You were born and raised at the foot of Black Castle. The abandoned stronghold was once the main headquarter of King Arthur. The chambers of this place used to be filled from bottom to top with war spoils, valuable relics and the treasury was flooding with precious ores. Every day the corridors were full of nobles, knights, overseas merchants and all kinds of kingdom's advisors, strategists and ordinary henchmen.
You don't remember the glory days of the kingdom. After the murder of the ruler the fortress was drown in chaos. Magicians out of concern for the good of the royal family sealed Black Castle with a mighty magic spell but the angry and greedy mob had already managed to plunder most of the stronghold's wealth while entrance to the castle was buried for ages during unfortunate battles.
All that was left was a bunch of spider webs and an echo of the past glory. It would stay in this condition if not for local miners who – by accident, found an abandoned shaft that led straight to the Black Castle. Frightened by their discovery, miners ran away and notified the city council which after a short discussion called... You!
To your surprise, the council says there's still something left in the castle... The legendary and mighty sword – Excalibur which after the assassination of the king was sealed for ages in the stone statue. It's a symbol of power held by the royal family and it cannot fall into the wrong hands. The order is clear – you must find King Arthur's sword.
The problem is – rumours travel very quickly and the trace of the ancient sword was already picked up by spies' form neighbouring country and they'll possess the knowledge needed to retrieve it any day now. To get the upper hand you have to use the passage discovered by the miners.
Despite the upcoming storm you climb among mountain cliffs until you reach the entrance of the castle. Finally, you could help rebuild your kingdom. Will you obtain the sword?

Absolute Blue Invitation 1/04/19 - 1/05/19
Absolute Blue Postholidizes
Now that the holiday season is behind us, we feel a sense of emptiness as the parties, celebrations and festivities are over. It's like a mourning that lasts all afternoon and evening. As we take time to ponder the true meaning of a week and a half after Christmas, it's time to say goodbye to Ebenezer and the Christmas ghosts, the Grinch and the people of Whoville, George Bailey and Mr. Potter and hopefully Flo from Progressive and Jake from State Farm. But it's also time to review what we've accomplished over the past year, to take stock. Or bonds. Or a nicely managed mutual fund. Since 2018 will always be remembered as the year we leveraged our retirement fund in bitcoin futures, we look forward to continuing our struggle for legitimacy in the coming year, which we understand to be much better than the opposite. So we hereby bring you our extremely acceptable 2019 New Year's Resolutions:
-Tom: For 2019 I resolve to be more tolerant and consider all viewpoints when making decisions, consider a guiding paradigm to self-betterment and value the many and varied opinions and thoughts of others no matter what their political, social, economic, gender or spiritual beliefs. Except musicians.
-Skip: My New Year's Revolution will be against the fascist, tyrannical overseers of social media who repeatedly thwart my attempts to post plans to use my considerable mind control powers to thwart terrorism and crush beer cans.
-Bill: I will be revolving counterclockwise, as always.
-Kevin: I will be resolving math problems that were previously solved.
-Don: I'm surprised to hear of Bluebeard's Absolution as I understood him to be a most barbaric pirate.
Join us this Friday to officially honor the end of the holidays in our very first Falalalapalooza at Monkey Bar in Indialantic from 8 to 12…

He will also address a community programme and interact with the Indian community.
After Belgium, Prime Minister will be in Washington DC on 31st March to participate in the fourth Nuclear Security Summit, where several nations and global organisations would be represented.
"The Summit would deliberate on the crucial issue of threat to nuclear security caused by nuclear terrorism. Leaders would discuss ways and measure through which to strengthen the global nuclear security architecture, especially to ensure that non-state actors do not get access to nuclear material. On the sidelines of the Summit, I would meet with several world leaders to carry forward the agenda of bilateral cooperation with those nations," the Prime Minister said earlier.
On April 2 and 3, he will be visiting Saudi Arabia.at the invitation of King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.

I know it's been discussed before, but why does the tile has "Welcome to" in front of it? I understand that on the box art and title screen they added that wecome part in front of the game title, but the game itself is title Animal Crossing: Wild World.
Proof of that is as follow.

Well, we follow boxart. And please note: many of those gaming sites include "Oide yo" in the japanese title. I wonder whether they know what that means.
Kryztal @ 2010-08-01 10:28:52
I've been curious about that myself. I understand they added the welcome part to the box art but that's not actually part of the game title itself. Shouldn't the game title have precedence over any added text on the box art?

The past few weeks had really been a challenge for me. I battled with mild depression due to several circumstances. I wasn't able to eat right for around two weeks or so and suffered insomnia as well. I kind of lost my normal cheerful self, but I think I did my best in faking my mood. I did my best to keep up though. After a week of drinking glasses of cocktails and beer instead of dealing with the real stuff, I decided to cross out that scene and went to catch-up dates with my friends instead. Indeed, going out in the open helped me recover.
The whole month of May had been a rollercoaster of emotions. It made me realize a lot of things. As I gather every single day of struggle in my memory, I can't help but be proud of how I am able to smile now… Of how I am able to smile genuinely again. I have never felt this kind of liberation for a long time, and I thank God for unlocking my cages. This time, I'm ready to see the world without anything that's holding me back. This time, I am ready to take over. This time, I am ready to heal.
That's why I'm launching my first project for 2016: #100HappyThings. I guess I'll be doing this as part of my own healing process. The moment I reach the 100th Happy Thing, I know I will already be a better, stronger and wiser person than who I am now.
It's time.

when i was around four or five, my mother used to tell me that when you ate watermelon seeds, you'd turn into a watermelon. i of course pretended not to believe her, but one day as we munched on some watermelon, she ate the seeds instead of spitting them out. "you'll turn into a watermelon!!" i cried. she told me that was something she'd made up, and i went up to my room to play until dinner.
around six, my mother called out for me to come to the table, but i was busy playing so i didn't go. there was a knock on my bedroom door, and my mom said, "honey, are you coming to dinner?"
i turned to tell her i'd be there in a minute, and there was a WATERMELON WHERE HER HEAD SHOULD HAVE BEEN!!!! i screamed bloodly murder as the watermelon admonished me on my tardiness and told me to wash my hands before coming to the table. and then my mom dropped the melon to reveal her real head and laughed and laughed as she headed downstairs.
i no longer believe watermelon seeds turn you into a watermelon, but i i do believe in therapy.
My grandfather told me when I was about 4 that if I ate watermelon seeds, a watermelon vine would grow in my stomach.
I thought that was the coolest thing I had ever heard of (I love watermelon), so I ate some seeds, drank some water, swallowed some dirt and stood in the backyard with my mouth open to make sure some sunlight got down there.
I was very disappointed when it didn't happen.
i thought that the little seeds on hamburger buns were hamburger seeds...and i tryed to grow a hamburger once or twice... :)
At the age of four (the best year of my life), my dad and I went to McDonalds and I ordered a hamburger. Instead of eating it like I should've, I was picking the sesame seeds off of the bun. Dad finally asked what I was doing. I simply answered: "I'm gonna grow a hamburger tree!"
At some point when I was young my Dad explained to me that if you ever ate a sesame seed it would get to your intestines and poke a hole and escape. It would then travel all around your body, until one day it would pop out through your skin. Any time I went to McDonalds I always had to make sure I ordered the "Hamburger Without Seeds", or else I would have to spend a good amount of time picking off all of the seed while evey one else was happly enjoying their burgers ( I never seemed to worry about other people eating them). I would inspect the backs of my hands to make sure the seeds weren't coming out, for some reasonthat were I thought they exited.
It was only when I was about 20 that I realized one day that seseme seeds couldn't possibly do that! Thanks Dad, for a good 15 years of sesame seed fear :)
My dad told me that if you eat the seeds of a strawberry as a child, you wouldn't like strawberries when you grew up. I always felt sad whenever I ate strawberries.
Mom told me that potatoes grew behind my ears unless I washed there every night before going to bed. She also told me that if I ate watermelon seeds that they would grow into full sized watermelons and she would have to harvest them with a knife. Needless to say I was terrified of this radical kind of surgery.
In order to keep me from eating too many jelly beans my father told me if I would plant them in the ground I could grow a jelly bean tree. I faithfully planted them whenever I got them and wondered why my "seeds" never grew.
When I was little, I hated spitting the seeds out from watermelon, so I just ate them. My mom once informed me that watermelon would grow in my stomach. When she was pregnant with my brother, I saw the sonogram and looked at her and said "Mom, you're not supposed to eat the seeds, remember? Now you have a watermelon in your tummy!"
I believed that if I ate watermelon seeds, watermelons would grow in my stomach and squeeze their way out of my belly button, so I tried inserting the seeds directly into my belly button instead of swallowing them. To my great disappointment I never grew any watermelons :(
Are you telling me that the seeds from the gorgeous tasting peppers (green, red, yellow and such) are not poisonous?... but...but... I've been carefully picking each and everyone out each time I make a stir-fry since I can remember. I'm 33 now.
It's probably best that I don't remember who told me they were bad for you, right?
when i was 4 or 5 i was at my grans house watching tv and eating an apple when my gran turned it over to a gardening program. in the program they were talking about seeds an how they grow i dropped the apple out of my hand an ran to my grandad crying saying that my gran wanted me to turn into a tree because she always told me to eat the pips!!!
When i was younger, i asked my dad what sesame seeds grew into. He said that planting one would make Sesame Street come to your house and film their next episode there, so i picked all of them off my burger and planted them.
My cousin and I thought if you swallowed a watermellon seed you'd grow a watermellon in your stomach. We paniced when we did swallow one because we remembered eating dirt a few weeks before and at 6 yrs. old were smart enough to know you plant seeds in dirt and water them - they grow!
I used to believe that if you ate a watermelon seed, a watermelon would grow inside you. I got this idea from a Rugrats cartoon where Chuckie swallowed a watermelon seed, and the other babies had to shrink and go inside him to stop it from growing. lol.
When we were younger, I told my little brother that if you planted a sesame seed from the top of a hamburger bunn, then a hamburger tree would grow. After a while I felt bad because he planted one in our back yard and would water it, thinking he was going to have a hamburger tree.
my mum used to tell me that eating kiewi fruits where extra good for you as I could actually see the vitamins. which i later realised were just the black pips.
I used to beleive, that if you swallowed a seed the food would grow in your body.
I used to believe that peanuts grow from the shells. I would bury mine in the backyard and water them diligently waiting for a peanut tree to sprout.
When I was little, me and two boys always ate watermelons. I ignored everyone that said that the seeds would grow in my stomach if I swallowed the seeds. I swallowed the seeds and when I went home that night, i felt something somewhat hard up my nose. I pulled it out and found that it was a watermelon seed. I ran crying to my mom until she finally convinced me that the seeds had not already started to grow in my nose...

Toronto Police Conduct 2nd Raid on Long-Running Dispensary - Americans for Safe AccessOur sister organization, Canadians for Safe Access (CSA), reports a second raid of Cannabis as Living Medicine (CALM), one of the most well-established medical cannabis dispensaries in Canada. Officers claimed they were responding to "community complaints" and seized a large quantity of medical grade cannabis and hashish. Today, the website indicates that the peer-run collective, which serves more than 3,000 Canadians who suffer serious and chronic illness, is temporarily closed. This unfortunate event is a reminder that Americans are not alone in our pursuit of safe and legal access. From their press release:
For Immediate Release: August 5, 2010 Police Raid of Medical Cannabis Dispensary Puts Patients at Risk Yesterday, Cannabis as Living Medicine (CALM), one of the most well- established medical cannabis dispensaries in Canada, was raided by police in Toronto for the second time in five months. In the last couple of months, a dispensary in Guelph, another in Iqaluit, and several in the province of Quebec were also raided. Canadians for Safe Access, a national patient advocacy organization, is denouncing these raids. The result is that thousands of Canadians suffering from MS, Cancer, HIV/AIDS, arthritis and other critical and chronic illnesses have lost an important source of their medicine, laments Rielle Capler, a researcher and co-founder of the organization. They will have to go to the streets or suffer without their medicine. Capler adds, Rather than leave these dispensaries vulnerable to police raids, CSA is calling on Health Canada to work with them to develop regulations that would ensure their protection as well as the highest quality of care for patients. Our government should be supporting patients to access the best possible medicine, and supporting the organizations that are providing this vital service." While the use of cannabis for medical purposes is constitutionally legal in Canada, the Federal Governments program, which provides licenses to patients for legal possession of cannabis, does not provide an adequate legal source of this medicine. Government statistics show that only about 800 of the 4000 licensed medical cannabis users access the governments supply, which is considered by many to be inferior. Research indicates that over half of license holders acquire their cannabis from dispensaries, which currently supply high quality medicine to an estimated 20,000 Canadians with critical and chronic medical conditions. Medical cannabis dispensaries, also know as compassion clubs, have played a vital role supplying safe access to cannabis for the critically and chronically ill in Canada for over 12 years. These organizations provide access to a variety of high quality cannabis strains and preparations that can effectively alleviate pain, muscle spasms, nausea, anxiety, and other serious symptoms. Compassion clubs are also at the forefront of academic peer-reviewed research on medical cannabis in Canada. Well-run dispensaries are appreciated by patients, accepted within communities, and their work has been lauded by various court rooms across the country. Media Contacts:

Dr. Andrew Weil Applauds New Documentary Film "What if Cannabis Cured Cancer" - Americans for Safe AccessA new documentary by Len Richmond, "What if Cannabis Cured Cancer," is starting to turn heads. Dr. Andrew Weil recently reviewed Richmond's film, calling it "excellent," and last week answered a question about medical cannabis on his web site.
[E]xciting new research suggests that the cannabinoids found in marijuana may have a primary role in cancer treatment and prevention. A number of studies have shown that these compounds can inhibit tumor growth in laboratory animal models. In part, this is achieved by inhibiting angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels that tumors need in order to grow. What's more, cannabinoids seem to kill tumor cells without affecting surrounding normal cells. If these findings hold true as research progresses, cannabinoids would demonstrate a huge advantage over conventional chemotherapy agents, which too often destroy normal cells as well as cancer cells.Though not referenced in Dr. Weil's answer, much of the recent investigation into inhibiting cancer growth using cannabis comes from Dr. Sean D. McAllister, of the California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco and medical cannabis researcher Jahan Marcu, who is also on the Medical & Scientific Advisory Board of Americans for Safe Access (ASA). Richmond's film is narrated by Emmy-winning actor Peter Coyote and has a host of medical cannabis experts, including Dr. McAllister, Dr. Donald Abrams, Professor of Clinical Medicine and Integrative Oncology at UCSF, Dr. Robert Melamede, University of Colorado Biology Chairman and ASA Advisory Board member, as well as researchers from Spain and Israel. Richmond's film asks:
Could the chemicals found in marijuana prevent and even heal several deadly cancers? Could the tumor-regulating properties of "cannabinoids" someday replace the debilitating drugs, chemotherapy, and radiation that harms as often as it heals?The film also includes a bonus comedy puppet short, "Kurt Cannabis Meets Connie Cancer," with the voices of Roseanne Barr and Malcolm McDowell. Drawing attention to the federal government's outdated position that "marijuana has no currently accepted medical use," Dr. Weil concluded in his review of Richmond's film:
If we need more evidence that our current policy on cannabis is counterproductive and foolish, here it is.Richmond's film will be screening at the Sausalito Film Festival on Sunday, August 15th, at 1:30 pm, followed by a panel discussion on cannabis and cancer with Richmond, Dr. Donald Abrams, Dr. Jeffery Hergenrather, Dr. Sean McAllister.

Victory for Veterans! - Americans for Safe AccessLate last week, ASA received word from Michael Krawitz, Executive Director of Veterans for Medical Cannabis Access , of a significant victory for veterans who utilize medical marijuana in the states that have adopted such laws. According to a letter to Mr. Krawitz from Robert A. Petzel, MD, Under Secretary for Health of the Department of Veterans Affairs, "If a Veteran obtains and uses medical marijuana in a manner consistent with state law, testing positive for marijuana would not preclude the Veteran from receiving opioids for pain management in a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) facility." THIS IS A VICTORY FOR VETERANS! ASA applauds the tenacity and hard work of Veterans for Medical Cannabis Access that led to this victory. Also, we extend our appreciation to the VA for providing some much needed clarity on this matter. If you're a vet and have encountered this issue, please print a copy of the letter and bring it with you on your next visit to your local VA clinic.

Stacy Ruling Requires Action for Truth - Americans for Safe AccessEarlier this week, U.S. District Court Judge Barry Ted Moskowitz denied a defense for James Stacy, a San Diego-area medical marijuana provider raided in September 2009 by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), just one month before the Department of Justice (DOJ) issued a new policy concerning medical marijuana enforcement. Tell your Member of Congress to support important legislation that would permit Truth in Trials!
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="432" caption="James Stacy with San Diego ASA "]
Despite the DOJ's new policy, medical marijuana patients and providers in states that have adopted medical marijuana laws are still vulnerable to federal arrest and prosecution. Worse yet, these patients and providers are denied the opportunity present evidence during federal court proceedings that might demonstrate medical need and/or compliance with state and local laws.
The denial of medical marijuana defenses in federal court has attracted the attention of some Members of Congress who are working to end this unfair practice. "Despite a new Justice Department policy on medical marijuana enforcement, James Stacy was still denied a defense in federal court," said Congressman Sam Farr (D-CA), author of HR3939, the Truth in Trials Act, legislation that would allow defendants like Stacy to use evidence of state law compliance in federal court. "The Truth in Trials Act would correct this aberration of justice and ensure that no one else will needlessly face years in prison without the means to defend themselves."
Now is the time for change! Please urge your Member of Congress to support this very important legislation.

CA Senate Committees Approve AB 2650 - Americans for Safe AccessTwo California Senate committees approved a bill this week that will require a 600-foot buffer zone between medical cannabis collectives and schools statewide. AB 2650 was approved by the Senate Health Committee and the Local Government Committee over the objection of Americans for Safe Access (ASA) and other medical cannabis advocates. However, ASA and allies can claim a victory in the bills march towards final approval by the Senate. The initial draft would have required a 1,000-foot buffer zone around a laundry list of sensitive uses. Pressure from the medical cannabis community forced the author, Assemblymember Joan Buchanan (D-Alamo), to retreat to the less onerous provision. AB 2650 is expected to win final approval in the Senate this session. Cities and counties can adopt smaller buffer zones before January 1, 2011, when the new legislation takes effect. Local governemnt retains the right to adopt larger buffer zones at any time. The bill is sponsored by the Peace Officers Research Association of California (PORAC), a law enforcement lobbyist group that opposes medical cannabis.

City Attorney Joins Vigil for LA Victims - Americans for Safe AccessLos Angeles City Attorney Carmen Trutanich was one of more than sixty people who gathered last night for a candlelight vigil for the victims of two violent attacks at medical cannabis collectives this week. Two people were killed and one was seriously injured in two separate incidents on Thursday. The tragedies occurred in the midst of ongoing controversy about the city's tough new medical cannabis ordinance. Trutanich told a reporter from West Coast Cannabis Magazine that he understood this was "not something [the victims] brought on themselves," and said the police department would not rest until the murderers were brought to justice. Trutanich's words are reassuring for patients and the victims' loved ones, who fear this human tragedy may be politicized by medical cannabis opponents in the often emotional debate about regulating safe access in Los Angeles. Fear of crime around medical cannabis facilities fueled efforts to adopt the state's toughest medical cannabis ordinance earlier this year, but Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck told City Councilmembers and the media that reports of increased crime around collectives did not bear out. Unfortunately, Thursday's tragedies differ little from similar crimes that occur at convenience stores, gas stations, or grocery stores in Los Angeles. These murders are not medical cannabis crimes. Trutanich is correct to keep the blame on the perpetrators, instead of the victims. His presence at last night's vigil and sensible comments speak volumes to patients and advocates, most of whom take issue with his adversarial posture towards medical cannabis. Americans for Safe Access (ASA) would like to commend the City Attorney on his presence, and extend our heart-felt sympathies to the families of the victims. We call on the Los Angeles Police Department and City Council to do everything in their power to bring the murderers to justice, and ask that anyone who can help in their arrest or prosecution cooperate fully in that effort.

ASA Rejects Unfair Taxes - No on SBX6 16 (CA) - Americans for Safe AccessUpdate June 23 - Sen. Calderon has withdrawn SBX6 16. Thanks to everyone who helped get this done! California Senator Ron Calderon (D-Montebello) wants to add a new tax medical cannabis in California. If adopted, SBX6 16 would tax legal medicine at the same rate as tobacco – forty one percent! ASA opposes this unreasonable burden on legal patients, who already pay sales tax on their medicine. Medical cannabis is expensive and usually not covered by insurance. ASA is calling on Senator Calderon's colleagues on the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee to reject SBX6 16 at a hearing on Wednesday, June 23. ASA appreciates the state's need for additional tax revenue during these tough economic times. A more reasonable approach would be to seek wider compliance with the Board of Equalization (BOE) ruling from October of 2005, which requires patients' collectives and cooperatives to pay sales tax at the normal rate. This could bring large sums of money into state coffers without creating additional economic hardships for sick and dying Californians who lawfully use medical cannabis. (ASA opposes the application of sales tax to medical cannabis, but supports compliance with the BOE ruling until the law changes.) Research conducted by ASA shows that regulating medical cannabis is beneficial for communities, and revenue issues should be a part of a comprehensive regulatory strategy. However, SBX6 16 is a premature effort. Revenue issues must be addressed along with other crucial issues – (1) inconsistencies in local policies on sales of cannabis, (2) clarity on the scope and nature of conduct permitted under the law, (3) licensing and legal protection for cannabis growers, and (4) protection for patients' civil rights. ASA is willing to work with lawmakers on sensible and comprehensive legislation in the future. Please join ASA in opposing SBX6 16 before Wednesday's hearing. You can contact members of the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee from the committee web page. Tell them to vote no on SBX6 16.

Troubling Trend of $1 Million Bails in Medical Marijuana Cases - Americans for Safe AccessA troubling trend of excessive bails in medical marijuana cases has begun to occur over the past month. The operators of a long-standing Santa Barbara dispensary, currently held on $1 million bail each, are the latest victims of this unprovoked attack on medical marijuana providers. On Friday, the Santa Barbara Police Department and Sheriff's Department raided HortiPharm, a medical marijuana dispensary operated by Joshua and Dayli Braun. Police also raided a restaurant owned by Dayli Braun, and several other locations, seizing large amounts of medical marijuana and growing equipment, and arresting a total of 7 people. According to reports received today by Americans for Safe Access, the District Attorney has issued a warrant for HortiPharm's bookkeeper and also intends to hold him on $1 million bail. Less than three weeks ago, on May 26th, a San Fernando Valley dispensary operator was held on $1 million bail after Sheriffs from Los Angeles and Ventura raided two of his distribution facilities and Ventura County home. Needless to say, holding people on $1 million bail is rare and typically reserved for people accused of seriously violent acts, not for those simply providing medicine to patients. In theory, we are supposed to be protected from unreasonable bail under the Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Arguably, the excessive bails we are seeing in recent medical marijuana cases are a violation of those rights. The Santa Barbara District Attorney's office claims that HortiPharm violated the terms of the Compassionate Use Act, but has failed to provide any evidence. And, do such claims even justify holding people on million dollar bails? Two recent acquittals of dispensary operators by jury trial in San Diego have shown that criminal prosecution may not be the best way to address the issue of medical marijuana distribution. Local officials in Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Ventura and elsewhere would do better to approach alleged local or state law violations with civil, not criminal, actions. Keeping people needlessly locked up using excessive bail is not the right approach for a public health issue like medical marijuana.

Calaveras Sheriff Brazenly Engages in Identity Theft to Entrap Medical Marijuana Provider - Americans for Safe AccessStooping to a new low, local law enforcement in California has resorted to identity theft in order to entrap, arrest and prosecute law-abiding medical marijuana providers. The Calaveras County Sheriff's Department has admitted to using the physician's recommendation and identity of legal medical marijuana patient Robert Shaffer in order to entrap and arrest Jay Smith, operator of the local "K Care Alternative Collective" dispensary. The Sheriff's Department was in possession of Shaffer's documentation as a result of an unrelated arrest. Despite complying with state law by refusing to sell Deputy Sheriff Steve Avila any medical marijuana before verifying the recommendation that he fraudulently used, Smith is still being prosecuted for felony marijuana sales and transportation. Surprisingly, at a recent hearing, Calaveras County Superior Court Judge Douglas Mewhinney overlooked Smith's compliance with the law and said there was sufficient evidence for the case to proceed to trial. Shaffer's physician, Dr. Philip A. Denney of Carmichael, verified that Shaffer was indeed a patient when K Care contacted Dr. Denney's office after Deputy Avila deceptively used Shaffer's valid medical marijuana recommendation. Dr. Denney, upset that his patient, Robert Shaffer, did not authorize such use of his medical records, told The Record that the investigation against Smith "smacks of entrapment and sleaziness."
Dr. Philip Denney: The prosecution of Smith "smacks of entrapment and sleaziness."Calaveras Sheriff Dennis Downum defended the actions of Deputy Avila, but seemed confused about the letter of the law. In an appearance before the Calaveras Board of Supervisors, Sheriff Downum claimed erroneously that, "to provide medical marijuana to someone, there has to be a caregiver relationship." In fact, if Sheriff Downum had brushed up on the law, he would have realized that for Smith to be in compliance with state law, he must operate as a collective or cooperative, not as a "caregiver." While Sheriff Downum has no excuse to be ignorant of the law he's upheld to enforce, Calaveras District Attorney Jeff Tuttle has no excuse to falsely prosecute Smith based on the same flawed interpretation of state law. In an interview with the Calaveras Enterprise, Tuttle echoed Sheriff Downum and said that his "understanding of the law is that…you have to be a primary caregiver to provide [patients] with marijuana." In response to accusations of impropriety, District Attorney Tuttle said:
Law enforcement officers and investigations are allowed to do many things that as citizens we would be penalized criminally for, but the reason they are is that they are doing it as part of an investigation. They can mislead people, they can lie they can try to trick people.Smith's attorney, Ean Vizzi, called Tuttle's assertions "absolutely incorrect," not knowing whether Tuttle was just "mistaken or [if] he's purposefully ignoring the law." Sheriff Downum and Distriact Attorney Tuttle should not be let off the hook so easily. At best, they have seriously misinterpreted California's medical marijuana law, and at worst the Sheriff could be responsible for "investigatorial misconduct" against Smith and Shaffer. If it's determined that the Sheriff's Department has violated any ethical or legal standards by assuming Shaffer's identity to entrap Smith, the case against Smith should be promptly dismissed and Sheriff Downum should have to face the legal consequences.

In 1471, around the time the copper ball was placed atop the Duomo, Verrochio & Co. was involved, as were most of the other artisans of Florence, in the festivities organized by Lorenzo de' Medici for the visit of Galeazzo Maria Sforza, the cruel and authoritarian (and soon-to-be assassinated) Duke of Milan….Verrochio's shop had two major tasks for the festivities: redecorating the Medici's guest quarters for the visitors and crafting a suit of armor and an ornate helmet as a gift.
The Duke of Milan's cavalcade was dazzling even to the Florentines who were used to Medicean public spectacles. It included two thousand horses, six hundred soldiers, a thousand hunting hounds, falcons, falconers, trumpeters, pipers, barbers, dog trainers, musicians, and poets. It's hard not to admire an entourage that travels with its own barbers and poets.

Tips To Finding The Best Landscaping Company
The very first thing that you ought to know about landscaping company is the fact that they are very hard to find nowadays. It is very difficult to find the right landscaping company today since they are very many in the market. When you are choosing the right landscaping company, you could even get confused since they are very many in the market. All landscaping companies are not the same. While looking for the best landscaping company, you should understand that some of them could appear to be beautiful from the outside but then you should only dig deeper to know if you could hire them. Whether you have hired a landscaping company over and over again or you are doing it for the very first time, you should ensure that you are very careful. The following article seeks to educate people on the factors that they should consider so as to find the right landscaping company.
If you want to hire the kind of landscaping company that is best at what it does then you should consider hiring the kind of company that is very experienced at landscaping. While at this you should be aware of the fact that it is not technical to find the kind of landscaping company that is very experienced. In order for you to find the kind of landscaping company that is more experienced, you should only look for the company that has been in business for the longest time possible than most landscaping companies. Always have in mind that when it comes to landscaping, experience is considered to be very vital. A landscaping company that has been more than able to stand the test of time simply means that they are very reliable.
Secondly, make sure that you do your homework appropriately. It is very vital for one to research well in order to find the top most landscaping company. Researching is not something so difficult. One is entirely advised to begin their research from the online platforms. The reason as to why the online platforms are considered to be the best place that one could research from is because they do provide people with a variety of landscaping companies to select from. The other reason that makes the internet the best tool of research when it comes to landscaping matters is the reviews from different clients or customers who posted of their experiences with the landscaping companies that you would come across in the internet.
Eventually, look into the insurance of that landscaping company. Insurance is also very important because it means that whenever an accident occurs when the people will be looking into lawn, their insurance cover will compensate for everything. When you hire the kind of landscaping company that is not insured, you will be responsible for the accidents and pay for everything spoilt.

Statement of Intent
At St. Joseph's we are in the process of gaining our Arts Mark Award in recognition of our ongoing achievements. We believe the arts are a fundamental part of a rich curriculum and intend to carry on giving children quality experiences in and out of the classroom impacting greatly upon the standards of attainment achieved and helping children to develop as confident, articulate, resilient young people. The arts provide children with the opportunities to develop their creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving and other important life skills, by allowing them to express themselves in a variety of ways and giving all children their chance to shine.
Over the past few years we have invested in ensuring all children are exposed to a rich and varied range of art experiences as we feel that this is vital to the well-being of our pupils. The arts provide our children with a variety of engaging and exciting opportunities that enable them to develop positively in their learning, both academically as well as socially, emotionally and culturally. We aim to ensure all children are resilient, take risks, learn from mistakes and develop passions that they will take with them into adulthood. It is our intention to continue providing the high quality of arts provision through Cornerstones and that our children enjoy and endeavour to make an impact on all children's learning throughout the curriculum via the arts.
By using Cornerstones curriculum we can ensure high quality teaching and progression is consistent across the school.
A Forest School has been created within the school grounds giving children the opportunity to build dens, make fires, toast marshmallows, whittle sticks, create art from nature and get to know their peers in different surroundings and under different circumstances.
We intend to celebrate our long-term commitment to cultural education with pupils, parents and the local community.

Secretary of the HCMC Party Committee Dinh La Thang led a city party mission to visit farmers in Can Gio district and discuss ways out of poverty and getting rich on December 25.
|Secretary Dinh La Thang (blue short sleeve shirt) visits a shrimp farm in Can Gio district, HCMC on December 25 (Photo: SGGP)
Chairman of the district People's Committee Le Minh Dung reported that Can Gio has 2,673 seafood farming households with the total area of 8,000 hectares of shrimps, oysters and fish.
Besides, there are 727 salt making households over 1,671 hectares. In 2016, the district produced 140,000 tons of salt, up 5 percent over 2015. However a kilogram was priced as low as VND300-500 while the cost of production averaged VND613 a kilogram.
The district has determined to reduce salt making area to 600 hectares by 2020 and transfer the remaining of 1,000 hectares into seafood farming and non-agricultural jobs.
Answering the secretary's question whether farmers should continue the unprofitable salt making, farmer Tran Minh Hoa said that they should still maintain the job because seafood farming had been risky. When diseases broke out and damaged fish and shrimp crops, farmers had no more choice than salt fields.
Farmers are in the dire need of capital to covert from salt into seafood and technical assistances to cope with diseases, said Mr.Hoa, one of 15 good farmers, who is invited to the Cultural Center in Ly Nhon commune to directly talk to city leaders.
Local farmers have highly benefited by shrimp farming with the profit of VND140 million ($6,166) a crop. Despite this, the job has required large investment capital and been risky with diseases threatening to make breeders moneyless.
Pointing out the high ratio of 52 percent households in and near the poverty line and affirming inefficient salt making, secretary Dinh La Thang asked Can Gio district to change its economic structure, saying it was a necessary work and the responsibility of the city and the district.
Instead of focusing on salt making, the district should change economic structure to promote its advantage of locating in the country's largest city by developing goods production for 10 million citizens and tourism.
Among the 15 good farmers, 76 year old Nguyen Van Banh proposed the city to handle wastewater which has run down from the center of the city to Can Gio district and killed local fish and shrimp.
According to standing deputy secretary of the city Party Committee Tat Thanh Cang, HCMC has been able to treat 13 percent of two million cubic meters of household wastewater discharged a day. He required the city People's Committee to quickly settle the issue of untreated wastewater to prevent it from damaging Can Gio shrimp and fish breeders.
Farmer Tran Minh Hoa proposed to separate irrigation water supply and drainage systems to prevent diseases from spreading from one to other farms.
Farmer Nguyen Hoang Bao said sometimes shrimp farming was unprofitable in Binh Khanh commune but advantageous in Ly Nhon commune and vice versa. So he suggested the district to draw a map showing the salinity at different areas in Can Gio district during a certain period of time. This will help local citizens choose suitable crop to farm.
Especially, the district should have a shrimp diseases testing machine because farmers now have to transport their shrimp to the center area of the city for testing and wait 3-5 days to get results. The long process has slowed medicine delivery from medical workers causing heavy damage to farmers, he said.
Agreeing with the proposal by Mr. Bao, secretary Dinh La Thang requested agencies and Can Gio to build a hydrographic and saline database so that farmers can have scientific production plans.
Deputy secretary Tat Thanh Cang said that the coordination between the district and authorized agencies had been neither tight nor synchronous to assist farmers.
|Mr. Thang (L) learns about dua fish at a cooperative in Can Gio district on December 15 (Photo: SGGP)
The city has given the district authority to approve projects with the investment capital of less than VND5 billion however this policy has yet to reach farmer, said Mr. Cang.
Secretary Dinh La Thang said that the city's government must take charge of agricultural development, electricity supply, water drainage and consumption market. It should not let farmers to both produce and seek market and build brand names themselves.
According to him, dua fish (Pangasius kunyit) is a well-known specialty of Can Gio but the product has not had a brand name or been shelved in large supermarkets. He said it is a waste.
It was unacceptable that the city Department of Industry and Trade has no knowledge of the market share of dua fish and blames the district for not making a report, Mr. Thang said. He asked authorized agencies not to stay at their offices and wait for reports about things that citizens need.
He required agencies to take action to reduce the poverty ratio of 52 percent in Can Gio, help farmers build brand names and take dua fish as well as other specialties in the district to the modern distribution system of the city.
Can Gio district should diversify their farming products and coordinate with agencies to develop tourism, he said.

California… the land of strip malls, white sand beaches, and celebrity sightings… or so you thought.
Among skiers and snowboarders, California, and the Tahoe region in particular, is the one of the world's premier winter sports destinations. The heavy snowpack is colloquially known as "Sierra Cement," and it provides for comparatively stable snow (depending on conditions). Combine that with a variety of expert terrain, friendly beginning slopes, easy access to the backcountry from major roads, and you have a skier's and splitboarder's dream come true.
The depth of options throughout the Tahoe region is a huge draw for this area, as well. From South Lake Tahoe all the way to Donner Summit, this region offers a ton of winter backcountry routes. Before going out, be sure to educate yourself on avalanche safety (we highly recommend taking an Avalanche 1 class through AIARE) and checking the avalanche forecast. The Sierra Avalanche Center is a comprehensive and complete resource--there's no reason to get caught out in sketchy terrain if you learn how to use this tool properly.
Here's a basic rundown of popular backcountry tours in the different areas within Tahoe and a couple popular options for each.
Donner Lake and Donner Summit
West Shore and Desolation Wilderness
Mount Rose
Carson Pass and South Lake
Winter backcountry adventures can be dangerous outdoor activities that pose significant risks as conditions affecting safety (i.e. weather, snowpack stability, avalanche hazard) are constantly changing. Prior to engaging in these activities each individual should get the proper training to make safe decisions and be equipped to use avalanche safety resources and tools. Please visit our Backcountry Skiing and Avalanche Safety post to learn more.

Dear Friends of Hancock County,
Having just officially passed the date of one full month on the job as the Hancock County Economic Development Executive Director, I have to say it has been exciting! I have been so honored to have met and developed relationships, connections, and friendships with people from all walks of life in the HCED community. I look forward to continuing to strengthen these bonds in order to Grow Hancock County in positive ways by joining with each of you in inviting industry and small businesses alike to make our county their home.
By welcoming families to buy homes in our communities, attend our schools and churches and frequent our businesses, we will see the positive changes we seek. In addition, we must continue to make Hancock County a vacation and tourism mecca for tens of thousands of visitors from all over the world each year! Agriculture and tourism are our top two economic drivers in Hancock County and we must support, encourage and respect the people and cultures that make these possible.
I am very hopeful that by working together and taking positive steps towards the future, we will be able to all one day very soon see the Hancock County that we envision in our dreams: a community of economic prosperity, and excellence in all metrics of education, infrastructure, and leadership. The key to that, however, is maintaining positive goals and focus and continuing the traditions of Western Illinois excellence, which truly make the Hancock County, Illinois, area such a wonderful and unique place.
By utilizing our unique history, cultural landmarks, and our agricultural and transportation niches as building blocks, we can succeed at making the dream we all share of watching Hancock County thrive a reality. We as individuals and as communities have strengths and weaknesses. By working together we will minimize our weaknesses and, in turn, use the diversity of our strengths and uniqueness to reach our common goals.

Do you know that when Lord Ram returned to his last penance while returning from Lanka after the Ravana slaughter? If we do not know, then we are giving you this information as well as taking a trip to that place. Lord Ram had done his last ascension in Devprayag. This beautiful place is in Uttarakhand which is known as the famous pilgrimage place. Devprayag is situated at the confluence of the Alaknanda-Bhagirathi river. It is said that Devprayag is one of the Panch Prayags of Godland Uttarakhand. It is believed that when King Bhagirath celebrated the Ganga to descend on the earth, 33 crore Goddesses along with the Ganga also descended from heaven to Devprayag. This is the place where there is a confluence of the Bhagirathi and the Alaknanda river.
Devprayag is at an altitude of 830 meters above sea level. Devprayag distance from Rishikesh is just 70 kilometers away. It is also said that in Devprayag, Muni Devsharma had done austerity of Lord Vishnu and God had given him a boon that the name of this place will be kept on his name in time.
According to legendary belief, Lord Rama had done his last penance in Devprayag. Lord Rama had done penance here while returning from Lanka after victory. It is believed that Lord Rama had done penance in Devprayag for getting rid of the sins of Brahmin slaughter (Ravana slaughter). They had austerity sitting here on a rock. Here the rock is still present.
There is also the cave of Hanuman ji in Devprayag itself near the temple of Mother Ganga. There is a belief about this cave that Lord Hanuman, Lord Rama's bhakt, also came here. There are huge devotees in Devprayag. It is a very beautiful place where the beautiful and tranquil atmosphere makes it easy for the devotees and tourists.
Laxmanji had done the last penance, Now the most famous for Trekking
In the Rigveda, Uttarakhand has been described as Devbhoomi. This sacred land has been called the complete karmic land of the minds. Do you know that Srimada purushwattam is also associated with Uttarakhand, Lord Laxman Ji, the younger brother of Lord Rama. Laxman ji did his last ascension in the land of Uttarakhand only.
Laxman ji did his last penance in Garhwal of Uttarakhand. It is believed that Lakshman ji did his last penance in Tapovan, which is in Tehri Garhwal.

Volkswagen Beetles finish production as a dozen Orange owners say goodbye
Bill Parianos loves Beetles, specifically Volkswagen Beetles.
He learned to drive in one, which also became his very first car as he fell in love with their distinctive shape, the way they drove, and their character.
Mr Parianos now owns three of the vehicles, two dating from 1961 - one of which he's done extensive work on to ensure he can use it as his everyday car - and a pristine 1956 Beetle which had only 46,000km on the odometer he purchased in Pennant Hills.
There are some 20 or 30 of the cars owned in and around Orange - some in storage and some undergoing restoration - but the community of drivers were saddened this week as the final Beetle rolled off the production line on Wednesday.
"Everyone has a story about beetles ... every time I fill it up with petrol I get someone coming over. Everyone has a family member or friend who's had one," Mr Parianos said.
"Beetle owners band together and there's a genuine friendship, there are a couple of us in the Central West."
However, he wasn't overly surprised Beetles had reached the end of the line, seven decades on from being produced in Germany in the 1930s, with the car becoming a pop culture icon as well as a beloved vehicle.
"The steering column could go through your chest if you crash, the fuel tank sits above your lap and the engine's in the back, you drive a beetle with respect," he said.

The European Tour, the Turkish Golf Federation and International Sports Management have announced the inaugural Turkish Open as the penultimate event on the 2013 European Tour schedule.
The 78-man tournament will precede the season-ending DP World Tour Championship and take place from November 7-10 at the Montgomerie Maxx Royal in Belek, Antayla.
The $7 million event will be fully sanctioned by the European Tour over the coming three years, with details on tournament eligibility to be announced at a later stage.
The announcement was made by European Tour Chief Operating Officer Keith Waters during the Turkish Airlines World Golf Final, an eight-man medal matchplay tournament featuring Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.
"We would like to thank the Turkish Golf Federation and International Sports Management for their co-operation in delivering this new event," he said.
"Turkey is one of the fastest developing golf nations in the world and the Turkish Open will further enhance the country's golfing credentials."
Ahmet Ali Agaoglu, President of the Turkish Golf Federation, said: "I am very honoured to make this announcement and be able to bring a top-class European Tour event to Turkey.
"We believe Turkey is the best golfing destination in Europe and one that deserves such a world class event."
The Montgomerie Maxx Royal – a par-72, 6484 meter golf course – was designed by 2010 Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie, in conjunction with European Golf Design, and opened in 2008.
Andrew 'Chubby' Chandler, Managing Director of International Sports Management, added: "This is just a great move for Turkey, and to be able to announce a three-year deal for a $7 million tournament is a very rare thing these days."

With the increasing levels of globalization, many companies are currently looking forward ro outsource wide varieties of business activities to other companies. The tasks that are mainly outsourced are basically non-core business activities and the companies to which these tasks are outsourced are generally skilled in these tasks. As a result, it helps both the companies, as a whole. Among the different aspects of business that are outsourced, software development is one of them. Software Application Outsourcing is done by those companies that consider it as a supporting activity and not a main business activity. The companies to which these tasks are outsourced generally have talented and skilled developers to carry out the entire task, as per the requirements.
Most Popular Area Of Outsourcing:
It has been recognized that development of different kinds of software is one of the most important areas of outsourcing. Moreover, it has also been recognized that today outsourcing is more a necessity because the operational costs can be largely reduced with outsourcing without compromising on the quality at all. The companies that carry out the task of development also benefit in terms of businesses. Though there are some risks associated with outsourcing, yet the benefits far outweigh the risks.
Some Of The Major Benefits:
When your company successfully finds a company to outsource the task of software development, you can be assured that you will benefit in wide varieties of ways.
The most important benefit that you will find in this case is that the operational costs will reduce which in turn will result in greater and better cash flow and efficient use of resources. Apart from that, the initial investment for software development is also minimal and you will not have to worry about hiring an entire team. You will just outsource the work and you will get access to high quality and skilled resources.
The risk factor associated with Software Application Outsourcing is also minimized to a great extent, and you can expect to get great quality of work. There are many companies that have pre-built software modules, so that the software can be built quite easily and rapidly, as per your needs. As a result, with the speedy development of your software, you can benefit from it to a great extent. This is the reason why outsourcing is considered to be the most cost-effective and latest trend of the industries and business organizations today.

Denver CO. 80209 MLS 2299649 / Porchlight Real Estate Group Data provided by REColorado
I love helping people find the home of their dreams or sell their home so they can move to a new stage of their life. I worked as a manager in corporate America for 28 years and after that I wanted to do something that contributed to the happiness and well-being of people and not just the bottom line of a corporation.
I became an agent in 2002 and after all these years, I'm always eager to start a new day. There is only one thing I love more than working and that is being with my family. This is a perfect job for a work-a-holic! Every transaction is different with unique challenges and rewards and I thrive on knowing I can make a difference!
"Our realtor, Peggy Chervenak, is someone we've worked with for multiple transactions over 10+ years, and she is always an exceptional resource. Her diligent efforts on our behalf, both as buyers and as sellers, are very valuable to us. Our experience with PorchLight was great and I am happy to recommend them highly. From the detailed process they follow throughout the listing process, including complimentary staging ideas and light cleaning, through to the closing of the transaction, we were kept well informed and were confident that everything was being handled.
I can't recommend Peggy, and PorchLight, more highly for anyone in the market to sell or purchase a home in the current Denver market."
Dori M
"In Denver's active and highly competitive market, a seasoned real estate broker is what you need. I found Peggy Chervenak to be everything I needed to keep my deal on the rails through some challenges all the way to a smooth closing. She is smart and kind, responsive and efficient, knowledgeable and prompt, upbeat and professional. That she is a lifelong Denver resident can't hurt either. Today's market requires agility, tools and doggedness and for these reasons, I wholeheartedly recommend you use Peggy Chervenak for all of your real estate buying adventures. She will reward you with a job well done! Thank you Peggy; you'll get all of my referrals."
Carol G.
Buyer in Littleton, CO
"Peggy was highly recommended by the property manager who was managing my rental property. He works with a lot of realtors so I knew he'd recommend the best. First, Porchlight's process is seamless. Every detail is well thought out and communicated! Peggy gave me honest feedback and no false hopes. She worked hard to sell my home like it was her priority. From my first call up until closing, Peggy was responsive. Professional, ethical and dedicated, I trustfully recommend Peggy Chervenak."
Christine Garcia
"I cannot recommend Peggy Chervenak's services enough. I moved to Denver from the northeast and had a small window of time to come out and find my perfect home. While I found the task daunting, Peggy made herself completely available to me and came extremely well prepared with a list of neighborhoods and properties that met my expectations, as well as my pie-in-the-sky hopes for a new home. Along with her professional and expert advice, Peggy's special insight and attention to detail made the entire experience enjoyable, educational and a lot of fun! She had no ulterior motive, making me feel extremely comfortable to tell her exactly how I felt about each property. I felt that I had a real expert right by my side, and within days we found exactly what I had imagined for my family. I'm over the moon about my new home. Peggy is a straight shooter, extremely knowledgeable, and dedicated to her clients. Thank you Peggy!"
Dee S.
"Peggy Chervenak is an amazing professional, experienced and responsive to our relocation needs. She helped us narrow our search and we found the best home, with views of the mountains and close to our Colorado family. She has our highest rating."
Mary Anne M.

As an economist at the Bank of England, Oliver Burrows wants to make policy decisions about financial stability based on data and data sets that reflect today's financial environment. However, given the nature of the current regulatory reporting framework, it can take as long as three years to get hold of the right data, by which time the world will have moved on.
Each time a regulatory policy is issued that requires new or amended regulatory reports, the following actions all have to be taken:
- Changing a particular report and rule in the handbook to ensure the data is included within regulatory obligations
- Agreeing with the industry the precise definition of the data elements required for regulatory reporting
- Sourcing new or amended data items and changing regulatory reporting systems to meet the new requirements
- Submitting the new or amended reports so that the data finally shows up in the FCA's reporting system, GABRIEL
This combination of actions is why a seemingly simple request for data from the regulator can take multiple years and cost a huge amount of money to finally make it onto Oliver's desk.
As mentioned in our July Regulatory news – the Digital Regulatory Reporting (DRr for short) pilot is a cross-industry working group seeking technology solutions to change and fix some of these problems. The industry group comprises teams of people from Santander, Lloyds, Barclays, Nationwide, Credit Suisse and RBS/Natwest. As always the group has a diversity of organizational and individual views, but according to those who are familiar with the project, it is currently making good progress. (See terms of reference here)
The pilot's objective is to produce a prototype system that automates the end-to-end process of two separate regulatory reports – one retail and one wholesale. The first is part of the PSD001 report that the FCA requires under Chapter 16 of their handbook and the pilot of focussing on the regulatory requirement to report loan to income ratios, a topic which the FCA wrote about in its December 2017 bulletin. The second is part of the Prudential Regulation Authority's rule book, as required by the EU COREP (Core Reporting) regime, specifically the reporting of the Common Equity Tier 1 ratio (CRR CET).
Various workstreams have been set up under the project, and whilst much of the focus remains on technology, there are many other aspects to consider such as:
- Policy and rule making – e.g. how can natural language rules be disambiguated without changing the meaning of the regulation?
- Architecture – how can a solution be designed which enables compliance checks whilst at the same time reducing the volume of data submitted to regulators?
- Data Strategy – can APIs be used in smart ways to collect data from financial institutions?
- Operating model – what capability and services would be needed to productionise the results of the pilot and how this would be governed?
- Implementation impact to regulated firms – what challenges will the pilot solution pose for data sourcing and systems in financial institutions?
It is clear that financial institutions and regulators share many of the same pain points with regards to regulatory reporting and by working in such a collaborative and open manner, the DRr pilot promises to build on the previous Techsprint and move the industry forwards to a more streamlined and automated regulatory reporting process. Whilst it is likely to take several years before the full benefits of this project are realised, continued support from policy-makers, budget-holders and politicians should enable this initial level of momentum to be maintained.

Conditions InDepth: Brain Tumors

A tumor is an abnormal growth of cells. Normally, cells divide in a regulated manner. If cells keep dividing when new cells are not needed, a mass of tissue forms; this is called a tumor. There are two types of tumors: benign and malignant. Benign tumors stay in one place, grow to a certain size, and then generally stop. Malignant tumors do not stop growing, and pieces of them travel to other parts of the body, where they also continue to grow.
Malignant tumors, called cancers, can be fatal if not treated. The ability to cure a cancer depends upon patient and tumor-related features. Patient-related features include:
- Age
- Performance status
- Overall health
- Willingness to undergo treatment
Tumor-related features include:
- Type of cancer
- Site of the origin of the cancer
- How advanced the disease is when it is detected
- Tumor's response to therapy
Brain Tumor
Types of brain tumors include:
These are tumors which start in the brain or its coverings (meninges).
Metastatic: These begin in an organ other than the brain, and they travel to the brain usually through the blood. They are metastatic cancers. The word "metastatic" refers to colonies of the primary tumor that have taken up residence outside their organ of origin.
Meningiomas are typically benign, but because they grow inside the confined space of the meninges (the skin covering the brain tissue itself), they can cause symptoms. In this sense, they are not "benign" at all. Benign or typical meningiomas do not extend beyond the brain and, if they are found incidentally, they are generally left alone. If meningiomas are located in an area where symptoms develop, they require treatment. Less commonly, this form can be malignant, or anaplastic. These tumors can actually spread outside the brain or may grow very quickly within the brain. Malignant meningiomas almost always cause symptoms and need to be addressed with therapies.
Astrocytoma is a malignant, or cancerous, type of brain tumor. This type of tumor resembles the small, star-shaped cells in the brain called astrocytes. Astrocytes are one of several types of supporting cells in the brain called glial cells. Therefore, an astrocytoma is a type of glioma.
Astrocytoma is the most common form of glioma and may occur anywhere in the brain. However, it is most commonly found in the cerebrum in adults and in the cerebellum in children.
Oligodendrogliomas are another type of glioma. They are often slower growing than astrocytomas.
Special tumors, such as pituitary adenomas, neuromas, spinal cord tumors, and hydatid cysts, are not covered in this report.
Primary brain tumors are the second most common cancer in children and young adults, second only to leukemia. They are the third most common cancer in people between the ages of 15 and 34, fourth between the ages of 35 to 54, and much less common in older adults, where metastatic tumors predominate. Gliomas are the most common group of primary brain tumors in adults.
Ionizing radiation and several hereditary diseases are the only known risk factors for developing brain tumors. The cause of the majority of primary brain cancers is unknown. Viruses and environmental factors may play a role. Although there has been a theory that electromagnetic radiation from power lines or cell phones increases the likelihood of brain tumor development, this has not been proven in any scientific investigation. The causes of secondary brain cancers are those that caused the malignancy at the site of origin (eg, lung or breast).
