Recent news headlines foretelling a delay in the government's efforts to legalize and regulate cannabis caught Canadians' attention this week, but new comments made Thursday by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau suggest the federal government is pushing forward with its plan.
On Wednesday, The Canadian Press news agency published an article with the headline, "Trudeau won't say whether Liberals will delay cannabis legalization."
The article, which appeared in news outlets across Canada, said the Prime Minister "was non-committal on the question of whether his government would bend to a call from the Senate's Aboriginal Peoples committee to delay the measure by as much as a year."
The story was premised on brief comments made by Prime Minister Trudeau to reporters as he entered a Liberal caucus meeting on Wednesday. Here's Trudeau's full statement in English, which followed a similar statement in French:
"We have been focused on legalizing marijuana because the current system hurts Canadians. It gives easy access to young people and quite frankly, funds criminal organizations to the tunes of billions of dollars a year. We'll continue to consult with a broad range of Canadians. And as our Parliamentary Secretary, Bill Blair, says regularly, legalization is not an event, it's a process, and that process will continue."
"We're going to bring in legalization as we've committed to this summer on schedule." -Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
But in a scrum on Thursday afternoon, the prime minister clarified that his government plans to stick to its current timeline for legalization.Advertisement
"We're going to continue to move forward," Trudeau told reporters in the foyer of the House of Commons. "We're going to bring in legalization as we've committed to this summer on schedule."
Asked specifically whether he would delay legalization to address concerns from the Assembly of First Nations, the prime minister repeated the message.
"We have been talking about this since well before we formed government. We have been working with our partners across the country on making this happen and we are going to be moving forward this summer on the legalization of cannabis," he said.
Marijuana law 'on track': Pro-legalization Senator
Sen. Tony Dean, who is sponsoring the government's Cannabis Act in the Senate, also said Thursday that legalization is proceeding apace.
"It's on track for September," Dean told The Leaf News. "I expect to see legal cannabis in Canada in September, and so do a few million other people."
Even though the Standing Senate Committee on Aboriginal Peoples called on the government to delay its plan to legalize cannabis in a report on Tuesday, Dean said many many of the concerns raised in that report go far beyond the scope of the Cannabis Act, and can only be addressed by the government.
"Where this goes, and how it goes, will be a conversation between the government and Indigenous leaders, not the Senate," said Dean.
Certain recommendations from the Aboriginal Peoples committee could still be addressed by the Senate in time for a fall legalization deadline, he said.
"There's an interest in funding commitments, there's an interest in access to licences for (cannabis) producers, there is an interest in culturally specific educational initiatives. Those things are all important. None of them is going to take a year."
"I expect to see legal cannabis in Canada in September, and so do a few million other people." -Sen Tony Dean
The delay amendment proposed by the Aboriginal Peoples committee, along with amendments proposed by three other committees, will ultimately be voted on by the Standing Senate Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology over the coming weeks. Amendments approved by the committee will then be voted on by the Senate as a whole, along with any other amendments moved by individual senators.
"I think there would be probably six or seven sitting days to do that in the Senate chamber," said Dean, who described a June 7 deadline for a final vote as feasible.
"If a group of senators sets out to chew up the time in that process, that would obviously be concerning."
Legal cannabis not a major election issue, says professor
Even if the federal government were to delay cannabis legalization, it likely wouldn't matter to the vast majority of Canadian voters, said University of Toronto political scientist Nelson Wiseman.
Cannabis legalization helped boost youth voter turnout in the 2015 election, he explained.
"But other Canadians didn't give a damn about it," he said.
"They saw what's going on in society more broadly, they're familiar with the fact that (cannabis is) legal in some places in the U.S., they're familiar with the fact that police and the courts aren't enforcing it as aggressively as they did twenty, thirty years ago. That isn't what they were voting on."
The next federal election is scheduled for October 2019 at the latest, and Wiseman said it will be driven by images of the leaders.
"Who do you trust more? Who are you more confident in?"

MUMBAI (Reuters) - The gunmen who attacked Mumbai killing at least 195 people wanted to go down in history for an Indian 9/11, and were also inspired by the bombing of the Marriott hotel in Islamabad, media reports said.
They had planned every detail, knew the layout of the Taj Mahal and Trident Oberoi hotels they targeted, had commando-style training and even had snacks such as dry fruit stuffed in their backpacks.
The capture of one of the militants, a clean-shaven, fluent English-speaking 21-year-old from Pakistan according to reports, has highlighted the ambitious plans of the Islamist group.
“The entire idea was to replicate the JW Marriott at the Taj,” Times Now television reported, quoting a defense official present at the interrogation of Azam Amir Kasav.
He was referring to one of Pakistan’s worst bomb attacks, when a lorry packed with explosives all but destroyed the hotel in Islamabad and killed at least 55 people in September.
“They wanted to reduce the symbols of economic strength to rubble, the Taj and Trident, so they cannot be rebuilt,” Times Now said. “They talked of a 9/11 to bring down the buildings.”
Their methods were different but the impact was huge.
During the first hours of the attacks at landmarks across Mumbai police seemed powerless. Top officials, including the head of the city’s anti-terrorist force, were gunned down.
The use of at least 10 heavily armed and well-trained “fedayeen” bore the hallmarks of Pakistan-based militant groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba.
Kasav, the militant reported to have been captured, confessed to being a member of Lashkar-e-Taiba, newspapers said, but the group has denied any role in the Mumbai attacks.
AS WELL-TRAINED AS COMMANDOS
The militants, all young men, knew exactly their targets, including cafes and hotels frequented by executives and tourists.
It was only when elite “Black Cats” commandos arrived to tackle the remaining militants holed up in the Taj, the Trident Oberoi and a Jewish center, that the tide appeared to turn.
At least three gunmen battled India’s best-trained commandos for two days in the maze of corridors in the Taj Hotel, setting fire to places as they moved from floor to floor.
“At times we found them matching us in combat and movement,” one commando told the Hindustan Times. “They were either army regular or have done a long stint of commando training. They were behaving the way Indian commandos would have.”
Several militants checked into the Taj in the weeks before the attack, gathering details of the hotel layout, several newspapers reported. They filmed some locations on scouting trips.
Their rucksacks were packed to the brim with ammunition, six to seven magazine with 50 bullets each, and grenades. They had satellite phones, credit cards. They were in for the long haul.
“These people were very, very familiar with the hotel layout and it appeared they had carried out a survey before,” the chief of the elite Naval Commando Unit, told reporters. “A very determined lot, remorseless.”
In one four-to-five-hour gunbattle, the militants retreated through a hidden door in the hotel. The troops did not know even the door existed, the Hindustan Times reported.
The gunmen also threw grenades to destroy the close circuit television control room early on in the siege.
A picture of the captured militant taken in Mumbai showed him dressed in light grey combat trousers with numerous pockets and sneakers and carrying a rucksack on his back.
One security expert told the Mail Today the way he carried his AK-47 in one hand showed he had months of training.
Prior to mounting the attack the militants had taken over an Indian fishing trawler, tying up and blindfolding some fishermen. One newspaper picture showed one lying on the floor of the small trawler with his hands tied behind his back and his throat cut.
The boat then sailed to Mumbai, where gunmen landed from rubber dinghies. The bloodbath started with an attack on the main railway station that killed nearly 50 people.
Among the dead in the ensuing violence were a couple at the Trident. They were found by police, in rigor mortis, holding hands.
“In their last seconds together, one must have squeezed the other’s hand,” a police official told the Indian Express.

Australian bass babe Alison Wonderland just released a new track rightfully named “Happy Place”. Listen here.
Released on Trap City, the 3 minute track perfectly encompasses Alison's signature sound. Similar to most her original tracks and even most of her edits and remixes, Alison lends her haunting voice to the track. Most notably, the hook features her mantra: “F*** me up on a spiritual level”. This slogan is also the name of her merchandise line.
The trap producer tweeted about the release of this track earlier today and how much it means to her.
Hi guys if u like it pass it on. I wrote this from a super deep place I hope it reaches people https://t.co/kTXHX2nxQT
— ALISON WONDERLAND (@awonderland) November 9, 2017
To keep up with Alison and her fantastic trap, follow her on soundcloud. For her witty and humorous thoughts, follow her on twitter. In the meantime, we'll be in our happy place listening to this track on repeat.

Charlie Austin made a dream debut for Southampton, scoring just eight minutes after coming on as a substitute to secure a last-gasp win at Manchester United.
Austin, signed from Queens Park Rangers a week ago, emphatically headed home James Ward-Prowse's 87th-minute free kick to settle a game of few chances.
The win was Saints' third in a row – and also means they have won at Old Trafford for two seasons in succession.
Boss Ronald Koeman had made two changes to the side that started last weekend’s win over West Bromwich Albion, one of which was enforced by an injury to Steven Davis. He was replaced by Dušan Tadić, who scored from the bench against the Baggies, while Jordy Clasie was preferred to Ward-Prowse.
United made just one alteration from the previous weekend’s morale-boosting win over Liverpool, as youngster Cameron Borthwick-Jackson stepped in for the injured Ashley Young. Former Saint Morgan Schneiderlin started in holding midfield.
Koeman stuck with the 5-3-2 system that had served Saints well in their back-to-back home wins, with United boss and fellow Dutchman Louis van Gaal choosing to adopt the same tactic. Interestingly, it was Koeman’s use of the formation with previous club Feyenoord that was credited as van Gaal’s inspiration for deploying it during the Netherlands’ impressive showing at the 2014 World Cup.
There was nothing impressive about the first half-hour of this encounter, though, as both sides cancelled each-other out.
United did sent a trio of speculative shots towards the Saints goal, with Anthony Martial and Wayne Rooney driving efforts wide either side of Daley Blind having one held by Fraser Forster.
Saints survived a couple of injury scares, with Victor Wanyama requiring treatment after being caught by Marouane Fellaini’s flailing arm, while Clasie came out worse-off in a 50-50 challenge with the same player a few minutes later.
With Clasie prone on the Old Trafford turf, United countered with pace – but Ryan Bertrand did superbly to not only keep up with Martial but also win a free-kick after being tugged back by the Frenchman.
Forster’s first real test of the afternoon came, ironically, after a lapse of concentration by one of his teammates. Virgil van Dijk’s pass back to his goalkeeper lacked power, but Forster came storming off his line to boot the ball clear before Martial could intercept.
Saints’ only chance of the first period came on 37 minutes as Sadio Mané played a smart one-two with Tadić only to see the ball bounce of his thigh as he latched onto the return pass a few yards out, with David de Gea duly gathering.
Having previously seen their side score just 12 league goals at home this season, United’s fans grew frustrated as the half whiled away. Seeing a goal kick awarded after Jesse Lingard’s shot deflected wide off Bertrand only served to compound their annoyance at the end of a drab first period.
Van Gaal acted swiftly at the break, replacing the lumbering Fellaini with Juan Mata, with Ander Herrera – who had made little impression in the number-ten position – now sitting next to Schneiderlin in defensive midfield.
United immediately looked more dangerous, with Mata at the centre of their attacking endeavours. The Spaniard was close to teeing up Martial to open the scoring on 53 minutes after wriggling free of Bertrand, but van Dijk produced a vital challenge before the ball eventually ricocheted to the safety of Forster’s grasp.
When another United attack broke down in the Saints boss, Mané led a rapid counter that ended with Shane Long and Matteo Darmian colliding as they attempted to reach the Senegalese’s hanging cross. Long was able to continue, but Darmian had to be replaced by Paddy McNair.
The stoppage was well-timed from Saints’ point of view, with the wind seemingly taken out of United’s sails just as they gathered momentum.
The visitors soon went close from two corners in quick succession. First, Long’s header from Clasie’s delivery deflected wide, then Wanyama nodded off-target when Bertrand swung the ball over from the opposite side.
With the game gathering pace, Koeman made a double substitution on 67 minutes. Off came Clasie and Tadić, with Oriol Romeu and Ward-Prowse drafted on. It was Saints' third and final change of the game, though, that was met with the most excitement from the travelling fans, as Austin – signed a week ago – replaced Mané for the last ten minutes.
And the celebrations were even louder eight minutes later. After Austin had been fouled on the right flank, Ward-Prowse hung over a teasing delivery for the debutant to delicately nod beyond de Gea.
Another of Saints' substitutes, Romeu, almost wrapped things up in the first of five minutes' added time, but his close-range shot was parried. Adnan Januzaj, on for Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, then flashed an effort wide in the final seconds.
Having waited since 1988 for a victory at Old Trafford, Saints have now won twice there in little over a year – an achievement that the travelling fans duly toasted come full time.
Manchester United (5-2-1-2): David de Gea; Jesse Lingard, Matteo Darmian (Paddy McNair 60), Chris Smalling, Daley Blind, Cameron Northwick-Jackson (Adnan Januzaj 86); Marouane Fellaini (Juan Mata 46), Morgan Schneiderlin; Ander Herrera; Wayne Rooney (c), Anthony Martial. Unused substitutes: Sergio Romero (GK), Memphis, Guillermo Varela, Andreas Pereira.
Southampton (5-2-1-2): Fraser Forster; Cédric, Virgil van Dijk, José Fonte (c), Ryan Bertrand, Matt Targett; Victor Wanyama, Jordy Clasie (Oriol Romeu 67); Dušan Tadić (James Ward-Prowse 67); Shane Long, Sadio Mané (Charlie Austin 79). Unused substitutes: Maarten Stekelenburg (GK), Maya Yoshida, Cuco Martina, Juanmi.

This slide shows loading, prebuckling beam-type bending, and buckling of the payload shroud as modeled for BOSOR4/BIGBOSOR4.
(a) Nonuniform dynamic pressure distribution measured in a wind tunnel test of the payload shroud.
(b) prebuckling deformation. Only the leeward meridian is shown as the payload shroud bends like a cantilevered beam loaded mostly near its free end.
(c) The meridional profile of the buckling mode. This non-axisymmetric buckling mode has 13 circumferential waves according to BOSOR4.
Buckling does not occur near the base of the shroud where the bending moment is greatest because the thicknesses of the skin and corrugation is greatest there. Instead, buckling occurs in a region neaer the midlength of the shroud where the wall thicknesses have been stepped down.
Shown here is a BOSOR4/BIGBSOSOR4 model of the segmented payload shroud.

Christina Baker Kline's many fans packed the house for her session at the 2014 Southern Festival of Books. BookPage had the pleasure of speaking with the author about the book's runaway success and what she's working on next.
The question that will burn in a reader’s mind when she finishes Some Luck, Jane Smiley’s marvelous new novel, is: How long do I have to wait to read the second volume in The Last Hundred Years trilogy?
British author Jessie Burton's first published book, The Miniaturist, has been building buzz in publishing circles since 2013, when it was one of the most sought-after books at the London Book Fair. Now this historical novel, set in a 17th-century Amsterdam that Burton evokes with great skill, is poised to win over readers.
Readers of Amy Bloom’s riotous new novel, Lucky Us, might want to pack a few snacks and buckle their seatbelts for this highly entertaining ride, which kicks off when half-sisters Eva and Iris hightail it from small-town Ohio to pursue their dreams in Hollywood.
World War II-era nurse Claire Randall stumbled through a stone circle into the 18th century—and straight into the hearts of readers, who have gobbled up Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series since its 1991 debut. Gabaldon returned this summer with Written in My Own Heart’s Blood, the eighth book in the series—and this month the first book, Outlander, has been turned into a TV series that will air on Starz. We asked Gabaldon a few questions about the series and the new book.
With The Quick, Lauren Owen has created a brilliant literary debut to rival the work of classic Gothic authors like Radcliffe and Brontë.
At the age of 2, Laura Bridgman lost four of her five senses to illness. Several years later, she was taken to the Perkins Institute in Boston where, under the tutelage and guidance of Samuel Ridley Howe she not only learned how to communicate, but became one of the 19th century’s most notable women. Yet few people know about her today. Kimberly Elkins’ stunning debut, What Is Visible, promises to change all that.
“Am I really going to tell a story from a dead-and-buried baby’s point of view?” Courtney Collins asked herself, early in the writing of her stunning debut novel, The Untold.
The author was a year into a fictionalized portrait of real-life Australian female outlaw Jessie Hickman. And to be perfectly honest, the story just wasn’t working.
Francine Prose has written more than 20 books, including the National Book Award finalist Blue Angel, so the term “breakout book” doesn’t really apply. But her new historical novel, Lovers at the Chameleon Club, Paris 1932, is poised to become her biggest hit yet. Told from various perspectives, the novel pieces together the life of Lou Villars—auto racer, cross-dresser and eventual Nazi sympathizer—against the turbulent backdrop of Jazz Age Paris. We asked Prose a few questions about the new book. Read on to find out about her own double identity and why she writes for readers like herself.
Novelist Ayelet Waldman takes a detour from contemporary fiction in her latest book, Love and Treasure. The novel is something of a triptych, weaving three disparate stories together through their shared connection to one of history’s darkest moments: the Holocaust. We asked Waldman a few questions about this compelling story.

Tulikettu, named after the Finnish translation for Firefox, is dedicated to creating innovative and user-friendly apps that seamlessly integrate into your everyday life. We draw inspiration from the myth of Tulikettu, a fox that runs across a hill and whose tail touches the sky, creating the northern lights. We believe that by tapping into the magic and wonder of the Arctic, we can create apps that are not only functional, but truly mesmerizing.
We are honored to collaborate with the exceptional brands that we work with.
The Finnish myth of Tulikettu tells the story of a fox whose tail touches the sky, creating the northern lights. According to legend, Tulikettu is a magical fox that lives in the Arctic. He is known for his incredible speed and agility, and can outrun the fastest of animals.
One day, Tulikettu decided to run up a hill and see how high he could go. As he reached the summit, he looked up and saw the sky. He was so fascinated by the beauty of the sky that he started to run even faster. His tail began to brush against the sky, creating a trail of sparks as he ran.
These sparks eventually turned into the northern lights, a beautiful display of colorful lights that dance across the Arctic sky. From that day on, every time Tulikettu runs up the hill, his tail touches the sky and creates the northern lights.
The Northern lights are a constant reminder of Tulikettu’s beauty, speed and the power of his tail. The people of Finland believe that Tulikettu’s spirit lives on in the northern lights and they are a symbol of the Arctic’s beauty and majesty.
That’s how the Finnish myth Tulikettu explains the creation of Northern lights and how it is related to the arctic and it’s beauty.

The "cut loose ", "one line dropper " kind of President .......well done Mr President
It may be the only line Americans remember from the 2015 State of the Union address but it may be the most powerful line delivered by their President .
Calling out for national unity President Obama remarked during his State of the Union Address on Tuesday night . "I have no more campaigns to run," he said, drawing loud applause from Republicans in the chamber.
But Obama had a quick comeback: "I know, 'cause I won both of 'em," he said going off script and drawing applause from Democrats.
The President also strayed from his script earlier on as he touted gains in the economy.
"This is good news, people," Obama said, followed by a rare presidential wink.
His hair have gotten grey , his face has few more wrinkles yet he still knows how to throw a presidential zinger ........

Eldora will open on Nov. 1, two weeks ahead of its previously scheduled Nov. 15 open. This is the ski area’s earliest first day in 22 years and is three weeks ahead of its average.
The Nederland mountain’s six-person Alpenglow chairlift will start at 9 a.m. Eldora said it anticipates offering intermediate and advanced terrain, as well as some Woodward Mountain Park features and private lessons. The mountain’s Nordic Center and uphill routes will not be available.
The announcement came Thursday afternoon, the same day the mountain saw 15 inches of snowfall.
Eldora made sure to note that it will continue to offer free parking this year. Last year, the ski area caused an uproar among local skiers and boarders when it started charging $20 for parking.
The ski area will be featured in this year’s Warren Miller film, “Timeless,” which will follow 22-year-old CU Boulder student and snowboarder Cooper Branham as he hits the terrain park.

text: Happiness – a very short into Full size 325 × 499 pixels Happiness: A Very Short Introduction, by Daniel M. Haybron Previous image Next image One Comment Just finished this book, part of the prereading for a class I am taking this semester. The book is _Happiness: A Very Short Introduction_, by Daniel Haybron (and the class, BTW, is “Topics in Philosophy of Religion: Death, Happiness, and Immortality”). Like other authors writing on a professional, academic level about happiness, such as Martha Nussbaum and Susan Wolf, here Haybron also talks a lot about the importance of meaning for one’s happiness. (Wolf, for example, has the saying, which summarizes her position, that “Meaning arises when subjective attraction meets objective attractiveness.” By this she means that in our world, some things are better – are more worthwhile – than others, and meaning arises when we as subjects discover or develop affinities for these more worthwhile things, and engage with them in a positive way. And Nussbaum, for example, is well known for her “capabilities approach” in which she delineates a relatively objective list of capabilities important for happiness and well-being.) Unlike those other authors, however, Haybron steers away from the notion of an objective-list theory of happiness. Haybron does not develop an objective-list notion of happiness, but instead focuses on happiness as a state of mind, and emotional evaluation of your life. He delineates three aspects of happiness: 1) Attunement This is being able to let your defenses down, make yourself fully at home in your life, as opposed to taking up a defensive stance. 2) Engagement This involves an assessment of whether it is worth investing effort in your activities, versus withdrawing or disengaging from them. 3) Endorsements These are emotional states that signify that your life is good, like joy. He also reviews what researchers have learned about the sources of happiness, summarized as SOARS: “Security,” including material security, social security, project security, and time security, “Outlook,” including positivity, acceptance, caring for others, and motivation, “Autonomy,” “Relationships,” and “ Skilled and meaningful activity.” Happiness for Haybron is part, but not the whole, of a good life, which also includes well-being, virtue, and meaning, of course, and he discusses all these, as well as hedonism, desire theories, and list theories (like Nussbaum’s). Happiness is not, however, a right. “The mistaken assertion of a right to be happy is an example of a broader error,” he says, “namely a belief in cosmic entitlements.” We call people, he says, who overexert their perceived rights (to be happy themselves at whatever cost to those around them), assholes: “One should not be an asshole in the pursuit of happiness” (pp. 95-97).

Pat Nourse has spent the past few months making big decisions. In November last year, the restaurant critic and editor packed up his desk at Gourmet Traveller in Sydney after almost 15 years. Today, it was announced he’s taken on the role of creative director at Melbourne Food and Wine, most well-known for bringing us the annual showcase of Victorian and international food talent that is the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival. And today, he’s choosing between Brunswick East, Northcote, Thornbury and Coburg for his new home.
It sounds like Northcote is the frontrunner, in part due to the baked goods at All Are Welcome. “Even though it’s kind of an ‘it’ suburb, it has at least two Cash Converters on the main street,” he says, laughing.
Big decisions are nothing new for Nourse. In addition to calling the shots as chief restaurant critic and managing editor at Gourmet Traveller, he’s been a restaurant critic for almost 20 years, writing for publications including Lonely Planet, Saveur, Lucky Peach, the Age, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Herald Sun, Sunday Life and Harper’s Bazaar. He’s chair of the Oceania voting panel for the World’s 50 Best Restaurants awards, and has spent time on Tourism Australia’s Food and Wine Tourism advisory panel. He’s also worked on and off with Melbourne Food and Wine Festival for the past decade as a presenter and a moderator, and hosting dinners.
“I’ve just had a lot of really great experiences, like being [at the festival] when Andrew McConnell brought David Chang to Cumulus Inc.. I think that's the first time we’d seen a David Chang-style pork bun. Like Rene Redzepi cooking with Raymond Capaldi. These things were really cool on the day … but they also had effects that rippled out into the food scene in Australia.”
In the new role, Nourse will work alongside Food and Wine Victoria CEO Anthea Loucas Bosha (also a former Gourmet Traveller editor, and current Broadsheet Kitchen mentor) and newly appointed chairman Radek Sali to oversee the creative output of the festival, finding new ways to celebrate food in Victoria – not just as part of the festival, but all year round.
“Food and drink is really woven into people's lifestyle in Melbourne and Victoria in a way that you don't really see in any other English-speaking country. It's not just an elite thing,” says Nourse. He says he’s seen the festival evolve over the years into something that’s considered in international industry circles to be one of the great food festivals of the world.
“They're always talking about how Melbourne really looks out for them … I remember Massimo Bottura a few years ago wanted to make this gigantic green and gold tribute to Australia risotto, and he needed – because he's pretty insistent, the maestro – he needed five-year-old parmagiano. And no one batted a hair. They just rang up Enoteca Sileno, and they're like, ‘Yep, course no worries. Ten kilograms. We'll have it down there in 20 minutes.”
The Melbourne Food and Wine Festival runs from March 8 to 24, 2019.

Kennedy: Years of Lightning, Day of DrumsRestored and Remastered Version of Renowned Documentary to be Released on DVD November 12 BURBANK, Calif. – October 16, 2013 – John F. Kennedy: Years of Lightning, Day of Drums – the noted 1964 documentary narrated by Gregory Peck about the fallen president’s thousand days in office – has been meticulously restored and remastered and will get a special DVD release November 12 from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment (WBHE). The film will be available on its own ($11.97 SRP) and will be included in WBHE’s JFK 50 Year Commemorative Ultimate Collector’s Edition, which will be released day-and-date for $59.99 SRP. George Stevens, Jr. produced and Bruce Herschensohn wrote, directed and scored John F. Kennedy: Years of Lightning, Day of Drums, originally made for Edward R. Murrow’s United States Information Agency (USIA). Stevens, then head of the USIA’s Motion Picture division, proposed the idea to Murrow on November 23, 1963. Camera crews started shooting that day in 14 countries to capture world reaction to the president’s death. The film evolved into a comprehensive look at the 35th U.S. president’s administration. It was USIA's first feature-length film. Caroline Kennedy has called it her favorite film about her father. It features vivid 35 mm color footage of Kennedy as president, the four days of national mourning, Kennedy family footage, and an examination of JFK’s thousand days in office, including the launching of the Peace Corps, the Alliance for Progress in Latin America, his pledge to send an American to the moon, the resolution of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the signing of the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, and Kennedy's call for the Civil Rights Act of 1964. John F. Kennedy: Years of Lightning, Day of Drums was ultimately shown to acclaim in 124 countries but not in the United States, because USIA films were prohibited from being shown domestically (to ensure that no administration would use USIA to influence opinion in the U.S.). The film was first shown in this country in November 1964 at the State Department theater in Washington before an audience of luminaries, including President Kennedy's relatives and colleagues from the New Frontier. The response was overwhelming. The New York Times’ Bosley Crowther wrote a passionate review that initiated a campaign to have the film seen in the U.S. In time, the United States Congress passed a Joint Resolution permitting showings; and The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the national memorial to the President which was not yet completed, was designated the custodian of the film, authorized to arrange distribution and to receive the profits. Joseph E. Levine and Embassy Pictures distributed the film which opened in the U.S. on April 10, 1966. It was named one of the Ten Best Films of the Year by the National Board of Review. Stevens notes, “The rescue of this record of American history was made possible by a generous gift from HBO. Warner Bros., the John F. Kennedy Center, the National Archives and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have collaborated in saving this work that otherwise would have been lost forever.” Upon seeing the digital restoration, director Bruce Herschensohn described it as “a miracle.” He said, “The colors are restored. The scenes of 50 years ago are as good as new.” Stevens added, “I believe the vivid and dramatic 35mm color images of JFK will give this and future generations a new comprehension of Kennedy's personality. He comes to life in this film.” George Stevens, Jr., as a writer, director, producer and playwright, has earned many accolades, including seventeen Emmys®, two Peabody Awards, the Humanitas Prize and eight awards from the Writers Guild of America. In 2012, the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences voted to present Stevens with an Honorary Academy Award® for “extraordinary distinction in lifetime achievement.” Bruce Herschensohn directed documentary films for USIA during the Kennedy years and later became head of USIA's motion picture division. Today he is a professor of international affairs at Pepperdine University. Order Info: John F.

Greene County court documents show that 40-year-old Eric Holloway might have researched ways to kill his former spouse, Kimberly Holloway. He was charged last month with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder after a co-worker told police Holloway offered him $5,000 to kill the woman.
In justifying the computer seizures, Det. Shane Gooden said Holloway had several different plots for killing his ex-wife.
The man said Holloway had been complaining about child support and his ex-wife, and had told him that ``life would be better without Kimberly around.''

PopCap, developers behind Bejeweled and other casual games, had never really created a game that could appeal to casual players as well as hardcore gamers. That all changed in 2009 with a simple tower defense title that pitted plants against invading hordes of zombies.
Now four years later, PopCap is back to capitalize on the success of Plants vs. Zombies with the title’s first proper sequel – Plants Vs. Zombies 2: It’s About Time. The title could be referring to the fact that it’s been four years since the first game came out, but it’s probably alluding more to how time travel plays a large role in the game’s presentation.
Plants Vs. Zombies 2 will launch exclusively on iOS devices as a freemium title in July. As you can imagine, the news did not go over super well with the desktop players who made the original game such a big hit in the first place. Most of the comments on YouTube are players deriding EA and PopCap for their decision.

…a haven for support and care of cancer patients
By Rehanna Ramsay
The Guyana Cancer Foundation (GCF) continues to make strides in the advocacy and support for the treatment of cancer patients locally.
In its 16th year of existence, the GCF not only continues to host successful breast cancer awareness activities but the organisation is now poised to make significant strides towards improving the overall care and treatment of cancer patients here.On the heels of a successful awareness month of activities, Founder of the GCF, Bibi Saeedah Aktar Hassan told Kaieteur News that the GCF has been focused on lobbying various Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and even the government to implement better facilities to assist those affected by the disease.
In this regard, Hassan said that as Head of the organisation, she has been advocating for “the Government or possibly some other agency to open a radiation centre to treat cancer patients in Guyana.”
She explained, “Radiation treatment in Guyana is very expensive; a couple of sessions of the treatment can cost from GYD$600,000 to up to GYD$1million.
Hassan works closely with several cancer patients and many of them, she said, cannot afford that treatment.
“The Government currently subsidises radiation treatment for cancer patients through the Guyana Cancer Institute but even with the subsidy it’s still quite expensive,” she added.In this regard, Hassan is hoping that in the New Year, the government and relative stakeholders will pay closer attention and take heed to the cries of cancer patients.
“Some person who can afford usually travel overseas to access the radiation treatment but that is not a viable option for many persons, that is why I have been advocating for this…” she added.
In the meantime, Hassan says that the GCF has lots to be thankful for. She noted that in spite of the restrictions occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic, the foundation has been able to reach its awareness and advocacy goals.“We have lots to celebrate this year. Our Breast Cancer Awareness Month of activities which concluded on the 31st of October garnered much support and was quite successful. We have some persons and agencies that we never had before, come on board. We are very grateful to them,” she said.
In addition to GCF’s candlelight vigil for persons who lost their battle to cancer which was held on October 15, the awareness activities 2021 included a talk session which was opened to special invitees and staff at Muneshwer’s Travel Service, a High Tea and Fashion event hosted by the Pegasus Hotel, a National No Bra Day event held on October 13, and a National Mammography Day/Wear It Pink Friday, on October 20 and October 22 respectively. The activities also included the regular cancer awareness tree wrapping exercise and a month-long free screening and checkup activity offered through the Dr. Balwant Singh Hospital, a medical outreach programme which was hosted in Region 10 as well as a Sip Chat and Paint event which concluded the events, last Sunday.
Hassan explained that all events were aimed towards promoting awareness and increasing the support for cancer patients and survivors.
“The events were all successful; the High Tea and Fashion show at the Pegasus was a particular highlight of our activities. We had Guyanese designer Karen Hughes Braithwaite put out her designs, which were modelled by some of our survivors under the theme ‘Kosmic Vibes’,” she said.
To this end, Hassan expressed gratitude to all the sponsors of the events which included Twins Manufacturing Chemists, the Pegasus Hotel, Beharry Restaurant Holdings Inc., GBTI Bank, Demerara Bank Limited, King’s Jewellery World, Bistro Cafe & Bar, Deluxe Trading, Dyna’s Embroidery, Jacobs Jewellery and Pawn Shop, Outdoor Store and Pet Shop, Babe Cave Guyana, New Vision Labs Inc, NeuroSpine Services Inc., E-NETWORKS Inc., Bernie’s Pharmacy Grace Kennedy Remittance Services Inc, Cake Royal, and De Sinco Limited, Oasis Cafe and recreation party services.
Outside of the awareness activities, Hassan told Kaieteur News that the future of GCF’s efforts has just become better.“We have just some good news in terms of work,” she said adding that “The Guyana Cancer Foundation has been selected from among other local entities to be a partner with the American Cancer Society; a well-known NGO in the US for engagements to develop and deliver a better quality of cancer care here in Guyana.”
The GCF founder expressed excitement over the prospects of such a partnership. “This is actually an answer to my prayers, I am really excited and optimistic about this new venture because while we have been doing our best as a local NGO, organisations like the American Cancer Society that has been involved in this kind of work for many, many years can really add another level of care to what is currently being offered here. Their work is so advanced and so I believe that they can improve the level of service that is being offered here as well,” she disclosed.
According to Hassan, the GCF has already held its first meeting with the Region’s strategic partner for the American Cancer Society. The strategic partner, she explained, has been working with various Caribbean territories such as Jamaica, Belize, and St. Lucia to deliver high-quality cancer care and treatment services in those places.
Meanwhile, as it relates to her current goal for the organisation, Hassan says that the GFC is continuing the push locally to eradicate breast and cervical cancer in Guyana by 2025.Though an ambitious feat, Hassan is optimistic that with adequate support it can be accomplished. She has said, “We can make a difference in saving lives, and while our goal may seem enormous, we want to eradicate breast and cervical cancer in Guyana by 2025, if not the whole or even a half of the country, at least in one community or area, where we can say women are free from cancer.”
Hassan emphasised nevertheless, that the success of this task depends on partnership with the government, international funding institutions, non-governmental organisations, the private sector and all of society.
Hassan has been with the GCF since 2005 when a small group of Avon part-time representatives was selected by the CEO of Beauty and Home Innovations (BHI) Guyana, Ms. Ann Singh, who also helped to set up the Avon Community Help Fund to start breast cancer awareness in Guyana.Hassan was selected by the committee to be the treasurer of the fund. From there on her journey started with the fund to create awareness and education. The Avon Community Help Fund and its representatives started to raise funds through the business community and with the help of their close friends, they started their education and awareness programme.
Over the years, the fund conducted Breast Cancer Awareness activities through a number of initiatives, particularly sessions on how to do breast self-examination at home. Given their awareness and advocacy programmes, five years after its inception, they came up with the initiative to provide access to screening services including mammograms and sonograms for high-risk women, including the medically underserved and underinsured women. This intervention would motivate more women to take action to fight this disease and create opportunities for them to seek early medical care.
On January 29, 2015, Avon was dissolved in the Caribbean and the Fund couldn’t use the name “Avon Community Help Fund” anymore.
Later in April 2015, Hassan received a call from Ms. Singh of Avon Community Help Fund, who was and still is the CEO of Beauty and Home Innovations Guyana, asking her to take over the Avon Community Help Fund because she had a vision for it.As a result, the GCF was formed. Today, the foundation also provides counselling to patients and their families and guides them to treatment options and facilities. Outreach with screening and support services were done in areas such as Georgetown, Berbice River, Charity, Bartica, Mahaicony, Moraikoba, and Linden.

Technical Abstract: The production of doubled haploid plants is desirable as an alternative to sexual inbreeding of longer-generation crops. Onion (Allium cepa L.) is a biennial plant and amenable to the production of gynogenic haploids. Although a strong population effect has been observed for gynogenic haploid production, there was no report describing the genetic basis of higher haploid production in onion. We evaluated over years the frequency of haploid production among onion inbreds and identified lines showing significantly (P<0.01) higher production of haploids. The onion inbreds B0223B and B2923B produced the highest mean frequencies of haploids so far reported. Hybrid families from crosses of B2923B with inbreds having relatively low haploid production showed significantly higher haploid production than the low-producing parent and significantly lower haploid production than B2923B. Self pollination of plants from B2923B showing relatively high rates of haploid production generated S1 progenies also producing relatively high frequencies of haploids. Selfed progenies from plant B2923B-6 showed a high mean rate of haploid production and the highest level of haploid production reported for any single onion plant. These results indicate that relatively high gynogenic haploid production for B2923B was quantitatively inherited with dominance towards low production. We intercrossed among onion plants showing relatively high gynogenic haploid production to develop a synthetic population. Random plants from this synthetic produced haploids at higher frequencies than the parental inbreds. Doubled haploid (DH) lines obtained lines B0223B and B2923B were selfed and the progeny was tested for two characters: male fertility and haploid production efficiency. Male fertility was highly variable among 23 viable lines and ranged from 3-98%. Haploid induction frequency of about 19.000 cultured flowers of the second generation DH lines and of synthetic population was tested and results of the gynogenic response will be presented.

There has been a lot of discussion lately about the new bill regarding the HOPE Scholarship Program. For as long as any Hope Scholarship recipients have been in college, the amount received by applicable students every year has been $4,000 regardless of what year they are in, with an extra $1,500 on hand as needed. However, on February 3, 2014, Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam announced a new initiative with education in our state, known as “Tennessee Promise.”
“Tennessee Promise” aims to make it possible for more students to attend college by making the first two years they attend absolutely free. The catch? It is only applicable to those who attend a Tennessee community college. As if that is not enough, however, in order to pay for it, Haslam has announced that they will have to reduce the HOPE scholarship from $4,000 to $3,000 for those who are underclassmen. It has been made clear, however, that the amount will be raised to $5,000 for upperclassmen, but is this really the same thing?
When I graduated from high school, I immediately began touring college campuses, because I knew from the time I was in grade school that I wanted to continue my education passed a high school diploma. I visited community colleges as well as universities, and at every one I tried not to hear prices or graduation statistics, but rather get a ‘feel’ for the campuses. So many people had emphasized my senior year of high school the need for each individual student to pick a college that was the right fit for them. This was the first real step I was going to make entirely on my own, and I had worked hard to get the grades that would help give me choices.
I still remember the snowy day I first visited the Tennessee Wesleyan campus. I listened to Dr. Knowles talk about the global perspective and leadership Tennessee Wesleyan aimed to pass on to all students and sat in on Dr. John Berch’s science demonstration in which he illustrated how much energy could be produced by burning a Cheeto, and I was sold. Tennessee Wesleyan from the moment I stepped foot in Townshend Hall, has revealed itself to possess a serious dedication to excellence, but with multiple fun spins as quirky and unique as its professors. I was able to go here in great part due to the HOPE scholarship. I may not have been able to pick this college if it was not for it, and even with it, I have to maintain a job here in Athens to pay for the $3,000 not quite covered by my tuition.
A burden another $1,000 would weigh heavy on me. When freshman and sophomores are still trying to adapt to the differences in a college education, they should not be overly concerned with working to lessen their student debt. It does not seem right for students to be penalized for not choosing a community college when that is not the path that is right for everyone. In addition, many students worked and are working very hard to maintain the HOPE scholarship, while those receiving the first two years free at a community college did not necessarily work as hard to receive such benefits.
Despite these opinions, however, some students are excited about the prospect of the new initiative. They feel that the program will benefit them as or soon-to-be upperclassmen, providing them with an additional $1,000 dollars. It will also benefit those who do intend to go to community college simply to get the credits required to get just about every major out of the way.

Through extensive examinations of expression and function, some genetic variations have been shown to explain inter-individual variation. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the TNF-α, TNFRSF1A and TNFRSF1B genes have been identified, however functional data pertaining to these polymorphisms in scarce. Nonetheless, the putative role of these polymorphisms in disease susceptibility has been examined in genetic association studies of various inflammatory disorders, including Crohn’s disease [10–13], ulcerative colitis [10, 11, 14], systemic lupus erythematosus [15–17] and
rheumatoid arthritis [18, 19]. More recently, given that cancer progression is preceded by a long period of subclinical inflammation [20–22], the genetic polymorphisms of TNF-α, 17DMAG mw TNFRSF1A and TNFRSF1B have been examined in terms of susceptibility to various cancers [23–28]. In this study, genetic polymorphisms of the TNFRSF1B gene, M196R/T587G,
A1466G and C1493T, were evaluated in Japanese ESCC patients treated with a definitive 5-FU/CDDP-based chemoradiotherapy, and their predictive values of prognosis or severe acute toxicities were assessed. To our knowledge, this is the first paper to report that the TNFRSF1B genotype is predictive of the clinical efficacy of cancer chemoradiotherapy. Methods Patients Forty-six male ESCC patients were enrolled C188-9 mw in this study based on the following criteria: 1) ESCC treated with a definitive 5-FU/CDDP-based chemoradiotherapy at Kobe University Hospital, Japan, from August 2002 to June 2006; 2) clinical stage T1 to T4, N0 or N1, and M0 or M1a according to the SCH772984 purchase International Union Against Cancer tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) classification; 3) age less Enzalutamide than
85 years; 4) an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 to 2; 5) adequate bone marrow, renal, and hepatic function; 6) no prior chemotherapy; 7) no severe medical complications; and no other active malignancies (except early cancer). The tumors were histologically confirmed to be primary, and no patients with recurrence were included in this study. Written informed consent was obtained from all participants prior to enrollment. This study was conducted with the authorization of the institutional review board and followed the medical research council guidelines of Kobe University. Protocol The protocol is presented in Figure 1. A course consisted of the continuous infusion of 5-FU at 400 mg/m2/day for days 1-5 and 8-12, the infusion of CDDP at 40 mg/m2/day on days 1 and 8, and the radiation at 2 Gy/day on days 1 to 5, 8 to 12, and 15 to 19, with a second course repeated after a 2-week interval [2, 3]. If disease progression/recurrence was observed, either salvage surgery, endoscopic treatment, or another regimen of chemotherapy was scheduled.

Activation of TLR2 and TLR4 by Glycosylphosphatidylinositols Derived from Toxoplasma gondii
Debierre-Grockiego F, Campos MA, Azzouz N, Schmidt J, Bieker U, Resende MG, Mansur DS, Weingart R, Schmidt RR, Golenbock DT, Gazzinelli RT, Schwarz RT.
Institut für Virologie, AG Parasitologie, Philipps University, Marburg, Germany;
GPIs isolated from Toxoplasma gondii, as well as a chemically synthesized GPI lacking the lipid moiety, activated a reporter gene in Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing TLR4, while the core glycan and lipid moieties cleaved from the GPIs activated both TLR4- and TLR2-expressing cells. MyD88, but not TLR2, TLR4, or CD14, is absolutely needed to trigger TNF-alpha production by macrophages exposed to T. gondii GPIs. Importantly, TNF-alpha response to GPIs was completely abrogated in macrophages from TLR2/4-double-deficient mice. MyD88(-/-) mice were more susceptible to death than wild-type (WT), TLR2(-/-), TLR4(-/-), TLR2/4(-/-), and CD14(-/-) mice infected with the ME-49 strain of T. gondii. The cyst number was higher in the brain of TLR2/4(-/-), but not TLR2(-/-), TLR4(-/-), and CD14(-/-), mice, as compared with WT mice. Upon infection with the ME-49 strain of T. gondii, we observed no decrease of IL-12 and IFN-gamma production in TLR2-, TLR4-, or CD14-deficient mice. Indeed, splenocytes from T. gondii-infected TLR2(-/-) and TLR2/4(-/-) mice produced more IFN-gamma than cells from WT mice in response to in vitro stimulation with parasite extracts enriched in GPI-linked surface proteins. Together, our results suggest that both TLR2 and TLR4 receptors may participate in the host defense against T. gondii infection through their activation by the GPIs and could work together with other MyD88-dependent receptors, like other TLRs or even IL-18R or IL-1R, to obtain an effective host response against T. gondii infection.

Vanessa's autism kept her family up at night. A new bed helps them now rest easy
WESTON - Thanks to Vanessa Poole's new bed, her entire family can now rest easy.
Vanessa, 9, has Down syndrome and autism. She can't speak much; she's just beginning to learn simple words. But she's a playful and energetic girl — sometimes too energetic, especially when she wakes up in the middle of the night.
"I think it's the autism," said her mother, Kelly Poole, 44, a physician's assistant for Marshfield Clinic. "She goes to sleep at 9 p.m., with the help of medication. But she wakes up around 2 or 3 in the morning and she thinks, 'Hey, it's time to play.' (And) she can go from 2 a.m. until 9 p.m."

If Vanessa were to be allowed to roam in those middle-of-the-night play sessions, her frenetic energy could put her in danger. The family had to install high chain locks on the doors to their Weston home to keep her from running out into the night. At best, she would wreak havoc in her bedroom and other rooms in the house — and, in the process, wake everybody up.
For years, Kelly and her husband, Jeff Poole, also a physician's assistant, used a crib on the floor, the sides around a mattress to create an enclosure to keep Vanessa contained. As Vanessa grew older, she couldn't stretch out in the bed and it became difficult for Kelly and Jeff to lift Vanessa up and over the crib walls.
But about a month ago, everything changed when the family received a $2,700 grant from a small, local nonprofit called Emily's Path. They used the money to buy a Safety Sleeper bed, a sleeping system designed for people with special needs. It's fully enclosed, the size and shape of a pup tent, and keeps Vanessa contained when she wakes up on at night.
"Vanessa loves her new bed," Kelly said. "When she wakes up, she sits and plays in it."
The rest of the family loves it, too, because now they can sleep through the night and don't have to worry about Vanessa hurting herself.
Vanessa has four sisters, three older and one younger, and even if Vanessa were safe while playing, she typically would visit her sisters' and parents' bedrooms wanting company. She also would throw toys around during those nocturnal adventure, so the family would face a clean-up project as well.
The new bed, which is enclosed with a zipper and Velcro, has solved those kinds of problems for the entire family.
"It's like a whole new world has opened up because of this bed," Kelly said.
Finding a proper bed that keeps Vanessa safe has taken the Pooles almost two years. Kelly said the family first found another bed that cost about $30,000. That was too expensive, so the family toyed with the idea of getting someone to help them make a containment bed. That proved more difficult than they anticipated.
Kelly continued to grapple with the problem until she found the website for Safety Sleeper Bed. The bed was designed by Rose Morris, a Pittsburgh mother of three who was struggling with the same problem that the Poole family was. Her son, Abram, has autism, and had difficulty sleeping through the night. Morris designed the bed as a kind of cocoon, and found that it calmed Abram.
"For those with sleep disorders, it's their safe space," Morris wrote on the Safety Sleeper website.
Kelly said her experience with the bed matches that of Morris. Vanessa calms down inside the bed, and loves climbing inside of it.
The Poole family still had to overcome a financial hurdle to purchase the bed. Safety Sleeper is dramatically more affordable than other containment style sleeping systems, but with five daughters in the family and a number of other costs associated with Vanessa's autism and Down syndrome, the price was a problem.
So they turned to Emily's Path, a small, unique nonprofit organization that has a simple mission: Spread happiness to children facing challenges in their lives. Emily's Path was created in 2010 by Dale and Jennifer Eaton, a Wausau-area couple, after their daughter Emily died at age 12 in 2009 as a result of the H1N1 flu virus.
Emily, who was diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum herself, was an especially joyful girl who had a special ability to connect with other people and share her happiness. Even when she was ill and in the hospital, she found ways to help others feel better, Jennifer said.
Forming Emily's Path was a natural way to honor their daughter's spirit, Jennifer said.
"In that moment of grief, you really cling to the beautiful memories," she said. "And what better way to keep those memories? And what we've found is that this is the most therapeutic thing for us. ... It does provide healing comfort."
Jennifer said the choice to fund Vanessa's bed was a simple one. Happiness is hard to come by when people struggle for a decent night's sleep.
"This is a wonderful family. They are so supportive and loving toward each other," Jennifer said. "(Vanessa) requires a lot of care, but she is so loved."
The bed, she said, not only would help Vanessa be happier, but "it would impact the entire family. This benefit would ripple all over."
Kelly Poole said she is grateful to have found the Safety Sleeper bed and to receive the Emily's Path grant that paid for it. "Since the bed, my sleep has been great," Kelly said. "It's just amazing."


AMD Ryzen 9 6000 has four processors in this high-end category. The list is shared below, Ryzen 9 6000 series is designed for better power and efficient performance. 6000 series is a mobile CPU category designed for ultra-high-end laptops. They are a direct competitor to Intel Core i9 systems. In this guide, we will focus on the comparison between Core i9 and 6000 Series CPUs. We will check how both processors compete regarding performance, price factor, and overall output.
Ryzen 6000 Series CPU List:
- 6980HZ – 3.3 Ghz Base & Boost up to 5.0Ghz
- 6980HS – 3.3 Ghz Base & Boost up to 5.0Ghz
- 6900HX – 3.3 Ghz Base & Boost up to 4.7Ghz
- 6900HS – 3.3 Ghz Base & Boost up to 4.5Ghz
Intel Core i9 Series CPU List:
- i9-13900 – 2.0Ghz & Turbo puto 5.6Ghz
- i9-13900F – 2.0Ghz & Turbo puto 5.6Ghz
- i9-13900K – 3.0Ghz & Turbo puto 5.8Ghz
- i9-13900KF – 3.0Ghz & Turbo puto 5.8Ghz
- i9-13900 KS – 3.2 Ghz & Turbo puto 6.0Ghz
AMD Ryzen 9 6000 Series vs Intel i9 – How to Choose?
Intel Core i9 is a 16-core processor. AMD’s 6000 series CPU like 6900Hz is an 8 Core CPU. In terms of technical specs, the 6000 series is lesser compared to Intel. However, based on various benchmarking reports. Ryzen 6000 series is capable of competing with the Intel i9 in terms of overall performance output. If the Intel Core i9 can score around 90 in single-core performance then Ryzen 9 6900HX can hit 72.
AMD Ryzen 9 6000 series have also proved to be power efficient compared to the Intel Core i9. So if we go with the overall score then Ryzen 9 6000 can provide almost 55 to 65% of Intel Core i9 performance. But when speak of Intel then you got more cores here. You also get a ram to boost up to 128GB and it is approx 25 to 30% more powerful compared to Ryzen 9 6000 series.
The conclusion is clear here, for performance-oriented systems Intel’s Core i9 sits well. But if you are looking for an alternative processor that can somewhat offer you i9’s nearby performance then the Ryzen 9 6000 series system is a good choice. Now comes the price part, among these two processor lines which one fits well for users with budget constraints?
Ryzen 9 6000 Laptops vs Intel Core i9 Laptops:
Ryzen 9 6000 is built on Zen3+ architecture. This is the latest in the line and brings on more power to the chip. Also, Ryzen 6000 series benchmarking reports have shown more power efficiency compared to Intel’s Core i9 laptops. The second important thing is RDNA2-Based iGPU. Ryzen 9 CPU line has a 680M iGPU that brings on more graphics power without having a dedicated GPU. It is best for ultra-thin models where the scope for the dedicated video card is limited.
Intel Core i9 on the other side is built to deliver more power. With 8 Core and 16 threads, the CPU can reach up to 6.0Ghz depending on the model. This can handle heavy rendering and processing loads. But this also means an impact on the overall battery performance. It decreases as the consumption goes high.

I got lucky. The other day I met both my grandmothers under the same roof. How often does it happen for a person in denial about her own mid life crisis to be surrounded by the love and affection of both naani and daadi? Not often. Things like these make you feel immensely grateful in life. The husbands of both these women (my loving grandfathers) are not alive, at least not physically. No one you love really dies till you yourself perish. It’s just that you cannot touch them anymore, can’t hear their voice, the companion of years is suddenly not there anymore to love and fight with. That one person who was the center of your life is not around anymore and you have no body to be concerned about.. at least not as concerned about. I cannot imagine the emptiness and void they, and everyone who loses the spouse feels. I don’t even want to think about it. When I pray, I pray for the long, happy, healthy lives of everyone I love and that I go before they do. I don’t think I could ever deal with a pain that deep, that massive.
How do people do it? People do it! And people miraculously move on as well. But some die of the heartbreak too. Animals do too. It’s all very sad and I don’t know why this post, that started with gratitude has taken this morbid tone. But that is what is inside this head right now, so that is what is out on the paper.. err, screen actually.
I should go and make tortillas, there is no Alexa to prepare my dinner tonight. I will try not to talk about death now onwards. What is the point really?

Background: Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by intrafamilial variability in renal disease progression, which could result from a combination of environmental and genetic factors. Although a role for modifier genes has been evidenced in mouse models, direct evidence in ADPKD patients is lacking. The analysis of variability in affected siblings and monozygotic (MZ) twins would help evaluate the relative contribution of environment and genetic factors on renal disease progression in ADPKD.
Methods: The difference in the age at end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were quantified in a large series of ADPKD siblings from western Europe and compared with the values obtained in a series of MZ ADPKD twins from the same geographic area.
Results: Fifty-six sibships (including 129 patients) and nine pairs of MZ twins were included. The difference in the age at ESRD was significantly higher in siblings (6.9 +/- 6.0 years, range 2 months to 23 years) than in MZ twins (2.1 +/- 1.9 years, range 1 month to 6 years; P = 0.02). Furthermore, the intraclass correlation coefficient was significantly lower in siblings than in MZ twins (0.49 vs. 0.92, respectively; P = 0.003). The intrafamilial difference in the age at ESRD was not influenced by gender.
Conclusion: These data substantiate the existence of a large intrafamilial variability in renal disease progression in ADPKD siblings. The fact that the variability in siblings is in a significant excess of that found in MZ twins strongly suggests that modifier genes account for a significant part of this variability.

OK, here's the update on my second case of 500 rounds. Total count was 502 (two extra). Quality was MUCH BETTER, in fact there were only 8 rounds that I pulled from the lot and the biggest problem was a damaged mouth from bullet seating or split brass at the neck by the bullet. These are pretty minor and probably could be shot but I'm returning them with the other defective ammo. Not including the two extra, that's only six bad rounds per 500, not too bad. Looks like it was only that first case that fell off the truck and rolled down the highway.
