As a grower, you have the option to either grow cannabis outdoors or indoors. Many indoor growers want increased yields for less effort and time. There are ways through which you can increase the yield of your indoor cannabis.
Ways to Increase Indoor Cannabis Grow Yields
No matter the strain of cannabis you grow, you can increase its yield at harvest time. However, you must understand that the genetics of the seed will greatly affect the final result and eventual yield of your plant. Another important thing is that you master the basics of growing cannabis. You should also know how to deal with cannabis issues that may come up. These two things are essential to increasing the yields of indoor cannabis. Below are ways to make sure of increased yields for your cannabis plant.
1.Use plant training
You can boost the yield of the cannabis you grow indoors by using plant training. Training your plant while it is still in the vegetative phase is very advantageous. This is true as you will have an increased number of flowering sites. It is also important that you research the style of training that is best for your grow room. The following are styles of training you may consider to help boost your indoor cannabis grow yield:
- Screen of green (SCROG): You will have a more established canopy when you use SCROG to train your cannabis plant. Through this style, you can perform pruning after 5 nodes. The plant will channel all of its energy to grow.
- Low-stress training: This style of training requires tying down the tallest points of the plant. Afterward, you can then allow them to grow, so they can reach their original height. However, this shifts the plant’s hormones, causing it to grow a heavy canopy with a bushy top.
- Pinching/topping: Removing the developed shoots disrupts Auxin distribution. This results in the dominance of natural apical in the cannabis plant. This style encourages a bushy cannabis plant that has long branches, as well as reduces the height of the plant.
2.Using carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide can be used to grow big buds for the cannabis plant you grow indoors. For your cannabis plant to photosynthesize, it is also important to have a balance of carbon dioxide, nutrients, and intense lighting. The levels of CO2 detected outside of a grow room is about 400 parts per million (ppm). The levels utilized by plants are between 1200-1500ppm. This results in a higher big bud yield. However, it is important not to overpass this level to prevent stress. You should remember the following important things when using carbon dioxide to supplement the cannabis plant you grow indoors:
- Avoid carbon dioxide above the plant and ensure that the grow space is completely closed off
- When diffusing the CO2, ensure that you stop the in/out air extraction
- The lights need to be at a minimum of 600W/M2
- Using CO2 early into 12/12 or the earlier part of 18/6 is better
- You can turn up the temperature to up to 300, and also pay attention to the humidity levels because the plant will stop air extraction if it increases too much
3.Feed soil with carbs
You can increase the indoor cannabis grow yields by feeding the soil with carbs. The cannabis plant will get a rich carbon tonic from sugar-based plant feeds. It is exactly what the beneficial fungi or bacteria in the soil will use. As a result, you must maintain your soil food web. The easiest way to make sure the food web is stable is to use un-sulfured black strap molasses. This way also allows the cannabis plant to take in the micronutrients and NPK present in the soil. They need this to grow frosty, fat, big buds for improved yield.
4.Plant a big-harvest cannabis strain
The cannabis plant is very diverse. It has genetics that can either be Sativa, Indica, or hybrid dominant. What this implies is that an indoor grower can choose a strain based on the flowering time, yield, height, and structure. Typically, the Sativa plant will grow tall and long. Indica on the other hand will stay shorter, and the bush they produce will be the size of a golf ball.
Additionally, you can get the desirable traits from Sativa and Indica when you use hybrids. It is also recommended that as you grow your indoor cannabis for increased yield that you research the strain that is best for you.
5.Use the right grow system
There are different growing methods for the cannabis plant you plant indoors. The amount of yield greatly depends on the method you use. Here are some hydroponic systems for you to consider:
- NFT systems: No growing medium is required for this aside from a coco plug, Rock wool cube jiffy, or what you started your clone or seed with. The roots of the plant will then grow to pipes or a closed table that is always given a rich nutrient solution.
- Dripper systems: This is the entry-level system for growers using hydroponics for the very first time. Setting up the drippers to meet the needs of your cannabis plant every day is quite easy.
- Deep water culture (DWC) systems: The DWC system needs to be mastered so that you can get huge plants and enormous yields. Once set up, the roots will be in an aerated nutrient solution and suspended in a clean hydroton or pot.
- Aeroponics: Aeroponics is similar to the DWC system. Here, the roots of your cannabis plants are suspended in a chamber. The chamber makes use of either low or high-pressure spray nozzle. This system has a very fast growth rate and impressive yields.
You can improve the yields of your cannabis plant regardless of if you grow them indoors or outdoors. The 5 ways detailed above will have a large impact when you grow your cannabis plant indoors. Master them, and you are sure to enjoy larger yields and a more potent product than the average grower.

Regional Network Operator Groups and other operator forums
Since 1993, ISOC has worked cooperatively with other segments of the Internet community to develop and deliver educational programs that support knowledge sharing and capacity-building efforts. In the mid to late 1990s, ISOC held global INET conferences which featured workshops on network technology to promote technology transfer to developing economies in the early stages of internetworking.
As the Internet spread and the number of technologists in developing regions grew, many regional communities wanted to spread the value of this information deeper into their own regions. In addition, many communities also saw the value in having more local regional forums in which matters pertaining to network operations and technology could be discussed among peers and local social as well as technical networks could be formed.
ISOC's partnerships with network operators groups and regional workshop organizers help more than 500 people from around the world every year receive valuable Internet technical training.
It was in this culture of knowledge and experience sharing, which ISOC members have helped foster since the early years of the Internet Society, that many of the regional Network Operator Groups (NOGs) and operational community conferences were born. The NOGs tailor their emphases and overall agendas to meet their specific regional needs, drawing on local and global expertise to enrich the knowledge of operators in their region and grow the next generation of Internet technical leadership. As a natural extension of our mission, ISOC is pleased to partner with many of the NOGs and regional workshop conferences that serve the network operations community in emerging Internet markets.

Some of the world’s finest pearls are found in the Persian Gulf. For hundreds of years the ancient pearling industry was the major source of trade within the UAE. But in the 1930s the Japanese introduced cultured pearls to the market at much lower prices and the demand for natural pearls crashed by 1950.
In recent years pearling has made a comeback with increasing demand for natural pearls on the rise. Traditional pearling methods are once again being reinstated, and now visiting groups have the chance to find their own treasure as well.
Jumeirah Group in Dubai launched a traditional pearl diving program in the oyster beds of the shimmering shallow waters of Jebel Ali. Participants climb onboard an authentic wooden dhow to learn about ancient pearling traditions and then try it out themselves. If you’re lucky enough to find a gem of your own, it’s yours to take home.
The diving experience begins at the wave–shaped 598-room Jumeirah Beach Hotel, which recently underwent a renovation incorporating a new beach-inspired design to 70 guestrooms.
From the hotel, participants are then taken by bus to Palm Jebel Ali, one of three manmade islands found 20 minutes outside of the city.
The group is welcomed with a hearty breakfast, all the while being briefed for their upcoming dive. They are then robed in a traditional diving outfit, consisting of a flowing white cotton shirt and large trousers that tie at the waist. After everyone is dressed, they step aboard the dhow while carrying freshwater urns on their shoulders.
The crew, made up of locals descended from pearl diving families, begin the journey with story-telling. Upon arrival at the sea beds, group members scour for oysters, and those who aren’t up to the challenge have the opportunity to snorkel instead. Once everyone’s oyster buckets are full, the crew provides a lesson in oyster shucking, followed by a traditional lunch of typical Emirati fish and rice.

Ariana Grande is a pop superstar. She has had many record-breaking albums and she has become the first solo artist to hold the 3 top positions on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
However, it is not just the impact that she has had as an artist that makes Ariana stand out from the crowd, it is also her support for the LGBTQ community.
Since she reached the mainstream in 2013, Ariana has always worked very closely with the LGBTQ community and has acted as a solid and reliable ally through her music and actions.
Let’s explore some of the main times when Ariana has acted as an ally of the community!
She Wrote A Letter To The LGBTQ Community
Ariana is a very strong ally, and she came out and said so in a letter she wrote to the community! In this letter, written in 2018 for Billboard Pride, she stated that she was indebted to the community and inspired by the individuals.
She vowed to create anthems for the community and stated that she celebrates the community and supports them immensely. Who Could be more of an ally than that?!
Ariana Abandoned Catholicism
Ariana grew up as part of the Catholic Church. However, she left. In 2013, she explained that this was because of the church’s position on LGBTQ rights.
She felt that the Church was not supportive of different types of people and this did not sit well with the star. Ariana’s brother is gay and a big part of the community, so Ariana was standing up for him.
She also stated her disdain for the Catholic church due to their opinion that working women are wrong.
Supported LGBTQ Community From The Start
Ariana started out in 2013. From the start of her career, she always made it clear that she was a strong ally to the community. She did this by communicating with her fans online.
Ariana tweeted support for the community from this stage in her career and she spent a lot of her childhood surrounded by gay and transgender friends.
She Speaks Up Against Online Bullying
Back in 2013, when Ariana was the star of Victorious, alongside some other actresses she started a Digital Drama Campaign.
Using Seventeen magazine as the basis for the campaign, she worked to raise awareness surrounding cyberbullying which was and still does, affect the LGBTQ+ community more than others.
Ariane helped to educate people on how to prevent online abuse for things such as homophobia.
As the LGBTQ+ cause gains momentum, gay men are seen as being represented much more on TV and in films and music videos. Ariana normalizes not just gay men, but also gay women.
In her music videos, Ariana often depicts two women being intimate with one another. Seeing this on screen is very important for normalizing the relationships between women.
Her Music Supports LGBTQ+ Rights
In her song, ‘ Break Your Heart Right Back, Ariana sings about a gay love affair. In the song, a boy cheats on his girlfriend with another man.
Having representation about things like this in the mainstream media is great for the community as they are very underrepresented.
She Encourages Her Young Fans To Talk About Sexuality
Ariana encourages her young fans to talk openly about sexuality. She talks directly to her gay fans. She also encourages those who have not come out to their friends and family yet.
She tells them not to rush and that they have her support. For some young people, having this knowledge will encourage them to find the strength to come out in their own time.
She Promotes LGBTQ+ Fundraising And Charities
Back in 2016, Ariana worked with MAC to create a line of lipsticks. Her line, called MAC Viva Glam, was created to benefit the MAC AIDs fund.
Through raising money and awareness for HIV, she is showing support for people in the community all over the world.
She Was A Guest Judge On RuPaul’s Drag Race
Not only was Ariana a guest judge on the show, her music often features as songs used in the lip-sick battles. In season 7 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Ariana was invited to be a part of the judging panel. She was on episode 5 of this season.
In RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars season 4, her song ‘Into You’ was featured when the contestants had to lip sync for their place in the competition!
Drag Race Star Shangela Is Featured In Her Album
In the song NASA, Shangela is the voice of the recording of Neil Armstrong’s “One Step For Man” speech at the beginning of the song.
Grande’s gay half-brother Frankie Grande introduced the two and Grande recorded the Drag Queen on her phone during the short interaction.
She Has Collaborated With Troye Sivan
Troy Sivan is an openly gay musician who Ariana Grande collaborated with in 2018. In the hit song, Dance To This, the pair wrote, sang and took part in a music video together.
She Always Shows Visible Support
During the iHeartRadio performance, Ariana waves the rainbow flag to show support to the crowds. She also supports her LGBTQ community in this way often constantly reiterating her support in different ways.
Headlined Manchester Pride
Ariana headlined Manchester pride in order to show support to the community and her fans who are part of the community.
She chose Manchester pride because of the terrorist attack that happened during her concert in Manchester where 22 people died.
She received some criticism for this for the fact that she is a straight artist headlining a pride event.
She responded to the criticism by saying that she wanted the chance to celebrate the community that had been so supportive, regardless of how people decide to label her or her sexual orientation.
Ariana Grande is a big supporter of the LGBTQ+ community. She is a great role model and she has given so many of the community strength and visibility.

tanka, other poetry, & insignificant writings of janet lynn davis
A winsome nod to a delicate, pretty little flower (a type of spirea, if I'm not mistaken). I love the idea (which you captured so well) of a flower's presence through a life(from childhood to bride):"the many yearsbefore I could picturemyself dressed in white"
A lovely, subtle little poem with layers of meaning hidden in the contrast between "early blooms" and "many years."
Thanks, you two. This one has a particular meaning for me and my life, but I enjoy hearing others' valid interpretations of it. An interesting feature of the tanka form/genre? The ambiguity that typically is left within the lines so readers can participate?Yes, bridal wreath is a spirea. It's one of the few plants we seem to be able to grow here without a lot of difficulty. By the start of autumn, it's looking fairly scraggly, almost burnt from the harsh summer sun (so I have to trim out a few branches). But it starts returning to life in late Feb. What I don't like: that the blooms only last for a short while - because they're marvelous!
I saw this in Moonbathing. It made me remember my own teenage years when I dreamed of getting married, but felt I would never be so lucky because I was shy and wore glasses. The agonies we go through when we are young seem so small now that there are more important things to worry about.Adelaide


(CNN) – Former presidential candidate Michele Bachmann threw her support behind Mitt Romney on Thursday.
Standing on stage with the presumptive GOP presidential nominee at an event in Portsmouth, Virginia, the Minnesota congresswoman said she was there to "lend my voice and my endorsement to Mitt Romney as our president to take the county back."
– Follow the Ticker on Twitter: @PoliticalTicker
Bachmann invoked rhetoric she used frequently on the campaign trail and urged voters to limit President Barack Obama to one term in the White House.
"There is no question in my mind Americans will go to the polls and they’ll be saying `Mr. President you’re fired!’ and instead we will soundly stand for someone who believes in America," Bachmann said to loud cheers.
She pointed to what she called one of the biggest factors in the election –energy– and argued Romney would be the best leader to further tap into domestic resources.
"Mitt Romney’s future for America would be a legalization of American energy, a legalization of millions of high paying jobs," Bachmann said.
As she stepped aside for Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell to take the stage, Romney offered a gesture of approval.
"Beautifully done," he told her.
But the congresswoman hasn't always had kind words for her former opponent. Prior to ending her presidential bid in early January– shortly after a disappointing finish in the Iowa caucuses– Bachmann took several shots at Romney over the healthcare law he passed as Massachusetts governor.
"This is the seminal issue of Barack Obama's presidency. And this is the chief liability that Mitt Romney has going into the presidential race," Bachmann said in an interview with CNN on January 1.
She added: "He is the only governor in the history of the United States that has put into place socialized medicine in his state. And that's going to be our nominee to stand up against president Obama?"
The congresswoman, however, has repeatedly said in recent weeks it was only a matter of time before she would officially Romney.
As a candidate, Bachmann initially ran with large tea party appeal, frequently bucking what she described as the more establishment faction of the party that Romney represented.
Her endorsement comes weeks after former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum dropped out of the race, a move that essentially locked up the nomination for Romney.
Asked repeatedly why she was holding out in her support for Romney, Bachmann would not go into specifics but said she was working "behind the scenes, bringing together all factions of our party."
"As the line says in the 'Wizard of Oz,' 'All in good time, my pretty,'" Bachmann said on CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer" last week. "It will happen."
National Review first reported the news of Bachmann's upcoming endorsement.
- CNN's Jim Acosta, Peter Hamby and Ashley Killough contributed to this report.
Yet another reason not to vote for the MIttster. Anything that crazy woman endorses is something I'll never buy!
A nut case endorsement. Too bad Romney didn't have the sense to send her back to Minnesota.
Wh - Michelle Bachmann has endorsed Mitt Romney?! Now I'm going to vote for him for sure!
Hey - maybe he'll have her in the Cabinet! Won't that be nice?
Just one more "principled" republican. Their hyprocisy is in your face this year.
Does anyone really care who that moran Bachman endorses? With endorsements like that Mitt is sure to win. ( just kidding )
Hilarious.......she won't win the next election anyway.....maybe Romney will choose her his running mate.....naw....he wants to win
Who cares other than her fixated followers? She has about as much substance as a corn flake e.g.. flake!
"Take the country back" to what Michelle? Another GOP era of lost tomorrows? Great endorsement for an empty suit.
Just another justification for not voting for Mitt.
Ahhhhh, I love the smell of "status quo" in the morning ... NOT!
"Bachmann will do anything for attention."
Well, she did manage to get about 300 people to show up for the "big" announcement. That's more than Mitt's been drawing on his own
Lynda you know good and darn well that Romney's rally audiences are photoshopped! The only guys that show up are the paid computer graphics people! lol!!
Wow, she was actually coaxed into a photo shoot with Romney on the same stage. The other "endorsements" have been without a photo op. I wonder why? I want to see Santorum and Gingrich actually do a photo shoot with Romney when they eventually "endorse" Mitts. I don't think we'll ever see that. Just like we will never see Bush endorsing Mitts on stage. Why is that? Because Bush is poison to Mitts and the Republican Party. Tea Pottiers don't want Bush close to them either.
Just what Mitt needed an endorsement from Ms Nut Job. Great strategy here, now that the nomination is sealed lets pretend we're all good buddies. Explain this one to the teabaggers you love so much, Micha.
What, did anyone expect Bachmann to endorse Obama? I wish she'd go away.
It's pretty mind-boggling to think there could be an undecided voter anywhere wondering "Hmmmm, who does Michele Bachmann want me to vote for?"
Duh!?!?! – theres only one candidate left... (I gonna wait till all the other horses break their legs before calling a winner of the race.)
Really? 1- Who cares? 2- What took her so long? 3- Who else was she going to support? 4- Is she still hoping to be VP?
Just what Mitt needed, an endorsement from his good buddy Ms Nut Job. Now that the nomination is sealed 'why can't we all just get along'. Explain this move to your Teabagger supporters, Micha. Or is this just your way of cutting your own deal?
One must also take notice that her "endorsement" only came after Mitt Romney's adviser quit.....being gay would have most likely been the key disagreement for Bachman.
Michelle LOVES history… especially the part where Admiral Washington parted the Mississippi and led the slaves out of Nevada!
This woman is so vacuous I'm amazed small animals aren't sucked into their ears.
Where's the bathroom? I have to take a mitt.
Not very important NEWS!
God continues to smile upon our duly elected President Barack Hussein Obama.
Speaking of the Wizard of Oz, Romney is the perfect combination of the Lion, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Man: a coward, no backbone, and no heart, that's Romney for you!
The irrelevant endorsing the incompetent.

If you are a beginning writer, you may have written essays or term papers in high school and college. If you went to graduate school, you may have written a thesis. However, unless you wrote for a school paper or other publication, your experience in writing nonfiction that regular people read may be limited. Here’s how to avoid common nonfiction errors.
Don’t Start with a Description of the Weather Unless It’s the Point of Your Story
One of the most famous clichés in literary history begins, “It was a dark and stormy night.” This beginning of the 1830 novel, Paul Clifford, by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, gets worse.
Avoid dark and stormy nights. The only valid reason to begin with a weather report is if it’s highly relevant. You might write, “It was a hot day in Oklahoma” if you’re covering the effects of long-term drought in this state.
You’ll have greater effect, though if you write, “The dusty fields of eastern Oklahoma hadn’t seen rain for 300 consecutive days. Farmer Harry Palmer looked up at the blue sky and said, ‘Weather is going to kill us.’”
Don’t Begin With “It was”, One of the Common Nonfiction Errors
Why? It’s a weak beginning. It’s static. You want an opening sentence that either goes somewhere or strongly sets up the central issue. No rain for 300 days is an issue. Even if you’re not a farmer, you know that things aren’t going to go well for the people of eastern Oklahoma. If authors can continue to hook you emotionally, you’re more likely to identify with them.
“It was,” while good to avoid in its own right, also illustrates the dangers of beginning with any passive verb form. Consider the difference between
“She was bored.”
“She considered whether she would be less bored if she murdered her husband.”
Many readers won’t read beyond the first page if they don’t like it. Some may drop out after the first sentence. You don’t want dropouts. Work that opening.
Bring In All the Senses
Those dusty Oklahoma fields can even smell dusty. The farmer could sneeze. Nearby cattle might breathe asthmatically. You can taste the dust coating your tongue. The dry heat might make your skin feel as if it’s shrinking.
Think of all the subtle sensory ways you can bring your reader into your story. This, too, increases identification and involvement.
Stay Out of the Story—Unless It’s Your Story
If you are writing a memoir or autobiography, the above obviously does not apply. A story about medical fraud, though, or a nursing-home scandal, or vice at the highest levels of government will only have you as a central character if you were in any way involved with those events.
In this vein, if you have interview material to use in your article or book, consider carefully whether you need to include your questions. You might find that necessary, but you don’t need to do so verbatim.
“Senator Parsons, what do you consider to be the most important medical reform?” (followed by an answer) is less effective than “My top priority is to address reforming the medical billing system,” Senator Parsons said.
It’s your story because you’re writing it. It will have your name on the cover. Move your authorial voice to the background to avoid one of these common nonfiction errors.
Start with a dynamic beginning; give the reader an idea of what is coming; engage all the senses, and what you write is compelling.

I’ve been working on my Dream quilt. And oh has it been fun. I perused my Freddy and Gwen Collaborate Again book for block ideas. I’ve added a few baskets.
A churn dash
Some wonky monkey wrenches.
And flying geese.
Threw them together with the blocks I had already made and the top of my Dream quilt is done.
It’s just bigger than 60″x 72″. And believe it or not I still have blue scraps left.

So before investing your hard earned green, catch a good vibe for the variance and the mean.
â€“ The Speculation Blues
o you speak riskese? Citizens of Japan speak Japanese, lawyers speak legalese, and leading investment advisors, casino statisticians and insurance actuaries speak â€œRiskese.â€? Riskese is the essential language of investing and is used to discuss topics of risk, return, statistical significance and time. Returns and risk go hand in hand. You cannot expect high returns without taking risk. People are perfectly comfortable talking about the returns portion of the investment process, but how squeamish do they get when they realize they will lose money on their investments? After the decline of 2008, people are far more aware of this possibility, but they are still looking for that perfect investment with small risk and big returns. People are also still looking for a weight loss pill that will allow them to continue eating country fried steak, massive cinnamon buns and ice cream on a regular basis. Neither exists.
Problems Lack Of Understanding One of the primary deterrents to investors earning market rates of returns is their lack of understanding of the relationship between risk and return. The natural tendency of investors is to want returns without the risk. Because risk is the source of

text: Shane and I like to go here quite a lot for a little walk around the canal and locks. I always remember my mum taking me here as a kid with my brother and watching all the boats on the canal during the summer. We went there for a walk this past weekend while the weather wasn’t too great, but we still had a great afternoon out and we actually got to see a couple of boats moving through the locks which is so amazing (but slow) to watch if you get the chance. I’d actually love the chance to go on a little canal boat holiday and just travel around for a week or so to all the different places – though I’m not sure I’d enjoy going through the locks. How is your week so far?

Laura Kurella: Delicate delight of fingerlings
God put us on this earth to enjoy its abundance, not deprive ourselves of the very things that bring us joy, like food.
However, diet fads often take us to extremes, and this behavior is far from new.
In the 1930s, the grapefruit diet called for eating grapefruit at every meal. In the 1950s, the cabbage soup diet limited your diet to little more than cabbage soup. In the 1970s, the Scarsdale diet cut out carbs and in the 1990s the Atkins diet pushed high-protein foods. In the 1980s, the zone diet asked for a slightly more balanced approach, but by the 2000s, South Beach diet said to cut out those carbs.
In recent times, we’ve heard about Paleo and Keto, each which calls for heavy restriction in what you eat. However, since we have bodies with different needs, it is best not to diet at all, but eat specifically to your own body’s needs.
I think Gillian Michaels said it best in a recent comment regarding Keto. She said that, since every cell in our body is comprised of fats, carbohydrates and proteins, it’s a “no-brainer” that our body needs all three to stay balanced and healthy.
Fad diets do share a common denominator: the restriction of “junk” empty calorie, non-nutritive food, the true source of most weight problems.
Avoidance of “junk” food and processed ingredients will help you lose weight and you can get back to eating food you love, like potatoes, a long as you buy them in the produce section.
Personally, I love the delicate, papery skins and buttery taste of fingerling potatoes, which naturally grow smaller than regular potatoes and tend to look knobby, giving them that odd “finger” shape.
Fingerlings offer a flavorful, creamy texture when completely mature. One serving of these babies will take up only 3 Weight Watchers freestyle smart points.
It’s high time we start eating to nourish our whole body again, by eating a balanced diet each day.
Here are flavorful ways to add a healthy serving of “baby love” to your family's plate today. Enjoy!
Prep time: 5 minutes. Cook time: 25 minutes. Total time: 30 minutes. Yield: 4 servings.
1 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes, cut into uniform-sized sections
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 to 3 sprigs fresh sage
3 sprigs fresh thyme
6 cloves garlic, left unpeeled
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus for sheet pan
Fine natural sea salt
Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Place a baking sheet inside the oven to heat. In a medium bowl, combine potatoes, rosemary, sage, thyme, and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper then toss well. Remove pan from oven, lightly coat with olive oil, then spread potato mixture onto pan. Place pan back in oven, reduce heat to 425 degrees, and roast for 20 minutes, turning midway through, until crispy on outside and tender on inside. Serve immediately.
Luscious lemon little spuds
Prep time: 5 minutes. Cook time: 55 minutes. Total time: 60 minutes. Yield: 4 servings.
1 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes, scrubbed, halved lengthwise
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoons kosher salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces, divided use
4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Flaky sea salt
In a large straight-sided skillet or a Dutch oven, combine potatoes, lemon juice, kosher salt, and half of the butter. Add enough clean, cold water to just cover potatoes. Over a medium-high heat, bring to a boil and cook under a simmer until potatoes are tender, 20–25 minutes. Increase heat to high and boil rapidly until pan is almost dry, 15–20 minutes more. Arrange potatoes in the skillet so that they are cut-side down in a single layer. Reduce heat to medium and cook potatoes, undisturbed, until water has evaporated and cut sides of potatoes are deeply browned, 5–10 minutes. Using a thin metal spatula, scrape skillet to cleanly release potatoes. Sprinkle with parsley and add remaining butter to skillet. Toss until potatoes are well coated then serve sprinkled with sea salt.
Petite “parmed” potatoes
Prep Time: 10 mins; Cook Time: 30 mins; Total Time: 40 mins.
Yield: 4 servings.
1 1/2 pounds mixed color fingerling potatoes
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided use
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut fingerling potatoes into halves.
In a cast iron skillet, combine potatoes, butter, olive oil, garlic, parsley, half of the parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Stir and mix until potatoes are fully seasoned. Place skillet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until potatoes are slightly crispy and tender on the inside. Let cool for 5 minutes, top with the remaining parmesan cheese and serve.

Brazilian Sausage and Beans
F&W's Grace Parisi smartly substitutes dried jerky for traditional but harder-to-come-by carne seca in this Brazilian stew.
Food & Wine's senior recipe developer, Grace Parisi, is a Test Kitchen superstar. In this series, she shares some of her favorite recipes to make right now.
Whenever I made feijoada, which was pretty often, having lived with a perpetually homesick Brazilian au pair for two years, I would rack my brain for a source of dried beef, or carne seca. After getting my husband a membership to the Jerky of the Month Club for Father's Day, it dawned on me that jerky was a perfectly acceptable alternative. This easy version is one I make when we're out camping, because everything is either dried or vacuum-sealed, needing no refrigeration. A perk: Using jerky that is highly seasoned requires even fewer ingredients. Between the andouille and beans, there's no need to add salt either. SEE RECIPE »

OutsaPop Trashion coming soon to Etsy
Well, the recycle fair is over and I´m just so tired... Two days of crafters, recyclers and talking trashion. Handed out about 200 business cards.. It was so much fun and I met so many new people and brands like Remake EkoDesign, Ainokainen, and Defender just to name a few. It seems recycle crafting is live and well in Helsinki.
Now, here come the good and bad news... The bad news is that I sold only 6 items during the fair sooo most of the fair was just trashion PR. Now the good news: I have decided to finally open my own Etsy shop!! All the stuff that I made for the fair and did not sell will be available soon in my new OutsaPop Trahion Etsy shop (fashionably late of course). And what Helsinki people passed, you gained :) Just give me two weeks to take some proper pictures of the stuff and learn the shopkeeping bizz.. Stay tuned.

i've been fighting off a bug lately, and i think that makes me want simple food that's still comforting - homey food.
i had to return to ash box again today,
since i had no appetite or desire to think of a better place,
but it couldn't have been more perfect!
tomato on bagel with broccoli corn chowder,
and kimchi (again) egg with brown (germinated) rice.

dinner at soy to cleanse the aftermath of the wrath
(= burger dinner last night at pink pony, undocumented).
we hadn't been back here in 5 years or so!
kenchin jiru(vegetable & broth soup), spicy tuna & avocado bowl,
curry rice & croquette, and black sesame tofu pudding for dessert.
they were all so good, just a little small in portion.
Wednesday, September 16, 2009
another meal at café mogador.
i got my old favorite, avocado sandwich,
but their burger is damn good - i even suspect they mix in lamb meat,
it tastes meatier than other burgers.
(although the burger i had later that day at pink pony killed me - not in a good way - both the richness and the portion was too much!)

first meal at an nhau, the long-waited new vietnamese on bedford.
the food was decent, the beef bún and the pho both.
except they were too pricey for the portion, and compared to chinatown.
unless i have a dire need for a bowl of pho, i will be defaulting with the bahn mi shop next door for my bún as well as the drinks.
Saturday, September 12, 2009
birthday dinner at yokocho.
octopus sashimi (which wasn't raw, but still good).
yakitori skewers of beef tongue, chicken hearts, and duck w/scallions.
one of the best unagi-don (grilled eel bowl) we've had.
and spicy tuna sashimi & grilled yellow tail collar <3 br="">
then for some dessert a couple doors down at cha-an:
got two of my favorites, zenzai (top) and black sesame creme brulee (bottomw two).
that black sesame creme brulee might be my favoritest dessert - not too sweet, nutty, earthy, perfect with the ice cream & the crisp topping it.3>
Friday, September 11, 2009
breakfast at cafe mogador early in the morning.
their food is always good - halumi eggs, my favorite, alongside long espresso.
one of my first coffees in a while that kept me up all night!
i also went to see my friend aya's installation in a display window space at macy's herald square. they're amazing, please go see if you're in NYC!
Tuesday, September 8, 2009
second meal back on my bike!
random trial dinner at the new japanese joint, sui ren.
2 for 1 sapporo, chinese style pork bun,
yaki onigiri with spicy cod roe, duck ramen,
and squid okonomiyaki.
the decor kind of put us off in the beginning, because it looked super fancy,
though very tastefully done.
maybe i'll try their yakitori menu next time.

Making fermented rice is a really easy way to “dip your toe” into the joy of fermenting foods.
It is simple and almost foolproof to make fermented rice tasty and healthy if you follow a couple of steps. The added bonus is that you will improve the nutrition of the rice and get probiotics at the same time when you take this extra step of fermentation before making rice.
Table of Contents
What is fermented rice?
Fermented rice is a type of rice that is made from exposing rice to water and yeast or certain bacteria over a period of time, allowing the carbohydrates to break down a bit and also to allow probiotics to develop in the rice.
The process of fermenting rice or other foods changes the taste too, usually giving the rice a more complex flavor, which can be tangy, boozy, or even a little bit carbonated.
Fermenting rice is an ancient technique for preserving rice and is used in many countries on a daily basis as a way to prepare rice. After the rice is fermented, you can make various sweet rice recipes, steamed rice, rice bread, flatbreads, cereals (porridges), or rice cakes with either fermented brown rice or fermented white rice.
The end result is much healthier than plain cooked rice and an added bonus is that fermented rice is gluten-free. Keep in mind, you will end up with more sticky rice (aka glutinous rice) due to the extra soak time.
Types of Fermented Foods
Eating fermented foods is perhaps the most important choice you make when you eat every day because the health impacts are tremendous.
Rice just happens to be super easy to ferment on your own at home. Other examples of fermented foods are raw sauerkraut, aged cheese, buttermilk, yogurt, kimchi, kombucha, natto, fermented carrots, and miso.
Indian-style fermented rice is called tapai rice and is made with tapai leaves, while one type of Chinese-style fermented rice is called jiuniang.
Fermented rice health benefits
By fermenting rice, you are increasing the nutrition content in foods that are available to be absorbed into your body. This is because the fermentation process reduces phytates, trypsin inhibitors, and lectins in foods, which are known as anti-nutrients.
Basically, by reducing phytates and anti-nutrients, you get more nutrition and less gut upset [R]. The release of enzymes within the grain occurs when the rice is fermented, and the enzymes then break down phytic acid and trypsin inhibitors so that you can absorb the food better.
Fermenting brown rice versus white rice
There is a big difference in the nutritional content of fermented brown rice compared to white rice, however.
Brown rice is going to contain around 4 times as much zinc as white rice and is going to have more fermentable fibers as well.
This is because when rice is processed to become white rice, most of the minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, selenium, calcium, and phosphorus are stripped away. Brown rice also has about 50 percent more heart-healthy potassium than white rice.
There is no amount of fermenting of white rice that can overcome the losses of nutrition due to the processing of white rice, in other words. Still, fermented white rice is MUCH healthier than just plain white rice.
Boost antioxidants, reduce toxins, and improve digestive function
Other benefits of fermenting grains like rice are that it helps the rice to last longer, increases the antioxidant content of the grains, makes the protein more digestible, and even helps prevent the growth of harmful bacteria within the grain.
A very interesting fact about fermentation is that it even may break down a toxin called aflatoxin in the grains, according to a research review published by Food Science and Nutrition [R].
By soaking and fermenting rice, you may also be reducing the chances that it is contaminated with arsenic.
May reduce colitis
Colitis is an autoimmune condition that results in inflammation of the digestive tract and increases the risk of many other diseases because of this.
We have long known that the microbiome plays a key role in the health of the colon and may help prevent or reduce symptoms of inflammatory diseases if eating probiotic foods.
Using fermented rice bran as a source of probiotics reduced symptoms of colitis by increasing short-chain fatty acids and decreasing inflammation in early research [R].
While more research is needed about fermented rice in colitis, fermented foods are generally good for colon health, so no need to wait for more research to enjoy this healthy food.
May reduce stress
Stress and anxiety plague our minds and our bodies if we don’t learn techniques to dampen down the root cause and effects on our bodies.
Many research papers show that probiotic foods help reduce mood disorders, including stress and anxiety as well as depression.
Probiotic-rich foods that are fermented are notorious for being stress-busters and fermented rice is no exception. A recent study found that stress reduced after eating fermented rice in a study of rats [R].
May reduce fatigue
When your microbiome is healthy, you have more nutrients available to your whole body, so it makes sense that fermented foods like fermented rice may also reduce fatigue by helping supply the body with adequate nutrient compounds.
Eating fermented brown rice may also reduce fatigue because it has fermented rice bran in it. An animal study found that giving fermented rice bran results in improved endurance [R].
May reduce cancer
Digestive cancer risk continues to grow among younger adults at alarming rates, and one possible culprit for this is the damage that processed foods are doing to our microbiome.
Fermented foods are linked to many gut health benefits, and may even reduce the risk of colon cancer according to early research [R]. Eating rice that was fermented helped to reduce colon cancer in animal studies, but more research is needed in humans to confirm these findings.
Still, all signs point to the fact that fermented rice is healthy for your gut, so feel free to enjoy it.
May reduce heart disease
The health of the gut is also linked to the health of the heart and every other organ in the body. This is because fermented foods have healthy bacteria that send signal messengers throughout the body and even help to reduce inflammation in the liver.
By doing so, the body more effectively handles cholesterol too. Additionally, by dampening stress and improving nutrition, blood pressure numbers may improve too.
By lowering blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels, fermented rice bran may reduce heart disease risk according to research in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine [R].
Another perk is that fermented foods may be easier on diabetes numbers because the fermentation process reduces the glucose spikes you may get after eating compared to standard rice.
How to Ferment Rice
There are a number of ways to go about rice fermentation and the end result can be different flavors and degrees of fermentation.
For example, some traditional fermentation recipes include tape yeast or distiller yeast to help the fermentation process. Other fermentation methods simply involve soaking the rice, brown or white.
Either way, you will improve the health benefits of the rice, but incorporating yeast will make the fermentation flavors and probiotics develop more fully. Fermenting brown rice is identical to fermenting brown rice, so no additional steps are needed.
Simple Soak Method
Many recipes for fermenting rice simply soak the rice in water at room temperature for a period of about 12-24 hours.
Grab a big bowl, cover your rice with water, put a lid on, and check it in about a day. That’s all you have to do.
Drain off the rice water or save it for future batches. Then, cook the rice, reducing the cooking time because fermentation softens the grain.
Some research shows that baking soda may further help reduce the phytic acid, so feel free to throw a pinch of baking soda in the mix for soaking [R].
Around 75 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit is optimal for rice fermentation, and this holds true with traditional methods of rice fermentation too. If your house isn’t this warm, consider putting the rice in an Instant Pot and using the yogurt setting [R, R].
Be aware that if you ferment rice too long, it will become rice wine; not exactly what we are after in this post or for the best gut healing.
Save the soaking water each time. This will speed up the fermentation next time and reduce the anti-nutrients more quickly in subsequent fermented rice batches.
Bonus: fermented brown rice cooks quickly in about 30 minutes, which makes it easier if you are busy on a weeknight.
Adding yeast also helps speed up the fermentation of rice and other grains. Simply soak the rice in water with a teaspoon of yeast the day before you intend to cook the rice.
Distiller’s yeast is helpful for this. I use the Red Star Dady type like this one.
Cook the rice as you would normally, but reduce the cooking time for white rice to about 8 minutes, and for brown rice, the cooking time will be about 30 minutes.
How to make fermented rice water
Since you went to the extra step of making fermented rice, why not use the fermented rice water too? Simply save the water that you used to ferment the rice in for various purposes.
It will help improve the fermentation in future batches of rice fermentation too.
Rice water benefits may be numerous. Traditional uses of rice water include treatment of diarrhea and dehydration, as a skin soother when used topically, and as a milk substitute for dairy milk.
Many people also use rice water for skin and hair beauty routines as well. No harm, so feel free to try it.
Keep in mind, that no research has been conducted about rice water specifically, but plenty has been done for fermented foods!
How to use fermented rice
You made your rice ferment, now what? There are many recipes you can use, or simply cook the rice, and you are done.
The cooking time of the fermented rice, both brown or white rice is going to be much quicker.
Recipes that use fermented rice
Now that you’ve made fermented rice and know how healthy it is, you may want to experiment with different ways to use it.
The easiest method is to serve it as you would any other rice. I like making fried rice with it or adding some cinnamon and coconut milk for a treat.
Here are some recipes that use fermented rice.
Dosa is a type of flatbread made with fermented rice.
For best gut health, I don’t recommend Rava dosa, which is wheat-based. Only choose the rice-based dosas if possible.
Idli is a rice cake that is usually made with fermented rice and lentils.
Sweet Fermented Rice
Sweet fermented rice uses white glutinous rice and yeast to ferment.
Fermented rice is a very easy way to add more nutrients to your diet, improve digestion, increase antioxidants, and even provide probiotics for your gut health. When you make fermented rice, it speeds up the cooking time and helps the rice last longer too.
You can make lots of different recipes with fermented rice, such as Idli and dosa, or just use it as you would normally in rice. The flavor will be more delicious than regular rice too, so give it a try.

Beets are either highly loved or deeply hated. Even if you’re not a fan, I think this smoky golden beet soup recipe will change your mind. Beets are often described as too earthy, hard or intense, but with just a little finesse they can be bright and vibrant. Beetroot, a cousin to beetroot, is a little less daring and earthy, with a softer, sweet and slightly mild taste.
Soup, on the other hand, is generally loved by everyone. It has the power to soothe your soul, lift your spirits and make the cold go away. Soup is a bowl of comfort, versatile enough to be a snack, appetizer or even a complete meal. This recipe has been developed with that flexibility in mind as we enter the holiday season. Its beautiful orange hue and festive toppings make this a suitable option for your Thanksgiving table; give up toppings, and sip it at work for a nutritious, seasonal, not-so-sad desk lunch.
The natural sweetness of the beet is released only in the frying stage. Its depth of flavor is enhanced with the addition of sautéed mirepoix (a mixture of chopped onions, carrots and celery), which is mixed with smoked peppers to round off the flavor. The toasted garlic cream should not be ruled out: it adds just the right amount of acid and umami to the soup.

When companies choose to become a little more green it is proof that business is changing. Companies can, and will, be financially successful while being concerned about the environment. Maybe another company will read this story and research how they can become greener – creating a snowball effect.
Could your company reduce its emissions by using solar energy?


The neutron personal dosimetry at the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre, SCK·CEN, is currently done using bubble detectors. Both a BD-PND and a BDT detector are worn by staff whenever exposure to neutrons is possible. This system has now been in operation for 10 years. However, in recent years some electronic neutron personal dosemeters have become commercially available. At SCK·CEN, we have performed a series of tests to evaluate whether the bubble detectors can be replaced by an electronic dosemeter for neutrons. We have tested three types of dosemeters: the EPDN2, the DMC-2000GN and the Saphydose-N.

In a landmark judgement inthe Supreme Court explicitly recognised the impact of a deteriorating urban environment on the poor.
Environmental policy of India and Indian environmental law British rule of India saw several laws related to environment. The Indian Penal Code ofimposed a fine on anyone who voluntarily fouls the water of any public spring or reservoir.
In addition, the Code penalised negligent acts. British India also enacted laws aimed at controlling air pollution. Whilst these laws failed in having the intended effect, British-enacted legislations pioneered the growth of environmental regulations in India.
Upon independence from Britain, India adopted a constitution and numerous British-enacted laws, without any specific constitutional provision on protecting the environment. India amended its constitution in Article 48 A of Part IV of the amended constitution, read: The State shall endeavour to protect and improve the environment and to safeguard the forests and wildlife of the country.
Article 51 A g imposed additional environmental mandates on the Indian state. The Air Act was inspired by the decisions made at Stockholm Conference. InIndian government created the Ministry of Environment and Forests. This ministry is the central administrative organisation in India for regulating and ensuring environmental protection.
Despite active passage of laws by the central government of India, the reality of environmental quality mostly worsened between and Rural poor had no choice, but to sustain life in whatever way possible. Air emissions increased, water pollution worsened, forest cover decreased.
Starting in the s, reforms were introduced. Since then, for the first time in Indian history, major air pollutant concentrations have dropped in every 5-year period.
It is suggested that India's growing population is the primary cause of India's environmental degradation. Systematic studies challenge this theory.
Empirical evidence from countries such as Japan, England and Singapore, each with population density similar to or higher than that of India, yet each enjoying environmental quality vastly superior to India's, suggests population density may not be the only factor affecting India's issues.
It causes soil erosion, destruction of wetlands and wide migration of solid wastes. Major environmental issues are forest and agricultural degradation of land, resource depletion such as water, mineral, forest, sand, and rocksenvironmental degradationpublic health, loss of biodiversityloss of resilience in ecosystems, livelihood security for the poor.
Rapid urbanization has caused a buildup of heavy metals in the soil of the city of Ghaziabadand these metals are being ingested through contaminated vegetables.
Heavy metals are hazardous to people's health and are known carcinogens.
There is a long history of study and debate about the interactions between population growth and the environment. According to a British thinker Malthusfor example, a growing population exerts pressure on agricultural land, causing environmental degradation, and forcing the cultivation of land of higher as well as poorer quality.
This environmental degradation ultimately reduces agricultural yields and food availability, famines and diseases and death, thereby reducing the rate of population growth.
Population growth, because it can place increased pressure on the assimilative capacity of the environment, is also seen as a major cause of air, water, and solid-waste pollution.
The reslt, Malthus theorised, is an equilibrium population that enjoys low levels of both income and Environmental quality. Malthus suggested positive and preventative forced control of human population, along with abolition of poor laws.
Malthus theory, published between andhas been analysed and criticised ever since. The American thinker Henry Georgefor example, observed with his characteristic piquancy in dismissing Malthus: Massive geometric population growth in the 20th century did not result in a Malthusian catastrophe.
The possible reasons include: Other data suggest that population density has little correlation to environmental quality and human quality of life. India's population density, inwas about human beings per square kilometre. Many countries with population density similar or higher than India enjoy environmental quality as well as human quality of life far superior than India.
India has major water pollution issues. Discharge of untreated sewage is the single most important cause for pollution of surface and ground water in India. There is a large gap between generation and treatment of domestic waste water in India.
The problem is not only that India lacks sufficient treatment capacity but also that the sewage treatment plants that exist do not operate and are not maintained. The waste water generated in these areas normally percolates in the soil or evaporates. The uncollected wastes accumulate in the urban areas cause unhygienic conditions and release pollutants that leaches to surface and groundwater.Environmental-law-case-study.

The spending package the Senate Appropriations Committee approved increases money for ports and mass transit, maintains Deepwater support and fully funds SBInet.
The Senate Appropriations Committee has approved a $37.6 billion spending package for the Homeland Security Department for fiscal 2008 that increases money for ports and mass transit, maintains Deepwater support and fully funds the Secure Border Initiative Network, but with conditions.
The committee-approved budget is $2.2 billion more than the White House’s requested, said Sen. Robert Byrd, (D-W.Va.), committee chairman.
“For far too long, the Bush administration has funded the department with spare change rather than real dollars, “Byrd said in a statement. “We must invest in the technology and personnel that will make the department second to none.”
Under the bill, grants for port security would rise to $400 million, from $210 million this year, which will help pay for items such as perimeter fencing, underwater detection systems and camera surveillance systems, Byrd said in the release.
Mass transit systems also would get $400 million, up from $175 million this year. The port and mass transit funding increases are the same as what was reported in the legislation approved by the House Appropriations Committee June 5.
The secure border network, known as SBInet, which includes cameras and sensors along with fences, would receive the $1 billion President Bush requested.
But because of concerns about high-risk contractor-driven programs, the committee is withholding $500 million from SBInet until an expenditure plan is submitted and approved, Byrd said.
Deepwater will receive $827 million in the Senate spending bill, down from $1.1 billion this year and $836 million Bush requested. The House bill, on the other hand, trims Deepwater funding to $698 million.
The Senate legislation includes several provisions regarding management at DHS, notably a requirement for the Coast Guard to provide an independent assessment of acquisition staffing requirements for major procurement programs.
The bill also would require the Government Accountability Office to investigate the use of federal contractors to fill federal employee positions at DHS. DHS would have to develop a plan to meet Federal Information Security Management Act requirements and would be forbidden to spend allocated funds on additional reorganizations without congressional approval.
The bill still has a long way to go. The full Senate must pass it, the House must pass its version and then the bills will have to be reconciled through the standard congressional conference process before Bush will have the opportunity to sign or veto it.
The House Appropriations Committee said June 5 it approved a $36.3 billion spending bill for DHS for next year that is $2.1 billion more than the White House requested. Information was not immediately available to clarify each spending item in each bill.

MGM Resorts' (NYSE: MGM ) decision to push back the opening of its new MGM Cotai resort until the second quarter of 2017 doesn't bode well for the recovery many are hoping for in China's gambling oasis, Macau. Mgm casino.
The island is one of just two places where it's legal to gamble in China, but Beijing's crackdown on corruption has snared some of Macau's biggest junket operators, who fly in VIP gamblers and loan them money to drop at the casinos. The crackdown has resulted in gaming revenue dropping for 26 months straight. Coupled with a mandated change to a more Las Vegas-like experience on the new development strip of the island, Cotai, many of the region's casino operators find themselves struggling to hit it big. Earlier this year, MGM said it was delaying the resort's opening until next year's first quarter, and the latest setback is an indication that conditions haven't improved.
When Melco Crown Entertainment (NASDAQ: MPEL ) opened its Studio City casino on Cotai last October, there were high hopes that the forced migration to mass market gaming and entertainment would be profitable for the casinos. However, the new resort's performance over its first two quarters of operation have been poor, and there are more family friendly resorts coming: Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ: WYNN ) will be opening its Palace later this month followed by Las Vegas Sands' (NYSE: LVS ) Parisian in September.

Wynn, though, was granted just 150 table games at the Palace, much less than the 250 tables both Melco and Galaxy Entertainment received for their properties. Las Vegas Sands needs to worry about how many it will be allotted as its latest earnings results showed steep drops in revenue. Sands, more so than many of its peers, is largely dependent upon Macau for revenue and profits.
MGM Resorts, though, was already expecting to delay the opening when it reported earnings in May. CEO Grant Bowie had hinted that MGM Cotai would get pushed back when he told analysts during the company's conference call, "The last part of this process really resides with the relationship between between ourselves and the government, which pushes into we believe end of first quarter, that may trickle over that."
With revenues still falling and Macau's gambling regulators adhering strictly to a quota of 3% annual table game growth, MGM Resorts may find the stakes on its Macau bet are even higher than originally believed.

Promotion worth its weight in Gold
DAVID GOLD claims West Ham would have faced financial meltdown had they not beaten Blackpool to clinch promotion back to the Premier League on Saturday.
And according to co-owner Gold, it means the debt-ridden Upton Park outfit have saved themselves around £50million.
He said: “Had we not won, it would have meant the owners would have had to find more money.
“It is painful. If you own 150 oil wells then it is no problem, but if you own 150 Ann Summers shops...
“It is hard to put it into financial terms because the first thing we would have done on Monday if we didn’t win was say we need to cut our cloth accordingly.
“We wouldn’t have sat there deluding ourselves, we would have needed to find more money. It would have cost around another £30m.
“It also depends on what you want to do. Do you want to challenge again in the Championship? If so you would have to find about another £20m.
“But I think we still have to do that, there is still hard work ahead. I still think the club has got to find £20m to ensure it doesn’t get relegated again and that is on top of the TV money.
“We obviously need to strengthen some areas and although I would expect significant changes, it won’t be anything like last summer when 26 players went and 19 came in.
“The hard work starts now. This club has debts we inherited. We are committed to paying these debts.
"The best way to put it is that we would not have bought West Ham if we weren’t supporters we would have to be mad.”
Meanwhile, Gold claims he is confident goalkeeper Rob Green will commit his future to the club.
The England international is out of contract in the summer and has so far refused to sign a new deal.
But Gold reckons the Hammers' return to the top flight could change the 32-year-old stopper's mind.
He added: “The offer we could have made to Rob would obviously not have met his requirements if we had still been in the Championship.
“But now there will be one on the table which should be acceptable and hopefully we will wrap that up in the next five weeks.”

Federal, state, and local governments will fully enforce the Clean Water and Clean Air Acts and all other laws and regulations that are essential to the health of the Bay. Efforts to undermine these existing federal laws will be repelled.
The Chesapeake Clean Water Blueprint, the precedent-setting program for pollution reduction, will remain in place, with full implementation completed by 2025. This will achieve the equivalent of a 40 on CBF’s State of the Bay health index. The additional loads brought about by climate change and other factors will be quantified and addressed.
- Broad recognition that the Bay is a national treasure.
- Saving the Bay is a national priority, as demonstrated by the full implementation of the Chesapeake Clean Water Blueprint.
- 10 billion oysters will be planted in the Bay and its tributaries, supported by the Chesapeake Oyster Alliance.
- 10 million new trees will be planted in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania by the Keystone 10 Million Trees Partnership.
- 1 million Voices for Clean Water will take action, particularly at the federal level, to demand clean water for the Bay.
- CBF’s programs, board, staff, and supporting constituency are diverse, reflecting the demographic profile of the region.
CBF will continue to defend and implement the Blueprint across the watershed, ensuring full implementation by 2025.
Pollution flowing down the Susquehanna, exacerbated by increasingly intense storms, may overwhelm progress made thus far by Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia unless addressed. CBF will ensure the increasing pollution challenges caused by climate change are addressed while vigorously fighting to repel legislation and regulation that stands in the way of meeting the 2025 Blueprint goals.
Building on core capabilities and programs, CBF will achieve the goals of the Making History campaign (10 billion oysters in the Bay, 10 million new trees in Pennsylvania, and 1 million individual actions taken) in an effort to defend and implement the Blueprint across the watershed by 2025.
Programmatically, CBF will:
- Educate—CBF will educate strategic and diverse stakeholders, opinion leaders, elected and appointed officials, school administrators, teachers, and students about the imperative of clean water.
Education will serve as a means to student and citizen engagement and behavior change.
- Advocate—CBF will advocate for the defense and implementation of the Blueprint utilizing our team of scientists, lawyers, and policy experts. We will engage decision makers, the general public, and CBF members in efforts to ensure that good laws and regulations are developed, introduced, passed, retained, and enforced.
- Litigate—CBF will use litigation to ensure Blueprint implementation, and to expose and rectify the most egregious cases of non-compliance with environmental laws and regulations.
- Restore—CBF will natural filters in order to achieve demonstrable, specific, on-the-ground water quality improvements. When conducting restoration work on private land, CBF will make every effort to encourage the landowner to advocate for Blueprint implementation.
- Diversify—CBF will diversify our staff and Board to enhance our ability to save the Bay. We will connect with and engage a broad spectrum of stakeholders. Consistent with our mission, we will incorporate concepts of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice across all strategies.
- Innovate—CBF will innovate new methods and programs for engaging citizens, reducing pollution, and fully achieving the Blueprint goals.
