The Australian Golf Heritage Society Museum's collection of golfing equipment, photographs and documents tells the story of golf in Australia. We have a number of permanent displays as well as temporary exhibitions, and an extensive library.
Just opened on 12 April is Golf & War, our exhibition to commemorate the centenary of the ANZAC landings at Gallipoli.
Golf & War looks at how golfers responded to Australia's involvement in conflicts. Amateur and professional, men and women are profiled. Some were decorated, others were prisoners of war. All had their lives interrupted.
The exhibition also looks at how golfers at home responded to war such as fundraising efforts and the use of golf courses by the military. Golf clubs played a part in remembering the servicemen's experiences with annual golf 'digger days'.
You can visit Golf and War on Sundays 10am – 4pm or by appointment. Entry is free.
The Museum can give advice on collecting, preserving and restoring old or antique golf clubs and other golfing artefacts.
The Golf Museum is proudly sponsored by Golf Mart and supported by Golf NSW, the PGA of Australia, and Museums & Galleries New South Wales. Premises are provided through the generosity of Mr. Denis Brosnan.

The nine best herbs for lung cleansing and respiratory support
Your respiratory system is constantly working. All day, every day, it is the vehicle for oxygen to enter your body. Unfortunately, it can also be an entry point for pollutants, irritants, dust, mold, fungus, harmful organisms, and other toxins. The constant exposure to impurities can take its toll.
Fortunately, whether you're experiencing the effects of inhaling toxins, or simply want to ensure your lungs are always at peak performance, nature has provided a number of herbs and botanicals that provide deep nutrition for the respiratory system.
How Are Herbs Beneficial for the Respiratory System?
Herbs that support lung health typically do so through one or more of the following actions:
Soothing irritated nasal passages and airways.
Acting as an expectorant that helps break up and expel chest congestion.
Relaxing the muscles near the upper respiratory system to quell a cough.
Calming the release of histamines.
Deterring the harmful organisms that produce upper respiratory issues.
Providing a source of antioxidants to reduce oxidative damage and redness.
9 Best Herbs for Lung Cleansing & Respiratory Health
Below I've listed the best herbs to support respiratory health.
1. Eucalyptus
Native to Australia, eucalyptus isn't just for koalas. Aborigines or native Australians first used these tree leaves for gastro-intestinal concerns, wound healing, fevers, and respiratory issues. After colonization, Australia began exporting the oils. Many have used the refreshing aroma of eucalyptus to promote respiratory health and soothe throat irritation.
Eucalyptus is a common ingredient in cough lozenges and syrups and its effectiveness is due to a compound called cineole. Cineole has numerous benefits — it's an expectorant, can ease a cough and congestion, and soothes irritated sinus passages. As a bonus, because eucalyptus contains antioxidants, it supports the immune system during a cold or other illness.
2. Lungwort
Lungwort is a flowering rhizomatous perennial herb that resembles lung tissue in appearance. However, this natural remedy doesn't just look the part. As early as the 1600s, lungwort has been used to promote lung and respiratory health and clear congestion. Lungwort also contains compounds that are powerfully effective against harmful organisms that affect respiratory health.
Although oregano contains the vitamins and nutrients required by the immune system, its primary benefits are due to its carvacrol and rosmarinic acid content. Both compounds are natural decongestants and histamine reducers that have direct, positive benefits on the respiratory tract and nasal passage airflow. Oregano has so many health benefits that the oil should be in everyone's medicine cabinet.
I recommend you check out this article to learn all the uses for organic oregano oil. Oregano oil also blends well with other healthful oils. If you'd like a premium, concentrated blend of organic oregano oil, organic peppermint, and cayenne oil in an organic extra virgin olive oil base with no artificial, chemical or toxic byproducts, then I recommend Oregatrex™. With a minimum 80 percent carvacrol content, Oregatrex can help boost your immune system and promote good health.
4. Plantain Leaf
The plantain leaf (Plantago major) has been used for hundreds of years to ease cough and soothe irritated mucous membranes. Clinical trials have found it favorable against cough, cold, and lung irritation. Plantain leaf has a bonus in that it may help relieve a dry cough by spawning mucus production in the lungs. Good stuff!
5. Elecampane
The Greeks, Romans, Chinese, and even Indian Ayurvedic medicine practitioners have cited elecampane for respiratory support and, since the 1800s, people have made lozenges and cough drops from elecampane root.
The reason? Elecampane has a relaxing effect on smooth tracheal muscles. There are two active compounds in elecampane root that provide the beneficial effect — inulin, which soothes bronchial passage, and alantolactone, an expectorant with antitussive action.
6. Lobelia
Did you know that horses given lobelia can breath more deeply? But its benefits are not limited to equines. Lobelia, by some accounts, is thought to be one of the most valuable herbal remedies in existence. Lobelia contains an alkaloid known as lobeline, which thins mucus, breaks up congestion.
Additionally, lobelia stimulates the adrenal glands to release epinephrine; in effect, this relaxes the airways and allows for easier breathing. Also, because lobelia helps to relax smooth muscles, it is included in many cough and cold remedies. Lobelia should be part of everyone's respiratory support protocol!
7. Chaparral
Chaparral (Larrea tridentata) — also called creosote bush — is native to the southwest United States and has long been appreciated by Native Americans for lung detoxification and respiratory support.
Chaparral contains powerful antioxidants that resist irritation and NDGA (nordihydroguaiaretic acid) which is known to influence histamine response. Chaparral is also an herb that fights harmful organisms. The benefits of chaparral are most available in a tincture extraction, but chaparral tea may support respiratory concerns by encouraging an expectorant action to clear airways of mucus.
8. Peppermint
Peppermint and peppermint oil contain menthol — a soothing ingredient known to relax the smooth muscles of the respiratory tract and promote free breathing.
Paired with the antihistamine effect of peppermint, menthol is a fantastic decongestant. Many people use therapeutic chest balms and other inhalants that contain menthol to help break up congestion. Additionally, peppermint is an antioxidant and fights harmful organisms.
9. Osha Root
Osha (Ligusticum porteri) is an herb native to the Rocky Mountain area and has historically been used by the Native Americans for respiratory support. The roots of the plant contain camphor and other compounds which make it one of the best lung-support herbs in America.
One of the main benefits of osha root is that it helps increase circulation to the lungs, which makes it easier to take deep breaths. Also, when seasonal sensitivities flare up your sinuses, osha root, which is not an actual antihistamine, does produce a similar effect and may help calm respiratory irritation!
Supplementing With Lung Support Herbs
All of the above herbs are available in various forms such as nutritional supplements and tea. Additionally, many people grow herbs in their garden and simply consume them as food. That's not a bad idea!
If you grow them yourself, you can rest easy knowing the source is a good one. If not, it can be difficult to know if nutritional supplements use herbs that are organic, contain pesticides, ethically harvested, given clean water, etc. These are not factors for which you can or simply should assume the best. Ask questions and verify that you're getting the best product possible.
To make it easy, I recommend Allertrex®, which contains several of the herbs listed above — organic and wildcrafted — as well as lovage, lemon balm, orange peel, and menthol.

Nanogeoscience  is the study of nanoscale phenomena related to geological systems.  Predominantly, this is investigated by studying environmental nanoparticles between 1–100 nanometers in size.  Other applicable fields of study include studying materials with at least one dimension restricted to the nanoscale (e.g. thin films, confined fluids) and the transfer of energy, electrons, protons, and matter across environmental interfaces.

The atmosphere

As more dust enters the atmosphere due to the consequences of human activity (from direct effects, such as clearing of land and desertification, versus indirect effects, such as global warming), it becomes more important to understand the effects of mineral dust on the gaseous composition of the atmosphere, cloud formation conditions, and global-mean radiative forcing (i.e., heating or cooling effects).

The ocean

Oceanographers generally study particles that measure 0.2 micrometres and larger, which means a lot of nanoscale particles are not examined, particularly with respect to formation mechanisms.

The soils

 Water–rock–bacteria nanoscience
 Although by no means developed, nearly all aspects (both geo- and bioprocesses) of weathering, soil, and water–rock interaction science are inexorably linked to nanoscience. Within the Earth's near-surface, materials that are broken down, as well as materials that are produced, are often in the nanoscale regime. Further, as organic molecules, simple and complex, as well as bacteria and all flora and fauna in soils and rocks interact with the mineral components present, nanodimensions and nanoscale processes are the order of the day.

 Metal transport nanoscience
 On land, researchers study how nanosized minerals capture toxins such as arsenic, copper, and lead from the soil. Facilitating this process, called soil remediation, is a tricky business.

Nanogeoscience is in a relatively early stage of development. The future directions of nanoscience in the geosciences will include a determination of the identity, distribution, and unusual chemical properties of nanosized particles and/or films in the oceans, on the continents, and in the atmosphere, and how they drive Earth processes in unexpected ways. Further, nanotechnology will be the key to developing the next generation of Earth and environmental sensing systems.

Size-dependent stability and reactivity of nanoparticles

Nanogeoscience deals with structures, properties and behaviors of nanoparticles in soils, aquatic systems and atmospheres. One of the key features of nanoparticles is the size-dependence of the nanoparticle stability and reactivity. This arises from the large specific surface area and differences in surface atomic structure of nanoparticles at small particle sizes. In general, the free energy of nanoparticles is inversely proportional to their particle size. For materials that can adopt two or more structures, size-dependent free energy may result in phase stability crossover at certain sizes. Free energy reduction drives crystal growth (atom-by-atom or by oriented attachment ), which may again drive the phase transformation due to the change of the relative phase stability at increasing sizes. These processes impact the surface reactivity and mobility of nanoparticles in natural systems.

Well-identified size-dependent phenomena of nanoparticles include:
 Phase stability reversal of bulk (macroscopic) particles at small sizes. Usually, a less stable bulk-phase at low temperature (and/or low pressure) becomes more stable than the bulk-stable phase as the particle size decreases below a certain critical size. For instance, bulk anatase (TiO2) is metastable with respect to bulk rutile (TiO2). However, in air, anatase becomes more stable than rutile at particle sizes below 14 nm. Similarly, below 1293 K, wurtzite (ZnS) is less stable than sphalerite (ZnS). In vacuum, wurtzite becomes more stable than sphalerite when the particle size is less than 7 nm at 300 K. At very small particle sizes, the addition of water to the surface of ZnS nanoparticles can induce a change in nanoparticle structure  and surface-surface interactions can drive a reversible structural transformation upon aggregation/disaggregation.  Other examples of size-dependent phase stability include systems of Al2O3, ZrO2, C, CdS, BaTiO3, Fe2O3, Cr2O3, Mn2O3, Nb2O3, Y2O3, and Au-Sb.
 Phase transformation kinetics is size-dependent and transformations usually occur at low temperatures (less than several hundred degrees). Under such conditions, rates of surface nucleation and bulk nucleation are low due to their high activation energies. Thus, phase transformation occurs predominantly via interface nucleation  that depends on contact between nanoparticles. As a consequence, the transformation rate is particle number (size)-dependent and it proceeds faster in densely packed (or highly aggregated) than in loosely packed nanoparticles. Complex concurrent phase transformation and particle coarsening often occur in nanoparticles.
 Size-dependent adsorption on nanoparticles  and oxidation of nanominerals.

These size-dependent properties highlight the importance of the particle size in nanoparticle stability and reactivity.

Other spots: Dharoi dam (Mehsana district) to connect Ambaji and Shatrunjay dam (Bhavnagar district) and Tapi in the next phase.
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) had requested state governments of Gujarat, Assam, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana and the administration of Andaman & Nicobar to propose potential locations for setting up water aerodromes to boost the tourism sector.
Impact it will have on the environment
The water aerodrome is not a listed project/activity in the Schedule to the Environmental Impact Assessment Notification, 2006 and its amendments.
However, the Expert Appraisal Committee was of the opinion that the activities proposed under the water aerodrome project may have a similar type of impact as that of an airport.
In its proposal seeking environmental clearance, the Director of Aviation, Government of Gujarat, had expressed fears of environmental impact during the stage of construction.
Also, according to the state government, during seaplane operations, there will be turbulence created in the water while takeoff and landing of seaplanes which will lead to more mixing of oxygen in the water having a positive impact on the aquatic ecosystem near seaplane operations
A seaplane is a fixed-winged aeroplane designed for taking off and landing on water.
It offers the public the speed of an aeroplane with the utility of a boat.
There are two main types of seaplane: flying boats (often called hull seaplanes) and floatplanes.
Seaplanes by multiple airline carriers are operational in countries like the Philippines, Canada, Australia, the United States, etc.
In India, Jal Hans, a commercial seaplane service based in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands was launched as a pilot project on 30 December 2010 by the Ministry of Civil Aviation.

The centres have been selected based on their past performances, quality of infrastructure, management and sports culture in the State.
The overall number now stands at 24 KISCEs from 23 States and UTs.
The assistance to these centres will be provided in the form of bridging the gaps in sports equipment, high performance managers, coaches, sports scientists and technical support.
Israel & Bahrain establish diplomatic Relations
Part of: GS Prelims and GS-II – International Relations
Recently, Israel and Bahrain have formally established diplomatic relations after signing the US brokered deal in Bahrain's capital Manama.
The two countries are now expected to open embassies.
Bahrain is now the fourth Arab country in the Middle East – after the UAE, Egypt and Jordan – to establish diplomatic Relations with Israel.
Important value additions
Bahrain is a sovereign state in the Persian Gulf.
The island nation comprises a small archipelago made up of 40 natural islands and an additional 51 artificial islands, centred around Bahrain Island which makes up around 83% of the country's landmass.
The country is situated between the Qatari peninsula and the north eastern coast of Saudi Arabia, to which it is connected by the 25-kilometre King Fahd Causeway.
The capital and largest city is Manama.
US Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett had recently described originalism as her legal philosophy.
It means interpreting the country's Constitution as per the intentions of USA's 18th-century founding leaders.
In legal philosophy, this theory prescribes that while resolving disputes, judges should interpret the constitution as it was understood at the time it was ratified, irrespective of whether they personally agree or disagree with the outcome of a case decided this way.
The legal philosophy which is said to be the opposite of originalism is 'living constitution' or 'modernism'.
This theory, supported by likes of the late Justice Ginsburg, believes that the constitution should be updated with times to encompass changing societal needs.
Slinex-20
The Eighth Edition of annual Indian Navy (IN) – Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) bilateral maritime exercise SLINEX-20 is scheduled off Trincomalee, Sri Lanka from 19 to 21 October 2020.
SLINEX-20 aims to enhance inter-operability, improve mutual understanding and exchange best practices and procedures for multi-faceted maritime operations between both navies.

Topic: General Studies 2:
Challenges associated with Judiciary & executive
Judicial Accountability
Judiciary and Executive: AP CM Letter to CJI
Context: Recently, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has stirred a hornet's nest by writing to the Chief Justice of India (CJI) complaining about Supreme Court(SC) judge Justice N.V. Ramana.
What were the allegations levelled in the letter?
Mr. Jagan said that Justice Ramana was a legal adviser and additional advocate-general in the previous government of the TDP.
AP CM has alleged that SC judge Justice N.V. Ramana (next in line to become CJI as per seniority) had been influencing the sittings and posting of cases in the State High Court.
AP CM has also cited instances of how matters important to the opposition Telugu Desam Party had been 'allocated to a few judges' and that some High Court judges are hostile to his government & deliberately striking down his government orders
In effect, he has accused many judges of misconduct, corruption and political bias.
In view of the above, the Chief Minister urged the Chief Justice of India to consider initiating steps to ensure that the State's judicial neutrality was maintained.
How are allegations of misconduct against judges dealt with?
The Constitution protects the independence of judges of the High Courts and the Supreme Court by making them removable only through a long process of impeachment.
However, not all forms of misconduct will warrant impeachment. There could be other kinds of impropriety too.
There are times when serious complaints of this sort are received, and the CJI is called upon to examine them.
Since 1997, judges have adopted an 'in-house procedure' for inquiring into such charges.
When was the procedure adopted?
After Justice J.S. Verma took over as CJI in 1997, he circulated among judges a document called 'Restatement of Values of Judicial life'. This was a set of principles containing the essential elements of ideal behaviour for judges.
The Full Court passed a resolution that an 'in-house procedure' would be adopted for action against judges for acts of commission or omission that go against these values.
A five-judge committee was constituted to come up with a procedure. Its report was adopted on December 15, 1999. It was made public in 2014.
How does the in-house procedure work?
When a complaint is received against a High Court judge, the CJI should decide if it is considered frivolous or if it is serious and "directly related to the merits of a substantive decision in a judicial matter".
If it is serious, the CJI should get the judge's response. He may close the matter if he is satisfied with the response.
If a deeper probe is considered necessary, both the complaint and the judge's response, along with the CJI's comments, are recorded for further action.
After considering the High Court's Chief Justice, the judge involved (accused of Political bias) and the complaint (here AP CM), the CJI, if deemed necessary, forms a three-member committee.
If a Supreme Court judge faces such a charge, the in-house panel will comprise three Supreme Court judges.
The inquiry the three-member committee holds is of the nature of a fact-finding mission and is not a formal judicial inquiry involving examination of witnesses. The judge concerned is entitled to appear before it.
What happens after the probe is done?
If the committee finds substance in the charges, it can give two kinds of recommendations. One, that the misconduct is serious enough to require removal from office, or that it is not serious enough to warrant removal.
In the former case, the judge concerned will be urged to resign or seek voluntary retirement.
If the judge is unwilling to quit, the Chief Justice of the High Court concerned would be asked to withdraw judicial work from him.
The President and the Prime Minister will be informed of the situation. This is expected to clear the way for Parliament to begin the process of impeachment.
How will the CM's complaint be handled?
The complaint by the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister will have to be examined by the CJI from the perspective of whether it can be rejected as baseless, or it requires a deeper investigation.
In details annexed to his letter, Mr. Reddy has cited several writ petitions in which adverse orders were passed against his regime.
Consequences of this controversy
Impacts Democratic Functioning: Such type of confrontation and mistrust between two organs of State is not conducive for smooth working of Democracy. The ultimate victim will be the common man who will be bereft of better governance
Politicization of Judiciary: The serious accusation by a sitting Chief Minister brings out to the foreground the weakness of Judiciary. Similar kind of charges might be levelled by opposition parties when it comes to power. All these leads to politicization of the Institution of Judiciary.
Integrity of SC Judges is doubted: Every judgement delivered the judges involved in this controversy will be questioned which is not good even from Institutional perspective
Legitimacy of the institution at stake: Such type of allegations and counter allegation will create doubts in minds of Public about the ability to get justice from Formal system. As a result, people will tend to fall back on undemocratic informal judicial systems like Khap Panchayats.
Judiciary's Grievance Redressal Mechanism tested: How the CJI & SC is going to handle this case will set a precedent to deal with misconduct of Judges in future. If the process is not robust, fair & transparent then the calls for greater executive control on Judiciary will increase (Judicial Standards and Accountability Bill)

Auction Theory: 2020 Economics Nobel Prize
Context: In 2020 U.S. economists Paul Milgrom and Robert Wilson won the Nobel Economics Prize for their work on commercial auctions, including for goods and services difficult to sell in traditional ways such as radio frequencies
What is auction theory?
Auction theory is a branch of economics that deals with, as the name suggests, auctions.
Auctions are important to economists because they are the most widely used and also the most efficient mechanism to allocate scarce resources.
In particular, auction theory deals with the various ways in which auctions can be designed to improve seller revenues, increase benefits to consumers, or even achieve both these goals at the same time.
How is it relevant?
Throughout history, countries have tried to allocate resources in various ways.
Some have tried to do it through political markets, but this has often led to biased outcomes. For Ex: The rationing of essential goods worked in State-controlled economies. People who were close to the bureaucracy and the political class came out ahead of others.
Lotteries are another way to allocate resources, but they do not ensure that scarce resources are allocated to people who value it the most.
Auctions, for a good reason, have been the most common tool for thousands of years used by societies to allocate scarce resources.
When potential buyers compete to purchase goods in an auction, it helps sellers discover those buyers who value the goods the most.
Further, selling goods to the highest bidder also helps the seller maximise his or her revenues. So, both buyers and sellers benefit from auctions.
Whether it is the auction of spectrum waves or the sale of fruits and vegetables, auctions are at the core of allocation of scarce resources in a market economy.
What are the criticisms levelled against auctions and what are the economists contribution?
Issue of Winner's Curse
The most common one is that auctions can lead buyers to overpay for resources whose value is uncertain to them.
This criticism, popularly known as the 'winner's curse', is based on a study that showed how buyers who overpaid for U.S. oil leases in the 1970s earned low returns. Dr. Wilson was the first to study this matter.
The rational bidders may decide to underpay for resources in order to avoid the 'winner's curse', and Dr. Wilson argued that sellers can get better bids for their goods if they share more information about it with potential buyers
Auction formats
Economists traditionally working on auction theory believed that all auctions are the same when it comes to the revenues that they managed to bring in for sellers. The auction format, in other words, did not matter.
This is known as the 'revenue equivalence theorem'.
But Dr. Milgrom showed that the auction format can actually have a huge impact on the revenues earned by sellers.
The most famous case of an auction gone wrong for the seller was the spectrum auction in New Zealand in 1990.
In what is called a 'Vickrey auction', where the winner of the auction is mandated to pay only the second-best bid, a company that bid NZ$1,00,000 eventually paid just NZ$6 and another that bid NZ$70,00,000 only paid NZ$5,000.
In particular, Dr. Milgrom showed how Dutch auctions, in which the auctioneer lowers the price of the product until a buyer bids for it, can help sellers earn more revenues than English auctions.
In the case of English auctions, the price rises based on higher bids submitted by competing buyers. But as soon as some of the bidders drop out of the auction as the price rises, the remaining bidders become more cautious about bidding higher prices.
Real world Contribution of Economists through better auction model
Dr. Milgrom and Dr. Wilson, however, are most popular for their contribution towards devising new, real-world auction formats.
The combinatorial auctions designed by the duo, for instance, have been used to sell complex goods such as spectrum as bundles, instead of as individual units.
Earlier, governments sold spectrum rights on a piecemeal basis, which made it unappealing to companies which demanded spectra in a bundle.
This led to private speculators earning billions in the secondary market by reselling spectrum, while the government was starved of revenues that it could have easily earned with better auction design.
The contributions of Dr. Milgrom and Dr. Wilson have helped governments and private companies design their auctions better.
This has, in turn, helped in the better allocation of scarce resources and offered more incentives for sellers to produce complex goods.

It's deeply realistic yet troubling subject matter is causing a sensation.
Girl came out of nowhere to be the surprise hit in Cannes this year. The Belgian film, about a 15 year-old boy who dreams of becoming a ballerina, scooped four major awards: the Camera d'Or for best first feature for writer-director Lukas Dhont, the best actor prize for Victor Polster in Un Certain Regard as well as the Fipresci critics prize in that section, and the Queer Palm.
Packing an emotional punch, Girl was highly personal for the 26 year-old Dhont as it relates to his own gender confusion as a teen.
In Girl he was determined to have his protagonist Lara embrace who she is at age 15.
Showing that complexity meant watching the attractive, blonde, blue-eyed Lara strapping down her male genitalia—a body double was used for these scenes—and making her larger male feet work so she can stand on her tippy-toes.
Dhont's inspiration for the story came from an article he read in a Belgian newspaper in 2009 when he was still in the closet with his own homosexuality. "It was about a young girl Nora, who wanted to become a ballerina but she was born with the body of a boy. I was in a quest for my own identity so Nora was like a personal hero." The pair became friends.
While in the film Dhont was keen to present a mostly positive picture, of Lara's supportive father and enlightened doctors helping in her gender realignment, he couldn't resist including his own experiences at a strict Catholic high school, where he says, "the girls were crueller than the boys". He explains how that all changed when he went to study film at art school.
"I was dropped from this religious conservative environment to 'Let's go wild, let's go crazy'. So it was quite a confusing time." He had success with several short films before embarking on Girl after his graduation in 2014. Finding his protagonist would prove his greatest challenge.
Polster, a student at the Royal Ballet School in Antwerp, is now 16 and was 15 when he made the film. Confident and ambitious, he will go far.
Dhont defends his casting of a cisgender actor, a subject that has been up for debate.
Today dressed in a blue designer suit offsetting his blue eyes, Dhont seems comfortable in his own skin. Highly articulate and fluent in three languages - his native Flemish, English and French - he is ready to talk up his film internationally.
Girl will certainly figure in other major festivals and awards as Call Me By Your Name and A Fantastic Woman did this year.
Girl screens at the Sydney Film Festival and will show around the country later in the year.

Soma Wellness Lounge
By Patrick Wagner
Soma Wellness Center in Crested Butte, Colorado.
CRESTED BUTTE, Colo. — If there's a future in social cannabis, it could be found somewhere within the walls at Soma Wellness Lounge in Crested Butte, Colorado. The themes that dominate the interior design of many retailers' location, such as counterculture icons, graffiti art or tie-dyed dancing bears, were left out so that Soma Wellness Lounge could take a more classical approach.
Polished hardwoods grace the floor. Stylish furniture stands out against the olive green and dark purple walls that run parallel with the ornate rugs and featured art gallery. It's an elegant design made for lounging and hasn't changed since Soma Wellness opened in 2010.
"We originally had Soma open in Boulder starting in 2010 as a medical dispensary and then moved up to Crested Butte, to switch to a recreational store on April 1, 2014," explains Abra Karbin, one of the managers for Soma Wellness.
In 2010, Soma Wellness was met with enthusiastic reviews for its posh décor and unique atmosphere by Boulder locals. After state legislation matured to allow for recreational sales, Soma was poised to make the four-hour trek to Crested Butte where it re-launched as an adult-use retailer. Thankfully, due to Colorado state law, Soma was able to take nearly its entire menu of products from Boulder.
"For retail, you do have to supply up to 70 percent of your retail marijuana and then you can purchase up to 30 percent from an external source," Karbin said.
Although Soma Wellness was able to retain 70 percent of its own product, Karbin said the business was also able to maintain working relationships with its preferred vendors.
"There's one (external source) that we already have a relationship with, so, in terms of bud we prefer to go through L'Eagle (in Denver)," Karbin said.
Even though Soma has been able to maintain its menu and atmosphere after relocating more than halfway across Colorado, Karbin maintains that it's too hard to determine what product performs best for its customers.
"I's hard to say," she said. "We have a lot of good bud; a lot of people just buy weed. But we have a great selection of edibles and topicals as well."

'The ParaPod: A Very British Ghost Hunt' Movie Locations
October 03, 2021 1:00 AM ‐ The ParaPod • Movies • Paranormal
This article is more than one year old.
WARNING: This Article Contains Spoilers Throughout
While filming 'The ParaPod: A Very British Ghost Hunt', the film that was born from their podcast series, Ian Boldwsworth and Barry Dodds visited various paranormal hotspots across the country. As well as the infamous Black Monk House in Pontefract, the duo investigated the Ancient Ram Inn, Edinburgh Vaults, and the supposedly very haunted Codnor Castle.
Below is a list of all the haunted locations that feature in the movie and a little about each location's haunted histories.
Pluckley, Kent
The village of Pluckley sits on the edge of the North Downs in Kent and is mentioned in the Domesday Book after the time of the Norman Conquest, but dating far further back through Roman times and beyond. The traditional picture-postcard English village is said to be the most haunted village in England, due to several well documented reports of ghost sightings.
Pluckley was the topic of a podcast episode in The ParaPod's first series back in 2017. In the movie Barry takes Ian on a ghostly taxi tour of the village, taking in Maltman's Hill, where the sound of horses hooves running along road have been heard. They also spend the night in the village's legendary Dering Woods, also known as "the screaming woods".
Edinburgh Vaults, Scotland
Photo: youtube.com
One of the movie's most pivotal moments takes place in the network of eerie chambers formed within the arches of the South Bridge in Edinburgh, which houses a witches coven and has a lot of dark and sinister history.
Visitors to the vaults, which are now a tourist attraction, report hearing disembodied voices, including the sound of children crying. The mysterious sound of feet shuffling can also be heard coming from dark corners of the vaults, and people have reported being touched.
The Ancient Ram Inn, Gloucestershire
Ian and Barry filmed at the Grade II listed building in Wotton-under-Edge with a psychic medium the day after the death of its former owner, John Humphries, resulting in an odd atmosphere.
Some of the most commonly reported activity includes highly localised cold spots, temperature drops and unexplained icy blasts of air. There's also activity in the form of light anomalies seen with the naked eye and caught on camera. Doors are said to slam on their own, footsteps are frequently heard, furniture is heard sliding around and mysterious knocking is witnessed.
The Old Victorian School, Nottingham
The old school building in Long Eaton features briefly in the movie. Evidence collected by previous teams investigation the location includes unexplained noises, sightings of dark shadowy figures, and even poltergeist activity.
There's been reports of object moving of their own accord, strange bangs, and the cracking sound of a cane, plus reports of strange light phenomenon, extreme temperature changes, disembodied voices and the unnerving feeling of being watched.
30 East Drive, Pontefract
The infamous "Black Monk House" at 30 East Drive in Pontefract has been discussed in depth by Barry and Ian in the podcast, even serving as the location for the podcast's Halloween special.
Reports of poltergeist activity at the typical three-bedroom semi-detached house started after the Pritchard family moved in to the house in 1966. The house is now a popular venue for ghost hunters and paranormal researchers who visit the property still log countless paranormal occurrences to this day.
Codnor Castle & Farmhouse, Derbyshire

Codnor Castle Cottage sits in the grounds of the ruins of a medieval castle on the border between Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. The farmhouse and the castle itself play an important role in the movie as a location that Barry takes Ian to in the hopes he'll be able to prove to him that ghosts exist.
The reason Barry picked this spot as a location for the movie was based on his experience there from a previous visit. He said, "I remember when I was in there the first time and I thought 'this place is incredible' and I said at the time 'I've got a feeling that I'll be back here for some reason' and of course we went back for the ParaPod Movie because it was just so good."
The castle grounds are said to be haunted by a soldier of the Knight's Templar who was injured in battle and took refuge in the castle over night. The grounds are also said to be haunted by a spirit known as the Grey Lady, it's said she was a heavily pregnant French woman, and died following an accident while out riding her horse.
The paranormal occurrences in the cottage ranges from dark shadows, to poltergeist activity like doors slamming, furniture being moved across rooms, and glasses thrown. There have been countless reports of disembodied voices including singing, laughter, the voices of children, and blood-curdling screams.
This rural Baroque style baptist church was a prominent location in the film. It's not a haunted building and is not identified in the film, but it is a stunning building, which looks even more impressive in the movie captured in the snow. However, it is where a pivotal moment in the movie takes place.

Yamaha Vmax fuel gas Tank, 20 Liter-5,3 US Gallonen Tank for your VMax 1200.
Tank for Yamaha Vmax 1200.
Bigger fuel gas tank Vmax for 20 liter- 5,3 US-Gallone fits Vmax 1200 all Years and Models.
Many V max riders are not satisfied with the small 15 litre original tank.
Furthermore the accessory tanks offered by many tuning firms "look damn ugly" nor do they take account of the weight distribution.
We have decided to build a synthetic material biggerV Max Tank that replaces the original V Max Tank and has a greater capacity.
The Tank fits all V-Max`s that still have the original frame.
Since this tank has been enlarged in all directions the space in the frame is reduced to a minimum.
2: The rear swing arm should not be higher beneath the tank than the original swing arm. Accessory steel swing arms from Class, Degget, Krueger & Junginger and OTEC are all suitable.
Others like CNC-milled Fischer-swings or one arm swings need to be tested in each case for the required distance.
When ordering please state what kind of swing arm you are using!
3: At the end of the series exhaust pipes you'll find a heat shield.
This may "not be removed".
Retrofit kits like 4 in 1 or 4 in 2 BSM and others don't have such heat shields.
In that case we will offer the matching heat shield at an addprice from 44.-€.
Please tell us by Order.
Original, 5,0 X 17-170/60, 5,5 X 17-180/55 and 190/50, 6,0 X 17 180/55 also 190/50.
Depending on the type of installation wheel / tire, combinations of different sizes may be used.
For example 6,25 X 17 J or 5 X 18J 170/60.
The last one does have in fact the same dimension as the original one.
Each case must be looked at individually!
With wheels from 5,5 J and up there may be a slight track offset to the right.
As mentioned before will the tank fit into the frame without any adjustments, except the fender in the area of the tank must be shortened for about 3 centimeter (as shown).
All Schwabenmax Rearfender will be fit without any Modification for the Tank.
The series synthetic fender to the rear wheel is no longer necessary.
For other seats Big Bike tail rebuilds or alike, the space conditions must be discussed separately.
The Corbin seat is fit without any modification.
The filler pipe is positioned as on the original.
The series tank cap, rubberbands, gasoline filters may be used.
Rotation glace proceeded DIN 16901,160.
Construction materal VEPE. Smooth,non-paintable surface.
Heat resistant up to 85 Celsius, melting point at 120 Celsius.
Remark: max. temperature reached in a real test was in the area of 60 Celsius.
Empty weight approximately 2200 grams, maximum content 20,0 litre incl 2.7 Litre reserve.
The construction material VEPE will expand after filling up with gasoline.
The expansion value is 1,74% after 30 days and approximately 2% after 1 year.
The tank then remains in this form. This expansion benefits the volume.
The stated value of 20,5 litre corresponds to the tank-content after 30/60 days.
This was taken into account at modeling and construction of the tank.
This consequently also guarantees that the tank after conclusion of its expansion can easily be removed and installed.

Prominent Russians: Mikhail Zurabov
Born October 3, 1953
Mikhail Zurabov (Photo from http://www.kremlin.ru)
Russian Ambassador to Ukraine, and Russia's former Minister of Health and Social Development. Founder of the MAKS insurance company.
Mikhail Zurabov was born in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) on October 3, 1953, to a family of civil servants. His father Yury Zurabov was a senior official of the USSR's Ministry of Marine Fleet. His mother Engelina Zurabova had a PhD in biological sciences.
In 1968, Mikhail Zurabov entered the specialized physics and mathematics School #239 in Leningrad. The school was a branch of the Steklov Institute of Mathematics – a research institute that specialized in math and was a branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
The future Minister graduated from school in 1970 and enrolled in the Leningrad Institute of Water Transport, but transferred in 1971 to the Faculty of Economic Cybernetics at the Moscow Institute of Management. Zurabov graduated in 1975, and worked at the institute from 1975 to 1978.
In 1982 he successfully defended his doctoral thesis. From 1983 to 1988, Zurabov served as a senior research assistant for mounting technology at the Scientific Research and Design Institute.
His academic record earned him an appointment as deputy chief of the Mospromtehmontazh trust, a major industrial construction company, in 1988, where he served until 1992. The company would become one of the major shareholders of the Moscow Insurance Company MAKS, established in 1992. Zurabov headed MAKS till 1998.
The company chiefly provided medical insurance. Today, it is among the most well-known insurance companies in Russia, with a national rating of A++. MAKS is also listed as one of the ten most stable insurance companies in the country.
In 1998, Mikhail Zurabov left MAKS and accepted a post as deputy Health Minister in the government of Sergey Kiriyenko. When the financial crisis struck in August of that year, Kiriyenko's cabinet resigned. When Evgeny Primakov assumed control of the government in October of the same year, Mikhail Zurabov was dismissed.
From November 1998 to May 1999, Zurabov served as an advisor on social issues to President Boris Yeltsin. Zurabov was then appointed chairman of the Pension Fund in 2000, and pension reform was initiated in 2002 under his direct supervision.
The reform was a complete failure. An estimated 98 percent of Russian citizens didn't buy in to the new pension system. The mistakes made by Mikhail Zurabov's ministry were evident to everybody, including him. He admitted that strategies for reform must be reconsidered.
Zurabov was reappointed Minister of Health and Social Development on March 9, 2004, in Mikhail Fradkov's government. While holding the post, Zurabov enacted a number of social reforms that sparked national controversy.
Zurabov was one of the prime movers of a reform scheme that consisted of replacing social security benefits with cash payouts. The so-called 'monetization' was highly controversial. The sums paid out were not commensurate to the benefits lost in exchange. In the first few months of 2005, a number of rallies took place across the country. It was later admitted by the government that the reform failed, and was left unfinished.

Zurabov was repeatedly accused by the media of lobbying for the interests of different insurance and medical companies.
Policies enacted by Zurabov in 2007 prompted strong criticism from the members of the State Duma. He was accused of improperly implementing the program that replaced social security with cash payments. Zurabov's main critic in parliament was the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF), and its leader Gennady Zyuganov.
On April 4, 2007, State Duma members declared Mikhail Zurabov's performance as a minster unsatisfactory. Some members of Parliament proposed the Ministry be divided into two specialized Ministries: the Ministry of Public Health and the Ministry of Social Development. The proposal failed to pass the State Duma.
On September 12, 2007 Zurabov became acting Minister of Health and Social Development, over the fact that Prime Minister Fradkov asked President Vladimir Putin for a resignation of his cabinet. After Prime Minister Viktor Zubkov was appointed, Zurabov was not re-appointed to his post.
While holding his so-called 'social minister' post invoked, Zurabov was roundly criticized by many citizens. He also became an object of fierce ridicule and hatred in many business sectors, including medicine suppliers.
In 2007, Zurabov became an advisor to President Vladimir Putin. The appointment was kept secret for some time, due to Zubarov's wide unpopularity. In the wake of the election of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, Zurabov was reappointed to his post of Advisor to the President of Russia.
On June 22, 2009, it was reported in the media that Mikhail Zurabov would be tapped to succeed Viktor Chernomyrdin as Russia's ambassador to Ukraine. The appointment was confirmed two days later. The following day, the State Duma received documents for Zurabov's consideration for the post.
Mikhail Zurabov was considered to be a strange choice by the political establishment for ambassador to Ukraine. Political relations with Ukraine were considered to be outside of Zurabov's expertise, since he lacked any diplomatic experience.
Mihkail Zurabov and Vladimir Putin (Photo from http://kremlin.ru)
The Communist Party strong criticized and opposed the decision to name him ambassador. Nevertheless, his candidacy was approved on August 5, 2009. On August 11, President Medvedev sent a letter to his Ukrainian counterpart stating that during the years of Viktor Yushchenko's presidency, relations between the two countries had shifted from their original principles of friendship and partnership. President Medvedev said a decision had been made not to send the ambassador until relations thawed.
"The Russian President quite clearly said that the ambassador would be sent when there is a chance to change the relationship. Until then, the ambassador would be staying in Moscow," a spokesperson said to the Ukrainian President at the press conference.
Zurabov was put on ice until January 19, 2010, when he received an order from the President to begin his diplomatic duties. It was clear by that time that Yushchenko would not be re-elected for a second term. Zurabov currently holds his ambassadorial post in Kiev.
Zurabov is married to Julia Zurabova, a business executive. She runs her own company: a dealership for medicine and medical equipment. The couple has three children.
Pavel Borodin Pavel Borodin, the acting State Secretary of the Union of Russia and Belarus, headed the Department of Presidential Affairs while Boris Yeltsin was President. Leonid Nevzlin A Russian businessmen and billionaire currently living in Israel, Leonid Nevzlin is the former vice-president of the Yukos oil company. Grigoriy Yavlinsky Grigory Yavlinsky is the leader of the Russian Democratic Party Yabloko. For a long time his name has been forgotten, but recently Yabloko returned to the political stage. Andrey Zhdanov Andrey Zhdanov was one of Stalin's close allies. In the Soviet Union his name was always among those who were said to "faithfully serve the welfare of the people." Lavrentiy Beria Lavrentiy Beria was certainly one of the most vicious and mysterious figures of Stalin's era and Stalin's most sinister hangman. Andrey Lugovoy Andrey Lugovoy is the prime suspect in the British investigation into the murder of ex-KGB agent Aleksandr Litvinenko.

RUBiS moving ahead with Water Lane takeover - despite protests from ex-JGRA head, colleagues
Published:Thursday | January 3, 2019 | 12:00 AM
Norman Grindley
Philip Chong (left), past president of the Jamaica Gasolene Retailers Association (JGRA) and operator of RUBiS Water Lane service station, and JGRA President Gregory Chung accompanied protesters outside RUBiS headquarters in east Kingston yesterday.
On Sunday, RUBiS Jamaica will take over operations of its Water Lane, downtown Kingston, service station, terminating the contractual arrangement with immediate past president of the Jamaica Gasolene Retailers Association (JGRA) Philip Chong, who has operated it for the past four years.
"The company is going to take over the location on the sixth of January, but the location is closed on Sundays, so technically, the operations won't start until Monday," an insider told The Gleaner.
The source, who did not wish to be identified, was responding to queries about yesterday's demonstration at RUBiS' refinery in Rockfort, east Kingston, staged by the JGRA to protest the decision by the French company to terminate Chong's contract, citing a breach.
"He is in breach of contract because he has closed the location since yesterday (Wednesday)," the company representative disclosed.
"He was supposed to continue operating up to January 5 (tomorrow). The notice that he got also stated that if he intended to leave the premises early, all he had to do was communicate these intentions in writing, and it would not have been a problem, but he did not do that. So technically, he is in breach."
However, when The Gleaner visited the Water Lane service station yesterday, it was in full operation, and Chong was on the premises. The embattled businessman later joined the demonstrators, where the JGRA had assembled a mix of employees and customers from stations outside the Corporate Area.
Chong told The Gleaner that he took over the failed station at the behest of RUBiS Jamaica. Since then, however, because of sustained advocacy on behalf of fellow service station operators, the former JGRA president said that he had fallen from grace and was now suffering the same brand of RUBiS victimisation against which he so vigorously campaigned.
"I took it from the third lowest in the 49 stations under the RUBiS banner and brought it to the top three. But because I look out for the people's interests, they decide they are going to victimise me by taking back this most profitable of stations," the businessman charged.
He continued: "Their explanation to me is a clear case of victimisation. They state that they want to operate a better model. How can they operate a better model when in less than four years, you take the station from zero to the top? What better model do you want than that?"

text: Q: Why is "Equal Rites" misspelled on two pages? In the HarperTorch paperback of Equal Rites the title of the book is misspelled on the heading of two different pages as "Equal Rights" (I don't have the book with me at the moment). This seems likely to just be an error, but knowing Pratchett, I'm wondering about whether this is some joke or point that I've missed. Does anyone know of a reason for this misspelling?

What is a collage? And how should I do it?
Discussion in 'Arts' started by Joshopoke, Dec 19, 2017.
A collage is to put pieces of things together on a piece of paper or any surface to make something. How you should do it: 1. You can get magazines and cut out different objects (not words) 2. Then get the pieces you cut out. 3. Glue them on a piece of paper or poster to form somethingExample: Cutting out a head of a person, a random body from a picture, arms, 2 gloves as hands, pants, leggings, boots. (all should be cut out) Now you have to put them the way you want it. Put them together like putting a puzzle together. Like, putting the head on the top, the body underneath, the arms on each side, put gloves, pants under, leggings, then boots as feet. (to form a person or something) Hope this helps.

Instead of attempting to come to an arrangement with creditors, a society can opt for a voluntary arrangement based on a company voluntary arrangement (CVA). This involves the appointment of a licensed insolvency practitioner who is responsible for developing the arrangement with creditors, securing their support for this arrangement, and administering its implementation. The CVA must be approved by creditors representing at least 75% of the debt. A CVA does not require member approval because it cannot involve a restructuring, amalgamation or transfer of ownership of the society itself. Instead a CVA usually involves scheduled payments to creditors through the insolvency practitioner until these debts are paid off.

Circa Survive – Violent Waves
Brian Shultz
Violent Waves
Nothing about the path Circa Survive have taken over the last seven years has been surprising. Formed by the adored frontman of a cult favorite and a handful of seasoned musicians with strong roots in progressive hardcore, the band release a couple of incredibly well-received albums for a revered indie label, growing their fanbase significantly; they make the jump to a major and issue possibly their best record to date; fail to see mainstream success regardless; and decide to go the independent route. This story's old, but it will go on and on until Circa disappear. But if Violent Waves, the act's first album since shaking free of Atlantic Records' shackles is any indication, let's all hope that moment doesn't come any time soon.
It would be hard not to call Violent Waves Circa Survive's best effort to date. Everything fans have come to expect in a record of theirs is here, but amplified: sprawling, immersive atmospheres that actually feel atmospheric; frontman Anthony Green's raspy, inhuman yelp stretched to its dynamic limits; a sparkling, beautiful recording (self-produced this round); and a fragile undercurrent of tense emotion seemingly prone to break at any given point. While influences on their past records were relatively easy to pin down (namely the creative peaks of early-'00s post-hardcore like Engine Down and Cave In), they're unified in such a way now that feels distinctly "Circa Survive." They pace the record with an indelible patience that demands the same from listeners, but rewards them throughout the journey.
Book-ended by a pair of seven-minute-long tracks (the two lengthiest in the band's songbook), "Birth Of The Economic Hit Man" starts the record subtly enough, but less than two minutes later, Green's howling a gritty chorus. As short as the buildup is, it feels completely natural in Circa's crafty hands, and it's an apt preview of what's to come. It's hardly the sole trick up their collective sleeve, though. "Sharp Practice" employs funk flavoring with an unusual urgency and a demurely upbeat chorus; guest vocals from Zolof The Rock And Roll Destroyer's Rachel Minton brings an Eisley-like prettiness to the balladic (but hardly sappy) "Suitcase"; "Phantasmagoria" stews in prog, folk, country-rock twang and psychedelic tones seamlessly. There's also the epic, wildly memorable "The Lottery": a driving intro; lurching stop-start verses that resemble At The Drive-In at half-speed; and a sneaky crescendo to the gorgeous, brooding chorus. On top of that, Geoff Rickly is actually responsible for singing said chorus, his first recorded appearance since Thursday called it quits in late 2011. His modest, breathy delivery adds a brand new vocal dynamic to Circa's sound, blending in perfectly.
One would think that the happily married and child-rearing Green (check out AP 283's cover story) wouldn't have any more demons to exorcise, but Violent Waves' title doesn't lie. The enigmatic singer portrays a picture of strained disconsolation in "My Only Friend" and the aching "Think Of Me When They Sound," which hints at an ex-lover finding eternal happiness with another. Wherever he's pulling from for cathartic acts like these, it's a porous wellspring of emotional inspiration that keeps the record grounded and contemplative. Even in a stretch of optimism, like on closer "I'll Find A Way," Green sounds assuring in a mostly humble manner.
Perhaps the only surprise about Violent Waves is how strong and focused, creatively fierce and yet cohesive Circa Survive sound despite the oncoming pressure of taking on this record all themselves as a considerably popular band. While they've journeyed a route so many before them already have, few have achieved this level of artistic success and character development in the process.
