Next round of farmers' meeting with government on December 9
Representatives of the protesting Farmers and the government sat down for the fifth round of talks on Saturday amid the brouhaha over the Centre's new agricultural bills. The next round of talks will now be held on December 9 (Wednesday). Earlier, the farmers had threatened to walk out of the meeting if the government remained indecisive on their demands. Here are more details.
Government will send proposal on December 9: Farmer leader
At the request of all stakeholders, it was decided at the meeting that the next round of talks will be held on December 9. After the meeting concluded, a farmer leader told ANI, "The Centre has said that they will send us a proposal on December 9. We will discuss it amongst ourselves after which a meeting with them will be held that day."
Agriculture Minister asks senior protesters to return home
Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar, who led the talks with Railways Minister Piyush Goyal, said after the meeting, "I appeal to all of you to kindly ask senior citizens and children, at the protest site, to go home."
'Bharat bandh on December 8 will go on'
Bharatiya Kisan Union spokesperson Rakesh Tikait told ANI, "The government will prepare a draft for us. They said they will consult the states, too. Discussions were held on MSP, but we said that we should take up the laws and talks about their rollback." Speaking about the planned nationwide shutdown on Tuesday, Tikait said, "Bharat bandh will go on as announced."
'It seems government will repeal laws'
All India Kisan Sabha General Secretary Hannan Mollah said they do not want amendments, but a complete withdrawal of the laws. Speaking about the upcoming Wednesday meeting, Mollah said, "It seems the government will definitely roll back the laws."
What happened during the meeting?
The farmers had demanded a written reply to their last meeting (held on Thursday). They had demanded written assurances on extending Minimum Support Prices (MSP). They also threatened to walk out from the meeting if the government remained indecisive, demanding a solution or commitment. The farmers asserted that they do not want corporate farming, claiming only the government will benefit from the laws.
Today is last day of discussions: Farmers said before meeting
The farmers appear to have softened their stance after the meeting. Earlier, a farmer leader had said, "The government has just been issuing dates. All organizations have unanimously decided that today's the last day for discussion." Demanding a complete rollback of the three farm laws, the farmers had planned a nationwide shutdown on Tuesday and threatened to block all roads leading to Delhi.
Previous four rounds of talks remained inconclusive
Saturday's meeting marked the fifth round of talks to address the farmers' concerns. The last two rounds were held in the past week after the farmers reached Delhi as part of their 'Dilli Chalo' ("let's go to Delhi") protest. The government had earlier said that they will consider some demands, such as further strengthening APMC mandis, grievance redressal in courts, stubble burning, etc.
What are the farmers protesting about?
For months, farmers have protested the laws that were passed in September. The protests intensified over the past week as thousands of farmers from several states reached Delhi, braving a heavy police crackdown. Farmers fear that by allowing trade outside APMC mandis, the laws will weaken the mandis and they would be deprived of MSPs, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation by big corporations.

Here at All Natural Pet, we want to give our fur babies the best , it doesn’t matter if it’s the food we give them or treats, toys, or even the cat litter we put in their litter box. There is so much we can offer them, like homemade food, or a all natural pet bath with oatmeal. I do believe that if we treat our fur babies with all natural ingredients, like the food they eat , to bath time , and treats, that they will be even happier than they already are.
Here are a few things to make our fur babies happy and healthy.
1. Oatmeal bath, for dry itchy skin, or just give them a pamper day.

5. Some new bowls, dont use plastic bowls, it holds the germs in causes acne, go with stainless steel or glass.
Why go Organic
Going organic is a better way to a healthier lifestyle for our fur babies. With all the toxins in their food and the recalls that have come up over the past few years on the pet food it’s a better way to go.
1. They dont have allergies to some of the chemicals they add to their food.
2. You can make it fresh just as you were making your own meal.
3. There is no worry as to if they are going to have a allergic reaction to the food you just bought from the store.
4. They are in better health.
5. Its safe.
Going organic is a healthier, safer, and less complications for our fur babies. By going organic we can choose the things that are better for them as we would do for ourselves. By giving them organic food, toys , treats, and even organic bath supplies they will feel alot better. It’s hard these days to keep our fur babies on the right track, as it is for us. I love my fur babies as if they were my children and like many others they are more than likely the same as myself. We dont like seeing them sick, or have a allergic reaction to the food they just ate, or have heart problems, liver damage to the hight fatty acids that they put in today’s normal pet food
Hello my name is Sandra, I have a love for animals, and there is nothing more than having my fur babies eat just as healthy as I do. With fast pace society we dont stop to think about our fur babies diet or their health. I also do believe that if we can give our fur babies a healthier diet, and life. With all the chemicals that is put in our food, our fur babies food, cant not be good for any of us. In my opinion there is more anxiety, cancer, respiratory, and bone problems. If we start going organic, we can improve our fur babies health, stamina, just all around better, not only for us but most important our fur babies.

Hello, welcome to organic pet supplies, Let’s give a furry friend a better and healthier life, with organic food, treats, remedies, and toys. If we can eat healthier why can’t our furry friends have the same healthy diet.
Let’s go organic with our pet food and supplies, going green is better for us and our furry friends, with fresh chicken, turkey, rice, oatmeal, omega -3, and all the vitamins that is needed in their diet. To have a shiner coat, better diet, easier on the digestive system.
Here are a few natural remedies we can use for our furry friends.
- Aloe Vera: gel can be applied topically to help treat minor burns, scrapes, and skin irritations due to its cooling and antibacterial properties.
- Milk Thistle: Like dandelion, milk thistle also detoxifies the body and strengthens the liver. It is advisable to feed the herbal supplement on an “on-off” basis.
- Chamomile: The good news is, chamomile can reduce anxiety in stressed dogs as well! It calms the nerve as well as induces sleep. You can give chamomile tea to your dog …
- Ginger: Good for GI problems;; Relieves pain & nausea;; Improves blood circulation.
- Turmeric: its active ingredient, cur cumin, have been extensively studied for their role in cancer treatment and prevention.
CBD: Anxiety, Digestive Problems, Joints & Mobility, Pain, Inflammation & More.
These are just a few organic natural home remedies that I have used for my furry friends.
We are always looking for a healthier treat for our furry friends. With organic treats we don’t have to worry about all the toxins, sugar, or all the additives that come in regular treats. There is a wide variety of treats for our furry friends. Here is a recipe for chicken jerky.
- 2 to 4 chicken breasts
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove any excess fat from the chicken. Turn the chicken breast on its side and use a paring knife to slice the chicken breast into 1/8 inch thick strips.
- Set the strips on a baking sheet. Bake for 2 hours.
- Check the chicken before removing from the oven. It should be dry and hard, not soft or chewy. Allow the chicken to cool completely before serving.
- Store the jerky in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
- 2 to 4 chicken breasts
Pro Tip: You can substitute sweet potatoes for the chicken in this recipe. Sweet potatoes make a healthy, vegetarian alternative.
Going organic toys helps reduce the skin allergies. Dogs don’t want smelly plastic toys. They love the feel of natural fibers– hemp, wool, and organic. Dogs love to play with balls. Many dogs get tennis balls to play with. Did you know that tennis balls are made of plastic and treated with fungicide? They are meant to be hit by rackets, not chewed on. They want natural textures and scents.
Finding fun and natural dog toys should be easy, but it isn’t! Have you noticed that most dog toys are still made in China from bright synthetic materials?
Plastic dyed toys are not safe for your dog.
I have come to the conclusion that I have been doing organic for my furry pets for some time now. I lived on a tight budget, but I wasn’t giving up my best friend. So what I would do is every time I made a meal ( Blue Zone ) I would make extra for my furry friend, of course I would make sure the things that were bad for him he would not get. We eat a lot of chicken, rice, Turkey, and a lot of vegetables, then I started to notice that his hair was shinier, he was more active, and a lot happier. Then I started reading the ingredients on the dog food, and treats. I’m thinking to myself oh my gosh what is all this in the dog food? Then I started doing my home work and what I found was that some dog food has/had high levels of Monocytogenes, which can cause nausea, vomiting, cramping, diarrhea. Then there was low levels of Vitamin B1, if there is a low level of Vitamin B1 your furry friend will start to lose weight and lose his appetite, we don’t want that for our furry friends. I do believe that going organic is the best thing for our furry friends. It’s time we make a change for our furry friends.
Hi everyone and welcome to Organic pet supplies’ website. I have love for animals, and the most important thing for me is to see my animals have a healthy diet, just as I would. They are our companion, and our best friend. I figured if can eat healthy why can’t they eat healthy. We want to see our animals live a happy, and healthy life, and we can do that if we give them the right diet and exercise.
As a child I have always had a love for animals, I grew up in Utah, then moved to Oregon and started a ranch. And I started paying attention on grain, barley, and the oats were all natural, then I looked at the ingredients in cat food, dog food and was shocked on all the artificial flavorings, and preservatives.
A better diet
A better diet for our furry friends. I want to help people keep their pets from becoming obese. I believe that we feed our furry friends an organic diet, all natural ingredients. For a shiner coat, healthier teeth, more energy. I want to help people make better choices for their furry friends. There is too many toxins in regular pet food, let’s give our pets the fresh rice, eggs, fish, that is more organic.
Better and healthier pet life
long organic for our furry friends will give them a healthier coat, longevity, fewer toxins in their food, I believe if we go organic there will be less health problems, they will feel better. If we can go organic why can’t our furry friends. I have found by going organic my pets feel better they more energy, less health problems, all they healthy foods we eat our furry friends can have the same.
If you ever need a hand or have a question, feel free to leave them below and I will be more than happy to help you out.
All the best,
I like to eat healthy,I really like to see my animals eat healthy as well,I have dogs, cats, birds, ducks, and turtles. Its time we give our animals the healthy menu.

Having secured qualification during the previous match day, Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson omitted first team regulars like Rio Ferdinand, Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie from the squad that travelled to Turkey, fielding several Red Devils youngsters in the starting 11 instead.
The fixture also marked the return of Jones, who spent much of the campaign so far recovering from knee surgery. Prior to the game, Ferguson expressed confidence in the Englishman's abilities despite his injury lay-off, and Carrick told MUTV that Jones proved the manager correct by putting in a commendable performance alongside him in central defence.
"He's been off for a while and it's not easy to come back in a game like that - especially with me playing alongside him!" Carrick stated.
"He's not got someone like Rio [Ferdinand], Jonny [Evans] or Vida [Nemanja Vidic] next to him so he did ever so well and helped me out a few times."
Despite the efforts of Carrick and Jones, United were consigned to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of the home side after Burak Yilmaz headed the ball into Anders Lindegaard's net from a corner kick.
The custodian was bitterly disappointed to be on the losing side for two games in a row and he urged the Red Devils to resume winning ways against their upcoming Premier League opponents Queens Park Rangers.
"We've lost two games in a row, I played two games in a row and we've lost two games in a row. It's very hard to find smiles about anything or a positive side," Lindegaard shared.
"We have an important game on Saturday against QPR and need to get back on track."
The league game between Manchester United and QPR takes place at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Texas State Cemetery
Words By Gene Fowler
“So Far, So Bueno.” Thus reports the late Austin writer Edwin “Bud” Shrake, speaking from the mysterious territory that awaits us all at some distant date when each of our hearts must grow cold and still. The encouraging words are incised upon his tombstone in the Texas State Cemetery, an oasis of repose and reflection amidst the often hectic pace of Austin’s boom.
The Texas State Cemetery is indeed a great place to contemplate the larger-than-life figures who shaped our state and charted the course of its government. Allow yourself to amble amongst its stones, letting the mind unroll and wander as it may, musing about the lesser-sung lives represented here. Seek out the grave sites of those whose magic power was snatched from thin air in stories and visions—artists, writers, healers, performers of the seemingly impossible.
Situated at East 7th and Navasota, the cemetery’s 18 acres of landscaped hills are the final resting place of thousands of movers and shakers of the Lone Star State, from a 17th century Frenchman who went down with his ship in Matagorda Bay to Navy Seal sniper Chris Kyle, killed in 2013 by a fellow Iraq veteran suffering from PTSD.
In the words of the authors of the 2011 book, Texas State Cemetery, these are “the people who made Texas so Texas,” from politicians to soldiers, lawmen, educators, athletes, artists, authors and other influential residents.
Bud Shrake represents the “Mad Dog” school of Texas literature in the prestigious graveyard. Remembered for a golf tome that became the best-selling sports book ever, Shrake engaged readers as the author of evocative novels about the contemporary and pioneer Southwest such as Strange Peaches and Blessed McGill.
“A museum of history unlike any other in
the state.” -Harry Bradley
Bud’s latter life romantic interest, Governor Ann Richards, rests beside him. Sculpted in flowing white marble, Ann’s headstone imparts a sense of feminine strength. The quote on the stone, from her 1991 gubernatorial inauguration address, sounds almost like a description of our state from some forgotten dream. “Today we have a vision of a Texas where opportunity knows no race, no gender, no color—a glimpse of what can happen in government if we simply open the door and let the people in.”
Embodying that vision perhaps more completely than any other Texan, the late U.S. Congresswoman Barbara Jordan, an African American who rose from humble beginnings in Houston’s Fifth Ward, also rests here. “Many people come to the cemetery solely to pay their respects to her,” confided TSC Senior Historian Will Erwin.
TSC superintendent Harry Bradley describes the cemetery as “a museum of history unlike any other in the state.” Fittingly, the unique museum includes the gravesite of the “Father of Texas” and the capital city’s namesake, Stephen F. Austin. As with most historic cemeteries, the elaborate and varied headstones provide an important museum component. The Art Deco headstone of Governor Jim “Pa” Ferguson and Governor “Ma” Ferguson, for instance, reflects a design style popular during the 1930s, when the couple provided the people of Texas with “Two Governors for the Price of One.”
One of the most unusual stories in the cemetery is that of Gideon Lincecum. Born in Georgia in 1793, Gideon studied medicine informally as a young man and began to treat people according to the allopathic system of the day, which often involved bleeding the patient and administering toxic substances such as mercury. Noting that the cure was often worse than the disease, he concluded to quit “the man-killing business” and sought out a Choctaw medicine man to learn the Indians’ herbal treatments.
After moving to Texas in 1848, Lincecum hung a shingle as a “botanic physician.” He also became a remarkably productive naturalist, contributing plant specimens to the Smithsonian, the British Museum, and the Jardin des Plantes in Paris. He corresponded with Charles Darwin and other progressive thinkers of the era.
Another intriguing find is the final resting place of Fred Gipson, author of the 1956 classic Old Yeller. On Gipson’s birthday, February 7, Old Yeller fans leave dog biscuits at the author’s grave.
The headstone of El Paso novelist-painter Tom Lea features a carving of a mountain. The stone reads, “I live on the side of a mountain. It is the side to see the day that is coming, not the side to see the day that is gone. The best day is the day coming.” Look to the future, the day that is coming because one day it will be gone.

Yankees fans know the drill. The Yanks are getting ready to play some team in a pitcher-friendly ballpark and someone, whether it be an opposing team’s talking head, manager or player, proclaims: It’s not so easy to hit home runs here.
For example, before the Yankees played at Citi Field this past weekend, Mets’ manager Terry Collins said, “Our ballpark plays a little bit differently than theirs. Yankee Stadium is a great place for their team and their fans; there’s a lot of home runs hit. They can hit them out of here, too; it’s just not quite as easy as it is over there.” Well, the Yankees made it looked easy at Citi Field, too. They hit seven home runs during the three games in Flushing. Both line drives and monster shots, including one by Alex Rodriguez that hit the Mets’ home run apple and one by Robinson Cano that cleared the darn thing.
Last year, before a May series against Seattle, that little pre-game host who looks like Marty McFly, remarked about there being no “jet stream” to help carry the ball out of Safeco. First inning, Mark Teixeira crushes one. Bye, bye baseball. In fact, New York hit at least one home run in every game of that particular three-game series.
The Yankees hit home runs, folks. That’s what they do. They hit them in bandboxes like Camden Yards, and they hit them in cavernous stadiums like Oakland Coliseum. They’re not nicknamed the Bronx Bombers for nothing. They are a franchise that has traditionally been built on power. But the obsession the media has with the Yankees and the long ball, especially this year, is growing tiresome.
We hear it every time they play and even more so if it’s a national broadcast on ESPN or FOX. “You know, they can’t win in the postseason relying on the home run. The pitching in the postseason is just too good.” That is indeed true. Teams usually face the best pitching during the postseason when scratching out runs any way possible is important. But it’s not as if teams don’t hit home runs during the postseason. Some of the most memorable postseason moments are home runs: Aaron Boone crushing the hopes and dreams of Red Sox fans in the 2003 ALCS. Jim Leyritz going deep against Atlanta in the 1996 World Series. Derek Jeter becoming Mr. November in the 2001 World series.
The last time the Yankees won the World Series — all the way back in 2009 — there was a home run hit in every single game either by the Yankees or the Phillies. Now the Phillies, who lost the series, did hit more: 11 dingers to the Yankees six. So, while not necessarily a factor to success, the home run is certainly not a hindrance.
The problem has been the Yankees getting the big hits with runners in scoring position. However, they’ve been showing signs of life in that department of late. Plus, you have to think, with the likes of Robinson Cano and Teixeira heating up, that paltry .225 RISP average will soon creep up to where it should be. (It’s already inched up from .217 over the past few days.)
In the mean time, sit back, relax and enjoy the home run derby.

Today “Collections” is really uncomfortable tool to search music. I can’t click on the middle, can’t see a waveform. Much better alternative is to post search result link. Here is an example what I mean. So use your nick and tag that better represents what I’m looking for.
Also I don’t search specific tracks, I look deep in portfolio finding people. Creating list of talented authors. So in the end I will have short and effective sheet of portfolios, from which I will choose music to my items.
Once again, thank you.
what about these:

Ultimately, you need to pick a healthy eating plan you can stick to, Stewart says. The benefit of a low-carb approach is that it simply involves learning better food choices—no calorie-counting is necessary. In general, a low-carb way of eating shifts your intake away from problem foods—those high in carbs and sugar and without much fiber, like bread, bagels and sodas—and toward high-fiber or high-protein choices, like vegetables, beans and healthy meats.
It’s very rare for a manufacturer to mention side effects on their website. K Shred weight loss is no different. They don’t say anything about them. We know that there is always a slight risk of side effects when adding this or any other supplement to your daily routine, so if you notice any severe problems, stop taking the supplement and consult a doctor right away.
Going long periods of time without food does double-duty harm on our healthy eating efforts by both slowing down your metabolism, and priming you for another binge later in the day. (Think: You've skipped breakfast and lunch, so you're ready to takedown a whole turkey by dinner!) Make it your mission to eat three meals and two snacks every day, and don't wait longer than three to four hours without eating. Set a "snack alarm" on your phone if needed.
If you don’t have an established exercise routine, simply walking is the best first step toward weight loss. “Walking is a pretty good entry point for people,” says Gagliardi. This is particularly true if you have been out of the gym for a while and want to ease back into a workout routine. One small study published in The Journal of Exercise Nutrition & Biochemistry found that obese women who did a walking program for 50 to 70 minutes three days per week for 12 weeks significantly slashed their visceral fat compared to a sedentary control group.
Snacks are misunderstood in the weight-loss world – many people don’t realize that snacks can help you lose weight rather than gain it. If consumed in moderation as a way to relieve minor hunger pangs, snacks are a perfect bridge between meals and prevent you from consuming too many calories at your next meal. Choose snacks between 100 and 150 calories. Some or Dr. Smith’s favorites include shrimp cocktail, olives stuffed with blue cheese, an English muffin pizza, or a banana with dark chocolate. Try these shredder snack recipes.
While no single food can "spot train" belly fat, some smart swaps can also improve gut health (eliminating cramps and gas!) and help you feel less puffy. Veggies, fruits, seeds, nuts, fish, whole grains, and other smart choices loaded with fiber and protein will keep you fuller longer, all while working their nutrient-powered magic. When it comes to healthy eating and weight loss, these plant-based foods loved by registered dietitians have your back.
Keto has taken over. It’s the hottest new diet and it’s taking over. We’re going to make up a person. We’ll call her Lauren. She’s not a real person, but there are a lot of women like Lauren out there. She’s been bouncing from diet to diet over the last few years, but none of them are giving her the results she’s hoping for. Now, she’s interested in keto, and it’s no wonder why. More and more people are turning to it as a solution for the weight management goals. The biggest problem that people encounter with keto is that it can take a while to start seeing the results you want. The diet may be effective, but it never claims to be the fastest solution. That’s where dietary supplements come in. Lauren might see results a lot sooner if she starts taking K Shred pills. They’re designed to work with your keto diet to help you get into ketosis faster and start burning fat sooner than you would by dieting alone. We’re looking into these pills today to help Lauren make a decision. If you’d like more information from our K Shred review, just keep reading, but if you’re ready to order the #1 keto pill right now, just click nay of the links on this page, and they’ll take you to the order form to begin your purchase!
I followed this diet all the way through and have mixed feelings. I lost about 7 lbs and would have liked to lose more. I did feel it got me into better eating habits and working out on a regular basis but it is a very extreme diet and hard to maintain after the 6 weeks. I also feel like there is a lot of fruits and juices that you eat and drink. A lot of sugars even though they are natural sugars.
Considering that only 1 in 10 Americans meet their produce requirements, it’s pretty safe to say you need to eat more veggies. And no matter what food philosophy you subscribe to, veggies are a big part of the program. Vegetables have a lot going for them: They fill you up for very few calories, and they flood your body with the nutrients it needs to fight diseases, like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers.
Salads are the go-to diet food, you’re probably thinking. How could they possibly keep me from losing weight? The problem is with what you put on the salad. “Salad items like nuts, fruits, some dressings and extras like croutons and cran-raisins, can actually add an extra 300-400 calories to the meal,” says Angela Godwin, FNP-BC MSN, clinical instructor at the NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing. “Instead, greens and proteins can make a salad more filling with less fat.” Also, steer clear of “lite” salad dressings that secretly have high sugar content. Look out for these other weight-loss mistakes nearly everyone makes.
The trick here is not only to avoid all obvious sources of carbohydrate (sweets, bread, spaghetti, rice, potatoes), but also to be careful with your protein intake. If you eat large amounts of meat, eggs and the like, the excess protein will be converted into glucose in your body. Large amounts of protein can also raise your insulin levels somewhat. This compromises optimal ketosis.
After somewhere between three and five hours, your body stops processing its last meal. There's nothing left to absorb, so insulin levels naturally decrease. Then, somewhere between eight and 12 hours after that last meal, your body starts burning stored fat. (Why don't you start burning fat sooner? Biology is sometimes a pain in the ass; it's like our bodies will do anything to hang on to fat.)
And they say you can’t eat like a pig and slim down. Scientists at Kyoto University found bacon is a great source of the hormone coenzyme Q1, which spikes up your metabolism when combined with a brisk walk. And here’s the best bit: the study showed eating six rashers of bacon an hour before your stroll to the office will double the fat burn. There’s no need to ration your rashers.
Basically, the effect of exercise on our weight is vastly overrated. That’s why it’s only number 15 on this list. There are other things you need to take care of first. It’s not a good idea to eat bad food, drink sugar water (so-called “sports drinks”) or be on medications which force you to exercise for hours daily just to compensate. Metaphorically that’s like digging a hole, into which you put your ladder, on which you stand and paint the basement-level windows of your house.
Whole foods include fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds, whole grains, eggs, seafood, chicken and so on. Food philosophies may differ around which of these foods to emphasize, but that’s okay, since the evidence shows that there isn’t a single best way to lose weight. The goal is to select an approach that feels sustainable to you. If you can easily live without pasta, perhaps a low-carb method centered around veggies and quality proteins, like seafood, chicken, and lean beef would be a good fit. Vegans and vegetarians can lose weight by choosing fruits, vegetables, whole grains and plant proteins. Nut lovers may do well shedding pounds with a Mediterranean-style menu. Whatever diet appeals to your appetite and way of life, focusing on whole foods is something that all plans promote.
So how does this work? A quick run-through: The first tip was to eat low carb. This is because a low-carb diet lowers your levels of the fat-storing hormone insulin, allowing your fat deposits to shrink and release their stored energy. This tends to cause you to want to consume fewer calories than you expend – without hunger – and lose weight. Several of the tips mentioned above are about fine-tuning your diet to better this effect.
Write down everything you eat this week. People who keep food diaries, according to a study published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, lose an average of 6 pounds (2.75 kg) more than people who don't keep a record of everything that they eat. So force yourself to write down the good, the bad and the ugly. Keep these tips in mind:
What happens if you fast for a day? What happens if you don't eat for a day? While most people will feel hungry and possibly tired, there is also a range of other effects. In this article, learn about how the body starts to burn fat for energy and whether fasting for 24 hours can be a good weight loss tool. We also investigate the possible risks. Read now
If you’re routinely skimping on the recommended seven to nine hours, or you have difficulty falling or staying asleep, it’s time to get serious about your bedtime rituals. Your better-sleep strategy includes: limiting caffeine past the early afternoon; sticking to alcohol caps of one drink for women, two for men (since alcohol can interfere with the quality of your sleep); and staying off the phone and iPad within an hour of bedtime.
Most diets have cleanses at the beginning of program, which can be intimidating. The Shred Diet incorporates a cleanse into the later phases of the plan, so you’ll be fully prepared to make the commitment. Unlike many cleanses, there’s no fasting in the Shred Diet – this is an eating detox where you’ll get all the nutrition you need through foods that naturally clean out your system. A cleanse enhances your liver’s ability to detoxify your blood. Additionally, the Shred Diet’s cleanse stimulates a physical detox by incorporating plenty of fiber, which works to increase the activity of the GI tract. The detox occurs during week 5 of the 6-week plan, and many people will lose the most amount of weight during these 7 days.
It's a one-time investment you'll never regret. Here's why: Strength training builds lean muscle tissue, which burns more calories — at work or at rest — 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The more lean muscle you have, the faster you'll slim down. How do you start strength training? Try some push-ups or a few squats or lunges. Use your free weights to perform simple bicep curls or tricep pulls right in your home or office. Do these exercises three to four times per week, and you'll soon see a rapid improvement.
Belly fat is associated with many health issues and diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. Specifically it's the deepest layer of belly fat that poses health risks. That's because these "visceral" fat cells actually produce hormones and other substances that can affect your health. There are many dangerous and ineffective gimmicks about how to lose belly fat. While there is no "magic bullet" that will target abdominal fat in particular, this article will explain what causes an expanding waistline and how you can make that spare tire go away.
Bran muffins sound like a healthy breakfast option—with all that cholesterol-lowering oat bran, right? But the prepackaged ones found at the supermarket aren’t nearly as fresh or healthy as they claim, and they’re almost always oversized, packing in some 300 calories—about the same as a cream-filled doughnut! Many are also loaded with saturated fats butter and oil and contain upwards of 600 grams of sodium. Homemade is key when you’re trying to lose weight, so why not try making your own? While baking definitely does take more time than going to the store, you’ll reap the benefits of all your hard work spent in the kitchen.
Thing is, there’s no reason you shouldn’t be in on the secret, too. Whether you’re planning a last-minute vacation, or auditioning for latest action movie there’s a method you can follow to get as lean and hard as possible, so your muscles look like they’ve been shrink-wrapped by your skin. Follow these seven steps to get “the body” for your big moment.
In addition to improving your health, maintaining a weight loss is likely to improve your life in other ways. For example, a study of participants in the National Weight Control RegistryExternal* found that those who had maintained a significant weight loss reported improvements in not only their physical health, but also their energy levels, physical mobility, general mood, and self-confidence.
So it’s no wonder that losing weight and getting in shape are among the most popular resolutions year over year, because so many people can’t keep them; 80% of New Year’s resolutions fail by February. So Moneyish spoke with several leaders in the field of obesity research and prevention who have reviewed the science surrounding weight gain and loss to explain what to eat and avoid; how much exercise you need and which workouts work best; as well as their tips for making these moves a part of your new, well-balanced life in the New Year.

Provincial revenue from oil will be $791 million less than forecast in the spring budget, according to the provincial budget update.
A few other expenses are less than forecast and some revenues are up. All told, the provincial deficit is now forecast to be almost $1.0 billion. That compares to the $572 million shortfall predicted last April.
The provincial government’s financial problems aren’t caused by falling oil prices.
They are caused by the government’s decision to spend more than the provincial government could afford, despite knowing that oil production was in decline, and the price of oil could vary wildly. On top of that, the provincial government didn’t put any money aside at all for a rainy day.
Lousy financial management caused the problem.
It’s that simple.
Finance minister Ross Wiseman is using the stock excuse that they didn’t have to borrow in order to build roads, schools and all sorts of other public works. Well, that’s completely meaningless if the debt is growing like it is, the government revenue is falling like it is, and the government has no choice but borrow upwards of $1.0 billion to make ends meet.
What actually happened is that Ross and his friends merely deferred the huge price tag for their fiscal mismanagement earlier: we didn’t borrow then, but we have to borrow now. That’s hardly a good thing, let alone a smart thing.
As it looks right now, 2014 is going to be bad enough. We have to be more concerned about next, though. And just to help put that into perspective for you, consider two things.
First, the financial update didn’t list the forecast for capital works. A couple of years ago, the provincial governed cancelled half of its forecast capital works and produced a miracle budget. That was a bit of a scam, though, since they still planned to overspend. That’s exactly the kind of fraud to watch out for this spring in advance of an election.
Second, watch out for that deceit, though, because the financial problem is really that bad. That $791 million drop in oil is only for part of the year. Imagine how much lower it will be for the whole of next year, compared to 2014.

Officials should release files within 48 hrs: CM
Kolkata: In a bid to ensure that projects do not get unnecessarily delayed due to paper work, the state government officials have been directed to release files within 48 hours.
A set of guidelines has been issued for employees in Monday's state-level administrative review meeting that includes the direction to be punctual in their offices.
Ministers and senior officials up to the rank of joint secretary of all the departments were present in the meeting headed by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. District Magistrates also attended the meeting.
Sources added that the Chief Secretary placed a report in the meeting stating that files apart from those which are policy-related get cleared from the Chief Minister's office on every day basis so that it goes to the concerned departments without any delay.
But in many cases it has been found that the files remain with certain officials for even one to one-and-a-half months. This leads to unnecessary delay of the work for which the files need to be passed on with remarks of the concerned official.
Thus, the officials have been directed on Monday to release the files, apart from those which are policy-related, after giving their remarks on it within 48 hours of receiving it. Respective ministers and senior most officials were also asked to look into the matter to ensure that files get cleared within 48 hours.
It may be mentioned that the state government has given stress on e-management of files and it has been implemented in most departments as well.
The matter related to e-governance also came up during the meeting. Later, the Chief Minister said: "There was discussion related to the file transferring system, financial management system and ease of doing business".
It is learnt that a set of guidelines has been framed for the employees and it has been circulated in printed form to the officials present in the state-level administrative review meeting.
The officials have been asked to take steps to ensure that all employees maintain punctuality in attending their offices. At the same time, pending disciplinary matters also have to be resolved at the earliest.
Moreover, senior officials have to take a weekly meeting to review progress of different projects and schemes of their respective departments.
The administrative calendar also has to be followed properly and updated information related to number of vacant posts in respective departments also has to be sent to the higher authorities.

The Sherlock kids wheelbarrow is now avaliable for Christmas.
Ian Wong from ejo design was commissioned to design a child's version of Australia's leading wheelbarrow brand - Sherlock. Ian asked me to do some concept sketches which I did using sketchbook pro on the wacom tablet. Innovative features like the front bumper, soft handle grips, and the use of the foot to lean the product against a wall for storage were adopted from the sketches in the final design. The overall proportions are critical to make a child version reflect the full size product. These quick sketches allow a designer great flexibility to refine the geometry and proportions before CAD modelling. Ian and Charles , one of our RMIT graduates, did mockups and preliminary 3D models always referring back to these original concept sketches. Ian and Ross Williams worked on the production detailing and tooling CAD files. A great team effort.

Hi All,I discovered if I sketched too quick with the inkling when I opened it in sketchbook designer the fast scribble line would be compressed so you need to slow down.It was fine as a vector line in the original DWG file as you can see on the left sketch of one of my Border Collies Mikado.

Sales in Hamilton Ontario were very strong in 2014. We saw sales grow over 4% to over 2600 properties sold. The average sales price increased by 12.5% over last year from $239,900 in 2013 to $264,900 in 2014. These numbers were much over the provincial average of 8% proving Hamilton is still one of the hottest markets in Ontario. One of the main reasons for this is the influx of buyers coming from the eastern markets such as Toronto and Mississauga due to the much lower prices in Hamilton. In Toronto we have seen the average home price grow to over $800,000 forcing many of the 1st time buyers who are looking for a detached or smaller home to move to the Hamilton area. We will continue to see this help the Hamilton market in 2015 as the prices are rising faster in Hamilton the Toronto market see a huge value in Hamilton even with the commute. We also saw the average time on the market drop to under 3 weeks and the sellers were getting 98% of the listing price.
Overall Hamilton has had a very strong real estate year. Detached houses sold well and for a good price and we will see this remain in the future as long as the bank rates remain low and we have no indication of interest rates rising in 2015.
Hamilton's inventory continued to decline through 2014 fueling the buyers to scramble to buy this alone caused some bidding wars forcing the prices to increase. We have no indication that inventory will rise in 2015 so we can expect the same in 2015.
Increased transportation and a stronger transit system has also made Hamilton a more appealing for out of town buyers. In the past buyers shed away from Hamilton due to the long commute but the commute has reduced dramatically making more out of towners flock to Hamilton to buy their homes.
Hamilton is and will remain in 2015 a very strong sellers market. There are still great deals in smaller areas for the buyers but we will see the influx of buyers coming from the GTA in 2015 and pushing the real estate prices up.

The use of alternative forms of nicotine have increased in recent years, but there are little data regarding the health effects of these agents in pregnant women. This according to a committee opinion on smoking cessation during pregnancy from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AGOG) that has been updated to reflect a limited, focused change in electronic nicotine delivery system and pharmacotherapy references. Among the updated information and continued recommendations:
- The use of alternative forms of nicotine, such as e-cigarettes and vaping, have increased substantially in recent years, but there are little data regarding health effects of these agents, either in the general population or in pregnant women.
- A short counseling session with pregnancy-specific educational materials and a referral to the smokers’ quit line is an effective smoking cessation strategy.
- Knowledge and use of the 5A’s (Ask, Advise, Assess, Assist, and Arrange), health care support systems, and pharmacotherapy add to the techniques providers can use to support perinatal smoking cessation.

If you’ve attended one of my leadership development courses or resilience workshops, then I’ll have encouraged you to develop the habit of reflecting on ‘3 Good Things’. Put simply, this is the habit of ending each day by reflecting on three good things that have happened to you during the day and it is one of the disciplines encouraged in Positive Psychology. Although Martin Seligman originated this technique, it was Sukh Pabial who reminded me about it and I’d like to acknowledge the role that he’s played in spreading the word.
If you’re connected with me on Twitter, you’ll know that this is a daily habit for me and I tweet them with the hashtag of #3GoodThings as do a number of other people. (We also have some variants: #3GoodPeople and #3GoodPints for use on certain days!)
Identifying 3 Good Things (regardless of whether you share it with anybody else) is a powerful habit on its own and I’ve seen people experience a real benefit from that habit alone. However, there is another step to this habit which, although often forgotten, is really powerful; Seligman (2011, p. 84) encourages people to identify the 3 Good Things from the day and then for each good thing, to reflect on:
– Why did this good things happen?
– What does this mean to you?
– How can you have more of this good thing in the future?
If you haven’t tried this, I’d encourage you to give it a go. Not only does it encourage a mindset of gratitude, but it also encourages the habit of reflecting about them in a way that encourages you to take action to create more good things.

Medvedev Fights Back To Beat Sinner In Marseille
Shapovalov overcomes Cilic in three sets
World No. 5 Daniil Medvedev struggled for consistency early on, but his greater experience told on Thursday in a 1-6, 6-1, 6-2 victory over 2019 Next Gen ATP Finals champion Jannik Sinner in 80 minutes at the Open 13 Provence.
Medvedev could only shrug his shoulders in the 25-minute first set, when Sinner played with great discipline off both wings to break twice. The top-seeded Russian tightened up his defence in the second set – breaking in the fourth and sixth games – by keeping the ball low and short to negate Sinner’s groundstroke power. Medvedev didn’t look back, going on to win 16 of the first 19 points in the deciding set.
Last week, Sinner recorded the first Top 10 match win of his career over No. 10-ranked David Goffin in the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament second round. The 18-year-old rose to a career-high No. 68 in the FedEx ATP Rankings on 17 February.
Medvedev, who has an 8-3 match record in 2020, will next face Gilles Simon, the 2007 and 2015 champion, who saved two set points from 4/6 in the first set tie-break of a 7-6(6), 6-4 victory over Aljaz Bedene in one hour and 52 minutes. Bedene had won their three previous ATP Head2Head meetings.
Earlier in the afternoon, Denis Shapovalov struck 17 aces past two-time former finalist Marin Cilic in a 6-4, 4-6, 6-2 victory in just under two hours. The 20-year-old will play Alexander Bublik in the quarter-finals.
“I knew going into it that Marin was going to be a tough opponent as we’d had two close matches before,” said Shapovalov. “I started well in the first set, got an early break and held there. In the second set, I felt like he improved his serve and raised his game. He played too well, then in the third set I needed to raise my game. Today was really good tennis and I felt comfortable on the court. My game has been there the past five or six months and I hope to show it more this week.”

He was found dead in his home in El Cajon, Calif;, (near San Diego) back on Dec. 20, reports the Chicago Tribune and multiple other outlets. He was discovered by his sister and apparently had been passed away for a little while, according to the report.
An autopsy found that Whitehead had died from a gastrointestinal hemorrhage related to chronic alcohol abuse, an investigator at the examiner’s office said.
Whitehead was a 6’10 center (and occasional forward) who was drafted in the second round of the 1978 draft by the then San Diego Clippers and went on to play for Utah, Dallas, Golden State and San Antonio. He averaged 6.5 points and 4.8 rebounds a game over the course of his career. In the 1981-82 season he averaged 13.8 points a game for the San Diego Clippers.
Whitehead was a key part of Marquette’s 1977 national championship team.

Lille's Mathieu Debuchy, Montpellier's Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, Massadio Haidara from Nancy, Toulouse's Moussa Sissoko and Bordeaux's Yoann Gouffran all made the move to the north east of England.
They should feel at home as there's already more than a hint of Gallic flair at St. James' Park, with the wonderfully talented pair of Yohan Cabaye and Hatem Ben Arfa at the club, as well as the likes of Sylvain Marveaux, Gabriel Obertan and Romain Amalfitano.
"I'm not surprised that they want to play there because it's the best league, but I am surprised by just how many French players have gone there at the same time," former Newcastle and France player Didier Domi told CNN.
However, Domi insisted that financial motivation was not the reason for this footballing exodus to Newcastle.
"Tax is not a big factor. The biggest draw is the chance to play in front of packed stadia every week," he said.
"It's the place where all players want to play. When the French players come back to France after a spell in England, they all talk about how great it is.
"It's professional, it has great fans and atmosphere and it's where all the best players are. I loved it at Newcastle. The fans and people of the north east are so friendly and full of warmth."
In the last French election, held in May 2012 -- the French population in London was given the opportunity to vote on the establishment of a parliamentary member for Northern Europe.
There are 120,000 officially registered as living in the British capital, but one of those -- politician Axelle Lemaire -- believes the total is nearer 400,000.
Before winning that parliamentary ballot, as a representative of Hollande's Socialist Party, Lemaire lived and worked in London for 12 years.

Male Vampire Jewellery by Amanda Norman
I thought it would be interesting to show you the original photograph and the finished piece of Gothic jewellery in one post.
Take for instance the portrait of Luke who’s soul revealed him to be a vampire.
The hardest thing for me to do when taking horror portraits is to get the model to pose as this is the be all and end all of the portrait session.
Personally, this is one of my best horror portrait conversions that I’ve ever done, especially when I wasn’t too happy with the original shot. A bit of tweaking with light levels and different layers, I finished up with the true monster that had remained hidden deep within until now.
If you would like to purchase the print or the male vampire necklace, please click on the images below.
If you would like your own horror portrait with the option of choosing a large horror poster print or a necklace, please get in touch or read more about my horror portrait service.

- CPAC announced Monday it was canceling scheduled speaker Young Pharoah.
- A report found that the rapper and activist had spread anti-Semitic conspiracy theories online.
- Critics of the move pointed out that this year's CPAC theme is opposing "cancel culture."
The Conservative Political Action Committee announced Monday that it was canceling a scheduled speaker after it emerged that he made virulently anti-Semitic comments on Twitter.
"We have just learned that someone we invited to CPAC has expressed reprehensible views that have no home with our conference or our organization," CPAC said in a tweet Monday. "The individual will not be participating at our conference."
The identity of the speaker was confirmed by the journalist Ben Jacobs and other media outlets to be Young Pharoah, a rapper and activist.
—Ben Jacobs (@Bencjacobs) February 22, 2021
Earlier, the progressive media-monitoring group Media Matters had published a report highlighting tweets in which Young Pharoah called Judaism a "complete lie" and "made up for political gain," said that Jewish people are "thieving fake Jews."
He also tweeted that "all the censorship & pedophilia on social media is being done by Israeli Jews."
He had also promoted the QAnon and Pizzagate conspiracy theories, and claimed falsely that COVID-19 vaccines "alter your DNA."
Critics were quick to point out the irony of the decision, with the theme of this year's CPAC being "America Uncanceled."
—Eric Hananoki (@ehananoki) February 22, 2021
The theme refers to conservative attacks on "cancel culture," or the deplatforming people found to have expressed racist or other bigoted views, which some Republicans say is an attack on freedom of speech.
Young Pharoah had been scheduled to speak at an event called "Please Check the Number and Dial Again: Doubt, Dysfunction, and the Price of Missed Opportunities."
He is no longer listed as a speaker on the CPAC website, but Media Matters reported that before removing his profile the conference had linked to his Twitter account and website, where he pushed the conspiracy theories.
In response to his appearance being canceled, Young Pharaoh tweeted: "This is censorship at its best."
He later doubled down on the conspiracy theories, tweeting out a link to a video titled "The Deep State," a buzzword among right-wing conspiracy theorists.
Earlier, CPAC organizer Matt Schlapp had touted in an appearance on Newsmax former President Donald Trump's appearance at the event and the theme of the conference.
"Our theme is 'America Uncanceled,'" he told the right-wing news network "And what a perfect way to demonstrate the grossness of our cancel culture than having Donald Trump speak."
CPAC, which this year is taking place in Orlando, Florida, will start on Thursday and end Sunday. Trump is the keynote speaker, and a series of his administration's cabinet members, conservative media stars, and activists are also scheduled to speak.

India revealed its budget for FY13 - 14 and it largely disappointed foreign investors and is expected to not do much to revive flagging economic growth.
But the budget is trying to tackle gender issues.
The finance minister P Chidambaram's budget includes a plan to set up the country's first public sector Women's Bank with Rs. 10 billion in capital (approx $183 million).
"This Women's Bank will lend funds to women, women run businesses, women SHGs [self help groups] and will employ predominantly women and be functional from October 2013 ."
India has the second largest workforce in the world that totals 478 million, but women only account for 24 percent of it, according to a report from the Center For Strategic & International Studies.
It also ranks 113th of 135 countries in the World Economic Forum's Gender Gap Index.
The report also cites Lakshmi Puri of UN Women who said in 2011 that "India's growth rate could jump by 4.2 percent if women were given more opportunities".
With India's economic growth at 10-year low this might not be the worst idea, but it depends on how effectively it is managed.

The recall effort of state senator Josh Newman (D-Fullerton) has been incredibly successful. There have been over 85,000 signatures collected, way more than the 63,593 needed to trigger a recall vote.
But the Democrats have done some very shady and disgusting stuff, by changing the recall rules mid-recall.
They say the recall is deceptive and they're trying to get people to withdraw their signatures, arguing that people aren't aware they're signing a recall petition. So, they think Newman's constituents are stupid and can't read? How insulting is that?
They also changed the timeline of the recall, possibly pushing it into next year. They want the vote to happen during a general election, when they can get more people to turn out and vote for another Democrat.
The whole thing is evil. California Democrats are not getting their way. They're losing this fight, so they're playing dirty and doing whatever it takes to win.
"The Legislature has pulled out all the stops to silence the voice of taxpayers and undermine the people’s right to a fair and democratic process."
Carl DeMaio, from our sister station KOGO-AM in San Diego, joined us this afternoon with all the latest recall news:

Can dental crowns improve the appearance of natural teeth?
Your smile can suffer from any number of aesthetic flaws, such as chips, cracks or stains. A severely damaged tooth or an undersized one can detract from the smile, as well.
When these problems occur, dental crowns can enhance the appearance of biological teeth that are less attractive than the patient would like. These tooth-shaped caps can conceal a variety of defects, and they are particularly useful when the damage is too significant to be obscured by a more conservative restoration, such as dental bonding or porcelain veneers.
Because they are made of materials that mimic biological tooth enamel, dental crowns are remarkably lifelike. They can be designed to the patient’s unique specifications so that they will blend in with the smile.
Patients can work with a prosthodontist to get dental crowns to restore their smiles. Prosthodontists are dental specialists who focus specifically on restorations. This more narrow practice of dental medicine gives prosthodontists a level of expertise in creating devices with a very natural appearance.
When examining the tooth (or teeth) and planning for the crown placement, the prosthodontist will thoroughly inspect the targeted tooth as well as its neighbors to determine the appropriate specification for the crown, including the size, shade and shape.
The prosthodontist will prepare the tooth by removing a layer of enamel in order to make room for the crown. When the crown is ready to be placed, it will be bonded to the tooth using a strong dental cement.
Under ideal conditions, dental crowns can last for many years. During your treatment planning process, talk to our team about appropriate care for your dental crowns to be sure that you can maximize the lifespan of the devices.
If you are dissatisfied with your smile, you may be able to improve it significantly in a relatively short period of time. Contact NorthShore Restorative & Implant Dentistry at 516-484-6394 to see if dental crowns can give you the treatment results that you want.

The Ceremony(Forum 50)
Just as its title suggests, The Ceremony is filled with rigorously choreographed rituals of all sorts: a wedding to a non-existent bride, a funeral of a tyrannical patriarch, the attainment of adulthood through sex, and the burning of personal possessions as a sign of self-sacrifice for the greater good of his clan. Nagisa Oshima portrays all this and more as a satirical show of the absurd excesses of Japan’s stifling, xenophobic social norms, all of them embodied in the declining fortunes of a conservative, incest-addled clan. Unfolding as a string of flashbacks as the prodigal protagonist Masuo travels to his hometown to investigate a mysterious telegram about a death in the family, The Ceremony is a thinly-veiled allegory of post-WWII Japan’s distorted historical and social realities. Oshima documents his country’s ills through highly-stylised sequences filmed with static camerawork that conveys vividly the suffocating environments his characters live and die in.
There will be a post-screening talk on 19/9- Looking For New Entry Points to the World- you are welcome to stay behind. (The Talk will be conducted in English)

Simulation of a Broadband Antenna with the Method of Moments
MetadataZobrazit celý záznam
In the paper selected problems of computer simulations of a broadband antenna containing large metallic surfaces with the Method of Moments have been discussed. A novel broadband combined spiral-discone antenna, built of a complementary spiral and a cone has been analyzed. Since the antenna contains large metallic surfaces wire-grid models had to be developed in order to simulate the antenna with the thin-wire kernel method of moments. Several wire-grid models of the antenna have been proposed and analyzed. The simulation results for input impedance have been compared to those obtained from measurements and the best model of the antenna has been identified.

Sarah Magnuson, of Columbus, Ohio makes phone calls after arriving at Union Station after her Amtrak train from Los Angeles became stuck in snow drifts on Tuesday, Jan. 7, 2014, in Chicago. The severe weather forced hundreds of Amtrak passengers to spent the night onboard three trains stranded due to the snow in northern Illinois. (AP Photo/Andrew A. Nelles)
CHICAGO (AP) — The Amtrak train slowed to a crawl as it hammered through snowdrifts in an empty stretch of Illinois countryside, delivering thuds and jolts to passengers, until it lurched into a mound big enough to grind its 8,000-horsepower engine to a halt.
About 90 miles short of their Chicago destination, passengers ended up stuck on the train overnight, reading books, watching movies on computers and taking what amusement they could from a conductor who cracked jokes over the intercom. Food ran low and some tempers boiled over, but staff kept the heat on, entertained children and even escorted small groups of people outside for smoke breaks.
“You hear those horror stories about the cars that stop in the snow and they freeze to death. I thought, ‘Oh God, this is going to happen, we’re going to be in blankets,'” said passenger Chris Smith.
They weren’t alone. Across huge swaths of the country, the polar vortex froze travel and left motorists, airline passengers and commuters fighting to Login to read more

Congratulations Connecticut, as of today you guys now have the right to medical marijuana. Today, Governor Dannel Malloy officially made Connecticut the 17th medical marijuana state in the nation. And it’s about time! No actually, the Connecticut legislature passed this law, HB 5389, on May 4, and it’s taken all this time to get this shit enacted. The law will take effect on October 1.
“We are encouraged that state officials are standing up to federal intimidation and moving ahead with the passage of important public health laws,” said Steph Sherer, executive director of Americans for Safe Access, said. “We hope other states follow Connecticut’s lead in passing medical marijuana laws so that patients are not left unprotected and vulnerable to law enforcement actions.”
Unfortunately the new law doesn’t allow patients to grow their own weed. Similar restrictions are in place in Jersey and Delaware and that’s forced patients to rely on dispensaries. What happens when everyone relies on just a small group of people to sell ‘em their weed? Lotsa bullshit. Plus all dispensaries are nowadays are just sitting ducks laying in wait for angry federal agents to attack. That’s no bueno.
More bad news…there’s also some deep restrictions on who can qualify for medical weed too. No bueno again. Missing from the list of qualifying medical conditions? Why the most popular reason patients use medi-chronic; chronic pain, of course.
Fortunately, baked into the law is a provision that allows for reviews. So maybe someone’ll be able to convince someone they deserve to smoke a dried plant.
Oh and get this, Connecticut dodged a few bullets… amendments to the new law, like limiting medical weed to only terminally ill patients and eleven other bunk-ass ideas, proposed by State Senator Toni Boucher (R (of course)-Bethel) were shot down, fortunately.
Like we said Connecticut is now the 17th state that has legalized weed…for medical use…but the key word is…LEGALIZED. If you wonder who the other states are, you’re in luck because we’ve cut and pasted ‘em here: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington.
Okay, so Maryland doesn’t technically have an actual medical marijuana law. What they’ve got is this thing called a patient affirmative defense. That means you get busted and you’ve got a legal excuse. And you get the opportunity to present your medical paperwork, cross your fingers and hopefully the charges get dismissed.
So, it’s cool that there’s another medical marijuana state and all, but legalizing weed and restricting it to medical use means…it’s restricted. And that means not everyone who wants it…gets it. And those who got it that aren’t “supposed” to have it…get busted. And that’s no bueno.
