Lots of stereotypes and generalizations portray men as everything about sex and afraid of commitment, however they are all males truly scared of commitment?
The quick response is no. The very long response is a tad bit more challenging, involving several individual aspects, such as for instance men’s individual, profession and commitment objectives, maturity, psychological readiness and timing.
As connections grow into prospective long-lasting devotion, anxieties, anxieties and concerns are bound to surface in both women and men alike.
Men particularly consider the pros and cons of major devotion while deciding an identified loss of independence and autonomy, the idea of damage and what it can be always participate in lifelong cooperation through its spouse without neglecting their particular requirements and targets.
We have found some understanding of the thing I hear from males about devotion:
1. Men question about opportunities with other women.
They question just what it would be prefer to just be intimate with one lady (you) for the rest of their own schedules. They occasionally worry intimate monotony.
2. Guys covertly consider should you be a girlfriend and mother.
They watch the method that you handle conflict, how you make decisions as well as how you connect with other people to find out if your prices, philosophy and lasting objectives fit.
This helps them assess if connection they have with you now can last forever.
3. Guys imagine their particular future and contemplate relationship.
They think about career goals, household objectives, economic targets and retirement objectives observe how they may attain these objectives along with you by their own area.
4. Males fear being managed and nagged.
whenever committing, they consider what you should think about dudes nights, basketball Sundays, bachelor events, etc. They ask yourself whatever would be stopping socially and just how their relationships changes.
Some men may be concerned about feeling trapped or if they have to “run” every thing by you.
5. One’s childhood is extreme factor.
They can come from a family where divorce case is taboo or perhaps the standard. They might have experienced a very impressive and loving relationship between their parents or one which was harmful and unsettling.
The their unique ideas about dedication is grounded on these encounters.
“Commitment-minded the male is
ready to join you to definitely produce a future.”
Since there tend to be guys who happen to be commitment-minded as well as others whom merely want to play the field, here are a few indications he is prepared to commit:
1. He is aware of their emotional baggage.
If he is been heartbroken or burned before, the guy can keep these experiences prior to now and not deliver all of them into his union along with you.
He has release the fear that you will harm him or leave him if in case these worries develop, the guy trusts the strength of the connection you have got created.
If the guy continues to have worries about devotion and thinks about working one other path, he can stay in any event because he’s mature and offered.
2. He seems confident and profitable in his career.
Men are wired in order to, therefore it is important for him feeling that he’s able to offer and protect you (along with your future youngsters).
If he has gotn’t fully reached their targets, he seems comfy and satisfied with the trail they are on.
3. The guy invests his hard work into your relationship.
And he is comfortable spending money while spending time along with you. He can make an endeavor, communicates freely along with you and helps to keep their phrase.
He may contact rather than book, provide to pick you up, invest considerable time with your loved ones and buddies and support you in reaching your very own aspirations.
4. The guy enables you to a sizable element of his world.
And the guy introduces you as their girl. Their friends, family and co-workers discover both you and he’s enable you to in.
He is not frightened to plan visits, special activities and activities with you ahead.
Commitment-minded males worth company, discussed passions, similar principles and targets and therefore are ready to join you to create a meaningful future.

But 28-year-old Amanda Ball says it is a miracle that her hero fiancé Chris Pritchard was even able to compete at the Glasgow velodrome on behalf of Team Scotland at all.
Amanda, who drew grasps from spectators as she accepted Chris’s proposal with the couple’s four-month-old son Milo in her arms, is still feeling “overjoyed” at his romantic gesture.
And she said that his recovery from a serious accident after he was knocked off his bike by a car during training in 2011 has been incredible.
Chris, 31, made headlines around the world when he got up to ask Amanda to marry him in front of millions of viewers just seconds before the final keirin race.
Despite not being a full-time athlete, he still managed to finish top from the British entries and beat Olympic champions Jason Kenny, Matt Crampton and Callum Skinner.
So when he got down on one knee, I was genuinely shocked
“It wasn’t a secret that I wanted to get engaged,” said Amanda who made a 550-mile round trip from Derbyshire to watch Chris compete along with baby Milo.
“But I genuinely did not expect that. I thought Chris was coming up for some emotional support because he was devastated that he’d not got into the final.
“So when he got down on one knee, I was genuinely shocked.”
Amanda admitted she had given Chris plenty of hints about marriage but didn’t think it would happen any time soon.
She added: “Chris has put so much into his training for the Games, after his crash, I didn’t think he would get back on his bike again.
“I remember the night the policemen came to the door to tell me that he had been hit by a car, it was horrendous and it took him a long time to recover.
“All I want now is for us to spend some time together as a family. And he wants the same thing.”
Amanda, who runs a hair salon and has become something of a celebrity in her home town of Alfreton, insisted that the couple will tie the knot soon.
And she hopes their son will follow in Chris’s footsteps. “I think buying him his first bike will be Chris’s proudest moment as a dad,” she said.
“I’m not sure exactly when we’re going to get married as we have to save up, especially because Chris has been self-funded, but I do know he said he wouldn’t want it to be a long engagement.”
Chris had been planning the engagement since 2012 when he secretly commissioned Glasgow-based jewellery designer Summera Shaheen to create the ring.
He said: “The Commonwealth Games have been incredible, and I am definitely going to try as much as I can to compete in the future.
“Amanda’s support has meant so much and she’s been right by my side all the way. I can’t wait to get married.”

A cement truck overturned in Sunnyvale early Tuesday morning causing a major backup on northbound 101 in Sunnyvale.
Moms Demand Action's Rachel Michelson discusses local efforts on addressing gun violence
49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo made the rounds on Thursday with his dad, talking about a surprising subject.
A former Sunnyvale middle school teacher was arrested on Monday, accused in the alleged sex assault of a student more than a decade ago, police said.
Authorities found no explosives on the campus of Fremont High School in Sunnyvale after it was evacuated Thursday following a bomb threat.
Luong Tammy Huynh, 29, has been arrested in connection with the abduction of a nearly 2-year-old Jacob Jardine in Sunnyvale as he sat in the back of a 2008 Buick Enclave.
Police said they are searching for Jacob Jardine, a toddler who was abducted early Sunday morning. The child was taken when his mother's car was stolen as she unloaded groceries, according to authorities.
Utilizing a green handheld laser pointer, a boombox, and crow effigies hung from trees, the city of Sunnyvale deployed new tactics to rid the city of the abundant crow population, which has become a nuisance during the pandemic.
Each day at dusk, a dark cloud descends on downtown Sunnyvale. Like an Alfred Hitchcock movie, birds have taken over.
A group of officers and firefighters in Sunnyvale are being heralded as heroes this week after saving a 13-year-old girl, threatening to jump off a bridge. It happened on the morning of New Year’s Eve, just after 1:15 a.m.
A specialized team of Sunnyvale officers devote time and resources to stop holiday package thefts, burglaries and other crimes. KTVU was along for the ride to see how they're proactively policing.
Sunnyvale Police conducted a specialized operation Tuesday to nab a homicide suspect who officers say is responsible for shooting two people during a party at a home rented out on Airbnb.
Police in Sunnyvale had a special holiday warning for porch pirates who dared to take advantage of packages left at doorsteps: "Steal a package and you may end up with more than what you wanted."
Reza and his family have made it out of Afghanistan, hours before the suicide bombing. They're now in Brussels. Their sister in California has no idea what will happen next.
Airbnb announced the company will pursue legal claims and damages against the booking guest who held an unauthorized party earlier this month where one person died and one person was injured in a shooting.
Monday, Sunnyvale police returned to the scene of a weekend shooting that left one teenager dead, and one person hospitalized.
Airbnb condemns the “senseless gun violence that took place in Sunnyvale” and is working with police to help with the investigation as well as to support the victim's families.
Two people were shot late Saturday night at a house party involving a home that was rented out on Airbnb, the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety said. One of them died.
Jorge Diaz, 32, entered the home and attacked the woman while she was sleeping in bed. He allegedly straddled her while holding a knife to her neck and threatened to kill her if she screamed, the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety said.
A new survey lists San Francisco as the top when it comes to the best city in the U.S. for those looking for a safe and fun place to visit this summer.

Nigerians youths have been advised to look at agriculture as business and not as subsistence as people perceive it. Permanent Secretary in the Lagos State Ministry of Agriculture, Dr. Olajide Bashorun, gave the advice while speaking at the end of the two weeks intensive programme of 2015 Agric-Yes Summer School at the Agric Training Institute, Araga, Epe.
He said a good number of people all over the world are growing out of agriculture as business men and women and as entrepreneurs who are in the forefront of economic development.
He said government has also introduced the formation of Young Farmers Club in some of the public schools that the government has touched.
He said this is to give room for young farmers to come together willingly to discourse about agriculture with facilitators from the ministry of agriculture to visit the schools and attend their meetings and proffer solutions to some of the problems that they might have in the various enterprises.
He however said the Agric Summer School progrmme, came as a complementary to initiatives mentioned earlier. “we bring promising youth together and intensify training by exposing them to practical agriculture and have the opportunity of visiting successful farms and really see how agriculture is important and really turning into a business” he said.
He said today’s agricultural students are theoretically versed but less practically skilled and they lack the required knowledge for cohesive thought and critical problem solving.
He added that this is why government through the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives initiated the Agric-Yes Summer School to provide secondary school students with the technical skill that will be administered through on-farm practical teaching and field demonstrations.
According to him, 60 students who participated in the two week programmes this year were selected from the six education districts in the state.
He said the initiative is the sixth in the series and over 480 participants have been trained so far, adding that the programme is a follow up to the School Agricultural Programme.
“As a matter of deliberate policy the state government introduce the School Agricultural programme over twenty years ago whereby we go to public schools in Lagos State and look at their potential for agriculture and try to encourage those potential by supporting those schools; every year we have different programmes involving all the enterprise,” he said.
Bashorun also said in various schools over the years, the Ministry has introduced agricultural programmes such as aquaculture, vegetable farming using greenhouse technology, poultry, cassava farming and some form of agro-processing, noting “that this is to add to what the Ministry of Education is doing to encourage their subjects of agriculture”.
Speaking earlier, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Mrs. Olabisi Ariyo, implored the students to embrace agriculture as a laudable profession right from their early stages in life.
She emphasised that the programme is also designed to develop teachers’ technical skills through practical agricultural awareness and orientation that is indeed needed in the education for a turn around.
“Government has continued to give attention to agriculture in schools under the Schools Agricultural Programme so as to increase the yield of farm produce in the state,” she said. Presently 18 secondary schools across the state have been provided with necessary facilities to produce agriculture proceeds for the community close to their respective schools.
Ariyo who was represented by the Director of Science and Technology, Mr. Adebayo Ibitoye, charged the students to put into practice the experience they have gathered from the programme and also disseminate it to other students and teachers in their various schools.

Clarksville, TN – For the 13th consecutive year, F&M Bank holds the top position in Montgomery County’s market share of deposits, according to the FDIC annual summary of insured deposits published last Friday (September 30th).

Annual market share reports are based on FDIC-insured deposits of banks and thrifts through June 30th, and includes 11 financial institutions in Montgomery County and three in Stewart County.
In Montgomery County over the previous 12 months:
- Combined deposits of all 11 reporting banks grew by $72.7 million to reach $2.33 billion.
- F&M’s total deposits grew to $395.1 million, representing 17.0 percent of market share.

F&M Bank has 15 full-service banking offices in seven Middle Tennessee counties. As of June 30th, F&M reported $701.6 million in deposits, ranking 16th among all Tennessee-headquartered banks. F&M currently has assets of $950 million.

Joy Villa, an American singer and songwriter who nearly broke the internet when she revealed her beautiful ‘Make America Great Again’ gown at the Grammys, has documented what it is like to be a woman in a MAGA hat in one of busiest and one of the most Liberal cities in the world.
— Joy Villa (@Joy_Villa) May 9, 2017
Villa’s viral social experiment was modeled after the 2014 viral video “10 Hours of Walking in NYC as a Woman,” except instead, the singer rocked an American flag jumpsuit, a Trump/Pence shirt, and of course — a red Make America Great Again hat.
In the footage, while speaking to a man who opposes Trump, Villa explains that she herself was not always a supporter of our now-president.
“But when I started watching him, I said wait — there’s another side that is not told on CNN,” Villa tells the man. She explained that her realization lead to her looking up activists and journalists who supported him, including the firebrand Milo Yiannopolous, and her red-pilling began.
While the video was filmed about a month ago, it has gained a significant amount of steam in recent days.
Big League Politics spoke to Villa about the experience, and what it was like to openly support the president in such hostile times. She explained that her goal was to show that it is okay to openly show your support — as there are more of us than people think.
“I was very nervous we headed throughout New York City me,” Villa told Big League Politics.
She explained that her friend Jacqueline Van Bierk has filmed the entire day with a hidden GoPro camera.
“I tried to be as open as possible and look and talk to people as much as possible to see their genuine reaction, I got a lot of nasty looks laughing and one guy when I asked him where the train station was yelled out ‘F- Trump!’ at me,” Villa said.
Though there were negative reactions, Villa explained that there were also some extremely positive moments that were captured through the GoPro lens.
“There was people like the guy in Starbucks from Honduras who appreciated me actually looking him in the eyes and chatting with them and talking to him. He was sparked by my American outfit in my Trump hat asking me what I was doing wearing it,” Villa explained.
In one interaction, the man she was speaking to seemed truly open to hearing her perspective.
“The reactions were 50-50 but some of them are truly eye-opening like the last gentleman who went from being a stone cold CNN listener who swore he would never look at anything else to actually being open to looking at other news sources. I take that as a personal win! It was really fun to talk to him and help him open his eyes, give him a taste of the red pill!” Villa exclaimed.
I asked her if she found that other Trump supporters tend to be very supportive, something that I myself have experienced when wearing a MAGA hat or spotting others openly wearing their support.
“Absolutely a lot of the supporters were so friendly! We feel like we’re in a secret club were special union and we are like a family because often would look down upon so much and mistreated in the media — then we meet each other we can’t help but smile and become friends,” Villa told Big League Politics. “Basically we know we want to same thing for America — to keep winning, to be successful, for jobs to flourish, for the economy to grow, and for us to love and support our president and really make it great again. It’s not just a slogan it’s what we’re doing day in and day out.”
Ultimately, Villa found that while there will always be some negative reactions — they are outshined by the positive.
“Overall I did it to show that you can wear your Trump support and support the president, and yes you will get some negative reactions. but also you get some positive reactions. A lot of people gave me thumbs up sign, some smiles and appreciated me supporting the president,” she said.

Court Rules Against Professor Who Refused to Call Transgender Student by Their Preferred Pronouns
Freedom of speech is no more as LGBT tyranny reigns.
A court has determined that an Ohio college professor does not have the free speech in the classroom to decline a request to refer to a transgender student by their preferred pronoun.
The situation began when Nicholas Meriwether, who teaches Religious Philosophy at Shawnee State University in Portsmouth, filed the lawsuit after the school informed him that he had to harbor the delusions of a transgender student or face the consequences.
“Tolerance is a two-way street. Universities are meant to be a marketplace of ideas, not an assembly line for one type of thought, but apparently, Shawnee State has ignored that foundational truth,” wrote Alliance Defending Freedom Travis Barham, who represented Meriwether in the case.
The Acting Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences at SSU, Roberta Milliken initially received a complaint from Meriwether, who alleges that the transgender student pledged to get him fired and called him a “c**t” when he refused to use their preferred pronouns. Milliken advised Meriwether to only refer to students by their last names in order to not offend the transgender student, which he at first rejected.
Meriwether said that “referring to students by last names alone would undermine the serious pedagogical environment he seeks to create, because that is what people refer to one another in junior high or on an athletic team, and not the way scholars engage in a serious, respectful enterprise, refer to one another.”
Eventually Meriwether did comply with the order, but that was not enough. The transgender student continued to get triggered and the University began investigating Meriwether as a result. He feels he was ultimately “silenced” and “punished” by the school for refusing to take actions against his Christian faith.
“Milliken expressed to Meriwether that the student was not satisfied with the arrangement and had threatened to file a Title IX grievance over Dr. Meriwether’s expression,” the lawsuit stated.
His case was dismissed by a federal court last week by Judge Susan Dlott, a left-wing appointee of former President Bill Clinton. She essentially determined that Meriwether’s 1st Amendment rights are no match for the transgender individual’s precious feelings – a troubling sign of things to come as the rule of law is replaced by rule of leftist mob.
“The Court concludes that Meriwether failed to state a claim for violation of his rights under the United States Constitution,” she ruled.
The LGBT movement is gloating as a result of this ruling.
“Since this lawsuit began, transgender students have been worried that they would have to start skipping classes or avoid particular professors because Shawnee State would no longer be able to effectively address bullying, harassment, and mistreatment of transgender students,” said Jae Keniston, the president of Shawnee’s LGBTQ organization SAGA, in a statement.
If the LGBT movement has their way, religious liberty will soon become a thing of the past, and Christians will be forced to kowtow to an agenda that is openly and blatantly blasphemous to their sacred beliefs.

The little girl left for school at dawn. On her way to school, she met a little spider, a little squirrel, a little hedgehog and a little panda. They were all afraid of the darkness and wondering if monsters were hiding in every corner. Only the little girl was not scared, because she had a little magic lantern.

2020 Letters from Portland City Council to Sister Cities Regarding COVID-19
More about Portland's Sister & Friendship Cities
Portland has nine sister cities and one friendship city. Our oldest relationship is with Sapporo, Japan, since 1959. Under the leadership of Mayor Bud Clark, Portland gained seven more sister cities: Guadalajara, Mexico, in 1983; Ulsan, South Korea, and Ashkelon, Israel, in 1987; Suzhou, China, Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and Khabarovsk, Russia, in 1988; and Mutare, Zimbabwe, in 1991. City leaders George Passadore, Jim Francesconi, and Joe D'Alessandro joined Italian Honorary Italian Vice Consul Andrea Bartoloni to establish the Bologna, Italy sister city relationship in 2003. In 2022, the Portland City Council voted to designate Lviv, Ukraine, as a friendship city.
The process of becoming a sister city is established in City Code. First, there must be an established non-profit organization made up of Portland citizens who pledge to keep a relationship active. The committee must be prepared to “undertake the financial and staffing requirements necessary to properly administer such a relationship.”
As far as the financial requirements, each non-profit must maintain at least a $10,000 balance in its bank account on a regular basis. Once an association obtains either friendship status or sister city status, the association must submit financial reports to the Director of International Relations on a regular basis. The city ordinance requires sister city associations to be both financially independent of and accountable to the Mayor of Portland. All sister city association programs are funded by donors and grants, not by the City of Portland.
As far as the staffing requirements, the association should conduct regular meetings and events in the Portland area throughout the year.
Once an association has been a friendship city for at least a year and maintains both the staffing and financial requirements, Portland City Council will vote on changing its status from a friendship city relationship to a sister city relationship.
The Director of International Relations works in the Office of Government Relations and is the liaison between the sister city and friendship city associations and the City Council.
Portland-Sapporo Sister City Association Peace Bell Rededication Ceremony, 2019
2019 marked the 60th sister city relationship anniversary between Portland and Sapporo - this connection is Portland's longest-running sister city relationship and one of the oldest in the United States. As part of the Oregon Convention Center plaza and interior renovation project, the Sapporo "Peace Bell" that was gifted to Portland by Sapporo 31 years ago was rededicated at a celebration hosted by the Oregon Convention Center on June 6, 2019. Attended by over 90 delegates from Sapporo, led by Mayor Akimoto, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler and Sapporo, Japan Mayor Katsuhiro Akimoto expressed their continued commitment to strengthening the historic and productive relationship shared between both cities.
Japan is Oregon's 5th-largest export market and in the span of six decades thriving partnerships along culture, education and business have blossomed through our sister city relationship. In the spirit of inclusion and acknowledgement, the theme for the 60th Anniversary between the two sister cities was centered on the Indigenous People who first lived in the Portland and Hokkaido region. "Like the Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest, the Ainu peoples of Hokkaido share commonalities which are embedded in the history of both of our cities, reminding us that the Pacific Ocean acts not as a barrier but a bridge between our two countries," said Mayor Ted Wheeler, following a land acknowledgement that was provided by Cowlitz spiritual leader Tanna Engdahl, and land protocols by canoe families from the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs, Cowlitz Indian Tribe and Chinook Nation Tribal Communities of the region.
2019 Oregon Consular Corps Celebrates Trade
Each year, the Oregon Consular Corps, the Port of Portland, the City of Portland, and the State of Oregon, along with our esteemed associates in international trade and business, host an event as part of Oregon's World Trade Week. "Celebrate Trade" recognizes private sector companies, organizations and individuals that have made a significant contribution to Oregon's standing as a leader in international trade and investment and their ability to create family wage jobs. 2019 marked the 10th anniversary of the event which took place during World Trade Week and Mayor Ted Wheeler made an appearance to recognize some of the region's best businesses operating in international markets. The gala highlights the significant contribution that Oregon's trade-sector companies make to our region's economic vitality and quality of life. With 90 percent of the world's consumers living outside of the United States, the next generation of business and community leaders will increasingly need international relations and language skills, cultural awareness and an ability to grasp the opportunities and challenges of a global economy. The evening gala also raises funds to students from Lewis & Clark College, Oregon State University, Portland State University, the University of Oregon, and the University of Portland. These funds allow Oregon's next generation of leaders to study abroad, gain international experience and expand their own cultural competence as they prepare to enter an increasingly global workplace.

It looks like Suzuki is getting ready to update its sport bike offering, as Suzuki Motor America has gotten new emissions filings from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for the 2015 Suzuki GSX-R600 and 2015 Suzuki GSX-R750.
New CARB emissions are required when manufacturers make modifications to the engines of the machines that they are selling in the Golden State, which means that we can expect updates for the Suzuki GSX-R600 & Suzuki GSX-R750 (with no change in CARB’s weird weight measurement figures, an entirely new model is unlikely).
Suzuki Motor of America may be still a young company, having just come out of the ashes of American Suzuki’s bankruptcy, but it has some big shoes to fill today, as the NHTSA has announced the brand’s massive recall of its GSX-R sport bikes.
Citing an issue where a combination of older brake fluid and corrosion to the brake piston, inside the front brake master cylinder, could lead to the generation of gas, which in-turn could reduce the fluid pressure to the front brake, this massive recall spans the 2004-2013 Suzuki GSX-R600 and Suzuki GSX-R750 motorcycles, as well as the Suzuki GSX-R1000 from 2005 to 2013.
Another model year, and another limited edition Suzuki GSX-R that has been done-up by Yoshimura. We are a little light on official details regard the 2013 Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R Limited Edition series, but from the looks of things the Japanese tuning brand has again slapped on a number of its hard bits to Suzuki’s sport bike line-up, with an appropriately unique paint job as well.
If we were to copy and paste-in the highlights from the 2012 series, which is what its seems Yoshimura has done, it seems we get a good start on the description of what we are seeing here, though it looks like a custom saddle, mirror block-off plates, wave brake discs, OZ wheels, and a rear shock linkage kit have been added to the mix as well as optional items.
If it happens to tickle your fancy, you can contact your local Suzuki dealer, who supposedly knows how to order one of these things. Don’t ask us about price, we don’t even have a PR contact number for American Suzuki right now. So yeah, we are pretty much only bringing you photos and the same press release as last year.
Yoshimura and Suzuki hold a special relationship, with the aftermarket tuning firm working closely with the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer’s engineers and racing team to develop racing solutions for Suzuki motorcycles. Occasionally that relationship gets extended further, and brings us limited edition production runs of Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R’s.
Basically stock motorcycles with off-the-shelf Yoshimura parts slapped onto them, these limited edition 2012 Suzuki GSX-R600, GSX-R750, & GSX-R1000 motorcycles leave a bit to be desired considering the tuning history of Yoshimura. If you already yawned, it’s best not to click onward past the jump.
Starting 33 years ago with the 1980 Suzuki GS 1000 (above), the Suzuki Endurance Racing Team (SERT) has been one of the winningest teams in the FIM World Endurance Championship. Racking up 11 wins over three decades, SERT owes its victories to three bikes: the GS 1000, GSX-R750, & GSX-R1000.
Getting ready to defend the team’s 2011 Championship victory, SERT is heading to Magny-Cours, France on April 14th for the Bol d’Or 24-Hours and opening round of the endurance road-racing season. To help cheer the team on, Suzuki has released these photographs of all the SERT race Suzukis of the past 33 years. Enjoy those photos after the jump, just don’t ask us where the 1981 Suzuki GS 1000 is.
2011 marks another iteration of the venerable Suzuki GSX-R platform, with the GSX-R600 and GSX-R750 getting an overhaul that sees both bikes’ weight lowered to near anorexic levels. Starting with first with the GSX-R750, it’s hard to believe though that this superbike, along with the GSX-R1000 & GSX-R600 can trace their heritage back 26 years, with many of those years being at the pinnacle of motorcycle performance, racing, and design.
To commemorate and highlight the company’s achievements, Suzuki has put together this short video that underlines the models that have come from the GSX-R’s rich history. Some of the technical achievements are pretty astounding when you see when they occurred (for example, electronically adjusted suspension (NEAS) in 1986…that’s just now becoming an optional feature on consumer streetbikes). It’s a pretty neat history lesson on one of the most recognizable brands in the sportbike market. Check it out after the jump.
Derek Schoeberle, our favorite Suzuki media personality, is back with a feature walk-through on the 2011 Suzuki GSX-R750 (catch his video on the 2011 Suzuki GSX-R600 as well). Like the GSX-R600, Suzuki continues to make improvements to its 750cc track weapon, namely in the form of weight reduction and mild aesthetic overhauling.
Rotating the 750cc motor backwards by 3°, Suzuki was able to shorten the wheelbase on the GSX-R750 by 15mm, and bring the front axle closer to the swingarm pivot point. With a bevy of small weight savings throughout the bike (including Brembo monobloc brakes), the new Suzuki GSX-R750 shaved 21 lbs in component weight from its bulk (a weight loss breakdown is after the jump), and tips the scales 17 lbs less than its 2010 counterpart.
Suzuki made a design departure in 2009 when it revamped its GSX-R1000, while leaving the GSX-R600 & GSX-R750 unchanged aesthetically. Finally bringing the two smaller middleweight gixxers in-line with the larger superbike, the 2011 Suzuki GSX-R600 & 2011 Suzuki GSX-R750 get not only a face lift for the new model year, but also a revised engine package that has ample weight trimmings. While the new Suzuki GSX-R600 & GSX-R750’s won’t make more power than the 2010 models, the revised motor and other components shed roughly 20lbs off both the 2011 Suzuki GSX-R600 (413lbs wet) & 2011 Suzuki GSX-R750 (416lbs wet).
Making the weight-loss program possible, Suzuki went in with its surgical knife and dropped weight in a variety of places, primarily focusing on the bikes’ four-cylinder motor. Losing 4lbs in the motor alone, Suzuki lightened the pistons by 14% and the connecting rods by 12%, while increasing the ventilation holes between the cylinders, helping reduce pumping losses and improve combustion efficiency. Relocating the ECU has saved .6lbs in weight from wiring, which is sort of crazy and impressive at the same time. The new exhaust system sheds 3lbs from the prior models’, while revised injectors increase fuel efficiency by 10% and meet the strict Euro III emission standards. More info and photos after the jump.

For the second year in a row Sørfond has been present at the Dubai film Connection (DFC) at the Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) to invite one project to come to the Sørfond Pitching Forum which takes place every year during the Films from the South-festival in November.
The arrangement at the DFC is part of Sørfond's new partnership with selected film markets around the world, where representatives from Sørfond selects one project that receives an invitation to the Sørfond Pitching Forum, all costs covered.
The Dubai Film Connection celebrated its 10th anniversary in December, and there were, as always, many strong projects present. However, for the Sørfond jury it was the Jordanian project The Alleys, a dark comedy, by director Basel Ghandour and producer Rula Nasser which immediately stood out, and which has been invited to come to Oslo in November.
“In all honesty, during the closing ceremony of Dubai Film connections, we were the third project to be announced for receiving a cash prize of the Front row entertainment, and as Basel and I stepped down the stage, I whispered to Basel: “I wish that we could get the Sørfond prize.“ I was truly shocked when they announced that our project would be given the pitching opportunity in November,“ says Nasser.
Neither the director or the producer have been involved in Sørfond projects before, but both are important figures in the Jordanian film scene. Ghandour co-wrote and produced Theeb, which was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards, and Nasser has been involved in many films touring the international film festivals.
“To me this opportunity is exactly what making films is about: Travelling with your own story to new places and cultures, expanding your partners and audience, testing the originality of the story, and finding passionate people to work with you in taking the story to the big screen. And this is what pitching the project at the forum in November puts on the table. I’ve never co-produced any film with Norwegian partners, and none of my films were ever released in Norwary, so for me it’s an opportunity to find more hearts and hands that are willing to work with us,“ Nasser explains.
About The Alleys
In a heavily populated East Amman neighborhood policed by gossip and violence, Ali, a hustling taxi driver, puts up an image of a career man with a white-collar job fooling family, friends, and Lana, with whom he has a forbidden relationship. They succeed in hiding their romance from society's judgmental eye, until Lana’s mother, Aseel, receives an incriminating video of the young couple being intimate.
Aseel, who lives off her good reputation, forbids Lana from seeing Ali and discreetly hires the ruthless neighborhood gangster, Abaas, to punish Ali. In doing so Abaas finds himself rubbing shoulders with Ali’s friend and reformed convict Hamada. Their lives intertwine and collide not only with each other but many other inhabitant of the neighborhood.

Though he is known for his later abstract imagery, the first volume of this set deals with his formative years as a painter. Covering 1931 to 1969, the text displays an artist in transition, from realistic scene and landscape painter to burgeoning abstract artist. By the 1950s, Guerrero is in New York, and leaving the influence of Picasso behind for Kline, Rothko, and Motherwell. His work follows in the second volume, from 1970-1991, exhibiting his trademark vibrant colors and brushwork. Guerrero died in 1992, his work in prominent collections, including the Guggenheim and the Whitney. The two volume set is available in the library catalog, ND813.G7685 A4 2007.

Devils-Blue Jackets Preview
GAME: New Jersey Devils (25-12-10-1) at Columbus Blue Jackets (14-25-7-3).
TIME: Tuesday, 7 p.m. EST.
Rick Nash is the main reason why the Columbus Blue Jackets aren't the worst
team in the league.
Nash will try to add to his NHL-leading goal total when the Blue Jackets
host the defending Stanley Cup champion New Jersey Devils.
With a pair of goals in a 4-3 victory over Chicago on Saturday, Nash upped
his league-leading total to 30. Vancouver's Markus Naslund is second with 27.
``I really never thought I'd be here,'' said Nash, the No. 1 overall pick in
the 2002 draft. ``I owe a lot to the team and to the power play. Almost half of
them are power-play goals. (David) Vyborny assisted on about 80 percent of
them, so I owe a lot to him.''
Fourteen of Nash's goals have come with the man advantage, while Vyborny has
17 assists and his 30 points are second on the team, six behind Nash.
The Blue Jackets, however, are the second-worst team in the Western
Conference, and are just eight points ahead of league-worst Pittsburgh.
Columbus has just one loss in its last five (3-1-1), including wins over
playoff hopefuls St. Louis and Los Angeles.
The Devils have won four of their last five, but are still looking up at
Atlantic Division-leading Philadelphia. After this game, New Jersey finishes
its three-game road trip with stops at Detroit and St. Louis.
Following a 10-game goal drought, Devils left wing Jeff Friesen has scored
in three of the last four contests. Friesen scored his third game-winning goal
this season in New Jersey's 3-2 victory over Atlanta on Sunday.
Friesen took advantage of a giveaway by Atlanta's Ilya Kovalchuk and scored
the winner early in the third period for his 11th of the season.
``Sometimes you get in slumps and, for whatever reason, guys don't get on
the same page,'' Friesen said. ``Sometimes it's a frustrating rut to get out
of, but I feel I'm out of the rut now and I'm starting to contribute
Martin Brodeur made 24 saves and Grant Marshall scored a goal and set up
another by Patrik Elias for the Devils, who have just one loss in their last

Welcome to the Cannabis Countdown, the Legal Marijuana Industry’s Number One Curated Weekly News Recap.
In This Week’s Edition, We Recap and Countdown the Top 10 Cannabis and Psychedelics Industry News Stories for the Week of June 7th – 13th, 2021.
Without further ado, let’s get started.
* Yahoo Finance readers, please click here to view the full article.
As Another Cannabis Earnings Season Comes to a Close, the Financial Results From Some of the Smaller U.S. Multi-State Operators (MSOs) Have Fallen Under the Radar, Despite Posting Awe-Inspiring Numbers
A perfect example of an under-the-radar company that recently posted stellar earnings is Hollister Biosciences (CSE: HOLL) (OTC: HSTRF) (FRA: HOB), which saw its Q4 and full-year 2020 revenue skyrocket +3,243% and +2,960% year over year, respectively. Hollister followed that up with a blowout Q1 2020 earnings report, which saw the company’s revenue surge another +97% over Q4 (+2,332% YoY) and featured net income of $2 million and adjusted EBITDA of $2.8 million. In addition to Hollister’s strengthening fundamentals, the rapidly rising cannabis MSO also holds a significant stake in the burgeoning psychedelics industry, making HOLL stock one of the more unique, “best of both worlds” investment opportunities.
The Governor of Connecticut Signed Legislation That Includes Language Requiring the State to Carry Out a Study Into the Therapeutic Potential of Psilocybin Mushrooms
Gov. Ned Lamont (D), who may also see a marijuana legalization bill delivered to his desk if the legislature succeeds in approving it this week, signed off on the psychedelics policy proposal as part of a broader package of health reform initiatives. The provision stipulates that the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services must convene a working group, which needs to include legislators familiar with public health issues, to “study the health benefits of psilocybin.”
Two-Thirds of American Voters Believe That the War on Drugs Should End, and They Support Decriminalizing Simple Possession of Currently Illegal Substances, According to a New Poll From the ACLU and Drug Policy Alliance (DPA)
The survey comes just ahead of the 50th anniversary of President Richard Nixon declaring the drug war, igniting a system of mass criminalization over behavior that advocates and experts say should instead be treated as public health matters. Sixty-five percent of those surveyed said they agreed the U.S. should pull out of the war on drugs. And 66 percent support the more specific policy of “eliminating criminal penalties for drug possession and reinvesting drug enforcement resources into treatment and addiction services”—a reform referred to by advocates as decriminalization.
The Governors of Texas and Louisiana on Thursday Separately Indicated That They Will Sign Marijuana Reform Bills That Have Recently Been Delivered to Their Desks
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) left no room for interpretation on how he would act on a medical cannabis expansion measure that the legislature sent him. “Veterans could qualify for medical marijuana under new law,” he tweeted. “I will sign it.” Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) was less explicit, stating at a press briefing that he’s “interested in signing the bill that would lessen the penalty for possessing small amounts of marijuana.”
The Field of Psychedelics to Treat Mental Health is Attracting Growing Interest
Jim Parker was impressed enough with the improvements his niece had shown after being treated with psychedelic drugs for post-traumatic stress disorder that he was willing to put up his own money for further research. The Calgary trader anted up $3 million for a new position at the University of Calgary focusing on the use of psychedelic drugs including ketamine, ecstasy and psilocybin — commonly known as magic mushrooms — to treat mental illness. The university says the position is the first of its kind in Canada — similar research is being done at Johns Hopkins University in the U.S. The U of C has begun an internal candidate search to fill the position.
A One-Time $100 Million Grant to Help California Cities and Counties Streamline Cannabis Business Licensing Requested By California Gov. Gavin Newsom Won Approval in the State Legislature
According to the Los Angeles Times, lawmakers on Monday signed off on exactly what Newsom requested in May – $100 million to be split among 17 cities and counties that have already issued marijuana business licenses to companies but are struggling to move them from “provisional” permits to “annual” licenses.
ATAI Has Applied to List its Common Shares on the NASDAQ Under the Ticker Symbol “ATAI”

Canadian Cannabis Producer Hexo Lost Almost 21 Million Dollars in its Third-Quarter on Revenue That Came in Substantially Lower Than Expected, in Part, Because of Increasing Competition From Craft Marijuana Companies
Net revenue for the three months ended April 30 was CA$22.7 million, 31% lower than the previous quarter, and about one-third lower than analysts’ predictions. HEXO Corp’s (TSX: HEXO) (NYSE: HEXO) (FRA: 74H) CA$20.7 million net loss was about the same as the previous quarter’s deficit, bringing the year-to-date loss to CA$45.7 million. “Q3 was our fault,” Hexo CEO Sebastien St. Louis said on a conference call with analysts, citing cultivation decisions made by the company and production issues relating to hash.
Psilocybin is a Controlled Substance in Canada. This Means That Magic Mushrooms Are Illegal for Recreational Use

After Putting Out a Formal Request for Information About Pain Management Alternatives to Opioids in February, the NFL and NFL Players Association Are Providing $1 Million to Fund Research on Cannabinoids and Pain Relief, According to Front Office Sports
“While this represents a different stance by the league, it’s still conservative compared to players who use cannabis or cannabis products – particularly CBD, a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that has gained mainstream acceptance,” per FOS. The NFL did shorten the window during which it tests players for THC and raise the threshold to trigger a positive test last season, but players can still be fined several weeks’ salary and be forced to join a treatment program for testing positive for the inhibiting chemical in marijuana. Though it shouldn’t be the case, that currently makes the use of CBD – which both past and current players swear by – somewhat of a grey area in the NFL.

The U.S. Forest Service has published a solicitation asking for bids that could add up to 30 helicopters to the firefighting fleet this summer.
Published April 22, the solicitation has a very quick turnaround date, with offers due April 27, 2020. In order to be eligible for this opportunity, parties applying must already have one of the 68 current Call When Needed agreements in place.
The Forest Service is asking for pricing proposals for Type 1 and 2 helicopters which would be available for a 90-day Mandatory Availability Period commencing on either June 1st or June 15th.
As we wrote April 22, the four-year exclusive use contracts for Type 1 firefighting helicopters issued in 2016 expire April 30. Since new contracts based on the solicitation issued November 15, 2019 have not yet been awarded the Forest Service has given 30-day contracts to a handful of vendors. The agency has refused to provide to us any details about the 30-day contracts.
Since many of their procurement actions for firefighting aircraft are protested, delaying activation for several months, these 90-day contracts for up to 30 helicopters may be a safety net in case of a protest. If a company receives one of the Type 1 EU contracts, the Forest Service “will then remove your awarded helicopter from consideration for this one-time [90-day] opportunity.”
On April 6, 2018 the Forest Service awarded EU contracts for 34 Type 2 firefighting helicopters. The duration was for one base year through April 30, 2019, with the possibility of 3 one-year renewal option periods. The U.S. Forest Service has shown by how they manage the air tanker and Type 1 helicopter contracts that the option periods are definitely not a sure thing after cutting those aircraft during recent optional years.
This possible increase in the number of helicopters is presumably a response to what could a diminished firefighting capability during the COVID-19 pandemic. On March 23 Fire Aviation called for a large increase in the numbers of aviation resources:
Congress needs to appropriate enough funding to have 40 large air tankers on exclusive use contracts. Until that takes place and the aircraft are sitting on ramps at air tanker bases, all 17 of the large air tankers on call when needed contracts need to be activated this summer. Right now, only one large air tanker is working.
Several years ago the number of the largest helicopters on EU contracts, Type 1, were cut from 34 to 28. This number needs to be increased to 50. Until that happens 22 CWN Type 1 helicopters should be activated this summer.
If this increase in the helicopter fleet actually occurs, unimpeded by contract protests, it is the right thing to do.
The next action that needs to be taken is a similar increase in the fixed wing fleet this summer.
Thanks and a tip of the hat go out to Sean. Typos or errors, report them HERE.

The first downloadable content for Call of Duty: Black Ops - just announced as the UK's Christmas number one title - will be released for the Xbox 360 on 1 February 2011 at a price of $15, according to Xbox Live director of programming Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb.
Speaking in his most recent podcast, Hryb described the download as a multiplayer map pack, with four normal multiplayer maps and an additional stage for the game's co-operative Zombies mode.
Two of the standard multiplayer maps will be based on locations from the single-player campaign: Hong Kong and the Arctic Circle. The other two will be all new locations; one based around the Berlin Wall and the other an ice hockey stadium - the latter apparently a reference to the ice hockey semi-final between the U.S. and USSR during the 1980 Winter Olympics.
Microsoft has an agreement lasting till 2012, that will see all downloadable content for Black Ops released first on Xbox 360. Traditionally the downloads for Call Of Duty have been limited purely to additional multiplayer map packs, but Activision has hinted that the extras for Black Ops may include more varied content.
Although the point has never been clarified it is assumed that the same downloadable content will also be released for the PlayStation 3 and PC versions of the game, likely around a month after the Xbox 360.


BMW and a gathering of 600 invited guests got into the Christmas spirit at the weekend, as the Austrian town of Seefeld staged the celebration of a successful season for the marque in Formula One and the European Touring Car Championship.
The festivities followed the unveiling of BMW's 2004 competition programme, which motorsport director Mario Theissen said would again be spearheaded by the assault on Formula One's world championship.
"The number one priority is naturally our challenge for the Formula One world championship with the BMW WilliamsF1 team," Theissen said, "I believe we've got what it takes. We have developed a further new engine in Munich and we want to set the benchmark for Formula One again in 2004 with the BMW P84. Our partner WilliamsF1 has announced the second innovative chassis in succession, and we can continue to depend on our successful drivers Juan Pablo Montoya, Ralf Schumacher and Marc Gené."
Attending the party were Formula One drivers Montoya, along with wife Connie, Schumacher, with wife Cora, and test driver Gené, who were joined by the BMW works drivers from the European Touring Car Championship, Dirk and Jörg Müller. Also joining in the celebrations were another two dozen racing drivers who had claimed motor racing successes around the world for BMW in 2003.
Enjoying the Christmas market in the medieval ambience of the BMW Motorsport Castle and the party that followed were, among others, BMW board member Professor Burkhard Göschel, WilliamsF1 bosses Frank Williams and Patrick Head, outgoing BMW motorsport director Gerhard Berger, ex-Formula One world champion Keke Rosberg, Prince Leopold of Bavaria, Alessandro Zanardi, TV celebrity Wolfgang Fierek and TV presenter Barbara Schöneberger, who hosted the varied entertainment programme with occasional assistance from Hans-Joachim Stuck.
In the evening, the most successful of the independent drivers were honoured at the traditional award ceremony of the BMW Sports Trophy, worth a total of €241,000.
Fun and games preceded the festivities, as the 1800 square metre open-air ice stadium at the Olympia Sport and Congress Centre in Seefeld was transformed into a venue for curling and ice hockey competitions in the afternoon, with the three F1 drivers forming one team and the two Müllers, plus BMW motorsport director Mario
Theissen making up the other.
While the traditional sports passed off without a hitch - even if a little lacking in expertise - tackling the ice on BMW mountain bikes, even with spiked tyres, and in a Formula BMW race car demanded considerable skill from all inclined to take part.
The drivers' motivation to break the dominance of the colour red - representing rivals Ferrari and Alfa Romeo - was evident. Even when they dressed up as Santa Claus to hand out sweets to delighted spectators, they donned blue and white coats!
