At arno-rafael-minkkinen.com, we go out of our way to find the very best photography resources and samples from all over the world. We believe in the power of inspiration. When you see high quality photography, you can't help but be inspired.
With that said, please understand that appreciating great photography is very different from actually hosting your own photography website. There are lots of different considerations when finding hosting services.
Unfortunately, a lot of people who put up any kind of website, much less photography sites, jump in with both feet, and they end up getting burned. It's only a matter of time, if you don't have a fixed set of standards, for you to get burned by your choice.
This is a very easy mistake to make. Why? There are so many choices out there. A lot of these web hosting companies talk a big game. In fact, in many cases, you can even be led to believe that they have your best interest in mind.
Well, you might want to take a step back. You might want to chill out a little bit and look at your particular set of circumstances and whether these line up to the particular competencies and hardware and software infrastructure of the company you're thinking of doing business with.
If you look at your choice from this perspective, then it becomes easier to tell truly high quality hosting companies from sites that are just going through the motions. They're basically saying the right things, trying to create the right impression, but at the end of the day, they really don't have what it takes to deliver the kind of service your photography site or other graphics intensive platform would require to deliver a truly solid experience.
This is a mystery to a lot of people. They don't know how to select the right hosting company. Again, it doesn't matter what kind of site you have your eyes set on, you have to have the right methodical and strategic approach to service selection. Otherwise, your website is going to fall flat.
If you want to get the right information so you can make a truly informed decision, you have to be proactive. You have to look for the inside scoop. This is not always easy.
Get the inside scoop on one of the world's most popular hosts with our Bluehost review. We've analyzed Bluehost, and we have come across a lot of selection information that can truly help you make the right call.
In many cases, the deciding factor doesn't jump out at you. It's not obvious by any stretch of the imagination. However, if you know of a particular selection matrix and you know what to look for, you increase your chances of picking a hosting company that you would stick with for the long term.

Press Releases
Wednesday 10/04/2017 9:36 AM - Text to 9-1-1 Announcement
Contact: Tony Cipolla
Phone: (805) 781-4547
Type of Incident: Text to 9-1-1 Announcement
Date and Time of Incident: 10-4-17
Place of Occurrence: Sheriff's Office Dispatch Center
Victim Information: N/A
Suspect Information: N/A
Details of News Release: The Sheriff's Office, along with the Arroyo Grande and Morro Bay Police Departments, is pleased to announce a new option when it comes to contacting 9-1-1 during an emergency. It's called Text to 9-1-1 and is designed for hearing and speech-impaired members of the community or those in a situation where it is too dangerous to make a voice call to 9-1-1. "Call if you can - text if you can't" is the slogan developed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as the new technology makes its debut in parts of California. Effective immediately the Sheriff's Office Dispatch center is now equipped to receive and respond to mobile phone SMS Text to 9-1-1 messages in San Luis Obispo County. This new program allows a person to send a "short message" (SMS) to 9-1-1. The benefits are significant, especially in cases when the caller cannot communicate verbally. Examples include not only the hearing and speech-impaired, but also when a crime is in process, the caller is facing domestic abuse, or the caller is injured and cannot speak. Funding for the Text to 9-1-1 program is provided by the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES). Below are the FCC guidelines for how to contact 9-1-1. If you use a wireless phone or other type of mobile device, make sure to do the following in an emergency: • If you can, always contact 9-1-1 by making a voice call, "Call if you can – text if you can't." • Location accuracy varies by carrier and should not be relied upon. Be prepared to give your location. • Text-to-9-1-1 service will not be available if the wireless carrier cannot ascertain a location of the device sending the message. • Text-to-9-1-1 is not available if you are roaming. • A text or data plan is required to place a text to 9-1-1. • Photos and videos cannot be sent to 9-1-1. They cannot be received at the 9-1-1 center at this time. • Text messages should be sent in plain language and not contain popular abbreviations (LOL, ICYMI) or emojis, which will not be recognized. • Text-to- 9-1-1 cannot be sent to more than one person. Do not send your emergency text to anyone other than 9-1-1. • Texts must be in English only. There currently is no language interpretation for text available. This is still in development. The following is a list of law enforcement and fire agencies that are currently equipped to receive Text to 9-1-1 for San Luis Obispo County: -San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Office -CHP -San Luis Obispo Police & Fire Departments -Atascadero Police Department -Morro Bay Police Department -Arroyo Grande Police Department -Pismo Beach Police Department -Grover Beach Police Department

Waterway Running Route
When it comes to running with a view, New Yorkers are spoilt for choice: Central Park, the West Side Highway, any and all of the bridges… the list goes on. Our personal favorite? Brooklyn Bridge Park.
The park, which overlooks the East River, starts at the bottom of Atlantic Avenue and ends in Dumbo. To the left you can see Lady Liberty, Governor's Island and, on a really clear day, Staten Island. Straight ahead there's Freedom Tower and the skyscrapers of FiDi. Looking north, Brooklyn Bridge steals the show and the tips of the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building peek over the rooftops in the distance.
Run down to the piers at whichever point suits you best – just don't be tempted to jog right by them. Go around them and you'll see that each one provides different forms of entertainment: volleyball, wild flowers, basketball, bocce and sculptures fill the four recently renovated piers. When you get to what seems to be the end, follow the cobbled road around the corner until you spot Jane's carousel. From there, head under the Manhattan Bridge and continue until you reach the heart of Dumbo.
Either run back up Everitt Street and along the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, repeat what you just did or, if you've had enough, pick up some coffee and cake at the Feed Café. And if you need some motivation to make it back to the beginning of the park in these hot summer months, know that Ample Hills will be waiting with your well-deserved post-sweat ice cream.

Google was expected to announce atleast some platform update to its Android Operating System during this year's I/O conference but all the fans got were updates that will come the respective application updates. But Google did not forget that they were expected to release some info about next Android iteration and they thought of exploiting exactly this by teasing the devs with images referencing to Key Lime Pie. And Google did it not once but twice.
Both the references came up during the talk by Android Development relations Tech Lead, Reto Meier. Google had an amazing video prepared about how they want their developers to build magic apps for the customers and at about 24:30 time the first reference was noticed. This came up when Reto was suggesting developers to use as little info as possible from the customers to make their apps work. A girl eating ice cream cone (not sandwich, mind you) was featured along side Android mascot, Bugdroid, enjoying a tasty slice of a Key Lime Pie.
The second reference came up at about 44:30 when Google was showing a Final Fantasy like game which features Bugdroid as a monster fighting hero along with his comrades Sergey Brin, Larry Page and Reto Meier. In this reference, when the Bugdroid is required to summon giga-stan, "Jelly Bean" and "Key Lime Pie" comes up in the list of spells available for the monster fighters.
Was the presence of these a hint of an upcoming Android upgrade or a troll by Google is still just a guess but nevertheless we do have to say kudos to Google to come up with these especially people were expecting either the release of Android 4.3 JellyBean or Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie at this I/O. If you wanna have a look at the complete presentation, here you go.

Joint EOD Rapid Response Vehicles or Joint Engineering Rapid Response Vehicles (JERRVs) are vehicles that United States Joint Service Engineers and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) units use in war zones, such as Iraq.
The vehicles are used to safely transport EOD operators, supplies, and equipment, including remotely controlled robots (TALON and Packbot), bomb suits, and explosives. JERRVs are more resistant to the effects of landmines, IEDs, and small arms than soft armored vehicles like the Humvees. The JERRV is designed to deflect blasts. They are in some ways like heavier versions of armored cars.
During the design and construction of the first vehicle, considerable use was made of the carpentry team who worked closely with the design team and frequently led the whole process. They constructed many items in plywood and the engineering team was sent down to measure the results and draw them in CAD.
At the same time as the main 4x4 version was being developed, the Designer impressed upon the User the need for a 6x6 version to reduce ground pressures and axle loads; other versions which were designed and mocked up in wood were a flatbed variant (intended to meet the USMC requirement for a lightweight prime mover system capable of pulling a 155mm howitzer and carrying the crew plus ammunition), an ambulance and a command vehicle. The first HEV was delivered to the USMC in Sep/Oct 2004, less than six months after contract award - at which time the design was still a couple of sketches on a pad.
By September 2004 the US Army had shown interest in Cougar and sent its IED/EOD experts to Charleston, SC, to talk to the design team. The Designer agreed to modify the vehicle to make better use of in-service equipment and changed the engine to the military version of the CAT C-7 2136 - making it 24v and upping the HP from 300 to 330 hp. Based upon these assurances, the Army decided to combine with the USMC and order the Joint EOD Rapid Response Vehicle.

How do you make Virtual Reality? Working with Unity 3D
Tron, Total Recall, The Matrix – all these sci-fi classics have one thing in common. They imagine a world where Virtual Reality is the norm. The concept of VR has captivated the human race as far back as the invention of the kaleidoscope. Now for the first time in history, the dream of achieving seamless VR is a reality. How hard is it to make Virtual Reality experiences? Creating a VR experience requires more than just a hacker punching a bunch of green-colored code into a black monitor. Truly immersive Virtual Reality takes close collaboration between both artists and developers.
From design to Virtual Reality development
I started my career as a designer and 3D artist, but when modeling 3D characters and working on indie game projects introduced me to VR development, and I knew that I wanted to be a part of this new medium. I ordered an Oculus Rift when it was first announced on Kickstarter, even though I couldn't create experiences for it yet. My interest in Virtual Reality made me more and more interested in learning code. It wasn't just for the excitement of a new technology; I felt that bringing my knowledge and experience as an artist into the world of Virtual Reality could be a gateway to creating a whole new kind of user experience. I wanted to help turn VR development into an art.
As part of the Marxent team, I had the opportunity to achieve that goal of learning how to make Virtual Reality as a developer. With support from other VR developers here that have made the same jump to becoming Unity 3D developers, I started learning Unity 3D. If you want to get into Virtual Reality Development, Unity 3D is the first tool you should learn. I focused on building my new Unity 3D Virtual Reality knowledge and boosting my C++ experience, and I was soon developing full-time, creating a game in Unity in less than a month. Working in Unity, I was marrying both art and development; using UI design and programming to create all new UX effects that allowed our team to better communicate an idea to the end user. My experience as a 3D artist gives me a different perspective on Virtual Reality development than VR developers that have come from a computer science background. I'm able to incorporate visual details that might seem small but can make a huge difference in the way a user perceives their environment.
How to make a compelling Virtual Reality experience
Making a seamless and believable Virtual Reality experience is no easy feat; even the rules of user experience are different for VR. This technology has unique qualities that must be taken into account to a realistic experience. The way Virtual Reality works is by essentially tricking the viewer's mind into thinking that what they're seeing is a real 3D space in front of them. If the illusion is not realistic enough, the environment can fall into the "uncanny valley," ruining believability. Because Virtual Reality is immersive (feeling like you're inside the environment) vs. observational (screen at a distance), traditional rules that designers have followed for years when creating content for traditional screens are different for VR. Issues like peripheral vision, proprioception, and other display changes are important to take into account for VR.
Proprioception is the sense of one's relative position in a 3D space. When designing assets for Virtual Reality, the scale of 3D models should feel consistent with the scale people see in real life to make the environment feel natural. Adding a reference to a user's hands or body with motion detection further gives viewers a sense of immersion and control in the experience. Devices like the Microsoft HoloLens go a step further, providing an immersive Augmented Reality experience that still allows the user to see their arms in front of them.
Peripheral vision
Developers can use the way peripheral vision works as an advantage for both enhancing realism and a performance by using foveated rendering. This technique uses eye tracking to render the most detail in the center of the line of sight, while filling the peripheral area with lower resolution imagery and lower-poly models. Creating this takes planning in the design phase, when a 3D artist creates both high and low resolution graphics.
User interface
Information in the Virtual Reality environment can be designed to function in several ways. Does it scale and rotate with the 3D objects? Is it part of the screen or part of the scenery? Information can be incorporated with Diegetic (in-scene, scaling with objects) UI hotspots plus more detailed Non-Diegetic (overlaid, separate) windows of text or flat graphics. It's important to these in a combination that feels natural to the user.
Bridging art and science with Virtual Reality
Virtual Reality is not just a fancy new way to watch a movie or play a video game; it's an entirely new medium with the potential for artists and developers alike to express entirely unique experiences. Developers that have an understanding of art and design are better able to use Virtual Reality technology to its full potential because VR depends so heavily on the fundamental natural tool artists use: their eyes.
We finally have the technology and the platforms to allow developers to take Virtual Reality to the next level; beyond just cool experiments and prototypes. We just have to start thinking creatively.

Tiberius has now come to the Pacific Palisades—in the form of a huge bronze portrait statue, over two meters high. The statue is a new loan from the National Archaeological Museum in Naples (Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli), and its arrival marks another chapter in our ongoing collaboration with our colleagues in Naples. Last year we displayed the bronze Apollo Saettante in a special exhibition, Apollo from Pompeii: Investigating an Ancient Bronze. The Apollo had been off display for a number years, and we worked with Naples to investigate and conserve the statue (and it's now back on view in Naples).
The Tiberius presents a similar project—he too has been off view, and one of our primary tasks will be to stabilize the statue for future exhibition. In doing so, we have another rare opportunity to investigate an ancient bronze, and to explore both how it was made in antiquity and what has happened to it since. The results will be presented in an exhibition at the Getty Villa next year.

Cinemax Orders a Premiere Script and Outline for The Knick's Third Season
Soderbergh is in talks with the network on how to proceed.
Warning: This post discusses the events of last night's episode of The Knick, so tread carefully.
Variety reports that Cinemax has ordered a premiere script and season outline for the third season of its early-20th-century hospital drama The Knick, which may come as a surprise to some viewers as last night's episode ended with the death of series lead Doctor Thackery (Clive Owen). Variety's report, however, doesn't imply that Cinemax is going to mimic any of that Jon Snow business. Owen told Variety that he only planned to do two seasons of the show, so Thackery will probably stay dead. And while the series itself was initially built for a two-year arc, according to a statement from Cinemax, all-star director Steven Soderbergh and creators Michael Begler and Jack Amiel have been discussing ways to continue the story.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Amiel went into more detail on The Knick's possible future. "It seems that way, doesn't it?" the co-showrunner said in response to a question about whether Thackery is really dead. But Amiel was more forthcoming about a possible, Clive Owen–less future. "There's a lot of ways to do this, absolutely," he said. "Steven [Soderbergh] always says the hospital show is the most durable format in television and that's true." It might be hard for a low-rated show on a minor network to continue without its star, but now could be the time for that Algernon spinoff we all want.

Farmville is great for getting money out of your government
Would you like to get money for nothing out of your government? You could try and recreate the scam undertaken by some Farmville fans in Romania, who managed to con more than £400,000 in subsidies out of their government for their fake farms.
Of course, the government caught wind of it all and stopped payments, however, that isn't the end of the tale as the faux-farmers are now suing.
The eight men claimed to be in possession of 1,860 cows and received roughly £100 per animal over three years.
The Farmvillites say they weren't told the farms had to be real when they applied and are taking their case to court, where a drunk old judge will no doubt irritate himself half stupid because he has to spend time finding out what the internet is before proceeding with the case.
So, seeing as the government Autumn statement means you'll have to work 'til you die, you may as well try and blag them out of some money for your pretend animals.
Let us know how you get on.

- klingeltonTHIS. IS. GENIUS.
- FaginThank god the majority of Romanian gypsies keep old tradition alive by insisting that every child learns how to pick a pocket (or two) instead of resorting to playing farmville on their stolen phones (you've got to pick a pocket or two, oi) ...though I expect they are claiming an EU grant for this also under a heritage payment scheme with a paid for tour of uk cities demonstrating their skills.
- CharlesIf this goes to trial and the fauxfarmers win, I bet the government will use eminent domain to seize their fauxfarms.

Charaka – Ayurveda's Greatest Internal Medicine Specialist
The word 'Charaka' literally means 'wandering' or 'touring'. One of the greatest Ayurvedic physicians of all time was called Charaka because he was constantly travelling far and wide in Ancient India, healing, teaching and spreading the message that health and disease are not predetermined. Charaka lived between the third and second centuries BC, and was the court physician of the Buddhist King Kanishka. He was also the author of the one of the oldest and the most important ancient authoritative writings on Ayurveda, the Charaka Samhita, which is truly an encyclopedia of health, as it covers information right from birth to death.
The Charaka Samhita provides guidelines to doctors, nurses and patients about their role in curing a disease. Charaka taught that life may be prolonged by human effort and attention to lifestyle. He gave great emphasis to cleanliness and described an ideal daily routine. The Charaka Samhita has discussions on treatment and explanations on the various root cause of the diseases. It presents most of the theoretical principles of Ayurveda and concentrates on the branch of Ayurveda called Kayachikitsa or internal medicine.
The Charaka Samhita is divided into eight sthanas or parts which are again divided to 120 chapters, and some them are in the fields of physiology, etiology and embryology. Interestingly, the Charaka Samhita is not an original writing of a single person but a continuation and renewal of an ancient knowledge system, proving that Ayurveda is a product of constant verification, fine-tuning and authentication by an active community of physicians. To this day, vaidyas or Ayurvedic physicians hold this treatise in reverence. This is especially true in Kerala, the sunny state in South India where the vaidyas are renowned for their knowledge of the Charaka Samhita.
The First Among Equals
Charaka was the first physician to present the concept of digestion, metabolism and immunity. He understood the fundamentals of genetics- he knew the factors determining the sex of a child and taught that a defect in a child, like lameness or blindness, was not due to any defect in the mother or the father, but in the ovum or sperm of the parents. He studied the anatomy of the human body and various organs. He gave 360 as the total number of bones, including teeth, present in the body. He wrongly believed that the heart had one cavity, but he was right when he considered it to be a controlling centre. He claimed that the heart was connected to the entire body through 13 main channels. Though he was mistaken in some respects his knowledge on anatomy and various organs of human body was amazing.
Charaka carried out extensive work on the respiratory system and placed great emphasis on the diagnostic part of the treatment. He classified everything from the solar calendar to the timing of the birth of a child. This legendary physician identified eight stages of a disease from its inception to the culmination. He also laid great emphasis on the timing and manner of the collection of medicinal plants. His most famous quote is "A physician who fails to enter the body of a patient with the lamp of knowledge and understanding can never treat diseases. He should first study all the factors, including environment, which influence a patient's disease, and then prescribe treatment. It is more important to prevent the occurrence of disease than to seek a cure" – and these words of wisdom hold good to this day.

Proof she's found the fountain of youth and hiding it from all of us.
...and how you can help, too!
She looks amazing.
It's not all in the genes. These celebrities also got some pretty solid beauty advice from their moms.
The actress talked beauty and wellness with SELF.
Not every red carpet look is easy to emulate, but one thing from last night's Oscars show you can copy right now? The lipstick. Here are the exact lip shades your favorite celebs wore on the red carpet.
In a recent interview with Good Morning America, Sofia Vergara admitted that she's a bit "nightmarish" about planning her upcoming wedding to Joe Mangianello. She let us in on what the process has been...
There's a reason why celebrities look amazing in photos. OK, there are a lot of reasons: They're genetically blessed, they have a glam team...The list goes on. But they also know some little tricks for posing—that anyone can try—that make any picture super flattering. You know who else knows them? The mastermind behind all of Allure's celebrity cover shoots, our creative director and all-around fashion-world boss Paul Cavaco. We asked him to spill his secrets to looking fantastic in pictures.
Long before some of your favorite actors and actresses were appearing on the silver screen and in television shows, they were modeling—often in hilariously embarrassing photo shoots. Here, a look back at the major celebrities who got their start in the modeling industry. (Prepare yourself for plenty of semi-clothed Abercrombie mugging.)

How to contribute
I believe this photo to have been taken c1954. My late husband Michael Tonks started at Varndean c1953, so am guessing this athletic group in which he is shown, would be about that time.
Can you recognise anyone here?
Unfortunately I have no names for the other boys or the master. Perhaps if you recognise yourself or can identify anyone else, you will leave a comment below.
My late husband Michael Tonks is second right front row.
From the private collection of Jennifer Tonks nee Smith
According to the Varndean School lists, Phil Morgan started at Varndean in 1959 and Michael Tonks in 1953. So it is unlikely they are both in this photo.
Front row: far left Geoff Havell I think far right Peter Love. I was in that year group and have some pictures taken at CCF camp Castlemartin 1956. Michael Tonks is in them.
Hallo Bryan Roberts, Gary Murphy, Bruce Duplock - sorry for the late reply. Bryan, I would be most interested to see the photos. If you would be happy to let me have a copy let the editor know please. Bruce thank you for pointing the year out to me. Gary, I was guessing my late husband Michael to have been 13ish in the photo so 1955/56. Many thanks
Hi Jennifer. That is me front row 1st from left. I started at Varndean in 55 and left in 59. Michael O'Reilly is next to the teacher. He was my best mate. I am pretty sure that we were the Cross Country Team. I have lived in Melbourne Australia since 1963. I am a tour guide now and drive a small bus. It sure has brought back some memories. Best wishes.
Now I recognise Micky O'Rielly (aka Gripple Grabble Gridly due to his insatiable appetite) and I think it is Gordon Morris next to him. Can only just recall your face Geoff, but certainly knew you when you were there. Neither me (aka RC) or Peter Serres are in the picture, but we too were in that year and still keep in touch.
Just found this page. I was at Varndean from 1952 and remember all these faces except for the one at the middle bottom row. Thanks heavens some of you have been able to recall the names because I couldn't! Lovely old photo though, which brings back many memories.
I have just seen the picture online of Michael, just how I remember him. We all lived in Bevendean, all part of a lovely big gang of kids from the junior school and the area.
Michael and Alan Greening went to Varndean, I went to the girls' version. Some of the other boys were Michael Wenham, Billy Onions, John Greening, David Round and others whose names I've forgotten.
I'm so sorry to hear that Michael has died, he was certainly a great boy and I'm sure he turned out to be a lovely chap.
Hallo Dianna.Yes Michael and I married 1971.He sadly died early 2004.Those names you mentionI recall a Brian Wenham but can't remember the other names. He did indeed grow into a lovely man.

Three points, up three places and three clean sheets - a treble that made Juande Ramos a happy man after Sunday's 4-0 win against Wigan.
Three points, up three places and three clean sheets - a treble that made Juande Ramos a happy man after Sunday's 4-0 win against Wigan.
The visitors were swept away by a fine first half performance with Jermaine Jenas pulling the strings from midfield and Dimitar Berbatov at his cunning best up front.
JJ netted twice in that first half and would surely have claimed one of the goals of the season if he'd managed to complete his hat-trick after a fantastic one-touch move at the end of the half only to clip his finish just wide from six yards.
Aaron Lennon volleyed home the third before the interval after Dimitar Berbatov pulled down Paul Robinson's 80-yard clearance.
JJ was later denied a hat-trick by the linesman's flag before Darren Bent drilled home the fourth. We still had time to hit the woodwork twice and Chris Kirkland produced another save out of the top drawer to deny Didier Zokora a famous first goal.
The 4-0 result made it three clean sheets in four games under Juande and our new management team while the victory lifted us up to 14th in the table.
"I'm happy with the scoreline but the thing I'm more happy about is that in the four matches I've been coach, we've kept three clean sheets," reflected Juande.
"Once you get clean sheets, the players play much better and with more confidence.
"The team attacks well but we have to be good defensively as well - that gives us more solidity and means we'll perform better.
"I'm especially satisfied with the three points because sometimes you get the three points and the teams around you also win, so you don't really go up the table. I'm happy we've gone up the table, with the impression the team gave and the solidity we showed and those are the three main points."

New York: Big City Lights
Some days in the New World. (Part_2). It's true I love eating, and so much.
Before leaving for any destination, I thoroughly explore the food traditions of that country, I document what and where to eat, I really like taste new flavors, I like to get used to the place.
For New York, of course, the thing has become very busy. The food is not really "healthy" but that did not stop me, and let's say, after all those miles on foot we deserve all those nice calories.

When was the last time you sat deeply into your chair and took a breath? Took a moment to shut off the screen vying for your attention to instead appreciate a few minutes of calm in your own head. At times life can be so chaotic that taking that breath, or claiming that moment can seem impossible. For many, cannabis is one tool to make time. Loading a small bowl can quiet the mind, allowing tangled thoughts to unwind and to stake claim of the moment. Now this is by no means the only reason people indulge, but this does inspire a question. Why are people so afraid of pot?
Why this particular plant rouses anxiety to some cannot be explained in one conversation. However, what can be explained are the numerous reasons why cannabis is embraced by many and in such diverse ways. We invite you to take this moment with us. Pull up a chair, sit as deeply as you like, and if you fancy, enjoy a little herb.
The most important aspect to cannabis is in fact rather obvious — it's a plant. When one tastes or smells a strain of cannabis there is a reason why we think of lemons or lavender. Like all plants, cannabis produces an assortment of oils. Some oils are responsible for the cerebral effects, such as the cannabinoid THC, while other oils like terpenes produce specific smells or flavours. The fact that terpenes exist in all plants results in some strains tasting similar to fruit or smelling like a flower. As long as we remember that simple fact we discuss cannabis as a plant, not a drug.
Imagine someone at work approaches you and asks, "Do you smoke pot?" An honest answer would render most unemployed. Reefer Madness might seem outrageous today. The idea of devil weed and a total lack of ambition dated concepts, but the stigma still persists. Questions about cannabis use hold so much power that even politicians have been known to avoid answering clearly. Even medical cannabis used only during off hours can leave honest, hard-working folks without a job. Naturally, we think it's about time things changed.
Cannabis is about capturing the moment. Some might sit back with a book and an indica before bed, while others may enjoy a sativa as they give the home a little TLC. Despite how and why we indulge, cannabis is still a plant. We can create medicine, clothing, and jobs, or we can create stigma and fear. The choice is ours. New Vansterdam would like to invite you to join the discussion and help shape cannabis culture. Let us know what cannabis is for you, and without further ado, Lets Talk Pot.

The devices and creams that use the chemical element to make the skin more luminous and youthful.
Loved and promoted by celebrities such as Madonna, the treatments to restore light and tone to your face today by using the properties of oxygen: it stimulates the microcirculation locally, thanks to blood oxygenation, and makes the skin brighter and clearer. It is not enough to smooth out wrinkles, of course, but it has an anti-aging effect by improving the complexion.
With aging there is a slowing of circulation. The result is that the skin looks lifeless and ruined by decrease in the presence of oxygen which exchanges between the cells and in the deepest part of the epidermal surface. The practice confirms that oxygen has a positive effect on the skin, even if there are no scientific studies that explain exactly what this effect is. Also don't know the long term consequences, but do not forget that oxygen is primarily responsible for cellular aging (oxygenation).
Oxygen Ozone Therapy
These microinjections, made with a 4 mm needle, a mixture of oxygen (O2) and ozone (O3). Revitalize the face, making the tissues more rosy, clear and flexible, thanks to the stimulation of local microcirculation, which in turn facilitates the production of collagen. It can be done by your doctor and each cycle includes 4-5 sessions at 7-15 days apart. You can do one or two cycles per year, each cost 400-650 US Dollars or around 300-500 Euros.
Hyperbaric Oxygen
A machine sprays pure oxygen on the face, together with a serum-based hyaluronic acid and vitamins. The oxygen penetrates into the dermis for compressing, transmitting the active ingredients of the serum in the skin. This treatment can be found in the beauty center, it costs 200-250 US Dollars or 150-200 Euros per session. Five sessions are recommended at a distance of 7-10 days.
Creams and Masks
The creams that contain oxygen lighten the skin and stimulate the cell turnover. Oxygen is carried by the active ingredients such as fluorochemicals, penetrate into the dermis and improve the microcirculation. Immediate effects are achieved by masks, to be applied for 20 minutes: Your face results more bright.
Oxygen Shower
A blast of pure oxygen is shot at close range on the face. By compression, oxygen enters into the dermis, even if a small part and the superficial level. The effects last for so little, about a week. It can be found at the beauty center and costs 40-65 US dollars or about 30-50 Euros per session.
Hyperbaric Room
The equipment used for decompression for scuba divers or for other conditions that have a positive effect on the skin. Pure oxygen is inhaled in a situation of pressure changes, at inside of a sealed chamber.
The hyperbaric treatment is used to accelerate the healing process, to speed up the recovery of fractures, to purify the body in case of carbon monoxide poisoning. The improvement of the epidermis is therefore a secondary effect, related to the increase of oxygen in the blood.Information! Some celebrities would be subject to the hyperbaric chamber to counteract wrinkles, but it is not widespread, partly because it is a medical procedure subject to strict protocols.
The oxygen facial treatments offer several benefits for aging skin, sufferers of adult acne, or just to de-stress and restore skin to a healthier physical state.

Free Market and Good Government: Common Grounds
Policy Research Institute of Market Economy (PRIME) – an independent think tank organised a Business Recorder conference on Free Market and Good Government: Common Grounds at Government College University, Lahore. It was supported by Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom. The conference discussed Pakistan's economic credibility on the basis of institutional deficits underpinned by legal system and property rights. It was concluded that economic freedom which offers equal chances for all can be contrasted from crony capitalism on the basis of legal system and property rights. The conference featured three panel discussions on: 'Private Property Rights', 'Dispute Resolution: Competition between State and Non State Actors' and 'Contract Enforcement', chaired by: Dr. Ikram Ul Haq, Dr. Saeed Shafqat and Dr. Khalil Ahmad.
During the conference the speakers said that there is a broad level of consensus amongst the theorists and policy makers that market economy or free market as a system of allocation of scarce recourses has helped creation of wide spread prosperity. However, its attendant details of macro and micro economic policies greatly vary across nations.
They were of the view that despite this variation, literature on new institutional economics has given currency to another consensus: the success of market economy as a bed rock of widespread prosperity rests on the socio economic institutions in a society. These are situated in the legal system and property rights environment in a country.
First Session on Private Property Rights
Addressing the first session on Private Property Rights, Dr. Raza Ullah stated that his study aims to explore the role of property rights in women empowerment using Hernado De Soto's International Property Rights Index gender component. Data was collected from a sample of 115 respondents in district Charsadda and Peshawar in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Dr. Raza suggested that property have stronger linkages with women real empowerment. However to ensure such rights this study has identified social activism, access to information, need for technological orientation, organisational re-engineering, and access to finance as pre-requisites.
Ali Salman, Executive Director of PRIME, in his presentation, highlighted key policy messages for Pakistan's economy. According to the Economic Freedom of the World Report 2013, Pakistan stands at 103 out of 152 countries in economic freedom. One of the key findings of the report was that the status of legal system and property rights in Pakistan has shown deterioration over years which is correlated with Pakistan's decline in economic freedom. This is associated with a declining expenditure of government where it matters the most: enforcement of the law. In fact, Pakistan's lowest score in the index is on the Legal System and Property- a 4.22 out of 10 points. Pakistan's fall in economic freedom is associated with a declining expenditure of government where it matters the most: enforcement of the law.
Second Session on Dispute Resolution
During the second session on ''Dispute Resolution: Competition between State and Non State Actors", Ali Malik stated that lack of strong corporate law and contract enforcement infrastructure allows non-state actors including mafia to emerge in an economy, and create a competition between state and non-state actors. In his presentation, Ali highlighted that how in their evolution, almost every major commercial hub in the world, while drawing lessons from Pakistan had to deal with mafia and how with the increased economic activity, state power and capacity to provide strong cooperate law and contract enforcement infrastructure and to root out mafias and non-state actors.
The second presenter, Syed Ali Raza Shah shared his views on Dispute resolution Challenges in Transitioning and Developing States. He said that there is a concept of efficacious remedy in law which has to be proportionate when there is a breach of contract. A state's ability to enforce contract enforcement lies in how the power of the state has been structured and distributed in its legal system. Even if there is an underdeveloped economy and a struggling democracy, the ability of state to bounce back hinges upon one fundamental aspect -that is the devolution of state powers.
Third session on Considerations for investing in a country
The need for FDI in Pakistan is crucial. Ahmad Hassan, Advocate Supreme Court while explaining the economic costs of poor contract enforcement described how the court decisions have a direct impact on investor morale. Thus, the risk associated with breach of contracts with foreign investors can have significant impact on attracting investment in a country.
The last presenter of the session, Zia Banday compared Pakistan and China's standing on Contract Enforcement. He said that china is the second largest outward investor after US. Despite a fair weather friend, China out of 408 USD Billions has invested 879.4 USD Millions in Pakistan in the last ten years. The total percentage which Pakistan has attracted in last ten years is 0.2 per cent. China has a lesser Economic freedom than Pakistan but its contract enforcement policies has made it the third largest every eye destination in the world.

More than just your average orchard, the one-hundred-year-old Orchard at Altapass, just south of Linville Falls, is a tribute to Appalachian culture and history
In 2013 the Altapass Foundation received a grant from the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area (BRNHA) for upgrades to the music venue. The funding was used to expand the dance floor to allow us to accommodate large school groups, and to improve seating in terms of comfort and capacity. The BRNHA provides funding in the form of matching grants, and in this effort, the AF portion was contributed by Universal Equipment Corporation, who sold the new chairs to us at cost, and Columbia Forest Products, who sold the plywood to us at cost. We are grateful to all three organizations for their contributions.

The culinary Off-site Project will be followed by Act II, the concluding program of SB13. On October 14, Act II launches two exhibitions in Beirut, conceived by guest curators Hicham Khalidi and Reem Fadda at Beirut Art Center and Sursock Museum respectively. In this final chapter of the Biennial, Reem Fadda's exhibition Fruit of Sleep explores the notion of dormancy, looking at sleep as an act of neither the singular or collective mind, but rather of a social body carefully plotting action in the face of failed revolutionary attempts.

Act II features walks, lecture performances, talks, panels, theatre, music and dance across the city, as well as film screenings, including new SB13 commissions. Commissioned books will also be launched during the opening week of Act II, together with a compilation of the publications released throughout SB13 in Beirut, Dakar, Istanbul, Ramallah and Sharjah.

MF Global Holdings, a major player in th futures market, has filed for bankruptcy after failing to find a buyer.
The petition, filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court fo the Southern District of New York, came days after talks to sell some of its assets to Interactive Brokers fell apart according to a report published by Reuters on Monday.
The bankruptcy filing, which also involves MF Global Finance USA, a subsidiary of MF Global Holdings, is a major blow for chief executive Jon Corzine who had tried to transform the firm from an agency brokerage into an investment bank. Corzine, the former chief executive of Goldman Sachs, becamse chief executive of MF Global in March 2010 after a term as governor of New Jersey.
The bankruptcy makes MF Global the largest casualty of the European debt crisis; the firm had made risky bets on the sovereign debt of Italy, Portugal, Spain and Greece which didn't pan out and recently announced a second quarter loss of $192 million.
The New York Federal Reserve says it has suspended new business with the futures trading company until it can perform its duties as a primary broker. The InterContinental Exchange says it will limit MF Global customers to unwinding positions no longer recognize the company or its divisions as a guarantor of futures trades.
