The county of Humboldt is beginning the process of imposing $900,000 liens on a handful of properties whose owners have not responded to abatement and violation notices connected with cannabis cultivation.
Planning Director John Ford said the county's controversial code enforcement approach — which threatens fines of up to $10,000 a day on properties found out of compliance with the county's cannabis land use ordinance — is proving effective. Ford said the county has thus far used code enforcement to target unpermitted cannabis grows that haven't made any efforts to come into compliance.
"We do continue to identify illegal cultivation sites that aren't within the county permit system, that aren't within the state licensing system," he said. "They are basically producing cannabis that can only be sold in the illicit market."
Ford estimated that the county has sent out more than 600 notices of abatement and violation. Close to 200 of those, Ford said, have been addressed without a fine, with the owner either quickly agreeing to remove the grow entirely or entering into a compliance agreement with the county. Most of the rest, Ford said, have been resolved with a combination of a compliance agreement and a negotiated fine — generally in the neighborhood of $20,000 to $30,000.
From the county's perspective, Ford said, the fines are a consequence of people operating outside the law but the most important thing is addressing the underlying violation, whether it be a simple unpermitted grow or more entrenched grading and timber harvest violations. Property owners who have engaged the county in conversation early in the process have generally fared well, he said.
"The main focus is on resolving the violation," he said.
But that's proven a tremendous challenge with about 10 percent of the property owners, Ford said, who have simply not responded to the county's violation notices. In those cases, Ford said, fines accrue until they reach the maximum of $900,000, an amount that's roughly triple the county's median home value, according to the Humboldt County Economic Index.
"The next step for those is to unfortunately impose a lien against the property," Ford said, adding that the county is currently preparing to take that step in fewer than 10 cases.
Some in the cannabis industry have decried the code enforcement approach, saying the fines are excessive and charging that the county's strategy doesn't seem to target the most egregious violators. Local Attorney Eugene Denson told the Times-Standard in September that the fines constitute "cruel and unusual" punishment and urged growers on the receiving end of the notices to lawyer up and challenge them.
There's a process for that, Ford said. Property owners can appeal a notice of violation or abatement, which then triggers a hearing before an administrative law judge, who hears the case and decides whether the alleged violation exists. (The county had been contracting with McGeorge School of Law to provide judges via video conferencing for the hearings but is now evaluating proposals from three different organizations to take over the contract.)
In each and every case that's been appealed, Ford said the judge has sided with the county.
"We wouldn't take something questionable to the administrative law judge," Ford said. "It's either a violation or it's not. It's either clear or it's not."
Though Ford said he feels the code enforcement system is working, there's clearly plenty of work to do. While law enforcement has estimated there are more than 12,000 large cannabis cultivation sites in Humboldt County, fewer than 2,000 are working toward compliance, meaning some 85 percent are in violation of county codes.
"I think the primary focus right now is to continue to reduce the number of illicit grow sites in Humboldt County," Ford said, adding that doing such will help both the environment and permitted growers.

Transcendentalism is a major romantic movement during the 19th century. It was a period of romance where people learned to love themselves. The poem Self-Reliance, is by Ralph Waldo Emerson. In this excerpt, he emphasizes the traits of being a transcendentalist. The selection Tia Chucha, is by Luis Rodriguez. In the poem, she gossips about her aunt Chucha and her unique personalities. The anecdote Gary Keillor, is by Garrison Keillor. It is about a boy named Gary, who joins a school talent show and encounters many obstacles, both mentally and socially. Transcendentalism is an appealing philosophy because it encourages individuals to rely on themselves, to ignore other’s accusations, and to accept one’s unique place.
During the 1830s, an intellectual movement took place called Transcendentalism. Transcendentalism is the idea that an individual is the center of the universe and is more powerful than any institution. This way of thinking was very new to the people during that time. Even though the movement took place well over one hundred years ago, traits of Transcendentalism are still abundant in society today. For example, the movie Wall-E contains many traits of Transcendentalism.
Throughout life we are told to express our individuality and swim against the stream of the general population to put emphasis on the characteristics that make us, in short, individuals. Cherishing what makes an individual special and different is what establishes roots in creativity and self expression, however there is a forced false sense of comradery in today’s society that takes the form of involvement with the masses; peer pressure forces many people to fall into the mold of an average character. The Academy award winning film, “The Incredibles” displays the themes of expressing one’s true self and special qualities, and in contrast repression by society to fit a basic mold. These themes are elaborated on through the development of the main characters and expressed further through the supporting roles and their dialogue and endeavors.
Transcendentalism is present in today’s culture in ways we do not even notice. It is in our music, television, and movies. These parts of today 's culture show free thought, nonconformity, and the role of nature.
Was Chris McCandless a true transcendentalist? Transcendentalism is a system developed by Immanuel Kant, based on the idea that, in order to understand the nature of reality, one must first examine and analyze the reasoning process that governs the nature of experience. Influenced by romanticism, Platonism, and Kantian philosophy, it taught that divinity pervades all nature and humanity, and its members held progressive views on feminism and communal living. Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau were central figures. In Jon Krakauer’s novel, Into the Wild, McCandless is viewed as a transcendentalist. The characteristics of transcendentalism is individual vs society and the connection between human and nature.
The film Into the Wild is based on the life of Chris McCandless, a young man who rejected the consumerist society of America in order to live a more simple life. Through his travels, Chris carried essays by Transcendentalist philosophers Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau, suggesting that McCandless is impacted by Transcendentalist ideals. Two key tenets of Transcendentalism that clearly influenced McCandless’ choices are the value of simplicity and the importance of self-reliance.
Conformity in Fahrenheit 451 is shown that everyone is the same, while having individualism, you can be unique in your own way. Beatty says otherwise, “We must all be alike. Not everyone born free and equal, as the Constitution says, but everyone made equal. Each man the image of every other; then all are happy, for there are no
Transcendentalism is about life in which nature and the soul connect. In the movie Dead Poet Society, one of the characters who shows transcendentalism in Neil Perry. In the movie the students quoted poems and had their alone time with nature. They also relied on themselves and sought the spiritual side of things. Throughout the movie, Neil went to a cave away from people. Furthermore, Neil’s friends joined him to have fun with the Dead Poets Society, a group Neil recreated after hearing that his professor, Mr. Keating, had been involved in when he was a student at Welton. Overall, Neil Perry was a great example of transcendentalism throughout the entire movie.
“I went into the woods because i wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life.” This meant that you live how you want to live and do whatever you want to be free from conformity in your life. This quote by Henry David Thoreau is what the Dead Poets Society and its members lived by everyday. The transcendentalist members always acted differently and disobeyed many so that they could follow in the footsteps of the original Dead Poets Society. In doing so the characters were punished for not conforming to both the school of Welton and their parents. In the movie many characters showed traits of transcendentalism, for example Neil Perry showed many signs of nonconformity towards his father by not listening to his command to become a doctor. Knox Overstreet showed during the film human potential by trying to believe in himself and trying to get a girl from another school. Finally Todd Anderson who experienced truth through observation by attending the Dead Poets meeting and later by joining the activities the Society does. If you look hard enough in any book,movie, or play you will always find some form of transcendentalism every single time and that will never change.
Everyday in life people come across traits of transcendentalism and don 't even realize it, it can be as easy as looking at the trees or doing something else than what everyone else is doing. These are all examples of transcendentalism and people don 't even realize it. For example my family and I went to San Francisco and went to the Redwoods where respect for nature was so strong because I was amazed at how cool the trees were and how long they have been there. In Dead Poets’ Society there is a group of young men in Mr. Keating’s class who show the traits of transcendentalism under the guide of Mr. Keating. Throughout the movie the boys and Mr. Keating grow closer, and he starts to guid and show the kids how they can live their lives and to follow what their heart desires. Later in the story Neil Perry is the lead for a play even though his father specifically told him not to do it, but Neil listened to Mr. Keating and did the play. When Neil 's father saw him in the play he told him that he was gonna send Neil to military school and take him out of Welton Academy, later that night Neil took his father 's gun and shot himself. The school did a investigation on the death and in the end they said it was Mr. Keatings fault that it happened and
It does not just exist in the movies but in music, television, books, advertising and more. It is all around, but may be unrecognizable. The song, “ Don’t Want to Be”, by Gavin Degraw, exemplifies the transcendental theme of nonconformity. Gavin Degraw's lyrics, “I don’t want to be anything other than me”, illustrates the transcendental theme by showing that you should stay true to who you are(citation). Another example of transcendental thoughts is the movie, Pocahontas. According to Emerson's essay Nature, “In the woods, we return to reason and faith”(citation). Pocahontas has a love for nature and often goes to nature to get away from reality and think. ().The song “The Colors of the Wind”, from Pocahontas, suggest Emerson’s thought that nature is precious. The lyrics from “Colors of the Wind” suggest how Pocahontas values nature: “You think you own whatever land you land on, the Earth is just a dead thing you can claim, but I know every rock and tree and creature, has a life, has a spirit, has a name”. These are just a few of transcendental ideas existing in today's
Transcendentalism is not a word that can be defined. It is a concept brought about by various writers to include Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. The world has dramatically changed since their time period, making it an interesting topic to debate upon what they would think of today’s society. Their opinions on whether they supported current culture would definitely vary, depending on the topic at hand. Customs such as technology, going to school, and going to Mass weekly would spark strong opinions in the minds of people like Emerson and Thoreau, and their thoughts would gather around transcendentalist ideas and principles.
Transcendentalists were a movement of this time that had both its ups and downs. In other words failure and successes. When it comes to reform movements the things most people really care about is the success of it and if it made any real change to people during the time period. Transcendentalism had an effect on people of the time that really started something completely unheard of and misunderstood. What transcendentalists did was take what was known and look far beyond it. Through literature, speeches, and even teaches that took place in classrooms of the time, people were fascinated and curious about what they were spreading and practicing. It was a quite successful movement until more and more time passed and people realized it wasn’t
Transcendentalism is the belief that man is inherently good, is an independent thinker, and goes out into nature to get in touch with himself. Generally, man has good intentions and intends no harm unto others. In addition, man does not need society to give him and develop his thoughts, as he already has them within. To help bring out these already installed beliefs, man has the desire to go out into nature to get in touch with himself and find deeper notions within. In Ralph Waldo Emerson’s writings “Self Reliance” and “American Scholar”, he writes about how being a true individual means that one must have his own beliefs, and not copy someone else’s ideas. In addition, he believes that society is the antagonist, actively working against individuals.
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”- Henry David Thoreau. Transcendentalism is an American philosophy that revolves around self-reliance and independence, commonly in nature, a Transcendentalist wants to find the true meaning in life. I believe that Chris McCandless was a Transcendentalist because he was able to leave his whole life behind and take on a minimalist lifestyle while having a strong relationship with god. However, I believe that I am not a Transcendentalist, but simply an adventurer. I had the opportunity to go to Mexico and visit the Yucatan rainforest and this lead me to be able to explore nature and feel the peaceful impact it can have on someone 's life.

Self-assessment tool helps area families avoid the dangers of caregiver distress
Nearly one-third of adults living in Gaston, Cleveland and Lincoln counties are family caregivers who could be at risk for heart disease, diabetes, depression and various other physical and emotional maladies as a result of caregiver distress, a potentially dangerous condition caused by the pressures of caring for a senior loved one.
The local Home Instead Senior Care office has launched a public awareness campaign – Family Caregiver Stress ReliefSM at FamilyCaregiverStressRelief.com – to help family caregivers determine if they are at risk for distress and to minimize problems before they escalate.
The program includes two new tools: The Are You a Caregiver Quiz, designed to help a family caregiver self-identify and recognize the role of a caregiver, and the Family Caregiver Distress Assessment, adapted for the Home Instead Senior Care network by Dr. Peter Vitaliano of the University of Washington. The assessment allows caregivers to determine their risk for distress and resulting emotional and physical issues, including depression, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity.
“So many spouses and adult children are unaware of their potential risk of caregiver distress because they don’t see themselves as caregivers. These new resources enable them to understand their role, the stresses they may face as a caregiver, and how that stress might lead to more serious health effects,” said Roy Goforth, owner of the local Home Instead Senior Care office in a press release. “It’s important for caregivers to understand that stress can impact one’s ability to care. If they don’t care for themselves, they may put their senior loved ones at risk. Whether it’s support groups, stress management techniques or respite help, caregivers need to realize the importance of managing their health, too.”

The Pouillon family has been growing grapes in the region for over a century, but it wasn’t until 1947 when Fabrice’s grandfather, Roger Pouillon, decided to produce wine from his holdings along with the help of his wife, Bernedette, and his uncle, Louis Baulant, a well-known winemaker and consultant in the region. The estate continued to grow over succeeding decades as grape contracts expired allowing the family terroirs to be reincorporated into the Pouillon estate. James Pouillon, Fabrice’s father, joined the firm in 1964 and modernized the cellar by adding enamel-lined tanks and gyropalletes. Fabrice joined his father in 1998 after finishing degrees in both business and oenology school, and he has taken the winery in an exciting new direction. Working in the grand cru of Aÿ and throughout the Vallée de la Marne and the Montagne de Reims, Fabrice is crafting articulate, expressive, terroir-driven wines that are vibrantly aromatic and intricate on the palate. Fabrice Pouillon is dedicated to the vitality, energy and health of his vineyards. He began the work of conversion to organic viticulture and today he incorporates biodynamic principles into his work including compost management, spraying herbal “teas” treatments. He currently uses only organic compounds for fertilizer, pheromone confusion to ward off pests, cover crops to restore nutrients in the soil and plows alternating rows to keep vine competition and soil aeration consistent despite varied growing conditions. He is also a member of Lutte Raisonnée.

How to Reinstate Your Suspended Drivers License
Suspended drivers licenses cannot typically be fully reinstated online. This option is only available in certain instances, depending on the reason for the suspension. Instead, you must typically request a license reinstatement in person at a local DMV. After your drivers license suspension period ends, you will be required to submit the proper documentation and pay certain applicable fees. To make sure that you are prepared, download our informative online drivers license guide. Our guide contains everything you need to know to reinstate your suspended driving license properly. In it, you will also get step-by-step details on how to complete other important licensing procedures, such as renewing your license, replacing a lost one or updating personal information on your credential. Visit your state’s page to start simplifying your replacement process today:

2. By Mail
Certain states may allow motorists to pay for drivers license reinstatement fees by mail. Additionally, some DMVs may let out-of-state drivers mail in certain documents in order to expedite this process. However, most license suspension reasons (like accumulating too many violations) require drivers to complete the reinstatement process in person. Applicants are most often required to visit a DMV office to verify that they meet reinstatement requirements and to take reinstatement exams, if necessary.
3. In Person at the DMV
To reinstate a suspended drivers license at the DMV, you must submit the proper documentation, and you may need to pass certain tests. Moreover, this procedure can only be done after your license suspension is over. In certain states, you may also be required to obtain additional insurance coverage when reinstating your credential. Then, you will need to pay the applicable fees to reinstate a license. When the time comes, you may not know which forms to complete or if you are already eligible to file this request. To ensure that you do not have to make a second visit to the DMV, it is important to arrive at the office prepared.
Drivers must complete the process of reinstating their drivers licenses prior to operating their vehicle again, since driving with a suspended license is punishable by law across all U.S. states. State Departments of Motor Vehicles (DMVs) issue drivers license suspensions for a wide array of reasons, such as lapse in the driver’s car insurance policy or an excess of negative points on the licensee’s record.
Depending on the state you live in, you may incur a suspension for a different amount of points. For example, in Kentucky, it takes an accumulation of 12 points over the course of 2 years in order to receive a suspension. On the other hand, in Florida, earning 12 points on your license within a year will get your license suspended for 30 days.
Drivers License Suspension and Revocation
Certain state DMVs differentiate between driving license suspensions and revocations, but not all. Motor vehicle operators with suspended drivers licenses can generally reinstate their credentials after satisfying the requirements of the suspension, such as completing a specific penalty period and paying a fine. To reinstate revoked drivers licenses, motorists will be required to wait out their period of revocation and reapply for a new credential afterward.
Drivers License Reinstatement Requirements
The requirements to reinstate driving licenses and the steps to complete the procedure generally vary based on the type of violation that was committed and its corresponding penalty. In addition to the standard steps, penalized drivers may also be required to complete certain requirements specific to their case. Operators whose suspended driving licenses were a result of a Driving Under the Influence (DUI) violation, for instance, may be required to participate in a rehabilitation program that can take a month or more to complete. Additionally, most states will be suspended for a longer period of time every time you are charged with a DUI. More serious DUI infractions may also result in a court-ordered jail sentence.
How do I know my license has been suspended?
Certain motor vehicle divisions will notify the licensee of his or her driving license revocation or suspension with a mail-in notice. The DMV letter contains general information about the driver’s offense, the type of sanction that was issued and how to resolve it. Licensees can obtain their driving record to review the current status of their credential as well.
How long does a driver’s license suspension last?
The duration of the driving license suspension or revocation period varies based on the type of infraction that was committed as well. More serious driving offenses result in longer punishment periods than lesser violations. DUI offenses, for instance, are treated with stricter measures and longer suspension periods. Infractions committed after the conclusion of the suspension will result in even longer penalty periods.
Drivers who continue driving with a suspended or revoked drivers licenses face even stricter penalties. Certain types of suspensions remain in effect until the driver removes the restrictions on his or her credential. For instance, licensees who are required to pay a traffic ticket may remain indefinitely suspended until they do so. Similarly, all drivers must pay to have their license reinstated in order to lift a suspension.
Provisional Driver Licenses
Drivers who are completing the drivers license restoration process may be able to apply for a provisional drivers license, which will allow them to travel to and from work, school, or hospitals in case of emergencies. This restricted license can be used until motorists restore their revoked or suspended drivers license.
However, not all drivers with a suspended license will be able to apply and receive a provisional license. For instance, if your license was suspended as a result of failing to pay child support, you will not be allowed to apply for a provisional license in some states.

The script has already been written. The Iranian government is closely following a plotline in its quest to become the next nuclear weapons-armed state. And like most cliché thriller movies, the twists are predictable and yet a gullible bunch continues to fall for it.
The first part of the script calls for developing the building blocks for a nuclear weapon while claiming such work is for a domestic nuclear energy program, completely in line with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Most of Iran’s work here can be done legally, although in an effort to speed up the process, the regime has been working on the “trigger” for nuclear explosions and long-range ballistic missiles, and constructing covert enrichment facilities, like the one in Qom that can house only 3,000 centrifuges — far from the 50,000 needed for energy but good enough for building the fuel for a bomb.
Heck, they’re even permitted to build implosion devices minus the fissile core and are studying the use of EMP strikes that can disable the American power grid instantly with few fingerprints being left behind. Working in this way allows for minimal incriminating traces to be found, giving countries like Russia and China maximum room to delay and demand higher levels of proof before supporting any meaningful reprisal.
The words of Iranian officials expose this thinly concealed strategy. In his book Countdown to Crisis, Ken Timmerman quotes Homayoun Vahdati, a scientific advisor to then-President Rafsanjani, as saying on January 27, 1992, “We should like to acquire the technical know-how and the industrial facilities required to manufacture nuclear weapons, just in case we need them. This does not mean that we currently want to build them or that we have changed our defense strategy to include a nuclear program.”
There you have it. On top of the covert construction of uranium enrichment facilities, the link to Syria’s nuclear weapons program, the long history of concealing virtually everything related to its nuclear “energy” program, and having even the head of the IAEA saying its dealings with Iran have hit a “dead end” due to its inability to clarify several discrepancies in the Iranians’ story, we have a high-level Iranian official explaining their plan all the way back in 1992.
Act two starts with the regime announcing that the increased security threat it faces is forcing it to withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 90 days and build nuclear weapons, as permitted by article ten of the treaty. At this point, the Iranians will be ready to quickly roll out not one, but perhaps several nuclear weapons. John Noonan writes that Iran’s investment “far exceeds what’s needed to turn on the lights, but it’s also beyond what’s needed for a basic nuclear weapons program.” He also notes that Iran’s program is a lot more extensive than that of North Korea, and that “Iran is pumping billions more into building and protecting triple the number of facilities required to build a basic nuclear weapon.”
Maybe they’ll say that bullying rhetoric from Israel and the U.S. is forcing them to “change their defense strategy,” as Vahdati put it. Or, in a crafty use of irony, the regime could use an Israeli strike to prevent them from obtaining nuclear weapons to justify obtaining nuclear weapons. “We were innocent and didn’t feel like we needed them when Israel bombed us, but now we do need them after faced with such aggression,” the regime will try to cry out.
The attacked Iranians will win the sympathy of the Muslim world and may even offer to give up their weapons if Israel also agrees to do so, among other concessions. And you can bet there will be those in the West that will buy the line that this wasn’t the plan all along, will blame Israeli and Western aggression for Iran’s decision to make the bomb, and will argue that the only solution is to make the Iranian government feel less threatened.
President Ahmadinejad is already laying the groundwork to justify the future construction of nuclear weapons, even while insisting that is not his current intent. In an interview with reporter Ann Curry in September, Ahmadinejad gave his typical answer in reply to the typical question about whether Iran is trying to get nuclear weapons.
“We don’t need nuclear weapons. Without such weapons we are able to defend ourselves,” he said. Curry pressed him on his answer, warning him that “people will remark that you did not say no.” “You can take from this whatever you want, madam,” he answered.
The script has already been written. And the ending isn’t good.

Strathmill Speyside Whisky Distillery
Strathmill was originally established in 1891 in the Speyside town of Keith as the Glenisla-Glenlivet distillery, there was a fashion at the time to add Glenlivet to every name as the whisky from Glenlivet was so popular. The word Strath comes from the Gaelic meaning ‘shallow valley’ which indicates where Keith is situated. The building is a converted Mill as you may have worked out from the name but was not given the name until 4 years after it was taken over by new owners W & A Gilbey who also owned Knockando distillery for many years. They held onto Strathmill for over 50 years until a merger with United Vinters and Justin & Brooks created the International Distillers & Vinters group in 1962. Investment followed with the number of stills at Strathmill being doubled in1968. As with most distilleries a number of take overs and mergers followed and Strathmill was owned by Grand Metropolitan, Watney Mann, Guinness and now Diageo.
One of Diageo’s workhorse distilleries few official single malt scotch whisky releases were around until 1992 when to mark Strathmill’s 100th birthday a cask strength version was released. The distillery still maintains 5 traditional dunnage warehouses and 2 more modern warehouses. Most whisky from Strathmill goes into J & B but is also used in Dunhill & Old Master blended whisky.
Taste: As Strathmill single malt Scotch whisky is rare a tasting was hard to find however a Signatory Vintage 14 year old bottling is reportedly fresh on the nose with fruity and citrusy on the palate before a short wood finish.

Conestogo was awarded this project in the 2020 just prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although slightly delayed in the start, the facility was deemed essential and work continued in the sporing of 2020 and completed in the fall of 2021. The project consisted of three phases which included renovations to existing aquatic centre washrooms and change rooms, concessions, main entrance and gathering/meeting areas. Other phases included the addition of a pavilion and bridge and the civic front addition. Extensive plumbing renovations and plumbing installations were required for washrooms, change rooms and showers. The civic front included a new ventilation system with hydronic heating and DX cooling. The pavilion also received its own plant including ventilation, boiler and chiller plants. Extensive refurbishments were performed on all existing air handling units.

Well, The Voyage Home has been a long one, but the weekend's First Contact with the JJ Abrams-directed Star Trek
reboot showed much promise for the new (old?) franchise. The film pulled in a not-to-be-scorned haul of $31 million on Friday. This does, admittedly, put it behind last May's Iron Man
, which pulled in $7 million more.
This is undoubtedly good news for Paramount as the film is the first Trek
in years to play beyond its Final Frontier of core Trekkies to new Generations. The previous biggest opening weekend
for a Trek
movie was First Contact
in 1996 with $30 million, while this film represents Abrams' biggest Friday opening as a director (Mission: Impossible III
scored $16 million.)
It seems that The Search For Storyline (ooh, that one was weak) has paid off, as Trek
looks to be the biggest opening for any franchise reboot ever. Casino Royale
and Batman Begins
pulled in $14 and $15 million respectively. However, will the film be able to beat Star Trek IV: The Undiscovered Country
? 1986's blockbuster raked in $107 million - without the appearance of the original cast's Nemesis, we just don't know.
Second place at the box office went to Wolverine
with $8 million - a drop of 76%. Third went to Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
, earning $3 million, fourth to Obsessed
($2 million) and finally fifth was Next Day Air
with a measly $1 million. Must try harder.

Paint layers are the most commonly used type of layers used in digital paint or image manipulation software like Krita. If you’ve ever used layers in Photoshop or the Gimp, you’ll be used to how they work. In short, a paint layer, also called a pixel, bitmap or raster layer, is a bitmap image (an image made up of many points of color).
Paint layers let you apply many advanced effects such as smearing, smudging and distorting. This makes them the most flexible type of layer. However, paint layers don’t scale well when enlarged (they pixelate), and any effects that have been applied can’t be edited.
To deal with these two drawbacks, digital artists will typically work at higher Pixel Per Inch (PPI) counts. It is not unusual to see PPI settings of 400 to 600 PPI for a canvas with a good amount of detail. To combat the issue of applied effects that cannot be edited it is best to take advantage of the non-destructive layer capabilities of filter, transparency and transform masks.
As long as you have enough resolution / size on your canvas though, and as long as you aren’t going to need to go back and tweak an effect you created previously, then a paint layer is usually the type of layer you will want. If you click on the New layer icon in the layers docker you’ll get a paint layer. Of course you can always choose the New layer drop-down to get another type.
The hotkey for adding a new paint layer is the Ins key.

Ossie Davie and Ruby Dee documentary In The Works
Now THIS is great news. After years of loving them as a couple, Ossie Davis and Ruby’s love of each other, life and activism is now becoming a documentary. Ozzie (who passed in 2005) and Ruby’s grandson Muta’Ali Muhammad and his film partner Jevon “NJ” Frank will spearhead the project with lots of input from Ms. Dee. Muhammad said the film will focus on Davis and Dee’s 57 year marriage as well as their social activism. At this point, they’re looking to show the first portion of the documentary in the fall to celebrate Dee’s 90th birthday and hope to have it completed by Black History Month in 2013. Muhammad and Frank have started a Kickstarter site to fund the documentary. You can read more on The Huffington Post.


King's College London made history this week by announcing that it has generated and kept alive the first human embryonic stem (hES) cells in the UK.
Researchers at the college's neuroscience research department have managed to stabilise a line of cells cloned from a single human embryo cell.
Their achievement puts the UK among a handful of countries at the forefront of the field. It heralds an era of cheap and readily available stem cells for UK and European researchers.
Cells will be available to researchers in a couple of months or so when the King's scientists have grown sufficient numbers to deposit some in the UK stem-cell bank, run by the Medical Research Council. They will then be available, at minimal cost, to researchers.
Stem cells have huge potential for developing treatments for many diseases.
Their ability to develop into almost any cell in the body means they can be grown in culture to replace damaged cells.
Stephen Minger, one of the King's research team and an expert in neural injury and repair, said: "We are very excited about this development.
Generating additional lines is very important. Availability is a big issue, and more lines will mean more genetic diversity."
A second UK group based at Newcastle University also claims to have a successful culture of cells, but it has yet to publish.
The first hES cell lines were established in 1998. There are just nine lines available across the whole world, the majority from Singapore, and a small vial of cells can cost up to £4,000.
Dr Minger's group used 58 embryos to generate three stem-cell populations, but two were lost at an early stage. He said this was fewer embryos than most other groups, who had used hundreds but had still been unsuccessful.
He attributed the project's success to the use of donated embryos that had been screened for genetic disorders and proved to be high risk, rather than discarded embryos from in vitro fertilisation, which may not be of sufficient quality.
MRC chief executive George Radda said: "This is an exciting day for UK science. Stem cells offer new hope for treatments, and even cures, for many common diseases, but a huge amount of research is needed to understand how they work and how their potential could be harnessed."

Early voting begins today with both presidential campaigns making big pushes to encourage people to vote in advance of the Nov. 4 election.
Residents can cast ballots over the next two weeks at 17 locations in Broward County and 11 in Palm Beach County.
More than 400,000 residents in the two counties are expected to vote in the next two weeks either by absentee ballot or at the early voting locations.
Campaign advisers and election administrators encourage early voting because of the high turnout expected this year. They predict 70 percent to 80 percent of the 1.8 million registered voters in the two counties will cast ballots, a turnout not seen since the early 1990s.
"Bad economic times tend to increase voter turnout," said Kevin Hill, a political science professor at Florida International University. "This is a wide-open race with no incumbent, and that also increases interest and turnout."
In an addition choosing a president, voters will be electing members of Congress, the state Legislature and local offices. There also are local and state issues, including a question to change the Florida Constitution to ban gay marriage.
Registered voters can vote early at any polling location in their county, unlike Election Day, when people must vote at their designated precincts. The early voting sites in both counties will open at 10 a.m. today. Voters can request absentee ballots through Oct. 29.
Because of its convenience, voters increasingly have turned to early voting since it started as an experiment in 2002. But election officials warn there will be lines, particularly the weekend before Election Day. Lines are expected to be even longer on Nov. 4, when 1 million people are expected to vote in Broward and Palm Beach counties.
Election officials said people can ensure voting at the early voting sites goes fast if they fill out a sample ballot beforehand and resolve any questions about registration in advance, such as updating their address. Voters also must remember to bring photo identification that has their signature.
Local campaigns for both John McCain and Barack Obama, as well as both major political parties, are promoting early voting. Phone calls, fliers and e-mail are going out with reminders, and plans are under way for early vote rallies and marches to the polls.
"We really do want people to early vote," said David Sullivan, voter protection director for Obama's Florida campaign. "It will help them avoid longer lines. And, secondly, they'll be helping their neighbors by allowing those people to get in and vote with shorter lines on Election Day."
Chip LaMarca, chairman of Broward County's Republican Party, said the party has a similar strategy. "It's a lot easier to vote early considering the length of the ballot and the number of people who will be voting," he said.
Scott Wyman can be reached at email@example.com or 954-356-4511.
Casting your ballot
Where to go: Registered voters can go to any of the designated locations in their county for early voting.
Make It faster: Bring your driver's license. Although other forms of identification are accepted, a license is the one that poll workers can process most quickly. Bring a sample ballot, palm card or newspaper listing with your choices marked.
Prevent errors: Check the districts on the ballot against a voter information card or sample ballot before voting. If you suspect you have the wrong ballot, tell a poll worker before submitting it. It's too late if the elections staff has scanned it and deposited it.
Identification: Voters should bring photo identification that includes a signature. Besides state-issued driver's licenses or ID cards, also accepted are passports, employer IDs, buyer's club cards, student IDs or credit cards with photographs. If the photo ID does not include a signature, another piece of identification with a signature is required. A voter information card, also known as a voter registration card, isn't required.

A program in Harlem that teaches seniors how to navigate the internet has received a financial boost.
The Senior Connect program run by the First Corinthian Baptist Community Development Corporation received a $5,000 Spectrum Digital Education Grant Friday with the help of state Sen. Brian Benjamin.
The money was given to Senior Connect for its work helping seniors reconnect with their families and build self-confidence using technology.
The program teaches seniors things like navigating email, setting up social media accounts and even how to pay bills online.
"This pandemic has hit all of us in particular types of ways, but the senior community, those 50 and above, have been disproportionately affected by this," said Desiree Elder, executive director of the Dream Center. "For us, it was so important that we don't leave that community behind."
"I want to thank Spectrum for understanding that it is a public-private partnership," Benjamin said. "That is really what this is all about. Everyone needs to come together. We need to do our fair share, and when corporations are doing the right thing, we should say thank you."
The grant was given out by Charter Communications, which is NY1's parent company.

Fans may have been going to great lengths to campaign in a variety of ways to try and convince Disney to make a sequel to Alita: Battle Angel, but studios aren’t exactly known for caving in to online pressure, especially one as all-powerful and omnipotent as the Mouse House. Last year’s $170 million sci-fi epic quickly found itself becoming a cult favorite, but with the global box office only just crossing the $400 million barrier, it appeared as though the profit margins simply weren’t enough to make further adventures a reality.
Even the stars of the movie haven’t been shy in admitting that the chances of a follow-up are remote, despite Alita‘s recent surge in popularity. However, we heard just yesterday that Disney were reportedly considering making a sequel after all, with the monolithic corporation said to be hugely impressed with the home video sales and dedicated and loyal following that Robert Rodriguez’s blockbuster continues to amass.
And though a feature-length Alita sequel isn’t a 100% guarantee just yet, we’ve also heard from our sources – the same ones who told us Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk shows were coming to Disney Plus, and that the Mouse House is remaking Robin Hood – that even if they don’t decide to move forward with a second installment in the big screen franchise, they’re planning to do a prequel series for the streaming service. According to our intel, one idea under consideration is a show that takes place long before the events of the movie, when the title heroine was a front-line soldier in the war known as The Fall, which was briefly glimpsed during flashback sequences.
The streaming service can’t rely on small screen adaptations of their Star Wars and Marvel brands to power their original output forever, and the higher-ups reportedly believe that Alita: Battle Angel‘s popularity make it a prime candidate for further adaptations. They’re certainly right about that, too, as a lot of people would no doubt be hugely interested in an action-driven sci-fi series based around an inter-planetary war with apocalyptic consequences.


Want to restore your faith in love? Here are the 21 greatest on-screen romances of the 21st century.
When it comes to romance movies, we know you have a lot to choose from. Instead of watching the average romance, raise the bar a little and choose from our list of the greatest on-screen romances of the 21st century.
For as long as people have made movies, they have made movies about love – and there’s a reason for that. There’s something very unique about the experience of watching two people fall in love on the screen. Romance films offer a gratifying escape that allows us to fall in love with people and places we’ll never visit. They also offer us a mirror to better understand and revisit our own memories of falling in and out of love.
Of course, there are plenty of bad romance movies that give the genre a bad reputation. The Notebook, for example, is often discussed as one of the most popular romance films of all time, but it epitomizes a lot of
‘In the Mood for Love’ (2000)
Renowned filmmaker Wong Kar-wai set the gold standard for on-screen romances with his film In the Mood for Love. Starring Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung, this sensuous romance about a man and woman living in the same intimate apartment complex will cast a spell on you. With Wong Kar-wai’s distinct visual style and directorial vision, this is one one-screen romance you don’t want to miss.
‘Y Tu Mamá También’ (2001)
Way before Alfonso Cuarón started cleaning up at the Oscars with movies like Roma and Gravity, his film Y Tu Mamá También reminded us all of how complicated and confusing love can be. This untraditional romance centers on two best friends attracted to the same woman. Struggling in her own marriage, the three set off on a road trip that brings them all closer. Y Tu Mamá También may not be a romance film in the traditional sense, but it has more to say about what it means to be in love than most movies.
‘Talk to Her’ (2002)
Romance may be the bread and butter of many Pedro Almodovar films, but his vision of romance is often far more complicated and unconventional than most mainstream films. His 2002 film Talk to Her is no exception. The movie follows two men who become friends as they women they care about – both in comas – recover in the hospital. Fair warning, Talk to Her may leave you feeling worse than you did at the start so, if you’re anti-Valentine’s Day, this may be the movie for you.
‘Punch-Drunk Love’ (2002)
Paul Thomas Anderson’s 2002 film Punch-Drunk Love led by Adam Sandler features one of the weirdest and greatest on-screen romances of the 21st century. You heard that right: Adam Sandler, star of multiple failed romcoms, stars in one of the most beautifully composed romances of all time. Also starring Emily Watson, Punch-Drunk Love is an ode to love and the way it gives strength to those who possess it.
‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’ (2004)
This one is a heartbreaker, folks. From writer and director Charlie Kaufman, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one of the most inventive and stupefying on-screen romances of all time, not to mention the 21st century. The film plays with the genre, twisting and reworking it until it’s almost unrecognizable. Despite its inventiveness, Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet ground the film in what is one of the most moving on-screen romances ever captured on film.
‘Brokeback Mountain’ (2004)
Few movies breach the cultural lexicon in the way that Ang Lee’s 2004 film Brokeback Mountain did. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger, this romance about two cowboys who fall in love despite the world that threatens to tear them apart is one of the most affecting on-screen romances of the 21st century.
‘Away from Her’ (2006)
Starring Julie Christie in an Oscar nominated role, Sarah Polley’s 2006 film Away from Her is a different kind of romance. While most romance movies tell the story of falling in love, Away from Her depicts the struggle to hold onto it in the face of unavoidable change. A long married couple struggles with the effects of Alzheimer’s disease. As Fiona begins to forget her husband Grant, he is forced to reconcile what it means to love someone that cannot remember him. It’s a devastating story of love that reminds us to always treasure what we have because it’s never guaranteed to last.
‘Lust, Caution’ (2007)
That’s right, Ang Lee made this list twice. That’s how good he is. In his 2007 Japanese romance epic Lust, Caution, which clocks in at 2 hours and 39 minutes, reminded us that Brokeback Mountain was just one of the director’s many masterpieces. Set during World War II in Japan, the film follows a secret agent who is asked to seduce and assassinate a Japanese government official. To say things get complicated is an understatement.
Of all the adaptation of Neil Gaiman stories, Stardust is my person favorite. It’s a rousing fantasy and adventure story that, at its heart, as romance on the mind. In a world full of ruthless princes, pirates that harvest lightning, immortal witches, and stars that fall from the sky and resemble humans, Stardust never loses sight of the power of love to inspire and protect. Stardust is one of the most inventive on-screen romances of the 21st century and will make for the perfect Valentine’s Day movie.
Joe Wright’s Atonement, adapted from a novel by Ian McEwan, is a stunning romance drama set in the midst of World War II. The unique structure of the film owes its credit to McEwan’s novel, but stellar performances from Keira Knightley and James McAvoy turn the story of lost and found love into a miraculous and stunning work of art.
‘Away We Go’ (2009)
While some romance films are memorable for their grandeur, others are made special by their quiet brilliance. Away We Go is one of those films. Starring Maya Rudolph and John Kransinksi, Away We Go begins with a simple premise: a couple expecting their first child travel around the country to find the right place to raise their child. On this journey, they deal with the feeling of fear that accompany raising a child. Away We Go is an intimate story that depicts the ever evolving nature of love.
‘Bright Star’ (2009)
Jane Campion’s Bright Star is one of the most underrated on-screen romances of the 21st century. It’s a film that, while lauded in certain circles, never crossed over in the way it deserved to. The film follows the last three years of the life of poet John Keats as told through his romantic relationship with Fanny Brawne. Starring Ben Whishaw and Abbie Cornish, this lyrical film will take your breath away.
‘Blue Valentine’ (2010)
Ready to have your heart broken? If so, Derek Cianfrance’s Blue Valentine is just the movie for you. I cried for what must’ve been an hour after I first saw this movie when it was released nearly nine years ago. Starring Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams, both of whom career best performances, Blue Valentine charts the beginning and end of one couple’s relationship. The brilliance of the movie is how skillfully it envelopes you in the power of one couple’s love and then tears it all away.
‘Like Crazy’ (2011)
This one is for all of those that have endured (or are still enduring…) the pain of a long distance relationship. Starring Anton Yelchin and Felicity Jones, Like Crazy follows the relationship of two students – one American, the other British – who struggle to stay together despite circumstances outside of their control. This concept has become a theme throughout director Drake Doremus’s work, but Like Crazy is the purest and most successful distillation of this concept. Don’t miss it!
‘Before Midnight’ (2013)
The final installment in Richard Linklater’s Before Trilogy is, on its own, a beautifully rendered story of love that goes deep into the tumultuous and complicated nature of love. When considered in tandem with both Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, Before Midnight is a flawless capstone to one of the greatest on-screen romances of the 21st century. Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy give two incredibly vulnerable and honest performances that will make this movie feel more real than you may expect – and that’s all a part of the film’s genius.
At only 24, Saoirse Ronan has already been nominated for an Oscar three times; Brooklyn marked her second nomination and what a deserved nomination it was. Playing an Irish immigrant who moves to the United States in the 1950s, Ronan plays a young woman navigating a complicated new world. The arrival of a new and thrilling romance changes her life and will challenges her like never before. This beautiful portrait of young love is one of the greatest on-screen romances of the 21st century.
Todd Haynes’ Carol is a masterwork of filmmaking that delivers one of the finest on-screen romances of all time, not to mention the 21st century. It attains this status thanks, in large part, to its beautiful and perfectly balanced composition. All the technical elements of this movie contribute meaningfully to the romance at the center of it all — the cinematography, the production design, the settings, the framing, the score — all work together to create a film that sings with romance. Top notch performances from Rooney Mara and Cate Blanchett combined with Haynes’ sublime direction make this an unmissable romantic film.
‘La La Land’ (2016)
Director Damien Chazelle’s smash hit La La Land has been referred to as an ode to classic Hollywood, a story about those that dream big in the face of insurmountable odds. At the heart of it all is a tale of love and romance. Led by Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, La La Land offers a perfect blend of idealism and realism, grafting a familiar story onto a modern landscape in a way that resonates beautifully.
‘Call Me by Your Name’ (2017)
Luca Guadagnino’s 2017 film Call Me by Your Name is cinematic tour de force; an impassioned, moving, heart-racing, heart-breaking film that will remind you of that special feeling of first love. Guadagnino, whose 2009 film I Am Love could easily be added to this list, demonstrates an unparalleled mastery of the unspoken language of love and desire. He grafts this language onto the story and its characters with perfection – hitting every beat without a single misstep. Want to fall back in love with being in love? Then this is the movie for you.
‘Phantom Thread’ (2017)
This unconventional love story about a couture dressmaker and the young women with whom he falls in love will enchant and surprise you if you allow it to. Set in London in the 1950s, Phantom Thread is a movie about love and power — interrogating the interplay between those two forces and how they inform our relationships. This playfully romantic, occasionally morbid, and darkly comedic film is so unique that it needs to be seen — over and over again — to fully appreciate. Don’t miss what is one of the greatest on-screen romances of the 21st century.
‘If Beale Street Could Talk’ (2018)
Between If Beale Street Could Talk and Moonlight, Barry Jenkins has arguably made two of the best romantic films of the 21st century. However, his best picture winning Moonlight functions primarily as a coming of age story with a romantic undercurrent. His latest film, however, puts love front and center. Adapted from the James Baldwin novel, Jenkins’ film is a beautifully written and adapted story of family and love that assures us of the power love has to save us: “Love brought you here. If you trusted love this far, trust it all the way.”

Home health company agrees to $14 million settlement over improper billing claims
BOSTON - A national home health company with an office in Plymouth has agree to pay $14 million to settle allegations that it improperly billed the state's Medicaid program for ineligible services.
Maxim Healthcare Services, Inc. had been accused of submitting nearly 95,000 claims over more than six years to the Medicaid program, known as MassHealth, for services that were not covered under MassHealth regulations. As part of the settlement, Maxim agreed to comply with conditions established by the state attorney general’s office and re-train employees involved in MassHealth billing.
Maxim is the fourth home health company recently targeted by the office of Attorney General Maura Healey for improperly billing MassHealth for services that were not eligible for reimbursement or were never provided. The state also adopted a moratorium on new home health companies last year that state officials say has lowered home health spending by 21 percent after years of increased costs.
MassHealth spent $617 million on home health services in the fiscal year ending this past July, down from $750 million the previous fiscal year.

Colonialism is a game of 19th and early 20th century imperialism
Colonialism is a game of 19th and early 20th century imperialism. Each of the 2 to 4 players assumes the role of a nondescript colonial power. Players will try to gain influence in the unindustrialized regions of the game board and to obtain as many resources as possible. Although the colonial powers are anonymous in the game, Colonialism aims to be a serious, though abstract, look at this dark chapter in recent world history.

Island Roads are warning of delays in and around Newport today (Friday) due to the movement of an abnormal load.
A lorry is travelling across the Solent to transport a piece of equipment to the new Amey/Isle of Wight Council waste recycling centre on Forest Road.
Due to the size of the load, special arrangements are being made to ease its journey from the ferry to the site on the outskirts of Newport.
Motorists are advised that the slow moving vehicle will be travelling from Fishbourne, through Wootton to Fairlee Road and then Medina Way (dual carriageway) to Forest Road.
It is unknown what time this will be taking place.


Mavs’ JJ Barea feels he’ll be ready by training camp, has no plans to retire yet
Amid his advancing age coupled with injuries, JJ Barea of the Dallas Mavericks expressed his readiness for training camp and willingness to play a few more years. The 35-year-old Mavs backup point guard missed the final 40 games of the 2018-2019 season due to a ruptured right Achilles tendon. This quickly raised concerns about the Puerto Ricans future. But in an interview with Dwain Price of mavs.com, Barea spoke briefly about his status, noting that he wants to be ready by training camp.
“It’s looking like it, but me and coach (Rick Carlisle) and (head athletic trainer) Casey (Smith) are going to sit down and then make a plan. If we can wait a little bit longer, we’ll wait a little bit longer and it’ll be better when I come back. But it’s looking and it’s feeling like I’ll be ready to go for training camp, and that’s what I want. I want to be ready to go for training camp so I can do the whole training camp and go step-by-step after that.”
Barea, who’s about to enter his 14th year in the NBA, also shared his plans for the future. Amid rumors of impending retirement, Barea admits that he still loves the game and is looking to play three to four more years.
“I still feel good, I still love to play the game. So I still want to play two or three more years, maybe four. But I want to go for two (more years). . .and then we’ll go from there.”
Mavericks fans need not worry. They will still see the feisty Puerto Rican take the floor in the next few years.
