Another reason to join Local Food Connect
As discussed in more detail in the new events' section, Penny Woodward is giving a workshop on growing garlic. Tickets are $30 but free to paid-up members of Local Food Connect. Click here if you would like to become a paid-up member of LFC, or renew your membership (from $10 pa).
Another free source of coffee husks
Knight Mattingly Coffee Roasters. 5 Milkman Way, Coburg North. Ring Ruth in advance (9383 2100). Minimum quantity: 240 litres. Pick up: Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Thanks to Marina Bistrin for developing this connection.
Note that coffee husks are not at all the same thing as used coffee grounds. Rather, the husk is the outer layer of the coffee bean that breaks away and gets discarded during the roasting process. So, whilst used coffee grounds are available from cafes, coffee husks are available from roasters.
As listed on our resources page, Quists Coffee, based on Research, are also a free source of coffee husks.
Mac's tip of the week
"There seems to be quite a bit of citrus leafminer around at the moment so head out and check the new growth on your citrus for the telltale tracks. Google 'citrus leafminer' for more info and organic control methods. Until next time, remember: short tips are often the most useful ones."
So, I googled as Mac suggested and two of my favourite sites have articles on the subject: Gardening Australia and Sustainable Gardening Australia. Then I noticed something very odd – both articles contain the following statement: "Spray with horticultural oil to deter the moth from laying new eggs. The oil won't kill the larvae which is why it's important to remove any infested growth. Spray first thing in the morning to avoid spraying beneficial insects which are less active at this time. This also reduces the chance of burning foliage." Yes, that's right, two articles by different (named) authors and one has clearly copied material from the other. So, as I said and Sophia Loren then copied from me (or was it the other way round?): "Everything you see I owe to spaghetti."
A local winner at The Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show
As discussed in the 22nd March newsletter, newsletter reader Paul Morland displayed his Four R's designed and built garden in the Achievable Garden category at The Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show. Well, he won 3rd prize! Well done, Paul!
What to plant when
Viv Bortot has written in to suggest that you might be interested in Gardenate.com. It has three different manifestations, for each of which you can choose your climate zone (e.g. 'Australia – temperate' for Melbourne):
- The website itself: view a list of what can be planted in the current month or view a planting schedule for any veggie/herb.
- An Android app: similar functionality to the website and (I think) it can also be used offline.
- Their newsletter: subscribe to get weekly, fortnightly or monthly reminders of what to plant.
The list of veggies and herbs covered is comprehensive (more so than mine). Its planting schedule is similar to mine, with the exceptions of brassicas and cucurbits (where it is somewhat idiosyncratic).
A map of Eltham's takeaways
I've now finished the third of my trilogy of Eltham eateries, namely a map of Eltham's and Research's takeaways. The map shows where all the 35 takeaways are, their contact details and their menus. Of the 35 takeaways, 7 also deliver. The most common takeaway is pizza (8 eateries).
This is the third, and last, map of Eltham's eateries, with the other two covering cafes and restaurants. In total, there are 66(!) eateries in Eltham, Eltham North and Research.
If you want me to produce some maps for your suburb, just email me.
'Crowd harvest' tomatoes for Easter
People are invited to donate their homegrown excess tomatoes over the next week (up until 12th April). Anyone growing tomatoes in their own backyard usually produces excess. By contrast, Melbourne food relief providers are currently being faced with higher demand for emergency assistance than they can manage. Donate your excess via any of DIVRS, Preston, Liberty Church, Epping, STREAT, Collingwood or The Green @ St. Columbs, Hawthorn. They will then distribute, either fresh or preserved (as passata, chutney, sundried or dell'olio), through their food relief programs. Any questions, contact Cath Lyons (aka Tiny Trowel) by phone (0401 814679) or email.
Joke of the week
This week's joke comes from Susan Palmer: Did you hear about the woman who drowned in a bowl of muesli? A strong currant pulled her in.
Edible leaves
I rather like this picture. Inter alia, it includes my current favourite veggie for home growing: golden frills, which is a variety of mustard greens.

How to Become a Geologist
Petroleum geologists use their know-how in a variety of settings and in a multitude of applications worldwide. Their work can be exciting and challenging, but becoming a geoscientist in the oil and natural gas industry demands that one acquire a broad set of technical, conceptual and practical skills.
Aspiring geologists who decide early on that they want to work in the oil and gas industry often choose to matriculate at colleges and universities with well-established petroleum geology programs, said Allyson Anderson Book, executive director of the American Geosciences Institute (AGI) and a petroleum geologist by training.
"Some programs have strong petroleum coursework," explained Anderson Book. "If a student decides they want to pursue an oil and gas career, there are schools whose students are routinely sought after by employers."
To be sure, some geoscience students only begin to consider oil and gas career options midway through their studies. In fact, Anderson Book – who holds bachelor's and master's degrees in geology and has worked as a petrophysicist/senior geoscientist with ExxonMobil – counts herself among that group.
An accredited geology program often will require students to complete field work as well as fundamental coursework in areas such as:
- Mineralogy/crystallography
- Sedimentology
- Stratigraphy
- Structural geology
- Seismology
- Surficial processes (geomorphology)
- Historical geology
- Petrography
- Geophysics
Beyond fulfilling core geology course requirements, would-be petroleum geologists take courses emphasizing oil and gas industry applications within these and other branches of geology. In addition, geology students build their analytical skills by completing courses in subjects such as math, chemistry and physics.
"Geoscience is really the nexus of all scientific disciplines, so it is no surprise that to be successful you need strong analytical skills and a broad knowledge of all sciences," said Anderson Book.
After Earning a Bachelor's in Geology
With a bachelor's degree, an entry-level petroleum geoscientist can work for a service company in a wellsite capacity – such as mudlogger – or in a computer-support position, Anderson Book said. She added that an oil and gas operating company, meanwhile, might hire such individuals for technical support-type roles. Geology graduates can also work for government agencies as program managers, wellsite inspectors and other, less technical roles, said Anderson Book. This joint website of the UK-based The Geological Society and University Geoscience UK provides an overview of geology specialty areas applicable to oil and gas roles.
After earning their bachelor's, newly minted petroleum geoscientists may also wish to pursue more specialized training in master's and doctoral degree programs. The additional credential can help one to qualify for positions of greater responsibility. Given the cyclical nature of the oil and gas industry, getting an advanced degree might also give one an edge during bust periods.
"Frankly, in tough market conditions, hiring is restricted and in order to be competitive most candidates will need a master's level education for the majority of upstream technical positions," said Anderson Book. "My advice for any individual who really wants a career in the oil patch as a geoscientist is to acquire a master's level geoscience degree."
Educational credentials notwithstanding, completing one or more relevant internships while in school can boost one's marketability with oil and gas employers, added Anderson Book.
"At some point in the academic experience, aspiring petroleum geoscientists need to get some on the-job-experience," Anderson Book pointed out, adding that student interns enjoy a variety of options for gaining "real-world" exposure.
For instance, Anderson Book noted that students can hone their technical skills over a summer or two by working on a drilling rig, interpreting seismic or conducting site characterization. Anderson Book herself completed a "conventional" internship with ExxonMobil that helped her to build her proficiency – and get noticed by the company. She pointed out that interning is "essentially one long job interview."
The internship "really expanded my knowledge of gravity/magnetics surveying – something I had no applied experience with," Anderson Book recalled. "In that internship, it was reiterated to me that I need to focus on technical excellence first. I did and learned a lot at that summer internship – it led directly to full-time employment at ExxonMobil several months after the internship ended."
Less traditional internship paths may emphasize other areas such as oil and gas policy, added Anderson Book. For instance, her Alexandria, Va.-based organization hires interns who get the opportunity to meet with government officials at the federal, state and local levels while working on policy and issues that are critical to geoscience professionals. Other AGI interns work as science writers for AGI's magazine, EARTH.
Internships can also provide clarity about one's geoscience career path, noted Anderson Book.
"Often students do not know 'for sure' what specialty to pursue," Anderson Book said. "For many students, an internship can be illustrative in what a student may 'not' want to pursue for a long-term career. How wonderful that is to know so early on that a particular focus area or job is not what you want to do!"

4 Tips For Selecting the Right Roofing Contractors
You should consult with the roofing contractor anytime you want to replace your roof or are looking for the right material. Before hiring any roofing contractor there are questions you should ask yourself to ensure you're getting the right services. Having the best roof means that your home is protected from intruders and harsh weather conditions so you should work with a professional.
House Experience Is the Roofing Contractor?
When choosing the right roofing contractor, it is best to check how long they have been in the industry. The professional roofing contractor will always have a good reputation and ensure they are delivering the right services to their clients. You can also go for consultations with a roofing contractor to ensure they know what you want and the right materials for your home.
What Are the Contractor Should Have
Safety precautions to be taken due to the nature of these roofers should do so check to see if they are following the safety repercussions. The contractor will normally have permit and licenses after every job they have performed which proves they have gotten the training necessary.Quality roofing contractors will normally have insurance coverage that protects the employees when they are injured or when their client's property has been damaged during installation of the roof.
Consider What They Have Done Before
If the contractor does a good job than there are pictures to prove so which can be found on their websites plus clients can advertise their services. If you want to get the best customer service then you should ensure they are roofing contractor from GreenForm Boise treated previous clients without most respect and professionalism. You should hire a company which will update you and the installation of the roof and make sure you understand what will be happening throughout the process.
Know How Much Roofing Services Will Cost
You should take time and communicate with different roofing contractors who will be able to give you estimate of their services. Take time and ask around from people you trust regarding the best roofing contractor near you and how you can get in touch with them. Clients need to take time and read the terms and conditions of the contract which will protect them against any hidden charges with the roofing contractor.
Homeowner should question the roofing contractor regarding doing the job again in case they are not satisfied with what the roofing contractor has done. The best roofing contractor will ensure there are minimal errors while installing the roof and give the homeowner tips on how they can maintain their roofing material. Roofing contractors can offer maintenance services but you should consult with them to know how much the maintenance will cost and the duration they will take.

The Top Reasons Why You Should Buy Your Custom Tools from A Reputable Manufacturer
Most of the tools which you will find in the market are made to be used for general tasks. Most of the general tools are sold over-the-counter in the hardware shops, and you will realize that some of the general tools will not be sufficient for your business to meet its needs. If you want to be in a position where you can meet the needs of your business more effectively, they will be a need for you to use custom tools. By reading this article, you will read more on some of the top advantages of buying custom tools from the best manufacturer.
The first reason why you should use custom tools from a reputable manufacturer is that you're going to boost the productivity of your business. When using custom tools in your business, you will personalize them to a size and shape which will make it easier for your employees to work with the tool and therefore helping to improve the productivity of the business. The danger of using non-customized tools in your business is that your employees will find it difficult to utilize the tools in the tasks fully and they will, therefore, take more time in executing the tasks which will lower the productivity of your business.
Another top reason why you should use custom tools from the best manufacturer is that they will provide you with high-quality custom tools. When you use the custom tools purchased from a reputable manufacturer, you will be assured of high-quality custom tools because reputable manufacturers only use high-quality when making their products. When you use custom tools that are made using high-quality components, you will not only be guaranteed of being able to increase the value which you offer your customers but also the custom tools will be durable. When you use the high-quality custom tools from the best manufacturer you will save a huge portion of money because you will not be required to replace the high-quality custom tools due to their enhanced strength.
It is also beneficial for you to use custom tools in your business because you will be able to minimize the equipment which you use in the core activities of your business. It is worthy to mention that most businesses will require a lot of different tools to complete certain tasks within its operations. The advantage of using custom tools is that they can be tailor-made to execute many tasks at which is not the case if you were to use generalized tools. For those who are interested in discovering more about the best custom tools, visit this site.

Wisdom tooth extraction is a surgical procedure that requires some post-operative care to reduce the chance of infection or other complications. Immediately after surgery, a gauze pad will be placed over the extraction site, which should not be removed for at least 45 minutes, and then discarded after that. Refrain from drinking from a straw or rinsing the mouth to ensure that you do not dislodge the blood clot that has formed. Limit your activities that day. You can resume your regular activities the following day. Take the pain medication as prescribed to reduce the amount of discomfort you feel after the local anesthetic wears off. As with any oral surgery, refrain from drinking through a straw as doing so creates suction and may disrupt the sutures.

What Trees Will Grow in the Shade?
Image by Flickr.com, courtesy of Dave
Many species of trees can flourish in the shade. Most of these types tolerate partial shade and need just a little direct sunlight from time to time. Other varieties will grow with no direct sunlight at all.
Levels of Shade
Partial shade occurs when sunlight is blocked for most of the day, but reaches the tree for 2 to 4 hours per day. Full shade occurs when less than 2 hours of direct sunlight reaches the tree. In full shade there may be some reflected light from light or bright surfaces nearby, even if no direct sun reaches the ground.
Evergreens in Partial Shade
According to the Arbor Day Foundation, many species of fir and pine trees tolerate partial shade including Douglas Fir, Noble Fir, White Pine and Lodgepole Pine. Other evergreen trees that will grow in partial shade include American Holly, Coast Redwood, Purple Rhododendron, Black Hills Spruce, and Atlas Cedar.
Deciduous in Partial Shade
Various birch, maple and oak varieties tolerate partial shade including Paper Birch, Silver Birch, Sugar Maple, Silver Maple, White Oak and Water Oak. Weeping Willow also tolerates partial shade, as do Ginkgo, Japanese Flowering Cherry and Witchhazel, among other deciduous trees.
Evergreens in Full Shade
Boxwood will tolerate full shade.
Deciduous in Full Shade
Dogwood and Japanese Maple thrive in full shade.

Preheat the oven to 170°C. Cake:Grease and line a 23cm round cake tin, and set aside. In a large bowl, sift together the dry ingredients (flour, spices, bicarb, baking powder and salt). Make a large well in the centre and in a separate bowl mix the eggs, oil, sugar and syrup. Pour the wet ingredients into the well in the dry ingredients and whisk well until there are no lumps. Add in the carrot and the nuts and pour into the prepared tin. Bake for approximately an hour and a half until a skewer comes away clean. Leave to cool slightly in the tin before turning it out, and leave it too cool completely before icing.Icing:Beat the butter until light and smooth. Add the cream cheese and beat until they are combined. Add in the icing sugar and the flavouring and mix gently. Once combined spread the icing on the top and sides of the cake as desired.

City Centre 'Lost Opportunity Site'?
The Abbey, the Gatehouse, the Clock Tower, the Museum + Gallery, Samuel Ryder's Seed Hall, the Fighting Cocks, Verulamium Museum – St Albans is not short of impressive and attractive buildings that raise one's spirits. You will have your favourites. Most areas of the city have varied, attractive building stock. But there's the area between the old police station on Victoria Street and the Alban Arena. Seven depressed and depressing acres are up for redevelopment and the Council brands it 'Civic Centre Opportunity Site South' (CCOSS).
An opportunity indeed! To replace that collection of soulless monuments to the decades of architectural bankruptcy with a landmark development that will revitalise the area and make a positive contribution to our streetscape. There are concerns, however, that it might result in the 'City Centre Lost Opportunity Site'.
The Council, having bought the bulk of the site, has initially adopted an existing planning consent granted to a private developer. That might well limit the scope to produce something of real quality. Instead we might get tinkering at the edges. To be fair the Council has acknowledged that its plans need improvement. It is a pity that, rather than coming forward with a new vision, what it proposes at present are essentially cosmetic changes to make the scheme 'more St Albans'.
This was apparent at the Council-organised 'Community Design Review'. The 27 volunteer participants (out of a community of 145,000!) were asked how elements of the current scheme could be 'improved'. There was virtual unanimity about the 'monolithic' nature of the proposed blocks, so all that was up for discussion was design detail.
Certainly there were worthwhile contributions which, if adopted, would improve elements of the scheme. Ideally, the Civic Society would have liked a competition for the design concept, and far wider public involvement and debate, including re-engagement with local interest groups. A market stall would have been better than the poorly advertised and attended Civic Centre exhibition.
The Civic Society's Design Advisory Group have met several times with the developer in order to improve the quality of the design. It hopes to continue this dialogue with the Council. It agrees with Councillor Daly that this is an exciting project. The latest planning drafts show signs that people are listening to concerns and suggestions, particularly over elevations.
On the 7th March a 'Design Review Panel', made up of experienced architects, examined the development plans and voiced some of the same criticisms that have been made by the Civic Society. Their report will be published shortly.
We do not want history to repeat itself with a new generation having to put up with a second-rate and anonymous development. That would just be more of the same. The Society will continue to work with the Council in an attempt to deliver a development that St Albans can be proud of!
The Society was pleased to have been engaged in the process of developing the CCOSS scheme and, although there have been concerns about the concept of the project, based upon the Angle permitted plan, the Design Advisory Group recognise the considerable amount of work that has gone into the development of the project. Click here to read our CCOSS comments.
Planning Application
Following the submission of a planning application, the Civic Society meeting on CCOSS on 23 September 2019 was attended by just over 40 people (in fact not bad for a wet and windy evening). Cllr Robert Donald, and Council Officers Tony Marmo and Jenny Stenzel gave a presentation. However, it is now VERY important that everyone gives their view on this massive development which will last for many, many years and is being built at taxpayers' expense. You have until 29 October to do this and over 50 responses have been submitted already. This is now the last chance to approve, modify or oppose these plans.
Our Committee unanimously supported a decision to submitted an objection. You can read our letter here In summary it says that "although supportive in principle to the mixed development of this site our objection is to the appearance of the current proposal ….. we do not see in this application the "listed buildings of the future" sought in the CCOS Development Brief / Supplementary Planning Document July 2012. Indeed what we do see is a lost opportunity to create "a landmark building as a key gateway feature" at the Victoria Street / Bricket Road corner envisaged in the CCOS Development Brief…." Our reasons for objection to this application and the efforts we have made prior to the planning application being submitted are set out here.
The planning application 5/2019/2001 (has been withdrawn. It is now important that any new plans :
- enhance St Albans through excellent quality of design and detail – a 'wow' factor;
- have high levels of sustainability and greening;
- avoid being entirely driven by cost;
- not be designed by committee;
- and reflect the character and uniqueness of St Albans (respecting the Conservation Area).
CCOSS and CCOSN should create a legacy that every citizen of St Albans can be proud about!

Global Warming is universal--posted by Tony Garcia on 9/21/2005
It seems that polar ice deposits are shrinking in the south pole. In fact, according to NASA scientists it seems that Global Warming is a universal thing.
Because it is happening on Mars. Now how the hell will the global-warming chicken-littles figure out how to double talk this one?
And for three Mars summers in a row, deposits of frozen carbon dioxide near Mars' south pole have shrunk from the previous year's size, suggesting a climate change in progress.Eeks, I guess that means the California Emissions Standards were not strong enough. If only Kyoto were signed 4 years ago it would have prevented the Universe Warming. We're all doomed.
Oh, I guess that would not have been in time..."Mars years are nearly twice as long as Earth years". Maybe if Kyoto were created back when the "climate change" fanatics were preaching about the next ice age we could have prevented this tragedy.
In all seriousness this leads more weight to the hard scientists that have been saying "climate change" is not at all influenced by us humans. We can neither cause it nor prevent it. The "scientists" that overwhelmingly agree that evil humans are the cause of any type of climate change are for the most part SOCIAL scientists...you know, like sociologists, psychologist, philosophers and political scientists. To them I would suggest they go back to their own "science" and concentrate on perfecting their own practices.

Sisense acquisition of Periscope yields versatile BI platform
By Mark Labbe
The Sisense merger with Periscope Data is expected to create a new, combined BI product that will cater to casual business users and advanced data scientists alike.
Sisense Inc. has acquired Periscope Data in a deal that will see the business analytics vendors merge under the Sisense name.
Revealed May 14, the deal is priced at well over $100 million, according to Amir Orad, CEO of New York-based Sisense.
Coming together
"Merging with Periscope Data just made sense," Orad said.
"It's a strong combination of analytic apps and powerful business insights. The products match, the cultures match and both companies have a strong customer focus," he continued.
The Sisense acquisition of Periscope Data, a 2012 BI startup based in San Francisco that had been seen as a close rival to BI vendor Looker, is set to produce a combined business intelligence platform by the end of the year.
Sisense and Periscope Data have typically catered to separate users, so the platform merger makes sense, Forrester analyst Boris Evelson said.
More versatile platform
Sisense has mainly targeted business professionals, with its drag-and-drop user interface that keeps its machine learning algorithms easy to use; it is housed in a black box and isolates users from having to know languages like SQL, R or Python. Its products, such as the Sisense Hunch tool, are fairly easy to use for casual users.
Periscope Data, meanwhile, has a more detailed interface that requires real coding knowledge and is designed for data scientists.
"The acquisition of Periscope Data gives Sisense an opportunity to address a gap that exists between these two market segments," Evelson said.
With the Sisense acquisition of Periscope, Sisense will now be able to address a broader market that includes data scientists and data engineers, Evelson said.
The Sisense platform, pictured here, will merge with Periscope Data's platform after Sisense acquired the company.
According to Harry Glaser, CEO and co-founder of Periscope Data, that appears to be the plan.
The combined platform will let users do the advanced analyses they could do with Periscope Data while operationalizing them through Sisense, he said.
"It's a very powerful combination," Glaser said.
Periscope users will see sustained service
Periscope customers will not see a lapse in service, Glaser said. Instead, the vendor will accelerate its existing roadmap as new and upcoming features integrate into a combined Sisense platform.
"We are merging the companies to create something that is larger than the sum of its parts," Glaser said. "We are adopting elements of each other's culture, merging the products and merging the teams in a way that is really exciting for us and our customers.
"Our customers will have access to more tools, more quickly as a benefit of us being a combined company. This will be all good news for them," he added.
Most Sisense and Periscope employees will remain unaffected by the merger — of the 700 combined employees, fewer than a dozen overlap.
Sisense maintains offices around the world, with headquarters in New York and principal offices in San Francisco and Tel Aviv, Israel.

Are the writers really exploited in Bollywood?
As the High Court allows film-maker Kunal Kohli to release his next after a writer filed a copyright violation complaint against him, we get makers and writers to discuss the current state of affairs.bollywood Updated: Jul 09, 2015 14:43 IST
Recently, writer Jyoti Kapoor filed a copyright infringement complaint against film-maker Kunal Kohli for allegedly stealing her idea for his film. On July 6, the Bombay High Court ordered an out-of-court settlement, and allowed Kohli to release his film.
Of late, there have been several instances of suchconfrontations between writers and film-makers in Bollywood. "I know a lot of writer friends who have faced issues with film-makers. I don't understand why producers do not give them credit," says writer Kapil Chopra, who had filed and won a copyright infringement case against the makers of Jannat 2 (2012) a few years back.
Matter of opinion
While writers continue to cry foul for not being acknowledged for their work, producers have a different opinion. "It is a wrong thing to say (that writers don't get credit). Had that been the case, then writers like Rajat Arora, Himanshu Sharma, Juhi Chaturvedi and Anvita Dutt would not have been acknowledged. There are many writers entering the industry and producers are accepting them," says producer Ramesh Taurani.
However, the Film Writers Association (FWA) wants to make the producers aware of the increasing cases of plagiarism. "It is very convenient for makers to say that writers are not facing issues with regards to being credited for their work. But every month, on an average, three to four cases of copyright infringement are filed at the FWA. Mostly, new writers face such issues. They are exploited and cheated by film-makers. There has been an increase in the number of cases over the last decade," says Kamlesh Pandey, secretary, FWA.
Inside story
Talking about the repercussions of not crediting the writers, trade expert Vinod Mirani says, "It (the exploitation) has been happening for long, and that's why the industry does not have too many good writers. They (film-makers) want to pay the stars, but not the writers." Kapil adds, "Many writers are getting into film direction to earn money even when it is not their forte, since the industry does not encourage writers."
But producers don't buy this perspective. Film-maker Ramesh Sippy says, "The film industry is welcoming talented writers. There are many new ones, and they are doing great work. Bollywood is producing a lot of films based on fresh concepts, written by new and young talents."
Case files
1. Om Shanti Om (2007): Writer Ajay Monga apparently took themakers of this film to court for lifting the plot from a script that he originally wrote.
2. Fashion (2008): A copyright infringement case was filed by Seema Seth against director Madhur Bhandarkar as the film was reportedly a copy of her book, titled Eldorado.
3. Ra.One (2011): Writer Yash Patnaik took Shah Rukh Khan to court for apparently plagiarising the former's story.
4. Jannat 2 (2012): Writer Kapil Chopra sued the makers of the Emraan Hashmi-starrer for copyright violation.
5. Desi Boyz (2011): When writer Shyam Devkatte discovered that his story was beingused to make the film without his knowledge, he lodged a complaint against the makers of the movie.

In December the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) released their required annual report on the Michigan Medical Marihuana Program (MMP).
The latest numbers show 131,287 medical marijuana patient cards issued in just 2016, which represents only one year of the two-year registration program. The LARA report states the total number of medical marijuana patients enrolled in Michigan's program is up to 218,556- a 20% increase over the two-year total reported in 2015 of 182,081 patients.
2016 saw an 11% increase in the number of caregivers registered. 38,107 caregivers are now registered to grow medicinal cannabis for their patients in Michigan, up from 34,269 in 2015.
The program has always been a money-maker for the state. LARA took in registration fees totaling $9,841,058.49 from cannabis patients and caregivers in FY 2016 alone. The Department also spent $5,293,599.99 administering the Act, a profit of over $4.5 million.
Wayne, Oakland, Macomb and Genesee Counties contain the most registered patients, in that order. Washtenaw, Kent and Ingham Counties all report over 8,000 patients each. Caregiver registrations followed the same pattern of popularity among counties.
There are only 12 named medical illnesses in the MMP; the majority of persons are registered as a result of other illnesses or injuries, the symptoms of which are described by physicians through a set of general ailments established in the 2008 MMP law. Cancer was the number one named medical condition cited in the new report, with more than 8,000 physician certifications for cancer in the medical marijuana program (3.81% of total). PTSD was the second-most frequently named medical condition approved for use of medical marijuana. Most Michigan physicians legally certify their patients by citing the general ailments of severe and chronic pain, severe and chronic muscle cramps, and severe nausea.

It's that time of the month again...PMS. (premenstrual syndrome).
I am going to keep it real ladies, my menstruation lately has gotten worse as time goes on.
My bloating, cramps and mood swings have really gone of the chart this past few months.
From excited to irritable to feeling cool to feeling real hot all of sudden.
I though to myself (WTF...) is this (F#@ing) normal?
Symptoms can often reoccur in a similar pattern, but the physical and emotional
changes one experiences can very for each women. The main thing ladies
is to make adjustments to our treatments and lifestyle habits in order to help manage
our symptoms.
Some of the main symptoms that I've encounter are listed below:
*Increase Abdominal Bloating
*Acne Flares ups
*Increase in Fatigue
*Appetitte changes and Food Cravings
(I mean just the other day I bought Obleas de Cajeta Con Leche y Bimbo Tostados Pan..Osea
I had a sweet tooth like no other...)
Usually by the time my menstruation starts these symptoms go away, but like I said, lately
they been sticking around until my cycle is over. Which is not a bad thing because by the time my cycle ends
my symptoms have resided, but for otra chicas this can be an issue if symptoms tansition into PMDD.
Here are my favorite got to items to help relief my symptoms:
and of course exercising
(although it's been hard for me lately, I will save that for another blog post)
According to the mayo clinic, a small number of women with premenstrual syndrome have disabling symptoms every month known as premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). PMDD sign and symptoms include depression, mood swings, anger, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, difficulty concentrating, irratibility and tension.
One thing to watch out for is if your pre-menstruation symptoms of PMS transitioning into PMDD
and you feel like it's affecting your lifestyle. If so, it's time to pick up your cell phone and make a call to the doctor and get referred to a gynecologist (a specialist who focuses on condition affecting the female reproductive tract). On that note, Ladies...Ladies... it's so important to remember when your cycle start and ends because this gives your doctor an idea of the type of recommendations they might make for further evaluation. Other things to consider to prepare for your appointment are the following:
1.) be aware of any appointment restrictions
(Warning: don't go into your gyn appointment expecting a gynecologist to see you for your ears, nose and throat issues or other non-related gyn issues. Saved those issues for your primary physician and make an appointment. I can't express enough how irritated gyn providers get when patients make a list of problems not relating to gynecology health.)
2.) Write down the symptoms you are experiencing
example: heavy bleeding and bloating x 5 days, increase mood swings etc.
3.) Make a list of any medication your taking
(please write down a list of your medications, so your provider is aware of any possibility of drug interactions in case they happen to prescribe a medication)
4.) Consider questions to ask your doctor or gynecologist
this is the time to ask away and talk about your case
and have that true 1-1 talk with your doctor.
Questions? Ask away chicas.
I am here for moral support
and remember to always follow up with your doctors.

Do I buy a used car or a new car? It is a question almost everyone has to anwser at least once life in their life. More specifically, you might ask yourself about a used Mitsubishi vs. a new one. It is a simpler answer that you might expect. You just need to make sure you have a good understanding of the advantages each option offers as well as an in depth analysis of your current financial situation. We here at Bakersfield Mitsubishi can help you especially with the later, as we provide a lot of great information on why you might want to buy a
used Mitsubishi car
instead of a new one.
The most obvious and talked about advatnage of choosing to buy a used car instead of new is that you easily can save money. Considering aspects like condition, mileage, if you choose to purchase with us and a multitude of other factors, contributes to the amount you'll have to pay for the used car you want.
Another contributing factor to why many people decide to buy a used Mitsubishi instead of new one, goes hand in hand with saving money. As you can see from the above example, you could easily save $9,000 buying an older model used car so logically you'd have more room in your budget for a nicer used car than you might have thought possible. You could take that $9,000 difference and choose to get the Outlander Sport SE instead, or go up a trim level on whatever used car it is you're considering.

For the frugal shopper, the money saving saving advantages of used cars vs. new cars are exemplified in the fact a used car won't suffer nearly as much depreciation as a new car. According to
Consumer Reports
new car "models typically lose about 47 percent of their value in the first three years, compared with 24 percent over the next three [years]." That means if you buy a car three years removed from being new, it has already taken its greatest loss in value. It also means if you choose to sell your used car, you're likely getting back more of what you paid for it because less deprecciation has occured.
While all this information can be useful, we know it can be a lot to decide by yourself. That's why you should give our used car department a call to speak with a sales representative
and explore your options as a customer of Bakersfield Mitsubishi.

Hurt in a Motorcycle Accident in Illinois?
Local Attorneys Explain Motorcycle Laws and Insurance Requirements
Due to the open design of a motorcycle, the rider may sustain severe injuries in the event of a crash with another vehicle. Even if a motorcyclist wears a helmet and full-body protective gear, the effects of an accident may be devastating. After such a crash, you may be able to collect compensation through an insurance claim, just as you would after any other motor vehicle accident. However, determining liability after a motorcycle crash can be difficult, especially as insurance adjusters may try to reduce your settlement if you were not wearing a helmet. Additionally, some states have different insurance requirements and laws related to motorcyclists, which may complicate your claim. Below, our local Illinois motorcycle accident attorneys explain the unique aspects of these kinds of claims.
Having a qualified attorney on your side after a motorcycle accident is often essential to getting the compensation you deserve. A lawyer can negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf and defend your right to full compensation, regardless of helmet use. If you need to find a Illinois attorney for your motorcycle accident claim, then consult our local listings.
How Are Motorcycle Accident Claims Unique?
A motorcycle accident claim usually involves serious injuries or even wrongful death, especially if much larger vehicles are involved. Other differences that set motorcycle accidents apart from car crashes include:
- Different common causes. Driver distraction and inattention are common causes of motorcycle accidents involving other vehicles. Due to the smaller size of a motorcycle, drivers in other vehicles may fail to notice an oncoming rider, causing a deadly crash. Additionally, negligent drivers may try to pass motorcyclists or share a lane, which increases the chances of a wreck. Finally, drinking and riding is one of the leading causes of single-vehicle motorcycle accidents and deaths, according to the CDC.
- More possible hazards. Certain hazards which may not affect cars and trucks can be deadly for motorcyclists. Road defects in particular may be dangerous for motorcyclists; in these cases, the city or government body responsible for the road may be liable for the crash. Additionally, adverse weather and defects in the bike and/or equipment may cause of contribute to motorcycle accident injuries.
- Possible biases. In some cases, insurance adjusters and/or juries may have biases against motorcyclists. For example, these parties may be more inclined to assume the motorcyclist was speeding or driving recklessly. Additionally, not wearing a helmet may make it more difficult to obtain fair compensation – though helmet use does not legally affect your ability to recover.
- Higher verdicts and settlements. Since the injuries and damages a motorcyclist suffers are usually high, the result of a motorcycle accident claim may be higher, compared to other claims. Since this compensation is usually necessary for riders to afford medical treatments, it is a good idea to consult an attorney who can protect your claim.
What Are the Illinois Motorcycle License and Insurance Requirements?
In all 50 states, motorcyclists must have a special endorsement on their licenses in order to legally ride. However, the requirements that you must meet to obtain a "Class M" endorsement vary by location. In Illinois, the standards are:
Licenses will not be issued to any person under the age of 18 as an operator of a motorcycle unless the person has completed a motorcycle training course approved by IDOT and the required Secretary of State's motorcycle driver's examination.
A 12-month instruction permit for a motor-driven cycle or motorcycle may be issued to a person 18 years of age or more, which entitles the holder to drive upon the highways during daylight under the direct supervision of a licensed motor-driven cycle operator or motorcycle operator with the same or greater classification, who is 21 years of age or older and who has at least 1 year of driving experience.
Although most states hold motorcyclists to the same minimum insurance requirements as car owners, Illinois is an exception. To legally ride a motorcycle in Illinois you must have:
$20,000 of bodily injury liability per person
$40,000 of bodily injury liability per incident
$15,000 of property damage liability per incident
Additionally, depending on the circumstances, you may be able to negotiate for a lower or variable insurance premium for your motorcycle if you do not ride it consistently. For example, most people do not travel by motorcycle in the winter months, so you may be able to purchase a "lay-up" policy, which reduces your coverage, and therefore your premium, during a certain time period.
Can I File a Motorcycle Accident Claim If I Was Not Wearing a Helmet?
Illinois is one of only three states that have no motorcycle helmet laws at all. Thus, you can choose whether to wear a helmet while riding. However, even though there is no state requirement, motorcycle helmets can reduce your risk of severe head and brain injuries in the event of a crash. Other protective gear that can minimize potential motorcycle accident injuries includes: sturdy boots, light-weight riding armor, thick pants, a long-sleeved jacket and durable gloves. Additionally, since most neighboring states have full or partial helmet laws, it is a good idea to check local requirements if you plan to travel across state lines.
Since the law does not require you to wear a helmet, insurance companies may not reduce your settlement if you were not wearing one at the time of your crash. (In fact, lack of a helmet cannot affect your compensation even in states with mandatory helmet laws). However, many injured riders find their motorcycle accident claims reduced or denied for this reason anyway. The insurance company may try to claim that you contributed to your own injuries by failing to wear a helmet. If this happens, then a qualified motorcycle attorney can help you fight for full and fair compensation.

National Community AGEnda Initiative Funded in Indiana
Indiana University's Center on Aging and Community and the Indiana Grantmakers Alliance have been awarded a $150,000 contract to help Indiana communities prepare for the massive growth of the older adult population.
The project is part of a $1.3 million national initiative called Community AGEnda: Improving America for All Ages. Supported by Pfizer Foundation and Grantmakers in Aging, a national association of funders, the national effort is helping nonprofits in five U.S. regions accelerate local efforts to make towns and cities "age-friendly" -- that is, great places to grow up and grow old.
