This is Masdar City - The World's First Carbon-Neutral, Zero-Waste City
MASDAR CITY IS AN EMERGING GLOBAL HUB FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY AND CLEAN TECHNOLOGIES THAT POSITION COMPANIES LOCATED HERE AT THE HEART OF THIS GLOBAL INDUSTRY. A PLACE WHERE BUSINESSES CAN THRIVE AND INNOVATION CAN FLOURISH, MASDAR CITY IS A MODERN ARABIAN CITY THAT, LIKE ITS FORERUNNERS, IS IN TUNE WITH ITS SURROUNDINGS. AS SUCH, IT IS A MODEL FOR SUSTAINABLE URBAN DEVELOPMENT REGIONALLY AND GLOBALLY, SEEKING TO BE A COMMERCIALLY VIABLE DEVELOPMENT THAT DELIVERS THE HIGHEST QUALITY LIVING AND WORKING ENVIRONMENT WITH THE LOWEST POSSIBLE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT.
"Masdar City diverted up to 96% of construction waste from landfill and using it in the build of the city."
— thefuturebuild.com —
Masdar City combines state-of-the-art technologies with the planning principals of traditional Arab settlements to create a desert community that aims to be carbon neutral and zero waste. The 640-hectare project is a key component of the Masdar Initiative, established by the government of Abu Dhabi to advance the development of renewable energy and clean-technology solutions for a life beyond oil. The city will become a centre for the advancement of new ideas for energy production, with the ambition of attracting the highest levels of expertise. Knowledge gained here has already aided the development of Abu Dhabi's 'Estidama' rating system for sustainable building.
A mixed-use, low-rise, high-density development, Masdar City includes the headquarters for the International Renewable Energy Agency and the recently completed Masdar Institute. Strategically located for Abu Dhabi's transport infrastructure, Masdar is linked to neighbouring communities and the international airport by existing road and rail routes. The city itself will be the first modern community in the world to operate without fossil-fuelled vehicles at street level. With a maximum distance of 200 metres to the nearest rapid transport links and amenities, the city is designed to encourage walking, while its shaded streets and courtyards offer an attractive pedestrian environment, sheltered from climatic extremes. The land surrounding the city will contain wind and photovoltaic farms, research fields and plantations, allowing the community to be entirely energy self-sufficient.
The development is divided into two sectors, bridged by a linear park, and is being constructed in phases, beginning with the larger sector. The masterplan is designed to be highly flexible, to allow it to benefit from emergent technologies and to respond to lessons learnt during the implementation of the initial phases. Expansion has been anticipated from the outset, allowing for growth while avoiding the sprawl that besets so many cities. While, Masdar's design represents a specific response to its location and climate, the underlying principles are applicable anywhere the world. In that sense it offers a blueprint for the sustainable city of the future.

Masdar Headquarters: Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
was designed as the world's first mixed-use, positive-energy building, using sustainable design strategies and systems to produce more energy than it consumes. See Project Overview (PDF)
Watch Erin Burnett
takes us to Masdar City, a green oasis in the middle of the desert. More from CNN at http://www.cnn.com/
The seven-story, 134,662 square-meter structure (which includes landscaped areas) will accommodate commercial, retail and cultural uses. The building's form, sculpted in response to extensive environmental analysis, adapts the ancient science and aesthetics of Arabic wind towers, screens and other vernacular architecture, which emphasize natural ventilation, sun shading, high thermal mass, courtyards and vegetation.
Masdar HQ's signature architectural feature is a collection of eleven wind cones which provide natural ventilation and cooling (drawing warm air up to roof level, where wind moves it away) and form oasis-like interior courtyards and/or flexible spaces, each with its own theme, at ground level. The cones also provide soft daylighting for the building's interiors.
Other key sustainability design features, systems and strategies include a vast roof canopy, which provides natural shading and incorporates one of the world's largest photovoltaic and solar-panel arrays, which will simultaneously harvest solar energy while solar thermal collectors provide solar cooling. The roof's undulating understructure facilitates the roof pier's structural performance.
High-thermal-mass exterior glass cladding provides solar heat blocking while remaining transparent for views. Thermal technology in the project also includes earth ducts which reduce temperature of outside air and provide underground pedestrian passages that connect public garden space with the proposed mass transit system. And a lush sky garden on roof level creates a microclimate that includes water features and restful community spaces landscaped with indigenous vegetation.
Masdar HQ was designed as the world's greenest mixed-use building, yielding zero carbon emissions and zero waste (both liquid and solid) and a sustainable measure beyond LEED platinum. It was designed to consume 70 percent less water than typical mixed-use buildings of the same size, and be the lowest energy consumer per square meter for a modern Class A office building in a hot/humid climate.
It was also designed to be the first building in history to generate power for its own assembly via one of the world's largest arrays of photovoltaics on its roof canopy, providing shade for workers during construction of the structure's lower levels.

This past weekend was dedicated to getting my first app store submission in order. I was overjoyed that it was accepted on the first review!
Originally made as a learning tool for my son who was always on his iPad, I wanted him to get more multiplication practice for grade 2. I downloaded several apps which were entertaining and gave him practice, but I wanted more. I wanted to see if he was making progress, which questions he was getting wrong the most often, and how long it took him to do a test today vs last week. So, being a programmer, I made my own app for his iPad.
At first, I made the app in Xamarin Forms. This was going to be the quick and easy way to put it together for him to start using it. Also later, if I decided to port it, it would be 95% ready for Android as well as iOS. When I started transitioning the app from "my son's learning tool" to "TimesX", I ran into issues displaying it on ALL iOS devices from the same layout. That's when I decided to leave "forms" and move on to Xamarin iOS. The constraints system implemented by Apple for XCode was made for this, and Xamarin carried that through in it's iOS implementation. A bit of a learning curve but it's second nature now – constraints were a great solution that allows this app to display on every iOS device from an iPhone 4s to an iPad Pro 12″, in both Portrait and Landscape.
If the app makes any money I might make the Android version. The Data model and the assets are all there ready to re-use. Xamarin is great for this and a real joy to develop in.
Xamarin is a powerful development environment for creating apps for multiple platforms, using the same C# code base. The new Xamarin Forms technology will even allow you to use most of your UI code between different mobile platforms. Just have to say I LOVE this technology because I can make Android & iOS apps from the same code, rather than using 2 or 3 other languages.
Onto our app.. This example is meant to be simple and quick, and give you a taste of Xamarin development. We are going to make an app that shows a map, and then zooms into your current location when you click a button.
You can deploy this app to the iOS Simulator or a real iOS device if you have that set up on your Mac already. Oh yeah, you'll need a Mac, otherwise you'd have to do this somewhat differently on a PC using Visual Studio with Xamarin plugins. The app may be too big to deploy using the Xamarin Starter edition on its own. If you try to publish for iOS and get messages about the app size, take the option to start a free trial.
Next, lets give the Map Kit View a hook so we can access it in code. Click on it and set the Name property to "myMap".
In the Solution pane on the left, look for the file Info.plist.
Click on the Value field for this entry and enter a message to prompt the user for location access such as Please allow this app to access your location.
Again, this last section is only for iOS 8, so you would not need to do this for iOS 7.
In 2012 when I was trying to make my game, SlotFriendzy profitable, I felt the need for an Admin tool to analyze the game's usage and performance. I didn't want it to be hosted on the web and decided to build it as a Windows Desktop App. I chose Visual Studio and built it on the .NET 4.5 Framework, along with a MySQL C# Connector I downloaded from the MySQL web site.
For security reasons, I normally would not put a database connector directly in a client-side application, but in this case, the intended audience was very a specific population – me. Designing a Form based app in Visual Studio was easy, and this simple layout made it easy to add commands every time I thought of something I wanted to query on a regular basis.
I named it MookieData because the game belonged to my company, Mookie Games Inc.
In 2011, I joined the team at MindJolt Inc., now SGN. The founders of MySpace had created this game company who's main product was the MindJolt App on Facebook. It's a game portal with thousands of Flash based games, and runs in Facebook as well as a stand-alone site. At one point I believe it had over 13 Million users, and chances are if you play games on Facebook, you've seen it.
To allow the Flash games to communicate with the MindJolt App, they all load another Flash file, which is a bridge to the back end and other non-Flash code. The MindJolt Flash API was my main project for quite some time. It dealt with Ads, tracking, user information, settings, and much more. As the MindJolt stack was constantly being improved, changes to the Flash API were always in need.
I also updated the source code for several of the Flash Games. As new features were introduced in the API , some of the games were modified to take advantage of them. The games you see in the video above are some of the ones I worked on.
Later on, I worked on several other games outside of the Mindjolt app such as Panda Jam, Jewels of the Amazon, Bubble Atlantis, as well several enhancements via the Facebook and PlayerIO APIs.
Some other projects included C# work as well. One was to convert a Flash tracking API swf to a C# DLL for Unity projects. Another was to process user information and statistics data for PlayerIO (now the Yahoo Games Network). The PlayerIO SDK has both an ActionScript and C# API.
Within the Microsoft Office suite of applications is a powerful automation tool. They are called Macros when you look through the menus, but are far more powerful than Macros in other applications. You can customize the macros in the Visual Basic programming language. It gives you deep access into the functionality of MS Office applications.
Over 100 training courses were developed for this platform and automation was key to get the content writers work into the system. The "parser" was a tool I developed to take a MS Word doc with a predefined table structure, fill it in with content, and then produce the data sources for the training course. This rapid conversion process allowed the writers to iterate and customize content freely.
The Script Template is a combination of a Word document template, macros written in VBA ( Visual Basic for Applications ), and forms such as those available in Visual Studio. You can edit macros right from Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or Outlook and have a Microsoft quality IDE.
The automation of Microsoft Office applications is very powerful when combined with a language like Visual Basic.

The individual and household sector accounts for roughly 40 percent of United States energy use and carbon dioxide emissions, yet the laws and policies directed at reductions from this sector often reflect a remarkably simplistic model of behavior. This Essay addresses one of the obstacles to achieving a "behavioral wedge"behavioral wedge of individual and household emissions reductions: the lack of an accessible, brief summary for policymakers of the key findings of behavioral and social science studies on household energy behavior. The Essay does not provide a comprehensive overview of the field, but it discusses many of the leading studies that demonstrate the extent and limits of rational action. These studies can inform lawyers and policymakers who are developing measures to reduce energy use and carbon emissions and can serve as an entry point for more detailed studies of the literature.An effective response to the climate change problem will require substantial reductions in energy demand in addition to new developments in low-carbon energy supplies.1 The individual and household sector presents a major opportunity: the sector accounts for roughly 40Despite this opportunity, recent regulatory and policy efforts are only beginning to direct substantial attention to the individual and household sector. Findings from the social sciences provide valuable insights into how to capitalize on this opportunity, yet policymakers often have little time to develop new polices and are confronted with a barrage of often-conflicting approaches and theories. This Essay addresses the policy-making challenge by distilling the findings from a broad range of fields into several key principles for those developing energy and climate laws and policies. The principles we outline here are a starting point for policymakers working in this area. We attempt to provide insight into which principles are most relevant to law and policy, but instructions as to how to incorporate these principles are beyond the scope of this essay. The principles include only a subset of the insights from the behavioral and social science literature. In many cases, adherence to multiple principles will be necessary to develop the most effective policy design. Policymakers should consult the body of work referenced here, as well as experts in the social sciences to further their understanding of these and other principles. More extensive reviews of this literature and its relevance to energy and climate policy are also available.

I have worn hearing aids for 40 years, and can't say enough good things about these hearing aids. I can hear the television or radio at half volume of what I used to and can hear things from other rooms that I never did before. Speech is more clear and understandable to me even if I'm not looking directly at a person. I even heard a coyote howl for the first time the other night – it was amazing!!
I started going to Mr. Johnson back when he first started the business. Now his daughter and granddaughters run the business and I have to say they still make me feel like part of the family when I come. I know my hearing is in good hands.
I've been coming to Johnson's for years. I know I am getting the best hearing aids out there and their service is great. I know if I ever have a problem that they will stand behind their product and that means a lot to me.
My mom has been a satisfied patient at Johnson's since I can remember, so when I finally decided it was time for me to get hearing aids there was no question about where to go. So far I have been pleased too and it's clear that they truly care about their patients.

Biker Trevor 'slipped away in my arms'
Bikers escort the late Trevor Black from Ian Milne Funeral Parlour on his final journey home
Carmel Robinson
Published: 16:42 Thursday 28 June 2018
A close friend of Trevor Black has spoken of how the Portadown man slipped away in his arms after a motorcycle crash on Sunday.
Trevor, who was killed in a crash on the Coast Road near Larne, was laid to rest today in his native Portadown.
The late Trevor Black
Bill Orr held Trevor (also known as Tommy and Blackie) for about an hour after the crash on Sunday morning.
"He was a real gentleman and would go out of his way to help people," said Mr Orr.
"Tommy loved his work and worked very hard but he lived for his wife Lynn and daughter Kerry. He also enjoyed being with his mates at the weekend for a spin on motorbikes.
"He slipped away in my arms. I'll never get over it.
"Just two minutes before the crash, we were stopped at the traffic lights and he said he loved this coast road because him and Lynn would drive up to Portrush that way
"But he didnt suffer. I held him and talked to him for an hour. I really didn't want to go home without him. He was a great friend, to me and to many."
A Portadown native, Trevor, who was just 55-years-old, was highly regarded and has been described as one of the most decent, hard-working and fun-loving men.
He was held in such high esteem that a large convoy of bikers escorted their friend's remains on his final journey home on Tuesday.
Trevor's brother Robin led the cortege to his home on the Charlestown Road in Portadown.
A funeral service took place today (Thursday) at St Mark's Parish Church, Portadown; with committal following in Kernan Cemetery.

Dear White People , Taylor Swift and Me
When I'm in the Atlanta airport and someone working there calls me "baby," in that sweet, Southern, not-in-a-hurry kind of way, like, "What'll you have to drink, babay?" I feel something stir inside me. It's a feeling of warmth, of belonging.
I'm not from Atlanta, Georgia. Nor have I actually "been" to Atlanta. I've only flown through, and every time someone who works there calls me baby, I just melt. In the hustle and bustle of travel, it's a moment where I truly feel at home... something I rarely feel in any context, especially at an airport.
The idea of home is something I've always struggled with. I don't always know how to answer the question "where are you from." The honest answer would be, "DeBary, Florida," but I know that's not what people are really asking. I look Latina. They want to know more.
I don't even know how to be politically correct about my own identity, to be honest. I never have. I self identify as a Latina country girl. There's not a check box for that on any of the forms I fill out (yet?). I go with it anyway.
I'm a native of Central Florida, in many ways a place in between a more "southern" north (i.e., the Florida Georgia Line, also a band I love) and a largely Spanish-speaking south (i.e., Miami). My heritage, my parents, kind of embody both. One from Puerto Rico, one from Sanford, Florida.
I grew up in a small town where the only thing that ever made my biracial identity apparent was the difference in food (and language) amongst family holiday get-togethers, and that one time in high school a kid at my own lunch table called me a "spic" in jest (I didn't even know what it meant or that it was derogatory until I saw the shame on his face when he mistook my confusion for offense).
The thing I'm most embarrassed about is my quiet sense of accomplishment that my friends felt I was "basically white." Was this said, or implied? I can't remember. I never thought about race as a teenager, never knew about power and privilege or systems of oppression aside from history homework. I feel disgusted when I think about all the ways I was privileged myself, how easy it is to "not know" about race or power or privilege when you don't have to live the brunt of it every day. And thus, somehow, despite my naiveté, I knew being grouped with the white people was a privilege. That terrifies me.
When I started at a community college, it was the first time I became really close friends with a much greater diversity of people. They too were into academics and wanted to do more with their life. We bonded, and my groupings of friends were more diverse than ever before. I started to feel at home.
But, as happens in community college, as soon as you start to feel at home, it's time to go.
I graduated with my AA degree and transferred to a private school with an amazing scholarship. I loved the education, the professors, the old buildings, and the opportunities. But that sense of home I'd just started to gain was gone. Suddenly, I couldn't deeply connect with anyone and I didn't know why.
I couldn't bond with people over Greek life because I couldn't afford it. I didn't live on campus and I hadn't known these people since I was a freshman and my dad wasn't a doctor, lawyer, business owner, or pilot.
People were nice, friendly even. They were kind. But we weren't friends, and that was a first for me.
I felt at home academically, snug in the old buildings, listened to by my incredible professors, challenged by the curriculum, engaged by the extracurriculars. But, "home," that feeling of laughter with friends, talking about random TV and music, relating. I couldn't find that. It may have been there, but for some reason, it eluded me.
After I graduated college, where I learned so much more about the beauties and tragedies of diversity in society, I started to like my weird name that people always mispronounced ("Iza?"). I no longer tired of saying, "It's like "Lisa" but without the 'L.'" I even started to love that people asked "what are you?" Different, somehow, seemed okay, good even.
When my first book was published, the first article written about it was written in Spanish, in the newspaper El Mundo Boston. The paper asked me to speak at their annual networking event and do a book signing. This community was embracing me and I was thrilled.
The event program was in English, but, just as in family holidays on my dad's side, Spanish could be heard all around, scattered like sprinkles in my favorite funfetti cupcakes.
Except I am not a sprinkle; I don't speak Spanish. And while I'd like to tell you, "I finally know I'm enough and it's okay," I still feel a tiny sense of shame when I just had to write/admit that I don't speak this language that people, upon looking at me, assume I should speak. With a name like mine and a face like my father's (in response to the constant comments on our resemblance, he'd jovially say, "Yes, she's like me without the mustache!" -- thanks, Dad) I "should" speak Spanish, right? I've even tried to learn in my adult life, spending over $1,000 on learning materials and programs.
Yo soy terrible.
Language learning has been so much harder than I thought it would be, and it's discouraging when people who grew up being fluent tell me they have forgotten a lot when they stopped using it after moving to the US. What?? I think. I don't even know where I'd use it often. How am I ever going to get this?
I was hoping to talk to my grandma with it, but she died mid-Rosetta Stone.
So at my very first book signing, with beautiful Spanish being spoken all around me, a young girl gave me a dirty look when I admitted I didn't speak Spanish; she then talked to a friend loudly about how weird I was because I was from Florida and didn't speak Spanish, because everyone she knew from Florida spoke Spanish. All I could feel was her disdain for me.
I knew I should just shake it off, but in that moment, I felt inferior.
I was supposed to be speaking up for this community, being a role model. And yet, alas, I didn't even speak Spanish. Maybe I don't really count.
And that brings me to the movie Dear White People. This movie was the first time I'd ever seen a character struggle with the subtleties of navigating multiple races, especially on a college campus. It was the first time I'd ever seen such a visual of what it feels like to not totally feel like you are part of a "group." It was the first time someone else showed me what it feels like to sometimes feel like an impostor, a chameleon; what it feels like to wonder if you really do have to pick a side.
There's a scene in the movie where one of the main characters, Sam (played by the amazing Tessa Thompson), is "caught" for liking Taylor Swift; "I was so careful," she says about trying to hide her "secret" playlists, making everyone in the movie theater laugh. I laugh too.
And I feel relieved. Overjoyed. I jump up, popcorn flying, and shout, "Me too!! I have every album and song she's ever done and I've liked her from the first time I heard 'Tim McGraw' on country radio!! Let's be best friends and go on the 1989 concert together!!"
But thankfully, I'm still in my movie theater seat. This only happens in my head. But it's just as dramatic.
I feel recognized. I feel less alone. I feel whole.
The night before I saw Dear White People, I'd watched a special where Oprah interviewed Tyler Perry at his home. In response to critics he explained the pressure and problem of being the "only" in any world, of being the exception, the trailblazer. He's just telling his stories, he explains, he's writing what he knows, and he can't know or embody the stories of everyone. In the interview, he expressed the need for more storytellers.
Dear White People is what happens when we have more diversity in any place of power -- entertainment being a very influential one. There is no way Dear White People could have affected me so powerfully if Justin Simien, its writer, producer, and director, wasn't writing from a place of real experience. He knows this story. I'm guessing, on some level, he's lived it. And to me, Dear White People is exactly what Tyler Perry was talking about. More storytellers. More stories. More representation of both the beauty and the tension of diversity that we see (or choose not to see) every day. There are still so many stories that need to be told.
Most people think their story is boring, or paradoxically both equal parts weird and common. You may be right that your story is both weird and common, but I promise you, common is not boring. We're dying for common, shared, communicated experience. We want to be unique, sure, but I think we long more to not feel alone.
Tell your story. Give someone permission to feel whole, to feel like they belong, if only for a moment.
Your story matters.
And if you don't see anyone with your story doing what you want to do, no one who likes what you like or looks like you look or speaks like you speak, don't let that discourage you. Instead let it serve as a call to action -- if you don't feel you're represented, it may just mean we need your voice all the more urgently.
I can honestly say I've wanted to write an article like this for a long, long time. I was always too scared. Justin Simien gave me courage. You never know who might need your story, who might be inspired by it.
Because somewhere there is someone like you sitting in a proverbial darkened movie theater; a young woman wishing she could see herself represented; a young man wondering if there's really a place for him.
And while I hope you set out to do big things, because you can, know that a "big thing" can also be genuinely smiling at someone at an airport and making them feel noticed, loved even.
No matter how you identify yourself or where you happen to find yourself on the spectrum of power and privilege, think about one thing you can do or say or ask today that can make someone feel a little bit less alone, and a little bit more at home. If you're stumped, start by asking someone this question, "tell me your story." And then, here's the crucial part: really listen.

We departed on the troop ship, the 'Victory', out of New York with a convoy across the north Atlantic on the 8th of October 1943. The convoy was about fifty troop ships and navy ships for escorts. A lot of erman subs were around.We were 13 days going across the sea of the North Atlantic, and it was cold and rough all the way across. Everything was black out. We were what they called the 'advance troops' before the invasion.
On the 20th of Oct. 1943 we landed on the Clyde river in Scotland and stayed over night and one day. Then we went across the Irish sea , man that was rough. We boarded a train in Belfast and rode to a nice little town called Moneymore Co. Tyrone. Here we set up a medical supply base.
All the time I was in Moneymore we stayed tin huts, about 150 G.I's ( I have heard that they are still standing to this day but are in bad shape) There was a lady a short distance away that we paid to wash our chothes in a little stream in back of her home. I had two old irons that you put on the stove to heat and I'd make money ironing clothes for my buddies.
In Cookstown at a dance hall, my buddy, Tex (from Texas) and I met an Irish fellow by the name of Thomas Crooks . We would go to his house and have tea and bread baked on top of the stove by his mother. Boy the bread was good! She would tell us stories about the Irish and the Americans (haunted bridges,old homes,etc).
Coalisland to Moneymore (walking). The story about the bridge, it seems this Irishman lived on one side of the bridge and worked on the other side. Every night when he went to work (late Shift) the moon was out.
I won't speak..... I'll hit her with a club. So out she came all dressed in white, he spoke, she said nothing and he hit her with the club. Each time he hit her, the bigger she got, and the bigger she got , the faster he would run. Again she vanished into the woods. The man walked 5 extra miles to get to work after that and never crossed that bridge again. This is just one tale she told me. Mrs Crooks would tell me that one of these days you won't get across that bridge.
In Coalisland there were two dance halls, one was the orange and other was the green. The green hall my girl friend would go to and dance and have a good time. If I wanted to dance the night at the orange hall, I'd have to go alone.
A taxi could only go seven miles from its home base. and the last train back to Moneymore was about seven in the evening, the last bus was about seven thirty. If I missed the train or bus, I would call and sometimes they would send a jeep after me, or they would say "get the bus in the morning". If I had to wait until morning, I would sleep next to a rock wall so the noise of cars would wake me up.
The girl that I was going with at that time was Katheen Cooney , and she came from a hard working family. She was sixteen and I was nineteen Kathleen had two sisters, Rita and Josephine and a brother name Joe. Rita had a boy friend by the name of Jim who worked in a brickyard in CoaIsland. We had some nice times together.
name from then on. The church is St. Mary's and Joseph's church.
I have found out since that Kathleen was married and had two boys. She and her husband have passed on.
She was buried in the cemetery in front of the church that we went to.
There was this castle the U.S. Army rented from the Irish government and it had 52 rooms in it. They needed it to house some of the troops. They said that there was one room that we couldn't use. After the Irish government left, the Army decided to use that room and they put three men in it for sleeping. The next morning the three men were insane and had be taken away. This story I used to tell to my late wife and she would say to me "you're as nutty as the story is".
'Moonlight in Mayo'. I would like to have the words to it. (I can't sing, I just like the song).
About myself, not much to talk about. I spent 42 years making eye glasses, got married and had three boys.
My youngest is 44 years old. My Better half passed away back in '88.
To me Co. Tyrone is a very pretty country and I would like to go back again and see the changes.

Pass the Edibles Please
Jan 22nd, 2019

Proposed Amendments to Schedules 3 and 4 of the Cannabis Act and to the Cannabis Regulations
The holiday season brought with it the publication of the proposed amendments to the Federal Cannabis Act (the "Act") as well as proposed amendments to the Cannabis Regulations (the "Regulations"). The proposed amendments which were released on December 22, 2018 will pave the way for the legal sale of edibles, extracts and topicals containing cannabis. It is anticipated that these proposed amendments to the Act and Regulations will permit the sale of such products by October 17, 2019, however the legislation can provide for the legal sale of such products earlier if so declared by Royal Order.
Currently five classes of cannabis are listed in Schedule 4 of the Act, namely (i) dried cannabis, (ii) cannabis oils, (iii) fresh cannabis, (iv) cannabis plants (v) and cannabis plant seeds. The proposed amendments to the Act provide for the establishment of three new classes which could be sold legally by license holders. These are: (i) edible cannabis, (ii) cannabis extracts and (iii) cannabis topicals, namely:
edibles containing cannabis that are intended to be consumed in the same manner as food;
extracts that are produced using extraction processing and methods by synthesizing phytocannabinoids; and
topicals that include cannabis as an ingredient and which are intended to be used on external body surfaces.
Because Canadians may choose ingesting edibles and using topicals as a means to indulge their cannabis craving as opposed to smoking or vaping the product, the proposed regulations include restrictions regarding the production, distribution and storage of cannabis in order to ensure its quality,i.e. good production practices.
In fact, these practices are similar to those already provided in the Safe Food for Canadians Act which target the cleanliness of equipment used in producing and handling cannabis, air filtration requirements to prevent odours escaping as well as requiring hand-cleaning and sanitizing stations where cannabis is being produced. In addition, edible cannabis is not permitted on a site where food products are produced, unless the production of cannabis is in another building on the premises.
The proposed amendments to the Regulations do not provide for any major change regarding licensing. As such, processing licenses will still be required in order to manufacture edible cannabis, cannabis extracts and cannabis topicals as well as to package and label these types products for sale to consumers.
Consistent with the Canadian government's health approach to the regulation of cannabis products and the prevention of accidental consumption or overconsumption of edibles, the proposed regulations set out restrictions regarding the format and composition of each product and the inclusion of limits on THC per serving and per package.
The proposed amendments to the Regulations also provide restrictions relating to the content (i.e. permitting only food and food additives to ingredients used in edible cannabis), prohibitions against the use of meat, poultry or fish in edible cannabis (with the exception of dried meat, poultry and fish) and prohibitions against fortifying edible cannabis with vitamins or nutrients. Additionally, cannabis infused alcohols or beers are not permitted.
Finally, the proposed amendments address packaging and labeling for sale at the retail level. It is anticipated that these packaging restrictions will be similar to those which we currently see in the sale of tobacco products. There are also prohibitions against representations regarding health benefits associated with particular cannabis products, edibles or topical cannabis products (i.e. claims that consumption or use supports a healthy diet or lifestyle or causes certain positive health or esthetic results).
Given the proposed legislation is subject to public commentary during a 60-day period following its publication in the Canada Gazette, we anticipate many representations and input will be made to the government over the next few weeks.
If you are intending to be active in this burgeoning industry, it is imperative that the cannabis products you intend to produce or distribute comply with the Act and the Regulations. We encourage you to contact our office in order to discuss these issues with members of our Cannabis Group.
This publication is of a general nature, is as of the date indicated and is not intended to constitute an opinion or legal advice. The facts and circumstances of your particular situation should be specifically identified and addressed before appropriate legal advice may be given.

Today, Japanese developer Poisoft released a Kickstarter campaign for an English version of the action-adventure/simulation/RPG hybrid Order Land, which will be planned for release on Nintendo Switch, PC, and Xbox One. The campaign will run until next month with a planned funding goal of 5 million yen (or a little under $45,000).
From the official press release on Poisoft's website:
"Order Land!" is mixed 3 things which are Simulation, Adventure and RPG together. This is on sale at Nintendo switch and Nintendo 3DS in Japan. By play these modes, you can enjoy the same world from different angles and different standpoint!
"King mode": We would like to say that this mode is "Open world but can not move from the chair". The king you control does not move even a step from the Throne, but you will have impacts on the vast world.
"Hero mode": In "Hero mode", you will control a Hero in "Order Land!" world; you can enjoy traveling as much as you want. Of course, you can manipulate the original Heroes you created.
"Training mode": In the "Training mode", you can create a youth character who want to be a hero. You can travel the vast world with unique friends for becoming a true hero. The hero you created could be appeared in "King mode" or "Hero mode."
"Others": There is an online mode in which you can upload your own heroes, and download the heroes who made other players, and you could fight them in the Colosseum.
From the looks of it, it seems that King Mode follows something along the lines of Little King's Story or Final Fantasy: My Life as a King, which could make for some pretty entertaining simulation gameplay. There are many different tiers of Kickstarter rewards, from a download code of a Switch, PC, or Xbox One version of the game at around $9 (1,000 yen), to designing a "new Devil King" at around $9000 (1,000,000 yen). Of note is a Japanese Nintendo 3DS pre-loaded with all of Poisoft's games and themes for the handheld at around $445 (50,000 yen).
If funded, the English version of Order Land will be released on April of next year on Switch, PC, and Xbox One. A PlayStation 4 version is also planned at 6,000,000 yen. The Kickstarter campaign will run from today until November 11. Stay tuned for more news here on Gaming Trend.

It was our 15th wedding anniversary and we were blessed with a trip to Maui. My husband has been in sales for most of his career and he seemed to often win grand trips around our major anniversaries.
We prepared for Maui. We packed and shopped for what we needed. We arranged babysitters. We booked and then boarded the plane for the long trip ahead.
We got to our hotel and the view was absolutely breathtaking. We were actually upgraded to a suite. We headed down to the pool and the sandy beach and that's when I started tapping my fingers. Hmmm. How long will we just lie here? … (Deep breath in, deep breath out)… What is there to do on this island? Are there shops? Are there shows? Are there tours? What historic places can I visit? It took me 3 days to finally wind down enough to just simply be able to sit and relax and take it all in.
We did rent a car and explore the island.
We did go snorkeling. Well, Bill snorkeled while I swam to the boat to watch. I prefer to see fish from a boat and not face to face. When someone shouted that there was a monk seal and everyone and their brother swam toward the seal, I swam toward the boat.
Maui is beautiful, but it's also one of the quiet islands.
You don't find the hype in Maui that you might find on the other islands.
We live in a culture that is always fast paced and on the go. I too have lived that way.
I would even say that at times I've been a slave to busyness.
There is always something that I can do or "need" to do. I've been able to dream up and imagine so many projects for my home, my yard, my family. My mind is constantly creating. There is always a way to improve something or better enjoy something. At least that is how I see it.
When was the last time you had rest? Rest meaning more than a withdrawal from labor or exertion.
When was the last time you set aside time to be tranquil, serene, at peace? We all need this kind of rest and God Himself demonstrated this for us.
I encourage you in this busy world, that doesn't even realize it's a slave to constant busyness, to make time to be at peace and rest.

Even though these tweets are not offensive, they are certainly distasteful considering that the company is taking advantage of a tragic situation where people were killed. People have lost their lives today just by cheering on their loved ones in a race and the cure for that is a bowl of breakfast energy? Sigh.
Most people are also offended by tweets and posts immediately after a crisis that clearly have nothing to do with the tragedy at all. It's so bizarre to see businesses post things during a crisis that signify business is still operating as usual. In times like these, most people want to stop to reflect about the events unfolding. They don't want to be sold to. Sometimes, though, this is usually a clear indication that the business has "auto-scheduled" tweets or posts in advance to make it easier for them to manage their social media marketing. In best practice, it is imperative that any social media manager or company turn off all scheduled posts for the time of the crisis as to not accidentally offend. The chances of a tweet with the ironically wrong wording at that time could almost ruin a brand.
My advice would be to choose your words carefully when posting to social media networks (if at all) after a tragedy. DO NOT use the situation to promote your company or product. Do not make jokes and choose your time wisely. Think before your type and take it as seriously as you would as a respectful individual.


It is easy to listen to writing principles, and agree with them. However, putting them into practise is not as easy. This course is designed specially for those who already know the basics of business writing, have attempted to put them to use and have found the need for more coaching. For those who have learnt the elementary principles of crafting e-mails, memos, reports and proposals, and meeting minutes, this is the course to help you fine-tune your writing for greater finesse.
Structured like a writing clinic, this course encourages you to bring out your writing challenges and gives you practical solutions to overcome them. It will take you through different types of sentence structures, how to use them to convey fine nuances, and bring your professional writing to the next level. You will also learn how to vary sentence lengths to achieve various purposes.
Learn to use various transitions to shape your writing and direct readers to appropriate conclusions. With various forms of business writing out there, master the art of choosing the right words with an extensive word bank and a take-away of how to use it well. Finally, these advanced principles will be brought together so that you can work the various techniques in unison.
Anyone who wants to advance his or her business writing skill to the next level.
Participants are guided through practical steps of the topic with a combination of lectures, exercises for each strategy (some group work, some individual) and sharing with feedback sessions.

Providing care and services to LGBT+ older adults: It's a process and a journey
Rabbi Erica Steelman
A rainbow flag near the entrance to your organization is great, but it's not enough.
To truly be an organization that is sensitive to and provides a spectrum of services to older LGBT+ adults takes a lot of commitment and ongoing work.
Whenever your clientele consists of older adults, you're dealing not only with issues of homophobia, heterosexism, transphobia, and other isms related to identity -- but of ageism.
Unfortunately, ageism exists not only in mainstream society, but even in the LGBT+ world.
If you're really committed to providing person-centered care, then you as a practitioner and an organization need to become inclusive, competent, and affirming of LGBT+ older adults and their families. Keep in mind that just because LGBT+ older adults, and LGBT+ people in your organization, aren't out, doesn't mean they don't exist.
This work takes time and is multifaceted. What you're working against is most people's lack of education, deep-seated internalized prejudice, stigma, and a long history of discrimination and harm by institutions including medical, legal, and religious.
It is understandable that LGBT+ older adults would choose not to disclose their sexual orientation and/or gender identity to service providers because of legitimate concerns of being mistreated or even harmed.
Doing this work, which includes better and open communication between care provider and client for the sake of optimum person-centered care, will also result in a healthier and more responsive organization. And as the Baby Boomers become older adults, many more out and proud, you'll be ready to provide appropriate services for them.
There are several things to do to get started. Acknowledging and affirming that older people have sexuality is an important place to begin.
Then, start having conversations about sexuality and gender, incorporating precise, normalizing language including "sexual orientation," "gender identity," "lesbian," "gay," "bisexual," "transgender," and "cisgender." Talk openly about the existence of older LGBT+ adults. Keep in mind that you might be working with LGBT+ colleagues, or they may have LGBT+ family members – or you, yourself, may be LGBT+, and understand first hand challenges LGBT+ people have had, and continue, to face.
Straight professionals who are aware of and sensitive to LGBT+ issues can play an essential role in providing and affirming a supportive environment for their LGBT+ colleagues and clients. Straight and/or cisgender allies, your support and involvement in this work can make a huge difference.
But individuals can only go so far without the enthusiastic, sincere support from the leadership of any organization. The leadership needs to be clear that it does not tolerate discrimination of sexual and gender minorities in terms of both services provided and employment, and is committed, with time and financial resources, to evolving into an inclusive, affirming, and competent organization.
Another component of this work involves assessing your organization's policies and forms beginning with nondiscrimination policies for staff and clients. Make sure they include the phrases "sexual orientation" and "gender identity." Intake forms should provide opportunities for self-disclosure of sexual orientation, gender identity, sex assigned at birth, name and pronouns used, and relationship history beyond the three options of married, single, or divorced. Inclusive bathroom signage, such as "all-gender bathroom" is important.
Acknowledging and celebrating Pride Month in June and LGBT History Month in October can provide additional opportunities for learning. A task force to assist in these efforts can be helpful.
Finally, doing this work, ideally on an ongoing basis, requires training and education in sexual-orientation and gender-identity with a focus on LGBT+ older adult experiences, needs and concerns for all employees, from the top down. The goal? Open-hearted, healing encounters -- not based on assumptions or judgments – in which meaningful connections and growth can occur.

Kim Kardashian West 'exhausted' by Kanye West's drama
Date: 08/08/2020Author: ojobo victor
UNITED STATES – Kim Kardashian West is "exhausted" with the drama surrounding her husband Kanye West, as the family jet off to the Dominican Republic for their healing vacation.
The 39-year-old reality star has jetted off to the Dominican Republic with her husband Kanye and their children – North, seven, Saint, four, Chicago, two, and Psalm, 14 months – in the hopes of working on their marriage following a string of outbursts from the 'Heartless' rapper.
Kanye has recently claimed he wants to divorce Kim, as well as speaking about wanting to abort their first child when Kim fell pregnant, without asking for Kim's consent to go public with the news.
And now, it has been claimed Kim has taken the family on a private vacation so she can "think clearly" and "focus" on her marriage.
A source said: "[The] focus is on their marriage. They decided to travel together so they can be away in private, [as Kim is] exhausted. Between the kids, work, and dealing with Kanye's bipolar episodes, it's been hard for her to think clearly."
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star is determined to do whatever she can to "save her marriage", and is believed to be unhappy with Kanye's continued commitment to running for President of the United States.
The source added to People magazine: "Kanye has made it clear that he will continue to run for president. Kim is not happy about it, but this isn't her focus. She just wants to do what's best for the kids. And she thinks finding a way to save her marriage is what's best for them."
Insiders had previously claimed Kim has banned any talk of politics on their vacation, and although she isn't happy about Kanye's presidential bid, he is believed to have told her "it's a non-negotiable issue".
Following Kanye's Twitter outbursts – which have also seen him claim Kim is "trying to lock him up" because of bipolar disorder – the 'Bound 2' rapper apologised publicly to his wife.
He wrote: "I would like to apologize to my wife Kim for going public with something that was a private matter. I did not cover her like she has covered me.
"To Kim I want to say I know I hurt you. Please forgive me. Thank you for always being there for me. (sic)"

気になる情報:Osama bin Laden visited Turkey twice

気になる情報です。
By Aristide D. Caratzas
http://www.diktyo21.gr
Osama bin Laden visited Turkey twice, in 1996 and again in 1998,even though he was wanted by Interpol. It is almost certain that Turkish security forces were aware, not only of his arrival and contacts with businessmen and leaders of the officially tolerated fascist Gray Wolf organization, but also of his involvement in training Muslim terrorists in at least four camps in occupied Cyprus. This information has been gathered in an illuminating and detailed article titled "Secret Collaboration between [bin] Laden and the Turks," published today (September 25) in the Athenian newspaper Espresso.
The author of the unsigned Espresso article (himself an authority on Islamic subversion in the Balkans) cites the revelation by private Turkish television channel NTV (program at 3 pm, September 20, 2001). According to the information provided by NTV, bin Laden, flying in his private jet, landed in the airport in Adana on August 28, 1996 and was rushed to Istanbul, where he emained a total of 33 hours. His second visit to Adana and Istanbul followed on February 17, 1998, six months before the bombings of the U.S. embassies in Africa.
Given the context, it is noteworthy that Turkish authorities not only did not arrest the Muslim fugitive, but also provided assistance and facilitation. According to NTV "only the classified records of the aviation authorities in Istanbul noted the arrival of bin Laden's aircraft [in the 'Secret Documents and Circulars File'], and the entry formalities were not noted in the computer." The first visit took place during rule by the Motherland Party, Democratic Left Party, and Democratic Turkey Party coalition.
At first glance it may appear that this information is leaked in order to lessen the impact on the Turkish regime of such revelations. Conceivably it may be argued that the bin Laden contacts took place under a group no longer in power. In fact, the Turkish stratocratic state exercises control through an elaborate security apparatus that is not encumbered by strictures regarding human and civil rights. With this reality in mind, the Espresso article notes that bin Laden not only entered the country unmolested, almost with VIP status, but also met with some of the most distinguished representatives of the Turkish financial elite. In other words, the military cabal that actually rules Turkey clearly must have been aware of the bin Laden links.
Bin Laden's contacts appear to be extensive with the fascist Gray Wolves, a para-state organization that is tolerated, at times supported, and often used by the Turkish regime. (It was Ahmet Ali Agca, a devoted member of this organization, who had attempted to assassinate Pope John Paul II over two decades ago. )
Espresso mentions, based on its own past reports, that the bin Laden organization, Turkish and Turkish-Cypriot Gray Wolves operated since 1992 at least four camps in parts of Cyprus occupied by the Turkish Armed Forces. These were used to train Bosnian Muslims, Albanians and
Chechens, who later were sent fight in the Balkans and the Caucasus. It must be assumed that U.S. and other Western services not only knew (and know) of the existence of these camps, but also must have, at minimum, provided them with cover over time.
In a book by Roland Jacquard just published in France (Au nom de Ben Laden, i.e. In the Name of bin Laden), we are provided with information that confirms some of the Espresso assertions regarding the links between bin Laden and Turkish-occupied Cyprus. Jacquard writes, "[bin] Laden, in order to realize his operations directed to East Europe, used the banks in the Turkish section
[i.e. illegally occupied part] of Cyprus. He secured the cooperation of some businessmen who have close cooperation with the Government in Turkey. They even speak about a person who is the member of the President's family."
It is an ironic and sad fact that U.S. government now must investigate in detail the connections of bin Laden to the Turkish regime. It is hinted that some of these go right to the top in Ankara and of those appointed to rule occupied Cyprus. If Jacquard is referring to Denktash (the "president" of the occupation regime), then an investigation needs to be conducted in Washington itself, where one of his nephews is a fellow at a prestigious and major think tank. Families throughout the Mediterranean and the Middle East are quite extended, as are family loyalties. It is difficult to conceive that the nephew would not have been aware of the uncle's links.
The extent of the Turkish regime's links, and those of the occupation regime in Cyprus, with the bin Laden organization, may explain the recent attacks on the Republic of Cyprus by
some of the regime's Washington advocates. Cyprus admitted to banking relationships with the bin Laden family of Saudi Arabia (which has denounced its errant member). In that it is no
different than the United States, where the bin Laden family actually maintains significant financial holdings. Both countries now are collaborating on many levels.
The Turkish regime, while it appears slavishly accommodating to the demands of the civilized world, in fact is withholding information. Perhaps this is because such information may prove
embarrassing, and may raise important questions about its actual loyalty to the West, given the support it appears to have given to those very forces that attacked the United States on September 11.

Q: Twitter4j: count mentions of a user I need to get a count of how many times a user have been mentioned by others (publicly at least).
While there's no straightforward way to get it for a user from User Class, I decided to use Query and by searching for a username, count the number of results:
Twitter twitter = new TwitterFactory().getInstance();
Query query = new Query("@xxxx");
QueryResult result = twitter.search(query);
System.out.println(result.getCount());

This didn't work as the method QueryResult#getCount() actually returns the limit set at Query (15 by default), which means I'll have to use QueryResult#getTweets() to get the count as such:
result.getTweets().size()

While this works, a few accounts and I'd exhaust my Twitter API quota by reaching the limit.
What could be a possible work around, knowingly mentions are not required, but their count only?

Polaris Air Transport war eine norwegische Charterfluggesellschaft mit Sitz auf dem Flughafen Oslo-Fornebu.

Geschichte
Polaris Air Transport wurde 1965 durch die beiden Piloten Bjarn Bostad und Alf Remseth gegründet, die sich auch aktiv am Flugbetrieb beteiligten. Zunächst wurde im Februar 1965 von British Westpoint Airlines eine Douglas DC-3 gebraucht erworben. Im März kam eine zweite hinzu, und im September und Oktober wurde kurzzeitig eine dritte von Transair Sweden mit schwedischem Kennzeichen gemietet.

Von Juni 1966 bis September 1967 stießen drei Convair CV-240 zur Flotte hinzu, wovon aber eine im Juni 1968 im niederländischen Woensdrecht außer Dienst gestellt wurde. Eine weitere ließ der Vorbesitzer Miami Aviation im Oktober 1968 beschlagnahmen und wieder in die USA zurückbringen.

Im Oktober 1969 stellte Polaris den Flugbetrieb ein. Die letzte Maschine, die CV-240 LN-KAP, wurde am 4. Oktober 1969 durch die ebenfalls norwegische Mey-Air erworben.

Flugziele
Das Unternehmen führte Charterflüge mit Passagieren und Fracht in Norwegen durch. Angeflogene Auslandsziele befanden sich überwiegend in Skandinavien sowie Großbritannien.

Flotte

Flotte bei Betriebseinstellung
Bei ihrer Betriebseinstellung 1969 verfügte Polaris Air Transport noch über ein Flugzeug:
 Convair CV-240 (Luftfahrzeugkennzeichen LN-KAP)

Zuvor eingesetzte Flugzeuge
Im Laufe ihres Bestehens hatte Polaris Air Transport auch diese Luftfahrzeuge eingesetzt:

 Convair CV-240 (LN-KLT, LN-KLU)
 Douglas DC-3 (LN-RTE, LN-RTO, SE-BSN)

Zwischenfälle
Bei Polaris Air Transport ereigneten sich keine Zwischenfälle mit Todesopfern oder Totalschaden an Flugzeugen.
