Dikshit gets court notice on BJP leader’s pleaJuly 10th, 2012 - 7:49 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, July 10 (IANS) The Delhi High Court Tuesday issued notice to Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Bharatiya Janata Party leader Vijender Gupta’s plea seeking quashing of summons issued to him by a trial court on her defamation complaint.
Justice P.K. Bhasin refused to stay the summons against Gupta on Dikshit’s complaint but asked her to file reply by Aug 13, the next date of hearing.
Metropolitan Magistrate Saumya Chauhan June 4 accepted Dikshit’s plea for issuance of summons against Gupta for defaming her prior to the April civic polls in the capital.
Gupta moved the high court challenging the trial court’s order summoning him on the ground that the entire material presented in support of complaint was based on hearsay.
“The allegations made in the complaint and evidence led in support of the complaint did not make out a case of summoning the petitioner as the entire material produced or statement made in support of complaint was based on hearsay evidence,” he said.
Justice Bhasin declined to stay the trial court’s summoning order but granted Gupta the liberty to seek exemption before the magistrate July 13, the date fixed for Gupta to appear.
The trial court June 22 issued fresh summons against Gupta for July 12 after he failed to appear before the court.
Gupta’s petition said: “The Magistrate committed grave error under law by acting on newspaper reports which are the only basis of complaint and complainant’s evidence in support of the complaint…”
“The magistrate had acted in haste and passed the impugned order of summoning arbitrarily and mechanically and as such the impugned order is liable to be quashed or set aside,” Gupta said.
The complaint filed by Dikshit before the magistrate said that to gain political mileage by maligning her, the BJP leader had used “uncivilised” language against her before the civic polls.
Dikshit alleged that Gupta called her “villain”, “cheat” and “vamp” and also said that she had cheated the people of Delhi.
The chief minister May 30 recorded her statement against Gupta and requested the court to summon him.
Dikshit said that she had sent legal notices to Gupta after the civic polls but the BJP leader did not apologise and rather stood by his remarks.
Dikshit had also filed a civil suit in the high court demanding token damages of Rs.1 from Gupta for putting up hoardings across the city, accusing her government of conniving with private power distribution companies and indulging in corruption in determining power tariff.

Online poker is a digital version of the popular card game that allows players to participate in virtual games from any location with an internet connection. It is regulated in states where it is legal and offers players a variety of options for playing including free games and tournaments. Online poker can be a great way to hone your skills and improve your chances of winning real money. However, it is important to understand that you need to be patient and take the time to practice and study the game.
Poker is a fast-paced game that requires quick decisions, good observation, and a strong math background. Many people play the game for fun, while others seek to make it their profession. The best way to improve your chances of winning is through studying, practice, and participation in free games. You can also use online poker training programs to improve your strategy and technique. You can also familiarize yourself with different playing styles and observe your opponents.
The popularity of online poker has grown since Chris Moneymaker’s World Series victory and the subsequent “poker boom” in 2003. Since then, millions of people have taken up the game of poker to either have some fun or win some cash. It’s easy to see why online poker is so popular; it’s a fun, intellectual, and exciting game that rewards skill and dedication.
To get started with online poker, you’ll need to sign up for an account on a recommended poker site and deposit funds. Once you’ve done this, you can then select a game or tournament and start playing. You can choose from several game variants, such as Texas Hold’em, Omaha, and Seven-Card Stud. You can even compete in online poker tournaments against other players from around the world.
You can also find a range of promotions and bonuses at online poker sites, which can help you boost your bankroll. These can include welcome bonuses, reload bonuses, and freerolls. Some of these promotions can be very lucrative, but you should always read the terms and conditions carefully before accepting any bonus.
One of the best things about online poker is that it’s a hugely interactive community. There are countless forums to join, plenty of software that helps you improve your game, and a seemingly infinite number of books on the subject. The information that you can pick up from these resources is invaluable, and will help you become a better player.
Another advantage of online poker is that it’s much faster than live poker. On average, you’ll be dealt about 30 hands an hour in a live no-limit hold’em game, but at a good online table, you can expect to play 60 or more hands per hour. This makes it easier to multi-table, which is a big part of the appeal for many players. As you play more and more hands, the numbers that you learn through studying, tracking software output, and reading will become ingrained in your poker brain. This will give you a natural intuition for things like frequency and EV estimation.

Dutchwoman Kirsten Wild (Hitec-Products) won a bunch sprint to take victory at the Asda Women’s Tour de Yorkshire this morning. In what was an exciting final, a bunch kick had been in doubt until a three woman break, including local favourite world champion Lizzie Armitstead, was caught with just two kilometres to go.
Britain’s Lucy Garner (Wiggle-High5) finished a close second to Wild, with another Dutch rider, Floortje Mackaij (Liv-Plantur) taking third place. Despite Wild’s preparations for the track events at the Rio Olympics this summer, it was her fourth road win of the season.
Swiss time trial champion Doris Schweizer (Cylance), who had escaped the peloton alone early on, had earlier built a gap of three minutes, but with 75km behind her the sprinters’ teams began to lead the chase.
With her lead just 25 seconds at the top of the final climb at Conisbrough Castle, she was caught by Armitstead and Leah Kirchmann (Liv-Plantur), who joined forces to build a lead that topped out at over a minute with just 15 km to ride.
Watch: Highlights of Tour de Yorkshire stage one
It was here, however, the route turned into a headwind and onto wider roads, giving the peloton an advantage and, led by Wild’s Norwegian Hitec team along with Alé Cipollini, that their trio’s advantage began disappear.
The race is significant not only for the huge £15,000 prize Wild was awarded, but also because the event took place over the same 136.5 km course as stage two of the men’s Tour de Yorkshire. Events such as the Tour of Flanders run their women’s races on reduced or different courses, though with the same finish, the Tour de Yorkshire’s approach was different.
In addition, the maximum distance permitted for a women’s one day race is 140 km, and though the Tour de Yorkshire was only classified by the UCI 1.2 event, the race was longer than three of the six one day Women’s WorldTour races so far this year.
The race was supposed to have been covered live on both Eurosport and ITV4, however a technical issue with the aeroplane used to relay pictures meant viewers were unable to see live pictures.
British riders excelled in the race with five finishing in the top ten. Garner’s second place was her best finish of 2016, while teenager Evie Richards proved her all round class with her tenth place to add to the U23 cyclo-cross rainbow jersey she won in February.

Hard Sell 2016
1h 36min | Comedy | 20 May 2016 (USA)
A high school student struggling to help his suffering mom and their sick dog forms an unlikely friendship with a beautiful runaway.
I saw yesterday the movie Hard Sell.I like it a lot. I saw it because i’m a fan of Katrina Bowden, since i saw her in the movie, Tucker and Dale vs Evil.
The force of the movie, for me, is the script. We see a high school student with a crazy mother and he don’t know what to do with her.We don’t see often this kind of story.The student forms a friendship with a runaway and they’re funny to see together!
We connect with all the principal characters. The acting is excellent. They are touching and funny and we believe they exist.
The movie was shot in Long Island, New York, and we see beautiful places.
So i highly recommend this movie. You have a good time watching it. *I hope my text makes sens. My first language is french.

The open battle between the White House and the billionaire Koch brothers escalated further on Tuesday when former Donald Trump campaign advisor Sam Nunberg insulted the billionaire heirs.
"The Kuck Brothers (sic) better check themselves before they wreck themselves & get with the Donald Trump White House - punks," Nunberg tweeted.
The alt-right has referred to their Republican Party enemies as "cuckservatives," which is a portmanteau of a shortened version of the word "cuckold" and "conservative."
In 2016, GQ explained, "the word 'cuck' resonates with white nationalists who feel as though their country has been taken away from them, and not enough had been done by the cuckservative establishment conservative party to protect it. 'Cuck' is a concept borne out of insecurity: a fear that one is inadequate, sexually or otherwise, and that inadequacy will lead to the loss of the things that are important to him."
"If one’s insults represent their own fears, those who call others a cuck do so in the desperate hope that shreds of their own masculine and racial prominence can be protected," GQ added.
David and Charles Koch have publicly said that President Donald Trump is doing "long-term damage" to America.
Charles Koch has said he doesn't care if Democrats take back the House of Representatives in 2018.
Also on Tuesday, President Donald Trump lashed out at the Koch brothers.

Grace – Kilifi county written by Pauline
Adolescence is a time when individuals should have optimal health and joy but many teenagers’ experience challenges such as teenage pregnancies. Teenage pregnancies are a global problem that occur in high, middle, and low-income counties. It is estimated that 10 percent of girls become mothers before they are 16 years (WHO 2008). Every year, an estimated 21 million girls aged 15 to 19 years and 2 million girls aged under 15 years become pregnant in developing regions (WHO 2018). Sub-Saharan Africa region accounts for the highest adolescent fertility rate at 119.7 compared to the global average of 58.1 births per 1000 women aged 15-19 years (Lukale and Okande, 2012)
Data from Kenya Data and Health Survey (2014) show that one in every five girls between the age of 15-19 years is either pregnant or already a mother. As of 2019 latest statistics from the Global Childhood show that Kenya has the third-highest teen pregnancy rates with 82 births per 1,000 births. According to the United Nations Population Fund Report, Kenya has recorded 378, 397 adolescent and teenage pregnancies for girls aged 10-19 years between July 2016 and June 2017, specifically, 28, 932 girls aged 10-14 and 349,465 girls aged 15-19 became pregnant teenage pregnancy in Kenya: gloom and doom in education, health
Adolescent girls are at risk of teenage pregnancies which deter them from achieving their goals due to early school dropouts to take care of their young ones. Grace is a 19year old girl from gongoni magarini,Kilifi County. It has always been Grace’s dream to become a successful business woman by owning her salon but some happenstance has drifted the dream away in front of her eyes. She was in class 7 when she got her first boyfriend and shortly after she found out she was pregnant. Her boyfriend on knowing she was paged blew her off and she had to drop out of school in class 8 to look after her young one.
During her daily work at home, Grace was approached by one of the Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) in the Binti Shupavu program in the village, they had a small chat on Binti Shupavu clinic session and how she will learn about achieving her goals during the session at Gongoni Health Center. Grace was eager and on the due day, she met with other girls her age and the session began by sharing stories, experiences and challenges young girls like her go through, one of them being unplanned pregnancies. The health provider in the session helped her to understand about contraceptives and eliminated all the fears she had towards it. They also demystified myths and misconceptions known in the community and methods she can adopt.
Grace also joined Binti Shupavu fest where she was empowered economically by learning the art of making reusable pads, soap and jik. She was also linked with TVET institution (Mapimo Vocational and Training College) where she pursued her dream of becoming a hair dresser, she is in her final year and uses the soft skills to make soap and jik for her family.
Globally, the proportion of young women not in employment, education or training (NEET) is more than twice that of young men (31.1% among females versus 13.8% among males), with far wider gender gaps in some settings, UNICEF
“I’m grateful for Binti Shupavu, they created the urgency for me to go back to school where I’m pursuing my dream of being a successful hair dresser, I have also learned how to space children in order to give ample time to my young one to nourish and grow, I opted to use contraception after being offered guidance and counselling by the health provider and now I’m able to choose when to have a child” Grace

This story, along with George Guidall's narration, has the feel and sound of Vince Flynn and Mitch Rapp. Since I am a huge Mitch Rapp fan, I enjoyed the book. It felt familiar. Highly recommend if you like the patriotism, hero stories and if you like Vince Flynn's work. The narration is second to none, George is the best!
This story is very captivating. The newly released movie is nearly 100% true to the book. The only reason i didn't rate it 5 stars was because I would have preferred less foul language... but that is my personal preference. The story was really good. I recommend both the movie and the book.
I was really enjoying this story, it unfolded kind of slow but was interesting. The narrator is not real good but they did not mess up the story - so it was ok.
Toward the end I was really getting into the story and then the last 3 or so hours it became apparent that this book /story had evolved into a rant from an Anti- Death Penalty perspective. That was disappointing because it took away from my enjoyment.
Other than that, it was good, I would recommend
My son listened to this and he enjoyed it. He gave it 2 thumbs up.
This was my first Chevy Stevens novel and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Could not wait to hear what was going to happen next. Good story, good narration, recommend.
Enjoyed this book. It is a short adventure, quick listen, very entertaining.
If you are a fan of the series, I recommend this book.
Very interesting to hear some of the sermons from days gone by.
I love the Word of God and love to hear how God used His servants, so I found this very interesting!
I downloaded the first few chapters as a free preview.... I did not even get through chapter 1. This was not for me, the language was too strong and offensive.
For some, it may be enjoyable, but not for me.
I saw this movie many years ago, so when I saw the book it was a no-brainer to purchase. The book, as is normally the case, was so much more enjoyable than the movie. I was surprised at just how true to the book the movie was though.
The story itself will make you angry at times but shows the power of a child's love and trust toward a parent.
The narrator was good, I didn't like her imitation of the small child voice but other than that I found the narration to be good, the story entertaining and overall it was a good book.
I would recommend if you are looking for something different on a long drive.
I have a collection of the Peter Pan books that my son and I have listened to or read. We enjoy them. This one was very short. It was entertaining but compared to the others it was just ok. Good, but not Great.
Martin Luther has always fascinated me... His faith, his commitment, his tenacity - what an impact he had as he allowed God to use him. I love his story and thoroughly enjoyed this brief account of his encounter before the King when he was forced to recant his writings or face the consequences. I only pray that my conviction can be a portion of his...and as he said, I pray I can testify as well "My conscious is captive to the Word of God... Here I stand!"

Sweetness and Power: The Place of Sugar in Modern History
In this book the author shows how Europeans and Americans transformed sugar from a rare foreign luxury to a commonplace necessity of modern life, and how it changed the history of capitalism and industry. He discusses the production and consumption of sugar, and reveals how closely interwoven are sugar's origins as a "slave" crop grown in Europe's tropical colonies with its use first as an extravagant luxury for the aristocracy, then as a staple of the diet of the new industrial proletariat. Finally, he considers how sugar has altered work patterns, eating habits, and our diet in modern times.

A consistent schedule may also help decrease daytime sleepiness.Inconsistent bedtimes and wake-up times make people prone to various diseases.
Don't take daytime naps
Daytime naps make it challenging to fall asleep at night time. Undoubtedly, daytime naps make you feel refreshed, but they should not exceed more than twenty minutes.
Longer naps may awaken you at night and disturb your sleeping schedule. It would be best to avoid daytime naps and increase the sleep debt.
We need a particular amount of sleep every night. Taking a nap of 1 or 2 hours a day reduces the quantity of sleep you need the following night. It can lead to sleep fragmentation, cause problems in falling asleep, and deteriorate sleep quality. You can keep yourself busy to avoid daytime naps. It is one of the best sleep hygiene techniques for improving sleep quality.
More exposure to bright light during the day
Do you know your body has a circadian rhythm? It means a natural time-keeping clock that regulates your daily routine, like when to stay away and when it's time to sleep.
Sunlight helps to keep your natural time-keeping clock healthy. It enhances the person's energy in the daytime and sleep quality at night.
Besides this, bright light or sunlight exposure enhance the production of the brain hormone serotonin. This hormone helps the person stay calm and concentrated. If you cannot take sunlight every day, get an artificial bright light device or bulbs. This sleep hygiene practice can help you keep awake in the daytime and fall asleep at the right time during the night.
Peace is bedroom bliss
As per research, around 75% of people require a peaceful environment while going to bed. They think that quietness is essential for falling asleep fast and getting good sleep quality.

Melatonin hormone levels decide how quickly you will fall asleep. If it drops, it becomes problematic to fall asleep quickly. Blue light keeps you distracted and keeps your mind active. So it is better to keep your mobile phone aside 30 minutes before you go to sleep. Try this sleep hygiene techniques today and see how it will make a difference. Read Deep Restful Sleep.
Reduce your caffeine intake
When we wake up all night to finish an important assignment, we usually take caffeine help. Its effects last up to 3 to 7 hours after its consumption.
High caffeine consumption decreases the amount of sound sleep you require to be healthy. As per studies, if you consume caffeine 6 hours before bedtime, it lessens total sleep time by 1 hour. These outcomes also can be more substantial in older adults. So cutting your caffeine intake can help you get better sleep at night. It is a good sleep habits if you add it to your everyday routine.
Avoid late-evening meals
Have you enjoyed Christmas dinner recently? Then you must have an idea of how late evening meals can influence your sleep.
If you are having a large meal tight to your bedtime, it affects your sleep quality. Late-night feeds impact the production of hormones like HGH and melatonin. But that doesn't mean that you have to avoid food completely. Instead of this, it is better to eat a proper portion and pick ingredients that will not affect your sleep negatively.
What is the cause of nightmares?
Nightmares not only disturb your sleep but also affect your mental health. There can be various reasons for nightmares:
- Daily stress or mental pressure can cause nightmares
- Sometimes a sudden shock to the mind leads to nightmares.
- The mental condition also plays a crucial role in it
- If you are on specific treatment and taking medicine for it, it can be a reason for a nightmare.
- Sometimes we watch horror movies or read books, which leaves an impression on our minds.
- If you are not getting enough sleep, it can cause a bad dream.
In such a situation, you should reduce your problem as soon as possible.
Sleep struggle is for real. If you didn't sleep well last night, it affects your following day. Nowadays, people are so engaged. They are mostly stuck at their mobile phone screens, affecting their sleep cycle and health. It is appropriate to prioritise your sleep over mobile phones and a tight schedule. We have introduced you to the best sleep hygiene techniques. Now it's your turn to mask all the bad habits with these good sleep habits.

*In the video, above, see how other local communities have been dealing with the aftermath of the winter storm*
AMHERST, Ohio (WJW) — This week’s winter storm dumped a lot of snow in parts of Northeast Ohio, leaving behind huge piles that may be tempting to play in.
But, a local police department has a warning before you bundle up and head out.
The Amherst Police Department provided safety tips on its Facebook page. One of the biggest warnings from police is: Do not climb on top of snow piles. Police say they can be unstable and “you can get trapped.”
Also, the department says do not build an igloo out of large snow piles or attempt to go through them.
And, with many residents still digging out from all the snow, police ask that people are aware of their surroundings and their children’s surroundings when shoveling or snow blowing.
Some areas of Northeast Ohio got up to two feet of snow when the winter storm hit Sunday night into Monday morning.

If you are curious about growing weed, you might be wondering Why Grow Hindu Kush Seeds. This article will cover the growing conditions for this strain and the Difficulty Levels. We will also talk about the Indoor and Outdoor Growing Options for this strain. The first thing you need to know is whether you are allowed to grow marijuana in your area. If you do, you can check with your local laws to make sure you can grow it.
Hindu Kush Grow Difficulty
Growing Hindu Kush is relatively simple. This cannabis strain grows like a weed, and will grow to about 1.5 meters outdoors. Indoors, Hindu Kush will rarely grow taller than a meter. To grow this strain successfully, it is important to keep its temperature between 70 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. The plants should be watered moderately and given adequate nutrients. Growing the plant in a hydroponic system requires a moderate watering schedule and good nutrients.
The full flowering phase of Hindu Kush is usually between forty and fifty percent of the plant’s height. This may be premature, as it reduces yield and potency. It takes around three to four weeks for a Hindu Kush plant to reach flowering stage. Once the plant is fully grown, you can harvest the buds from July to September. A feminized plant is generally mildew-resistant, but needs careful attention.
When it comes to purchasing seeds for your Hindu Kush plant, the best place to buy them is Sensi Seeds. This company has cultivated the genetics of the Hindu Kush plant since the 1980s. They sell regular seeds, feminised seeds, and automatic seeds. They also sell 10-packs. It’s important to know the exact type of seeds you’re buying. If you’re unsure, consider a variety that has a high THC content.
If you’re a beginner, you’ll likely want to start with soil. Growing hemp in soil can result in lower yields than a hydroponic system. If you’re looking for a higher yield, hydroponics is a good choice. However, you must know your marijuana cultivation process thoroughly before attempting to grow it in hydroponics. If you’re not sure how to use it, talk to a cannabis expert before trying this method.
Another great benefit of growing Hindu Kush marijuana is its ability to improve appetite. People suffering from wasting diseases and cancer can benefit from a higher appetite. A healthy weight allows the body to thrive and fight off wasting diseases. Growing marijuana is relatively easy, so it is not difficult to grow. It produces a dense, weed-like plant with large, sticky buds. Additionally, its purple leaves are the result of high anthocyanin levels, which occurs during the plant’s vegetative stage.
Hindu Kush Growing Conditions
Ideally, your garden should be well-lit and moderately watered. Hindu Kush seeds require about 18 hours of light per day to thrive. Unlike other cannabis plants, these seeds are resistant to mold, pests, and other diseases common to cannabis plants. This sativa-dominant variety is ideal for beginners and experienced growers alike. Read on for some growing tips for Hindu Kush seeds.
The EC levels in the soil should be in the mid-six-point range for Hindu Kush plants to flower. However, if you are in a hurry to harvest your plants, you may push them into flowering at a later stage, when they are only 12 to 15 inches tall. This will decrease your yield to three to four ounces per plant. Make sure that you monitor your plants regularly during flowering and harvest time.
The genetics of this strain are stable. They have been inbred by Sensi Seeds over generations to achieve a stable uniform plant. This variety also exhibits the unique traits of indica marijuana. Its flavor profile is balanced with hints of lemon, pine, and oak wood. Its compact growth pattern and wide-fingered leaves are characteristics of an indica plant. As a result, it can be grown successfully in either indoor or outdoor conditions.
Grow the Hindu Kush outdoors or indoors. It takes approximately seven to eight weeks to flower. It yields about 14 ounces per plant in the greenhouse and seventeen ounces per plant outdoors. Grow Hindu Kush outdoors for maximum yields. It does well indoors and outdoors, as long as the humidity level is low. It is easy to grow and will produce large, resinous buds. So, if you’re a veteran grower, consider growing the Hindu Kush.
The Hindu Kush is a trouble-free indica. It evolved to survive in the rough mountain conditions of Hindu Kush. Its latitude is similar to that of southern Spain. Its climate includes short springs, hot summers with high UV levels, short autumns, and long, snowy winters. It is hardy and tolerant of fungus, pesticides, and water. It is also a good choice for inexperienced gardeners.
Hindu Kush Seeds Indoor Growing
Before you begin to grow your plants indoors, you must be certain that the climate is suitable for the cultivation of Hindu Kush. The best growing conditions are 60 to 70% humidity, temperatures around seventy degrees Fahrenheit, and a minimum light of two hundred and fifty watts (CFLs). Your plants will require more light as they grow, so be sure to adjust your lighting accordingly. For the best results, plant your Hindu Kush seeds in a well-ventilated room, where there is 18 hours of light per day.
One of the benefits of Hindu Kush is that it fights several painful conditions, including arthritis and muscle spasms. In addition, this strain is great for reducing high blood pressure and lowering nausea. It is also beneficial to those suffering from cancer, as it helps them to regain their appetite. This strain is available in feminized seed packs. This is a great choice for people who prefer to grow indoors.
The most important feature of Hindu Kush is its aroma. Its aroma is earthy, floral, and pungent. It’s reminiscent of fresh pine cones in the woods and is often compared to spice. Its taste is distinctly different. The bud itself is slightly creamy and reminiscent of freshly picked forest pine cones. If you want to grow a Hindu Kush indoors, make sure to choose a high-quality seed from a reputable source.
When choosing the right Hindu Kush seed for indoor growing, you must make sure to buy the feminized ones. They are the perfect choice if you want to have a female plant that doesn’t need as much light. This strain is 100% indica and can be grown indoors or outdoors. The yield depends on how well you cultivate it. The following guide will help you choose the right strain for indoor growing.
The Hindu Kush marijuana strain is the original strain of weed that is grown in the Hindu Mountains in Pakistan and Afghanistan. It is an indica, and is known for its potent, relaxing high. It is an excellent choice for indoor cultivation as it only needs 45-50 days to grow from seed to harvest. These plants are incredibly easy to grow, and are perfect for small indoor grow rooms. They require minimal space and only require a few light bulbs and a grow medium.
Hindu Kush Seeds Outdoor Growing
If you’re planning on growing marijuana outdoors, you might be wondering where to buy Hindu Kush seeds. These seeds have been commercialized by Sensi Seeds, a legendary Dutch seed bank. This strain is a pure indica that provides growers with robust traits and a mystical, physically relaxing high. In fact, Hindu Kush seeds are the foundation of most modern cannabis hybrids. They are easy to grow and manage and produce high-quality plants, both indoors and outdoors.
You can start off by growing Hindu Kush seeds indoors or outdoors. The best growing conditions for these seeds are sixty to seventy percent humidity and temperatures between sixty and seventy degrees Fahrenheit. They will also benefit from a 250-watt CFL for extra light. After germination, your plants will grow tall and bushy and will need more light as they mature. When growing in an outdoor space, you may want to consider a hydroponics system, but be aware that you’ll need to know the basics of marijuana cultivation to be able to do it.
In order to get the maximum yield from your plants, you should water them moderately. Feed them with nutrients and provide adequate light. The Sea of Green method is another growing method. It allows you to grow a large number of plants in a short period of time. This method is called Sea of Green because of the large number of plants it produces. Moreover, it also gives you a larger harvest than growing a single large plant.
Another reason to grow Hindu Kush outdoors is the fact that this strain grows in dense, bushy canopies. This means it can fit into a small space and is easy to grow. Indoors, it prefers a dry climate with low humidity. It is best to grow Hindu Kush in a dry climate with temperatures between 65 and eighty degrees Fahrenheit. It can grow well both indoors and outdoors, so long as you keep the humidity low.
The full-blooded indica plant will remain compact and stout, with a 45-day flowering period. This makes it ideal for short indoor finishing in small spaces. This strain may not produce high yields, but you can expect to get over 16 ounces per plant by extending its veg cycle. Harvesting will occur in late September or early October. For those who enjoy cannabis as a medicinal, it can be an excellent choice.

Drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) has lent urgency to finding new drug leads with novel modes of action. A high-throughput screening campaign of >65,000 actinomycete extracts for inhibition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis viability identified ecumicin, a macrocyclic tridecapeptide that exerts potent, selective bactericidal activity against M. tuberculosis in vitro, including nonreplicating cells. Ecumicin retains activity against isolated multiple-drug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains of M. tuberculosis. The subcutaneous administration to mice of ecumicin in a micellar formulation at 20 mg/kg body weight resulted in plasma and lung exposures exceeding the MIC. Complete inhibition of M. tuberculosis growth in the lungs of mice was achieved following 12 doses at 20 or 32 mg/kg. Genome mining of lab-generated, spontaneous ecumicin-resistant M. tuberculosis strains identified the ClpC1 ATPase complex as the putative target, and this was confirmed by a drug affinity response test. ClpC1 functions in protein breakdown with the ClpP1P2 protease complex. Ecumicin markedly enhanced the ATPase activity of wild-type (WT) ClpC1 but prevented activation of proteolysis by ClpC1. Less stimulation was observed with ClpC1 from ecumicin-resistant mutants. Thus, ClpC1 is a valid drug target against M. tuberculosis, and ecumicin may serve as a lead compound for anti-TB drug development.

I have been an avid hunter of North American game for 50 years and had some trepidation about this experience being a “real hunt”. Then to further add to my trepidation upon arrival, entering the game reserve viewing vast herds indifferent to us did not alleviate my uneasiness at first. Once the hunting got underway I could see this was real hunting with a PH and tracker that knew exactly what they were doing.
Every stalk was a long and memorable experience which I have indelibly sketched into my memory. No animals peacefully grazing in easy range for sure! I was excited on every stalk, but Greg and Bless where just as excited as I was and the planning and thought that went into every stalk illustrated clearly their experience and natural instincts. They were not afraid to work hard on every hunt and not afraid to push me. Doing what we needed to do to be successful.
In many cases decisions needed to be made quickly and most shots were long and many in windy conditions off sticks. Two memorable shots were a Kudu stalk of a couple of hours and, even then, he was still 355 yards when we peeked over a bluff and there was no getting closer. The tracker was keeping tabs on the big boy from 1200 yards out – where Greg’s keen eyes had spotted him in some brush. Ultimately it was matter of fact “take your time and make the shot”. I really appreciated the confidence and the permission which was pervasive throughout the trip. The permission was only withheld by “we can do better” or that shot is just too risky.

A recent study evaluating the use of CAE software – of which EPLAN products are leading examples – revealed that engineering companies could typically achieve time savings of 25%, and sometimes as much as 50%, by partially automating engineering processes. In other words, with a relatively modest investment, manufacturers can reap serious benefits.

A recent eight-month field study carried out by E4TC examined a total of ten process steps for engineering in machine manufacturing and created a workflow model that contains the typical work steps of the production cycle: engineering, design, bills of materials, reports, control cabinet layout, devices and templates.
The path to higher efficiencies in the value chain was mapped out using established methods, going from standardisation through to automation. To evaluate the efficiency of each work step, the study examined the workflow methodology at five different “eLevels”.
One important conclusion was that standardisation of devices and design templates (equivalent to moving to eLevel3) can save 50 percent of the time required to create schematic diagrams. What’s more, by going further and moving to partial automation (eLevel4), an additional 25 percent of the time can be saved.
Using the data they collected, the researchers found that that engineering companies can become 20% more efficient by moving from one eLevel to the next eLevel, and that device-oriented working methods bring a 25% time saving for schematic creation. These time savings, which result from the use of CAE systems, translate into cost reductions that can significantly enhance profitability. The study further showed that the key to higher efficiency in engineering lies in the division of labour into order processing and data generation for standardisation.
Comprehensive digital engineering documents that include schematics and 3D control cabinet designs – known as digital twins – enable considerable optimisation in manufacturing. This potential is very well illustrated in the document “Control Cabinet Manufacturing 4.0” from the Institute for Control Engineering of Machine Tools and Manufacturing Units (ISW) at the University of Stuttgart.
To help customers achieve the benefits promised by Industry 4.0, EPLAN offers a portfolio of solutions that comprise the core elements for digitalisation. With scalable processes, companies can invest in Industry 4.0 to become completely and comprehensively digitalised across the entire value chain. This way, they can move to an Engineering 4.0-ready manufacturing environment that delivers efficiencies, saves money and improves their ecological credentials.

I have long hesitated to take up the topic of “fake news” here in the TV Blog for a couple of reasons.
For one thing, Donald Trump’s use of this phrase is not technically a TV-only subject, since the casual manner in which he bandies it about is meant to encompass all of the best-known mainstream news brands -- some TV, some not.
Generally speaking, his targets are The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, the broadcast networks, even Fox News Channel on occasion, and others.
This subject is discussed widely on TV, of course, and it’s also true that Trump’s use of the phrase gets replayed on TV in the context of these conversations. The speeches in which he levels these “fake news” accusations are aired widely too.
This whole “fake news” subject doesn’t originate with TV news either. As I understand it, “fake news” became codified as a “thing” during the presidential election campaign last year when dubious or downright false stories were disseminated on the Internet -- particularly on social media such as Facebook -- in order to discredit and/or cast doubt upon the candidates.
Cut to the present day and Trump, in his usual shallow and ill-considered way, has decided to take this phrase and apply it more or less universally to all “media.” He likely feels confident that his followers will buy what he’s saying, since that’s what they did all during the entirety of his campaign.
There have always been people willing to lap up what the Trumps of the world tell them to believe. Mencken coined a phrase to describe them -- the “booboisie.” They are apparently alive and well today.
Trump is so confident that his booboisie base will support him no matter what he says or does that he is now evolving from claims of “fake news” to labeling the entire news media as the “enemy of the American people.”
It used to be assumed in this country that no matter what its faults, the news apparatus -- protected as it is by the First Amendment -- is a necessary part of our civic life that, in its own unique way and at its best, exercises a “check” on government.
We have also long been aware that the news media frustrates various presidents and other public figures. Some of them might disdain or downright detest the press, but none that I can think of in my lifetime ever described the news media as some sort of public enemy -- like Capone or Dillinger or Osama Bin Laden.
As is customary for Trump, he has taken this phrase -- “fake news” -- and is now applying it to situations where it was never meant to be applied.
In my own consideration of “fake news,” I have long focused on the items that are presented on the Web sites of even the most “legitimate” news organizations that are often (but not always) labeled as “Sponsored Content” (or some variation such as “Paid Content”).
You know these stories. They often show a photo of a celebrity over some teaser copy like “You won’t believe what [so-and-so] looks like now!” Another example was one “story” that was in wide circulation recently that purported to report on stars who have had so much trouble getting acting jobs that they have had to -- heaven forbid -- take on real jobs.
Exhibit A was the actress Julia Stiles, who supposedly had resorted to waitressing, according to the teaser. Confirmation of this was nowhere to be found, however -- either by clicking on this “paid” content or searching elsewhere on Google.
To me, this is fake news -- the kind of stuff that we all used to assume without hesitation was fake when we would encounter it in the supermarket checkout line. Elvis is still alive? Funny headline, but there is no way that’s true, right?
The thing is, ordinary people -- that is, people who do not work in the news business or otherwise keep up with it in any way -- often don’t know fake news from real news.
I remember once when I was the TV editor at a New York newspaper, a woman called one day to ask if WCBS-TV was the CBS station. And I realized then that we newspeople take our readers’ (and viewers’ and listeners’) knowledge of what we cover too much for granted.
Perhaps a renewed emphasis on teaching civics in our nation’s schools could help many people in this country to better understand the vital role the news media plays in our democracy.
Trump could probably benefit also from some instruction in this area. Don’t hold your breath waiting for that to happen.

Cannabis use prevalence among individuals with diabetes: The National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 2005-2018.
Drug Alcohol Depend. 2020 May 15;212:108035
Authors: Sexton TR, Alshaarawy O
BACKGROUND: The aim of the current study is to estimate cannabis use prevalence among individuals with diabetes participating in the United States (US) National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), 2005-2018. Plausible biological mechanisms link cannabis use and metabolic regulation. Cannabis use can also alter perception and adherence to treatment especially among patients with insulin-dependent diabetes.
METHODS: The NSDUH is designed to select and recruit, annually, a representative sample of the non-institutionalized US population (12+ years). Computer-assisted self-interviews gathered information on cannabis use. The current study sample included 30,915 participants who self-reported a physician diagnosis of diabetes.
RESULTS: Prevalence of past 30-day cannabis use increased 340% among individuals with diabetes, from 1.7% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.1, 2.6) in 2005 to 5.8% (95% CI = 4.7, 7.1) in 2018. Results from the logistic regression model indicated that this increase was robust (odds ratio of cannabis use per NSDUH year = 1.13; 95% CI = 1.10, 1.15). The increase was observed among different sociodemographic subgroups and in states with or without medical cannabis laws.
CONCLUSIONS: As cannabis use prevalence increases, screening for use among diabetes patients is needed to optimize outcomes and reduce potential adverse effects.

The second session of the 61st Wyoming Legislature will convene on Monday, Feb. 13 in Cheyenne. The session is expected to continue through the first week of March. This is a “budget session” and will place priority on issues related to the 2013-14 budget.
“Starting on Monday we will hear the state of the State from the governor and from the judiciary branch,” explained Rep. Elaine Harvey, of Lovell. “Basically, we’ll get an overview of the State, which will all be broadcast on PBS for the public to hear as well.”
The introduction of bills will begin that afternoon, starting with a very brief introduction of bills, where only two minutes of speaking time is allowed, followed by two rounds of 30 second questions. The introducer of the bill is allowed one minute to answer each of the two questions.
“The introduction of a bill is followed by a roll call vote where two-thirds of the people in the house have to approve that this bill is worthy of our time during the budget session,” explained Harvey. “That is a vote that determines if we are going to hear the bill or not.”
Most of the first week of the session will be focused on the introduction of bills. Bills that are voted to be heard will then be assigned to committees and will go through a committee hearing. It then goes to the floor for a first, second and third reading, where it is voted on and possibly amended. Harvey estimates that around 300 House bills will be heard and discussed at length during this legislative session before going to the Senate for a vote and on to the governor.
According to Harvey, the big issues this session include redistricting, school accountability, state budget cuts, and external cost adjustments for schools. As chairman of the Labor, Health and Social Services Committee, she will be presenting three bills having to do with refinements to existing labor related programs and to the work her committee is doing to create a health insurance exchange for the state.
Follow the legislative session at www.legisweb.state.wy.us. To contact Harvey during the session email her at email@example.com. Harvey receives over 500 emails per day but gives priority in answering emails from her constituents.

Steel component provider Ljungstrӧm has signed a contract with Riggs Distler & Company, Inc. to provide specialized structural steelwork for an offshore wind project.
Ocean Wind I, New Jersey's first offshore wind project developed by the Danish offshore wind farm developer Ørsted, will be located 15 miles off the coast of Southern New Jersey. The 1,100 MW project will generate enough electricity to power the equivalent of more than 500,000 households. The offshore wind farm is expected to begin commercial operations in 2025.
"We are thrilled to support our valuable partner, Riggs Distler, with another offshore wind farm project utilizing our strong manufacturing capabilities and highly skilled workforce", says Matt Ferris, Managing Director, Ljungstrӧm USA.
With this additional project, Ljungstrӧm has structural component orders for over 2,800 MW of offshore wind capacity, and these deliveries for the Ocean Wind I project will be made to Ørsted's offshore wind advanced foundation component center at Tradepoint Atlantic in Maryland, where Riggs Distler will employ more than 125 skilled tradesmen and women from local labor unions to assemble the components.
Ljungstrӧm describes itself as the first U.S.-based supplier of secondary structural steel components for the U.S. offshore wind industry.
"Being one of the essential suppliers to Sunrise Wind, Revolution Wind, South Fork Wind, and now Ocean Wind I, Ljungstrӧm proves its leadership in high-quality fabrication, assembly, coating and shipping components that are essential to the wind turbine foundations," the company said.
Ljungstrӧm, a division of ARVOS Group, said this week it continued to further expand its workforce and manufacturing capabilities at its facility in Wellsville, New York.
