Taylah + Matt
21. 9. 18
A beautiful intimate wedding set up in the hills of Bangalow. I was asked to be the second shooter of this wedding alongside the amazing Amelia Fullarton. It was my absolute pleasure to help capture this gorgeous day. Taylah and Matt were such lovely people and their connection for each other was undeniable. The wedding was at the perfect time of day, for a photographer especially! And the light shone through from the sky to illuminate their ceremony. Flowers butterflies and countryside vibes would be the best way to describe this setup. Not to mention the stunning cactus collection Taylah and Matt had on their property. With this wedding, I wanted to capture how beautiful the day was, because as we all know its extremely hard to do real-life justice. But I was hoping to get close! I wanted to capture the connections between friends and family and I wanted to create a coastal countryside feel in all of the images. If I could shoot weddings like this all year round I would be one happy photographer!

Tactical Gear
SSairsoft.com offers a wide variety of tactical gear so you're geared up for any airsoft event. We have vests, plate carriers, belts, clothing, pads, pouches, and harnesses for protection and additional equipment storage from top manufacturers. We also have gear bags and gun cases ..
Tactical Gear in an Airsoft Event
At an event, Tactical gear is just as crucial as your airsoft guns.
When it comes to vests, you need to find something that is comfortable and also has extra storage for all of your equipment..
Plate carriers are especially effective for close quarters combat in an airsoft event. Most plate carriers are also have MOLLE webbing to allow magazine, general purpose, medical, grenade, radio, and other pouches to be easily attached to increase your tactical advantage.
A holster is a requirement for a sidearm. The important thing to remember about your holster is that you need to be able to reach your sidearm quickly and easily while still keeping the sidearm secure under stressful environments or transportation.
You'll also need a gun sling for your main rifle. This creates an easier carry and a quicker draw while shooting.
Many airsoft players forget about something very basic: protecting their hands. That's exactly what tactical gloves are for. They allow for a full range of movement and many are also armored for additional protection. It's up to each individual player as to whether to use full or fingerless gloves.
Your clothing needs to work with the location and surroundings in which you'll be immersed. You have to choose whether you're going to need camouflage. If so, what kind of camo will you need? If you're running night ops, you need to be able to dress for that as well. At any airsoft event, the first priority should be safety. You'll need to decide if you want clothing with padding built in or separate pieces for your padding.

Ludwig Van Beethoven was a musical genius who created symphonies and sonatas of intense passion and emotion, leading the way into the Classical Era of music
Ludwig Beethoven, child prodigy, was revered for his talent throughout the world even during his lifetime. Famous as the composer of "Fur Elise" and the Fifth and Ninth Symphonies, Beethoven is remembered as a man of great genius. But did you know he had a softer side? A side that often caused the man to fall hopelessly in love? A side that made him feel a friend's grief so deeply he could not speak? Did you know he composed entire symphonies "in his head," hearing the part for every instrument before he set the first note on paper? These are the lesser known facts about the well known musician.
Born in 1770 in Bonn, Germany, Ludwig Beethoven was a precocious musician. His father was a rough man who determined to exploit the young boy's musical gifts and therefore forced the child to practice many hours each day. When the boy tired and made mistakes in his music, it is said that his father thrashed his head, "boxing" his ears as punishment for imperfection. Despite the harsh treatment, Beethoven loved music, and took lessons in violin, organ, and piano. Like Mozart, Beethoven began public performances at the age of six. He left school to tour full-time at the age of thirteen.
When Beethoven was eighteen, his father died, leaving him the responsibility of providing for himself and two younger brothers. He accepted a position playing the viola in the orchestra to provide the household income. In 1792, Franz Joseph Haydn passed through Bonn and recognized the brilliant talent of young Beethoven, not only as a performer but as a composer. Haydn insisted that Beethoven accompany him to Vienna.
In Vienna, Beethoven studied with Haydn. He, like many other young musicians there, lived in an upstairs attic; but he received - and, of course, accepted - many invitations to perform in the homes and palaces of the wealthy. Beethoven was able to earn his own support as well as send money home to his brothers.
Beethoven's music expressed his innermost feelings through the dynamics and movement of the pieces he composed. In fact, his attention to feeling in his music began a new "style" different in some ways from the very technical, almost mathematical, form of the Baroch period. Beethoven's music was passionate and dramatic, leading into a more emotional period of music known as the Classical Era. He blended rich chords and tones, feelings, and emotion into the composition of his greatest pieces from love songs to symphonies.
The emotion came from deep within the man. Beethoven was almost always in love, proposing marriage a number of times. But Beethoven was uncouth, small, thin, and not very handsome. He also had a violent temperament that frightened the ladies. His advances in love often turned to disappointments.
But disappointment too became a compelling force in Beethoven's music. On one occasion, Beethoven was quite miserable after his marriage proposal to Countess Giulietta had been turned down. He sat at his piano as moonlight beams trickled through the windows of his flat, unable to put his feelings of dejection into words. As happened so often, the music did it for him. It was that night that he composed the famous "Moonlight Sonata" for love of the countess.
Beethoven's gamut of emotions ran from the rough and unseemly to the empathetic. The story is told of a baroness who lost her children in a terrible tragedy. Her friends did their best to cheer her, but she did not respond. For days, she sat motionless, her eyes fixed on the floor. Although Beethoven was a close friend, he could not bring himself to visit her. He openly admitted that he was so overcome with the sense of her loss that he wished to grieve himself in private. Finally, Beethoven asked the baroness to come to his home. To the amazement of her friends, the Baroness accepted the great composer's invitation and was soon sitting in his study. Beethoven went to the piano and played for over an hour without stopping. He poured himself into piece after piece, pounding out the emotion that he felt in sympathy for his friend. For the first time since her loss, the Baroness allowed the tension to relax. She left the house without ever uttering a word. Recounting the experience years later, she said, "He told me everything with his music and at last brought me comfort."
In his late twenties, Beethoven began to experience lapses in his hearing. As he sat at his piano, he heard the notes but then felt that they faded. He pounded out the notes all that much harder until the keyboard's action wore away and refused to sound again. There has always been the supposition that Beethoven's hearing loss was the latent result of his father's abuse. The head thrashings were severe and could have indeed caused the development of a tumor that grew larger with the passing of time. Such an anomaly may have damaged Beethoven's auditory nervous system.
Even when deafness totally overtook the composer, Beethoven continued to write and remained dedicated to his music. Beethoven had always heard the various instrumental parts "in his head" before actually listening to them. Now he composed completely in his mind, unable to listen to the music in any other way.
He continued to direct the orchestra, especially in debuts of his newly created symphonies. Beethoven's deafness became such that the maestro could not hear the applause after such performances. He only knew that he had pleased the audience when he turned to face them and could see the clapping of their hands.
Beethoven died at the age of 56. History documents that he developed complications from a chill. Legend reports that he died during a hailstorm. At the sound of a tremendous peal of thunder, Beethoven closed his eyes to death.

There are 11 DTx projects in progress as of December 23, 2019.
All the therapeutics are based on different paradigms, theories, and models, but all based on scientific research. Some of them, absorbing and absorbing smaller ones, become more solid and powerful. They look like exercises with pen and paper, interactive programs, and short films with or without instructions.
There is an understanding that each of these therapists alone cannot produce the effect we need, so the current strategy is to make sure that the person can go through all of them, focusing only on what is happening, in a specially controlled environment of the Room.

I jumped at the chance to taste the new Green Giant Veggie Snack Chips. My late night cravings involve two things, something salty and crunchy or chocolate. These snack chips definitely took care of those salty/crunchy cravings!
I was able to try the Garden Ranch – Roasted Veggie Tortilla Chips and the Barbecue – Multigrain Sweet Potato Chips. Both flavors taste AMAZING! In fact I am shocked at how yummy these veggie chips are . . . What a great healthier alternative to regular potato chips!
Honestly, I didn't know what to expect when I read Veggie Chips because I have tried different veggie chips in the past and they all had a strange styrofoam consistency. These Green Giant Chips do not! They are just like regular potato or corn chips, in fact they are crunchier! I was truly impressed and have since purchased the Garden Ranch flavor, I also got my Mom hooked on the Barbecue.
I love both flavors, my favorite is the Garden Ranch Veggie Tortilla Chips. At only 130 calories per serving, I can do my munching without any guilt! They are also perfect for dipping so I decided to create a complimentary dip to go along them. The barbecue chips are great with the dip too, but I prefer to just munch on those straight out of the bag.
This Creamy Sweet Pepper Dip is easy to make and goes well with just about any chip flavor that you prefer. I know I want to try this dip with the other two Green Giant Veggie Snack Chip flavors: Zesty Cheddar – Roasted Veggie Tortilla Chips and Sea Salt – Multigrain Sweet Potato Chips.
I wanted this dip to taste clean and refreshing, so I kept the ingredients simple. Sweet peppers, honey, lemon, salt/pepper, greek yogurt and cream cheese. That's it and you are ready to DIP . . . CRUNCH . . . MUNCH . . . REPEAT!!!
More For The Dip Lovers:
Artichoke & Roasted Garlic Dip
Jalapeno Popper Dip
Creamy Nutella Fruit Dip
Creamy Sweet Pepper Dip
The Verdict: I {Heart} This Sweet Pepper Dip & These Green Giant Veggie Snack Chips! You should definitely give them both a try!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Hope you like these chips and dip!
I love a good party! I've been known to share my delicious creations at THESE awesome parties!

Betting at casinos has been a favourite pastime for millions of people across the world for the last 100 years, and the creation of entire cities devoted to it, such as Las Vegas, shows just how much people enjoy it. One of the biggest problems with land-based casinos was often the distance and how much they cost for people to enjoy, and most of the population was not able to partake in any casino games. This all changed with the creation of the Internet, where the online casino quickly rose to the most popular venue for all those looking to play their favourite casino game.

Proposals for Stockport to deliver its bold and ambitious town centre living plans – for the Stockport Town Centre West development – are set be given a boost with the proposed establishment of Greater Manchester's first-ever Mayoral Development Corporation (MDC).
Covering 130 acres of brownfield land in the heart of Stockport, the MDC would help accelerate the transformation of this area in the west of the town centre, creating a new urban village of up to 3,000 homes.
In partnership with Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) – as part of the Mayor's Town Centre Challenge commitment to regenerate town centres across Greater Manchester – the Council is working on how the MDC can help drive forward their Town Centre West development.
The proposed MDC will also help to resolve potential barriers to Stockport Town Centre West site development, unlock finance for schemes, as well as providing a sustainable framework within which the development could be progressed.
Councillor Kate Butler, Stockport Council's Cabinet Member for Economy and Regeneration said:
"We have made a firm commitment to the people of Stockport that we will – as far as possible – build the homes we need on previously developed land. This Brownfield First approach is central to our Town Centre West ambitions and the proposed Mayoral Development Corporation.
"The Council will be talking to local residents and businesses as the proposals develop as it's vitally important we listen to local views on how we can improve the environment and provide new opportunities to live and work in Stockport.
"We look forward to working with the Mayor and GMCA as we further investigate the option of establishing a MDC."
Stockport is increasingly being seen as an exciting, attractive place to live with new residential developments and improved public spaces for everyone to enjoy. But the Council don't want to stop there. A lot is happening with developments such as Covent Garden Village and the White Lion on site, and others like the Transport Interchange in the pipeline.Stockport
Detailed discussions about the proposal will be considered at the September meeting of GMCA with further work to be carried out over the coming months before a final decision is made in December 2018.

#MeToo movement: Norouzi accuses Vipul Shah of harassment
News Desk
Iranian actress Elnaaz Norouzi, who achieved great fame through her last web-series 'Sacred Games' on a popular content streaming platform, has accused director Vipul Shah of sexual harassment. She recounted her gruelling experience to Mid-Day.
She described her interactions with Vipul Shah and alleged that he always tried to touch her inappropriately and tried to kiss her on various occasions. Elnaaz revealed that she was being considered for a part in his film 'Namaste England'.
In an article penned by her, Elnaaz writes that she met Vipul Shah during the pre-production of his film 'Namaste England'. Her manager informed her that she would be cast as the second lead, the role was earlier reportedly offered to Jacqueline Fernandez. When she met Vipul, Elnaaz writes that he spoke to her as if they would go ahead with casting her in the film and he said that they just need to do a look test and sign the papers.
This was when she hadn't even auditioned for the film. Elnaaz writes that a few days later she was made to do an audition with casting director Honey Trehan, where she was made to do a few natural scenes on Versova beach. Elnaaz writes that it seemed to her that the casting director had not even been briefed before the audition. Vipul Shah got back to her saying that this is not what he wanted so she met him again at his office and again he said that they will sign the papers soon. While she was leaving, he came on to her and was too close for her comfort, followed by which he gave her a peck.

Tag Archives: British Blues Exhibition
Samples of our exhibits being shared online
Using our various social media channels, we've been sharing a proportion of the images of the British Blues Exhibition collection. Over time, we will probably share one out of five of our exhibits online. Here are a few of the exhibit images shared recently. The images above show (from left to right, starting with the top row) an original 45rpm single by The Rolling Stones, Get Off My Cloud; a copy flyer for The Bromel Club with acts such as The Who and Chris Farlowe appearing in the 1960's; a 2014 edition of Blues In Britain magazine with King King; an 8-track cartridge of Cream Live; a copy of Sounds magazine with Paul Kossoff and Back Street Crawler; a John O'Leary (Savoy Brown, Sugarkane, The Downliner Sect) Hohner Marine Band harmonica; a lyric sheet by Otis Grand amended by Curtis Salgado; and (some of) Chris Barber's trombone donated to the exhibition. A lot more will follow in due course. That social media we mentioned?

Between 16th October and 31st December 2018, there is an exhibition on Women In Jazz at the Barbican Library in London.
One of the British Blues Exhibitions supporters is Jazz bandleader and, to us, Godfather of British Blues, Chris Barber. Not only did he bring to the UK Blues greats such as Muddy Waters, he also worked extensively with Ottilie Patterson, who had a fabulous Blues voice. Check out the exhibition and be reminded of the relationship between Jazz and British Blues music.
Website here.
Ealing Club movie, awards and more awards
On 4th November 2017, the Doc' n Roll Film Festival 2017 at The Barbican in London launched with a showing of Suburban Steps To Rockland: the story of the Ealing Club. With a Q and A with Director, Giorgio Guernier and Dick Taylor of The Pretty Things, we'll review the film in our blog.
Amongst those interviewed in the film are:
GENO WASHINGTON (Geno Washington and the Ram Jam Band)
JEREMY SPENCER (Fleetwood Mac founder member)

NICK SIMPER (Deep Purple founder member)

In addition, the UK Blues Federation has announced its UK Blues Awards which commence in 2018.
Exhibition display at Cranleigh and working with UKBlues and British Blues Archive
A triple blast of news from the British Blues Exhibition to wrap up 2016. Firstly, we have a display at Cranleigh Arts Centre in Surrey for the two weeks ending on 21st September, featuring our latest exhibits, a 1956 Skiffle-era washboard and an even older African one. The display, the first in a fixed location for a period of days, was put in place in honour of Chris Barber and Nicky Moore.
Second, we are working more closely with the UK Blues Federation and some of our online history is being migrated to their website so we can concentrate on being a physical exhibition. Finally, we are working more closely as well with the British Blues Archive, now incorporated into the UK Blues Federation, and which loaned the exhibition the Alexis Korner album in the display pictured.
The news release by UK Blues Federation is as follows:
The UK Blues Federation (UKBlues) is delighted to announce that with immediate effect the British Blues Archive (BBA) is to amalgamate with UKBlues and come under the organisation's 'umbrella' with BBA's online archive material being incorporated into the Education section of the UKBlues' website (www.ukblues.org) .
In addition UKBlues and the British Blues Archive are working with the British Blues Exhibition (www.britishbluesexhibition.co.uk) and Early Blues.com (www.earlyblues.com) who have agreed to migrate some of their relevant online content to further enhance the brand new and comprehensive resource afforded by this new venture.
This unique partnership will create an unparalleled central resource and reference point for historical material relating to blues in the UK online and forms part of UKBlues' stated aim to seek to provide educational material and facilities to widen knowledge of the blues in the UK and to assist those also seeking to do the same.
Ashwyn Smyth, Chair of UKBlues said: 'We were thrilled and honoured when Peter Harvie, joint founder of the BBA, approached us to suggest an amalgamation. The BBA has a wealth of material of all sorts and Peter's approach came as our webmaster, Alan White, was in the process of setting up an Education section of our website following our decision to seek to develop this aspect of our activities. So this was a great idea that arose at the perfect time. To then have the British Blues Exhibition and Early Blues offer to work with us to further enhance this was the icing on the cake and we thank board members Darren Weale and Alan White for their generous co-operation.
The Board of UKBlues is hugely excited about the possibilities that these new partnerships and co-operations afford us as an organisation but, more importantly, the blues as a whole in the UK. They also serve to reinforce our mission to become a focal point for the blues in the UK.'
Peter Harvie of the British Blues Archive said; 'We at the British Blues Archive are delighted to be joining UK Blues. The work being done by the British Blues Archive and UK Blues complement each other and the bringing together of our strengths has created in one place a tremendous resource, the place to go to for information, history, interviews and insights on British Blues. We at the British Blues Archive are tremendously excited about the amalgamation and are looking forward to new projects ahead with UK Blues'.
We also welcome this development and the certainty that with three of the main bodies in UK Blues joining forces will be good for the future of the music in this country.
Chris Barber interviewed at 86
Jazz trombone player and bandleader Chris Barber has been performing for well over 50 years. His Jazz band included notables such as Ottillie Paterson, Skiffle legend Lonnie Donegan (Chris played double bass on Lonnie's smash hit 'Rock Island Line'), and Alexis Korner of Blues Incorporated and co-founder of the first electric Blues club in the UK, the Ealing Club, which continues to this day.
Chris was also instrumental in the arrival in the UK of American Blues greats including Muddy Waters and Big Bill Broonzy. His interactions with the Blues have continued, including his appearance at the Lead Belly Fest at the Royal Albert Hall in 2015, and interactions with artists such as Dave Kelly from The Blues Band and Eric Clapton.
Here, in his dressing room at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley, London on 19th April 2016, two days after his 86th birthday, Chris talks about his career from his earliest days until now, listen via this link for content including:
– Why he didn't play the Eel Pie Island Hotel or Chislehurst Caves (which he passed on the way to his Bromley venue) and why he liked playing Gaumont theatres
– The "fantastic" Muddy Waters – and his being compelled to play acoustic guitar – and Otis Spann
– Eric Clapton
– The Beatles and Billy Preston and The Cavern Club
– Howlin' Wolf
– Sister Rosetta Tharpe
– Jools Holland and Ruby Turner
– His father and his introduction to music, rationing and wartime evacuation and his first 78rpm records. Plus reading a book on the Blues found on a USAAF rubbish dump
– Amy Winehouse and Tony Bennett
– The trombone that he briefly plays during the interview, after unzipping it from its case
– The album 'Memories Of My Trip'
Chris Barber's website is here. Go and see him and his band!
New audio interview: Bernie Marsden and DJ Alan Hare
Bernie Marsden, guitarist with Whitesnake and UFO and others, is one of those Blues-loving British musicians who have made their mark at the heavier end of music. Here he is interviewed at the Ramblin' Man Fair 2015 by DJ Alan Hare of Hospital Radio Medway and talks about his life and influences and his latest album, Shine.
Alan is himself interviewed about his own show following Bernie's interview.

Nicky Moore announced as fifth exhibition curator/spokesman
Nicky Moore, the man known as 'The Voice' in British Blues, is the fifth Curator announced by the British Blues Exhibition, following Andy Twyman (one man band), Paul Lamb (harmonica), Roger Inniss (bass), and Jamie Pipe (keyboards).
Aspects of the British Blues Exhibition have Curators with particular relevant experience and expertise. The role of a Curator is to help build relevant content in the British Blues Exhibition and to act as a spokesman in their field of knowledge. It can have an additional aspect, to venerate the individual chosen, and Nicky Moore deserves that recognition as a premier vocalist.
Former Hackensack, Samson and Nicky Moore's Blues Corporation frontman, Nicky is now in duo Kyle & Moore with guitarist Danny Kyle.

British Blues Exhibition travels north and south
In the space of a week (30th and 31st August and 3rd September), travelling versions of the British Blues Exhibition appeared in the Great British R & B Festival 2015 in Colne, Lancashire, and at the Boisdale Canary Wharf, a venue whose Patron of Music is Jools Holland. Photos from Colne are below:
The foyer of the British Stage at Colne hosted the exhibition for two days – and the chili from the eatery next to the stand is recommended for next year. A big thank you to the organisers and staff of the festival for their help and hospitality. Onto a briefer expedition to London:
The Boisdale Canary Wharf hosted the exhibition's Briefcase Full of Blues on a night when Mike Vernon and the Mighty Combo were playing. Mike and his band played a well-paced succession of 40's, 50's, and 60's Rhythm and Blues classics and some songs from Mike's new album. Piano and keyboard master and Boisdale regular Eric Ranzoni was also present and showed off his new album at the exhibition. One play later, it proved to be a mix of covers and originals played on piano and with vocals, a barrelhouse delight reminiscent of Memphis Slim, Piano Red and Professor Longhair. For piano panache, look no further, seriously.
Thank you also to the staff of the Boisdale Canary Wharf.
Next up for the British Blues Exhibition is a Jo-Ann Kelly tribute night in Sevenoaks, Kent on 26th September, then, with a few appearances in Blues strongholds in hand, it's off to schools, colleges and places where the word of the Blues needs to be newly noticed.

New York Moves Closer to Legalizing Adult-Use, Game Changer for Cannabis Industry -- CFN Media
SEATTLE, July 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CFN Media Group ("CFN Media"), the leading agency and financial media network dedicated to the North American cannabis industry, announces publication of an article covering recent progress toward the legalization of adult-use cannabis in New York state, and MedMen Enterprise Inc.'s (CSE: MMEN) (OTCQB: MMNFF) advantageous early mover position in the market.
New York is about to be surrounded by legal weed. Medical marijuana has been legal in the Northeast and Canada for some time now, but Massachusetts and Vermont have now legalized adult use, and momentum is building in New Jersey as Gov. Phil Murphy makes good on a top campaign promise. Canada kicks off its adult-use program in October.
"For all intents and purposes it is going to be here anyway," New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo admitted as much to the New York Post in April.
And now, the New York Department of Health, which oversees the state's medical marijuana program, has essentially endorsed adult-use legalization in a recent 75-page report commissioned by Cuomo himself.
"The positive effects of a regulated marijuana market in NYS outweigh the potential negative impacts," the report concludes. "It has become less a question of whether to legalize but how to do so responsibly."
Legalization is also a hot topic of discussion as the state moves to the November elections, and there is broad support for legalized adult-use among the top candidates. Pot could soon be legal in the Big Apple and that would be a game-changer.
The New York Market
The Department of Health's report estimates there are about 1.3 million marijuana users in the state and that adult-use could reach US$3.5 billion in annual sales, about 16 times greater than today's medical marijuana market and on par with California's current retail sales estimates. California is the world's largest legal cannabis market.
Aside from sheer market size, New York would further legitimize this fast-evolving industry. Adult-use is already legal on the entire West Coast, further legalization on the Northeast of the country, a center of politics, commerce and culture, would give the industry another big push toward the mainstream, bringing more customers and investment capital.
There are only 10 cannabis license holders in the state's current medical cannabis program. Each licensee is allowed to operate a cultivation and manufacturing facility and four stores to sell its products. When the state legalizes adult-use, these licensees would meaningfully benefit from existing infrastructure and first mover advantage. They are also likely to be some of the first to receive adult-use licenses given they have already been operating under the scrutiny of the state for years.
New York state's medical marijuana program has been growing steadily and now has about 60,000 active patients. The state has expanded access by gradually increasing the list of qualifying medical conditions and variety of products allowed. Most recently, the state added opioid use as a qualifying condition, offering cannabis as a substitute. Arcview Market Research forecasts medical sales in the state will total US$219 million this year.
MedMen's Position
Among the 10 medical marijuana license holders in the state is MedMen Enterprises Inc. (CSE: MMEN) (OTCQB: MMNFF) with a flagship store on Manhattan's 5th Avenue. In sharp contrast to the other license holders in the state whose message and brands are very medical in nature, MedMen has been outwardly courting general cannabis consumers. The brand is already synonymous with cannabis retail with its shops being called the "Apple Store of Weed." MedMen's consumer brand appeals to medical marijuana patients as well. Its Manhattan store, one of only three allowed in the borough, is the company's best performing in New York state.
While the New York Department of Health report recommended that the state limit the number of licenses initially available, even if the number of licenses doubles to 20 and the number of stores each is allowed to open doubles to eight, there would be 160 stores in the state. At US$3.5 billion in annual sales, this would represent an average of US$22 million in revenue per store – consistent with the run rate of MedMen's more mature stores in California. MedMen should outperform in New York, given the brand equity it has already built with cannabis consumers. Even at average market share and applying a 5x multiple to its New York operations alone, it would result in an enterprise value of US$775 million. That would account for about half of MedMen's current enterprise value, not including the 41 stores outside New York state the company plans on opening by 2020. The company already has eight stores in California and two in Nevada and has a license to open 25 stores in Florida.
The foresight MedMen had to acquire one of only five medical marijuana licenses in New York in early 2017 seems poised to pay off handsomely. The report from the Department of Health cites other positive benefits of legalization including improved quality control and consumer protection, potentially significant tax revenue and job creation, and the potential to reduce opioid prescriptions and deaths, as well as addressing social justice concerns.

Don't worry we're here to help, here is a quick guide to help you sort through the many options and pick the perfect pressie
No, really! Sit down and make a list of all things your friend is interested in. Spend a good few minutes really thinking about it. If your friend loves Chanel, likes to read and has a shoe fetish, a book about Chanel and a gift voucher for the David Jones shoe emporium will go down a treat!
Think about the presentation, get creative with the wrapping and packaging. Create a scavenger hunt with clues where the giftee will find a little gift and clue at each location. Make it beautiful or fun, if you have spent the time to make the gift an event your mate will feel truly treasured.
Is your person a super busy buisness savvy entreprener? Give a gift they can use; how about a gorgeous diary, beautiful pen, candle or a frame to put on their desk. Has your friend just booked a trip OS? How about a leather passport travel folder or unique luggage tag. There a tons of products to make our lives easier and sometimes we don't treat ourselves to the little things.
No, not like that! Most people have a Facebook and Instagram account, have they liked a product or tagged you into something they are wishing for? Look at the pages they like, or stores they frequent to give you a better insight into their wishlist.
Think personal, special and unique! If your person is selfless and never gets a chance to spoil themselves, why not spoil them rotten. Give a piece of jewellery they could never afford, a rich decedant hand cream, a designer notebook or a leather tote.

AlphaScope: TRX Suspension Training
Date Posted:24 October 2018
Leading practitioners are finding success with TRX fitness tools and education. TRX delivers safe, scalable and effective functional training solutions that are both portable and affordable.
Why They Use TRX for Rehab
Safe and Effective Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation
Whether used for rehabilitation or prevention of musculoskeletal injuries, TRX Training is scalable to any level of fitness. The versatility of TRX Training gives you the ability to develop mobility, joint stability and strength in multiple planes of motion, all with the same piece of equipment.
Portable and Space Efficient
TRX Training tools are lightweight, portable and easy to set up. Maximize the space in your clinic and support your patients during their rehabilitation by enabling them to perform efficient exercise programs at home or on the road with TRX.
Differentiate Your Practice and Drive New Revenue
By incorporating TRX Training into your practice, you will be following the lead of numerous innovative sports medicine practitioners who are using it as part of individualized or group therapy, post-rehabilitation, prevention, and fitness programs.
"Restoring function is the cornerstone of orthopaedic/sports medicine rehabilitation. This is accomplished through normalizing the biomechanics of the affected region followed by appropriate muscle re-education and strength training to allow safe return to activity. The TRX provides a means to functionally train synergistic muscle groups to the affected region, it allows exercises to be performed in physiological movement patterns, and it improves kinesthetic and proprioceptive responsiveness. These principals are instrumental to achieving optimum results in the rehabilitation process. By allowing the patient to maintain complete control over the resistance used with each exercise, the TRX provides a safe yet challenging way to achieve optimum recovery and it has quickly become my favourite piece of equipment."

INTRO – Lenoir County is an area extremely cognizant of its Civil War history. If you visit Kinston's website, tops on the list of things to do surround its Civil War past. So as conscious of its history as Lenoir County is, the fact that in this 21st century there was a prominent Civil War personality left to discover was a surprise to a local author. George Olsen has more
For those with an interest in the Civil War Kinston is a must-stop. You have the remains of a Civil War ironclad as the centerpiece of a museum, a full replica of that same vessel, two battlefields, and historic homes dating from that period. In regards to history, Kinston doesn't seem to forget details. So when Lenoir County resident Jim Gaddis stumbled upon the name of a prominent figure of the state's Civil War period who was born and raised in-and-around Kinston and couldn't recall having heard the name before, it was a major surprise.
"I'm not really a Civil War buff or a student of the Civil War but I have an interest in it and I was thumbing through a one-volume Civil War encyclopedia and I saw a little blurb that said Gen. Richard C. Gatlin, born in Lenoir County, NC and that popped right out at me because Lenoir County is where I live. I'd never heard of him before, so I guess curiosity got the better of me."
That curiosity resulted in Jim Gaddis authoring the book "Richard Gatlin and the Confederate Defense of Eastern North Carolina." Richard Caswell Gatlin wasn't just a General during the Civil War… at one time in North Carolina Gatlin was THE General in North Carolina… a Brigadier General who commanded the Confederate Department of North Carolina and charged with the defense of his native state. But despite his ties to Lenoir County, he's somewhat unknown, even more surprising given he comes by his middle name of Caswell honestly… he was Gov. Richard Caswell's grandson, Caswell being the state's first revolutionary governor, the same Caswell with a memorial site on Kinston's Vernon Avenue. So given Gatlin's prestigious title and his family ties, how come he's not better known? You could put it all down to bad timing.
"Well, Gatlin took over August 21st officially and became the commander of the NC Department and of course a week later before Gatlin could even establish his headquarters the Union attacked and captured Hatteras Island and Forts Clark and Hatteras were taken and the other forts along the coast at Oregon Inlet and Ocracoke were abandoned by their garrisons."
A week into his command in 1861 and the bulk of his coastal defenses were overrun by the Union. And that was a sign of the way things would go for Gatlin
"He actually kept his Confederate command until the fall of New Bern in March 1862. That's when he was relieved of his command, but between that time and August of 1863, about a year-and-a-half he had no active service in the war. He was sick. He suffered from recurring bouts of malaria from his days back in the Indian Territory as a young lieutenant. During the battle of New Bern he fell ill with this fever and could not go to New Bern to assist in the battle there."
And that was indicative of Gatlin's time as a Confederate general… though perhaps also indicative of Gatlin's time in the military as well. A West Point graduate, he was invited to accompany an expedition during the 1832 Blackhawk War in Illinois. It was to be Gatlin's first exposure to battle and he boarded a steamboat to cross the Great Lakes from New York to Illinois to be a part of war. But Gatlin never faced that particular enemy. Another reared its head during the crossing.
"While their boats were traversing the Great Lakes they got into Detroit and cholera had broken out on one of the boats and it was like a mad house, from what I understand. As soon as they docked about 40 miles north of Detroit, men jumped off the boat and ran into the woods just to get away from the scourge. So Gatlin and his other military academy classmates, who thought they were going to be involved in the, I guess, the excitement of war, at least experience a military expedition for the first time, were instead greeted with this death, this sickness, and several … many, many of the soldiers died. He only experienced what most people know the Army knows as its greatest foe… disease… so it was an early experience for Gatlin that I'm sure stayed in his mind for the rest of his life."
Still, Gatlin served extensively as a U-S Army officer… the Seminole Wars, the Mexican-American War… and when he came to his Confederate command, he had come to expect a certain support from the government in war time. But when he did, he soon found serving with the Confederacy was not the same as his prior service.
"Gatlin, of course, being a military man, assumed that he would get the kind of support he needed. He put forth a plan to the Confederacy for the defense, or building fortifications, in Wilmington, and also New Bern and Roanoke Island and… but he basically got no response. He got no troops. Just a few regiments were raised in NC but most of those were shipped off to Virginia where things were really heating up, and the Confederate war department, I think, they had their hands full. They were concerned about defending Richmond from Federal attack and capture and didn't really have much time for NC. Gatlin expected that he would get the kind of support he needed because in the regular military when orders were issued and things were requisitioned they were done. But not so with the Confederate government. They just didn't have the resources, so Gatlin was pretty much on his own."
And hence, Gatlin's near anonymity in his native state. Gatlin did continue to serve in the state after losing his command… he became the state's adjutant general… basically in charge of military support activities such as clothing troops… a necessary function but one that doesn't deliver much in the way of headlines. Gatlin left the state after the war… returning to Arkansas, where he had been stationed prior to leaving the U-S Army… and that may also have something to do with the lack of recognition in his native state. But he also didn't apparently seek that recognition either. Gaddis says Gatlin kept meticulous records serving as North Carolina's adjutant general during the Civil War but when it came to writing on his own life and times… not so much.
"He was very low key. I mention in the book his writings are generally very terse. He doesn't use a lot of words and he certainly doesn't use any flowery language. His military stance was that he had people working for him. It was the position of the leading officer to direct these people and let them do the work but also give them their head to do what they needed to do. He was a low-key guy and didn't seek a lot of glory. He just wanted to get his job done. That was his military training and he carried that out."
Jim Gaddis is a Lenoir County resident and author of "Richard Gatlin and the Confederate Defense of Eastern North Carolina" published by the History Press. I'm George Olsen.

If I offered you the choice between a three-week journey through Europe or a one day trip, which would you take? A no-brainer. Right? The reason people go on a vacation is to transform from a stressed-out, over-worked, worry-wart to a more relaxed individual. The vacation journey is all about exploring, seeing new things and enjoying that time. That certainly doesn't happen in a day. So why would anyone expect a leader to transform in a day…especially first-time leaders?
Being a leader, in and of itself, is a all about a journey in which people face challenges, and as a result, they grow and transform over time. To truly help a leader transform and get the most out of leadership development efforts, we as learning and development professionals must continuously provide the right environment for leaders to broaden their knowledge, skills, and experiences and apply what they have learned in their jobs. This requires more than an event or even a series of events. It takes a journey.
So what is a learning journey, and how do you make it work? I covered just that in a recent webinar I hosted with HR.com, in which I shared three keys to effectively transform training events to learning journeys:

Town seeks Gregg's help for rest of Main Street
by Art McGrath
write the author
July 29, 2009
LITTLETON—With Main Street well underway, the town is looking to U.S. Sen. Judd Gregg for money to help pay for rebuilding the second half of Main Street and moving the town offices to the Opera House.
Gregg was instrumental in securing federal funds to pay for the ongoing reconstruction project, money that the town was able to hold onto for years of delays in the project.
"Senator, at the risk of seeming greedy, we ask for your help in obtaining a portion of the funding for one or both projects," selectmen wrote in a July 22 letter to Gregg.
When the town received $3 million of federal funds back when the project was first proposed, it was to pay for the entire length of Main Street. After delays and money spent on planning, the remaining $2.2 million last year was only enough to pay for a portion. Despite securing more funds before this year's town meeting vote, the current project will only rebuild Main Street from the Opera House to the Post Office.
As noted in the letter to Gregg, 95 percent of the planning for Main Street Part II is completed. This would finish reconstructing Main Street from the Post Office to the corner with Meadow Street. It was on the town meeting warrant last year, but would have been paid for entirely by town tax revenues. It failed.
The selectmen are also looking for Gregg's help to get funding to pay for putting the town offices into the recently completed Opera House. The selectmen noted in their letter that it would cost an estimated $5,000 to move the town offices out of their current location above Laconia Savings Bank. These funds would include refurbishing space inside the historic building as well as buying new furniture, as most of the current furniture the town uses belongs to the bank.
The town pays about $7,000 annually for the use its current space above the bank.
During last week's Board of Selectmen meeting, the board authorized Town Manager Chuck Connell to begin planning a design-build proposal to refurbish space in the Opera House for the offices. This would be done using only current town resources, as there are no funds in the budget to hire an architect, selectmen noted.
Connell presented a hand-drawn diagram made by a town employee of what the employees envision for the space inside the building.
No timeframe was given for when Connell would present his proposal, though the selectmen said they would like an article on next year's warrant for town meeting requesting funds for engineering. In 2011 they hope to have a warrant article authorizing the construction.
The same day the selectmen sent a letter to Gregg, they also sent a letter to U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and U.S. Rep. Paul Hodes seeking their assistance getting federal funds for alarm and sprinkler systems for town buildings.

The Icelandic fishing industry in many ways seems to stand at crossroads now. For the past 15 years or so the demand for fish has been more than the supply. Therefore Icelandic fish has been quite easy to sell. With more competition, where Iceland's main competitors in ground fish production are getting close to the quality of the Icelandic fish and are able to sell it at lower prices. The world is getting smaller and Iceland has competitors they haven't had to deal with before, countries like China where fish farming of unfamiliar species like tilapia are gaining a lot of market share on the expense of other whitefish species that might be considered more traditional in Iceland.
Icelandic fish- producers and exporters have a lot of experience in processing and selling premium quality fish from a sustainable sources. They are mainly selling exporting their products to wholesalers and secondary processor who take the raw material from Iceland and add to the value.
Although a lot of the value is created outside of Iceland there is still a significant part of the value created just by catching the fish and portioning it correctly.
There are certain trade barriers that stop the producers and exporters to be able to further process the fish in Iceland to export it later. These barriers are mainly distance to market and high transportation costs.
Icelandic fish is a premium product and can be sold for quite high prices in the right markets. In some cases it can be sold without too many intermediary parties and therefore for more profit than with the intermediary parties.

Today is my 27th birthday – closer to 30 than 20… WTF!!
Now I know what you're thinking, "This girl over here is still in her 20's and she thinks she's old, just wait until she hits 40, 50, 60, etc." Let me start off by saying that that is in no way my thoughts. It is truly and honestly so surreal to me that I am 27 and to see everything I have accomplished while also looking ahead and seeing the plans my husband and I have for our future and all the things we still have left to accomplish.
As cliché as it may sound, the older I get the more appreciative I have become. In a sense, I guess it also feels crazy to me that I am 27 because I feel older at heart. I've always considered myself an old soul and have often been told that I am wise beyond my years. If I had to guess, I'd say this is a combination of growing up with a chronic illness, being raised by one hell of a strong ass woman – my mother – and becoming a nurse.
I've learned to be kind, grateful and thankful for what I have because there is always, and I mean ALWAYS someone who has it worse than you. I've learned to be mindful of life because it is so incredibly fragile and tomorrow is never guaranteed. I've become a firm believer in "everything happens for a reason", even if that reason is hard to understand and doesn't make sense at the moment. I've learned that a relationship with God is so important and that praying for each blessing in your life is good for the soul – although I have to be honest and say this is something I am still working on. And if I am being completely transparent with you all, I still have days (many) where I struggle with the things said above. But I am not a perfect person and I don't believe there is one out there. I am fortunate enough to be living the life I have, have the family and husband that I do and also a job that I find very humbling, grounding and rewarding. This emphasizes the fact to enjoy the simple things in life, which is exactly what I did today!
My birthday went exactly as I had imagined and as I am sitting here getting ready to tell you about my day, there's a huge smile and a full heart sitting behind your computer screen typing these words. Today, I slept in and cuddled my fur babies, enjoyed a cup of my favorite coffee at 2pm (yes, you read that correctly), and binge watched a TV series. When my husband came home from work, he made one of my favorite meals which is any type of pasta. Backstory: It was my first birthday spent in our new home, 3 years ago, and my husband surprised me with a home cooked dinner, the noodle kind. Talk about a happy girl! It was some sort of version of chicken alfredo and man was it good! I believe the term is food-gasm – HA! But each year since, I've asked for essentially a repeat of the year before. A night in, enjoying my favorite meal with my favorite person and our dogs. The funny part is my husband never saves the recipe so each year he has to look up a new one because he can never find the previous one. Is it appropriate to say, "typical man?" All jokes aside, it is always a delicious dinner and good quality time spent together. The rest of the evening was spent relaxing on the couch, cuddling our pups and watching TV. These little things wrapped up into memories made are what make me more and more appreciative each and every day!
What do you remember about your 27th birthday? And if you are someone reading this and have yet to turn 27, soak it up! Enjoy every last minute of every last day because each year just goes by faster and faster.
Much love,
