How Does Hydrogen Gas Work in your Car? If our fuel burned to completion all of the time we'd just get carbon dioxide and water vapour coming out of the exhaust pipe with no smoke, particulates, hydrocarbons or carbon monoxide so t. Here would be no need for diesel particulate filters (DPFs), EGRS or catalytic converters.
But we know these are fitted so why? Combustion of fuel is incomplete and. The amount of fuel energy wasted varies according to the engine conditions such as its speed, temperature, air temperature, humidity and load. O meet emission requirements partially-burned fuel in the exhaust is trapped as carbon soot (in the diesel particulate filter, DPF) or burned by the catalytic converter and that component of fuel energy is just wasted. Deally that energy would be released in the combustion chamber to power the crankshaft.
In the HHO cell, an electric current passes through water to split the water by electrolysis into its components, pure hydrogen and oxygen gases, often referred to now as HHO. To allow electric current to flow easily an electrolyte (potassium hydroxide, KOH) is added to the water. The oxygen and hydrogen gases are fed into the air intake of the engine. Ydrogen diffuses extremely fast and has a very fast flame front (about 3x the speed of fuel air mix) and serves as a combustion accelerant to help the fuel vapour burn more uniformly in the chamber under lean conditions giving improved thermal efficiency.
Some people have likened it to using BBQ lighter fuel to light the coals, it doesn't replace the main fuel it just helps it to burn more uniformly and rapidly. Test reports in the following articles describe the results of HHO tests. Using the engines power to generate the HHO. Examples can be seen from a Google search for Science Direct articles.
They conclude that HHO addition. Results in increased engine thermal efficiency, a reduction in fuel consumption, CO, HC and NO. He exhaust gas is also cooler. The publications reference numerous other HHO test reports and the. Beneficial effect applies to both petrol and diesel engines.
Reduce your fuel cost by up to 30%. The savings will depend on the engine age, condition and driving style. Older engines tend to give the largest gains.
Increases the power and performance in your car. Over time and with increased mileage deposits build up in your engine and power is gradually reduced. Once you switch to supplemental hydrogen, it will reduce deposits, enhance power and the performance of your car. Lower noise and vibrations in the engine.
The engine will sound quieter than before due to higher combustion efficiency. If you have a question please check the FAQs further down this listing before contacting us. The hydrogen gas is generated from water on demand and is. It is also used at. And produced in small quantities only when the engine is running.
Remember this is not a fuel substitute but a means to enhance combustion or your existing fuel, so only small amounts are required. When the engine is off, no hydrogen is produced.

Production of Hydrogen: Up to 1.0 liters per minute (12A). Advantages and Features of HHO-Plus Product s. The small size of our generators allows easy installation in all cars.
The dry cell can also be installed horizontally or vertically allowing greater flexibility for the installation. Despite its performance, the cell size is relatively small in proportion to the quantity of gas produced ensuring optimum operation over time. Our plates are manufactured in 316 L stainless steel, laser cut, with a special chemical and physical treatment developed by our team to extend the operational life of the generator. You will not see brown deposits in our dry cells. The new nylon flanges have been developed solely for our generators.
Good physical resistance and, above all, thermal resistance (melting point 190-350°C) makes nylon the best selection material for these products. As the generator will be installed in the engine compartment, where the temperatures inside in summer can be very high, the thermal resistance of the materials used is very important. This is why we dont use plexi glass or other materials susceptible to warping. We use special elastomers (temperature limits of use: -40 to 200 ° C), with a square section and large contact surface.
Optimal distribution of pressure throughout the sealing surfaces. Bubblers serve two purposes - cleaning the HHO gas and acting as a safety barrier. When HHO gas is produced from a dry cell, some water vapor is produced as well. This water vapor can carry tiny particles of electrolyte which could cause damaging corrosion.
As the HHO bubbles rise up the column of water inside the bubbler they are "filtered" of any electrolyte aerosols. The result is much cleaner HHO gas. In the event of a flashback, the bubbler acts as a safety barrier as the water column will prevent the flame from progressing any further.
What are the fuel savings and advantages using our Hydrogen Technology? Reported savings up to 20% in fuel consumption with some users reporting higher savings with older vehicles.
Hydrogen/oxygen reduces fuel consumption by assisting the carbon based fuel to burn more efficiently. Hydrogen also helps to clean carbon deposits from inside the engine. We employ this property in our high output engine carbon cleaners.
This breaks the laws of thermodynamics. A common argument is that the energy required to produce the HHO by electrolysis is greater than the energy it releases in combustion.
This is certainly true if hydrogen and oxygen were to be burned in isolation but they are mixed with the fuel air mix and their presence exerts a positive effect on the combustion of that mix. Researchers have shown that small amounts of hydrogen facilitate a faster flame front & energy transfer that assist a lean fuel-air mix to burn more efficiently in the. That results in more useful energy being extracted from the main fuel under lean-burn conditions where it is needed, with less residual fuel energy being wasted in the DPF & catalytic converter (those devices only exist because engines waste partially burned fuel).
Than compensates for the parasitic lo. Ad required to make the hydrogen and oxygen. For further reading you will find online some HHO research articles by A. Bari; A Al-Rousan; El-Kassaby; and HHO review articles online which can be used as a source of further references.
"Effect of Hydroxy (HHO) Gas Addition on Performance & Exhaust Emissions in Spark Ignition Engine - A Review" R. IJIRSET Vol 5, Oct 2016. Can HHO improve my vehicles performance? Yes, controlled engine tests carried out by researchers in numerous studies, using oxygen/hydrogen produced by electrolysis have revealed an increase in torque, bhp, reduced fuel consumption and reduced emissions compared to controls.
This has been attributed to enhanced flame propagation caused by the high diffusivity and fast flame speed of hydrogen. Does it work with Diesel and Petrol vehicles?
Yes, it works with diesel and petrol engines but is not recommended for hybrids. Does the hydrogen generator cause any short or long term harm to my engine?
No, the hydrogen generator does not cause any problems to the engines. Although it is a lean burn results in studies. Have shown HHO supplementation results in greater thermal efficiency, with more mechanical energy and an exhaust gas with lower temperatures. What type of routine maintenance is involved?
Filling the water tank with distilled water as needed. Every 1000 km you will need 1 litre of water and add little bit of electrolyte. Every six months, depending on amount of use, it is recommended to drain and flush the system and replace with fresh distilled water and electrolyte.
What is the electrolyte used? The best electrolyte is KOH (Potassium Hydroxide). Very cheap and easy to find.
Some is supplied with our kits. Will the water in the unit freeze in winter? No, if you add about 20-25% of isopropyl alcohol to the reservoir solution to avoid freezing in winter months. What if I dont use Distilled water in my generator? Distilled water is basically pure water. Other types of water like tap water, mineral water, pond water, sea water, etc. Will work in the short term but they will also quickly cause the electrolyte to become muddy due to the minerals and impurities in the water. Mineral deposits will build up on the generator plates and act as an insulator causing Hydrogen gas production to suffer. Can the hydrogen generator explode? The hydrogen production is made on demand. You will have hydrogen only when your car is moving.
Unlike pressurized gas tanks, there is only a small amount of hydrogen pressure in the system. Refer to the safety information before fitting. If I have questions is there any tech support for my Hydrogen Generator? In case of an accident will the Hydrogen Generator blow up? Absolutely not, all you will have is water and electrolyte on the ground.
Can we use the Hydrogen Generator on a power generator? The Generator can be used on any power generator. What is the products life? Is a hybrid fuel system more prone to rust or corrosion? The water vapour formed during combustion exits the exhaust system. Water vapour is a normal constituent of fossil fuel exhaust gases.
Can I use a bigger HHO model in my car? Yes, we offer a range of models in keeping with the ranges of engine sizes but if preferred you can use the next model up. The fuel savings will be not much higher but the life of the generator will increase a lot. For the small price difference between models maybe it is a good investment.
What safety devices are in the kits? We have included in the kit a bubbler and a non-return check valve to prevent any damages if the engine backfires.
The bubbler will also serves as a barrier to traces of electrolyte vapour from the gas being sent into the engine. Can I use any kind of water? It is recommended that you use distilled or de-ionized water. You can use tap water.
If it is a soft water supply, but as with a kettle or iron, limescale deposits may form and reduce the life of the unit. Continuous use of tap water is false economy and should be avoided. How often do I have to check the water level in the tank? Check it about every time you fill your car with a full fuel tank. It is an add-on device that can be easily removed. As a precaution we recommend that check with the supplier of your vehicle before purchasing an HHO unit. My car doesnt have much space under the hood.
Where can I install the HHO System? Many engine compartments have limited space but on closer inspection people generally find there is some place a unit can be installed. Our Hydrogen generator is the smallest on the market, the size of a motorcycle battery.
The best place is in front of the car under the bumper. How much would it cost me to have a mechanic install this?
Installation to your vehicle can be easily done by any good mechanic, or by yourself. Mechanics normally like the idea and respond well once they see the installation instructions.
Installation depends very much on your vehicle and the hourly rate of your mechanic. However we can estimate your installation will take between 1,5 hours up to 3 hours. When do I get my instructions manual?
Does HHO injection work on vehicles with Turbo? HHO works in turbocharged engines. Just make sure to inject the HHO gas before the turbocharger, not after. Do I need any other parts? The kit is supplied with an electrical relay which is connected to the ignition switch circuit but it is easier to install the electrics if a PWM30 or PWM60 current controller (see my other listings) is used.
They link directly to the battery yet still give auto on/off when the engine starts/stops. The relay and its connection to an ignition switch circuit then can then be ignored.
The current to the HHO cell can be controlled by altering the electrolyte concentration but the PWM current control units provide a much more elegant way to provide control at a fixed electrolyte concentration and so are recommended. Please see the PWM30 and PWM60 listings. The PWM60 features inbuilt digital voltmeter and ammeter for ease of use. The PWM30 requires the use of an external digital ammeter (connects across the PWM fuse socket) See the separate listings for full details. HEC or MAF Sensor enhancer option.
Older vehicles without an ECU or OBD diagnostics port or MAF sensor wont need an HEC or a MAF sensor enhancer. However if your vehicle is more recent than 1995 and/or if it has a MAF sensor (between the engine and the air filter) please see the HEC and MAF sensor enhancer listings for a description and explanation.
The amount of hydrogen produced on demand is small but please note the following. Hydrogen is a flammable gas and can form explosive mixtures with oxygen or air.
Hydrogen gas poses an immediate fire and explosive hazard when concentrations exceed 4%. It is much lighter than air and burns with an invisible flame.
Before working on an installed HHO system ensure to extinguish all sources of ignition, naked heat including sparks or flames disconnect the vehicles battery terminals and take precautions to eliminate static electricity. No smoking near the generator or its reservoirs at any time. HHO generators produce HHO gases on demand when the engine is running but when disconnected there will be residual amounts of HHO gases in reservoirs and tubing. Allow units to vent thoroughly outdoors or in a well ventilated area before working on the units or accessories.

Q: block popup webview android studio I am developing an application for my website, since it is responsive with mobile and tablet, I am doing it with only very simple webrowser.
Only my site has Pop-up, when a user clicks on it anywhere in the site opens a new tab with advertisement.
The problem is that in the app, there is no way for the user to close that ad page and return to the normal site. It would have to close and open the app again ..
How do I block these ads in my app, or have it run "in the background".

A: you can block those particular ads by comparing window size in javascript.
You can detect the screen size in Vanilla JS or jQuery. In jQuery you can use height() and width() to get screen size. So you can try this
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
  if($(window).width() > 480){
    // Your code of remove Ads
  }
});

A: You Can go to your webview setting and add this code after :
WebSettings webSettings = myWebView.getSettings();
webSettings.setSupportMultipleWindows(true);

February 19th, 2014 | Posted by Velda in ACUPRES.,MERIDIANS, REFLEX.
Head discomforts of all kinds can be harmonized utilizing finger holds and certain flow patterns from the Jin Shin Jyutsu Self Help Books by Alice Burmeister.
Try these simple methods each time you have a headache: Hold your thumbs including the pad of the thumb, aka Safety Energy Lock 18, left then right for approximately 2 minutes. This will also help you de-stress and relax.
For migraines or any chronic/severe headaches, the trick is to bring energy down to your feet.
Try these steps when you feel an onslaught of discomfort in your head: Sitting or lying down, using your right hand reach towards your right foot and touch the area just below your ankle bone where you feel the 'hollow' area, aka Safety Energy Lock 16, outside the heel. Do the same with the left hand for your left ankle bone area. Hold both until you feel a pulse.
Next with your right hand use all your fingers to touch the base of the thumb. Hold until you feel a pulse or for 5 minutes. Next hold your head where you feel the migraine or pain(s) until you feel a pulse. Finish with the ankle holds again.
Location: (See location on diagram). The Lung 5 acupoint is located on the inside of the elbow at the tendons outer edge in the hollow crease where the elbow is slightly bent.
Technique: Support the elbow in the fingers of the opposite hand and locate the acupoint with the thumb. Apply acupressure perpendicularly and repeat on opposite arm.
Benefits: Using acupressure on Lung 5 clears heat from the lungs, unblocks fluid congestion in lungs, treats coughing, asthma and colds.
Yesterday we looked at treating the chakras with reflexology on the feet which is covered in the book The Reflexology Manual, by Pauline Wills. The author recommends to immediately follow by treating the spinal reflex on the thumbs. The spinal reflex lies on the medial edge of the hand from the base of thumbnail to crease of wrist.
Start the spinal reflex thumb-walking at the base of the thumb nail. The pressure is applied only by the thumb not by any of the supporting fingers. Imagine the thumb is taking tiny steps towards the wrist. There is pressure applied with each step, then pull back without loosing contact. Again take one step forward, press, and pull back.
Start thumb-walking the spinal reflex at the crease of the wrist and move slowly up to the base of the finger nail. This is an amazing treatment for keeping the chakras balanced.
In Pauline Wills book, The Reflexology Manual – An Easy-to-Use Illustrated Guide to the Healing Zones of the Hands and Feet, she describes how to do a reflexology treatment on the feet or hands for the seven major chakras. Today we will look at practicing this treatment on the feet. Please follow the diagram above for each individual chakra location. (Caution, if pregnant, please see qualified reflexologist for treatments).
Before starting reflexology on the chakra points, lets learn more about the pivoting technique you will be using. Position thumb and finger as shown in the photo. Use the outer edge of the thumb, press on the point and slowly and gently pivot on it, keeping your thumb in contact with the foot.
Begin with the right foot. You will start with the crown chakra moving down to the root chakra. Work with the pivoting technique for five to ten seconds on each chakra. The chakras are worked in this order because energy rises from the base chakra. Working from the crown chakra clears the pathway for the energy to rise.
Repeat treatment on left foot.
Tomorrow we will learn about the spinal reflexes treatment on the hands that the author recommends doing following the work done today with the chakra points.
Location: Inside base of big toe, near where it joins the foot in the bend and next to the second toe. This reflex point corresponds to the neck and throat.
Treatment: 1. Gently pull and manipulate one of your big toes. Bend several times slowly.
2. Massage the lower joint with your thumb. At the base of the big toe, walk your thumb across the bend and then continue walking the thumb slowly up the outside of the toe using a firm pressure.
3. Press your index finger or knuckle against the reflex neck point spot (x shows location in photo) for about thirty seconds.
4. Repeat the process on the other foot.
To enhance results you can use a massage oil or lotion that contains essential oils of lavender or clary sage which will help reduce tension.
Lu 1 acupoints, are helpful when wanting to letting go of grief and emotions that are causing pain.
Lu 1 helps with fatigue, irritability and confusion. It is also effective for relieving discomforts related to the lungs: breathing, asthma and coughing.
Location: On your front body, three fingers' width below your collarbone, next to the top of your upper arm bone. These acupoints can be tender and will require gentle pressure when beginning this exercise.
Start: Use your fingertips to press the Letting Go acupoints (Lu 1) at the same time. You can also rub or massage the points with a circular motion. Inhale slowly and deeply as you gradually release your finger pressure, bring your arms outward, lift your chest, and tilt your head back. Hold your breath for a few seconds to assimilate the oxygen. Exhale as your head comes downward and your fingertips return to the Lung 1 acupressure points. Repeat this exercise four or five more times.
Jumper-cabling together the middle toes and middle fingers is a general harmonizer especially for the respiratory and digestive functions. It promotes optimal and healthy production of milk for mothers who are breastfeeding. It also helps release tension and stress from the knees.
To practice this Jin Shin Jyutsu® exercise correctly, as described in The Touch of Healing by Alice Burmeister, please check proper holding positions shown in the above illustration. Always remember to jumper-cable both hands and feet.
• I'm tired. I look haggard.
• My eyes are giving me problems.
• My digestion is giving me problems.
• I have speech problems.
• I have hearing problems.
• I'm always hyper-I can't relax.
• Reduce fear and depression.
• Release blockages that cause bloating, fluid retention, and gas.
• Hold whenever you feel insecure, afraid, or lonely.
• Can affect the functions that revitalize bones and bone marrow.
• Can help babies eliminate discomforts related to teething and drooling.
• Promotes healing of teeth and gums.
• Revitalizes liver, gall bladder, spleen, pancreas, and diaphragm functions.
• Can strengthen back and respiratory system.
Liver 3 (Great Pouring) is an important acupressure point for self-healing. It is a soothing point, calming the mind and relieving spasms. It subdues excess yang or stimulates stagnant energy in the liver, which helps facilitate the relief of migraines, frustration, anger, and the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. It strengthens the liver, besides overcoming the effects of exercise, stress, strain and toxins in the body.
Location: The web between the bones leading to the big toe and second toe (as shown in the pictures). Place the fingers under the foot for support and press into the point with the thumb being careful to apply pressure in the hollow between the bones and the tendons rather than on the tendons.
There may be some tenderness. Rub in small circles and imagine you are spreading chi (energy). Repeat for other foot.

Q: Android asynch static classes? This is kind of several questions in one. Basically I have a tabbed application with three tabs. Each tab will need to access a web service and the wifi API. I want to simplify this by creating two static wrapper classes for all this shared functionality so that all three activities can use the same static classes.
I am fairly unpracticed in android/java so I am looking for a few pointers here.
As an example, here is my Wifi class, it simply registers the listeners and posts scan results to them whenever it receives them. It is up to the subscriber to decide if they want to pay attention to them or not.
public final class WifiManagerActivity extends Activity {

    private static WifiManager _wm;
    private static List<OnWifiRecievedListener> _listeners;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        _wm = (WifiManager)getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
        if (!_wm.isWifiEnabled())
            _wm.setWifiEnabled(true);

        _listeners = new ArrayList<OnWifiRecievedListener>();

        IntentFilter i = new IntentFilter();
        i.addAction(WifiManager.SCAN_RESULTS_AVAILABLE_ACTION);
        registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver() {
            @Override
            public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
                publishResults(_wm.getScanResults());
                _wm.startScan();
            }
        }, i);
        _wm.startScan();
    }

    private static void publishResults(List<ScanResult> results){
        for (int i = 0; i < _listeners.size(); i++)
             _listeners.get(i).onWifiRecieved(results);
    }

    public static void addWifiRecievedListener(OnWifiRecievedListener owrl) {
        if (!_listeners.contains(owrl))
            _listeners.add(owrl);
    }

    public static void removeWifiRecievedListener(OnWifiRecievedListener owrl){
        if (_listeners.contains(owrl))
            _listeners.remove(owrl);
    }
}

Is this valid? Or am I ignorant of the lifecycle of android applications? Any pitfalls in my way?
Also, if the WifiManagerActivity is on a separate thread, how does it handle calling a method that needs to work with variables on another thread? In C# I would use a dispatcher to invoke it, but with java/android??
In summary:
1) Any problems or suggestions with my current plan?
2) How do I call a method from one thread and have it alter variables that belong to another thread?
Thanks!

A: You have number of issues with your approach. Activity objects are usually used to display UI. In your case you may want to implement entire WifiManager as broadcast receiver instead of registering receiver inside activity's onCreate.
Secondly, what are your expected listeners? Are they other activities? I assume that your intention is to change something in UI when wifi state changes. Since only one activity can be active at a time, it does not make much sense.
Overall, I propose two design options:

*

*Use intermediate service if you need to respond to WiFi changes regardless of top level activity.

*

*Register broadcast receiver to watch WiFi state

*Create service that would have following methods. One to respond to WiFi change messages and another one to register callback from top level activity. Possibly extra one to deregister callback.

*In your activity connect to service and register callback Messenger in onResume method. Deregister in onPause.

You will also need to refresh state of activity when it comes to the top.

*

*Just register broadcast receiver once your activity comes to the top of the stack.

A: Sounds like you want that stuff running in a Service rather than an Activity.

Charlie Wilson Performing Live At Center Stage
Charlie Wilson is performing live at Center Stage.
There's a limited number of tickets on Groupon for the Sunday show, in case you can help spread the word – https://www.groupon.com/deals/gl-lnc-charlie-wilson-cleveland-2021
"There's no stopping the whirlwind force that is "Uncle" Charlie Wilson. In addition to enjoying the success of his current single, "Forever Valentine," he is in the studio working on a new album.
Wilson hit the ground running in this new decade when he performed "Earfquake" on the 2020 Grammy Awards with Boyz II Men and 2020 Grammy Award winner, Tyler, The Creator. He celebrated Valentine's Day with a performance of "Forever Valentine" on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" "The Wendy Williams Show" and "Live with Kelly and Ryan."
Within the last three years alone, everyone's favorite uncle added two more No. 1 singles ("Chills," "I'm Blessed") that both went #1 on two different Billboard charts at the same time for the first time, claimed his 13th Grammy nomination, headlined a two-night stand at the Hollywood Bowl, sold out another arena tour and opened on Bruno Mars' 24K Magic World Tour finale. That's not counting a string of diverse cameos on tracks by everyone from Tyler, the Creator, "nephew" Snoop Dogg and Kanye West to hip-hop next-geners Chika, Aminé and Guapdad 4000.
Ask Wilson what keeps pushing him to burn rubber, the lead singer and co-founding member of The Gap Band explains, "I have a very young spirit that likes to play with music. And of course, I have to listen to him. He keeps me connected to the streets and the younger generation of talents who keep calling me to do duets, hooks or verses—which also keeps me in a happy place. And when I'm happy, I like to cut records."
Now Wilson is kicking off the new decade with his latest "happy" project, his new single: "Forever Valentine" (P Music Group/BMG) is currently Top 7 on Billboard's Adult R&B Songs chart. The song had the highest chart debut and scored into the Top 10 after only 3 weeks, two milestones that haven't happened on that respective chart since 2018. Co-written and co-produced by Bruno Mars, the exuberant romantic romp finds Wilson extolling the virtues of year-round love. "One day out the year ain't enough for my baby," he declares as his fresh, effervescent vocals glide across a contemporary, soul-infused track that stays true to Wilson's essence.
"I've been having so much fun with this record," says the R&B/funk pioneer of "Forever Valentine," whose birth took some time owing to the pair's respective jam-packed schedules. "We first performed together at London's Hyde Park Festival in 2018 then we ended up on the road together for his 24K Magic Tour. So, we'd sing every day at lunch time as we further hashed out the song."
Also co-produced by Grammy-winning production team The Stereotypes (Mars' "That's What I Like") and D-Mile, "Forever Valentine" features backing vocals by Mars, Wilson and James Fauntleroy, among others.
As for the secret behind his and Mars' creative combustion, Wilson says it's simple. "Bruno is a firecracker; high energy like me onstage. We talk about that all the time as we have a lot of admiration and respect for each other. It's a beautiful thing when two people have that kind of connection. Nothing but great things can come of that."
Other great things indeed have happened in the three years since Wilson released his latest album and seventh solo project, 2017's In It to Win It. He appears on three standout tracks from Tyler, the Creator's IGOR—a 2020 Grammy winner for Best Rap Album: "Boyfriend," "I Don't Love You Anymore" and "Earfquake" alongside Playboi Carti.
Wilson's other recent guest gigs in the hip-hop realm include Kanye West's "No Mistakes" with Kid Cudi (from West's No. 1 Billboard 200 album Ye), DJDS's "No Pain" with Khalid, Snoop Dogg's "One More Day" (from Snoop's No. 1 gospel album Bible of Love) and Aminé's "Dakota." Wilson closed out last year by lending his versatile chops to tracks from buzzing rap newcomers Guapdad 4000 ("Gucci Pajamas" with Chance the Rapper) and Chika ("Can't Explain It").
Those comprise only a handful of the credits that have shaped Wilson's generation-bridging dual career of over four decades. As lead singer of R&B/funksters the Gap Band, he fronted frequently covered/sampled classics such as "Outstanding," "Yearning for Your Love," "Burn Rubber on Me" and "Early in the Morning." From there, a once-homeless and drug-addicted Wilson completely rewrote his script to craft an equally stellar solo career.
With breakthrough solo album Bridging the Gap paving the way, Wilson scored his first top 5 Billboard Adult R&B single in 2000, "Without You." And he hasn't looked back since. Thus far, he boasts a total of 23 hits on Billboard's Adult R&B Songs airplay chart, stretching back to the No. 2 "Without You." In 2018, he posted his sixth No. 1 on the tally with "Chills," which spent six weeks atop the list.
Concurrently, Wilson notched another chart feat. "I'm Blessed" featuring T.I."— another single from In It to Win It (a No. 7 debut on The Billboard 200) — ascended to the top of the magazine's Hot Gospel Songs chart, where it spent 65 weeks in the top 5. This marked the first time any artist placed two different No. 1 songs on those respective charts at the same time.
Wilson's feats aren't limited to the charts. Last year he earned his 13th Grammy nomination with "Made for Love," a scintillating duet featuring Lalah Hathaway from his last album. Still a perennial top live draw, Wilson headlined sold-out arena tours in 2015 and 2017 plus a two-night stand at the Hollywood in 2018. Later that year, he was handpicked by self-professed super fan Bruno Mars to open seven shows on the latter's 24K Magic World Tour finale.
A BET Lifetime Achievement honoree, Wilson is a New York Times and Washington Post best-selling author as well. His frank, inspirational memoir, I Am Charlie Wilson, delves into the singer's hard-won fight against addiction. Now 25 years sober and counting, Wilson is also a prostate cancer survivor of 11 years.
It's quite a full-circle moment that while acknowledging the 20th anniversary of Bridging the Gap, the young-at-heart Wilson is more focused on pushing full steam ahead into the next decade. Beyond "Forever Valentine" and several upcoming festival dates, Wilson says he doesn't have a timeline yet for his next album. "It's just about keeping a happy vibe now as we work our way back to the top of the leader board."

A low-cost treatment for hepatitis C could be available soon.
As many as 150 million people around the world are infected with chronic hepatitis C – including an estimated 250,000 in Canada.
The illness is considered a "silent killer," since most patients don't realize they have the viral infection until the liver is damaged enough to cause symptoms. Many of these patients go on to develop cirrhosis, liver failure and liver cancer.
For years, treatment was long and risky, and only successful 40 to 80 per cent of the time. But in the last decade, a class of drugs called antivirals (DAAs) has revolutionized treatment. The drugs, have been so expensive, however, that they are out of reach for the vast majority of the world's patients.
Now, DNDi is hoping to change that. It reports that a new DAA, ravidasvir, has shown cure rates of up to 100 per cent in patients with a certain genotype of the virus, when combined with sofosbuvir, another DAA.
DNDi has licensed rights for ravidasvir in low- and middle-income countries from Presidio Pharmaceuticals, the Californian firm that developed the drug.
The group's clinical trials will test the new drug combo in Malaysia and Thailand, where many genotypes circulate. If successful, it could become an affordable "pan-genotypic" way of treating all hep C patients.
Dr. Sherine Helmy, the CEO of Pharco Pharmaceuticals, said her company agreed to supply the drug for just $300 in part because Egypt has one of the highest hep C rates in the world.
"We hope that our collaboration with DNDi to develop a combination treatment that costs $3.50 per day or less – as opposed to $1000 per day for only one pill – will lead to widespread access to safe, effective, and affordable treatment for hepatitis C patients around the world," she said.


My wife and I served in the Peace Corps in Jamaica more than 40 years ago, and this experience has affected the way we think about the world ever since.
After the Peace Corps, I worked as a lawyer for about 11 years in Michigan, and for the past 31 years I have been a professor in the College of Business and Economics at Boise State University – just retiring in May of this year. During my years at Boise State, I have also taught internationally four times through our USAC Studies Abroad program, spending a semester each in Spain (Basque Country), Chile, Italy and China.
Those experiences have reinforced my beliefs about the importance of an understanding and appreciation of different cultures, which I first learned in the Peace Corps.
The United States Peace Corps is a well-known and respected program, now in its 51st year, that places volunteers in sites around the world. Volunteers spend two years or more working in a wide variety of jobs to assist low-income people. There are currently some 7,000 Peace Corps volunteers serving in 76 countries, at the request of the governments of those nations, performing services under the general direction of the host countries. Over the past 50 years more than 200,000 people have served as Peace Corps volunteers, including more than 1,300 from Idaho.
Being knowledgeable about the international nature of business means knowing something about international financial and economic issues and business trends, and employment and management and marketing practices. And it means appreciating and understanding important cultural and social aspects of different regions and nationalities. Speaking the language of another nation is a major added bonus in doing business. Returned Peace Corps volunteers have acquired all of these skills and attributes, and more.
Believe it or not, people all over the world—Asian, African, South American, European or American—care about the health and welfare of their children and parents, desire decent and rewarding jobs, and want to live in peace and harmony. At the same time, people around the world go about their daily life in vastly different ways, and have different views about the relationship of work and family, and the role of government and religion in their lives, as well as the duties of an individual toward the larger society and community, and expectations about the future.
Understanding these differences in values, beliefs and expectations affects every business enterprise that expects to operate in a global environment. There is no better way to appreciate these differences than living for several years at a local level in a foreign country – and that is what Peace Corps volunteers have done. Volunteers undertake a "regular" job in each country – perhaps working in a public health clinic, teaching in a community school, working to train preschool teachers at a "basic school," or assisting a group of fishermen or farmers or small businesses in achieving more effective operating practices. Volunteers live like locals (often with a local family – not in a fancy "western" neighborhood), are trained to speak the language of the country where they are located, interact with local people in that language, and conduct their daily lives in accordance with the culture and principles of their location.
Thousands of Peace Corps volunteers have gone into a variety of jobs with private businesses as well as governmental and nongovernmental agencies upon their return to the U.S. They have found that the understanding of different languages, cultures and values gained in the Peace Corps has given them a great advantage when they are asked to assist in "global" enterprises. Instead of just saying "well, that's how we do it in the United States," the returned volunteers are able to adapt the best practices of U.S. firms to the different conditions, expectations and mores of the country in which they are operating.
The Peace Corps experience not only allowed them to help improve the lives of low-income people in a foreign nation, but it also gave them the understanding and tools to be a more effective businessperson upon their return to the United States – a double benefit.
Michael Bixby retired this year after 31 years as a professor in the College of Business and Economics at Boise State University.

Katherine (oder Catherine) Wilmot (* ca. 1773 in Drogheda, County Louth; † 28. März 1824 in Paris) war eine irische Reisende und Tagebuchschreiberin.

Leben
Catherine Wilmot wurde als älteste Tochter von sechs Töchtern und drei Söhnen von Edward Wilmot und Martha Wilmot (geborene Moore) geboren. Ihr Vater war Hafeninspektor in Drogheda, nachdem er zuvor als Hauptmann in einem Infanterieregiment gedient hatte. 1775 wurde er auf einen ähnlichen Posten im County Cork versetzt, wo Wilmot aufwuchs. Die Familie ließ sich in Glanmire nieder, in der Nähe des Familiensitzes des Earl Mount Cashell.

Wilmot war befreundet mit Margaret King, der Lady Mount Cashell und sie wurde eingeladen, Stephen Moore, 2. Earl Mount Cashell und seine Frau auf einer großen Reise durch den Kontinent zu begleiten. Ihre Briefe aus dieser Zeit sind überliefert, von November 1801 bis Oktober 1802 aus Frankreich und bis Juli 1803 aus Italien. Die Mount Cashells beherbergten sie ausgiebig, vor allem während der ersten neun Monate in Paris, und durch sie lernte sie Napoleon Bonaparte kennen und schloss Freundschaft mit der österreichischen Malerin Angelika Kaufmann. Sie lernte auch den französischen Diplomaten und Politiker Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord und den irischen Republikaner Robert Emmet flüchtig kennen. Sie berichtete von ihrer Begegnung in Rom mit dem exzentrischen Bischof Frederick Hervey, 4. Earl of Bristol und ihrer Audienz bei Papst Pius VII. Wilmot kehrte im Oktober 1803 von Italien über Deutschland und Dänemark nach London zurück, nachdem England und Frankreich die Feindseligkeiten wieder aufgenommen hatten.

Anschließend reiste Wilmot nach Russland, um ihre Schwester Martha nach Hause zu holen, und verbrachte dort zwei Jahre. Martha war im Land als Favoritin von Fürstin Daschkowa, einer der Schlüsselfiguren der russischen Aufklärung und engen Freundin Katharinas der Großen. Martha lebte auf dem Landgut der Fürstin an der Oka, etwa 100 km von Moskau entfernt. Wilmot kam am 4. August 1805 an, nachdem sie am 5. Juni von Cork aus aufgebrochen war. Wilmots Schriften aus dieser Zeit dokumentieren den Reichtum der russischen Aristokratie und ihre Haltung gegenüber den untergeordneten Klassen (den Leibeigenen). Die Schwestern lernten die Bräuche der russischen Elite sowie die Feste und religiösen Riten der Landbevölkerung kennen. Wilmot verließ Moskau am 4. Juli 1807, eine Kombination aus Passproblemen, Kriegen und Stürmen auf See führte zu Verzögerungen, so dass sie Yarmouth erst am 7. September 1807 erreichte und im Oktober 1807 nach Irland zurückkehrte.

Wilmot zog nach Frankreich, nach Moulins, um in einem wärmeren und trockeneren Klima als in Irland zu leben. Ihr Gesundheitszustand verschlechterte sich als sie nach Paris zog, und sie starb dort am 28. März 1824.

Wilmot hatte Marthas Abschrift der Memoiren der Fürstin Daschkowa mitgenommen, als sie Russland verließ. Diese wurden 1840 von Martha Wilmot veröffentlicht, da sie das Originalmanuskript vor ihrer Abreise aus Russland im Jahr 1808 verbrannt hatte.

Wilmots Briefe wurden ein Jahrhundert später veröffentlicht und als einzigartiges Porträt der napoleonischen Zeit beschrieben. Sie beschreiben das gesellschaftliche Leben sowie die Erfahrungen, die man auf Reisen mit Kutschen und Schiffen in dieser Zeit machte. Die Familie fertigte Abschriften der Briefe an; die Martha gehörende Sammlung wurde von der Historikerin und Schriftstellerin Elisabeth van Dedem Lecky der Bibliothek der Royal Irish Academy geschenkt. Unter diesen russischen Briefen befinden sich auch einige von Eleanor Cavanagh, die das Leben der Bediensteten beschrieb. Die Tagebücher von Wilmot wurden 1920 von Thomas Sadleir und später von Harford Montgomery Hyde und der Marchioness of Londonderry veröffentlicht.

Women's Sexual Fulfilment by Mahasatvaa Ananda Sarita
written by Mahasatvaa Ananda Sarita November 5, 2012
Even though it appears that adults are knowledgeable about sex, sexual anatomy and sexual functioning. In my experience of having worked with thousands of people, the important subject of sexual relations remains under an obscure cloud of confusion in the minds of many.
Too often, a woman tries to force her sexual response to become like a man. This happens because both men and women are unaware of their opposite and yet complimentary natures in regards to sex.
The woman has three areas in her genital region, which are important for sexual orgasm to take place, the clitoris (and clitoral network inside her body), a nerve in the sacrum (which is the trigger for orgasm), and the vagina, (where contractions of orgasm take place.)
Generally, a woman will become aroused firstly through touching, caressing, kissing or holding her entire body in deep loving embrace. She needs to experience a quality heart connection before opening up sexually. This slow buildup of arousal may take approximately 20 minutes. The woman has 3—5 thousand nerve endings in her clitoris all devoted to pleasure. These nerves come from erogenous zones all over her body. When she is touched and embraced, these nerves all over the body are activated, and her clitoris simultaneously 'wakes up.'
It is best not to go directly to the clitoris as a way of stimulating a woman. A more teasing approach works much better. Nipples have nerves linked directly with the clitoris, so touching and massaging her breasts is of great importance.
If a lover holds the lower belly of his beloved, and simply remains present with her, within a few minutes, she will begin either laughing or crying. This is signal that her second chakra is open. The second chakra of the woman is of tremendous importance for her to open up sexually, as it is from her lower belly that she will be able to discover the phenomenon of multiple orgasms. Emotional fluidity helps a woman to know all the joys of her sexual response, and a man needs to discover how to be comfortable just holding space while the woman moves into emotive waves.
Stroking the outer lips of her Yoni, her inner thighs, slowly and teasingly working your way to her inner lips, and finally encircling her clitoris with wet fingers or tongue, will drive her wild.
When her yoni is copiously wet, and her outer lips, inner lips and clitoris are in erection, then it is time to move into penetrative sexual union. A woman is changeable according to where she is in her monthly cycle, so the approach to her sacred portal may be different each time.
After having one orgasm, a woman's body remains on an orgasmic plateau for at least 20 minutes, ready for more orgasms. If a man has his orgasm before she has enjoyed more orgasms, she may be very frustrated with the sex act. The game ended just as she was getting started!
In ancient Taoist Tantric texts, it is stated that a skilled lover will stimulate the woman at precise points and in particular ways, all over her body as part of the build up for sexual union. He is advised not to move into penetration unless she begs him to, with tears in her eyes because she is so aroused that she cannot wait anymore!
In our culture, of instant coffee and instant everything, we have forgotten the joys of slow food and slow sex. A woman has been designed by existence to savour timeless, intimate and loving sexual union. For women's sexual fulfilment, the art of Tantra is not a luxury. It is a necessity.

More on Sacred Sexuality from Mahasatvaa Ananda Sarita:
Sex, Love, and Spirit by Mahasatvaa Ananda Sarita
Evolution is an integral aspect of each life form. We evolve physically, mentally and spiritually, in ever ascending spirals, moving from order to chaos, and from chaos to a higher level of order, and so on ad infinitum. The chaos factor is necessary, in order for old patterns, which no longer serve us, to break down and dissolve. As we discover how to accept these life changes and learn from them, life becomes ever more rich and inspiring with each new cycle.
Tantra and the Divine Feminine by Mahasatvaa Ananda Sarita
In the last 2000 years or so, women have been considered to be the weaker sex in much of the so-called civilized world. In actual fact, women have simply forgotten how to access their own power, the Divine feminine. In Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, he says:

BB Doradus or BB Dor is a cataclysmic variable, a pre-nova star, thus a close pair binary star system. It is composed of a red dwarf and a white dwarf. Observations of the white dwarf's faint but certain accretion disk are consistent with it being at ~10° inclination (to the line of sight from the Earth).

Its parallax (movement against background stars due to the earth's orbit around the Sun) given by the Gaia space observatory's second data release puts the pair at about 3,000 light years away.

Mazie Hirono on Foreign Policy
Democratic challenger; Representative (HI-2)
Voted YES on supporting democratic institutions in Pakistan.
Congressional Summary:Pakistan Enduring Assistance and Cooperation Enhancement Act (PEACE Act): Authorizes the President to provide assistance for Pakistan to support democratic institutions; economic development; human rights; health care; and public diplomacy.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. IKE SKELTON (D, MO-4): Pakistan is important to the Middle East and our intentions there. Their cooperation, of course, is so very, very important. This legislation gives economic and democratic development assistance to that country.
Rep. HOWARD BERMAN (D, CA-28): We can't allow al Qaeda or any other terrorist group that threatens our national security to operate with impunity in the tribal regions or any other part of Pakistan. Nor can we permit the Pakistani state and its nuclear arsenal to be taken over by the Taliban. To help prevent this nightmare scenario, we need to forge a true strategic partnership with Pakistan and its people, strengthen Pakistan's democrat government, and work to make Pakistan a source of stability in a volatile region.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. ILEANA ROS-LEHTINEN (R, FL-18): This bill focuses on past actions and failures attributed to the Pakistani Government, punishing the new leadership for the sins of its predecessors. While the authors of H.R. 1886 may have sought to empower our Pakistani partners to undertake the formidable task of fighting and winning against violent extremists, it does the opposite. We have gone down this road before. I recall during the Iraq debate, Members sought to prejudge the surge strategy before it could even be implemented. Let us hope that this will not be repeated with respect to Pakistan and Afghanistan. Reference: The PEACE Act; Bill H.R.1886 ; vote number 2009-H333 on Jun 11, 2009
Voted NO on cooperating with India as a nuclear power.
Congressional Summary:US-India Nuclear Cooperation Approval and Nonproliferation Enhancement Act:
Approves the US-India Agreement for Cooperation on Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy.
Declares that it is US policy to prevent the transfer to India of nuclear equipment, materials, or technology from other participating governments in the Nuclear Suppliers Group or from any other source; and
any nuclear power reactor fuel reserve provided to India for use in safeguarded civilian nuclear facilities should be commensurate with reasonable reactor operating requirements.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. HOWARD BERMAN (D, CA-28): Integrating India into a global nonproliferation regime is a positive step. Before anyone gets too sanctimonious about India's nuclear weapons program, we should acknowledge that the five recognized nuclear weapons states have not done nearly enough to fulfill their commitments under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, including making serious reductions in their own arsenals, nor in the case of the US in ratifying the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. BARBARA LEE (D, CA-9): In withholding my approval, I seek not to penalize the people of India but, rather, to affirm the principle of nuclear nonproliferation. Jettisoning adherence to the international nuclear nonproliferation framework that has served the world so well for more than 30 years, as approval of the agreement before us would do, is just simply unwise. It is also reckless.
Approval of this agreement undermines our efforts to dissuade countries like Iran and North Korea from developing nuclear weapons. By approving this agreement, all we are doing is creating incentives for other countries to withdraw from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.

Acknowledge the Armenian Genocide of the early 1900s.
Hirono co-sponsored acknowledging the Armenian Genocide of the early 1900s
WHEREAS the Armenian Genocide was conceived and carried out by the Ottoman Empire from 1915 to 1923, resulting in the deportation of nearly 2,000,000 Armenians, of whom 1,500,000 men, women, and children were killed, and which succeeded in the elimination of more than 2,500-year presence of Armenians in their historic homeland;
WHEREAS, on May 24, 1915, the Allied Powers issued the joint statement of England, France, and Russia that explicitly charged, for the first time ever, another government of committing "a crime against humanity";
WHEREAS, despite the international recognition of the Armenian Genocide, the failure of the domestic and international authorities to punish those responsible for the Armenian Genocide is a reason why similar genocides have recurred and may recur in the future, and that a just resolution will help prevent future genocides:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Senate calls on the President, in the President's annual message commemorating the Armenian Genocide, to accurately characterize the systematic annihilation of 1,500,000 Armenians as genocide and to recall the proud history of US intervention in opposition to the Armenian Genocide.
Sen. DURBIN: The definition of "genocide" is "the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group." Scholars agree that what the Armenian people suffered in 1915 to 1917 fits the definition of genocide. To date, 19 countries and 37 US states recognize the Armenian Genocide. Genocide is wrong. It is evil. It is evil whether its victims are Armenians, Sudanese, Rwandan Tutsis, Cambodians or European Jews. Not to acknowledge genocide for what it is denigrates the memory of its victims. Recognition of genocide is part of the healing process. Official recognition will reaffirm our tradition of protecting the vulnerable and inspire us to not stand by and watch as genocide occurs in our time. Source: Armenian Genocide Resolution (S.RES.106/H.RES.106) 2007-SR106 on Mar 14, 2007
Acknowledge the Armenian Genocide, as official US policy.
Hirono signed Affirmation of US Record on Armenian Genocide
The House of Representatives finds the following:
The Armenian Genocide was conceived and carried out by the Ottoman Empire from 1915 to 1923, resulting in the deportation of nearly 2,000,000 Armenians, of whom 1,500,000 men, women, and children w President Woodrow Wilson concurred and chartered some $116,000,000 from 1915 to 1930 to aid Armenian Genocide survivors, including 132,000 orphans who became foster children of the American people.
[Presidential concurrence has been echoed through Presidents Reagan, Clinton, and Bush].
DECLARATION OF POLICY: Congress calls upon the President:
to ensure that U.S. foreign policy reflects appropriate understanding and sensitivity concerning issues related to human rights, ethnic cleansing, and genocide documented in the U.S. record relating to the Armenian Genocide and the consequences of the failure to realize a just resolution; and
in the President's annual message commemorating the Armenian Genocide to accurately characterize the systematic and deliberate annihilation of 1.5 million Armenians as genocide, and to recall the proud history of U.S. intervention in opposition to the Armenian Genocide.

Afghan laws violate women's human rights on sex & divorce.
Hirono signed Shi'ite Personal Status Law
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION: Expressing the sense of Congress that the Shi'ite Personal Status Law in Afghanistan violates the fundamental human rights of women and should be repealed.
Whereas in March 2009, the Shi'ite Personal Status Law was approved by the parliament of Afghanistan and signed by President Hamid Karzai;
Whereas according to the United Nations, the law legalizes marital rape by mandating that a wife cannot refuse sex to her husband unless she is ill;
Whereas the law also weakens mothers' rights in the event of a divorce and prohibits a woman from leaving her home unless her husband determines it is for a 'legitimate purpose';
Whereas President Barack Obama has called the law 'abhorrent' and stated that 'there are certain basic principles that all nations should uphold, and respect for women and respect for their freedom and integrity is an important principle';
Whereas Afghanistan acceded to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, entered into force September 3, 1981 (CEDAW), which condemns discrimination against women in all its forms and reaffirms the equal rights and responsibilities of men and women during marriage and at its dissolution;
Whereas the provisions in the Shi'ite Personal Status Law that restrict women's rights are diametrically opposed to those goals:
Now, therefore, be it Resolved that Congress--
urges the Government of Afghanistan and President Hamid Karzai to declare the provisions of the Shi'ite Personal Status Law on marital rape and restrictions on women's freedom of movement unconstitutional;
encourages the Government of Afghanistan to solicit information and advice from governmental and women-led nongovernmental organizations to ensure that legislation uphold the equal rights of women.

The Holy Spell: The Blessed Life of CJ Ramone
by Jen Unbe
Jen Unbe
MILF Rev's Rave: OG Widow
Do you remember that feeling you had when you fell in love with music for the first time? It was the physical feeling of magic that seemed like home – that felt like family – where suddenly everything made sense in the world. We have all had those visceral moments, but very few of us get to make a whole career out of that feeling. Even fewer of us get to ride that feeling out alongside one of the most influential rock n roll bands in the world. Enter CJ Ramone who joined his favourite band The Ramones in 1989 – when original bass player Dee Dee Ramone quit – and who continued on to play with the group for 7 years (and 3 studio albums) until their retirement in 1996.
Born Christopher Joseph Ward, CJ Ramone served in the United States Marine Corps until he landed the dream job of playing bass for the Ramones, where he was widely credited with injecting a much needed youthful energy back into the group. Going into his first Ramones audition (the first of many), CJ had no expectations of getting the gig. He just wanted to meet his idols and have a cool story to tell his friends. The audition process was gruelling and CJ credits the focus and drive he had learned in the Marines with helping him to land the gig that would change his life forever. Hearing him talk about his days with The Ramones, who are often cited as the first band to define punk rock music in the late 1970's, we appreciate that CJ never took anything for granted, that he knew how very lucky he was and that every show he played with The Ramones was an absolute gift. 23 years later CJ Ramone continues to proudly carry the legacy that was passed down to him by his idols with a successful solo career of his own. Following the releases of 'Reconquista' (2012), Last Chance to Dance (2014) and American Beauty (2017), CJ Ramone released his fourth solo album 'The Holy Spell' this past May.
'The Holy Spell', whose title refers to the magical feeling that music gives us, is loaded with the requisite high-energy Ramones-esque hooks we expect from a Ramone while still managing to sound uncontrived and new. With this newest album it feels like CJ Ramone is giving the listener a little peak inside his heart as he reminisces about the last 30 years of his musical career. Catchy, solid, straight forward rockers like 'One High, One Low', 'This Town' and 'Stand Up' have come to be expected from CJ Ramone, but this latest studio effort seems a bit more personal and intimate. With fresh sounding cover versions of "Crawling from the Wreckage" (by Dave Edmunds) and 'There Stands the Glass' (by Webb Pierce) CJ pays homage to his musical roots as a child growing up. 'Hands of Mine' is an unexpected and tender country ballad full of hope that reflects on CJ's life as he grew into a father, husband, former Marine and as a touring musician. 'Rock On', the final song on the album is a heartfelt and wistful tribute to punk rock pioneer, long-time friend, collaborator and band mate Steve Soto who passed away suddenly last summer. There is an earnestness and vulnerability that comes through on The Holy Spell which is perhaps magnified by the announcement that this album tour will also be CJ Ramone's last. While CJ still plans to write, record and release music as well as play occasional shows and special events, he is taking a step back from the rigorous touring schedule that he has kept up with for the last few albums.
International Cannabis, Johnny Green, News, News
Germany To Usher In New Era For Cannabis Policy In Europe
The Holy Spell reminds fans that even though life and circumstances will always change, the magic feeling that keeps us all hungry, excited and young at heart is always just a song away. CJ Ramone is finishing off the last few dates of his North American tour this summer with sister punk two-piece, Dog Party. Don't sleep on these shows, you will regret it.

For the 13th year we're walking across Los Angeles -- this time down 6th Street, through Koreatown, and then on to the ocean!
Save the date: Saturday, Nov. 17, 2018 at 9 a.m. -- Meet at Pershing Square!
Make sure you're on the email list! And check back here for more details!
For the 12th Annual Great Los Angeles Walk, we're tackling Beverly Boulevard. From downtown, we'll start off on 1st Street in Little Tokyo (location to be determined soon), and pass by City Hall and the Walt Disney Concert Hall, and continue heading west as 1st turns into Beverly. From there it's an interesting walk through Historic Filipinotown, East Hollywood, Hollywood and West Hollywood. We'll pass by the original Tommy's; CBS Television City (hey, maybe we'll run into James Corden performing in the crosswalk!); the perpetually under construction Beverly Center; Cedars-Sinai; and much more. Beverly ends when it hits Santa Monica Blvd.; from there, we'll hike down the familiar Santa Monica Blvd, to the ocean.
It made sense to finally walk Beverly, even though it doesn't make it all the way to the ocean; we did the same thing in years past with Melrose, Hollywood, Sunset and Santa Monica; it only makes sense to now hit the pavement on Beverly.
Stay tuned for more details! Always check www.greatlawalk.com for updates, and feel free to drop us a line at greatlawalk@mail.com to let us know you're coming! Most importantly: The date for the walk is SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2017 at 9 am. (It's always the Saturday before Thanksgiving -- just remember that!) More details to come! But in the meantime, to get our Great Los Angeles Walk: Beverly Boulevard started, here's one video tour of part of the street.

California-based SG-Biofuels is engineering a new breed of jatropha plants, a nonedible oilseed plant, for use in the Indian biofuel market. The venture is in cooperation with Bharat Petroleum, India's second largest petroleum company, and is intended to help achieve India's 20% renewable energy mandate.
California-based SG Biofuels (SGB) is working with a joint venture of India's second largest petroleum company to develop and deploy elite hybrids of jatropha for use as biodiesel feedstock in India. SGB will be developing the strains for Bharat Renewable Energy Ltd (BREL), a joint venture of Bharat Petroleum.
"Our project with Bharat is aimed at developing high performance hybrid material that is adapted to growing conditions in India," said Brian Brokowski, SGB's vice president of communications. "We will use our genetic library and our genetic material and our variety of hybrids…to work with Bharat to develop, select and test the best performing hybrid varieties." The program will also include the deployment of more than 86,000 acres of the crop.
"With the genetic diversity of their jatropha hybrid material combined with ability to produce large volumes of hybrid seed, SG Biofuels is an ideal partner to work with to successfully develop, validate and scale jatropha as the primary source for biodiesel in India," said BREL CEO M.V. Radhakrishnan.
The government of India developed its National Policy on Biofuels 2009. The policy targets the use of a 20 percent renewable content in transportation fuel and stipulates the use of wastelands to cultivate nonedible oil seed plants. "Given the fact that there is a government requirement to use nonfood feedstock, jatropha is clearly the most preferred source for biodiesel because it is nonfood and it grows on more marginalized land that is not suitable for food production," Brokowski said.
SGB is supplying jatropha seeds to several other clients as well. According to Brokowski, his company has secured orders for more than 250,000 acres of hybrid jatropha seeds to date.
