Camp Navarro, Calarian, Zamboanga City – August 20, 2021
Western Mindanao Command facilitated the distribution of food packs to the fire victims currently situated at Southcom Elementary School, Southcom Village, Calarian, this city.
Personnel from the Office of the Assistant Chief of Unified Command Staff for Civil-Military Operations, U7; 4th Civil Relations Group; and Joint Task Force Zamboanga distributed a total of 500 food packs to the victims at about 1:30 p.m. Thursday, August 19, 2021.
Said food packs were donated by one of Western Mindanao State University’s Professors, Prof. Teng Catong. The command also distributed a total of 100 cases of bottled water.
It can be recalled that a huge conflagration transpired at Camella Drive, Southcom Village on Wednesday afternoon. Said incident razed almost a hundred houses to the ground and displaced more or less 116 families.
“The military is always here to help the people in all possible ways. This our own little way to the return the assistance extended by the citizens in all our endeavors,” said Lt. Gen. Corleto Vinluan, Jr., Commander of Western Mindanao Command.
“We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to our stakeholders for assisting us in the realization of this relief operation,” Lt. Gen. Vinluan, Jr. added.


OMAHA (DTN) -- The Biden administration reportedly will delay the release of already late Renewable Fuel Standard volume proposals because of political concerns, according to a Reuters report citing two unnamed sources.
The biofuels puzzle continues to be as vexing for the Biden administration as it was for the Trump administration.
The ethanol industry -- which has been hit by a torrent of major court decisions that went against it, battles with the Trump administration over small-refinery exemptions and a loss of year-round E15 -- was expecting RFS volumes proposals for 2021 and 2022 in the coming weeks.
Reuters said Biden Chief of Staff Ron Klain was involved in "discussions" that have been ongoing for months from both oil and ethanol interests.
If true, the Biden White House's involvement in so-called biofuels negotiations is the first such report coming from the new administration.
The Trump administration tried unsuccessfully to bring both oil and ethanol interests to the table on several occasions between 2016 and 2020. (See https://www.dtnpf.com/…)
When it comes to 2021 RFS volumes, the EPA missed the June 30, 2020, deadline to issue a proposal. Such a proposal was to be finalized in November 2020. In addition, a 2022 volume proposal was due by June 2021 and finalized by November 2022.
The latest report comes on the same day a group of pro-petroleum senators introduced new legislation to remove corn ethanol from the RFS mandates.
Sens. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.; Pat Toomey, R-Pa.; Bob Menendez, D-N.J.; and Susan Collins, R-Maine, introduced the Corn Ethanol Mandate Elimination Act on Tuesday.
"The bill would help reduce carbon emissions from transportation fuels by removing the volume requirements for corn ethanol while leaving in place the volume obligations for advanced and cellulosic biofuels and biodiesel," the lawmakers said in a news release. (See https://www.feinstein.senate.gov/…)
The anti-corn-ethanol lawmakers are countered by a larger group of Midwest lawmakers from both parties who want to defend the RFS but also E15.
Sens. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., and Deb Fischer, R-Neb., led the introduction of a bill last week to allow the sale of year-round E15 after a federal appeals court threw out the Trump administration's year-round E15 rule.
Klobuchar and Fischer also lined up cosponsors, including Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst from Iowa, Jerry Moran and Roger Marshall of Kansas, and John Thune and Mike Rounds from South Dakota. On the Democratic side are Sens. Tina Smith of Minnesota, Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, and Sen. Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin.
Having Durbin and Thune as cosponsors adds some weight to their efforts since they are each the second-highest ranking members of their respective party leaderships in the Senate.
In the House, Rep. Angie Craig, D-Minn., introduced a companion bill E15 bill as well. Craig's bill now has 24 cosponsors -- 20 Republicans and four Democrats.
In late June, Klobuchar, Thune and Ernst also introduced bills to expand the availability of low-carbon fuels, which includes incentives to increase the use of higher blends of biofuels as well. The bills were introduced to ensure biofuels would not be dismissed as the Biden administration touts the growth of electric vehicles.
"Homegrown biofuels, especially higher-octane blends like E15, offer readily available emissions reductions that are mistakenly being overlooked in the current energy debate," Thune said when the low-carbon bills were introduced. "Biofuels not only support a critical market for our farmers and deepen American energy security, but they offer a lower-carbon fuel for domestic use and export without the unresolved costs, labor issues, and resource constraints of the all-in push for vehicle electrification."

The history of the department dates back to 1982, when the Urology Clinic of Minsk State Medical Institute acquired the Japanese echocardiograph Aloka SSD-110 S. A senior researcher at the kidney transplantation laboratory Pilatovič V. and doctor of the nephrological department Pačtaŭcaŭ A. began mastering the basics of echolocation diagnostics on the echocardiograph.
Since 1984, thanks to the effective help of the head of the clinic, professor, academician of the Academy of Sciences of the BSSR M. Saŭčanka, the urological building of the clinic was equipped with more modern equipment, and it was then that for the first time in Belarus endovascular bladder echoscopy, transrectal examination of the prostate and seminal vesicles, intraoperative renal echoscopy began to be used.
In 1986, an ultrasound diagnostic room was organized in the 4th City Clinical Hospital under the direction of Šablinski Ja In 1991, on his initiative, in the Healthcare Institution “4th City Clinical Hospital named after M. Saŭčanka”, an independent department of ultrasound endosurgery was organized.
Since January 2002, the department the first in the Republic of Belarus has begun to work around the clock.
Currently, the department is headed by a doctor of ultrasound diagnostics (manager) Kupava Aliesia Paŭlaŭna and senior nurse Iryna Mikalajeŭna Furs.
The department has four ultrasound diagnostic rooms, a surgical room for performing surgeries under echoscopic control, and a 24-hour emergency echoscopy room, which conducts ultrasound examinations of the abdominal region and retroperitoneal space, thyroid gland, mammary gland, prostate gland, organs of the scrotum and soft tissues, uterus and appendages.
The staff of the department makes a lot of efforts to improve its work in providing highly qualified care for patients in echolocation diagnostics, and providing surgical aids in the field of minimally invasive surgery.

(at around 1h 8 mins) On May 4th, 2007, while promoting the film on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (1992), Thomas Haden Church revealed that he broke three knuckles during the subway scene where he swings to punch Spider-Man and ends up punching a chunk of the wall away. Church said that the effects crew had told him that the brick in the middle was fake while the upper and lower ones were real. Unfortunately, the foam brick had not actually been put in place yet, and when Sam Raimi yelled 'action', Church spun around and punched the real brick on the first take.
All of the screams Kirsten Dunst had for this film were recycled from Spider-Man 2 (2004).
Bryce Dallas Howard performed her own stunts during the crane accident scene, unaware that she was pregnant at the time of filming.
There were many scenes that were shot but never released on DVD including a montage of Peter (in his black suit) taking down criminals and leaving them strung up, tons of character-building moments, a confrontation scene between Captain Stacy and Eddie Brock (where Gwen dumps him at her father's house) and Peter freaking out after he looks in a mirror and sees a nightmarish version of the Venom symbiote screaming at him.
Sam Raimi was deeply unhappy with how the film turned out. He had hoped that the planned fourth film would have made up for it.
While being in the Venom costume, Topher Grace didn't drink any water during his breaks because he couldn't use the bathroom with his costume on.
(at around 50 mins) In a fight scene where Spider-Man punches through Sandman's chest, congenital amputee boxer Baxter Humby took Tobey Maguire's place in filming the scene. Humby, who was born without his right hand, helped deliver the intended effect of punching through Sandman's chest.
According to James Franco, they had to go back and do some reshoots just prior to the release, because test audiences felt that there was not enough action in the film.
Harry's lab contains his father's Green Goblin mask, as well as a gold "Hobgoblin" mask from the comics.
This film combines all three Raimi brothers. Sam Raimi as the director, Ivan Raimi as one of the writers and Ted Raimi as an actor in the role of Hoffman.
Kirsten Dunst, a natural blonde, plays redhead Mary Jane, while Bryce Dallas Howard, a natural redhead, plays blonde Gwen Stacy.
This was Cliff Robertson's final film before his death on September 10, 2011 at the age of 88.
To prepare for his role as Venom, Topher Grace worked out for six months, gaining 24 pounds of muscle. He based his performance on alcoholics and drug addicts.
According to Bryce Dallas Howard on the DVD commentary, the actor who plays the photographer during the crane accident scene performed magic for her at a birthday party when she was in the second grade.
Not only was there a fourth installment planned but also a fifth installment and a sixth installment were planned as well.
It took three years to create the visual effects required to portray the Sandman's powers. To understand the dynamics of sand, various experiments were conducted with sand (launching sand at stunt men, splashing the stuff around, and pouring it over ledges). Sand sculptors were also consulted for advice.
Real sand was used for Sandman, except when characters were being buried or covered in sand. Since real sand would have been a possible hazard for such scenes, ground up corncobs were used instead.
Both Topher Grace and Thomas Haden Church confessed that when they were unceremoniously invited to meetings at Sony, they had no idea they would be auditioning for this film.
The photograph of Mary Jane next to Peter's police scanner is the picture he took of her at the science exhibit in Spider-Man (2002).
(at around 1h 50 mins) Eddie's line - "My spider-sense is tingling... if you know what I'm talking about!" - when referring to MJ, was Topher Grace's idea.
The release date for the film was set before Spider-Man 2 (2004) was even released.
Reportedly an early draft had John Jameson, the astronaut from Spider-Man 2 (2004), returning from a space mission with the symbiote as a stowaway. To save time and money, this was eliminated in favor of having the meteorite just happen to land next to Peter Parker. The space mission story was reused for Venom (2018) but instead, Riot was the symbiote instead.
Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire were the driving forces that got Sandman into this film. During press interviews for the first two Spider-Man films, Raimi and Maguire repeatedly mentioned Sandman as a villain they would like to see in the third film.
Over 1000 people worked on the film, some of them putting in the 8000 hours needed to construct the 40 Spider-Man suits and others writing complicated CGI software.
(at around 40 mins) During Stan Lee's cameo in the film, he uses the catch phrase "'nuff said", which he used frequently in the comics to end short editor's notes inside the panels.
Elisha Cuthbert and Scarlett Johansson were both considered for the role of Gwen Stacy.
Sam Raimi is the first director to helm three installments in a superhero franchise. At the time Bryan Singer had only made 2 X-Men movies and Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher each did two Batman movies. Christopher Nolan is second with his Dark Knight Trilogy. Bryan Singer became third when he returned for X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014).
Originally, director Sam Raimi vehemently opposed having Venom as a villain in the film, claiming he hated Venom's "lack of humanity," but Marvel producer Avi Arad convinced him to include the character, explaining that Venom had a strong worldwide following. Raimi eventually came to appreciate the character, based on writer Alvin Sargent's script and actor Topher Grace's performance. However, to keep Venom's appearance a secret, he claimed during the film's casting and production that he hated the character, and had no intention of including the character in this film or any subsequent sequels. To make amends, he then treated the audience at the 22 July 2006 San Diego Comic-Con to the first public images of Venom in the film, albeit with unfinished special effects.
Opened in 4,252 theaters, more than any other movie before, beating out the former record-holder Shrek 2 (2004) which opened in 4,223 theaters. The record was then beaten by Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007), which opened in 4,362 theaters in the US.
In the comics, the symbiote was a flowing sentient liquid ooze. Sam Raimi was very clear on the film's portrayal of the symbiote: he wanted it to have character, but not to resemble a spider or octopus. As portrayed in the film, it possesses a webbing form (it was composed of many separate CGI threads) that gives it a sense of life and an appearance of gripping onto someone's body.
(at around 10 mins) When the symbiote attaches to Peter's motorcycle license plate, it takes on the shape of a V (for Venom).
Thomas Haden Church was offered the role of Sandman on the strength of his performance in Sideways (2004). He accepted the part despite the fact that there was no script.
At 140 minutes, (or 2 hours and 20 minutes), this is the longest of the original three Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies.
Originally, Dylan Baker's Curt Connors was meant to mutate into the Lizard and become the main villain for this film. There is a lizard skeleton in Dr. Connors' laboratory that foreshadows this metamorphosis. Another hint is the fact that his right arm is missing: in the comics he tried to restore it using reptile DNA, which led to his transformation. The Lizard story was filmed, with Rhys Ifans in place of Baker, for the reboot movie The Amazing Spider-Man (2012).
Alvin Sargent secured a seven figure deal to rewrite Spider-Man 2 (2004) and work on this film.
The character of Eddie Brock/Venom, as portrayed in this film, is an amalgamation of his "Amazing Spider-Man" (an obsessive journalist) and "Ultimate" (a skinny young man with a crush on Gwen Stacy) versions. This was done to present Eddie Brock as a shadowy reflection of Peter Parker (which shows that Peter Parker, when affected by the symbiote, starts to act like Eddie).
According to composer Christopher Young, the Sandman's theme was composed with two contrabass saxophones, two contrabass clarinets, two contrabrass bassoons and eight (very low) French horns to describe Sandman as "heavy and aggressive." Venom's theme was meant to make him sound "vicious and demonic" and used eight French horns.
After Peter tells Mr. Ditkovitch that he'll get his rent when he fixes the door, and goes to the window, on the bookcase next to the window is The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson, a story of man's duality, much like the "dark" Peter Parker in this movie.
(at around 1h 50 mins) The font of Venom's web message is the same font used for the title of the comic, Sensational Spider-Man.
When production started, the computer programs to render the Sandman and his capabilities had not been developed. As production progressed, these programs were completed but the amount of man-hours put in to meet the deadlines were astronomical.
Over 600 latex "web" balloons for the rally scene were hand-painted with a Sharpie marker.
The film's visual effects designer, Scott Stokdyk, created a miniature of a skyscraper section at 1/16th scale, instead of using CGI, to save time and costs, and so that damage done to the building could be portrayed realistically.
The demanding shoot in Cleveland meant that a section in downtown was closed down. The pavements had to be repainted to resemble those in NY. Traffic signs and electricity poles were removed for stunts. The shooting schedule also overlapped with the start of the MLB season for the Indians as well as the NBA playoffs for the Cavaliers and the heavier-than-usual traffic had to be re-routed. Despite all this, it is reported that the people of Cleveland welcomed the crew and didn't complain about the disruption the shoot caused.
In June 2017, 10 years after the movie premiered, an editors cut of the movie was released. It features a few extra scenes, that never made it to the original cut. However, a lot of scenes shown in trailers and promos from 2007, are not a part of the editors cut. A worldwide petition currently exists, to have the movie released with all the deleted scenes - similar to how Spider-Man 2.1 was made.
To prepare for his role as the Sandman, Thomas Haden Church worked out for 16 months, losing ten pounds of fat and gaining 28 pounds of muscle. He based his performance on misunderstood monsters, like the Golem from The Golem (1920), Frankenstein (1931)'s monster, and King Kong (1933).
Release prints were delivered to theaters in three parts, each with a fake title. Reels 1, 3, 5, "Two Timing Friend". Reels 2 and 4, "Back for More". Reels 6 and 7, "Listening Heart".
As of 2008, this was the most successful film domestically in the U.S. not to be nominated for an Academy Award. It has since been replaced by The Dark Knight Rises (2012), The Hunger Games (2012), and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013).
The film's IMAX screenings reached $20 million in 30 days, faster than any other 2D film remastered in the format.
Partial scenes, where Spider-Man is hanging from the back of an armored car, were filmed in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, due to high shooting costs in New York City.
According to Grant Curtis, in early production the Vulture was originally going to be in the movie, and Ben Kingsley was involved in negotiations to play him before the character's story line was replaced by Venom. Kingsley later appeared in Iron Man 3 (2013) as another classic Marvel villain, the Mandarin. Vulture finally hit the big screen ten years later in Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017).
This film was reportedly the most expensive film ever made in U.S. dollars, with a green-lit budget of $250 million. However, with the ground-up development of revolutionary CGI, the astronomical costs of shooting on location in New York (reportedly at $1 million per day) and extensive re-shoots which over-ran the production schedule an additional 8 months, have led many industry insiders to speculate a final tab of $350 Million or more in production costs alone. If this figure is true, then only Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007) comes in second with a final budget of $300 million.
Composer Danny Elfman does not return to provide the musical score for this film, citing creative differences with director Sam Raimi during Spider-Man 2 (2004). Instead, Christopher Young composes the film's score. In December 2006, however, producer Grant Curtis announced that Elfman had begun collaborating with Young on the film's score music. Interestingly, Elfman turned down this film for Charlotte's Web (2006), which is also about a spider who uses her talents to do good. Raimi and Elfman reunited for Oz The Great and Powerful (2013).
SERIES TRADEMARK: [song]: (at around 48 mins) During the celebration scene the band plays an alternate rendition of the Spider-Man (1967) TV show theme while Spider-Man ascends to the stage. However, the song is absent from the closing credits for the first time in this series.
James Franco was doing this movie and filming Pineapple Express (2008) at the same time.
The name of the character Mr. Ditkovitch clearly recalls the name of the co-creator of Spider-Man, Steve Ditko.
A sequel was in development and was going to feature Dr. Curt Connor's turn into The Lizard and feature Carnage. But after some disputes over the script and Sam Raimi, the movie was cancelled in favor of a reboot.
The font used for the posters of the play Mary Jane appears in, was originally designed for the first Fantastic Four logo.
The alien symbiote's main weakness is that it is susceptible to high ultra-sonic sounds. This weakness is also shared by Daredevil, another Marvel Comics character.
The animators at Sony Pictures Imageworks based Venom's movements on big cats like tigers, panthers and cheetahs.
Phil Saunders, one of the art crew members, says that production designer Neil Spisak was let go just a few weeks into principal photography. J. Michael Riva was subsequently hired for the remainder of principal filming and re-shoots. However, both Spisak and Riva are credited in the main titles sequence.
In other earlier scripts of the film, the Lizard and Electro were planned to be the antagonists, rather than Venom and the Sandman. However, the Lizard appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) while Electro appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014).
John Dykstra, who won an Oscar for his work as visual effects supervisor on Spider-Man 2 (2004), had declined to work on the third film. Instead, Dykstra chose to work on Hot Wheels. Scott Stokdyk took over as visual effects supervisor.
The sixth most expensive movie to date (October 2015), and the most expensive movie not belonging to Disney. The five most expensive movies, all of which are owned by Disney, from least to most expensive are Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011), Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007), Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), John Carter (2012) and Tangled (2010).
As of 2017, this is the most recent live-action Spider-Man movie to feature the character J. Jonah Jameson. In the movies with Andrew Garfield as Parker, Jameson was mentioned but remained off-camera; in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Tom Holland as Parker, J.K. Simmons returned to reprise J. Jonah Jameson in Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019).
A scene of Spider-Man battling a giant Sandman at a construction site was previously done in the cartoon Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends: Spider-Man: Unmasked! (1983).
This was the first Spider-Man film to not contain a reflection of the main villain in Spider-Man's eye on the poster.
(at around 5 mins) The song that Mary Jane performs on stage is from the Irving Berlin stage play "Annie Get Your Gun".
Last film appearance for Hal Fishman. He passed away 3 months after Spider-Man 3's release date.
Some of the track and electrical hardware in the subway sets were on loan from SEPTA in Philadelphia and came from the city's Broad St. Subway.
Sam Raimi had previously considered Thomas Haden Church for a role in The Gift (2000).
Sam Raimi stated in an interview that he has no interest of seeing Carnage in a live action movie, as he said that about Venom. However, he said that Toxin would make a cameo in future Spider-Man movies, without Carnage.
The villains' meeting would have seen Eddie coming across Flint pretending to be sand in a playground for his little girl to play on. Talking to Flint, Eddie would have convinced him that his girl may be cured yet.
Adrian Lester had as cameo as a research scientist who is sought after by the Sandman to find a cure for his ailing daughter. He was seen in one teaser trailer for the film; however, his scenes were cut from the final theatrical version.
(at around 37 mins) In the background, you can see a Charles Manson news article for the Daily Bugle framed and hanging on the wall.
The Spider-Man trilogy has been turned into the basis of a lot facial memes (especially when it's an emotional scene with Peter Parker).
There were plans for a Spider-Man 4, Spider-Man 5, and a Spider-Man 6. Sadly, they were all cancelled due to poor reception from this movie.
Rosemary Harris later appeared with Marisa Tomei, one of her successors as Aunt May Parker, in Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007).
The film's cast includes two Oscar winners: Cliff Robertson and J.K. Simmons, and five Oscar nominees: Thomas Haden Church, James Cromwell, Willem Dafoe, James Franco, Rosemary Harris.
Originally, Sam Raimi didn't want to include Venom in the movie as he wasn't a fan of the character. However, he was pushed by Sony to include Venom as a sort of fan service. That being said, fans did not like this iteration of Venom, particularly because Brock does not become Venom until towards the end.
Sandman's theme uses "two contrabass saxophones, two contrabass clarinets, two contrabass bassoons and eight very low French horns" to sound "low, aggressive and heavy". Christopher Young described Venom's theme as "Vicious, my instructions on that one were that he's the devil personified. His theme is much more demonic sounding." Venom's theme uses eight French horns. Sam Raimi approved the new themes during their first performance, but rejected the initial music to the birth of Sandman, finding it too monstrous and not tragic enough. Young had to recompose much of his score at a later stage, as the producers felt there were not enough themes from the previous films. Ultimately, new themes for the love story, Aunt May, and Mary Jane were dropped.
During breaks in filming, James Franco read works by William Shakespeare, Geoffrey Chaucer and John Milton.
Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Rosemary Harris, Willem Dafoe, Cliff Robertson, J.K. Simmons, Elizabeth Banks, Bill Nunn, Bruce Campbell, Ted Raimi, John Paxton and Stan Lee are the only actors who appear in all three films of Sam Raimi Spider-Man Trilogy.
The name of the character who replaces MJ in the play is Andrea Rubin; Sam Raimi's sister is named Andrea.
The film is considered to be the Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005) and X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) of the Spider-Man trilogy as the film follows Peter Parker/Spider-Man as he succumbs to his darker side when the symbiote assimilates him and his Spider-Man outfit. Revenge of the Sith is about Anakin Skywalker turning to the dark side and becoming Darth Vader and The Last Stand is about Jean Grey succumbing to her darker side and returning from the dead as Phoenix.
While Spider-Man (2002) and Spider-Man 2 (2004) were released on DVD in separate widescreen and full screen editions, Spider-Man 3 was released on DVD in widescreen only.
Included in "The A to Z of Superhero Movies: From Abar to ZsaZsa via the MCU", written by Rob Hill.
Dr. Connors warns Peter not to let the substance touch him, as it has symbiotic properties and needs a host to survive. As seen in the film, the symbiote affects the behavior of the host. There are examples of this in nature. In the Peruvian amazon scientists found a type of "zombie fungus" that infects a certain type of beetle. As it invades the beetle's system it grows long stalks that produce spores at the tips. The Fungus triggers a panic behavior that forces the beetle to stop its normal activities, find the stalk of a plant or the side of a tree, and climb as high as it can and, as its strength fails, to latch on. The fungus continues to draw nutrients from the now-dead beetle until the spores are ready to be released.

House Freedom Caucus chair admits GOP has bupkis, demands full, immediate repeal anyway
Over at CNN, MJ Lee reports that the Republican natives are getting restless:
Republicans begin to grumble: Why haven't we repealed Obamacare yet?
...The sentiment is beginning to simmer within the influential conservative wing of the Republican Party and hints at what could be the opening of an intra-party rift as the GOP's mission to overhaul the country's health care system appears to be losing steam.
...That shift in tone has irked other Republicans who are eager to take a swift vote to roll back as much of Obamacare as possible. Their fear: their conservative constituents back home won't settle for anything else.
"For goodness sake, we should be able to put something on President Trump's desk that's at least as good as what we put on President Obama's desk. Not something watered down," Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told CNN in an interview. "Let's repeal it. Let's do what the voters sent us here to do."
Their "fear" took on more validity the other evening when Donald Trump himself basically admitted that they're gonna be treading water until 2018 at the earliest:
President Donald Trump said the process for coming up with a replacement for the Affordable Care Act could stretch into 2018, a longer time frame than he previously indicated.
Trump’s comments came in an interview with Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly that aired on Sunday during the Super Bowl pregame show. O’Reilly asked the president whether he would introduce a health plan this year to replace Obamacare, which Trump has long vowed to quickly repeal as one of his top priorities.
“Maybe it’ll take till some time into next year, but we are certainly going to be in the process,” Trump said in the interview. “I would like to say by the end of the year, at least the rudiments, but we should have something within the year and the following year.”
Of course, when it comes to Trump, anything he says now could easily change 5 minutes later, so who the hell knows?
This is the part of the CNN story which really caught my eye, however. Mark Meadows is the chair of the "Freedom Caucus", basically the ultra-Tea Party wing of the GOP:
"I don't know that there's any new revelations that are going to come up by waiting 60 to 90 more days," Meadows said. "We're making the whole idea of repeal and replacement far more complex and laborious than it needs to be and I think it's time that we just make some decisions and move forward with (the repeal bill)."
On considering anything less than what was voted on in 2015, Meadows quipped: "You don't get any credit with any of your constituents if you do that."
As I noted a week ago, the Republican Party is finally starting to realize that when it comes to a real replacement for the ACA, they don't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of. That's why they're scrambling to come up with something, anything that resembles a coherent "plan" and can't even decide on which word to use to describe whatever it is anymore.
But that's not gonna stop Rep. Meadows, no sirree!!
"So what if pushing 20-30 million people out of an airplane without a parachute is a terrible idea! So what if most of them are the ones who voted for us! They demanded that we push them out, so by God, let's do so!! That way they'll "give us credit" as they plummet to the ground!"


Kid Ory relocated to California from New Orleans in 1919. Ory formed his Original Creole Jazz Band (they sometimes were billed as Kid Ory’s Brown-Skinned Babies) the same year and played residencies in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Oakland up until 1925.
Spike’s Seven Pods of Pepper Orchestra was the name that Kid Ory’s Original Creole Jazz Band recorded under in 1922 for the Sunshine label, which only released three records, all which featured Ory’s band. The records were also released under the name of the Sunshine Band. The label was run by two brothers, John and Reb Spikes. The records sold in their music store at 12th and Central Avenue in Los Angeles.
Although only 5000 of these records were printed, the two tracks were the first jazz recordings made by an African-American band from New Orleans and they are a fine example of the New Orleans ensemble style of playing. It is interesting to compare this 1922 version of “Ory’s Creole Trombone” with the version of “Ory’s Creole Trombone” that he recorded five years later with Louis Armstrong and his Hot Five.
The band had also recorded two Blues records a month earlier on the Sunshine label. The first under the name of Ruth Lee accompanied by Ory’s Sunshine Orchestra and the other being Roberta Dudley accompanied by Ory’s Sunshine Orchestra.

BMW announced the U.S. Market extension of BMW’s global Wireless Charging Pilot Program. The pilot program began in Germany in 2018 and has recently expanded to include the U.S.
The pilot program is available in the state of California for 200 interested, qualifying residential home customers who are able to charge inside an enclosed garage space. Availability is based on 200-equally equipped 530e program lease vehicles.
The pre-qualification process begins with an online questionnaire at https://www.qmerit.com/bmwwireless to help determine location suitability. The next step involves a 530e Readiness Survey about the garage and local electric grid. Approved participants will then receive a confirmation number to take to one of 33 participating CA dealers to complete the 36-month lease of the 530e Sedan. Qmerit will then complete the residential hardware installation.
All costs, expenses and expenditures associated with the initial installation, maintenance and de-installation of the Ground Pad Module are covered by BMW. Participating dealers cover thirteen CA counties including San Francisco, San Mateo, Contra Costa, Alameda and Sonoma counties in Northern CA and Orange, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Santa Clara, Ventura, Riverside and San Bernardino counties in southern CA.
BMW Wireless Charging enables electric energy from a main power supply, via installed GroundPad, to be transmitted to a vehicle’s high-voltage battery without any cables – when the vehicle is positioned over an induction base pad. This can be installed in the garage, for example, and the charging process started as soon as the vehicle has been parked in position without any further input from the driver. The launch of this technology sees the BMW Group move another step closer to an infrastructure that will make charging the battery of an electrified vehicle even simpler than refueling a car with a conventional engine.
BMW Wireless Charging consists of an Inductive Charging Station (GroundPad) and a secondary vehicle component (CarPad) fixed to the underside of the vehicle. The contactless transfer of energy between the GroundPad and CarPad is conducted over a distance of around three inches. The GroundPad generates a magnetic field. In the CarPad an electric current is induced, which then charges the high-voltage battery.
The system has a charging power of 3.2 kW, enabling the high-voltage batteries on board the BMW 530e iPerformance to be fully charged in around three-and-a-half hours. And with an efficiency rate of around 85 per cent.
Inductive charging: even easier than refueling
BMW Wireless Charging employs the same inductive charging technology already widely used for supplying power to devices such as mobile phones and electric toothbrushes to now also recharge the high-voltage batteries in electrified vehicles. The principal benefit here is ease of use, as drivers no longer need to plug in a charging cable. Instead, as soon as the vehicle has been parked in the correct position above the inductive Charging Station, followed by a simple push of the Start/Stop button, the charging process is initiated. Once the battery is fully charged, the system switches off automatically.
BMW Wireless Charging also helps the driver to maneuver their 530e into the correct parking position with the help of a WiFi connection between the charging station and vehicle. An overhead view of the car and its surroundings is displayed in center Control Display with colored lines that help guide the driver into the correct spot. A graphic icon shows when the correct parking position for inductive charging has been reached. This can deviate from the optimum position by up to 2.75 inches longitudinally and up to 5.5 inches laterally. All components that conduct electricity are protected from rain and snow, and driving over the GroundPad will not damage it in any way.
During charging, ambient electromagnetic radiation is limited to the vehicle undercarriage. The GroundPad is permanently monitored and will be switched off if any foreign matters are detected.

A generation ago, nobody knew about fat. Now everybody's talking about it, even those who spent decades in the kitchen slathering their Christmas concoctions with butter and Crisco.
Wednesday, Yale-New Haven Hospital's Madison pre-admission office sponsored a talk by a nutritionist to help bring holiday baking into the '90s.
Ellen Liskov, a registered nutritionist in Guilford, offered some practical advice to the half-dozen women in attendance at the office on Woodland Road.
"Most of us are going to eat a lot of this stuff in the next few weeks unless we're really disciplined," Liskov said. "But if you're careful, you can get to January first with minimal weight gain."
She told the women, who offered their own family recipes for her scrutiny, that they could cut out hundreds of calories and a heap of cholesterol by reducing the amount of fat or replacing it with substitutes such as fruit and nonfat cheeses. Liskov drew gasps when she announced that one tablespoon of cooking oil has 15 grams of fat and almost 150 calories.
She suggested raisins rather than chocolate chips, granola for crushed pecans and yogurt as a substitute for cream cheese. The women took notes while munching on low-fat Entenmann's brownies, doughnuts and cookies.
But Liskov said that what she had done -- bringing even low-fat treats and leaving them out for people to consume -- was the worst thing you could do for a dieter.
"At a party, do not sit in front of foods," she said. "When it's just sitting there in front of you, you can waste a couple of hundred calories."
Doris Armstrong said she was becoming more conscientious about her eating habits. She said she will try to reconstruct her old recipe for trifle, cutting down on the pudding and whipped cream.
"I think I am careful; I don't know why I have high cholesterol," Armstrong said. "My mother lived to be 93, and she did everything wrong. It's all in your genes, but I try. It's not difficult, really."
Liskov said she was only preaching practicality.
"Healthy doesn't mean deprivation," she said. "Reduced-fat food just feels a little tackier, and the taste takes some getting used to."
The hospital's pre-admission office every month offers presentations by health care professionals. The next one will be a Medicare billing seminar by the billing manager at the hospital, Jan. 17 at 6:30 p.m. at the pre-admission center. In February, the center will hold a session on prostate cancer. No date has yet been set for that event.

Security essentials for CIOs: Educating everyone to guard the cloud
Think of the cloud as a far-away town, with its customers occupying houses there. The town may have sensible laws and a diligent police force, but it's up to the home-owners to lock their doors, set up motion detectors and keep the kids from lending out their keys.
How can CIOs create a secure cloud environment? In a recent Ponemon Institute report, over 60% of surveyed US and European cloud service providers said they were unsure if their cloud applications were sufficiently secured. This IBM white paper outlines how the company uses a set of seven security essentials to better guard the cloud.

Because Kandy was the last capital of the Sinhalese Kingdom, before the British came to rule in 1815, there is plenty of history and tradition remaining in this loyal city.
Kandy is home to some of the nicest boutique hotels nestled among the scenic hills and these are a great way to base yourself for a relaxing holiday while enjoying the culture and tradition of the popular Kandy tourist attractions.
Also known as Sri Dalada Maligawa, is one of the most sacred Buddhist pilgrimage site in the world. This is a royal palace complex that preserves the left canine tooth relic of Lord Buddha. Built during the 17th century, this Temple is well preserved till today and visited by many thousands of devotees and tourists from around the world.
This shrine has always played an important role in politics because there is a belief that whoever is in possession of the relic is the one who holds the governance of the country. In 1987, a golden canopy was built over the main shrine and this made the Temple easily identifiable from far away. Due to the significances that this sacred relic is known for it is one of the best places to visit in Kandy and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Located in the heart of the city, the Kandy Lake is a man-made lake created by the last King of the Sinhalese Kingdom, in the year 1807. Also known as Kiri Muhuda or Sea of Milk, the Lake is protected against fisherman and is used for leisure activities such as boat riding. A stroll around the lake is an ideal evening activity which will also show you around the hustle bustle of the city of Kandy that has developed around the Lake. The best part to walk around is the area where the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic is located.
Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe was the King who built this lake by excavating paddy fields in an effort to beautify the Temple of the Tooth. Bordering most of the lake you will see a decorative clouds wall which was also built by the King but was left incomplete because the British force invaded and imprisoned the King. The triangular holes that you see in the wall were used to light oil lamps at night during those days.
The name ‘royal’ is implied because the history of these botanic gardens dates as far back as the 14th century where Royal Kings of the Sinhalese Kingdom kept their courts. A Temple was also built on this location but then destroyed during the British rule. The British then brought in several plants from around the island and implemented the Royal Botanical Gardens as a Kandy tourist attraction.
These gardens are located in Peradeniya, about five and a half kms from Kandy and are home to over 4000 species of plants visited by approximately two million tourists every year. Known for its unique collection of orchids, the Royal Gardens can easily be classified as one of the best of its kind. In addition to orchids, the botanic gardens also hold a variety of spices, medicinal plants and palm trees. The garden is about 147 hectares large and is currently managed by the Department of Agriculture.
This festival is a grand celebration which includes elegant costumes, traditional dances, jugglers, fire breathers and elephants dressed in exclusive clothing. The significance of this historic procession is to pay respect to the Sacred Tooth Relic that the city holds. If you are visiting Sri Lanka around July/August, be sure to schedule your stay in Kandy on nights when this procession is taking place.
The Esala Procession begins with the sanctifying of a young jackfruit tree and signifies blessings showered on the Kings and the people. Believed to be a mix of two separate, yet interconnected processions, the Esala Perahera initially began as a prayer to God to request rainfall.
After ten nights of continuous dance and music in traditional forms, the festival ends with a water cutting ceremony at the bank of the Mahaweli River. Monks of the Buddhist Clergy in Sri Lanka are responsible for the organizing of the event. Being one of the oldest and grandest Buddhist festival in the country, it is definitely a must see event.

If you are on a Sri Lankan tea tour, this is an essential stop on your list of places to visit in Kandy. Even if you are not, you have to know where the first successful tea cultivation was done in a land that exports tea on a grand scale. About 5km from Kandy city is the Hantane Tea Factory where the Ceylon Tea Museum is located.

Featured films depict a wide range of topics, from human strife and struggle to the joys of new love, and from controversial issues to humorous adaptations of age-old stories. The festival, which runs through Feb. 17, will be showing films at Reading Cinemas 14 (4665 Clairemont Drive), City of Carlsbad — Dove Library (1775 Dove Lane), San Marcos Stadium 18 (1180 W. San Marcos Blvd.) and Garfield Theatre (4126 Executive Drive). For information, including ticket prices, show times and film trailers, visit www.sdcjc.org/sdjff/index.aspx or call (858) 362-1348.
A sampling of films:
‘A Day in the Negev’
Examining life and events in San Diego’s sister city, the Sha’ar HaNegev, located in the southern region of Israel, the film exhibits more than 30 shorts created by students at Sapir College.
(Guest Speaker: Negev’s visiting professor from Sapir College and graduate student of Sapir College)
Descendants of some of the most infamous names in human history — Himmler, Goering or Hoess, for example — have learned to strike a balance between the inclination to look-up to one’s parents and the horror at what they were capable of.
‘The First Fagin’
Isaac “Ikey” Solomon, the real-life inspiration for Charles Dicken’s Fagin (from “Oliver Twist”), is the focus of this docudrama, which delves into the details of Soloman’s life. Starting as a pickpocket, Solomon moved on to become one of the most infamous, yet “honorable” — he claimed to do everything for the sake of his wife — crooks of the Victorian Age.
‘Method to the Madness: Jerry Lewis’ Never-before-seen footage of the comic great abounds in this documentary that will bring you face-to-face with
the charisma and show-business acumen of Jerry Lewis. On stage since the age of 5, his show-biz career spans more than eight decades.
This heartbreaking drama centers on a family coming to terms with a transgender son. Kicked out of his home as a teenager, Anna (formerly Assaf) returns to the fold in near-secret as a nurse tending to her dying father. Forgiveness and acceptance are the central themes to this film about the bonds of family.
‘Battle for Brooklyn’
Not everyone was thrilled that the New Jersey Nets would relocate to become the Brooklyn Nets — because developing a basketball arena meant bulldozing many beloved buildings in Brooklyn’s historic Pros- pect Heights neigh-borhood.
The fight against this demolition is the subject of this powerful documentary centered on a reluctant activist, Daniel Goldstein, a graphic designer whose apartment was in the line of fire.
Eli is your typical Bar Mitzvah boy — a 13-year-old barely out of childhood — but put him on the competitive breakdance floor, and he’s E-Break, part of nationally recognized breakdancing crew.

Indian summers come and go but in spite of the cold approach of autumn, the yelping must go on. And on it did, during this fine but blustery evening, for the latest in Elite event finery here in Leeds. The agenda was set for a night of artful musings, vegan cake antics and fine food sampling for some thirty folk in the delightful Café 164 and beautiful brand new Leeds Gallery.
As folks were welcomed into the warm the scarves and coats were ditched in place of a glass of bubbly rosé, complete with chopped strawberries, whilst the event got underway. Everyone had a chance to mingle and admire the new collection within the café, a thought provoking selection of pieces by Kaisa Breska whose work is inspired by a journey to the French Pyrenees, exploring the wild and rustic landscape of high mountains, whilst awaiting the remainder of the party to arrive.
Soon enough it was time to take a browse around the fabulous exhibition within the Leeds Gallery, which is directly linked to Café 164, after a small introduction by Ellie who explained the ethos behind the venture, and noted that it is indeed Leeds' first commercial gallery. With glasses refreshed folks took in the photographic work of Terry O'Neill – 50 Years At The Top; an astonishing collection of photographs which forms a who's who of cinema, rock and pop music, theatre and fashion over five decades, and discussed which images struck them the most. Whether it was Michael Caine, complete with shotgun, (Ian C's favourite) or Elton John, standing in front of thousands, (Laura J's favourite) there were plenty of fabulous famous faces to play who's who with and take in the photographic skill Terry O'Neill has developed over the years.
The fun hadn't nearly finished by that point, as everyone was gathered back into the café for a special introduction to vegan cake making, by the wonderful Elly of That Old Chestnut; a fantastic home-grown company who provide Café 164 (and many others about town) with some of their awesomely flavoursome fare. Elly began by explaining the roots of her company and then delved into explaining how simple it can be to create delicious bites, without having to rely on the use of animal products.
After that Elly demonstrated how to create vegan icing, using margerine instead of butter, as everyone watched on desperate to try out the cakes. (Some were even tempted to lick the icing bowl, but fortunately we've a little more decorum than that here in Leeds, so everyone waited patiently for a slice!) With a quick-step lesson in icing the cakes, demonstrating which tools can be utilised for a more professional look, the samples were sliced up for folks to have a try of the delightfully rich chocolate cake and the beautifully sweet carrot cake Elly had prepared.
Whilst the cake samples were being readied, everyone got a chance to try out some of the sandwich bites that are available for lunch in Café 164, which disappeared in a flash! Amongst a number of options, folks nibbled away the meatballs and mozzerella, peppered mackeral and houmous bites, all prepared freshly on the night with the café's finest foccacia bread. With glasses again being charged, this time with a choice of red or white wine, everyone took in a second plateful to enjoy the cakes – which also disappeared at speed!
And finally, after a long evening of artful musings, sandwich sampling and cake tasting folks had one final glass of wine, for the road, and had a chance to spin the Wheel Of Yelp. Everyone was a winner, taking home a number of different delightful prices, amongst the most coveted: Yelp's Fingerless Gloves… It was another delightful evening of the finest things in Leeds, supplying further fuel to the independent's fire, as we celebrated the best of the best of the locally grown.
Don't just take my word for it though! Have a gander at what these chaps thought:
"Another Corker! Well done Row, Sara, Ellie and Elly! A really lovely event with such a relaxed atmosphere that I could have stayed here all night chatting, supping and eating the most delicious sandwiches and licking the plate to ensure that all remnants of cake were devoured! I'm not sure how long Cafe 164 has been open, but they are sorted. The food was amazing and Leeds Gallery next door makes for a lovely venture away from the focaccia and cake… or are you supposed to come for the art and have a cuppa after?! Which makes me sound more cultured?" April K
"The chocolate cake was delicious and when I tried the dark chocolate that they made it with, I was pleasantly surprised that it actually tasted of chocolate. The little sandwiches were to die for and had such scrummy contents. I told the staff that I would be back to try their coffee which is reasonably priced and maybe a bite to eat. Altogether a brilliant night as usual. The staff were friendly and informative and I can't wait for the next one. Thanks to all." Douglas P
The hugest thanks goes out to Sara and Ellie of Café 164 and the Leeds Gallery for their wonderful hosting, warm welcome and delightful bites, and Elly of That Old Chestnut, whose insight into vegan recipes was informative, funny and fabulous. The whole evening was a delight, and would not have been complete without the fantastic Matthew Kitchen, whose photographs have captured every marvellous moment! As ever you can catch up on the reviews and pictures for yourselves.
That's me, signing out, after another incredible evening….


Cattle in the world’s two largest producing nations are in crises and, therefore, for the world’s largest beef importer as well. The latest U.S. blizzard is escalating the cattle shortage. Unlike hogs, chickens and the humans who eat them, beef cattle cannot seek shelter to fatten up or even survive, as they are raised outdoors. Extreme conditions threaten our current most prized protein source since cold temperatures make giving birth, gaining the weight needed for sale and even keeping water unfrozen difficult. The drought in our western states has caused a multi-year shortage of cattle and subsequent shortage of feed and water.
Compounding the problem, beef exports from Brazil, the world’s largest exporter, were halted this week because of the discovery of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), commonly known as mad cow disease. China — the largest beef importing country — is banning importing Brazilian cattle because of it. The ban will probably increase demand and exports of U.S. cattle, hogs and poultry, possibly to China. BSE is not contagious to humans, and it is not present in the U.S.
Feeder cattle (cattle under 1,000 pounds) saw the biggest market reaction, jumping two cents per pound on Thursday as the blizzard and mad cow export ban hit the news. Simultaneously, bird flu (avian influenza) is another pressure point for the markets, since millions of birds are being culled each week in order to prevent the spread of that malady.
China to support Russia?
Just as this week marked the anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, reports swirled of Chinese planning — or at least hinting at — military support of Putin’s agenda. Chinese President Xi made multiple references to the war and alluded to the possibility of aiding Russia in Putin’s commitment to pursuing further military invasions. China abstained from joining 141 other United Nations members in condemning Russia, just as the U.S. plans to move more troops into Taiwan. All eyes from our financial and agricultural communities remain glued to any developments, while leaders Biden, Xi and Putin and U.S. allies ponder, deliberate and negotiate.
Weekly winners and losers
OJ was up almost 22 cents going for $2.53 per pound. Feeder cattle up roughly four cents per pound, going for $1.9325 per pound. Losers are wheat down 60 cents, with May wheat going for $7.20 per bushel. The Dow Jones futures was down 600 points trading at 32,700. Tumbling metals included silver down over 80 cents per ounce trading at $20.93, with copper down nearly 20 cents at $3.96 per pound.

Goblin sap is the ‘blood’ of the sentient plant that is commonly known as a goblin. These humanoid creatures, spawned from the seeds dispersed by the pods of the púca tree, are driven to survive and spread their seeds across the world; their seed being their ‘hearts’, or at least what would be heart in a human. The ‘blood’ of these goblins is a sap that becomes highly volatile upon their death (some alchemical reaction caused by the sudden cessation of life), often causing a deceased goblin to exploded violently, thereby helping to spread their heart-seed. They tend to live in forests or underground, in caves rich with moisture of minerals, which the young púca tree can use as nourishment when sunlight is not avilable for photosynthesis. The seeds grow into fully grown, aware and inherently hostile, intelligence creatures in the space of several days, and have adopted customs of others races, especially the use of armour and weapons to defend themselves from those who seek to harvest their sap.
Goblin Sap & Its Uses
The dwarfs discovered the volatile nature of goblin sap when they fought against the encroachment of the invasive plants, in their underground realms or hill forts. The explosive sap was first used to create bombs, which aided the dwarfs in their war against the elves; the term sappers was invented when dwarf engineers used the sap-bombs to destroy walls and buildings, undermining battlements and foundations. In the last decades of the war they invented projectile weapons that fired small lead pellets from a rifled barrel, propelled by capsules full of sap that were crushed under a hammer attached to the weapon’s stock. The explosion made the pellet fly through the air with deadly accuracy and force, capable of killing an elf– or a man, and other such creature– instantly. These weapons were soon copied by other races, and their use and manufacture spread.
Harvesting Goblin Sap
The easiest way to harvest the sap of a goblin is to grow them in a special farm, where their growth can be controlled and the goblins culled before they can rebel or outgrow the farm. Intact goblins are the best source of the sap, and when the time comes to harvest them, the goblin is strung upside down and their throats slit, allowing the sap to ooze out into containers lined with alchemical silver that allows the sap to be transported without exploding– something about alchemical silver prevents the sap becoming explosive. The sap can also be collected from dead goblins, after they have exploded, although there is less to collect as the sap is quickly absorbed by the surrounding environment. In any case, live goblin sap is useless as an explosive, but can be used to aid in the creation of healing poultices or fermented to brew a particularly potent dwarven-mead that dwarfs are partial to.
Due to the rarity of successful goblin-farms, goblin sap is a highly prized and thus expensive commodity, and fetches a high price, even for the sap collected from wild and deceased goblins. A standing bounty on goblins exists in all civilised lands, and there are numerous hunting lodges that specialise in tracking down goblin sporing grounds.
Below are the guidelines for goblins and their explosive, valuable sap:
- Goblin statistics (based on ACKS goblins, compatible with similar games);
- Harvesting goblin sap (how much it is worth, rules for collecting it);
- New weapons and ammunition (sap-rifles, –capsules, and –bombs);
AC 3 (leather, size), Move 60′ (20′), HD 1-1*, #Ats 1 (weapon), Dmg 1d6 or weapon, Sv 0-lv, ML -1, XP 10; when slain by a slashing or piercing weapon, fire or explosive magic, the goblin sap explodes, spreading the dead goblin’s remains over 20′ and inflicting 1d4 damage to anyone within melee range of the goblin– save versus breath or blast to avoid– and leaving sap all over the place. Goblins slain by blunt weapons or non-volatile magical attacks only explode on a 1-in-6 chance.
Harvesting the Sap
An intact and properly bled goblin produces enough sap to create 10 sap-capsules or a single sap-bomb; worth 50 gold pieces. A live goblin can be sold for ten times as much, since their carcasses can be further used to spawn new goblins.
A slain goblin that has exploded can have the resultant spread of sap collected in a suitable container, but only a small amount: for every hit point the goblin had, a single gold piece worth of sap can be collected. Five of these is enough to create a sap-pellet, but there is never enough to make a bomb. Sap from different goblins can be combined, but if an unskilled collector attempts to do this, there is a chance that the sap reacts and explodes for 1d6 damage for every capsule worth combined, a save versus spells allows the unskilled collector to avoid such a hazard. Skilled collectors (anyone with a suitable craft proficiency) have no such problems.
Sap-rifles, -capsules and -bombs, and lead pellets are now manufactured by different races, but the dwarfs are the original inventors. The weapons listed below represent the generic designs; there are also items such as alchemical silver containers, and collection jars.
|Sap-Rifle||150 gp||Range as longbow, 1d8 damage (‘explode’ on an 8)*|
|Sap-Bomb||50 gp||Range as spear, 2d8 damage to all in 10′, 1d8 to those 10-20′ distant (save versus breath for half)|
|Sap-Capsule||5 gp each||1d6 damage is detonated|
|Lead Pellet||1 sp each|
|Lined Container (large)||10 gp||Holds 20 capsules worth|
|Lined Container (small)||5 gp||Holds 10 capsules worth|
Rifle & Bomb Misfires
Due to the volatile nature of goblin sap, there is a small chance that the sap can explode prematurely. Whenever an attack throw rolls a natural 1 a misfire occurs: roll 1d6 on the table below for rifles, 1d8 for bombs.
|1||Damp Sap: burns out without effect|
|2||Pitiful explosion, shot fails and pellet falls 1d6 feet from firer (can be recovered)|
|3||Skewed explosion, fires at a random target instead: roll to hit as normal|
|4||Sap burns through rifle, ruining it|
|5||Explodes, ruining rifle: deals 1d6 damage to user|
|6||Explodes, taking rifle with it: does damage to user|
|7||Explodes prematurely: deals damage to bomber|
|8||Immense explosion: deals double damage to bomber and normal damage to others in range|

Navika Sailing – Video #35
Buenos días amigos!
In this video we take a break from marina life and drive to the city of Granada for 24 hours. It’s exactly what we needed after several months of marina living and boat jobs – it felt incredible to be in a city again, especially one as special as this.
We discover the old town, spend our time strolling the streets, enjoy the nature and soak in all the history and culture this town has to offer. It might just be one of our favourite cities ever…
No joke we even wondered about selling the boat and buy a place here! Hahaha Hope you enjoy!
If you’ve been to Granada let us know what you thought in the comments below.

MY_WTC #52 | Brian 1999
It was my first trip to New York, and the Twin Towers were a must-see. After all the other pictures taken from the ground, from the Statue of Liberty ferry, etc., we finally made it to the top – and the view was absolutely breathtaking! I swear you could see the curvature of the earth from up there – it’s a sight and a feeling I’ll never forget. We had some other tourists take this picture of us for posterity. I’m so glad we did now – I never made it back while the towers still stood.

Startup Business Idea #11 Organic Farming – Build Your Healthy Route To Success
We are living in the 21st century and 2020 has brought about a brand new decade. With progressing times, there’s no doubt that the buying patterns and requirements of today’s consumers have changed considerably. One industry that has boomed among the young generation is organic food. Which has, in turn, resulted in the extreme popularity of organic farms.
The organic industry isn’t new and has been around for centuries. However, what was once a small, fringe industry of farms has not grown into a market force of influential multi-million and multi-billion dollar companies.
Taking inspiration from this huge industry, we will present another billion-dollar idea that is sure to be a resounding success due to the growth of the organic farm industries.
The Market Potential
The demand for organic foods began a couple of years ago when pesticide residue, which was harmful to the well-being of human beings, was found in the fruits and vegetables. Gradually, people quickly began understanding the benefits of consuming organic foods and the market started flourishing, from fruits and vegetables to food grains, pulses, tea, spices, and even oilseeds.
Speaking about the popularity of organic foods and farms, Dr Saurabh Arora, MD (Auriga research and Director at Arbro Pharmaceuticals) and Founder of Food Safety Helpline said, “Organic foods have gained popularity because people have become aware of their benefits. They contain no chemical pesticides and fertilizers and are grown naturally with manure or compost and only natural pesticides and insecticides are used.”
Basically, organic foods are either grown with the natural system of agriculture, essentially without the addition of any synthetic fertilizer or are products that have been processed and made from organically produced raw materials.
According to WHO, the total organic market industry around the globe is currently valued at a whopping $100 billion. Out of this, $14 billion is for herbal plants and medicines that are expected to reach $5 trillion by 2050.
In addition to this, the value of farmland has grown exponentially, especially in the past few years, as the prices have grown up to 287% over the past 5 years. In fact, the Internation Fund for Agriculture & Development (IFAD) reported that India has over 15,000 certified organic farms.
Hence, it goes without saying that the organic market industry is widely popular and is showing no signs of slowing down.
However, no process is full-proof and there are certain gaps in the industry that do result in challenges.
Arguably, organic farms are the fastest growing sector in the entire food industry, especially since the demand has increased among consumers. With more and more costumers opting for organic diets, more farmers to are leaving conventional farming methods to learn more sustainable ones.
However, is it enough?
While the organic market in countries like the USA and Australia have grown leaps and bounds, Indian farmers are still not ready to take the leap to the next era. Due to this, most organic products are imported and consumers have to pay a hefty amount of money to get their daily dose of organic.
The primary reason for this is the lack of education and training available to farmers when it comes to organic farming. In order to effectively grow or process organic products, there are certain techniques, methods and equipment needed. Most Indian farmers don’t have sufficient knowledge to execute this.
There are multiple courses and studies that farmers need to undergo to effectively carry out organic planning, right from finding the perfect venue and high-quality seeds, to using proper tools while farming and storing the products. While these courses are surely beneficial, few to no farmers actually pursue these courses for effective use.
And, that’s the perfect gap that can lead to a billion-dollar business idea.
To be a great leader, you don’t need to be an expert in every field. Instead, all you need to be a good problem-solver and a quick decision-maker. Hence, to start your own organic farm, you don’t need to actually be a farmer. All you need is a basic understanding of the market and the ability to solve problems with your keen sense of logic.
India is known as the land of agriculture and there are thousands of families who have been carrying out this profession for over centuries. Hence, there is no shortage of talent and resources who can get your farm thriving. All you need to do to get the ball rolling is provide some training and guidance.
The organic farm industry in India is not very competitive at the moment, despite there being such a huge demand for organic foods. Hence, the chance to be one of the major players in the market is now.
If you’re planning to start your own organic farm, here are some simple tips to keep in mind to ensure your business flourishes as well as your plants:
- Learn the basics of organic farming
- The location is essential
- Know your market
- Prepare the soil and make a good compost
- Seek a mentor and network with people
Basically, all you need to do is trust your instincts and create great organic products. Market them well, and there you have it; a thriving and successful business!
