There's a patch of ground behind the lilies in Lauren's west suburban backyard garden where tomatoes won't grow. She thinks it has something to do with the soil's pH, but whatever it is, it's a fertile spot for a different kind of plant.
"Lauren," a 40-year-old sales contractor, longtime cannabis advocate, and new Illinois medical marijuana card holder, moved back home four years ago from Colorado, where she and her ex-husband were avid gardeners. She's using a pseudonym not because what she's doing is illegal, but because it used to be. Back out west they grew conventionally edible plants outside, but in their basement they had an aquaponic growing system that allowed them to raise as many as 50 cannabis plants at a time. It wasn't a big deal in pre-legal Fort Collins. "We were able to provide enough for our own consumption and provide for friends," she says. "It was kind of what everybody did."
When the couple split up and Lauren moved into her new home, she didn't want to deal with the lights, chemicals, exhaust systems, insect invasions, and overall expense one must contemplate when deciding to convert a portion of the home to cannabis cultivation. "It's a couple thousand dollars between lights and the way you're gonna do it," she says.
That spring, a friend gave her three seeds from a plant he grew that produced buds that she liked. She never knew the name of the strain, but she germinated them and put them in little pots and raised them up under a headlamp until early June or so, when they'd grown to about a foot and a half in height. Then she took them out behind the lilies and planted them where the tomatoes won't grow.
She mostly left them alone all summer, just giving them water when they needed it, until late September when they'd grown about 3½-4 bushy feet, their stems ending in narrow clusters of lime-green flowers laced with orange hairs, loaded with cannabinoids and terpenes. These she harvested and trimmed, then hung them in the garage from wire coat hangers until the chlorophyll dried up. After that, she "cured" them in Tupperware for a few weeks until they were ready for consumption.
"I'm pretty familiar with what's good quality and what's not," she says. "These were really good quality." She says she grew about six to eight ounces of cannabis flower from those three mysterious plants, enough to meet her needs through the holidays.
Illinois's newly enacted Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act allows for medical card holders to grow up to five plants per household. But the language about where they're grown is vague. Plants must be in "an enclosed locked space" where they're not "subject to ordinary public view" and are "secured from unauthorized access, including unauthorized access by a person under 21."
On its face it seems the safest place to accomplish this would be indoors. And if you decide to go that route you're in luck. The majority of educational and commercial resources available for home cannabis cultivation is geared toward the indoor grower—or what one local outdoor gardening expert I know calls "bro-growers."
Early this spring I attended a class at an indoor gardening supply store on how to grow cannabis. The instructor was another former Colorado grower, and he was armed with a wealth of information on everything you need to know about inside cultivation: seeds, strains, fertilizers, lights, pumps, timers, tents. It got complicated fast. The only thing he had to say about growing cannabis outside was this: "You don't want to do that. You won't be happy."
Well, he might not be happy, but cannabis has been happily growing outdoors, unaided by timed LED light cycles, humidifiers, and synthetic fertilizers, for thousands of years. And while the midwest isn't the Emerald Triangle, it's still a good place to grow it. As long as you have a humble patch of secluded sunlight—on a porch, a balcony, or backyard—there might not be a better time than a quarantined Chicago spring to grow your own.
"This plant grew wild all across Indiana," says Shawn Odneal, a chemist and owner of Root 66 Garden Shop in Bensenville, which specializes in indoor aqua- and hydroponic growing systems. "Even ten years ago it was still growing wild in the ditches. This is where hemp and cannabis grows in the U.S. The climate is perfect for growing cannabis outdoors—for at least one season."
Odneal says he knows as many as a dozen people who are planning to grow cannabis for personal use outdoors this year—including himself. But his qualification "at least one season" underscores a division in the world of weed cultivation between inside and out. He believes growing outside is fine for beginners, but he also thinks they should graduate to more advanced, controllable, and potentially more productive indoor gardening.
Johanna Silver believes otherwise. "A lot of these indoor cannabis growers have only grown weed indoors," says the Berkeley-based gardening expert and author of Growing Weed in the Garden: A No-Fuss, Seed-to-Stash Guide to Outdoor Cannabis Cultivation. "They really don't understand how plants grow outside. They only speak indoor cannabis cultivation. I'm probably gonna offend a lot of people, but I don't think an indoor cannabis grow is a 'garden.'"
But Silver and Odneal agree on more than they might think. They both grudgingly offer some version of the oft-repeated cliché "there's a reason it's called a 'weed.'"
For one thing, it can largely take care of itself. If you're growing outdoors with a reasonable set of expectations, there's not a lot to worry about as long as you take some fundamental, low-intensity steps. You may not duplicate that 23 percent THC hybrid redolent of kiwi and Smurf poo that disappeared from the dispensaries on January 2, but you won't pay as much for it either.
First you need seeds. At this stage in the season, Odneal recommends that outdoor growers get a hold of autoflower seeds, which he doesn't prefer for indoor growing. Plants from classic cannabis seeds are photoperiodic, meaning that after a "vegetative" growth state, they need to be exposed to a reduction in light in order to flower. That's fine indoors if you can control the light, but outside they may not have enough time to finish before the days get too cold and short. Autoflower seeds flower on their own within two to four weeks of germination. They may not produce as much as photosensitive plants, but they do it fast—and they're discreetly sized. Silver, who also generally disapproves of autoflower seeds, agrees that they are probably the right move for Chicago's climate right now.
Cannabis is also dioecious—it grows both male and female plants. Typically most people growing for consumption don't want the males, which produce seedy flowers that are thought to be less potent than seedless—aka sinsemilla—unpollinated female flowers. If you want to avoid the process of "sexing" your plants, i.e. weeding out the males that will sprout up and pollinate your females, you can buy feminized seeds, guaranteed to produce only female plants.
All manner of seeds are widely available for purchase online. A local source, Mosca Seeds, promises shipment of autoflower seeds within one to two days. Odneal, who advises legal and medical grow spaces across Chicago, can't sell seeds, but services like his will help select outdoor-appropriate strains that are good for treating specific ailments or diseases.
Once seeds are germinated, it's a matter of babying them inside until it's warm enough for them to go out for good. This means little more than keeping them under enough light until they reach a foot or so—a bright windowsill can work. Most importantly, don't overwater them, and don't overfeed them with fertilizers (in fact, don't feed them at all at this stage)—the two most common rookie mistakes, according to Odneal. "Your challenge is to get a nice healthy teenager, grown indoors, so that you've got a month and a half head start before you plant it outside," he says. That's about the same time you'd put tomatoes in the ground; in Chicago, late May to early June.
Another option this late in the game is planting clones, or cuttings from older plants. If you can find them, they're a bit more finicky. They don't have a strong taproot like seedlings do, and they need a careful transitioning period to get them used to the outdoors, according to Silver. The upside: you know you're getting a female plant.
The fun part is watching them grow. Sure, there are things to think about over the summer. Containers or soil? Maybe you need a cheap portable greenhouse to protect your girls from wind and rain. Fertilize or not? (Less is more, say Odneal and Silver.) Pests and disease can be a problem, but they can be dealt with (Lauren never had to).
Silver's book, which addresses all these matters and more, is the best, most reassuring resource I've found about growing small amounts of weed outdoors. "I am a super lazy gardener and I do not give many of my plants special love," she says. "You have to be pretty tough to survive in my garden."
It may be that the biggest problem for outdoor growers in Chicago is other people—thieves in particular. Don't be surprised if it happens, Odneal says. "They'll wait until the week before you're ready to harvest and they'll be on it."
That's why the phrases "subject to ordinary public view" and "secured from unauthorized access" are just as important for plants as they are for city growers. Though crime was down 30 percent last month while the Chicago Police Department was busy enforcing the stay-at-home order, that doesn't mean five-0 won't come snooping around this summer if your nosy neighbors get a whiff of the Blueberry Muffin flourishing next to the grill, or the Blue Cheese in the paint bucket on the balcony. "If residents report suspected illegal possession, distribution, or growth of cannabis, we will respond and investigate accordingly," says CPD spokesman Luis Agostini. "Any enforcement measures of personal cannabis use, growth, or possession will be in accordance with department directives and the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act."
Hmm. Still not too clear if the law is OK with outdoor growing. Maybe we should check with a lawyer: "It can be a complicated answer, but the short response is, 'maybe,'" says Larry Mishkin, a local attorney who specializes in cannabis law in association with the Hoban Law Group based in Denver. "Nowhere is there an express written provision directly prohibiting outdoor cultivation for homegrow. Still, to me, it reads as "no outside grow" without saying "no outside grow."
Mishkin points to all sorts of ways the ambiguities could be stacked against the outdoor grower—including, but not limited to, the nosy neighbor scenario—and therefore he'd advise a client against it. "But, the absence of express 'no outdoor grow' language will nevertheless result in some folks trying to grow outside. And then we can all see how the situation plays out, how law enforcement handles it, and whether the legislature amends that part of the Act to clarify the propriety of an outdoor grow."
But, if you do try it, maybe your neighbors will be into it. Out in the western suburbs, Lauren's were. She gave clones of her plants to her neighbors on either side, and they're now growing their own outside too. Her best advice: "Learn as much as you can about the process but don't overthink it. People make it really complicated and it doesn't have to be." v

I love this flow chart from Auburn Agriculture. Intellectually, I know that most of the time, my horses could live just fine without their blankets. After all, they have access to shelter, I haven't clipped them yet this year, and we feed plenty of hay. On dry nights, without wind, they would probably be just find. There's one old horse at our barn who never has a blanket. He's about 29 and he's survived just fine.
Emotionally, I feel like blanketing keeps them cozy. I try not to over blanket — there's no point in making them too warm — but when my fingers are going white from the cold, I like them to have a layer of warmth.
Of course, it may also be that because my fingers are numb, I don't want to take the blankets on/off three horses while standing in the dark, ankle deep in mud. Yup, that's probably the real reason. It's just easier to leave them with a mid-weight blanket on!
What do you do? Blanket or no blanket? Are your horses hardy enough to brave the winters of Canada (Zelda's former owner reminds me she grew up in Canada, blanketless, and managed to survive) or do your horses get sheets the first time it dips below 50 degrees?

We've all heard in some form or another, the infamous speech called "the dash". If you haven't, essentially the speaker gives you a taste of motivation by explaining how so many people focus on the beginning or the ending of a story. This is usually illustrated by a tombstone, where the birth & death years are listed, but so much of a person's story is represented by the dash. Hard to believe if you think of it, right? Your entire journey through life is translated by a simple form of grammatical insignificance. Or is it?
Do you relate to most people by trying to "fit in" or striving not to disrupt the status quo? Often times, people seek to find their comfort zone and clench tightly to it once they find it. Is this you? Sometimes these places of comfort and security cause us to forfeit our dreams. Settling for a job instead of loving your career, or never starting the business you've always wanted – these are the consequences of comfort. Time is the one resource we can't get back, so what comforts are you clenching on to?
Taking a leap of faith isn't easy. In many cases, it can backfire causing us to resist anymore risks. However, the one thing I've learned throughout my career in business and in sales is not to let failure keep you from swinging for the fences (baseball analogies are the best)! Sometimes the best way to know you actually have courage is to see how you deal with adversity. So in the words of Nickelback, What are you waiting for?

This is Deputy Digby Pancake. We can learn something new every day. But only if we choose to.
And yesterday? I did the choosing. It was time to buy an emu egg here at the farm.
You may wonder, as I wondered, how would my eggies taste if they came from something called an emu?
Sheriff Brickle said it might need to be called an ewwwww egg. But I had other thoughts. I knew it was going to be good.
Anything bigger is usually better.
A giant pancake. A giant piece of bacon. A giant egg? Oh yeah.
The persons were a little reluctant to cook the egg once they bought it. It was just so pretty. And yes. So big.
And their whole method of trying to crack this thing open took forever. It's like I was watching a magic show. A really slow magic show.
Then out came the egg! I've never seen such a giant yolk! I knew this was going to be a very rich tasting egg. And I have very rich tastes. Even though I'm a country boy too.
Brickle was the first one to try it. He didn't hesitate for a moment. He said this was one of those times you wait for your whole life, but you just didn't know. It. Was. Delicious.
I can't say that we may ever have the chance to try an emu egg again. But I can say that I'm glad we cracked the shell.
Because there was deliciousness under there. Even though it was hard to crack. And a little scary too.
Have you ever felt like an emu egg? With a hard shell? We all try to act like we are strong. But sometimes, when we let ourselves be cracked and a little weak, our true flavor comes out. You may have unknown potential if you just allow yourself to be weak and to let your guard down.
Your beauty on the outside is secondary to who you are on the inside. Let it out.
–Deputy Digby Pancake
Look for our emu egg experience video with the boys this Sunday on our Facebook page and Instagram TV at 10 a.m. ET!

Responding to the five GM plant closings and 14,000 layoffs, former Canadian Auto Worker union Research Director Sam Gindin talks about alternative strategies to the neoliberal and right wing approaches that fail society
Story Transcript
MARC STEINER: Welcome back to The Real News Network, I'm Marc Steiner, great to have you with us.
We're going to continue our conversation with Sam Gindin about the closing of the auto plants in Canada and the United States, and really focusing here on what the future could be. So when you look at union movements in Canada, union movements in the United States, the flow of international capital being able to dominate everything despite the games that Trump might play with his words, I'm curious how you see that unfolding. You talked about taking over plants as they did in 30s, when the auto workers were actually first formed. But clearly, unions have to reinvigorate and reinvent themselves in many ways, and we have to reinvent what we mean by an economy. I mean, how do you see pushing for that? What do you see the bottom line issues are that will actually attract people to this kind of new conversation, without getting overly burdensome intellectually?
SAM GINDIN: Well, I think we're in a new historical moment. I mean, if people want to know what the future holds, they can just project what's been happening over the last 30 years in terms of inequality and insecurity, losing substantive democracy in terms of shaping things, what we expect things are going to be like for our kids. I mean, it's not hard to see what the future holds. It's going to be more of the same. The question is, do we want to change it? And what we're learning is, the liberal movements used to think that this was all temporary, we'll ride it out. Well, that didn't happen. The labor movement thought that, well, maybe if we make some concessions, accept two tier wages, that will give us some security. It turns out that all they did was weaken the union, it led to people losing their confidence in the union.
Then people looked to – you know, sometimes they experimented with looking to somebody like Sanders. But what did happen in the States, what's happening in Canada, is they turn to rightwing populists who gave them simple answers, attacked the elite, and spoke to their frustrations. Well, that's being exposed right now. Now the challenge is on us, what are we going to do about it? And what you raised is the trade union movement is fundamental in this. You know, sparks can come from anywhere, they can come from a new, radicalized student movement, it can come from people fighting around racism, it can come from movements defending immigrants, but unless the trade union movement is there, it's hard to imagine this being sustained.
So part of what this is a discussion about is how do you revive the labor movement? And the revival of the labor movement, I think, depends on two things. One is it has to take advantage of these kinds of moments. Advantage might not be the right word, but it has to respond to these kinds of moments in a way that doesn't just show how weak they really are, because they say a lot but do nothing. So they have to actually act, I think that is critical. And there is so much frustration out there and so much appetite for change that if some decisive actions took place or people really did things like occupy plants, it would be seen sympathetically. It would give people other ideas, maybe not occupying plants but other creative ideas. That's one thing.
And the other thing we really have to talk about is that we need an organized left. What happened in the 30s was related to there being parties of the working class, socialists and communists. And if the problems are so big, they can't just be solved by unions working in isolation. We're going to need to have socialist parties which have feet in the union movement but feet also outside and are going to make links with a community and can develop larger plans, develop the skills amongst people to understand what's going on, to strategize, to debate these issues democratically, to organize and to act. These are intimidating and almost overwhelming things, but unless we start thinking this way all we're going to get is just a projection of what we have now.
So at that level, that's the choice. Do we want to become more radical or do we want to just continue where we are? And because the choices are so polarized, you either give in to the corporations or you have to become radical, what it means is that the radical is actually the only thing that's becoming practical. To give them subsidies doesn't work, to give them concessions doesn't work. What are you going to do? And the only alternative, what's becoming practical is actually the radical.
MARC STEINER: And it seems in many ways that that solution – there's very little you can do to stop these plants from closing people out at this moment. Clearly, that's going to happen, which means all these workers will be out of work.
SAM GINDIN: Yeah, I wouldn't criticize people for trying to say, "Well, give us another model, or do the electric car there." I mean, they should do that, but they've made it pretty clear that they don't think we've got the power to do this and they've got their interest.
MARC STEINER: And you've got people now that you're seeing, whether it's the Sanders campaign, other things going on around this country, right or left, which you just said. You're seeing people who are accepting radical ideas because they know that what's given to them now is pablum and it's not working.
SAM GINDIN: Yes. And the corollary of that is that people are ready for something, and that something has to be organized so it really brings them together and gives them hope. Because what your expectations are depends on what you think is possible, and what you think is possible is going to depend on what kind of structures there are that you can work through. And if you don't think you can work through your union to change things, because all your union is offering is concessions, you're not going to go there. So we have to build those things. We have to renew our unions, but we also have to start thinking about building organizational capacities in communities, and also nationally, in terms of political parties.
MARC STEINER: So Sam Gindin was Research Director for the Canadian Auto Workers from 74 to 2000, and cowrote the book, The Making of Global Capitalism: The Political Economy of American Empire. And Sam, it's always great to hear your thoughts and ideas. Thank you so much for joining us. Great to have you with us here on The Real News.
SAM GINDIN: Thanks, great to be here.
MARC STEINER: And I'm Marc Steiner here for The Real News Network. We'll be covering this some more. Take care.

Haivision and Sencore Partner to Deliver High Quality HEVC/H.265 Live Video
Starting today, broadcasters that struggle with costly and fragile IP video links now have a solution that makes them more efficient and predictable. Haivision and Sencore have joined forces to give broadcasters a better way to deliver high quality live video over the most constrained networks using HEVC/H.265 video compression for backhaul, monitoring, contribution, and distribution.
Haivision's Makito X encoder with HEVC/H.265 compression launched this August. With its compact size, weight and powerful encoding performance, it is designed for low latency video backhaul and transmission applications.
With the Makito X HEVC encoder and the Sencore MRD 4400 HEVC decoder, broadcasters can establish video links where network bandwidth availability or cost is high. HEVC saves as much as 50 percent of the required bandwidth compared to H.264.
Sencore, a long time partner of Haivision, is a leader in the development of reliable and cost-effective decoders, supporting a huge range of video and audio formats, and making it a future-proof choice for video distribution.
Sencore's MRD 4400 is a perfect match for the Makito X HEVC. Together they bring broadcasters tested and proven high quality, low bandwidth video delivery. And the solution supports both HEVC and H.264, giving broadcasters an easier way to upgrade existing installations with the flexibility to simultaneously interoperate with current workflows.
Here's a diagram showing a typical workflow with Haivision and Sencore:
Our collaboration with Sencore gives broadcasters and integrators peace of mind with the assurance that our combined encoder/decoder solution works every time. We'll be showcasing both products at NAB New York (Javits Convention Center, November 9-10) with live demos in booth 502.

iPad madness in SF
Update: Nice CNET recap of the SF Apple Store launch, featuring a certain ubiquitous video blogger.
Dear Leader graces Palo Alto with his presence
Some things never change: 2007 vs. 2010
Scoble emerges from the Palo Alto Apple Store this morning. Looks a lot like July 2007, doesn't it? Maybe a little heavier.
Apple Store: Walnut Creek, CA
Apple Store: Woz in Santa Clara
Woz just loves the user experience, and you have to appreciate that. He just likes being out with the masses. The fawning adulation probably doesn't hurt, either. Straight from The Merc in San Jose:
The ever buoyuant Woz, who brought along his Segway, which he used to cruise the empty mall halls, provided tech tales to all who wanted to hear them. An early supply crunch apparently forced Apple to limit individuals and businesses to one order of two iPads. Even Woz couldn't get more: After ordering one iPad, he tried to put in another order for one more for a friend, but was turned away.
Apple Store: NYC with NDC
Apple Store: Tampa, FL
USA West Coast…it's showtime
It's 9am here on the West Coast. People in other time zones already have their iPads, and now it's our turn. Your local Apple Store is waiting for you with outstretched arms. If you're in Palo Alto, don't let Scoble shove you out of line. In Santa Clara's Valley Fair Mall, Woz is sure to be line-jumping. Go buy an iPad before they're gone. You might even spot El Jobso.

August is National Wellness Month
Your journey to financial wellness
August is National Wellness Month - a time for each of us to focus on ourselves, manage our stress, and perpetuate healthy routines. One of the most important wellness journeys we can take is the path to financial freedom.
Building financial security and independence, while certainly important, makes up only one slice of the whole financial wellness pie. Financial wellness also incorporates the ways that wealth and income affect our emotional and physical well-being.
The journey to financial wellness is far different than the path to becoming rich. Achieving financial wellness cannot be done in a vacuum – it requires developing a degree of emotional and physical wellness as well.
Searching for one inherently will expand to a search for all three. And since it's not really a journey that has a final destination, it's one that relatively few people choose to make.
If you are considering a journey to financial wellness, here are a few thoughts.
- Remember, it's your journey. It doesn't work to follow the path to financial wellness because a spouse, parent, friend or financial planner recommends it. If your motivation is a should or an ought, you might as well save yourself a lot of frustration and pain by stopping before the journey starts.
- Don't attempt to guilt, shame or manipulate anyone else to come along with you on the journey. We can't find financial wellness for anyone else but ourselves. We certainly can join with others for mutual support and learning along the way, but all those on the path need to be there for themselves regardless of whether others are on it.
- Be prepared for the naysayers. Not everyone in your life is going to support your quest for financial wellness. Many will try to convince you to stop before you start or to turn back once you've begun. Often, the closer a person is to you and the more dependent they are on your financial choices, the more threatening your journey may be to them and the more they will resist you changing.
- Lower your expectations of how quickly your attitudes and behaviors around money and finances will change. Chances are it has taken you a lifetime to get to where you are with your relationship with money. Unlike the journey that Ebenezer Scrooge took to financial wellness, your relationship won't be miraculously transformed overnight.
- In the early stages of your journey, resist the urge to substitute getting more practical and logical information about money and finances instead of looking at the emotions and feelings you have around money. Most of the journey to financial wellness is not about the money. It's about the thoughts, beliefs and emotions you have about money and wealth.
- Find one or more trusted guides to help you along the journey. Seek out those who are traveling the path ahead of you and who appear to practice at least some of the financial wellness you want. Learn from their missteps. Benefit from their experience and wisdom.
- Open yourself to new awareness and knowledge. Be prepared to let go of your most deeply held "truths" about money. The more stubbornly we cling to strong beliefs about how systems work or people function around money, the more likely that those beliefs are not serving us well.
- Be gentle with yourself when you get off the main path and need to retrace your steps. Everyone on the journey to financial wellness takes wrong turns. Mistakes and dead ends are inevitable, and are not failures. They are opportunities to learn, to make course corrections and to continue your journey.
We're here to help with your journey to financial wellness. Contact our team today to get started!

Niko Bellic
Niko Bellic is the protagonist from the 4th chapter in the Grand Theft Auto series. Business in his little known eastern European home country is not going well.
On the other hand things seem to be going great for Nikos cousin in America: Supposedly he has more cars, women and money than he knows what to do with and convinces Niko to come to America.
Upon his arrival however he comes to realize that this was not entirely true…
Roman Bellic
Roman is the cousin of Niko. He is well known as an optimist, liar and dreamer. These characteristics help Roman among other things in convincing Niko to come to America.
His lies and dreams can not disguise the fact that Roman has some serious problems: Instead of the supposed women, cars and money, he only has a small Taxi company and has many enemies in Liberty city as well.
Just like Roman, Vlad lives in a world of fantasy. He thinks of himself as a big-time gangster with a feel for good deals. He is so convinced of this that he thinks he rules Brokers district "Hove".
However in reality, he is just a small fish who is trying to make a name for himself in the scene with small deals.
For more than ten years now Elizabeta has been a successful drug dealer in Bohan. The secret to her success has been keeping her business small and inconspicuous. She also has an intuition to get people out of the business at the right time.
Since the police have been cracking down on drug dealers, Elizabeta has been a target of police investigations and thus under increasing pressure.
Manny was formerly someone you wouldn't want to come across on the street at night. He was there as graffiti, hip hop and break dancing were introduced.
But Manny has transformed himself from an ice cold gangster into someone who wants to clean up the streets of Liberty city. His target is to give other people a way out of the violence.
Brucie could be described as a fitness junkie, car freak and self designated VIP. He lives the way he thinks the men in magazines would live and relishes it every day. The fact that he has nothing other than women and money doesn't bother him. For him the only thing which is important is to be able to continue his current lifestyle.

Yesterday Activ8 were very lucky to have another visit from Luke Ambler – you may remember the first time he came to New Bridge (click here if you missed it). Luke delivers talks and workshops helping to empower people to be the best they can be. A former professional rugby player and Ireland international who played World Cups, Luke now travels the world delivering workshops and talks to audiences of all ages about how to unlock their potential..
Luke delivered a total of 3 workshops to Activ8. The first was based on the 5 points of wellbeing, then there was one on managing anger before he moved on to one on goal setting. These workshops were amazing and have given the students tools they can use themselves for dealing with their own wellbeing, helping others around them and for focusing on goal setting and managing any times of anger..
Luke then also spoke to a team of staff. His talk was funny, emotional, informative and helpful, and was delivered with such passion and enthusiasm..
Luke spoke about how, from a personal tragedy, he went on to begin the Andy's Man Club initiative and how, through constant awareness raising, the viral #ITSOKAYTALK campaign was born. Now a world wide phenomenon acknowledged by government ministers, New Bridge hosts our very own branch of Andy's Man Club on Mondays at Medtia Square for our students aged 16 and over..
A fantastic day was had by all of the people who've been in contact with Luke today and we hope to welcome him into the New Bridge Group again very soon!!

The responses below are those of members of The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport(UK) Scottish Policy Group who have contributed to the discussion on The Scottish Government Consultation on Modernising Planning Appeals.
While planning as a discipline is not specifically an area of expertise of the members of CILT(UK), we nonetheless have a distinct interest in this area, particularly where planning issues interface with transport ones. We have already responded in some detail to the series of planning consultations and below are some thoughts on the matter of appeals.
However, some of the issues in the paper raise a number of questions and these are also noted below. We would add that we appreciate the opportunity to comment.
1. We see it as important to minimise the risk of one person/group blocking an application through a vexatious appeal.
2. A key element should be independence of the Appeal Group from those involved in Planning Committees.
3. A second stage arbiter is seen as a benefit.
4. The reduction from 6 to 3 months in the time for appeals is seen as an advantage. Swift decisions for industry are seen as important consistent with adequate scrutiny and demonstrable fairness.
5. Specifying that new issues raised at appeals must have evidence to demonstrate that the material was not available at the time of the original submission of appeals is supported.
6. The specification that there are no councillors from adjacent authorities, implies that all planning applications with cross boundary implications can only be dealt with at the national level. This seems to rule out dual authority appeal panels which would keep the decision making local, which could have advantages.
7. Will the Review Body be a permanent Committee and how many councillors will be trained? It is our view that there will need to be several more than the minimum trained to give the Review Body some resilience in the face of unforeseen events.
8. Will the Review Body have a professional reporter to advise them on matters of law?
9. The composition of the Review Body should be cross-party where possible.
10. Are there procedures in place to ensure the continuation of the appeals process during an election period with the inevitable training requirement for new councillors?
11. Is it a mandatory requirement for a council to respond to an appeal submission within 14 days and are the 14 days working days?
12. Advice to Ministers where planning appeals are to be dealt with by the Scottish Government should be made public.

The following podcast (8 and a half minutes) explores my reflections on the Arts in Education seminars held at the Cradle of Creativity on Friday, May 19th, 2017. These seminars delved into the many facets of Arts in Education, whether it be theory, research or practice. The varied perspectives of the speakers fostered a sense of internationalism in the conversations, and yet some key overlapping themes kept surfacing. Considering my vested interest in the field, I use this podcast as an opportunity to express my own opinions. However, it must, of course, be acknowledged that my experiences and thoughts coming out of this day will not necessarily directly reflect the perspectives of the speakers or others in attendance.
"I think we all agree that we're in a world that's in distress. It's a very unequal world and it's a world that really is struggling to produce enough resources to sustain everyone happily […] and I think we feel the turmoil that is happening in the world today. […] I think amidst all of that, though, we do see everyday extraordinary acts of kindness and when we see those, we look at each other and we say there's also something deeply human about us. There's a deep humanity and I think what we're going to demonstrate to you today is that there's a scientific reason, a rational reason why that humanity should be able to be spread across the world to every single person on the planet."

The Legends World Tour touches down at the Estoril Classic 2018
"The Bikes Are Brutal, The Riders Are Legends"
World GP Bike Legends will be heading to the world-famous Estoril Circuit in Portugal to join the Estoril Classic on 6th and 7th October 2018. In our first ever visit to this esteemed event, we will be bringing back the bikes and Legends of yesteryear for on track action and much more.
The drama, stories and successes of both man and machine can be relived over the weekend, with on track action and a chance to meet all the riders in the paddock. World GP Bike Legends have once again amassed a stellar line up of both riders and machines for the fans to enjoy.
World GP Bike Legends, we will be on track for the classic parade and for the world-famous "Race of Legends". Take yourself back in time to the hottest era of GP bike racing and loose yourself in the sounds, smells, sights and colour of the incredible Legends with their GP machines.
"Delivering on the romance of the most extraordinary age of motorcycle racing the world has ever seen"
Bringing together an incredible collection of World Champions and GP race winners, the Classic Parade at Estoril is shaping up to be a spectacular showcase of some of the original 500cc bikes from the heyday of Grand Prix bike racing. The parade will take place on both days during the event giving the fans the chance to appreciate the classic machinery as they take to the track.
"The Race of Legends"
Our superstar Legends riders are always ready to race, and once they hit the Estoril paddock evoking the sights and sounds of their original racing days, they don't just want to parade – they're ready to race! We will be lining up on track for the Race of Legends with a full-blown racing grid with Legends riders. The nail-biting heart-stopping Race of Legends will take fans back to the brutally competitive arena of bike racing, where only the fittest and most determined were able to survive. These riders showed true grit, determination and amazing talent.
These riders, along with their beautifully engineered machinery are considered some of the world's greatest in racing history with now legendary status. Visit World GP Bike Legends in the paddock to meet the Legends riders, expand your autograph collection and see the bikes up close during the event.
"The Estoril Classic"
Hosted in the former home of Portuguese Formula One and Motorbike Grand Prix, Estoril Classic is the biggest Classic car festival in South of Europe. Evoking memories of the passion and glamour of motor racing, last year's programme included classic Formula 1 cars, rally cars, endurance cars and Group 1 saloons joining the World GP Bike Legends over the race weekend. With in excess of 25,000 visitors expected to attend, this year's rich and varied programme to be announced in the coming weeks is guaranteed to delight the audience. Cars clubs including Alfa Romeo, BMW, Lotus, Ferrari and Porsche will also be part of the event, providing one of the largest and most eclectic mix of privately owned cars in Europe.
It promises to be a fabulous weekend for all motorsport fans which includes a full programme of classic car racing and a full grid of motorcycle Legends.
