Regulations implementing Property Acquisition and Relocation for Open Space are codified at 44 CFR part 80. These regulations govern property acquisitions for the creation of open space under all of FEMA mitigation grant programs authorized under both the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 5121-5207, and the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq. Acquisition and relocation of property for open space use is one of the most common mitigation activities and is an eligible activity type authorized for Federal grant funds under all of FEMA mitigation grant programs. FEMA mitigation grant programs require all properties acquired with FEMA funds to be deed restricted and maintained as open space in perpetuity. This ensures that no future risks from hazards occur to life or structures on that property, and no future disaster assistance or insurance payments are made as a result of damages to that property. This extension of a currently approved collection of information is necessary to establish uniform requirements for State and local implementation of acquisition activities, and to enforce open space maintenance and monitoring requirements for properties acquired with FEMA mitigation grant funds.

For a few weeks now I've been building up to this NaNo thing, right? Telling you all about my prep or lack thereof – in lurid and exaggerated detail and all that stuff. I'm sure it was very amusing and stuff. But all that fun aside it is now upon us. Bam. Just like that. Did i panic? Did i lose my marbles and go screaming into the night? Did I hide under the covers? Nay! I did not. I stood tall and proud and joined the fray like a true damned hero.
Okay. So I may have peed my pants just a little.
NaNo launched at Midnight last thursday. If you were up at that hour you probably felt the furious tapping of hundreds of thousands of keyboards all over the world. It probably sounded like a herd of pygmy goats. I was up. One of those little tappings was my own. Mine. My precious. I did 2000 words that first night which is off to a pretty nifty start if i do say so myself. And yes i did panic just a wee bit in the small hours before kickoff. I got that little nervous jitter in my chest that niggled at me and filled me with self-doubt. But then it started and it was all like "you got this?" and the steely eyed missile man inside glared down and said in his best Clint Eastwood impression: "Yeah. I got this."
Three days later and I've crested the 10,000 mark and things are still going strong. I think. Honestly, I wouldn't know as I'm terrified of looking back at what I've already written. It feels like its working pretty well but almost immediately something popped up in the story that I didn't expect: Meg sorta fell for the Los Angeles Cop she met in the opening chapter. It had been in my mind that that might happen, but I figured 'it's Meg, we're talking about. The chances of that are fairly slim.' and then it happened. That's characters for you. You never can quite tell what they're going to do until they do it and Meg is particularly that way. I love her a lot but it's a ride writing her. Most of the time i just feel like I'm following along.
And once again I'm struck with what a weird magical mystery writing is and that's what NaNo is really all about in my opinion. If there is one thing I want all NaNo participants to find it's that word count doesn't matter. Yeah, it's great to have goals. It's a moment of great joy when you hit that 50,000 and kick on the Queen and go strutting around your minuscule monastic cell but that's secondary to all the moments in between. LIke everything else in life the journey is the destination. Don't forget the little things. Like when you're just writing along, grinding away and suddenly the giant puzzle pieces drop out of the sky and fill the landscape and you have that first gasp that everything might actually work out. Or that moment when you suddenly see your scene so well that you can hear the seagulls in the air and feel the breeze. You might not be able to write it but you know it and you know it's there when you need it.
Those are the great moments. That's why this is a blast and why NaNo is so cool. Not everyone is going to have those moments. You can't engineer or create them. They just happen. You can read every pro writer tip out there and soak in hundreds of hours worth of boring lectures and never have that moment. But then one day you'll be writing along – maybe in the middle of a word sprint and BAM! Like you just ran into something with your face and liked it.
I've been hearing an awful lot lately about how hard writing is and how you need to respect it and how it's hard work and it will twist you into knots and no true writer can say they are a true writer until they learn to hate it just a little. Personally I think that's bullshit. You've caught someone trying to make themselves sound more respectable because 'who doesn't hate their job a little every now and then? I'd be an asshole if I said the truth – that this is the only damned thing I have ever wanted to do and when it's working its like angels singing.' Are there rough times? Sure. But whatever.
Let's put it this way: I remember the playgrounds of my youth. I remember transforming a pile of old tires into a tank, or a horse out on the open plain, the swings were like flying, that weird collection of splintery beams and chains was a pirate ship, or the back of a dragon. I remember nothing being what it was. Everything changed dramatically with the power of invention and imagination. Writing is the playground. A piece of paper or a blank screen turning into forests, space dragons, the Santa Monica Pier, the bridge of a starship. It's the place where your own personal memory meets the kid in the adult – your imagination makes alchemy happen and it's magic. But in order to let that magic happen, in order for NaNo to really live up to its full potential – you need to get that ego out of the way and just learn to surf the resurgent wave that is that resurrected little kid fighting it's way back into the adult.
Anyway. That's Day three of Nano. Now i'm heading back at it. Rig and Meg are about to interview an elderly criminal. This is going to be fun.
Post Script – Last week i wrote a teleplay involving Castle working through NaNo while trying to solve a case. As soon as i figure out a way to share it here i will. In the mean time, drop a line and ask about it or share ideas on how i might be able to share it. Cuz i've got nothing.

General Information
All players and parents are required to cover the costs and details of their own travel expenses and arrangements.
Team Detroit secures hotel(s) for our coaching staff (where Team Detroit athletes are recommended to stay for each tournament). A lot of consideration goes into choosing the hotels where we stay. We will book hotels with a reasonable rate, free parking and continental breakfast whenever possible. Since some of the convention centers are located in the heart of larger metropolitan areas, the closer to downtown a hotel is, usually means a higher cost and charges for parking. Some people like the convenience of being able to walk to the tournament, while others would prefer to stay outside of the city for a cheaper option. When necessary, we will provide both options to our families. At tournaments with multiple playing locations, athletes will also have more than one hotel location from which to choose. Parents are free to reserve hotels that suit their family. However, your coach may hold team meetings at the team/club hotel. Please be prepared to attend these meetings. Questions contact Paige.

High Performance Diesel Engines
The Big Cam IV engines are great to work with, especially the later 88 NT's. The only problem these engines have is the low flow cooling system. They can easily overheat in demanding situations, particularly in the summer heat.
Peter Sharp, Vice President of Pittsburgh Power, has been working with the Big Cam Cummins for over 30 years. He highly recommends that you revert the low flow system back to the high flow system used on all Small Cam and Big Cam I, II, and III engines. We at Pittsburgh Power can convert the low flow cooling system back to full flow. If you have an early Big Cam IC this can be done with used parts off a Big Cam II or III and a new radiator or water pump.
If you have the new Big Cam IV or 88 NT, you will have to also buy a new front water manifold section and thermostat housing. If your radiator core is good and you know a competent radiator shop, they should be able to reuse your core and install new tanks and save you some money. We will ensure you have all the parts needed to convert your low flow engine to full flow.
Regardless of the horsepower output of the engine, the high-flow system that Cummins used through 1985 worked superbly. We never experienced high water temperature so long as the radiator, water pump, and radiator cap were functioning properly. Pittsburgh Power has the complete kit available.

Speaking of the Cummins Big Cam and vintage trucks… This week we had an owner-operator in the shop with his Kenworth W900. It was a long wheelbase, big sleeper version with a vintage paint scheme that would have been popular in the 1970's. Glossy black with orange and maroon stripes stretch the length of the cab. We rarely see these paint schemes anymore. The owner-operator told me that him and his wife hand-picked the colors themselves because they wanted a new truck with a vintage look. Most of us in the shop agreed, it's a timeless and classy look and we would like to see more of it!
Kenworth, in fact, still does offer three color paint from the factory through their Custom Truck Sales Department. There are dozens of different stripe combinations and hundreds of color choices. Popular schemes you may remember are Jetstream, Scottsdale, Fury, Comanche, and Seminole. In a day and age when many of the custom trucks choose a monochromatic paint scheme, these paint schemes really stand out. If you're ordering a new truck, or repainting an old one, take some inspiration from the vintage trucks of the 1970's.

It was a long lonely drive back to our house without Jan by myside. As the miles zipped by I recognized that I was miserable sometimes however at others I was excited and nearly giddy knowing that she was back with Steve and he was most likely screwing her and dragging her much deeper and deeper into the hotwife way of life. I felt at the time that she would be enjoying herself and I didn't know what was truly going on until much later after she returned from St. Louis.
I had to keep our friends and household at bay and not reveal that Jan was still in St. Louis without me. We had actually limited communication at the time simply a short text every day and only one brief however doing not have in details phone call about her extended holiday.
This was nearly a totally different lady than the one I had actually left behind in St. Louis just a week back. She had on a summer dress that looked like it must be worn as a slip as it was practically sheer and shimmery; it fell midway between her knees and her hips. As I held her I could not feel her bra strap or panties as my hands slipped from her back and over her ass.

Poor suffering more from rising inflation
Poor families have been hit far harder by inflation during the recession than their rich counterparts, according to new research that predicts soaring energy bills will deepen the problem.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies finds in a report to be published today that the poorest fifth of Britain's households endured an average inflation rate of 4.3 per cent between 2008 and last year. This compares with average inflation of only 2.7 per cent for the richest fifth of the population, the IFS said.
It blames big increases in gas and electricity bills and sharp falls in mortgage costs for the differential.
As a share of household expenses, the poor tend to spend twice as much on energy costs, while richer families are predominantly homeowners and

How to find the right composition MontrealOctober 22, 2019 Robert Shivers
Serge, Can you pls do a video on how to keep Lightroom organized and how to keep effective backups
Nice to see an episode shoat from my hometown!
Tu viens à Montréal sans prévenir 🙁 peut-être la prochaine fois! Je quitte pour Valensole demain soir. À +
please buy a new mic 🙁
Content de voir ma ville en exemple photo merci Serge! :o)
Hey Serge, the mic sounds weird. Just cut the 0-150 hz range using an EQ and it'll be fine. =)
Haha. Thanks Serge for the video. I'm gonna be in Montreal this weekend for 1 day. Hopefully I can create something. 😃
Très belle photo Serge, bienvenue à Montréal 👍🏻
wow nice creativity thanks for inspire us
Take the train to Toronto and we'll go on a photo walk 😉
Great video as always. Nice to see you in friendly Canada! Have you thought about a video on social media workflow?? Your photos look crisp and vibrant on instagram.
a montreal jusqu'a quand?
Nice tutorial! Still, learn something every time!
Sorry, Serge, first video that I disliked from your great collection and work. These compositions are not even "OK photos" or compositions. There is nothing in there and you have simply been at the wrong spot for sunset. From a distance, I would probably have tried combining the dome with the bridge or the ferris wheel from another high view point. But the rooftop you were shooting from is just too far away from interesting views and always has a messy foreground.
Serge I am from Montreal and would love to shoot from that roof. Where is it located in old Montreal?
Prove me wrong, but I don't think the A7s has in-body image stabilization.
You have lost that "touch" sorry Serge…
Bienvenu au Québec 😆
La prochaine fois, tu devrais aller à la cité du havre pour faire une photo de Montréal à la pénombre.
Upload potoshop tutorial. And mobile photography tricks.
what settings do u use on the camera for focus?
Intéressant. Focal 6.3, sur quoi tu mets le focus ? Le ciel ?
I really love the idea of retouch challenges. But not for the potential publicity. Just for the fun of it and possible to get some opinion on it. In fact I kind of do NOT want to put some1 else's photos on my instagram.
How about making a challenge like that and then make a video where you just give your opinion/feedback on as many as is feasible.
Sure that is always a matter of taste (just as for MY taste you went a bit heavy handed on those sliders today), but I d still be interrested. Very much though, caz it got to be more educational then getting opinions for non photographers that say WOW on the worst HDR imaginable.
Anyways thanks for the vid. And sorry for some of the comments you got.
Great video as always! Could you make a video talking about the best settings to export from Lightroom for files on 500px?
i am @mc4photography 😀 , thank you Serge , you re great guy , it s really rare to finde people like you . thank you for everything
Please, the esthetic label chapter 04 tutorial. Can you try? thank you so much.
Hey Serge, I've been following you for quite a while now and since you love editing photos so much, how about we send you some RAW photos from which you chose the best one every second week or so and give it your touch. Maybe you can also compare it to the retouch of the person, who took and edited the picture. I would love to see you taking pictures and talk about why you chose the settings for a photo. Don't get me wrong, seeing you edit pictures is awesome but seeing you out in the field hunting for the next great picture would be amazing 🙂
All I can say to the nay sayers is…are your photos better.
Thank you so much for nice tips 🙂

I love to add a few decorative elements to my terrariums along with the plants growing inside.
I have begun decking my terrariums out to look even more like tiny enchanted forests by adding itty bitty fairy lights and homemade clay mushrooms along with my succulents and tropical plants.
Materials Craft paint in your preferred colors—I used a metallic copper color, white, and teal Wire cutters 16-guage wire Small paint brush Make it!
You will need a clean, dry surface to roll and work your clay on.
This will become the stem of your mushroom.
Starting at the bottom of the stem, gently poke your wire into the center of the clay and feed it up through the stem vertically so that the wire goes almost up to the top of the stem.
Next, make the mushroom cap.
Scratch some small crosshatch marks into the inside of the cap and the top of the stem where you want the two pieces to join.
Use the paintbrush to dab a little water onto the crosshatch marks on both the stem and the cap, then press the two pieces together firmly, crosshatched area to crosshatched area.

Despite Missing 2019 WTT Playoffs, Inaugural Vegas Season Exceeds Expectations
August 19, 2019 - World TeamTennis (WTT) - Vegas Rollers News Release
LAS VEGAS - Coach Tim Blenkiron wasn't sure what to expect in the Vegas Rollers' inaugural season in World TeamTennis.
He knew he had talent, he knew had the backing of a tennis-savvy management team, and he was well aware of the exuberant tennis community in the Entertainment Capital of the World.
How it would all come together was an entirely different story.
"I don't know if my mind could have grasped what it was gonna be, I'm not really creative like that" Blenkiron said. "You never know how it's gonna turn out, especially the first season. But it far exceeded my expectations."
Vegas finished the season 6-8, tied for fifth place. The top four teams made the playoffs, which saw the Springfield Lasers repeat as champions, ironically with a borrowed player from the Rollers, Evan Song.
The Rollers lost to just one team both times they met and split the rest of their matches across the league. And of their eight losses, they lost two matches by one point, another one by tiebreak and another one by one game.
"If we hit 50 percent of that we're in the playoffs," Blenkiron said. "We were in that competition to win it. We were around in every single match which was cool, it made it exciting."
But it's not as if the Rollers didn't make things interesting, down to the final week of the regular season.
They defeated the Orlando Storm in the home finale to remain alive in the playoff hunt, only to be eliminated in their season-finale at Springfield.
Despite missing the postseason, team officials counted the first season in the league as a win thanks to a tremendous reception by a town that had just welcomed the NBA Summer League, is enjoying the Las Vegas Aces' run to the WNBA playoffs, and is anxiously awaiting the Vegas Golden Knights' third season in the NHL.
"Vegas is absolutely perfect for World TeamTennis," WTT founder Billie Jean King said during the night of the championship match, which was held at the Orleans Arena, the Rollers' home venue. "Vegas should be the best because of the music and the entertainment they have here every day of the year. And they have the best people, so it's just amazing. It's exactly what we want World TeamTennis to be. It's amazing when you look at Vegas and how it's developed over the years."
But winning and losing aside, the Rollers seemingly emerged from their first season differently than other teams. They became a family, and one with the community.
In fact, as the tennis world settled into Flushing, New York for the U.S. Open, Monica Puig texted into a group message that the Rollers family needed to have a dinner together while everyone was there.
"All things considered it couldn't have gone much better," Blenkiron said. "The only thing that could have gone better was if we made the playoffs."

End of year Client Questionnaire Livestock Numbers.31 March 2019
End of year Client Questionnaire Livestock Numbers.31 March 2019
End of year Client Questionnaire Livestock Sheet.31 March 2019
2017 client questionnaires are now loaded on our website under the resources, please download the questionnaire(s) that is relevant to your business. Once completed, please forward with your records to our office. Please ensure all parties sign the relevant questionnaire(s).
Buying off the plan? The bright-line test and you
We've talked before about how changes to tax law around buying and selling property might affect you. Now that the changes are in operation and the bright line test is being applied to determine tax liability, an issue highlighted only recently might leave you exposed. As we've discussed before, people who buy or sell a property within two years of acquiring it must pay tax on the gain. The main home is exempt and there are some other exceptions such as inheritance and relationship break-ups. Read more….
Filling employment gaps over summer
With the holidays coming up, you may have started to think about whether to employ some extra people over the holidays. If you do, think carefully about the kind of help you need and broadly what kind of employment contract is best suited to the situation. It's important to make sure you comply with current employment law and have it right from the start. Read more….
When you're entertaining clients or colleagues, some entertainment expenses are tax deductible while others aren't. It can be tricky working out what's deductible as a business expense and what isn't. The basic idea is that an expense is business-related if you spend the money to help your business earn income. Most business-related expenses are fully deductible. If the expense doesn't help your business earn gross income, it's private and you can't claim it as a tax deduction. Read more….
FBT on gifts and entertainment
If you are giving gifts to your team you may also be liable for fringe benefits tax. There's a $300 exemption from paying FBT per employee per quarter so if the value of the gift is less than $300 you may be exempt. However, if the value of total benefits for an employee goes over $300 for the quarter year (and provided the total value of all benefits doesn't exceed $22,500 for the year), the full value of the benefits is subject to FBT. Read more….
Risk and rewards
Underpaid income tax?
Maybe you did not keep up with your provisional tax payments throughout the year? (oops) Perhaps you did not end up paying enough because you had a better-than-expected financial year (yay! but damn, an increased tax liability). It could be that seasonality or volatility make it difficult to forecast your provisional tax payments.
Whatever the case, owing the taxman additional income tax can put pressure on your business' cashflow. With Inland Revenue's interest clock continuously ticking at 8.27 per cent (and at 9.21% for tax debt incurred up until 8 May 2016) while that tax remains unpaid, the cost can quickly add up.
Tax pooling
An option we have discussed before is tax pooling. It is a service designed to reduce interest costs and provide payment options for provisional taxpayers.
How does it work?
For underpaid income tax, you can settle what you owe IRD by paying through a tax pooling intermediary such as Tax Management NZ (TMNZ) at an interest cost lower than the interest IRD charges on underpaid tax.
New GST online filing
The first steps towards tax simplification lie in the new option for taxpayers for online filing of GST returns. Inland Revenue has been working with two software providers to pilot a service so taxpayers can file their GST returns directly from their business software. At present this can be used for GST only returns or for combined GST and provisional tax returns, although this option is not open to taxpayers who use the ratio option to calculate provisional tax.
Timely reminders
Note: these dates apply to those clients for whom we prepare tax returns. Different dates will apply for those clients for whom we don't prepare returns. Please ask us if you'd like more information.

Situated in West Chicago, Illinois, Latin American Counseling Services has treatment options for those who are seeking help for drug and alcohol addiction.
Addiction is a progressive disease of the mind that will continue to get worse with time if it goes untreated. It will continue to worsen without the help of a recovery program. It's important that those who are addicted to drugs and alcohol seek the help of Latin American Counseling Services in order to regain the life that has become lost to addiction.
Through a thorough patient evaluation, addicts who attend treatment at Latin American Counseling Services can get a personalized treatment plan made. The assessment is intended to depict the severity of the addiction as well as to learn more about the individual themselves. This way, a comprehensive treatment program can be put in place in order to reap the desired result; that being long-lasting abstinence from drugs and alcohol.
Throughout the patient's time in treatment at Latin American Counseling Services, the addict will learn new vital coping mechanisms and trigger management skills. These will help the addict adapt to a new life that is free of substance abuse when they reenter society. Since many addicts relapse, it is inherently important that they avoid certain settings or social circles that will pressure them to use.
At Latin American Counseling Services, we believe that all addicts have the courage within to overcome their drug and alcohol addiction. Through the constant support of counselors and professional advisors working with addict's daily, recovery is possible. Despite how long one has been an addict for, recovery is still absolutely attainable. Treatment is not a one-size-fits-all approach and at Latin American Counseling Services, treating each patient with individuality is of utmost importance.
Breaking the vicious cycle of addiction is tough, but with professional counselors and effective treatment options in place, sobriety is closer than it seems. Get in touch with Latin American Counseling Services today at NULL to learn more about how recovery can help pave a new life path. When the final level of sustained sobriety is reached, a feeling of contentment will ensue and this is something to be extremely proud of.

Summer paradise lyrics
Oh, Oh
Take me back, take me back
Oh yeah
Back to summer paradise
My heart is sinking
As I'm lifting up
Above the clouds away from you
And I can't believe I'm leaving
Oh I don't kno-kno-know what I'm gonna do
But someday
I will find my way back
To where your name
Is written in the sand
Cause I remember every sunset
I remember every word you said
We were never gonna say goodbye
Say la-ta-ta-ta-ta
Tell me how to get back to
Back to summer paradise with you
And I'll be there in a heartbeat
I'll be there in a heartbeat
(Tell 'em)
My soul is broken
Streets are frozen
I can't stop these feelings melting through
And I'd give away a thousand days, oh
Just to have another one with you
What'd you say?
Well real life can wait
(Real life can wait)
I'm crushing my ways
Playing in the sand
(Me and you)
Holding your hand
Cause I remember every sunset
I remember every word you said
We were never gonna say goodbye
Say la-ta-ta-ta-ta
Tell me how to get back to
Back to summer paradise with you
And I'll be there in a heartbeat
I'll be there in a heartbeat
Yeah I remember sunny mornings
And summer evenings
Now you're right next to me
And I am freezing
Was it real?
Or baby tell me, was I dreaming?
How can you show me paradise,
When I'm leaving?
Now my heartbeat is sinking
Hope's shrinking
When I try to speak no words
Hope this is not just wishful thinking
Tell me that you care
And I'll be there in a heartbeat
I will find my way back
To where your name
Is written in the sand
Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's go
Cause I remember every sunset
I remember every word you said
We were never gonna say goodbye
Say la-ta-ta-ta-ta
Tell me how to get back to
Back to summer paradise with you
And I'll be there in a heartbeat
I remember where we first kissed
How I didn't wanna leave your lips
And how I've never ever felt so high
Tell me how to get back to
Back to summer paradise with you
And I'll be there in a heartbeat
I'll be there in a heartbeat
(Summer paradise)
I'll be there in a heartbeat

I'm no stranger to stress. Are there really any lucky souls who aren't subject to this pest?
I've come a long way but still find myself occasionally paralyzed by the stress of life. Thankfully I'm better at managing it these days if I can catch it in time. But for those who are stressed up to their ears 24/7, I want to share how mental stress can affect your physical body. Because it does. After years of working with people who battle cancer, chronic illness, autoimmune disease and weight issues one thing they all have in common is stress.
When your body perceives it's under threat, stress triggers your fight or flight response. This biological response means you either prepare to fight the stress or move away from it. After processing this response your body naturally settles back into a state of calm. The problem is, when we're in a constant state of stress, we never get back to that calm state.
How stress affects the body
When the body is launched into fight or flight mode a few things happen. Your blood pressure and heart rate rise, a stress hormone called cortisol is released from our adrenals. These responses don't have many long-term effects, IF your body returns to a calm state shortly after the stressful event.
However it you're constantly exposed to stressful situations you could be at risk of developing negative health conditions.
These may include:
- Muscle tension and soreness
- Migraines
- Headaches
- Digestive problems
- Poor sleep or insomnia
- A weak immune system, you may be more susceptible to colds/infections
- Hormones imbalances
- Depression
The conditions above lead to a larger problem, these can cause additional mental and physical stress in your body. It's a vicious, vicious cycle!
Additional effects caused by high levels of stress:
Acne can be caused by many things but personally it's always been connected to stress. Increased cortisol levels can cause imbalances in sex hormones and lead to the formation of acne. The increased level of these hormones signal the sebaceous glands to create more oil. And of course, the more oil on our skin the more easily our pores can become clogged triggering acne.
If you notice you hold more weight around the midsection you're likely experiencing weight gain associated with stress. Elevated levels of cortisol lead to increased release of insulin which causes low blood sugar, and finally sugar cravings. It's not surprising why we tend to reach for comfort foods when we're stressed!
Even if you have the self-control to choose healthier options over sugary, salty comfort foods your body will still hold onto those extra pounds. Weight loss is EXTREMELY hard, sometimes impossible, until you let go of what's causing the stress in the first place.
Were in serious trouble when the adrenals are out of whack. Nothing damages the adrenals like stress and unhappiness, it's a downward spiral from here starting with inflammation, insomnia, infections, constipation, chronic fatigue etc. Basically you'll feel like crap.
Low adrenals can lead to countless unwanted symptoms, some of the most common are:
- Anxiety
- Belly fat
- Blood sugar issues
- Fatigue
- Inflammation
- Insomnia
- Lower back pain
- Salt cravings
- Shortness of breath

Cannabis Culture
Indicted Ukrainians sought Nevada hashish licenses in all of the flawed methods
Chris KudialisOctober 11, 2019
Two Ukrainian associates of Rudy Giuliani had been arrested on Wednesday night time and charged with funneling international cash into US elections, an criminal activity. The headlines have been dominated by the pair's alleged donations to a pro-Trump tremendous PAC final 12 months, however there's one other cost hidden within the indictment that has left some within the hashish trade—and plenty of within the state of Nevada—scratching their heads.
Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman weren't simply courting affect inside Trump circles. In addition they allegedly donated international money to a Republican gubernatorial candidate in Nevada, with the intention of gaining one of many state's extremely coveted hashish licenses. However those that know politics and hashish in Nevada are bemused by the truth that the Ukrainians focused Adam Paul Laxalt: He's one of the anti-cannabis politicians within the American West.
Earlier than working for Nevada governor final 12 months, Laxalt spent his 4 years because the state's lawyer common preventing towards authorized hashish.
A Republican, Laxalt denounced Nevada's retail gross sales initiative throughout the 2016 marketing campaign cycle, arguing amongst different issues that edibles would endanger youngsters and that the initiative put "revenue over public well being."
When his marketing campaign to cease legalization failed, Laxalt turned the one lawyer common from adult-use states on the time to not signal a letter despatched to leaders in Congress in favor of the SAFE Banking Act, in January 2018. That very same month, when former US AG Jeff Classes infamously repealed the Cole and Wilkinson Memos, Laxalt stopped in need of taking a transparent place.
"My workplace has expeditiously facilitated the implementation of the (retail hashish) legislation within the face of appreciable uncertainty in regards to the standing of federal enforcement exercise," he stated, in response to the Classes memo.
Donations from international businessmen
However Laxalt's historical past, in keeping with a 21-page indictment launched Thursday, apparently wasn't sufficient to discourage a minimum of two outstanding former Soviet Union-born businessmen from donating to his marketing campaign final 12 months in hopes of shopping for affect for a proposed marijuana enterprise. These businessmen are additionally now on the middle of the US Home of Representatives' impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.
Igor Fruman, a Belarus-born businessman who lived in Ukraine earlier than immigrating to the US, and his affiliate Lev Parnas, had been arrested and charged in a New York district court docket with funneling $1 million from an unnamed international nationwide right into a US checking account, and giving $10,000 donations in Fruman's title to Laxalt and Nevada Lawyer Basic candidate Wes Duncan final fall.
The fees are alleged as a part of a much bigger scheme during which Fruman and Parnas, together with Ukrainian-born businessman Andrey Kukushkin and Miami-based businessman David Correia, tried to purchase affect from political leaders throughout the US for enterprise ventures in Russia and Ukraine.
As a part of the plan, the 4 labored on the unnamed benefactor's behalf in hopes of securing a Nevada hashish dispensary license throughout a state lottery for 64 out there permits final fall. Dispensary licenses within the Silver State are restricted by state legislation.
They picked the flawed folks
US legislation bans marketing campaign contributions from international nationals and people made within the title of one other individual, however the timing, path, and presumed entitlement behind Fruman and firm's cannabis-inspired donations are puzzling to say the least.
The deadline to use for a Nevada hashish enterprise license final fall was September 20, and solely operators of marijuana grows, manufacturing services, and present shops on the time had been allowed to use. In accordance with the indictment, on October 25, 2018, Kukushkin suggested Fruman, Parnas, and the Russian benefactor that the group was two months too late "until we modify the principles." The indictment suggests the group targeted on Laxalt, hoping he'd win the governor's workplace and will get them a license in alternate for his or her marketing campaign contribution.
The utmost a person can provide to a politician is $10,000, and Laxalt raked in $eight.89 million in mixed donations throughout the marketing campaign cycle. Duncan raised $2.38 million. Amongst these monetary contributions included, there have been 330 most $10,000 donations for Laxalt and 56 such contributions for Duncan.
'A wasted donation'
Even when the 2 Republican candidates had gained, the idea that a person marketing campaign donor may manipulate the 2 highest positions within the state was "misguided," a Las Vegas scholar stated.
"It's basically a wasted donation," stated Michael Inexperienced, a Nevada political historían and professor at College of Nevada Las Vegas. "The alleged ties to Giuliani would do rather more for them than a $10,000 reward would."
An ongoing court docket case over the brand new dispensary licenses has proven that marijuana officers in Nevada aren't precisely freed from political affect. In August, a Nevada District Courtroom decide in Clark County—which incorporates Las Vegas—issued an injunction towards a slew of dispensary license winners after figuring out the Division of Taxation acted "arbitrarily and capriciously" in scoring the purposes. Choose Elizabeth Gonzalez discovered tax official, who has since been fired, gave a choose group of hashish candidates a scoring benefit over the remainder of the pack.
However within the case of Fruman and Parnas, they picked the flawed folks to impose their affect, in nearly each manner attainable.
On Thursday, Duncan and a consultant for Laxalt denied understanding of any wrongdoing by the donors, and each stated they plan to return the donations. The indictment states the defendants hid the scheme from the "campaigns, federal regulators, and the general public."

The Kugbo furniture market was gutted by fire on Friday, January 10, this year, leading to loss of goods and property worth millions of naira, with more than 20 shops razed down. PAUL OKAH visited the scene and files in this report.
Friday, January 10, 2020, will forever be etched on the minds of furniture makers in Kugbo, a community under Karu in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), which is arguably the largest furniture market in the territory.
It was the day the furniture makers woke around 10:30pm to watch equipment, goods and valuables worth millions of naira razed down in an inferno that can only be equated with the biblical hell fire.
They also lamented the late arrival of the FCT Fire Service (FFS) who blamed obsolete equipment as reason for their inability to save the situation.
Worse still, the furniture makers also alleged that they had been abandoned by the FCT Administration, including the FCT Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), "despite timely payment of revenue to government authorities."
Recounting his loss, a victim, Mr. Idris A. Samugana, who hails from Auchi in Edo state and who is also the CEO of Sunshine Furniture, and who was already reconstructing his shop at the time of filing in this report, said six fire service tankers could not quench the inferno and that people lost valuables worth more than N30 million.
He said, "If we waste time in reconstructing, the little money in our hands will run out. On Friday night, January 10, around 11:00pm, I got information that this section of the market was on fire and I had to rush down. Before getting here, I met fire service, but the shops were already burnt down. I had to go back to my house when I realised I couldn't salvage anything from my shop. I don't even know where the fire started from.
"I lost valuables, including two generators, industrial machines, furniture of different kinds, working tools; in fact, I lost everything. I didn't recover a pin from the inferno. Specifically, I lost about seven sets of kitchen cabinet, four beds, sewing machine and working materials. I can't even give the correct estimate of how much I lost. I just want to reconstruct my shop and then move on in life," he said.
Similarly, the CEO of Kakaisuay Global Resources, Mr. Elvis Ngbor, who hails from Rivers state, said he shares a shop with five traders and that they all lost valuables, even as he lamented that many customers have not even sympathised with them, but were actually demanding to be repaid.
"Many of the traders come to work from Ado, New Nyanya, Jikwoyi, Orozo and other places; so it was too late for us to rush back and salvage something. In my case, we are six different people sharing the same shop and we were all affected. We heard that the fire started from one of the wooden structures behind my shop around 10:00pm. People live in the wooden structures commonly called batchers," he said.
He said further, "Nevertheless, once we rebuild, we will plan the way forward. Customers have to bear with us for us to fix ourselves and repay them. Sadly, we have been abandoned by government. Since the incident, we have not been visited by any government agency despite the fact that we pay revenues. So, we need the intervention of government. At least, we pay revenue to AMAC, so they should provide relieve materials to us.
"We also need fire service station here. This is not the first time there would be a fire incident in the market. It is almost an annual incident. This market is big enough for that as this is about the biggest furniture market in Nigeria. At the back of the market where we are, we produce and supply to those at the front who have showrooms. There is no shop here that did not lose millions of naira. We are not used to staying at home, that's why you see us here looking for the way forward. It is not as if we have money, but we have to be optimistic."
Further lamentations
For the CEO of Moses Interiors, Mr. Moses Ayo, the situation would have been salvaged and valuables saved if the FFS had arrived on time, even as he said he lost generators and furniture worth millions of naira to the inferno.
He said, "I was in the shop that faithful night as I had a lot of work to do over the night. Around 10:00pm, the public power supply was restored. However, around 10:30pm, we started hearing shouts of 'fire' and I had to rush out. The fire was raging and nobody was able to rescue anything. As you knowing, structures here are made up of wood, tarpaulin, leather and other consumables.
"Fire service came very late. They arrived here around 11:30 or 12:00am, so the fire had enough time to consume everything. The raging fire even prevented the fire service from entering as they concentrated at the entrance into this section of the market. Nobody rescued anything. I lost four set of chairs, including a foreign set that costs N2.1 million, a generator, industrial sewing machine, among other valuables.
"Some customers have called to sympathise with us, but I am sure they will start demanding for their products once the situation dies down. A particular woman called to say she has no business with the fire incident and that I should deliver the product she paid for within two days. I can't say I blame her as human beings react differently to situations. In any case, I have started reconstructing my shop to start another phase of life."
'We've been abandoned'
Another victim, Mr. Anota Matthew, said the fire started and ended in his presence without his rescuing even a pin from his shop. He said no government agency has since visited to commiserate with them on their losses.
He said, "Everything started and ended in my presence. I was working that particular night, but decided to rest a bit. I was hit with shouts of fire from people and I had rushed out. We did our best to quench the fire with water, but we were overwhelmed. I lost four sets of chairs, industrial machine, generator, among other valuables.
"I don't trust government to help us; so, like many others, I've started reconstructing my shop. In fact, we have not been visited by any government official since the incident. However, I will be glad if we can get a fire service station in the market so that we can fight the fire ourselves in the event of an outbreak. Furthermore, we will be happy if government can build concrete shops for us, instead of these wooden structures that easily catch fire.
"Despite the huge amount we pay as revenue to AMAC, there is no facility here. No public toilets, no borehole or anything to show that government remembers us. If there is borehole here, each shop can have drums of water to fetch from in case of a fire incident. The inferno was particularly damaging because we couldn't gain access to water anywhere."
Market chair speaks
In an interview with Blueprint Weekend, the chairman of Kugbo Furniture Market and CEO of City Furniture, Mr. Austin Bawa, appealed to the victims to trust in God for compensation and for customers to be patient with them, even as he urged concerned authorities to come to their rescue by providing a fire service post in the market.
"When I started getting calls about the fire incident that night, I rushed down here because I had my shop closed for the day. Much damage had already been done by the fire before fire service got here, so nothing was salvaged. From the list we compiled, at least 22 traders were affected, across different shops. In particular, a colleague wanted to supply a kitchen cabinet worth N700, 000 the next day, but it was also burnt down. This is apart from local and foreign chairs, beds, machines and others.
"This is not the first time there will be fire incident here, though I was not affected this year. Last three years, I lost everything to fire and have only recently replaced some of my machines worth millions of naira. We pay revenue to AMAC, but there are not providing anything for us. I plead with government to assist us with a fire service station here. I have instructed traders here to procure fire extinguishers for their shops. It is compulsory," he said.
Fire Service reacts
In an interview with Blueprint Weekend on the incident, the public relations officer of the FCT Fire Service, Mr. Jerry Timveh, said it was not true that the Service responded late to distress calls.
He said, "Actually, the Kugbo furniture market fire disaster is an unfortunate situation, but it is wrong for the victims to claim that fire service responded late. In fact, from our Control Unit log book, we got a distress call by 11:08pm on Friday, January 10, 2020 about a fire incident in Kugbo furniture market and our men from nearby Karu station arrived exactly five minutes later, that is 11:13pm. They came back at 1:25am on Saturday, January 11; so they battled the fire for more than two hours.
"My thinking is that the victims initially thought they could handle the situation, that's why they didn't't call fire service until the situation was beyond them. With regards to the allegation by the victims that we responded with obsolete equipment, it may interest you to know that we maintain the equipment in our fleet, despite some of them being manufactured 25 years ago. In fact, of recent, we just took delivery of one modern fire-fighting equipment, and we are still expecting more," he said.
Continuing, he said, "Also, if the traders need a fire post, they can come together to make it happen. Government has given them the space for business, so they can compliment government's effort by putting facilities in place as government cannot do everything. Wuye, Garki and other markets have fire posts and it is as a result of efforts by traders there. Kugbo furniture market traders can replicate same and not rely on government."
To avoid future occurrence
"To avoid fire disasters in the future, they can make provision for a fire post, have extinguishers in all the shops and then be trained on how to handle fire extinguishers or have their security men be trained so that they can help before fire service can arrive. Nevertheless, our advice to FCT residents is to put a call to our emergency number (092906118 or 112) on time once they notice a fire incident because, by the time it overwhelms them and they call us, it may also be too late for us to salvage the situation."
FEMA's remarks
Despite the allegations of the victims affected by the inferno, inquiries by this reporter led to the revelation that FEMA was not informed on the fire incident on time for timely intervention.
In a reply to a text message from our reporter seeking clarification, the director-general of FEMA, Alhaji Idriss Abass, said the agency was not contacted on the inferno, but he had information that the fire service reacted in time to the distress calls on the inferno.
He said, "Kindly clarify with the FFS. FEMA rescue team was not notified. In fact, I came to know about it after the inferno. The firemen were prompt in attending to the incident. However, if there was no response from the FFS, that's where we should have come in. But in this circumstance, if the response from the FFS was good, then what do you expect FEMA to do?"
NEMA speaks
In an interview with Blueprint Weekend, the public relations officer of NEMA, Mr. Manzo Ezekiel, said the responsibility of intervening in the Kugbo inferno victims falls under the purview of FEMA and that NEMA will only step in if FEMA is overwhelmed or runs out of resources.
"Kugbo falls under FEMA, so we can't intervene in the situation. It is only when FEMA runs out of resources and contacts us that we can intervene. I am sure that FEMA is equipped to handle the situation. I know that there is a fire station at Nyanya and Karu, the only question is whether the victims were swift enough to contact fire service when the incident happened. I also wonder about the level of preparedness of Kugbo people to fire disasters, because this is not the first time there would be fire incident in the market.
"They work with consumables like wood, foam and electrical equipment, so how prepared are they? It is not all about blaming the authorities. We can't be talking about who came late or not: what is the way forward? They should bring the situation to the attention of appropriate authorities. They should also organise themselves for a mini fire service post. They should approach FEMA for help in this regard.
"NEMA has been advocating for traders to get insurance policies so that they can get support in case of disasters of this nature. Nevertheless, we are working with NCC to ensure there is a three-digit emergency number. I believe technical hitches are preventing the digit from being rolled out at the moment, but the number will be of great help in times of emergency once operational," he said.
