Jonathan Wallis has written a study of Propertius 3 brimming with interpretations that are rooted in close textual readings, an awareness of the rich bibliographical and textual tradition of Propertius’ text, and a concentrated attention to the poet’s engagement with Horace and Vergil and introspection (Wallis’s word) of his own body of work. Anyone interested in the study of the Roman poetry book, Latin poetry, or Propertius specifically will find much to consider in these pages.
Wallis opens the volume with a succinct introduction that offers a review of bibliography, an overview of the book’s structure, and a brief textual note. He bases his analysis on Fedeli’s 1984 Teubner with a recusatio concerning Heyworth’s OCT: “it will take some time longer for the editorial decisions it makes to be assessed fully by Propertian scholars” (p. 20). Throughout the book, Wallis makes judicious use of footnotes to discuss important points of difference and agreement with Heyworth.
Wallis begins his analysis of Propertius’ thematic, poetic, and societal interests with his understanding of the book’s structure. “The current study proposes a new way of reading the arrangement of poems in Book 3—as a broad structure consisting of three series of eight poems” (p. 5). The three narratives Wallis identifies are 3.1-8, 9-16, 17-24, and he suggests that each narrative begins with a programmatic elegy that underscores the major theme explored in the sequence. Thus, 3.1-8 show Propertius re-engaging with a Latin poetic tradition that spans Ennius, Horace, Vergil, and his own elegies. 3.9-16 explore a series of prominent Augustan themes. Finally, 3.17-24 explore Propertius’ renewed confidence in himself to write about the important issues of his age. Regrettably, for a single-book monograph, several poems (4, 5, 7, 14, 19, and 21) are left undiscussed or mentioned merely in passing.
Chapter 1, “Turning Elegy Upside Down: Propertius 3.1-3,” suggests that the first three poems are a direct response to contemporary literary developments: “Propertius Book 3 appears hot on the heels of Horace’s Odes 1-3, and with Virgil’s Aeneid looming on the literary horizon” (p. 22). In 3.1 Propertius announces his new elegiac project by borrowing Horace’s claim of being a sacerdos ( Odes 3.1.3) in the same place as his predecessor (last word of the third line of the first poem in the third book)1 along with triumphal language taken from Vergil’s Georgics. This poem develops the potential of elegy for political commentary while 3.2 engages with Horace’s lyrics and explores elegy’s erotic dimensions. Finally, 3.3 takes the different themes of the first two poems and places them in alternating focus through the injunction of Calliope that elegists stick to drunken and amorous themes. Wallis raises an interesting idea when he points out that the reader suddenly becomes aware “of how long it has been since elegy has looked as Calliope describes it” (p. 45).
Chapters 2, 4, and 8 unpack the changing representation of fides over the course of the collection. In chapter two, “Seeking Fides in Poets and Poetry” Wallis uncovers a Propertius in 3.6 who simultaneously desires fidelity from his mistress, friends, and go-betweens while he himself does not hesitate to dissimulate. Throughout the second chapter, Wallis usefully imagines a variety of readers. There is the “gullible reader” (p. 46) who reads Propertius on the surface, and there is the “suspicious reader” (p. 49) who questions Propertius in the same way that the poet questions Lygdamus. The “suspicious reader” is a particularly valuable construct because it allows Wallis to discuss the plurality of ways that readers may have encountered ancient texts.2
Chapter 3, “Thematic Experimentation” introduces the second sequence (poems 9-16) by focusing on 9-11. The first of these introduces Maecenas as both “an intervening outsider” and “an internalized ‘elegiac’ figure” (p. 64). In this poem, Propertius offers an explanation of his poetic interests (not epic) to a figure who has become an important symbolic addressee for Latin poets, especially Horace and Vergil. For Propertius to address him, after these others have already done so, means that “Maecenas also represents an internal marker of a dialogue between poets about literary development itself” (p. 69). This identification of Maecenas with both metapoetic reflection and societal observation keenly underscores the strategies at play in Propertius’ third book. This chapter also contains an important reflection on the reception of the Georgics in the late 20s BCE. Wallis next offers a reading of 3.10 (a genethliakon to Cynthia), about which he says, “the announcement of a ‘birthday’ provides an ideal opportunity to reflect on the past while looking to the future… 3.10 becomes a poem that remembers the birth of Cynthian verse as much as that of Cynthia herself. Mostly, Cynthia’s birthday becomes a device through which Propertius can reflect upon his own third anniversary as a poet” (p. 76). Propertius’ Cleopatra poem, 3.11, ends the chapter where “Propertius offers a paradoxical celebration both of his submission to his mistress and of Octavian’s victory at Actium (p. 83). This analysis forms a crucial strand in Wallis’ argument that Book 3 contains a variety of poems that weave the poet’s personal erotic experience together with the theme of imperialism.
Chapter 4 expands upon the theme of fides in Book 3. “Marriage and the Elegiac Woman,” presents us with a poem (3.12) that honors Aelia Galla as a model wife for her husband Postumus. At the start of this analysis, Wallis references another arrangement of poems when he notes that 3.12 is the middle poem (of 24) and therefore “negotiates the reader’s passage into the second half of the book” (p. 93). (At this point it can feel as if every poem has some structural significance, and I was left wondering what happened to the three-part structure). He argues that by beginning with Galla, Propertius shifts elegy’s focus from the mistress’ infidelity toward the wife’s fidelity. Wallis shows the way in which Propertius places this poem in dialogue with Horace Odes 3.7 and his own 1.11 to establish this new emphasis.
Chapter 5, “Delays and Destinations,” examines 3.16 and the larger theme of travel in book 3. The chapter opens with a nuanced discussion of “middles” as measurements of time and space. This poem returns us to the three-part structure as it concludes the middle set of poems, 9-16. As Wallis observes, “the poem’s metaphorical drive also serves to highlight the transience of ‘middleness’ in subjects as linear as life and poetry” (p. 122). Wallis suggests, via a discussion of membra, that 3.16 expresses a variety of anxieties. In addition to the surface concerns about journeying in general, the poem conflates the threats to a body with the fear of assault on textual bodies after publication. This is a particularly elegant chapter that would work well as a model for close reading in the classroom.
Chapter 6, “A Hymn to Bacchus,” begins the final sequence of eight poems. Wallis reminds the reader that they should read 3.17 as a programmatic poem that introduces a sequence of poems that will “flirt with bringing elegy into alignment with an Augustan mainstream” (p. 133). This chapter features some of Wallis’s most intricate, and enjoyable, intertextual readings, and throughout he carefully explains what he finds pertinent in such connections. Wallis’ discussion of “these resistant Horatian reverberations” is consistently illuminating and a useful consideration of Horace’s importance for Propertius (p. 153). For Wallis, 3.17 is also deeply concerned with Vergil’s Georgics, and he patiently shows that any similarities between the two are deliberate rather than “coincidental,” (p. 157). Wallis ends the chapter with an important consideration of Propertius standing outside the doors of Bacchic temple ( ante fores templi, 3.17.37). He makes the obvious connection to Vergil’s famous temple in Georgics 3 but adds that “at an intertextual level he occupies a position from where—ike all Roman poets who write after Virgil—e will view, interpret and critique the literary edifice that will soon lodge at the heart of the Augustan cultural landscape” (p. 162).
Chapter 7, “In Lament for Marcellus,” treats 3.18 and is one of Wallis’s most successful moments of thinking about how Propertius interacts with his cultural milieu and with himself.3 I found the chapter especially compelling for considering how the poem engages with Aeneid 6: “by sending Marcellus back to the underworld after his death, Propertius returns us to where Virgil had introduced Marcellus before he was born” (p. 182).
Wallis’ trio of chapters on the theme of fides concludes with chapter 8, “Renewing the Elegiac Contract.” In 3.20 Propertius seeks to change his habits and take a new lover with whom he will mark his fides in a foedus (contract). Wallis pairs 3.20 with 3.12 because both feature a husband leaving. When he triangulates these poems with Odes 3.7, he can assert that “Propertius qualifies what had been a (Horatian) idealisation of constancy in 3.12” (p. 196). One of the great pleasures of reading Wallis’s diachronic study is the way he draws attention to the Propertian strategy of presenting the reader with something that feels familiar from other Latin poets and himself before destabilizing such comforts.
Chapter 9, “Breaking up with Cynthia,” investigates the final poem of Propertius’s book, 3.24, which Wallis reads as a single poem. Here the poet is engaged in “an established game of elegiac brinkmanship” in which the reader wonders if the poet will succeed in quitting love elegy (p. 202). Wallis indulges in a welcome “Ovidian Reflection” (p. 209-213) where he shows us an Ovid steeped in Propertius. I would have liked to see a more dynamic reading of a Propertius who may well be reacting to hearing a young Ovid.4
Wallis concludes with a brief epilogue focused on 3.22. The decision to end his book with a poem that is not the end of Propertius’ collection underscores a difficulty of assessing Wallis’ undertaking namely, the importance of his structural argument to his larger claims. Wallis explains his decision as follows “When Propertius reached the end of the twenty- second elegy, Book 3 contained the same number of poems as Book 1…Propertius uses this moment of symmetry to signal ostentatiously that he was wrapping things up” by addressing Tullus, who had last appeared as an addressee in 1.22 (p. 217). Although this is a compelling use of symmetry, nevertheless it, like many of the most compelling points that Wallis makes in other chapters, is not related to the tripartite division he has identified. Wallis’ structural discussions in no way enervate his success in defending his primary thesis about Book 3. I am fully persuaded that Propertius engages with his own material (introspection) and that of Horace and Vergil (engagement) in order to explore the potential of elegy to talk about personal narratives and contemporary public affairs. Occasionally these arguments are bolstered by structural observations, but they neither begin with, nor fully depend upon, the structural argument.
Wallis writes in a lively manner and ends with a succinct and polyglottal bibliography, although references to works after 2013 are rare. The reader will in no way be hindered by any errors in the text.
1. Although he does not use a specific term for this kind of line-counting, others have. Hinds calls it “stichometric intertextuality” (Stephen Hinds, Allusion and Intertext: Dynamics of Appropriation in Roman Poetry (Cambridge: CUP, 1998), 92 n.10). Wills calls it “allusion by line-number” (Jeffrey Wills, Repetition in Latin Poetry: Figures of Allusion. (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1996), 159 n.82). Vergil employs this method in naming Maecenas in the Georgics: 1.2, 2.41, 3.41, 4.2. An elaborate example occurs between Aen. 10.475 (vaginaque cava fulgentem deripit ensem) and Met. 10.475 (pendent nitidum vagina deripit ensem).
2. For a similar use of a suspicious reader, I recommend Stephen Hinds, “Ovid among the Conspiracy Theorists,” in Classical Constructions: Papers in Memory of Don Fowler, Classicist and Epicurean, eds. S. J. Heyworth, P. G. Fowler, S. J. Harrison (Oxford: OUP, 2007), 194-220.
3. In using the word “interacting” I am thinking about Alice König, and Christopher Whitton’s Roman Literature under Nerva, Trajan and Hadrian: Literary Interactions, AD 96-138 reviewed recently in BMCR 2019.02.51.
4. For a recent reflection on the timeline, see Stephen Harrison, “The Chronology of Ovid’s Career,” in Dicite, Pierides: Classical Studies in Honour of Stratis Kyriakides, eds. A. N. Michaelopoulos, S. Papaioannou, and A. Zissos (Newcastle upon Tyne: Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2017) 188-201.

Cognitive Factors: Some Recent Literature.
Ekstrom, Ruth B.
This report is on one aspect of a study that is trying to provide a reference basis for different researchers in their combined efforts to conceptualize and develop a theory and structure of human abilities and temperament. Specifically, the study is directed toward the identification of tests and other instruments that can serve as markers for well established factors. The present report is based on a review of analytical studies in the cognitive domain published in the decade 1963-1973. The first section of this review gives a brief description of different theories and models of cognitive factors. It is followed by a short summary of some of the major issues raised by the research on cognitive factors. Then the current status is described of each of the 24 factors in the 1963 edition of the Kit of Reference Tests for Cognitive Factors. The need to reconceptualize many of the factors in light of research findings is discussed. The final section of the report describes new factors which have appeared in the literature. Recommendations are made for the possible coverage in a revised Kit of Reference Tests such factors as chunking memory, concept formation, figural fluency, integration, memory for order, visual memory, and verbal closure.

The First Bad Man (Paperback)
January 2015 Indie Next List
“Miranda July does not coddle readers; rather, she unapologetically throws them into the world of gritty irony that she has masterfully created. July spins a complex web that reflects the absurdity, horror, and glory of life. Her protagonist, Cheryl Glickman, allows us to understand the flawed characters of her world -- herself included -- and to see past the grotesque. Cheryl's quirkiness and July's mastery of inner dialogue keep readers entranced and perhaps make them a bit more human as a result of the experience.”
— Letizia Acosta, University Book Store, Seattle, WA
The instant New York Times bestseller is "astonishing...In one novel, Miranda July tells us more about our universal need to be loved, and our ability to love and be loved, than most earthbound authors will in a lifetime" (Vanity Fair). In The First Bad Man, Miranda July tells the story of Cheryl, a vulnerable, uptight woman in her early forties who lives alone, with a perpetual lump in her throat, unable to cry. Cheryl is haunted by a baby boy she met when she was six; she also believes she has a profound connection with Phillip, a philandering board member at Open Palm, the women's self-defense studio where she has worked for twenty years. When Cheryl's bosses ask if their twenty-one-year-old daughter Clee can move into her house for a little while, Cheryl's eccentrically ordered world explodes. And yet it is Clee--the selfish, cruel blond bombshell--who teaches Cheryl what it means to love and be loved and, inadvertently, provides the solace of a lifetime. "Brilliant, hilarious, irreverent, piercing--The First Bad Man powers past sexual boundaries and gender identification into the surprising galaxy of primal connection" (O, The Oprah Magazine). This is a spectacularly original, unsettling, accomplished, and moving first novel with a tender and beguiling happy ending.

Analyses of dosages and blood concentration of cyclosporin A on norrmal Golden Retriever dogs or Golden Retriever with muscular dystrophy
Keywords:Immunosuppression, Golden Retriever muscular dystrophy, Blood concentration, Fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA)
AbstractThe muscular dystrophy of Golden Retriever (GRMD) is a degenerative miopaty caused by the absence of dystrophy and it is genetically homologue of the Duchenne muscular dystrophy in humans, so, these dogs are considerably experimental models for studies on cellular therapy. Their successful depends of the adequate immunosuppression. Cyclosporin A (CsA) is indicated for that and the monitoring of the blood concentration and adverse effects are essential to viabilise the therapy. It was studied GRMD dogs, and normal dogs from the same breed, submitted for therapy with CsA, associated, on GRMD, of cell transplantation. It was evaluated blood concentration of the drug, between two or tree days using the method of FPIA. In our results we found that the CsA blood concentrations oscillated too much on six than eight of our animals. We concluded that the doses varieties individually and the correct dosage as to important as the evaluation of the blood concentration of the drug and became viable for cell therapy.

NEW YORK: Dwijednra Narayan Jha, author of the controversial book which claims that early Hindus ate beef drawing strong reaction in India, has said his book has become a casualty of the culture wars that have "plagued" the country since "hard-line Hindu Bharatiya Janata Party took office five years ago".
In an interview with The New York Times, he says, "the battle lines are drawn very clearly. On one side of the barricade are ideas of cultural pluralism, rationality and democratic values. On the other side are Hindu fundamentalism and cultural nationalism."
"The prohibition on beef-eating has been made a mark of Hindu identity, but this is historically not true," he told the Times in a telephonic interview in the context of publication of the book in the US and Britain by Verso with a title The Myth of the Holy Cow .
Citing "sources ranging from ancient sacred scriptures, the Vedas (circa 1000 BC) to Sanskrit epics as well as the Ramayana and the Mahabharata and data from archaeological digs," Jha alleges that "the holiness of the cow is a myth and that its flesh was very much part of the early non-vegetarian food regimen and dietary tradition."
"Only two days ago, I saw the news that they are trying to get the cow declared a national animal," said Jha, who says he is a vegetarian purely for health reasons.
"In Delhi, cows should best be treated as a safety hazard. You cannot drive safely for the cows that stray around."
The paper says the book — a "dry work of historiography citing ancient Sanskrit texts — has been termed by a World Hindu Council spokesman as "sheer blasphemy."
Excerpts from the book were posted on Internet as it was going to press last August and picked up by papers, and within days the publication of the book was canceled by the publishers. A Hyderabad civil court banned it after a second publisher tried to publish it.
However, later the ban was lifted and the book is now published in the US and Britain and Times says a limited number of copies had been shipped to India but expresses doubt if any store would like to sell it.
Jha claims in his book that not only were oxen and other animals offered as sacrifices to Vedic gods, they were routinely eaten by mere mortals as well.
The Mahabharata, Jha writes, recounts the story of King Rantiveda, who earned his renown by slaughtering 2,000 cows a day in his royal kitchens and distributing beef along with grain to apparently grateful Brahmins. He alleges the Buddha, was "apparently not above the occasional carnivorous nibble."
The paper says in a recent review in The Times Literary Supplement, Wendy Doniger, a professor of the history of religion at the University of Chicago, called Jha's book "a dry, straight academic survey ... proving what every scholar of India has known for well over a century."

...sorry, was working on the pod today and working on legal issues related to Colorado falling into Darkness. Back to normal blogging tomorrow.
Meanwhile, check out my friend Ron's When the Balloon Goes Up blog...he's covering some really interesting topics...stuff that I used to write and podcast about before politics consumed my life.
Still, I am really excited about my new FNH TSR .308/7.62 bolt gun. I do have a few changes I want to make...I'd like to change out to a CDI Precision bottom metal, which will allow me to use Accuracy International magazines. Yes, the AI mags are expensive, but they are the best in the world...as I've learned in working with the Ruger Scout, which uses the AIs (in addition to the Ruger polymer mags). I'm still pondering scopes...it's a toss-up between the Nightforce ATACR or a Leupold Mk 4 LR/T. I want this to be sort of my ultimate .308 long-distance rifle, so I'm not going to skimp on the glass. I'm hoping I like the Hogue overmolded stock...we'll see after I put some rounds through it. I have shot the McMillan A-3 and liked it a lot...so that'l be my default. Brother Iain has a "real" AI rifle...aside from the fact that Iain can outshoot me on any day, I'm interested in seeing how the FNH shoots alongside it.
This summer I'll be doing a long-distance class with the FNH, and yeah, we'll film it for SHOOTING GALLERY. Also, I made a decision earlier tonight that SG 2014 will do a show on 3-D printers for building guns and accessories, specifically magazines. I still remember back in the days of the Clinton AWB when SG did a show on how to build your own AR...and the amount of heat we took. Ah crap what can I say?
BTW, here's an article worth reading from the Alt-Market blog, titled "Gun Rights: Are There Any Peaceful Solutions Left?" I sincerely hope so...

The company is already implementing measures to cut costs and to develop new business models that match the changing market conditions better. According to an Agfa press release, the management has identified a cost cutting potential of approximately Euro 100 million per year in the production, research and development, sales marketing and administration expenses of Consumer Imaging. Approximately 750 jobs, including 200 previously announced losses, will be cut.
Sales of Agfa’s Graphic Systems division were also affected by the weak economic environment with a drop of 11.7 percent to Euro 822 million or minus 3.8 percent without the influence of currency fluctuations. Technical Imaging, including Agfa’s successful HealthCare business, decreased by 5.9 percent to Euro 860 million during the first half of 2003, but showed an increase of 3,7 percent without the influence of currency fluctuations. The operating result of the Technical Imaging division increased by 45.2 percent to Euro 152.7 million, while Graphic Systems showed a positive result of + 9.5 percent to Euro 61 million.
For the full year 2003, the Agfa management is confident for the Graphic Systems and HealthCare division, if the signs of an economic rebound continue. Due to the uncertainties in the consumer market and the additional restructuring costs for the repositioning of the Consumer Imaging business, the management is reluctant to precisely forecast the operating results of the Agfa-Gevaert Group in the second half of 2003.

News arriving our news desk suggests that a new Lion has arrived the Jos Wild life park, following the killing of an aged lion which escaped from the Jos wild life park last year.
The lion cage located at the east end of wild life conservation, took delivery of the lion by daybreak today, after the truck that drove it to Jos arrived at 2 am this morning.
Reports suggests the commissioner of Culture, Tourism and Hospitality, Mr Nwankon John has named the Lion “Lalong” in respect to the huge part played by the governor in assisted to broker the deal of securing the replacement.
The lion was said to have been obtained on a trade by barter deal entered between Plateau and Borno States, with Plateau giving out a rare specie of antelope in exchange for the one and half year-old wild cat.
“Lalong’s” arrival relieves the lioness which had been lonely in the cage since the killing of male lion.
The previous lion was shot by a team of soldiers invited by the park management, after it bolted out of the rusty cage in search of food. Park personnel said the lion was left hungry for days.

Tax Dodge a new documentary produced by award-winning journalist Bruce Livesey will air on the Global Television Network program 16x9 this Saturday, November 23 at 7pm.
Canada has the lowest corporate tax rate in the G7. But that’s not good enough for some Canadian businesses.
They use aggressive accounting practices and set up subsidiaries in other countries for the sole purpose of paying less tax. The practice is often (not always) done legally. This trend points to flaws in the Canadian Tax Code and the skewed sense of entitlement of some major Canadian companies.
It also calls into question the Conservative government’s commitment to fair taxation.
Livesey explores some of these practices and blows the cover on the actual tax rate being paid by some of Canada’s largest companies.
Canadians for Tax Fairness Executive Director Dennis Howlett appears in the documentary along with Liberal Senator Percy Downe, a long-time tax haven critic.
Tune in. It is a great way to find out more about the shifty world of tax havens and how Canadians are involved.

A few things to think about:
1) Adding a tilt corrector between the corrector and the camera is only useful for address a sensor that is tilted. It will not help you to resolve tilt issues that exist due to focuser or OTA collimation error. Have you ruled out whether the sensor is the issue or not? You can do this by rotating the camera 180 degrees and leaving everything else the same. Does the tilt follow the camera or does it remain where it was?
2) How are you collimating your scope? Are you using a laser and/or a cheshire? Newtonian collimation is tricky in the first place. Try to add a reducer and image at f2.8 and that amplifies everything. A laser/Chechire is not accurate enough to collimate a Newt for imaging at this focal ratio. If you are using a catseye collimation set with hotspot on the primary, Autocollimator with offset pupil and Cheshire... you have a prayer of collimating the scope to be able to image at f2.8. Collimation of the OTA is the number one issue when people experience issues like this. It is less likely to be tilt in the focuser, but that is always a possibility. Collimation must be perfect to rule out whether there is any collimation error due to the focuser. Re-read that last sentence. Then re-read the sentence that I bolded.
3) If you are able to achieve perfect collimation and you still have tilt you can start to investigate the focuser. With a moonlite focuser (or any that allow collimation of the drawtube and tilt of the base) you will be able to address issues that reside in the focuser. There are two types of collimation error in a focuser . Tilt of the entire body, as well as axial alignment of the drawtube. If the drawtube is not collimated accurately, you can cancel that out by tilting the base, but you will be unable to rotate the focuser to maintain collimation. Collimating a focuser drawtube is tricky, but with a high quality laser and by removing the primary cell you can shoot a wall target off the secondary mirror and dial this in.
The main thing here, is that most issues truly lie within the the collimation of the OTA. If you are not using a system that amplifies collimation error, such as the catseye system, there is no way you are going to get perfect collimation with traditional tools and be able to image at f2.8... unless maybe you are Vic Menard. That said, can you guess what tools Vic uses for collimation? And as far as I know, he does not try to image at f2.8.
Lastly, the reducer you are using is not designed to produce pin-point stars across the frame. It's just not up to the task. Whether you have the ASA version, or the TS version, odds are if you correct all the error I discussed above, you will not get perfect stars. If you want speed, you will have to deal with less than perfection. If you want perfect stars, get a paracorr and image at f4.5. If you want very good stars, get a GPU/Quattro and image at f4.
All of this is stated, without seeing your issues in an image. These are just my thoughts having imaged with three different Newts, three different focusers, 4 different correctors (including the reducer). Good luck.

Lost Ark has been an unequivocal success for Amazon’s publishing arm, taking the big Korean MMOARPG west. But after a wild launch with 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam, a short while later it came crashing down to a low of about 340,000 competitors. Still high in the grand overview of Steam, but a significant loss all the same.
Now? Things have…changed.
Since that low point in early April, Lost Ark has spent the last two and a half months steadily re-growing its playerbase to the point where it’s now topping out at close to 900,000 concurrent players. It’s a massive departure from Amazon’s own homegrown MMO, New World, which started strong at 900,000 players itself, but has never stopped declining, and now has been hitting fresh lows recently with peaks around 18,000 competitors.
Lost Ark is routinely a top game on Steam, often top two or three, in the mix with DOTA 2 and CSGO. So, why has it grown so much?
- A light release period for several months may have caused players to return to it with not all that much else to play.
- The free model, which does have paid purchases eventually, but there’s a massive amount of content to experience for free.
- Lots of new updates, which include the addition of new continents, quests and subclasses. It’s been enough to keep players coming back.
- Many claim that thousands, tens of thousands or even potentially hundreds of thousands of these players are bots, so some of these gains may be illegitimate. Amazon has talked about already doing widespread bot ban waves with even more to come soon, so we will see what that does to the playercount. But even after batch bannings, the trend has still been significantly upward.
And of course that in many ways, Lost Ark was kind of a slam dunk to start with. It’s already been live in other regions for years so it already got to experience its growing pains a long time ago. The current western version is a result of those years of built-in success, which puts it at an advantage over a lot of similar “live” games that struggle to find their initial footing.
I really liked Lost Ark a lot, as I felt like it scratched my eternal Diablo itch, a gap that was not filled by Immortal, and will not be filled until Diablo 4 a year from now. My only issue with Lost Ark was time. As an MMO it commands a whole lot of time, even just to manage a single character and keep growing their power. As such, with so many other live games I also need to keep up with, I couldn’t keep going for the long term. But if I could clone myself, that clone would absolutely be playing and writing about Lost Ark right now on the regular.
The past few days have seen some big drops for Lost Ark, but mainly because of server issues and maintenance I believe. I really want to see if it goes back above a million again, as that’s currently how it appears to be trending.

Commonwealth Business Women (CBW), Nigeria, has called on Nigerian women to vote candidates of their choice during forthcoming elections.
CBW’s Chief Executive Officer, Afoma Adigwe, made the charge, on Tuesday, in a statement, in Lagos. She said women have the political will to change the fortune of the country and bring about positive development.
“Women have contributed positively to humanity, we have an obligation to vote, to assure we have a positive future and access to programmes that sustain us. Women have long had to fight for many rights, and voting is just one of them. Voting is not just a right, it is also a privilege. Every eligible person should be participating.
“We, as women, just have to vote and make our voices heard. It is a privilege to have a say in who gets to run our country, and we should never take an opportunity like that for granted” she said in the statement.
Meanwhile, National Orientation Agency (NOA), Badagry office yesterday held a Voter’s enlightenment campaign at Ajara HV Agelasho community hall in the Badagry Local Government Area of Lagos State to sensitise voters on new rules and methods in the voting process.
An Assistant Director of the agency, Eke Ebenezer Pedro, who led the campaign, gathered all stakeholders together, including the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), political parties, political leaders, the media, community and traditional leaders, the police, students, members of National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), youth and women groups and market leaders, for the sensitisation.

The Pitmen make a quick return to action today, Bank Holiday Monday, as we make the journey north to Yorkshire in order to take on Farsley Celtic.
This will be just our third ever meeting with Farsley, and perhaps a game that we weren’t expecting to face with our planned move south, however we do remain unbeaten in our previous two fixtures with us securing maximum points both home and away last season.
Our hosts come into the fixture fresh, having not had a game on Saturday due to their planned opposition – Hyde – having to enter the FA Cup at an earlier stage. Celtic have made an impressive start to the season though, securing two victories from their opening two fixtures – including an impressive 4-1 rout of South Shields in their last home game.
After suffering a disappointing 2-1 defeat against Gainsborough Trinity on Saturday Pitmen manager Rob Smith will be looking for a response from his team. He will be without midfielder Reece King – who sits out the second game of a three-match ban, and Tom Hill (holiday). Meanwhile Jermain Hollis is now available for selection again after serving his ban and Jed Davies will be pushing for a place in the starting XI after playing 30 minutes on Saturday.
The game kicks off at 3pm and we’d like to thank those Hednesford supporters who are giving up their Bank Holiday in order to make the long journey to Yorkshire when a derby fixture is usually the flavour of these afternoons.

Uncountable number of all sort real time table games starting from famous monopoly and ending with a live dealer poker. You just have to choose the game and seat by the table next to the other players. One slight remark: you are at home in comfort.
It is very prestigious for casinos online to have Evolution Gaming in the lobby. To tell the truth, a casino may already be considered safe because it could allow the Evolution games. Altogether, usually online casinos with a positive reputation select the EG as one of their providers. The reason is that many players prefer cards, especially live. So, live table games are just a necessity for the online casinos. Here are the gambling websites where you can join tables of Evolution: LeoVegas, MrGreen, Casimba, Spin Casino, Playamo, JackpotCity, 888 Casino, Yako Casino and many many others. No matter what online casino you choose, if it has Evolution Gaming, you are at the right plac
Internet banking is a method for online payments that allows us to transfer funds from banking card to online casino account (in gambling). This also refers to eWallets that keep your banking card in their accounts. With the help of internet banking, players can make deposits to online casinos, and receive special welcome bonuses if they deposit using e-wallet (internet banking).
Online casinos are made for money. However, who owns the money, you or casino? It’s clear to everyone that online casinos always win. First of all, because you lose. And even though you win, this sum isn’t a damage for the gambling site income. So, what is the 100% way to win, and win for real?
You have to understand that gambling is a tricky thing. The main feature is randomness. Thus making a spin you can’t really know what will be the result. Will you win, or lose? It’s impossible to predict. Perhaps, the only method you can apply is using betting strategies and appropriate tips. Below I’ll give you the tips that can lead your game to a beneficial ending. Though I don’t guarantee the 100% winning. The game randomness and your own luck are still priority for the final result.
Use these tips
- Choose gambling website wisely. The real money can be given out by the official site only. Make sure it’s not a fraud. The real money casino must obtain licence, official registration and adequate terms & conditions. For more info on how to spot the real online casino, read our blog for the relevant topic.
- Bet strategically. Don’t bet too much on the first round. Let the game begin with the minimum bet amount. Probably, the first 5 spins will be failing. Later, when you’ve lost a bit of your deposit, the game will start raising the probability of good results. You’ll feel it. This time you can raise the bet a bit more. But still not all at a time. Analyze the gameplay and bet accordingly.
- Stop on time. If you see that you fail constantly, just quit the game. It won’t bring you good results. Try the next time, with the fresh willing to play and win. However, if you still have enough money for several spins, I suggest to lower your bet to the minimum, and play until the RNG decides you need some winnings.
At the present days there have appeared a lot of payment systems. They all are secure and fast. Ecopayz is one of them. Basically, it is an international e-wallet which processes money online quickly and safely. It has become popular among online casinos. By 2020, almost every Internet casino allows you to deposit or withdraw through ecopayz. NZ players are glad with the service too. They choose ecopayz for the following reasons:
- Ecopayz accepts NZD currency.
- The system is worldwide.
- No need to enter your bank card info.
- On the other hand, ecopayz can be connected with cards and send money to your bank and backwards.

Background: This study aimed to examine the anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic effects of the green solvent extract from F.subincisa Buch-Ham.ExSm.This paper also explains how bio-based products have been highly safe and alternative to the use of organic solvent. Methods: The serial extraction was carried out with increasing polarity using a magnetic stirrer: d-limonene, Isopropyl alcohol, Ethyl lactate, and Hydroalcohol.The concentrated and dried extracts were subjected to analysis the antidiabetic activity and anti-inflammatory activity were assessed by employing standard in vitro techniques. Result: In vitro anti-inflammatory assays were performed using heat-induced bovine serum albumin (BSA) denaturation and erythrocyte membrane stabilization assays.α-amylase and α-glucosidase were used to evaluate the anti-diabetic activity of F.subincisa bark in vitro. Diclofenac sodium, Acarbose, and aspirin were used as reference drugs. The in vitro method showed significant anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic properties of different bio-based extracts tested. Conclusions: Findings from this study showed that F.subincisa exhibited substantial anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic actions in vitro models.
The aversion towards green solvents has generated great interest and growing demand, as an alternative to organic solvents which have several major disadvantages such as their high volatility, flammability, and toxicity1. The ideal alternative solvents suitable for green extraction should be easy to recycle without any deleterious effect on the environment, great solvency, high flash points with low toxicity and low environmental impacts, be easily biodegradable, obtained from renewable resources at a reasonable price2.
Overweight and obesity are major risk factors for several chronic diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. It leads to the enlargement of adipocytes along with infiltration of immune cells which causes persisting low-grade inflammation, it further increases the number of inflammatory cytokines and production of free fatty acids in body fluid3. The concept and the molecular pathways that link inflammation and insulin have been demonstrated for more than two decades4, 5. Obesity and inflammation are interrelated to each other as in a cycle that develops insulin resistance in various tissues and cells that are insulin sensitive like liver cells, skeletal muscles, and adipocytes which lead to type 2 diabetes (T2D)6. T2D is a chronic illness that is caused due to insufficient insulin secretion that is distinguished by an abnormal increase in glucose level in blood due to lessening insulin production or insulin sensitivity. About 25% of the world population including developing or developed countries suffering from Diabetes mellitus. In China with some estimated that 110 million persons are diabetic which is the highest number of diabetics worldwide, followed by India (70million)and the USA(30million)persons. According to WHO diabetes will be the 7th leading cause of death in 20307. Thus, continuous research with natural aliquots from plants with hypoglycemic effects is vital. Such research will offer new and more constructive therapeutic approaches for the treatment of diabetes and its imminent complications8, 9.
Inflammation is a response of living tissues towards injury and it involves foundational and nearby responses. Regardless of our reliance on neighborhood medication and the huge advances in engineered drugs, an enormous number of the world populaces (80% of individuals) can't bear the cost of the results of the western pharmaceutical industry and need to depend upon the utilization of customary prescriptions, which are principally gotten from plant material10, 11. The truth of the matter is very much perceived by the WHO which has as of late conformed to a stock of therapeutic plants posting more than 20000 species. The family Moraceae comprises a few significant therapeutic plants with a wide scope of pharmacological, natural exercises, and intriguing phytochemical constituents 12, 13. It is the body's reaction to inactivate or decimate the attacking life forms, to evacuate the aggravations, and set up for tissue fix. It is activated by the arrival of compound go-betweens from harmed tissue and relocating cells. The regularly utilized medication for the administration of incendiary conditions is non-steroidal calming drugs, which have a few antagonistic impacts particularly gastric disturbance prompting arrangement of gastric ulcers14. Towards the expansion of modern medicine, natural products have contributed significantly. Recently established medicine globally is being reexamined by extensive investigation on different plant species and their vital curative principles. The wealthy plant kingdom can represent a refreshing source of noble compounds with notable anti-inflammatory activities15. The excellence of herbal medicine seems to be theirs recognize effectiveness, low incidence of serious adverse effects, and low cost.
The plant under study is F.subincisa growing in the Uttrakhand Garhwal region. In the way of penetrating for natural curing agents, the authors did not find reported data about any research of this species, so the present work was carried out to standardize its biological activity to help with its common use as a medicinal plant.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Collection and Identification of Plant Material:
The selected plant F.subincisa was collected from the Tehri Garhwal regions of Uttrakhand. The plant was identified and authenticated with the help of the department of Botanical Survey of India and Voucher specimens (N0-31, 02/2019) of the plants were deposited in the herbarium center of the Department of Botanical Survey of India, Dehradun, Uttrakhand, India. The shade dried and powdered plant samples were preserved for further experimentations.
Sequential extraction of the plant samples:
Bark was washed under a running tap, followed by rinsing with distilled water, shade dried, and pulverized in a mechanical grinder to obtain coarse powder. The powdered material was stored in an airtight container until use The shed dried powdered plant samples (50 g, soaked overnight) were sequentially extracted in d-limonene, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl lactate, and hydro alcohol up to 2 h using a flat bottom flask attached to water condenser is placed on the magnetic stirrer. The samples were evaporated under reduced pressure in a vacuum oven. The dried extracts were preserved at 40C in the refrigerator for further analysis16.
Chemicals and reagents:
Analytical grade chemicals were used in the study. Bovine serum albumin was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich, Tris buffer (Merck), p-Nitrophenyl-α-Dglucopyranoside (SRL Pvt., Ltd.,), α-amylase (SRL Pvt., Ltd.,),3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNSA) (SRL Pvt., Ltd.,), α-glucosidase (SRL Pvt Ltd),d-limonene (Lobachemie), ethyl lactate (Lobachemie), ethanol (Merck), isopropyl alcohol (Merck), sodium carbonate (CDH), Sodium citrate, Citric acid, Sodium chloride, Sodium hydroxide, and Dihydrogen phosphate was purchased from the vendors as listed. Reference standard Sodium Diclofenac, Acarbose, and Aspirin were obtained from Cipla Ltd, Bangalore. UV-Visible spectrophotometer (Systronics 118) was used for the estimation of antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory activity.
Assessment of antidiabetic activity by using in vitro assays:
Alpha-amylase inhibitory assay:
In vitro amylase inhibition was studied with some modification(17). In brief, 1 ml of the test extract was allowed to react with 1 ml of α-amylase enzyme and 1 ml of 20 mM of phosphate buffer (pH-6.9). After 30-minute incubation at 37 °C, 1 ml of 1% starch solution was added. After incubation for15 minutes at 37 °C, 1 ml of 96 Mm dinitrosalicylic acid reagent was added to both control and test. The absorbance was recorded at 540 nm using a UV-Visible spectrophotometer
α-Glucosidase inhibitory assay:
Plant aliquots were evaluated for α-glucosidase inhibitory activity according to the method with slight modifications(8). Plant extracts (1 mL) at varying concentrations were incubated with 1 ml of the α-glucosidase enzyme solution (1 U/mL) for 30 min at 37 °C with an additional 1ml of 100 mM phosphate buffer (pH 6.8). After 20 min, the reaction was started with the addition of 1mL of 5 mM p-NPG, and the mixture was incubated for 15 min. The reaction was terminated with the addition of 0.5 M of Tris buffer (4 ml) and final absorbance was measured at 410 nm using a UV-Visible spectrophotometer. Acarbose was used as a standard at varying concentrations.
Evaluation of anti-inflammatory by using in vitro assays:
Protein denaturation method:
The assay method was carried out with some modifications18). The plant extracts were prepared at different concentrations (μg/ml). The assay mixtures were prepared by adding 2.8 ml of 50 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.5), 2 ml sample solutions, 0.2 ml of freshly prepared egg albumin solution. The mixtures were incubated at 70°C for 10 min. The inhibitory activities were assayed spectrophotometrically at 660 nm using a UV-Visible spectrophotometer.
HRBC Membrane stabilization method:
The anti-inflammatory activity of various extracts of Bark of F.subincisa was assessed by in vitro HRBC membrane stabilization method19. Blood was collected from healthy volunteers. The blood was mixed with an equal volume of Alsever’s solution, and centrifuged with isosaline. To 1 mL of HRBC suspension, an equal volume of test drug in different concentrations, 50,100, 500, and 1000 μg/mL, was added. All the assay mixtures were incubated for 30 minutes and centrifuged at 37°C. The hemoglobin content in the supernatant solution was estimated by using a UV-Visible spectrophotometer at 560 nm.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:
α-amylase and α-glucosidase assays:
The inhibitory effects of different green extract fractions on α-amylase enzyme were evaluated by the in-vitro method. All the fractions exhibited inhibitory action against the enzymes in a concentration dependant manner. The limonene, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl lactate, and hydro alcohol fractions exhibited the highest α-amylase inhibitory activity of 63.67, 86.67, 90.34, and 62.85 % respectively at a concentration of 1500μg/ml (Figure 1). The alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity of different fractions of F.subincisa bark was evaluated by the in-vitro method. All the fractions exhibited inhibitory action against α- glucosidase in a dose-dependent manner. The limonene, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl lactate, and hydro alcohol fractions exhibited the highest α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of 59.09, 52.59, 79.22, and 87.66% respectively at a concentration of 1000μg/ml (Figure 2). Results of the study showed that the hydro alcohol extract has the strongest α-glucosidase activity as compared to other fractions at all tested concentrations. A standard reference drug was used as acarbose for both α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzyme inhibitory assay. The standard enzyme inhibitor showed α-amylase inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 154.87±2.33 µg/ml and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 105.63±1.71 µg/ml. Among all, ethyl lactate and hydro alcohol fraction have shown the highest α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzyme inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 418.34±2.73 and 265.92±0.67 µg/mL respectively which were comparable with that of acarbose. Highest inhibitory activity indicative Lowest IC50 values.

HRBC membrane stabilization and inhibition of protein denaturation assays:
The results of anti-inflammatory activity determined by the Bovine Serum Albumin Assay (BSA) and human red blood cell membrane stabilization test were shown in Fig.3 and Fig.4. The hydro alcohol and ethyl lactate of bark showed a concentration-dependent anti-inflammatory activity, and the protection percent increased with an increase in the concentration of the samples. At a concentration of 1000 μg/ml, the hydro alcohol fraction of bark produced 86.65% and 93.81% inhibition of HRBC hemolysis and bovine serum albumin respectively as compared with 90.05±4.56% and 92.56 ± 5.04 % produced by standard drug aspirin and sodium diclofenac. Likewise. It is clear from the data that F.subincisa bark showed a greater response.

Biocompatible solvents for the extraction of natural products became a revolution area of research between the manufacturing industry and academics not only research but also education20. It is a new area of innovations that will not end. Efficient extraction of various kinds of phytochemicals by “green” solvents provides a bio-viable alternative to conventional solvents21. Lessor non-toxicity of these solvents makes chemical processes economically as well as ecologically sustainable22, 23. To treat various types of disease herbal medicine is very useful. Restorative plants exist in many regional varieties depending on the topographical flora24, 25. Contemporary medicament was originally extracted from herbal sources, they are now made a facsimile, and many other drugs are subsided from plant substances. With the availability of an improvident amount of medicinal plants, traditional restorative plants are frequently used in rural parts26, 27. Many plant extracts have been reported to have hypoglycaemic activities and are used in Ayurveda for the treatment of diabetes28. In this study, an in vitro inhibitory effect of different extracts of F.subincisa on porcine pancreatic amylase and alpha-glucosidase activities was evaluated. The ethyl lactate and hydro alcohol extracts of the bark show the highest inhibition. These had lowered the blood glucose level successively, which may be due to the increased level of insulin in the blood. In the present research investigation, different solvent extracts of F.subincisa are evaluated for their anti-diabetic activity. Two different in vitro assays were used to evaluate anti-diabetic activities of different solvent extracts of F.subincisa viz., alpha-amylase and glucose uptake It may be due to the presence of chemical constituents such as terpenes, quercetin, rutin, and alkaloids in the extracts. To study anti-inflammatory activity erythrocyte membrane is used which is analogous to the lysosomal membrane. Restraining the inflammatory response by preventing the release of lysosomal constituents of activated neutrophils, such as bacterial proteases, which causes auxiliary tissue inflammation and extracellular release29, 30. In our study, all the hydroalcoholic extracts significantly stabilized. Our investigation showed that hydro alcohol extracts possess significant anti-proteinase activity and it is logical to predict that, the anti-inflammatory activity of the tested drug may be due to the anti-proteinase activity of the extracts 31-34. So in the course of inflammation, any phytoconstituent which has the ability to defend denaturation of protein could contribute significantly.
The potential use of green solvents namely ethyl lactate, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl lactate, and d-limonene in the extraction of F.subincisa bark was presented in this work. The magnetic stirrer is a suitable technology and the green solvents show prominence to extract phytoconstituents from F.subincisa bark, shorter extraction times with lower consumption of extraction solvents than the traditional extraction method like soxhlet extractor. The results also indicate that the green solvent extracts of F.subincisa possess anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic properties. The extract inhibited the heat-induced albumin denaturation, stabilized the Red Blood Cells membrane, non-enzymatic Glucosidase inhibitory activity, and amylase inhibitory activity. This study gives an idea that the compounds of F.subincisa can be used as a lead compound for designing a potent anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic drug that can be used for the treatment of various diseases such as inflammation, carcinoma, aging, and neurological disorder.

Judge slaps down Stan Lee Media’s bid for Marvel characters; ComicBookResources.com, 9/6/13
Kevin Melrose, ComicBookResources.com; Judge slaps down Stan Lee Media’s bid for Marvel characters: "A federal judge on Thursday dismissed Stan Lee Media’s multibillion-dollar lawsuit against Disney, potentially ending its long and confusing legal battle to claim ownership of the Marvel characters co-created by Stan Lee. The failed dot-com has had no connection to its co-founder and namesake in more than a decade; in fact, the two have sued each other on a few occasions. As Deadline reports, in granting Disney’s motion to dismiss the 2012 copyright-infringement complaint, U.S. District Judge William J. Martinez didn’t attempt to hide his annoyance with the litigious Stan Lee Media, whose tangled web of lawsuits began it at least 2007, just months after the company emerged from federal bankruptcy protection."

In this sermon, part of a series on the Fruit of the Spirit, Pastor Neil reveals what the Bible has to say about waiting for patience. Here are some excerpts:
What Paul has to Say About Waiting for Patience
In 1 Corinthians 13:4, Paul says that “love is patient.” Patience, in fact, is the first quality of love he names in his magnum opus on love in 1 Corinthians 13. Patience with others is an indicator of the maturity of your love. Likewise, impatience is a sign, not necessarily of the shallowness of your love, but of its immaturity and the need for it to grow – or grow up.
Waiting for Patience is Not Easy
Be patient with everyone (1 Thessalonians 5:14). Easy to say, right? But patience is needed not just with people. We need it in and for all the varied seasons and circumstances we encounter in life. One of my “go-to” verses in the New Testament is Romans 12:12, where Paul says: “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” Putting these three things into practice in our lives would benefit us all. But let’s just focus on the second: Be patient in affliction. Think of affliction not just as a particular illness or injury, a chronic condition or a disability that limits you in some way. All of these come under the umbrella of “affliction.” But more broadly, think of any situation or circumstance in your life that is less than desirable and calls for patience to put up with it.
A Dictionary Definition
One dictionary defines patience as the capacity to remain self-controlled [another fruit of the Spirit] despite difficult circumstances or actions that might be expected to cause anger or upset (Revell Bible Dictionary, 758). Another defines it as the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset (Oxford Languages). Still another says it is the will or ability to wait or endure without complaint (www.yourdictionary.com ). Whichever definition you prefer, it’s no wonder the fruit of patience is in such short supply. It calls for attitudes and resources that don’t come naturally to most of us.
Be Slow to Speak and Slow to Become Angry
In James 1:19 we are told to be “quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.” This has everything to do with our penchant to speak and/or act impatiently in all kinds of situations. This penchant for impatience is one reason it is helpful to live by the rule: Quick. Slow. Slow: Be quick to listen. Make sure you hear what is being said (or not said). Don’t fly off the handle. Lead with your ears, not with your mouth or emotions. Think before you speak. Pray before you speak. And, like God, who is always compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in love, don’t let anger control you. Don’t let your anger get out of control. Remember, as James goes on to say, anger doesn’t bring about the kind of righteous life God desires (1:20).
Patience Pleases God
Anger itself is not a sin, as Paul points out in Ephesians 4:26. You can be angry and not sin. It depends on what you’re angry about and what you do with your anger. You can be angry about something and not be an angry person. But … if anger is one of the distinctive “fruits” of your life, you can be sure that patience is not. Patience is a fruit of the Spirit that pleases God. Anger is not.

Conservative leadership candidate and former Harper minister Peter MacKay has issued a clarification over a previous statement which seemed to suggest that he would repeal marijuana, according to the CBC.
“No, I would not reverse it,” said MacKay to the CBC. “But I am very concerned about the impacts on mental health, on children and mental health generally, impaired driving and other … unintended consequences.”
MacKay went on to say that he was concerned about black market weed, which Trudeau’s legalization was supposed to remedy, however this could also be an argument for more weed shops.
On Feb. 8th, during an interview with a local paper, Peter MacKay said that he didn’t agree with the legalization of cannabis. “There’s now simply more marijuana available to more people, including young people,” said MacKay. I don’t think that’s the most productive and highest priority that a government could pursue.
After this interview, Marijuana enthusiasts began to dig through Stats Canada where they found information that conflicts with some of MacKay’s views. The statistics show that consumption of marijuana in 15- to 17-year-olds has dropped 10 percent since its legalization.
