Headlines Maritime industry, key to solving nation’s economic challenges – Utomi By maritimemag August 24, 2023 ShareTweet 0 By Abiodun OBA Maritime industry has been said to have the potentials of solving the nation’s economic challenges with its tremendous possibilities. Renowned political economist, Prof. Pat Utomi, submitted during a maritime roundtable organised by the NLNG Shipping and Marine Services Limited (NSML) and Utomapp Limited. Speaking on the theme, ‘Emerging Technology and Regulations in the Global Maritime Industry of the Future and the Impacts on the Nigerian Sector’, Utomi lamented that the sector has not been managed to realise its possibilities due to leaders and politicians who see the sector as a meal ticket. He warned that if Nigeria does not catch up with the trends and make laws for economic competitiveness, it would continue to lag behind in the comity of nations. “When you have an area that can transform your economy, you do not send boys to go and make money there, you find people who are capable of opening the place up and get them to go and transform your country. But because regulators and people, who lead, do not understand what they are doing, because there is a challenge of purpose. The maritime sector is seen as a place where they send people to go and make money. “This is an industry where we can solve the problem of this economy because the possibilities are tremendous. There are so many ventures that flow out of the maritime sector,” he said. As technological change continues to impact the future of the sector in Nigeria, Utomi highlighted some of the technologies that could influence the sector. “These include digital platforms for ship and cargo tracking, robotics, blockchain technology, autonomous ships and unmanned ports, big data, Internet of things and artificial intelligence. Utomi said the inefficiencies in the Nigerian port system have led to low productivity, thereby, appealing to regulators and legislators to continue to build their knowledge and liaise with industry clarity of national strategy. Former Minister of Interior, Capt. Emmanuel Iheanacho said technology was the way to go for Nigeria to achieve a prosperous maritime sector. According to him, technology is vastly encroaching on the delivery of maritime services. “How ready are we? How do we understand technology and what kind of technology is it projecting into the future?” Iheanacho, who is the Managing Director of Genesis Worldwide Shipping, said Nigeria needs to start understanding and defining emerging technology that would drive the maritime sector. He said: “For a prosperous maritime sector, technology was the way to go. It is geared towards getting better output into the input made. Goods that are carried on ships are going to be cheaper, the lives of the seafarers are safer, and the environment is projected. With these, we will not want to be behind, we want to be at the forefront of defining how this goes.” The Managing Director of the NLNG Shipping and Marine Services Limited (NSML), Abdulkadir Ahmed, said stakeholders have significant roles to play in ensuring that Nigeria is not left behind in the new global maritime economy. As strategic leaders and regulators of the maritime industry, he said there is a need to gain a comprehensive understanding of the complexities of the tropical issues, develop clear actions and guidelines that would guide regulators and place Nigeria on the pathway to success, through a safe, reliable and globally competitive maritime industry. He maintained that technological advancement and regulations were critical issues fully anchored on the objectives of ensuring a safe, reliable and sustainable industry. Ahmed said analysing the issues within the context of the applicability of the nation’s maritime industry was vital, as they are bound to change the operations and dynamics of the sector. Specifically, while giving instances of progress made, Ahmed said the NSML, is at the vanguard of promoting the ideas of the two issues as they affect its operations as a shipping and marine services company. To be able to operate safely and efficiently in a deeply regulated and technologically advanced maritime sector, Ahmed stressed that it is imperative that “we ‘future proof’ our people to ensure they possess the proper skills, capabilities and capacity through appropriate training and competency development programmes.” According to him, compliance with standards and the drive for technological advancement are underpinned by the competence, capability and skill set of the people and are essential to achieving safety, efficiency and ultimately, competitiveness. During the panel session, the panelists bemoaned the country’s overarching regulations, alleging that the regulations have no roadmap in the maritime space, among which is on how carbon emissions are measured in shipping. According to them, solutions have been preferred on different fora but no action and implementation from the government. © 2023, maritimemag. All rights reserved.

On May 20 Tien and I woke up on the island of Phu Quoc, went downstairs for breakfast and then took the moto out to have a look around the town. We bought a proper swimsuit for her, some sunscreen, and tried to find me a helmet, which is a continual failure.
Right as we were coming around the corner to one of the shops a puppy got run over by a motorbike that broke it's leg. The dog lay in the street yelping for a few minutes as we all looked in with pity before a little girl came and helped the dog back to her shop. Tien and I went to the shop to buy stuff and the poor puppy looked so sad, yelping and crying and looking around scared. Poor thing. At least he was alive though, and not being eaten.
Back at the hotel Tien and I prepared to go back down to the beach to go swimming, but as we were leaving the hotel staff asked us why we weren't going to bai sao, the prettiest beach on the island. It was 45 minutes away by moto, down the road we had taken the previous night. We decided to head there instead, which was a fantastic change of plans.
Once we got past the construction and actually by the coast it was absolutely beautiful. I couldn't believe how vivid the colors were. The ocean was emerald and blue all the way to a crisp horizon. The water was calm and reflected the large billowing clouds in the true blue sky. Our motorbike was pretty good and had the larger tires so it handled well on the dirt roads. There were some rough places though, like a bridge with huge gaps between the metal plates that covered the construction going on below.
We found our way to a little resort by the beach where we ran into the man who rented us our motorbike. He gave me a keychain, which I thought was strange before Tien told me it was the same guy. We also ran into a girl from Tiens village who was working at the resort. She sometimes shopped at Tiens family's store, and now we were buying beach towels from her.
The resort was a tropic paradise with clear waters on white sand, slow rolling waves over shallow waters that extended beyond a hundred meters. The water was warm, and later got hot enough that we had to swim way out to find the cool patches.
We rented two beach chairs and go. A menu. A little puppy came wandering up and we played with it a little before leaving it at the waters edge where it was scared of the waves.
We swam in the shallows, most of the time less than a meter deep. I swam way out to find some deep water but ended up just getting stung on my foot four times while checking if I could feel the bottom. Even where it was six feet deep I wore my sunglasses because the water was clear and calm enough that I was t worried about losing them.
We grabbed the cameras and waded out to take photos, not scared of submerging them in the shallows, then went back to the shore for ice cream and cold beer. After a few hours we decided to get a real meal elsewhere, and as we were leaving I saw a sick man throwing up. I was glad not to know whether it was the food.
Tien and I headed to a stream that was supposed to be beautiful, but when we got there it was all dried up. With that we decided to just grab lunch a the hotel and ended up napping the rest of the day away.
May 21 we woke up to rainy weather and ended up staying inside sorting through photos as we waited to leave. On the boat back to the mainland we played ipad games, listened to music while it rained and sometimes thundered out on the distant ocean. We also passed an island with a big white statue that looked like a saint next to what looked like temple gates.
The scattered rain kept up as we caught moto taxis to a bus station. I'm always glad the rain in SE Asia is warm.
We ate and had coffee while waiting for the bus. A woman let her child stand up on the motorbike to pick frui. From a tree. A girl came by wearing a shirt that said "Product Bros."
The bus we caught was a big badass that everybody moved over for. Inside was a movie about children doing Kung Fu. Movies where kids do adult things like fight biker gangs and seduce bikini clad babes drive me crazy.
We switched buses in LX and were dropped off right in front of Tiens parents house, then retired to thus house where we had dinner and slept in our familiar bed.

By Israel Ortega and Ray Walser
Halfway through the season’s presidential and vice presidential debates, it seems likely there’s going to be little discussion of U.S.-Latin American relations during this election.
No doubt finding answers to the current economic turmoil deserves priority, but surely there should be time to discuss links to one of our biggest export markets. Candidates might also show interest in the persistence of the drug threat, or the dangerous growth of radical populism and anti-Americanism in our backyard. Given this, the American electorate would be well served with policy proposals concerning U.S.-Latin American relations before it votes next month.
One vexing issue that ought to interest voters is how to handle Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez, deteriorating U.S.-Venezuelan relations, and growing Venezuelan ties with Russia and Iran. Russian warships are on their way to the Caribbean for joint maneuvers with the Venezuelan navy and Chavez has solicited Russian help with nuclear power.
After a flurry of profanity on the seventh anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, Chavez expelled U.S. Ambassador Patrick Duddy with the absurd charge that he was plotting a coup. Enriched by Venezuela’s oil revenues, agents of Chavez’s government have conspired with narco-terrorist guerrillas in Colombia, shipped suitcases of cash to Argentina and worked to firm up relations with Middle Eastern terrorist organizations, including Hamas and Hezbollah.
Oil and other subsidies from Chavez give Raul Castro in Cuba a major means to preserve his brother’s communist dictatorship well beyond what ought to have been its expiration date.
While most are aware that U.S. relations with Venezuela have been chilly for some time, the situation in the Andes and Central America is growing more dangerous as Chavez spreads his brand of radical populism across the region.
Borrowing from Chavez’s playbook, Evo Morales swept into power in Bolivia in 2006, promising mass-government handouts while deriding the free market and “Yankee imperialism.”
Morales has tightened his grip on the state, nationalizing the gas industry, cutting away at private property rights, defending the right of farmers to grow coca (the base ingredient of cocaine), and pushing his country to the brink of civil war.
In Ecuador, President Rafael Correa has utilized his brand of radical populism to win control over the nation’s central bank and key economic resources and to guarantee his own longevity in office. In Nicaragua, Sandinista President Daniel Ortega pines for the bad old days of the 1980s. Even traditional Central American friend Honduras is tempted by offers of cheap oil and other financial aid from Venezuela.
And yet, the stalled Colombia free-trade agreement in Congress seems to indicate that our own elected officials have little interest in shoring up our ties with one of our strongest allies in South America.
In the past, U.S. presidents articulated broad visions and bold measures to advance U.S. interests and leadership in the Americas. Whether it was Theodore Roosevelt’s “Path Between the Seas” or FDR’s “Good Neighbor Policy” or JFK’s “Alliance for Progress,” American presidents have displayed vision.
One hopes that the candidates will be able to look past the current crisis on Wall Street and beyond sniping over their fitness for high office to articulate a clearer vision of the way forward in the Americas. The instinct for American leadership should prevail in reasserting the importance of democracy, human rights, economic freedom and individual liberty in the Western Hemisphere and across the globe.

Ray Walser, Ph.D., is Senior Policy Analyst for Latin America in the Douglas and Sarah Allison Center for Foreign Policy Studies, a division of the Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute for International Studies at Heritage.

Bay Area is famous for being one of the best areas at having the worst traffic. And I-80 still remains one of the worst ones, due to the Bay Area’s most dreadful commutes report.
An Annual analysis of weekday freeway traffic and the report found that the traffic is reducing in some cases, but there are no visible improvements as people would want during these 4 years of commutes.
The rates of congestions stay at the highest levels, and for easing it out, it will require people to change their way of getting around the city. Another way of easing it out can be cities that will build more housing closer to jobs, according to some commissioners.
So which Bay Area highway has the worst traffic?
For the 3rd year already, I-80 is in the 1st pace in this ranking of the worst congestions. I-80 connects San Francisco to Oakland from Cesar Chavez Street to the tunnel, called Treasure Island. In the 2nd place is also I-80 but in a different direction – starting in the morning and till the evening all the way from Hercules to the Bay Bridge toll plaza.
The report estimated the weekly (weekday) commutes by hours of delay or differences between driving times.
The homeward-bound backup causes 14,500 hrs. of delay, on a usual weekday, meanwhile, the westbound way to the Bay Bridge creates 12,650 hrs. of delay.
After all the done studies, we can round up 5 main highways with the worst commutes (the study includes 2017):
- Highway 101 Southbound – in the afternoon – Fai Oaks Ave. to Oakland Rd. and 13th in Santa Clara County
- I-680 North – in the evening – Scott Creek Rd. to Andrade Rd. in Alameda County
- Highway 4 Eastbound – in the evening – Morello Ave. to Port Chicago Highway in eastern Contra Costa County
All the highways made big jumps in the time passed, but I-80. The Highway stays at the same position to be the worst one.
Take Care and Drive Safe!

A recent study published in BMC Medicine has highlighted the significant health benefits of replacing animal-based foods like red and processed meats, eggs, and dairy products with plant-based alternatives such as nuts, legumes, and whole grains.
This comprehensive review of various studies underscores the positive impact such dietary changes can have on reducing the risk of chronic diseases and death.
Benefits of Plant-Based Substitutes
The study, led by Sabina Schlesinger and Lukas Schwingshackl, analyzed data from 37 publications, including 24 prospective cohort studies.
These studies focused on how replacing certain animal-based foods with plant-based options affects health outcomes. The findings were revealing:
Substituting 50 grams of processed meat per day with 28 to 50 grams of nuts led to a 27% decrease in the overall incidence of cardiovascular disease.
Replacing processed meat with legumes reduced the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases by 23%.
Swapping one daily egg with 25 to 28 grams of nuts resulted in a 17% lower risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, the study didn’t find significant benefits in replacing poultry and fish with nuts or legumes in terms of cardiovascular risk.
Impact on Diabetes and Overall Mortality
The study also shed light on how dietary changes can influence the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and affect overall mortality:
Replacing 50 grams of processed meat with 10 to 28 grams of nuts each day was linked to a 22% reduction in the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Switching one egg per day with 30 grams of whole grains or 10 grams of nuts was associated with a 21% and 18% reduction in type 2 diabetes risk, respectively.
Furthermore, substituting processed meat with nuts significantly reduced the risk of death from all causes by 21%.
Need for More Research
While these findings are promising, the authors note that more research is needed to fully understand the health impacts of replacing animal-based foods with plant-based alternatives.
Future studies could explore the effects of meat and dairy substitutes on health outcomes.
This research highlights the potential benefits of incorporating more plant-based foods into our diets, not only for personal health but also for broader environmental sustainability.
In summary, this study emphasizes the importance of diet in managing health risks. Shifting towards plant-based foods can significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and overall mortality.
It serves as a call to action for individuals to reconsider their dietary choices for better health outcomes.

Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) Chief Executive Member (CEM) Pyniaid Sing Syiem has stated that the toll gate, shut down by the district administration, was operated by a third party.
The shut toll gate had been collecting “tax” on various goods entering Meghalaya including essential commodities and was sealed by the Ri-Bhoi district administration yesterday.
The CEM said that though the gate belonged to the KHADC, it was operated by an individual. He said the district council has show-caused the operator, who has to respond within seven days.
Syiem said if the operator does not respond within the timeframe, the council will have to shut down the tollgate.
He justified that toll gates were installed as per provisions of the Sixth Schedule, but most are leased out to the private parties.
Stating that the toll gates of the district council have been in operation for several years, Syiem claimed that a high level committee headed by the Chief Minister had decided that the toll gates can be raised as per the Sixth Schedule, in places where they don’t cause traffic inconveniences.
He further said a working plan was also submitted to the government wherein the district council can regulate trucks entering the state without proper documentation.
Toll gates run by District Councils are illegal since the State government had last year directed all District Councils to close down their toll gates along national highways and State roads.

A gaming venue must have an entitlement for each gaming machine it operates, allocated by the State in accordance with the Gambling Regulation Act 2003. The current gaming machine entitlements last ten years and will expire in 2022.
On 7 July 2017, the Minister for Consumer Affairs, Gaming and Liquor Regulation Marlene Kairouz announced new gaming machine arrangements (external link) that will help limit gambling related harm and give certainty to pubs, clubs and hotels across Victoria.
Under the changes, the number of gaming machines in Victoria will remain capped at 27,372 and the maximum number of gaming machines in a single venue will be frozen at 105.
The reforms include:
- replacing the current 10 year term with a 20 year term, and requiring venue operators to make two sets of premium payments – the first in 2022 and the second in 2032
- giving venue operators the opportunity to acquire post-August 2022 entitlements up to the number of entitlements they held on 7 July 2017 through an administrative allocation process, rather than a competitive process
- increasing the maximum number of entitlements held by a club venue operator from 420 to 840
- adjusting the 50:50 rule to facilitate the allocation of unused club entitlements to the hotel sector
- determining premium payments for entitlements based on a venue’s gaming revenue
- making changes to the current gaming machine taxation arrangements to make them more progressive.
These changes have been made as part of a review of the regulatory arrangements for gaming machines – enabling pubs, clubs and hotels to make decisions with certainty well before their current entitlements expire in 2022.
The allocation process is expected to be complete by the end of 2018.
New venue operators and existing venue operators wanting to acquire extra entitlements will have the opportunity to apply for entitlements not taken up during the initial offer.
If you have a query about the process, contact the Gaming Machine Allocation Project by email email@example.com

A Farm Grows in Newark
- Mar 11, 2015
New Jersey is known as the Garden State but most wouldn’t expect a former industrial site in Newark, N.J., to become home to the world’s largest indoor vertical farm. RBH Group and AeroFarms are transforming a converted steel factory into a 69,000-square-foot indoor growing facility and the corporate headquarters for AeroFarms.
Goldman Sachs Urban Investment Group and Prudential Financial along with the City of Newark and the New Jersey Economic Development Authority are also partnering with RBH Group and AeroFarms on the $30 million project.
The former factory is located at 212 Rome St. in the city’s Ironbound section and is owned by RBH Group, which has acquired, developed, rehabilitated and/or operated more than 1 million square feet of commercial and residential real estate in the United States. In Newark, RBH is currently developing the Teachers Village and Four Corners Millennium projects. The $150 million mixed-use project broke ground nearly two years ago and features apartments for teachers and several charter schools.
Ron Beit, CEO and founding partner of RBH Group, said in a news release the AeroFarms development is the anchor of a Makers Village project that will be built on the three-acre site. The first phases will open later this year and create about 78 jobs. When completed, AeroFarms will have the capacity to grow up to 2 million pounds a year of baby leafy greens and fresh herbs. The firm, founded in 2004, uses a soil-free approach to vertical farming to grow the salad ingredients.
He said the Makers Village development would “compete toe-to-toe with the Brooklyn Navy Yard in terms of superior cost structure and greater transmodal access, bringing 21st century ‘maker-type’ businesses to Newark and the state of New Jersey.”
“Partnering with RBH, Goldman Sachs, Prudential, the City of Newark and NJEDA allows us to bring our global headquarters and the world’s largest indoor vertical farm close to where the consumer is, offering a fresher, more nutritious and delicious product while also creating jobs in the community,” David Rosenberg, AeroFarms CEO, said in the release.
The firm is creating a recruiting and job training program for local residents with the Ironbound Community Corp.
Margaret Anadu, managing director, Goldman Sachs Urban Investment Group, said the development would “boost the local economy, promote healthy food options locally, and support environmental sustainability.”
Other projects in the New York-New Jersey region funded by the Goldman Sachs Urban Investment Group, include a $75 million investment fund for residential development. Known as the GS BRP Urban Joint Venture, Goldman Sachs is partnering with BRP Cos. of New York on the fund.

What if every life-altering choice you made could split your world into infinite worlds?
Almost fifteen, Alicia is smart and funny with a deep connection to the poet Sylvia Plath, but she’s ultimately failing at life. With a laundry list of diagnoses, she hallucinates different worlds—strange, decaying, otherworldly yet undeniably real worlds that are completely unlike her own with her single mom and one true friend. In one particularly vivid hallucination, Alicia is drawn to a boy her own age named Jax who’s trapped in a dying universe. Days later, her long-lost father shows up at her birthday party, telling her that the hallucinations aren’t hallucinations, but real worlds; she and Jax are bound by a strange past and intertwining present. This leads her on a journey to find out who she is while trying to save the people and worlds she loves. J.Q. Coyle’s The Infinity of You & Me is a wild ride through unruly hearts and vivid worlds guaranteed to captivate.
* A special thanks to the publisher for this review copy*
2.5 out of 5 stars
Can you say let-down in any other way?
The plot for this was set up well, it was unique and multi-layered but it failed somehow. In the beginning I was definitely intrigued by the hallucinations, the different worlds, the obvious secrets, and the underlying cause of it all. But somewhere along the way the plot became too complex, and the characters became hard to track. It was sort of like a strange version of the movie Inception--except this one was a little harder to follow due to a lot of information, or should I say situations, worlds, being thrown at you at any given time.
Don't get me wrong, you do not have to be a genius to keep up with this one, you just have to be invested enough to care.
Can you say doing too much?
After a while I was having a hard time keeping up with the different characters and which characters were doing what, and where. I was starting to get frustrated with it all, and was quite ready to call it quits.
By the end of it, I was satisfied to see it end, but not completely fulfilled with the ending. Again, the novel had a lot of potential but it sagged and fell beneath the many worlds, and goings ons. I didn't hate this one, but I can't say I quite liked--especially not by the end. I was more happy to see it over, than anything--and it's a shame too.
I'd recommend this one for readers that like complex, sci-fi-ish like reads, that don't mind a lot going on.

National political leaders in India have slammed provincial government officials in Uttar Pradesh for a deterioration of security in the northern state amid new rape allegations.
The criticism on Thursday, comes on the heels on several heinous crimes in the province, including the May rape and murders of two teenaged girls. Villagers found the bodies of the 12 and 14-year-old girls hanging from a tree.
On Wednesday, a woman said four officers gang raped her inside of an Uttar Pradesh police station after she refused to pay a bribe to secure her husband's release. Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, the leader of the ruling BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party), said local government officials have been lax in punishing criminals.
"People who are trying to worsen law and order situation of Uttar Pradesh are somewhat getting protection from the government. We have noticed the government is justifying the criminal acts of people," he said.
Congress Party leader Rashid Alvi said Uttar Pradesh should be "divided," so that governance could be done "in a better way."
During his first speech to parliament, on Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged lawmakers to stop "politicizing" rape and instead work together to ensure women's safety.
He said "respecting and protecting women" should be a priority in India.

It’s no secret that fall is our favorite season. With the crisp cool air and colorful leaves, what’s not to love?
So here are 10 reasons why the fall rocks!
1. Pumpkin spice everything.
Fall is when it becomes socially acceptable to enjoy pumpkin spice everything. Literally, everything from pumpkin spice lattes to pumpkin spice pasta sauce. Seriously pumpkin sauce is a real thing!
2. Colorful leaves.
Leaves in orange, yellow, red, brown, and all the colors in-between make for a beautiful landscape. Plus, you can make tons of crafts with the colorful leaves so you can enjoy their color year round!
It’s all about those layers. Fall is the time where you can wear a tank, a flowy shirt, a cardigan and totally be on point! This is just the perfect time of the year for those ladies who like to have a cardigan in every color… You know who you are.
Only true fall-lovers understand the pure joy that comes forth when you discover the pumpkin patch is open. Just think of the endless things you can do with a pumpkin! You could make pumpkin bread, roast pumpkin seeds, or carve a jack-o-lantern. Fall is pumpkin time!

Letchworth Garden City and Baldock Lions Club spreading the Christmas cheer
- Credit: Archant
A charitable organisation has been spreading Christmas cheer during a visit to a riding school for disabled children.

Cotton growers – through Cotton Australia’s Cotton to Market program and the Australian Cotton Shippers Association (ACSA) - have been represented in key supply chain meetings in Indonesia.
Export Marketing Consultant Rob Cairns travelled to Indonesia recently for the first in-market visits funded by the Federal government’s ATMAC program.
Joined by ACSA Directors Matthew Bradd and Michael O’Rielley, the group had a mix of one-on-one, mill visits and an industry seminar which attracted 60 people including Indonesian agents - the big buyers of Australian cotton - and supply chain partners.
One of the biggest hits from the post-seminar networking and afternoon tea session was the Cotton Australia Virtual Reality goggles which take people onto a cotton farm. The same VR goggles have been a great success for engagement at both the Sydney Royal Easter Show and The Ekka in Brisbane.
Indonesia is Australia’s 13th biggest export trading partner and is a highly important market for Australian cotton. The feedback from stakeholders was that Australian cotton is well appreciated for its superior quality, sustainable growing practices and consistently high quality, contamination free fibre.
Indonesian consumption is around 2.4 million bales with many expecting that to increase to 3 million soon, and while the country also trades significantly with Brazil and the US, two of the largest spinning mills, both important clients for Australian cotton exports, have expanded their capacity recently.
In the next six months ACSA will work to create increased demand for Australian cotton through in-market visits to Vietnam, Thailand, India, Bangladesh and Turkey as well as a range of communication activities with brands and supply chain partners.
The Australian delegation met with DFAT and Austrade staff at the Australian embassy in Jakarta with all contacts indicating they were ready to assist in any way they can.

Hemp is unique since it’s loaded with a well balanced profile of Omega 3, 6 & 9 fats to match the body’s needs.

What’s the Distinction In Between CBD Oil & Hemp Oil?
What is CBD Oil?
The term “CBD” indicates a part of the marijuana plant that gives the much talked about anti-inflammatory benefits and also relief. It coincides thing you’re seeing marketed on every little thing from skin care products to tinctures. Suppliers remove it from the fallen leaves, flowers, and also stocks of cannabis plants.
“Cannabidiol– called CBD– is one of over a hundred active compounds or cannabinoids located solely in the marijuana plant,” says Cindy Capobianco, co-founder of Lord Jones. “CBD functions as an analgesic as well as anti-inflammatory, which decreases pain and also inflammation. It’s been made use of for centuries to efficiently provide pain relief to muscular tissue pains, joint inflammation, joint pain, neuropathic problems, migraines, as well as to help skin problem like dermatitis, psoriasis, rosacea, also sunburn, and bug bites when used topically.”
When it’s consumed, Capobianco states that skin issues, like psoriasis, sunburn, and eczema, can be aided as well as also cleared in many cases. She likewise claims that, “… it gives relief from anxiety as well as promotes a calm feeling of wellness.”
CBD itself is really a powerful & extremely anti-inflammatory anti-oxidant. “It’s been shown in multiple studies to decrease lipid product from the sebaceous glands– and also the overflow of this sebum is what results in acne,” claims Ashley Lewis, co-founder of Fleur Marché. You can see it on labels under the complying with terms: CBD, Hemp CBD, Phytocannabinoid-rich Hemp Oil. This is where some of the confusion lies.
What Is Hemp Oil?
Hemp seed oil, on the other hand, is relative to several other carrier oils– along the lines of sunflower seed oil as well as jojoba oil– because it’s a cold-pressed remove from seeds. “Hemp seed oil, in some cases described as cannabis sativa seed oil, is perfectly great seed oil that’s high in anti-oxidants, omega-3 as well as -6 fatty acids, yet has no CBD,” describes Capobianco. “Hemp seed or cannabis sativa seed oil has actually been readily available in health food shops for years as well as perfectly present in smoothies and also skin care.”
On the other hand, hemp seed oil is similar to lots of other service provider oils consists of sunflower seed oil as well as jojoba oil. The similarities come from all 3 of these oils being cold-pressed extracts from their relative seeds.
“Hemp seed oil, in some cases referred to as marijuana sativa seed oil, is perfectly good seed oil that’s high in antioxidants, omega-3 as well as -6 fatty acids, but includes no CBD,” explains Capobianco. “Hemp seed or marijuana sativa seed oil has actually been available in natural food shops for years as well as abundantly existing in healthy smoothies and also skin treatment.”
This means that, regardless of what any person says, hemp seed oil has definitely no cannabinoids in it. There is no CBD or THC existing in the oil.
“It’s generally viewed as a superfood and also is excellent for adding nutritional value to your diet regimen,” she claims. “In terms of skin care, it’s known as a powerful cream and also skin conditioner that does not clog pores or contribute to oily skin– it has a comedogenic rating of zero.” Product labels can have it listed as: Hemp Seed Oil, Marijuana Sativa Seed Oil, Virgin Hemp Oil, Hemp Oil.

Unearthing Queer Ecologies in Portugal
Unearthing Queer Ecologies is an ongoing audio/ visual sound art project using biology and technology to reveal imagery and sounds of growing plantlife and ecosystems that exist beyond the scope of human eyes and ears. The title references the term Queer Ecology which scholar Catriona Sandilands describes as “recognizing that people often regard nature in terms of dualistic notions like “natural and unnatural,” “alive or not alive” or “human or not human,” when in reality, nature exists in a continuous state.” This project pays homage to this idea by sonically and visually documenting the growth of lavender, pansies and mushrooms; plants that have been deemed “queer” by culture and organisms that are “queer” in the very nature of their DNA. Using innovative technology, electrodes are attached to plants and Plantwave converts the electrical impulses from the plants into midi information. This midi information is sent into analogue and digital synthesizers thus, producing sounds. The initial video was created by generating video from sound using Max 8. The generative video aspect happening in real time was developed by artist and technologist, Mel Gross. Unearthing Queer Ecologies was invited to MEXE festival in the form of two performances in Porto and Lisbon as well as an audio visual installation at the Jardim Botanical (Botanical Gardens) of Porto, Portugal.
This project received a USArtists International Grant to create an installation at the Botanical Gardens and to be performed at MEXE Festival at a public park in Porto and at Culturgest in Lisbon, Portugal in Spetember, 2021. In addition to this, the project received a micro grant from BOPA as well as The Medicine Show.


DOUBLE GLAZING REPAIRS SOLIHULL
Repairs to double glazing & replacement double glazed units
At Window Fix of Solihull Ltd, we guarantee to fix or replace your windows for less than you might think.
Using our team of fitters to repair conservatory roofs, leaking guttering, broken windows, so call Window Fix of Solihull Ltd now!
A ‘misted’ unit is whenever condensation appears between the two panes of glass, a failure which can occur for a variety of reasons – often as a result of improper fitting and/or buying the cheapest product at the lowest price.
Sometimes it’s just the length of time the windows have been installed and the vacuum between the two panes has been compromised by wear and tear. Regrettably in these cases, we don’t have a magic wand and there’s no realistic alternative but replacement. Here we can help and our expert fitters will soon have your double glazing functioning as it should! We turn your windows from cloudy 2 clear!
We offer argon filled double glazed units for a small additional cost, over that of conventional units.
Argon is a colourless, odourless, non-flammable, non-reactive, inert gas. Argon gas fills reduce heat loss in our sealed units by slowing down convection inside the air space. As air itself is a good insulator, filling the gap between the glass panes with a low-inductivity gas such as argon improves window performance by reducing conductive and convective heat transfers. This phenomenon results from the fact that the density of the gas is greater than the density of the air.
This combination of Argon Gas and low-e energy saving glass alone can achieve an improvement in thermal performance in the region of 50% over and above that of a standard sealed unit.
We carry out remedial work to existing products:
uPVC doors - locks, hinges and cylinders
uPVC and aluminium - windows, locking systems and hinges
Replacement double glazing units
Door panels, Letter boxes, cat and dog flaps
Patio Doors - tracks, wheels and re-alignment
Conservatories - replacement glass, sola polycarbonate roofs, poly roofs and refurbishments
Secondary glazing fitted to listed buildings
Roofline – Fascia / Soffits & Guttering. The fascia board is the long, straight board that runs along the lower edge of the roof. The fascia is fixed directly to the roof trusses and usually does all the work of supporting the bottom row of tiles and carrying all the guttering The soffit board is tucked away under the fascia board. It is usually the board that you see most of from street level. The soffit can be ventilated to allow the flow of air into the roof area. Alternatively ventilation can be provided over the top of the fascia board. Many people prefer the latter solution these days. Without adequate ventilation, condensation will form in the roof void increasing the risk of timber decay.
We also carry out repairs to leaking guttering, fascias, soffits and conservatory roofs. Repairing your double glazing rather than replacing it can save you a lot of money. Repairing double glazing can also save you money on your energy bills by preventing unnecessary heat loss from your home. Our specialist team can undertaken any double glazing and conservatory repairs. We provide quality workmanship and use the highest quality materials to ensure that every repair job is finished to the highest standard.

Right after a couple minutes about the walkway, you must attain a bit where by you'll find auto obtain streets allowing autos and trucks to enter or exit the Brooklyn Bridge from underneath.
When Eilis initial goes by means of US Customs the thing is a considerably shot of her lifting her suitcase on to the counter for inspection.
Following the 2007 collapse from the I-35W freeway bridge in Minneapolis, community attention focused on the issue of bridges over the U.S. The brand new York Situations reported which the Brooklyn Bridge solution ramps gained a score of "poor" in the course of its inspection in 2007. Based on a NYC Office of Transportation spokesman, the lousy rating didn't indicate a perilous state but somewhat implied it required renovation.
In August 2016, after the renovation on the bridge had presently been completed, the New York Metropolis Division of Transportation announced that it might carry out a seven-thirty day period, US$370,000 study to confirm In the event the bridge could assistance a heavier higher deck that consisted of an expanded bicycle and pedestrian route.
Less than this deal, DOT will switch the present roadway pavement, and rehabilitate historic arch blocks, railings, and masonry structures.

DOT will increase the overhead clearance at the York Street arch over the BQE, which try this website happens to be at the moment decreased than marketplace expectations.
Put simply, you may have two alternatives: walking and bicycle tours. You can find far more possibilities than Everything you’ll locate outlined under, but this listing will serve you well.
The bridge was off-limits to pedestrians for forty decades, until the summer season of 2001 once the pedestrian walkway was re-opened. The entrance about the Manhattan side features a fairly amazing arch and colonnade.
You’ll also recognize a freeway (yellow arrow) jogging up and down the Manhattan waterfront. i loved this Formally named the Franklin D Roosevelt E.

In 1867, on The premise of such achievements, New York legislators authorized Roebling’s program for the suspension bridge around the East River involving Manhattan and Brooklyn. It could be the incredibly to start with metal suspension bridge, boasting the longest span on the globe: one,600 ft from tower to tower.
To keep your son or daughter engaged and my response energized, we propose that at the Manhattan-aspect tower you cease for a few minutes.
Point CHECK: We attempt for accuracy and fairness. However, if you see a thing that isn't going to glimpse correct, Speak to us!
The aim of the write-up is to assist you approach for walking through the Brooklyn Bridge – ways to get to it, wherever to get started on, when to go, what else There's to accomplish throughout the bridge.

When you exit, there'll be a considerable park throughout the road. Properly cross the road, enter the park and there is a paved, curved walkway that you're going to see men and women coming and going in the two directions.


The Attorney General of Maryland, Brian Frosh, has sent a letter to Attorneys General in the other states (even the free ones) asking them to push for gun purchase laws similar to the ones he spearheaded when he was in the Maryland legislature. Frosh and US Congress critter Chris Van Hollen (a waste of human flesh) are working hand in hand as Van Hollen has introduced legislation to force these kinds of licensing schemes on the country.
Both of these men are enemies of the state and should be put in jail for their work against the US Constitution.
Frosh cites a study conducted by the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research. The name should tell you all you need to know as this group is not in favor of gun ownership.
The study compared two states and drews conclusions that stretch things to say the least.
In any study of gun laws that affects all 50 states it is cherry picking to select only two for the study. This was done so that a conclusion wanted by the researchers could be obtained. It is a tortuous process but these anti-Constitutional morons have to find a way to lord over you.
Part of Frosh’s statement:
“We can only do so much,” Frosh said at a news conference in Towson. “People can buy guns in our neighboring jurisdictions and bring them across the state lines illegally, and it adds to the violence and deaths that we experience in our state.” The Baltimore Sun
Frosh did quite a lot to impose gun control in Maryland and the murder rate has not declined (in the areas where it has always been an issue, the rural areas have no such problems). People in Baltimore (a liberal run city where the Mayor gives rioters room to destroy the city and attack police) are being shot all the time and they are being shot by people who cannot pass a background check (a federal requirement) and who do not obtain firearms legally.
Though his reasoning is flawed because guns used for violence in Maryland do not, by and large, come from neighboring states (and those that do are obtained illegally by people who can’t legally buy or own them), Frosh’s statement shows that laws do not matter. He says that people can go to other states and buy guns and bring them here ILLEGALLY.
This import from other states is just not happening as people who are not otherwise excluded from firearms ownership do not complete these kinds of strawman purchases. Law abiding people are not breaking the law here, it is the unlawful who are doing so. So if they are already breaking the law how would another law change that?
Frosh is basically and idiot in human skin who suckles at the teat of government to get his paycheck. He is an elitist puke who thinks he can better determine how you should live your life than you can.
Brian ignores the fact that in the recent past while Americans have purchased over 170 million firearms violent crime has dropped by greater than 50%.
More legal guns means less crime.
Frosh has no clue as to what causes crime or why firearms are used. He has no clue as to how they are obtained. He wants strict control that will only affect those who actually obey the law.
But if he thinks I need a license to purchase a firearm I will be happy to show him mine.
It reads like this:
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
Notice the words OF THE PEOPLE and SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.
Like I stated earlier, Frosh is not a supporter of the Constitution
He should be in Gitmo…
Never surrender, never submit.

Ford Galaxy, a large MPV that was introduced back in 1995 is currently heading towards the end of its third generation with 2015 Ford Galaxy. The longest lasting generation will reach tenth jubilee year and after that, Ford will reveal a new model which will go on sale late in 2015 as a 2016 year model.
For now, Galaxy will be carried over one last time. Euro MPV is available with couple of petrol and three diesel engines. Petrol ones are 1.6L I-4 and 2.0L I-4 which make 160 and 200 horsepower respectively. Transmission comes as 6-speed manual or power shift automatic and you can expect for smallest gasoline unit to return 41.5 mpg while the larger and more powerful unit returns 34 mpg.
2015 Ford Galaxy Side
More fuel-efficient diesel powertrains come in 1.6L, 2.0L and 2.2L forms and deliver between 115 and 197 horsepower. The 2.0 liter turbo diesel is offered with either 140 hp or 163 depending on the tune state of the engine. Best fuel economy is retuned with 1.6 liter diesel that combines start/stop system and offers 54.3 mpg. From 2.0 liter version you can expect to see 53.3 mpg while the 2.2 model offers 41.5 mpg and these are all quite impressive figures.
Ford Galaxy Back
Galaxy is very similar to S-Max, but is bigger and slightly more luxurious. Low nose front end has striped trapezoid grille and rectangular stripy lower air intake with triangular headlights which nicely blend in together. At the rear, large window, thin roof pillars and trapezoid tail-lights finish what is a practical and spacious people mover.
2015 Ford Galaxy Interior
This 7-seater is a bit more luxury-oriented than other Ford minivans, but it isn’t a true luxury car by a long shot. Leather seats are available, but heated seats are optional even in highest grades of 2015 Ford Galaxy, and so are ventilated seats. Dashboard is flat and has a very good looking design with busy instrument panel positioned just below the three circular air-vents and covered cubicle above them. Handbrake, shifter, small cubby, CD player and optional 7-inch touch screen display are all found in the aforementioned instrument panel and center stack. Rear seat DVD entertainment system with couple of LCD screens and infrared headphones can also be had as an option. European market dictates the terms in which all advanced features come as an option and Galaxy’s safety features are no different. Even cruise control is optional with base models, while blind spot information system and adaptive cruise control with forward alert and hill start assist are optional across the lineup.
2015 Ford Galaxy Interior
Petrol engines are rated at 33 and 29 mpg combined, while diesel powertrains return better numbers which span from 33 mpg to 45 mpg combined. Mind you, these are Euro-cycle ratings and US numbers would be lower. Prices start at $43,500 for entry level model and go all the way to $51,500 for the top grades. Optional equipment choices which are plenty, only raise the prices higher.
Review Of 2015 Ford Galaxy
The 2015 Ford Galaxy is a luxuriously priced and rated MPV in conventional skin. It has quite solid fuel efficiency with diesel engines, but its prices are exorbitant, especially considering the fact that many features have to be paid extra. Expect to see this vehicle delivered to the market in the next few months after which we will have even more information’s about it.

Vapor blasting by water or steam and an abrasive is the most effective method and does not warp parts, if done carefully. Aluminum oxide-impregnated nylon matting, glass-bead blasting and aluminum oxide cloth are typical acceptable abrasives.
Dry grit or sand blasting tends to warp thin sheet materials; these methods are suited only for thick-section parts.

NOTE 1—No entirely foolproof method exists to determine bondability of a metal surface after preparation.
ASTM D2651 – 01(2016)
The major problem is to apply sufficient thickness of coating to prevent corrosion, but not so thick that the bond fails within the coating. Somewhat lower bond strength results from this method compared to other methods described. The high reactivity of magnesium requires that corrosion-preventative coatings be applied for most service applications. Exercise extreme care to ensure removal of all traces of the etchant. ASTM does not give any warranty express or implied or make any representation that the contents of this abstract are accurate, complete or up to date.

When the Josmeyer estate was certified as a biodynamic producer back in 2001, it was after a relatively smooth conversion. Founded in 1854 by Aloyse Meyer, Josmeyer was largely organic already. In fact, biodynamic production is not so uncommon in the small village of Wintzenheim, near Colmar in Alsace (a spot that enjoys one of the lowest annual rainfalls in the whole of France), largely due to its unique terroir. The Vosges Mountains act as a rain shield, keeping the areas around Wintzenheim dry and basked in sunlight which are ideal conditions for biodynamic and organic farming.
The 25 hectares of vineyards that make up Josmeyer are all located within three kilometres of Wintzenheim. A fifth of the domain is on the Grand Cru classified land of Brand and Hengst, which has been recognised for its exceptional vine-growing abilities for centuries.View Wines
Céline and Isabelle Meyer
The estate is still in the hands of the Meyer family. The late Jean Meyer took the helm in 1966 before management passed on to his daughters, Céline and Isabelle. The name Josmeyer came from Hubert Meyer in 1963, as an amalgamation of his father’s first name, Joseph, and their surname. This was in order to differentiate themselves from the many other Meyer families that were also making wine in the region.
Watch Céline Josmeyer’s interview with 67 Pall Mall, where she discusses the art of vinifying great dry white wines.
Josmeyer produces a wide range of varieties, mostly Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Gewürztraminer, but also small amounts of Pinot Noir, Muscat, and Sylvaner. These are grown using biodynamic treatments, such as cow horn manure, nettle and horsetail, and are grown densely to encourage the roots to deepen. They use cuttings from their best vines in order to propagate them, instead of the more common practice of cloning. The grapes themselves are hand-picked and are not de-stemmed, and the fermentation comes from indigenous yeasts found naturally on the grapes.
As Jean Meyer used to say, “A wine is like a pencil stroke.” This artistic theme continues to this day, with modern art gracing the labels of Josmeyer wines. But the greatest works of art are the wines themselves, which are fresh, elegant and subtle, each one crafted to be enjoyed with food.Location


‘Israel has banned Palestinian workers from riding common buses with Israelis and forced them to return to the West Bank through the same Israeli checkpoint they left.
The pilot program separating Israeli and Palestinian bus travel was initiated on Tuesday under the directive of Israel’s military affairs ministry, Haaretz reported on Wednesday.
The new regulations could increase the commute of Palestinians working in the West Bank for as much as two hours each day, said human rights organizations that are set to issue an appeal against the new restrictions.’
‘Prolonged international pressure seems to have had an impact on the world’s largest security company G4S. The company’s Chief Executive Officer Ashley Almanza has said it will not renew security contracts with Israeli prisons and checkpoints. The announcement was made after Almanza’s first meeting with the company’s shareholders on the fifth of June.
G4S maintains it is not complicit in any Israeli human rights violations. Almanza told the Financial Times, “We do not operate prisons, we supply prisons with security equipment.” However, after the current contracts end, the company has said it will not be renewing them.’
Social apartheid is part by forced exposure to celebrities, pointless and talentless but wealthy young and beautiful, as the way to live which isn’t helping to connect us but divide. Being poor means you live a life far removed from this glamour even with cheap imitation.
The Government demonises poverty, singling out one section of society, discriminating against disabled citizens on benefits. Brutalising the minimum wage income level gives lethargy and misery to work, only enjoyed by the poor.
The rich don’t work, we work for them. We are enslaved to worshipping the rich, those who have too much and yet logos, brand names, celebrity images does not equate a ‘real’ human being. Possessions does not equate a life and meaningful experience. The best things in life are for free and this we need our earth for.
It should be the other way round. If you have more than you need, you have taken from earth her vital resources she needs to survive. How selfish, how criminal for you to just take from her. If you have too much you should be guilty of decimating our planet for your gold, your riches and selfish wants.
The poor who live on subsistence living, live without possessions, without excess should be excelled as being kind to the most precious life of all, ourselves, and our planet. The rich should be despised for their contribution to being far removed from what life actually should and does mean.
Child poverty is now a bigger problem than during the 1960s, a damning report to be published this week has found. The report was carried out by the National Children’s Bureau and warns that Britain is at risk of becoming a place where ‘children’s lives are so polarised that rich and poor live in separate, parallel worlds.’
It blames a ‘failure of political will’ has resulted in poorer children having fewer chances in life today. The report compares children’s lives with data collected from a study called Born To Fail published in 1969.

George Ciccariello-Maher is a writer, organizer, and professor of politics and global studies at Drexel University. Here he picks 5 essential book for rethinking the history of communal power in Latin America and beyond. The Latin American commune dates to long before the events of Paris Never emerging fully-formed—why would we expect it to? Just as the Spanish comuna can encompass everything from a local community to a fully-fledged collectivist society, so too do we need to excavate the real, living history of the commune in a nuanced way that does not sacrifice social content to any predetermined form.
Like other moments before and after, the moderate aims of the rebellion were quickly outstripped by radical demands from below. While Amaru was anti-royalist, however, subsequent struggles would not line up so easily with our received categories. In Atlantic South America, religious communities like Jesuit reductions professed a utopian communalism while self-styled comuneros attacked them, motivated in no small part by hatred of indigenous people.
And in Brazil a century later, a movement for autonomy in Canudos would draw the ire of the modernizing, republican state. Canudos was not a commune in the strictest sense, although da Cunha nevertheless identified communal and communistic elements there.
