Currently, there are 56 dispensaries operating in Illinois, and cultivation centers operating in 17 districts of the state. Legislation for the state’s cannabis program is far from finalized. The state law includes a sunset clause stating that Illinois will either have to extend it the current program or pass a new version by the end of 2018. However, the state’s current program is worth 225 million dollars annually, so the state’s program is attractive to big time investors. Here is everything you will need to know to start a dispensary in Maine.
Legalization in Illinois
The Illinois’ medical cannabis law, the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act (HB 1), was enacted in 2013. Its purpose was to create a temporary cannabis distribution program for qualifying patients within the state of Illinois.
HB 1 specifies 35 qualifying conditions medical conditions. Unfortunately the list of conditions does not include chronic pain, often cited as the main reason to use medical cannabis for treatment around the world.
The program allows patients to obtain up to 5 ounces of cannabis every month from one of the 60 licensed dispensaries. Cannabis products will be supplied by 22 different cultivation centers (one per district).
Caregivers and patients cannot operate cultivation centers. Public safety officials, minors, police and correctional officers, school bus and commercial drivers, firefighters, and anyone convicted of a drug-related felony are not eligible for the state’s program.
How Many Dispensaries Operate in Illinois?
Illinois state law has provisions for up to 60 dispensary licenses on the condition that they are awarded to qualified and applicants, and dispersed evenly throughout the state.
The state has so far reviewed 214 applicants. So far, 56 applicants have been issued a license, and have advanced to the registration stage. As of November 9th, 2015, eight dispensaries are currently in operation.
The Illinois Department of Agriculture has authorized cultivation centers to operate in 17 of the 22 districts.
What is Illinois’ Cannabis Market Worth?
Potential profits in cannabis sales in Illinois are expected to reach upwards of 225 million per year. The price of cannabis per ounce is 325 dollars.
The patient base in Illinois will reach 30 thousand and each patient is expected to consume 23 pounds per year. During the first year of operation, the cannabis industry is estimated to create more than 1,500 jobs statewide.
Owners & Licensing Requirements
Requirements for acquiring a license are quite stringent. Applicants must first undergo fingerprint background check, disclose any past bankruptcies, defaults on items such as student loans, child support or alimony. Finally, they must release full tax returns for previous years.
No medical cannabis licensing dates have been announced, although petitions to add debilitating medical conditions or diseases to the Illinois medical cannabis program are being accepted from Through the month of January and then through the month of July. That’s January and July, not January through July.
Prospective owners should be aware that there is a sunset clause (Section 220) in the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act, which will end the cannabis program by December 2018, that is unless Illinois chooses to extend it.
Illinois is one of the most costly states to start a cannabis business. Most people end up giving up on the idea once they figure out how much it costs.
You can expect the following expenses:
- Non-refundable dispensary permit application fee: $5,000
- 30k permit fee for the first year
- 100k annual permit renewal
- Applicants are also required to demonstrate 400 thousand in liquid assets as well as 50 thousand in escrow
Fees associated with operation of the dispensary:
- Dispensary Registration Renewal Fee: 25k
- Dispensing Agent Renewal Fee: 50k
- Dispensing Agent Identification card replacement Fee: 50 dollars
- Dispensary Registration Replacement Fee: 50 dollars
The licensing process in Illinois has many steps, so you can expect the entire process to take a year or more.
The following firms provide a variety of different services, including helping with state licensing requirements, as well as applications.
- Canna Advisors
- Medicine Man Technologies
- Green Rush Consulting
- Quantum 9 Inc.
- Comprehensive Cannabis Consulting

In recent weeks, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) has kicked off the process to finalize details of the state’s cap-and-trade program with public workshops held around the state. The usual suspects, from environmental advocates to industry representatives have packed hearing rooms waiting for their chance to chime in on proposed regulations.
While some details remain to be seen, two things are abundantly clear; California’s new cap-and-trade program will help facilitate the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (a good thing), and the program will have far-reaching impacts for every sector of the state’s economy (not so good).
According the CARB’s own estimates, by 2030, the net effect of these new standards will result in thousands of fewer jobs, a lower GDP and less personal income for Californians.
In July, Governor Brown signed Assembly Bill 398, which requires that California’s greenhouse gas emissions be reduced to 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. The bill also established this new cap-and-trade program as a way to reach these goals.
Inevitably, some businesses will not withstand these new onerous regulations.
It is now the CARB’s job to figure out the details of implementation. One of their recommendations is to continue to provide industry assistance for businesses as they work to comply with these stricter requirements. Not surprisingly, some extremists are taking issue with this critical part of cap-and-trade even though it has been a part pf the program since the beginning.
Businesses such as farmers, dairy producers and oil producers are urgently working to make the needed technical upgrades. Inevitably, some businesses will not withstand these new onerous regulations. The California Hispanic Chamber of Commerce believes that like many before them, they will find that California is not a sustainable place to do business.
As the vast majority of other states don’t have a carbon price associated with goods or services that businesses provide, there will be plenty of states ready to welcome these job providers with cost-saving offers and open arms. For those who stay, the only option to adapt is to increase prices on consumers.
To help these covered businesses comply, the CARB is weighing industry assistance levels for the program’s upcoming third compliance period (2018-2021). The assistance being discussed will help some, but it will amount to a fraction of overall costs for most of the businesses.
The scope and size of the greenhouse gas emission reduction requirements under the state’s climate change laws are so burdensome, that even CARB’s proposed industry assistance will barely put a dent in the overall costs businesses will incur while working to reach compliance.
The bottom line is that California lawmakers have decided that we will lead the way on the issue of greenhouse gas emission reduction. And the industry is by and large on board, doing its best to comply while still keeping jobs in the state and limiting negative impacts on consumers.
Providing industry assistance in the third compliance period is reasonable and necessary. It is, of course, getting push back from the usual crowd of extremists who are either lacking a firm understanding of the scope of this policy change or how businesses function. Unfortunately, some critics seem less interested in meeting the new environmental standards than punishing job providers and businesses.
Third compliance period assistance was not only (reportedly) part of AB 398 negotiations, it’s still a drop in the bucket in relation to how much this will cost businesses of every size in California.
This assistance for the third compliance period is a modest step to help businesses as they work to meet these new regulations, the toughest standards in the nation while protecting consumers and the economy.

This next go round with shadows was no accidental find as in my previous post. I had a wonderful studio in an old building with exposures facing east, north and west. It also had old wooden double hung windows with some panes of wavy glass. I staged a photograph one sunny afternoon using large sheets of foam core on my easel. Again, the color is added. This painting is the first one where I began using mostly colors straight from the tube. There is also lots of glazing and wiping out (and even a few token drips!).
Here is a more detailed view of the central panel.
At 32″ x 87″ this is by far the largest painting I have ever done. It is painted on three wood panels of equal size. More work to be seen at amrfineart.com.

Disclosure Shares New Music Video for “My High” featuring Aminé & slowthai
- British DJ duo Disclosure teamed up with American rapper Aminé and British rapper slowthai to release a new song “My High” on June 30th.
The accompanying music video was shot pre-quarantine and directed by Simon Cahn.
“We always wanted to work with rappers, we just didn’t know any and we had no means of contacting them… there aren’t a lot of rappers in Reigate,” Disclosure said of the song. “Writing ‘My High’ with Aminé was a lot a fun, he’s hilarious and may as well be a comedian. He writes so quickly and it’s amazing to watch. He brought so much energy to this already very energetic tune that when we got home to London in January, there was only one guy capable of matching it… Slowthai.”
The track is the second single off of their upcoming third studio album “Energy”, which is set to be released on August 28, 2020. The album is their first LP in five years.

Abu Dhabi climbs to sixth place in global oil & gas reserves ranking
Abu Dhabi has become the world’s sixth-largest nation by oil and gas reserves, Abu Dhabi’s Supreme Petroleum Council announced at a meeting earlier this week.
The SPC announced increases in the country’s hydrocarbon reserves of 7 billion STB of oil and 58 TSCF of conventional gas, moving the UAE from seventh to the sixth position in both global oil and gas reserves ranking with a total of 105 billion STB of recoverable oil and 273 trillion SCF of conventional gas.
“These significant additions to the UAE’s hydrocarbon reserves mark a historic milestone for the country since the last major update of its reserves base three decades ago and underpin its position as a stable and long-term energy provider to the world,” Abu Dhabi’s national oil company ADNOC said in a statement.
In addition, the Supreme Petroleum Council announced the discovery of unconventional recoverable gas resources totaling 160 TSCF. According to the SPC, this is a first for the region, “ushering in a new era of large scale unconventional hydrocarbon resources development.”
“The increase in reserves and new discoveries follows ADNOC’s extensive drilling of dozens of new exploration and appraisal wells across Abu Dhabi’s conventional and unconventional oil and gas fields over the past few years. In addition, the start of production in new fields, for example, SARB, Umm Lulu, Haliba, and Bu Haseer, has enabled ADNOC to verify and further upgrade the originally expected reserves’ volumes,” SPC said.
SPC also added that the ongoing maturation of ADNOC’s field development plans towards its 5 million barrels per day (mmbpd) oil production capacity target by 2030, and expanded oil recovery schemes, as well as ongoing in-fill drilling, have provided the base for an increase in ADNOC’s reserves.

This is the album artwork for the 2017 Coming Down Happy EP, Let's Just Be Friends.
I created this piece using Photoshop.
This is my solo musical project.
Unfortunately, while I consider this to be some of my strongest album artwork, the music itself didn't quite live up to the visual aspect and this is arguably my worst collection of songs. I guess that's what happens when you compose tracks using a piano even though you don't know how to play piano? Whatever. It's still better than most things you hear on the radio.

RENO — Books, pencils, papers and computers are all necessary tools for the classroom used by students every day. But how do they get to the classroom? The process starts with the purchasing staff at the Washoe County School District. The purchasing department is responsible for buying all goods and services for the district and for the 13th year it has been recognized by the National Purchasing Institute (NPI) with top honors.
The NPI presented the annual Achievement of Excellence in Procurement (AEP) award for 2010 to the district this month for the outstanding efforts of the purchasing staff. The award is given to organizations that demonstrate excellence in procurement by getting a high score on a rating of standardized criteria. The program measures innovation, professionalism, e-purchasing and leadership qualities of an organization.
“Applying for the AEP award gives the district an opportunity to compete against other organizations on a national level,” district CFO Gary Kraemer said.
He added that being on the receiving end of the award again this year is something of which he’s extremely proud.
“Our district is one of only six government agencies in Nevada to win the AEP award this year and one of only 16 school districts in the United States to receive this award,” Kraemer said.
The district’s purchasing supervisor, Andrea Sullivan, said she is proud of winning the AEP award again this year because it demonstrates how her team continues to implement best practices in government procurement.
“In our department, everything that a student needs to achieve comes through us: library books, desks, Smartboards, even musical instruments. It validates that we are being good stewards of the taxpayers’ money while helping students achieve at their fullest potential.”
Sullivan said this summer was a busy one for her staff with the number of revitalization projects going on throughout the district.
“The capital projects team builds the schools, or revitalizes them, and it’s our job to furnish and supply them,” she said.
UWNNS, NFL celebrate Back to Football Friday
RENO — United Way of Northern Nevada and the Sierra (UWNNS) is joining the National Football League to promote the nationwide Back to Football Friday celebration.
Events in northern Nevada and across the country are designed to celebrate the return of football season while raising awareness and support for youth health and wellness. The NFL and United Way are encouraging fans of all ages to show their NFL team pride at work and school on Friday by wearing their favorite team’s gear or colors and planning special events in support of youth health.
Participants who wear their favorite NFL team’s gear will have the opportunity to win a trip for two to Super Bowl XLV by registering at www.unitedway.org/backtofootball.
For more than 35 years, the NFL and United Way have been working together to strengthen America’s communities, most recently by raising awareness about childhood obesity and creating new opportunities for young people to lead healthier lifestyles. One of these initiatives is the NFL PLAY 60 program. NFL PLAY 60 encourages kids to play at least 60 minutes a day. Since the program launched in 2007, the NFL has committed more than $200 million to youth health and wellness through programming, grants and media time.
“This is a wonderful partnership with the NFL that emphasizes our commitment to youth health and wellness in northern Nevada,” said Karen Barsell, chief executive officer and president of UWNNS. “Being active by playing organized sports and being outside is healthy for our area’s youth and helps ensure a healthy community in the future.”

David Turner and his team were fantastic on every level; they added a large addition onto my current home. David and Charlie and all the many other quality people they employ work with the utmost care and professionalism. David made sure that the addition flows seamlessly with the current house and blends perfectly. He knows quality materials and workmanship and adheres to those high standards.
Working with clients like the Herrings, who have an artful flare for design, always makes for a wonderful exchange of ideas.
We have been so pleased with our decision to hire David to help us design, remodel & build our home. Many friends who saw the home when we first purchased it probably doubted the possibilities. David really listened to our vision for the project, looked at our many saved inspiration photos from Houzz, Pinterest & Instagram and was able to turn an early 1970’s house into the perfect home for us. We wanted our home to feel casual, warm & inviting and to have a modern farmhouse look. David helped us create a home we believe to be timeless. He pays attention to even the smallest of details as do his people working with him. Charlie is great at developing and maintaining a detailed budget and Zach is great with all the followup. It’s a trio we would definitely hire again and wholeheartedly recommend to others.

Ethanol is no go. DE81 paper chromatography, HPLC, PAGE or maybe TLC. A
good place to look on purification is Oligonucleotide synthesis - a
practical approach, (one of the IRL Press series - old (1984) but real
bench chemistry before oligo synthesis machines!). I doubt spin columns
will give adequate separation given that it is only a trimer.
This is the best place to ask so let's see if anyone else has done this.
The problem with being on the cutting edge is that you occasionally get

The birth of a new baby is supposed to inspire joy and overwhelming love in a mother. But sometimes it doesn't. Some mothers struggle with feeling let down after the birth of their baby. Others feel overwhelmed by lack of sleep. Most often, new mothers tend to feel weepy and moody during the first couple of weeks after childbirth. All of these feelings, known as the "baby blues" or postpartum blues, are normal and up to 85% of new moms experience them. The blues occur soon after a baby's birth and can last up to two weeks. In addition to feeling sad, many women experience exhaustion due to lack of sleep or insomnia. You may also feel irritable, nervous, and/or worried about the awesome responsibility you bear for this new life. Your body changes rapidly after birth due to a sudden drop in hormone levels after the delivery. Physical and emotional changes can also contribute to the blues. Your body is healing from the delivery and as milk comes in, your breasts may become painfully swollen. Added to this is the emotional transition to motherhood as one adjusts to her new routine. The good news is that the baby blues should soon go away on their own. No medical treatment is necessary other than reassurance and support from family and friends, rest, and avoiding isolation.

Marvel Studios Looking For Young Lead For ‘Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania’
According to our friends over at Murphy’s Multiverse, they’re reporting that Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is looking to cast a young actress for a lead role. The studio is reportedly looking for an actress between the ages of 9-12.
The character is described as a 10-year old young actress with singing, dancing and comedic chops. No word on if they’re recasting young Cassie Lang; however, the current actress is still in the same age range.
The film is gearing up to start filming in the UK this July.
Ant-Man and Ant-Man and the Wasp director Peyton Reed is returning to helm the film, with no current production start date set. Marvel Studios has yet to officially announce the project and likely won’t until Loveness completes the script.
Details on the project are being kept under wraps, but franchise stars Paul Rudd (Scott Lang aka Ant-Man), Evangeline Lilly (Hope Van Dyne aka Wasp), Michael Dough (Dr. Hank Pym), and Michelle Pfeiffer (Janet Van Dyne) are all expected to return to the heist-adventure film series. There have been previous rumors that the film could set up a Young Avenger film or series.
Details on the project are being kept under wraps, Jeff Loveness (Rick and Morty) wrote the script.

Ebunjan Performing Arts Association Theatre and Troupe have decided to use arts to bring positive change with the issues of human rights especially among children. This project came into existence following an in-depth study on the human rights situation, particularly of children.
Some selected teachers who are graduates from the department of English in the school of arts and sciences in the university of Gambia currently teaching at the upper and lower basic schools in the Greater Banjul Area underwent rigorous training for 12 months for this project.
The project is called “Theater arts- an effective tool for human rights education.” They are set to present “one act play” written by the students of the University of The Gambia.
Among the plays selected for the presentation are “A bright light turned off” by Raki Jallow and “Deception” by Mariam Sarr. They shone light on the problem of early marriage and female genital mutilation respectively.
Both authors are students of University of The Gambia while the actors in these performances are students from Zenith International West African International Interior Academy and Banjuliding Upper Secondary Schools respectively. The actors are selected by Ms. Grace Chapman, lecturer and director of University of the Gambia’s theater in education programme
The performance is slated to hold on the 20th of November by 5:00pm at Ebunjan Theater opposite American International University West Africa, Kanifing and entry is totally free of charge.
The main aim is to use theater, plays, music, dance and poetry; a combination of the arts to educate the public. It is used to examine human rights issues with the focus on children.
Several plays were read and analyzed for this project and one of the plays is “hand of fate” based on a true Gambian story about early marriage. Some of the plays written by the University of The Gambia students are still in progress.
Madam Janet Badjan-Young, the artistic director and chairperson of Ebunjan Performing Arts Association said the project is funded by the Netherlands Embassy in Senegal.
The artistic director commended Dr. Cherno Barry, former executive secretary at the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), who had provided them with in-depth information on the human rights situation, particularly of children in The Gambia.

As we hunker down for a cold, cold winter this Tulsa home and its enviable entertaining space is giving me major warm weather nostalgia. I mean, holy pool! The design brain child of Austin Bean Design Studio, it's a light, bright space that checks the modern, classic and comfy boxes and is all wrapped around crazy good pool situation. See the full tour captured by Alyssa Rosenheck in the VAULT.
Austin Bean Design Studio utilized their integrated architectural and interior design approach with this Tulsa Charmer. The family had two priorities when building this house with Austin Bean Design Studio: A. Making it comfortable and livable for their family and B. Utilizing the house as a great entertainment space.
When entering the house, the main focus becomes the pool as the house wraps around this feature. The hallways were expanded for larger groups and each room is intentionally layered with sophisticated yet livable features to accommodate their family lifestyle.
Bailey Austin and Mel Bean are the women behind Austin Bean. What I love most about their design firm is their attention to detail along with their collaborative nature. They operate in a synergistic way that empowers and supports the women in their organization and ultimately benefiting their clients by providing superior service.

They are also unable to afford legal fees and so are not able to bring their cases to be heard in a fair court.

A dying teenager, who was a boarder at a Warwickshire school, was "lost" for an hour in an NHS hospital after a bed manager asked nursing staff to move her to an inappropriate ward, an inquest has heard.
Doctors caring for 17-year-old Clementine Nicholson were "astonished" that she had been taken from a resuscitation unit without their consent, Coventry Coroner's Court heard.
Clementine, who was a boarder at Rugby School, died of meningococcal septicaemia at Coventry's University Hospital in May last year.
The inquest into the schoolgirl's death has heard that she was initially diagnosed with meningitis and was given antibiotics and fluids while being treated in a resuscitation unit.
But she was later transferred to a clinical decisions unit and another ward and was only admitted to an intensive care ward after a junior doctor noticed that she was desperately ill and "effectively moribund".
Giving evidence on the final day of the hearing, Dr Nishant Patodi said doctors at the University Hospital had administered treatment promptly despite initially misdiagnosing Clementine's condition.
Dr Patodi, who had been working at the hospital for around nine months, said he could not explain why Clementine had been moved to two other wards before finally being admitted to intensive care.
Asked by counsel for Clementine's family, Andrew Axon, to explain how a dying girl could "get lost" at the hospital, Dr Patodi replied: "I have not got any explanation - it's certainly not what the doctors had asked for.
"I came back to (the resuscitation unit) and I was astonished. Our expectation was that Clementine was going to be seen by the critical care team - and after that be moved to the intensive care ward."
Dr Mair Edmunds, associate director for clinical performance at the hospital, expressed her regret that Clementine had been moved by an electronic bed management system.
Dr Edmunds said the hospital now had a nurse controller to oversee such moves and that more robust procedures were now in place to ensure patients were well enough to be transferred.
"Clearly, on this occasion there was a break-down in communication between the nursing team and the medical team," Dr Edmunds told the inquest. The person who gave authorisation to move the patient clearly hadn't been aware of the wishes of the clinicians in that department.
"The movement of the patient is clearly something that is regrettable and should not have happened."

Six Nations victory
I confess I was barracking for New Zealand in the recent America’s Cup challenge, although two key members of the victorious US crew were Aussies. Why back the Kiwis? Well, they’re our neighbours, and more importantly, anyone who takes on the Yanks is the underdog.
So it was with some trepidation that the United States of America were invited to join the Five Nations Wine Challenge this year, making it a Six Nations Wine Challenge. The organisers and the wine writers who represent each of the five other nations were just a little concerned that the US would blitz the competition and dominate the awards – so large is its wine industry compared to the other nations. And I was worried that the little guys, Chile and Argentina, could be marginalised.
Well, the results are in, and Australia somehow managed to be the top-scoring nation, on aggregate points. But the US dominated the trophies – awarded to the highest scoring wine of each of the 17 classes – slamming home five trophies to Australia’s four, with New Zealand and Argentina three each, South Africa two and Chile with none. Australia won the trophies for best chardonnay (Lakes Folly 2011 – tasting), best sweet white (De Bortoli Noble One 2008 – tasting), best other white varietal (Gartelmann Benjamin Semillon 2009 – tasting) and best riesling (Pressing Matters R9, 2012 – tasting). An especially strong result for the Hunter Valley, and great to see Lakes Folly (tastings), which virtually never enters wine competitions, proving its mettle.
But sadly Chile, which has won a trophy each previous year it’s been included, failed to score a trophy. This is partly because it enters fewer wines than it’s entitled to, as it lacks the depth to its wine industry that other countries have. Argentina, too, is shy on entries: both it and Chile produce a relatively narrow spread of grape varieties.
Each nation is represented by a leading wine scribe, whose task it is to select and invite the entrants (about 100 wines from each nation), and then to participate in the blind judging, which was held in Sydney in August.
The US, represented by veteran Californian wine writer Dan Berger, won the trophies for best sparkling wine, pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon, other red varieties (with a zinfandel) and other red blends (with a cabernet merlot shiraz).
Argentina won best malbec, best red Bordeaux blend and best aromatic white other than riesling (with a torrontes).
It was interesting that while the US won the most trophies, it only placed fourth in aggregate points – after Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, in that order. In sparkling wine, for example, US won the trophy with Gloria Ferrer 2007 Blanc de Blancs (tastings), but Australia topped the class with ease. We also topped riesling (easily), and other white varieties, and positively annihilated the opposition in chardonnay (scoring 244 points compared to 71 for South Africa, 42 for New Zealand, 33 for Chile and only 24 for the US). This is a surprise even for those who’ve been saying for years that Australia is second only to Burgundy in the world with chardonnay. In the US’s defence, it had only four wines in the class: I’d like to see what might happen if it fielded a full team. The class was dominated by Australia, with five of the top six wines. Leeuwin Estate Art Series 2010 (tasting) was runner-up; double-golds went to Dexter (tastings) and Coldstream Hills Reserve 2011s (tasting), and gold to Cape Mentelle 2012 (tasting).
However, we were humiliated in reds. New Zealand handed out a thrashing in shiraz almost as convincing as Australia’s dominance of chardonnay. It’s been several years since Australia topped the shiraz class, and in aggregate points we lagged behind New Zealand (200 points), South Africa (68) and Chile (57), scoring only 54 points. This may say something about the style preference of the judges, and possibly the scoring system, which gives a heavy weighting to each judge’s top three wines in each class. The trophy-winner, Kusuda 2010 Syrah (tasting) from Martinborough, was a spicy, perfumed, elegant and soft-tannined marvel. It was a thoroughly deserving winner. It’s made by Japanese Hiro Kusuda, whose pinot noirs and syrahs have been attracting rave reviews.
Cabernet sauvignon, which has been a great strength of Australia’s in previous competitions, turned into one of our biggest weaknesses this year, and for no good reason that I can see. We came third behind the US and Argentina. The trophy cabernet was a ripper: Kendall Jackson 2009 Grand Reserve (tastings), a beautiful wine of perfect fruit ripeness and great precision, balancing full body with miraculous elegance and persistence. Argentina won second place with Dominio Del Plata Susana Balbo Signature 2011: also an outstanding cabernet. I cannot argue about the result, as I myself placed these wines first and second on my score-sheet. C’est la vie.
One red that we can skite about is Bleasdale Double Take Malbec 2012 (tastings), which won a double-gold medal and was the only non-Argentine wine to figure among the seven medal-winners in the class. The trophy winner was Trivento Golden Reserve 2011. Malbec is of course traditionally an Argentine shoo-in. The other judges were amazed at how soft and accessible the Bleasdale was, at such a tender age. Argentina blitzed the malbec class, scoring 280 points, with Australia a long way back on 56, the best of the other five nations!
My fellow judges were Michael Fridjhon of South Africa, Bob Campbell of New Zealand, Fabricio Portelli of Argentina and Eduardo Brethauer of Chile, as well as Berger.
It’s all great fun, but does it really prove anything? Yes, as much as any wine competition does. This one differs from any other annual competition I know of, because of the fact that every wine is invited to enter by an independent authority, and of course the combination of countries involved is unique.
And now I hear veteran sailor and wine-producer Robert Oatley, of Wild Oats fame, has announced he will challenge for the next America’s Cup. Bring it on Bob! We’re right behind you.

I read with interest the recent article on preoperative fasting for patients undergoing surgery with anesthesia. As a practicing anesthesiologist, this is a topic of great concern. I was surprised the author didn't explicitly mention that pulmonary aspiration can be fatal, even when the aspirated material is only a liquid of high acidity.
Accordingly, an anesthesiologist's first duty is to prevent this dreaded complication, even if the patient may be uncomfortable while fasting after midnight. Gastric emptying times may be short in normal patients, but many conditions may delay such emptying. For patients who must wait until the afternoon for their surgery, an IV infusion may be started. Patients scheduled for surgery later in the day may have a light breakfast.
The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) recommendations on the issue of fasting before surgery, which are not labeled standards, are interesting but don't necessarily represent the standard of care. Also, to my knowledge, well-conducted randomized, double-blind studies haven't been undertaken to evaluate the incidence of aspiration in patients who followed NPO-after-midnight instructions versus those who were allowed to eat and drink near the time of surgery.
Finally, I have doubts about the author's statement that it's a myth that clear liquids ingested up to two hours before surgery increase the risk of aspiration. Why bet a patient's life on it?
Author Jeannette T. Crenshaw responds: Based on expert opinion and the results of multiple studies (including randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses of these), the ASA recommended a minimum fast of two hours from clear liquids for healthy patients of all ages receiving general, regional, or monitored anesthesia care for elective procedures.1, 2 The ASA specified when the guidelines may need to be modified or may not apply. Although practice guidelines may not represent local standards of care, they are strong recommendations based on carefully evaluated evidence and expert consensus. Adhering to them may reduce clinical variation from the best available evidence, improve quality of care, and reduce malpractice liability.3
Although certain conditions may delay gastric emptying of solids (obesity, diabetes with gastroparesis, use of narcotics), there are no data suggesting that patients with these conditions are at greater risk for pulmonary aspiration when clear liquids are consumed up to two hours before surgery. In fact, patients who consume clear liquids up to two to four hours prior to surgery have been found to have lower gastric volumes and similar or higher pH values compared with healthy patients who fast more than four hours.4–9
What puzzles me is why we're still debating preoperative fasting and the consumption of clear liquids. In addition to recommending clear liquids until a few hours before surgery, international practice guidelines recommend the routine use of oral carbohydrate-rich clear beverages two to three hours before surgery in most patients.10, 11 Referred to as carbohydrate loading, this can reduce the patient's discomfort, including preoperative thirst and anxiety and postoperative nausea and vomiting. It also reduces several of the potentially dangerous results of preoperative fasting, such as postoperative insulin resistance and diminished immune response.

Review – Beccles & Bungay Journal – Jan 1983
Panto cow sets a puzzle
How does a brown cow give white milk when it only eats green grass?
That was the puzzle posed by the Loddon Pantomime Players at a special performance of “Jack and the Beanstalk.”
An extravaganza of colour dance and music, the show proved successful enough to make 50 disabled and elderly people forget their cares for one night.
The specially invited audience for this sneak preview of the Players’ latest show included local pensioners and Major Derek Allhusen, chairman of the Loddon branch of the Norfolk Association for the Care of the Disabled, with a party of disabled people.
Derek Loyd gave a hilarious performance as Jacks mother, Mrs Nagalot and soon brought the child out in every spectator with his provocative banter.
Maureen Larkin’s strong Norfolk accent only enhanced her part as Jacks sister, Jill. While Betty Best lived up to her name, thrilling the audience with her singing.
You could even be forgiven for thinking you were at Maplin’s holiday camp when Anthony Bunting took the stage as a rather unusual town crier.
Sue Alexander played with confidence and charm, the principal boy who wins the hand of the Lady Lavinia, frees the imprisoned children and tames the wicked giant.
The talented and versatile members of the Joan Gisborne School of Dancing played everything from a harp to a hen, while Keith Blackwell stormed about skilfully in two feet high boots as the Giant “Horrendus”.
The show was a tribute to the hard work of Joan Gisborne who not only produced, wrote the script and choreographed the pantomime, but also acted and helped with costumes.
Jack and the Beanstalk opened last night at the Hobart High School, Loddon, and performances will be repeated tonight and tomorrow.


President Donald Trump says he would listen if a foreign government approached him with damaging information about a political rival -- and wouldn't necessarily report the contact to the FBI.
"I think you might want to listen," Trump said in an interview with ABC News that aired on Wednesday. "There isn't anything wrong with listening."
It was a stark -- if not entirely surprising -- expression of nonchalance from the President over foreign efforts to influence US politics. Trump has consistently downplayed Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 contest, and cast doubts on US intelligence agencies' assessments of the meddling.
In the interview, though, Trump seemed to suggest rebuffing foreign governments would be unwarranted -- and unnecessary to report to federal law enforcement authorities.
That stance has put him at odds with national security professionals within his own administration. But Trump appeared unbothered by the discord in his interview, saying he would be open to any and all dirt on potential rivals.
"I think I'd want to hear it," Trump said, downplaying the idea such a move by another country would amount to election interference.
Democratic lawmakers responded incredulously to the President's remarks.
"It is shocking to hear the President say outright that he is willing to put himself indebt (sic) to a foreign power... not to mention the foreign interference in an American election part," House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler tweeted Wednesday night.
House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff found Trump's comment "stunning on the one hand and not at all surprising on the other," he told CNN's Erin Burnett.
"Donald Trump has made it clear that he will engage in any action, no matter how unethical or unpatriotic, that he will go right up to the line of what's legal and indeed it looks like he crossed that line many times," Schiff added.
Democratic Rep. Brenda Lawrence of Michigan told Burnett that Trump's meaning "is clear -- he didn't stutter, he said the FBI probably wouldn't understand it."
Accusing Trump of trying to determine "how he can violate the rules and policies of our country," Lawrence added, "It is past sad. It is past frustration. This is criminal. It is criminal, and we need to hold this President accountable."
Trump and his 2016 campaign have come under intense scrutiny -- and a special counsel investigation -- for their contacts with Russians during the last presidential election.
Special counsel Robert Mueller detailed extensive contact between Trump campaign associates and Russians, but did not conclude there was a criminal conspiracy. The contacts included a now-infamous meeting at Trump Tower between his son, Donald Trump Jr., and a lawyer with close ties to the Kremlin in which potentially damaging information about Hillary Clinton was on the table.
Only a month ago, Trump said he would "certainly agree to" a commitment not to use stolen information from foreign governments to damage a political rival.
"I don't need it," Trump said during a meeting with Hungary's prime minister. "All I need is the opponents that I'm looking at."
But asked Wednesday whether he would take opposition research being peddled by another government, Trump said he likely would.
"It's not an interference, they have information -- I think I'd take it," Trump said. "If I thought there was something wrong, I'd go maybe to the FBI -- if I thought there was something wrong."
Earlier Wednesday, Trump erroneously claimed from the Oval Office that his campaign rejected overtures from Russia when offered derogatory information about his opponent in 2016. He asserted falsely that Mueller's report "said we actually rebuffed your friends from Russia; that we actually pushed them back -- we rebuffed them."
Still, Trump said he wouldn't automatically report a foreign government's actions to US law enforcement -- something he says he's never considered doing in his lifetime.
"I'll tell you what, I've seen a lot of things over my life. I don't think in my whole life I've ever called the FBI. In my whole life. You don't call the FBI," he said. "You throw somebody out of your office, you do whatever you do."
"Life doesn't work that way," Trump said.
That's not the view taken by Trump's FBI director, who told lawmakers during his confirmation hearings it would be "wise" for political operatives -- including Trump's son after his meeting at Trump Tower -- to inform his agency about attempts by foreign governments to interfere in US elections.
Trump dismissed those concerns in his interview.
"The FBI director is wrong," he said.

Detached house that had to be demolished due to Landslip of the road just beyond its gardens. The main and side gate are chained up. Afterwards the site was completely clear - you would never had known there was a house there, the plants and trees remained.
Another view of the cliffs at Luccombe beach, there is a Chine here as well although much of it is hidden by wild plants in this unmanaged area. Notice the plateaus half way up the cliff face - which is a common sign of Landslips, trees also make their way onto the beach.
A fallen tree held firmly in the sand at Luccombe beach. Due to the distance away from the cliff base I would think this fell some considerable time ago.
Do not over worry too much about Landslips on The Island - these happen in certain areas only and after substancial rain particulary after long periods of draught. Warnings are usually evident that a slip is likely and many years can pass between Landslips.
Be careful near cliff edges and at the base of all cliffs.

Television star Kapil Sharma has opened up about his struggle with alcoholism and what helped him ditch the habit. Kapil was at the Drug Free India event in Chandigarh on February 18 where he spoke about his own experiences.
“Kapil spoke about how he was consumed by the bottle. He recalled seeing his mother break down. That’s when he decided to kick the habit,” a source told DNA. Kapil was out of work for almost a year when his show, The Kapil Sharma Show, was cancelled in September 2017 after he reportedly failed to show up for shoots.
Thank u Chandigarh for the overwhelming support for #DrugFreeIndia don’t stop until its finished @ArtofLiving @SriSri @Its_Badshah @duttsanjay @MahaveerJainMum #Nakarunganakarnedunga pic.twitter.com/NS4j6vKx86— KAPIL (@KapilSharmaK9) February 20, 2019
It was later reported that he was in rehab (an ashram) for a while, recovering from ill health. Media reports suggested that Kapil was struggling with alcoholism. Kapil was even reported to have physically assaulted his co-star from the show, Sunil Grover on a flight in a drunken state. Their clash made Sunil walk out of the show and other actors followed him too. The show’s TRPs took a nosedive in Sunil’s absence.
Also present at the event was actor Sanjay Dutt, whose ordeals with drug addiction were chronicled in his recent biopic, Sanju. “I appeal to everybody to join this important movement and save the future of our youth,” he said at the event.
Kapil also shared pictures from the event. “Thank u Chandigarh for the overwhelming support for #DrugFreeIndia don’t stop until its finished,” he captioned the pictures. Kapil is currently seen on Sony with a new season of his show The Kapil Sharma Show. It began airing late last year.

Police in Athens are trying to determine if several recent home burglaries targeting sterling silver flatware are linked to similar silver heists elsewhere in Georgia and surrounding states.
The Athens Banner-Herald reported that the burglaries appear to have been pulled off by a professional cat burglar who cut out window panes and entered occupied homes without waking residents.
“Whoever it is, they know what they’re doing,” Athens-Clarke County police Lt. David Coker said of the recent burglaries, which happened in just over a week’s time earlier this month.
On July 8, someone removed a dining room window pane at a home on Milledge Circle and stole $5,000 worth of sterling silver flatware, bowls and cups, according to the Banner-Herald.
A week later, a home on Red Oak Trail in Athens was burglarized of $20,000 in sterling silver items. Then, the following day, a set of sterling silver flatware, valued at $5,000, was swiped from a home on Tallassee Oaks Trail.
The newspaper reported that the thief only steals sterling silver, leaving behind silver-plated items.
In addition to comparing notes with Atlanta police on similar burglaries in Buckhead, investigators are checking to see if there is a connection to silver thefts in Tennessee, Alabama and the Carolinas.
Atlanta police spokeswoman Kim Jones told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Wednesday that, “we are working with other jurisdictions in the Southeast on this very issue.”

Keywords:Robotics, Robot manipulator, Torque sensor, Tendon drive system
A simple torque sensor for tendon-driven manipulators is proposed. The finger joint torque around a drive pulley is proportional to the.difference in tension between the two ends of the pulley. By using a coupling mechanism between tendons, this difference in tension can be measured directly, without sensing individual tendon tensions. The tension differential type torque (TDT) sensor is based on this idea and is useful for compensating friction existing in a transmission such as a manipulator. However, present TDT sensors require at least one tension pulley to support a driving tendon. This paper shows that it is able to design a TDT sensor without any tension pulley while its principle is maintained. A torque sensor installation on a movable link makes it possible to eliminate the tension pulley and downsize it.

Shahrukh Khan had to bear the cost of demolition of a ramp constructed outside his bungalow ‘Mannat’. The actor paid Rs 1,93,784 to the BMC as per a RTI application filed by activist Anil Galgali with the civic body. Galgali had sought information from the Municipal administration about the action taken on the illegally constructed RCC ramp outside Shahrukh Khan’s bungalow. In a reply, the BMC’s the Asst Engineer (Inspection) of Bandra H West ward informed Galgali that, after the order of the Municipal Commissioner seven days notice was issued on 6th February 2015 to Mannat.
On termination of the notice period the demolition of the RCC ramp was undertaken by the ward office on14th and 15th February 2015. It was alleged that Shahrukh Khan, whose bungalow falls on the junction of H K Bhabha road and Mount Mary road, near the Bandra Bandstand had occupied the portion of land belonging to setback, which was supposed to be handed over to Municipal corporation by illegally constructing an RCC ramp. Further the Municipal corporation had issued a demand notice of Rs 1,93,784 towards cost incurred on the demolition of the ramp, giving seven days for making the payment or face due actions under the MMC Act. Shahrukh Khan made the payment vide a cheque issued on Citibank dated 11th Marth 2015 amounting to Rs 1,93,784 to close the issue.
In a case similar to Shahrukh Khan, industrialist Mukesh Ambani too had occupied the land meant for setback under the guise of security in the past. Due to persistent follow up by Anil Galgali for four years Mukesh Ambani himself had to remove the encroachment to avoid due action in the matter.


SCHENECTADY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — Rabbi Matt Cutler from Congregation Gates of Heaven in Schenectady called the actions of a Texas rabbi and his congregation “nothing shy of heroic,” and commended their use of training to escape from a hostage situation on Saturday.
“It didn’t look good. It didn’t sound good. We were very….we were terrified,” Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker from Congregation Beth Israel synagogue told CBS Mornings. Cytron-Walker and the other hostages all made it out of the Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville alive after a standoff that lasted all day.
Cutler commended the way the group kept the gunman engaged until they could escape what the FBI called a “terrorism-related matter” that targeted the Jewish community.
“It is the worst nightmare of any clergyperson,” Cutler explained, “having someone in the pews decide that this is going to be the time to take hostages and make a political statement.”
The FBI and Department of Homeland Security wrote a letter to faith based communities addressing the incident in Colleyville, Texas, and said it appears to be an isolated incident as of now.
However, the organizations warned that the nation is in a period of heightened threat.
“The threat is exacerbated by a divisive sociopolitical environment and ongoing global pandemic, which continue to drive plots by DVEs (domestic violent extremists),” the letter reads.
Rabbi Cutler has been approached by members of the congregation about the hostage incident in Colleyville.
“You always get people who want to talk about this. You always have people who have an inherent fear. My job is to be that calm presence, to say that we’re going to be open for Shabbat worship,” Cutler said, adding that he assures the clergy that the usual safety precautions will be in place.
He does fear the possibility of copycats when an act of terrorism takes place, but points to security measures he’s worked on with the local FBI, police departments, and Jewish Federation to be trained for the worst case scenario, and to make the synagogue a welcoming, yet tightly secure place for gathering.
“We have an attentive, well-trained sense of what’s going to happen, and people at the door who know what they’re doing to be able to size things up,” Cutler explained.
On Friday, Congregation Gates of Heaven will have its Martin Luther King, Jr. birthday celebration, and Rabbi Cutler has extended the invitation to other congregations to show solidarity in a special prayer that mentions Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville. Cutler said congregations should reach out to Gates of Heaven to express interest in participating.
