Almost 1,000 California hashish companies could possibly be pressured to shut after receiving warnings from state regulators. The state's Bureau of Cannabis Control (BCC) has despatched stop and desist letters or emails to 954 companies as of April four, in line with media stories. That quantity is up from the greater than 500 threats of motion from the BCC reported simply over a month in the past.
California's authorized marijuana financial system started on January 1 of this yr after voters handed Prop 64 in 2016. The state subsequently shaped the BCC to manage all hashish companies within the state. All business hashish corporations should get hold of a license from the state in an effort to function legally.
Warnings Sent to Firms Up and Down the Golden State
Most of the warnings despatched by the BCC, almost 400, went to companies within the Los Angeles space. Of the entities with a listed handle, 64 % have been from the LA metropolitan space. Almost 100 extra went to the San Francisco Bay Area.
Alex Traverso is a spokesman for the BCC. He informed native media that the bureau despatched a lot of the warnings to hashish retailers and supply providers. He additionally stated the letters and subsequent follow-up appear to be efficient.
"There's been a pretty decent amount of activity surrounding the letters," Traverso stated. "Not just the letter, but us following up on the letter to make sure they got the letter and to look at next steps."
"It's slow going, but so far, we're relatively encouraged by the number of people who received the letter and said, `OK, I'm going to get my application in,"' he added.
But it's potential the state might already be getting forward of itself. The BCC has despatched no less than a few of the letters to companies that have already got licenses. Others are at present navigating the regulatory course of.
Zach Pitts owns a hashish supply service in LA referred to as Goddess Delivers and is the president of the California Cannabis Delivery Alliance. His firm acquired one of many warnings from the BCC. He informed reporters that a prolonged software course of signifies that companies making an attempt to conform are feeling the squeeze.
"It is this issue we're running up against," Pitts stated, "where there are a lot of people in the process of getting licensed and then there are a lot of people who, through no fault of their own, licensing is just delayed. It's been pretty much constant delays for L.A. delivery services."
Final Hit: Almost 1,000 California Cannabis Businesses Could Be Forced To Close
Traverso of the BCC stated the bureau is hopeful that the majority corporations that acquired warnings will comply.
"We're hopeful that those people are moving in the right direction and getting their ducks in a row and hopefully getting their state license," he stated.
But he additionally acknowledged that some companies will want extra forceful motion to be able to get the message. The BCC has not but determined how and when to start extra stringent enforcement.
"We know we need to get out there and make that next step," stated Traverso. "Because that's the way people are going to say, `The state's going to crack down if you don't get a license."'

A federal court has denied sprinter Justin Gatlin's appeal to run in the U.S. Olympic track trials this weekend.
The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta said yesterday that Gatlin had not shown he met the "applicable standard for such an injunction."
Earlier this month, the Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld a four-year ban against Gatlin for doping violations, but the defending Olympic champion in the 100 meters went to federal court seeking to run in the trials starting tomorrow.
Gatlin said he had been discriminated against under the Americans With Disabilities Act because his first doping violation was for taking prescribed medication to treat attention deficit disorder.
The U.S. Olympic Committee and the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency argued that federal courts did not have jurisdiction in the case, an argument U.S. District Judge Lacey Collier agreed with Tuesday when he withdrew the temporary restraining order he had granted a week earlier.
Pistorius gets extension. The manager for Oscar Pistorius said the deadline for the double-amputee runner to qualify for the Beijing Olympics has been extended.
Peet van Zyl said the South African athletics federation moved its deadline from July 11 to July 17, giving Pistorius time to compete in four European races as he tries to meet the 400-meter qualifying time of 45.55 seconds.
Tennis, anyone? Former gold medalists Venus and Serena Williams are expected to play both singles and doubles for the team announced by the U.S. Tennis Association.
The nine-member team includes Lindsay Davenport, who won a gold medal in singles at the 1996 Games.
James Blake, Sam Querrey and Robby Ginepri were named to the men's team in singles. Bob and Mike Bryan, the No. 1 doubles team, and Blake and Querrey have been nominated as doubles teams.
The last place on the women's team is expected to go to Jill Craybas, who would be a first-time Olympian at age 34.

Kristen is a very sweet girl who booked my services fairly far along in the planning process. I'm so glad she did. She and Mike have a great family and it gave me an opportunity to work again with DJ Jerry B of Marlborough, and Candi Wolfe and Steve Ericson of Northborough with whom I have worked several times over the years. They are such talented professionals and I love working with them-so stress-free and fun. Now I'm transferring the footage overnight so I can prepare for tomorrow's event.

Have you ever held in your mind two opposing viewpoints, and had it really bother you that you couldn't reconcile them? I'm having on of those days today. The topic: sexual orientation. Specifically, about how I kind of hate the idea of labeling sexual orientation.
I've felt for a long time now that labeling one's sexuality is almost limiting in a sense. If you ask me, love, even sometimes sexual attraction, are fluid, malleable, and transcend gender.
Sure, you can have a sexual preference. Personally, I prefer men. I have only ever dated men, and may only ever date men. But does that mean I could never have a relationship with, or fall in love with a woman? I really don't think so.
Right now, you're probably thinking, "well, then you're bi-sexual," and maybe I am, but that word has never sat right with me. A friend of mine once said to me during a conversation "admit it, you've always been a little bendy." Now bendy, bendy I'll give you.
As a society, we place a lot of importance on sexual identity. I've seen friends of mine struggle endlessly with their own sexual identity, so I understand their need to be able to stand up and say "I'm gay." We place limits on the things that gay men and women can do (marry, donate blood, etc), and we make same-sex relationships taboo to a point that I've struggled with having this very conversation for fear that people will judge me based on my opinion (and why it took conversations with two people, and more than 2 hours of debate to actually write and publish this post). After all that, it's no wonder people hold onto their identity so tightly.
Bi-sexuality is a strange topic for me, because I've been, and continue to struggle with being, one of those people who judges those who can't seem to make up their minds. One day, they're dating the opposite sex, the next the same, and it bothers me. It bothers me, because I can't label it in my own head. These are my opposing viewpoints. I believe that love and sexuality are fluid, I even believe it about myself, but when faced with it out in the real world, I still have trouble stuffing it into my tiny little logic box.
Labels are for other people. They help others categorize you in their minds, make sense of you, skirt around sensitive topics in conversation, make judgements about what you might like or who you might like, and find a way to be comfortable (re: not confused) around you on a day-to-day basis.
In the end though, does what you love matter as much as who you love, or even that you love at all?

The scientific method, the engineering "V", agile, ad hoc or just dipping the brush in the paint are all ways to approach the problems that are presented. Processes can be as simple as a writer showing up at their desk each morning from 5:00 to 10:00 to diligently write 10 pages, knowing their process will determine later if the work was any good. Each method has proponents and communities that embrace the processes. Sadly, my processes have not been nearly as systematic as they should, and my performance has suffered as a result. There is a benefit to having a system to run a problem set through, it can give space for the muse and inspiration to strike. Adherence will help reduce the influence of subjective factors and tease out the critical metrics to make a qualified decision. I am currently using a process to validate business ideas to determine if there is a market to avoid wasting time or money. Our brains are always seeking to conserve energy and look to systems or the familiar to solve problems. Embrace the benefit of a process and listen for those that are used by people around you.
Do you automatically go to your process or does it take convincing? When was the first time you used this method? When was the last time you used your process? How have you deviated from your process? What other methods are in your toolbox? What processes do you use outside of your professional life?

In Discipline and Punish (1975) Michel Foucault discusses how mechanisms and processes within institutions become normalised as part of an exercise of power. Foucault explains that the classical age brought with it a different approach to education. The body was required to become "docile" through its management by "disciplinary power" (1991: 156). The operations required to be carried out by the student were controlled down to the finest detail and Foucault provides information on how this training was carried out: students were given strict instruction on how to sit and write (1991: 152). Foucault makes it clear that this form of direction was not about teaching or instructing the student in a specific gesture; it actually imposed "the best relation between a gesture and the overall position of the body, which is the condition of efficiency and speed." (ibid.). Not only was it required that the individual (the body) was controlled to the minutest degree, but also that, with the required training, eventually these gestures would become 'natural' (1991: 156). It is essentially for the perpetuation of any ideology that the subject assumes their position (both within the apparatus and in his/her body): the student in the school makes the appropriate gesture which has not only become organic for them but also concretises them in the material process of the institution. They act as they are instructed: they carry out actions (Althusser) in the form of these gestures (Foucault) which are materially inculcated in the body-politic.
For Foucault this body-politic is: "a set of material elements and techniques that serve as weapons, relays, communications routes and supports for the power and knowledge relations that invest human bodies and subjugate them by turning them into objects of knowledge." (1991: 28). While it may initially seem that describing the contemporary student (or member of staff) as subjugated is a gross exaggeration of a state that the modern body could possibly be forced into in a democratic world; on closer examination it becomes apparent that power is applied in a much more subtle way in postmodernity. The seeds of the application of the power/knowledge process, that still operates in the institution today, are apparent in Foucault's exploration of education in Discipline and Punish. Before discussing how I believe Foucault's model of power dovetails with excellence in the posthistoric university, I shall briefly explain how, for Foucault, power works in relation to knowledge.
Foucault explains that thinking of power and knowledge as separate from each other, that they exist in detached domains, is a mistake; in fact "power produces knowledge" (1991: 27). Foucault says "there is no power relation without the correlative constitution of a field of knowledge, nor any knowledge that does no presuppose and constitute at the same time power relations." (ibid.). Knowledge of something – for example, a field of theory or, indeed, knowledge of individuals – produces power; but also being in a position of power enables knowledge to be gleaned. Foucault explains that this reciprocal power/knowledge process involves the knowing subject, the known object and also the modes used in the procurement of that knowledge (1991: 27-28). In relation to micro-politics, this works in regards to knowledge of the individual, in particular the body, as is apparent in instructing students on how to sit and write. It is this that Foucault describes as "political anatomy" (1991: 28). However, he makes it clear that this is a procedure that does not decontextualise the subject, or the body; it is the analysis of a process, the body-politic, which means the individual cannot be removed from this activity and examined on their own in relation to power (ibid.).
Previously I discussed how the term 'excellence' fits in with the actions of the subject who is part of the university: excellence requires processes of qualification that materially situate the subject who is partaking in that process in the institution, and therefore in the ISA. Foucault explains how an obsession with procedures and rules becomes an economic process:
The meticulousness of the regulations, the fussiness of the inspections, the supervision of the smallest fragment of life and the body will soon provide, in the context of the school [...] an economic or technical rationality for this mystical calculus of the infinitesimal and the infinite. (1991: 140).
In the University of Excellence these are the qualifying gestures that measure the system's efficiency. However, describing them as simply 'gestures' implies that they are innocuous. By employing Althusser's ideological model we have seen how the individuals in the university become subjected through their actions. However, by applying Foucault's power/knowledge theory we can see how this process operates on the body itself. So, in a sense, this could be described as doubly material. If we hold that Althusser's subjection of the individual is material (actions take place within concrete apparatuses); and that, for Foucault, knowledge of the individual brings with it a process that propels them into a relationship of power through the control of the body (the material body as it functions within that particular domain of power), then excellence does not only invest the subject in the ideology of the specific ideological apparatus, it also physically represses them at the same time. While repression seems like an extremely strong term to use to describe what occurs within the university, when examining Foucault further it becomes apparent that this repression (subjugation) is actually quite subtle.
Interestingly, Foucault also uses religion to examine power in relation to what is required of the disciplined individual, as does Althusser when he talks about how by carrying out the actions required by God you are showing that you believe (for example, kneeling to pray). Foucault says that details are essential to theology, God expresses his wishes through these details: "For the disciplined man, as for the true believer, no detail is unimportant, but not so much for the meaning that it conceals within itself as for the hold it provides for the power that wishes to seize it." (ibid.). The detailed procedures that are part of the practice of religion - instilled in the actions carried out by the individual - provide access to power which becomes utilised elsewhere. In the university this works in a number of ways. One example to consider would be the feedback students are constantly required to 'volunteer' on the various service sectors in the university, for example: teaching, accommodation, catering or the library. It may not initially seem that power is being relinquished in these moments: a tick box form may not appear to have any other function than that of an attempt to improves services. Could a feedback process that asks for your individual experience of your BA be considered differently: a qualitative form, taking part in a meeting or an interview. All the information collected is saved and used within, and outside, the institution. This is knowledge about the student, detailed information that, in fact, most members of the university are constantly providing, without question. This information becomes the data on which the university operates: plans are formed form it, ranking takes place based on it.
For Foucault ranking is part of the theme of classification which he situates in an epoch centred around the 18th and 19th centuries (the classical age). However, this ranking does not fix individuals, in the more obvious sense, in physical space; rather it propels them into this power/knowledge process (1991: 143). Foucault explains how disciplines of power work in relation to ranking: "Discipline is an art of rank, a technique for the transformation of arrangements. It individualizes bodies by a location that does not give them a fixed position, but distributes them and circulates them in a network of relations." (1991: 146). The student at the university is constantly being assessed, and therefore ranked, through examinations, essays or feedback from lecturers or tutors: "The examination that places individuals in a field of surveillance also situates them in a network of writing; it engages them in a whole mass of documents that capture and fix them." (1991: 189).
The data produced from these assessments is considered in the light of excellence; ultimately appearing in ranking tables which enable the university to sell themselves in the national and international marketplace. But, simultaneously, the effect on the individual – this process of evaluation does not just apply to students, but also staff – is one that puts them into circulation in relation to power: "[...] the table has the function of treating multiplicity itself, distributing it and deriving from it as many effects as possible." (Foucault 1991: 149). In a sense, the data produced and circulated becomes a form of currency: the university exchanges its ranking tables for new students (fees). In a Marxian sense the students and staff sell themselves (their bodies) to the university in the form of their labour – the student may appear to be the customer but they also bring in fees from elsewhere, by attending the university (and completing their course) they bring in funding. In becoming "the target for new mechanisms of power" (Foucault 1991: 155) the knowledge produced by the interrogation of the student/staff creates another level of product, one that is utilised when it is put back into play. When the data collected from individuals appears in the ranking tables, it provides an financial return.

Center for Wooden Boats & Museum of History and Industry
"First Thursday" is one of my FAVORITE times of the month. First Thursday basically translates to Free admission for select museums around Seattle. AWESOME, especially for a broke college student who love museums. For August, I headed down to South Lake Union to check out the Museum of History and Industry.
Seattle has had an abnormally warm summer which is good and bad...but I decided to take advantage of it and strolled on down instead of taking the bus.
How Seattle...sea planes waiting at the docks.
And by this point I was sweating and regretting this decision. Of course I had decided to go on one of the hottest days of the week. I guess I can't complain though, it was a really beautiful walk.
Now the MOHAI is nestled right on the south end of Lake Union. You've got the water right in front, the Space Needle to the left, the city right behind you, obviously a prime location.
Right next door to MOHAI is the Center for Wooden Boats which offers sailing classes, history, renting boats, etc. I was so EXCITED. My friend Nelle had posted some adorable pictures on social media of the place, so I knew I had to take time to explore.
If you are EVER in Seattle, I highly encourage you to check this place out. It's a fun place to walk around and just see. Seattle has always been a "boat" city if you will and to see handcrafted masterpieces is incredible.
Hey! There's the Space Needle.
After the CWB, I went over to the MOHAI and struggled to find the entrance. I might have been distracted by the massive boats docked right outside.
The boats could be rented out for special events or wandered about when not in use!
Okay, now it was time to check out the museum!
This little light bulb was just sat outside the museum advertising the latest exhibit. It was really funny to me because it seemed so out of place and random.
It was MOHAI time! Side note: this building looks like it should be in Washington D.C.
When you immediately enter, you're greeted by all things local and Seattle.
The famous, original pink "Toe" Truck is immortalized here in all it's punny glory.
Now I caught sight of this large cross section of a tree out of the corner of my eye and scuttled over. Last year when I was in London, I went to the Natural History Museum which had a massive cross section of a tree with dates on the rings like this one in Seattle! This tree is 800 years old. Crazy.
Remember the light bulb from outside? It was for this exhibit Innovate featuring many Seattle born companies and ideas.
This was such a cool piece. There was everything from a little start-up called Microsoft, to Pocock Racing Shells (made famous by UW rowing), and even a local coffee business named Starbucks. I realized that Seattle is an epicenter for ideas and the next big "thing". There are all of these ideas swirling around and people here making them happen. I'm just lucky that I'm able to witness such innovation and hopefully one day partake in it!
Feeling inspired, I headed up stairs for more history!
The second floor takes you back to Seattle's roots, starting from settlement and all the way to modern sports with EVERYTHING in between.
On the third floor, there is a special room dedicated to sailing and shipping since it has been a vital part to Seattle's history and industry (I see what they did there). I kind of got distracted by the room itself and the views outside.
After my wander around the museum, I had one last stroll through the docks and then finally made my way to bus stop.
Fabulous day doing what I love: exploring and learning!

Episode 12 - We Owe You Nothing, Read the Book w/ Stevie Rees
Episode 12 of Trevor Larkin Talks and Listens is live!
I met Stevie Rees on a weekend run with Dwight Yoakam. I was struck, obviously, by his absurd musicianship, and his low-key ninja/buddha insightfulness revealed itself as I gained his trust via fried chicken. Sharing the stage was a joy, and he's a freaking legend, which you'll soon discover.
Amazing conversations are nourishing in so many ways, and the podcast's helped me approach songwriting with fresh perspective. I put the one take videos on hold for a while because, after weeks of being graciously invited into people's worlds, I realized some new lyrics were bullshit. I mean, nice poems, well constructed and all that, but out of synch with my current real estate in the universe. It can be a beautiful thing, selecting all, pressing delete and starting over, an invitation for honestly to take center stage.

Ride Studio Cafe Club member Jay Mueller has had a rough beginning to his season--as has one of our Cafe Racer teammates. The one positive thing about Jay's misfortune is that it allows us to see some incredible images from the race that he was planning on crushing: The Absa Cape Epic. The race is a ridiculous eight days of grueling marathon length mountain bike stages in Cape Town Africa.
Unfortunately, as Jay explains, "I crashed out of the most anticipated race I have ever entered and was forced to switch gears...pun intended...and have been shooting around, also trying to get every face that crosses the finish line."
Check out Jay's photography here.

We hope that Jay and Alex recover quickly from their racing accidents. The Club needs them!

I am working with Xamarin in VS Community 2017 and I am trying make a foreground service with a notification, but in the command "Startforeground" the VS says " The name 'StartForeground' does not exist in the context "
How can I could solve this?
Follow the code:
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, typeof(BackgroundService_Android));
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.GetActivity(this, 0,
notificationIntent, 0);
Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.SetContentTitle("My Awesome App")
.SetContentText("Doing some work...")
StartForeground(1337, notification);
Here's a demo that might help a bit in understanding the code: https://developer.xamarin.com/samples/monodroid/ApplicationFundamentals/ServiceSamples/ForegroundServiceDemo/
The biggest question I have here is regarding where the code is being ran from. Based on the demo above, we first need to start a service within an activity and then call
StartForeground() to register the service with the OS. This method is available when you are calling it in a class extending Service. Example Service.

If you're not a designer, and maybe can't afford to have a full-time or subcontracted designer on call to meet all your design-related needs, you'll need to brush up on your skills. The beauty of YouTube today is that you can learn to do pretty much everything, including heart surgery (but don't try that one at home!).
There are some great self-taught programs available such as InDesign, Illustrator and PhotoShop. It's not hard to learn the basics and you could even sign up for short courses through General Assembly or other design schools in your area.
"Because content is king, it's essential your images reflect the quality of your product or service. My program of choice is InDesign - learning to use it was the best thing I ever did for my skillset. I do almost everything on InDesign now - creative production, basic photo editing and plain ol' documents I used to make on Word. For beginners, I highly recommend Canva or WordSwag. They are DIY tools loaded with templates, images and fonts. No matter your creativity level, you can make pro-looking graphics quickly and easily."

National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community. Furthermore, it provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances.
The Quantum team would like to give a round of applause to Island Walk, Cedar Ridge Apartments, Crescent Apartments, Marywood Apartments, Echo Mountain, and Herndon Harbor House for their participation in helping residents celebrate neighborhood support, crime prevention, peace and community spirit. With their contributions of great food, photo area and corn hole everyone had an awesome time-we have photos and footage to prove it!
Accessing fresh, organic produce at a reasonable price can be a struggle for anyone, especially those who struggle financially. This is why Island Walk partnered with Ladybell Farms for a special one-day event on Friday, May 18, 2018, that turned into much more. While our initial goal was to provide vegetables at a discount, we decided to take this opportunity up a couple of notches.
In addition to Ladybell Farms bringing fresh vegetables as well as flowers, we also invited some community partners for a Resource Fair. In attendance were representatives from Herndon Health Works, Training Futures, Computer CORE, Fairfax County Public Schools, Fairfax County Police, and we even had a "Maintenance Corner" from Island Walk's very own Maintenance Supervisor, Carlos Lazo. A few of the Island Walk teens also decided to use this event to hold a bake sale to raise funds to send a box of kids clothes, books, and toys to El Salvador!
One more special aspect of the event was that we used the opportunity to invite our neighbors from across the street in a housing development called Golf Course Island. Our goal is to build relationships and to thank them for the Little Free Library they donated to us earlier this year. Residents purchased produce, explored our resource fair, and were walked down to the Little Free Library by Island Walk Teen Volunteers.
Despite heavy rains, Island Walk's Fresh Produce Market & Resource Fair event was very successful! We had over 50 attendees from Island Walk, Golf Course Island, community partners, and Island Walk staff. Because the event was well-received, Ladybell Farms has agreed to hold regular markets throughout the summer and fall and we will continue to use these events as opportunities to further build community relations and bring valuable resources to the residents.
The newly completed day lounge at Robert L. Walker House was dedicated and named in honor and recognition of New Image Community Baptist Church Pastor Donald Garner's relentless service and commitment to the Robert L. Walker House.
Pastor Garner has served faithfully as a Trustee, Deacon, Member of the Male and Gospel Choirs, Sunday School and Bible Study Teachers, Minister of Education, Chairman of the Finance and Control Board, Assistant to the Pastor, Assistant Pastor, Presbytery Board Member, and Pastor of Administration. He has served as Pastor since July 2000. He is a graduate of the Givens Bible College of Rhema Christian Center and has a Master's Degree in Biblical Studies from Calvary Christian College.
Don't Throw Your Trash Where the Fish Splash
By NHT Sustainability Manager Kathleen Berube
Few of us routinely think about our personal actions and the quality of our watershed. Why would we? We're all busy, wrapped up in our daily lives. We don't consider the impact of the bottle we saw on the ground, the trash that blew by or the soap we used to wash our car. Even though we may not be aware, our actions have a tremendous impact on the quality of stormwater. Many seemingly benign actions have a very real detrimental effect on aquatic ecosystems. Changing our behaviors is not hard, but sometimes we need a little reminder.
Enter storm drain murals.
Storm drain murals, as the name implies, are pieces of artwork designed to foster a connection between the viewer and the watershed. The murals, accompanied by actionable messages like "only rain down this drain" and "don't throw trash where the fish splash" catch the eye of those who pass by. Regular viewing of these murals encourages us to be more self-reflective and consider a change in our ways. Maybe you make an extra effort to property dispose of that plastic bottle, run after the trash that blew by, and take your car to a wash where water is cleaned and recycled.
The residents of Copeland Manor, a NHT-Enterprise property in SE D.C., recently participated in an artwork competition to design three storm drain murals. Residents were invited to submit concepts, slogans and sketches to inspire the final mural designs. The winning residents worked with a professional artist to transform their concepts into unique designs that reflected the personality of Copeland Manor and the residents who live there.
In April of 2018 all three murals were painted onto the drains. NHT-Enterprise staff, Copeland Manor residents and a professional artist all worked together to create amazing pieces of art that will inspire change in the community for years to come. Now, when Copeland Manor residents walk through their community they will see beautiful reminders that their actions, good or bad, have a tremendous impact on the Anacostia River. The hope is that small individual changes will add up to a larger culture of environmental stewardship at Copeland Manor.
This project was made possible by the Community Stormwater Solutions grant from the District Department of Energy and Environment. NHT-Enterprise hopes to expand its storm drain murals and environmental education efforts across it's D.C. portfolio soon. A huge thank you to Maria Mandel of Creative Couch Designs and the residents and staff of Copeland Manor for making this project a smashing success!

In honor of National Heart Month, each Mrs. Philippines resident donated one can of food. They put a heart on each can, and we called it "Canned Food with a Heart."
We took the canned food to Oxon Hill United Methodist Church and donated them for the community. The residents were very happy with this successful program!

Social portal with event management system
The Social Portal started as an enthusiastic project of an American entrepreneur several years ago. Back then (on-line) community was not the buzz-word it is today, and Web 2.0 was yet in the future. And the idea to provide a common on-line place to identify events of interest in vicinity, to plan (e.g. finding a restaurant near that concert hall) and share the whole experience with the fellow-citizens seemed both new and promising. And this is how it happened. Since then, Southern California Social Portal has evolved to be a leading social portal, providing access to local information and allowing for active user-driven content about: Events, Travel, Shopping, Nightlife (LA), Articles, Blogs, Picture & video, Food & drinks.
"Southern California Social Portal" provides a variety of modules to facilitate rich user content and community experience. As content is centered on the events, the Events Subsystem is the heart of the site. It is a web based system that displays and interacts with information about events taking place in various locations in South California. The specific location where an event is held (concert hall, stadium, exhibition hall, restaurant, etc.) is called a venue. Event Subsystem supports registration of managers and users, creating and managing events, multiple administrations. It gives possibilities for online reservations, automatically sending emails, sending notifications, creating and managing newsletters.
- The application provides functionality for bulk import and export of events to MS Excel files.
- It also provides a huge number of admin reports and monitoring tools.
- It has an extensive Error Handling module.
- The application supports user roles: Administrators, Event Managers and Users.

7,000 Jamaicans are modern-day slaves – report
As Jamaica prepares to celebrate Emancipation Day on August 1, there are some 7,000 people living in modern-day slavery on the island according to the Global Slavery Index published on Thursday.
Although slavery and the four-year apprenticeship period officially ended 180 years ago, 2.57 people out of every 1,000 living in Jamaica are estimated to be living as slaves, the report said.
Globally, the report estimates that some 40.3 million people are living in modern-day slavery – with 71 per cent of those females and 29 per cent males. Some 24.9 million of the total are believed to be in forced labour, with another 15.4 million in forced marriages.
With little-known forced marriages in Jamaica, the country has a prevelance index rank of 112 out of 167 countries for its level of slavery.
That puts it well behind Haiti, the first country to overturn slavery some 215 years ago. According to the report, Haiti has some 55,000 people living as slaves out of a population of 10.7 million, giving it a rating of 62 out of 167. Its rate of slavery is 5.55 people per 1,000 – the second highest in the Americas, just behind Venezuela at 161 with a rate of 5.58 per 1,000.
In fact, Jamaica has a smaller proportion of modern slaves than any of the other Caribbean countries listed, including: Barbados at 2.75 per 1,000. Trinidad at 2.96, Guyana at 2.59, the Dominican Republic at 4.03 and Cuba at 3.77. Suriname, a member of Caricom neighbouring Guyana, scored lower than Jamaica with a rate of 2.3 per 1,000.
Meanwhile the United Kingdom, which ended slavery (though not indentured labour) across its empire in 1834, has a slightly lower level of slavery than Jamaica, according to the report. An estimated 136,000 people live in modern-day slavery in the former colonial power, the report says. That gives it a prevelance index rate of 132 and and an overall rate of 2.06 slaves per 1,000 people.
Singapore with a population of 5.5 million people scores worse than Jamaica with an estimated 19,000 modern-day slaves, giving it a rate of 3.43 and ranking it 97th in the survey.
Slavery is also alive and well in Africa where every country has modern-day slavery including Nigeria with a rate of 7.65 per 1,000, Ghana with a rate of 4.84, South Africa with a rate of 2.8 – but worst of all is Eritrea, ranked second in the world, with a rate of 93.03 modern-day slaves per 1,000 people.
Slavery also exists across Europe, with the worst offender being Turkmenistan with a rate of 11.2, followed by Belarus (10.9) and Macedonia (8.7). Greece, a member of the European Union, was fourth highest in Europe with a rate of 7.91 per 1,000, ranking it 27th in the survey.
The country with the highest rate of modern slavery is North Korea, the report says, with some 2.62 million modern-day slaves in its population of about 25 million – giving it a rate of 104.56 per 1,000 people.
The United States ranks low on its proportion of slaves, with 1.26 per 1,000 people, placing it at 158th out of 167 countries. But given its population of 320 million, the report estimates that some 403,000 are living as modern-day slaves.
Its northen neighbour Canada ranks even better, 166th out of 167 countries with a rate of 0.48 per 1,000 people. That translates to an estimated 17,000 modern-day slaves, or 10,000 more than Jamaica.
The country with the lowest level of modern slavery is Japan with a rate of 0.3 per 1,000 people.
The report also looks into the types of products exported to the main industrialised countries (G20) that are most at risk of being a part of the modern-day slavery value chain. The top five include: laptops, computers and mobile phones at top place followed by garments, fish, cocoa and sugar cane.
In the context of the report, modern slavery covers a set of specific legal concepts including forced labour, debt bondage, forced marriage, slavery and slavery-like practices, and human trafficking.
"Essentially, it refers to situations of exploitation that a person cannot refuse or leave because of threats, violence, coercion, deception, and/or abuse of power. For example, their passport might be taken away if they are in a foreign country, they might experience or be threatened with violence, or their family might be threatened," the report states.

It's been a year chock-full of notable developments here at MDA. Can you say first PrimalCon [1], first cookbook [2], first reader cookbook [3], and the Primal Blueprint Fitness eBook [4] (not to mention new Primal Nutrition products [5])? On top of it all, the MDA web community, is bigger, more active, and more involved than ever. I'd say we've pushed the envelope in all directions this year, eh?
At the close of this eventful year, I think a thoughtful "look back" is in order. (No sappy music or evocative stills, however.) 2010 was hands-down a year of mind-blowing recipes, kick start WOW workouts [6], record Primal Challenge giveaways [7], pensive creativity posts, tongue-in-cheek jests, scientific scrutiny – and plenty of healthy Primal debate along the way. It was the year of the massively popular forum and of the now celebrity figure Grok himself (emblazoned on t-shirts, tattoos [8], etc.). Finally, it was also – more than ever – the year of the reader success story [9]: men and women who took charge of their health with the PB and simultaneously confounded the medical establishment. The proof is in the pudding, as they say, and these readers' tales tell it all.
Although it's impossible to do full justice to 2010 in an abbreviated list, it's nonetheless revealing, powerful and just plain fun to peruse many of the highlights – posts that reflect the year's developments, that carved out new Primal territory, or that just got peoples' comments flying. I've included something for everyone here – from the best eats to the toughest workouts, the most moving stories to the most meticulous medical commentaries. It's a list of how-to's, Definitive Guides [10], Dear Marks [11], reviews, and recommendations.
As I look back on 2010, I'm genuinely inspired by what the PB community has accomplished together, and I'm more motivated than ever to offer up my personal best to all of you at MDA. A toast! Raise your coffee cup, water bottle, or whatever else you have in hand. To a truly outstanding year and to all of you who helped make it so. Grok on!

Its worth haveing a pr., because they are just "so much fun to listen to.
6 responses Add your response
The Rogers LS3/5a was designed with monitoring in a very small space. The "Q" is a relatively high 1.2, so the bass is slightly warm, not taught or particularly tight. Indeed fun to listen to, but not a standard reference. One would probably have to spend considerably more for reference quality. ProAc or Theil pop to mind, as do B&W 800 series or Wilson. Reference monitors are not necessarily the most fun to listen to, so it depends on what you want to hear. Artemis Eos are the finest sound that have graced these ears, however, there were many dollars sitting up-stream.
My opinion is LS3/5a is definitely fun to listen to even they have been around for more than few decays. I have a pair and they are running with Cary Audio SLP-50a pre(mod.)/Pass Labs Alpha 3 power & Naim CDX CD player. What a superb system. I am still looking for a pair of matching subs to add to this small system. If anyone knows where I can still get them please let me know(must be in walnut finish and made in England version).
verrrrrrry natural on voice but the new spendor s-3/5 replacement seems to be the natural progression. also the spendor has no midbass hump and should be easier to mate to a sub. theres a review in the absolute sound issue 119/aug-sep'99. the tweeter in the ls3/5a is the kef t27 isnt particularly extended in the very top. i know this, i have two loudspeakers with that driver. the b-100 is the mid/woof,also is in those two spkrs. they were designed in the late or mid 70s. a lot of progress has been made since then and we can benefit form that progress. these spendors are only $900 the pair, i for one have intentions of hearing them and possibly buying them. also i have ls3/5a-s and i really liked them a lot. i wish i still had them instead of the $300 i sold them for. the distrubitors email is [email protected] i hope i have shed some light on this subject for you.

Arnold is suffering through yet another day of winter when Ms. Frizzle suggests they take a field trip to somewhere else - like Hawaii! Wanda is disappointed, since she wants to visit the Arctic and save a rare fern, but changes her mind when she finds a cute little fish in the ocean. As Wanda tries to protect the fish, she and her classmates learn about how fish (and friends) can work together.
The black and white illustrations are rather bland - I would venture that only kids who grew up on the movies and original books will recognize each kid, who has a distinctive personality. Ms. Frizzle has apparently straightened her hair, which even I noticed, and the cast is carefully diverse, although, at least in this adventure, the white kids take the main roles. A glossary, dialogue with Ms. Frizzle with additional information, and discussion questions are included at the end of the book.
Honestly, I wasn't particularly impressed with this. I felt that the text was flat and bland, as was the art. The theme of the book wasn't well-defined, which left me wondering why Wanda was trying to "save" a random fish, without even researching its status. The kids are stereotyped and there's a little too much teasing of the characters for their various quirks for my taste.
However, none of this bothers the kids who recognize familiar characters, enjoy the touch of science, and like the nature-themed adventures.
Verdict: If you purchase all the Branches series, I wouldn't leave this one out, but if you can only get a few focus on other, more popular and better-written titles.

Don't blame us.
The defiant backers of the film that sparked protests used as a cover to carry out a deadly terror attack against the US consulate in Libya said they don't feel the least bit guilty about the murders.
"It's not our fault," Steve Klein, the California insurance agent and right-wing extremist who worked as a consultant on "Innocence of Muslims," said yesterday. "We didn't want anybody to get killed, but [the] truth had to come out."
Terrorists used a protest over the film at the consulate in Benghazi to launch a vicious attack that left four dead — including US Ambassador Christopher Stevens.
"Islam is a cancer," said a man who identified himself as the filmmaker, Sam Bacile, blaming the attacks on lax security.
"The security system is no good," Bacile told London's Daily Mail. "America should do something to change it."
The bombastic statements came as Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called on anti-Islamic preacher Terry Jones to stop promoting the film.
Google, which owns YouTube, yesterday said it would not pull down the controversial movie clip but blocked access to it in Egypt and Libya.
Bacile is reportedly an Israeli Jew and California real-estate developer.
He told news outlets he's in hiding; Klein said Bacile is a pseudonym for a man who is neither Jewish nor Israeli. The men claim their two-hour film cost $5 million to make and was financed by 100 Jewish "mom and pop" donors from around the world.
Klein says he "feels bad" about Stevens' death but insists he carries no guilt.
Meanwhile, one of the video's actresses, Cindy Lee Garcia, told Gawker the casting notice made no mention of Mohammed and the deaths linked to the film "makes me sick."

Without much effort I could list at least fifty separate impeachable offenses committed by the Obama Administration over the last five years. But isn't just being a communist enough?
Let's stop playing word games here… progressive, socialist, Marxist, liberal, fascist, Maoist, collectivist, anti-imperialism, totalitarian, even the term democracy… these are all terms used as cover for the real agenda, communism.

After few leaked photos, Skoda officially introduced today the 2014 Rapid Spaceback, a new car that promises to combine good practical qualities with the hatchback shape. Set to celebrate its premiere at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, the 2014 Rapid Spaceback will hit the market in October 2013.
Featuring a 2,602 millimeters wheelbase, the Rapid Spaceback has a 'C' and a 'D' column with a third side window and can be optionally fitted with a panoramic tinted glass roof which stretches from the windscreen to the rear window.
At the rear, the 2014 Skoda Rapid Spaceback features a roof spoiler and optional prolong rear window that constitutes an additional design accent. The interior features a sporty three-spoke steering wheel, stylish trim lines and fresh designs for the seat covers.
The rear of the Rapid Spaceback offers the largest legroom (64 millimeters) and the largest headroom (980 millimeters) in its segment. Likewise, the trunk volumes are among the best figures in the segment, measuring 415 liters or 1,380 liters when the rear bench is folded down.
Moreover, the 2014 Rapid Spaceback comes with the ice scraper in the fuel filler flap, holder for the safety vest under the driver seat, double-sided floor cover in the trunk or the waste bin in the side door, parking ticket holder, multimedia holder and cup holders in the front and rear or the parcel shelf.
On the European market, the 2014 Skoda Rapid Spaceback will be available with four petrol and two diesel engines. These advanced power plants put out between 55 and 90 kW, the 1.6 TDI/66 kW celebrating its premiere in the Rapid model series. The GreenLine version of the Rapid Spaceback needs only mere 3.8 l per 100 km, CO2 emissions amounting to 99 g/km.
Compared to the Rapid limousine, the Rapid Spaceback's exterior is shorter by 18 cm. Despite that, the amount of space for the passenger in the Spaceback is almost the same as that of its elder sibling. Passengers sitting in the rear get to experience legroom measuring 64 mm, the largest in the segment. Headroom is the largest as well at 980 mm.
Meanwhile boot volume is also one of the best for its class measuring 415 liters and with the rear seat folded down, the space increases to 1,380 liters. Werner Eichhorn, who is the board member at Skoda responsible for sales and marketing, reveals that the new Spaceback is the latest choice in the compact car class that offers an excellent mix of design, functionality, and space.
That this model offers ample amount of space, he continues, is the best example of one of the key values at Skoda. He adds that similar to the usual Skoda model, the interior of the Spaceback brings to the segment new standards. In order to complement the already generous space, Skoda implemented a number of "Simply Clever" solutions for the Spaceback.
For example, the boot reveals a double cargo floor which allows the space to be divided to two horizontal levels, resulting in double utility. This Rapid Spaceback also has every practical feature that customers have long been familiar with in the Rapid. As such, there is the warning vest holder positioned under the driver seat. Then there is the ice scraper that has been placed on the lockable centrally-positioned fuel filler flap.
Other examples of such features are the waste bin placed on the side door and the double-sided floor cover on the vehicle's boot. It does not stop there as the Rapid Spaceback also reveals a ticket holder and a parcel shelf which can be stowed at the back of the seats in the rear. A multi-media holder is also available with cup holders available not only on the front but on the rear as well.
