My hometown greeted 2014 with the lawful sale of recreational cannabis. Naturally, parents and educators are talking a lot about marijuana here in the 303. The debate is a many-tentacled beast in our local zeitgeist, and I will address various aspects of it in a series of blog posts here.
Today, real questions to ask when the situation gets real.
Here in Colorado (if not everywhere), it is likely for parents to suspect their kids are smoking pot. Most often, it's not the end of the world, but unhealthy behavior of any kind is cause for some parental alarm.
My observation of teenagers (and their parents) throughout the years tells me we need new role models.
Once again, Mama Bear is a useless example; at this point in her family's growth, she's probably off sleeping somewhere. When faced with a kid who may or may not be high, my TEN NEW ROLE MODELS for parents might ask the following questions.
[As always, it is vital to first step away from the situation, take a breath, and be sure we KNOW, PROTECT, and HONOR our teenagers.]
Role Models Who KNOW
1. Private Investigator (Study Them) asks: "Is there a problem?"
This new role model instructs us to pay attention to clues such as: lighters in pockets, notes from friends requiring research on urbandictionary.com, greater-than-usual interest in privacy, weird exit patterns, and time-stamps on social-media posts.
2. Mother Falcon (Watch Them) asks: "To what degree is there a problem?"
She discerns between comparatively harmless teenaged shenanigans (including all sorts of experimentation) and Real Trouble. If grades are acceptable and the child generally acts respectable and responsible, she notices, but she does not intervene. The minute she observes real signs of depression, angst, self-hatred, or permanent, life-altering behaviors, she swoops in and gets her child to safety. (Please note: quite often, "safety" means expert or professional help, which in turn can help restore a sense of family balance.)
3. Telemarketer (Pester Them) asks, "What does this kid need to hear?"
And then keeps saying it. Again and again, no matter how much the kid seems to hate it. If the child needs affirmation, affirm. If the child needs correction, correct. Again, again, and again. There is no other hope for our messages eventually sinking in.
Role Models Who PROTECT
4. Soldier (Guard Them) asks, "How do we reinforce boundaries?"
Once parents have determined the nature, strength and source of a problem, it takes tactical genius to keep kids safe. Soldier on; semper fidelis; over hill, over dale; our kids are worth it.
5. Personal Trainer (Work Them) asks, "Shall we go for a run?"
...or a hike, or a swim, or a trip to the gym, or skiing or boxing or rollerblading . . . . When teenagers get lost, we cannot underestimate their need for physical activity. Stress-relieving, hormone-releasing, brain-balancing, good-for-your-body exercise. They need to break a sweat every single day. (Note: Those in need of more serious consequences benefit immeasurably from good, old-fashioned, prison-style hard labor. A pile of rocks, in need of shoveling, is an excellent thing to keep on hand when teenagers dwell in your home.)
6. Pre-School Teacher (Rest Them) asks, "Do you need a nap?"
Teenagers are under a lot of pressure. They usually go a mile a minute and keep a dizzying array of balls in the air. Like their former toddler selves, they need a break. Oftentimes, a literal nap--maybe even with a familiar teddy bear--soothes the adolescent beast. Other times, help teenagers find different ways to relax, unwind, unplug, detox, play, rest. Without down-time, their brains are too busy to make sound decisions.
7. Ninja (Ambush Them) asks, "Surprised to see me HERE?"
Also, "Surprised I knew THAT?" and "Betcha didn't know I could do THIS, did you?" As adolescents cultivate secrets and seek hidden pleasures, this role model encourages us to keep them on their toes. We can surprise them with our presence--in real or virtual places--and with our knowledge of pop culture and the ways of the wicked world. I promise you, the disorientation a teenager feels when their experience collides with ours is enough to keep them guessing. And sometimes, that alone might keep them safe.
Role Models Who HONOR
8. Sage on a Mountaintop (Mentor Them) asks, "What's really bugging you?"
As I have discussed, I think it matters little what form their transgression takes. If a teenager is acting out or engaging in destructive behavior, something's up. As you know (if you have a current teenager), we parents are rarely the people they seek for guidance. Be aware of their influences--and take some control over the adults with whom they interact--and help them seek good mentors. Teachers, coaches, family members, bosses, counselors . . . bless the other adults who help our children find their way to themselves!
9. Artist (Forgive Them) asks, "What can you change?"
This new role model reminds us to see our teenagers for the messy, imperfect works-in-progress they are. If we can forgive them for making mistakes--even better, if we can help them learn from mistakes--we can help them make changes to avoid repeating them. Laugh with them; release them from the tyranny of perfection; forget the perfect offering; "call it art" and move on!
10. Mother Falcon (Push Them.) asks, "That's a bummer, isn't it?"
Natural consequences are Mother Falcon's wheelhouse. It is inconceivable for her to let her chicks remain in the nest, or to flap their wings for them as they plummet through the air on their first awkward flights. She teaches her kids to fend for themselves, and then she lets them do it. When our teenagers face consequences for their wayward actions, this role model reminds us to sit back and enjoy it. As much as we should remain vigilant, we should refrain from rescuing. Mother Falcon earns her spot twice on my list precisely because she exemplifies this precious balance.

Facial Rejuvenation
Are you looking tired or weathered? Does your skin look dull or just a little too lived in! Is it excess pigmentation or those recurring spots that draw your attention when you look in the mirror? Good news! We may have a treatment to help.
We offer a variety of laser and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments to tackle thread veins, pigmentation and uneven skin tone and texture.
Micro-dermabrasion is an effective way of boosting your skin with no down time or uncomfortable side-effects.
Radio Frequency, a pain-free treatment for skin tightening and volume reduction.
Laser & IPL tab
Laser and IPL for Pigmentation
Pigmentation can be caused by a number of factors including sun exposure, hormone fluctuations and trauma to the skin (known as post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation).
The usual areas for treatment are the face, neck, décolletage and backs of hands, however, areas of pigmentation almost anywhere on the body can be treated.
How it works
Different wavelengths of light can be absorbed by specific structures in the skin to cause controlled damage to them. The damaged tissue can then be removed either through the production of new skin cells or by the immune system 'flushing' the dead tissue away. To treat pigmentation Laser light is absorbed by the melanin, the pigment in the skin. This process generates heat and destroys the pigment cells.
What will happen after a treatment?
In the case of more superficial pigmentation there can be a darkening of the treated areas initially and a slight crusting of the lesions. This will slough off after a few days revealing lightening of the skin lesion. If the pigmentation is deeper in the skin this darkening of the lesion will not occur and a fading of the pigment will gradually become noticeable after repeated treatments.
How many treatments will it take?
A course of 3 – 6 treatments is usually recommended although you should see improvement after each session. A period of 4 weeks would be left between treatments.
Laser and IPL for Thread Veins
Thread, or spider, veins, general redness and rosacea can all be successfully treated or improved with lasers. Thread veins can be caused by exposure to sun, hormones, genetics or environmental factors.
The usual areas for treatment are the face, particularly cheeks, nose and chin and the décolletage area.
How it works
Wavelengths of light are used that are absorbed by the haemoglobin in the blood. This generates heat causing the little blood vessel walls to collapse. This dead tissue is then 'flushed' away by the immune system over the following weeks.
What will happen after a treatment?
Your skin will usually be a little flushed immediately after treatment but this tends to fade within an hour. With some forms of laser treatment tiny scabs can form in the treated areas. These are usually invisible but can be felt when you touch your skin. Improvement in the condition will occur over the following weeks.
How many treatments will it take?
Some small vascular lesions can be treated in just one session, however, in most cases a course of 4-6 sessions is recommended. Treatments would be at 4 – 6 weekly intervals.
Laser for Skin Rejuvenation
A concern for many people is the texture of their skin due to scarring, acne, open pores or general lumps and bumps.
Pixel™ fractional laser resurfacing is an excellent way of improving these conditions as well as tackling superficial pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles. This treatment is also appropriate for the neck, chest and backs of hands.
How it works
The laser beam is split into a 7×7 or 9×9 grid, hence 'pixel'. Each of these pixels creates a micro-injury to the skin without disturbing the surrounding tissue. Because only a percentage of the skin surface is targeted, leaving skin around the micro wounds untouched, there is little chance of infection and healing time is reduced dramatically compared to traditional full resurfacing. The combination of the exfoliating nature of the treatment and the generation of heat during the process causes the collagen to remodel, the skin to tighten and an overall improvement in the texture of the skin.
What will happen after a treatment?
Immediately following the procedure your skin will feel hot and tender to the touch much like sunburn for up to 3 to 4 hours. After this time much of the heat sensation dissipates leaving the skin feeling tender for 24 hours or so. The top layers of skin are shed over the following days as new skin forms and reveals fresher, clearer skin beneath.
Healing can take from 2 – 7 days depending on the intensity of the treatment and the healing capacity of your skin. Any discomfort during this time is usually associated with the dryness of the surface layers of skin and can quickly be alleviated by applying moisturiser.
How many treatments will it take?
A course of 2 – 5 treatments is usually recommended at 3-4 weekly intervals. Treatments take from 15 – 30 minutes. Although initial improvement can be seen within a few days, the full effects of treatment are usually seen after 3 months as it can take this long for collagen to develop.
Medical Microdermabrasion with Derma Genesis®
Medical microdermabrasion is a safe, non-surgical resurfacing procedure that is suitable for young or old, male or female and for all skin types. It can be used on the chest, back and shoulders but is most commonly used for the face.
It is an effective skin rejuvenation procedure that requires no downtime, is relatively painless and causes little or no swelling, irritation or redness.
It is commonly used to improve fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, blackheads and whiteheads, open pores, acne prone skin and for generally rejuvenating the face.
How it works
A highly controlled flow of fine, medical grade crystals removes the dead, outermost layer of skin, revealing the new, living skin cells below.
A hand piece is passed over the skin which 'blasts' the skin with the crystals. A vacuum simultaneously removes the dead skin and crystals. This process evenly removes the outermost layer of skin whilst stimulating the underlying layer to promote the production of new collagen.
What will happen after treatment?
There is no downtime and few negative effects following this treatment. Some clients experience mild redness immediately after the procedure but this usually fades within the hour. It is important to wear an SPF cream in the days following this procedure as your skin will initially be more susceptible to sun damage.
How many treatments will it take?
Even single treatments will make a difference, but a course of 3 – 10 treatments will produce the best results. Treatments can be performed at 2 – 4 weekly intervals with each taking 20 – 30 minutes.
Accent™ Radiofrequency is a pain-free treatment for skin tightening and volume reduction.
This is a treatment that can be performed on almost any part of the body but is very popular for facial skin tightening and for targeting areas of cellulite that exercise and diet alone cannot reach.
How it works
The main structural support of the skin is provided by the protein called collagen. Radiofrequency is able to generate heat much deeper into the skin whilst protecting the uppermost layers by cooling. The heat generated by the radiofrequency energy tightens the supportive framework of the skin by contraction of collagen fibres which aids remodelling and rejuvenation. This heat also stimulates a healing response which encourages the growth of new collagen. This acts as a new deep foundation for the skin producing further tightening that becomes evident over several months.
What will happen during and after treatment?
Baby oil is applied to the treatment area. This allows the Radio Frequency hand piece to glide smoothly over the skin. Your therapist will continuously apply the energy to the skin, checking the skin's temperature periodically to ensure achieving therapeutic temperatures. Each area is treated for 5-10 minutes, depending on how long it takes to get to the desired temperature, before moving onto adjacent areas.
There is no downtime associated with Radiofrequency treatments. Following the procedure your skin will feel warm, but not uncomfortably so. It is recommended that you drink plenty of water before and after treatment to stay well hydrated.
How many treatments will it take?
Treatments for skin tightening on the face are at monthly intervals and will usually require 4 – 6 sessions. Maintenance treatments can be performed at 3 – 4 monthly intervals.
Radio Frequency for the treatment of cellulite is at weekly and sometimes bi-weekly intervals with 6 – 8 sessions being required.
Results vary from person to person and are often closely associated to one's overall fitness and diet.
How much does it cost?
Radio frequency costs £50 per area per session. For example:
Skin tightening – full face £50 per session
Fat & cellulite reduction – stomach £50 "
Fat & cellulite reduction – thighs £50 " (both legs)

By Ujjal Dosanjh
When Donald Trump was elected President of the United States of America, paraphrasing the old "Manchurian Candidate", I wrote of him as a "Russian President of USA"...who shall.. " always remain illegitimate ". His disgraceful and despicable performance in Helsinki has unfortunately proven my assessment to be correct. Acting as Putin's faithful and trained poodle, Trump salivated at his master's every gesture; in awe of and in complete submission to his master he, the Commander-In-Chief, attacked the United States of America and its institutions regurgitating Putin's talking points. It was treason--pure and simple; the most shameful performance of any President of the USA in that I've witnessed in the last fifty years.
Normally a Canadian, an immigrant from India--a child of India and a citizen of Canada--would not necessarily comment on what happens to our neighbours to the north. But these are no ordinary times. Trump is undermining democratic and egalitarian values not only in the USA but in the entire world and more particularly among USA's strong allies such as the UK and Germany. While he defers to Putin, shows him respect uttering nary a word critical of him, he regularly insults and harangues the allies such as Angela Merkel and Theresa May.
In Helsinki Trump dared not confront Putin with the indictment of twelve members of the GRU/Russian Military by the US intelligence and special counsel Mueller. In fact his words, actions, and omissions in Helsinki threw the US Intelligence and civil servants under the bus. I watched his pitiful performance and felt sad for the USA and the democratic world. In the NATO meeting, his meeting with May and his shameful performance with Putin Trump once again proved he was a friend of dictators and a detractor of allies and democracies--a friend of the rapidly growing nativist politics in the world and a committed foe of freedom and free trade. The USA is not a perfect country. But under its many presidents--from FDR to Eisenhower to Kennedy to Obama it has been a country of the world. Yes it has made many mistakes but it has also been a strong and leading force for good.
One doesn't know what Trump must have said to Putin in their private one on one meeting but his fawning and grovelling performance on public display in Helsinki only deepened the already healthy and reasonable suspicion that Putin definitely has some grave KOMPROMAT on Trump. Never fit to be president in the first place, it is about time the people of the United States of America awoke, rose above partisanship, and rescued their country from the clutches of Trump who doesn't see it as his duty to protect the country from foreign attacks on its democracy, who stands on foreign soil and sides with the adversaries of America while lambasting US institutions that work tirelessly to protect it from its enemies.
Trump has committed a High Crime: he stood with a committed US foe on foreign soil and attacked America. Presidents have been impeached for far less.
Impeach Trump!!

I couldn't go off on holiday (to Bath, Yay!) without writing a blog post. I thought long and hard about what to write about and I thought it would be a great time to leave you with a question; so as I can read all your comments and suggestions when I get back. Great idea, no?
But what I wanted to talk about was Character Sketches – do you use them? Find them useful? Or a complete waste of time? It's one of those writing tools that seems to split the writing people we all look up to. Some authors simply have to use them every time they start a project and refer back to it whilst writing, others do them in so much detail, down to the last freckle, whilst on the other hand, some simply think they halt the creative process of the actual writing.
But, I think we should start with what an actual Character Sketch is, for those who don't kind know. A Character Sketch is simply a sheet of paper with different headings, upon which the author describes their characters in as much detail as required to get a mental picture. If we take Harry Potter, for example, a Character Sketch may look like this:
Name: Harry Potter
Age: 14
Hair Colour/Type: Brown, short, fringe
Eye Colour: Brown
Facial Features: Wears glasses, Scar on forehead shaped like a lightning bolt
Personality: Quiet, introverted until pushed to limits, innocent
(*NB: some of the above details may be incorrect to the actual Harry Potter)
But as you can see from the above example, you can get a fully rounded picture of what a character looks like, feels like, sounds like. And then the author will do one of these Character Sketches for each and every one of their major characters.
Are you one of those authors that do use them?
I suppose I can only answer for myself from my own experiences in my own writing. When I was writing The Black Petal I did try and use these to aid me. I wrote them for some of the main characters: Jack, Blake, Lucia and Asa. To be honest? I found them totally distracting, actually halting the writing. I found myself going over the Sketches over and over again, making sure the characters' details were all filled in exactly how I wanted them to be. What I soon discovered, was that when I was writing the later stages of the book, the characters needed changing slightly, didn't quite work a situation or needed re-jiffing to suit something better. Then I went back to the Sketches to change them, rework them to reflect the characters. Again, I was wasting time.
But I suppose there are upsides and downsides – when I went through my own editing routine, I found myself re-skimming over some of the chapters to make sure there were no continuity errors. Jack having blue eyes for example, not brown eyes. If I'm being honest, I did find a few of these continuity errors which needed to be changed instantly. If I had used effective Character Sketches, there would be no need to go over other chapters, and in fact only needed to simply glance at them as I was writing.
Does all of that sound too waffly?
I didn't use Character Sketches whilst I was writing The Caseworker's Memoirs.
Perhaps, Character Sketches work better for certain genres, or books that include an awful lot of characters? But if so, what genres would they be and how many characters are 'an awful lot'? Even though The Caseworker's Memoirs is not a YA (Young Adult) novel, I do class myself as a YA Author. I would guess that the majority of YA authors don't use Character Sketches. Maybe a complicated, spy adult novel would. I just pulled that out of thin air – I'm not saying that to be true of all.
What are your thoughts?
Do let me know, I'm very interested to know what other people think of them, especially other writers of any genre. Perhaps you don't use Character Sketches, but some other planning device?
I eagerly await your responses!
Until I get back from my holiday though, have a nice week!

|Transport for London
(Bakerloo, Central &
Victoria Lines)
|Station code:
Finally the Victoria Line reached Oxford Circus in the 1960s. A complete reconstruction of the station was required to accommodate the new line including a new ticket hall built underneath the road junction itself. This required a large steel structure, called the Oxford Circus Umbrella, to allow traffic to continue flowing overhead while the new ticket office was built underneath [2]. The Victoria line platforms were built parallel to the Bakerloo platforms to ease interchange.
The station was given a refurbishment and facelift in the 1980s which included murals on the Central and Bakerloo Line platforms [3] though these were mostly removed in 2007 during another refurbishment.

Hello there, and thanks for stopping by my website. I'm an actor currently living in Los Angeles, CA.
In 2009, I received Bachelor of Science degree in Theater Studies with an emphasis in Performance from Northern Arizona University. I have worked with many reputable acting coaches over the past 10 or so years including Kathryn Gately (who studied directly under Sanford Meisner for many years), John Rosenfeld, Annie Grindlay, Jana Lee Hamblin, and Lindsay Frame. I am currently on the Core Track at The Groundlings and loving every second of it.
Some of my credits include a guest star role on NBC's Grimm and a lead role in the new feature film, Sex Weather, which has been distributed world-wide by Breaking Glass Pictures and also played in select movie theaters in Los Angeles and Portland, Oregon in late 2018. You can watch it now on Amazon Prime and Google Play. (You can check out some of my other work on my "Projects" page)
Acting isn't my only passion, however. I LOVE to sing…everything from show tunes to Elton John and Panic at the Disco. I will always be your karaoke buddy. I enjoy being out in nature, whether it be camping, hiking, climbing, or just sitting on the beach and watching the waves - especially since moving to California! I also really like curling up with a good book and a nice cup of tea, and I have a somewhat secret fondness for classic video games. I take pride in the fact that I can beat Super Mario Bros in 14 minutes (I know you're impressed). I work very hard and will always put my best foot forward, but I also try to not take myself too seriously. I love making people laugh, and I absolutely love to travel, so please feel free to contact me about non-local projects.
I feel most alive when I am working on my craft. For me, acting is more than just a job or an art form. It is one of the most brave journeys one can embark upon. It creates a life structured around empathy. What better way to understand someone than to actually put yourself in their shoes and feel what they feel, experience what they experience? It's not always easy or fun, and like all important endeavors, I don't think it should be. What keeps me coming back time after time, through all the rejection and struggle that inevitably comes with this career, is the fact that no matter what the role, I always come out the other side having learned a little more about what it means to be human, and I consider that to be an incredible gift.

Oberwiesenthal, the highest town in Germany, used to be known as the St. Moritz of the East. But times have changed. DW's Elisabeth Jahn visits a town still clinging to its past and yet striving to revamp its image.
The steam train that chugs along the Fichtelberg Railway from Cranzahl to Oberwiesenthal dates back to 1897. Out of my window I can see snow-covered peaks, scattered villages and thick forests. It's half-term in Saxony, so the carriages are full, mainly with families keen to make the most of the crisp February weather and enjoy some winter sports. Down in the valley, the snow is long gone.
Germany's oldest cable car to the peak
As the train pulls into Oberwiesenthal, at an altitude of 914 meters (2,998 feet) above sea level, it greets the throngs of skiers and snowboarders on the nearby slopes with a friendly toot.
The cable car that runs to the peak of the 1,214-meter-high Fichtelberg is the oldest in Germany, taking passengers past the huge jumps where legendary ski jumper Jens Weissflog trained as a young man. Today, they're still used as an Olympic training center. The cableway, with its striking red cars, was built in 1924 and played a major role in putting Oberwiesenthal on the map as a ski resort.
Close ties to Czech neighbors
The view from the top of the Fichtelberg is breathtaking. The ski resort of Klinovec is nearby, a few kilometers away on the other side of the Czech border. Before I arrived, I'd spoken on the phone with Mirko Ernst, the mayor of Oberwiesenthal, who'd told me that local authorities were keen to promote cross-border projects in the region. "The health and spa options on either side of the border are designed to complement each other," he said.
In 2012, Oberwiesenthal officially became a "climate resort," luring visitors with its fresh mountain air. The idea is that spa tourists will come all year round, including in summer, when guests traditionally stay away. Most of the town's 2,500 residents work in the tourist industry. Hotels are one of the region's biggest employers.
Guesthouse of the former East German State Security
I'm staying in the boxy, six-storey Hotel Birkenhof, built in 1969. In communist East Germany, it was used as a guesthouse by the Ministry for State Security. After Oberhof in Thüringen, Oberwiesenthal was the country's second main winter sports resorts and a bustling place in peak season.
But when the Berlin Wall fell, its fortunes turned. The friendly woman at the reception tells me that even the Hotel Birkenhof, where the interior design got a makeover in 1991, was deserted for a few years. East Germans preferred to head to the Alps and glamorous resorts such as St. Moritz they'd never expected to be able to visit.
Oberwiesenthal offers a wide range of activities
Oberwiesenthal has long since grasped that tradition and great pistes aren't enough to attract visitors. Several businesses have diversified as much as possible.
I've signed up for a snowshoe hike. It's supposed to be relatively easy to get the hang of, and I like the idea of a long hike through the snowy landscape. The tour is led by local Heike Lautner, who juggles her job as a tour guide with another as a lace-making teacher.
Cross country with my snowshoes
We start out in Loučná on the Czech side, and as soon as I do up my laces, I start to feel invincible. The snowshoes help you get up slippery slopes and navigate icy terrain, and I'm amazed to discover that their broad soles mean I don't even sink into deep snow. On the way back down, I find myself wishing I could just slide most of the way, but it's certainly fun. I'm with a group that includes two couples from Chemnitz on holiday together, and we have such a great time I don't even notice how exhausting the hike is.
Lautner also fills us in on the history of the region. It boasts valuable natural resources and has belonged to both Saxony in Germany and Czech Bohemia at various different times. In 1938, against the will of the then Czechoslovakian government, the predominantly German-speaking part of Bohemia was added to the Third Reich. After the Second World War, the German-speaking population was expelled, making it all the more remarkable that today the tourist industries on both sides of the border are working together.
Meeting a high flyer
Former athlete Jens Weissflog has been running a hotel in Oberwiesenthal since 1996 and also gives guided tours of the border region. Despite his sporting success, he seems shy and unassuming when I meet up with him in the conservatory of the hotel restaurant.
He's won Olympic medals, world championships and the Four Hills Tournaments, but Jens Weissflog is a down-to-earth kind of guy. When an elderly man interrupts our conversation asking if he can take a picture, he's patient and friendly. He sees it as part of his job. When he left sports, he converted the holiday homes once used by the East German secret police into the "Appartmenthotel Jens Weissflog", aware that his fame would be good for business and marketing.
When Weissflog starts to talk about marketing and Oberwiesenthal, his shyness melts way. "Oberwiesenthal has so much untapped potential," he said. He feels it needs to do more to promote itself, "but of course that costs money."
"If no one knows how fantastic it is here, they're not going to come," he added.
Even though the resort is often referred to as the St. Moritz of the East, it needs more than a catchy tagline. Moreover, if winters in the Ore Mountains are going to continue to get milder, as experts fear, Oberwiesenthal can't afford to rely on an image that lost its gloss a long time ago.

First and foremost thank you to all the St. Boniface parishioners who helped a poor family in El Recreo make their dreams come true with a new home. The Rivas family thanks you from the bottom of their hearts. When Wendy Rivas was born she was paralyzed from the waist down. Her mother abandoned her and her two brothers in their infancy. Wendy's grandmother Marta and grandfather Alcidis have raised Wendy and her two brothers Rene and Kernan. This past May Wendy had a surgery that has helped her quality of life. This wouldn't have been possible without the donations of St. Boniface parishioners, non-parishioners, and Friends from Iowa Foundation (FFIF). In June three delegates from the St. Boniface group visited Wendy to see how she was recuperating. They also went to the home she had been living in and decided that the Rivas family could not return to those conditions. Using private donations of St. Boniface parishioners, the core group decided to build the Rivas family a home and announced it to the Rivas family.
To build the home, Hector, an area contractor who builds homes for Jerry and Kathy Burger, heads of FFIF, visited the property to see what he recommended as a new structure for the family. Next, the old structure was demolished. Excavation was completed for the foundation and cement was poured in the last few weeks.
The completed structure measures seven meters by seven meters with a hip roof, two corridors, and covered porches. The 530 square-foot structure is home to five family members. The walls of the main building are five cement blocks high, topped with wood-framed walls sheathed with heavy-duty metal siding. The two covered porches allow extra living area, a private bathing using, and the location of a large water basin (pila) to do laundry. The new roof includes a few translucent panels, allowing some light into the home, which has no electricity. Simple solar lighting may be installed at a later day. The floor will be concrete covered with tile-like squares for easy clean up. Also included are windows that open and close and a locking front door. In addition, an enclosed latrine will be included to replace the previous one which was little more than sticks supporting a piece of black plastic.
For images of Wendy's previous living conditions and her new home, please see these these two online photo albums:

Gone - I couldn't murder your promise
Right before my eyes
The revolutions of my psychosis
Kept me outta the way
Once - inside - all I hold is ash...
Fail - suppressing every feeling
I'm in so much pain
I have every fuckin' right to hate you
I can't take it!
The hardest part was knowing that I could never be you
Now all I do is sit around and wish I could forget you
My demise - I took a life worth living and
Made it worth a mockery
I deny - I fold, but they keep on coming
(Stop) I'm always ready to die
But you're killing me
Who are you to me? Who am I to you?
Is this a lesson in nepotistic negligence?
By default, you are my only link to the outside
Psychosomatic suicide
Where were you when I was down?
Can you show me a way...
To face everyday with this face - goodbye
My demise - I took a life worth living and
Made it worth a mockery
I deny - I fold, but they keep on coming
(Stop) I'm always ready to die
But you're killing me
When I blur my eyes, they make the whole
World breath - I see you fucking me
And I am absolutely controlly every urge
To mutilate - the one and only answer
So much for memories...
I wanna derss in your insecurities
And be the perfect you - I'm through
I'm out-stretched out for all to loathe
Here we go - the ultimate irony
|Gone I couldn't murder your promise Right before my eyes

St-Henri II
oil on linen
35 x 40 in
For twenty years, John Fox had a studio in the St-Henri area of Montreal, beside the Lachine Canal. He painted its jumble of factories and warehouses, streets and shrubbery as urban landscape, mixing what he saw with what he imagined. The pale tones of worn buildings against the dark colours of their surroundings turn the familiar into the exotic.

✨"Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life." Wayne Dyer✨ I truly believe that you can create abundance by simply doing what you were put on this earth to do. Keep following that which makes you happy and happiness will keep following you 🙏🏽. 🍊Blood Orange: This sweet fleshed fruit is native to Malaysia and slowly made its way to the Middle East, Africa and Europe. A highly prized fruit for many Chinese emperors. In fact in one Chinese dialect the word for orange means gold💛. The distinct red colour is due to pigment called anthocyanin, considered to be a powerful antioxidant. Traditionally used on sea voyages to ward off "scurvy" a disease caused by lack of vitamin C. Unfortunately they don't ripen once they've been picked.

Farm organisations should come clean on their CAP budget priorities
We now have a pretty good idea of what sort of budget the EU will allocate for the next Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) agreement.
And given this crucial development, is it not time for all the farming organisations to come out with a detailed assessment of what Ireland really needs in this regard? Surely, we have gone beyond the rhetoric of simply calling for a general increase in funding levels.
One of the big issues that must be addressed in the current CAP negotiations is that of re-introducing coupled payments.
The IFA (Irish Farmers' Association), for example, wants a bespoke headage payment for suckler cows. This is a coupled payment of sorts. And if it's an approach that can be taken for the beef sector, what about sheep or tillage for that matter?
Back then the argument was made that the EU would contravene World Trade Organisation (WTO) regulations, if it did not sever the link between production agriculture and the support made available to farmers.
That was 15 years ago. Since then the EU has signed up to free trade deals with a number of the world's leading food producing nations and wants to continue on down this path during the period ahead.
Take the deal struck with Canada as a case in point. Yes, milk quotas are a fact of life in that country. However, Canada's beef industry is totally committed to expansion and now views Europe as a key export destination for its output.
However, the core issue that must be recognised is the fact that most South American countries view the expansion of their farming sectors as a priority; and this is particularly so, where Brazil is concerned.
For one thing, the level of bureaucracy confronting farmers today is much greater than was the case even 10 years ago. Producers also need more clarity on how the various CAP support schemes can impact on their businesses.
Given this backdrop, it behoves the various farm stakeholder groups to clarify their policies now, particularly where the next CAP budget is concerned.

Worked ok until I moved USB ports & now the device is totally bricked. Not recognized, no light, can't even manually install the drivers.

The controller portion works flawlessly!! The only issue I'm coming up with is figuring out how to connect the wireless stereo headset through the adapter. There's no information online or in the manual on how to so I am a little disappointed because that was the main reason for getting the updated version. Developers contact me at email@example.com on fix of solution because customer service hasn't helped.
after a month or two it WILL NOT CONNECT to the controller no matter what i do. Micro$oft will not help, none of the help vids worked, old driver installs do nothing as the item is COMPLETELY bricked after a month of use just like all the other have warned. DO NOT USE THIS, only wired will suffice in the end, which SUCKS. Micro$oft get your sht straight, your how rich?????? what a JOKE u r...switching to a steel series controller, MUCH better....would rate a ZERO star if I could but they make me put a one star review....BAD PRODUCT

I switched to this newer style over the old one because of its size. The adapter worked flawlessly for the first 2 months I was using it, then it failed mid game and completely bricked itself. Light wont turn on, cant mess with drivers, and worst of all it caused my PC to completely fail and not even post when it is connected. Now I have to try and find the only one I had because it worked more than perfectly since I purchased it very shortly after it released. Would be 5 stars if it wouldnt have completely failed on me.

Lost in the tango!
During this year's festival, an entire evening will be dedicated to tango at Sentralen. Of all the partner dances found throughout our planet, we dare to claim that tango – which originated on the border between Uruguay and Argentina – is the most beautiful and sensual of all of them. UNESCO does not necessarily disagree: In 2009, the dance was included on their cultural world heritage list.
This Friday, the audience can dance and experience two totally unique concerts. In addition, the Marble Hall at Sentralen will be transformed into a Milonga throughout the night, not totally unlike the many legendary tango clubs in Buenos Aires back streets.

Escalandrum feat. Elena Roger (AR)
Escalandrum is among the foremost ambassadors of the Argentinian cultural heritage. The Buenos Aires based jazz ensemble do not only have badges of honor to show for – as winners of both Gardel and Konex, they possess the country's greatest music awards – but also music and merits.
Since its foundation around the turn of the millennium, Escalandrum has retained its original lineup. Led by composer and drummer Daniel "Pipi" Piazolla, the sextet shares blood with the man behind the More >

Tennessee's Eddy Niz shines in brand new Elevator premiered visual
Eddy Niz goes crazy in this Armin Smajilovic video.
Eddy Niz is Tennessee's hidden gem. Memphis receives a surplus of media attention and puts a new artist on quarterly, and Nashville has begun to put on a platform for exposure, but it seems Eddy Niz is all too often overlooked. I don't think this trend will continue because of this video. "New Groove" is Eddy's newest of two singles along with Topper Atwood.
"New Groove" is remarkable in several ways. Eddy's flow is impeccable and one of the smoothest and hardest-hitting I have heard in all of my listenings, recently. The song's hook is a marvel of clever lyrics and delivery. Lines like "…Drankin' move slow, school zone," and "I might shoot like Korver, new groove like Kuzco," are special in a trap scene seemingly saturated by the same few lines recycled by every rapper.
The video is visually stunning and perfectly edited, featuring a striking image of Eddy swimming in a cup of lean. Nashville's Armin Smajilovic edited the video. Props to him. I urge you to check out one of the most underrated artists in the Southeast. Remember the name Eddy Niz.

On October 17, 2018 marketing and sale of cannabis will no longer be a criminal offence in Canada. However, the federal government has done its best to remove the appeal of cannabis and related products by introducing a strict regulatory regime to govern the promotion and packaging of such products.
When legalized, cannabis will cease to be governed under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and will instead be governed under the Cannabis Act. [Bill C-45, an Act respecting cannabis and to amend the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, the Criminal Code and other Acts]. The coming into force will trigger coordinating amendments to many other statutes and the promulgation of four sets of regulations under the Cannabis Act: (1) Cannabis Regulations; (2) new Industrial Hemp Regulations; (3) Qualifications for Designation as Analyst Regulations (Cannabis); and, (3) Cannabis Act (Police Enforcement) Regulations.
This article will provide a brief overview of rules for the packaging of cannabis and related products contained in the Cannabis Regulations which are expected to be published in the Canada Gazette, Part II, on July 11, 2018.
Purpose of Marketing and Packaging Regulations
The stated purpose for regulating the promotion and packaging is to promote informed consumer choice by clearly identifying potency and health risks while preventing the use of packaging design elements which could induce young people or others to use cannabis.
Required Product Information
The following information will be required on all packaging:
- Name and contact information of the processor who packaged the product;
- Product description (brand name and class of cannabis);
- Product lot number;
- Product weight or volume, depending on the product class;
- Packaging date (and expiry date, if one has been set);
- Recommended storage conditions;
- THC / CBD content (expressed as the percentage of THC / CBD the product could yield, and by unit or dose, if applicable);
- Number of units/doses, if applicable;
- The statement: "KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN"; and
- For cannabis oil, the type of carrier oil and the name of any allergens.
All of this required information must be shown in black sans-serif type on a white background in both English and French. There are specific requirements for the text size and positioning of this information.
Standardized Cannabis Symbol
In addition to the required product information, a standardized cannabis symbol must appear on the principal display panel of every package. The cannabis symbol is red and black and it must appear in the upper left 25% of the principal display panel, be oriented with the text readable from right to left and have a minimum size of 1.27 cm x 1.27 cm.
Mandatory Health Warning
A mandatory health warning message must also appear on every label. The health warning must appear in black text on a bright yellow background. There are specific requirements for layout, positioning, font and print size. There will be a series of 14 accepted warnings published with the regulations and each warning will be required to appear on the packaging for each brand name with equal frequency in a calendar year. An example is provided below.
Packaging Appearance
The regulations also place strict limitations on the appearance of cannabis packaging generally.
The brand name of the product may appear in any non-metallic, non-florescent colour, and any style and type size, so long as the type size is equal to or smaller than the type size used for the health warning message.
Only one additional brand element may appear on the package along with the brand name. A brand element can be a brand name, trademark, logo, design or slogan that is reasonably associated with or evokes cannabis, a cannabis accessory or a related service. If the brand element is text or a logo, it may be no larger than the standardized cannabis symbol. The definition of "brand element" in the Cannabis Act includes "distinguishing guise", which refers to the protection of the unique shape of a product or its packaging.
The background of colour of the packaging must be a single uniform colour. The inside of the package must also be a single uniform colour, although the inside and outside colours may be different. Fluorescent or metallic colours are prohibited. Any colour that is used must contrast with the red colour of the standardized cannabis symbol and the yellow background of the health warning message. The labels and packaging may not have any glossy coating, embossing (raised or recessed relief images), texture, foil, cut-outs or peel-away labels.
Cannabis products (other than cannabis plants or cannabis seeds) are to be packaged in an immediate container that is tamper-evident, child-resistant, prevents contamination and keeps cannabis dry. Any over-wrap must be colourless and transparent.
The regulations further provide that the package may have no hidden features designed to change its appearance or surface area. Packaging cannot emit or produce scent or sound. Barcodes must be rectangular and contain no image or design. The use of branding or images on the interior of the package is prohibited, and no inserts may be included in any package.
Transition Provisions
Medicinal marijuana products are currently packaged and labelled in accordance with the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (SOR/2016-230). It is expected that there will be a six-month transitional period following the coming into force of the Cannabis Act, to allow the packaging of cannabis products for medical purposes to be changed to meet the new regulations.
Health products containing cannabis which are currently approved for sale under the Food and Drugs Act and its regulations will continue to be marketed and remain available to Canadians as they are now.
Proposed regulations on cannabis edibles and concentrates have not yet been released. The House of Commons Standing Committee on Health has indicated that the sale of cannabis edible products and concentrates will be authorized no later than 12 months following the coming into force of the Cannabis Act. Regulations are expected within this time frame.
More generally, the Cannabis Act prohibits the promotion or sale of cannabis, cannabis accessories or cannabis related services,
- in a manner that there are reasonable grounds to believe that could be appealing to young persons;
- that sets out a testimonial or endorsement, however displayed or communicated;
- that sets out a depiction of a person, character or animal, whether real or fictional;
- that associates the cannabis or one of its brand elements with, or evokes a positive or negative emotion about or image of, a way of life such as one that includes glamour, recreation, excitement, vitality, risk or daring; or
- that contains any information that is false, misleading or deceptive or that is likely to create an erroneous impression about the characteristics, value, quantity, composition, strength, concentration, potency, purity, quality, merit, safety, health effects or health risks of the cannabis.
In addition, there are more prohibitions against: (i) targeting young persons in promotions; (ii) providing inducements such as free samples, gifts with purchase, games or contests; (iii) in the sponsorship of persons, entities, events, activities or facilities; or (iv) as part of the name of a facility that is used for cultural or sports activities. Even "communicating information about price and distribution" to consumers will be largely restricted to the point of sale.
Some exceptions are available for business to business marketing and the use of cannabis brands on promotional items with no connection to cannabis (ie. pens and t-shirts).
For media businesses and marketing firms, it will be important to note that it will also be unlawful to "publish, broadcast or otherwise disseminate, on behalf of another person" any promotion that violates the regulations. In other words, they may be held directly liable for violations prepared or published on behalf of others.
Unfortunately, many of the prohibitions provide no "bright line" tests for determining compliance and will be subject to interpretation when the law comes into force. To avoid the attention of the authorities, prudence is recommended.
Trademark Considerations
Taking into account all of the mandatory information and warnings which must appear on the packaging of cannabis products, and the limitations on packaging backgrounds and special effects, it becomes clear a business has only a narrow opportunity to distinguish its product from those of its competitors. There are only two elements to work with: (1) the brand name and (2) the brand element. Thus, it is critically important to choose elements that are highly distinctive, can be registered as trademarks and broadly enforced against competitors.
After eliminating marks which appeal to young people, depict persons, characters or animals, are testimonial, evoke lifestyle imagery, or could be false or misleading in any manner, the pool of remaining choices may seem very small. While we cannot offer inspiration, we can provide some guidance.
Try to choose a trademark which has little or no descriptive connection to the product. Businesses are often tempted to select marks that are descriptive or highly suggestive in order to convey a clear impression of the product itself. Unfortunately, descriptive or suggestive terms cannot be monopolized and result in weak trademarks. From a marketing perspective, it is hard to distinguish one trader from many businesses in the same field merely relying on descriptive words. From a legal perspective, such marks cannot be broadly enforced. For example, in the present context, a business may be tempted to choose CANNASMOKE as a trademark for cannabis products. However, as of the date of writing this article, a search of the Canadian trademarks register discloses that "canna" is an element in over 400 trademarks. As a result, CANNASMOKE would do little to set a cannabis product apart from its competition and would not enjoy broad legal protection against copycats. Coined terms take more marketing effort to imbue with meaning, but such invented marks can be very strong trademarks from both a legal and marketing perspective in the long run (e.g. KODAK or XEROX).
For logos, try to develop bold marks with a large surface area, but little complexity so they will reproduce well on the relatively small portion of the package available for a brand element.
Try to ensure that the selected trademark will comply with the regulations prior to filing any trademark application. While a trademark registration grants the registrant the right to prohibit others from adopting the same or similar trademark, it does not authorize the registrant to use their registered trademark. Trademarks, like other forms of intellectual property, are negative rights. For example, there are many registered trademarks that include the word "organic", but which may not be lawfully used for food products that do not qualify as "organic" under federal regulation. The registration of a trademark does not avoid the need to comply with other relevant regulations for the associated products or services.
To arrive at an effective trademark, start by brainstorming, then weed out the marks that cannot be used effectively or protected broadly. When you have a short list of marks, compare them against the prohibitions set out in the Cannabis Act, keeping in mind that if there are reasonable grounds to believe your mark contravenes the prohibition, it would be prudent to re-think your choices.

John Thomas Wilkinson, born on February 6, 1883, left his parents and brothers at Cote Hill Farm, Nor thumberland, England, and sailed from Liverpool on May 7, 1904. He landed at Halifax on May 17, and travelled by train to Winnipeg, changing trains in Montreal. Arriving in Winnipeg on May 21st he then proceeded by train to Minnedosa where he hired a man and rig to take him to Danvers where he started work for Mr. Tales on his farm.
He left Danvers in April, 1905, and worked on farms in Harding, Bradwardine, Margaret and Dunrea in the Brandon area before leaving to return to England in November, 1905, crossing Lake Superior from Fort William, through the Sault to Sarnia en route. From there by train to Montreal, where he boarded a ship for home.
However, the freedom of the new land called and remembering a small, secluded lake which he had found while on a Sunday walk some miles north of Mr. Tales' farm, he returned in May, 1908, to homestead the west half of Section 33-18-18W. He noted while coming through Winnipeg that the city had improved since he had left four years ago, most of the main streets being asphalted and there were several fine new buildings.
In his diary he also noted on May 31, 1909, that 1500 immigrants had come into Winnipeg on that day and many were farmers.
In 1910, John's elder brother, William, his wife and two small daughters, Isabella and Margaret, joined him and homesteaded to the east across the Whirlpool River. Both brothers built log homes at this time, which stood for many years.
John, by now being called Jack by his Canadian friends, enlisted in a reserve unit in Winnipeg on June 28, 1916. He was sent to France and served for 14 months there with the 43rd Cameron Highlanders. While serving in the trenches in France he was wounded, suffering gunshot wounds to right and left shoulders, from which he recovered, though the effects of these injuries would trouble him several years later. He returned to Winnipeg in January, 1919, and was demobilized there on January 31st and returned to his farm.
Jack loved horses, cared for them well and was known for his frisky teams. He cleared many acres of the farm with their help. Later he would work in the field in the daylight hours, returning to stack sheaves in the moonlight while his horses rested.
Winters at that time were long and cold and he was to remember later, in reminiscing, of having crossed the ice covered lake during May of one of those early years with a team and sleighload of oats, a short-cut to Erickson.
In May, 1921, Jack again travelled to Winnipeg to meet his childhood sweetheart coming from Ponteland, England. His brother, William, joined them for their wedding at the home of Reverend and Mrs. A. Hamilton, in Winnipeg.
Hannah brought many trunks of family linen and china to the log home on the farm. Siding soon covered the logs and a kitchen was added. Hannah later talked of

A compact numerical method for simulating ultrafast pulse interaction with inhomogeneously broadened multi-level media is reported. We use a low-dispersion pseudospectral scheme with fourth order time stepping for Maxwell's equations, and a weakly coupled operator splitting method for the Bloch equations where inhomogeneous broadening and relaxations are also taken into account. The underlying physics is briefly discussed with emphasis on the formalism used.
