The Special Adviser to Lagos State Governor on Housing, Mrs Toke Benson-Awoyinka, has said investors and other stakeholders in the built sector can now heave a sigh of relief from fraud, following the recent passage of a law for real estate practitioners by the state House of Assembly.
Mrs Benson-Awoyinka stated this during a Stakeholders Engagement organised by the Lagos State Real Estate Regulatory Authority, (LASRERA) in Victoria Island.
It had as theme: “Redefining opportunities in real estate: regulations and expectations’’.
According to her, the government is ready to curb fraud with the right laws and regulations in line with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s T.H.E.M.E.S Agenda of making Lagos State a 21st Century Economy.
The Special Adviser said while LASRERA and its stakeholders were awaiting the governor’s assent to the new law, it was necessary to further engage practitioners on the law.
She advised the practitioners to explore the opportunities in the industry.
“The overall intention for this stakeholders forum is for participants to learn new skills for upscaling their businesses.
Mrs Benson-Awoyinka said: “The real estate industry has visible and invisible untapped opportunities that can positively impact on the businesses of estate agents and other investors in the industry.’’
The Special Adviser assured the stakeholders that there would be transparency in the industry, adding that all hands must be on deck to tackle the challenges and alleviate the fears of the public and investors.
On the LASRERA Bill (The Benefits& Impact), the state Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Moyo Onigbanjo (SAN), clarified that the intention of the law is not to regulate the practitioners as the real estate already has a body doing that.
Rather, he added, that the law became necessary to curb fraud in the sector and assure investors of a fair deal to promote ease of doing business.
His words: “We’re interested in securing the transactions of investors and providing necessary support for all relevant stakeholders in the real estate industry, hence the passage of the new LASRERA law by the legislative arm of the state government.
The keynote speaker, Mr Gboyega Fatimilehin, who spoke on the topic “Real estate regulation as it affects estate agency”, said countries with regulation in the sector and its services were better able to attract investors.
“This allows for a transparent and effective functioning of the sector and gives the regulators (or government) the financial and administrative independence to aid in the regulations which reassures investors.
” A well-regulated, fully-functioning, and transparent real estate market can be a very important factor in the growth of a nation’s economy. A market that is settled, predictable and trusted can experience high levels of growth and investment.”
Fatimilehin stated:“This is a hindrance to investment in the sector in terms of the local capital and foreign direct investment, which is required to address the shortage of adequate real estate products in our market.”
The guest speaker, Mr Afolabi Balogun, Managing Partner, Libra Law, averred that most times banks are the major challenge with the foreclosure of mortgaged property, due to proper documentation by the bank.
He explained that Foreclosure Clause and redemption of mortgage is governed by Provision of Order 55 Rule of the High Court of Lagos State Civil (Procedure)Rules 2019.
He said this requires banks to only file originating summons and furnish the court with particulars of the debt, but that most times banks do not do that.
Balogun stated that banks should be more diligent to enable courts to speed up.

Operation GUR MO was very similar to operation “Diamond” conducted in 1966 by the Israeli Mossad< /p>
GUR MOU conducted a special operation, as a result of which a Russian helicopter ended up on the territory of Ukraine.
This was reported by the author of the series of documentaries “Military Intelligence of Ukraine” on FB. Armed Forces officer Artem Shevchenko.
One of these two officers from the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine – the developer and implementer of that unique six-month operation, which ended on August 9, 2023, with the flight to the Ukrainian-controlled territory of the Mi-8 AMTSH helicopter, flight number 62, from the 319th separate helicopter regiment, based at the Chernihivka airfield of the Primorsky Krai of the Russian Federation (military 13984) Kyrylo Budanov has already briefly told about this.
The same operation of the Ministry of Defense of the Ministry of Defense under the code name “Tinytsia” was very similar to operation “Diamond”, which was carried out in 1966 by the Israeli Mossad, convincing an Iraqi pilot to steal the most modern Soviet MiG-21 at that time.
This unique story of a correct Russian pilot, among several more tragic stories of incorrect Russian pilots, will be shown on Sunday, September 3, in the documentary film #збитильотчикироссии of the “Military Intelligence of Ukraine” cycle. in the TV marathon. Then on September 7, on the professional holiday of military intelligence, it will appear on the YouTube of GUR MO.

Inkster Police Officer Tony Squirewell got the goodies for being a Good Samaritan.
Squirewell was patrolling his area when he encountered a woman and her son stranded alongside Michigan Avenue.
With the mother running late for work, Squirewell called for a tow truck for the woman and paid the towing fee out of his own pocket so she wouldn’t be late.
Later Squirewell received a care package at the Inkster Police Department, thanking him for his kindness.
In it were cookies and a cake.
“As the community relations officer, the majority of my time is spent interacting with the community and helping to further the positive relationship between (police) and Inkster citizens,’’ said officer Andrea Lebo of the community relations unit. “I personally want to thank Tony Squirewell for helping me with that goal, one small act of kindness can go a long way and his actions are appreciated more than he can know.’’
Lebo went on to say: “Inkster residents often see us when we have to enforce the law and sometimes don’t think about the fact that were people under the uniform. We have families, friends, are kind and good people who have a job to do. I love when we can take a moment to shine a light on that fact, so many acts of kindness by Inkster officers go unrecognized and unheard of, I’m grateful that this time a citizen took the time to show their gratitude and bring it to everyone’s attention.’’

Warsaw (May. 17)
(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
Extraordinary measures will be taken by the Jewish community of Warsaw to prevent Jews from declaring themselves officially as atheists, it was decided at a special session of the Warsaw Rabbinate held yesterday.
The Rabbinate declared that from now on members of the Jewish community who file official papers to the effect that they are atheists will be considered as renegades and will be refused burial in the Jewish cemetery and denied other Jewish religious rites.
The decision was taken following reports submitted to the Rabbinate that in recent months, many declarations of atheism were made by community members. He was stated that the declarations were intended in order to secure exemption from the payment of the increased Kehillah tax, which is collected for the Jewish community by the Government.
A gift of 100,000 francs was made by Lucins N. Littaner to the Hospital St. Antoine of Paris, one of the oldest hospitals in Paris. A year ago M. Littaner gave a similar sum to promote research work for digestive disorders.

Products: Greek-themed ouzo and more
Say Opa! to cocktails with mini ouzo bottles dressed like the Greek gods and goddesses—Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, and more—and add some ancient mythology to your meze hour or hand out as party favors. Each guest can choose their favorite deity and celebrate life the Greek way. These minis are also available in traditional Greek costumes, heroes, and seasonal themes.
*Figgee (caffeine-free): made from pure organic roasted fig
*Mellow Mix (a little caffeine): half-caff fig and coffee 50/50 blend for the best of both worlds—roasted fig offsets the acid for a smooth robust taste.
We Greeks love our figs, but in coffee? Oh yes, and the taste will hook you! A satisfying coffee alternative (but you’d never guess!) that’s easy on the stomach with none of the bitterness or caffeine jitters, especially when you want a hot cup in the evening but don’t want to be up all night.
Made from figs, this brew is actually healthy for you with antioxidants, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and prebiotics.
Products: Plant-based milk, kid’s milk, half-and-half, protein shakes—all vegan, soy-, gluten-, lactose-, and nut-free
Love Greek foods made with milk but they don’t like you? We feel you! After testing recipes with a number of plant-based milks, we finally found one that’s a game changer. Ripple is so close to dairy milk that no one will ever guess you substituted it for the traditional beverage. This is pea-protein, plant-based, dairy-free milk that’s creamy, rich, and satisfying. It tastes, bakes, and cooks like milk with 8g of protein per serving (some recipes require the protein found in dairy but is lacking in most dairy-free milks) and 50% more calcium, more vitamin D, and just half the sugar of 2% dairy milk. Bonus, it’s delicious straight out of the glass!
SHOP (sold at Target and most supermarkets)
Products: Signature Chocolate Almonds, candies, truffles, themed chocolate (currently it’s a chocolate Graduation Owl customized with school colors and a Father’s Day collection that includes a Chocolate Tool Set and Whiskey-Caramel Golf Balls)
Family-owned, André’s is rooted in three generations of Swiss-trained confiseurs. While honoring their Swiss tradition, the family is known for bringing their personal passion, ingenuity, and pride to create distinctive chocolate experiences for the community that has made André’s a Kansas City gem for more than 65 years. One of our favorite distinctive chocolate experiences is André’s signature almonds, a crossover Greek staple made more exquisite with chocolate. Coufeta were never this delectable.
This confection features fresh roasted nonpareil almonds and premium cocoa, created using a multi-step process: Almonds are roasted to a golden brown, delicately caramelized then coated with André’s Signature Swiss milk chocolate (covered in powdered sugar) or dark chocolate (covered in cocoa powder). For the chocolate purist, there’s an extra-dark (80%) chocolate version. It's the ultimate amount of crunch and decadent chocolate coating.
Products: Dairy and vegan ice cream
Award-winning Noona’s was created in 2016, launching an Asian-American ice cream and dairy-free frozen desserts brand that incorporated classic Asian flavors into their recipes. We were pleasantly surprised to discover one of their flavors (Noona’s favorite) tasted uniquely Greek, their vegan Black Sesame (mavrosisamo, μαυροσíσαμο)—Nutty and bittersweet (with a hint of chocolate), the roasted organic black sesame seeds are stone ground into a paste and blended into fresh coconut cream (also available in a dairy version).
Noona’s dairy is sourced from humanely raised cows, is hormone- and antibiotic-free, and from farms in Upstate New York. All of their products contain whole foods and non-GMO ingredients. Vegan-friendly options are 100% vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free, and soy-free, made with organic coconut milk.
Products: Farm-fresh ice cream
Del’s, a small batch New York Hudson Valley creamery has created an exquisite collection of small-batch, farm-fresh ice creams that resemble the quality that, up until now, we could only find in Greece.
Get your kefi on with their Lavender Honey Blueberry, or explore the more exotic floral Hibiscus, Salted Caramel Stroopwafel, and Maple Snickerdoodle. For ice cream fun, there’s Peanut Butter Cup, Coffee Toffee, Lemon Poppyseed, and Mint Brownie Swirl. And to not leave out the more traditional, Dutchess Chocolate & Chip, Sweet Cream Vanilla, Cookies n’ Cream, and fresh-picked Strawberry are rich, bright, and fresh. Locally-sourced, fresh, and fabulous!
Many Greek/Mediterranean liquor shops carry the ouzo but if yours doesn’t, ask them if they can order it for you (or you can Google it). You can order most of the other products from the company websites or contact them for shopping info in your area.

Neville, go to school. And if you want to be an actor, go to acting school. Yeah, not the best of the bunch. And what a boring, predictable play full of ugly fourth rate actors. The main thing I took from it is where a buttonhole is on a man's lapel. Which is good, because I'd been getting it wrong on drawings all day. I still like Robert Duncan, he always plays Gus whether he's a confident fop, a hideous demon or a conflicted professor. Good old Andy Hamilton!

Verdict (Grand Opera House, York)
I went to see the Agatha Christie theatre company perform Verdict tonight, my main reason for going was that a couple of weeks ago I opened up the shop where I work to find a load of leaflets thrown all over the floor, printed on slippery cheap paper they had slid from the desk overnight. When I picked them up I saw Robert Duncan's grimacing old face staring back at me. Drop the Dead Donkey occupies I'd say 30% of my brain space, the character of Gus, played by Robert Duncan, occupies 80% of that 30% (the rest is Henry). So of course I had to see it! Even though plays I've seen starring Rob in the past have been abysmal I had to see it- plus Neville from the Harry Potter films was on the flyer too and he's quite cute.

HAGERSTOWN — Editor’s note: This is one in an series of profiles of candidates running for office in the April 3 primary election.
Cost containment and “figuring out a way for the city to pay for itself” are the top priorities for political newcomer Lauren “Larry” Bayer as he seeks a seat on the Hagerstown City Council in this year’s municipal elections.
“We definitely have to lower the tax rate,” he said. “It’s way, way too high compared to the rest of the state. We’ve got to attract more businesses with higher-paying jobs and at the same time we have to work on rejuvenating the downtown.”
Bayer, 61, of 1207 Hamilton Blvd., is one of six Republican candidates on the April 3 primary ballot. The top five vote-getters will advance to the Nov. 6 general election.
All five seats on the city council are up for grabs.
Bayer, who retired after being employed by the city for 30 years, said he would bring experience and a new perspective to the council, particularly in the area of budgeting.
“I understand the deeds of the city,” Bayer said. “I’ve worked with community groups since we started Neighborhoods 1st 10 years ago. I ran the Department of Community Development for seven years, so I’ve got a very good understanding of what we need to do as far as growth.”
As for Hagerstown’s downtown area, Bayer said the city has to develop a collaborative plan between the city, county and property owners.
It would take more than one thing to turn the downtown around, he said.
“It’s got to be a plan that people can rally around and support,” he said. “Once that’s developed, then we can start implementing it. If there was just one or two things you could do, it would have already been taken care of.”
With the future of the Hagerstown Suns up in the air, Bayer said he feels the city needs to do whatever it takes to keep the Class A Minor League team.
“We need to make Hagerstown a destination for people looking for housing, entertainment, recreation and jobs,” he said. “We can’t afford to let the Suns leave town. I would be in favor of doing upgrades at the stadium ... and I would be open to discussion of a new stadium.”
Bayer is a 1968 graduate of Smithsburg High School and earned an associate degree from Hagerstown Community College in 1976.
Bayer is on the GOP ballot in the primary with incumbent Forrest W. Easton, and challengers Jonathan R. Burrs, Jeffrey Coney, Chris Kelly and Don Munson.
City council members serve terms of four years, earn $8,000 annually and are eligible for city health benefits.

Nairobi/Montreal / Bonn, 8 May 2008 - "Renewing agricultural diversity of crops and livestock backed by a functional natural support system is the international community's best long-term solution to meet the global food challenge,"said Ahmed Djoghlaf, Executive Secretary of the Convention on Biological Diversity prior to the start of the global conference on biodiversity on 19 May 2008 in Bonn, Germany.
The meeting of 191 countries takes place at a time when the international community is faced with one of the most severe food crisis of modern history. The prices of basic staples-wheat, corn, rice-are at record highs, and global food stocks are at historical lows. Indeed, one of the most important challenges facing mankind is to feed a growing population in an increasingly urbanized world confronted with the combined impacts of climate change and the unprecedented loss of biodiversity.
The renewal of agricultural biological diversity, including ways to address the adverse effects of climate change, is among the main issues for discussion at the two-week conference. "Agriculture is considered a prime example of how human activities profoundly impact the ecological functioning of the planet," said Dr. Djoghlaf. "During the past 50 years, humans have altered ecosystems more rapidly and extensively than in any other period in human history. Indeed, more land was converted to cropland during the last fifty years than in the previous two centuries. This is why the issue of biodiversity and agriculture is on the agenda of the Bonn conference and is the theme for this year's International Day for Biological Diversity, which will be celebrated throughout the world on 22 May."
Since the dawn of history, humans have used more than 7,000 plant species to satisfy their needs. During the last 100 years, seventy-five per cent of the food-crop varieties we once grew are no longer cultivated. Today, we rely on just three-wheat, rice and maize-for over two thirds of our calories. This increased dependency on limited biological diversity drastically escalates the global risk that it may be impossible to sustain future food supplies for a growing population in a warmer planet. As stated by Mr. Djoghlaf, "The unfolding food crisis is a symptom of a much more profound problem."
The Bonn biodiversity meeting will also address the accelerated rate of deforestation. According to Mr. Djoghlaf, "Every minute, 20 hectares of forests are disappearing. Every year more than 10 million hectares of forests are destroyed. However, 80% of biodiversity is found in forests, especially tropical forests."
The conference takes place two years before the deadline for achieving the 2010 biodiversity target, adopted in 2002 by 110 Heads of State and Government, of significantly reducing the rate of biodiversity loss at the global and national level by 2010, as a contribution to poverty alleviation and to the benefit of all life on Earth. The participants will also agree on a road map to finalize, by 2010, the negotiation of an agreed set of rules on access to genetic resources and sharing of the benefits derived from their utilization. The "International regime on access to genetic resources and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising out of their utilization" will be a major tool for ensuring the successful implementation of the Millennium development Goals and eradicating poverty.
Achim Steiner, United Nations Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), said: "Our planet has witnessed five mass extinctions over the millions of years of life on Earth. A sixth is currently under way, driven for the first time in history by mainly human impacts. Over the coming decades the pace of loss of species could rise to 1,000 to 10,000 times the background rate. This is nothing less than asset-stripping of the globe's natural and nature-based capital-from forests and coral reefs to river systems and soils."
"There are many shining examples of intelligent management of the planet's nature-based resources. The time has come to accelerate and replicate them across the globe backed by sufficient finance, creative market mechanisms, the strengthening of efforts to achieve the three objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity, including access to genetic resources and benefit sharing, and a new sense of urgency. In Bali, we had a breakthrough on climate change. In Bonn, we need nothing less than a breakthrough on biodiversity," he said.
Brunei Darussalam, one of the richest countries in terms of biodiversity, will be welcomed by the expected 6,000 participants to the Bonn biodiversity meeting as the 191st Party to the Convention.
The meeting will also be attended by Heads of State and Government, and an unprecedented number of ministers of the environment are also expected, together with representatives of Governments, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, indigenous and local communities, youth, mayors, parliamentarians, and the scientific, media and business communities. The proceedings of the meeting will be broadcast live over the Web and can be accessed through the CBD website (www.cbd.int).
The Bonn meeting will be concluded by the convening of a Global Ministerial Forum with the expected participation of more than 100 ministers. This meeting will be opened by German Federal Chancellor Ms Angela Merkel with the participation of other Heads of State and Government. At this session, the German Government is expected to announce a specific commitment for preserving biological diversity and ecological systems titled the "Life Web Initiative." This will be followed by an invitation to all Governments for making similar concrete commitments. "Germany has established a Nature Alliance, and we hope that the Bonn meeting will be remembered as the cradle of a universal global alliance for protecting life on Earth," said Mr. Djoghlaf.
"The purpose of this initiative is to match voluntary commitments for the designation of new protected areas and improved management of existing areas with commitments for dedicated financing of these areas," said Mr. Sigmar Gabriel, Germany's Federal Minister for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety.
He added that: "Progress in establishing a global network of protected areas is, in our view, one of the key topics of the ninth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity. The network of protected areas is one of the central instruments for halting the dramatic global loss of species and habitats and for providing a solid basis for the conservation of natural resources. Intact habitats such as forests, wetlands and coral reefs are also important sinks for climate gases and play a fundamental role in the natural regulation of the climate. Conserving habitats is active climate protection."
The Convention describes protected areas as a geographically defined area managed primarily to achieve specific conservation objectives, and considers them an important stock of natural and cultural capital, yielding flows of economically valuable goods and services that benefit human populations.
In the words of Marina Silva, President of the eighth meeting of the Conference of the Parties, held in Curitiba, Brazil, in 2006 and Minister of the Environment of Brazil: "Two years ago in Curitiba, a new phase of enhanced implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity was born. The Bonn biodiversity meeting should be a milestone in a new phase of enhanced commitment to the implementation of the three objectives of the Convention, including tangible progress in the negotiations towards the Bonn compact for the adoption of an international regime on access to genetic resources and benefit-sharing"
The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)
Opened for signature at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, the Convention on Biological Diversity is an international treaty for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and the equitable sharing of the benefits from utilization of genetic resources. With 191 Parties, the CBD has near-universal participation among countries committed to preserving life on Earth. The CBD seeks to address all threats to biodiversity and ecosystem services, including threats from climate change, through scientific assessments, the development of tools, incentives and processes, the transfer of technologies and good practices and the full and active involvement of relevant stakeholders including indigenous and local communities, youth, NGOs, women and the business community. The headquarters of the Secretariat of the Convention are located in Montreal,. For additional information, please contact Marie Aminata Khan at +1 514 287 8701; email: firstname.lastname@example.org

Orange Cat Co Photography is One!
A year ago today I received my business license from Kansas City and Orange Cat Co Photography was born. What started out back in Maine as a hobby to take portraits for family and friends has grown into a wonderful small business. My love for photography is ultimately led me to start Orange Cat Co. I had no idea that my little business would bring me to some of the most beautiful locations in Kansas City. By far, my favorite thing about being a photographer is the people that I have had the pleasure of meeting over the last year. Newly engaged couples, authors, businessmen, children, and families have allowed me into their world for an hour to capture the smiles, hugs, giggles, and laughter. Each client has an amazing story to tell or accomplishment to celebrate. With so much negativity in the world, it is such an honor to have a job where I get to celebrate the little things.
Happy first birthday Orange Cat Co Photography. Here's to many, many more!
Munford, TN Couples Photography
What do you get when you combine a gorgeous country road, late fall sun, cozy flannel, an adorable pup, and a beautiful couple? Fall portrait perfection. A special thank you to my sister for inviting me to southwestern Tennessee for an amazing weekend of country roads, antiquing, and cotton fields. I wish the two of you all the best! See you again soon!
Kansas City, MO Family Photography
Ms. C had a simple request for her portraits with her son. She wanted to have fall foliage. Our original photography session was supposed to be in early October, but Mother Nature decided to throw a wrench in that plan and the trees were still green. Between Mother Nature's complete lack of cooperation and scheduling conflicts, we were finally able to get together for a photography session in mid-November. By pure coincidence, we happened to choose the weekend the gingko trees were at peak color. I believe this is what they mean by "happy accident"?
Liberty, MO Family Photography
I was very excited to meet up with the S family in downtown Liberty for a sisters photography session. As you can see from the portraits, all three girls are naturally photogenic and it was so fun to walk around Liberty to take advantage of all of the different backdrops. The weather could not have been more perfect, one of the last "shorts days" of late summer.
Kansas City, MO Family Portraits
I met up with the K family at Liberty Memorial to take family portraits with a skyline view. It was a beautiful fall day with clear blue skies. The boys were a bit skeptical of me at first; understandably so, it is much more fun to roll down hills and make funny faces than it is to stand still and smile for your picture. With a little compromise, some mild bribery, and a lot of giggles we were able to complete the photography session. Overall, this was such a fun session with genuine smiles and love.
Parkville, MO Family Portraits
There are few things better than a warm, sunny day in early fall. I met up with the A family on a perfect early fall day at English Landing Park in Parkville, MO. We were able to get a few portraits by the river before little T decided he was done sitting still. Fortunately, mom and dad had plenty of tricks in mind to keep him entertained and there was a playground to explore! The A family was so fun to work with, and I love all the toddler giggles we were able to capture. I hope they look back on these portraits with smile as T grows up.
Vendor Fair Bound!
I am very happy to announce that Orange Cat Co Photography will participating in it's first vendor fair on Sunday, October 31st at MIC Nutrition in Independence, MO. I will be selling matted prints of my landscape portraits, as well as gift certificates and photography sessions. If all goes well, I will be offering larger prints and possibly canvases in the near future.
If you are in the Independence area, please stop in for the opportunity to support a variety of local small businesses, and while you are there, feel free to stop by the table with the orange table cloth to say hello!
And just like that, it's time to put away our bathing suits and pull out the hoodies. Fall is here! We turned of our air conditioning a couple of day ago, opting for open windows to welcome in the cool autumn air. Soon the leaves will start to change, providing a beautiful backdrop for family portraits!
I am currently mostly booked for October and now booking for November/ December. If you schedule your photography session for before November 15th, your digital portraits will be ready in time to order holiday cards. Framed family portraits and canvases also make wonderful holiday gifts.
Orange Cat Co Photography now offers headshot photography!
Headshots provide an excellent first impression for potential clients or job hunters. Establish a tone of professionalism and confidence on your web site, LinkedIn profile, or work space. Headshot photography packages include a 30-minute photography session in the location of your choice, 10 edited digital images in color or black and white, an online gallery, 5x7 print, and a digital image optimized for LinkedIn.
For more information, please fill out the contact form on the bottom of the page!
Concordia, MO Family Photographer
I had a hunch this was going to be an amazing photography session the moment A reached out to me with a request to take family portraits at the family farm. I was not disappointed. The farm had a variety of gorgeous backdrops to choose from, and A's brother joined in on the fun by providing a tractor as a prop. Such a fun family to work with, I just wish the storms would have had other plans. That's summer in the mid-west for you!

Vulcan Naming Dominates Small Town Market
The town of Vulcan in Calgary is appealing for the order to beam up the new Star Trek movie premier.
The town has already gone to some lengths to cash in on its trekkie friendly naming - one of the main characters in the Star Trek series is Spock, a Vulcan from the fictional planet Vulcan. Vulcan, Calgary currently has a Vulcan convention, its own Star Ship and a city welcoming plaque written in English, Vulcan, and Klingon.
What is really intriguing is that the word Vulcan originated right here on earth.
In Roman mythology, Vulcanus (or Volcanus) was the god of fire and metal working. Vulcanus was later applied to the erupting Mt. Etna by the Romans who believed it to be the fiery forge of this blacksmith god.
The name Vulcan is an abbreviation of Vulcanus and our English word, volcano, shares the same Roman roots.
Vulcan is clearly a word that can carry a great deal of meaning for trekkies and non-trekkies alike and it is always fascinating to see how a word can evolve over time into new meanings and marketing ideas.

ATMs -- ATMs are located outside most banks, in malls and service stations, and at the airport. Most banks will also change dollars to córdobas. There are bank branches all over the city, in particular, around Plaza España (also known as Rotonda El Güegüense), along with casual street changers (known as coyotes) who actually give better rates and a faster service with no passport required. Banpro (Edificio Malaga, Plaza España; tel. 505/2266-0069) and Bancentro, 1 block south of Rotonda El Güegüense (tel. 505/2268-5013), are two conveniently located banks.
Drugstores -- Farmacia 24 Horas, 150m (492 ft.) east of Rotonda Bello Horizonte (tel. 505/2240-06233), is good for any late-night pharmacy emergencies. Farmacia 5 Estrellas, 3 1/2 blocks north of Semáforo El Colonial (tel. 505/2248-8026), is an option closer to the center.
Emergencies -- The main headquarters of the Policía Nacional (tel. 505/2277-4130) are situated in the Edificio Faustino Ruiz, Plaza del Sol. For emergencies, dial tel. 118.
Hospitals -- Hospital Metropolitano Vivian Pellas (Carretera Masaya Km 9.7; tel. 505/2255-6900; www.metropolitano.com.ni) is the city's most modern (it was built in 2004) and best-equipped hospital. Hospital Bautista, 2 blocks south of Casa RMA (Barrio Largaespada; tel. 505/2249-7070), also has a good reputation.
Internet -- Internet cafes are dotted all around the city, but if you have trouble locating one, just head to any of the malls that dot the city. iMac Center, 1 block east and 1/2 block south of the Semáforo UCA (tel. 505/2270-5918), offers cheap internet for C30 an hour. It is open daily from 8am to 8pm. Cyber City, in front of UCA (tel. 505/2604-7416), is another good place, as is the modern and comfortable Cyber, on the ground floor of Plaza Inter. They both charge C40 an hour and are open daily 10am to 10pm. Laundry -- Most hotels and hostels will arrange laundry service for a price. Dryclean USA (tel. 505/2270-1107) has branches all over the city. One is close to Plaza Bolonia, behind Santa Fe Steakhouse. Another is at Carretera Masaya Km 3.5.
Post Office -- The grandly titled main post office, Palacio de Correos (tel. 505/2222-2048), is 2 blocks west of the Plaza de la República in the former Enitel building. Here, you'll also find an excellent philatelist store.

The proper definition of propagation is ‘to spread or multiply’. To anyone who grows plants, indeed to the plants themselves, this is the means by which new plants are born. In Nature, plants propagate themselves to continue the species. To our cultivated minds this is where weeds come from in the yard or outdoor garden, literally springing up anywhere and always where we don’t want them. But those infiltrators wouldn’t be growing there if the perfect conditions for them to thrive wasn’t present.
Growing food outdoors means propagating your garden with seed sown in rows and plant starts purchased in cell paks at the local greenhouse or garden center. The greenhouse you frequent for spring planting supplies has to start those ready to make food liner plants somehow. There are a variety of ways they do this and the very same ways that you’ll get the starter plants for your indoor garden.
The most common method of propagating is growing plants from seed. Open pollinated and heirloom varieties of fruits, vegetables and herbs can all be grown from seed you collect and save for starting a new crop. Hybrids however will not faithfully reproduce from seed unless you know some tricks, and even then you risk not having the new plants be true to the variety you collected seed from 100% of the time. Rather than relying on the practice of pollination that is used to reproduce seed for hybrid plants, as a novice you have some more reliable options.
You can grow new plants using cloning methods. There is the simple method of rooting cuttings and the more complex and clinical method known as tissue culture. Tissue culture is very cool, but also very delicate and not something that most gardeners will want to try. So, if you want to propagate more new plants from hybrid varieties, you would resort to the cuttings method.
No matter how you go about propagating new plants for your garden, you have to provide the best conditions for the crop. Just like those weeds that drive you nuts, desirable plants only perform at an ultimate level when you give them what they want. Too hot or too cold, too dark or too sunny, too wet or too dry… and you’ve got problems or crop failure before you really get started. So its really important to research what your chosen plant types need at the first stage of their life.
Generally, all seeds sprout outdoors – whether wild or cultivated – in the cooler, moist days of spring. Start your seed too late and your plants will fail to thrive. Why? Because summer is hotter, dryer and the sun is up longer as well as more intense. Infantile seedlings have fragile roots and leaves, not too mention have not developed a sufficient canopy to protect roots from frying in the sun when temperatures soar in the middle of the day.
The same is true in your indoor garden. While growing new plants from cuttings does give you a more mature top part, there are no roots at first and you’ll want to give them a more gentle environment as you would new seedlings. If you know what each plant needs and make sure they get it, you’ll have no problem propagating new plants over and over again. Only weeds grow beautifully anywhere they land – at least the ones you notice.

Join us on Friday, May 24, 2013 at 1PM Eastern for a Google+ Hangout to discuss all things Minecraft.
The game may not quite be a household name on the level of the most famous video games of all time yet, but it’s quietly worked its way into the fabric of society in a way that very few games ever have.

What do you do when you’re not just trying to get by in Minecraft? You build stuff.
This isn’t a knock against Minecraft. If anything, it’s a testament to how unique the game actually is.
In Minecraft’s aptly named Survival Mode, players must find shelter, feed themselves and fend off monsters. But they start by mining blocks.
While the Xbox One is all-new from a technology standpoint, it also feels like a continuance of the ideas that Microsoft has been adding to the Xbox 360 since 2005.

AUSTIN — A North Texas legislator best known for killing bills may be about to pass his first — to kill red-light cameras.
During his six years in the Texas House, Jonathan Stickland has helped write plenty of legislation and partnered on more than a few bills that have been signed into law. But he said he's never seen his own bill — one that he's championed as the primary author — even get a debate on the House floor.
Now, he's got more than 100 lawmakers, both Democrats and Republicans, backing his effort to outlaw red light cameras. Stickland is confident this means not only that his bill will be heard, but also that it has a good chance of becoming law.
After years of disappointment, will the tea party firebrand pass his first law — and will it be a bipartisan victory to boot?
"I suggest all the cities begin planning their budgets without red light camera revenue," Stickland, R-Bedford, told The Dallas Morning News on Tuesday. "They're going to come down. It's just a question of how long."
A question of safety
Stickland's red-light camera ban is pretty straightforward. House Bill 1631 would prohibit cities from operating "a photographic traffic signal system" or issuing civil or criminal fines based on a "recorded image," and repeal state laws that allow for these systems.
Outlawing red-light cameras is popular with voters, who loathe the $75 fines that turn up in the mail, and among lawmakers like Stickland, who say the cameras violate the Sixth Amendment.
"They're unconstitutional," Stickland said. "We have a right to face our accuser, and you can't face a camera in court."
Several other states have already banned or restricted the use of red-light or speed-enforcement cameras, while some prohibit such enforcement measures on state highways but allow them on local roads. A handful of Texas cities, including Arlington and Richardson, have also quit using the devices, or, like DeSoto, decided against installing them.
But several others, including Dallas, Irving, Garland and Plano, continue to champion the cameras, which they say improve public safety.
"The City of Plano Red Light Camera Program has reduced crashes and been effective in increasing traffic safety," Plano police Chief Gregory W. Rushin said in a statement. "We would oppose any bill banning our ability to continue this safety program."
Dallas City Councilman Lee Kleinman, who chairs the Mobility Solutions, Infrastructure and Sustainability Committee, agreed that cameras help "improve walkability" and reduce deadly accidents. Claiming that they don't further public safety "is like being a climate denier," he said. The city pointed to two studies that deadly "angle" or T-bone crashes decreased when red light cameras are in place.
But opponents point to caveats in these same studies, which also showed the presence of red-light cameras could result in more rear-end collisions.
One study, for example, said cameras resulted in T-bone accidents declining by 19 percent, while "less dangerous and less frequent" rear-end crashes increased by 14 percent. The other study, which was performed in Houston, said "the program's drawbacks canceled out its benefits."
The cameras also bring in significant sums in fines every year.
Dallas' cameras, for example, netted almost $5.8 million in fines in 2018. Half this went to the city and half to the state's hospital trauma centers. American Traffic Solutions, the Arizona-based vendor that operates the camera, gets about $128,505 a month, or about $1.5 million each year.
Kleinman said the city's decision to use the cameras "is not at all about raising revenue," but leaders in other municipalities have reminded lawmakers this cash would have to be found elsewhere. There are also litigation concerns. Dallas signed a decade-long contract with ATS in 2017, with an option to opt out after seven years. If the state outlaws these cameras in September, as Stickland has proposed, cities worry they could be sued.
Will the camera ban bill pass?
In the past, the Texas Senate has repeatedly supported outlawing red-light cameras. But these same efforts have failed to gain traction in the House.
This year could be different. Gov. Greg Abbott now backs such a ban, and nearly all of the members who sit on the House Transportation Committee and House Calendars Committee support Stickland's bill, including its chairmen.
As of Tuesday, 112 members of the House had signed onto his legislation, far more than the 76 it needs to pass. At least five are Democrats from North Texas: Terry Meza of Irving, Ana-Maria Ramos of Richardson, and Yvonne Davis, Jessica González and Toni Rose of Dallas.
The sudden surge in bipartisan support is significant for Stickland, who's struggled to form coalitions in the past.
He has repeatedly butted heads with Republican House leaders, whom Stickland attacked as not conservative enough, and sidelined by members whose legislation died at his hands. This penchant for killing bills and throwing bombs, while popular with tea party voters, quickly stymied his own attempts to pass legislation.
Stickland has never debated a bill on the floor as its primary author, he said. Normally, freshman lawmakers are allowed — and expected — to pass one consensus bill in their first year. But, since he was elected in 2013, Stickland said his colleagues haven't even supported his resolutions honoring local police officers killed in the line of duty.
His attempts to ban red light cameras have also fallen victim to the Stickland embargo. In 2015, he was investigated for violating House rules and ejected from a committee after a yelling match with its chairman over this bill. Stickland's opponents have said the treatment was deserved; he says it's been unfair and far too personal.
But this year feels different, he said, more positive, more constructive. There is a renewed pledge among the state's top leaders to work together, one that Stickland has bought into as well.
"While my principles aren't changing, my approach is. ... I'm willing to hear the other side" he said Tuesday.
Stickland said he's more than ready to pass his first law. "I've never had a bill in my own name. ...This would be my first."
"It's crazy, isn't it?"

Small copper change is on its way out in much of Europe, with Ireland the latest country to drop one and two cent coins from circulation.
From the end of October, retailers will round up or down to the nearest five cent as smaller coins are phased out.
The country joins six other EU nations which have already adopted a rounding policy, including Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands and Sweden.
The Central Bank of Ireland said one-cent coins, worth about 0.7p, cost more to mint than their equivalent face value: a one cent coin costs 1.65 cents to produce, while the two cent coin costs 1.94 cents.
The phasing out of the one and two cent coins means that the five cent coin – worth 3.7p – will be Ireland’s smallest unit of exchange.
Shops and supermarkets will still be able to price goods at 99 cents or €1.99, for example, but will only give cash change to the nearest five cents. The rounding will only apply to cash transactions, with electronic payments still accepted in one cent increments.
The phasing out of the coins follows a trial in Wexford in 2013, which showed that 85% of consumers and 100% of retailers were happy with rounding.
Charities are worried that the withdrawal of small coins will hit donations. Ireland’s Change for Charity group campaigned to keep small coins. It has 3,000 collection receptacles in schools, shops and banks across Ireland, and said that scrapping the coins could lead to the charity sector missing out on millions in revenue.
But Ronnie O’Toole of the Central Bank of Ireland said evidence showed that consumers and retailers would welcome the move.
“As a country we are good at making changes like this,” he said. “We migrated to the euro ahead of most other countries, and the indications so far are that consumers and retailers alike will embrace rounding.”
The bank said that one cent and two cent coins will remain legal tender, so stashes in piggy banks and old whisky bottles can still be exchanged at banks. It will not be compulsory for retailers to round up or down, but shops will be encouraged to participate, with stickers on tills and posters in shops informing customers of the change.
“The Irish Central Bank will continue to ensure that there is a sufficient supply of one cent and two cent coins – they will still be legal tender,” a spokesman said. “There already exists a lot in circulation, though this stock is largely hoarded in jam-jars and elsewhere in people’s homes. Ireland has produced 2.5bn one cent and two cent coins since the introduction of the euro, enough to go around the island of Ireland seven times, or stacked on top of each other 4,000kms into space. Like many small denomination coins the world over, they cost on average more to mint than their face value, a cost ultimately borne by the taxpayer.”
The Bank of England said there were no plans to withdraw 1p or 2p coins in the UK, although it said any decision would be the responsibility of the Treasury.
The Royal Mint said that in the UK, apart from the introduction of a new £1 coin planned for 2017, there are no current plans to change any other existing UK circulating coin denomination.
Despite talk of a “cashless society”, it said demand for cash has been relatively robust over the past five years, and that the volume of coins in circulation is increasing. There are now 11.3bn 1p coins in circulation, with another 464m pieces minted in the past financial year alone.

"People Pleasers are always seeking the validation of others for all that they do. Unfortunately, their deep feelings of inadequacy rob them of actually hearing how important and appreciated they are to their receiver. When People Pleasers are acting from their emotional wounds, their self-sabotage comes from their inability to hear what another might truly want from them. Looking through their own filter of "How can I please you?" cuts them off from hearing, listening to, and being in touch with appropriate behavior, thereby cutting themselves off at the foot. The shadow of People Pleasers is their deep shame that they are nothing without you. "You" is whomever they happen to be attached to at the moment, together with the deeds they are doing on "your" behalf to prove how necessary they are... What is the People Pleaser's shame? Useless,forgettable, insigificant, disposable, needy, unwanted, passive aggressive".

Sunpan, a resource for transitional and contemporary furniture, has announced it will be exhibiting and sponsoring High Point Premarket on April 25-27.
Continuing to build on the momentum gained last fall, the High Point Premarket Committee is reporting encouraging feedback from invited buyers in advance of their shifted spring event. The Spring 2021 Premarket is scheduled for April 25-27.
International Market Centers (IMC) has announced that its Spring 2021 High Point Market offerings will include both showrooms and temporary resources as well as a robust lineup of digital tools for pre-market preparation and an all-virtual educational programming format. Spring Market runs June 5 – June 9, 2021.
Due to an unprecedented surge in consumer demand, plus a shortage in raw materials and labor due to COVID-19, Sherrill Furniture Company has announced its entire focus has turned to fulfilling sold orders and will not attend High Point Pre-Market or the June Furniture Market.
As the official sponsor and organizer of the biannual High Point Market, the High Point Market Authority has launched a new website, www.highpointmarketauthority.org, aimed at outlining the organization’s unique role and responsibilities.
The committee for High Point’s First Tuesday has announced the additional dates of March 2 – 4 to its schedule. Originally supporting the High Point Pre-Market scheduled dates, this new additional date is in response to the reschedule of all announced market changes.
Capitalizing on a recent shift in timing of home furnishings industry markets, and in concert with ongoing travel and government restrictions in the western United States, International Market Centers (IMC) has rescheduled the winter and summer editions of the Las Vegas Market — originally planned in January and July — to run April 11-15, 2021, and August 22-26, 2021.

An in-depth introduction to the Deva Kingdom and our relationship with Deva
• Explores how we partner with Deva in our everyday lives to evolve both our kingdom and theirs
• Explains the hierarchy of the Deva kingdom, from elementals and nature spirits to higher angelic Deva and every level in between
• Offers suggestions on how to communicate with the Deva of trees and plants as well as the angelic kingdom
• Shares the author’s personal experiences with Deva around the world
Nature spirits, faeries, gnomes, and their higher angelic counterparts who overlight landscapes, mountains, rivers, and plants have held a fascination for people worldwide for countless generations. The Deva kingdom is essentially the world’s form builders, the symphony at the heart of Creation, yet Deva is so much more than the joyful beings that animate what we call Nature. We each have a very personal and direct relationship with Deva via our physical, astral, emotional, and mental elementals, but this connection has been forgotten or, at the very least, overlooked. When we partner with Deva in our everyday lives, we can help evolve both our kingdom and aspects of theirs.
Exploring the realm of Deva and our relationship with them, Jacquelyn E. Lane introduces us to the hierarchy of the Deva kingdom, from elementals and nature spirits to higher Deva and the levels in between. She examines the metaphysics that underlie their existence and how the energy of Deva is intrinsic to all that we experience. Deva is a Sanskrit word meaning “Being of Light,” an appropriate name as Deva sing light out of the primordial darkness to create forms for Being. Sharing her personal experiences with Deva in many lands over four decades, the author investigates our relationship with Deva, in particular via the elementals of our human constitution, and how we can communicate with the Deva of trees and plants as well as the angelic kingdom. Through scientific discoveries and cultural traditions, we discover the impact we have on Deva and how we use and even “create” new forms of Deva via our inventions and collective activity. Jacquelyn also looks at the orchestrating function of higher Deva and the wider implications of our understanding of Deva, including the role of Deva in Pan consciousness--our increasing realization of the intricate matrix of life within and between all the kingdoms on Earth.
Offering not only an in-depth introduction to the world of Deva but also a glimpse of their wisdom, humor, and joy, this book reveals how we can begin to hear their complex song, find our own song, and work with the appropriate subtle layers of the Deva kingdom to grow and evolve.
About the Author
A widely traveled New Zealander, Jacquelyn E. Lane is an artist and educator who has been involved in a broad range of metaphysical studies for nearly 50 years. She is the author and illustrator of The Children of Gaia and scribe of This World of Echoes.
“In Deva, Jacquelyn E. Lane presents us with a compelling exposition of the indwelling light of all forms of earthly life--an indwelling hierarchy with eternal descent from highest planes of light to the mundane density of our plane of existence, which still contains the ultimate creative energy to rise again. She poetically brings us into the heart of creative expression itself: joy in the experience of wonder in all things.”
— ROBERT SMITH, B.A. (Oxon), teacher (retired)
“This book should come with a health warning--May cause uplifting joy in the normally serious reader.”
— LINDA CHAPMAN, artist and light worker
“Deva is mind-blowingly wonderful and well written. It has been uplifting for me to read on so many levels. I was blown away not only by the incredible experiences that Lane has had and shared in this book but also by the strong and solid arguments it makes and the importance of the subject matter in relation to the many issues we are facing today--personal, political, and environmental. It also gave me a deep sense of feeling reconnected.”
— KARLY OLIVER, B.A. in political science and philosophy
“I am in awe of Jacquelyn E. Lane’s ability to write and describe the intangible. I am left with a presence not easily described--more like a folding in of energy holding the physical body in grace. Colors abound! And joy is felt! I applaud Jacquelyn’s bravery and courage to reveal her inner vision and share with readers such a personal gift. Her discussion of esoteric principles of philosophy is quite an achievement--cosmic Fire in those few pages! Well done!”
— DIANA POLKINGHORNE, architectural designer
“I have thoroughly enjoyed Deva and learned so much from it. Right from the introduction and first chapter, it grabbed my attention with the clear explanations. I felt it was in everyday language and all the author’s examples and tales of her experiences made it easy to relate to. I love the touches of humor too--very refreshing. I certainly have a new understanding of nature and life and look at things differently as I’m driving or walking along and out and about in the world. Understanding this makes a lot of things fall into place. The writing is beautiful, and I can’t wait to read it again and again!”
— YVONNE OLIVER, businesswoman (retired)
“This book explains the things in life I was sensing as a young child but unable to express at the time. I was searching for the magic and mystery of life, and your book corroborates my first impressions of it! I really had no idea deva was such a vast subject matter. I think that if people grasped that deva is not just about the fairies in the flowers but a lens with which to understand the nature of reality then they would have a much broader appeal. I enjoyed the way Jacquelyn E. Lane beautifully married science and metaphysics and included her fascinating personal experience with the deva kingdom. I’ve been waiting for a book that covers the history--the how and the why of deva--and you have nailed it.”
— JENNIFER KLAASSEN, fashion designer and early childhood educator
“This book gives us an excitement of learning about something we don’t normally see. It opens up a whole world of understanding what is out there and brings an awareness that there is so much more to the concepts of sound, energy, and vibration.”
— SALLY BURGESS, Ph.D. (Esoteric Philosophy)
"In the book Deva, the author explains that deva is the kingdom of substance and form and that they infuse all things with intelligence. The Deva activate nature. The Deva kingdom includes faeries, nature spirits, elves and all matter surrounding our planet. This book provides a better understanding to of creation and our part in the world. This book is not a light read, but for those who wish to go deeper down the rabbit hole, the information is plentiful and provides opportunity for deeper thinking about humanity and all aspects of creation itself."
— --Amber Barnes, FacingNorth.net
"Deva: Our Relationship with the Subtle World by Jacquelyn E. Lane is a title that anyone who is serious about the undertaking of engaging and communicating with the natural world should read. Lane is an educator by profession and this is quite apparent in the organization of the book. She has also been involved in the study of metaphysics for 50+ years, and this experience is the underpinning of this particular title and its teachings regarding the work of collaboration with the laws and spirits of nature through the development of a relationship of mutual respect, stewardship, and care. Deva has been an immensely satisfying book to read and I am looking forward to the many re-reads I will give as my own journey in connecting more deeply to the Deva continues. Open your eyes with new wonder and call out from your highest intention and you may just be surprised at who/what calls back in reply."

Today, I am going to write on ViewSonic X1 projector, which is not very popular on the web. I am unable to find why it is not very popular because this projector lacks users’ reviews on various selling platforms such as Amazon, eBay, Target, Sears and others.
While scanning several shopping websites, I observed that the price of this projector is very good at Amazon.com, which is lower than other shopping websites. Therefore, if you plan to buy it, please check with Amazon.com first.
I see ViewSonic X1 is a feature-rich projector except the display resolution, which is 1080P. I assume that the low display resolution may be a factor to reduce popularity of this product. Today people tend to buy at least a 4K projector. However, the price of these 4K projectors is higher than that of the 1080P projectors.
LED Light Source
ViewSonic X1 has an LED light source that can last more than 30,000 hours. I see 30,000 hours are a long life without any doubts. It can be the great return on the investment. Apart from running more than 30,000 hours, it comes with an enhanced brightness capability. More importantly, the LED light source is an energy saver too. According to the manufacturer, if you compare the energy consumption capability of this projector with a normal LCD TV, you may find that it consumes less than half of the power of an LCD TV.
ViewSonic X1 1080P projector with nature-like colors has 3100 LED lumens brightness, which is very impressive. Such amount of the brightness can be perfect for most lighting environment (dark or bright). As we are talking of the brightness capability of this unit, please let me tell you that it has a high contrast ratio that results in a bright image production in almost all the environments. Apart from the impressive contrast ratio, the ViewSonic projector is based on a SuperColor technology with Rec. 709 color gamut, which is very helpful to deliver natural colors for the best viewing experience.
Key Features & Specs
|1920 x 1080
|3100 LED lumens brightness
|USB & Bluetooth
|vertical / horizontal keystone
|1.3X optical zoom
|Built-in dual Harman Kardon Bluetooth speakers
|PCs, Macs, mobile phones, tablets, laptops
|Image contrast ratio
|1.3x optical zoom, horizontal and vertical keystone correction
Lifelike Image Production
As mentioned earlier, the 1080p projector is very powerful to produce natural images because it uses SuperColor+ technology and HDR10 to give impressive color and contrast ratios. One thing, I will like to mention here is that it has greater color accuracy thanks to the 125% Rec. 709 capability. Well, such capabilities are very good to give a fuller and immersive viewing experience without any doubts. >>> Check Price <<<
Premium Audio Capability (Harman Kardon Speaker)
ViewSonic X1 projector comes integrated with dual Harman Kardon Bluetooth speakers. From such speakers, viewers can expect a room-filling audio. Of course, you are going to enjoy a premium audio that is not available in an ordinary projector.
The users are capable to stream audio from their projector to a Bluetooth speaker or headphones with the help of the Bluetooth in/out feature.
FAQs – ViewSonic X1
Does it support 120 Hz refresh rate for Xbox Series X?
ViewSonic X1 supports 120hz at 1080P display resolution but you have to configure it to use the 120Hz refresh rate. Basically, it has 1080P/60hz capability but it can be used with 1080P/120hz configuration by doing some extra work. Please note that all displays are not able to use these settings with the xBox.
Why am I not getting any sound from my Bluetooth speakers?
In case, you face sound out related issues, please contact the customer service team at Viewsonic.com website for more information. It seems there may be some configuration issues.
Why am I getting buzzing sound from the external speakers connected to the projector?
Many users confirmed that they are not getting buzzing sound from their external speakers. If you are getting the buzzing sound then please replace the cable with a good quality cable. If you are using a long wire, please use a short wire instead.

Star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Dorit Kemsley and her husband PK, are selling their mansion. In fact, they really want to move! They first put their Beverly Hills mansion on the market for $12.75 million in 2017, but they have lowered the price down five separate times in 14 months. According to The Daily Dish, they also offered to rent the space out for $40,000 a month. They have now dropped their listing price by $4 million dollars. The couple is now asking for $8.745 million for the six-bedroom, seven-bathroom home. Dorit’s house has hosted parties on the RHOBH.
PK had told Page Six, “The price was lowered to get it sold, we are very keen to move. We want a less vertical house with more of a back yard. The kids are running around everywhere and we have a lot of stairs, so we want to swap stairs for grass!”
Check out the photos of their beautiful home:
That home is beautiful! Remember the dinner parties there? Good times on the show. LOL. Hopefully they get their backyard and grass soon. I’m sure wherever they move, it’ll be fabulous. I’m beyond ready for this new season of the RHOBH!

Cheerleader Kicked Off Squad for Refusing to Cheer for Rapist
Imagine having to go to school every day with the man who raped you.
Imagine that your rapist is also a popular football and basketball star and you’re a cheerleader.
Would you want to cheer for the man who raped you?
I wouldn’t and a 16-year-old in Texas didn’t want to either so she kept quiet. The result: she was kicked off her school’s cheerleading squad.
Fair? I certainly think not.
The student, only identified as H.S., from Silsbee High School sued the school for their actions but an appeals court dismissed the case earlier this month stating that “In her capacity as a cheerleader [she] served as a mouthpiece through which the school could disseminate speech – namely, support for its athletic teams.”
Not cheering for one player on the team meant that H.S. was not being supportive of the whole team and didn’t have the right to be on the squad. Her rapist however not only avoided his one year prison sentence by pleading guilty to a lesser charge, but was allowed to return to school and invited back on the varsity basketball team.
H.S., on the other hand, was asked to keep a “low profile” at school , avoid the cafeteria, and not take part in school activities like homecoming.
Now, I have to ask: Why is the victim in this situation being restricted, yet her rapist is being welcomed back with a cheering sideline?
If you think about it this story really isn’t new. Around the world women who are raped carry the shame of their sexual assaults while the men who rape them negotiate lesser sentences and are welcomed back to their communities.
If you ask me, officials at Silsbee High School should be less worried about cheering sidelines and more worried about supporting their students who have been sexually assaulted.
