Have you ever realized that a longtime habit doesn’t make sense? That there’s a simpler and more effective way to do something? That maybe there are other reflexive practices that you should re-evaluate?
For me, this epiphany came when I saw that the tomato plants I grew from seed were not thriving as well as the ones I bought at a greenhouse. I decided that next year, we’re leaving the nurturing of tomato, pepper, eggplant and broccoli seedlings to a nursery.
As we get older, we tend to get set in our ways, frozen in our routines. We do things a certain way because that’s the way we’ve always done them. It takes a jolt of recognition to say to ourselves, “Hey, that’s a dumb way to do it” and look for alternatives.
Since we began gardening, Betsy and I have enjoyed looking at seed catalogs in the wintertime and marveling at all the different varieties. I bought tomato seeds called Cosmonaut Volkov because I liked the name — and found they did well in our garden. When the seeds arrived in the mail, it was like a harbinger of spring.
I suppose that starting plants from seed made us feel like big-time farmers instead of hobby gardeners. It certainly appealed to our frugality credo to pay pennies for a seed instead of $2.50 for a seedling.
I enjoyed the process of planting each seed in a flat filled with seed-starting mix, then in a few weeks mixing compost and potting soil and transplanting the sprouts into 6-ounce yogurt containers. But then the questions began. Do I have the right nutritional mix? Am I giving the correct amount of water? Is it warm enough for the seed to germinate? Am I transplanting at the right time? Am I giving it enough light? Or maybe too much?
Then there’s the expense and bother of shining electric lights on the seedlings. There’s the question of when and how long the seedling should be “hardened off” (put outside) before planting.
To me, it’s not worth it anymore. I can go to Andrew’s Greenhouse in South Amherst and buy all the tomato, pepper, eggplant and broccoli seedlings I need for about $30. I know they have been raised under optimal conditions and are ready to go in the ground. I’m also supporting a local business.
Every time I go there I run into proprietor Andy Cowles, who gives me “tomato counseling.” I found that he doesn’t believe in planting tomato seedlings horizontally, as I’ve done for years. Tomorrow I’m going there to buy a tomato plant to replace one that’s doing poorly.
We will still buy seeds of plants that are sown directly in the ground, such as lettuce, kale, turnips, peas, cucumbers and winter squash. Also, plants that need to start early, such as leeks and celeriac. I’m undecided about summer squash; if I bought seedlings, perhaps they’d be stronger and less vulnerable to attack by flea beetles.
Maybe it’s time to question some of my other habits. Do the health benefits I get from eating a banana a day justify the journey it must make from Central America? Should I consider eating butter again? Does it make sense to watch the weather report on TV every night? The possibilities are endless.

Sun Valley / West End median real estate price is $1,439,655, which is more expensive than 90.2% of the neighborhoods in California and 97.9% of the neighborhoods in the U.S.
The average rental price in Sun Valley / West End is currently $2,803, based on NeighborhoodScout's exclusive analysis. Rents here are currently lower in price than 62.4% of California neighborhoods.
Sun Valley / West End is a suburban neighborhood (based on population density) located in San Rafael, California.
Sun Valley / West End real estate is primarily made up of medium sized (three or four bedroom) to small (studio to two bedroom) single-family homes and apartment complexes/high-rise apartments. Most of the residential real estate is occupied by a mixture of owners and renters. Many of the residences in the Sun Valley / West End neighborhood are older, well-established, built between 1940 and 1969. A number of residences were also built between 1970 and 1999.
In Sun Valley / West End, the current vacancy rate is 1.9%, which is a lower rate of vacancies than 88.1% of all neighborhoods in the U.S. This means that the housing supply in Sun Valley / West End is very tight compared to the demand for property here.
Many things matter about a neighborhood, but the first thing most people notice is the way a neighborhood looks and its particular character. For example, one might notice whether the buildings all date from a certain time period or whether shop signs are in multiple languages. This particular neighborhood in San Rafael, the Sun Valley / West End neighborhood, has some outstanding things about the way it looks and its way of life that are worth highlighting.
A unique way of commuting is simply not to. And in the Sun Valley / West End neighborhood, analysis shows that 35.1% of the residents work from home, avoiding a commute altogether. This may not seem like a large number, but it is a higher proportion of people working from home than is found in 99.5% of the neighborhoods in the United States. One thing NeighborhoodScout's research reveals is that the wealthier and/or more isolated the neighborhood, the greater the proportion of residents who choose to work from home.
Think about the people you know personally. How many of them would purchase box seats to opening night at the symphony? How many of them regularly attend gallery openings, or are the first to reserve tickets to opening night at the ballet? If they're like most of us, they don't do any of these things. But if you're among an exclusive crowd of wealthy and refined patrons of the arts, then you'll feel right at home in the Sun Valley / West End neighborhood: a neighborhood in which more "urban sophisticates" live than 96.4% of neighborhoods across the U.S. Here, your neighbors are defined as having urbane tastes in literature, music, live theatre and the arts. They are wealthy, educated, travel in style, and live a big city lifestyle whether or not they live in or near a big city. In addition to being an excellent choice for urban sophisticates, this neighborhood is also a very good choice for active retirees.
Did you know that the Sun Valley / West End neighborhood has more Austrian and Lithuanian ancestry people living in it than nearly any neighborhood in America? It's true! In fact, 1.7% of this neighborhood's residents have Austrian ancestry and 1.7% have Lithuanian ancestry.
Sun Valley / West End is also pretty special linguistically. Significantly, 0.6% of its residents five years old and above primarily speak Japanese at home. While this may seem like a small percentage, it is higher than 95.6% of the neighborhoods in America.
How wealthy a neighborhood is, from very wealthy, to middle income, to low income is very formative with regard to the personality and character of a neighborhood. Equally important is the rate of people, particularly children, who live below the federal poverty line. In some wealthy gated communities, the areas immediately surrounding can have high rates of childhood poverty, which indicates other social issues. NeighborhoodScout's analysis reveals both aspects of income and poverty for this neighborhood.
The neighbors in the Sun Valley / West End neighborhood in San Rafael are wealthy, making it among the 15% highest income neighborhoods in America. NeighborhoodScout's exclusive analysis reveals that this neighborhood has a higher income than 92.6% of the neighborhoods in America.

What we choose to do for a living reflects who we are. Each neighborhood has a different mix of occupations represented, and together these tell you about the neighborhood and help you understand if this neighborhood may fit your lifestyle.

The second most important occupational group in this neighborhood is sales and service jobs, from major sales accounts, to working in fast food restaurants, with 18.7% of the residents employed.

Culture is shared learned behavior. We learn it from our parents, their parents, our houses of worship, and much of our culture – our learned behavior – comes from our ancestors. That is why ancestry and ethnicity can be so interesting and important to understand: places with concentrations of people of one or more ancestries often express those shared learned behaviors and this gives each neighborhood its own culture. Even different neighborhoods in the same city can have drastically different cultures.
In the Sun Valley / West End neighborhood in San Rafael, CA, residents most commonly identify their ethnicity or ancestry as German (19.7%). There are also a number of people of Irish ancestry (17.5%), and residents who report English roots (13.0%), and some of the residents are also of Italian ancestry (8.9%), along with some Swedish ancestry residents (4.1%), among others.

A deep financial crisis is threatening hospitals in Jerusalem and their operation, Palestinian Health Minister Hani Abdeen and hospital managers have revealed. Six hospitals in East Jerusalem face a major financial crisis, due to the inability of the Palestinian Authority (PA) to pay the cost of health services, exposing thousands of patients in the West Bank to danger. The accumulated debt of the PA is around $18 million in receivables for healthcare centers. The referral of patients to hospitals in East Jerusalem are increasing, and we rely almost exclusively on them for rare specializations, Jordanian newspaper (al-Dostor) quoted Abdeen. For his part, Augusta Victoria Hospital Director Tawfiq Nasser said that when the PA is facing any financial difficulties it halts payments, but the hospital should continue to receive patients, adding that he can no longer continue to provide the same services and this puts patients at risk Several hospitals in East Jerusalem have signed agreements with the PA since 1997 to receive patients from the West Bank and Gaza, provided that the costs are paid monthly, but the payments stopped about ten months ago.

Sacred Heart, Lexington Christian top contenders in girls golf state championships
With all five players back from last year’s championship team, the Lexington Christian Academy girls golf team is the clear-cut favorite to win this week’s Leachman Buick-GMC-Cadillac State Golf Championships.
But Sacred Heart coach Mackenzie Moir isn’t conceding anything.
“They have the experience down in Bowling Green and have the experience overall, but I’m still giving us a shot,” Moir said. “We’ll see what happens.”
The two-round tournament is set for Tuesday and Wednesday at Bowling Green Country Club. Play will start at 8 a.m. EDT on both days.
Sacred Heart won six of seven state titles from 2011-17 before Lexington Christian beat the Valkyries by eight shots last year.
Lexington Christian features four seniors on this year’s team, led by Laney Frye. She won the individual state title last year and has committed to the University of Kentucky.
Sacred Heart had three of the top four finishers in last week’s Region Six Tournament. Senior Julia Hagewood, the team’s No. 5 player, won the title with a 2-over-par 74. Sophomore Abigail Sutherland was third with a 75, and senior Jacqueline Steier was fourth with a 76.
“Everyone on our team has probably at some point been the low scorer during a tournament,” Moir said. “I know we have it. We just have to control what we can control and worry about us and go down there and give it our best shot.”
Other individual qualifiers from the Louisville area were Shelby County’s Grace Clark, Emily Allen and Isabella Wiley; Christian Academy’s Christina Popovich, Grace Walker and Hannah Talbott; Whitefield Academy’s Jenna Estravillo; Bullitt East’s Macie Brown; and Presentation’s Addi Croslin.
Led by Lexington Christian’s Frye and Shelby County’s Clark, seven of the top 11 finishers from last year’s state tournament will return this week. The other five are Great Crossing’s Rylea Marcum, South Warren’s Faith Martin, Ashland Blazer’s Kate Hanni, Monroe County’s Connor Geralds and Madison Central’s Mattie Neeley.

Searching for a Manga
I am searching for a manga i read scanned a few years ago but forgot the name. It's about a band (not Beck). The main character is a kid with a mohawk who is always called a rooster, he makes a band with a bassist that was in some sort of crazy band before and had to have his hand burned with acid to get out, the drummer is a dude that dresses like a chick and is an S&M mistress, and the lead singer is some sort of government experiment. The band names themselves something after a myth about some band of travelling animals. I've searched high and low, and any help would be much appreciated.

According to The Intercept, its report relies on a wide range of sources, together with DHS “memos, emails, and documents” spanning years — some that have been acquired through a lawsuit, some which can be public paperwork, and — maybe crucially — some that have been leaked. The assortment of supplies is alleged to current a largely hidden effort to counter the deliberate and unintentional spreading of false data, in addition to the sharing of details in a manner the DHS considers malinformation, which is content material supposedly shared “with harmful intent” and sure with out context.
The mission is alleged to increase far past what one might think about an excellent religion effort to assist shield the general public from manipulation from dangerous actors, nevertheless. Among different issues, Lee Fang, an investigative journalist with The Intercept, claims that “obvious parody accounts” have been victims of those censorship efforts, in addition to content material that challenged the U.S. authorities’s pandemic response. Of specific notice is an alleged portal created by Facebook that’s stated to grant the DHS and unspecified “government partners” particular entry to fast-tracking disinformation requests.

Senior RCMP management failed to deal with many harassment complaints and that is costing taxpayers plenty. A class action settlement originally thought to involve 500 victims and a cost of $100 million, may now include 4,000 female employees. The final cost will be substantial.
The CEO of Tides Canada issued a copy of his recent letter to RCMP Commissioner Paulson. If anyone doubted the once iconic police agency had become servant to rich industrialists and governing politicians, uncertainty was removed by its decision that a mostly foreign-owned industry needed protection from legitimate discussion of public policy by Canadians. There is an irony involved in the RCMP suggestion that a respected organization staffed and supported by people aiming to preserve the livable space of our nation is allied with extremist criminality.

Bing Maps seems to have been inspired by Google Maps’ habit of releasing visual variations of their rival maps service for special occasions and has launched a new Spooky theme for their new web version of Bing Maps just a few days before Halloween.
This special theme can be activated via the map style picker in the top right corner in the new Bing Maps for the U.S.A., Canada and the U.K. which makes sense as these three regions have a habit of celebrating Halloween a great deal more than the rest of the world. The Spooky theme alters the color scheme of the map to predominantly feature black, purple, and orange, and also changes several icons to bats, skeletons, and jack-o-lanterns.
Bing Maps has also curated three lists featuring the most haunted places in the U.S.A., Canada and the U.K. as part of the Halloween season which is actually pretty convenient for those looking for an interesting road trip and an extra scary way to spend the 31st of October.

- Mary Ramirez used CIGNA's integrated medical and disability programs to stay at work
- CIGNA is a national sponsor of National Rehabilitation Awareness Week
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- As a collections company employee, Mary Ramirez has a job that requires her to sit at her desk for hours a day working with customers. In October 2009, she was in a motor vehicle accident that changed everything. The accident herniated discs in her back and soon made a desk job very challenging.
After three months of physical therapy and prescriptions to help with the pain, Mary still experienced difficulty when she sat down for long periods as part of her job responsibilities. She was worried that she wouldn’t be able to stay at the job she enjoyed unless she could find some relief. Then, she met a CIGNA nurse case manager as part of CIGNA’s Absence Prediction and Prevention program offered through her employer’s disability and medical insurance coverage.
“My doctor planned treatments for the bulging discs in my neck and back, but I still needed to work in the meantime,” explained Mary. “I called CIGNA and learned about a number of programs my employer offered as part of my benefits package that could help.”
After interviewing Mary and assessing her health and current treatment plan, the CIGNA health advocate nurse referred her to several programs, including an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to deal with the stress of her injury, a weight management program to alleviate some of the pressure on her back and vocational rehabilitation services to address possible work station modifications.
Mary ultimately lost 30 pounds and also found some comfort in the counseling sessions. But, it was the vocational rehabilitation counselor assigned to help with the workstation assessment that brought the greatest relief. The counselor helped Mary coordinate with her employer and physician and even research retailers to find the best solution, before the vocational counselor found the right chair that helped with Mary’s back pain.
“Losing the weight made a difference in the strain on my back and the counseling sessions offered through EAP have been terrific during my recovery,” said Mary. “But the prescription chair eased the back pain I felt every day. It gave me the peace of mind I needed to stay at work without disability leave, which was my greatest concern.”
“Many chronic conditions can lead to work absence. By identifying the warning signs, we can help someone address their health needs earlier, while preventing problems that could lead to a more severe condition,” said Mark Marsters, senior vice president, Group Operations, for CIGNA.
CIGNA launched the Absence Prediction and Prevention program in October 2009. Drawing on a variety of medical and disability claims data and socioeconomic information, the program works to identify employees who are at risk of a disabling injury or illness, then offers services tailored to individuals to help prevent disabilities from occurring. Employees benefit from one-to-one assistance from health advocate nurses, who may refer the individual to specialized CIGNA programs including stay-at-work services and the drug therapy optimization program, as well as other CIGNA health advocacy programs offered by their employer.
On September 29, Mary will be visiting CIGNA’s disability claims office in Dallas to share her story with CIGNA employees at one of the many employee and customer gatherings CIGNA will host across the country. Through these events, CIGNA will spotlight how the Absence Prediction and Prevention program can help people stay at work.
CIGNA sponsors National Rehabilitation Awareness Week. In addition to Mary’s visit, the company will also highlight clients for their commitment to helping employees return to work including Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and Salem Health. CIGNA employees will also volunteer their time to local non-profits that help people return to work including Dress for Success Dallas in Plano, Texas, Verdugo Job Center in Glendale, Calif., and Days of Caring in Pittsburgh, Pa.

The summer movie season is ending...and for the first time in a while, I feel like I will be starved of good & exciting movies...
Even in January & February earlier, there are still some films that excited me...doesn't seem to be the case for August, though...
But the only message here is that if I'm not publishing anything for 2 or even 3 weeks, it won't be because I have abandoned this blog, but rather because I'm waiting for a movie I want to watch...
Suicide Squad (Aug 5-USA, Aug 5-UK, Aug 4-Singapore)
But the summer is not yet over, and I have Suicide Squad as the last big summer blockbuster that I'm really looking forward to. Initially, I wasn't particularly excited about this film, especially given that I've seen a version of the Suicide Squad in the tv series Arrow. Additionally, some of those castings, like Jared Leto's Joker or even Will Smith's Deadshot - didn't hit me. And to be honest, even now, I haven't been completely turned in terms of the casting. Nothing against Will Smith, but he doesn't look at all like the silent, ruthless hunter I knew as Deadshot. And with the Joker, I am forced to accept that this will just be a different version of the Joker.
That being said, I have been fully turned in terms of the movie as a whole. It looks super exciting, and its all down to the trailers for me. All of the trailers I've seen looks very exciting and it really looks like a movie where we're just due for some spectacular fun. The tone feels very light, and the mood very playful - and best of all, its not afraid to show that. Its embracing the playful side, and not trying to mask it as a good film. So, while I'm not fully turned in terms of the characters, I really am looking forward to have a lot of fun with this film.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI3hecGO_04 (Comic-Con Trailer)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMb-RrhTxIE (Trailer #1) (Must See!!!)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKMgB01MU-w (Trailer #2) (Must See!!)
Pete's Dragon (Aug 12-USA, Aug 12-UK, Sept 1-Singapore)
This is a movie that I am not looking forward to - but its a movie I can watch. Its another Disney live-action film - but not based on a previous animation film (like The Jungle Book or Cinderella). It is based on an existing story which I'm not familiar of. So, the only thing I have about this movie is from the trailers. It looks like it has potential to be a decent family film, but I can't say I'm excited about this film.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkmhppxFk84 (Teaser Trailer)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xhv5Kc8dmv8 (Trailer #1)
Ben-Hur (Aug 19-USA, Sept 9-UK, Aug 18-Singapore)
This is a film I would normally be interested to watch. While it lacks the talent & the big names, it is still an action film, and in the month of August, this probably might be a film to look out for. So, for you people who may be interested, keep a look out at the reviews (or Rotten Tomatoes) to help you decide whether to watch this film or not.
Me? I most likely won't watch this film for one personal, compelling reason. Because this film portrays the crucifixion of Jesus, and that is not a scene I want to witness on screen. I have read it in the bible & heard it in mass over and over again - and even without visuals, I can already imagine the cruelty of it. Its probably the most cruel act ever, and it is something I'm terrified of seeing. So, there you go. Please don't judge me...but that's the truth of it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BmeR9GYdDU (Trailer #1)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=df2VrzS1HCs (Trailer #2)
Mechanic: Ressurection (Aug 26-USA, Aug 26-UK, Sept 1-Singapore)
This to me looks like my usual shot of generic action flick. It may or may not be, but the way I see it right now, this will probably be that generic action flick which might be cool to watch but has less depth & substance in the plot. So, its a film I will watch without any sort of expectations at all.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-P3f_wDXvs (Trailer #1)
The only other movie out there that might be interesting is Nine Lives (August 5), where we get to see Kevin Spacey...as a cat.

Hummingbirds are one of the most curious, fascinating birds to be seen. Famous for their quick darting movements, their ability to fly sideways and backwards, and to hover motionless at will, hummingbirds can be a perfect living ornament to your perennial garden. Below are some suggestions for hummingbird attracting plants that do well in Northern zones.
The most common hummingbirds in the Northeast are the Ruby-throated and Rufous. Rubys are very curious and may even try to investigate brightly colored clothing. Rufous may have the ideal size-to-weight ratio among North American hummingbirds. This bird out flies all other species, and usually gets its way at feedings at the expense of slower, less-maneuverable hummers.
It’s a little-known fact that hummingbirds have a carnivorous side. Small insects and spiders make up one-fourth of their diet. Hummingbirds also depend on the quick energy provided by flower nectar to fuel their turbo-charged lifestyles. Red, especially, acts like a beacon to hummingbirds.
It’s best to build your hummingbird heaven slowly. Start with three or four flowering plants and add a few more each year. ‘Nigra’ hollyhock shows maroon flowers so dark they can appear black, making a striking statement in the garden. Butterfly weed has brilliant orange blooms and five nectar cups each with concave horns. The ‘Happy Returns’ daylily is a wonderful transitional bloomer that will show lovely soft lemon yellow flowers right into fall. Lastly, the Cardinal Flower, a lobelias, illuminates shady spots with red spikes. Check with your nursery to find out your soil type and sun requirements for any perennial you choose.
To encourage hummingbirds to return to your garden, provide a succession of blooms from spring through early fall. Hanging baskets and early-flowering perennials work well in early spring. In the fall, hummingbirds build up a fat layer for migrating with heavy nectar producers like orange honeysuckle and trumpet creeper vine.
There are many perennials to choose from in a variety of colors. Stick with single and non-hybrid types to attract hummingbirds. As an added benefit: a hummingbird garden appeals to many kinds of butterflies and moths.


The event, organized by young enthusiasts of Vietnamese traditional costumes, showcased various traditional garments including nhat binh (square-collared garb), ngu than (a five-paneled aristocratic gown from the 19th and early-20th centuries), and ao dai (Vietnam’s traditional long gown), among others, as well as traditional hats.
Foreign tourists were impressed by young people dressed in unique and colorful traditional outfits. Many of them used their smartphones or cameras to capture the essence of the event, which was filled with Vietnamese culture.
Nguyen Nga, a member of the organizing board, explained that the aim of the event was to promote Vietnamese traditional costumes to the public. While ao dai is already well-known, many people are not familiar with other types of traditional costumes, which are also valuable parts of the country’s heritage, Nga added.
Daniel, a British tourist, expressed his excitement when he came across the event during his stroll in Hanoi. It was the first time he had seen such a large gathering of people wearing Vietnamese traditional costumes. Initially, he stopped and took photos out of curiosity, but soon he learned from his Vietnamese friends that these were traditional costumes. Daniel said, “I was fascinated by these costumes. I love Vietnam’s ao dai.”
Pham Thi Hien, a 76-year-old Hanoi resident, donned an ao dai for the Hanoi Tourism Ao Dai Festival 2023. She praised the young people for their efforts in studying and reviving traditional costumes. As a proud Hanoian, she always wears ao dai for all festivals.
The event attracted the attention of international visitors in Hanoi, who were captivated by the variety of Vietnamese traditional costumes on display.

The NFT market has been in turmoil since the launch of a Bored Apes Yacht Club-inspired game. Hoping to turn a profit, speculators fight to gain exclusive access to the game before it’s too late.
Bored Monkey Yacht Club is one of the collections of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) the most popular on the market. Based on the Ethereum blockchain, it is made up of 10,000 monkey faces. Launched in early 2021, it has largely participated in the explosion of the NFT market, in particular thanks to the interest shown by several personalities, including Eminem.
To navigate the success of the collection, The Yuga laboratories, the start-up behind the project, has launched several initiatives aimed at expanding the ecosystem around its digital monkeys. The firm then issued its own cryptocurrency, the BeeCoinand revealed its metaverse, other side. In the cards there is also a film project, produced by the Coinbase exchange.
Despite the collapse of the NFT marketYuga Labs just launched an online game, Dookey Dash. In summary, this offers internet users to scour the sewers for magical monkey droppings. The more magical fragments you collect, the more points you earn. Mirroring the Otherside metaverse, the game continues to enrich the fictional world surrounding the collection’s NFTs.
A box on OpenSea
Not surprisingly, access to the game is limited to owners of an NFT from the Bored Apes Yacht Club and Mutant Ape Yacht Club collections. Only owners of a digital monkey can get a sewer passage, an NFT made available from 19 January. Offers access to the game for a limited time until February 8th. Concretely, users need to connect their digital wallet to launch the game online. If the wallet does not contain a Sewer Pass, Dookey Dash will not launch.
Of course, some Sewer Pass holders have been quick to resell their unique NFT on the exchange. Shortly after the NFT was released, there were a plethora of exclusive logins offered for sale on OpenSea, the market leader in the sector. There are over 22,000 sewer passages consulting the OpenSea search engine.
The price of access has increased significantly since its arrival on the Ethereum blockchain. As of this writing, access is offered at the base price of 1.88 ether, or about 2,800 euros. After a burst to the upside, the price stabilized over the weekend. Despite the limited duration of access, the volume of transactions exceeded 25,000 million euros in just a few days. Some investors have paid almost 10,000 euros to buy a Sewage Pass.
The inevitable speculation
Investors don’t rush into NFTs for the love of games. By getting their hands on a login, they try to do it speculate on the price increase digital goods signed by Yuga Labs. Indeed, the holder of a Sewer Pass gets the right to issue a mysterious new NFT dated February 15th.
Depending on the scores recorded in the game, the player will receive a different NFT. The individual who achieves the best performance will be rewarded with an exclusive token. Speculators are hoping that this mysterious non-fungible token will increase in value over time. That’s why they are fighting for access to Dookey Dash. To increase their scores, players are encouraged to spend their ApeCoins on purchases performance enhancersand maximize their chances of winning.
Investors also expect NFTs generated on February 15 to feature prominently in the Otherside metaverse. Likewise, shards collected in the sewers will be useful in other online minigames, says Yuga Labs to attract players… and punters.

And I walked my "last Monday"walk ...
towards the end of this year !!
..just breathing in and out..
there was a lot of love in the air..
“I am never alone wherever I am. The air itself supplies me with a century of love. When I breathe in, I am breathing in the laughter, tears, victories, passions, thoughts, memories, existence, joys, moments, and the hues of the sunlight on many tones of skin; I am breathing in the same air that was exhaled by many before me. The air that bore them life. And so how can I ever say that I am alone?”

Aristocrat Technologies, Inc., with its headquarters in Australia, has been creating casino games in the gaming industry for decades. Aristocrat has created this visually basic online game based on the land-based casino version.
Based on an Aztec theme, Aristocrat software offers images and symbols from Mayan civilization with a seemingly somewhat dated design. Sun and Moon slot game has been created around the Mayan cultural belief that the sun and moon will join each other to guarantee humanity’s prosperity. The Mayan theme, while not original, is distinctly attractive with its bright sunlight and iridescent moonlight casting their good fortune onto players through a blue and gold colour scheme coupled with old-school graphics.
This Mayan Sun and Moon online slot masterpiece will take you on a journey to Mesoamerican jungles in search of pyramids. Aristocrat software made this classic online Sun and Moon slot machine delightful through the use of the scatter and wild symbols which are known to be highly beneficial.
Make a Bet in Sun and Moon Slots
Players can choose from one to twenty paylines to bet on. After you have chosen the number of paylines, you have to choose your bet per line. You can start your bet at 0.05 per payline and up to 1.00. Bets can be increased to 5.00 per line, meaning that the maximum bet for all the lines is worth 100.00 coins.
Press the play button, or you can choose to set automatic spins up to 25 times as there is an autoplay feature incorporated. If you get two or three identical symbols on an active play line from left to right, you win!
Indulge in Sun and Moon Slot Game
The dated design with the temple, mountains, and stars may not be for everyone’s taste. The game offers a five-reel design and three rows as well as Mayan symbols to play with. South American themes do tend to run rampant in slot designs, however, Aristocrat gets the job done nicely in that regard. There is a generous array of symbols used with emphasis on these celestial bodies golden and silver ones):
The golden one awards a wild card or 1,000 coins.
The silver one awards a wild card or 1,000 coins.
The golden and silver celestial bodies offer 500 coins.
The scatter awards 50x your bet.
These principal symbols are joined by other Mayan inspired symbols in the Sun and Moon slot machine such as:
A pyramid, which is a bonus
A Mayan idol bringing 300 coins
A snake bracelet bringing 200 coins
A medal bringing 200 coins
A gold jewel bringing 150 coins
Ace, King, and Queen each bringing 120 coins
Jack, 10 and 9 each bringing 100 coins.
Exciting Features of Sun & Moon Slot Machine to Avail
Read this to learn more about the special features provided.
Mayan Temple. It also features a Mayan temple special symbol, which can be found only on the second reel. Randomly, this symbol will mutate into another symbol boosting your chances of landing a winning combination.
Wild and Scatter. Since the sun and moon act as wilds, they can help land a winning combination and get bonuses. The Sun and Moon slots bonuses offered include free spins and the jackpot. If at least two wilds land on the reels from left to right, you will receive free spins. Depending on the number of wild symbols present, you can win 5, 10, 20 or even 50 free spins for 2, 3, 4, or 5 such icons, and the payouts are doubled in the free spins round.

Winchester Third Model 1873 Musket manufactured circa 1903. The musket has the distinctive 30 inch barrel with full-length forearm, three barrel bands, block front sight base that serves as a lug for a socket bayonet, military style folding leaf rear sight and carbine buttplate. Sling swivels are mounted on the middle barrel band and the stock. The frame has the Third Model integral dust cover rail and dust cover with serrated edges. The buttplate has a sliding brass trapdoor. The barrel, magazine, barrel bands and frame have the Winchester commercial blue finish. The hammer, loading lever and buttplate are color casehardened. The oil-finished stock and forearm are straight grain American walnut. The top of the barrel is roll-stamped with the two-line legend "WINCHESTER'S REPEATING ARMS. NEW HAVEN. CT./KING'S IMPROVEMENT PATENTED MARCH 29. 1866. OCTOBER 16. 1860." between the lower barrel band and the rear sight. The caliber "44 W.C.F" is roll-stamped on the top of the barrel at the breech. "44 Cal." is roll-stamped in script letters on the bottom of the brass cartridge elevator. "-MODEL 1873-" is roll-stamped on the upper tang in fancy letters with foliate devices at either end. The serial number "570079B" is stamped in script numerals on the lower tang between the lever latch and the upper tang screw. The musket has the original jointed steel cleaning rod in the butt trap. This musket is one of approximately 700 Model 1873 Muskets shipped to Nicaragua in September 1903. Some of these muskets were apparently never uncrated. During the 1950s these muskets were discovered in the original crates in un-issued condition and were returned to the United States for resale.
Excellent. The musket is all original, apparently not issued and shows only very limited storage wear. Finish wear is limited to some scattered and very small spots of discoloration on the barrel in front of the upper band and several very minor spots of pitting or discoloration on the receiver and dust cover. The blue components retain nearly 98% of the original finish. The hammer, trigger, lever and lever latch have close to 100% of the original finish with strong case colors. Nearly all of the case colors remain on the buttplate. The stock and forearm are in excellent condition and retain nearly all of the original finish. Wear is limited to a few very minor storage marks on the forearm and right side of the stock and some very faint rub marks on the left side of the stock near the buttplate. This is an excellent example of a Winchester Model 1873 Musket in un-issued condition.

Moving from San Francisco to the Oakland-Berkeley borderlands (with an interlude in Rio de Janeiro) has brought a few challenges of acclimation, like getting lost in Oakland every other time I try to find the Grand Lake movie theater or a frozen yogurt place close to the Oakland Museum. But my food procurement routine has presented some reassuring continuities. I continue to find a wide selection of produce and bulk foods at Berkeley Bowl, my Rainbow Grocery substitute, while the South Berkeley Farmers' Market presents some old favorites (Dirty Girl, Blossom Bluff, Blue Bottle coffee) alongside some new friends. Full Belly and Riverdog are two farms I've known about for a long time but that don't make their way into San Francisco, so I'm excited to start sampling their produce on a regular basis. Riverdog seemed to have an especially broad selection of cute vegetables last Tuesday, including some of those pictured above.
L-R, they are Armenian cucumber, an albino eggplant, a summer squash that looks as though it were hand-dipped in grassy hues, tiny radicchio, Chinese (or Japanese) eggplant, a fist-sized cauliflower, stripey eggplant (not sure what variety), French breakfast radishes right out of a children's picture book or the Chez Panisse Vegetables book, and pale lemon cucumbers, which turned out to be surprisingly sweet for cucumbers. They are mainly from Riverdog Farm, with a couple cuties from Dirty Girl.
I've been going to the Tuesday afternoon market, which starts at 2pm. This is exciting because I usually can't wake up in time to get the best of the market on Saturday and Sunday mornings, plus getting there at the start of the market also offers sightings of local foodie movers and shakers. As I strolled along with a Weird Veg special agent chef, he pointed out Charlie Hallowell, chef/owner of the most delicious Pizzaiolo and Boot & Shoe Service (where I just ate a delicious nettle pizza on Saturday night), as well as Russell Moore, chef/owner of the much-lauded Camino going about their food shopping. Both are part of the ex-Chez Panisse, local-vegetable-loving mafia, which has been spreading its influence over Berkeley and Oakland for years (Oliveto is another restaurant with Chez Panisse ties that comes to mind, as well as the San Francisco restaurants Quince and its spin-off Cotogna. I wish someone would compile a list of this mafia and their restaurants, or send me a link to where one already exists).
As I hovered over some Riverdog lemon cucumbers, a broad-shouldered, salt-and-pepper mustachioed man passed by me and I had a feeling of déjà-vu that threatened to linger as an unbearably unscratchable itch. Where had I seen him before? "Pal's Take Away," my agent said in a low voice at my side. Ahhhh, yes, one of the masterminds behind my favorite secret sandwich shop in the Mission, where I used to live in San Francisco. Suddenly, it didn't seem that I had moved so far away.

Stopping the selling of their homes
Peter Barclae, the Oakland County developer not only refused to make good on his promises, but also tried relentlessly to evict them. He claimed all their payments were for renting. But after he got a Singapore-based company, Midas, to start selling their homes, 40-plus people braved the pouring rain to protest at Midas’ office in Pontiac.
Channel 2 and other media showed up as the group provided Midas evidence of Barclae’s illegal bait-and-switch. Within hours, Midas had removed all the homes from its listings.
Confronting Mayor Duggan at a District 5 Detroit meeting
On September 25, at a District 5 Detroit meeting, a group wearing new T-shirts showing their support for Gratoit -McDougall families got Mayor Duggan’s attention in their crusade to stop the unjust evictions.Detroit had given taxpayer money to Peter Barclae, a failed developer from West Bloomfield, to build affordable homes in the Gratiot McDougall area.
Confronting Mayor Duggan.
The Mayor agreed they got a “raw deal” and says he’ll do whatever is in his power to help them get justice.
Barclae ploys foiled in Court
Barclae kept insisting the $40,000 – $70,000 he’s collected from these homebuyers was only “rent” and they were “tenants.” The homeowners sued to stop this arrogant breach of contract, enforce their right to buy the homes, and save their neighborhood from the blight that will follow if they are evicted.
Supporters joined them at a June 20 hearing where the Judge was so surprised by Barclae’s marketing of homes in dispute that she delayed the company’s demand for escrow.
Subsequently, on July 25 and Sept. 5 the families fought back against bogus motions to evict them so the developer could sell their homes. Each time supporters were there to back them up. Barclae’s various attempts to evict failed in court.
The happy conclusion
In the end, the Gratiot McDougall families won the right to buy their homes. The determination of the families — and with the support of DED — and their willingness to publicize their stories was key to their success.
