Audi Sport customer racing is looking at getting drivers into the racing seat with a more cost-effective offering, designed to meet the 2020 GT2 racing regulations. Meet the track-only Audi R8 LMS GT2.
Audi Sport Customer Racing believes the Audi R8 LMS GT2 is the solution to the gap left for amateur racing. Head of the Audi division, Chris Reinke, said: “The new GT2 class has the potential to fill a gap. Eleven years ago, we entered GT3 racing, which has evolved into a highly professional category.
“The expense incurred by drivers and teams is high, and racing there is not easy for amateurs. The GT2 category is ideal for gentleman drivers: its longitudinal dynamics stands for a new experience with Audi, while its lateral dynamics do not put excessive demands even on amateurs.”
The €338,000 (around £300,000) R8 LMS GT2 is based on the production R8 Spyder but receives a raft of features including a revised chassis, a steel roll cage and a fierce-looking aerodynamic package.
The production model’s 5.2-litre V10 engine is more powerful than ever before, delivering 631bhp and over 550Nm of torque. It includes a new ram-air intake, a reconfigured ECU, and a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox drives the rear wheels.
The track-only R8 also receives a new traction control system and lightened wishbones, while the redesigned suspension geometry and reconfigured anti-lock brakes are from the same modular kit used by the R8 GT3 and R8 GT4.
As the aim of the R8 GT2 is to make the race car more driveable for the novice than a GT3, the aggressive aero package includes a large front splitter, dive planes, carbon fibre underbody panels and a rear diffuser. The exhaust protrudes through the rear bumper, underneath a gigantic rear wing.
To meet the FIA requirements, the Audi also includes a carbon fibre bucket seat with a six-point-racing harness, safety nets and a fire extinguisher system. In case of an accident, the R8 GT2 has a roof-mounted escape hatch for easy access should the rescue team need to get to the driver more quickly.
The windscreen and side window glass are made from polycarbonate to reduce weight and to meet the LMGTE side impact protection regulations, the doors are aluminium reinforced carbon-fibre units.
The GT2 class that this R8 will compete in will offer up some stiff competition in the form of the Porsche GT2 RS Clubsport, which should be the perfect recipe for exciting racing.

Kuredu Kitesurf Spot in Hinnavaru
Asia Kiteboard Spot in Maldives
Kuredu is a stunning island in the Maldives, offering a luxury kitesurfing getaway that’s tough to match for the scenery alone. The Maldives isn’t known for its pumping wind but Kuredu has a few windy months for kitesurfing each year and you can get lucky and have wind at any time of year. Kuredu offers a large area of flat shallow water inside the reef which is perfect for practicing your tricks or learning to kitesurf. The lagoon is protected by a 300m long jetty which means the water stays nice and flat for kiting even when the wind picks up.
It’s an idyllic location but that luxury comes at a cost, and it’s not a cheap place to visit. There’s only one resort on the island and it is beautiful, so if you are planning a trip to the Maldives anyway this could be a great option to combine a romantic luxury getaway with an epic kite trip! The resort offers all you could ever want and more, including a 6 hole golf course and driving range for guests, so there’s no shortage of things to do even if the wind isn’t good enough for kiteboarding.
Kuredu Kitesurfing wind conditions
The kiteboarding season starts in December and lasts till the end of February. During these months, the wind stays pretty stable and comes from the East, meaning the reef is well protected and flat, perfect for kitesurfing. The wind speed is generally somewhere between 15 and 35 knots, and blows all day long, with January being the windiest and most consistent month. The rest of the year offers wind speed ranging from 5 to 25 knots and can be hit or miss. As the wind in Kuredu is thermal, you cannot completely rely on the wind forecast so the trick here is to contact the local kite school and ask if the conditions are good. The Maldives are one of those locations where you’re not always going to score the wind, but take your gear and see.

Around the Kiteboarding Spot Kuredu
Kuredu resort is an all inclusive luxury resort in the Maldives, it’s a stunning location with all the amenities you’d expect for the price and some others on top! There is the aforementioned golf course, but also tennis, gym and spa, as well as all the watersports facilities for kitesurfing, windsurfing, sailing, SUP, diving and snorkelling. At the end of the day you’ll be able to unwind at any of the on-site bars and restaurants, order food directly to your room, or hit one of the regular parties they throw. There are also various other boat trips if you want to see around to some other islands, all of which can be booked via the resort.
- Not allowed, but possible
- At the spot
- A medical center
- Kite repair
How to get to Kuredu and how to bring it about while you're there
You’ll have to fly into Male International Airport (MLE) and then the resort will organise you a seaplane to reach Kuredu. Be aware that the weight limit onboard the seaplane is only 20kg, so you either pack light or you have to pay extra to get your kite gear to the island. The best idea is to ask the resort for more details when you book. You can only enter the island with a booking reservation so this is not the kind of place you can just rock up and get a room!

- Poorly developed
- Not recommended
There are no busses around. Therefor you can use one of the public transport boats, which bring you from one to the other island.

If you are looking to buy a new laptop, you should keep a few factors in mind. One of these factors is battery life. This laptop can easily last for over 10 hours with average use. Another factor is the touchscreen display. This feature is helpful when trying to get a little work done while on the go.
If you’re looking for a 14-inch business laptop with a touchscreen display, then the Dell Latitude E6420 might be your best choice. It has an excellent keyboard, solid performance, and long battery life.
Its sturdy design includes a MIL-STD 810G-certified Tri-Metal chassis. It also features a matte chrome bumper and reinforced steel hinges. The lid and ergonomic features are made from anodized aluminum.
The 14-inch touchscreen display on the Latitude E6420 is available in an HD+ resolution. The maximum brightness is 200 nit. The touchpad features two-finger gestures. Unfortunately, the touchscreen doesn’t support pen input.
The E6420’s chassis is designed to withstand heat and dust. It is equipped with a magnesium alloy internal frame and a spill-resistant keyboard. In addition, it is MIL-STD 810G-certified for protection against extreme temperatures.
The laptop has a 9-cell battery that lasted 8 hours on the LAPTOP Battery Test. Its display is also protected with a 360-degree bumper.
Intel Core i7-2760QM processor
Dell’s Latitude E6420 is a business-rugged laptop that offers durability, impressive performance, and many features. This model has an Intel Core i7-2760QM processor, 6Gb DDR3 RAM, and a 160GB hard drive.
This model is also one of the most environmentally friendly machines available. The computer is made from anodized aluminum, reinforced steel, and Tri-Metal. In addition, it is certified by MIL-STD 810G, meaning it can withstand the rigors of working in a dusty or wet environment.
The Latitude E6420’s most impressive feature is its ability to launch heavy applications without lag. For example, it can load 20 Chrome tabs without slowing down and is also able to perform video editing tasks.
In addition to the Intel Core i7-2760QM, the E6420 has a dedicated graphics card, Nvidia NVS4200M. This is not something you usually see on a laptop. In addition, this particular option comes with one GB of dedicated VRAM. The E6420 can also be ordered with a touchscreen display, although it costs an additional $200.
NVIDIA NVS 4200M graphics card
The Dell latitude e6420 is a capable 14-inch business laptop that packs plenty of punch. A nine-cell Lithium Ion battery provides plenty of power, and a touchscreen is available for an additional fee. The quad-core Intel Core i7-2760QM CPU, with a base clock speed of 2.40 GHz and a boost clock rate of 3.50 GHz, is not wrong. A 1 GB dedicated VRAM will keep the system chugging along, and a 7.1 channel HD audio port abounds. The Dell latitude e6420 has the build quality to match. The laptop also comes with a slew of other valuable features.
One of the most exciting features of the Dell latitude e6420 is its optional touchscreen. The display is capable of multitasking, and it can support 20 Chrome tabs without lagging. The laptop also packs many multimedia features, such as 7.1 channel HD audio transmitted via HDMI.
If you are considering a new Dell Latitude E6420 laptop, you may wonder how long the battery will last. The good news is that you can get a decent amount of time out of the storm. It can easily last up to 3.5-5 hours. However, if you’re looking to play games, you should limit your usage.
This Dell laptop has a nine-cell battery. This makes it a little heavier than other fourteen-inch business notebooks. It weighs 6.2 pounds. The battery has an 87Wh capacity.
You can also get an extended-life battery that has three different cells. This will increase your overall runtime by a few minutes. It is also physically more significant than the original six-cell battery. This battery is rated at 5225 mAh, comparable to the standard capacity.
It is essential to charge your battery before using it. Leaving your battery unused will only accelerate its wear and tear. The battery should also be stored in a cool, dry place.

Forests, grasslands play important role in carbon cycle
By Summit Voice
SUMMIT COUNTY — Western forests, grasslands, shrublands and other ecosystems sequester about 100 million tons of carbon each year, equivalent to about 5 percent of the nation’s total annual greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new report released this week by the U.S. Department of Interior.
“This important study confirms the major role that our natural landscapes have in absorbing carbon and helping to counter-balance the nation’s carbon emissions,” said Deputy Secretary of the Interior David J. Hayes. “This kind of groundbreaking science not only will help us be more effective stewards of our lands, but it also helps reveal how our forests, wetlands and rangelands in the West — and throughout the nation — are positively impacting the carbon cycle.” (more…)

You Really Do Become Invisible": Examining Older Adults' Rights to Urban Environments in the UK
Ryan Woolrych (Heriot Watt University)
An aging population presents new challenges to designing urban environments that support and promote everyday engagement and healthy living for older adults. Existing urban environments often support a form of ‘architectural disability’ where the design of buildings and places create conditions for the social isolation, dependency and exclusion of older adults. The World Health Organisation’s Global Age Friendly Cities movement and associated guidelines have identified the need to design cities and communities that optimise opportunities for health, participation and security in order to enhance quality of life as people age. Ensuring that age friendly urban environments create opportunities for active ageing require cities and communities that support the rights to access and move around the city and be actively involved in the making and re-making of the city. These initiatives raise important questions – What are older adults experiences of participating in the city? What are the challenges and opportunities in supporting older adults rights to the city? What more can be done in the design and delivery of age-friendly cities to support active ageing? Our current ESRC funded study on ‘Place-making with Older People: Towards Age Friendly Communities’ 2016-19 (www.placeage.org) attempts to answer these questions by understanding the lived experiences of older adults across different urban areas. Drawing on qualitative data (semi-structured interviews, walking interviews, photo diaries, knowledge cafés and community mapping workshops) collected in three cities (Glasgow, Edinburgh and Manchester) across nine neighbourhoods in the UK we present key themes emerging from the data which speak to older adults’ rights to urban environments: mobility and access, social participation, safety and security and involvement in decision-making. Through the accounts of older adults’ we will offer potential recommendations for supporting ageing-in-place that reflects a rights based approach to age-friendly cities.

Man accused of killing mother & twin sister expected in court
The alleged attack occurred in Lwandle at the weekend.
CAPE TOWN - A man is expected to appear in the Strand Magistrates Court on Monday in connection with the murder of his mother and twin sister.
The attack occurred in Lwandle at the weekend.
The police's Noloyiso Rwexana says the motive is unclear.
“According to information, the suspect stabbed two victims aged 60 and 22. The suspect was later arrested on the N2. The case is under investigation.”


Thick black smoke filled the sky surrounding the Houston suburbs last week as a massive fire burned at a petrochemical storage facility for four days. Residents of two Texas cities were told to shelter in place as hazardous chemical vapors escaped the foam blanket put in place to extinguish the industrial fire.
“We were held hostage in our own homes,” longtime Deer Park resident Steve Michels said. “It’s just been horrendous.”
Concerns for the health risks facing residents of Deer Park were exacerbated over the weekend. A containment wall at the Intercontinental Terminals Company (ITC) facility broke Friday, sparking another fire and sending chemical waste into waterways that lead to the Houston Ship Channel. The Coast Guard shut down a stretch of that busy shipping channel, with no timetable for when it will reopen.
On Saturday, ITC officials and local authorities continued to assure Deer Park residents that the city is safe. “Our community-monitored programs generated no levels of immediate health concerns,” said Alice Richardson, ITC public information officer.
Some area residents like Brian Williams don’t trust these assurances. He lives 10 miles from the ITC facility that first caught fire a week ago. “I have a garden in my backyard. I’m about to take it up,” he says. “I’m not going to eat anything out of it anymore.”
Tests performed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality over the weekend found nine specific chemicals that “exceed their health-protective concentration level,” in water from a ditch at the ITC facility that flows into the channel. But TCEQ says there’s no threat to the public drinking water.
‘It’s not good for you, we know it’s not’
Last Tuesday, smoke blew over the roof of Williams’ home. He started feeling ill by Wednesday and he vomited on Friday. He says he’s confident the symptoms he felt “didn’t have anything to do with the pollen in the air.”
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality tested the air quality in the area over the weekend, finding low levels of benzene, one of the potentially cancer-causing chemicals they also found in the ditch water. The levels detected weren’t high enough to cause health concerns, TCEQ says.
Nevertheless, Williams’ skepticism continues. “They say we can’t smoke cigarettes, it’s bad for your lungs, it’s bad for your health,” he says. “So when you put heat on any type of chemicals it’s not good for you, we know it’s not.”
Acute exposure to benzene can cause headaches, dizziness or loss of consciousness, the World Health Organization says. Chronic exposure can lead to cancer.
Michels, who’s lived in the area for more than 20 years, felt his eyes burning and had shortness of breath this week. He went to a local clinic for help. He wanted his blood tested specifically for benzene, but his insurance wouldn’t cover it. He says he was told it would cost him approximately $350 out of pocket.
“A lot of us can’t afford to go to the doctor,” Williams explains. “So we have to live with this.”
‘It is always hard to tell’
Complaints of itchy skin, stuffy and bloody noses, and tightness in the chest have been brought to Dr. Umair Shah’s attention in the days since the fire began.
Shah says the Harris County Community Building has become “something akin to a health fair.” Shah, the executive director of Harris County Public Health, has set up a mobile health clinic there.
“People come to us and they say, ‘This is related to something in the exposure.’ We are certainly keeping that in mind, but doctors are making that evaluation,” he explains. “The question about whether those symptoms were related to the fire, it is always hard to tell.”
“Conditions are changing, daily. People are very stressed, and (stress) can exacerbate their symptoms” says Elena Craft, senior director of the Climate and Health Program at the Environmental Defense Fund.
Her nonprofit has been working side by side with federal and local agencies taking both air and water samples.
Her biggest concern — the material inside the tanks that has yet to be disposed of. ITC continues to pump chemical waste from the charred tanks and contaminated waterways. The company announced Sunday that significantly less remains in the tanks and in the contaminated drainage ditches.
Meanwhile, as the smoke dissipates, concerns mount for those who call this part of Texas home.
“This kind of incident should’ve never happened,” Craft lamented.

M.Collari Sirio S12 T3 Evo 2 engine
what piston liner material does this motor use?
is it as relaible as nova based motors?
will i have to replace the carby as per the original sirio motors?
For more than 13 years Mauro Collari, father of the 6 time 1/8 scale World Champion, Lamberto Collari. has been modifying standard engines to obtain the maximum power possible. Every piece is hand picked one by one, to have the exact tolerance, and each labor is done manually, with the maximum precision, there, where machines can not possibly reach.
Unlike most engine tuners who disassemble then reassemble an engine, the M.Collari line has access to SIRIO engines from Star Motor Company.
In addition to a hand selected and fit Piston and Sleeve. It features a polished exhaust port, modified transfer ports, and enlarged boost port cavity in the engine case. The crankshaft is balanced after deepening the primary flute on the face, and after opening the timing. It has a specially designed low center gravity cooling head, for which the upper two fins of the block are machined to allow the head to sit lower. This engine series is assembled in small batches, individually.
LAMBERTO COLLARI .12 ENGINES
Lamberto Collari Normal .12 AAC 3-Port EFRA Turbo Engine
LC12 PRO 3E 1.52 hp @ 39,000 rpm
Mauro Collari Modified .12 AAC 3-Port Turbo Engine (EFRA or IFMAR/ROAR)
LC12 PRO 3E MC 1.68 hp @ 41,000 rpm
There is no problem with the composite 3 needle carb. That is a problem of the past. This engine is simply ballistic. I think it is the fastest engine out there today, very similar to the engines that just won the 200mm worlds in Brasil.

Are we in the 21st-century theatre or at a Celtic heritage park?: QUENTIN LETTS reviews Henry IV Part I
Henry IV Part I (Royal Shakespeare Theatre)
Sack-soaked carouser: Sir Anthony Sher as Falstaff
Two men, four swords, clashing, clanging: in that final fight between Prince Hal and Harry Hotspur, Stratford’s new Henry IV Part I finally leaves behind some hoary moments and achieves the necessary brio.
It is at times a close-run thing.
Director Gregory Doran is a believer in giving history plays the traditional treatment but in places here the costumes and sets become almost ersatz.
Are we in the 21st-century theatre or at a Celtic heritage park?
Sir Antony Sher plays Falstaff, that sorry, sack-soaked carouser and coward.
Sir Antony has undeniable stage presence yet he could never be accused of rushing a sentence.
On the few occasions this Falstaff smiles, we see an impishness, a sparkle, that his performance elsewhere lacks.
Sudden seriousness comes to his voice when he tells Hal that he will have to return to court to attend to the gathering prospect of civil war.
But would this Falstaff ever be sufficiently infectious a companion to amuse a prince? If Sir Antony gave us more pudgy bonhomie at the start it might accentuate the cynicism of later scenes when Falstaff dodges his duty on the field of battle.
The stars of this show are Alex Hassell as a strikingly handsome Hal (he is even prettier than Jude Law 15 years ago) and Trevor White as a madly aggressive Hotspur.
What a contrast they are, Hal dark-haired, relaxed, ‘a truant to chivalry’ but later a gentleman, while Hotspur is bulgy-eyed, blond, boiling for a fight.
Jasper Britton’s King Henry, who has plainly had more than his share of roast swan, stays just the right side of ham.
That can not be said of a scene with Owen Glendower (Joshua Richards done up like a Monty Python Viking) and the Scots Douglas (Sean Chapman – or was it Billy Connolly?).
Despite these risible excesses, Shakespeare’s thrilling language hauls us back to the drama. The orange and silver lighting enriches it. And the double-handed sword fight saves the day.

Hoping for a ride: Many commuters in the Klang Valley complain about the difficulty of hailing a taxi during bad weather and peak hours.
PETALING JAYA: Taxis disappear from the roads during bad weather and peak hours, complained commuters.
Student Nurul Farhana Hanafiah, 18, said it was easy to hop into a taxi when the roads were clear and the weather sunny.
“It depends on the area... but if it’s rainy, it becomes super difficult to find a taxi,” she said.
Filipino Arnell Eimog, 35, said that when it rained, even if he used (smartphone app) MyTeksi, the operator would inform him there would be no taxis coming.
An Indonesian who wanted only to be known as Suriyanti, 30, said taxi drivers here were very choosy, where people like herself appeared to be ignored in favour of richer-looking passengers.
“If they dress better or are orang putih (Caucasians), they will take them and not me,” she said.
Many netizens also recount bad experiences with rogue cabbies.
On Twitter, @MeiLingChin said: “Just go to KLCC and you’ll see them harassing the passengers, dictating the price, parking illegally (and) obstructing traffic.”
@Amu_Ma has also endured “countless events” of errant behaviour: “No meter, charged four times the usual price, took other passengers without permission.”
There was no shortage of complaints on Facebook either.
Netizen Melinda Soh said Penang was notorious for exorbitant cab fare: “A short 5km distance is already RM20 (without meter)!”
Shashi Netto said: “There should be fixed rates for journeys with meters. Enforcement authorities should check meters from time to time as they are frequently tampered with.”
Mohen Subramaniam said that taxis parked at monorail, bus and LRT stations overcharge without meter.
“Increase the number of enforcement officers and the working hours. Check them daily for drugs and alcohol.”

Posted on November 19, 2007, Ron Whitaker Unreal Tournament 3 Ships for PC, PS3 Version Coming Soon
Yes, you heard right. The PC version of Unreal Tournament 3 is now available. Simply head out to your favorite software store, and drop $49.95 for the regular version or $59.95 for the collector’s edition. This news is only for the PC version of the game; however, the press release states that the PS3 version is scheduled to be available soon.
It’s always interesting to see what developers have to say about their game at launch. Mark Rein of Epic Games said of UT3, “Unreal Tournament 3 delivers on the promise of high-caliber game quality that gamers have come to know and expect from Epic Games and the Unreal franchise. The power of Unreal Engine 3.0 has enabled the development team to set new expectations for what cutting-edge graphical and gameplay quality for a first-person shooter should be.”
I wonder how well this installment of the series will do in light of the recent release of Call of Duty 4, and the hordes of folks already playing it online. The Unreal Tournament games have always drawn a fairly large group of hardcore devotees though, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see some pretty impressive sales figures for this iteration. It’s also interesting to note that Epic just released Gears of War for the PC, which would seem to be a direct competitor to UT3. Of course, when you’re competing with yourself, the winner is predetermined, right?


Soludo Receives Kwankwaso, Says The Country Need True Leaders Who Cares
According to Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, Governor of Anambra State, the country needs leaders who genuinely care about it. Ndigbo, according to him, are nomads who can’t afford to be an intolerant tribe.
When Alhaji Rabiu Kwankwaso, the National People’s Party’s presidential candidate, paid him a courtesy call at the Governor’s Lodge in Amawbia, Governor Soludo made this statement.
“I want to congratulate you on your tenacity, your faith in the country, your outstanding public service, and your dedication to our country.
I’ve always believed that individuals with much to offer should give through their involvement in the community. The largest kind of giving is public service.
We take pride in being republicans, which means the freedom to speak, in Anambra and throughout the South East.
Azikiwe, Akweke, Chinua Achebe, Okadigbo, and many others all call Anambra home, and people who freely express and associate with one another are well-known to live here.
“We cannot afford to be an intolerant tribe since we are nomads. We have a proverb that goes, “Oje mba, enwe ilo.”
“In my opinion, everyone should be given the freedom to freely canvass and let the public make their decision.
“Where the country is now and where it will be in the future is a significant problem. The time has come for progressives to start considering the average citizen, according to Governor Soludo.
“The work is demanding, even after the election. Regardless of the outcome, we must sort through the candidates and select a coalition of like-minded individuals to lead this nation’s transition.
“We are fortunate. We have many difficulties, but we require citizens who have a strong sense of pride in their nation. Nigeria has a chance to rank among the top seven economies in the world.
“Even though I’ve been totally focused on what’s going on in my party, we wish you well in this movement.
“This state is fortunate. To make it work, we are doing everything we can.
“Kano is home to a sizable portion of our population. We are major stakeholders everywhere as Ndigbo.
“Our politics in Anambra are such that while we are campaigning, we may fight among ourselves, but following the election, you will find our people mingling and chit-chatting. It’s not a matter of do or die. The Governor said that everyone should be able to openly campaign.
Chief of Staff to the Governor, Mr Ernest Ezeajughi, Principal Secretary to the Governor, Barrister JPC Anetoh, Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Mr. Collins Nwabunwanne his Information and Special Duties Counterparts, Sir Paul Nwosu and Barrister Sly Ezeokenwa, among others, were also present during the visit.

Most state legislatures reconvene in early January, and by February they’re in full swing, moving some bills forward and killing others in committee. This year 27 state legislatures are considering bills pertaining to cannabis in some form. (Well, okay: 26. Mississippi had two medical marijuana bills, but they’re already dead.) Some states are pushing full adult-use legalization. Others are pulling back on medical legalization measures adopted by voters last November. We’ll keep tracking them as they live and die. Most state legislatures adjourn by early June. Stay tuned.
House Bill 2003 – Would legalize the use, possession, and sales of up to one ounce of cannabis for adults over the age of 21.
- Likelihood of passing: Arizona came within a hair’s breadth of passing Proposition 205 last year and this bill is sure to see some traction. But do lawmakers prefer to leave it up to the voters?
House Bill 1400 & Senate Bill 357 – Would ban the smoking of medical cannabis and remove a portion of the law that allows landlords to permit patients to smoke on a leased property.
House Bill 1391 – Would allow cities and towns to ban medical dispensaries and cultivation sites.
House Bill 1392 – Would ban the production and sale of edibles for medical use.
- Likelihood of passing: All three bills are fairly likely to pass, as the Arkansas Legislature is Republican-controlled, with a majority holding an anti-cannabis stance, including the governor and the surgeon general.
Senate Bill 175 – Would prohibit cannabis businesses from using the name of a county unless the cannabis was produced in that county.
- Likelihood of passing: Almost certain to pass. California has a reputation for embracing all things cannabis and this bill in particular would help protect the livelihood of certain cannabis businesses.
Assembly Bill 1578 – Would prohibit local and state authorities from aiding federal prosecution of state-legal cannabis businesses.
- Likelihood of passing: This bill has a high likelihood of passage. California has been waiting for years to finally legalize cannabis and with adult use just beyond the horizon, to see federal authorities swoop in and shut it down would be devastating. Californians want to protect their livelihood and this bill would offer some protection.
Senate Bill 17-017 – Would allow medical marijuana for patients suffering from stress disorders, including PTSD and acute stress disorder.
- Likelihood of passing: This is the fifth petition to add PTSD to Colorado’s medical marijuana program, and while this has advanced further than the previous attempts, it’s still a toss-up.
Senate Bill 17-192 – Would allow medical and adult-use cannabis shops to apply for a permit to make home deliveries of cannabis.
- Likelihood of passing: This has considerable support from the legislature and the community. Seems like cannabis delivery services could be coming soon to Colorado.
House Bill 1220 – would place a cap on the number of plants that can be possessed or grown on residential property at 16 plants.
- Likelihood of passing: Despite outrage from home cultivators, legislators have embraced this bill as an effort to divert cannabis from the black market, meaning this bill has a high likelihood of passing.
House Bill 5539 – Would legalize and regulate the retail sale, personal growth, and recreational use of marijuana in order to raise revenue for the General Fund and for substance abuse treatment, prevention, education, and awareness.
Senate Bill 11 – Would legalize and tax the sale of marijuana.
- Likelihood of passing: Connecticut is a fairly liberal little state, and now that the dominoes have fallen around them with the legalization of Massachusetts and Maine, there’s a much greater chance that Connecticut could legalize cannabis this year. The House bill has much more support and is a more comprehensive proposal than SB11, giving it a higher chance of making it through the Legislature.
House Bill 65 – Would remove requirements that patients be in the end stages of a disease to qualify for medical cannabis and would also add several new qualifying medical conditions, including PTSD and autism.
- Likelihood of passing: Fairly slim, unfortunately. Lawmakers have been trying to pass a similar bill for the last two years and the Legislature fears that medical legalization is a slippery slope to adult use. HB65 will likely die on the House floor.
Senate Bill 16 – To lower the percent of THC allowed in MMJ from 5% to 3%.
- Likelihood of passing: This has already passed through the Senate Health and Human Services Committee and will likely pass through the House and Senate, despite the fact that there is no scientific reasoning to lower the amount of THC permitted.
Senate Bill 548 – Would legalize the personal use, possession, and sale of cannabis for adult use, and license and regulate retail marijuana establishments.
- Likelihood of passing: This bill has a better than chance than many legalization measures this year, but since they are still dealing with the dispensary licensing process, they may want to wait until dispensaries are open and firmly established before moving on to legalization.
Senate Bill 16 – Would decriminalize the possession of up to one ounce of cannabis unless on school property or in a school zone.
- Likelihood of passing: This has a pretty high likelihood of passing and would, in essence, create a barebones legalization. Possession would be unpunishable, but sales would still be prohibited. The bill makes a legal exemption for MMJ patients, but curiously, makes no mention of age limits, effectively allowing anyone to possess cannabis, including children. This will likely be amended before passing, but the Legislature will surely want to address that.
Senate Bill 255 – Would legalize the use and possession of up to eight ounces of cannabis for medicinal use with a physician’s recommendation.
- Likelihood of passing: This is the seventh time this medical marijuana bill has been introduced in Indiana, and it is fairly unlikely to succeed.
Senate Bill 15 – Would legalize hemp oil for the treatment of children with epilepsy.
- Likelihood of passing: This is more likely to pass than Senate Bill 255; however, if it does pass, it is unlikely to provide safe access to state-produced legal hemp oil, even for patients who qualify.
Senate Bill 187 – Would enact the Kansas Safe Access Act to allow for the safe, legal, humanitarian and therapeutic use of cannabis for medical conditions, as well as establishing compassion center, a compassion board and the issuance of identification cards for patients.
- Likelihood of passing: This bill is thorough and well-written, but, unfortunately, the Republican-controlled Congress is pretty unlikely to give this bill the time of day.
House Bill 2152 – Would allow the treatment of certain medical conditions with hemp oil containing no more than 3% THC, create and establish an infrastructure for cultivating and distributing the cannabis oil to qualified patients.
- Likelihood of passing: This bill has a higher chance of passing than a full medical marijuana measure, but with Kansas Legislature, it’s anyone’s guess.
House Bill 411 – Would create a new section of the Kentucky Revised Statutes to allow physicians to recommend cannabis for medical purposes, and hold physicians harmless for making the recommendation.
- Likelihood of passing: Kentucky has never had much luck when it comes to passing cannabis-related measures, but this one is barebones enough that it just might move forward.
Senate Bill 928 – To repeal civil and criminal prohibitions of the use and possession of cannabis for adults 21 years of age and older.
- Likelihood of passing: This bill is not particularly likely to pass, as the state is still struggling to get their medical marijuana program up and running.
Senate Bill 798 – Would reduce the penalties for the use and possession of less than 10 grams of cannabis for the first and second offense to a civil fine of no more than $100.
- Likelihood of passing: This is far more likely to pass and would be an improvement overall for the state. With a significant minority population, reducing the number of cannabis-related arrests would definitely assist with race relations and the law enforcement community.
H.F. 927 – Would legalize the use, possession, cultivation, distribution, and sales of cannabis for adults over the age of 21.
- Likelihood of passing: Very unlikely. Minnesota has one of the strictest medical cannabis programs in the country and the likelihood of the Legislature passing a full legalization measure is almost nil.
Senate Bill 2378 – Would allow physicians to recommend medical cannabis as a treatment option for patients who qualify, and patients could possess up to three mature plants, four immature plants, and up to 30 grams of cannabis from each plant.
- Likelihood of passing: Pretty slim. Mississippi is notoriously conservative and do not have anything even remotely resembling an MMJ program.
- Update: Died in committee on January 31, 2017.
Senate Bill 2379 – Would remove marijuana and hashish from the state list of Schedule 1 controlled substances, as well as all criminal penalties.
- Likelihood of passing: Fairly unlikely. This has a better chance of passing through the Legislature, but a decriminalization measure to reduce penalties to a civil fine (rather than removing penalties completely) would stand a much stronger chance.
- Update: Died in committee on January 31, 2017.
Legislative Bill 167 – Would include cannabidiol as a Schedule V controlled substance, available for medicinal use.
- Likelihood of passing: This is somewhat dependent on the state’s acting chief medical officer, Dr. Thomas Williams, who has expressed opposition to this bill in particular.
Legislative Bill 622 – Would allow qualifying medical patients to access cannabis for medicinal purposes with the recommendation of a physician.
- Likelihood of passing: This one’s a toss-up. On the one hand, Nebraskans are known for their “nice” nature, including compassion, hence the “compassion centers” outlined in the law. The bill has a better chance of being approved than a voter initiative, but with the Midwest, it’s anyone’s guess.
Senate Bill 236 – Would allow for local governments to issue licenses to certain businesses to allow for the consumption of cannabis onsite.
- Likelihood of passing: This bill would be an absolute gamechanger if it passes. Not only would it be one of the first laws to allow for public consumption, it would have a huge impact on the local economy for tourism. Nevada has been pretty friendly towards cannabis in the past – could this bill be the future?
House Bill 640 – Would reduce the penalty for the possession of to to one ounce of cannabis for adults to a $100 fine for the first offense, $200 for the second offense, and $350 for any subsequent offenses.
- Likelihood of passing: This bill has already advanced through the committee, which means it has a fighting chance. The House voted overwhelmingly to approve it, and it’s headed for the Senate now.
Senate Bill 233 – Would legalize the use and possession of up to one ounce of cannabis for personal use by adults.
- Likelihood of passing: This bill is not quite as likely to pass as the decriminalization measure, as this is the first measure to legalize cannabis that has been introduced in New Hampshire.
Senate Bill 8 – Would presume eligibility for those applying to be in the medical marijuana program. This has widely been reported as allowing veterans to automatically qualify for the MMJ program, but it appears more aimed at cutting down the application process time, which has plagued New Mexico in recent months.
- Likelihood of passing: If the New Mexico Department of Health can skip even one step towards processing MMJ applications, it could cut wait times down significantly, as well as allowing better access, which means it would be in the best interest of the state government for this bill to pass. That being said, there will likely be some pushback from those concerned about ineligible residents taking advantage of the system.
Senate Bill 177 – Would increase the number of plants producers can grow depending on the number of patients, and would add 14 new medical marijuana conditions to the state’s MMJ program.
- Likelihood of passing: So far, this bill has been sailing through the Legislature with flying colors. It would significantly increase the number of patients who qualify for the program, but would also help address the issues with supply and demand.
House Bill 102 – The Marijuana Tax Act would legalize the use, possession, and sales of cannabis for those over the age of 21.
- Likelihood of passing: This may have a better chance of passing than SB8, as New Mexico has a strong MMJ program and has considered adult use legalization for several years now.
House Bill 89 – The Cannabis Revenue and Freedom Act would tax and regulate the sales, possession and use of cannabis for adults over the age of 21.
- Likelihood of passing: Unfortunately, this bill died in the House Business and Industry Committee, but HB102 may still have a chance to pass through committee. However, Gov. Susana Martinez has repeatedly vowed to veto any legislation to legalize cannabis, so it remains to be seen just how far a legalization measure can make it.
Bill No. S03040 – Would enact the “Marihuana Regulation and Taxation Act” to legalize the growing, possession, and use of cannabis for adults 18 years of age and older.
- Likelihood of passing: Slim to none. This bill has been introduced four years running and has been shot down every time. Aside from that, it seems more pertinent to improve the barely-functioning medical marijuana program before dipping into the waters of adult use legalization.
A. 2142 – Would seal the criminal records for those who have been convicted of simple possession of cannabis in public.
- Likelihood of passing: This bill has already gained traction and would be keeping in line with the newly implemented cannabis policy of no longer arresting individuals for the simple possession of cannabis in a public place.
Senate Bill 2344 – Would significantly alter the recently passed Compassionate Care Act to reduce the amount of cannabis patients may possess, eliminate any option of home cultivation, and to cap the number of dispensaries and cultivators.
- Likelihood of passing: There’s been enough pushback from advocates and even within the Legislature that it is unlikely that this bill will pass in its current form. The Legislature may, however, pass a similarly-worded bill in the future.
House Bill 1877 – Would protect any qualifying medical marijuana patient from arrest or prosecution, so long as they qualify with the recommendation of a physician. A Medical Marijuana Commission would be charged with creating and overseeing dispensary and cultivation facilities.
- Likelihood of passing: Pretty slim chances here. Oklahoma’s a strong Bible Belt state, and conservative legislators are unlikely to consider an MMJ push too seriously, even with 71 percent of Oklahomans in support.
Senate Bill 301 – Would prohibit employers from requiring employees to refrain from using state-legal substances on their days off work.
- Likelihood of passing: This is a fascinating bill, but it’s a long shot. State legalization laws generally allow employers to call the shots on employment practices, particularly related to cannabis usage. If this passes, it could set a new precedent and inspire similar laws in other adult-use states.
H. 5274 – Would legalize the use, possession, and regulated sales of cannabis for adults 21 years of age and older.
- Likelihood of passing: This has a very good chance to pass. Because Rhode Island does not allow voter initiatives, and their best chance for legalization is through the Legislature. Rhode Island has come close to legalization in the past few years – could 2017 be their year?
S. 212 – The South Carolina Compassionate Care Act would legalize cannabis for use by qualified patients with the recommendation of a physician.
- Likelihood of passing: This bill has a better chance than it would have even just a few years ago. There is a great deal of support for medical marijuana in South Carolina, but it may need to be enacted through the voters, rather than the Legislature.
Senate Bill 129 – Would remove a longstanding state law that places a cannabis user at risk of legal prosecution if they have ingested cannabis, whether or not they have cannabis on their person.
- Likelihood of passing: This outdated law should have been removed from the books years ago. SB 129, which would do that, will hopefully pass with flying colors. This is a terrible law that should be removed.
Senate Bill 269 – Would allow patients with certain debilitating conditions to receive medical cannabis with a doctor’s recommendation.
- Likelihood of passing: It is fairly unlikely that this medical marijuana bill will have a fighting chance in the Legislature. The state legalized low-THC cannabis oil in 2015, but they have yet to create the infrastructure for the program. It may be some time before MMJ makes its way to Texas.
House Bill 81 – Would reduce criminal penalties for individuals who possess an ounce or less of cannabis to a civil fine.
Senate Bill 170 – Would reduce the penalties for the possession of a small amount of cannabis to a civil fine.
- Likelihood of passing: These decriminalization measures have a higher likelihood of passing. Texas is a cannabis curious state, but the state’s officials are cautious when it comes to making any sudden moves on cannabis in the Legislature.
House Bill 130 – Would allow universities to study the medicinal benefits of cannabis and cannabinoid products.
- Likelihood of passing: This actually has a decent chance of passing, mostly because it will do very little to change the actual availability of medical cannabis in Utah. However, with the advancement of positive research, it will give pro-cannabis lawmakers ammunition for future MMJ endeavors.
House Bill 2135 – Would allow physicians to recommend medical cannabis for the treatment of any medical condition.
- Likelihood of passing: Very unlikely. Although it has a progressive law on the books allowing an affirmative defense in court if caught with CBD oil, Virginia has proven reluctant to pass any fuller medical marijuana legislation.
- Update: Died in the Courts of Justice
House Bill 1635 – Would allow Virginians suffering from Crohn’s disease to use non-psychoactive oil derived from CBD and THC-A cannabinoids.
- Update: Died in the Courts of Justice
Senate Bill 1452 – Would legalize physician-prescribed CBD and THC-A oil for patients who suffer from cancer or epilepsy.
Senate Bill 1298 – Would provide an affirmative defense for the possession or distribution of marijuana for medical purposes.
- Likelihood of passing:Virginia is notoriously anti-cannabis and although these bills resort to the most basic affirmative defense for a very small percentage of patients who may potentially qualify, in the event that they are caught with cannabis oil, it’s highly unlikely that Virginia will take this baby step.
Senate Bill 1027 – Would permit the pharmaceutical processing of cannabidiol and THC-A oil for the treatment of intractable epilepsy.
- Likelihood of passing: This bill is ahuge step forward in simply being introduced the Virginia Legislature, in that it would allow in-state production and access to cannabis-based medicines. That being said, that doesn’t increase its chances of making it out of committee.
S.16 – Would expand the list of qualifying medical conditions, increase the number of dispensaries from four to eight, and increase the amount of cannabis patients can possess from two ounces to three ounces.
- Likelihood of passing: It has already advanced through the Vermont Senate with no opposition and seems all but a sure thing.
H. 170 – Would remove all criminal and civil penalties for the possession of two ounces or less of cannabis and the cultivation of two mature and seven immature cannabis plants for adults over the age of 21. It would not create a regulatory structure for retail sales.
- Likelihood of passing: Vermont officials have been studying Colorado’s legalization for years. They came so close to legalizing in 2016, but were foiled at the last minute by fears about the opioid crisis. One year later, politicians and the public are more aware of studies showing that cannabis actually helps alleviate that crisis. This could be the year in Vermont.
House Bill 1092 – Would legalize the home cultivation of cannabis for personal use by adults over the age of 21.
- Likelihood of passing: This bill is a toss-up. There’s no doubt that cannabis consumers in Washington want home cultivation, but the Washington Legislature has been skittish about making too many changes to adult-use measures as they stand.
House Bill 3035 – Would allow the legal sales, taxation and regulation of cannabis to adults over the age of 21 in a manner similar to alcohol.
- Likelihood of passing: Not a chance. But it’s really encouraging to see a state as conservative as West Virginia take up the torch for cannabis legalization, no matter the odds.
Senate Bill 10 – Would allow for the use and possession of cannabidiol oil for medicinal purposes with the recommendation of a physician (only if and when cannabidiol is rescheduled at a federal level).
- Likelihood of passing: This is not particularly likely to pass, and even if it did, it is unlikely that the state would make any moves to enact it. Part of the bill specifies a requirement that CBD would have to be rescheduled at a federal level for the law to be workable, so it’s really just a good faith measure.
Assembly Bill 49 – Similarly, this bill also requires federal rescheduling to be workable, but would allow for the use of cannabidiol oil for medicinal purposes.
- Likelihood of passing: Both laws require some kind of federal policy reform in order to be workable, and the Republican-controlled Legislature has proved time and again that they are unwilling to consider cannabis in any form medicine.
House Joint Resolution 11 – Would amend the Wyoming Constitution to allow the cultivation, use, possession, and regulated sales of cannabis for adults 21 years of age and older.
- Likelihood of passing: It’s a great first step, but super unlikely to make it very far. The resolution is barebones, with almost no detail. It will likely take a back burner and die before reaching the House floor.

It is a unhappy reality of life that eventually, you are going to get a toothache. It might be the results of a cavity, or a chip, or a crack, and even an abscess, however one factor is for sure, the outcome is similar. Actual dangerous ache. And what does PAIN spell? Distress.
Naturally when catastrophe strikes your smile, you are going to make an appointment together with your dentist to deal with the issue or issues, ASAP. However within the meantime, you’ll be able to pop a complete lot of Advil, which may probably lead to bleeding of the abdomen lining, or you’ll be able to hunt down a a lot safer, way more pure and gentler ache killer in hashish.
How does hashish have an effect on the physique?
Says Sacramento California Space, hashish dispensary professionals, www.Kolas.com, the endocannabinoid system or ECS, is a sophisticated and complicated signaling community that impacts an enormous vary of “high-level physique features,” together with however not restricted to motor management, sleep, urge for food, temper, reminiscence, sleep and naturally, ache receptors.
Alterations within the system will happen on the receptors CB1 that are discovered primarily within the mind and CB2 that are positioned in physique tissues and the immune system’s cells. Whereas it’s mentioned to be energetic in all people whether or not or not you employ hashish, it can reply to “self-produced endocannabinoids” and exocannabinoids, that are usually present in ache relieving hashish merchandise.
However the apparent query looms massive. Must you take up pot smoking simply since you’ve acquired a toothache? Based on a brand new report, hashish or marijuana incorporates lots of therapeutic qualities. Amongst these are analgesic qualities. In actual fact, hashish is often used to deal with the ache that comes with migraines, joint ache, muscle ache, and extra not too long ago, tooth ache. Should you can obtain aid from dangerous tooth ache, you’ll be able to return to your regular day by day features.
Why Is Hashish Efficient in Relieving Tooth Ache?
Say the consultants, the key to marijuana’s general effectiveness for combating tooth ache are its “outstanding cannabinoids.” Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, and cannabidiol or CBD, each come from the hashish plant, however they keep differing features.
THC is the psychedelic that makes you “stoned” or “excessive.” Hashish varietals with excessive THC ranges possess therapeutic qualities that may make it extremely efficient for a lot of sorts of ache, and even one thing as complicated as persistent ache. However do not plan on working heavy equipment for those who ingest an excessive amount of of this.
Research are mentioned to show that the therapeutic hashish compound, CBD, can help vastly in treating toothaches, periodontitis, abscesses, plus different “post-surgery considerations” and circumstances.
Why Toothaches Occur
A toothache will normally happen on account of “bacterial motion” that inevitably results in an infection contained in the tooth. The blood vessels and nerves positioned there really feel chilly, warmth, contact, and in flip expertise ache. Dentine is positioned alongside the inside gums, and it will trigger ache when each gums and enamel turn into contaminated.
After you eat and drink, meals will go away a form of sticky movie on the enamel consisting primarily of starches and sugar. Should you do not take away the movie, micro organism will develop that can result in an infection and ultimately trigger a cavity and/or abscess, each of which might be very painful and lead to strain on the oral nerves.
How Pure Hashish CBD Helps Enamel
Specialists are conversant in how dentists usually prescribe analgesics and antibacterials for toothaches together with an anti-inflammatory like Advil to assist in diminishing any swelling. For a single toothache, you may end up swallowing 4 or extra drugs day by day.
Nevertheless, for those who would moderately have interaction in a much more pure strategy to coping with oral irritation and toothaches, hashish merchandise may be the right resolution. Terpenes and cannabinoids inherent in hashish crops possess pure antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.
Additionally, the human physique is engineered with pure responses for combating oral micro organism and irritation. On high of this, the physique possesses numerous cannabinoid receptors which may cut back the immune system response when mixed with the powers of CBD. In the long run, the physique experiences an irritation discount.
Submandibular glands home many little endocannabinoid receptors that are exactly the place the applying of CBD therapy happens. Some consultants declare that CBD is not simply an analgesic but in addition an antibacterial and antiseptic. This implies hashish can truly “hold micro organism at bay” inside your mouth.
Within the closing evaluation, nobody ought to need to undergo from delicate to extreme toothache for very lengthy. In case your dentist is open to CBD therapy to help you with coping with the ache, ask them to prescribe some medicinal marijuana for you. Or you’ll be able to go to a hashish dispensary by yourself and communicate with knowledgeable who can steer you in the direction of the fitting CBD product.

M26C Cycling Issues
Posted 22 March 2012 - 11:18 AM
I recently acquired an m26c used off of craigslist. Full auto cycling was a known issue when I bought it, but I assumed it was because of a lack of lubrication (it looked a bit dry). The problem with the full auto was that when the slide blew back, the air nozzle would get stuck forward, and the slide would get stuck on the nozzle, jamming the gun. This could be fixed by pulling the slide back, and then pushing the air nozzle back into the slide. I bought the gun before I really had access to any green gas/propane, so I've had the gun for about a month now without the ability to test it. Now that I have a propane adapter, and have been testing it I've been having further issues. The gun has been oiled, and cleaned. But now that I've had the chance to shoot it the same issue happens in semi with every shot. I've taken the entire slide apart twice now, and put it back together. The first time, I reset the nozzle springs (last owner had gotten the ends a bit mangled) and that seemed to help, but I still had to reset the nozzle every 7 or 8 shots. I decided to take it apart once more as I wanted to paint the slide and see if I could do anything to fix the problem. Putting the airnozzle assembly back was a big problem this time as the mangled ends of the springs made it impossible to seat both the airnozzle and the springs at the same time. I cut the ends off the springs hoping to at least get the nozzle assembly back in place, and I was able to. So now I'm stuck with a gun that jams on every shot. I've looked over it a couple times, and it also appears that the hammer isn't staying down like it should, and so it is pressing up on the airnozzle, causing a lot of extra friction. (unfortunately I can't take pics right now, but should be able to later if necessary). Any ideas on what could be the issue? I'm going to be getting replacement springs, but I don't think that is going to fix the problem. Hopefully that all made sense and someone's able to help me. TIA!

This WILL in fact fix your problem... had the same thing occur to my M9... after replacing the springs, it isn't an issue anymore!
Posted 22 March 2012 - 07:02 PM
THE HAMMER: is a totally different issue... you might want to buy the pieces Mikester619 suggested to fix that problem.

Ants in Vehicles
Kiwicare is receiving increasing reports of ants and other pests in vehicles and requests for how to control them.
Ants and other pests will infest cars and other vehicles. Some species of ant seem particularly inclined to set up home in vehicles. Perhaps most common of these ant species is the Argentine ant . This may be one of the reasons this invasive species has spread across New Zealand so quickly. It does not spread quickly by natural expansion but a few ants including a queen can be transported hundreds of kilometres by vehicle and set up a new home.
Argentines and other species also commonly infest electrical equipment of which much is found in vehicles. Ants will cause shorting and failure of electrics and electronics. In vehicles there is also the risk that ants in the pants during driving could be very distracting.
Spiders too are commonly found in and on vehicles. In this case the hazard may be lower, unless the vehicle occupant is arachnophobic. However, unsightly spider webbing is a nuisance especially when one tries to keep the shiny new car clean.
Here are our recommendations for getting rid of ants, spiders and other such pests in vehicles and protecting your vehicle from infestation:
Get Rid of Infestation and Protect Your Vehicle
- Ants – For 1 week place many small amounts of NO Ants Nest Killer Gel Bait in NO Ants Bait Stations, clean, well rinsed jam jar lids or on masking tape in the vehicle where the bait will not spill of be stood on. Also place bait in secure places outside the vehicle where it is kept parked (e.g. in a garage on the drive).
- After using bait for a week, or when no more ants are seen, spray the underside of the vehicle, wheels, wheel arches, engine bay, door jams, etc. with NO Ants Barrier Spray or NO Bugs Super. We do not recommend spraying exterior paint work as the products may leave a haze.
- The vehicle can also be fumigated. Put the vehicle with windows rolled down in a garage and use NO Bugs Bug Bombs or NO Bugs Borafume Fumigators set off outside the vehicle but in the garage. Calculate the number of fumigators required based on the volume of the garage.
- Sprinkle NO Ants Ant Sand under and around where the vehicle is parked.
- Spiders - Spray the underside of the vehicle, wheels, wheel arches, engine bay, door jams, wing mirrors, etc. with NO Spiders or NO Bugs Super. We do not recommend spraying exterior paint work as the products may leave a haze.
- Also spray the ground in the area where the vehicle is parked.
For year long protection you may need to carry out this treatment 2-3 times per year.

Nov 23, 2017, 06:10 ET

- Tiny backyard offices have become more popular as more people in the US continue to work from home during COVID-19 times.
- As a result, several companies have pivoted to making tiny offices in order to cash in on this rising demand.
- Fidelity National Financial subsidiary IPX1031 surveyed 2,006 Americans to gauge the public interest in backyard offices, and over half of the survey respondents reported that they would buy one.
- In terms of cost, 26% of those surveyed said they would spend under $8,000 on a backyard office unit, while 23% said they would spend between $10,000 to $19,999.
- Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.
Tiny backyard "offices in a box" are becoming increasingly popular as more people in the US continue to work from home during the coronavirus pandemic.
According to a survey by Fidelity National Financial subsidiary IPX1031, 54% of 2,006 Americans respondents said they would buy a tiny office.
More specifically, 62% of the remote workers surveyed said they would consider purchasing a backyard office unit. And similar to the tiny home rental market boom during COVID-19 times, 68% of people reported they would consider renting out their tiny office.
As a result, it's no surprise several companies have pivoted to cash in on the backyard office trend. For example, Ööd, a tiny home and living space maker, recently unveiled a $19,900 backyard office that will soon be available for purchase on Amazon.
The company says it's been seeing a high amount of interest in its products from US-based customers since its backyard office unveil this month. To address this "big potential" of American buyers, the Estonian company will be launching a US branch next spring, Ööd's sales director Kristi Kivilaid told Business Insider in an email interview.
Ööd isn't the only company creating remote offices for cooped up workers. Recently, backyard shed maker Modern Shed deviated from its traditional product line to unveil a $129,000 tiny home on wheels with an optional office layout that includes seating areas, work stations, and a bathroom.
The majority of those surveyed by IPX1031, 30%, reported that the ideal tiny office would fall between 200 to 299 square feet. In terms of pricing, 26% said they would spend under $8,000 on a backyard office unit, while 23% said they would spend between $10,000 to $19,999.
Only 4% of people surveyed said they would spend over $30,000 on their backyard workspace.
IPX1031's survey was made up of 55% female and 45% male respondents. The median age of the survey participants was 38-years-old, and the majority of those surveyed had an income under $80,000, with 37% making under $40,000, and 46% making between $40,000 to 80,000.

Alleged iPhone 6 Logic Board Leaks, Looking Fully-Assembled [PIC]
Another day, and yet another alleged iPhone 6 ‘leak’, this time again coming from Apple.club.tw (as posted by Weibo user GeekBar), which has posted an image of what appears to be the logic board for the next iPhone, appearing assembled with various parts, covered by the EMI shields.
The left part appears to be the front of the logic board, while the right part appears to be the back side of the piece.
Based on a previous iPhone 5s logic board teardowns, the back side piece showing the square-ish metal EMI shield should be housing what many suspect would be the A8 processor, while the bottom half again could house cellular modem chips from Qualcomm.
To date, we’ve seen various alleged iPhone 6 parts leak, including images of an external camera ring, rear metal Apple logo, the circular True Tone flash and front display assembly units to name a few.
Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 6 on September 9. The countdown is on, folks!


The new law comes at a time when support for the death penalty is on a downward trend.
Governor Jared Polis has made Colorado the 22nd U.S. state to do away with the death penalty when he signed bill SB 20-100, on Monday. In the same action, Polis went on to commute the sentences of three death-row inmates to life without the possibility of parole, which has become the state’s most severe punishment.
The move has Catholic leaders applauding the action. Colorado is the third state to abolish the death penalty since Pope Francis revised the Catholic Catechism in August 2018. The revisions state in no uncertain terms that the practice of the death penalty is “inadmissible” in all cases. The Catholic Church is opposed to the death penalty on the grounds that it disregards the human dignity that all people should be afforded, no matter their transgression, and because it prevents the condemned from making penance for their crimes.
Crux reports that Krisanne Vaillancourt Murphy, executive director of Catholic Mobilizing Network, hailed the action as, “a critical step toward respecting the dignity of human life.” Vaillancourt went on to state:
“Catholic Mobilizing Network believes that no matter the harm one has caused or suffered, each person ought to be treated with dignity and have the opportunity for redemption and healing,” she continued. “Today, Colorado makes that possible.”
Similarly, the Colorado Catholic Conference released a statement commending the state’s lawmakers:
“We thank Gov. Jared Polis for signing this historic piece of legislation, and we commend the many state senators and representatives who worked hard to make this important change to our state law.”
Ignatian Solidarity Network reports that during the debate, Auxiliary Bishop Jorge Rodriguez of Denver testified before both the State House and Senate, where he commented on behalf of The Catholic Bishops of Colorado:
“The Catholic Church has long taught that every person, whether they are unborn, sick, or sinful, has a God-given dignity that cannot be erased or taken away. Yes, it can be marred, but it cannot be blotted out in the eyes of God.”
The new law comes at a time when support for the death penalty is on a downward trend. Although there are still technically 28 states that can deliver a death sentence, 10 of these states have not delivered such a sentence in over a decade. Pew Research Center notes:
California’s last execution took place in 2006. The other states that have capital punishment but haven’t used it more than a decade are New Hampshire (last execution in 1939); Kansas (1965); Wyoming (1992); Colorado and Oregon (both 1997); Pennsylvania (1999); Montana, Nevada and North Carolina (all 2006); and Kentucky (2008).

CONGRESSWOMAN ELISE STEFANIK
On Monday, September 15, 2014, the House will consider H.R. 83, a bill to require the Secretary of the Interior to assemble a team of technical, policy, and financial experts to address the energy needs of the insular areas of the United States and the Freely Associated States through the development of action plans aimed at reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels and increasing use of indigenous clean-energy resources, and for other purposes, as amended, under a suspension of the rules. H.R. 83 was introduced on January 3, 2013 by Del. Donna Christensen (D-VI) and referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, which ordered the bill reported, as amended, by unanimous consent.
H.R. 83 requires the Secretary of the Interior to establish a team of technical, policy, and financial experts to: 1) develop energy action plans addressing the immediate, near-term, and long-term energy and environmental needs of each of the insular areas and Freely Associated States; and 2) to assist each of these areas in implementing an energy action plan. The energy action plan will include: 1) recommendations to promote access to affordable energy, develop indigenous non-fossil fuel resources, and improve energy infrastructure and efficiency; 2) a schedule for the implementation of such recommendations; 3) a financial and engineering plan for implementing and sustaining projects; and 4) benchmarks for measuring progress toward implementation. Within one year of enactment, the Secretary’s team is required to submit a report detailing its progress (which is to be updated annually).
The Insular Areas and Freely Associated States include American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau. These areas generally have few conventional energy resources (and no indigenous fossil fuels). Additionally, the price of energy is significantly higher in these countries due to their relative isolation. For example, energy costs are four times higher in the Virgin Islands than in the U.S. While Congress has taken action in the past to provide assistance to the Insular Areas, they continue to face energy challenges. This legislation directs the Secretary to develop a team that will be responsible for exploring ways to provide affordable and reliable sources of energy to Insular Areas.
 See Committee Report 113-483
 See Id.
 See Id.
CBO estimates that implementing this legislation would cost about $10 million over the 2014-2018 period, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts.
No additional funds are authorized to be appropriated for the purpose of carrying out this Act, and it shall be carried out using amounts otherwise available.
For questions or further information contact the GOP Conference at 5-5107.

Plea change set in Hurricane Katrina fraud case
GULFPORT, Miss. - Federal court records say a man plans to plead guilty in a Hurricane Katrina fraud case.
A change of plea hearing is scheduled for trial Feb. 4 for Anthony L. Bryan. He is charged with fraudulently obtaining more than $97,000 for a house he claimed was his primary residence when Katrina hit in 2005.
He had pleaded not guilty in U.S. District Court in Gulfport on Oct. 25.
The Oct. 16 indictment says Bryan created a bill of sale to make it appear he owned and lived in the Bay St. Louis house.
Prosecutors allege that the house was not his primary residence.

By Cicily Maton, Retired Sr. Financial Planner & Marty Martin
One of our partners in The Planning Center Chicago office Cicily Maton and our psychologist and financial coach Marty Martin were recently quoted in the Chicago Tribune article on The Messy Emotions Behind Money. Cicily talks about the importance of emotions in the process of making financial decisions. While much of our work is technical planning and analysis, it is the personal side of planning that drives change. Cicily explains that it is important to first talk about what is going on in life before plotting out a course of action.
Marty Martin who has authored The Inner World of Money: Taking Control of Your Financial Decisions and Behaviors and Taming Disruptive Behavior shares his insights on how he has seen emotions portrayed in spending decisions. He talks about creating a safe space to be vulnerable and talk about the issues that need addressing.

One Day in Hohhot 呼和浩特
Arriving From from Ulan Bator
Our train from Ulan Bator arrived at midnight, much later than expected due to problems changing the bogeys at the Mongolian / Chinese border. We stumbled onto the concourse of Hohhot station and made our way into the city, only to find that none of our preferred hotels had any rooms. Our two Singaporean fellow travellers from the train (an IT specialist and an engineer) who had tagged along with us found to their dismay that there was nowhere to change money, nobody accepted dollars, and their credit cards didn’t work in the ATM’s. In other words, China is not quite on a par with Singapore (or even Mongolia) yet.
Eventually, some friendly locals pointed us towards a rather seedy street near the train station where we managed to find a cheap room in an equally seedy hotel. Our room came with a fag- stained carpet, an electric poker table and various phone calls from ladies offering their massage services (anmo xiaojie). We had to lend our Singaporean friends the money for their room and went almost straight to bed, feeling quite despondent. Fortunately, at least the breakfast the next morning was decent.
