An Evangelist and the 2020 Parliamentary candidate of the National Democratic Congress(NDC) for the Nyheaso Constituency in the Ashanti region Richard Kwamena Agyensem Prah, has told Communicators within the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), that he pities them when they struggle to defend the government.
The businessman whose line of trade is gold jewelry and other ornaments wonders how NPP faithful are managing to be part of the conversation about the fight against galamsey involving the Aisha Huang scandal.
In a radio discussion in Kumasi on Ultimate FM monitored by MyNewsGh.com, he questioned the conscience of most Communicators of the government and their desire, to be honest to the good people of Ghana who gave them the mandate.
‘‘It has gotten to a stage in this country, that the truth needs to be told, these NPP Communicators, when you defend this government, your integrity is gone’’
‘‘Any NPP member or Communicator, that defends what the President Nana Addo is doing, simply just wipes away his or her credibility, I am telling you this morning” he told show host Julius Caesar Anadem.
‘‘They always know, what they are coming to defend doesn’t make sense but they go ahead to do it’ look at how Richard Ahiagba the Director of Communication, was fumbling on TV,
“The man from Volta Region who wants to speak like an Akyem, with his fake accent and thinks he belongs was trying to deceive Ghanaians and Sammy Gyamfi put him to the test, he started fumbling, they are full of lies they should spare Ghanaians’’
‘‘We are already under too much stress, under too much pain and too much hardship, the least they can do to us is, to be honest to us’’
He is however urging the communicators, that if they are unwilling to admit the government’s shortfall in the galamsey fight, they should not lie or twist bare factors known to the greater populace.
‘‘If the NPP people will not admit, the government has failed, they shouldn’t come on the radio and lie to us all” he said’’.
‘‘They must be modest, humble, sincere, and honest enough to tell the Ghanaians that we are in crisis. I hear the information minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, trying to explain what the president said when we all heard what he said’’
‘‘The minister must afford some sensibilities, he is not the only wisest person here, he must know people who are much more brilliant than him also listened and we know what the president said’’
Assessment of the government’s fight against galamsey has resurfaced in the country after the re-arrest of galamsey kingpin Aisha Huang who many believed had been deported and barred from entering Ghana.
News of her arrest has opened a can of worms as to how she has engaged in all manner of wrong things purported to have been committed by her.
There are also speculations of Aisha Huang having in her possession nude pictures and videos of some highly placed political and business figures in the country.

Sadiq Khan has called on the government to secure proper compensation from Volkswagen for the “dieselgate” scandal, saying the £1.1m pledged so far was outrageous. The London mayor said the settlement was far too low compared with the £12bn payout achieved by US authorities for VW’s use of sophisticated “defeat devices” to cheat emissions tests.

Theresa May says she will not punish drivers of older diesel cars who were encouraged to buy the polluting vehicles under the Labour government. A crackdown on the vehicles to tackle poor air quality has been announced by the London mayor, Sadiq Khan, with drivers of polluting vehicles facing £24-a-day charges to drive in central London from 2019.

General Motors Co. said Friday its Buick brand will soon launch its first extended-range electric vehicle, the Velite 5, in China. The Detroit automaker said it plans in the next two years to introduce plug-in hybrid gasoline electric vehicles and pure electric vehicles under the Buick brand in China. GM’s largest sales market is China, where Buick last year topped more than 1 million in sales and more than 8 million since its introduction in 1998.
Emissions standards on cars will save Australians billions of dollars, and help meet our climate targets
The Conversation, 16 March 2017
The cheapest way for Australia to cut greenhouse gas emissions is to put a cap on car emissions. It would be so cheap, in fact, that it will save drivers money. According to analysis from ClimateWorks, the toughest proposed standard would help Australia achieve about 6% of its 2030 emission reduction target, and save drivers up to A$500 each year on fuel.
Michael West, 14 March 2017
It is bizarre that gas customers in Japan buy Australian gas more cheaply than Australians. Some of this gas is drilled in the Bass Strait, piped to Queensland, turned into liquid and shipped 6,700 kilometres to Japan … but the Japanese still pay less than Victorians.

Cities are the incubators of change. I had the opportunity to see city leadership in action during my recent visit to Ahmedabad, a rapidly urbanizing city in western India grappling with rising air pollution levels. In an innovative step, the city, along with NRDC and other partners, unveiled the draft Ahmedabad Air Information and Response (AIR) Plan. The first of its kind, the AIR Plan is a decisive step by Ahmedabad to protect local residents from the debilitating effects of bad air.
New York Times, 14 February 2017
India’s rapidly worsening air pollution is causing about 1.1 million people to die prematurely each year and is now surpassing China’s as the deadliest in the world, a new study of global air pollution shows.

Taxis are the bane of all urban areas. Typically, they are poorly made, poorly maintained, and spew tons of carbon dioxide into the air every day as they shuttle people from place to place. Beijing has nearly 70,000 taxis. It also has an intractable problem with smog. While it has embarked on an aggressive program to encourage private citizens to buy what it calls “new energy vehicles” — hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and battery operated cars — that push has not made much of an impact on the taxi fleet in China’s capitol. Now it has announced a plan to replace all 67,000 fossil fueled taxis in the city with electric cars.

President Trump has vowed to roll back regulations on business, and automakers are wasting no time in pushing his administration to make good on the promise. Two lobbying groups representing auto manufacturers have written letters urging the new head of the Environmental Protection Agency, Scott Pruitt, to reverse a decision last month by the Obama administration to move forward with tougher fuel-economy standards that carmakers are supposed to meet by 2025.

Wind briefly powered more than 50% of electric demand on Sunday [12 February], the 14-state Southwest Power Pool (SPP) said, for the first time on any North American power grid. SPP coordinates the flow of electricity on the high voltage power lines from Montana and North Dakota to New Mexico, Texas and Louisiana.

Sentron’s ISFET pH sensor are uniquely suited for medical applications. In fact, Sentron’s ISFET pH sensor is the only ISFET pH sensor used in FDA and CE approved medical devices. They are also ideal for food applications, since they are glass free and can be fitted in probes with a small profile that minimize damage to produce. They are also applied in many environmental and industrial situations where varying wet / dry conditions or other physical conditions such as pressure make conventional glass pH electrodes ill suited.
Example applications include:
- Oesophageal acid reflux measurements
- Intestinal pH monitoring and precise drug release by pH measuring Smart Pills
- Oceanic probes
- Pharmaceuticals and food processing
- pH measurements in the stomach of ruminants

There are many problems that can arise within relationships. Most of the time, the parties are able to communicate with one another and work through problems that are common occurrences in most any relationship. However, there are a few serious issues that can arise that are very hard to overlook, and infidelity is one of them. There are relationships that suffer and fall apart every single day because of a cheating spouse. If this is a problem that you believe may be occurring within your marriage and you have noticed the signs of cheating, the best plan is to let experts retrieve deleted text messages and other data from your partner's cell phone.
In some cases signs of cheating is very noticeable, and in other cases its not as obvious. However, in many cases when infidelity is suspected, the innocent spouse is usually right. The only way to know for sure is to let experts retrieve deleted text from your partner's cell phone and put your mind to rest. Some signs of cheating include staying at work later than usual. Your partner may also lose interest in various family activities, you may have caught your husband erasing various texts and other information from his cell phone, and some husbands even catch their wife texting another man. When these things happen right in front of your face it is very hard to just dismiss them.
Cell phone forensic investigations are the best and most popular investigative tool available today to uncover infidelity. This type of investigation takes very little time to perform, and it doesn't cost a large amount of out-of-pocket expense. Individuals that realize their partner is showing the signs of cheating can learn a large amount of information about what their spouse is up to. When you let an expert retrieve deleted text they can uncover erased data such as the address book, caller ID, contact list information, pictures and graphics that have been removed, call log information such as the time, date, and length of calls made and received, and sext, text, and SMS messages can also be undeleted. There are also several other pieces of data that can be retrieved when a cell phone forensic investigation is performed.
With an investigation such as this available, there is simply no need to fret and worry if you notice your partner is showing the signs of cheating. Receive an answer to your questions by letting experts in the field of cell phone forensics recover deleted text.

Earlier this month, New Orleans-based biotech company MiniVax announced that they received key funding in the form of a National Institutes of Health’s National Institute for Allergies and Infections Diseases STTR Advanced Technology grant to advance a novel vaccine for preventing pneumocystis pneumonia, a deadly fungal infection of the lung in patients with compromised immune systems.
Currently there are no effective treatments for this disease. The research will be completed by MiniVax in partnership with the lab of Dr. Jay Kolls at LSU Health Sciences Center, who is also the inventor of the MiniVax technology.
Phase I of the technology transfer grant provides $600,000 in funding over the next two years to translate today’s promising academic innovations into next generation products for treating and preventing fungal diseases.
MiniVax is a LSUHSC-NO spinout company and is being incubated at the New Orleans BioInnovation Center (NOBIC). They also pitched at the Coulter Challenge back in March during the Idea Village’s New Orleans Entrepreneur Week.

Kelly Ripa‘s son Joaquin Consuelos attended his senior prom this week and the talk show host revealed the teen borrowed his dad, Mark Consuelos’, tuxedo.
The Emmy-winner joked about the tux’s fit on the May 26 taping of “Live of Kelly and Ryan.” Consuelos filled in for co-host Ryan Seacrest.
“Borrowed his dad’s tux and shoes,” Ripa revealed. “Both we will say tight, too small, a little bit?”
“No, it fit really well,” Consuelos said. “It fit really well on him.”
“Pants were a little short,” she retorted. “It’s ok.”
“Did he get them short on purpose? Did he tailor them a little bit?” the “Riverdale” star quipped. “Oh, he’s taller. His legs are longer.”
(L-R) Mark Consuelos, Kelly Ripa, sons Joaquin Consuelos, Michael Consuelos, and daughter Lola Consuelos. (Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic)
“He didn’t tailor his pants shorter,” Ripa joked. “Just longer legs.” The proud mama also posted a photo of her 18-year-old son posing with his beautiful date Melissa.
“Prom Night 2021. Joaquin and Melissa,” she captioned the photo.
“You could see the difference in Joaquin’s demeanor overall improved greatly,” she said, “Once Mark got out of the picture and Melissa got in the picture.”
Joaquin will be attending the University of Michigan this fall and will be joining the college’s wrestling team.
Ripa and Consuelos also share 23-year-old son Michael and 19-year-old daughter Lola. He graduated from NYU in 2020 while Lola started there in 2019.

Content Editing in WordPress is done using the “Gutenberg” block-based editor. I think we can stop calling it that, it’s just the “new” way of editing content in WordPress.
Developers can code their own blocks to be added to that editor. The team behind the very famous GeneratePress theme has created a free plugin called GenerateBlocks, that make the WordPress editor more powerful.
I played around with the plugin and want to share my findings in this post.
After installing and activating the plugin, you can start using the newly added blocks, which are:
The Container and Grid block allows you to build complex layouts compared to the columns block already coming with every WordPress install.
WordPress, by default, has a heading and button block, but the GenerateBlocks Headline and Buttons blocks offer more options to customize the look and feel of headings and buttons. More on that in a minute.
Building layouts with the Container and Grid block
If you start playing around with GenerateBlocks, you will soon realize that these two blocks upgrade your content editing experience to a page builder.
It basically works this way:
- You build the layout you want for your page/post with the container and grid block
- Then you can place any of the existing blocks (all of the available blocks in your WordPress install) on that layout
When adding a Grid block, you can choose a layout to get started.
After you add the layout, you can start adding content blocks on the grid. As you can see, I have added a headline, image, and quote block on the grid.
What is the difference between the Container and the Grid block? Every column on your grid has a container block, and you can place your content blocks on that container.
But the container block can have its own styling options, like custom font, a background gradient, and so on.
In this screenshot, you can see a heading element placed on a container, which is part of a grid. In this example, I have set a gradient background and padding on the container.
By default, the grid is using a 100% width of your screen (full-width-design). If you do not want that, you can add a container first and place a grid on the container.
Again, here is a screenshot to explain this. You can see in the block navigation that the grid was added on a container. The container has a fixed width set to 1100, and that’s the space the grid is using.
If you have created content in the past in WordPress with all the default blocks available, you will now understand that these two blocks power up WordPress to a simple page builder.
The headline and button block
So what about these two other blocks? WordPress comes already with blocks for that.
That is again explained best with screenshots:
These are the styling options for the default headings block in WordPress.
Now with the Headline block by GenerateBlocks, you get the following options to customize your headings:
Spacing, Icons, Colors, or custom font. Some of the options you can customize for the headline block by GenerateBlocks.
What about the buttons block?
Same comparison. This is a screenshot of the default button block and its customization options in WordPress.
And here is a short screen recording showing the GenerateBlocks button block.
As you can see, there are even more options to style buttons.
Other notable features:
- You can control the responsive behavior of the GenerateBlocks blocks
- It works best with GeneratePress theme (I have tested it on a site with GeneratePress,) but it should work with many of the themes available
- The plugin is available for free
If you are on the lookout for a way to build page layouts using the default WordPress editor, I recommend checking out GeneratePress and GenerateBlocks. It is way easier to learn compared to Elementor, but probably has enough features for most small business websites.
If your site already runs on GeneratePress or you are familiar with the theme, I definitely recommend checking out the GenerateBlocks plugin.
Also, there will be a premium version of the plugin available soon, that comes with up to 100 styled templates based on GenerateBlocks. So you do not have to start from scratch to add all the typical components a website has these days.

Webb tells how she got swept up in scandal
Disputes story by administration
Question of the Day
Rochelle Webb has had a week to “get over the shock” of the abrupt end of her city job on April 1 — a parable of sorts on how an outsider was swept into the gears of local influence and the roulette known as the excepted service, a system of political hires who serve at the will of the executive.
After watching it all unfold in government reports, testimony and a string of unflattering Google hits, she wants to “fill in the blanks.”
“Now is the time for me to say what exactly is happening,” Ms. Webb, a Texan who came to the District via a high-level post in Arizona, told The Washington Times on Monday in a cafe in Northwest.
Her trail to the District began in December, when she gathered her Arizona staff to let them know Santa had given her an early Christmas gift.
“That’s exactly what I said,” she recalled.
Ms. Webb, knowing a new administration would block her path to a Cabinet-level position in the Grand Canyon State, had been appointed to lead the District's Department of Employment Services (DOES) after successful talks with a recruiter and Mayor-elect Vincent C. Gray.
She had plenty of reasons to be optimistic. The job fit her skills, included a salary that was $15,000 above what she had requested, paid her relocation fees and allowed her to bring her own team to effect the mayor’s goals, she said.
But after an auspicious start — partnerships, constructive meetings and seeming progress — her holiday blessing unraveled less than 90 days into the Gray era amid reports that a string of perks had come Ms. Webb’s way, including a personal driver, a $4,000-plus stay at the W Hotel and handpicked associates from Arizona and Texas to work alongside her.
Two turning points
The fact that her son, Brandon Webb, had been hired by the D.C. Department of Fire and Emergency Medical Services only added fuel to the fire, and at least one council member said he had reservations about her confirmation as director.
All that, Ms. Webb said, is a smoke screen for two things. She said her early dismissal was based on fear of what she would say in testimony before the Committee on Government Operations and the Environment and her open concern for how the city funded its Project Empowerment program, an initiative that helps D.C. residents advance from welfare to the workplace.
Sitting in a cafe booth next to her son, who resigned under political pressure after reports of Cabinet members’ children obtaining city jobs, Ms. Webb said a pair of key, and quite public, turning points forestalled her confirmation as head of DOES.
The first came in the form of Sulaimon Brown, a minor mayoral candidate who says he was paid cash and offered a city job to stay in the race and bash then-incumbent Mayor Adrian M. Fenty. He was fired from a $110,000-a-year job at the Department of Healthcare Finance after reports of his checkered past, leading him to make the claims against the mayor’s campaign team.
The incident, and resulting investigations by the U.S. attorney’s office, a House oversight committee and the D.C. Council changed the tone across city government — or, as Ms. Webb put it, “from the offensive to defensive.”
The second was more personal, unfolding over the course of five days. It began with testimony from former interim personnel director Judy Banks before the D.C. Council on March 28, describing Mr. Webb’s hiring as a request from acting Fire Chief Kenneth Ellerbe.

Value of water filtration
More than 90% of the groundwater deposits in Finland have been assessed as good in quality. This has a significant health value as 61% of the communal water supply is originally groundwater. In about 350 groundwater deposits have been discovered unfavourable amount of contaminants.
The use of groundwater for communal water supply can be considered relatively cost-effective because groundwater is domestic, it's mostly good in quality and the treatment expenses are low.
Social value of groundwater consists of, for example, the employment effect of the groundwater supply network.
Intrinsic value of water filtration origins from the generous and good-quality groundwater production that ensures reliable water supply in Finland.

For the first time yesterday, I found myself using both my mobile phone and TV in perfect combination as I sought to look through some videos from YouTube. I own an LG smart TV and in the past have used it pretty well for watching BBC iplayer content, but very little else.
During a conversation with a friend during the day, we had been nostalgic about some of the old dramas and comedies which were created in the UK in the 1980s but which were now rarely if ever repeated on “normal” TV. Several shows came up including “Ever decreasing circles”, a comedy starring the very funny Richard Briers, “Blakes 7” a sci-fi drama for children and “The great egg race”, a challenge show which pitted teams against each other to make something from various scrap (not dissimilar to the current scrap heap challenge show).
I thought I would check on YouTube to see what was available and I was not disappointed when I found almost all of the episodes of EDC and Blakes 7. So, yesterday evening in a decidedly nostalgic evening, I sat down to two episodes of each show.
The problem with searching for content on a TV is the search facility which is a pain when the title is 23 characters long and you are using a normal remote control and onscreen keyboard. But I discovered an option to pair the TV with a mobile device. This was remarkably simple and painless! A QR code was showed on screen which connected my mobile phone to the YouTube site and instantly my TV showed I was connected to my Sony phone. The YouTube application on the phone also now showed a “Play to TV” button.
I could, therefore, browse any Youtube video on my mobile phone and once I had found something I wanted to watch, just clicked the “Play to TV” button and within seconds it was playing on the TV. A real Internet based and mobile phone controlled TV remote control.
I do find it remarkable that in all of my searching on the LG website, I had found out nothing about this. However, the simple power of the TV with phone is going to make a massive difference to my TV experience from now on.

Description : This book is a basic resource of knowledge about alcoholism and drug addiction. The authors cover the scientific and clinical aspects of chemical dependency in a balanced way with case vignettes to illustrate clinical issues. The book is suitable for a number of student needs. Students preparing for the Certified Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC) examination will find topics discussed that are drawn from the certification examination requirements. The text can stand as a main source for college-level courses in addictions or chemical dependancy in the mental health health programs, and can be used as a college or stand-alone introduction to chemical dependancy and counseling. Psychologists, social workers, clergy, and other professional counselors who wish to supplement their knowledge about chemical dependancy will find this text serves as a valuable reference. After an introduction to the general problems of substance abuse counseling, the authors delineate the different types of drugs and their effects, organize the relevant information used in the assessment and diagnosis of addictions, integrate knowledge of human development with causes of dependancy and addiction, and explore the impact of addiction on health and the family. They then focus on the principles of chemical abuse counseling, including treatment planning, the different schools of counseling, how to understand and manage relapse, and special populations. They conclude with ethical considerations involved in treating chemical abusers. The authors believe that chemical dependency counseling is the only profession that treats substance abuse as a primary disorder and disease with its own causes, course, progression and complication. Chemical dependency counseling must deal with and absorb a complex and intriguing web of fact and theory drawn from sciences, medicine, and other fields. But the practical side of chemical dependency counseling remains an art and a science. This book offers a whole set of specific techniques
Description : Integrative, research-based, multisystemic: these words reflect not only the state of family therapy, but the nature of this comprehensive handbook as well. The contributors, all well-recognized names who have contributed extensively to the field, accept and embrace the tensions that emerge when integrating theoretical perspectives and science in clinical settings to document the current evolution of couples and family therapy, practice, and research. Each individual chapter contribution is organized around a central theme: that the integration of theory, clinical wisdom, and practical and meaningful research produce the best understanding of couple and family relationships, and the best treatment options. The handbook contains five parts: • Part I describes the history of the field and its current core theoretical constructs • Part II analyzes the theories that form the foundation of couple and family therapy, chosen because they best represent the broad range of schools of practice in the field • Part III provides the best examples of approaches that illustrate how clinical models can be theoretically integrative, evidence-based, and clinically responsive • Part IV summarizes evidence and provides useful findings relevant for research and practice • Part V looks at the application of couple and family interventions that are based on emerging clinical needs, such as divorce and working in medical settings. Handbook of Family Therapy illuminates the threads that are common to family therapies and gives voice to the range of perspectives that are possible. Practitioners, researchers, and students need to have this handbook on their shelves, both to help look back on our past and to usher in the next evolution in family therapy.
Description : This respected text from the American Society of Addiction Medicine is valuable for all physicians and mental-health personnel who specialize in addiction medicine and who treat patients with addiction disorders. The chapters blend scientific principles underlying addiction with the practical essentials of clinical addiction medicine. Many of the contributors are affiliated with leading government agencies that study addiction and its science, such as the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The book will appeal to a wide and interdisciplinary range of professionals, especially those with interest or duties relating to addiction-related disorders, and in particular physicians seeking certification status via either the American Board of Addiction Medicine or the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. A companion Website will offer the fully searchable text.
Description : As we enter the new millennium, promoting sound mental health and positive behavior of adolescents has undeniably taken on greater significance than ever before. To that end, more and more research is confirming what many have suspected for years: environment and community surroundings have a major affect on an adolescent’s well-being and overall mental health. And because no single causal agent triggers teenage pathology—and no one-size-fits-all treatment is available—the Handbook of Adolescent Behavior Problems offers a comprehensive and integrative biopsychosocial approach to effective practice. This volume examines not only the psychological and genetic factors underlying dysfunction, it also explores the critical roles that family members, peers, and the larger community play in an adolescent’s life. It offers current interdisciplinary perspectives on adolescent development, both functional and pathological, and provides coverage that is clear, accessible, and practical on such topics as: Major disorders, including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, ADHD, PTSD, developmental delays, and conduct disorders. Behavior problems, such as substance abuse, sexual offenses, teen pregnancy, school failure, gambling, and gang violence. Best practices, reviewing what works (i.e., interventions that have been rigorously validated), what might work (i.e., those in need of further study), and what doesn’t work. Residential interventions as well as community treatment. Risk and resiliency factors. Ongoing and emerging pharmaceutical issues. Each chapter focuses on a specific behavior or disorder and is formatted to help readers quickly locate needed information. The Handbook of Adolescent Behavior Problems provides a solid foundation for understanding the adolescent experience and the influence of the family and community as well as much-needed information on the development of evidence-based practices. It is designed to be a one-stop reference for anyone working with adolescents—developmental psychologists, clinical and school psychologists, and education specialists as well as for graduate students in these areas.
Description : This book provides information regarding the enormity of substance abuse problems in the population, how to assess the problems, and how to treat individuals and families who seek assistance. It educates beginning clinicians and counselors about substance abuse by guiding them through the process of working with substance-abuse clients. Written in an understandable, and easy-to-grasp manner, it covers the basics of substance use and abuse—Terminology, physiology, psychokinetics, and psychodynamics. Case histories are used in selected chapters to help readers integrate the various approaches by offering a sample of the types of issues presented when working with this population. An emphasis on special populations includes minority populations, women, elderly, special needs groups, and children/youth. For substance abuse counselors seeking information on the stages of counseling—from assessment and diagnosis through relapse prevention.
Description : Now in its fifth edition, The Practice of Family Therapy comes at a time when traditional approaches to psychotherapy have given way to multidimensional strategies that best serve the needs of diverse groups who are grappling with the many challenges unique to family therapy practice. With expanded coverage of different models, along with new developments in evidence-based and postmodern practices, this integrative textbook bridges the gap between science and systemic/relational approaches, as it guides the reader through each stage of family therapy. Part I lays the groundwork by introducing the first-, second-, and third-generation models of family therapy, teaching the reader to integrate different elements from these models into a systemic structure of practice. Part II explores the practical application of these models, including scripts for specific interventions and rich case examples that highlight how to effectively work with diverse client populations. Students will learn how to make connections between individual symptoms and cutting-edge family practices to respond successfully to cases of substance abuse, trauma, grief, depression, suicide risk, violence, LGBTQ families, and severely mentally ill clients and their families. Also included are study guides for each model and a glossary to review main concepts. Aligned with the Association of Marital and Family Therapy Regulatory Boards’ (AMFTRB) knowledge and content statements, this textbook will be key reading for graduate students who are preparing for the national licensing exam in marriage and family therapy.

Activists in North Dakota took a big step this week toward getting a cannabis legalization measure before the state’s voters in November.
The group known as New Approach North Dakota said that it submitted boxes’ worth of signatures on Monday to the secretary of state’s office in the capital city of Bismarck in an effort to get the measure on this year’s ballot.
According to local television station KFYR, organizers for the group “submitted a petition with more than 25,000 signatures,” which was “over 10,000 more than they need to place the issue on the ballot in November.”
The secretary of state’s office now has until August 15 “to verify the signatures and determine whether the measure will be placed on the ballot,” according to the station.
Should the measure qualify for the ballot, it could serve as another test case for how much attitudes have shifted on the issue, even in the most conservative corners of the United States.
It will also reveal how much public opinion has changed in North Dakota since 2018, when voters in the state rejected a ballot initiative that would have legalized recreational cannabis.
“In a four-year period, call it, we’ve gone from being surrounded by non-legal states, to everything around us being legal. And that just shows the entire culture and attitude, not just in North Dakota, but in the Midwest as a whole, is shifting on this,” said David Owen, campaign manager for New Approach North Dakota, as quoted by KFYR.
If the measure qualifies for the ballot and wins approval from voters, individuals in North Dakota “who are 21 and older will no longer be punished for using marijuana in the privacy of their home,” according to a summary of the measure, which would permit “adults to possess up to one ounce of cannabis, up to four grams of cannabis concentrate, and up to 500 milligrams of cannabis in an infused product,” and to “cultivate up to three cannabis plants in a secure, enclosed location on their property.”
The new law would also establish “a system of registered dispensaries, manufacturers, and testing laboratories,” with each product “analyzed to determine potency and screened for unsafe contaminants,” and “tracked, traced, and accurately labeled in an inventory system from seed to sale.”
The proposal’s title reads: “This initiated measure would create a new chapter of the North Dakota Century Code. It would allow for the production, processing, and sale of cannabis and the possession and use of various forms of cannabis by individuals who are 21 years of age and older, within limitations as to location; direct a state entity to regulate and register adult-use cannabis production businesses, dispensaries, and their agents; permit an individual to possess a limited amount of cannabis product; provide protections, limitations, penalties, and employer rights relating to use of cannabis products; and provide that fees are to be appropriated for administration of the chapter.”
Organizers in North Dakota may have been encouraged by what they’ve seen from their neighbors to the south.
A majority of voters in South Dakota approved an amendment legalizing recreational cannabis use for adults in the 2020 election, only to see the law unravel under a legal challenge spearheaded by the state’s Republican Gov. Kristi Noem.
But polls have shown that voters in South Dakota remain supportive of legalization (while disapproving of Noem’s handling of the issue), and activists there are aiming to put another proposal on this year’s ballot.
Following the vote in South Dakota, some Republican lawmakers in North Dakota introduced bills to legalize pot in the state, which was described as an effort to “head off citizen-initiated efforts to legalize marijuana through the constitution, after South Dakota voters did just that last year.”
The post North Dakota Could Have Legalization Proposal on This Year’s Ballot appeared first on High Times.

George Osborne Insists Tax Credit Cuts Will Go Ahead
But the chancellor has been forced to find ways of lessening their impact following a defeat in the House of Lords.
George Osborne has pledged to push ahead with cuts to tax credit payments despite last night's government defeat in the House of Lords, although the chancellor has conceded he will now have to find more ways to help those affected.
The changes to tax credits, which could cost millions of families over £1,000 a year in lost income, were due to come into effect from April 2016 with families affected informed in the run-up to Christmas.
However, Downing Street is now unable to confirm that the changes will be approved by parliament in time to meet that deadline, potentially throwing the plan to cut government spending on welfare by £4.4 billion into chaos.
"We will still pursue the goal of reforming tax credits and the chancellor will set out how at the Autumn Statement," said a Number 10 spokesperson. "Any reforms to the tax credit system will have to be in place before letters detailing changes go out."
The government also confirmed it will announced a fast-track inquiry into the relationship between the elected House of Commons and the unelected House of Lords, with the intention of making it harder for peers to block financial measures that have been passed by MPs. The Conservatives now fear they could face further defeats in the House of Lords, where they do not have a majority, on issues such as votes for 16- and 17-year-olds in the EU referendum.
Some of Osborne's political rivals seized upon the chaos as a chance to make their own case to succeed David Cameron as leader. Mayor of London Boris Johnson said tax credit changes should be altered and they "must protect [the] poorest".
At Treasury question time Osborne told MPs that the House of Lords vote against tax credit changes was an affront to democracy: "Last night unelected Labour and Liberal Democrats peers voted down the financial measures on tax credits approved by this elected House of Commons.
"That raises clear constitutional issues which we will deal with. We will continue to reform tax credits and save the money that is needed so that Britain lives within its means, while at the same time lessening the impact on families during the transition. I will set out the plans in the autumn statement.
"We remain as determined as ever to create the low-tax, low-welfare, high-wage economy that Britain needs and the British people want to see."
Osborne said the Commons had "voted three times" for the changes that were rejected by the House of Lords. Senior Tory MPs Andrew Tyrie, Edward Leigh, and Liam Fox all criticised the "unelected chamber" for overturning what they said was the will of voters.
But Labour MP Wes Streeting said: "If the chancellor had listened to the evidence from the outset he wouldn't be in this mess. Instead of manufacturing a phoney constitutional crisis, why won't he put his toys back in the pram and appreciate he needs to go back to the drawing board on his failed policy that hits working people the hardest?"
Former shadow Treasury chief secretary Chris Leslie asked to see the specific sentence in the Conservative manifesto setting out the tax credit cut. Osborne replied: "It says in that document we're going to make £12 billion of welfare savings."
The SNP's Stewart Hosie declared: "The chancellor has lost his political touch and his chance of being prime minister has just gone up in a puff of ermine-clad smoke." Dismissing his comment, Osborne replied: "All they want to talk about is party-political games."
A hush descended on the noisy chamber when shadow chancellor John McDonnell pointed out: "Can I remind the House that for 3 million people out there who have done everything asked of them, bringing up their children, going to work, this is not a constitutional matter. They will lose £1,300 a year.
"Can I reassure the chancellor that if he brings forward proposals to reverse the cuts to tax credits fairly and in full he will not be attacked by this side of the House; indeed he will be applauded."
Osborne said there was a difference between those who want to make "no savings to the welfare budget at all" and those who want to move to a "lower welfare society but want help in the transition".
The focus will now shift to how the government can soften the impact of the tax credit cuts. Torsten Bell of the Resolution Foundation think tank, which has helped lead criticism of the changes, said the government now has three options: reducing the scale of the cuts, phasing them in over a longer period, or providing extra payments to cover the transition.
"In reality they may choose a combination of all three," he wrote. "Which you think is preferable will depend on how you balance off the costs to the Exchequer with the hit to family budgets, and whether you think the problem with these changes is the timing of the losses, or the sheer scale of them. In 29 days we’ll find out which the government cares about more."

Introducing the Metro Core… by Bike!
When appreciating the feeling of a bustling public plaza, the Seawall or a busy Vancouver street, do you ever think about how these elements of our city were intentionally designed, and at one point were just an idea that someone had? What makes for good urban design and who gets to decide? If you are a youth aged 18-35 years old, and want answers to these questions and more, please join CityHive on a bike tour led by urban design expert Scot Hein as we explore the elements of good public space design by cycling through various neighbourhoods in the city.
Neighbourhoods and areas that we will explore include the False Creek waterfront, Chinatown, the Woodwards complex, Gastown, Coal Harbour waterfront, the West End and Yaletown. We will meet at 12:00PM at the Olympic Village Plaza, ride until 4PM and end in Yaletown for drinks, refreshments and conversation about all things urban and how to make our city a more livable place to live, work and play.
Don’t have your own bike? Please email firstname.lastname@example.org if that’s stopping you from participating and we will arrange a bike for you.
We have a limited number of spots on the tour to keep the group size appropriate, so please RSVP so we can keep track of numbers, and do so only if you are able to attend. Thanks!

Brunch at The Whiskey Biscuit
should be your new Englewood weekend staple. Between rotating French toasts, a specially designed kids' brunch and breakfasty house cocktails, this South Broadway spot has tempting choices for day drinkers and families alike.
I don’t normally consider nachos a breakfast dish, but the Whiskey Biscuit makes it a reality. Flour tortilla chips form a base onto which red, green or Christmas (both) chili are added, with eggs and a smothering of Hollandaise topping things off.
The skillet cake is kind of like a Dutch baby.
On the sweeter side, the German skillet cake is baked in cast iron and topped with whiskey butter. If you’re feeling crazy, the kitchen will add in chocolate chips, bananas, bacon or fresh fruit. This version of a pancake has more structure than a traditional flapjack and is less sweet, with a consistency and flavor closer to sourdough bread, making it a unique brunch dish.
The Whiskey Biscuit's eggs Benedict comes with carne adovada instead of Canadian bacon and is built on biscuits (what else?). The braised pork is bathed in red chile and topped with poached eggs, creamy Hollandaise and crispy onions. A simpler but still tasty biscuit alternative is the Breakfast Sammy, with eggs, cheddar, house mayo and your choice of a breakfast meat all on a fresh biscuit. This sandwich comes with a mountain of housemade fries.
Carne adovada Benedict on a biscuit.
A breakfast biscuit sandwich with potatoes.
Aaron Hatle, one of the three owners of the Whiskey Biscuit, explains that the name of the bar and grill represents what's served: everything from biscuits to whiskey. Somewhere in between the two, there's also beer. "We have 24 taps, and about twenty of those are Colorado beers," he points out. "We’re a Colorado-driven business."
Brain Poyner is another third of the team that makes the Whiskey Biscuit a neighborhood treasure. Poyner's expertise is behind the bar, and he has elevated the drinks menu to what it is today, which includes house-infused spirits. His Swine Society cocktail combines bacon-infused bourbon, muddled cherries, maple syrup and bitters before being crowned with whiskey bacon and a cherry. This drink is like breakfast in a glass, but the idea is based on a a traditional Old Fashioned. The Mile High Chai is a lighter breakfast drink, with Denver's Bear Creek Distillery
spiced rum, spiced simple syrup, iced tea and a dusting of cinnamon. Make it a boozy trio with the Devil’s Harvest, a blend of Devil’s Head Aquavit, apple cider and spiced simple syrup. Devil’s Head Distillery makes its Scandinavian-style aquavit (and other spirits) right around the corner from the Whiskey Biscuit, so it doesn't get much more local than that. While the Swine Society is potent, the other two cocktails are on the lighter side, which is nice when you’re drinking at 10 a.m.

Of all the trends in orthodontics and dentistry over the past decade, one of the most transformative solutions for patient care has been remote monitoring for aligners, braces and more. Apps like In Hand Dental. These effective “virtual consultation” apps became especially useful during the pandemic, and both dental professionals and patients have continued to embrace them as an alternative to many types of in-office visits.
If you haven’t yet explored this revolutionary care route, this blog will highlight 5 key reasons to look into remote monitoring for for aligners, braces, and more.
5 Ways Remote Monitoring Enhances Orthodontic Patient Care
- Enhances the Efficiency of Treatments – One of the biggest benefits for orthodontists and dentists is the ability to track patient progress more frequently and consistently. Waiting 6 weeks between in-person appointments can hamper progress and decisions on amending treatment protocols. With remote monitoring, patients and their dentist can communicate anytime, anywhere.
- Allows Greater Scheduling Flexibility for Patients – Remote monitoring is an excellent option for encouraging patient compliance and allowing for frequent checkups that don’t always require a trip to the office. Apps like In Hand Dental allow patients to take and share photos of their teeth and appliances and receive treatment recommendations.
- Improves Real-Time Communications Options – In-person visits aren’t always necessary, and they can take up valuable chair time. Using an app like In Hand Dental allows practitioners to communicate with patients, relay care or aligner change alerts, and even send messages of encouragement or birthday wishes quickly and easily.
- Builds Greater Loyalty Among Patients – Studies confirm that 97% of orthodontic and dental patients feel very positive about remote monitoring and feel that it enhances the quality of their care. What’s more, the cost of treating patients via remote monitoring totals 11% ($75) less annually than dental patients seen in person, a fact that patients very much appreciate.
- Increases the Ability to Build a Larger Patient Pool – Remote monitoring can be effectively used to care and education for patients from anywhere, and even curb the need for in-person follow-up visits. Having the option available in your practice can actually help increase your market area and encourage the growth of your patient base, all without adding staff.
It’s Time to Enhance Your Care Protocol with Remote Monitoring
The pandemic may have passed, but the acceptance and popularity of remote monitoring for aligners, braces and more is here to stay. Aligner patients, wired-braces patients, emergency cases, and others have all embraced this option. What’s more, these patients have come to expect, and even demand, this option. Bottom line? It’s time for you to get onboard and add remote monitoring to your practice.

Video: Martin Havlat’s goal of the night runner-up
As I mentioned earlier this morning, Friday’s Goal of the Night was a really tough call but I decided to award it to Dallas Stars forward Jamie Benn. There were plenty of other good candidates, but the closest runner up (in my mind, at least) was probably Minnesota Wild forward Martin Havlat.
Havlat is actually putting together a quietly strong season with the Wild, even though many probably were only aware that his agent Alan Walsh made some complaints about how he was being used early on in 2010-11.
After scoring two goals and one assist in last night’s dominant performance against the Nashville Predators, Havlat now has 20 points (five goals and 15 assists) in 21 games. The book on Havlat in his days with the Ottawa Senators and Chicago Blackhawks was that he was a talented player who couldn’t stay on the ice because of injuries (sort of a poor man’s Marian Gaborik), but lately it seemed like he just was losing it with Minnesota.
Instead, Havlat is a big reason they might be able to claw their way into the playoffs. He made a lot of plays on Friday, but this goal was the highlight of them all.

With the epidemic under "relative control," the South American country has reactivated almost all activities. Enditem
Following is the preliminary Argentina squad:
The 22-year-old Osaka outlasted an inspired Victoria Azarenka from Belarus 1-6, 6-3, 6-3 in the US Open final on September 12 to clinch her second US Open title and third Grand Slam, following her victories in the 2018 US Open and 2019 Australian Open.
With the 2-0 lead, Hertha played conservatively after the interval, and Bremen failed to pose a threat to Hertha's well-positioned defense.
Flamengo had never before lost a Copa Libertadores match by a five-goal margin. Previously, their worst showing in South America's premier club competition was a 5-1 capitulation to Gremio in 1984. Thursday's result was also the heaviest defeat by defending Copa Libertadores champions.
ROME, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- Kei Nishikori of Japan secured his first win of the season as he labored to beat Spain's Albert Ramos-Vinolas 6-4, 7-6 (3) to reach the second round at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia in Rome, Italy, on Monday.
"You can be sure that I will do everything possible so that the club has a successful season," Neves said in a video posted on social media.
The second half witnessed breakthroughs in the final moments. In the 89th minute, Alan Douglas Borges de Carvalho fired a missile for Beijing after finding a gap between two defenders.
The South American zone World Cup qualifiers were originally scheduled to begin in late March but were suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Schwartzman, who ousted Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinals, beat Canadian Denis Shapovalov 6-4, 5-7, 7-6 (4) in the other semifinal.
The biggest hit of the day was the men's 100m. Asian 200m record holder Xie Zhenye claimed the title with 10.31 seconds in his hometown. It was not an easy win since Zhang Ruixuan and Chen Guanfeng finished 10.34s and 10.36s respectively, and Xie's lane was laid just between them.

A new study by researchers at the Center for Injury Research and Policy of The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital examined pediatric injuries associated with inflatable bouncers, such as bounce houses and moonwalks.
Researchers found that from 1995 to 2010 there was a 15-fold increase in the number of inflatable bouncer-related injuries that were treated in U.S. emergency departments among children younger than 18 years of age. In 2010 alone, more than 30 children per day, or about one child every 45 minutes, were treated in hospital emergency departments for injuries associated with inflatable bouncers.
The study, available online November 26, 2012 and published in the December 2012 print issue of Pediatrics, found that while fractures (28 percent) and strains or sprains (27 percent) were the most common types of injuries, approximately 1 in 5 injuries (19 percent) were to the head and neck, demonstrating that use of these products can pose serious risks. Falls (43 percent) were the most common cause of injury followed by stunts and collisions. The majority of the injuries occurred either in a recreational setting (44 percent) or at home (38 percent).
"The findings from this study show that there has been an alarming increase in the number of injuries from inflatable bouncers," said Gary A. Smith, MD, DrPH, director of the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children's Hospital. "It is time for us to take action to prevent these injuries. Ensuring that parents are aware of the potential risks, improving surveillance of the injuries, developing national safety guidelines and improving bouncer design are the first steps."
The study authors point out that the injury patterns for inflatable bouncers and trampolines are very similar, and although there are national safety guidelines for trampoline use, no such guidelines exist for inflatable bouncers."The medical and public health community has yet to provide recommendations on the safe use of inflatable bouncers," said Dr. Smith, also a professor of Pediatrics at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. "The growing epidemic of inflatable bouncer injuries make it clear that it is time to do so."
This is the first study to use a nationally representative sample to examine injuries associated with inflatable bouncer-related injuries that were treated in U.S. emergency departments. Data for this study were obtained from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS), which is operated by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The NEISS provides information on consumer product-related and sports and recreation-related injuries treated in hospital emergency departments across the country.
The Center for Injury Research and Policy (CIRP) of The Research Institute at Nationwide
Children's Hospital works globally to reduce injury-related pediatric death and disabilities. With innovative research at its core, CIRP works to continually improve the scientific understanding of the epidemiology, biomechanics, prevention, acute treatment and rehabilitation of injuries. CIRP serves as a pioneer by translating cutting edge injury research into education, policy, and advances in clinical care.

University of Maryland researchers contribute to historic detection of gravitational waves and light created by event
On August 17, 2017, at 12:41:04 UTC, scientists made the first direct observation of a merger between two neutron stars--the dense, collapsed cores that remain...
Seven new papers describe the first-ever detection of light from a gravitational wave source. The event, caused by two neutron stars colliding and merging together, was dubbed GW170817 because it sent ripples through space-time that reached Earth on 2017 August 17. Around the world, hundreds of excited astronomers mobilized quickly and were able to observe the event using numerous telescopes, providing a wealth of new data.
Previous detections of gravitational waves have all involved the merger of two black holes, a feat that won the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics earlier this month....
Material defects in end products can quickly result in failures in many areas of industry, and have a massive impact on the safe use of their products. This is why, in the field of quality assurance, intelligent, nondestructive sensor systems play a key role. They allow testing components and parts in a rapid and cost-efficient manner without destroying the actual product or changing its surface. Experts from the Fraunhofer IZFP in Saarbrücken will be presenting two exhibits at the Blechexpo in Stuttgart from 7–10 November 2017 that allow fast, reliable, and automated characterization of materials and detection of defects (Hall 5, Booth 5306).
When quality testing uses time-consuming destructive test methods, it can result in enormous costs due to damaging or destroying the products. And given that...

COLOMBO, Sept 18 (Reuters) - Sri Lanka's John Keells Holdings JKH.CM on Thursday said a court ruling against privatisation of its subsidiary Lanka Marine Services (LMS) could cost a maximum of 2.032 billion rupees ($18.84 million).
The cost announced by the top conglomerate in the bourse is 50 percent higher than its original estimation of up to 1.3 billion rupees announced a day after the July 21 court ruling.
The ruling cancelled all the tax exemptions enjoyed by LMS since 2002 under an agreement with the country’s Board of Investment, after the court found the conglomerate had bought LMS from the state for an undervalued price.
And late on Wednesday, the country’s treasury secretary, who was ordered to pay 500,000 rupees to the state in compensation for his role in the sale, resigned.
Central Bank Governor Ajith Nivard Cabraal confirmed the resignation of Treasury Secretary P.B. Jayasundara, but declined to give a reason. Jayasundara could not be reached for comment.
Keells in a statement said it had received the formal assessments on the tax due, and that the minimum cost was estimated at 724 million rupees.
However, the company didn’t give any clear explanation for the difference of 1.3 billion rupees between minimum and maximum liability.
“There is a clear conflict between John Keells and the Inland Revenue Department with regard to the tax matters. Keells says it has to pay the tax at a rate of 15 percent, while IRD says it is 35 percent. There is a tax penalty as well,” Channa Amaratunga, director at CT Capital, said.
Since the ruling, shares in John Keells Holdings have plummeted 22.7 percent to close at a three-and-a-half year low of 81 rupees on Thursday. (Additional reporting by Ranga Sirilal; Editing by Bryson Hull)

While visiting the Holy City, a trip to the Charleston City Market is on nearly everyone’s list. Lowcountry Eclectic, a shop that creates beautiful, natural wood diffuser jewelry and accessories, is found in our iconic market several days a week and in the Night Market every Friday and Saturday from 7-10pm.
Diffuser jewelry is used for a variety of purposes depending on the chosen essential oil – from a natural insect repellent to a lovely and natural perfume. Swarms of noseeums, small biting insects, were Amanda Esquivel’s inspiration for creating her first natural wood diffuser necklace. She recommends renewing your jewelry’s essential oil every 24 to 36 hours. Heavier oils, such as cinnamon or clove, will require longer to diffuse out, and Amanda recommends a dedicated piece of jewelry for these oils.
The idea for this unique business came to the Esquivel family after moving to the Lowcountry from Texas to be with family. The couple’s children kept bringing beautiful branches that they found while exploring, and the innate loveliness of the wood begged for a second life in the form of a unique creation.
The wood is harvested by the family here in the Lowcountry and is never treated with any chemicals. All of the wood comes from land that is free from pesticides or herbicides. The wood circles vary, but are mainly Magnolia, Plum and numerous varieties of Oak and are harvested sustainably by selecting fallen branches and prunings made with the tree’s long term health in mind.
Amanda’s jewelry is also available online at https://lowcountryeclectic.com, and domestic shipping is always free.
