Open Thread: Talk About What Matters Most to You
Discuss and debate the issues that mean the most to you.
'Tis the season for facial hair, courtesy of Movember, although Rachel Rubin rightly pointed out that there are some serious problems with how the event is currently framed and handled. Much like breast cancer awareness, Movember has become a juggernaut of misdirected funds and general grossness, rather than a legitimate effort to address serious men's health issues.
And for the women who want to participate, it's quite a minefield. Rachel collected an assortment of nasty Tweets about women with facial hair in her piece on Movember, illustrating broader social attitudes about ladies sporting mustaches, beards, sideburns or, really, anything even vaguely resembling hair on their faces. Bearded ladies are supposed to be freakshows, something to be pointed and laughed at, rather than women who happen to have facial hair, for whatever reason.
Unlike men, women aren't socially allowed to choose facial hair as an aesthetic choice and as part of their personal expression. They're supposed to shave it, wax it, laser it or otherwise remove it. Just get it off, because women aren't supposed to have hairy faces.
Those kinds of attitudes really suck for women who genuinely do want to sport facial hair for whatever reason, and they're also hard on women who have facial hair and really wish they didn't. Despite what many men seem to think, facial hair to some degree actually isn't all that uncommon on women, and there are a variety of medical conditions that can be associated with increased facial hair growth, particularly polycystic ovary syndrome.
Some women have facial hair. Deal with it.
That's the case with Siobhain Fletcher, who decided that rather that shaving her face every other day to keep growth down, she'd let her facial hair grow out for the month of November. Not just to raise awareness for men's health issues and to raise money for charity, but also to make a statement about self-esteem and to highlight a simple fact. Some women have facial hair. Deal with it.
In her profile at The Daily Mail, the facts of life as a teen and young woman with facial hair emerge, and they're extremely depressing. Fletcher talks about desperately trying to get rid of it, being mocked and teased, and isolating herself to avoid interacting with the public. She had extremely low self-esteem, preferring the company of her horses to that of judgmental humans.
Perhaps saddest of all, she didn't get a diagnosis of PCOS until she sought assistance while she was trying to get pregnant and was struggling with infertility. In other words, despite the fact that she was experiencing excessive facial hair growth, neither she (nor her parents, when she was a teen), thought of taking the issue to a doctor, and none of the doctors she saw for routine care thought of evaluating her to determine if something was medically wrong.
She could have been diagnosed much, much earlier, and she could have been provided with information about treatment options. In a society where there's so much shame about facial hair on women, it's telling that women with facial hair they find excessive assume there's nothing to be done about it, and don't seek medical evaluation to determine if they need medical treatment.
Ultimately, it sounds like Fletcher has found the experience of growing out and embracing her facial hair really empowering; in part, that's probably because she's been living with it for a long time. But she's also finding a greater acceptance within herself for her fantastic beard and mustache, and she's speaking out about self-image and self-esteem; she's even talking to students about self-esteem issues. A far cry from hiding in her home because she doesn't want to deal with the outside world.
I can't help but contrast Fletcher with Balpreet Kaur, the Sikh woman who captivated the news cycle a few months ago because a picture of her sporting facial hair showed up on Reddit, people mocked her and she entered the comment thread to talk about her faith and her facial hair. I love Kaur's words about her facial hair and how not cutting her hair is part of her expression of religious faith, and think she's another great model for women who might be struggling with self-esteem because their bodies don't look like they're "supposed" to.
Like Fletcher, Kaur is often misgendered, both accidentally and deliberately in acts of misogyny, and she's forced to routinely deal with nasty comments and assumptions because of how she looks. Both women are making a pretty profound statement by going out in public with their facial hair in full flower. That statement includes not just a confrontation of sexist attitudes on the part of men convinced that facial hair is their exclusive property, but also a signal to people of all genders who experience a troubled relationship with their body image.
Women in particular experience such social pressure to force their bodies to conform; they are expected to have gender presentations that fit within a very narrow outline of acceptable parameters. Women who step outside those boundaries are told they aren't sexy, aren't really women, are gross to look at, don't belong.
For girls and young women who are just starting to explore their relationships with their bodies, such messaging is incredibly damaging. And it makes me wish we had more Balpreet Kaurs and Siobhan Fletchers in the world, reminding people that "woman" comes in a lot of different flavors, and all of them are pretty great.
Facial hair on women doesn't have to be the end of the world; in fact, it can actually be pretty hot.

I made a quick and dirty script to see if some combination of + and -'s between all the digits of that string would return 42.
After running for an hour though, I decided that I needed to test this by hand:
Unfortunately, as you can see, the string contains an odd number of odd digits. This means that no combination of + and -'s between all the digits can return an even number. So there is no simple solution that equals 42

As you drive through the highways and byways of Southern Utah, where the Virgin River winds peacefully through stunning red rock vistas, you turn a certain corner and you'll see it, a magnificent and historic structure, the Rockville Bridge. And as you take in the picturesque view, you begin to realize the structure does more than just span the Virgin River; it's a bridge to Utah's past.
Rockville Mayor Pam Leach explains why the bridge holds a significant place in the hearts of both Rockville residents and the thousands of tourists who have used it over the years. "It's a single lane bridge, so you're forced to slow down when you cross it. This gives you a chance to look down the river to see the herons, ducks, Canadian geese, deer, and other wildlife. Slowing down and taking in the natural beauty of the surrounding area makes people remember where we come from."
The Rockville Bridge was built in 1924 by the National Park Service to provide access for tourists that were coming from the Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon National Parks. The bridge is believed to be the only structure outside of national park boundaries to be funded by the U.S. Park Service and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.
Joyce Hartless, a Rockville resident and board member on the Rockville Historic Preservation Committee, discusses the history of the bridge. "Stephen Mather was the first National Park Director and back in the early days of the Park Service, he was really involved in the park-to-park highway system. He wanted to see automobile transportation come out to the national parks and had the idea to try to connect all the parks via roadways."
In addition to its historical significance to the national parks, the Rockville Bridge is also architecturally unique. Hartless explains, "The bridge is the last remaining Parker truss through bridge in the state of Utah. A Parker truss bridge is a variation of the Pratt truss bridge. The Parker's polygonal top chord of more than five slopes provides greater strength than the Pratt, allowing for longer spans. The Rockville Bridge spans approximately 220 feet, making it technologically significant because it incorporates distinctive characteristics in its method of construction."
Mayor Leach adds, "Historians have called Rockville, 'Utah's last treasure' and the bridge is part of what gives the town that distinction." "The bridge is like the heart of the community," adds Hartless.
Longtime Rockville resident, and great-great-grandson of one of Rockville's founders, Van Terry Bell, discusses the importance of the bridge. "When I was young, we used to come down here at night to sit on the bridge. When it would rain, we would come down and watch the water rise up. Sometimes it came almost up to the bridge. I think some of the younger kids still do that today. They gather at the bridge at night to sit and talk."
"It's a very popular place for wedding and family photos," Mayor Leach adds. "The Piano Guys filmed one of their music videos, Home, on the bridge. They played their piano and cello on the bridge with the beautiful green trees behind them and the water going down the river way. It's a very photogenic setting."
As the historic bridge approaches 100 years of use, it's in need of repair and restoration. In 2016, the Utah Department of Transportation's committee controlling federal funds for bridge projects gave Rockville a large grant to rehabilitate the historic truss bridge, but there were some conditions involved. Hartless explains, "The town had to match that grant with 6.77% or $169,250. To date we've raised about $70,000 in our bridge fund, plus we've paid for the engineering study that we needed, so we've got to raise about another $100,000 more by October of 2017 when construction is expected to start."
People willing to donate can do so by going to rockvilleutah.org and clicking on the link for the Rockville Bridge. All donations and support will be greatly appreciated. Mayor Leach concludes, "Hopefully by making a donation you will feel good about having preserved some of Utah's history for the future."

The Book Affair
↑ David Horvitz hiding.
↑ AA Bronson.
↑ My talk.
↑ Photos above by Automatic Books.
Here are some scenes (and lots more) from Automatic Books' The Book Affair, a three-day book fair during the opening of the Venice Biennale. Unlike the larger, more well-known fairs, this was small, intimate, casual and every single table was of remarkable quality. There were presentations by Giorgio Maffei, Dexter Sinister and David Horvitz in the evenings and ongoing talks throughout the two days, including mine. We got lots of traffic, even in the rain. Reactions to Library of the Printed Web were really satisfying, which has got me thinking about what to do next. I have to admit that I much preferred presenting and selling other artists' work, rather than my own. It's becoming obvious that one idea is to work directly with some of the artists in the collection to produce new work, either as a publisher and/or in a physical space (gallery). Lots to think about for the fall…
One Comment
I just read this today. Last night I tweeted, "Since it's late, and no one's around: I'd really like to be my own little publishing house, edit at times, write at times, [and do] art projects." (!)
I agree, too, that I prefer presenting and selling other's work. I'm so excited about what the other person has created that I'm communicating enthrallment. When I wrote my own book, I came across as, "Well, I suppose you can buy it if you really want to." (Imagine sad face.) Yes, a real charmer.

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has not been approached for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's dream project 'Bajirao Mastani', according to sources close to the actor.
There were reports that SRK would be doing SLB's film with Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif also featuring in it.
"He (Shah Rukh) is not approached for this film. We don't know where these reports are coming from. He is busy shooting for 'Happy New Year'. The other projects that he would work on are Yash Raj Films' 'Fan' a and Rahul Dholakia's film," a source close to the actor said.
According to reports, Bhansali was shooting for 'Ram Leela' when SRK dropped by and expressed his interest in playing Bajirao.
"It is all not true. The script is not ready yet," sources close to Bhansali said.
The director had first planned the project with 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam' lead pair — Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai — but things did not work out after their relationship ended on a bitter note. Names of actors like SRK and Ajay Devgn have been cropping up.

Mechanism: Disulfiram (Antabuse®) interferes with degradation of alcohol, resulting in accumulation of acetaldehyde which, in turn, produces a very unpleasant reaction including flushing, nausea, and palpitations if the patient drinks alcohol. It's available in oral form (once daily dosing).
Efficacy: The utility and effectiveness of disulfiram are considered limited because compliance is generally poor when patients are given it to take at their own discretion. It is most effective when given in a monitored fashion, such as in a clinic or by a spouse. (If a spouse or other family member is the monitor, instruct both monitor and patient that the monitor should simply observe the patient taking the medication and call you if the patient stops taking the medication for 2 days.) Some patients will respond to self-administered disulfiram, however, especially if they're highly motivated to abstain. Others may use it episodically for high-risk situations, such as social occasions where alcohol is present.

This species is listed as Vulnerable because, although there have been rapid declines in the past, the improving status of the population and habitat, in particular following the successful eradication of the last introduced predators (Pacific rat Rattus exulans) on Little Barrier Island (where by far the largest numbers breed), leading to an increase in fledging success from 5% to 70%. This key step in turning the fortunes of the species followed the earlier eradication of cats from Little Barrier Island in 1980, and Weka Gallirallus australis from Codfish Island in the early 1980s. Although tiny numbers still occur on Great Barrier Island it may have been effectively extinct as a reproductively viable population for several decades.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|Pterodroma cookii is endemic to New Zealand, where it breeds on Little Barrier, Great Barrier and Codfish Islands. On Great Barrier, only 12 burrows have been found during the last 25 years; there may be fewer than 20 pairs (Imber et al 2003) and it is extinct as a reproductively viable population, probably owing largely to the presence of rats Rattus spp. (M. Rayner in litt. 2012). On Codfish the population declined from c.20,000 pairs in the early 1900s almost to extinction before predators were removed in 1982; it is now increasing and was estimated at 5,000 breeding pairs in 2007 (Marchant and Higgins 1990, Heather and Robertson 1997, Imber et al 2003, Rayner et al. 2008), and in 2012 was thought to number c.5,000-6,000 breeding pairs (M. Rayner in litt. 2012). The population on Little Barrier is also likely to be increasing (Marchant and Higgins 1990, Taylor 2000), and modelling and spatial analysis has suggested that as many as 286,000 pairs may breed on the island annually (Rayner 2007); six times the number previously suggested (Anon. 2007) Little Barrier/Hauturu Island supports 98% of the world population, with the remainder breeding on Codfish/Whenua Hau Island, off Stewart Island. In 2010, 50 chicks were translocated from Little Barrier to Hawke's Bay peninsula, south of Cape Kidnappers (Fallwell 2010). The project aims to translocate 350 chicks to build up the colony by 2013, following the fencing of a 2.5-ha site against mice and other predators (Fallwell 2010). Birds migrate to the eastern Pacific Ocean, mainly between 34°S and 30°N (Heather and Robertson 1997) although vagrants do wander as far north as the Gulf of Alaska and south of the Aleutians (Howell 2012). Behavioural, morphological and genetic analyses has produced evidence of a distinct population genetic structure (Rayner et al. 2010), and a recent study of year-round movements indicates two separate migration routes over historic timescales, with birds at Little Barrier migrating to the northern Pacific Ocean and birds at the Codfish Islands migrating to the Humboldt Current (Rayner et al. 2011). These data imply that the two populations may be best treated as different subspecies and represent separate management units (M. Rayner in litt. 2012).

|M. Rayner (in litt. 2012) estimates over 650,000 mature individuals on Little Barrier in 2007 and c.15,000 mature individuals on the Cod fish Islands in 2008, thus the total population estimate is rounded to c.670,000 mature individuals.
Trend Justification: The population has suffered rapid declines owing to the effects of introduced predators; however, thanks to conservation action and invasive species eradications it is now estimated to be increasing.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|It breeds in burrows on forested ridges and steep slopes at 300-700 m on Little Barrier and 4-350 m on Codfish; ideal breeding habitat is unmodified forest close to ridgetops with a low and open canopy and many large stems (Marchant and Higgins 1990, Rayner et al 2007). It formerly bred in suitable habitat throughout New Zealand (Imber et al 2003). It feeds mainly on squid, crustaceans and small fish (Heather and Robertson 1997).
|Terrestrial; Marine
|Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat:
|Generation Length (years):
|Movement patterns:
|Full Migrant
|Congregatory (and dispersive)
|Major Threat(s):
|On Little Barrier, introduced cats were a major predator of chicks and adults. Although cats were eradicated, the number of petrel burrows with chicks declined from 32% when both cats and Pacific rats were present to just 9% following cat eradication because the population of Rattus exulans (also a predator of petrel chicks) increased dramatically (Heather and Robertson 1997, G. A. Taylor in litt. 1999, Taylor 2000, Rayner et al 2007). On Great Barrier, the population is severely threatened by cats, black rat R. rattus and Pacific rat R. exulans. On Codfish, the population declined owing to severe predation by the introduced Weka Gallirallus australis (Marchant and Higgins 1990).
|Conservation Actions:
Conservation Actions Underway
Cats were eradicated from Little Barrier by 1980, and Weka was eradicated from Codfish between 1980 and 1985 (Taylor 2000). Pacific rat was successfully eradicated from Little Barrier Island in 2004, increasing fledging success from 5% to 70% (Rayner et al 2007, Rayner et al. 2008). An eradication operation took place in August 1998 on Codfish - the outcome of which is unknown (D. V. Merton in litt. 1998). Translocation of chicks from Little Barrier to another potential nest site, Cape Sanctuary in Hawke's Bay peninsula, is on-going (M. Rayner in litt. 2012). Chicks have been transferred at 50-60 days of age, 20 days before fledging, so that they have time to identify with their new location without needing prolonged feeding (Fallwell 2010). In early 2012, c.250 had been moved during three years (M. Rayner in litt. 2012).
Conservation Actions Proposed
Survey Codfish to locate new breeding burrows and colonies. Monitor breeding success and recruitment on Codfish, and map burrows at five-yearly intervals. Monitor the status of the population on Great Barrier: collect dead birds, tag and map active burrows, and record locations of display areas. Implement appropriate pest control if a colony (more than five burrows) is found on Great Barrier. Reintroduce to mainland "islands" (areas of the mainland with intensive predator control) (Imber et al 2003).

Chapter 16 Summary
Every time Jones looks at Min, he thinks about Lutie. He now hates Lutie. He goes outside for a breath of fresh air and sees that the sun has come out. Mrs. Hedges tells him from her window that Min is gone. Unsure whether or not she is telling the truth, he enters his apartment. He knows right away that she is gone. The room seems deserted.
He tries to rearrange the furniture because of the big empty space where Min's table once sat, but nothing feels right. "He hadn't realized how familiar he had become with all the detail of that table until it was gone." When he goes into the bedroom to make sure she did not take anything that did not belong to her. The closet is so clean it appears that she had never been there. He thinks that...

Classical theories of rhetoric are right about one thing: writing comes to us. The history of literacy is the history of how we receive this technological implement. It is a history of how we prepare ourselves for the encounter.
|Source: Xenophilia
This technology
Let's start with this. We learn to write in school. This is where we get the wrong impression (like all the wrong impressions that will come to haunt us at various points) that we have an active role in the bringing about of writing. This is where we get the intoxicating illusion that we somehow midwife writing into the world; that we are some kind of generators.
In fact, our lives are mere by-products of writing.
Writing is a technology; therefore, it is exterior to us. Writing doesn't dwell in the same place where we dwell. In order for it to come in contact with us, we need to leave some doors open. We need to pretend we're letting air circulate through our dwelling, while, in fact, we're ushering writing in – our backs turned to the door, as we're pretending to be busy doing other, possibly more important, things. Then, once the arrival is complete and writing has taken its place in our lives, we can turn our face to the door and utter, with resounding confidence, that life without writing is impossible. In the process, we grow determined enough to punish those who believe otherwise.
The journey
One thing is certain. At this stage in the history of humanity it is too late to say that we can destroy, (even alter) the tie between us and the writing-technology. The tie has become so naturalized (i.e. we have so far advanced from the mere – albeit complex – representation of wild life on the walls of a cage), we cannot imagine anything without it. Indeed, to remove writing from our lives would mean to remove lives from ourselves. This is how well we have mastered this technology; this is how well we have welcomed it.
|Source: Life as a Human
The journey of writing towards us is not a simple one. To make the encounter possible at all, we need to educate ourselves; we need to break our spirits to receive the blessing of this encounter. Without training, writing would fly past us and we wouldn't even know its presence. Isn't this what they teach us in schools? That if you want to be a good writer you need to flagellate yourself? That good texts come with enormous quantities of suffering? That the only acceptable image of a good writer is the Romantic one of the weeping genius? Of course, the blessing itself is a formation, a cultural illusion, a machination even; and one that, unfortunately, knows no alternative. Not an acceptable one, anyway.
The barbarian force
Among my favourite poems there's this one: "Waiting for the Barbarians," by Konstantinos Kavafis. I imagine the urgency of our relationship to writing in terms very similar to those expressed in this poem. Here, the encounter is at the same time a threat and a promise; a blessing and a curse, a truth and a lie, a thing we need and a thing we could probably live without. Here are the first few lines:
"What are we waiting for, assembled in the forum?
The barbarians are due here today.
Why isn't anything happening in the senate?
Why do the senators sit there without legislating?
Because the barbarians are coming today.
What laws can the senators make now?
Once the barbarians are here, they'll do the legislating."
You're getting the point, right? Senators, the assembled forum, the collective 'us' of the narrative voice? It's the stronghold of our confidence in things known well. But there's a threat approaching; a terrible threat. The Barbarian. Writing. The Barbarian. Writing. The Barbarian. Writing. Oh, no. The pressure builds up and we can stand no more. There's a crisis here. There's a moment of great impasse.
Let's replace 'barbarians' with 'writing.' There's no more legislation possible, because we're now open to the force that will legislate everything. Let us learn how to write, and then everything will appear to us written. How not to fear this? How not to send the invitation?

|From Shaun Tan, The Arrival. Source: www.shauntan.net
Kavafis' poem balances the evidence of the arrival against the threat of never-coming. The city prepares itself. The city – which is us, the learning individuals – adorns itself. The king, the senators, the consuls, the praetors, the people – all of them ready to kneel before the force of the unbeatable barbarian, the stranger that comes, the technology that would teach us. Throughout the poem, there's a long litany of things lost and regretted, a background voice constantly wailing, Hey, what's going on? What's happening to all these things we know? Why have they stopped working? Then in the end the charm breaks. The barbarians never come. To the perplexing reality of this missed arrival, which leaves everyone and everything suspended in mid-air, the poem answers:
"And now, what's going to happen to us without barbarians?
They were, those people, a kind of solution."
After Kavafis
I like to think about the adventure of writing coming to us in the terms of Kavafis' poem. There's a list of institutions which prepare themselves for the encounter with writing and which, in the meantime, prepare us for the same. There's the family, of course: the first members of society, the closest to us, who already show us the proof of writing's existence before we have had a chance of seeing writing at all. They are literate before us, in the sense of a chronological priority, but also in the sense of a demonstrative priority: their literacy stands before us, as proof, as promise, as threat, as model.
Then there's the proof of our names, another prophecy. We come upon ourselves, so to speak, through the realization that we are recordable, that there is a name given to us so as to be easier for the others to point us out. Not to remember us – because remembering takes into account physical traits –, but to point us out. As named creatures, we are pointed out. Made of points as if of full stops. We are creatures whose relevance is given by their ability to become signs on a piece of paper.
Then, for those who attend religious rituals, there is the proof of sacred texts. All religions teach through scriptures: through things that have been written, whether by other humans or through the direct agency of divine emanations. They too indicate how writing will be coming to us, how we are going to experience it when we'll be face-to-face with it. We learn, here and now, that the first thing we'll ever write will be our own name.
|Source: Goins, Writer
And then, of course, the schools – impossible to circumvent. What's central to the concept of literacy is that through the techniques we learn in schools (of writing, of composing, of using rhetoric to persuade, and so on) we lay traps to catch this eternal visitor, writing. There's always a trick to be mastered in order to capture the visitor. For instance, the trick of using drawing techniques for the reproduction of letters. Or the trick Dominic pointed out last week on this blog, of using boxes to assure that writing doesn't go out of bounds; that it stays nicely caged, tamed, subjected, imprisoned. This, like all the forms mentioned above, is pre-scribed writing. Scribed, or scripted, before us (once again, as a chronological, as well as a demonstrative priority).

'Nuclear power safe in China'March 6th, 2012 - 2:05 pm ICT by IANS
Beijing, March 6 (IANS) China's existing technology can ensure the safety of the country's nuclear power plants, experts say.
The experts belong to the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), a political advisory body comprising delegates from a range of organisations, as well as independent members, the China Daily reported.
Nuclear power currently accounts for a very small proportion of China's energy structure but will remain an important part of the country's future energy requirements, according to Zhang Guobao, former director of the China National Energy Bureau, Xinhua reported Tuesday.
According to Liu Wei, deputy general manger of China Nuclear Power Engineering Co Ltd, the safety of China's nuclear power plants both under operation and construction is guaranteed. After years of effort, China's nuclear industry has formed an entire industrial service chain capability with a good foundation and advantages of nuclear energy export.
On March 11, 2011, the Fukushima nuclear crisis which occurred in the wake of a devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan, aroused concerns among the Chinese general public over the safety of the country's nuclear power stations.
Such concerns resulted in the suspension of the start of construction of four nuclear reactors. In 2011, no new nuclear power projects were approved by the government.

A photographer traveling with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the UN General Assembly last week stayed behind and has sought asylum in the United States, CNN reported.
His lawyer, Paul O'Dwyer, told CNN Monday that Hassan Golkanbhan feared persecution over his opposition to the Iranian government, and that his wife and two children had fled Iran for an undisclosed safe haven.
The lawyer said suspicions about Golkanbhan's political views had arisen during the trip, on which Ahmadinejad addressed the world body for the last time as president amid mounting pressure over Iran's nuclear program.
O'Dwyer declined to comment on Golkanbhan's whereabouts, but said he was awaiting an asylum interview with US authorities that could take months.
The United States and its allies have ramped up sanctions in recent years to try to halt Iran's nuclear program, which Western nations and Israel view as part of a secret effort to develop a nuclear weapon.
Israel — the sole if undeclared nuclear-armed state in the Middle East — has hinted it may take military action if Iran crosses a "red line" in its uranium enrichment.
Iran insists its program is entirely peaceful and has vowed massive retaliation for any attack on its territory.
The United States has had no diplomatic relations with Iran since the 1979 revolution brought a hardline anti-American regime to power, but Iranian leaders have been allowed to visit and address the annual UN assembly.

TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - November 15, 2016) - Golden Leaf Holdings Ltd. (CSE: GLH) (OTCQB: GLDFF) ("GLH" or "the Company"), a leading cannabis oil solutions company built around recognized brands, is providing the following update to shareholders regarding the current state of the cannabis industry in Oregon and the changes underway in the recreational adult use market.
Oregon's recreational market surpassed $160 million in sales from the beginning of January through the end of September 2016, and Marijuana Business Daily and its Marijuana Business Factbook 2016 forecasts Oregon's market to reach $180 to $200 million by year end. However, oversight of the recreational, adult-use market is now transitioning to the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC), resulting in a decrease in the state sales tax from 25% to 17% and an increase in customer purchase limits.
As a result, sales estimates for the recreational market in Oregon could prove conservative. GLH is pleased to announce that it is in the process of applying for the required licenses in order to take advantage of this opportunity.

Sterling Silver and Garnet Cabochon Vintage Hand Made Ring
$48.00 I love these old rings, with their elegant and mysterious pyramid tops and the interesting color choice of the stones. This is a beautiful sterling silver ring set with a small garnet cabochon. Marked 925. The setting has a design surrounding the small round stone of tiny drops. The ring was presented to me with a very old estate lot. Size 7. Measures 7/8"in diameter. There is wear to the design around the band and one of the side dots has a small dent. Great vintage condition.

The federal government will consider anti-dumping laws, according to reports today.
According to The Australian Financial Review, a government source said yesterday that the assistant industry minister, Bob Baldwin, gave an assurance of new anti-dumping laws to a party room meeting.
Dumping is defined by the Anti-Dumping Commission as "when an exporter sells goods to Australia at a price that is below the 'normal value' of the goods."
The Coalition went to the election promising stronger laws against dumping, though these have reportedly not yet been before cabinet.
Under the expected changes, which go as far as they can "within World Trading Organisation Rules", the burden of proof will fall be with foreign suppliers. This would be a reversal.
Some have criticised this as protectionist and in breach of WTO guidelines.
Recent Anti-Dumping Authority investigations have been launched into photovoltaic solar panels (launched last month) and sinkware (March).

How To Video
Build your own desktop computerEver consider building your own computer? CNET's Dan Graziano walks you through the process and tells you everything you need to know.
Tablets and laptops can be great for browsing the web and playing games on the go, but nothing will replace a desktop computer for the ultimate gaming experience. You can walk into your local Best Buy and purchase a computer from companies like Dell, HP, and Lenovo for around 300 bucks. But if you want a truly high-powered machine and aren't afraid of getting your hands dirty, nothing beats building your own. I'm Dan Graziano and today I'm gonna teach you how to build your own computer. Here you have all your components, the motherboard, CPU, graphics card, RAM, hard drive, DVD drive, and power supply. The motherboard is the heart and soul of your system. It pumps commands to every component while the central processing unit acts as the brains. The graphics processing unit controls 2D and 3D graphics. RAM is your computer's memory. The hard drive stores all your files, and the power supply powers the entire thing. For a complete rundown of these components, visit my 3-part guide in building your own computer. Now that you have the basic understanding of each component, let's get started. There are numerous ways to build a computer, but we're going to opt for an external process. Take your motherboard and place it on a non-conductive surface such as a wooden table. Lift the LGA socket, remove the protective cover and gently place the processor inside without applying any pressure. A large fan comes with the CPU. This is called a heat sink. To attach it simply find the power connector, rotate it accordingly and push down the pins. Next pull back the clips on the RAM slot and place your cards inside. Push down until you hear a click, but make sure the RAM cards aren't located next to each other but rather in slots with the same color. Set the motherboard aside for a little as we move on to the case. Take the power supply and line it up with the corresponding screw sockets at the back of the case and secure it in place. There are 2 types of power supplies, modular, which has removable cords and non-modular with attached cords like so which is why you want a modular model. Next up is the motherboard. Line it up and screw it into place. Then pull back the PCI clips and click the graphics card into place. Both the hard drive and DVD drive slide into place and can be secured with screws. Once everything is installed it's time to bring the system to life. Your power supply will come with either a 24-pin or a 20+4 pin adaptor. This plugs into the motherboard along with a 4-pin connector which can be found in the CPU. Plug 2 of the 6-pin PCI connectors into the back of the graphics card. Each drive must also be connected to a SATA power cord with the smaller cord being plugged into the motherboard and each fan must be connected to a 4-pin Molex adapter. The power button and LED light will either be a 1- or 2-pin connector and they'll plug into the first 8-pin header on the motherboard while the 8-pin front-facing ports plug into their corresponding sockets. Close the system up, plug it in and if everything is installed properly it should power on once you hit the button. For more in-depth guide on building your own computer including detailed steps for installing an operating system, be sure to check out my 3-part article on howto.cnet.com. For CNET, I'm Dan Graziano.

Google released M & quick charge smartphones tech
Google released M, they've detected some bugs and decided to jump from kk to N. But we should be happy because they've told that this will be until December. still in just Preview mode. It will most likely released when the next NEXUS phone comes out and that is always around at the start of November. we will focus into M right now and you guys could keep waiting for a update that won't come
people concerned with Android M when we haven't even received OTA for freaking 5.1.1 yet. That shouldn't even be in people's damns minds sense Xiaomi is taking their time releasing Lollipop. It shouldnt even be in anyone damn heads yet.
Update Services is to go to Play Store -> My apps and select All. You should find it there. I haven't ever been notified of an update for this so I have to check it this way. sounds like the update applied but for some reason still seeing the deferred message. Checking with the team on why that is still showing. looking forward to a persistent user experience, proper AOT compilation, and Doze mode. Will beat the crap out of my new Chinese android smartphones on Nextbuying with android 5.0 with custom roms until its truly obsolete. Rocking 5.1.1.
All this time with KitKat in production, with any small bug or performance fixes right before 5.1 is released know that I'll never see an M preview on anything but a nexus. But I was highly disappointed to see an 5.0 update on my phone on the day of the M announcement. My phones reboots randomly due to the memory bug. I expect any company to react much more quickly, especially Lenovo that promised quick updates.
The 5.0 update was totally unnecessary since they have a 5.1 in place already. I want to choose if I want to try to install it or not.
Charger for "quick charge 2.0" is protected by copyright. So you need to have a special "certified" charger for this. Not ANY charger will do. This charger is special with "smart" adjustments based on compatible/proprietary software by Qualcomm to adjust automatically by trigger of output voltage and software (of course linking to chipset compatibility by Qualcomm) from the device.
So, you can have "quick charge" capabilities, but not the software and you'll get nowhere with any charger. the answer is to change the software. like the Nexus 6, but the phone is not for me either. The xiaomi mi4 ( MIUI 6 ) via Nextbuying.com, next i want get a xiaomi mi note pro (4GB RAM ) and Qualcomm 810 or ASUS zenfone 2 ( intel processor 4GB of RAM ) has the perfect size. about to buy the quick charger but now I find it unnecessary, when I flashed the ROM my battery last for all my day and when I am going to sleep I only plug the phone in the charger so when I wake up I have a Full charge .

Ph.D. in Bioengineering
Format: Campus
The Department of Bioengineering offers students the opportunity to complete a Ph.D. in Bioengineering within the following research areas:
Students will have the opportunity to collaborate with faculty of the College of Science and Technology, School of Medicine, School of Podiatric Medicine, School of Pharmacy, Maurice H. Kornberg School of Dentistry, and the College of Public Health. Research support is provided through grants from the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, American Heart Association and the Susan B. Komen Foundation.
The Ph.D. in Bioengineering program requires a minimum of 30 semester hours beyond the master's degree, including 15 semester hours of Ph.D.-level didactic coursework, and 15 semester hours associated with Ph.D. examinations and dissertation research.
Because the Ph.D. is an individualized program, students will meet with the department's Graduate Program Coordinator in the first semester to discuss the "Plan of Study," which outlines all required courses and the program-requirement sequence.
Preliminary Exam: Students who matriculate into the Ph.D. in Bioengineering are required to take the preliminary exam before the end of their third semester. This exam evaluates the breadth of knowledge in Bioengineering and consists of an oral exam with a supporting written document.
Dissertation Proposal: Within one year of passing the preliminary exam, students must develop a written research proposal and present it at an open college seminar. Students are considered doctoral candidates after the dissertation proposal has been approved.
Dissertation: The Ph.D. program culminates with the dissertation and dissertation defense. The defense is an open university seminar in which students present the concepts and results of their research, followed by examination from the Dissertation Committee.Temple Bioengineering faculty research details are available here.
