LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — A trial has begun over Arkansas' use of a sedative in executions that critics say doesn't render inmates fully unconscious, two years after the state raced to put eight inmates to death before its batch of the drug expired.
An attorney for death row inmates challenging Arkansas' use of midazolam in executions told a federal judge Tuesday that the state's lethal injection process causes condemned inmates to feel as though they're being lit on fire.
An attorney for the state argued that the inmates have fallen far short of proving the state's execution process is unconstitutional.
Arkansas executed four of the eight inmates in 2017. Courts halted the other four executions.
The trial is expected to last two weeks and will revisit two of those executions, which inmates' attorneys say were problematic.

Doug, Scott set up NZ's T20 win
Bracewell clubbed 44 off 26 balls including five sixes and a four while Kuggeleijn only faced 15 deliveries to be not out 35 with four sixes and a four. New Zealand now prepare to host India in a series of ODIs while Sri Lanka head to Australia
The recalled Doug Bracewell and debutant Scott Kuggeleijn starred with bat and ball for New Zealand to beat Sri Lanka by 35 runs in the one-off Twenty20 match in Auckland on Friday. It ended a dismal tour for the Sri Lankans with the drawn first Test followed by a succession of losses in the second Test, three one-dayers and the Twenty20. New Zealand, sent into bat, recovered from 55 for five to finish on 179 for seven with Bracewell (44) and Kuggeleijn (35 not out) the key contributors. Although the target was not daunting, and Sri Lanka easily kept up with the required run rate to be four for 118 after 12 overs.
But their last six wickets fell for the addition of only 26 more runs and the innings folded for 144 with 19 balls remaining. Kuggeleijn and Bracewell both took wickets in their opening overs. Kusal Perera, who raced to 22 off 12 deliveries was removed by Kuggeleijn's third delivery while Niroshan Dickwella, who smacked a four and a six from the first two balls of the innings, went for 18 with the first ball from Bracewell.
Kuggeleijn and Bracewell also took the catches to dismiss Kusal Mendis (17) and Thisara Perera (43). The first game all tour for Sadeera Samarawickrama was a short-lived affair when he was bowled first ball by Lockie Ferguson. Ferguson finished with figures of three for 21 while Ish Sodhi took three for 30. Sri Lanka did with the toss and put New Zealand into bat with impressive early results.
With a more disciplined bowling attack than was seen in the ODIs, and with astute field placements, Sri Lanka ripped through the New Zealand top order to have them four for 27 midway through the fourth over. Ross Taylor, who tormented Sri Lanka in the one-dayers, had to play a more circumspect role. His first 11 runs were all singles from 22 deliveries before he first found the boundary on his way to 33 off 37.
Taylor's patience, however, had set the stage for the Bracewell and Kuggeleijn to hit out and give the total some respectability. Bracewell clubbed 44 off 26 balls including five sixes and a four while Kuggeleijn only faced 15 deliveries to be not out 35 with four sixes and a four. New Zealand now prepare to host India in a series of ODIs while Sri Lanka head to Australia.

3 pointsI have installed LABVIEW 2019, and I followed the procedures to make sure VIPM can communicate with VIPM 2018.0.0f2: https://support.jki.net/hc/en-us/articles/214135683-Resolving-issues-with-VIPM-connecting-to-LabVIEW But, still I do not see LABVIEW 2019 listed within the VIPM window: Any clue on how o solve this? Thanks
2 pointsThis may be due to the Wayland X server. If you are using Wayland, try switching to the Xorg X server and see if the command works.
2 pointsFor the fact that one could use a 3rd party additional software for $ 499 only one year meaningfully is pure rip-off. JKI, never again !!
2 pointsIn version 1.0.3 we've added System Arrays to the "System" theme of the JKI Design Palette. There are two different System Arrays arrays. 1) There's one with a "System Spin Control" for the Index Display (with increment and decrement buttons), which is nice because it's similar to the other array controls (Classic, etc.) 2) There's another one with a "System Numeric" for the Index Display (without increment and decrement buttons), which is nice because sometimes you don't want/need the increment and decrement buttons. These are really useful for creating nice System themed UIs with controls like the ones shown below. Have fun!
2 pointsHello Jim, It used to be that older versions of VIPM could connect to the newest versions of LABVIEW. Is there any particular reason why this changed? This issue seems to have happened from the VIPM 2018 Version because it was a major update. Is this going to happen for all versions of VIPMs in the future? The problem is that I have a licence for VIPM 2018, and now I can't use VIPM 2018 with LABVIEW 2019 (I won't be able to generate VIPC files without the licence). thanks Helcio
1 pointI ran across a problem in a project where, after creating and initializing the class under test in the setUp VI, unbundling it in the test VI returns a default object rather than the one I instantiated. setUp.vi testCount.vi I've attached a project with the class under test (ListImp) and two test cases. Both test cases have (as near as I can tell) identical setUp code and identical code in the test method (testCount). However, one test passes while the other test fails. Any idea what's causing this? [Edit - The about box reports "version 188.8.131.524 (Feb 11 2019)".] [Edit 2 - Another piece of potentially relevant information is the Test_ListImp..._2 test class was brought forward from an older version of VI Tester. I don't know what version, but according to my repository it was sometime before Feb. 2013. The other test class (the one that passed) was created with the current version of VI Tester.] VI Tester Error.zip
1 pointOk, thanks for this, no less than what I was expecting from JKI 🙂 I don't really use NXG yet, I installed NXG 4.0 and had a quick look around, nothing more for now. Not sure yet when I'll start migrating my customer project, probably around end of 2020. At the moment I'm listing all the NI modules/drivers and "community modules" that I use in CurrentGen and start checking if and when they'll be available in NXG.
1 pointI'm in no rush to move project to NXG, but I am curious, I saw on GitHub that JKI is has worked on a JKI State Machine for NXG and I was wondering if there was any similar project for EasyXML. I'm assuming the transition of this toolkit is not going to be a huge problem, am I right? I'm also assuming some NXG early birds have already tried the transition of EasyXML, anyone?
1 pointI've been using VIPM for years to access the LabVIEW Tools Network. Recently, one of my machines was set up with a User Account (where I do most of my work) and a separate Admin account. A while ago, I tried to install EasyXML and got a strange error (among other things, I was told the package was not compatible with my OS nor any version of LabVIEW installed on my computer). Turns out the "fix" was to run VIPM from my Admin account. But do I learn? No, months later, I try to install another package. Similar error. While browsing this Forum, I run across my previous note and see "Run VIPM as Administrator", which (are you surprised?) fixes this "new" error. You'd think I would have learned my lesson, but I can at least pass on this warning. Bob Schor
1 pointI missed the part where you are using a VM for this. Are you accesing from a remote X session? If so, the root user will require some additoinal authorization to run GUI based applications in remote sessions.
1 pointOne of my colleages found a sulution: I had to check the security checkbox under the general properties of the VIPM installer file. After that, the installation was successfull.
1 pointHey Sam. This should be fixed in VIPM 2020. If you're interested in helping beta test it, please sign up for the LabVIEW 2020 beta.
1 pointHi Sam. Thanks for reporting this. Yes, I'm guessing you're right that it's an issue with the *.vim file extension. I'll have our team look into it.
1 pointYes, you can have Jenkins run a set of tests for each commit. You might want to try using the G-CLI tool to run a set of VI Tester tests from the command line. It was created by @jamesmc86 and it's a great tool (we even use it in the build process for JKI Design Palette)!
1 pointDear JKI community, let me, please, share the following - button "Boolean--Add-Plus-Transparent-Button-(flat).ctl" has label "Wrench" (although, there is real wrench in transparent buttons set). Thank you very much, Sincerely, kosist.
1 pointversion 22.214.171.124 requires JDP version 188.8.131.52 but the latest available version is 18.104.22.168 See image :
1 pointI hope for you that others which bought VIPM in 2018 see it the same like you. I bet they don't!!!! 🤣😆 I bet NI is also not amused, if people stay with LV2018 for ever. But hey! I don't care anymore, i found a work around.
1 pointThanks for reporting this, Antoine. We just released 184.108.40.206 and it should be available in VIPM shortly.
1 pointWell, that is not good!!!😠 In this case, a free update for those who paid for VIPM PRO would only be fair!!!
1 pointThank you very much for that super fast reply and supported download link!!!!!! I will keep an eye on that release. Now I am happy again 😁😍!!!!!! Cheers Gregor
1 pointHi all, First, thank you JKI for your great tool that makes the design of my UIs so much easier! I successfully added my own themes and controls to the JKI Design Palette but I noticed some controls are not supported. Arrays and clusters with no elements: data structures like arrays and clusters require to have elements to be added to the Palette. Adding arrays or clusters that don't have elements make all the controls in the JKI Design Palette disappear as shown below. In the future, I think it would be great to be able to add our own arrays and clusters that don't have a type to the Palette. Decorations: decorations can't be added to the Palette. I tried to add my own decorations to the Palette and it looks like they are not supported. It didn't make the other controls disappear like above but I think it would be a great improvement to have access to decorations (classic or our own) via the JKI Design Palette. Best, Benoit
1 pointThanks for testing and letting us know. Yes, we now officially support "empty" clusters and arrays -- previously, these were throwing errors when we tried to load them, but we fixed it so that they are handled better and officially supported. Have fun.
1 pointHi Jim, I just checked and it works great! Good idea to automatically delete the "Delete Me" element once the control is placed on the Front Panel. It also looks like the issue with the controls disappearing doesn't exist anymore. Thanks
1 pointIn any validation setting, the tolerances around measured and reported values is critical, and so is tracking the tolerances for any given parameter being measured, with any measurement device or sensor. To automate the calculation of these ranges and limits within our overall application, we must track the specifications of any of these parameters. This used to be done using a peer reviewed excel table, and was loaded into LabVIEW using the Report Generation Toolkit. This had several drawbacks, but that's not the point of this post. The point is that using Excel means that any text becomes free text and if data isn't entered correctly then it can cause issues with parsing. So I created something I call the Specification Manager. It's a small utility that is intended to only be used by validation test case developers to add new specifications to the database of available specifications that can be tested, or to add new hardware for use in the validation tool. I built this tool in about 2-3 days as a way of trying out the JKI Flat UI 2.0 and the Design Palette. Here's the home screen of the tool: Some things that I think make this a nice UI: Dark background (76, 76, 76) and a nice pop of vibrant color, the icon for the tool uses the same two colors to provide consistency All native windows elements are hidden as this tool is very small and simple, there's no need for a toolbar, etc. Our company uses Century Gothic as a common font in many places, so I used that for some of my UI elements (title bar, specifically) System Chiselled Line separating workflow components of the tool. That horizontal line doesn't look like much, but it's a visual separation of the two things you're supposed to do with this tool. 1) select a file path, 2) manipulate the individual .spec files Listbox to store data - I hate working with listboxes, but I think they are the best UI element for storing continuous data. They look way better than any array I've seen when the data is simple. To add a new specification to the library, you press 'add' and get a dialog window that's a sort of wizard: I used the JKI built-in buttons here to give some sort of icon to the various specifications that can be created. I also changed the color scheme of this wizard to 'light' to signal to the user that this is a dialog/configuration type window and not really part of the core functionality of the utility. If this were a project for a wider audience, I would have customized them a bit more, but as-is, I think it's okay. The symbols are kind of meaningless as the library isn't as vast as I'd like it to be. After selecting the type of specification, you enter the name of it: This screen continues to use consistent fonts, and buttons from the previous screen. Pressing 'Continue' gets you to the heart of what this application is intended to do, modify specifications. (*I typed in random data, please don't double check these against the actual specifications of the 6218 - I will not be using this data in production) I used an array of customized clusters containing the JKI Flat UI 2.0 numerics and enums, then used some more of their pre-built buttons at the bottom for continued navigation. I used the same pop of color on the cancel button, mostly for fun, but also as a way of drawing immediate contrast between the other two operations that the buttons provide. That's about it! This is an internal-only tool, but I think that editing specifications using this small purpose-built utility will be easier than us using Excel to do the same thing. Overall impressions of the Flat UI 2.0 library: Pros: good selection of commonly used buttons and controls, consistent theme across numerics, strings, enums, file paths, and buttons - makes a consistent UI easy to build Color customization of buttons is easy, including customization of the hover-state (which I did to the 'X' button on the home screen of the utility) Wishlist: As with any library of icons and UI elements - a wider selection. I had a hard time finding icons for my 'Add Specification' wizard screen and had to reach pretty far Design palette only launches when using the left ctrl+shift buttons, it'd be nice for it to work with either left or right Cons: Working with the String controls and indicators was a little strange. There are actually two resizable elements in a single control, one for the frame/background and one for the actual text field. I had to be careful when resizing the control to make sure that both fields were resized correctly. Also the front panel snapping meant that the border around the text area was easy to lose if the text field itself was resized incorrectly. I will probably continue to use the UI library for the internal only developer tools, but for the main applications that I'm working on there is still heavy customization specific to my company that I will continue to have to do. Thanks for reading - feel free to ask any questions about the design choices or other elements of the UI for this tool.
1 pointYou're really making me think harder now about my cons and wishlists! Thanks to you and the team for the continued refinement of the tool!
1 pointHello JKI Team & Community, I'm having trouble activating the JKI Design Palette, specifically requesting the activation code. Labview throws an Network Time Limit Error when submitting the mail adress (see attached image). The error is consistent within the corporate network (proxy/firewall) and on the unrestricted mobile hotspot. Using Windows 10, Labview 2015 (32bit) Looking forward to trying the new controls, Cheers
1 pointI think I might be able to share this specific utility I'm working on. It's a very small piece in the big picture of what I'm working on, and I use little utilities like this to try out new toolkits, modules, or LabVIEW components to see what might be worth bringing into our more mainstream code. In this case, the utility I'm working on is an accuracy specification management tool. I can probably post a few screenshots and thoughts on the UI development once I finish it up.
1 pointAh - yep, that worked! I usually try and keep my styles separate from the data types, rather than have my type defs styled a certain way, too. But I think for the convenience of not having to recreate my enum and still have it linked to the typedef then this is worth it. Thanks again Jim Edit: I opened my classic enum typdef, replaced it with the jki one, then to avoid replacing all instances of the type def with the JKI one, I went back to my front panel that I wanted to change, used the quick drop shortcut ctrl + p and selected my typedef. That replaced just the instances with the JKI enum, then I went back to my typedef and reverted it to the boring classic style.
1 pointGot it - thanks Jim.
1 pointI get this error when trying to submit feedback from the Design Palette: Could be related to me having to do an offline activation?
1 pointTo pair with the 'Save' and 'Save As' buttons, it'd be nice to have built-in buttons for other common file operations. Take the File menu from Windows 10 Wordpad as an example. The ones missing from this would be 'New', 'Load', 'Email', and 'Exit'.
1 pointI knew there should be an alternative 🤓
1 pointI used the previous "light" themed Flat UI Controls in my application and was excited about the update. There is no "light" theme in Flat UI 2.0 (or I'm missing something)? Regards Christoph
1 pointHi @Antoine Chalons. Can you please try out the new 1.0.1 release and let us know if this resolves your issue. I think we've fixed it, and would love to hear your feedback.
1 pointI'm having the same issue, looking forward to a fix.
1 pointHi Jim Yes i am able to use the palette if not scrolling. It is not freezing after a period of time. Below are also some observations: The palette will freeze if I: Select "System theme" from the combo box (the classic and flat works fine) Maximize the palette The palette will NOT freeze if a I scroll with a limited number of controls shown (for example when filtering to show only boolean controls)
1 pointDear JKI Team, unfortunately the VIPM could not download the JKI Design Palette from the remote server. No problems with other packages. Kind regards from Germany and thanks for your really great tools! Peter
1 pointCan i Link this case structure viewer to my existing case structure. i already created one VI using Enum based state machine.Now i want to convert it to JKI state machine.is there any possibility to convert with minimum changes instead of re-implementing.
1 pointHi JKI team, Firstly I want to thank you for generating the REST toolkit for LabVIEW, it seems pretty easy to connect the IoT cloud. I do, have some glitches when using it. I came across to this youtube demo ( Are you able to make an example to show how to use the tool? If that takes a while, would you please comment on 1. What's the input of Base URL? I used "api.favoriot.com" in my case. 2. Do you define the apiKey in one of the Default Headers? I did this but didn't seem to get anywhere. Your help is appreciated.
1 pointNever mind. It appears my JKI state machine was a older version after the upgrade I was able to access explorer option.
1 pointHello everyone, Fist of all thank you for your Tools that are very helpfull. I'm trying to use the HTTP JKI REST drivers with an HTTPS website but I need to go trough a Proxy. How is it possible to desribe the PROXY settings with this driver? Thank you by advance.
1 pointOpen "Compare to Constant.xnode" with a text editor. Near the bottom, delete the two items "Untitled 4 (SubVI)" and "Untitled 5 (SubVI)" Then it will build.
1 pointHi @Jim Kring Thanks for the update
1 pointHello. I am trying to make a measurement program. Since this measurement takes a long time, it is necessary to be interrupted by the user's operation so that it can return to the measurement standby state. Is there a smarter way than inserting lots of checking the local variable of the break button during the measurement sequence?
1 pointHi @Jim Kring , I have tried out the new build(3.0.2) and it works fine for me. Thanks for the immediate fix Thanks, Bhargavi Gowri.
1 pointHi @JimKring, I have moved to the approach of creating the DOM reference in setUp.vi of Test Suite. I will let you know if I face any problem. For now, Thanks, Bhargavi Gowri.
1 pointHi @JimKring I have attached the sample project, which demonstrates the issue that I am facing. I have also attached the image, which shows the DOM ref values in New.vi of test suite and setUp.vi of the test case. Please let me know if you need any details. Thanks, Bhargavi Gowri. Sample Code.zip
1 pointThis has been officially released in Caraya 0.6!
1 pointIt would be nice if we could re-install a specific package. I had some crosslinking between 8.6 and 8.5 (my fault) so I wanted to revert a package. This couldn't be done, so I had to install an older version of the package and sequentially install the newest version. Ton
1 pointHi Ton, That's a great idea -- we've noticed that we need that feature, too. It's on our roadmap. Thanks, -Jim

Ok, here we go! Today I'm sharing my recipe for a real southern staple. Bev, this one is for you. She asked about a stewed okra recipe. I'm thrilled to please! Stewed okra and tomatoes can be served as a side item and is also used in classic Cajun Gumbo. Several people shy away from okra because they are a bit slimy after they are cooked. That's what makes them a great thickening agent for the gumbo. This recipe is loaded with flavor and can certainly stand on its own. Give it a try!
Stewed Okra and Tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups yellow onion, large dice
- 6 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
- 3 cups fresh okra, sliced in 1/4 to 1/2 inch pieces
- 3 cups roma tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh black pepper
Add olive oil to a 3-quart or larger saucepan and heat over medium high temperature. Add the onions and sauté for a few minutes until soft and translucent then add the garlic and stir well, sauté for a few more minutes. Add the okra, tomatoes and red wine vinegar and stir well to incorporate. Bring to a boil. Add the bay leaf and fresh herbs stirring well then reduce heat to a slow simmer and cover. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring about every 10 minutes. Season to taste with the salt and pepper, and serve. Enjoy!

As I have spoken with others a little bit about Lent this season, and as I have experienced it in myself, I have been finding that there are 2 attitudes that we can so quickly and easily take on when we deny ourselves something and when we suffer to any extent. One is an attitude of self-pity. "Poor me, I can't have this/do that", "Can't everyone see how much i am suffering here?" The other attitude is one of pridefulness. "I am doing such a good job of this. I can take charge of this/that in my life, I am doing a really good job of controlling this/that". Both of these attitudes can be incredibly destructive and pull us so far away from the center of it all, so far from Christ.
I have a daily devotional that has become incredibly relevant and significant in my life. In the past week or so there have been 2 entries that have stood out to me, which have corresponded with my thoughts about these attitudes of self-pity and pride that I believe can take hold of us all quite easily.
The entries are written in the perspective of God speaking to his children- words and scriptures which the Lord laid on author Sarah Young's heart. I would love to share them here.
from Jesus Calling, by Sarah Young
"Be on guard against self-pity. When you are weary or unwell, this demonic trap is the greatest danger you face. Don't even go near the edge of the pit. Its edges crumble easily, and before you know it, you are on the way down. It is ever so much harder to get out of the pit than to keep a safe distance from it. That is why I tell you to be on guard.
There are several ways to protect yourself from self-pity. When you are occupied with praising and thanking Me, it is impossible to feel sorry for yourself. Also, the closer you live to Me, the more distance there is between you and the pit. Live in the Light of My Presence by 'fixing your eyes on Me' then you will be able 'to run with endurance the race that is set before you' without stumbling or falling.
Psalm 89:15-16, Hebrews 12:1-2"
"Rest in My Presence, allowing me to take charge of this day. Do not bolt into the day like a race-horse suddenly released. Instead, walk purposefully with Me, letting Me direct your course one step at a time. Thank Me for each blessing along the way; this brings joy to both you and Me. A grateful heart protects you from negative thinking. Thankfulness enables you to see the abundance I shower upon you daily. Your prayers and petitions are winged into heaven's throne room when they are permeated with thanksgiving. 'In everything give thanks, for this is My will for you'.
Colossians 4:2, 1 Thessalonians 5:18"
One thing that provides some sort of solution to these attitudes of self-pity and pride is thankfulness. Having a heart full of praise. Recognizing that the Lord is providing for me and directing my path. He sees me and He knows me. He knows when I hurt and suffer, and He is a God of great love, mercy, and provision. He is in control- leading and guiding. I am not in charge of that [and that is certainly a good thing!]. When we give glory to Him for these things, He wants to bless us in return. He honors it. We are filled with joy. We are strengthened. We live in His Marvelous Light.
So I will try to go through my days with a song of praise on my lips. I will try to have thankfulness on every breath. I will do my best to give glory to my Lord in all things.
I am reminded of one of my favorite songs by a band called Page France. The song is called Jesus. I have posted a link below to the website where the song can be heard, and also a link to where you can find the lyrics.

Visiting A Dynasty34.7466° N, 113.6253° E
"The Temple in Zhengzhou is still considered an important school of Buddhism to this day"
Zhengzhou is located in the Henan Province of China; it is one of the country's fastest growing cities with an estimated population of nine million plus. Despite its exponential growth, it has preserved every detail of its history. As a country, China has recorded history of 5,000 years thus making it one of the world's earliest civilizations. With that being said, we ventured to Zhengzhou to take in their rich heritage, bustling urban life and more.
Our accommodations for the duration of our stay was at the Sheraton Zhengzhou hotel, which is conveniently located to nearby shopping complexes, restaurants, and the Chinese High Speed Railway. It was from there where we could step out and see the expansive urban landscape and the wide intersections that guide the citizens as they go about their day. Not far is the city's most ancient relics and gardens. It is a place where the past and the future meet almost seamlessly.
Our trip began with a visit to Millennium City Park, which is home to structures belonging to the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127). Their Dragon Pavilion Lake is a grand cultural garden, while the Iron Padoga (which actually built from bricks) gets its name from the Iron-like colour it has developed over centuries. We then ventured to Jiaozuo, a city that sits on the northern bank of the Yellow River. There, we came to see the Yuntai Mountain and its breathtaking landscape. The Yuntai waterfall is 314 meters tall and looks as if it is connecting the land to the sky. We traversed its lush trails to reach Cornel Peak, the highest peak of Yuntai Mountain, which is about 1,308 meters (4,291 feet) above sea level. We paid a visit to Relic Park of Sui and Tang Dynasties. At its peak, the Tang Dynasty established China as one of the strongest companies during the ancient era. And what we saw during our time there was the remnants of their former glory!
One of our favourite moments was visiting the Shaolin Temple and the Songyang Academy. The Temple in Zhengzhou is still considered an important school of Buddhism to this day. The Academy was created in the 8th year of Taihe, during the reign of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Up until this day, it has served as a quiet place for scholars to disconnect, step away from worldly distractions, and focus on learning. Within the temple, students learn about the Shaolin Kung Fu, the art of meditation, as well as Buddhism's religious practices.

When I decided to intern at an education start-up in North India this past summer, I had no idea what to expect.
I entered the summer with many opinions and questions about education. What I didn't realize was that I also carried plenty of ingrained assumptions about education that I never even considered to be assumptions. And as most people find, spending time abroad highlighted my own value system and my own perspectives because they differed so sharply from those I encountered in India.
Some Background
I should caution that India is an incredibly diverse country, so what I describe cannot be generalized to all of India, despite some broad similar
I was interning in Yamuna Nagar, a small industrial city that is considered a "non tier-1 town," in terms of population, wealth, and access to resources. I and the three other Penn students with me were the only foreigners around town. I used to joke that I expected us to cause a car accident here because all the drivers were so busy staring at us that they barely watched the road.
The Organization
I was interning with Leap Skills Academy, a "skill development" company. The premise of their work is that companies have many job openings and many young people are seeking jobs, but that there is a gap between the skills employers are seeking and those that young people have after graduating college. So the company offers programs for college students and for college-age young people who never pursued post-secondary education. These programs consist of courses in a variety of areas, including IT, English/business communication, retail, and what they call "recruitment preparation" – which guides the students through the standardized hiring process used by most large Indian corporations.
In addition to this overarching mission statement, the organization promotes a pedagogical philosophy of experiential learning. My bosses believed very strongly that the Indian education system teaches kids to study hard for tests from books, but doesn't nurture teamwork, confidence, or creativity. These are skills, Leap staff emphasize, that will help their students not only get hired, but advance up the corporate ladder.
The Questions
I realized pretty quickly that I was troubled by LEAP's single-minded focus on employment. Everything I've ever learned about experiential learning (and I researched it a lot this summer for Leap) has made me believe that it's all about fostering creativity and critical thinking. Indeed so much of my passion for education has stemmed from the belief that good teachers have the power to transform a child's life by fostering in them a love of learning, a passion for creativity, and a confidence in their own ability to succeed.
All, in other words, very lofty goals.
Of course I see education as a key to questions of socio-economic mobility, and I understand that a strong education can empower the underserved and disenfranchised. And yet I've always been really troubled by an outlook that sees education solely as a bridge to employment. I'm also wary of approaches that seem to steer poorer kids towards vocational tracks. No matter the justification, I will never stop believing that every child deserves a well-rounded, multi-faceted education, and then they can choose to do whatever they want – whether that's be a plumber, a lawyer, or a multimedia installation artist.
Yet my firm convictions about education wavered in the face of the Indian reality. My boss, Megha, who's incredibly passionate about her work, explained to me that her country is facing a crisis. India has the world's largest youth population, with over 50% of its population under 25. That's 356 million people in the age range from 10-24. In just a few years, median age in India will be 29 years (for some context in America the median age is 37). Add to this the fact that India lacks the equivalent of American vocational schools or community colleges, so middle class students who aren't from large urban centers like Delhi or Mumbai have no way of developing practical skills that would make companies want to hire them.
Very simply, these young people need jobs and have no way of getting them.
As with all other issues in India, the numbers feel staggering. There are more young people under 25 in India than there are people in the US. So I was forced to ask myself: I am approaching this through the eyes of first world privilege? What do you do if you're someone like Megha, a 30-something talented, upper class, ambitious person who wants to address issues of Indian education? Do you talk about instilling a passion for learning, or do you talk about developing a sustainable model that could help employ hundreds of millions of youth?
So that left me wondering whether the issue was my idealism or their pragmatism.
I think often in education these two come into conflict.
Take high-stakes standardized testing. I know it bothers me how much testing matters in the lives of low-income public school students. I know that in my own very rigorous private school education, I never once had to worry about what would happen to my school or my teachers if I did badly on a standardized test. School should be a stimulating learning environment, where teachers have the freedom to experiment with out-of-the-box techniques that excite their students. But then I'm confronted with the questions of the pragmatist: how do we make sure students are learning and making progress?
I'm not sure how to reconcile these two – I imagine as with most issues the key is a happy medium: some sort of compromise that strives for idealism and yet does not reject pragmatism.
My time with LEAP certainly forced me to consider the pragmatics more than before. Yet I can't shake the feeling that when it comes to education, if we surrender too much of our idealism, we lose the very essence of what we were fighting for in the first place.

The Middle East - tips
|In short
|Lots to see, lots of tensions and an extremely friendly population.
|For ruins and historical life, go to
Palmyra and Crac de Chevaliers of Syria, Petra of Jordan and of course most of Egypt,
including Giza, Luxor and the Abu Simbel. On the Arab Peninsula, the old city of Sana,
Yemen, beats any other place in the region.
For people, almost anywhere will do, however, personal favourites are Aleppo and Damascus in Syria and the western highlands of Yemen. Egypt is not bad either, however, for all places you have to get away from the tourist traps where people tend to be much less friendly. A few years ago, a place like Luxor was just great, however, these days it seems to be filled with vultures trying to lure the flood of tourists into yet another tourist trap.
Even one of my own favourites, Syria, has suffered from tourist related unfriendliness, proved by the huge difference in attitude I experienced in 2001 and 2008, respectively. In 2001, I seemed to be the only tourist in an extremely friendly country, whereas 2008 showed an exploding flood of tourists and a severe decrease in friendliness.
For nature, the Middle East is less interesting, however, the mountainous deserts of Yemen, the central-western higlands of Oman and the Wadi Rum of Jordan are great places to enjoy the dry nature of the Arab world, and so is the Lake Nasser and Sinai regions of Egypt.
The Gulf Region is actually quite pleasant but a bit expensive. On the other hand, it's great to fool around with absolutely no other tourists to mess up things. Especially rewarding if you just come from the tourist hordes of Luxor.
Photo samples: Mixed Middle East, Egypt & Yemen.
Slide shows (in Danish): Yemen, Mixed Middle East & Eritrea and Western Yemen.
Relevant articles (in Danish, sorry): Islam, Islamic Dictionary, Syrian Wrestling.
Related topics are: Iran, Afghanistan.
|Places to avoid
|Despite a number of recent terrorist
attacks, there are not really any particular place to avoid - apart from
certain places in Iraq. Women
should avoid Yemen and, in particular, Saudi Arabia without male companionship. Syria,
Oman, Qatar, Emirates and Bahrain are somewhere "in the middle" with regards to
single women travelers, while Israel, Jordan and the torist resorts of Egypt are the
countries where the people are the most accostumed to women tourists. That
doesn't guarantee against harrassment, unfortunately.
If you, like me, detest tourist traps and extremely pushy tourist vultures, stay away from the touristy places of Egypt! Luxor, Aswan and Giza have turned into horrible places with incredibly inflated prices and reduced friendliness. Alexandria and Rasheed are much better.
|In the north, the European spring and fall are the best, whereas travellers to Yemen, Oman and the Gulf will prefer to go there in the winter, where the temperature is a bit more bearable. In Afghanistan and Iran, the temperatures are extreme, so avoid the bitterly cold winters as well as the blistering summers.
|Do's and don'ts
|Lots. The Middle east is the
birthplace of the Prophet Mohammad, and Muslims rule apply - everywhere! Saudi is the
worst, while Egypt, Syria and Jordan are much more easygoing. Still, no shorts apart from
the Egyptian beaches, skip the beers and don't eat or drink in public during the Ramadan.
Apart from Saudi and Yemen, much less strict than Afghanistan, and people have seen quite a few Westerners and accepted at least some of our strange habits.
And - don't mention the war, the Iraq one, that is. And, if you happen to be Danish, the Mohammed cartoons are never going to win you any friends either. freedom of speech just doesn't exist the way we know it, and Middle East people find it very hard to accept that it's legal to insult their prophet.
|Depends where you are going, but for most countries yes. Syria, Lebanon, Jordan are easy to get at the borders / airports. UAE and Oman hand out visas at the borders and airports, and so do Bahrain and Qatar. Saudi is the only impossible one, unless you are a Muslim going Haji pilgrimage or work in the country.
|Value for money
|Varies a lot. The Gulf States are bloody expensive, while Yemen, Syria and Jordan are excellent value - and much more interesting, and Egypt is even better value!
|Enjoy the "terrorist region" of the world. Most likely, it's the most hospitable too, however, don't expect extreme friendliness in the Gulf States. People, in particular in Qatar, Bahrain and the Emirates, are more reserved than in Egypt and Syria, though not unfriendly. Just reserved and more difficult to get in contact with.

Notts has been our home since starting the University of Nottingham in 2014 (?!?!) and we love it, life as a graduate in Nottingham is cheap and cheerful. It's got a vibrant foodie scene, a huge variety of independent shops and it's generally just a quality place to live all round.
We both work in digital marketing in Notts city centre and our commute is a good 5 minute walk so we spend literally all of our time in the NG1 (not the club anymore). For this reason it features heavily in our blog is probably what many of our followers know us for.
We blog about Nottingham's restaurants, take snaps of Robin Hood or tweet about bloody great local businesses that we want others to support. There is a whole host of other Notts bloggers here and we're relatively new in that respect, but we're happy to be contributing to a wider digital scene. We personally despise the 'lifestyle blogger' name as anyone that writes about their life can then slap that tag on, but it'll do for the moment. We just want to write content about things that interest us, feed us, or engage with us and we hope that comes across in whatever you read on here.
If you want some quick tips on the best vegetarian restaurants in Nottingham or the top vegan food spots in Notts check our respective blog posts there.
If you're working on anything to do with Nottingham or simply want some restaurant recommendations, send us an email or find us on most social media platforms @AtlasFootprints.

The English language is a world wide language for many reasons. One of the reasons is because English is so precise. Or it can be, when used correctly.
These days it often seems words are used as a club simply to try to beat people into submission on a variety of beliefs.
I wrote about obesity on Monday this week. Real obesity is a serious issue. A person who is seriously over weight or obese may have many health issues and a shortened life span. However, labeling people like me, who are neither over weight nor obese as being obese, is what I mean by "Word Inflation."
Word Inflators over react to information. Everything is a crisis. Everything is an epidemic. The world is always coming to an end.
It would be OK if all Word Inflators did was talk. But they want to do more. They want to ban things they do not like for EVERYBODY.
So Word Inflators use emotional words to proselytizing their belief system. People guilty of Word Inflation over state and exaggerate their case. They magnify fears people may have way out of proportion. For instance: sugar = cocaine.
Word Inflation often has a monetary component to it as well. Some people use Word Inflation to scare you into buying a very expensive product or pill they are hawking.
I bring this up today because this week the Word Inflators went ballistic over a news report.
This week reports of a study from France said that refined sugar is far more addictive than cocaine. Of course, the Food Police (blood relatives of Word Inflators) went ballistic and immediately wanted to ban sugar in all its various forms.
Do you see the scare words in there? More. Cocaine. The Word Inflators have conflated sugar and one of the most addictive substances know to human kind, cocaine. Oh my word! We will have drug crazed people crawling all over the grocery store aisles trying to get their fix.
This French study is not the first study that found sugar is addictive. Many studies have shown such a link.
Is sugar really as additive as cocaine?
How can we separate the wheat from the chaff?
First of all, the body NEEDS sugar to survive, especially the brain. Why Your Body Needs Sugar.
So now that fact is out of the way, let's take a closer look at our question; is sugar really as adictive as cocaine?
A great place to start is at Penn State University.
First they ask the question: Is sugar habit forming?
In medical terms, a substance is addictive if it:
*induces a pleasant state or relieves distress,
* causes long-term chemical changes in the brain,
*leads to adaptive changes in the brain that trigger tolerance, physical dependence and uncontrollable cravings,
* causes dependence, so that abstaining is difficult and creates severe physical and mental reactions.
Jan Ulbrecht, associate professor in biobehavioral health and medicine in the College of Health and Human Development at PennState does not think so [Emphasis mine.]:
"Since the human body does not become physically dependent on sugar the way it does on opiates like morphine and heroin, sugar is not addictive," he argues." [Emphasis mine.]
The article goes on to recap several studies and as real scientists do, and they leave the question open for more study.
One of the things in the discussion that caught my attention was this:
In several of the noted rat studies, Corwin notes, the rats were given extremely large amounts of sugar, up to 46 percent of total caloric intake. Sugar makes up about 15 to 28 percent of total energy in the average American diet.
In that paragraph you can see a real life example of Word Inflation at work. In some studies the rats were given far more sugar than most Americans actually consume. No wonder the rats became addicted. The study seems to have been loaded to make the rats addicted in order to 'prove' the sugar hater's belief.
You can read the entire Penn State article here: Is sugar addictive?
Another article comes to about the same conclusion as Penn State. I think. Sugar is an Addictive Drug? Eh…Sort Of by Jake Young is full of scientific lingo. It is the kind of article that makes reading scientific treatises so difficult. In other words, it is full of qualifiers. Yes, this occurred but it could mean this or this or this and more study is needed.
BTW, that is how real scientists talk. No Word Inflation in this article. Here is the most useful quote:
Some news articles in reference to this research that say that "sugar as addictive as a drug." This is not accurate. Sugar is addictive as a drug in the sense that they appear to use similar mechanisms, but this has nothing to do with the degree of addictiveness.
Sugar may be mechanistically similar to crack in terms of addictiveness, but I have never heard of someone stealing a car radio to get a Twinkie. It is likely that the quantity of drug required to get "addicted" to sugar is quite much higher. It is likely that "withdrawal" from sugar shows a statistically significant behavioral change in rats, but nothing like the withdrawal from cocaine. [Emphasis mine.]
So saying that something has a similar mechanism says nothing about the relative addictiveness of substances.
What To Do?
All I know is that I am not giving up my chocolate based on any of these so called studies. As far as I am concerned the jury is out on this question, with the evidence pointing to sugar NOT being addictive like cocaine is addictive.
On this issue I am drawing a line in the sugar!
Featured Recipe Bacon Wrapped Corn
I know I am rushing the season. However, in my defense, the grocery store has had fresh corn-on-the-cob prominently displayed in the produce department for several weeks now. I mean, it was inevitable that I would succumb to temptation. And I am not the least bit sorry either.
Just look at it this way. You have advance notice about this scrum-deli-ishous recipe before the corn season starts. The first time I saw the corn in the store this year this was the only recipe that popped into my head.
There are dozens of versions of this recipe. Mine is more like Martha Stewart's found in the June 2011 edition of Everyday Food. The slight differences are I use regular pepper not cayenne pepper.
I also add some butter to the finished corn. My neighbors and friends gave me that idea. As they told me, "You can't have corn-on-the-cob without butter." You know what!? They are right!
I have tried other version of this recipe that use herbs or spices on the corn. Many are good, however I prefer tasting more of the corn as this simple recipe allows me to do.
Play around and see what kind of combination you like best.
This is also as fast and easy a recipe as you can make. It is so easy and looks so elegant on a plate with any meat entrée. Easy elegant. Delicious. I like.
The fact that it is also fast and easy makes it a near perfect recipe! The fact that the dish is so inexpensive does make it the perfect side dish!
This is what you will need for 4 servings:
2 ears of corn on the cob
2 slices of bacon
Salt and pepper to taste
Butter (4 teaspoons)
NOTE: You will also need 4 toothpicks to secure the bacon. Soak these in water for about 5 minutes before using. This will prevent the toothpicks from catching fire while under the broiler.
Here is what you do:
Turn on your broiler.
Shuck and wash the corn. Dry corn completely.
Using a corn brush remove all the corn silk.
Cut the ends off the corn. Then cut the corn in half.
Sprinkle the salt and pepper over all sides of the corn.
Wrap a piece of the bacon around each ear of corn and secure with a toothpick, and place on a baking sheet.
Broil for about 10-15 minutes. (Broilers vary. Yours may need less or more time.)
Turn the corn often during the broiling. Broil until bacon is crispy and the corn is tender and slightly charred.
Sprinkle with more salt and pepper if desired. Serve with a pat of butter.
Eat and enjoy and I know you will. This is one tasty corn-on-the-cob!
Bon appétit!!!
2 ears of corn on the cob $1.00
2 slices of bacon $0.50
Salt and pepper to taste
Butter $0.41
Total cost for 4 servings =$1.91
Cost per serving =$0.48

The listing of India's first Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) by Blackstone-backed Embassy Group may now be a reality and it is good news for the real estate sector that has been experiencing severe liquidity crunch.
In a few days, any investor who has a 'small appetite' perhaps as small as Rs 2 lakh, can now think of investing in Grade A commercial real estate. What this means is that you can now consider adding real estate to your portfolio with a much lower amount.
REITs are investment vehicles that own, operate and manage a portfolio of income-generating properties for regular returns. REITable properties in our country will include commercial assets – primarily office spaces – that can generate steady rental income. They will operate like mutual funds or shares. REITs will have to be mandatorily listed on exchanges and traded like securities. Small investors can buy units of REITs from both primary and secondary markets just as they buy shares or mutual funds.
As per REITs guidelines, 80 percent of the company's assets must be invested in completed projects, and only 20 percent will be in under-construction projects, equity shares, money market instruments, cash equivalents, and real estate activities. To ensure regular income to investors, it has been mandated to distribute at least 90 percent of the net distributable cash flows to the investors at least twice a year.
What are REITs?
A REIT is an investment vehicle that owns and operates real estate-related assets and allows individual investors to earn income produced through ownership of commercial real estate without actually having to buy any assets. It may later even include hotels, hospitals and convention centres and even common infrastructure for composite real estate projects such as industrial parks and special economic zones (SEZs)
Why was the need felt to launch REITs?
According to a report titled REIT-able Space in India A Closer Reality by Knight Frank and KPMG, the government's demonetisation decision accentuated the case for REIT. From the REIT perspective, the decline in government bond yields and the overall interest rate regime has increased the spread with prime office properties. This has led to the compression of capitalisation rate for prime office assets that are perfect candidates for REITs.
When were they notified?
Although the regulations were notified in 2014, developers shied away from listing REITs due to tax and regulatory issues. However, a majority of these issues have been addressed through tax and regulatory changes.
How will REITs help the real estate sector?
Currently, developers incur huge capital expenditure especially in Commercial Real Estate (CRE) on land, construction, interior fit-outs, etc. which remain locked, even after the asset is complete until it generates returns to break-even. Through REIT, the developers and private equity funds can exit from the completed asset, and focus on development activity, which has a different risk-return profile. This is possible as REITs improve liquidity in the sector and help attract investment from local and global investors, who prefer a recurring, safe and moderate yield income.
REITs also allow developers to exit partially from the asset while the units listed on the exchange will keep them abreast with the underlying asset value, and help in raising finance at a better valuation.
Who can invest?
The entry point for an investor is as low as Rs 2 lakh.
The projected return on investment is anywhere between 8-14 percent in the short to medium term (post adjustment of the fund management fee), with minimum risks. REITs are far less volatile than the stock market, FDs, mutual funds and gold because as per regulations 80 percent of the REITs must be of rent-generating assets, said Shobhit Agarwal, MD & CEO – ANAROCK Capital
A lot of institutional capital is chasing the limited supply of investible Grade A office stock across top property markets. Therefore, the rents for these listed properties are very likely to rise steadily, and the contractual terms will be far more structured and transparent.
What asset classes can be included?
Grade A commercial real estate. Many commercial leased assets across cities such as Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune and NCR have steadily mounting interest from occupiers and investors and vacancy levels have been declining in prime locales.
ANAROCK data indicates while commercial real estate supply across the top seven cities declined 24 percent in 2017 (after demonetisation, RERA and GST) over the preceding year, 2018 saw a 21 percent on-year jump in new commercial supply. Office space absorption remained steady with an increase of 5 percent year-on-year (YoY) in 2017, and 19 percent YoY in 2018 in the top seven cities.
Data suggests nearly 50 percent of total office stock in India can qualify for REITs from 30 percent two years ago.
What has been excluded?
Residential real estate is not included under REITs as is the case in developed global markets.
Experts say the lack of a sound and inclusive rental policy in India proves to be a major hurdle for REITs in the residential segment unlike countries such as Singapore and the US that have a defined rental policy.
Also, the yield on residential projects in India is nowhere near those of developed countries and hovers between 2-3 percent even in prime locales. Low returns and overall negative hype in recent years have led India's residential sector to lose its candidature for REITs at least in the foreseeable future, explained Agarwal.
The proposed taxation structure is also an area of concern. As in the more developed countries with successful REIT platforms, India too must offer a logical tax regime with a single point of taxation to rise to globally comparable stature.
Expected ROI
A realistic return on investment (RoI) expectation would be in the range of 7-8 percent annually, after adjusting the fund management fee. Investors can earn two types of income from REITs; through capital gains on the sale of REIT units and a dividend income.
Will investors stop putting in money in conventional commercial real estate?
Small investors, who found the prohibitive high barrier to investing in real estate to be a deterrent, will now be encouraged to invest small amounts in REITs.
Small investors who had started looking at affordable housing as an investment option, may also look at REITs.
But the segment that invests crores in conventional commercial real estate, especially the HNIs, may not immediately stop putting money in commercial real estate. Corporate and institutional investors could also include REITs in their portfolio mix.
However, it is still early days for the Indian REIT market and it will take time for them to displace direct investment into commercial real estate, explains Anckur Srivasttava, Chairman, GenReal Property Advisers (P) Ltd.
"Just as investors never stopped including shares as part of their portfolio when mutual funds were launched, similarly investors will continue to invest in REITs as well as conventional commercial real estate. REITs will complement their direct investments in commercial real estate," he adds.
Therefore, a very large pool of investors will, for the first time, will now have access to a professionally managed portfolio of Grade-A properties leased to top-notch tenants in prime locations. This is a quantum leap in the evolution of Indian commercial real estate markets and the Indian REIT market is expected to grow very rapidly, he says.
Impact on co-working spaces
The trend of co-working or flexible working spaces will complement and act as a catalyst to the growth of institutional capital in commercial real estate. It is a given that wherever commercial office spaces receive institutional capital, they should also be in a position to cater to the needs of small Grade A occupiers. "Grade A commercial buildings require flexible spaces to complete and complement their offerings. What this means is that they would have to necessarily provide for the flexible space option," he said.
On the flipside
The success of REITs in India will depend on benefits to investors. Currently, a plethora of taxes may make REITs unattractive. For instance, when a REIT sells shares of assets, the capital gains are taxable. In contrast, in the UK where REITs have been operating for over a decade, there is no taxation on income and gains from their property rental business. Instead, shareholders are taxed on REIT-related property income when it is distributed, and some investors may even be exempt from tax altogether.

Soul-Dancer (Page 32)
for them, while Myra packed the beach bags, and Kelly found some towels in the cupboard. Zak searched a directory to find the nearest beach, and Fraya just sat around painting her nails, and getting dressed in her bikini. Myra got out her purse and asked Zak where the beach was. "Just around the corner. It isn't very far from here." he replied. Everyone was excited as they filed out the door. Except for one thing. Kelly had stayed back.
The Director smiled as six images filled the computer screen in front of him. Kelly smiled into one of the six cameras she had carefully placed in Akiko's apartment and made a 'V' with her fingers. She had infiltrated the girl's apartment. There were only four days, four hours, fifty-two minutes and fifty seconds left until Storm Cloud destroyed Japan. This time, he thought, the bad guys will win.
When they got to the beach, Kelly lay down and started sun baking, while the others went for a swim in the ocean. "Don't you think it's a bit strange that Kelly is sun baking on the beach instead of swimming in the ocean with us? It's like she and Fraya swapped personalities." Myra whispered to Zak as they jumped over yet another wave. Zak just shrugged and said, "Who cares? I know I'd prefer Kelly way, way over there, rather than over here." Zak's words contained a harshness that Myra would never be able to encompass. In an attempt to lighten the mood, Akiko said, "Don't worry about that. We're at the beach, remember?" Akiko then muttered something about preparing lunch and waded off towards the shore. Zak, laughing, splashed both Fraya and Myra with a massive spurt of water, making them giggle. Myra retaliated by sending an even bigger spurt towards him, knocking him underneath the waves. Moments later, they saw Akiko waving them back to the shore.

If you're new to the dispensary experience, or you're still navigating the process, it's important to understand the role your budtender plays. Here at Mynt, we take great pride in training and educating our budtenders to ensure that they're qualified to assist you. Still, to make sure you're getting exactly what you want, here are three things to know before talking to your budtender.
Are you planning to use cannabis as medicine? Are you seeking it for specific or generalized pain relief, to help manage anxiety or depression, to boost appetite or help quell insomnia? Whatever your need, make sure to bring this up to your budtender.
Likewise, if your goal is simply recreational, consider how much and what kind of a psychoactive experience are you hoping to achieve. Are you chasing feelings of energy and joy, or relaxed sedation? Your tolerance will play a big part in this, so be upfront with your cannabis use so that your budtender can help you dose appropriately.
There are many, many ways to consume cannabis, so don't worry that smoking is your only option. You can eat edibles, drink beverages, take a tincture, swallow capsules, even bathe in an infused soak. Consider which methods sound appealing to you, and be prepared to share that information with your budtender. It will help him or her narrow down recommendations.
This information piggybacks your preferred consumption method. How long do you want to feel effects? It's always a good idea to plan how and when you'll be consuming, so that you can choose the right product and consumption method. Edibles, for instance, can take a while to trigger effects but they'll last much longer than dabbing, which is often a quicker, more intense experience.
Unfortunately, there is no standardized process for hiring or training budtenders. The screening process is left entirely to the discretion of individual dispensaries. So how does that work here at Mynt?
We have an on-staff cannabis expert, Cayden, who serves as our education supervisor. He educates each employee on everything from speaking and engaging with patients to the best way to inquire about ailments and how to identify which products will be effective. Our budtenders are also educated on individual cannabinoids, terpenes and other components in the cannabis plant, as well as their effects on the body. In addition, they study adverse reactions and the positives and negatives to each consumption method.
Mynt also has an on-staff security supervisor who can explain the safety side of working in cannabis and keeping it around the house in an appropriate and responsible manner. Finally, the head of compliance at Mynt trains staff on safety and staying current on the laws in Nevada. Understanding cannabis inside and out is always our goal, and we take it seriously.
So what does that mean? If you're shopping at Mynt, Reno's only downtown dispensary, you can be sure that our experienced budtenders will be seeking this kind of information, and probably more. And if you find yourself somewhere else, now you'll know exactly what to tell your budtender – even if he or she doesn't bother to ask.

Instructions for setting up Outlook or your phone after your email account has been upgraded to Office 365
If you use Microsoft Outlook on a computer, after your account is upgraded you'll be prompted for a username and password the first time you open Outlook (note that on some versions of Outlook, the username/password prompt may come up behind the Outlook window initially, so watch out for that.) Use your full @vusd.org email address for the username and your regular password. Even if it tries to fill in your username for you (like 'abrown' or 'VUSD\abrown'), take all that out and just enter your entire @vusd.org email address (like firstname.lastname@example.com).
After you enter your email address and password, Outlook will pop up a message that says, "The Microsoft Exchange administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook." At that point, click "ok", close/re-open Outlook and everything should be good to go. If you are prompted again for a username and password, be sure to use your entire email address for the username.
Web email
For web email access, instead of going to mail.vusd.org, you'll go to https://outlook.office365.com or click on "Email – Staff Login (for Office 365 users)" from the VUSD homepage. It's right under the original "Email – Staff Login" link.
If you have your VUSD email set up on your phone, you'll need to completely remove the current VUSD email account and add it back using your @vusd.org email address and password. All iPhones and some Android phones will automatically find the new settings for you. Just add a new email account, choose "Microsoft Exchange" or "Exchange" for the type, put in your email address and password, and you'll be good to go. If you're one of the lucky ones that has an Android device that doesn't automatically find the right settings for you, here are the settings you'll need to use:
Username: your full @vusd.org email address (not just your username or vusd\username.)
Password: your current email password.
Mail server: outlook.office365.com
Domain: leave blank or use your email address if leaving it blank gives you an error.
You also have the option of removing the VUSD email account completely from your phone and then switching to the Microsoft Outlook app. Download it by searching for "Microsoft Outlook" on the App Store (iPhones) or Play Store (Android phones). It's free. The nice thing about the Microsoft Outlook App is that it works the same way on every phone regardless of it being an iPhone or Android. The setup is simple. Download it, enter your full email address and password, hit next a few times, and you're good. That's it. No more server settings to deal with.
See the following website for more detailed instructions for phones: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/set-up-office-apps-and-email-on-a-mobile-device-7dabb6cb-0046-40b6-81fe-767e0b1f014f
Here are some specific instructions for removing and re-adding the account on iPhones):
To remove account from phone:
1. Tap "Settings"
2. Then scroll to the "Passwords & Accounts" heading…
3. You will look for an existing account most likely named "Exchange" or "VUSD"…
4. Select the account then select the "Delete Account" option…
Adding account back to phone:
5. Repeat steps 1 and 2 above, then the select the "Add Account" option under accounts.
6. Select the "Exchange" account option…
7. Enter your entire e-mail address [ex: email@example.com] then select next…
8. Select "Sign In"…
9. Select "Work or school account"…
10. Enter your vusd.org password…
11. Choose which items you want to sync with your account (Mail, Contact, Calendars etc…) then click "Save".

Beginning a trails project can be intimidating but don't let it overwhelm you! This page is a list of resources to help you get started either with a single trail or a comprehensive trails plan. There are many resources already available, so instead of reinventing the wheel this page will direct you to existing resources and then localize trails plans to Arizona. This page includes a list of county, city, regional, park and other trails plans that exist in Arizona and gives examples of costs for recent trail projects in the state.
The American Trails website has a comprehensive resource listing for trail building, planning, advocacy, management and more:
The Federal Highway Administration has a listing of Manuals and Guides for Trail Design, Construction, Maintenance, and Operation, and for Signs:
The steps to finding or creating a map will vary depending on its purpose, available resources, and time frame.
Finding out what maps already exists (don't forget about aerial photographs) may be a good place to start. Your search may take you online, to a map or book store, the offices of government agencies, educational institutions, or private businesses.
If you don't find an existing map for your needs then you will have to create one. Using GPS (Global Positioning System) and GIS (Geographic Information System) to make a map is a great option. You don't need to be an expert or acquire expensive hardware and software because many city, county, state, and federal offices will have GPS and GIS resources to create a map for your project and they may provide this service at no cost.
Another possibility if you like to do things yourself is to purchase less expensive products such as Garmin's GPSMAP 76S and using their Mapsource program on your personal computer you can prepare a simple and accurate map of a trail or trail system.
USGS Topographic Maps
Google Maps
Garmin Mapping Software and Equipment
ESRI GIS & Mapping Software
Trails plans can vary greatly depending on the overall goal of the plan but there are common components of most trail plans.
