We had an unforgettable experience onboard the Tuia for a hens party. The boat is gorgeous, feels luxurious and the scenery is stunning. Matt was super attentive and helpful. We had a great time relaxing on the deck, paddle boarding, visiting the glow worm caves and on the jumping tree. Could not fault a thing. Our bride was blown away! Would recommend to anyway! Thank you to Matt and his team!
This is the second time our work group has booked a cruise with Pure Cruise - as always, they provided us with an awesome afternoon of relaxed fun in a stunning location. Highly recommended to anyone who gets the chance.
Thank You - to the thousands of travellers that have contributed to our Top Voted NZ Activities Map - it's free from Rankers.
Thank you to Matt and his team for such an unforgettable experience sailing with Pure Cruise New Zealand on the stunning Lake Rotoiti.
From the time our group of seniors first stepped aboard the luxurious yacht "Tiua", we were made to feel so welcome. Matt spoke to us all about his yacht and facilities, the safety rules, about Lake Rotoiti and generally told all to just enjoy the delightful Cruise, which we all certainly did.
We also enjoyed a delicious lunch which Louise passed around to everyone who were able to sit where ever they wanted to on the yacht.
Even though' our group were from the Bay of Plenty, we were stunned at the beauty of the Lake and the unique Cruise and felt like we were all were having an "indulgence day" out!
Stopping off at the hot pools for a swim was no bother for Matt to do. This too was a highlight.
We all loved seeing the sails go up and down and the unique experience.
We would certainly recommend this Cruise to any New Zealander and overseas visitor.
Pure Cruise New Zealand responds:
Thank you for your kind words Kae. It was a pleasure to have you join the crew. Enjoy the rest of your summer and we hope one day to see you aboard Tiua again with us.

Rochester Lawn Care Renovation should be considered if any of the following conditions exist in your lawn:
1. Approximately 20-40% of the lawn is dead or has very sparse growth. This may be due to a variety of factors such as low soil fertility, drought and heat, insect damage, poor mowing practices, disease, moderate soil compaction, or increasing shade and competition from growing trees.
2. The lawn is soft and spongy when walking across it and responds poorly to regular watering and fertilizer applications. This condition usually indicates excessive thatch (greater than ½ inch). Thatch is a layer of partially decomposed grass stems, roots, and rhizomes (not leaves) at the soil surface but below the green vegetation.
3. Broad-leaf weeds such as dandelion, plantain, and knot weed, or grassy weeds such as crabgrass cover about 20-40% of the lawn area.
The Renovation Process
- Step 1: Determine what caused the lawn to fail.
- Step 2: Have your soil tested.
- Step 3: Eliminate all undesirable weeds or turfgrass species.
- Step 4: Mow the area lower than normal and remove the clippings, leaves and other debris by sweeping or raking.
- Step 5: Remove excessive thatch.

You already realize that, to achieve true health, your diet needs to be sensible and nutritious and you need to get a good amount of exercise. Sadly, there isn’t always enough time or energy for us to really do the things we need to do. At the end of the day, the majority of us want to go home, not to the gym.

If you are diligent you’ll get all of the activity and healthy food choices you need. Here are some of the best ways to be healthy and balanced.
Run the stairs. Walk up the stairs to where you live or work as opposed to using the elevator. While this will be difficult to do if you live on or if your job is on a seriously high level floor in a skyscraper, taking the stairs to a home or office on, say, the fifth floor is entirely do-able. Even if you do live or work on one of the upper floors, you can still get out of the elevator early and climb up the stairs the rest of the way. Most people will decide to be sluggish and take an elevator instead of getting exercise on the stairs. Even just a sole flight of stairs, when travelled up or down a few times a day–can be a great boost to your system.
There are many things you can go after to become healthy. Extensive gym visits and directly defined diets are not always the answer. It is the little things you choose day after day that really help you with weight loss and getting healthy. Being intelligent about the choices you make each day is a start.

Nowadays one can be portrayed as a wanton murderer on a nationally televised program, get killed by police less than 48 hours later, and have the nation invited by television to applaud the death within the week.
That fate befell Cesar Mazariego-Molina, 26, an undocumented worker from El Salvador, who L.A. County sheriff’s deputies said killed rookie Sheriff’s Deputy Nelson Yamamoto in a gun battle. Less than two days after the case was featured on the TV program America’s Most Wanted, New York State police killed him with a shotgun blast to the back of the head.
Mazariego-Molina’s family contends he was the victim of vigilante justice, encouraged by perhaps intentionally erroneous information from the L.A. Sheriff’s Department transmitted by a national television broadcast.
Mazariego-Molina was wanted in the killing of Yamamoto, who died in a shootout at the home of Homero-Isadoro Ibarra in East Los Angeles on March 29. Ibarra was killed in the incident; his children allegedly identified Mazariego-Molina as taking part in the battle.
Sheriff’s Department officials contacted producers of the Fox network’s television program. In a six-minute segment headed “Cop Killers” (4/6/92), the show broadcast photos of Mazariego-Molina along with interviews with angry deputies and Yamamoto’s girlfriend.
Host John Walsh described Mazariego-Molina as a convicted rapist who had murdered his uncle and was a member of El Salvador’s death squads. A detective said of the suspect, “He has no value for human life. Killing, to him, is like a hobby.”
Mazariego-Molina’s family insists that he never carried any weapon, not even a knife. Felix Mazariego-Molina said his brother was never convicted of any crime, and had no connection with the Salvadoran security forces. He said his brother was in New York State, near where he eventually died, at the time of the murder the L.A. Sheriff’s Department alleges he committed.”They can say whatever they want about him, now he is dead,” Felix said.
On April 6, two days after the broadcast, the owner of the Demobrowski Orchard in Plattekill, N.Y., 90 miles north of Manhattan, recognized Mazariego-Molina as one of the migrant workers who tend his apple trees. Police and the FBI were called in.
Within 15 minutes of police spotting him, Mazariego-Molina was shot dead from behind. Although the orchard was cordoned off and searched for two days, no weapon was found either on the grounds or among Mazariego-Molina’s possessions.
Jack Breslin, spokesperson for America’s Most Wanted, said information on the show was provided by the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department. “As any media outlet would do, we report what the police tell us,” he said.
L.A. County Sheriff’s Deputy George Ducoulombier, a spokesperson for the department, could not corroborate any of the charges America’s Most Wanted broadcast about Mazariego-Molina’s background. “I don’t know where that came from,” he said when asked about the death squad charges. “We knew this guy was on the run, and we had a very good relationship with the media out here, and we went from there,” Ducoulombier concluded.
On April 11, five days after he was killed by police, America’s Most Wanted broadcast a second segment on Mazariego-Molina. “Last week,” host John Walsh intoned, “the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department asked for your help in finding the accused killer of one of their own. Deputies feared he might head for the border, but you answered the call. Three thousand miles away, and 48 hours later, the manhunt was over.” Mazariego-Molina’s death was presented as the show’s 197th successful “capture.”

Just days after 5 sanitation workers suffocated to death while cleaning a sewer line in Delhi’s Moti Nagar area, yet another tragedy took place in the city under similar circumstances. According to reports, a 37-year-old sewage cleaner Anil died September 14 while cleaning a Delhi Jal Board (DJB) sewer in west Delhi’s Dabri after the rope from which he was suspended into the pit snapped, sending him plummeting more than 20 feet into the cesspit.
The family was reportedly too poor to even arrange for Anil’s cremation, which had to be paid for via donations from neighbors. After the plight of his family was highlighted on Twitter by journalist Shiv Sunny, many users reached out and asked how they could help.
The boy walked up to his father's body at a crematorium, moved the sheet from the face, held the cheeks with both hands, just said 'papa' & began sobbing.
The man was yet another poor labourer who died in a Delhi sewer on Friday. Family did not have money even for cremating him. pic.twitter.com/4nOWD9Aial
— Shiv Sunny (@shivsunny) September 17, 2018
That’s when online crowdfunding website Ketto started a fundraising campaign on its site for the family. Thanks to the aforementioned tweet going viral, the family is believed to have received donations of Rs. 24 lakh within just a day. That number is now almost at the Rs. 33 lakh mark, and is expected to go up even higher in the coming days.
According to the public relations manager of Ketto, Priyanka Arisham, “the funds shall be utilized for the education & well-being of the children and dignified life for the family. Some amount will be deposited as fix deposit for future”.
Anil’s death could have been avoided had the person who tasked him with the job provided the sanitation worker with protective gear, or had used a stronger rope, as he was warned about the rope not being up to the task by fellow cleaners.
It was a tragic week for the family as Anil’s death came just 6 days after his four-month-old son passed away from pneumonia. Anil is reportedly survived by wife Rani, and three children aged 11, 7 and 3, all of whom live in a single rented room in Dabri Extension.
In case you want to donate to Rani to help her feed and educate her three children, you can do so by clicking through this link. You can at least share the campaign on Facebook because every single share will get one more donation for the family.

Boosted Science |Volkswagen's TSI engines decoded
The international engine of the year award is like the Oscars of the automotive industry; maybe even more prestigious. Automotive manufacturers around the world spend decades in research and development of their engines, trying to find the perfect balance between performance, reliability, efficiency and regulation compliance. And while it isn’t exactly easy to make a large engine efficient and powerful, it is certainly easier than doing it with a tiny one. There are packaging restrictions, a general limit on how much power you can extract from it and you also run the risk of overworking the engine, compromising fuel efficiency and reliability.
In 2018, Volkswagen won the engine of the year award in the sub-1-litre class, with the 1.0 TSI engine – the very same engine we have spent some time thrashing rather recently. All it takes is a drive in the new Polo or Vento to understand why — a smaller, lighter engine, crammed full of technology at a staggeringly good price point. But before we dive deep into the new TSI engines, let’s understand what TSI means.
TSI stands for Turbocharged Stratified Injection, and it is what Volkswagen is using to spearhead its global downsizing effort, as well as the push towards new technologies here in India. Let’s begin with the first part of that — turbocharging. Put simply, a turbocharger sucks in air and forces it into the combustion chamber. More air means you can add more fuel, and the higher pressure air from the turbocharger also results in better combustion, all of which adds up to more powerrrrr. Comprende? Alright. A turbocharger also brings with it heaps of torque, allowing petrol engines to be driven at lower revs, usually peaking as soon as the turbo spools up, while returning great fuel economy.
Now for the second part of it — stratified injection. Stratified injection differs from regular petrol engines by the placement of the injector and where it pumps in fuel. In a conventional petrol engine, the injector sends the fuel into the intake port and a mixture of air and fuel then flows into the combustion chamber. In a TSI engine, the injector directly charges fuel into the combustion chamber, this leads to a lot of benefits. For starters, it allows for higher compression ratios (10.5:1 in both the 1.0 and 1.5 TSIs) without a high risk of the engine knocking, since charge cooling keeps the temperature of the air/fuel mixture low. It also leads to a more complete burn of the air/fuel mixture, and allows for a much leaner air/fuel ratio, with the former giving more power and the latter aiding better efficiency. While all this sounds cool, you might be left thinking that it isn’t particularly new, the Polo GT had the 1.2 TSI engine for almost half a decade, so what’s all the fuss about?
EA211 — the latest engine family from Volkswagen, is what the fuss is about. While the 1.2 TSI from the Polo GT was indeed a TSI engine, it was from the much older EA111 family. And the differences between the two are massive. Let’s start with the 1-litre TSI, doing duty in the Volkswagen Polo, Vento and the upcoming Taigun as well. The new three-cylinder turbocharged engine is more compact than before courtesy a smaller cubic capacity, and more modern construction. It is also lighter, weighing just under 90kg, thanks to aluminium pistons and hollowbored con-rod journals. The engineers have also done away with the balancer shaft to keep the weight low, and used lightweight components in the engine, which are also stiffer so reliability is not compromised. Speaking of reliability, the 1-litre TSI engine is also more robust with a forged crankshaft and con-rods, and integrated camshaft and valve covers. The crankshaft bearing has been coated with polymers to reduce friction during ignition and switching off the engine, while the cylinder head has been designed to ensure quick warm up in cold conditions, also aiding the longevity of the engine.
Volkswagen has also modified the design of the intake port so there is a high flow rate, without affecting the quantity of the flow itself, while the swirling flow helps in ensuring a good air/fuel mixture to get more efficient combustion. The optimised pattern of injection also ensures that all load and speed conditions can be met with the least amount of fuel.
There are also multiple injection patterns depending on cold starts, or the engine being under load at low revs — while climbing a steep slope for example.
With 108.5bhp and 175Nm of torque, the smaller 1-litre engine makes 5bhp more than the one it replaces, despite the lower capacity, and gets the Polo to 100kmph in just under 10 seconds making for one mighty quick car. The turbocharger is fairly small so it spools up quicker, and the circuit length of the intake system has been kept as short as possible to maximise responsiveness. The integrated exhaust manifold allows for the exhaust gases to be used more efficiently and quickly to spool up the turbo. All of this adds up to an incredibly engaging driving experience. The small engine has plenty of grunt and accelerates hard, it enjoys being revved out but at the same time, can be driven and enjoyed sedately. The three-cylinder layout also adds in its characteristic soundtrack – a rorty note that accompanies the bump in performance rather well. All of this means that the 1-litre TSI can cater to the enthusiast, as much as it can to those that are enthusiastic about fuel economy.
The big brother
While the 1-litre TSI is indeed an engineering masterpiece, the 1.5-litre TSI engine takes it to another level. Dubbed the EA211 Evo (we love the name!), it has a lot of the technology from the EA211 family and then some. It is already doing duty in the all-new T-Roc here in India, producing 148bhp and 250Nm of torque, and will also be under the hood of the top-spec variants of the Taigun when it launches next year.
The T-Roc’s engine is punchy and refined, and combined with the DSG gearbox, makes the driving experience truly special. You can barely hear it in the cabin and at the same time, it gives you superb performance.
With a Miller Combustion Process, variable inlet valve timing and variable exhaust valve timing, the EA211 Evo engine is truly state-of-the-art. It also gets an exhaust gas turbocharger with Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG) — common in diesel engines but among petrols it was only seen on the Porsche 911 Turbo till recently! It allows for much faster spooling of the turbo, as well as increased responsiveness even under sudden load change. This gives the 1.5 TSI engine the low-end grunt that makes it so engaging to drive. The plasma coated cylinders, VTGassisted charge air-cooling and cross-flow cooling in the cylinder head, keep the engine running cool even under heavy load. To help with fuel economy, it also gets active cylinder deactivation, which can (almost instantly) shut off two of the four cylinders if they aren’t needed and can also reactivate them the instant a demand for more power is made. Another nifty tool is the coasting function, which disengages the clutch when the car is in Eco mode and the driver has taken their foot off the accelerator. This not only saves the fuel that would otherwise be burnt in keeping RPMs up, but the friction from engine braking is gone and the car is essentially coasting in neutral.
These two engines are at the core of what VW has planned for India in the next few years. With the first fruits of the massive India 2.0 investment being served up to us next year, these two engines will be at the heart of the Taigun mid-size SUV. Volkswagen is focussing on localisation, and that will allow these engines, and thus the Taigun, to be priced even more competitively. TSI. Those three seemingly unassuming letters pack so much of a punch, and never fail to get our heart rates up!


JERUSALEM (JTA) – After a Kassam rocket attack seriously injured two brothers in the Israeli border town of Sderot, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert again came under intense pressure to launch a major military strike against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Israeli media, opposition and coalition politicians, and Sderot residents all are urging the government to hit Hamas hard.
Jerusalem is considering two possible courses of action: assassination of top Hamas military and political leaders or a large-scale ground invasion of Gaza to smash Hamas’ military infrastructure.
Hamas leaders, including Ismail Haniyeh, the former Palestinian Authority prime minister, reportedly have gone into hiding.
Olmert’s dilemma is not so much over whether to order the assassinations – Israel already has been carrying out targeted assassinations in Gaza, though not of Hamas’ top leaders – but over the proposed land invasion.
After the Winograd Commission’s harsh report two weeks ago on his performance during the 2006 Lebanon war, Olmert is understandably hesitant about getting into a second unsuccessful military imbroglio.
Over the past several weeks, Palestinians in Gaza have fired hundreds of rockets at Israeli civilian populations in and around Sderot.
Last Saturday night, brothers Rami and Osher Twito, 19 and 8, were hit while walking in town. Both suffered multiple injuries; Osher had to have his left leg amputated.
The attack prompted a massive protest in Jerusalem highlighting Israel’s inability to stop the Kassams. Sderot residents marched through Jerusalem on Sunday carrying remnants of Kassam rockets and placards calling on Olmert to resign. They also stopped traffic in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
Under banner headlines, the nation’s newspapers demanded action. Even the left-leaning daily Ha’aretz carried an editorial titled “Restraint is not possible.”
Politicians on both sides of the political divide were equally blunt.
Likud opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu lambasted government ineptitude and called for an immediate invasion of Gaza. Interior Minister Meir Shitreet urged the government to warn the residents of a Gaza neighborhood to leave and then wipe the neighborhood off the map.
Tzahi Hanegbi, the chairman of the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, said Gaza is an Iranian forward position, and he called on the government to assassinate Hamas’ political leadership and topple Gaza’s Hamas regime.
According to some reports, the government already has ordered the Israel Defense Forces to step up assassinations of Hamas operatives and to target the organization’s higher echelons.
Besides Haniyeh, Hamas military chief Ahmad Ja’abri and other top militia commanders have gone underground. Gaza sources say only their close bodyguards know where they are.
Hamas has warned that it would mount an unprecedented retaliation if any of its leaders were assassinated. Spokesman Sami Abu Zuheri said such an Israeli attack would force the organization to use “everything it had at its disposal.”
As for a ground invasion, the IDF assessment is that a full-scale land operation in Gaza could cost Israel hundreds of soldiers and cause even more damage to the home front than the 34-day bombardment of northern Israel in the summer of 2006, when Hezbollah fired some 4,000 Katyusha rockets into Israel. Furthermore, the IDF has told Olmert the Air Force could get better results after winter.
Most important, Olmert is still working on coordinating a strategy for Gaza with the international community. As with Lebanon, Israel wants to see an international peacekeeping force move into Gaza to control the situation in place of the IDF. Thus far, however, no overseas countries seem ready to commit troops to such a dangerous mission.
In the meantime, Olmert seems to be playing for time. Remarking on the anger of the people of Sderot, the prime minister said that while he sympathizes with their plight, “rage is not a policy.” And he declared that “there is no way to put an absolute end to terrorism with a single blow.”
Most Israeli pundits believe that with or without international coordination, a large-scale invasion of Gaza is inevitable. The only question seems to be when and how big the operation will be.
The IDF could be ordered to capture all or part of Gaza, and to stay for months or just weeks or days.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak told the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Monday that he had ordered the IDF to be ready to launch a ground operation and to deal with all the potential implications, meaning various units are rehearsing and coordinating specific missions.
It also means Barak and IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi are honing their operational plans.
“It won’t take two days or two weeks, but the IDF will stop the Kassams,” Barak declared.
The ground offensive could come at any time.
Hamas’ strategy seems to be to push Israel into a cease-fire before any ground invasion occurs so Hamas can claim victory.
Hamas also is trying to give the impression that it is the party under attack, and that the Kassams are being fired in retaliation for Israeli attacks.
“If Israel stops its attacks, we will ready to discuss a cease-fire,” Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum declared Sunday. But Olmert refuses to deal with Hamas unless it renounces terrorism and recognizes Israel.
Over the past month, Hamas has been trying to create a deterrent balance, hitting back hard after successful Israeli strikes.
For example, after Israel killed 16 militants in cross-border raids last week, Hamas fired 135 rockets over the following five days. This is meant to deter further Israeli raids and give the impression that Hamas, not Israel, is retaliating.
The Hamas thinking is that the group might be able to force Israel into a cease-fire because of Israel’s reluctance to embark on a ground offensive in the wake of the 2006 Lebanon experience. But Hamas leaders could be misreading the degree of Israeli anger at the Kassams and the government’s resolve to stop them.
The result could be a war in Gaza, with grave consequences for Hamas.
Indeed, some Israeli observers are talking about a looming Palestinian catastrophe on a par with the Palestinian defeat, or “Naqba,” in the 1948 war with Israel.
“An extremist and irresponsible leadership is leading its people to disaster,” Maj. Gen. Shlomo Gazit, a former IDF intelligence chief, declared. “That’s what happened 60 years ago, and although no one wants it, that is what is about to happen again in the not too distant future.”

Greenville, SC - Mike Mecklenburg, a member of the city of Greenville's Design Review Board, was found shot to death early this morning, according to the Greenville County Coroner's Office.
Michael William Mecklenburg, 59, of 109 E. Earle Street, was found dead inside a vehicle at about 3:15 a.m. on Power Street from what appeared to be multiple gunshot wounds, Coroner Parks Evans said.
The manner of death is "suspicious," Evans told The Greenville News. The coroner's office is investigating and is trying to determine more specifically Mecklenburg's manner of death.
City Councilwoman Amy Ryberg Doyle, who appointed Mecklenburg to the DRB post from her council district, said that he had been working as an Uber driver in recent months.

When we welcome our customers at our Mountain Annie’s marijuana dispensaries, we first ask what they are looking for and what wellbeing targets they have set for themselves.
Some of our customers are searching for relaxation or recreation. Others are interested in keeping their body more active. And some are trying to ward off pain and inflammation.
Once we have discussed your needs, we will browse through our cannabis strains to see which one best fits you. When doing our assessment, we take into account THC and CBD content as well as the total composition of the strain in terms of terpenes, flavonoids, and other natural compounds.
There are over 700 cannabis strains to choose from. Some are high in THC and help with relaxation; others are high in CBD and provide different benefits. A few cannabis strains are balanced: they have a more-or-less equal amount of CBD and THC.
Once we can figure out what works for your mind and body, we will have achieved our goal: to help you get the most out of cannabis.
What Is Cannabis Made of?
Cannabis is a plant that contains hundreds of botanical compounds. There are more than 100 cannabinoids as well as numerous terpenes, flavonoids, minerals, and vitamins.
Amongst the many cannabinoids, THC and CBD are the most abundant. However, apart from these famous cannabinoids, cannabis also contains CBCA, CBG, THCA, CBN, CBC, and many others.
Cannabis has been known for thousands of years: there is evidence that people 5,000 years ago recognized its health potential and used it as an herbal remedy rather than a psychotropic and hallucinatory natural compound.
With the legalization of CBD and the increasing liberalization of recreational marijuana, more research is directed towards the potential health benefits of marijuana.
What about the Other Marijuana Cannabinoids and Natural Compounds?
Research suggests that, when all botanical compounds of cannabis work together, they act better and more efficiently. The various compounds enhance each other in a synergetic way that produces a more potent effect. This is called the entourage effect.
The presence of differing quantities of the various cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids in cannabis makes each strain unique. For instance, terpenes are aromatic oils that give cannabis its characteristic smell and scent.
Cannabis contains dozens of terpenes, such as linalool, pinene, limonene, beta-caryophyllene, myrcene, humulene, and many others. These make each strain unique.
For example, some cannabis strains have more beta-caryophyllene, which gives them a characteristic woody and peppery scent. This will translate into a different aromatic experience than other strains that are high in, say, linalool, which is the scent of lavender. And strains high in limonene, the terpene that gives lemons their characteristic scent, will have a more citrusy aroma.
Not only does the aroma change, but so do the properties of each strain. For example, the combination of myrcene and linalool in a cannabis strain may help with sleep and relaxation. On the other hand, a marijuana strain with high beta-caryophyllene content can be more beneficial in warding off pain.
This is true of cannabinoid content as well. For example, CBDA has been found to be anti-inflammatory, while CBN could be helpful with sleep. CBC also has anti-inflammatory qualities and CBG may have pain-relieving qualities.
With so many cannabis strains to choose from, you are spoilt for choice. Discuss your specific needs with your budtender to evaluate which marijuana strain is best for you.
What Is a High-THC Cannabis Strain?
A high-THC cannabis strain means that THC is the dominant cannabinoid in this strain. High-THC cannabis strains typically contain over 20% THC. Our eshop carries several high-THC cannabis strains, such as Passion Fruit, Gelato, or Mandarin Cookies.
Why Should I Choose a High-THC Cannabis Strain?
THC has been widely researched for its effects on our health. Preliminary findings are promising, suggesting that THC may increase appetite and help with mental health and stress. Some people take high-THC strains to help with sleep problems and improve their sleep quality while others are choosing THC to stave off chronic pain.
THC is also showing encouraging results when it comes to inflammation. Finally, THC has antioxidant qualities that could be helpful with free radicals and body stress.
People looking to relieve their mental stress may benefit from a high-THC cannabis strain.
On the other hand, THC has also been linked to health hazards as it may raise your blood pressure and strain your heart. It may also trigger schizophrenia or psychotic episodes, especially in younger people.
That’s why some people prefer using a high-CBD cannabis strain.
Why Should I Choose a High-CBD Cannabis Strain?
CBD is a cannabinoid found in abundance in industrial hemp. It is also highly prominent in marijuana, depending on the strain.
CBD has been found to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. There are also encouraging findings regarding CBD’s potential as an anti-stress and antidepressant.
A few marijuana strains are relatively high in CBD content but at Mountain Annies, we do not carry any strains that are CBD-only. Every strain is THC or a blend of THC and CBD.
Should I Choose a Balanced THC-CBD Strain?
By consuming CBD alongside THC, THC’s extreme side effects may be reduced so that the consumer feels the full benefit of both cannabinoids in a gentler way.
A balanced strain contains 5 to 10% of THC and CBD.
Consumption of high quantities of THC can lead to anxiety, paranoia, and short-term memory issues. Evidence suggests that when THC and CBD content are balanced, CBD may counterbalance the intoxication of THC and its hazardous health effects, thus making marijuana safer and more palatable to customers.
More Is Not Always Better
We are often asked about THC potency and richness. Our customers sometimes ask us for the strain with the highest THC content, hoping that a higher THC composition will be more helpful with their targets. However, just like you wouldn’t choose your wine based on the alcohol content alone, you should consider THC content as just one of the many factors informing your choice.
Besides, like many things in life, more is not always better.
Crucially, research suggests that THC may be biphasic. This means that it offers a different—and often opposite—effect when taken in small doses compared to big ones. For example, in small quantities, THC is relaxing and soothing. However, in larger doses, it can cause anxiety and paranoia.
Likewise, our body cannot handle large quantities of any substance at once. When the quantity of THC is beyond what our mind and body can manage, the surplus THC content is discarded through our liver, lungs, and other organs. Its only effect is not to make us feel better but to put undue pressure on our bodies.
When it comes to choosing the right cannabis strain, THC content is only one of many variables. You should sample the flavors of each strain and experience its effects on your body. Our budtenders are always willing to explain to our customers the cannabinoid profile of the many strains we carry.
With more knowledge, our customers can make educated and helpful decisions for their health and wellbeing.
Visit Our Mountain Annie’s Dispensaries for Excellent Service and Advice
The most important step when buying THC and CBD is to have a trustworthy and dependable marijuana dispensary.
We only carry the highest quality cannabis strains, from recognized and well-researched brands.
Our budtenders are welcoming and knowledgeable and will guide you through the numerous choices of marijuana that exist. Whether you want something to keep you relaxed, happy, active, focused, or inspired, we are sure to have the strain that best fits your needs.
You can choose from flowers, pre-rolls, edibles, tinctures, vaporizers, and concentrates to find the THC product that will help you reach your wellbeing goals.

Des Moines, Iowa (CNN) Sen. Bernie Sanders is likely years away from deciding whether he'll run for president again in 2020, when he'd be 79 years old on Election Day. But by keeping his base energized through visits -- including a boisterous event here last weekend -- and with his allies increasingly stepping into local races and gaining power inside the Democratic organizations they felt locked out of in 2016, Sanders' message is clear: The 2020 Iowa caucuses will take shape around him.
As with so many of his predecessors, President Donald Trump is inclined to recall historical events to better frame his own performance and political agenda. President Barack Obama was said to favor a "team of rivals" in building his Cabinet, a term the historian Doris Kearns Goodwin coined in a book on President Abraham Lincoln and his administration. Republicans have for years channeled -- and sought to align themselves with -- President Ronald Reagan.
(CNN) On Thursday, President Donald Trump finishes his first six months -- yes, months -- in office. It has been an uneven debut for the corporate executive and reality TV star turned commander-in-chief, marked most notably by clashes with political rivals and the press, a failed promise to repeal and replace Obamacare and the persistent drip of new details about Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Muck Rack makes it simple to find people, tweets, or articles that mention any name, keyword, company, hashtag etc. We've compiled this guide to help you make the most of your search.
Selecting a term
Start searching tweets, articles from media outlets, articles mentioned in tweets, journalists'
names, titles and bios with some suggested searches:
Companies or Topics (e.g. iPhone, Microsoft)
Phrases (e.g. "cloud computing") — use quotes to keep the terms together
Twitter handles (e.g. @username) — returns those who have mentioned or replied to
Names (e.g. "David Pogue")
Hashtags (e.g. #sxsw, #london2012)
Bio details (e.g. vegan, Olympics, father)
Muck Rack's Advanced Search allows for many boolean operators.
Find results that mention multiple specified terms, use AND or
+. For example, ensure each result contains both Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg by
searching Obama AND Romney or Obama + Romney.
Use the operators OR or , to broaden your search when you'd like either of
multiple terms to appear in results. (This is the default behavior of our search when no operators
are used.) For example, search for democrat OR republican to find results that refer to
Democrats and/or Republicans.
Use NOT or - to subtract results from your search. For
example, searching Disney will yield results about the Walt Disney Company as well as Walt Disney
World Resort. To exclude mentions of Disney World, search for Disney -World or Disney
When using one of these operators with a phrase, enclose it in quotation marks. For example, you can
find results about smartphones excluding Apple's iPhone 4S by searching smartphone -"iPhone
Exact case matching or punctuation
If you're searching for a brand name or keyword that relies on specific punctuation marks or capitalization, you can
find results that match your exact query by adding matchcase: before the keyword you're searching for, like matchcase:E*TRADE .
Use parentheses to separate multiple
boolean phrases. For example, to find journalists talking about having fun in Disney World or
Disneyland, search for ("disney world" OR disneyland) AND fun.
An asterisk can be used to search for any variation of a root word truncated by the asterisk. For example, searching for admin* will return results for administrator, administration, administer, administered, etc.
A near operator is an AND operator where you can control the distance between the words. You can vary the distance the near operation uses by adding a forward slash and number (between 0-99) such as strawberries NEAR/10 "whipped cream", which means the strawberries must exist within 10 words of "whipped cream".

Title: Super Mario Odyssey
Platform: Nintendo Switch
Developer: Nintendo EPD
Release date: Out now
tl;dr:: Mario’s latest outing could be his greatest yet.
Price: $60 / Â£45
Family Focus: Click here for more information.
Super Mario Odyssey is incredible. Go buy it now. Why are you still here? You haven’t got a Switch and you want me to convince you to shell out for a brand new console to play this exciting new Mario title? Okay, well let’s break the game down into segments and see if I can convince you at all.
Super Mario Odyssey is the latest in the mainline titles for the Mario franchise and oh boy, does this game stand out from the rest! I’ve never really been a big follower of Mario as I grew up with a Sega Mega Drive, or a Genesis to our American cousins. So Sonic was my hero growing up until I started watching Dragon Ball, and then Goku became my hero, and still is to this day… shuddup. I didn’t really get introduced to Mario until I owned a Nintendo 64 and borrowed a copy of Mario 64 from my friend, but Mario still didn’t really jump out at me because I had already fallen in love with Ocarina of Time and Banjo Kazooie.
A gaming relationship with Mario seemed like a lost cause as I grew up; I moved on to more and more JRPGs, leaving platformers behind me until I went to college and met a few new people who showed me Super Mario Sunshine. This game was incredible; I felt my passion re-ignite for platformers from the 90s as the colours, characters, and level design burst from the screen into my retinas. That feeling was re-ignited again when Nintendo presented Super Mario Odyssey at the Nintendo Switch Presentation in January; I just had to get this game. I had never been so excited for a Mario game before.
The objective in Super Mario Odyssey is to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser, who is attempting to marry her this time. After some events, Mario wakes up to a talking Top Hat called Cappy, whose sister has also been kidnapped by Bowser. So, you know, simple Mario storytelling, except you’re exploring massive kingdoms with various different locales. For example, one kingdom is a lake, one kingdom is made entirely of food, and one kingdom is essentially New York City. You make your way to all these kingdoms using the Odyssey, a hat-shaped flying ship that is powered by Power Moons, which are exactly like the Power Stars from previous entries except moons, you obtain these by completing tasks such as freeing a citizen of the kingdom from a trap or solving a puzzle.
Visually, Super Mario Odyssey is gorgeous, just so colourful and vibrant; each kingdom bursts with colour, especially the Food Kingdom, with the various different fruits and vegetables popping out from the rosy pink background in a glorious 1080p. In terms of performance, Odyssey runs mostly at a solid 60fps only with the occasional dip in frames when too much happens on screen; this is most prominent when entering New Donk City from the level entrance, but generally, it only loses a few frames for a couple of seconds.
Now, let’s discuss controls, as there is a variety of ways to play Super Mario Odyssey, and it’s very clear which is the best way to play. You can play either with the Pro Controller, the Joy-Cons in the grip, the Joy-Cons detached or in handheld mode… can you tell me which is the best way to play? Correct! The detached Joy-Cons are definitely the way to play as to perform certain actions, the game requires you to shake them in certain directions to perform the various moves. This becomes an issue especially in handheld mode, as you are shaking the screen about, plus you look a tad crazy on the bus when you’re shaking your Switch to make Mario spin his cap… Now, it’s possible to perform these moves without the detached Joy-Cons, but it’s a lot harder to do than just shaking the controllers.
Overall, Super Mario Odyssey is a strong contender for Game of the Year, but as a Legend of Zelda fanboy, I hope it doesn’t take the title away from Breath of the Wild. The plot may be typical Mario but that doesn’t matter as Odyssey is definitely a delight to play, with ability to possess enemies and friendly characters it adds a flair to gameplay and with so many Power Moons to collect (around 883, to be precise) you can definitely find a lot to do, and with the portability of the Switch, you never have to stop adventuring even when you to travel.
Unless you’re driving.
Then you probably shouldn’t.
With so many titles released this year, Nintendo has definitely landed back on their feet, and if you haven’t got a Nintendo Switch yet, I highly recommend you grab yourself one with Super Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild, as these two games alone make the Switch a worthwhile purchase. With Metroid Prime 4 and full adventure style PokÃ©mon from Game Freak on the way, the Nintendo Switch is only going to get better!
- Replayablity is strong as there is content post game.
- Visually stunning.
- Strong and steady framerate giving Mario a fluid feel.
- Some moves restricted to detached Joy-Cons.
Super Mario Odyssey is rated E for Everyone and PEGI 3. It’s Mario, so are meant for kids… although that piano in Super Mario 64 still gives me chills to this very day.
This review is based on a retail copy of the game purchased for the purposes of this review.

Northern Ireland Regional Overview
Read up about the nation's top golf courses or listen to Kevin Markham, a golf author who has played every course in Ireland. He discusses The Open Championship coming to Northern Ireland and much more...
Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom but has an identity and a charm all of its own. It is a beautiful country and, in Belfast, it has a vibrant capital city that is now attracting increasing numbers of visitors from all over the world.
It is a popular destination for Americans, which is hardly surprising - it is from here, after all, that thousands upon thousands of their ancestors boarded ships to cross the Atlantic in search of a new life and the American Dream. Presidents, actors and pop stars alike flock to Northern Ireland to track down long-lost relatives. Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, even Barrack Obama, all claim to have Irish blood in their veins.
And anybody from across the pond who decides to visit Northern Ireland can be absolutely certain of a very warm welcome. Just ensure that your constitution is in good shape because the chances are that you will be expected to consume sizable amounts of alcohol during any trip here.
The economy is booming as tourists flock to Northern Ireland to take in the breathtaking scenery, the rugged landscape, the hills and loughs (lakes) and to spend time with people who are among the friendliest on earth.
And there is another very good reason for getting there soon: in 2019, The Open Championship will be staged at the magnificent Royal Portrush Golf Club. You can be sure that after this magnificent links has been seen on hundreds of millions of television screens around the world that the clamor to play it will reach fever pitch.
It is estimated that The Open will generate an extra £70m for the local economy. When it was announced that Royal Portrush would host the 2019 Open, Peter Robinson, the First Minister, said: “This is wonderful news, not only for Royal Portrush Golf Club, but for the whole of Northern Ireland. The decision to bring The Open back to Northern Ireland is a tremendous vote of confidence in the game here and follows the huge success of the Irish Open in 2012, the first in European Tour history to sell out. The R&A’s decision to invite Portrush to join The Open rota is a ringing endorsement of Northern Ireland and I know we will deliver an event that we can all be proud of.”
It is just reward for the achievements of Rory McIlroy, Graeme McDowell and Darren Clarke, who are all proud Northern Irishmen. McDowell was actually a member at Portrush.
So why not beat the crowds and consider a golfing holiday in Northern Ireland before that huge demand happens? Northern Ireland is split into four counties and Royal Portrush is located in County Antrim, where you will also find many other glorious golf courses.
Then there is the village of Ardglass, with its castles and tower houses it retains much of its medieval glory, and one of the castles has been adapted as the clubhouse at Ardglass Golf Club. Times have changed for Ardglass in the past 1,000 years. It was an important port with a natural harbor that was used by the followers of William the Conqueror, long before the city of Belfast existed, to import silks, wines and other luxury goods. King John, of Magna Carta fame, is reputed to have stayed in an area close to the original castle when in Ireland and, although badly worn by the ravages of time, a 13th-century stone crest from the traders of the City of London remains in the building. It is claimed that the clubhouse at Ardglass, parts of which also date back to the 13th century, is haunted.

A litigator is a lawyer who focuses their efforts on legal conflicts that work their way to the court room. The majority of these litigators are members of law firms, various government agencies, and private clients. Their job can be very stressful, and extremely intense, as is the education they are required to obtain beforehand. The requirements for becoming a lawyer do not vary much from state to state, and are pretty straight forward, and strict.
As an attorney, their experience of wins and losses is public knowledge, just like any proven case of negligence. This ensures that all attorneys follow the standard practices and expectations set forth by the state for competent representation.
What Kind of Education Does a Litigator Typically Have?
Litigation lawyers must graduate with the minimum of an undergraduate degree, followed by much more rigorous education. They are required to pass the Law School Administration Test and obtain a doctorates’ degree in “Juris Doctor,” and are required to pass their state’s bar examination. While every law firm has their own experience requirements for practicing at their law firm, the experience requirements can extend up to a five-year limit.

It’s barely January, and already some of the biggest security flaws ever are rearing their ugly heads. Meltdown and Spectre are big, bad, and ready to attack if you’re not prepared. Find out more here!
Meltdown. It’s been called “one of the worst CPU (central processing unit) bugs ever found,” (Newsweek) and it’s ready to take over your laptop, computer, and phone. And? It’s not alone. Spectre, another vulnerability just like it, is just as bad, if not worse. What are these major cyber security flaws?
Meltdown affects Intel chips that might be found in your desktop, laptop, or phone. It lets hackers bypass the hardware barrier between applications run by users and the computer’s memory, potentially letting the criminals read a computer’s memory and steal passwords, personal information, or any sensitive data. And you thought the Equifax breach was bad!
The other exploit, called Spectre, affects chips from Intel, AMD and ARM. These are typically found in mobile devices, like phones and tablets. Spectre lets hackers potentially trick otherwise error-free applications into giving up secret information.
“Phones, PCs, everything are going to have some impact, but it’ll vary from product to product,” Intel CEO Brian Krzanich said. (Reuters)
These security breaches are more and more common (and more and more dangerous), and the general public is not hearing about these fast enough. Google investigated the flaws found in these computer chips as far back as June 2017. They have notified the manufacturers, including Intel, who provided some statements about the vulnerabilities.
Why is this so big?
The defect affects the so-called kernel memory on Intel x86 processor chips manufactured over the past decade. Intel is a big company. It manufactures products for the majority of all computer companies. Chances are, if you own a computer or mobile device of some kind, you have been interfacing daily with Intel tech.
Here are just a handful of examples of companies that use Intel:
Basically, all the computers out there who use Intel, AMD, or ARM chips could be exploited and hacked. Due to these two security flaws you could be the next victim!
How do you prevent it?
Luckily, the manufacturers know about these (because they all read this blog, or something like that) and they are ready to fight back. They have released security patches to prevent attacks using the Meltdown and Spectre exploits, and are most likely available in your current software update.
Here’s what Intel said:
“Intel has begun providing software and firmware updates to mitigate these exploits,” they said in a statement. “Contrary to some reports, any performance impacts are workload-dependent, and, for the average computer user, should not be significant and will be mitigated over time.”
Google Chromebooks, all Android phones, and all Amazon services are up to date and secure (if you installed the latest update). Apple updates for their computers are on their way, as well as for iPhones and iPads. If you have a device and you think it might be vulnerable, check for a security update right now. Most major manufacturers have announced they are going to implement security changes in the near future, so keep your eyes peeled.

Guest Post by: Robert Goodman
New start up CEOs dooms their new company by pinching pennies in the wrong place. Instead, what they need are pivotal insights from experienced consultants who can provide the guidance the entrepreneur needs for producing a realistic, genuinely implementable business plan.
Your business plan is not some academic document – instead, it is your crucial road map to successful implementation of your vision for your new company.
The most important part of any business plan is the detailed financial projections that are the basis for the entire business model of every new company. There are four sets of underlying assumptions that drive all the projections:
1. Start up costs – what will you need to spend up front to get the company going?
2. Sales forecast – the single most important set of assumptions for your whole plan – how many of what, will you sell, for how much, at what costs, when?
3. Personnel – how many, of what kind of employees, will you need at what cost, when?
4. Operating costs – what will it really cost to be in business, generate sales, give necessary sales support and exemplary customer service and cover all back office expenses?
Every part of your financial projections is just arithmetic – based on those four sets of driving assumptions. Because it is just arithmetic, many entrepreneurs make the often fatal mistake of assuming it is trivial and can be done easily and cheaply.
But – if you guess wrong on any of these assumptions, then most of your projections are wrong – including two of your most important projections: your cash flow and your capital needs. If you guess wrong on your assumptions that impact these, then you will probably run out of money and your new company will fail.
Number crunchers and bean counters are great at arithmetic. So are newly minted MBAs. And, they can be relatively cheap to hire. But this cheap hire may be the most expensive mistake you will make as a start up CEO.
These cheap hires almost never have any experience base or expertises that help entrepreneurs make meaningful assumptions. So, entrepreneurs who use this approach for their business plans end up with GIGO: garbage in, garbage out projections that are misleading at best – but more often, fatal in the end.
As the adage goes, the only thing worse than going the wrong direction – is going the wrong direction enthusiastically. By basing your business plan on the wrong assumptions, you end up going the wrong direction – probably enthusiastically – believing your bean counter-generated plan will be the path to wealth.
Entrepreneurs who have thought they were saving a few hundred dollars by hiring cheap number crunchers or inexperienced MBAs, end up losing everything they’ve invested in their new company – all because they were penny wise – and dollar foolish – or rather, thousands, hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars foolish. Cash is always limited for start up companies – but this is one place you do not want to get trapped by false savings.
What’s the best way for you to avoid the second biggest mistake for your new start up company?
Hire an experienced management consultant who specializes in start up companies – particularly a consultant who has started at least a dozen of their own companies. That way, you get insights based on real life experience that will help you end up with a genuinely implementable plan for the future – your future and the future of your new start up company.

Software is usually done on the web, over the telephone or courtesy an application in a matter of moments. When searching for a quick payday loan there are a number of terms and conditions that you identify. This may include ‘payday loans Uk‘, ‘cash advance head lender’ if you don’t ‘secured pay day loans’.
Guaranteed payday loans?
Make an attempt and get away from lenders just who bring one hundred% guaranteed loans, because this should be irresponsible lending sometimes. Lenders offering secured pay day loan might not be completely honest otherwise following the statutes set in motion because of the Economic Carry out Expert (FCA). Browse the fine print of bank before applying due to the fact it is unlikely the borrowed funds might be 100% guaranteed.
Many short-term loan providers promote a number of loans and you may fees choice, it’s well worth noting particular loans is actually impractical to find. Funds such ‘instant pay check loans’, and you can ‘guaranteed pay day loans’ is nearly impractical to look for. Loan providers giving ‘guaranteed loans’ will often have a top acceptance speed in contrast some other loan providers. However it is impractical that they will manage to agree every single mortgage. Around commonly of several kinds of borrowing from the bank readily available being a hundred% guaranteed.
A reputable head lender tend to would checks to make sure your are able to repay the total amount borrowed. Even lenders giving guaranteed payday loans may decline a software if the they don’t really fulfill a particular requirements.
Payday loan try a short-term economic substitute for getting by up until the end of one’s month. For all of us when you look at the financial challenge, an online payday loan is impede in the place of assist their disease. Thanks to this 100% protected payday loan are not possible.
Secured fund for less than perfect credit
People who have worst or no credit rating may want to seek ‘guaranteed payday loans’. Regardless of if really loan providers commonly manage inspections so that the financing might be paid back, a less than perfect credit score isn’t really always considered. Particular loan providers will provide money to people that have terrible records, if they can prove he’s got a stable earnings and money left immediately after its normal outgoings have been taken into account.
Pay day loan in the place of borrowing from the bank monitors are frequently an increased risk with the lender, compared to finance where borrowing from the bank inspections are carried out. For the reason that it is impossible off knowing should your borrower have a reputation defaulting into costs, or while making money late. This will indicate they might fees a higher interest rate to account fully for the excess risk, or they could tend to be a number of other charges.
Some lenders providing ‘protected pay day loans’ who do maybe not create borrowing from the bank checks get inquire about some form of security to-be put forward since insurance rates, should the borrower standard to their costs. Yet not that it nevertheless does not always mean one applications is ‘guaranteed’, and might still end up being denied.
Protected online pay day loans
Payday loans software can be complete on the web seemingly quickly. Very loan providers commonly ask you some questions relating to your current disease so that they can confirm you can easily pay off the mortgage. If you possibly could assist you have enough money to repay the fresh new loan, you’re more likely to meet the requirements.
Even if you have the ability to prove you could have the ability to pay back the mortgage, a loan provider providing ‘secured payday loans’ has been unlikely being render a hundred% acceptance speed.
When searching for a quick payday loan, using on line may be the very better solution as compared to loan shops or banking institutions. The reason being there can be usually way less documents to have online financing and you will a decision can often be hit much faster. However, like with loans, offering an ensured mortgage is going to be irresponsible in some instances and https://safepaydayloanstoday.com/installment-loans-ak/ could potentially result in financial difficulties in some situations.
Agents compared to. head loan providers
Particular people offering ‘100% accepted secured payday loans’ is brokers, and never a direct lender. Brokers try to be the center man within borrower while the lead financial – it violation short-term loan applications onto direct lenders. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a broker or a direct financial providing secured cash advance, you should invariably find out if the loan is in fact a hundred% guaranteed as it’s unlikely are.
While ‘protected pay day loans’ may seem like the best option having layer a financial crisis, it’s really worth noting these particular variety of short term loans are practically impossible to find. Check lenders small print to prevent having fun with an reckless, non-FCA recognized lender.

***image2***Bilâinâs Friday demonstration met with severe Occupation attacks this week as over 500 people marched to the lands isolated by the Apartheid Wall. Each demonstrator carried a Palestinian flag to symbolize the united front of the national liberation struggle against the Occupation. Representatives of political parties and members of the Palestinian Legislative Council joined the demonstration in which Soldiers wounded 10 people.
More than 500 people all bearing national flags marched from the village mosque to their lands now isolated from their owners. United around the national struggle, demonstrators denounced the Apartheid Wall and the Occupation. As soon as the protest reached the razor wire positioned close to the Wall, Occupation Forces charged at the demonstration and attacked protestors with sticks and gun backs.
Palestinians continued to surge towards the Wall determined to tear down the Apartheid structure. Soldiers then unleashed a mixture of sound bombs, rubber and live bullets and tear gas into the crowd. The village youth defended the demonstration and their land with stones.
The attacks of the Occupation beat the protesters back to the village and injured 10 people in the process. Four were left seriously wounded. Muhammad Jamal was hit by a tear gas canister to the head. Wajdi Shawkat took a tear gas canister fired into his chest, while Adeebi Hussain, 60 years old, was hit by a rubber bullet in her head. Hussain was in her house in Bilâin at the time and received the bullet as Occupation Forces stormed the village. Two journalists were injured including the correspondent for Al-Ayyam newspaper whose hand was broken by a rubber bullet.
Uprooting of the village land began in February 2005. The Occupation has stolen over 2500 dunums of the villageâs land for the Wall and for the expansion of the Zionist colonies of Modâin Illit and Mattityahu. Resistance in the village continues to be strong with Palestinians refusing to ever accept the Wall and Israeli Apartheid.

Austin wind turbine ordinance on hold
Published 10:00 am Tuesday, May 4, 2010
The wind turbine ordinance issue has been discussed, debated and dissected by Austin officials for nearly a year.
So what difference does a few more weeks make?
With a proposed law that would allow the structures to be built throughout the city — with conditions — up for a vote Monday night, City Council split evenly. Because of the tie vote, the issue is likely headed to a council work session in two weeks for more discussion and then, possibly, back to the whole council in early June.

The tie vote equated to three in favor — council members Jeff Austin, Dick Pacholl and Janet Anderson — and three opposed — Brian McAlister, Steve King and Marian Clennon. Of course, council is designed with seven members, but councilman John Martin was absent Monday. City administrator Jim Hurm said after the meeting that he hadn’t received notice from Martin regarding the absence.
Council also couldn’t turn to a proposed tie-breaking procedure — having the mayor vote. The city charter commission has discussed giving the mayor that power, but council failed to pass charter changes, and the issue of mayoral voting privileges seems destined for a public vote during November’s election.
Therefore, the wait on wind turbines continues.
But despite Monday’s stalemate, there were some passionate pleas made for the proposed ordinance, which would allow turbines in all city zones, though all projects would require individual permitting and would be subject to a list of restrictions. The restrictions would include a limit on height — 75 feet in residential areas — and blade size, as well as a stipulation that a tower be set back from a property line at a minimum distance of 1.1 times a tower’s height.
The argument for the law was articulated by, among others, Marv Repinski, a retired Austin pastor. Repinski, citing the recent oil spill in the Gulf Coast area, said it is apparent that clean energy, like that generated by wind towers, is needed now.
“For the city, it’s the way to go for the future,” he said. “It’s just a small smidgen of where we need to go as a nation.”
Pacholl echoed similar sentiments in his argument for wind turbines.
“I think we have to look, basically, into the future,” the councilman said.
But the argument against — largely centered around possible detrimental effects the towers could bring to residential areas — was also laid out.
Councilman McAlister said citizens opposed to the ordinance wouldn’t go away, and would simply be agitated more if and when construction begins.
“I think allowing them in residential areas is a bad idea,” he said. “You can be quite sure if one does pop up, (council) is going to hear about it.”
McAlister was channeling the concern of a handful of residents from Oak Park Village, where the idea of neighboring business owner Jim Stiles of Super Fresh Produce putting up a tower has been widely criticized. The group has stated that turbines would ruin aesthetics, property values and quality of life in their area.
“This looks like it’s going to go (forward) regardless of what we think,” resident Bob Clark said at a previous meeting. “There are people out there upset.”

Sorry boys. The gloves are coming off time is too short. 99% of mankind already has the mark of the beast. But if they seek God with their whole heart he will save their soul. LOOK at the foreheads. The fallen angel wings is the mark. Or call it the wings of a beast with lowered head in shame. If one did not take the back scene their chances for soul survival is much better. It was always “right arm or forehead”.
Jesus Brought Us Truth this is why the TV (Image of the Beast) trashes those who call Him their Higher Power & Son of God Almighty. Jesus is the only The Word of God because He brought to us God’s Truth. Jesus was sent by God The Father Almighty Creator of the Heavens and The Earth.
But now God took His words from Earth rolled up like a scroll. That means He also took the security seal of Daniel OFF ALL BIBLES. And someone sent a strong delusion to cover up the supernatural events hiding them from most people who…Don’t know the wolf’s precepts of error and evil from God’s. They never had God’s words in their heart. They didn’t Love His precepts so they cannot see or remember that they are dramatically changed in ALL bibles.
To fulfill the law of God & bring in the age of Grace New Covenant.
To overcome death & Hell which He did when in the grave.
To assure to us the keys to death and Hell.
He came to deliver God's children from spiritual bondage & oppression in this life.
He came to heal the children of God by the laying on of hands in Jesus name.
He came to give us life more abundantly.
He came to bring God's words to us.
He came to bring us prophecy of God.
He came to bring God's children eternal life by believing in God and in Him.
He came to give spiritual gifts unto God's children.
He came to bring us The Holy Spirit in His name by prayer and the laying on of hands.
To warn us of many things. He warned of evil demons, of vile Legion (religion), to warn of the narrow path, the prophecies he gave confirm to the children of God that we are in the end of the age.
13. He came to release many from purgatory the top floor of Hell for those who think they deserve Hell and condemn themselves. They have not that right.
Jesus is returning to Earth to overcome the beast system. And He shall return in power and in might to fill God’s chosen few with the full filling of His Holy Spirit. To ensure that the meek inherit the Earth. He is returning for battle. Evil was allowed to rein for only a season. Why? So the children of men could choose their eternal homes. One and all. All humans had to make their eternal choices on earth between evil and good.
We shall know as well as we are known. Then remain these three eternal gifts. Faith, Hope, and Love. But the greatest is Love.
Mike from around the world. “They cannot handle the Truth!” Says the Dark Knight. Let them employ spiritual emotional coping skills. Says Jazweeh Scribe of God. The belt of Truth shall be their armor. The armor of the evil one is the lie.
Its unusual for Jazweeh to get a prophecy from a deity. She also insists she is not a prophet. However these angels she sees flying are the four angels written in Revelation who pour out their viles of purification/disaster/&renewal of and on Earth here and now.
Please see her prediction article given in February for detail about THE RED ASH being poured out on mankind to burn the Earth and banish man.
Do the many really believe in that which their eyes cannot see? When it comes down to it…No. They often just follow beliefs that are socially acceptable. Few these days have escaped the hive mind.
Furthermore, only the dysfunctional who harm themselves or others can be appropriately labelled “Delusionally Dysfunctional” due to emotional trauma response behavior.
If you don’t see & remember history quite differently than the majority of mankind, fear not. According to the powers on high, it’s evident you do not need to be shown that the supernatural is REAL. Perhaps you already believe in God and are spiritually safe. And perhaps you are being protected by God from the perplexing realizations of seeing first hand a fluid reality.
The Third Angel Speaks to the Scribe of God Named Jazweeh
Revelation 16:8 is at hand.
The angel is as a firebird brilliant and beautiful sacred and true she is God’s beautiful Deity. And she flies now. She says she can only be seen and heard by The Spirit. She is the sacred. Watch carefully how ye speak of deity spoken of as “fallen” for they are all sacred anointed vessels of God’s holy will.
I call her Kachina because God told me of the Blue star coming back in 2012 or so. The prophecy of the Blue & Red Kachina is the same as the four angels in Revelation.
Long Story Short…Late July 2022 is the rapture date for the elect chosen few. Who are they? If I tried to categorize the elect I would fail. Because some are active 144 in the spiritual army of God but others who will be raptured are 133, those who go before the throne. These are people after God’s own heart. He knows them and they Him. Not all of the chosen few are long time spiritual workers. They could be babes in Christ.
Brother’s And Sister’s The Hour, is Nearly upon us! Wit freedom of speech being hindered , …The Voice of Truth.. is Being slowly Closed Down… How Much Longer , will it be Till the Voice of Truth, is Taken away…..? The Day that the voice of the Bridegroom , and Bride, Not heard….( Which is the ( Voice of Truth) Is Near to Be Taken, to the marriage Feast…In The CLOUDS! Can any one say RAPTURE!? Love John B
And Finally I Am Shown the Happy Ending-The New Earth
And the Meek who shall dwell upon it. Forever being respectful of Earth for to respect Earth is to respect Mankind. For Earth is the foundation of the survival of Mankind. And will be respected.______The Preacher
I believe in my heart of hearts that I am inspired as a Scribe of God.
The Home Coming for The Meek (the great multitude saved by Faith in God) & The Chosen Few
WORMWOOD (W.W.) By Laura E. & Jazweeh.com
Likely the next prophecy fulfillment shall be the wormwood fulfillment. W.W. will bring on the lake of fire and the worst parts of the great tribulation.
Buy some binoculars and prove what I am telling my readers.
