Keeping your ASUS router up-to-date is an important task you should perform regularly when a newer firmware release becomes available. The firmware update process is straightforward, except at times you may experience that your router becomes stuck on firmware downloading without progressing.
If your ASUS router is stuck on Firmware downloading, it either points to the communication between your router and the server being lost or the router’s firmware malfunction. Here are the steps to restore your router.
- Check your Internet connection, make sure it is up.
- Directly connect your PC to the router using Ethernet cable.
- Reset your Router
- Power Cycle your Router and try accessing it.
- Try changing your DNS to Google
- Perform a Factory Reset on your Router
- Manually download the Firmware and Install
- Install an N-1 Stable Firmware
- Reboot your ISP modem.
- Restore Your Settings from Backup
Let’s go over these steps in detail to understand better and resolve the issue.
Table of Contents
Check Your Internet Connection
This is the first item to check and make sure your Internet connection is up. You’ll need to bypass the router and connect your PC directly to the ISP modem. Use automatic IP assignment on your NIC card, and verify you obtain a good IP address and can browse successfully.
Tip: To quickly verify IP settings on your NIC card in Windows PC, go to Start > Run and type “ncpa.cpl” without quotes and press OK. It will bring up your PC interface cards where you can set up automatic or Static IP assignments. When connecting directly with ISP mode, make sure you are set up with automatic IP assignment.
Directly Connect your PC to the router using Ethernet cable
If you are trying to access your router through WiFi, make sure you connect your PC directly to one of the router’s LAN ports and try accessing it. Often Wi-Fi setup malfunctions during the upgrade process, hence it is best to bypass it.
Reset Your Router
If the router is in a hung-up state for 30 minutes or more, you may proceed with the Reset by pressing the “Reset” button at the back of the router for 5 seconds and letting go. Look for a Solid Power light and try connecting to it again.
Power Cycle your Router
Try to take the power off for 3 minutes, plug it back in again and try. This will ensure the router boots up clearly from any hung-up states. Also, it may help to use an AC socket directly and bypass the power strip.
Try changing your DNS
Any issues with the DNS server can also cause communication loss. To address this, you can try changing your DNS to Google’s DNS servers that are 18.104.22.168 and 22.214.171.124.
Tip: You can also perform clearing your DNS entries by going into the command prompt on your Windows PC, typing the command “ipconfig /flushdns” and press Enter. This will clear up old entries and make sure your new request proceeds through the new DNS servers.
Perform a Factory Reset on your router
To get your router back to the default configuration when it was new, you can perform a factory reset procedure. This will wipe out all existing configuration and brings everything back to the default state.
Manually Install the Firmware
Once the router becomes accessible after a factory reset, you can perform a manual install of the Firmware. Go to ASUS Download Center and download the following files according to your Operating System.
- Download the Utilities file
- Download the latest Firmware file
Proceed with the Manual Firmware Installation procedure to make your router functional again. This requires setting up and accessing your Asus router by directly connecting to it. Unzip the downloaded files. Install and Run the Utility application and point to the Firmware file for an install.
Install N-1 Firmware
If you are experiencing issues with the latest firmware, you can proceed with the N-1 (one version before the newest one) version of the firmware using a manual firmware installation procedure.
This will address any issues with the new firmware and feature-set you are using for your network.
Reboot Your ISP Modem
Sometimes there are issues with the ISP modem, while we keep digging through the router to address the issue. To perform your ISP (Internet Service Provider) modem, connect your PC directly to it using the Ethernet cable and follow the steps below:
- Power OFF your Router
- Power OFF your ISP Modem
- Power ON your ISP modem and wait for it to fully boot up (confirm with LED lights) and connect your PC to it first to make sure you have Internet access. Try accessing asus.com to verify.
- Connect your Asus router to it and power it ON. Let the router boot up, and connect your PC directly to one of the LAN ports of the router to access it.
- Test the Internet connectivity by accessing asus.com website.
Restore Your Settings from Backup
Once you have your Asus router back online and functional with stable firmware. You can quickly get your network configuration and settings back, if you have kept the backup file, by following the Restore Procedure.

Influencing for the good: Promoting fruit and vegetable consumption could improve children’s food intake and reverse the obesogenic food environment
Children’s media environment is full of representations of unhealthy and energy-dense food products, having harmful effects on children’s eating behavior. In addition, mounting evidence suggests that when food is positively shown in advertising then this product is significantly more likely to be a non-core, unhealthy food, compared to a fruit or vegetable . Nowadays, the YouTube videos of influencers, that are extremely popular among young people, have been found to often feature unhealthy food cues, described positively with reference to social contexts. As a consequence, the majority of children worldwide do not consume the recommended amount of fruit and vegetables (Folkvord, 2016; Matthes, 2019).
The main aim of this review is to reinforce the message of how children and adolescents react to food promotions and how food promotional efforts might be a useful tool to increase the attractiveness of fruit and vegetables, in order to change our food environment from an obesogenic to a healthogenic environment.
Products high in fat, sugar and salt account for 65-80% of all food marketing
There is ample evidence that the presentation of unhealthy foods is connected to children’s and adolescents’ unhealthy food choices. Particularly young children and adolescents might be vulnerable to long-term negative effects of unhealthy food promotion as they are exposed to extensive marketing efforts on social media and are not typically covered by regulatory efforts. Unhealthy foods have higher intrinsically rewarding properties that make them more “wanted” and “liked” than fruit and vegetables, thereby inducing unhealthy eating behavior among children and reducing their intake of healthier foods.
Additionally, promotion for unhealthy foods is omnipresent and increases the rewarding value of these foods. Studies consistently found that products high in fat, sugar and salt (HFSS) were the main type of products advertised in media popular with children. According to content analyses, HFSS products account for 65-80% of all food marketing in digital media (including social media) which is currently children’s preferred media. In addition, studies have indicated that the majority of foods promoted by influencers are classified as being unhealthy, and that this marketing significantly impacts young people’s food consumption. The World Health Organization asserts that the promotional strategies used in the pervasive and persuasive marketing of HFSS foods contribute significantly to the childhood obesity crisis (WHO, 2019).
Promoting fruit and vegetable consumption could improve their intake among children
A limited amount of research suggest that it is challenging to increase fruit and vegetables intake among children, especially over the long term. Fruit and vegetables are less intrinsically rewarding than HFSS foods, considering the automatic physiological (e.g., saliva, increased activation in brain areas related to reward and food motivation systems) and psychological (e.g., craving, hunger, liking and wanting) reactivity that HFSS foods induce. Additionally, the food industry uses incessant, sophisticated, and personalized advertising to effectively increase the hedonic and rewarding value of HFSS foods by modifying attitudes, emotions, intentions, and ultimately consumption behavior, while these strategies are lacking to promote fruit and vegetables. Nonetheless, several studies have shown that exposure to fruit and vegetables can be stimulated by simply exposing children at a very young age.
Therefore, there is an urgent need to systematically test novel and effective methods to make fruit and vegetables more appealing and increase the intake among children through influencing for the good in order to improve children’s eating behavior. While there are many strategies involved in making them desirable for children, for instance health-literacy programs in schools, or parents’ communication strategies and feeding practices, a whole-systems approach is often cited as being fundamental to creating an environment whereby the healthy choice is the easy choice. While the personal environment, and thus family practices, are crucial to the socialization of a health-promoting environment, this is an area that is difficult to intervene in directly.
Creating a World where the healthy choice the easy one
Interventions from the public sphere are needed to create a health-promoting environment that also affect the private space. For example, in addition to a ban on unhealthy food marketing, radical interventions on price, product composition, labelling and the availability of junk food are needed to see an impact. Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of a healthy food environment. The current globalized food system cannot sustainably promote healthy people and a healthy planet without significant actions being implemented.
- Reducing the marketing of energy‐dense snacks to children and increasing the promotion of healthier foods, such as fruit and vegetables, may be an effective and necessary instrument to improve the dietary intake of children and reduce the risk of their experiencing some chronic diseases later in life.
- Changing the advertising and media environment of children and adolescents could help create a world where the healthy choice is the easier choice, which would reduce childhood obesity and improve children’s health, as well as to make the food system more sustainable.

WEST PALM BEACH (CBSMiami/AP) — A mural of George Washington crafted from 8,000 multi-color sticky notes has taken shape in West Palm Beach.
The patriotic mural is on display in a 23-foot window at a public library to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the city's Independence Day celebration.
Event sponsors say 'Big George' is the first of many sticky note murals that will pop up in downtown West Palm Beach leading up to the 4th of July.
Others include Lady Liberty, and a waving American flag.
It took a team of Armory Arts Center students roughly a week to complete the mural.

Characteristics and performance of laboratory manual homogenizer
Manual homogenizer is mainly used for tissue dispersion in the field of biotechnology, sample preparation in the field of medicine, enzyme treatment in the food industry, detection of pesticide residues in food and veterinary drug residues, as well as in the pharmaceutical industry, cosmetics industry, paint industry and petrochemical industry. Manual homogenizing machine adopts stainless steel system, which can effectively separate the surface of protective sample and the contained microorganism homogenizing sample. The sample is packed in disposable sterile homogenizing bag, which does not contact with the instrument, and meets the requirements of fast, accurate results and good repeatability. So you know the lab manual homogenizer?
Laboratory manual homogenizer features
1, because of its small size, only a very small number of samples for testing, so it is especially suitable for all kinds of sample testing in the experiment.
2. The working principle of GJJ type laboratory high pressure manual homogenizer is exactly the same as that of the high pressure homogenizer pump used in our factory for production and experimental work, so that we can use the test results to judge the results of mass production.
3. the machine is a two plunger reciprocating movement, all contact surfaces with materials are made of special anti-acid stainless steel material, its consistent with the design of health is also reflected in the use of detergent cycle and tap water washing in situ cleaning.
Performance of manual homogenizer in laboratory
1. Normal working pressure is 0-80mpa, working pressure is 100Mpa, working capacity is 30-50L/H, small test sample size is about 150ML.
2. power supply: 3×380V, 50HZ, power: 4KW.
3. The particle size of crushing is 0.05-0.10um at high pressure and 0.15-2um at low pressure.

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a request by tobacco companies to block California from enforcing a ban on flavored tobacco products that was overwhelmingly approved by voters in November.
RJ Reynolds and other tobacco companies sought the intervention of the high court to prevent the ban from taking effect before December 21.
There were no additional comments from the judges or notable discrepancies.
The ban was first passed by the state legislature two years ago, but never went into effect after tobacco companies gathered enough signatures to put it on the ballot. But nearly two-thirds of voterseverything from cotton candy vape juice to menthol cigarettes.
Supporters of the ban say the law was necessary to stem a staggering rise in teen smoking.
RJ Reynolds filed a federal lawsuit the day after the Nov. 8 vote, but lower courts refused to hold the law while the lawsuit progresses.
Menthol cigarettes account for about a third of the market in California, the companies said as they urged the Supreme Court to prevent them from losing so much business in the nation’s largest state. They argued that the authority to ban flavored products rests with the Federal Food and Drug Administration. The FDA in April proposed a rulein cigarettes and non-tobacco flavors in cigars.
California responded that federal law conveniently allows state and local governments to decide what tobacco products will be sold in their jurisdictions. And the state noted that the companies only went to the Supreme Court after spending “tens of millions of dollars” in a losing case at the polls.
California will be the second state in the nation, after Massachusetts, to enact a ban banning the sale of all flavored tobacco products. Several California cities, including Los Angeles and San Diego, have already enacted their own bans, and several states have banned flavored vaping products. No legal challenge to those bans has prevailed so far, but the companies have an appeal pending in the high court in their fight with Los Angeles.
It is already illegal for retailers to sell tobacco to anyone under the age of 21. But proponents of the ban said flavored cigarettes and vape cartridges were still too easy for teens to obtain. The ban does not make it a crime to possess such products, but retailers who sell them could be fined up to $250.
In addition to menthol and other flavored cigarettes, the ban also prohibits the sale of flavored tobacco for vape pens, tank-based systems, and chewing tobacco, with exceptions for hookahs, some cigars, and loose leaf tobacco.

Police in Leamington joined forces with immigration officers on visits aimed at stopping companies from flouting the rules. Members of Leamington's Safer Neighbourhood Team scoped out a number of premises alongside their colleagues from immigration.
In a post on their Facebook page, Leamington Police said: "PC Lake and PCSO Martin-Cortez have been conducting joint compliance visits with our colleagues from Immigration this morning at various business premises across the town. If you have any suspicions about businesses and their employment practises please contact us on 101, through the website or contact immigration directly and we will investigate your concerns."
It was not immediately clear whether the visits were specifically targeted or whether they came in response to a rise in immigration rule breaches by businesses in the town. Earlier in the day Leamington Police provided a more general update on the number of people who had started the day in custody at the town's police station.
Five people had been held in total. Three over failure to appear at court warrants for robbery, counterfeiting and traffic offences. One person was detained over a prison recall and one in connection with an assault causing actual bodily harm (ABH).

School NewsNational Day For Truth and Reconciliation
Students in Grades 6-12 heard from Howard Jolly (Executive Director of the First Nations Alliance Churches of Canada) and his wife Karen during a special Chapel on September 29.
September 30 marked the second annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This day is dedicated to acknowledging the long-lasting effects of Residential Schools; inviting everyone to take time to honour and remember Residential School survivors, as well as the children who never returned home. Together, we can work towards healing and a more collaborative future.
Students and staff were encouraged to wear orange shirts to show solidarity with Indigenous peoples and to bring attention to the Every Child Matters Movement. Howard and Karen both spoke and sang about the hurt their people have experienced and their hope in Christ. The two shared that brokenness can be mended through storytelling and by recognizing the good things that come from God’s glory. Howard sang two original songs to communicate these messages in a particularly meaningful way.
Reconciliation is an ongoing process that involves actively listening to one another, learning from each others’ stories, and loving our neighbours as ourselves. Students were challenged to be a part of this healing solution at our Truth and Reconciliation Chapel.

EDWARD M. HEYLMAN, OF o NTomI'LLINoIs, ASSIGNOR r0 THE PARLIN & ORENDORFF COMPANY, on SAME PLACE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 612,900, dated October 25, 1898.
Application filed August 27, 1897. Serial No. 649,759. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD M. HEYLMAN, of Oanton,in the county of Fulton and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Plows, of which the following is a specification.
It is common practice to provide a wheeled plow with a caster-wheel which travels in the furrow and aids in directing the plow while plowing and in carrying it in turning. It is necessary to the perfect operation of such oaster-wheel that it shall be sufliciently rigid with relation to the frame to control the width of the cut of the plow in act of plowing, and it must swing with relation to the frame in act of turning the plow around. Various locks have heretofore been employed to hold the caster-wheel rigid while plowing, and connections have been made from the tonguewheel to the caster-Wheel in such manner that the caster-wheel is controlled by the tongue. It is one object of this invention to improve this feature of a plow; and in the broadest sense this part of the invention consists in connecting the caster-shaft with the plow-frame by means of a springhaving sufficient strength to guide the plow and yielding enough to give way to the side pull of theframe in act of turning. In a more restricted sense this part of the invention resides in a spring-controlled connection between the caster-wheel shaft and the frame, and in a still more restricted sense it resides in a toggle r jointconnected with an arm on the shaft of the wheel and with the frame and a spring adapted to hold the toggle-joint extended.
Another feature of this invention relates to means for raising and lowering the colter of the plow, and this, together with the feature relating to the automatic control of the caster-wheel, is exemplified in the structure hereinafter described,and defined in the appended claims.
In the drawings forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective representation of a plow embodying my improvement. Fig. 2 is an elevation showing the coltershifting mechanism as it appears when the colter is lowered. Fig. 3 is a similar View showing the colter raised. Fig. t is a plan showing the details of the mechanism used to automatically control the oaster wheel. Fig.
5 isa plan illustrating free swing of the caster-wheel in one direction. Fig. 6 is a plan illustrating swing of the caster-wheel in the opposite direction against the tension of the spring of the toggle-joint.
The frame 1 and 1" may be constructed in any desired manner, and in addition to other carrying-wheels suitably disposed it has a caster-wheel 25, which travels in the furrow behind the plow. The vertical portion 23 of the caster-wheel shaft journals in a bearing in casting 19, (see Fig. 4,) which is fastened to the rear end of the plow-frame, and the horizontal portion 2& extends rearward and carries a spindle for the caster-wheel. On the upper end of the vertical portion of the shaft is loosely mounted an arm 22, and above the arm is fixed a collar 26, which has a lug 27, that bears against the back. surface of arm 22. A set-screw 26 is preferably employed to fasten-the collar 26 onto the shaft. A toggle-joint composed of members 20 and 21 connects at one end with the swinging end of arm 22 and at the other end with the forward end of casting 19. A rod 28 connects at one end with member 20 of the toggle-joint by means of bolt 30, and it extends horizontally through an aperture in casting 19. It has on its extended end a washer and a nut, and between the washer and the casting is interposed a spring 29, which exerts a pull on the member 20 of the toggle-joint and tends to hold the toggle-joint extended. A lateral projection 33 on casting 19 provides a bearing against which the toggle-joint rests when subject to the stress of the spring, and this bearingis so located that the members of the togglejoint cannot assume a straight line,and thereby bring the pivots on a dead-center.
The caster-wheel travels along the furrow, against the vertical wall thereof, and limits the width of the cut of the plow, and any ordinary side stress in a direction away from the vertical wall of the furrow is successfully resisted by the spring acting through the toggle-joint, the arm, the lug on the collar, and the set-screw. When an abnormal side stress is developed between the frame and the caster-wheel, as in act of turning around at the end of the field, the spring will yield, as shown in Fig. 6, the toggle-joint will swing, and the caster-wheel will turn sidewise on its vertical bearing with sufficient freedom to permit the turn of the plow to be readily made. As soon as the abnormal stress is relieved the spring will draw the toggle-joint to its shown position preparatory to a continuance of the plowing operation. Side swing of the caster-wheel toward the land is unobstructed, as the lug 27 may swing away from the arm 22, as shown in Fig. 5, and so the greatest amount of freedom consistent with the proper operation of the plow is provided for the wheel.
The use of a toggle-joint in connection with the spring is advisable on account of the stiffness that results when the joint is extended and the free swing that is attainable when the joint is broken; but there are various mechanical equivalents of the toggle joints which are capable of performing the desired function more or less completely, and the spring alone is able to effect a very desirable result.
The mechanism employed to raise and lower the colter is particularly applicable to a plow embodying the improvement patented March 17, 1897, No. 556,344, though it may be used with plows having other styles of lifts, and it is shown in detail in connection with such patented improvement in Figs. 2 and 3. In these figures, 1 represents a side bar of the plow-frame. 2 is a standard bolted to bar 1 and braced therefrom by brace-bar 3. The shank 4; of the plow 5 is swung from the standard 2 by means of links 6 and 7, and a lever 32 (shown only in Fig. 1) is connected with the plow-shank by means of a link 31 and provides means for raising and lowering the plow.
The vertical portion of shank 17 of colter 18 is journaled in bearings 13,which are fixed on a plate 12. The plate is journaled at 14 on a horizontal pivot, and it is supplied on its rear side with a segment of a circle of gearteeth 16. An arm 9 is pivoted at 10 to the side of bar 1, and it has a segment of a circle of gear-teeth 11, which mesh with teeth 16. A bar 8 connects arm 9 with the swinging end of link 7 and provides means whereby the raising of the plow will rock arm 9 and raise the colter, as suggested in Fig. 3. This connection does not interfere with the horizontal swing of the colter, it enables the extent of lift to be easily varied, and its essential peculiarity is the upwardly-extended arm connected by gearing or the like to the rocking plate of the colter.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In a wheel-plow the combination of a plow-frame, a caster-wheel shaft journaled vertically therein and a spring tending to hold the caster-shaft against rotation in its bearings in the frame.
2. In a wheel-plow, the combination of a plow-frame, a caster-wheel shaft journaled vertically in the frame, and a yielding stop tending to hold the caster-shaft against rotation in its bearings in the frame.
3. In a wheel-plow, the combination of a frame, a caster-wheel shaft journaled vertically in the frame, an arm mounted loosely on the shaft, a'lug fixed on the shaft and adapted to engage the arm, a toggle-joint connected with the arm and with the frame and a spring tending to hold the toggle-joint extended.
4. In a wheel-plow, the combination of a colter swung on a horizontal pivot, an upwardextended, pivoted arm connected with the colter-shank, and a bar connecting the arm with the plow-raising mechanism.
5. In a wheel-plow, the combination of a frame, a vertically-swingable toothed plate pivoted on the frame, a colter-shank pivotally connected with the plate, an upward-extended arm pivoted on the frame and having a segment of a circle of cog-gear meshing with the teeth of the plate of the colter and a bar connecting the arm with the raising mechanism of the plow.
In testimony whereof I sign my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
EDWARD M. HEYLMAN.

text: A sensitive and rapid ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS/MS) method was developed to determine bosentan (BOS) and glimepiride (GPD) in human plasma simultaneously. Chromatographic separation was carried out on an Acquity UPLC BEH C18 column and mass spectrometric analysis was performed using a QTrap5500 mass spectrometer coupled with an electro-spray ionization (ESI) source in the positive ion mode. The MRM transitions of m/z 552.0 → 202.1 and m/z 491.2 → 125.9 were used to quantify BOS and GPD, respectively. This assay method has been fully validated in terms of selectivity, linearity, recovery and matrix effect, accuracy, precision and stability. The linearity of this method was found to be within the concentration range of 5–1000 ng/mL for BOS, and 2.5–500 ng/mL for GPD in human plasma. Only 1.5 min was needed for an analytical run. This assay was used to support a clinical study where multiple oral doses were administered to healthy Chinese subjects to investigate the pharmacokinetics of BOS and GPD.

Telecom companies big and small have reached an agreement with 51 attorneys general to block illegal robocalls from reaching customers' phones.
Attorneys general from North Carolina, New Hampshire and Arkansas announced the deal with 12 phone companies, including AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint, in a joint news conference Thursday.
Carriers that have signed on to the agreement pledge to take measures to counter the wave of spam robocalls "at no cost to the customers." The measures, dubbed the Robocalls Principles, includes implementing technology at the network level to block calls in the first place and offer customers call-blocking and phone number authentication tools.
"This is a significant step forward towards protecting people in our states,"said N.H. Attorney General Gordon.
Gordon said the Robocalls Principles also includes enforcement efforts requiring that carriers be able to trace the origin of calls, verify callers, identify robocallers and kick those deemed illegal off of their network.
The other carriers who have pledged to take on robocalls are Bandwidth, CenturyLink, Comcast, Consolidated Communications, Charter, Frontier Communications, U.S. Cellular and Windstream Holdings.
The agreement doesn't have a timeline.
U.S. & World
Robocalls have increased as cheap software makes it easy to make mass calls. Scammers don't care if you've added your number to the government's Do Not Call list, and enforcement is negligible.
The The Federal Trade Commission's Bureau of Consumer Protection Director Andrew Smith said the agency receives 3.8 billion complaints a year, averaging more than 10,000 a day. But, Smith notes "that's just a drop in the bucket," since most people don't file an official complaint.
In fact, according to call-blocker YouMail, U.S. phones receive 5 billion robocalls per month.
"No single issue comes as close to comparing, in regards to the sheer volume of complaints we receive, than that of robocalls," said MacDonald.
The rise in debt collectors, telemarketers and, most worrisome, fraudsters ringing up consumers' phones have led the Federal Communications Commission and Congress to push phone companies to do more. The companies have been slow to act against such automated calls on their own.
Earlier this month, federal regulators voted to give phones companies the right to block unwanted calls without getting customers' permission first. The FCC's move was the first step in helping make call-blocking widespread and rescuing consumers from the surge of annoying robocalls.
The FTC said if customers answer the phone and hear a recorded message instead of a live person, it's a robocall. The agency said the best defense against robocalls is to block the number on your cellphone or install a call-blocking device on your landline. The FTC also urged customers to report unwanted calls to FTC.gov/complaint.

Translated by John London
Drama should not be fiction, art or technique…drama should be feeling, emotion…and above all, the joy of transgressing established forms.
How far can we go to seek truth in acting? The play explores the boundaries of truth on the stage. An actor expects to meet a big admirer, a Marquis, when he is swirled into a psychological game and an acting master class that will turn him into a lethal experiment.

Democracy is as profitable as McDonalds.
Is there anyone that still believes that as citizens we have any power upon our society? Inspired by the French theatrical genre of Grand Guignol, the 7 sketches set the spectator on the verge of horror and humour in astonishing surrealistic scenes. This collection of the burlesque unmasks the paradoxes generated by the times we are living in.
Premiering in the UK, and first performed in Barcelona in 2011, it is part of a trilogy that is already available in ten languages and has successfully performed around Europe, recently winning the Serra d’Or Prize 2012.

Autoflowering cannabis seeds have come a long way in the past decade. When the Lowryder seed company first germinated their Auto-Fem program (approximately 2003) the world of autoflowering was still virginal, vague – an unknown entity. There were very few actual 100% auto flowering seed varieties yet in existence, and the concept was only just then beginning to take form.
Historical point – the Mighty Might cannabis seed, a stocky, genetically predisposed early flowering strain from British Columbia, had garnered limited underground notoriety in the great White North, known for its ability to finish by the end of August. While it performed the basic functions of an autoflowering strain – the word had yet to evolve within the 420 world.
On the Dutch side of the equation, Sensi seeds had begun firing up their experimentation and production of ruderalis skunk, along with ruderalis Indica seeds for its online bean catalog. At one point during the crossbreeding experiments one of the breeders made a notation…
“around 50% of the ruderalis skunk plants will auto flower. As for the ruderalis Indica, blooming starts at the fifth and sixth set of branches, typically within 5 to 10 weeks of germination, depending on how quickly plants are available to vegetate in a given climate. The other 50% of plants grown from seed will react to photoperiod, and will be triggered to flower around the same time as strains such as early girl and early skunk. This makes it possible for garden growers to have a double harvest each season with ruderalis skunk.”
So, according to their early experimental observations – ruderalis skunk only autoflowered a fraction of the time. Frustrated by the spotty results the breeders threw her hands up in disgust, as they were either unable, or unwilling to stabilize that genetic trait.
An article that was published in cannabis culture magazine back in 2003 titled “The Return of Ruderalis” by DMT. Sure, Lowryder seeds may have “been there, done that” first, while suffering silently in obscurity they received no recognition in the 2003 article as it focused on an interesting discussion regarding the potential benefits that ruderalis hybrids might possess heading into the future. In their article they theorized that…
“Deep in the North American woods lurks a recent addition to the marijuana gene pool: ruderalis hybrids!” The writer of that article goes on to conclude that “a couple of autoflowers on the back deck will likely fit the lifestyle of many more folks, than would an ordinary grow room.”
Little did the marijuana cultivation community understand at the time – without the semi-wild cannabis ruderalis, the necessary autoflowering traits for today’s chronic autofem seeds would never have been discovered.

The San Antonio Spurs enter the 2018-19 season with more questions than answers. After one of the stranger seasons in franchise history, an organization that has historically been one of the most stable in the NBA is now searching for a new identity. The Spurs were essentially forced to part ways with superstar and franchise cornerstone Kawhi Leonard following a season in which he only played in nine games. Leonard battled with Spurs management over the extent of his injury, and his relationship with the organization devolved to the point where he requested a trade. Many thought that Leonard would be sent to his hometown of Los Angeles, either to the Lakers or the Clippers. Instead, the eventual destination was something of a surprise.
The Spurs traded Leonard to the Toronto Raptors, and accomplished two things in the process. For one, they managed to send Leonard out of the Western Conference, meaning that he’d be one less player the Spurs would need to contend with in an already difficult road to the playoffs. The Spurs also acquired an All-Star in exchange for Leonard, which is about as well as a situation like this can go. When teams are forced to trade one of their best players, they often don’t get as equal of a return. DeMar DeRozan may not be the player that Kawhi Leonard is, but he is still one of the best players in the league. Acquiring Derozan will ensure that the Spurs can stay reasonably competitive, even if they may no longer have championship aspirations.
Still, the Spurs experienced a lot of changes this offseason. The Leonard trade took up most of the headlines, but the Spurs were also dealt a blow after the retirement of Manu Ginobili and the departure of Tony Parker. Parker and Ginobili were the last bastions of an era of sustained dominance for the Spurs, two members of a “Big 3,” along with Tim Duncan, that won four NBA championships. With Duncan, Ginobili and Parker all gone, this brings a new challenge for head coach Gregg Popovich. Will he be able to establish a new era of Spurs success?
Here are 3 X-Factors for the 2018-19 San Antonio Spurs.

South corp attaches bank accounts of 114 tax defaulters
Taking a strong stand against property tax defaulters, the south corporation has attached the bank accounts of 114 properties, Hamari Jamatia reports.Updated: Sep 04, 2012 00:26 IST
Taking a strong stand against property tax defaulters, the south corporation has attached the bank accounts of 114 properties.
People and organisations with the highest amount of pending payments have been targeted.
Most of them had not paid taxes for years despite repeated warnings, said a source.
An official said the total due of all attached properties is to the tune of Rs 10 crore.
If the taxes are not paid even then, the corporation will auction the properties.
The highest number of these properties - 60 - lie in the Central Zone, followed by South and Nazafgarh zones with 29 and 25 properties respectively.
According to officials, Omaxe Square of the developer Omaxe Limited owes the corporation Rs 95 lakh and is one of the biggest defaulters and one of the company's accounts has been attached.
However, an Omaxe spokesperson said, "The property in question, Omaxe Square in Jasola, is a sold-out property. We will comply according to the regulations of the authority."
Property tax is the main source of income for municipal bodies.
Though there are nearly 40 lakh properties in the Capital, the three municipal corporations collectively receive taxes from only 10.6 lakh. In 2011, the unified MCD had planned to auction properties to generate more taxes but the process got delayed due to the trifurcation.
"Attaching bank accounts will also make other defaulters pay their taxes too. The corporation is also trying to identify more such properties," said a senior official of the corporation.

Today, ContentWise, the AI-powered experience automation and personalization company, and Ranker, the leading source for crowdsourced rankings with over 1 billion consumer votes on a multitude of M&E topics, announced a partnership that combines Ranker’s rich movie and TV correlation data models with the ContentWise UX Engine. This integration enables operators to leverage the power of fan-based rankings and collective consumer opinion directly on their platforms, extending viewership signals beyond their customer base, and significantly enhancing recommendations precision.
Ranker’s proprietary consumer sentiment and affinity data, “Ranker Insights”, produces correlation data powered by over 1.3 billion fan votes. In the entertainment category specifically, Ranker’s holistic view of consumer preferences spans more than 52,000 editorially-curated polls which generate rankings across tens of thousands of TV shows, movies, characters, casts and celebrities. By collecting post-consumption opinion data at a massive scale, Ranker’s psychographic engine uncovers insights into consumer viewing preferences across the entertainment ecosystem, including the walled gardens of major streaming platforms.
Thanks to “Pluggability”, a new feature ContentWise officially unveiled last month for its UX personalization and content discovery platform, the collaborative correlation data models provided by Ranker can now be run within the UX Engine platform. This new feature, built on ContentWise Open Connector, allows operators to seamlessly integrate any external, bespoke recommendation model into the UX Engine. With Pluggability, operators have the freedom and power to use any AI personalization model with UX Engine, marking a significant advancement in content personalization.
Pluggability and Ranker Insights enable unprecedented levels of recommendation accuracy and unique content discovery paths. In particular:
- Topical Homepage Carousels: Operators will have the ability to tap into Ranker’s vast catalog of editorially-curated lists organized by votable rankings to power home screen carousels directly within ContentWise’s UX Engine. These carousels present the user with topical content recommendations personalized to their tastes. Some Ranker list examples include:
- “Fans Also Like” Carousels: On movie and TV show detail pages, Ranker’s data will power “Fans Also Like” carousels. These carousels leverage the strength of Ranker’s affinity correlations data and ContentWise machine learning capabilities to surface title-based recommendations that key off of shared user sentiment rather than program-level metadata. This advantage allows operators to circulate a wider selection of their catalog while maintaining relevancy.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with ContentWise to provide adaptable, data-driven solutions to their impressive clientele of video operators, digital publishers, and online retailers,” adds David Yon, SVP and GM of Ranker Insights. “Our Ranker Insights platform has made extraordinary strides toward solving the problems associated with targeted marketing, editorial, and merchandising practices over the past few years, and we are confident we can help make ContentWise’s already successful CX solutions perform even stronger.”
“The combined power of consumer sentiment data by Ranker and personalization technology by ContentWise brings fresh new discovery and recommendations use cases to our partner operators” comments Renato Bonomini, VP of Sales Engineering and Ecosystem at ContentWise. “On the editorial side, topics from Ranker Insights are directly available within UX Engine to support content curation. From the algorithmic perspective, ratings from Ranker Insights increase the quality of our recommendation models.”
Both current and prospective ContentWise clients attending the 2023 IBC Show in Amsterdam on September 15-19 can visit the ContentWise stand located at H55 – Hall 5 to receive a visual demonstration of this Ranker + ContentWise partnership in full effect.

MarketsFarm — As the Canadian dollar pushes higher, canola prices could drop to the low end of its support or further, according to Errol Anderson of ProMarket Communications in Calgary.
The loonie closed Wednesday at 73.89 U.S. cents, after stepping above 74 U.S. cents a number of times during trading. At the end of the day, the Canadian dollar gained more than four-10ths of a cent.
In turn, that saw canola prices drop C$1.20 to finish at $478 per tonne for the November contract.
Should the loonie remain on the upswing, Anderson believes canola could fall to $468 per tonne by the fall before it meets resistance to drop any further.
“Especially if the loonie moves above 75 U.S. cents,” he warned.
Part of the conundrum was current weakness in the U.S. dollar index, which managed to finish at 96.00 on Wednesday after trading below that level for much of the day.
Essentially, the greenback lost ground to many of the major currencies around the world, including the loonie, primarily due to the ongoing spat between the U.S. and China and fears the COVID-19 pandemic could ravage the former’s economy.
“By osmosis we’re getting a boost,” Anderson said.
Added to that was the unlikeliness of strong gains in the soy complex on the Chicago Board of Trade. Anderson said it’s extremely likely China will fail to meet its obligations under the Phase One trade agreement with the U.S.
In that agreement’s first year, China was to purchase US$40 billion in U.S. agricultural goods and US$50 billion in the following year. Both would have shattered the record for purchases by China, which is about US$27 billion in the year before its trade war with the U.S. began.
Anderson noted China’s purchases of corn and soybeans during the week of July 13 helped a little, but such was a far cry from being enough.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported China acquired about 518,000 tonnes of soybeans and 1.89 million tonnes of corn so far during the week. With the marketing year set to end Sept. 1, and the prospect of large carryovers for the two crops, there will be a lot of pressure on them.
Given canola prices are closely aligned with the Chicago soy complex, should soybeans fall, canola would follow.

Read Aloud: Mortimer's First Garden by Karma Wilson
Can you imagine being a tiny mouse and the only thing you have ever done with seeds is eat them? What an outlandish thought to stick something you have always devoured and put it in the dirt! Sometimes the Lord asks us to do some outlandish things and by faith, we do. When we do, the abundance of joy is reaped.
I loved using this book to introduce the parts of a plant as it begins to grow from the seed that Mortimer planted in faith.
a Leaf Kitchen
To break down the process of photosynthesis, I brought in a toy oven, a 6 space muffin tin, a lightbulb to represent the sun, two different colored balloons, some sugar packets and little cards that have water droplets on it. I placed the 'ingredients' of photosynthesis in the muffin tin; water, light, and a balloon labeled carbon dioxide. I placed the muffin tin in the oven and had the students count to five. I took out the muffin tin, took out all the ingredients and replaced them with what is produced by photosynthesis; oxygen for us and sugar for the plant. Each student was able to place the ingredients in the tin, place it in the oven and replace the items with the products of oxygen and sugar.
Parts of a plant to the Muffin Man
I brought in some sunflower seeds for the students to see and hull for themselves. They could eat them if they wanted to. I also gave them a handout where they can cut and paste the parts of the plant. While we did this, we sang the Parts of a Plant song to the tune of Have you seen the Muffin Man. I found this song here
Duck Duck Goose Water Cycle Style
To review the water cycle, we played Duck Duck Goose but instead of saying Duck and Goose, we set the four parts of the water cycle; Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation and when we said 'Run off' the students were off...Each student had at least one chance to get up and say the different parts of the water cycle.
