Bulgaria to Announce New Energy Watchdog Head Next Week
The new chair of Bulgaria's State Commission for Energy and Water Regulation will be announced next week, Bulgarian Economy and Energy Minister Delyan Dobrev stated Wednesday.
Dobrev told reporters that it was still unclear whether the new energy watchdog head would be a member of the current Commission, a lawmaker with the ruling centrist-right GERB party or somebody else.
The former chairman of the Commission, Angel Semerdzhiev, confirmed Tuesday that he had submitted his resignation.
On Monday, Bulgarian Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov, announced he would be proposing to the Cabinet to dismiss Semerdzhiev.
In a press release, the Council of Ministers explained the dismissal is connected with the delay and lack of a number of administrative acts from the Electricity and Gas Directives, requested by the European Commission.
Delyan Dobrev blamed the State Commission for Energy and Water Regulation for the EC case against Bulgaria.

It’s no surprise, you’ll be able to find the best airline ticket deals for both domestic and international flights to Belgium when you travel on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
- Try to learn ahead of time what you are able bring on your flights when ever flying from any airports in Belgium. Usually, you will not be able to bring the following on flights from the Belgian airports: flammable goods, explosives, firearms and certain sharp items inside your carry-on bag. Due to this fact, make sure you contact the airport in Belgium to confirm the latest list of banned items ahead of packing.
- When leaving from Belgium or taking a flight to another city within Belgium, arrive early to the airports in Belgium. For anyone who is taking a flight locally within Belgium, it is recommended to be at the airport at least 60 to 90 minutes ahead of your scheduled flight departure time and give yourself more time when you’re taking in travel luggage. Seek advice from airport authorities in Belgium and your airlines if they advocate even earlier airport arrival times, a couple of hours or more, particularly for international flights from Belgium.

Hero driver saves children from school bus moments before it bursts into flames
A bus driver has been praised for her quick thinking after rushing a group of schoolchildren off her vehicle moments before it burst into flames.
Lindora Richardson was taking the youngsters home from their North Carolina school when she noticed a 'burning smell' and pulled over to check it out.
As she did so, smoke began pouring out from under the dash.
Scroll down for video
Inferno: Flames tear through the bus little more than a minute after the children were ushered to safety by the driver
Lucky escape: A firefighter moves in to tackle the blaze, which broke out as the youngsters were being driven home from their school in North Carolina
Not wanting to take any chances, she ushered the children, aged between five and 10, towards the back of the bus and out of the emergency exit, it was reported on HLN.
Just a minute later, flames had ripped through most of the vehicle as thick, sending thick, black smoke into the air.
Video posted on YouTube shows just how rapidly the fire takes hold before firefighters move in to put it out.
By then the group had made it a safe distance up the road. No one was injured.
Charred shell: The damage to the bus shows just how life-threatening the fire could have been if Lindora Richardson had reacted so quickly
Torched: The pupils were ushered out the emergency exit at the back of the vehicle before the flames engulfed the seats and roof
The incident happened while Richardson was driving the children home from Chantilly Montessori Elementary School in Charlotte on Wednesday afternoon.
School district spokeswoman Tahira Stalberte told HLN: 'We are very proud of her and for her following proper procedures. It could have taken a very different turn had she not done her job correctly.'
Richardson said: 'I do have two kids and I do love children, (and) I love my job.'
She is due to be honoured by the Charlotte Fire Department next week.

As you remember from earlier modules, amino acids are organic chemicals that link together in chains (called poly-peptides) to form proteins. There are about two dozen amino acids in all, and they are all important for human strength, health, and vitality.
Here's an interesting fact: amino acids exist everywhere. They have been found in meteorites which crashed into Earth from outer space, and scientists believe they have discovered evidence of amino acids in a molecular cloud near the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. These amazing building blocks of life exist not only within us--they are spread throughout the universe!
Three amino acids are grouped together under the general term branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). BCAAs are considered essential amino acids because human beings cannot survive unless BCAAs are obtained through diet or supplementation; BCAAs cannot be produced by our bodies.
The three BCAAs are:
You may wonder why these three are viewed as a group. What do they have in common? The answer is that leucine, isoleucine, and valine are chemically unique from their brethren. The molecular structure of BCAAs features a unique branch a single carbon atom bound to more than two other carbon atoms.
BCAA's comprise a large percentage of the essential amino acids in body protein and in our skeletal muscle. On average, approximately one-fifth of our total protein intake is BCAAs.
- Branched Chain Amino Acids are designed to help support protein metabolism in muscle tissue.
- BCAAs can be used for energy in muscle tissue.
- BCAAs are directly involved in protein synthesis at the genetic level.
- BCAAs are the only amino acids metabolized directly in the muscle as opposed to the liver.
- Branched chain amino acids help support muscle nitrogen and a free amino acid pool during exercise.
- BCAAs comprise a large percentage of the amino acid composition of muscle tissue.
The most important feature of the BCAAs is that they are metabolized directly in the muscle. They are the only amino acids not metabolized in the liver. This unique attribute means they can also be used as a source of energy in muscle. For this reason, BCAA supplementation is common among athletes who undergo intense, prolonged exercise.
BCAAs are not only involved in normal protein metabolism; during periods of stress they are required in larger amounts than other amino acids. This may be because they play an important role in slowing protein breakdown and boost protein synthesis at the same time.
Here are some details about the three members of the BCAA team:
- Leucine is necessary for the maintenance of nitrogen balance in adults, and the healthy growth of children and adults. It helps regulate carbohydrate metabolism and regeneration of skin and muscle tissue. Leucine is a nutrient signal which regulates protein synthesis. In skeletal muscle, it stimulates protein synthesis.
- Isoleucine produces various biochemical compounds active in energy production. Like leucine, it helps growth and nitrogen balance, but it also helps form hemoglobin and maintains the body's regular energy metabolism. Importantly, isoleucine is metabolized into muscle tissue, and it is important in protein synthesis.
- Valine is an organic compound which adds to the strength of any proteins with which it combines. Valine is involved with synthesizing glucose in the liver especially during activities without a proper amount of oxygen intake.
Red meat and dairy products generally contain the greatest amounts of dietary BCAAs, although whey protein and egg protein supplements are also good sources.
- Soy flour

The family of the award winning musician, Lira, has released a statement announcing that she has been hospitalised after suffering a stroke.
Lira, born Lerato Molapo, was in Germany for a performance when she suffered a stroke. It has affected her ability to communicate and impacted her speech.
The ‘Feel Good’ singer, who is a world renowned performer and has performed on some of the biggest stages around the globe, is back in South Africa and is being seen to by medical personnel to nurse her back to full health.
In the family’s statement, which was also posted on her social media platforms, the family said Lira will not be able to perform any time soon.
“Her medical team has advised that her journey to recovery will require patience and therefore, it is unlikely that she will be able to perform in the short term. That said, Lira is in good spirits and is surrounded by her loving family and close friends as she journeys towards a full recovery,” the statement reads.
Lira recently performed on fellow musician, JR’s Feel Good Live Sessions. The performance, which took place last month, was a celebration of her impressive catalogue that has lead to her being an acclaimed performer.
In an interview with IOL Entertainment just before the pandemic hit in 2020, she said that she did not see herself leaving South Africa permanently.
“South Africa was my training ground. South Africa affirmed me. South Africa gave me my wings to go and explore my dreams.
“That’s why I will never leave South Africa permanently, but the reason I go out is that I need to show the African child that it is possible. I want to build a nice, viable career, and it’s not necessary to move there, but to have a global career.”
Lira recently partnered with MyMastery, an online platform that offers a unique learning experience, delivered by South African icons who will share insights into their craft and journey to success.
As a master of the art of performance, Lira is set to offer young creatives some valuable and practical tips on how to survive the industry.
“I’ve always been passionate about sharing everything I have learnt in pursuing a creative career because I know what it’s like to have your gift feel like a constant niggle that won’t go away," she said in an interview with IOL Entertainment.
The Molapo family has urged her fans and South Africans, to keep her in their thoughts.
“We thank you all in advance for your prayers, support, kindness and utmost sensitivity and consideration during this very challenging time in her life. Let there be light!”

Kreidezeit Distemper Paint is a traditional chalk and marble based interior paint. It creates a matt finish, is almost odourless and exceptionally breathable.
Distemper paint was the standard choice for interior paint in many parts of Europe until the 1960’s. Due to the wide spread usage of ready-to-use synthetic dispersion paint, distemper paint vanished from the market despite its many advantages. Kreidezeit have managed to preserve this treasure!
You can use it for almost all interior wall construction materials: all plasters, wallpaper, stone, dry wall. But is particularly suited to ceilings because of its evenly cloth-matt look.
Use distemper paint on to stucco plasters, cornices and decorative finishes as it can easily be removed with water. This would prevent the fine detailing from being clogged by many layers of paint which can damage the plaster when removed.
Because of their simple emission-free and odourless ingredients many of Kreidezeit’s range of natural paints are better for people suffering from allergies or chemical sensitivity.
Despite all these advantages there is one disadvantage for some applications: distemper paint is bound weakly and not waterproof – so cannot be over-painted with other types of paint (it need to be washed off).
- 5 kg powder (mix with water).
- Approximately 40 m² per 5 kg paint (Kreidezeit’s best value for money paint).
- Naturally white (no titanium dioxide).
- Highly breathable.
- Can be tinted with all earth and mineral pigments.
- No preservatives.

Aliaa Elmahdy – Is this Egypt’s new direction? Aliaa Elmahdy posted nude pictures of herself on her blog to protest limits on free expression has triggered an uproar in Egypt, drawing condemnations from conservatives and liberals alike.
Some liberals feared that the posting by 20-year-old university student Aliaa Magda Elmahdy would taint them in the eyes of deeply conservative Egyptians ahead of Nov. 28 parliamentary elections in which they are trying to compete with fundamentalist Islamic parties. Nudity is strongly frowned upon in Egyptian society, even as an art form.
Elmahdy’s posting is almost unheard of in a country where most women in the Muslim majority wear the headscarf and even those who don’t rarely wear clothes exposing the arms or legs in public.
Aliaa wrote on her blog that the photographs – which show her standing wearing only stockings – are “screams against a society of violence, racism, sexism, sexual harassment and hypocrisy.” The blog has received 1.5 million hits since she posted the photos earlier this week.
“This hurts the entire secular current in front of those calling themselves the people of virtue,” Sayyed el-Qimni, a prominent self-described secular figure, said referring to Islamists.
The April 6 movement, one of the most prominent liberal activist groups that led the 18-day uprising against Mubarak, issued a statement denying claims by some on the Web that Elmahdy is a member of the group.
The posting prompted furious discussions on Internet social media sites, with pages for and against her put up on Facebook.
One activist, Ahmed Awadallah, praised her in a Tweet, writing, “I’m totally taken back by her bravery.”
Some 100 people liked his comment, while thousands flooded the site with insults. Some denounced Elmahdy as a “prostitute” and “mentally sick” or urged police to arrest her.
Elmahdy and her boyfriend, also a controversial blogger, have challenged Egypt’s social strictures before. Earlier this year, they posted mobile phone video footage of themselves debating with managers of a public park who threw them out for public displays of affection.

“We are pleased to announce the upcoming establishment of a new institute of the United Nations university (UNU) in Bologna, Italy”.
With these words, contained in the joint declaration of all the institutions involved and presented today in the capital of Bologna, theUNU Institute on big data and artificial intelligence for managing human habitat change, the new Institute of the UN University on big data and artificial intelligence for human habitat change management’.
It will arise at technopole of Bologna and will strengthen the vocation and role of Emilia-Romagna as a world center of excellence for research, science, artificial intelligence and big data. The start of activities is expected by mid-2024, and the institute will be attractive for students and teachers from all over the world.
The statement by United Nations UniversityMinistry of Foreign affairs and international cooperation, ministry of university and research, Emilia Romagna region e University of Bologna took place at the headquarters of the Bologna Business School of Villa Guastavillani, on the occasion of the two-day workshop which will end tomorrow Towards a new UNU institute on big data and artificial intelligence for managing human habitat change”, with the participation of experts from all over the world gathered precisely to discuss the objectives and priorities of the new institute, the researches to be activated and the opportunities for talents.
To present the document and to illustrate the project in the press conference were Tshilidzi Marwalachancellor of the United Nations University, Anna Maria BerniniMinister of University and Research, Stefano Bonaccinipresident of the Emilia-Romagna Region e John Molari, rector of the University of Bologna. Also present were the regional councilors for Schools, universities, research, digital agendas, Paola Salomoniand to economic development and green economy, work, training and international relations Vincenzo Collabeyond Matthew Leporemayor of Bologna.
A video message was sent by Mary TripodiUndersecretary of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.
The institution, as stated in the same statement, “will exploit the use of digital technologies at the forefront to help solve pressing global challenges and promote greater international collaboration. And it is no coincidence that it will arise in Emilia-Romagna: it was in fact the Region that, together with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, put forward this proposal in December 2020, accepted and ratified in the 78th session of the United Nations University Council, at the end of 2022, then officially communicated in a letter to President Bonaccini by the then UNU rector David M. Malone. A green light that concluded with a positive opinion the technical investigation launched on the project of the Region, defined together with the University of Bologna and presented by the Farnesina on behalf of Emilia-Romagna: the proposal, detailed and praised by the Unu Council, took into account examination of all the elements necessary for the realization of the ambitious project, from the vision to the objectives, from the expected results to the organization strategy and implementation, from the types of activities to the budget, up to the evaluation and reporting.
The choice of Bologna as the institute’s host city it is “voluntary and strategic: the region’s thriving innovation ecosystem, access to distinguished researchers, supercomputing facilities and cloud infrastructure provide an ideal environment for the Institute to operate; dynamic synergies with local institutions, industry partners and the community will amplify the Institute’s impact and influence”. To underline it, the same document.
Economic investment and partnership
To transform the idea into reality, in addition to the fruitful technical and institutional collaboration on the part of all the subjects involved, also the economic investment of the State and the Emilia-Romagna Region: the Italian government is committed to allocate, subject to parliamentary ratification of the agreement for the host institution, $40 million for the endowment fund UNU, to ensure the long-term sustainability of the Institute and facilitate future initiatives, as well as an annual contribution shared with the Region of 2.5 million euros during the first decade of the institution’s activity.
The Region has already allocated the necessary resources to guarantee the start-up of the structure and its management for the next few years: 5 million euros for the three-year period 2023 – 2025, together with 6 million in addition to the 40 million allocated by the ministry to implement the complex of the F2 building, future home – already under construction – of the new institute of the UN University at theformer tobacco factory where the technopole arose.
Naturally confirmed the commitment by theUniversity of BolognaOf cinecaof the regional universities and of the Region, to guarantee an authoritative and functional site right in the heart of the technopole, where the data center of the European Weather Center for medium-term forecasts and the European supercomputer Leonardo: infrastructure managed by cineca which offers unprecedented computing power in our country – 80% of the Italian one and over 20% of the European one – and which is at the service of the territory, of Italy and of the European Union.
Not only that, because the University of Bologna will host the Decade collaborative center-DCC coastal resilience the United Nations Center for Coastal Resilience to Climate Change, funded by the Region with 2 million euros.
Together with the United Nations Center for Coastal Resilience to Climate Change, which will be housed in the Manifattura technopole starting from 2024, the Bologna infrastructure is therefore a candidate to become a global study and research engine on climate change, in perfect harmony with the provisions of the Pact for work and the climate.
The role of the Institute
The new UNU Institute, which will have the University of Bologna as its institutional partner and will operate in the academic context which includes all the universities based in Emilia-Romagna – the University of Ferrara, Modena and Reggio Emilia, Parma, the Cattolica of Piacenza and the Polytechnic of Milan – will also be able to count on the support of the Center for Sustainable Heritage Conservation (SHeC) of the University for Foreigners of Perugia and of the Network of UNESCO Chairs in the Mediterranean.
It will use supercomputing, big data and artificial intelligence to study changes in the human habitat induced by climate change, with specific attention to complex problems of the Global South and to the social, economic and cultural transformations that are taking place as a consequence of a series of factors such as urbanisation, international and internal migrations, social and economic challenges and opportunities generated by technological innovation. Complex dynamics, which correspond to many of the objectives of‘Agenda Him 2030 for sustainable development and which assume a particular interest if they refer to the Mediterranean area, which constitutes a unique environmental system on a global level, due to its geographical characteristics, its natural environment, its societies and its cultures.
Central to the new UN University will be the development of innovative, intersectoral and transdisciplinary research and higher education activities from a dual perspective. The first concerns the need to anticipate the consequences of climate change on human societies and communities in all its physical, socio-economic, cultural and health aspects. The second calls into question the role that new technologies, in particular high performance computing (HPC) can play in understanding and evaluating complex global problems, thanks to powerful simulations and analysis of large amounts of data.

World Outside My Shoes, Spokane, Washington, U.S.A.
World Outside My Shoes came into existence as a result of continuing requests for Carl Wilkens to speak at schools, community events, educator workshops, and other professional groups across the country about his experiences in Rwanda during the genocide. From these experiences he is able to move into sharing life principles that impact relationships and opportunities that we encounter every day. In January 2008 Carl left his job working with high school students for the past 11 years in order to respond full time to these invitations. He soon saw the need to establish a structure that could both facilitate these speaking events while also providing a channel for support from those who share the vision of World Outside My Shoes.

Gov. Mark Dayton vetoed the remaining nine budget bills passed by Republican lawmakers and said a government shutdown is likely unless they agree to a budget plan that includes new revenues.
In a press conference, Dayton called the Republicans’ budget plan “harsh and unfair,” and said he would call legislators back for a special session after he and legislative leaders worked out a compromise to fund state government for the next two years.
“I am returning this and the other budget bills to you with the hope that you will choose to work with me, to find a fair, responsible, and balanced solution,” he wrote in a statement.
Legislators adjourned late last night without a deal on the budget. Last week, Dayton called for a $1.8 billion tax increase on the top 2 percent of income earners in the state, saying it represented a middle ground between the Republicans’ budget and the $3.4 billion tax increase he proposed in February.
Republican leaders are touring the state to shore up support for their budget plan, which does not include any new taxes. They argue their plan supports economic growth in the state. But Dayton said their plan, which includes funding cuts for many state programs, would harm middle-class Minnesotans.
The governor blamed an “extreme right-wing” faction of Republican lawmakers for undermining budget negotiations. He said Republican leaders are being held captive by a number of “intransigent” freshman lawmakers who refuse to budge on the issue of new revenues.
Dayton said he would prefer to negotiate a budget agreement with legislative leaders before calling them back for a special session. If they do not enact a new budget by July 1, many agencies would likely be forced to shut down operations.
The governor said he believes there is a “strong likelihood” of a government shutdown, and he planned to meet with Minnesota Management & Budget Commissioner Jim Schowalter to discuss the potential impacts.
The official veto messages for all eight budget bills and the omnibus tax bill can be found below:
- Education finance (HF934*/ SF1030/CH42)
- Environment, energy and natural resources finance (HF1010*/ SF1003/CH46)
- Health and human services finance (HF927/ SF760*/CH41)
- Higher education finance (HF1101*/ SF924/CH50)
- Jobs and economic development finance (HF1049/ SF887*/CH39)
- Public safety and judiciary finance (HF440/ SF958*/CH37)
- State government, military affairs and veterans finance (HF577/ SF1047*/CH40)
- Transportation finance (HF1140*/ SF898/CH49)
- Taxes (HF42*/ SF27/CH38)

Dallas Bookstore Gets People to Read Literature by Turning It Into Clickbait
A bookstore in Dallas, Texas has finally found an excusable use for clickbait. As Adweek reports, Wild Detectives is posting headlines to their Facebook page that spin classic works of literature as trashy viral content. When followers click the links, they’re led to full texts of public domain pieces posted on Medium.
Dubbed Litbaits, the campaign uses the questionable strategy for a worthwhile purpose. Posts include the headlines "British guy dies after selfie gone wrong" for The Picture of Dorian Grey, "When it’s OKAY to slut shame single mothers" for The Scarlett Letter, and "You’ll never guess what happened to this Kansas teen after tornado destroys her home" for The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
Wild Detectives launched the initiative on National Read a Book Day on September 6. As the below video shows, the results were impressive: Their Facebook page saw a 150 percent boost in engagement and a 14,000 percent traffic jump. The allure of clickbait is powerful, but this is one case where the temptation to click pays off.

Depression is a mental illness defined by persistent feelings of sadness and loss of interest in usual activities. The symptoms associated with this mood disorder interfere with the ability to work, sleep, eat, or enjoy what used to be pleasurable. Having major depression can be extremely disabling and prevent a person from engaging in normal day-to-day functions. While some individuals may only experience a single episode within their lifetime, it is common for others to experience multiple episodes. Dysthymia is a form of depressive disorder that lasts at least two years. Although the symptoms of dysthymia may not be severe enough to disable a person, they can still cause an individual to have trouble functioning normally. Minor depression is diagnosed when an individual has symptoms for at least two weeks, but they are not severe enough to meet the criteria for major depression. However, men and women with minor depression should still receive treatment because they are at high risk for developing major depressive disorder. Depression is more than just a bout of the blues - it's not something you can simply snap out of. This disorder requires long term treatment for recovery.

ANR approaches opioid dependency based on the pathophysiology and neuropharmacology vis-à-vis normal brain function and examines the interaction and relationship that would normally exist prior to the neuroadaptation and alteration that has now ensued from nervous system exposure to opioids. Individuals who develop an opioid dependency through the use of exogenous opioids suppress natural endorphin production while simultaneously inducing the nervous system to increase the number of active endorphin/opioid receptors. With increasing use and abuse, this develops into a vicious self-perpetuating cycle. As more and more receptors are induced, the individual requires greater and greater amounts of opioids/narcotics to quench their neuro-biochemical demand.

Jon Stewart crashed the final episode of The Nightly Show to bid farewell to Larry Wilmore and praise the host for his contributions to late-night television. “A very wise man said to me, ‘Do not confuse cancellation with failure.’ What you, my friend, were tasked to do, you have done and done beautifully,” Stewart said.
“You gave voice to underserved voices in the media arena, and you did it,” Stewart told the Daily Show‘s former “Senior Black Correspondent.” “It was a show that was raw and poignant and funny and smart and all those things.”
On Monday, Comedy Central announced that Thursday would mark the final episode of The Nightly Show after a 20-month run in the post-Daily Show spot formerly occupied by The Colbert Report. In explaining the abrupt cancellation, Comedy Central president Kent Alterman remarked that The Nightly Show “hasn’t connected with our audience in ways that we need it to,” a remark that Stewart took umbrage with Thursday night.
“Did you resonate with an audience? I would say not only that, but in an important way, in a way that you don’t realize yet and won’t reveal itself for years to come, and it’s this: You started a conversation that was not on television when you began,” Stewart said.
“And you worked with a group of people who you invited to that conversation to collaborate with you, to sharpen that conversation, and what you don’t realize is, you walk out of this room, and that conversation doesn’t end,” he added. “And all the people that you worked with are gonna take what they learned here and what they learned from you and the beautiful experience that they had, and you’re going to start seeing them doing things in the business as well… you’re going to watch that flourish, and that’s gonna have you on it.”

The first step in learning how to grow basil indoors is to purchase a plant and place it in the sunniest window in the house. This is the south-facing window of your house. If you have bought a plant at a store, it may be shriveled or wilted, but you can reseed it and give it a new life by placing it in a sunny window for a week. After this, the basil will perk up and begin to produce leaves.
Watering your plant should take place on a weekly basis when the top inch of soil is dry. During the spring and summer months, basil plants will require more watering. When the weather gets warmer, you can add mulch to keep the soil moist and prolong the time between waterings. If you do not want to grow basil in a pot, you can purchase a basil plant that will grow nicely without any help from you.
In order to ensure that your plant has sufficient water, make sure you place it on a tray filled with wet pebbles. A good way to ensure the moisture level in your plant is 40%. When the temperature drops below 50 degrees Fahrenheit at night, you should move it inside. It will still need water, so make sure you don’t allow the soil to dry out completely. But before you do that, you should take some basic precautions.
Start by placing the seeds in a 70-degree window. It should sprout within a week, depending on the temperature of your house. You may also want to keep an extra light bulb handy. This is because your basil seedlings can go without light for a week. So, be prepared to replace your plants with fresh ones once they sprout. Then, water them daily and watch your basil flourish! You can enjoy your fresh, aromatic, and tasty herbs in no time!
The most important thing to remember while growing basil indoors is to keep them well-watered. They need water for proper growth. It’s better to keep extra water in their saucers than to leave them in a water-logged one. Changing the water is essential, so make sure your basil plants get enough light. When you change the water every two weeks, it will thrive. The humidity level is a crucial factor for the growth of your plants, but do not overdo it.
Unlike its outdoor counterpart, basil is best grown indoors. If you live in a hot climate, you can plant a basil indoors. You can purchase seedlings at a garden center or start a basil plant indoors. It is best to plant the plant outdoors when the temperature is around 70 degrees F. While it is possible to grow basil indoors in a hot climate, it is best to consider the climate of your area before planting.
When growing basil indoors, you should select a pot that contains drainage holes and an accompanying drainage plate. This will prevent the soil from becoming too saturated and protect the surface of the pot. When you’re planting seeds, you should make sure that the growing medium is moist enough to keep your basil plant healthy. You can also keep the soil damp with organic fertilizer if you don’t want it to taste bad.
It is best to place your basil seeds in a room that stays at 70 degrees. The plants should be watered every few weeks to stay alive and healthy. You can plant as many seeds as you need, and the resulting plants will be worth the effort. However, make sure to check the soil thoroughly before watering. You’ll notice that the soil tends to dry out faster than an in-ground garden.
When you’re growing basil indoors, you should make sure the soil is moist enough to support the plant. A good potting mix is essential. It’s a good idea to buy soil that has adequate drainage. Then, you can add a drainage plate to the pot. This will prevent the soil from becoming too saturated and will protect the surface of the pot. After that, you can start experimenting with the amount of light.

text: Mimivirus, a virus infecting amoebae of the acanthamoeba genus, is the prototype member of the Mimiviridae, the latest addition to the family of the nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses, already including the Poxviridae, the Iridoviridae, the Asfarviridae, and the Phycodnaviridae. Because of the size of its particle-a fiber-covered icosahedral protein capsid 0.75 microm in diameter-Mimivirus was initially mistaken for a parasitic bacterium. Its 1.2-Mb genome sequence encodes more than 900 proteins, many of them associated with functions never before encountered in a virus, such as four aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. These findings revived the debate about the origin of DNA viruses and their possible role in the emergence of the eukaryotic nucleus. The recent isolation of a new type of satellite virus, called a virophage, associated with a second strain of Mimivirus, confirmed its unique position within the virus world. Post-genomic studies are now in progress, slowly shedding some light on the physiology of the most complex virus isolated to date.

More John Wick films are on the horizon as movie studio says they’re not ready to say goodbye yet
| Last updated
Looks like we won’t be saying sayonara to John Wick anytime soon, with more films rumoured on the horizon.
While many believe that Keanu Reeves gracing the screen as the world’s favourite hitman for a fourth time will be the last, Lionsgate isn’t ready to say goodbye to the franchise just yet.
Joe Drake, the company’s group chair, was so thrilled that the fourth Wick had made $137 million (AUD $205 million) in its opening weekend that he couldn’t fathom letting go of that cash cow.
“We’re not ready to say goodbye to Keanu with this franchise,” he told Deadline.
He added he and his team are already developing an ‘alternative’.
“There’s a lot of different things that we can do," Drake said.
However, aside from the movie making millions, the company boss noted he could see why audiences love the flick, as he too, has already seen it five times.
Chapter 4 has scored an impressive 95 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes after more than 200 reviews, making it the highest-rated film in the franchise.
While the first John Wick film earned 86 per cent, the second and third films scored 89 per cent.
Still, the franchise has proved it's ageing better than a bottle of Shiraz as critics are loving the fourth instalment.
Some have even called it the ‘greatest action flick of all time’.
Reviewer Ed Travis from Cinapse upped the ante on the 'greatest action movie claim', calling John Wick: Chapter 4 ‘simply one of the greatest action films of this generation, and perhaps of all time'.
I mean, that’s hard to beat.
**Spoiler alert incoming**
But Uproxx reported that when director Chad Stahelski revealed to Lionsgate he wanted to kill off the titular character in the fourth instalment, they refuted the idea.
“The response was, ‘What are you f**king thinking?’ The note was, ‘Are you f**king insane?’” Stahelski said, as per the outlet.
“And Keanu and I just smiled and said, ‘Yeah'. We decided we wanted to tie everything together, and we were like, ‘How do you give a proper goodbye?’
"So that’s how we sold it to the studio because, at some point, this has gotta end, man.”
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Reeves always wanted to set the character ‘free’ before agreeing to do another movie.
At the South by Southwest Film & TV Festival, he said: “It can’t just be, ‘Let’s do another one'. It was really about death, or a way of dying. We were really inspired by the Hagakure.”
The Hagakure, Stahelski noted, is a Japanese code of ethics for samurais.
The novel, Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai is a guide to ‘foster the true spirit of Bushido-the Way of the Warrior’.

Hexahydrocannabinol, or HHC, is the psychoactive compound found in cannabis that is responsible for the “high” feeling associated with marijuana use. HHC interacts with cannabinoid receptors in the brain, which alters mood, perception, and cognition. In this blog post, we will discuss the science behind HHC and how it affects us. We will also look at some of the potential benefits and risks of using HHC.
What is HHC?
Hexahydrocannabinol, or HHC, is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis. It’s what gives users the “high” feeling associated with marijuana use. HHC works by binding to cannabinoid receptors in the brain and causing changes in nerve activity.
Cannabinoid receptors are found in various areas of the brain and are involved in a variety of different functions, including memory, movement, pain perception, and appetite. When HHC binds to these receptors, it alters their normal function and can result in changes in mood, consciousness, and perception.
HHC is just one of many compounds found in cannabis plants. Other well-known cannabinoids include cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabivarin (HHCV). CBD is non-psychoactive and is thought to have a number of potential therapeutic benefits. HHCV, on the other hand, is a psychoactive compound that can actually counteract some of the effects of HHC.
The amount of HHC in cannabis can vary widely depending on the particular strain. Cannabis plants with higher levels of HHC are typically more potent and produce stronger effects.
Effects of HHC on the body when consumed
Hexahydrocannabinol psychoactive compound in cannabis. It’s what gives marijuana its signature “high.” HHC binds to cannabinoid receptors throughout the brain and body, causing a variety of different effects.
HHC activates the endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in many physiological processes including pain, appetite, memory, and mood. The exact mechanisms by which HHC produces its various effects are still being studied, but we do know that it binds to cannabinoid receptors in the brain and alters neurotransmitter release. This can lead to changes in perception, mood, and behavior.
In high doses, HHC can cause anxiety and paranoia. It can also impair short-term memory and judgment. HHC can be addictive, and regular use can lead to tolerance and dependence.
While HHC is the best-known cannabinoid, it’s just one of many that are found in cannabis. Other cannabinoids include CBD, CBN, and CBC. Each of these compounds interacts with the endocannabinoid system in different ways, producing different effects.
Cannabis research is still in its early stages, and there is a lot that we don’t know about the plant and its effects on the human body. However, as our understanding of cannabis grows, so does our ability to harness its potential therapeutic benefits. If you’re curious about trying cannabis for yourself, be sure to talk to your doctor first and do your research to find a safe and reputable source.
In the end
Hexahydrocannabinol is a chemical compound that is found in the Cannabis plant. This compound is responsible for the psychoactive effects that are associated with marijuana use. HHC binds to cannabinoid receptors in the brain and produces a variety of different effects, including euphoria, altered states of consciousness, and changes in perception. The exact mechanisms by which HHC produces these effects are still not fully understood.

AMA Pro Racing’s Team Hammer has released Martin Cardenas from his contract to allow the reigning AMA Daytona Sportbike Champion “to better pursue his goal of returning to World Championship competition as soon as possible.” Though the eventual goal appears to be for Cardenas to move up to the World Superbike Championship, rumors have Cardenas landing with the Yoshimura Suzuki factory team to race in the AMA Superbike Championship in 2013 as an eventual stepping stone towards international racing. Cardenas won the 2010 and 2012 AMA Daytona Sportbike championships with Team Hammer riding a Suzuki GSX-R600. Team Hammer held a contract option for Cardenas for the 2013 season but decided to release the Colombian racer, allowing him to take a different route towards a WSBK career.Tue, 16 Aug 2011 00:00:00 -0700

Jimmy Butler is going to keep hearing comparisons to Michael Jordan if the wingman continues playing like this.
Chicago Bulls‘ Jimmy Butler just had perhaps his finest game ever, and it was understandable that reporters asked him about the inevitable Michael Jordan comparisons after JB’s 40-point second half against the Toronto Raptors. The Bulls needed every single point Butler could give them too, because they barely eked out the 115-113 victory.
The reason MJ was going to be brought up after the game was because Jimmy topped Michael’s former franchise record for points scored (39) in a half. Jordan initially set that record against the Milwaukee Bucks on Feb. 16, 1989.
The truly remarkable thing about this is that Jimmy barely played in the first half after getting elbowed in the face by DeMarre Carroll and needing a stitch to close a cut that was initially bleeding all over the floor. The cut is pictured in the headline photo by the way. Butler, who is signed onto the Jordan brand, doesn’t want the MJ comparisons though.

“Don’t compare me to him,” Butler said to ESPN. “That’s exactly what I said [when I found out]. I don’t want to be compared to him because then people are going to think I got to do what he did. I’m trying. But we’re nowhere near the same player. I’m just happy we won, to tell you the truth. I don’t want to be compared to [Jordan] because you see what he’s done for this game. I’m just happy we got the win. Points or no points, we’re leaving here with the W.”
If you missed Jimmy’s buckets, then do yourself a favor and check them out below. He was working every part of his game from the midrange to the three-point shot.
Head coach Fred Hoiberg was definitely pleased with his wingman’s efforts, and you can almost hear him gushing in the quote below.
“It was an unbelievable performance by Jimmy,” Hoiberg said. “The way they were pressuring us in the first half, we couldn’t get the ball reversed or swung, so we just put the ball in Jimmy’s hands. Either ran isolation plays or had Pau Gasol or Niko Mirotic set a ball screen for him, and he just made play after play. He was unbelievable with the ball in his hands. Hitting fadeaways, hitting shots, that last 3, getting himself to the free throw line. Just a really, really good individual performance.”
The Bulls were able to fight their way back from down 15 points as a result of Jimmy’s brilliance, and he is really backing up his talk about becoming a better leader. It wasn’t in the playbook when he called out Hoiberg for not coaching them hard enough, but Butler just continues evolving as a team player. My favorite part of the highlights above was when his teammates mugged him after the buzzer finally sounded. This is beginning to look like a team that is putting the pieces together. Now, if only they can start doing this on a consistent basis, then we’ll be talking about a contender.

There are a number of different ways to increase worker productivity and ensure that employees are happy and feel appreciated for the work they do. One of the first ways is to set clear goals for each employee, and make him or her feel accountable. In addition, it is also very important to give employees a safe, enjoyable place to work as much as possible; certainly some environments might not be the most pleasant place to work, but safety rules should always be followed. Providing regular feedback, and offering rewards such as bonuses, is another great way to increase worker productivity.
In general, one of the best ways to increase worker productivity is to provide goals and direction to employees, but not to micromanagement. Keeping track of every little detail tends to make employees feel incompetent, and as if they can't be trusted. Conversely, in many cases setting goals and expecting the best from employees will encourage them to rise to those goals. Setting accountability, and within reason making sure an employee understands that it is his or her job to take responsibility for her actions and decisions, can also not just increase worker productivity, but cut down on mistakes.
On a practical level, the workplace should also encourage worker productivity by being safe and technologically advanced enough that workers can get their jobs done. New computers, functioning equipment, or cell phones may all be required investments for employees to be sure that they do not experience technical issues when trying to do their work. Many countries also have labor laws that specify the safety rules and regulations that must be in place in the workplace to ensure employees are not injured at work; making sure these laws are followed is another good way to increase worker productivity.
Employees who feel that they are really heard are also likely to be more productive as well. Regular meetings with management where an employee receives feedback on his or her work, and can ask questions or make suggestions in return, are very important. Giving employees the freedom to be creative and to share their own ideas will make them feel appreciated and increase enjoyment of work, which is directly related to productivity. Rewarding employees for good work with bonuses, promotions, or fun events can also increase feelings of appreciation. Increasing worker productivity can take time, but it is entirely possible with a little effort.
