Two medieval plays about love and sex: presented by Poculi Ludique Societas
Performances: April 25th 8:00pm/ April 26th 8:00pm/ April 27th 2:00pm
Directors Charlotte Steenbrugge (Lancelot of Denmark) and Adam Nashman (Of Winter and Summer) together with PLS Artistic Director Linda Phillips and a lively, talented cast of actors, bring to life two wonderful plays from the Netherlands c. 1400 (translated from Middle Dutch into modern English). Lancelot of Denmark is one of very few surviving medieval European romance plays. It was a very popular play at the time and continued to be performed from the 14th through to the 18th century. Unusually for a medieval (or modern) romance, it features a lovesick anti-hero and a strong female protagonist, with an unexpected plot twist. Of Winter and Summer is part of a widespread and long-lived tradition depicting the battle between the two seasons. It is also a wonderfully funny play in which the two seasons and their ‘gangs’ argue about which is the best time for lovemaking!
In conjunction with the plays, the Centre for Performance Studies in Early Theatre will present a symposium on Saturday April 26 from 11 am to 5 pm in the Robert Gill Theatre: Love, Sex and Romance in Early Drama *
Venue: Robert Gill Theatre, 214 College Street, Toronto (3rd floor, St George St entrance)

I’m going to wait to do any more Running 101 posts until I get my internet back up and running at my house (hopefully today!!) so that I can do lots of good research and give you awesome running information. But if you missed yesterday’s edition, Running 101: Form, go check it out!
Yesterday, we had an illusionist stop by our office. It was so fun! (til my coworkers were telling me how he did everything after he left. Fun suckers) He stretched the quarter below, read my boss’s mind and used his mind to know what card my coworker was holding clear across the room. I love when random stuff like this happens at work.
Last night was also the first bonfire of the summer! I say bonfire, but it was more like a campfire…minus the camping. I’m not a camping girl.
But I do love the mountains soo much and would spend all day in them! I also don’t mind the campfire smell. I just want to go home at night and sleep in my own bed. I don’t think that’s an outrageous request. But look how pretty! I’m so lucky to live here.
We roasted marshmallows (I’m pretty sure it’s a sin to have a campfire and not roast anything)
And we made modified s’mores with cookies. I always forget how messy s’mores are and how difficult they are to eat. We decided last night that they’re really a whole lot more fun to make than to eat. Roasting marshmallows could really be an art form. It takes talent to get it just so!
It was a good time and I’m looking forward to many more fires this summer. (note the boys in the background haha so creepy!)
Have you ever seen an illusionist?
Do you like camping? (we can still be friends if you do. I just won’t be joining you)
Thoughts on s’mores?? What else do you like to roast over a fire?

The grand finale of Summer rolls in accompanied by the cloying heat of long dog day afternoons and the mystical month of August with her steamy, tempestuous nights. These are the times I love to go back up on the river bank, lie myself down in the cooling shade and watch the clouds sail across the sky from beneath the forest’s canopy. The times I enjoy standing barefoot in cool waters, raising my arms to the skies and letting all energy that flows from the earth’s final pregnant months of the growing season seep in and pulse through my veins. Powerful late afternoon thunder storms will soon be rumbling across the landscape as Demeter curses and rages, knowing soon enough Persephone will return to the dark lands. As for me I shall drink them in, the raw natural power filling me with its intoxicating adrenaline as I stand headlong against the wind driven rains and dare the lightning to call me home.I shall, at this point in time wonder if I loved Summer enough. If I danced on her moonlit nights in forests deep, swam freely in her sun warmed waters, laughed with the birdsong rising from the treetops or picked that giant bouquet of Roses thorns be damned. Every Winter I dream of these moments when the days are short and slumbers pall hangs over the growing things. I must check myself now before she’s gone, slow my roll and walk shoeless in her grasses, make a point to greet the midnight hour as her final moon waxes full, cast off my garments and dance in her quicksilver waterfall of light. I must certainly make the time to meander further southward to the point where the land meets the sea, waltz upon the beach, let the waves lap gently at my feet and watch that giant warming orb that gave us all the valiant gift of Summer breach the horizon on a newborn day. If not now when? I care not to be sitting by the fire months from today, dreaming of her heady fragrances, warm soft breezes and roaring storms, allowing the realization to cross my mind that I missed these magic times, that I did not take advantage of all my sweet Summer seasons delight.So on this misty day in newborn August I find it in myself to curse the mechanics of man that separated us from all that was good, pure wild and free. Mechanics that took the magic moments of daylight and darkness, pillaged and broke them to pieces to become the minutes, seconds and hours that we now use to coordinate our lives. Don’t be deceived, time is heartbeat to heartbeat, one breath to the next, love to heartbreak, life to death. Time is what we all make it surrounded by the magic of the seasons. I would dearly love to smash the clocks, tear apart the calendars and use the judgment of the awakening seed, the unfurling leaf, and the moment when the forests adorn themselves in colorful splendor wishing summer farewell to judge the passing of my days. If demons exist, those who set it upon themselves to steal our time must certainly be highly regarded in their wicked realm. I so often dream of eschewing it all, yet I must live in my world.
Summer if I’ve not loved you enough I intend to do so. I shall give you all my heart in your waning days. Like an errant lover I shall kiss the sweet lips of your gentle breezes, embrace the warmth of your retreating sun and make love to your hot sultry nights. I shall cast off the shackles of the mechanics of man, dance among the spirits of the wild and let the heavens decide my fate. When the time comes for our final farewell my spirit shall not have roamed in vain. For the passions in me you have instilled shall give me succor through Winter’s darkest nights as he runs his icy fingers through my hair and tries to win my soul. A cold, chilling lover I shall shun until I dance with you once again in the newly sprung fields and verdant forests of my destiny. Yet on this day I shall forget the goodbyes soon to come and love you with all my being. In these moments Summer, we are one.

The military research industry is booming, and the Spherical Observation Drone developed by the Japanese Defense Ministry is a testament to the innovation occurring every day.
Reaching a maximum speed of 37 miles per hour, this unmanned drone is capable of maneuvering into tight spaces and clandestinely recording designated targets -- evildoers of the world, beware! It may be delicate, but that's because the parts that constitute the Spherical Observation Drone cost only $1,400. But targets won't come close to the 17-inch vehicle; its chassis design gives it the dexterity to hide in small spaces and maintain altitude.
For the past 50 years, the habit was for military technology to be adopted by consumer markets; inventions like the microwave and the Internet were imagined and developed by government researchers. The Japanese Defense Ministry's surveillance drone is an indication that, although private tinkerers are still influential, the public sector accounts for many, if not most, of the products we enjoy.

If you’re a fan of Elvis Presley, you may be curious about the upcoming biographical drama film, Elvis. One question that’s been on many viewers’ minds is whether or not lead actor Austin Butler did his own singing in the movie. Well, the answer is yes! According to Warner Bros., the singing voice heard in the film is actually Austin’s real voice. Director Baz Luhrmann confirmed this in a video posted in June, where he shared a screen test of Austin singing “Trouble.” But that’s not all viewers are curious about – did Austin also do his own dancing in the film? And how accurate is the movie’s portrayal of Elvis’s life? Let’s explore these questions and more.
Unveiling the Truth: Did Austin Butler lend his vocals for the musical numbers in Elvis biopic?
Austin Butler’s portrayal of Elvis Presley in the 2022 biographical drama film “Elvis” has been applauded for its accuracy and authenticity. One of the most frequently asked questions about his performance is whether he did his own singing in the film. The answer is a resounding yes. According to director Baz Luhrmann, the voice we hear in the film is actually Austin’s real singing voice. In fact, Luhrmann even posted a video of Austin’s screen test in 2019, just a few days after his rendition of “Trouble” went viral online.
It’s not hard to see why people would question whether Austin did his own singing. After all, Elvis Presley was a legendary singer with a unique voice that is hard to imitate. However, Austin’s singing skills are impressive and he manages to capture the essence of Elvis’ voice without sounding like a mere copycat.
Overall, it is clear that Austin Butler’s performance in “Elvis” is a testament to his talent and hard work. His ability to sing like Elvis is just one of the many reasons why his portrayal of the rock and roll icon has been so well-received.

Unveiling The Truth About Austin Butler’s Singing In Elvis: Did He Actually Belt Out The Tunes?
Yes, Austin Butler did sing in the Elvis movie. However, it’s important to note that he didn’t sing all the songs. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Butler talked about how he prepared for the role and the importance of nailing the music in the film. Butler expressed that music had always been a private therapy for him, and he took the responsibility of portraying Elvis Presley, including his singing voice, very seriously. While some of the songs were performed by Butler, a few were dubbed over by Elvis’ original recordings. Nevertheless, Butler’s singing in the movie is impressive, and his dedication to perfecting Elvis’s voice is commendable. It’s clear that Butler’s passion for music helped him to embody the character of Elvis on screen.
The Truth about Austin Butler’s Singing in the Elvis Movie: Did He Perform Unchained Melody?
Austin Butler is a multi-talented actor who has been in the limelight for his exceptional portrayal of Elvis Presley in the movie Elvis. One of the most talked-about aspects of his performance in the movie has been his singing. Fans of the king of rock and roll have been curious to know whether Austin Butler did his own singing in the movie. In particular, many have been wondering whether he sang “Unchained Melody,” one of Elvis’ most famous songs.
The answer to this question is both yes and no. In the climactic performance of “Unchained Melody” in the film, Austin Butler as Elvis is shown singing the opening lines of the song. However, as the performance progresses, the real Elvis Presley takes over, and the scene seamlessly transitions to footage of his 1977 concert in Rapid City, South Dakota, where he performed the song.
The decision to blend Austin Butler’s performance with footage of the real Elvis Presley was a stroke of genius by the filmmakers. It not only allowed Butler to showcase his impressive vocal abilities but also paid tribute to the iconic singer who inspired the movie. The result is a powerful and emotional scene that captures the essence of Elvis Presley and his timeless music.
In conclusion, while Austin Butler did sing in the Elvis movie, his performance of “Unchained Melody” was a collaborative effort that also featured the real Elvis Presley. The scene is a testament to the movie’s dedication to authenticity and is sure to be remembered as one of the highlights of Austin Butler’s portrayal of the king of rock and roll.
The uncanny resemblance between Austin Butler and Elvis in voice.
Austin Butler’s portrayal of Elvis Presley in the upcoming biopic has left many fans wondering whether he actually sang like the legendary musician. The answer is yes, Austin Butler did his own singing in the movie, and he sounds remarkably like Elvis. The question is, why does Butler still sound like Elvis even after the movie’s production has ended?
According to Irene Bartlett, Butler’s singing coach on the set of Elvis, his voice is hard to “switch off.” She explained that due to the COVID shutdowns, Butler had been working on his singing all the time. It’s difficult to switch off something you’ve spent so much focus time on, and that’s precisely what happened with Austin Butler.
Butler’s dedication to his craft and the rigorous training he underwent to perfect his singing and dancing skills paid off in the end. He successfully captured the essence of Elvis Presley and brought the legendary musician’s story to life on the big screen.
In conclusion, Austin Butler’s commitment to sounding like Elvis was a result of his hard work and dedication. Thanks to his perseverance, he was able to bring a level of authenticity to his portrayal of the famous musician. The Elvis biopic, therefore, promises to be an exciting and memorable tribute to the King of Rock and Roll.

It’s no secret that Butler is not a trained dancer, and he even admitted to being a “shy wallflower”. However, he still managed to pull off some impressive moves while singing Elvis’ classic songs.
In an interview, Butler mentioned that he worked with a choreographer to learn the dance moves and that it was a challenging process. He also revealed that he had to study Elvis’ performances extensively to capture the essence of his dance style. Despite the challenges, Butler managed to deliver an impressive performance that left fans in awe.
In fact, Butler was so committed to his role that he even taught Jimmy Fallon some of Elvis’ dance moves on The Tonight Show. This demonstrates the level of dedication and hard work that he put into his performance.
Overall, it’s clear that Butler’s hard work and commitment paid off, as he managed to convincingly portray Elvis’ dance style on the big screen. Fans of the King of Rock and Roll will no doubt appreciate Butler’s efforts to do justice to the iconic performer’s legacy.
The Mysterious Transformation of Austin Butler’s Voice
In the lead-up to his portrayal of Elvis Presley in the upcoming biopic, there has been much speculation about whether Austin Butler is up to the task of performing as the King of Rock and Roll. Some have questioned whether he has the necessary voice to pull off such an iconic role. In an interview on the Graham Norton Show, which aired on February 3, 2023, Butler spoke candidly about the challenges he faced while preparing for the role.
One of the biggest obstacles that Butler had to overcome was shedding his own accent and adopting Elvis’s distinctive drawl. Although he admitted that he was still in the process of mastering the accent, he was optimistic that he would get there eventually. However, he also revealed that the strain of singing so many songs in character had taken its toll on his voice. In fact, Butler said that he was concerned that he might have damaged his vocal cords.
The intense pressure of performing as Elvis was evident in one particular scene that required forty takes to get right. The constant repetition took a toll on Butler both physically and mentally. Nevertheless, he was determined to do justice to the role and give it his all. Despite the challenges he faced, Butler remains committed to bringing his best to the film, and fans can be assured that they will get a truly authentic portrayal of Elvis Presley.

The Transformation of Austin Butler’s Face: A Look Into the Change.
The transformation of Austin Butler into Elvis Presley for the upcoming biopic has been one of the most talked-about aspects of the movie. To capture the essence of the legendary musician, the filmmakers used a combination of makeup, prosthetics, and hairstyling to recreate the iconic look of Elvis.
According to the film’s makeup designer, the process of transforming Butler’s face for the movie involved a lot of work. For the ’60s era, Butler wore chin and jaw prosthetics to harden his jawline and make it more pronounced, as Elvis had a distinctive jawline that was a prominent feature of his look. This helped to give Butler’s face a more chiseled appearance, which was necessary to play the older Elvis.
The use of prosthetics and makeup has been a common practice in the film industry to transform actors into different characters. In this case, the transformation of Butler into Elvis was a collaborative effort between the makeup team and the actor himself, who underwent extensive training to embody the mannerisms and movements of the King of Rock and Roll.
Overall, the use of prosthetics in the film was a vital part of the transformation process that helped to create a convincing portrayal of Elvis on the big screen.

“She obviously had a huge buzzy moment in the past month, and I think that’s the type of thing that Fox is looking for.”
Host Brian Stelter brought up CNN’s “flat” ratings and CNN Worldwide president Jeff Zucker bringing in new faces like Jake Tapper and Bill Weir.
“We’ve seen Anthony Bourdain come in, which I think is very interesting,” Walker added, suggesting CNN is shifting to general interest entertainment in many areas. Watch:

Yeni Cami, The New Mosque of Istanbul
Yeni Cami, (often referred to as the New Mosque) is a famous mosque in Istanbul (the largest city in Turkey). Located opposite the Spice Bazar near the Galata Bridge Yeni Cami is a symbol of local culture and religious beliefs. A definitive feature of Istanbul’s skyline Yeni Cami is as popular among tourists as it is with the locals.
Yeni Cami Customs
It is a practice to cover your head with a cloth while entering the mosque. Those who do not have anything to cover, scarves are available. You have to remove your shoes as well. They can be stored in a plastic bags available there.
- Opening Hours: Yeni Camii is open daily from 7am – dusk.
- Entrance: Free. If you wish to donate there is a donations box at the exit
The architect Da’ud Aga, designed the mosque and the construction of the Yeni Cami began in 1597 commissioned by Valide Safiye mother of the then Sultan Mehmet III. Due to several obstacles the construction had to be stopped for several years and later completed by another queen mother in 1663.
Yeni Cami Architecture
Yeni Cami`s beautiful exterior architecture is defined by of 66 domes and semi domes cascading like pyramid and dropping down from a central dome. The mosque’s grand courtyard has an ornamental fountain in the centre, two minarets and the main dome at the centre measures 18 metres in diameter. Majestic and bold the architecture and design as unique as it comes. Hundreds of pigeons perched on the domes adds natural beauty to its architecture .
The mosque interior begins with a square decorated with Iznik tiles of gold, blue and marble. Akin to other Ottoman imperial mosques Yeni Cami has four beautiful pillars on the corners and is held to the ceiling where the main dome stays. Calligraphic plates are fixed there with the names of first four Khalifas or rulers (Abu Bakar, Umar, Uthman and Ali).
Yeni Cami Complex
The Yeni Cami Complex consists of a hospital, primary school, hamam, library and a market. The large market exists today as an Egyptian market also known as “spice Bazaar”. There is a Turbe (mausoleum) which holds the tombs of sultans and many members of the court.
This makes one of the best sights of Istanbul. The fully illuminated Mosque at night is another impressive sight to see.

Why you should stick some savings in your grandchild’s stocking
- On December 21, 2022
- By GrowthInvest Marketing
Grandparents still wondering what to buy their grandchildren for Christmas this year might want to head to their local bank instead of the nearest toy shop. Saving small amounts for young people from an early age can leave them with a tidy nest egg for when they need it.
Riccardo Ostini said that being given a few thousand pounds by his grandparents when he turned 20 was the “best economics lesson” he could have had.
Ostini, now 27 and living in London, said: “They saved a few hundred pounds yearly from when I was born, spending less on things like toys or gifts and saving for the future instead.
“I was grateful that they thought long-term and helped me when I needed it the most.

David McCallum, who played Donald “Ducky” Mallard on NCIS for over two decades, died in New York on Monday morning. He was 90. McCallum recently starred in the final two episodes of NCIS’ 20th season last spring. David McCallum cause of death is a natural causes and he died at New York Presbyterian Hospital. Continue reading and learn more in this article.
Who was David McCallum ?
David Keith McCallum Jr. was a Scottish actor and musician who died on September 25, 2023. In the 1960s, he rose to prominence as secret agent Illya Kuryakin in the television series The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Carter in Colditz and Steel in Sapphire & Steel are two of his other significant television performances. Beginning in 2003, McCallum’s appearance as NCIS medical examiner Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard in the American television series NCIS reawakened his international stardom. McCallum made his cinematic debut in The Great Escape (1963).
McCallum was born in Glasgow, Scotland, the second son of orchestral violinist David McCallum Sr. and cellist Dorothy (née Dorman). His family relocated to London when he was three years old so that his father could conduct the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
Moreover, he was evacuated back to Scotland early in the Second World War, where he stayed with his mother at Gartocharn beside Loch Lomond. McCallum received a scholarship at University College School, a boys’ independent school in Hampstead, London, where he played the oboe after being encouraged by his parents to pursue a career in music.
Also, McCallum began doing boy voices for the BBC radio repertory company in 1946. At the age of 17, he appeared as Oberon in an open-air production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream with the Play and Pageant Union.
However, he enrolled in the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in 1951 and studied acting there for two years. McCallum began his professional acting career in British films and television after graduating from RADA. He made his film debut in Ill Met by Moonlight in 1956, followed by a minor role in The Secret Place in 1957.
David McCallum cause of death.
McCallum died Monday of natural causes at New York Presbyterian Hospital, surrounded by family, CBS stated in a statement.
CBS stated “David was a gifted actor and author, and beloved by many around the world. He led an incredible life, and his legacy will forever live on through his family and the countless hours on film and television that will never go away,”
Co-star Lauren Holly took to X, formerly Twitter, to mourn: “You were the kindest man. Thank you for being you.”
The previously announced 20th anniversary NCIS marathon on Monday night will now include an “in memoriam” card in remembrance of McCallum.

Love & Hip-Hop
Megan Thee Stallion on Love & Hip Hop? It actually could have been a thing.
Ray J and Princess Love's marital problems are coming to the small screen, and they are bringing other couples with them on a new VH1 reality show.
A Love & Hip Hop: Miami reality star is getting accused of pulling the jjg. Former NFL offensive lineman Branden Albert is suing Michelle Pooh for allegedly getting funny with money he invested in her nail salon.
Don’t expect Rashida “Rah” Ali to ever get invited to a Sean “Diddy” Combs event ever again. The former Love & Hip Hop star deemed the “black carpet” at Diddy’s NYE bash as good a place as any to bless her rival, Black Ink Crew‘s Sky, with a proper fade.
When grilled by Hip-Hop Wired at the 2014 BMI R&B & Hip-Hop Awards, Yesi Ortiz was much more subtle about her presence on the upcoming Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood than her co-star, Yung Berg.
If there was ever an artist whose authentic talent was overshadowed by all things struggle, it’s Yung Berg.
After the most recent season of Love & Hip Hop New York, reality television has never struggled so badly. Amina Buddafly discussed her journey of side chick to official wife and more with The Breakfast Club.
While we have Oprah and others doing their best to advance how women are depicted on television, there are still some women holding sisters back from greatness.
The life of a struggle rapper isn’t an easy one. Their laughable bars and the questionable behavior can lead to non-stop ridicule that can cripple a career. Sadly, capable Bronx lyricist Peter Gunz has joined the struggle rapper club with his recent casting on Love & Hip Hop: New York.
If you’re looking to place any leftover blame on Shawty Lo over his All My Babies Mamas reality show, all ill feelings should be directed towards Oxygen, says the rapper. In an interview with Sister 2 Sister magazine, the father or 11 opened up about the controversy.
Mona Scott-Young, producer of VH1’s hit reality television series Love & Hip Hop, has enjoyed success with her shows along with heavy amounts of criticism. Scott-Young spoke with Hip-Hop Wired exclusively last month and addressed the doubters in straightforward fashion. However, she found herself on the defensive once more over the shows after an interview […]
Mona Scott-Young thinks that the argument made against how women of color are portrayed on her shows is a narrow-minded cop out. “When I handed Joseline [Hernandez, of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta] her first check, she cried,” she tells Hip-Hop Wired, “It was the first time she’d ever seen her name printed on a […]


Several media outlets have distorted comments by an EPA official, falsely suggesting that he said "oil companies should be crucified." In fact, the official was using an analogy, which he has since apologized for, to describe a common approach to regulatory enforcement: making examples out of those who break the law.
In the rush to cover the bankruptcy of Solyndra, a solar panel manufacturer that received a loan guarantee from the federal government, many news media outlets have misrepresented or omitted key facts.
From the September 15 edition of CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight:
Loading the player reg...
On Lou Dobbs Tonight, guest host Lisa Sylvester advanced the claim that reconciliation is an "obscure Senate rule" that would be, in Sen. John McCain's words, "a drastic change in the way that the United States Senate does business." In fact, Congress has repeatedly used the budget reconciliation process to enact changes to the nation's health care policy, and Senate Republicans have used or attempted to use reconciliation to pass President Bush's tax cuts, an increase in the Medicare eligibility age, and welfare reform.
Lisa Sylvester advanced the falsehood that Sonia Sotomayor contradicted herself on the question of whether judges should use foreign law in deciding cases.
CNN's Lisa Sylvester did not challenge Tony Blankley's claims on the recovery bill, including that the Congressional Budget Office said the legislation "would actually contract the economy as opposed to doing nothing," and that, according to CBO, "in 2011, they still would not have spent about a third of the money."
CNN's Lisa Sylvester again uncritically reported Republican claims that "people living in the United States illegally might be able to access" health insurance benefits under new legislation extending SCHIP. Lou Dobbs also stated that "opponents say it will make it easier for illegal aliens to receive taxpayer-funded health insurance." But neither Sylvester nor Dobbs noted that the legislation includes a citizenship verification process in which states would use SCHIP applicants' names and Social Security numbers to verify that they are eligible.
On Lou Dobbs Tonight, Lisa Sylvester uncritically reported that "[f]iscal conservatives ... argue" that a cigarette-tax increase in a House bill expanding SCHIP "will not generate enough revenue to pay for the program." However, Sylvester did not note that a CBO cost estimate of the bill found that it would be "fully offset, primarily through an increase in federal tobacco taxes." Sylvester also aired Rep. John Boehner's claim that "no verification system to speak of is contained in the bill" -- without noting that the bill does include a citizenship verification process in which states would use SCHIP applicants' names and Social Security numbers to determine whether they are eligible.
During a report on the DREAM Act, a measure proposed by Sen. Dick Durbin that would have provided permanent resident status to a select group of undocumented immigrants, CNN's Lisa Sylvester reported that the bill's sponsors "held a news conference in the Capitol with illegal alien college students who'd benefit from the program," and that "[o]pponents demanded federal immigration officials detain the illegal aliens." However, several media outlets have reported that the three students featured at the press conference all have temporary legal status.
A day after CNN's Lisa Sylvester cropped Michelle Obama's recent statement about "run[ning] your own house" to suggest that the comments were an attack on Sen. Hillary Clinton, Sylvester again failed to provide the full context of Mrs. Obama's remarks, which shows she was talking about her own family and did not refer generally or specifically to any other candidates.

Céline Dion's 'Power of Love' brings twin boys
Although Céline Dion was hospitalized last week as a preventive measure, her twins still arrived a month ahead of schedule. The boys, whose names have not been announced, join 9-year-old brother Rene Charles.
As with her first son, the 42-year-old Grammy winner had trouble conceiving and has publicly shared her struggles. She's told the Associated Press:
"If I help people through my voice, through my interviews, through what I go through, I do not want to change that at all," she said. "I think it's making a difference."
Perhaps her boys can fight over Matt Damon's new daughter in a couple decades?

Several studies point to the potential benefits of CBD for anxiety. For generalized anxiety, the National Institute on Drug Abuse says that CBD has been shown to reduce stress in animal studies. Study subjects were observed as having lower behavioral signs of anxiety. Their physiological symptoms of anxiety, like increased heart rate, also improved.
The truth is that no one knows precisely what any of these molecules are doing to us. It is a case of finding the effects first and working backwards to understand the mechanisms. “There are a number of possible transmitter systems that CBD could act on,” says McGuire. “And it’s not 100% clear which ones are critical for anxiety, or psychosis or schizophrenia. But [the antipsychotic effect] is a different mechanism from existing treatments, which is a big deal because existing treatments aren’t working.”
He was using an oil from a brand called Pure Kana, and the only thing that I had known about the stuff before I tried it was that it wasn’t supposed to get you high. (In fact, I really think the main reason I willingly tried it was because I knew that my aunt – who works full time and supports three daughters – was using it. I figure if she was into it, then it must be halfway legit).
In terms of recent scientific investigations on the topic, in 2011 a group of researchers conducted a study that revolutionized the thoughts about CBD and anxiety. They took 10 people with social anxiety who had never had any treatment for this disorder and divided them into two groups. One group was given 400mg of CBD and the other a placebo. The results showed that those who had received the CBD oil had successfully improved their anxiety symptoms compared to the placebo.
However, CBD oils and the vast majority of other legal CBD-infused products are usually derived from high-CBD industrial hemp. Extracting CBD from cannabis strains is still widely prohibited. In fact, RQS CBD oil is exclusively sourced from organic EU hemp. The most popular CBD products on the market are CBD oils, CBD topicals, and CBD softgel capsules.
This figure, if accurate, is indeed a substantial number, especially when you take into account the different factors that may be behind this inability to get a decent sleep. If this number is reflective of a population that struggles with getting adequate amounts of sleep, it might suggest a strong need for a remedy that doesn’t mean over-prescribing pharmaceutical sedatives.
The main concern about pharmaceutical drugs is that they only treat the symptoms of insomnia – not the root of the problem. That being said, you need to continuously supply your system with certain doses of a drug. This, in turn, may trigger dangerous side effects, such as strong dependence, unpleasant withdrawal symptoms, inflammation, liver failures, and even rebound insomnia.
Safety: As of current, there’s zero evidence to suggest that cannabidiol is unsafe and/or intolerable. While certain individuals may experience adverse effects from its administration, these adverse effects are not common and may be a result of: poor sourcing, formatting, addition of other unwanted chemicals or cannabinoids, or contamination. Most research indicates CBD is just as safe and well-tolerated as a placebo.
Cannabidiol also works with anxiety by boosting our own endocannabinoid levels, meaning that we can naturally produce more of the things inside of us that put us in a good mood without needing extra things like CBD. Another interesting side effect of CBD with anxiety is that CBD actually boosts our own natural production of endocannabinoids such as anandamide.
Reflecting the next morning, I was most surprised by the fact that I never felt "high" in any way—there was never a moment of It's kicking in; I can feel it now like with pain medications or even anti-anxiety drugs. Considering it takes time, consistency, and the right dosage to experience the full effect, I continued taking the oil once a day for the next six days. Here's what went down.
Cannabis has shown to have positive effects on people suffering from epilepsy and multiple sclerosis. A research conducted in the University College of London, it is also effective in dealing with multiple other neurological conditions like the Dravet syndrome and Parkinson’s disease. It prevents neurodegeneration and cognitive decline, thereby helping those suffering from Alzheimer’s.
Similarly, though CBD oil is technically illegal on the federal level, it is sold freely online and in stores even here in New Jersey. Erica McBride, executive director of the National Hemp Association in Washington, said there have been instances in states where pot hasn't been legalized where CBD oil was confiscated at the post office or people possessing it were arrested, but it's “very rare.”
Scientists have made a lot of progress in understanding how CBD produces its calming, pain-reducing, anti-inflammatory effects in the body—and there’s still more to learn. We know that CBD interacts with many different receptors, proteins, and other chemicals in the brain. These interactions create changes in the activity of neurotransmitters, hormones, and other cells throughout the brain and body. Through these interactions, CBD appears to be able to affect many of the body’s functions, from sleep-wake cycles and emotional regulation to inflammation, pain perception, and seizures.
Furthermore, THC and CBD oils also differ in the nature and effect of their Cannabinoid content. Cannabinoids typically bind to receptor sites located in the brain, called CB-1, and various parts of the human body called CB-2. But different cannabinoids produce different effects depending on which type of receptor they bind to. THC mostly binds to receptors in the brain, but CBD unlocks the receptors scattered throughout the body, making it far more useful for healing properties.
I have idiopathic peripheral neuropathy ... the only thing they found that would work is lyrica. I picked up some CBD oil yesterday morning. I am prescribed to take 75 mg of lyrica 3x per day. I took one yesterday morning and have only used the CBD oil since. I bought the Koi brand, flavored, 250 MG. I used a full dropper yesterday late morning and a full dropper yesterday late afternoon. I used it once today (one full dropper) and I am amazingly pain free.
He leads me through Mindful’s bustling front offices and into its interior corridors. In freezers Mindful stores seeds from all over—Asia, India, North Africa, the Caribbean. A world traveler who’s become something of a Johnny Appleseed for marijuana, Hague is extremely interested in the plant’s historical biodiversity, and his seed bank of rare, wild, and ancient strains is a significant part of Mindful’s intellectual property. “We have to recognize that humans evolved with it practically since the dawn of time,” he says. “It’s older than writing. Cannabis use is part of us, and it always has been. It spread from Central Asia after the last ice age and went out across the planet with man.”
“I just felt good,” he adds. “But I wasn’t high at all.” Joliat’s anecdotal experience with CBD is a common one. Some informal polling suggests a lot of people today are at least vaguely familiar with cannabidiol, and have either used it themselves or know someone who has. But even some people who use it don’t seem to know exactly what it is or whether there’s any hard science out there to back up its benefits.

With no opponent on the schedule this weekend, Charlie Strong says his team will get back to the basics. Fortunately, Strong says the bye week came at a perfect time.
“We’re getting ready to step into the conference and I think just that since we’ve had a long fall camp and now this is the first time they really get a rest, it came at the right time,” Strong said during Monday...

Many folks have been patiently awaiting the launch of California’s commercial hemp program, which has taken nearly 3 years since the passage of Prop 64 to emerge. However, the wait has finally come to an end as the state recently instated a process for industrial hemp registration along with a complete application and set of regulations.
(Picture of DCR building in Los Angeles)
On August 6, 2019, M&L partner J. Raza Lawrence attended the Phase 3 Round 1 Licensing and Social Equity Workshop hosted by the Department of Cannabis Regulation (DCR). The DCR provided an update on Phase 2 applications, the Social Equity Program, and the application process for Phase 3.
Requirements for Phase 3 Application
Undue Concentration and Social Equity Leave Many Angelenos Dazed and Confused
Los Angeles should take steps to promote fairness and reduce the perception of corruption.
The City of LA is moving along with “Phase 3” of its commercial cannabis licensing, the first opportunity for new cannabis businesses to obtain licenses. Verifications from the Department of Cannabis Licensing for Social Equity status, required to apply for one of the upcoming 250 retail storefront licenses, are beginning to roll in. Applicants are seeking to lock down properties in one of the allowed zones and outside 700-foot buffers surrounding schools, parks, existing licensed dispensaries, and other sensitive uses before the September 3 opening of the initial round of 100 dispensary licenses.
While much of the licensing process is straightforward, certain features of LA’s cannabis procedures have left some scratching their heads, and wondering whether the process of awarding the licenses can possibly be fair. One topic causing angst and confusion is the City’s methods for allowing applicants in areas of “undue concentration” to bypass the normal process for obtaining licenses by obtaining special approval from the City Council.
In some parts of LA that have not yet reached “undue concentration,” defined as more than one dispensary per 10,000 people, there is an objective process in place, with clear standards, for applying for and obtaining a cannabis license. But in areas of the City that have already reached undue concentration (including downtown), applicants may obtain a license only by obtaining a finding from the City Council that their existence “would serve public convenience or necessity.” This is done by securing approval from their local councilmember. Without such approval, there is no way to apply for the license. Unfortunately, the City has so far provided no guidance or objective standards as to how anyone is supposed to judge whether a particular proposed dispensary “would serve public convenience or necessity.” It is an inherently vague and ambiguous standard, left totally to the councilmembers’ discretion. Without any transparent regulation in how approvals or denials should be determined, applicants are left out of the process and easily denied the opportunity to a fair and unambiguous chance.
Given the undue concentration rules, some have speculated that councilmembers could threaten to withhold approval of proposed projects unless applicants donated money to funds selected by the councilmember, or could base the approval on any number of any other inappropriate factors. Even if nothing illegal is done, this process will end up favoring large corporations and rich people over small businesses, as the deeper pockets with more capital and access to those in power will take steps to sway City officials in ways that benefit them.
Such a situation could certainly create the appearance of corruption, and is not ideal for a City government already saddled by an FBI investigation. It could also lead to costly litigation from parties who claim to be treated unfairly. In order to address this problem, we would suggest the City drop the entire concept of “undue concentration.” It is difficult to understand why it is inherently bad for dispensaries to be located in areas with other dispensaries. It makes sense that they would be more prevalent downtown, which has many visitors and workers in addition to its residents, or in existing entertainment or shopping districts, or even brand new cannabis-focused districts. The undue concentration laws prevent the most sensible distributions of dispensaries around the City, which would be based on supply and demand, and instead bases the distribution on potentially arbitrary or corrupt decisions of local politicians. Studies have shown that dispensaries increase both safety and property values in a neighborhood. Such new businesses also create jobs and tax revenues. In any event, any concerns regarding over-saturation of licensed dispensaries, to the extent anyone even has such concerns, could be dealt with during the public hearings that are already required for each new dispensary.
Another area that has engendered confusion is the Social Equity program. LA has an ambitious Social Equity program intended to provide special benefits to applicants most likely to have been harmed by the pre-2016 marijuana prohibition. As part of this program, every applicant for one of the next 250 dispensary licenses needs to demonstrate that at least ½ (for Tier 1) or ⅓ (for Tier 2) of it is owned by someone who qualifies as a social equity applicant, based on the right combination of having a prior cannabis arrest or conviction, low-income status, and/or residency for a minimum period in one of certain LA zip codes where the most marijuana arrests have occurred. Beyond this requirement, there is no legal restriction on the relation between investor and social equity applicant,
75 of the first 100 dispensary applications are reserved for applicants owned 51% or more by a Tier 1 social equity applicant, who is required to be both low income (under $45,644 per year) and either (a) have a prior cannabis arrest or conviction, or (b) have lived in specified zip codes with the most cannabis arrests for at least 5 years. Many questions, however, have arisen regarding what it means for the low-income social equity applicant to have the majority equity interest, and how this arrangement will work in practice, given that someone else will have typically invested a lot of money toward startup expenses of the business. The DCR has informed applicants that investors loaning money to a cannabis business for startup expenses may get their loans back with interest before profits are distributed. In addition, dispensaries are allowed to have management agreements whereby the managers of the storefront receive compensation including bonuses based on the performance of the business.
Some have expressed concerns that social equity applicants may end up as mere figureheads, with no substantial financial benefits from the companies, as investors structure contracts so that profits are never distributed to the social equity applicants. This could be done, for example, by entering into a management agreement where the investors are the managers and receive, as performance-based compensation, all of the revenues that exceed the company’s expenses. Under this arrangement, the company would appear to break even every year and never distribute profits, even with large amounts of money distributed to the managers as compensation. Some are also concerned that investors could enter into unpublished “side deals” with social equity applicants, essentially committing a fraud on the City by claiming the social equity applicants are majority owners when in fact they are not. The City’s laws already prevent such arrangements, requiring disclosure of all financial arrangements, but many are concerned regarding whether or how this will be enforced, and whether people trying to follow the law will be able to fairly compete with those who flout the law.
The City could add some minimum standards to the social equity program that would ensure social equity applicants receive tangible benefits, as the program was intended. One workable standard could be a requirement that the social equity applicant either be provided a job at the new business making at least a minimum income (say, $70,000), or if no such job is provided or available, that the social equity applicant is entitled to receive at least a specified portion of revenues before they are distributed to lenders or managers.
We hope the City continues to take steps to ensure everyone is treated fairly, to avoid the appearance of corruption, and to promote the laudable goals of the social equity program. A good start would be to eliminate the ill-advised undue concentration policy, and to publish minimum objective standards for the social equity program so that everyone is playing by the same clear rules.
Individuals interested in Phase 3 Retail and Delivery licensing must submit SEP eligibility verification documents for review by DCR Staff.
Why must I complete the SEP Applicant Eligibility Verification Process?
In order to be eligible to apply in Round 1, Round 2 and the Delivery Pilot in Phase 3, potential social equity applicant must complete this.
When must I do this by?
July 29th, 2019 is the deadline.
Who is eligible to participate in the City’s Social Equity Program?
Individuals who are considered low income ($45,644 or less), have past cannabis arrests and or convictions and those that live in Disproportionately Impacted Areas (districts with the highest cannabis-related arrests) are eligible to participate in the City’s Social Equity Program. (https://cannabis.lacity.org/licensing/social-equity-program). Check to see who qualifies for social equity and priority processing for licensing by taking the quiz linked below.
Please see our quiz on eligibility. (click link)
The City of Los Angeles confirms that there is no maximum number of individuals who can be verified during the SEP Eligibility Verification Process. Therefore, it is not too late to be able to apply for a retail license during Phase 3!
What is the SEP?
The SEP provides applicants assistance in navigating the City’s cannabis licensing process – whether it be technical or business related. This is especially helpful for first-time legal cannabis business owners.
However, if you have additional questions on how to operate a licensed cannabis business, please ask our attorneys at Margolin & Lawrence as the Social Equity deadline is quickly approaching! We are proud to be one of the few jurisdictions in the United States that is persistent on addressing those that are disproportionately impacted by the War on Drugs.
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy recently signed a bill renewing New Jersey’s medical marijuana program. Murphy signed the Jake Honig Compassionate Use Medical Cannabis Act into law.
Recently, rumors and misinformation have circulated surrounding LA’s “undue concentration” rules for commercial cannabis licensing. The undue concentration rules have not been eliminated, as some have falsely claimed. LA has recently changed details about the policy, in a way that will allow more retail dispensary licenses to be issued sooner. Some have feared, however, that the latest changes may introduce an element of unfairness to the licensing process.
California approves bill to extend provisional permits, curtail illicit cannabis firms
The California Legislature approved – and Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law – a marijuana regulatory package that includes both an extension for provisional business licenses and a new tool for regulators to crack down on unlicensed growers and retailers.
On June 11, 2019 the California Senate approved an amended version of Assembly Bill AB-97 effectively allowing state agencies to issue provisional licenses to all cannabis operators -- including those who do not currently hold a temporary license. Under the Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA), which regulates the licensure of cannabis in the state of California, only those who held or hold a state temporary license for the same premises and commercial activity applying for were eligible to obtain a provisional license prior to the recent amendment of AB-97. The new legislation will allow new cannabis businesses who have not received temporary licenses from the state to directly apply for a provisional license following approval from their local jurisdiction.
On Tuesday, May 28, the Los Angeles City Attorney Michael Feuer filed a draft ordinance regarding retail cannabis licensing.
While much of California continues to break boundaries on legalizing cannabis, Oakland is poised to follow in Denver’s footsteps in bringing a different substance to the mainstream: natural psychedelics.


text: Background: Transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) people are a marginalized set of the population that continues to experience health care inequalities. This study aimed to assess oral health parameters including Candida growth and intensity among TGNC adults. Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited two subgroups: 40 transgender and 40 control adults. Consented participants were interviewed and clinically examined. Data using the WHO oral health assessment forms were obtained. Samples for Candida growth and intensity analysis were collected from the dorsum surface of the tongue. Results: 27.5% of the transgender group was HIV seropositive. Oral nicotine stomatitis and leukoplakia are reported to be the most prevalent intra-oral lesions showing a prevalence of 27.5% and 20%, respectively. The dental and periodontal health parameters of the transgender group were worse than those of the control group. The intensity of Candida colonies was significantly higher in the test group (p = 0.014). Conclusion: Poor oral health and significant oral mucosal disorders were reported in transgender adults that have shown a higher rate of behavioral risk factors such as tobacco and alcohol consumption. Further longitudinal studies in different world regions are warranted to understand the barriers to good oral health in transgender adults and how to implement effective prevention and management strategies.

Advancing Pediatric Hematology Oncology Care Through Genomics
Discovering Links Between Genetics and Hematology/Oncology
Genomics is changing the way pediatric cancers are identified and treated. The Division of Hematology/Oncology/BMT at Children’s Mercy Kansas City, working with the hospital’s internationally known Genomic Medicine Center, is at the forefront of research to better understand the genomics of pediatric cancer and blood diseases. Several studies and projects currently underway show the potential translational impact of genomics on diagnosis and care for pediatric patients.
Uncovering the Role of Genomics in Infant ALL
When babies are diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) before their first birthday, the disease is highly aggressive. Approximately 65 percent of these babies will relapse within about a year of starting treatment, and few of those will survive.
Erin Guest, MD, Director of the Children’s Mercy Cancer Genomics Program, and her team are trying to determine why certain babies’ leukemia relapses. While all babies with ALL are high-risk, it would be helpful to be able to predict which babies were more likely to have poor outcomes.
The team is sequencing the genomes of leukemia cells to learn answers to important questions:
- What is driving the growth of the cancer?
- Which mutations in cancer cells make it more sensitive or resistant to treatment?
- What genes are turned off and on?
The ultimate goal of Dr. Guest’s ongoing research is to target therapies to the genetics of the leukemia cells to kill them and prevent any relapse.
How Genetic Variations Affect Outcomes in Hispanic Pediatric ALL Patients
Hispanic pediatric patients have a 15 percent higher incidence of ALL than do Caucasians. Survival rates also differ. Caucasians have at least a 93 percent survival rate, while Hispanics experience a survival rate between 75-85 percent.
What factors contribute to the difference in pediatric outcomes between Hispanic and Caucasian patients? What can we do to address them?
These are questions of interest to Terrie Flatt, DO, MA, pediatric hematologist/oncologist and Director of the Children’s Mercy HOPE clinic (Hematologia Oncologia Peunte de Esperanza).
In his research, funded by The Midwest Cancer Alliance, Dr. Flatt is focused on the cytogenetics of cancer cells. Hispanics tend to have a higher incidence of poor prognostic features. For example, a specific mutation turns stem cells and cancer cells on and off. Hispanics have a higher incidence of this mutation, which is important because a targeted drug action could be designed to address it.
Dr. Flatt is collaborating with centers in Mexico, where they see patients with a mix of ancestry differences (Spaniard, Aztec, Mayan, etc.). They test these individuals to learn percentages of racial background and correlate these numbers to cytogenetics. The next step is to look at genetic variations that are specific to populations to aid in the understanding of how different groups respond to cancer and to treatment.
Although the study is still in its recruitment phase, Dr. Flatt is recognized globally for his expertise in this arena. To date, he’s given more than 30 international talks on this topic.
Identifying Genetic Variants in Hemophilia Using Dried Blood Spots
When a patient has hemophilia, molecular analysis is an ideal diagnostic tool because it helps predict disease manifestations, such as inhibitor development, and it provides family planning support to female carriers. However, the test is expensive, which means many patients avoid it. Plus, it typically takes several weeks to receive results, which could prove dangerous to newborns at risk of spontaneous bleeding.
Shannon Carpenter, MD, MS, Associate Division Director, Section of Hematology at Children’s Mercy, and several of her colleagues set out to address this issue. Their goal was to identify the mutation causing hemophilia in patients with known hemophilia through genomic sequencing using dried blood spots while significantly lowering the turnaround time and cost of testing.
The team conducted a single-center, prospective pilot study, where they developed a sequencing assay to identify genetic variants in the factor VIII and IX genes using dried blood spots. The study demonstrated that DNA can be extracted and analyzed for variants in factor VIII and IX genes from dried blood spots on filter paper. Potential applications of this new technology include clinical molecular analysis in patients with known hemophilia, newborn screening, carrier identification and improved diagnosis in underserved areas.
Leading the Way in Research
With support from the Genomic Medicine Center, oncology and hematology researchers at Children’s Mercy are consistently focused on new discoveries. Research is focused in three areas: determinants of disease, interventions, and cancer control and supportive care. They conduct broad clinical testing and innovative research for all patients, both with new diagnoses of cancer and relapses, while closely monitoring insights learned at other research centers, to advance their care for all children with difficult-to-understand diseases.

In Dungarvan, King John's Castle, an Anglo-Norman fortification (1185) would have originally been entered by drawbridge. It is undergoing reconstruction but there are guided tours, an audio-visual show and exhibitions during the summer season.
They’re mad about cycling in Dungarvan, and it was here that the first cycling club in Ireland was founded in 1869. The local club went on to win the first ever bike race in the British Isles. They still have the cup to prove it.
Waterford, about 45 minutes away, is Ireland’s oldest city. Originally a Viking settlement, it is now a major port with much to see and do. Glass, or crystal, was manufactured in the city from 1783 until early 2009, when the factory there was eventually shut down.
There is a great annual Viking marathon in Waterford in June.
About half an hour away, the magnificent Lismore Castle with its long and distinguished history, has splendid gardens open to the public during the summer months, and compelling cultural events are held in the town throughout the year.
How to get there - Car advised..

On April 26 we attended a meeting of stakeholders to learn about the multi-family construction project on rue Julien, across from rue Moffatt, in Knowlton. This was part of TBL’s public consultation process to authorize four “derogations” / changes to Zoning By Law 596 designed to increase to 67 the number of apartments to be built on the rue Julien site. The originally approved project for seven, two-story buildings was already a squeeze, given the site is wedged between Knowlton Road, Victoria Street and an extensive wetland to its north.
We have serious concerns about the consequences of cramming even more families and cars into such a confined area. These derogations propose adding a third floor and reducing the already minimal frontage on most of the buildings. No elevators are planned and there is no outdoor space for children to play. Additional related concerns were raised at the consultation, including poor quality of construction and unsafe underground parking.
Clearly these proposed zoning changes would not improve the quality of life for its residents. Given the many new housing projects on the horizon, it is a critical time to think about what quality of life means to, and for, all citizens of Knowlton. Why set a precedent by approving an overcrowded living environment? Is it necessary to risk causing the many problems associated with overcrowding?
