MediJean places paid debates
The Vancouver-based company is working with /Newsrooms and has partnered with Quebecor media to host a month-long discussion around medical marijuana.
With the laws around medical marijuana shifting in Canada, Vancouver-based MediJean is looking to lead the debate around the issue with its first major national campaign.
MediJean is working with Toronto-based /Newsrooms, a content marketing and social media network to create and source content around the topic. The medical marijuana company, which does research, provides patient care, works with healthcare practitioners and distributes medical marijuana, is targeting adults of all ages, and will host the debates, which will include input from patients, doctors and lawmakers, online through a partnership with Quebecor media.
The paid partnership includes a takeover of the lifestyle page on Canoe.ca, a presence on the websites for the Toronto Sun, the Ottawa Sun and the Winnipeg Sun, among other and pushed through MediJean’s social media channels. The debates will also include an open forum, allowing all Canadians to weigh in on the issue, and the content will be updated daily.
Chris Hogg, co-founder, /Newsrooms, tells MiC given the ongoing debate around the issue of medical marijuana and the fact that the industry is still emerging, it made the most sense for MediJean to place itself in the centre of the conversation to help gather marketing intelligence that doesn’t currently exist and better gauge the Canadian marketplace.
Anton Mattadeen, chief strategy officer, MediJean, adds the debates made more sense than a traditional media buy because of the limitations of Health Canada regulations, MediJean is limited in how it can advertise to consumers.
He says that the organic nature of the debates will allow MediJean to measure their effectiveness in real-time and adjust its approach accordingly, adding that depending on the performance, MediaJean may look to expand the debates beyond its partnership with Quebecor.
The debates will be running until Nov. 17.

Russia is ramping up their air defences as they fear that Ukraine could attack Moscow and Pantsir-S1 missile defence systems have appeared on roofs across the capital.
Air defence missile systems have been installed near to Vladimir Putin’s official residence and on the roof of the Ministry of Defence building in Moscow.
Moscow fears an attack is likely and believe that Ukraine drones or cruise missiles could be used in the capital.
There has been multiple strikes deep inside Russia on key facilities, but it is unlikely Kyiv would attack a city of civilians.

Footage shows a fire filled mushroom cloud seen deep inside Crimea after Ukraine launched ‘ballistic missiles’ at the Saky air force base
Kremlin warns the West will ‘regret’ sending tanks and they are seeing ‘direct involvement of NATO’ which will escalate the war
Russian ‘intelligence gathering ship’ seen ‘loitering’ off Hawaii and the US Coast Guard are ‘monitoring’ the vessel
Putin’s spokesman said on Friday, “They are responsible for ensuring the security of the country in general and the capital in particular.”
Retired Colonel Viktor Litovkin, told RTVI, “Good air defence systems have been placed on the roofs of Moscow’s largest buildings to protect against attacks by cruise missiles, or Ukrainian drones.
“During the special military operation, you need to protect yourself, because Ukraine has the opportunity to strike over long distances.”
🇷🇺 is installing a Pantsyr air defence system on the roof of this building in moscow. I find this somewhat amusing for two reasons:
1: "Kyiv in 3 days" and now this 🤣
2: Not only do we have coordinates, there are PICTURES and VIDEOS of the installation 🤣
— Igor Novikov (@igornovikov) January 19, 2023
He added, “They have been redesigned, modernised.
“The Americans have helped create an on-board software system that allows the drones to go to specific targets.
“They helped supply these drones with a combat charge – so no precaution is unnecessary.”
NATO and Western allies have refused to provide long range weaponry which could target bases deep inside Russia over fears this could escalate a wider conflict.
Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, “Potentially, this is extremely dangerous.
“It will mean bringing the conflict to a whole new level, which, of course, will not bode well from the point of view of global and pan-European security.”

South Korea dog meat restaurants refuse to stop serving for Olympics
Almost all the dog meat restaurants in South Korea’s Pyeongchang county, where the Winter Olympics opening ceremony will be held on Friday, have defied a government request to stop serving the food, an official admitted Thursday.
South Koreans are believed to consume about one million dogs a year as a summertime delicacy, with the greasy red meat — which is invariably boiled for tenderness — believed to increase energy.
Activists have stepped up campaigns to ban dog consumption, with online petitions urging boycotts of the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics over the issue, and protests in Seoul.

The San Antonio Spurs split a pair of games with the Sacramento Kings and Portland Trail Blazers over the weekend, while tightening their grip on a possible play-in game in the process.
In case you missed it, here’s a recap of the games:
Friday: Spurs 113, Sacramento 104
The Spurs kicked off the weekend with a 113-104 victory over Sacramento. The victory allowed San Antonio to end a five-game losing streak and strengthen their position to clinch a spot in the play-in tournament.
DeMar DeRozan led the Spurs with 25 points while Dejounte Murray added 22 points with 10 of those coming in the final quarter. Keldon Johnson added 16 for San Antonio.
”They know very well that at both ends of it, it’s 48 minutes in a game and there’s ebbs and flows. They kept their composure and stuck with it,” Spurs Head Coach Gregg Popovich said. ”We turned it over at certain times for basically no reason but our defense sustained us. We hung in there and got it done.”
With the win, San Antonio moved 2 1/2 games ahead of the New Orleans Pelicans and 3 1/2 games ahead of Sacramento.
Terence Davis led Sacramento with 24 points and Buddy Hield added 17.
Saturday: Spurs 102, Portland 124
The Spurs closed the weekend by getting pounded 124-102 at the hands of the Trail Blazers on the second night of a back-to-back.
DeRozan finished with 20 points and Lonnie Walker added 18 for the Spurs, who now lead New Orleans by two games for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Portland won the game and the rebounding battle 63-40 with Blazers’ Jusuf Nurkic getting nine of those.
“I got no gripes about their effort, really appreciate their hustle, but we just got to get more gang rebounding,” Popovich said. “Jakob can’t do that by himself. Nurkic is a load.”
Damian Lillard scored 30 points to lead Portland while CJ McCollum added 27 points. Nurkic had 17 points to go along with those nine rebounds for the Blazers, who have won six of their last seven games.
“We’ve had so many ups and downs, injuries, this whole COVID situation, travel, we can find every excuse in the world,” DeRozan said. “We’re still sitting here with an opportunity to find a way to continue playing.”
The Spurs are now 32-35 on the season and will return to the court on Monday night to face the Milwaukee Bucks at 7:30 p.m.

Iran's chief nuclear negotiator arrived in Beijing on Thursday in an apparent bid to shore up support with a key ally to stave off U.S. and European efforts to sanction Tehran over its alleged atomic weapons program. Iran's High Council of National Security Secretary Ali Larijani was scheduled during his daylong trip to meet with Chinese officials, including Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing and State Councilor Tang Jiaxuan, the Iranian Embassy said. No other details were released.
The West fears that Iran's uranium enrichment program is a precursor to making nuclear weapons, but Tehran says its intentions are peaceful and that it wants only civilian nuclear energy. Iran is trying to prevent the U.S. and some European nations from bringing it before the U.N. Security Council, which can impose a range of sanctions or other measures over its alleged weapons program.
China, as one of five, veto-wielding permanent members of the Council, could block any punitive action against Tehran. Larijani was originally to stay through Friday but the embassy said his meetings were scheduled to last only a day and that he would return to Iran after the visit.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry had no immediate comment. Beijing says it favors diplomacy in dealing with Iran's disputed nuclear activities. But the United States and Europe have been lobbying China to take a tougher stand, and have sought its support for Tehran to be brought to the U.N. Security Council.
China, Russia and India are allies and trading partners of Iran and have been reluctant to see Tehran punished or ostracized through the Security Council. Larijani met with Russian Security Council chief Igor Ivanov in Moscow on Tuesday, and was positive about a Russian proposal to allow Tehran to enrich its uranium in Russia.
China's hesitation over the Security Council referral has prompted suggestions that Beijing wants to avoid angering Iran, a major oil source for its energy-hungry economy. U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick, who is visiting China this week, said Wednesday he warned Chinese leaders that allowing Iran to develop nuclear weapons could threaten Beijing's crucial supplies of Middle Eastern oil. Zoellick said he warned Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and other officials in meetings that if they were concerned about energy security, it would be "extremely dangerous" to allow nuclear weapons development in the Middle East, center of the world oil industry, reports the AP.

Moscow has unveiled a new settlement mechanism for energy exports
© Getty Images / scanrail
German gas industry group Zukunft Gas said on Wednesday it was confused by the statement of Russian President Vladimir Putin about the switch of payments for Russian natural gas supplies to rubles.
“We took the message that Russia wants [us] to pay for gas supplies only in rubles with great confusion,” Timm Kehler, the director general of Zukunft Gas, told DPA agency. “We can’t predict at this moment what specific implications this will have for the gas trade,” Kehler said.
Meanwhile, Austrian OMV said it was going to continue to pay for Russian gas in euros. According to the head of the company, they have no other contractual basis.
President Putin announced earlier in the day that Russia will now accept payment for gas exports to “unfriendly countries” in rubles only.
Putin wants rubles for Russian gas
The measure is the first serious response from Moscow to sanctions imposed on Russia by the US and its allies over the conflict in Ukraine. A number of mostly Western countries have taken steps to isolate Russia from their financial systems. Major Russian banks have been cut off from the SWIFT payment network, making it difficult for the country to continue transactions in euros and US dollars.

Pretty Face Is Going To Hell: Season One (2013/Adult Swim/Cartoon
B- Sound: B- Extras: C+ Episodes: C-
if Hell was like The Office only with blood and rapture?
the creators of Squidbillies and Aqua Teen Hunger Force,
Your Pretty Face Is Going To
Hell: Season One
(2013) is a sometimes-funny show that appears on
Adult Swim, the only place it could possibly exist
aside from maybe Comedy Central. It is ridiculous and
extremely low budgeted with terrible green screen mattes and bad
makeup but I feel that cheesy look is part of the point much like Tim
and Eric Show. There are some pretty funny bits in the show,
like a calendar that has Monday listed as every day, some funny sight
gags, an episode where a musical is made to honor Satan (who is
exceptionally well played Satan by veteran actor Matt Servitto), and
a competition over a glass of ice water.
show is a live-action workplace comedy about Gary, an associate
demon, as he attempts to capture souls on earth in order to climb the
corporate ladder of the underworld. Gary hopes to advance in Hell,
but he may be too stupid, lazy and kind-hearted to realize his dreams
of promotion. Meanwhile, Gary's intern Claude is more talented, more
devious and will do whatever it takes to impress Satan.
six episode season features the episodes Welcome
to Hell, Bone Garden, Take Life By The Horns,
Schmickler 83, Devil in the Details, and People In
Hell Want Ice Water.
show is presented in standard definition with an anamorphic 16 X
9/1.78 X 1 widescreen transfer and a lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 track
which has become DVD standard for new releases. Being that it is a
low budgeted show, I don't feel the desire for a Blu-ray of this one
really drawing many people in.
Scenes, Commentaries, an Original Short , Behind the Scenes, and
times humorous but not 'classic' by any sense, Your Pretty Face Is
Going To Hell is typical Adult Swim/college humor that will
either charm or offend you. I wouldn't want to watch it with a bunch
of right wing Christians but if you find religious humor funny, then
this may be worth a spin.

Reinforce chapter themes with free access to two journal articles for each chapter and further online readings. Select chapters will also include suggested weblinks.
Discussion Points: What is the impact of health services research on society? How might we evaluate this by using research impact case studies drawn from Submissions to the Research Excellence Framework in the UK?
Journal Article 27.2: Hemingway, A., Angell, C., Hartwell, H. and Heller, R. F. (2011) ‘An emerging model for publishing and using open educational resources in public health’, Perspectives in Public Health 131: 38–43.
Discussion Points: How might open educational resources be developed in public health to inform workforce development? What are the risks and benefits to academics and their institutions of using open educational resources in dissemination in public health?
Journal Article 27.3: Bunn, F. and Kendall, S. (2011) ‘Does nursing research impact on policy? A case study of health visiting research and UK health policy’, Journal of Research in Nursing 16(2): 169–91.
Description: The aim of this study was to critically examine the impact of nursing research on the development of health care policy using UK health visiting research as an example. We used established methods to evaluate research impact. This included a documentary review of over 30 policy documents, citation analyses on 19 papers and interviews with health visiting researchers. Although there were examples of policy documents being informed by health visiting research it was not always clear what role research had played in the development of recommendations. Information from researchers provided examples of local, national and international impact, although the extent to which papers may have impacted upon policy was less clear from the citation analyses. Many of the UK studies cited in policy documents were qualitative, observational or reflexive and a lack of evaluative research, in particular randomized controlled trials and other controlled evaluations, may limit the impact of health visiting research on health care policy in the UK. There is evidence that health visiting research has influenced health care policy but this has been limited and there is a need for more research to underpin and inform the role of the health visitor.
Description: Knowledge translation (KT) remains an elusive term that has no unified definition in the health or social sciences. The wide scope of what KT is in practice invites creativity in disseminating research findings. In this article, we describe innovative KT initiatives based on different methodologies of qualitative research we conducted in the fields of psycho-oncology and mental health. These include medical and public education, training mental health clinicians, national policy recommendations, and clinical interventions in the health field. As academic researchers, we bear a responsibility to the public we are intended to serve with our qualitative research. We argue that researchers need to take KT seriously and think deeply about not only what we research but also the ways in which we translate that knowledge to make the maximum possible positive impact on the communities we study and serve.
Description: For the health education profession in the United States, role delineation research has been ongoing to identify valid professional competencies as the basis for workforce development. During 1998-2004, a multi-phase national research study, the National Health Educator Competencies Update Project (CUP), was designed to re-verify the role of the entry-level health educator, and further define and verify the role of advanced level health educators. The CUP findings are the evidence that has influenced the professional preparation, credentialing, and professional development of health educators. The lessons learned include the importance of employing role delineation research with a discipline-specific representative sample to appropriately affect workforce development and sustainability through an empirically-based model.

Prishtina, 21 February 2004 – Kosova Sot reports that the confusion between the Kosovo Government and UNMIK over the constant turmoil in the Kosovo Trust Agency (KTA) is keeping the process of privatization hostage.
Kosova Sot quotes its sources as saying that UNMIK chief Harri Holkeri is contacting the UN Legal Office in New York and legal experts in UNMIK and KTA, with the aim of finding a solution to the fate of the KTA Director Marie Fucci. ‘The SRSG would most probably dismiss Fucci on the basis of instructions from New York because the Kosovo Government is persistent in its demands and will not give ground. It is Lambsdorff who is protecting Fucci because he fears that it would be his turn after the latter goes.’
The same source told the paper that the Fucci issue would be resolved in the next couple of days and added that it was not known if local representatives will also demand the resignation of UNMIK Pillar IV head Nikolaus Lambsdorff.
Kosova Sot claims that Fucci’s background, i.e. her career in other countries, has not been so successful and that the processes of privatization led by her has failed to produce results.
The paper ends by quoting reliable sources who say that the two KTA deputy directors, Sazborsky and Shala would hand in to UNMIK Pillar IV head Lambsdorff a written request for Fucci’s resignation.

Rex Reynolds was 89
Rex Reynolds, former president of the Institute of the Clerk of Works (ICW), has died at the age of 89.
Reynolds qualified as a bricklayer, contract foreman and area building manager for Bath city council and became the ICW’s youngest member in 1954, before becoming its president six years later, again the youngest person to hold the position.
He was clerk of works for a number of projects including the refurbishment of reservoirs and ground works at Windsor Great Park, shops and office on London’s Oxford Street and a revamp of Duke Hall in the Royal Academy of Music.
In 1970 he founded his own construction firm, Reynolds and Hawkins, based in Clerkenwell, central London, and employing 60 people.
Nine years later, he was made a member of the Worshipful Company of Glovers and granted the Freedom of the City of London, permitting him to drive sheep over London Bridge, a right he fulfilled in 2014, the same year he was presented with the ICW’s Lifetime Achievement Award for 60 years’ service in the organisation.

While the water came down hard three times Saturday a dispatcher at the Wood County 911 said there were only a few accidents and reports of flooding in some areas.
“There were three accidents on Interstate 77 most likely from hydroplaning. They were minor accidents and no injuries,” he said. “There were reports of street flooding since the sudden heavy downpours overwhelmed the storm water drains.”
There was one area where high water came not only from the rain but from a water line break near the intersection of Camden Avenue and Division Street in south Parkersburg.
Approaching storms around 5:30 p.m. forced the closing of carnival rides at the West Virginia Interstate Fair and Exposition near Mineral Wells.
As of 10:15 p.m. Saturday, Mon Power reported there were 242 power outages reported in the Wood County service area with scattered outrages in Parkersburg and Vienna. Mon Power was also reporting several outages along the U.S. 50 Corridor to the Maryland border.
In the Mid-Ohio Valley the utility reported there were less than five outages in Roane and Pleasants counties, 396 in Ritchie, 188 in Doddridge, 173 in Gilmer, 41 in Calhoun and 36 in Wirt.
More rain was expected overnight and throughout today. Heavy rains and wet soils across the area could produce flash flooding along small streams, creeks, low spots and poor drainage areas, the NWS reported.
Forecasters said there is a chance of showers and thunderstorms today. Some of the storms could produce heavy rainfall. It will be mostly cloudy, with a high near 88 with southwest winds around 8 mph. The chance of precipitation is 40 percent. New rainfall amounts may be between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
Tonight there is a chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly before 10 p.m., the NWS reported. It will be mostly cloudy, with a low around 69 with west winds around 5 m.p.h. becoming calm in the evening. The chance of precipitation is 30 percent.
There is a chance of more showers and storms on Monday with highs in the mid 80s.

Couldn’t get to the main road today so I’m here for one more night.
My daughter and I hiked up to the top of a butte this evening and I took a lot of pics with my new camera phone purchased especially for this occasion. I’ll try to upload them. Right now, I’m watching the sun set in the west behind dark clouds. A herd of pronghorn antelope walks across the pasture right outside my window. A pair of sandhill cranes fly across the creek. Calves kick up their heels for joy and gallop up and down the steep hills on awkwardly long legs, and your heart warms and you smile. The newborn calf found in a snowdrift at three in the morning looks as if he may survive after all. A good day.


LeBron James joins campaign to get Jordan Henderson on FIFA 16 UK cover
- LeBron James posts message of support for Jordan Henderson
- NBA star has given his vote to Henderson to appear on FIFA 16 cover
- Fans are able to vote who they want on the cover alongside Lionel Messi
- James became a minority stakeholder in Liverpool in 2011
Jordan Henderson's campaign to get his face on the FIFA 16 cover has received a major boost with news that LeBron James is on board.
The basketball superstar showed his support for the Liverpool midfielder to join Lionel Messi on the UK cover of the video game in a post on Facebook.
Fans are able to vote, from a shortlist of four players, who they want to see on the cover of the game to be released later this year.

Henderson is one of four candidates for the UK cover along with Manchester City's Sergio Aguero, Tottenham striker Harry Kane and Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
'Shoutout to my LFC family Jordan Henderson, you got my vote!!! James Gang always reps LFC on the virtual pitch #YNWA #VoteHenderson #IPROMISE #StriveForGreatness,' James wrote in a Facebook post for a 21million followers.
James is the biggest name in American sport, and having his support will do Henderson's campaign no harm.

James became a minority stakeholder in Liverpool as part of his involvement with Fenway Sports Group
The 30-year-old, who has won two NBA titles and is a four-time MVP, is already considered one of the best to ever play in the game.
As part of his involvement with the Fenway Sports Group, James became a minority stakeholder in Liverpool in 2011 and has visited Merseyside.
With James' support, Henderson may just have stolen a march on Aguero, Courtois and Kane but only time will tell if it is enough to get the Liverpool midfielder on the cover.

There’s no avoiding the sun. It’s everywhere you look…everywhere you go. It shows up outside your window every morning. In fact, it probably rises before you do. It hangs around all day…following you…waiting for you…
And, this time of year, it stays up pretty late. Hovering overhead, the sun always seems to have you in its sights…radiating heat, providing light, and showering you with its spectacular rays.
We’re obviously having some fun here, but the truth is the sun is incredibly important for a variety of reasons. We won’t go into detail here…you can get that info in science class. But it’s a fact that without the sun and its many benefits, there would be no life on Earth. We would not exist. So the sun and its rays deserve our praise.
However, the sun also has the potential to be extremely dangerous, so it’s also worth us respect. It has been written that fear is the beginning of wisdom. Well, there’s definitely some truth to that statement, but we’re not interested in scaring anybody or causing panic. But we absolutely do want to educate about both the risks and rewards of this popular star. After all, it has also been written that knowledge is power.
So let’s take a look at a few common questions and perceptions about the sun. We’ll break them down, provide the real facts and hopefully help arm you with the information necessary to protect yourself.
Do you still have to wear men’s sunscreen if you’re going to be in a shady area?
Most people believe that seeking shelter from the sun’s rays under a tree or even under an umbrella will protect you. While this obviously reduces your sun exposure, it absolutely does not put you in the clear.
First, the sun’s rays are still able to penetrate openings between tree branches and batches of leaves, just as they are able to seep through the umbrella’s canopy fabric. Even clothing does not offer 100% protection from the sun.
Also, the sun will find you even when hunkered down in the shade because its rays bounce or reflect off items and other immediate surroundings and are redirected toward you. This opens your skin up to sun exposure and makes it vulnerable to the damage caused by ultraviolet rays.
So, yes, being in the shade on a sunny day is better than being in direct sunlight; but, no, it does not mean you are not at risk of sun damage or that you shouldn’t wear men’s sunscreen.
Are people who tan easily without burning still susceptible to sun damage and skin cancer?
Absolutely, yes. There is a strong belief that individuals with fair skin that tend to burn easily are at greater risk of developing skin cancer and suffering from other effects of sun exposure, and there is some data to support that. However, those with golden tans are very much at risk as well.
Our skin changes color — whether it be red, tan, or any shade in between — as a result of sun exposure because the sun’s UVB ultraviolet rays alters our body’s DNA. The ensuing cell abnormalities are what ultimately lead to the formation of skin cancer and other damage.
So, yes, while those “Hollywood” tans look fabulous, they are not a sign of good health and there very well could be trouble brewing.
Does the SPF number on the men’s sunscreen bottle represent the percentage of ultraviolet rays that it blocks?
This one sounds good and seems like it could be true but, unfortunately, it’s not.
There are sunscreens on the market with sun protection factor ratings of 100, but they do not block 100% of the sun’s rays. There are no sunscreens or other forms of skin protectants that successfully block all ultraviolet rays. Dermatologists recommend wearing men’s sunscreen with an SPF of 30 to 50 when spending time in the sun. A men’s sunscreen with a 50 SPF actually blocks 98% of the sun’s harmful rays. That’s certainly a great form of protection but it’s not 100%.
Products with an SPF higher than 50 may offer even more protection, but the difference is negligible and immeasurable. Jacket sunscreen has an SPF of 50+, which should bring great comfort knowing that you are receiving maximum protection.
Are there really certain ingredients used in men’s sunscreen that actually do more harm than good?
This is a great question but unlike the others, it’s not a simple “yes” or “no” answer. An individual wearing a sunscreen, regardless of its contents, will have greater protection against the sun’s rays and the harm they have the potential to cause than an individual not wearing any men’s sunscreen.
However, there are certainly some chemicals that are used in many brands of men’s sunscreen that have been shown to have toxic properties, causing damage to the skin and, in some cases, possibly being linked to cancer.
So, the answer? No matter what the ingredients are in a particular men’s sunscreen, the product will provide protection from the sun. So that is not more harm than good. But some ingredients have the ability to cause other serious health concerns, so products made with those toxins should be avoided, as they can do more harm than good.
Fear not, there is a simple solution to this not-so-simple situation. Use men’s sunscreens that are made with natural, non-toxic ingredients. They may be few and far between, but they do exist. In fact, Jacket men’s sunscreen is on the list. Don’t forget your Jacket!
Is it true that sunburns only occur during the middle or hottest part of the day?
This is such a common mistake, and the answer is a definite “no.” As a rule of thumb, if you can see the sun, it can see you. And if it can see you, its rays are reaching you and affecting your skin.
In fact, the sun can see you even when you can’t see it. Don’t be fooled into thinking your safe on cloudy days. The truth is, about 80% of ultraviolet rays pass through clouds, which means they are reaching you.
So, while it’s true that the sun may be its strongest during mid-day hours, typically 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., you can absolutely suffer sun damage, including sunburns, earlier and later in the day.

Shibumi trek -2
Write up and Photos : by Poornima Travelling Sukumar
Volunteer at buDa folklore
| Our journey for the beach trek began. We reached an estuary.|
Where the river meets the ocean. “A river seems a magic thing. A magic, moving, living part of the very earth itself, and when it meets the ocean...it is breathtaking."
Just seeing an estuary, and the lives of fishermen on the banks of the river, and the beach side is a great learning experience.
“The most important reason for going from one place to another is to see what's in between, and they took great pleasure in doing just that"
Our trek started from the the river Aghanashini where it merges into the mighty Arabian sea .
Most of us, I suppose, are a little nervous of the sea. No matter what its smiles may be, we doubt its friendship. ~H.M. Tomlinson
...Passing through rocky paths can be quite forgotten once you see that the rest of the path is grass. It was such an experience to be at the edge of the hills where the waves were roaring and we could see the endless horizon!
Of course! what is a beach trek without getting into the water! “A fragrant breeze wandered up from the quiet sea, trailed along the beach, and drifted back to the sea again, wondering where to go next. On a mad impulse it went up to the beach again. It drifted back to sea.”
we were headed to Half moon beach.
We hitch hiked boats from Half moon beach, to reach our final destination Kudle Beach. The water was so welcoming and the sands were cold...
There is nothing more soothing than watching the ocean touch the sky, and the grandest of them all... a sunset.
“I spent uncounted hours sitting at the bow looking at the water and the sky, studying each wave, different from the last, seeing how it caught the light, the air, the wind; watching patterns, the sweep of it all, and letting it take me."
Reminiscing about the all the simplicity. the basics of being human.
The shack we lived in had a beautiful wall painting, which narrated the mythological story about how Gokarna became an important place.
Last but not the least... the beach trek, was more of an experiential learning. We spoke about how it is essential to walk through these places, and feel the sea, and a sense of belonging in the hands of nature. How small we are in front of mother nature.
“It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end.” ― Ursula K. Le Guin

A ban on one-use plastic bags may be in the works for Hopewell Borough under an ordinance that was introduced by the Borough Council earlier this month.
The ordinance, which would prohibit borough businesses from handing out single-use plastic bags to their customers, is up for a public hearing and final action at the Sept. 6 council meeting.
“The intent of this ordinance is to adopt regulations relating to and limiting the use of single-use carryout plastic bags by businesses in the Borough of Hopewell,” the ordinance states. “The regulations are intended as necessary and proper steps by the borough to incentivize the use of reusable bags at businesses.”
Businesses and stores would be permitted to hand out paper bags, which can be recycled, or they may make reusable bags available to customers – either for sale or for free.
Customers would be able to bring their own bags, or carry out items they purchased without a bag, according to the ordinance. Store owners would be encouraged to promote reusable bags and to post signs encouraging their use, as well as other informational material.
Meanwhile, a state bill that would impose a fee on each plastic bag and paper bag in an effort to discourage their use is waiting for Gov. Phil Murphy’s signature. The new law would apply to drug stores, supermarkets and retail stores of at least 2,000 square feet.
“We are trying to get ahead and ban the bags,” Mayor Paul Anzano said of Hopewell Borough’s proposed ordinance.
But Councilman Sky Morehouse had questions about the ordinance. He objected to it because there is no educational component to it.
Morehouse said he carries a reusable bag when he goes grocery shopping, but said it is more difficult when someone stops at a convenience store.
That is why Morehouse wants a placard or poster near the cash register that would ask customers to think about it before they are handed a plastic bag. The clerk should ask the customer whether he or she wants a plastic bag.
Lisa Wolff, the executive director of the Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space, told council members she supports the proposed ordinance.
“I am excited. I like this (proposed ordnance) very much,” Wolff said, adding that she agreed that an educational component should be part of the ordinance and regulations.

Bo quickly became an integral part of life at the White House.
He often joined the president in the Oval Office.
And helped him let loose during breaks between meetings.
Every year at Christmas, the Obamas would have decorations inspired by Bo, like a four-foot statue made of 40,000 pipe cleaners.
Bo was not camera shy, posing for everything from documentary film shoots ...
... to Easter-themed videotaping sessions.
He often helped the family greet visitors and was known for his gentleness with children.
Bo's favorite activities included playing on the White House lawn and going on walks, according to his official White House baseball card.
Bo also joined the Obamas on trips outside of the White House. He traveled everywhere from PetSmart in the presidential limo ...
... to Hawaii on Air Force One.
"He tolerated all the fuss that came with being in the White House," Michelle Obama wrote in an Instagram post on May 8 announcing his death. "He was exactly what we needed and more than we ever expected. We will miss him dearly."

Intertextuality as a politeness strategy : A qualitative study of the use and function of intertextuality in the television series Suits
Abstract: This paper investigates the use and function of intertextuality in the television series Suits, and examines the interplay between intertextuality and politeness. Intertextuality allows a text to incorporate other texts and to draw upon connotations that belong to those texts. Politeness theory offers a tool to analyse the pragmatic use of language in social interaction. Analysing occurrences of intertextuality from the first episode of the television series, the paper explores in what ways the fictional characters use intertextuality and for what purposes. It explores if, and how, intertextuality can be used as a politeness strategy. Findings suggest that intertextuality is used for three main purposes, and functions as characterisation and as a means to establish and/or maintain social relations. Detailed analyses of instances of intertextuality propose that intertextuality can be used as a politeness theory, but only in certain ways. The paper discusses these findings and offers a possible explanation for why intertextuality is only used in this restricted way.

There has never been an election campaign like the one on which we are now embarked. There's a weird fin-de-siecle glow in the air, a sense of things coming unstuck, old certainties uprooted. Policies, parties, institutions, everything is in flux, to a degree I cannot recall any precedent for.
There has never been an election campaign like the one on which we are now embarked. There’s a weird fin-de-siecle glow in the air, a sense of things coming unstuck, old certainties uprooted. Policies, parties, institutions, everything is in flux, to a degree I cannot recall any precedent for.
The 1988 election was an important one, but it was in most respects a conventional campaign, fought by conventional means, with the Liberals and the Conservatives duking it out as they always had. The 1984 and 1993 elections, dramatic as they were in result, were likewise conventional in every other respect; neither proved to be quite the realignments expected. Within a few years of their supposed extinctions, both the Liberals and the Conservatives were back in contention. I suppose one of the things we will find out this fall is whether 2011 was the realignment it was declared to be.
Why do I say this campaign is unique? Consider three factors. One is the sheer length of the campaign, the first to be held under the fixed election date law, or rather the first to adhere to it. Leave aside the formal writ period, itself potentially of unusual length (there are rumours of a mid-August call, meaning a campaign of more than 60 days – the first of such length since the 1970s). The real campaign, it is widely acknowledged, is already under way, and has been since at least the start of the year.
As I’ve written before, the fruits of this are already evident, in the form of a sustained run of serious policy proposals from all three major parties, with more presumably to follow, all to be subjected to much lengthier scrutiny and debate than would be possible in any previous campaign, with the notable exception of 1988, which was more or less a referendum on free trade. This will be the policy campaign to beat all policy campaigns.
If that were not already true, a second factor assures it: the debates. In the four decades after their first appearance, these followed roughly the same script, with minor variations. A consortium of television networks organized and broadcast them. There were typically one in each official language, with all the leaders present and a variety of topics covered. Millions of people watched, sometimes with decisive results.
This time, all those precepts have been overturned. With the Conservative decision to pull out of the consortium process, and the wild scramble that followed, the debates have multiplied and mutated. At this point no one quite knows quite how many there will be, or which leaders will turn up: it will depend, one presumes, on where they are at in the polls. But based on commitments made to date, it appears there will be at least five, with whole debates given over to the economy and foreign policy. This, too, is unprecedented – though whether the debates will prove the same draw, without
guaranteed all-network coverage, is another unknown. Last, there is the matter of the nature of the race. No one can tell, of course, where the parties will be in the polls four months from now. But as things stand, with all three of the main national parties level at roughly 30 per cent in popular support, give or take a couple of percentage points, it is shaping up to be, at least at the start, a genuinely three-way race. It is literally impossible to rule out any one of the three parties – or a combination – forming a government. We’ve never seen that before, either. (No, not even in 1988 – the New Democratic Party’s brief run atop the polls had ended months before.)
Campaigns matter, especially campaigns of this length, and we can expect at least a couple more waves, like the one that carried the NDP to its recent lead in the polls, between now and election day. Such volatility is not new – it’s been building for some decades – but there’s reason to think there may be a particularly high degree of movement this time, at least between the NDP and the Liberals, as anti-Conservative voters try to decide which party is best placed to defeat them.
The danger of a bandwagon effect forming means that each party will have to be prepared to make dramatic pitches for support, should they find themselves falling behind: witness, for example, the democratic reform package the Liberals released this week. So the kind of cautious incrementalism we might have expected from previous campaigns seems unlikely this time. Moreover, with all three parties fighting, to some extent, on two fronts (yes, there are voters who switch between the Conservatives and the NDP), whole new playbooks will have to be written.
Of course, to call it a threeway race conceals yet another unusual aspect of this campaign. Outside of recessions, majority governments do not often lose elections. The last time a government in possession of a majority was driven from office when unemployment was below seven per cent was in 1957. Yet here the Conservatives are, bumping along at 30 per cent or less in the polls, as they have been for most of the last two years. Worse, just five per cent of voters rate the Conservatives as their second choice, meaning the Tories’ universe of available voters is just 35 per cent, versus 45 to 50 per cent for their two rivals.
And if they lose? If they win anything less than a majority? Then one or both of the other two form a government, both pledged for the first time to fundamental changes in the electoral system that could conceivably make the Tories unelectable – or at the least, lead to wholesale changes in the political landscape. There’s never been another election like it. There may never be another like it afterward.

Healthy Sleep Pillows: 6 All-Natural and Non-Toxic Options
On the lookout for an eco-friendly pillow? We’ve heard a lot about buckwheat and organic wool pillows, but reviews vary depending on what type of sleeper the reviewer is (stomach, back, side) and how firm they like their pillow. Everyone’s different. So how to choose! First, you need to know the options and what they’re best for:
1. Latex: made of 100% latex, which is naturally hypoallergenic and resists dust mites. Available in standard, queen and king sizes.
- Best For: Side and stomach sleepers. Side sleepers should stick to the contoured shape, as the pillow’s firmness helps support the neck and keep the spine aligned. Stomach sleepers should go for the soap shape, which tends to be softer and flatter.
- Care: Hand-wash the latex in warm water with mild soap, blot with a towel, and air dry. Case can be machine-washed.
- Average price: $69-$89
2. Buckwheat: as covered in this review by Emily, buckwheat pillows are filled with buckwheat hulls and, if you’re used to fluffy pillows, may take a bit of time to get used to. Buckwheat is also great for air circulation and keeping your head cool, especially in warmer weather. Look for ones with an organic wool outer layer to muffle the ‘crunchy’ sound.
- Best For: All types. A zipper lets you fill or remove the hulls to your desired thickness. You could even make your own.
- Care: Rinse the hulls in cool water, drain, and air dry. Machine wash the case.
- Average price: $75
3. Kapok: is a silky fiber harvested from ceiba trees (a tropical tree). After the ripe pods of the tree are harvested, the seeds are removed and the fluffy fiber is then thoroughly cleaned and dried. It is 8 times lighter than cotton and feels very much like down (without the accompanying allergies).
- Best For: Back sleepers. This material is very fluffy and offers minimal resistance.
- Care: Machine wash gentle cycle in warm water. Cool dry with tennis balls for fluffing.
- Average price: $50
4. Organic Wool: A pure wool pillow is great for regulating temperature and moisture as the wool fibers naturally wick moisture away from your face so you remain at an even temp all night. Wool is also naturally mold, mildew, and fire-resistant.
- Best For: Side sleepers, due to the firmness of the wool, although you can find differing degrees of firmness.
- Care: Spot clean with water and vinegar. Air outside in the sun or fluff in a dryer with tennis balls to freshen.
- Average price: $70
5. Organic Cotton: organic cotton pillows are made without perfumes, formaldehyde, or dyes, are very soft and will compress over time.
- Best For: Stomach sleepers, because you can squish it.
- Care: Cotton will shrink if you wash it, so wash in cool water on a gentle cycle, or spot clean with water and vinegar.
- Average price: $45
6. Millet: Similar in performance to a buckwheat pillow, the hulls from millet are smaller and circular, making for a smoother and softer pillow (also less noisy) than a buckwheat pillow.
- Best For: Side or stomach sleepers
- Care: Rinse hulls in cool water, drain, and air dry. Machine wash case.
- Average price: $70

A federal judge on Friday declined the Utah Republican Party’s request to block the state’s new method for nominating political candidates, finding that the law doesn’t unfairly infringe on the party’s rights. “At this point there will be no injunction against the enforcement of Senate Bill 54,” U.S. District Judge David Nuffer ruled from the bench after hearing nearly five hours of argument, most of it from the attorney representing the Utah GOP. Later, Nuffer said, the party may be able to show it might be harmed by the law, but now there are paths it could take where it wouldn’t be burdened and it would be premature to block the law. The trial on the party’s legal challenge will still go forward and the judge has said he hopes to have the case resolved early next year.
The ruling leaves the party with a stark choice: Change its bylaws to comply with the law when delegates meet at the state party convention in August or face the prospect of not having any Republican candidates on the ballot in 2016.
State GOP Chairman James Evans said the party will consider the changes, but the decision will ultimately be up to the delegates. In a statement to the court, Evans argued the party doesn’t have enough time to adopt the required changes.
“I can state with certainty that the party cannot adopt the monumental amendments required to alter the basic structure and function of the party to make it consistent with Senate Bill 54’s requirements in time to meet the deadlines imposed,” he said.

6 billion, 18 crores and 50 is so difficult to speak this number, then seeing this as a bill will blow the senses of the good but this has actually happened in PM Modi’s parliamentary constituency Varanasi. On one hand, Uttar Pradesh nickel electricity prices have become expensive, which has greatly affected the budget of consumers.
In such a situation, a day after the increase in the price of electricity, a major negligence case of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s parliamentary constituency Varanasi Electricity Department has come to light, where an electricity bill of Rs 618.5 crore has been sent. An electricity bill of about 6 billion 18 crores 51 lakh has been sent to a private school in Vinayaka area of Varanasi.
This case is of Varanasi district. This bill has been sent to a private school. Not only this, but the decree has also been issued to cut the connection till September 7 for not depositing electricity bill. In fact, this school of a private school of Varanasi is located in Vinayaka area of the city. After seeing the electricity bill, the management of the school was very surprised.
The amount of electricity bill is so much for the management of the school that it cannot fill this electricity bill. Not only this, it is impossible for anyone to pay such a huge bill. The amount of payment of electricity bill is 618.5 crores. When the school management approached the electricity department about this, they raised their hands. Despite circling for several days, the school has not received any relief so far.
On the other hand, due to the drive to cut the electricity connection of the remaining connection holders of the electricity department, there is a fear of disconnection of the school because the date of submission of the electricity bill is 7 September. Now the department is silent on this and no one understands how the bill of a normal school can be so huge.
According to the school coordinator Yogendra Mishra, he has deposited all the previous electricity bills, but after that one month’s bill is surprising. Yogendra Mishra says that he had complained about this electricity bill in the office of the Managing Director of Purvanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam. But there they were sent back after being told that there was a software flaw. At the same time, despite all efforts about this negligence of the electricity department, their officials are avoiding speaking anything.
Yogendra Mishra says that he has been going round the electricity department for the last several days to fix the electricity bill, but he did not get anything other than assurance. Officials also deposited one and a half rupees 9 and a half rupees in the name of correction, but even after that the bill of 6 billion has come and now in the event of not depositing this electricity bill, the date of disconnection is September 7 and as The date is getting closer, as the school worries are increasing.

I recently talked to a lawyer at a large Toronto law firm who was happily using voice recognition software to draft initial versions of long documents and to give voice commands to his computer.
Voice recognition technology has been around for a long time – my perception was that it wasn’t ready for prime time. Curious to see the vendor’s view of the software, I paid a quick visit to the website for Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
Has this technology really advanced to the point that it’s ready for wider adoption? . . . [more]

On Sunday, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has cate his vote in nationwide local polls, which recorded around 100 percent turnout claimed for every ballot held in the state.
Given the absence of any fight among candidates, local elections in North Korea are considered important as a political ritual, which permits the authorities to claim a popular mandate while reinforcing loyalty to his regime.
Only those overseas “on foreign tour or working in oceans” were unable to cast their vote, reported KCNA, adding that even “voters troubled with aging or illness cast their ballots into mobile ballot boxes.”
North Korea hold local polls every 4-years to elect representatives to provincial, county, and city assemblies. The 99 percent of voters in the de facto single-party state participates in the elections and 99 percent of them cast “yes” votes for uncontested contestants.
The authority touts the high turnover as an instance of its “single-minded unit” to praise the “Korean-style people-centered socialism.”
President Kim has visited a polling state in Hamgyong Province and cast a vote for two candidates- Jong Song Sik and Ju Song – runs for county assemblies in the region, said KCNA.
The North Korean leader “warmly encouraged them to become faithful servants of the people by fulfilling their duties so as to live up to the anticipation of the people, being aware of being the representatives of the people,” added KCNA.
Kim Jong-un himself ran in 2014 for the rubber-stamp legislature, which is popular as the Supreme People’s Assembly, directing a perfect turnout with 100 percent of votes in his favor.

Operation Manna was the codeword for a Second World War operation by the British and Greek forces in Greece in mid-October 1944, following the gradual withdrawal of the German occupying forces from the country.
The operation included an airborne element, which was conducted by the British 2nd Independent Parachute Brigade on 12 October, when elements of the 4th Parachute Battalion parachuted onto the Megara airfield 28 miles (45 km) outside of Athens. The prevailing weather conditions forced the abandonment of further parachute operations and it was not until 14 October that the rest of the brigade, less the 5th Parachute Battalion, arrived. After landing, the 4th and 6th Parachute Battalions marched on Athens. On 16 October, the 5th Battalion and the brigade's glider-borne element arrived.
The British and Free Greek navies transported British and Greek troops, as well as the Greek government in exile, to Athens.

Taiwan has banned the sale and consumption of cat and dog meat, a departure from a controversial practice that is common among its Asian neighbours.
The island's legislature has amended the Animal Protection Act, imposing steeper fines and lengthier punishments for acts related to animal cruelty.
These include a fine of 50,000 to 250,000 new Taiwan dollars (about $2000 to $10,500) for anyone caught selling or consuming cat and dog meat, or any other products that contain parts of the animals, Taiwan's Central News Agency reported.
The government will publicise the names and pictures of offenders.
Animal-cruelty acts are now punishable by up to two years in prison and a fine of 200,000 to 2 million new Taiwan dollars, the Central News Agency reported. Previously, the maximum punishment was one year in prison and up to 1 million new Taiwan dollars in fines.
The amendments to the Animal Protection Act, enacted in 1998, come at a time of heightened awareness about animal cruelty in the country.
Taiwan's President, Tsai Ing-wen, adopted three retired guide dogs in October, the Central News Agency reported. She also has two cats.
However, dog meat is still consumed widely in many Asian countries, specifically China, South Korea, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, the Philippines and northern India, Humane Society International said.
The practice also exists in parts of Africa and remote areas of Switzerland.
Perhaps the most controversial is China's dog-eating festival in the town of Yulin, where thousands of canines are slaughtered annually. The event has been bombarded with petitions and online campaigns in recent years.
In 2016, Chinese and international animal rights activists presented a petition with 11 million signatures to protest against the dog-meat festival, The Washington Post reported. They say many of the dogs were either stolen or found astray, crammed in small cages and beaten to death in slaughterhouses.
China is thought to have killed more than 10 million of the roughly 30 million dogs slaughtered every year worldwide, Humane Society International says. Four million cats are killed in the country every year.
In South Korea, where dogs are farmed for human consumption, about 2 million are kept in about 17,000 facilities, and many are killed by electrocution, according to the organisation.
The country's law on the legality of the dog-meat trade remains ambiguous, according to the Animal Welfare Institute, and government efforts to put an end to it have been halfhearted.
However, consuming dogs has become increasingly controversial and frowned upon in Asia.
A growing number of Chinese, particularly in middle-class and urban areas, lean more towards owning the animals as pets.
More than 800 dogs have also been rescued from animal farms in South Korea, according to Humane Society International. The animals have been flown to shelters in the United States. Seven dog-meat farms have been shut down.
Humane Society International said it has provided money and counselling to farmers who have got out of the dog-meat industry.
In 2013, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Laos struck a deal to stop the trafficking of dogs for their meat, Time magazine reported.
In the Philippines, Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala has called for the eradication of the country's thriving dog-meat industry. Alcala signed a directive in January 2016 outlining a campaign to end dog-meat trade by 2020. Part of the plan is to increase public awareness about the health hazards of eating canine meat and focus the government crackdown on areas where the practice remains rampant.
Killing and selling dogs for meat has been banned in the capital, Manila, for more than 30 years. A nationwide ban was enacted in 1998. The Anti-Rabies Act, passed in 2007, imposes more penalties and punishments for trading dogs for meat. But Alcala acknowledged that officials have fallen short in enforcing those laws.
"While the public may be aware of the prohibition on the trade of dogs for their meat and the underlying and accompanying atrocity involved in the treatment and handling of dogs, the magnitude of effects on the menace of eating of dog meat considering its health hazards has been downplayed, if not ignored," according to the directive.
In a statement praising the Taiwanese legislature's recent action, Humane Society International said the changes to the law should send a message to mainland China and other countries where consuming dog meat remains legal.
"Taiwan's legislature has taken a monumental step in ending the dog-meat trade," the organisation said. "Most people in Asian countries do not eat dog and cat, and most find the cruel and often crime-fuelled trade appalling."
The practice is limited but does exist in the United States, Humane Society International said. But legislation introduced last month, the Dog and Cat Meat Trade Prohibition Act, would ban the killing and selling of cats and dogs for human consumption in the country.

text: Whether you’re a fan of horror films or not, you’ve probably heard of the 2013 motion picture, “The Conjuring.” This film, starring Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson, struck such a chord with viewers that it spawned a franchise of related films like The Conjuring sequels, The Nun, Annabelle, and The Curse of La Llorona. But the initial movie was inspired by real-life events, the roughly decade-long hauntings of the Perron family that started the moment they moved into the Arnold Estate in 1970, now called “The Farm on Round Top Road” in Harrisville, Rhode Island. The colonial farmhouse, built circa 1736, would be home to 9 generations of families, including the Perrons. It seems some of the residents would never be able to leave, and some new and terrifying entities would make an unwelcome appearance during the Perron occupancy. While a few of the spirits were viciously malevolent, some were benevolent, and Andrea Perron, the eldest daughter, comprehensively chronicled the entire experience in a three-volume set of books titled House of Darkness House of Light: The True Story. While Andrea loved the cinematic adaptation of her family’s story in the film, she also realizes that a movie has its own set of rules for narrative compression. Its purpose is to entertain efficiently, and therefore was only “one percent of one percent of what actually happened at the farm.” Also, the famous paranormal investigative couple, Ed and Lorraine Warren were only a lesser element to the overall story. So what were some of the more frightening yet fascinating occurrences that happened to the Perrons at clearly one of the most active haunted houses still in existence that most of us have never heard? Join us tonight for part one of our examination of the true story behind “The Conjuring.” Visit our website for a whole lot more information on this website, and seriously, we’re talking a LOT more.

The P. graveolens species, native to southern Africa, was introduced to England in 1774 and has long been used to produce geranium oil. At least eight species of sweet-scented geraniums were introduced to America from southern Africa between 1770 and 1820. Rose, nutmeg, and oak-leaf geraniums were among the earliest imports. Jean Skipwith of Prestwould in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, listed “rose geranium” among her houseplants in papers that have been dated between 1785 and 1805. This geranium lends a lovely rose scent to potpourri and the edible leaves can be used in jams, jellies, cakes, puddings and more.
Rose Geranium arrives in a 2.5” pot.
