While marijuana is a seed bearing plant we cannot specify it as food, since we do not ingest it orally. Traditionally cannabis is consumed through smoking, however it is also possible to combine the substance into butter and through that, other foods. Does this mean that the bible agrees with marijuana consumption?
Well, to be completely sure we need to define the term Christian. According to Jesus his followers must ""deny himself and take up his cross to follow me"" meaning that a casual confession of faith isn"t quite enough. Rather, one who truly believes in Jesus will follow him as their ultimate purpose in life.
Now we can go back to the question at hand. As has already been mentioned, the bible does not have a take specifically on cannabis, despite this it does mention its stance toward other mind altering drugs. In the book of Galatians it is written.
Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
""Sorcery"" in this verse is translated from the Greek word pharmakeia which we derive to the English word pharmacy. Pharmacy is defined as the use or administering of drugs. Since this is a verse listing actions that, if practiced, would impede one from being able to enter heaven, it should be a reasonable suggestion that believing Christians should not indulge in drug use.

1 Corinthians 8:9 Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak. 10 For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol"s temple, won"t that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols? 11 So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge. 12 When you sin against them in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall.
essentially what you DO may cause a weaker brother or sister to fall. Assuming you live in a state where it is legal of course,........ on the other hand ..... IF your using it and it's AGAINST the law? Well ... clearly the more prudent question is ARE YOU actually a Christian .... isn't it?

Many deadlines have come and gone when it comes to hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and skeptics will still wonder whether the 2014/2015 time frame for commercial hydrogen fuel cell vehicle introduction by a number of the automakers will be met. But hydrogen is not only working in buses in a number of locations, and its use as a fuel for multi-purpose vehicles is also something that may be on the horizon.
The first geothermal power plant in Canada may very well be located in the Northwest Territories after the McKenzie Valley Land and Water Board (MVLWB) granted Borealis GeoPower Inc. a geothermal land use permit and water license.
Pond Biofuels has landed slightly more than $900,000 in federal funding from FedDev Ontario to continue developing its technology. The Toronto-based company is focused on developing technology to capture CO2, then use it as a feedstock to grow algae and then turn the algae into biofuel.
Tocardo International, a maker of hydro power turbines, is planning to market its products in Canada and the United States, the company said as it signed an agreement with the Dutch government, universities and peers to promote the Netherlands' green technology in North America.
Run of River Power Inc. has been given the green light on the Skookum Power Project. The company said that it received a Conditional Water License and a License of Occupation from the BC Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

Matt Tozer was born in Eddystone Maternity Home (circled) at 24, Festing Road, Southsea, in 1965, and he wonders if any readers have a photograph of it.
He says: 'The building disappeared about five years later and I have never seen a picture of it.
'I have drawn a blank at the History Centre in the library, both through my own research and with the professional help of the staff. The closest I can get is this aerial shot from about 1928 but it's too distant to be of any real value.
'There must have been a fair few people born in the Eddystone during its 20 or so years in Festing Road.'

Study of issues related to the economic importance of international tourism in transition economies is of particular relevance. Currently, the States of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) are, first of all, before selecting the export specialization, secondly, before restructuring of the unprofitable traditional industries, focusing on new products for export, as well as to new activities in services and international trade. At the same time, the majority of researchers working on issues of international tourism (I. I. Pirozhnik, 1996; G. A. Papiryan, 1998; Zorin I. V., Kvartalnov V. A., 2001; A. Y.

With a disciplinary background in sociology and an interest in trade unions and employment relations, Debbie's research has increasingly focused on equality and diversity in employment and within organisational settings. Research projects undertaken have included an examination of gender, management and employment in Europe, China and Taiwan, though more recently, Debbie's research has focused primarily on the experiences of disabled people in the labour market - of the ableist character of workplaces, professions and organisational practices and how forms of representation might address these. She is particularly interested in the intersectional interests of disabled, older and female employees and the ways in which taken-for-granted norms around what is an 'ideal' employee have shaped organisational and career processes, practices and culture, to exclude or disadvantage some groups in the labour market.
Supportive of a social model of disability, Debbie is also interested in methodologies and research ethics that facilitate co-produced and emancipatory research. As such, she has worked with Disabled People's Organisations (DPOs), as well as trade unions nationally, regionally and internationally and with a range of NGOs. Debbie has recently (2018) completed an EU funded project with colleagues and social partners in Estonia, Hungary and Poland aimed at co-producing industrial relations strategies to improve the employment of disabled and older workers. With colleagues at Cardiff University she is involved in an ESRC funded impact initiative on closing the disability employment gap and has secured DRILL lottery funding for a project (2017-19) that examines the career experiences of disabled people working within the legal profession.
Debbie is Chair of the CARBS Research Ethics Committee and has been an editor and served on the Editorial and Associate Editorial boards of the BSA international journal Work, Employment and Society. A member of the Welsh National Advisory Group of DRILL (Disability Research on Independent Living and Learning), Debbie has also acted as a mentor for Disability Rights UK and is a member of the Equality and Diversity Forum (EDF) Research Network Advisory Group.
See publications listed in this profile in the journals Sociology, Work, Employment and Society, British Journal of Industrial Relations, Economic and Industrial Democracy, Industrial Relations Journal, International Journal of Human Resource Management, Journal of Industrial Relations and TRANSFER and numerous books. Grant funding has been secured from the European Union, the Economic and Social Research Council and DRILL.
Prospective areas of PhD supervision include: all aspects of disability and employment; diversity in organisations; intersectionality and employment (particularly gender, disability and age); the representation and advocacy of diverse groups in trade unions and within organisations.

That's me. And that's Julia Childs kitchen in the American History museum in Washington aka "the Smithsonian." I was vibrating with excitement. As in we walk by the exhibit on the way to the cafe. I wanted to skip lunch. I wasn't interested. I needed to be in Julia's space. I was outvoted. My family thought I was weird. I scarfed lunch and made a b-line for her kitchen. My family can think I'm weird all they want. I am that nerd.
There is something about her story that grabbed me almost instantly. She came to her career later in life and was driven to learn how to cook by her love of food. She is the reason some of my favourite Food Network stars exist. She didn't care if her omelet didn't look perfect. She believed ANYONE could cook and you didn't need fancy pants ingredients to do it. Everything about her is amazing me. She is the reason I learned how to dice properly. She is the reason I learned how to make creme brulee. She is the reason I own a blow torch.
When we got married I knew how to cook and bake at a pretty basic level. I knew how to make sure we were fed but that was about it. I had cooked when I lived at home but it was mostly following instructions left by my mother. I baked quite a bit. But mostly when I should have been studying for finals. I remember the first thing I ever made in our kitchen after we got married. Chicken fajitas. A pretty basic recipe. It took me forever to make them because I was terrified of screwing them up and someone bursting through the door and taking away our marriage license. "You can't cook, turn over your wife membership card please." John complained about how long it took. A few days later I made pancakes for breakfast. Again took forever because I didn't want to screw them up. John complained again about how long it was taking. I haven't yelled at John like that since. He's never commented on how long its taken to get food ready since either.
But I love food. So I needed to learn. And learn I did. About a year and a half ago my mom said the following, "You've surpassed me in the kitchen." My dream was always owning Mastering the Art of French Cooking. But I felt I had to work my way up to it. I know it was written so ANYONE could use it but the thought of making French food scared me. Then I learned it was basically, wine, cheese and butter. I could totally do that.
Then we moved to Switzerland. John had stated he was going to get me "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" as an anniversary gift but he didn't want to move it. Note to husbands world over: Don't say that to your wife. Just don't. I was disappointed to say the least. A few weeks later he came home from work with a hardcover version of volumes 1 and 2. I cried. I finally felt I earned it. Julia Child, a trailing spouse herself, guided this trailing spouse through the scary first few months of living abroad with her food and encouraging words. I could do this!
Train yourself to use your hands and fingers;
they are wonderful instruments.
Train yourself also to handle hot food;
this will save time.
Keep your knives sharp.
Above all, have a good time.
Will do Julia! Will do!

Book Description"One man's journey to being human"
Tim Hurtletuta has forgotten something. He cannot see or fully understand what it is yet, but behind his awareness a far wiser and more powerful part of him knows that what he's lost has never faded far from view. Its memory waits ever present for his arrival, compassionately and intuitively nudging him towards the peripheries of his reality inside every moment it can. The decision's his to make. Will he remain where and who he believes himself to be? Or will he choose to go against everything his better judgement tells him and open his eyes to embrace the memory as it unfolds itself around him. One thing's for sure, whichever path he chooses his life will never be the same again.
The Tales of Tim Hurtletuta are a set of open minded fictional stories that explore one man's unique journey through this little thing we call life. Book One, New Beginnings is the start of that journey. A spiritual story of change where the past, the present and the future all roll into one resonant and endearing tale of now and how that now came to be.
Please note that the novel has been written and edited in British English.

Sounds good, and thanks for noticing that, Jean. I had noticed it when dealing with the doc source, but had forgotten about it already. Some of what is in NOTICES is only appropriate for the code tree and not the doc tree, like the note about the nist tests. I think that should be removed from the NOTICE in the doc tree as well. andrew

Local football commentator Andy Harper says he's disappointed Sydney FC striker Shane Smeltz has escaped sanction for his collision with Newcastle Jets goalkeeper Mark Birighitti.
Birighitti required more than 30 stitches to his lips and chin and had two teeth reinserted following the sickening incident where he was collected by Smeltz in their second round A-League match at the weekend.
The match review panel decided not to take any action against Smeltz because the referee deemed the collision accidental.
The striker was not cautioned at the time of the second-half incident in the match won 1-0 by Sydney.
While Harper said he didn't want to see Smeltz nailed, he would have preferred to see the incident highlighted.
"The jury is out and accidents happen but it is important to safeguard against these incidents," Harper told the Big Sports Breakfast.
Harper said he would have liked to have seen a two-week suspension, but noted Smeltz's good history in the game and lack of intent.
He added the referee was being backed irrespective of whether the decision was wrong.
"We accept the ref's call - it's part of the game and we get on with it."
Harper praised Birighitti for his bravery as the No.1 hopes to be back in action this weekend.

By Ernestine Montoya
The wine breathes a pleasant heat on the back of my neck. My head lolls a little as the Christmas party, heavy on the Christ, lulls and crescendoes. Two of the women are in the kitchen, gesturing about where to set out pies and lemon bars and discreetly discussing what the hell to do with the bulky plastic the shitty store-bought stuff came in.
Colin is trumpeting another tale of debauchery lite. To this audience, his story, the time he went to a stripclub with a "lost" friend, is titillating. He's been Roman's roommate for two months. It's the third time I've heard it.
I rest my head on Roman's shoulder, mouth slightly agape, and he turns to me, away from Lindsey the Zealot, who is droning about the play she wrote and starred in for the Thanksgiving service.
"Promise you'll audition for the next one. Weren't you a theater major?" she asks, her high voice sticky like an itch in my ears. (He wasn't.) Lindsey puts a hand on Roman's chest, right in the center, and scratches the spot, like he is a beloved cat. Her husband is in the bathroom.
I'm drowsy enough that the flint of jealousy has difficulty striking fire in my stomach, but Lindsey's more nut than threat, and her play made me want to be nice to her because it was a shit show, like, an actual showing of shit, even though last week she shared an article on Facebook that maybe was directed at me, about the perils of saying "OMG."
But it doesn't matter, because Roman's eyes are on mine, and they look like they used to on Sunday mornings, when I'd go to the bakery ten blocks away and bring home fat, hot kolaches, and we'd eat like savages, under the sheets and in mismatched pajamas, catching globs of cheese between our lips.
Sundays are for church now. All of them. Sermon in the morning and Life Group at night with the four other couples here. "Bible study," the accepted term of my upbringing, has apparently lost its cred.
Roman's eyebrows pull in slightly. "Yeah, maybe we will," he says, but he doesn't look back at her.
"Oh, both of you? Yeah. For sure." Lindsay's fingers recede.
"You're tipsy," he whispers, thin lips brushing my ear.
"Is that bad?" I reach up to trace the line of his jaw.
"Nah. I know you miss it. Once in awhile's alright. You've got wine lips." His brown eyes have their usual good-natured slant.
I blink for a second or two, straining for deadpan. "If you think about it," I nod toward a framed painting of a robed, alabaster Jesus leading two peasant children, also vampirically pale, across a bridge, "so did He."
He chuckles, and I release a breath. His laugh is the same.
I'm lucky. I know I am lucky. Roman's drinking was out of hand sometimes, and he could get a little wild. Mean if he'd had enough. Mostly, he was alright, but then his dad died two days after New Year's, and by summer, I was getting slurred phone calls about his keys being taken away. We lost a lot of friends.
In June, he'd called from a Montrose bar, and I found him half-conscious, slumped on the curb outside. Ten minutes down the road, he was a dead man violently resurrected, batting on the passenger's seat window with both hands like a lunatic. He ralphed on my arm and in my hair before I could release the handle.
I went with him to his first meeting, at a moldy Third Ward community center. In the basement, a dozen people sat in a circle of gray metal folding chairs against gray prickly walls on top of gray tiled floors. At the end, there was a prayer, and I glanced over at Roman, because maybe he wanted to bolt, and that would've been okay, but his hands were clasped, his eyes shut tight.
New Fredonia Church is only two blocks from his apartment, ten minutes from mine. It's in an old warehouse, and everyone wears jeans, and even though they once had "live painting worship," in which everyone watched a dude paint random shit while the band played, it isn't so bad.
I like church. It's a little ingrained, but the services are familiar, and the sterile adulation that occurs within them calms me down. Sing. Sit. Put money in a pot. Stand again. Sit for a while. Leave feeling a bit lighter.
Mick, the pastor, came over to shake hands on our fifth visit. He's from London and has crazy eyes, but his hands are always warm, and that counts for something, probably. He's also twelve years sober. Roman calls him a lot.
We joined September tenth. Two days later, on his birthday, Roman said we should stop having premarital sex.
Mick announces after dinner that everyone should try to meet with their Prayer Partner sometime in the evening. ("Holidays are stressful!") He motions for the men to file into the back yard and look at his new self-built fire pit.
"You gonna be okay?" Roman asks me that at these things sometimes, like I'm a rescue dog untested around strangers.
"Yeah, go. I gotta find Della, anyway."
The entire interior of the house is painted a weak, custard yellow, and I keep making wrong turns. I pause for a moment at the same wall of framed photos I've passed twice now. Placed amid them are carefully weathered signs with verses from Song of Solomon or sayings like "Life is fragile, handle with prayer" painted in swirly ivory calligraphy.
"Did you try the casserole?"
"Oh, hey, Dell. Yeah, it was great. Lentils. Can't go wrong."
Della beams. Her father died of ALS two years ago, and though she's prone to occasional diatribes about the unfairness of Stephen Hawking's life span, on account of his "hating the Lord," she isn't so bad.
I know when to grimace and nod as if to say, "Ain't that how it goes?" But she sent tall calla lilies over after my old cat, Stella, finally kicked it, and the smooth, white-petaled bodies of them, ancient and tear-shaped, loosened the knot in my chest. Della's alright.
"Oh, thanks. I found it on some kind of vegan blog, but, you know, I put cheese in there. I'm not crazy." She throws a hand up and her long fingers knock one of the frames slightly askew.
My brain scrabbles around for what to say next. Della's weird, perpetually sticky-faced kid is running around here somewhere, but what the hell is her name? I decide on a compliment.
"Your hair—it's, um, gotten long."
Della's hands reach up and cradle an auburn lock. "Aw, thank you. I refuse to look like a mom!" She laughs too loudly.
"Ha. Yeah, I feel you. Hey, so did you wanna pray, or—"
"But you don't have kids. When are you and Roman getting engaged? Y'all've been together like six years already, right?"
"Um. It's, uh, hard to say."
"Mel! Got a minute?"
Mick's wife, Maggie, approaches. Cat-eye spectacles and a cherry, oversized flannel shirt are not enough to camouflage the chasm of attractiveness and decade or so of age between her and Mick.
She doesn't wait for an answer, but guides me into a little side room. More custard and signs, though these seem to be exclusively devoted to Psalms.
She gestures toward a window bench.
"I just wanted to make sure I was being intentional about meeting with you. I haven't forgotten about discipling you!"
Maggie owns her own flower shop, and there is a warmth, an appealing wildness about her that I can't help but like.
"Sorry I didn't respond last week, to your text? The kids are all ready for Christmas break, so work's been a little crazy."
"I bet. And you've got … fourth grade, right? Yikes." Her eyes widen slightly, and I can see little ribbons of gold twirling in the green. "Let's try to get together this week, though, okay? You've been on my heart."
"Oh. Okay."
"I heard Della just now." She leans in closer. "How are things? With Roman, I mean?"
Pinpricks of indignation rupture up my cheeks, but I remember this now, the accepted invasion of privacy, and the feeling passes. This is where my previous training really shines, after all, so I lean into it.
"Well. It could be better. I know he's been put in my life for a reason, and we're definitely being tested." Brave sigh.
My father was a deacon, my mother head of the Women on Mission. This fall's been a strengthening of muscles gone slightly to seed. Most parts have been easy. Polishing my "testimony" into bite-sized anecdotes about my experiences with church and God. The exact posture that best conveys engaged interest in Mick's bumbling, prop-heavy Sunday morning routines. The buzzwords have been easy enough to pick up: Glorify. Grow. Connect. Intentional.
It's my Church Voice that is speaking, inflecting the correct words with measured pain. "The… physical stuff could be better. The worst part is that we're spoiling the way God intended it to be."
It's a lie. The worst happens after everything, when Roman will dress almost as quickly as he apologizes. Tomorrow's a new day. Do I want to pray? Oh wait, there is that article Mick and Maggie just emailed, about how praying together too much before marriage might promote false intimacy. Forget he said it. It's just been a hard week. Maybe we should be more intentional about guardrails? So that it won't escalate this far? Okay, for one, maybe I shouldn't be in his bed. You know what, probably I should stop staying over altogether. Too tempting.
Sex is always like this now, a messy transaction. It happens maybe once a week, rushed and silent but for our breath. Sometimes Colin will be around when we come out of Roman's room, a look of disapproval on his face. I've started to feel nauseated after.
"Mm. That's so tough. Mick and I struggled." Maggie's eyes are soft, her body bowed toward mine. She doesn't look away, and there is a long latent part of me that responds to her concern.
I open my mouth, but something in my chest retracts, and the indignation is back and I don't want to tell her that I've been having sex with the only person I've ever loved, my lab partner in freshman Bio, who grinned, even though I'd just sliced his finger with the broad-blade, and suggested I go out with him after class to make up for it, because saying that now, on this window bench made of reclaimed wood, guilt strung along my brow, will make it all wrong, and when Roman forgets to feel bad, in the middle of it, he looks at me like I am lovely, and I clench my hands around the throw pillow in my lap, because I want to keep that for myself.
"Thanks for saying that. Can I use your bathroom?"
Maggie nods vigorously, blinking once or twice. "Sure."
The bathroom door's locked, and as I turn away, I run into Colin.
"There's one in there, too." He peers around a doorway.
The master bedroom is softly lit, and a huge computer monitor on the desk occupies a corner. The four or five kids congregate around it, shouting instructions to the one moving the mouse.
The bathroom is oppressively nautical. The bath mats have stout red and white stripes, and the light switch placard is a raised ceramic design of a house on stilts. I sit on the lip of the tub and set the timer on my phone for an acceptable amount of time to hide out. Three minutes.
In a week, we're going to see my parents down in McAllen. They've been thrilled about Roman. My mother sent a little card with some cash inside, the front of it a printed watercolor of a tree frog chilling on a riverbed. "F.R.O.G." it says, in a silly font along the top. "Fully Rely on God."
It would be easier if I didn't believe. But I pray. And there's something about wind that still gets to me. When a big gust of it swirls my hair, or when a breeze would ruffle Stella's long hair in the backyard.
And it's like it blows right through me, up my ribcage, in my ears. Every time it's happened, since I was a little girl, I look up, and say, "Thank you," quietly, so no one but the two of us can hear.
I've only described this to one person, my childhood pastor, Brother Randy, back in McAllen. Not to Roman, or anybody from Fredonia. There will be pressure to define it, to anchor the wind down with actions, because though they believe, there is an ache to quantify, to see tangible cause and effect, reasons for and advantages of faith.
But when the wind comes, I don't think about any of that. Like Roman's eyes when he is not being Roman the Recently Saved, I keep this to myself now, because as Brother Randy told me back then, wind is not enough.
When I exit the bedroom, I run into Roman.
"Hey, I was looking for you. You about ready to head out?"
I nod.
"Is everything alright?" In the dim light of the hallway, his face is as familiar as my mother and father's, as familiar as if I've known him all my life.
"Do you ever feel wind?"
He grins. "What do you mean?"
"Nevermind, I just—I don't really feel good. Too much to drink."
"Ah, no, I've made you lose your resistance."
"It's fine, don't be dumb." I head back toward the front room, where keys are being retrieved from pockets and goodbyes exchanged. I feel Roman's arm around my waist.
"Nothing." He leans closer, and kisses me for real.
"Let's just go."
"Wait," he murmurs. "You look pretty tonight."
"This is how you talk before," I say, eyes on his throat. "You'll be different after."
"You're right." He looks ashamed, which is stupid, so I kiss him, and then his hands are in my hair, and maybe tonight I'll be spared his manic dirge of reparations.
A throat clears. "Uh, sorry." The patched elbows of Colin's navy blazer disappear around the corner.
Roman steps back abruptly. His hands loosen, but don't leave my hair, because now he is smoothing my curls back into place, fastening the dislodged center button of my blouse.
"Hey, thanks, Dad."
His hands stiffen. "Don't, Mel."
"Relax. Let's get the hell outta here." I turn quickly, because the nausea is starting again and the house feels too warm and I want to get out into the cold.
I've only taken a step when a shriek sounds from the master bedroom.
We find Della crouched by the computer, her fingers plastered over her daughter's eyes.
"Is everything alright?" Roman asks.
"Look!" She removes a hand from the bemused kid's head to point at the computer. "Alice found it."
Maggie and Lindsey arrive at the scene of the crime, and for a few seconds, we all stare at the monitor.
It's fairly standard, as pornographic nudes go. The woman's breasts are too orbed to be natural, the hands on her hips manicured with French tips. Her eyebrows are sealed into an expression of practiced depravity with either Botox or disenchantment, and her pubic hair is neat as the White House lawn. A Santa hat perches on top of her honey-colored tresses, its angle jaunty.
I snort, and Roman looks at me sharply. "What? It's a little funny."
Alice vacillates between looking stricken and thrilled, and as she darts from the room in a blur of white tights, eyes sweeping from left to right, I stifle another laugh.
Mick blazes in, then, and it's unfortunate that this is the first time I've seen him tonight without his sweater on. The t-shirt underneath is truly terrible: "Takin' it to the streets," proclaims a bold yellow font. And underneath, in an even splashier, all-caps red: "THE GOSPEL."
"Is this your idea of a joke?" Lindsey's sharp eyes are on me. It makes my laugh gurgle louder.
"I'm sorry," I sputter, a hand on her lavender sweater. "It's just—" I can't get any more words out.
"Listen, I just ran into Colin on his way out. Maybe we can talk to you guys," Mick says slowly. I receive a few pointed stares.
"Apparently there's an encore," I say to Roman. He doesn't laugh.
After an increasingly uncomfortable five minutes at the kitchen table with Maggie, who has inexplicably insisted on brewing us tea, Mick returns from their boys' bedroom.
"So, I spoke with both of the boys, very sternly, and I don't think it was any of the kids. Besides, the parental controls are buried pretty good on our browser, I don't know that they could've gotten past them." He looks at me for a few seconds.
"Wait, do you think it was us?" I pause, to allow someone to dissuade me. It doesn't happen. "I thought this was some kind of lecture for laughing about it, because, okay, whatever, that was maybe inappropriate, but c'mon."
I look to Roman for solidarity. He hesitates, and I finally get it.
"Oh, you all think I did it."
"It's just that, well—Colin mentioned to Mick that he saw you in our bedroom, which is fine, I just don't think anyone else was in there besides the kids, but if you say you didn't do it, I believe you." It's the first time I've seen Maggie flustered.
"This is ridiculous. Mel's a teacher. She wouldn't do that," Roman says.
I turn my head slowly, noting the pink flush of his ears. "Nice of you to join us, but I think the hunt's over."
Mick's wayward eyes swivel over to Maggie, and I zip up my coat.
"He jerks off."
"Colin. Like, a lot. To porn. We had to get Roman a sound machine." The ringing silence alerts me this is a step too far.
"Ah, listen, that's not what we're here to discuss—"
"'Cause he's not the one on trial? Does he get immunity for ratting us out?"
"Mel." Roman lays a hand on mine, his mouth in a line.
"Roman, you know it was that fuckwad. It had to've been."
But Roman isn't looking at me anymore, and we are not waiting for a dank stranger to get out of the car, and he won't mock me for being gullible when we're alone, and anyway he's too busy apologizing, and as I look past him, I realize what it is about the custard color that I don't like. The yellowy-beige seems mixed for just this purpose, to absorb several thousand sorries.
"Hey. It's been a crazy night. Let's just… decompress." Maggie takes a purposefully deep breath, raising and lifting her hands. "Just get some rest. You and I will meet up next week."
When I don't respond, she touches my arm. "I believe you, okay?" And it's the way Roman looked at me earlier. Like they're waiting for me to lose it, to wrinkle my snout. Snap my teeth.
On the drive back to my apartment, the air in the car is warm and silent. I walk toward my door without saying goodbye, but Roman intercepts me on the porch, pressing me hard against his chest, his sweater soft on my face.
"I'm sorry. I lost my head back there." He pushes my shoulders back to look at me. "It's just… all this church stuff, it helps me make it. I'm just trying to make it." He looks like he did at his father's funeral, and I feel myself nodding.
"It's fine, Roman."
"Are you sure?" He kisses my cheek in an avuncular sort of way. "'Cause we don't gotta go back, Mel."
"I'm a big girl. And besides, we have to clear my good name on Sunday."
He laughs, relieved, and I turn away at the sound. "And I'm gonna talk to Colin, alright?"
"'Kay. Goodnight." I don't want to talk anymore, and I shut the door before he can look lost again. I watch from the edge of my front window blinds until he's driven away, and then I step back out into the dark.
The complex is quiet. There's only the noise of cars driving on I-45, the heavy whooshing sounds like that of a giant's sleeping lungs.
The air is cold and still, but I stand and wait for the wind anyway. I wait and wait for it.

SAN FRANCISCO — Kink.com announced Friday that it has expanded operations to Los Angeles. While the majority of the company's operations will remain in San Francisco, the LA studio comes as part of a larger process of diversification and expansion for the company.
"We've grown so significantly in the past few years that this was, in some ways, an inevitability," said John Sander, VP of marketing for Kink. "We now produce over two dozen sites, and we've been reaching capacity with both sets and talent. Our travel budget alone has grown significantly in the last few years, so it made sense to open an outpost in Los Angeles."
While the past few years have been a difficult time for the larger industry, Kink.com indicated it has used the opportunity to expand. In 2010, it began investing heavily in cams and began exploring new niche sites. In the past year alone, the company has successfully launched three new sites — MenOnEdge.com, TSPussyHunters.com and AnimatedKink.com — increasing its stake in the gay, she-male and fantasy markets, respectively.
Last month, Sander announced the company would take over affiliate management for Twisted Factory's Bondage Bank, and was opening its email marketing program to select industry partners. Sander said he expects to announce significant new partnerships in the coming months.
"Production will always be our main focus," he said, "but we're in a unique position, and are looking to a future where we're involved in multiple sectors of this industry."
Princess Donna Dolore will helm Kink.com production in LA, and has already moved her BoundGangBangs.com and PublicDisgrace.com productions to the new studios. Dolore will share space with a new, LA-based live cam studio that was opened on a trial basis last year. ElectroSluts.com, which is run by Bobbi Starr, will remain in San Francisco.
"This is a chance for me to expand creatively," Dolore said. "I've been directing for Kink for eight years, and the move to LA is an opportunity to really push myself, to work with new sets and discover new talent."
While initial staff is still less than a dozen, Kink founder Peter Acworth expects to add people in the coming year.
"Kink's headquarters will always be the San Francisco and the Armory," Acworth said. "There is a spirit and community here that would be impossible to replicate. But to really grow, we need to expand beyond the walls of the Armory. The business is changing, and we're seizing the opportunity."

Trump administration unveils its plan to relax car pollution rules
The New York Times, feat. John DeCicco
The Trump administration on Thursday put forth its long-awaited proposal to freeze antipollution and fuel-efficiency standards for cars, significantly weakening one of President Barack Obama's signature policies to combat global warming.
5 things to watch as the Trump administration weakens car rules
Scientific American, feat. John DeCicco
With the Trump administration set to weaken Obama-era fuel economy standards for passenger cars and trucks, a chasm is opening between red and blue states.
EPA is expected to propose a rule in the coming days to prevent the standards from rising past the 2020 levels established under former President Obama, who hailed those increases as a major step toward addressing rising temperatures.

A web-based conference Economic Philosophy: Complexities in Economics will be hosted by the World Economics Association. The Conference Leaders are John B. Davis and Wade Hands. The Discussion Forum period will be from October 2 to November 30, 2017.
Call for papers
There is considerable interest in recent economics in the idea of complexity. There are also many different ideas about what complexity involves, making the subject of complexity itself a complex matter! Thus the plural form – complexities in economics – is purposefully suggested in order to accommodate the following issues in this inaugural conference in Economic Philosophy:
- the diversity of accounts and conceptions of complexity itself
- how the nature and content of economics is complex
- the complex history of economics
- different approaches to introducing complexity into economics
- the complex relation between the sociology of economics and its content
- the complexity of economic philosophy as an interdisciplinary subject
- the complex interplay between normative and descriptive pluralism
To produce an integrated conference fostering communication between the many ways that people think about complexity, papers contributed to the conference should begin with a brief opening section stating their
- Methodological and/or philosophical assumptions;
- Point of entry in relation to the Theoretical Background Statement accompanying this call.
This will provide the basis for the organization of the conference sessions, and help to frame the papers' treatment of complexity for the conference participants.
A partial, non-exclusive list of topics includes:
- computational complexity
- cognition and bounded rationality
- nonlinearities and disequilibria
- ontological and epistemological pluralism
- agent-based modeling and complex adaptive behavior
- emergence, novelty, and evolution
- heterogeneous agents and expectations
- reflexivity and feedback loops emergence
- out of equilibrium and chaotic dynamics
- big data
- multiple identities
- abduction and simulation
- complexity across different levels
- bubbles and related phenomena
- climate change economics and complexity
Please send papers with abstracts and keywords to John Davis (email@example.com) and Wade Hands (email@example.com) by August 15th, 2017.
Key dates
Deadline for paper submissions: 15th August, 2017
The notification of acceptance will be sent by September 15th, 2017
Discussion Forum: 2nd October to 30th November, 2017
After the conference selected papers will be considered for publication.

I was looking to start a new business on the farm which will use a lot of electric. I need to spend quite a lot on that so will not be able to fund a normal 10 to 15kw solar or wind system, at least the ones you see advertised here.
However, I could import a system of either solar or wind of that size from China for about 20% of the UK advertised cost. I know the quality might not be as good and they probably will not last as long or be as efficient but it looks as though they would pay for themselves in under 2 years.
I know they will not qualify for the FIT payments, would it be worth installing them now and in a few years when I have more money (hopefully ) changing them for better quality ? Hopefully, the better quality ones will be cheaper by then and the new business generating a profit.
At present it would be a choice of the cheap ones or none at all.

What makes societies resilient?
The CPF 2015 theme: 'What Makes Societies Resilient?' draws on work developed in Malta on resilience and vulnerability. The Forum will add global value to the discourse on resilience, which has to date tended to focus on its economic and environmental aspects.
Why resilience
Resilience has gained credence as a concept and policy response. For small states including small island developing states (SIDS) on the front line of climate change impacts, and with limited resources to cope, building resilience has gained particular traction.
While it is widely accepted that the concept of resilience is used to define the ability to respond to crisis, there is a need to deepen the analysis. There has been silence on the root causes and the unequal exposure to vulnerability of some parts of society, for example indigenous communities. The new resilience thinking suggests that there is no 'optimal' response to vulnerability. Instead it suggests adaptive learning, flexibility and a response to the complexity of real world dynamics. It also asserts that social cohesion and dialogue are instrumental in facilitating collaborative approaches to respond to adverse shocks. Resilience connotes renewal and hope and challenges the narrative of vulnerability and the current constructs of adaptability and preparedness.
Framing resilience in governance and development
In its work in profiling vulnerability and resilience in small states, the Commonwealth acknowledges the important role of governance, the role of democratic institutions and people's participation in the analysis of what makes resilient societies. This is an area that is largely underexplored. CPF 2015 will contribute to expanding the current thinking on resilience and will explore the aspects of governance- rules, institutions and processes through which people, organisations and government work toward common objectives, make decisions, generate legitimate authority and power and promote and protect human rights. It will feature contributions of civil society and examples of local and bottom up responses. Four threads of inquiry will be used at the Forum in analysing resilience In the context of governance and people's participation in governance and development: Transformation, Inclusion and Responsiveness, Transparency and Accountability and Gender.

Housing Recovery's Economic Benefit Dulled by Those Who Rent Digested From "Housing Recovery's Economic Benefit Dulled by Renters"
Investor's Business Daily (10/16/12) P. A1; by Jason Ma
The economic impact of housing recovery is going to pack a weaker punch than usual, warns the National Association of Home Builders -- which says steep demand for apartments will muffle the boom. The multifamily housing market is suffering from low supply in many markets, with the focus having been on homeownership over the past 10 years or so. Now, many Americans are skittish about owning; and those who are interesting in buying often find themselves sidelined by stiff underwriting standards or astronomical student loan debt. Demand for rental properties is expected to remain high, and builders are scrambling to ramp up production. While the activity will stimulate the economy, multifamily's growing share of the residential market will take away from the home builder sector, which packs a greater economic wallop. According to NAHB, construction of an average multifamily unit of housing generates only 1.2 full-time, year-long jobs in housing and related industries compared to the three full-time positions created by the average single-family project.

The founder of WorldStarHipHop, Lee O'Denat AKA "Q" has died at age 43.
He died in his sleep on Monday, Jan 23rd. According to TMZ who first
reported the news, after he was found unresponsive, CPR was performed on
him but he didn't respond to CPR, and was pronounced dead on the scene.
O'Denat was reportedly on the path to weight loss weeks before his death.
According to friends, "Q" had been trying to lose weight by going to the
gym and working out rigorously in preparation for his new MTV reality
show which was to premiere around March.
The show revolved around 43-year-old Q, his website's crazy videos and
celebrity guest appearances.
An autopsy which was done on Tuesday by the San Diego County Coroner, reveals
he did die from a heart attack. The Autopsy results also list "obesity" as a contributing condition.
May his soul rest in peace. Amen!
