Fibonacci, an agrotech startup based in Talinn, Estonia, today launches an initial coin offering (ICO) that it hopes will start a revolution in cannabis farming. The company's product combines LED lighting and hydroponics in a fully automated indoor appliance. Fibonacci's goal is to invest the proceeds of the ICO into a production facility and business center in the US, with plans to begin supplying its growers to the USD 8 billion North American cannabis market by August 2018.
Fibonacci's initial coin offering will sell up to USD 13.76 million worth of /FIB in two phases. The presale runs Feb 14 – 23, 2018, during which 35,000 tokens will be available for 0.1 /ETH each. The public crowdsale will then run from Feb 24 – March 24, at which point the price will graduate up to 0.15 /ETH. A total of 172,000 /FIB tokens will be available. According to Fibonacci, these tokens can later be exchanged for shares in the company, used towards the purchase of Fibonacci appliances or traded normally on crypto markets.
The company intends to waste no time in putting the funds to use in moving Fibonacci from its current base in Estonia to North America. The team aims to not only build out a "hangar style" structure in Nevada capable of manufacturing the appliances, but to buy an adjoining plot of land too. The plans are ambitious, but Fibonacci has already invested two years of intense research and development into the product itself, according to their statement. Clearly they feel the next step is to produce at scale and go to market.
If Fibonacci's results live up to their marketing, the company's impact on the cannabis market could be enormous. The device itself is engineered to be an accessible appliance consisting of four rotating vegetation cells that allow operators to reap harvests in sequence. Users don't have to be botanically inclined, thanks to automated control of the growing environment. All they have to do is open the grower's glass door and pick off the plant for daily consumption—a personal wine cellar for weed. The Fibonacci can also grow other herbs and vegetables, but it will be cannabis that the company attempts to target.
The timing of their entry into the market is a gamble. On one hand, the North American cannabis industry is booming. The space is attracting blockchain projects like Paragon, which launched late last year. On the other hand, the legal inflection point towards which cannabis seems to be moving in North America has anything but greenfield ahead of it. US officials have signaled a crackdown on marijuana, and for the near term, that trend doesn't show signs of abating. Whether a team of émigré cannabis innovators can survive in Trump's America will be a fascinating story to watch.

So what are institutions? We sometimes talk of things like banking institutions, or medical institutions, which sometimes evoke ideas of institutions as places, whereas institutions are really a mechanism of society. We create institutions as a way to govern and maintain society – they are structures that hold together social life. For example, we sometimes speak of the family as an institution. We are not referring to some discrete object when we talk about family – we are interested in the relationships that we have grouped together under the label of family. Different societies have different groupings under that label. For some, it might be the nuclear family. For other societies, it might be the extended family, or some other set of relations beyond notions of biology. What is important to remember is that each institution reflects and supports the values of the society in which it is situated.
Societies build and maintain institutions to create and perpetuate acceptable modes of behavior and interaction that help propagate and stabilize that society. In capitalist societies, banks are considered an institution in that they refer to a relationship of labour and capital. In the economic crashes of the early 21st century, banks were said to be destabilizing. This means that the relationships that form the institutions of banking were seen to be weakening, and as such, we saw a commensurate change in the notions of labour and capital, and their relationships and roles within society.
Social relations that are codified into institutions therefore have within them some measure of power. And this is where we come back to discourses. Institutions produce discourses as part of the interaction of their social relations, and these discourses reflect and reinforce the dominant ideologies that support and maintain these institutions. It is only when these discourses are challenged that we see the institutions challenged, and sometimes this leads to an institutional change which reflects the changing values in a society.
That's a lot of looping around, so let's take a look at an example that has a number of different communicative elements. Let's look at smoking.
Smoking as a social issue and a personal behaviour has now entered the public health discourses. It is now related to and reflects a negative social position – smoking is seen to be socially undesirable, and these negative connotations are framed in terms of health and wellness.
This is a relatively recent change. In the first half of the 20th century, smoking occupied a different institutional position, and was part of a different set of discourses related to relaxation and social desirableness. In the immediate post-war period, smoking was seen as a masculine pursuit, and women did not smoke publicly until smoking as a sign entered into discourses around female enfranchisement and the gendering of power. With the rise of public relations, discourses of smoking as a socially acceptable activity for both men and women were constructed by the early ad men, reflecting a developing institutional idea of feminine power. They even came up with the tagline 'torches of freedom.' (Bernays) Smoking was a public performance of power, prestige, and luxury and so the sign of smoking became associated with such discourses.
To propagate the business of smoking (a very profitable industry) as the first negative health impacts of smoking became apparent, the discourses surrounding smoking shifted again, and we started to see the rise of the early medical and health rhetorics to counteract the negative discourses of smoking-related illnesses. So in the advertising around cigarettes from 1960 to 1990, we can see a tension between two competing institutional discourses – smoking as being good for you (social discourse) and smoking as being bad for you (medical/health discourse).
1949 TV commercial from Camel cigarettes
Slowly, over the decades, the smoking-as-unhealthy discourse gained dominance, and smoking shifted more fully to fit into discourses of health and social wellness as the institutional landscape around medicine, the human body and leisure were renegotiated to take into account these new relationships and the new signification of smoking cigarettes.
Now, smoking is something of a social taboo, reflecting the new dominant ideologies around smoking and the relationships that represents between smoking and health, and evoking medical discourses and symbols and language of not only ill-health, but also signifiers of shame and ostracism.
Australian anti-smoking ad (nd)
We can see similar trajectories of discourses and institutions regarding race, class and gender throughout history. Over time, as new ideologies gained social power, old institutions underwent a period of disruption, and new institutions, new sets of social relations, were built up in their place.
Describe what you understand as an institution in your own words.

Mammography screening in Nigeria – a critical comparison to other countries
Lawal, O, Murphy, FJ ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6147-7564, Hogg, P ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6506-0827 and Nightingale, JM 2015, 'Mammography screening in Nigeria – a critical comparison to other countries' , Radiography, 21 (4) , pp. 348-351.
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2015.03.015
Breast cancer is a leading cause of death among women, and according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) there will be a significant increase in the incidence of breast cancer in developing countries such as Nigeria by 2030. However, mammography screening can significantly reduce the mortality and morbidity of women as a result of breast cancer. Therefore, the aim of this review is to evaluate the mammography screening program in Nigeria, compare it with four developed countries and then draw inferences. The Nigerian screening program was evaluated using the following factors: - mode of invitation, frequency of screening, age of the participants, image projections, imaging staff, quality assurance program, and availability. Similarities exist between Nigeria and four developed countries (the United States of America, United Kingdom, Australia and Canada), for instance trained Radiographers do the imaging and the image projections obtained are the same. However, important differences exist, these include mode of invitation, financial model, quality assurance program and availability. On comparison with the four developed countries, various issues have been identified within the Nigerian breast screening programmes. No one simple solution can be offered to address these as the challenges are multi-factorial.

Plastic Surgery Center Internationale provides cosmetic surgery for residents of Montclair, NJ.
Gravity, time and sunlight take their toll on everyone's face. A facelift is a surgical procedure intended to tighten the skin of the face. The procedure removes wrinkles and excess skin and restores the face to a more youthful appearance.
The surgeons at Plastic Surgery Center Internationale make tiny incisions in the face and use endoscopic instruments to tighten the skin. If necessary, the underlying tissues can also be tightened. Sometimes fat deposits are removed as well. If needed, the skin of the jawline and neck can be tightened also.
Most patients are able to return home the same day of the procedure. Antibiotics and medications will be prescribed, to help manage pain. The minimally invasive procedure produces very little swelling, allowing patients to return to regular activities within a day or two.
Plastic Surgery Center Internationale offers minimally invasive facelifts to residents of Montclair, NJ. Our skilled surgeons use state-of-the-art techniques, such as pain-free facelifts without the use of general anesthesia to allow for safer surgeries and faster recovery times.

Gunners in for Dzeko
November 15, 2013 deke
Arsenal are considering a move for Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko, according to the Express.
Arsene Wenger is on the lookout for a new striker to bring in further cover for first choice forward Olivier Giroud, with Real Madrid's Karim Benzema and Fernando Llorente of Juventus also linked with a move to the Emirates.
Former Chelsea forward Salomon Kalou is also reportedly a target for the North London club, as is Manchester United's Javier Hernandez, who like Dzeko is keen to play more regularly.
However Dzeko, who is said to be frustrated at his lack of game time under Manuel Pellegrini may be a more vialbe option with him already plying his trade in the English top flight.
The Bosnian has scored three league goals this season in just seven appearances – three of which have come as a substitute.
Meanwhile, the Daily Star have said that the Gunners are also eyeing a bid for Dzeko's international teammate Edin Visca.
The 23 year old, who currently plays in Turkey for Istanbul BB, has four goals in twelve league games this season, and is in line to win his fourth cap for Bosnia against Argentina in the early hours of Tuesday morning (UK time).
