Moreover, the traditional approach uses mathematical formulas or algorithms that are run sequentially, refining the structural details of the model with each separate algorithm—a method that has been revolutionized by personal computing, but still requires labor-intensive human intervention for error correction.
A new method developed by scientists on the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) takes another tack entirely, combining existing formulas in a kind of algorithmic stew to gain a better picture of molecular structural diversity that is then used to eliminate errors and improve the final model.
The method was described in a paper published online ahead of print on September 26, 2013 by the journal Structure.
The new process, called Extensive Combinatorial Refinement (ExCoR), could help improve the development of drug candidates that depend to a great degree on detailed structural analysis to determine how they work against specific disease targets.
"Our combinatorial method creates computerized molecular models in a more automated way," said Kendall Nettles, a TSRI associate professor who led the study. "This is an important component of drug discovery—to do them in a more automated fashion will significantly help the process."
Improvement and Some Surprises
In the study, the scientists subjected more than 50 molecular structures to 256 distinct combinations of algorithms and refinement factors that eventually totaled more than 12,000 independent refinement runs.
Nettles and his colleagues measured the improvement in the models by what is known as the R-factor, which measures the similarity between the actual structure of the molecule and the experimental model—in other words, just how closely the refined structure model can predict the factual data.
"Lowering that R-factor is the goal—that's the selection process for finding the best algorithms," Nettles said.
While the study found that no single algorithm consistently produced the best model, the scientists did find some surprises.
"Some algorithms, if you combine them, tend to work better at producing a refined model," said Research Associate Jerome C. Nwachukwu, the first author of the study. "What we didn't expect was two algorithms that worked separately but didn't work in combination."
It is this strange overlap makes it impossible to predict which combinations of algorithms will work best for an individual structure.
"The refinement effects of the various algorithms depend on the structure itself," Nwachukwu said.
In addition to Nettles and Nwachukwu, authors of the study, "Improved Crystallographic Structures using Extensive Combinatorial Refinement," which will appear in the November 5, 2013 print issue of Structure, included Mark R. Southern of TSRI; James R. Kiefer of Genentech, Inc.; Pavel V. Afonine of Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory; Paul D. Adams of The University of California, Berkley; and Thomas C. Terwilliger of Los Alamos National Laboratory.
The study was supported by the National Institutes of Health (Grant numbers CA132022, DK077085, 5U01GM102148 and GM063210) and by the US Department of Energy (Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231).

*The below summary of the January 2015 lunch was provided by guest columnist, Rachel Palmer. Especially interesting are the six underlying conditions that lead to instability.*
On Thursday, January 29, 2015 TBOWIT had the January Lunch Event at Centre Club 123 South WestShore Blvd. Tampa, FL 33609. Presented by Commodore, Richard Menhinick, Royal Australian Navy. Commodore Menhinick has been in the Navy for 39 years now, but he has lived in Tampa for only 2 years. Out of the 5,000+ people in Central Command at MacDill Air Force, only 100-200 deal with International problems. He thinks that the Central Command at MacDill is great, because they are the only group of its kind in any Central Command office around the world. The officers on his team come from 25 different nations, including: Europe, Asia, Pacific and Central Americas, Afghanistan, China, South Korea and one about to join from Japan. His team creates Strategic Analysis 3 times a year; these reports go to Washington, Pentagon and even other countries. Six of the top underlining conditions his team looks at for these reports include: Economy, Religion, Demographics, Resources, Governance, and Artificial Boarders. He also talked about threats around the world including: weapons of mass destruction, nuclear, chemical weaponry, terrorism, and piracy.
The Middle East
The Middle East is always in the news for something
His team tries not to concentrate on the countries themselves when dealing
with the problems but what causes the problem. Six of the top underlining conditions his team looks at:
Economy, it is often over looked in Strategic Analysis
They have weak economies
Syria and Iraq have destroyed their countries trading
530 Million people in Central Command covered areas Demographics
Most of the countries have a very poor education system
The two countries with the worst conditions are Yemen and Afghanistan
Major issues with food scarcity
Lack of water is a large threat for many countries
70% of the food in the Middle East is imported from the Western
countries Governance
Most countries in Middle East have a heavy taint of corruption
He read off an article his team wrote about corruption and its impact to
the communities
Corruption is in every level of life, not just in the government
The members of these societies deal with corruption on a daily basis Artificial Boarders
Some countries built these artificial boarders to keep certain ethnic
groups out
Weapons of mass destruction, nuclear and chemical weaponry
Israel and Afghanistan, great deal of instability
They call ISIS, DASH
Everyone always focuses on "Terrorism in the Sea"
Mainly it deals with drugs
The U.S Navy was really good at preventing piracy, but it was never
publicized so they stopped trying to prevent it
Pakistan to Tanzania is the drug route by water
The real danger in piracy is where the money goes
Human Rights Violations
There are almost as many confrontations as there are countries in his
area concentrated on about 20 countries
The two top confrontations
Iran and Saudi Arabia
Pakistan and India
Issues in Iraq and Syria
Iraq: the government is not involved to stop it
Syria: more complicated, they need to work out a compromise
The Central Command wants to beat Dash and stop the Civil Wars
"Taking a Major Retailer on the International Path Undefined - An IKEA Retrospective
from Sweden, to the U.S. and Beyond"
By a show of hands - Who's heard of IKEA before? Who's been to the store in Tampa? It's surprising to learn that 38% of the population in Tampa doesn't know what IKEA is or that there is a IKEA store in Tampa. This is one challenge that IKEA faces according to our latest TBOWIT luncheon speaker, Monica Varela, Manager of the Tampa store. If you missed Monica's presentation this past Thursday, August 28th, you missed a fascinating talk about mixing cultures and IKEA's entrance to the US market.
Monica has worked for IKEA since 1989 and her enthusiasm for her company was contagious and her knowledge was extensive. Monica is an IKEA expert having worked at the US corporate headquarters in charge of various product "ranges", worked abroad as manager of European ranges/stores/regions, and now as manager of the Tampa store. This lady knows her stuff – IKEA stuff! The overarching theme of Monica's presentation was – how do you mix cultures and modify products for a particular market without turning your back on corporate culture. How do you go about planting IKEA's Swedish culture and values of functionality, sustainability, equality, and stewardship into the US market? How do you overcome the challenges that will inevitably come up?
The answer is two-prong – educate your market and educate the home office in Sweden to where they modify the "range" (product line). Here are a few examples of challenges faced-
Bedding - IKEA was the first to introduce the concept of a duvet cover. IKEA US had to educate their public on the use and practicality of a duvet cover. On the flip side, IKEA US had to help Sweden realize that Americans want flat sheets (Swedish people don't sleep with flat sheets). IKEA now sells flat sheets.
Lighting – Sweden doesn't get as much light as we do here in the US. It's actually quite dark. The Swedish people use "points of light" in the rooms of their home. They will have a specific light for a specific purpose usually at a lower wattage. The Swedish will turn off and on lights as they move around a room. Conversely, in the US, we typically use a higher wattage bulb for the whole room. For the US market, IKEA had to come up with a higher wattage bulb. As info, by 2016, all of IKEA's lights globally will be LED.
Candles – For the Swede, candles are functional. Not so in the US, we use candles for decoration and for their scent. There was a long battle to get the go-ahead to sell scented candles in the US. Today, they are the number one seller around the world!
Glassware – No, that's not a pitcher for water. That's the size of the glass that Americans want to use. In Sweden, they do not use ice so their glasses are taller and narrower. IKEA US was given the go ahead to move glass production to the US and we now have our "normal" size glasses.
Kids Dept – IKEA tries to sell products and to show their customers that kids are not to be isolated or protected in the home. Kids should have a central place in every room of the house. For instance, IKEA sells a porcelain tea service. They want kids to learn that if you drop something it'll break and you might get a cut. One thing that IKEA has not been allowed to sell in the US though that they sell in Europe – a tool kit with a real hammer and saw (!).
While there have been some challenges when it comes to the range, IKEA (which in Sweden is pronounced ee-kay-a) has had great success with planting their Swedish corporate culture in not only the US stores, but IKEA stores globally. Here are a few of IKEA's ethos.
Diversity – At IKEA stores, diversity is invited, welcomed, and accepted. It doesn't matter if you have pink hair, tattoos, or piercings for instance. IKEA co-workers don't have to hide who they are. Co-workers are supported in their individual expression and uniqueness.
Equality – At IKEA, there is no sense of strict hierarchy. There are no offices or cubicles. Monica's desk is a room with several other desks. Everyone wears the same uniform. Everyone goes by their first name. Monica told a humorous story that happened recently when a new hire thought that Monica was a pusher-of-carts because that is where she had first seen her.
Energy – The best ideas come from the bottom up across all lines. September starts the IKEA business year. To come up with the next year business plan, IKEA Tampa took 14 of their employees from across the spectrum thru a SWOT analysis and this group comes up with the business plan. This group of employees not only comes up with the plan, but then presents the plan to the IKEA board. Monica is proud to say that this year's plan was deemed "the best ever!".
Work/life balance – Apparently Europeans have the following to say about us in the U.S., "Europeans work to live and Americans live to work." At IKEA all managers are expected to work around 40 hours per week not 50/60/70 per week. If someone is working these many hours than there is something wrong. IKEA will work with a person to make sure that their job can be completed in around 40 hours.
Monica's presentation was chock full of interesting tidbits, stories, and strategies to entwine two cultures. Monica also delved into current opportunities that IKEA faces such as e-commerce and evolving self-serve for customers who want to be served more (ex. picking and assembly). After Monica's presentation, she fielded many questions from the audience and we could have peppered her for about another hour. I'm so glad that she answered so many questions, because through the answers we learned the origins of IKEA's heart/hug plush, IKEA's expansion plans both in the US and globally, a few stories of culture clashes between Sweden and other countries, how IKEA cares for their suppliers and invests in their suppliers, local in-store events, and local philanthropy.
Best of all, Monica ended her presentation with a raffle for about a dozen IKEA items – everything from lights to duvet covers to office storage to, of course, a heart/hug plush pillow & more!
If you missed Monica's presentation, you missed an energetic, highly informative, excellent talk about IKEA. But don't worry, you can always visit the store!

"SHIFTING DIRECTIONS: Challenges of Managing Growth Driven by the International Customer"
It's not often that you get to listen to the CEO of a NASDAQ-traded company give pointers on how to successfully engage in international business.
How lucky were we then to hear Mr. Ermanno P. Santilli, CEO of MagneGas this past Thursday at TBOWIT's March luncheon. I won't pretend to understand the process behind MagneGas' product except that I know it's called –Plasma Arc Flow.
Their technology gasifies or sterilizes hazardous liquid wastes and produces a fuel which they have called MagneGas. This gas and process is at the forefront of green technology. MagneGas fuel has the lowest green house emissions of any fuel out there on the market today. And it's cost competitive to boot.
How then do you take this marvelous product and sell it overseas while safeguarding your proprietary rights?
Ermanno gave a lot of pointers and here are a few.
One, Recognize that you can't do it alone–you need trusted and responsible individuals on the ground overseas who know the local taxes, customs, and etc. Two, from the very start make it clear that you follow the FCPA guidelines (Foreign Corrupt Practices Act). Three, Pay attention to red flags such as high commissions, a different payment address from a legal address, or someone not wanting to meet at the company location. Four, Follow up, insist on meeting the client at their place of work, get their business card, and then after the meeting call both their office number and the main office number to speak to the individual. Five, Be on the offensive when it comes to protecting your international patents - have overlapping IP protections to keep copy cats away, service your own products, know who your client is, and keep your negotiations on the down low. It wouldn't surprise me if one day Mr. Santilli writes a book because he had a lot of good information to share.
What a great opportunity we had to listen and ask questions of this successful CEO!

"Battles and Victories from Women-Owned Businesses: Defense Contractors of the Not-So-Weaker Sex"
What do top secret clearance, Libyan dictators, and government contracts have in common -the answer is one woman, Sally Woodward, Partner at Shutts & Bowen, LLP.
If you missed January's TBOWIT's lunch meeting, you missed a fascinating conversation covering a crash course on government contracting, the importance of having knowledgeable consultants & support, and real-life examples from the world of government contracts. A little-known fact that Sally pointed out is that the Tampa Bay area is the 3rd largest federal government contract area in the nation. That's right, the 3rd largest. We would re-cap some of those adventurous stories that Sally told except they are now cloaked in OWIT secrecy & you will need OWIT clearance (This is a joke!).
Sally also explained to the OWIT audience how a "domestic" contract can quickly become international when a company's contract is extended to embassies, bases, or agencies established overseas and, even more complicated, a formerly domestic contract extended to a foreign government under the auspicious of the US federal government. Sally capably and eagerly held our hand thru some of the nuances of government contracting explaining about FARS, the benefits available to women-owned companies, profit margins, government accounting, the fine line between money paid overseas for necessary procedures & to secure a bid (ahem..we mean a bribe -which Sally quickly pointed out is one reason you need wise counsel by your side). Sally covered so much ground that frankly, expert is probably a mild form of praise.
Government contracting requires a lot of up-front work, but can be quite lucrative. It's refreshing to hear about successful women-owned businesses in the Tampa Bay area that are involved in this arena and that we have such a resource in women like Sally who can offer the support and expertise needed to thrive. Sally started to the TBOWIT year off with a bang! (no pun intended)
Thank you Sally!

Adding Spice to our Life
Melissa Pederson, Anders's mother and longtime Pleasanton realtor, raised Anders and his sister Kelly in Pleasanton, California. Anders was a person of conviction, despite having a vision impairment he set out to master and enjoy all things in his life. His enjoyment led to many accomplishments in his academics, athletic pursuits, international travels, and careers including the creation of Spicy Vines. Anders was a firm believer in trying new things and embracing life with a twist.
In November of 2015, Anders donated a kidney to his sister Kelly as they were a perfect match. While the transplant was a success to his sister, Anders unfortunately and tragically passed due to complications of the the surgery within a week of the operation. Anders' generous gift surrounding his kidney donation will be remembered forever by his sister, family, and friends as he continues to remain an important part of their lives today.
The Pederson family created the Anders Pedersen foundation to support kidney transplant research.
Adding spice to his life
Anders was a determined and adventurous young entrepreneur who embarked on the journey of creating a spiced wine with co-founder Crystalyn Hoffman.
Upon the return of Crystalyn's Europe travels, she described to Anders her insatiable craving for a German mulled wine. The two made a bet on whether there was a winery in America that produced spiced wines, despite all searches; Anders was unable to find a spiced wine company in the US and lost the bet. This reveal sparked a new goal for them, to replicate the wine and share it with the American wine industry.
Creating the perfect spiced wine recipe was no easy feat for Anders and Crystalyn alone, the kitchen of Anders's mother, Melissa Pederson, could attest to that. Anders and Crystalyn sought help from professionals and scientists to assist them and in 2011, the inaugural bottled batch of Spicy Vines Original Spiced Red Blend was corked and bottled! Today, Spicy Vines has grown to become a boutique winery in downtown Healdsburg. What started as bet surrounding a silly little Spiced Wine has since evolved into a growing winery producing ultra premium (non-spiced) varietals and blends. As the winery has grown, Anders' and Crystalyn's original little Spiced Wine continues to serve as the company's flagship wine and reminder of how the Spicy Vines story all began. Anders always believed in the Spicy Vines dream he helped create and the team today strive to make the most in life as he did.

Word of Mouth at its heart was literally one person passing on comments or recommendations to another. (For great read on WOM fundamentals, check out this book by Andy Sernovitz). This required the physical sharing of a common locality to experience this Word of Mouth phenomenon.
As communications technology advanced, this spatial requirement for Word of Mouth diminished. Enter the Internet age – where we have people from one part of the world influencing others on the other side of the globe.
The rise of the digital social networks has forever changed the dynamics of Word of Mouth. But only for a moment. As smartphones have increasingly shifted our Internet interactions into our mobile lives, WOM – specifically digital WOM – has returned some relevance back into what it means to be local. (Even people within the same locality interact and communicate with each other via smartphone apps.)
Early apps like Foursquare focused purely on geographical presence are transitioning into services that use this data to provide conversations and recommendations between end users. And it is these types of local social signals that are going to influence your marketing success in the future.
It's been said before and I'll say it again: Social media and search go hand in hand. By now it should be no surprise that social signals (user generated content and sharing intents from social networks and beyond) factor into SEO (search engine optimization) results.
With last year's Hummingbird announcement, many industry analysts and experts took careful note that Google was poised to more actively take social signals (hello, Google+) into account in search engine results and rankings. And this is not just happening in the U.S. market. Even China's Google equivalent, Baidu, has gotten the message that WOM is an important factor in defining search and content relevance, facilitating its own social sharing tool.
So what does this mean for local WOM? Social WOM big data, coupled with geospatial big data, is pushing us towards an increasingly greater focus on local search and the need to factor in local SEO for marketing success. It means that you need to consider the impact of localized content and engagement in your marketing efforts. It means you need to have the right foundations in place to support local SEO efforts (like listings management if you have multiple geographic locations).
Image credit: http://moz.com/learn/local/prioritizing-local-marketing
Referencing the above graphic, social media (today's equivalent to WOM) is still a key factor to search and gives rise to the targeted intersection of local search.
Need further convincing? Check out Google's recent efforts to bring you a hyperlocal in-store experience with Google Maps Business View. It will only be a matter of time before marketing companies begin to incorporate this level of locality into their local SEO offerings.

It highlighted that we need to think about how to plan for the dramatic change in the global energy sector that is coming – and coming faster than most think.
#NEO2016 essentially states that any major investment which is expected to produce returns beyond 2030 will run the risk of being stranded at some stage. Hence new coal and nuclear are not wise choices at this stage.
The opening paragraph hits you right between the eyes.
"By 2040, zero-emission energy sources will make up 60% of installed capacity globally. Wind and solar will account for 64% of the 8.6TW of new power generating capacity added worldwide over the next 25 years, and for almost 60% of the $11.4 trillion invested".
The article explains that wind and solar energy will keep getting cheaper.
Solar's precipitous cost decline, for example, "sees it emerge as the least-cost generation technology in most countries by 2030. It will account for 3.7TW, or 43%, of new power generating capacity added in 2016-40 and for over $3 trillion of new investment. Small-scale solar makes up a bit more than a third of this new capacity, starting with Europe, Australia and the US but quickly spreading to India and other countries, with households and businesses adding solar PV on the rooftops to offset retail power bills almost everywhere."
The Eskom board has a lot to think about, as does the Department of Energy and National Treasury.
Reading #NEO2016, I couldn't help thinking about the Giant Flag project being planned for outside Graaff-Reinet in the Karoo. Covering a surface area of 66 soccer fields, comprising millions of desert plants in the colour of our national flag and incorporating a 4MW solar farm, it will be seen from space. Clearly 4MW is a drop in the ocean compared to what we need, but it highlights the point that demand forecasting for large utilities is becoming increasingly difficult as micro projects start emerging and gaining momentum, ushering in a new green innovation era that tangibly brings people, profit and planet together.
Which brings me back to Eskom. There is a rising chorus claiming that Eskom's comparisons of the cost of one form of energy with another are fallacious, and simply part of Eskom's persistent campaign to try and prove that electricity procured from IPPs is more expensive than coal or nuclear in order to justify their current structure. It doesn't take much examination to work out that Eskom's so-called strategy for sustainability is, in reality, extinction accounting.
Eskom's sustainability has been questioned for a long time. Professor Brian Kantor and David Holland spoke about this at the NERSA public hearing in Cape Town on 15 January 2013 when they tore Eskom's case apart in 25 minutes. They widely circulated their recommendations, titled: Electricity Pricing – Principles that should apply to Eskom.
What did Eskom's board decide to do? One can only assume they carried on as normal, which makes one wonder which questions, if any, their non-executive directors are asking.
Are they asking why Eskom is still chasing a revenue model when this does not foster prudence? Chasing tariff hikes and applying to NERSA for clawbacks through the Regulatory Clearing Account (RCA), does not promote effective, efficient and economic optimisation of the national electricity supply. Compounding the woes are municipalities who hold onto the electricity revenues they have collected, to balance their own shortfalls.
This revenue model approach creates a perverse incentive which, in short, will eventually price Eskom out of the market, if it hasn't already done so. Which is why Eskom does not want the IPPs to expand because it compromises their revenue model. If they allow more IPPs to come on line, it is going to reduce their inflated revenues.
Kantor and Holland made it very clear that if Eskom continues to demand unsustainably high rates of return on non-productive assets in their fleet, the cost of electricity in South Africa will not be sustainable. This will compromise all electricity consumers, including commerce and industry, with Eskom ending up as a beached whale.
What has also came to light is that we seem to be obsessed with focusing on the supply side, without adequately considering what the demand equation for electricity might look like in the future.
In an opinion piece written in Business Day on 17th August this year, Leon Louw of the Free Market Foundation argued there is a direct correlation between electricity consumption and economic growth and that if South Africa doesn't start generating huge amounts of electricity we are going to be in trouble.
Arguing against this, Dr Roger Silberberg in his letter to the Editor on Friday 19 August, said that traditional models of equating economic growth to electricity production are obsolete because the world is getting smarter and using electricity in far more energy-efficient ways.
Hence, the call for huge investment in nuclear, based on traditional use projections might not be properly considered. As Silberberg points out, the rate of projected electricity use is now less than half of the economic growth rate in the US because of the shifting of economies towards less energy intensive industries or a mix of energy provisions.
In this regard I was intrigued to see Old Mutual's advert as of 31st March 2016, about responsible investing initiatives and their R14billion investment in renewable energy. It cited that out of a total of 6187.9 Megawatts (MW) of renewable energy in South Africa, comprising a mixture of solar, biomass, landfill gas, hydro and wind, Old Mutual's R14bn investment is for 2,715MW. The biggest proportion of this is in solar (1,185MW) and wind (1,518MW).
The R14bn investment appears to follow good capital budgeting theory, it presents us with a lot less risk and uncertainty and the renewable energy independent power producer programme has been hailed as a success of public-private partnership.
South Africa is at critical phase of our socio-economic development and we need to use the opportunity to take stock of what is really good for South Africa, and we need far more public debate and transparency about what Eskom is doing.
If we do not demand this of Eskom's board, then if the proposed nuclear plants are approved, we will carry the cost of them for many years before any power is generated, and we all know that Eskom's development costs have a knack of doubling, tripling and more.
If we do not keep up the pressure, as tiresome as it might be, then, as it states in When Money Destroys Nations by Philip Haslam with Russell Lamberti, we will find ourselves diving down suicide gorge without any opportunity of turning back.

text: Why is Germany being targeted? ISIL claims the Christmas market attack in Berlin and the far right blames Chancellor Merkel for her refugee policy. 21 Dec 2016 21:34 GMT Europe, Germany, ISIS, War & Conflict Germany's Christmas markets are world-renowned. But an attack in Berlin on Monday changed one from a scene of holiday cheer to one of death and destruction. A truck rammed into crowds and stalls. Twelve people were killed, and 48 injured. And police scrambled to find the person responsible. They arrested a Pakistani refugee, but released him through lack of evidence. Then they began to search for a Tunisian man whose ID was found in the truck. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant group has claimed the attack, but its role remains unclear and unverified. So what are the political and security ramifications from this latest atrocity? Presenter: Sami Zeidan Guests: John Duke Anthony, founding president of the National Council on US-Arab Relations Raphael Bossong, research associate at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs Imad Khchifati, a Syrian refugee who was granted asylum in AustriaSource: Al Jazeera News Tell us what you think

We hope you all are having a wonderful summer! If you have kids, you know how your family's supplies dwindle more in the summer with the kids home from school. Coburn Place is no exception. With 35 families, we're always running low on something. Leanne has taken inventory in the pantry and donation storage area, and here are the items we are in greatest need of:
These are just the items in shortest supply. Here's where you can always find our ongoing needs. Thank you!

Barack Obama has made the cover of GQ–the first time a politician has made the cover since Clinton and Gore were on the cover in November 1992. Among the topics of the article is how Obama appeals more to college-educated wine-sipping Democrats but isn't appealing as much to the beer drinkers. After years of putting up with that issue of which candidate people would prefer to go out for a beer with, I'm glad to see us wine drinkers get taken as a serious political constituency.
I also wonder if it means anything that GQ picked Obama while Esquire went with John Edwards. But perhaps someone at Esquire wasn't really all that fond of Edwards after putting him on the cover under the headline The Sexiest Woman Alive. After all the mistakes made by his campaign, even something which would seem positive such as being on the cover backfired against him.

Uruguay recently became the first country to completely legalize cannabis, and has big plans to create a recreational marijuana industry. This has lead to numerous other countries considering following suit. I think after other countries see how well it works, it will speed up the process of reform around the world. Hopefully the United States gets on that bandwagon sooner than later at the federal level.
A lot of people in the media and in the international community were shocked to see Uruguay make such a bold move. But I think the most shock came from the United States cannabis industry when it became known that Uruguay would be selling cannabis at such a low price – less than one dollar per gram. That price is considerably lower than prices in stores in Colorado.
It appears that Uruguay will be making another bold move with their cannabis policy – selling legal recreational cannabis tax free. Per Reuters:
Uruguay will exempt marijuana production and sales from taxes in a bid to ensure prices remain low enough to undercut competition from black market pot smuggled in from Paraguay, according to consultants advising the government on a legalization plan.
"The principal objective is not tax collection. Everything has to be geared toward undercutting the black market," said Felix Abadi, a contractor who is developing Uruguay's marijuana tax structure. "So we have to make sure the price is low."
Uruguay will auction up to six licenses to produce cannabis legally in the next weeks. The government is also considering growing marijuana on a plot of land controlled by the military to avoid illegal trafficking of the crop.
One of the biggest selling points in the United States to reform cannabis laws and allow the industry to operate is that it will generate a significant amount of tax revenue. It seems that Uruguay is not as concerned with generating tax revenue. I think legalization combined with extremely low prices will catapult Uruguay to the status of 'most cannabis friendly destination' once sales start rolling out. How Uruguay will deal with an influx of foreign travelers is yet to be seen, but I think added tourism is 'problem' every nation would love to have.
Laura Blanco, President of Uruguay's Cannabis Studies Association will be on hand at our conference in September to give attendees a first-hand account from the country making international waves by regulating cannabis sales. Join us in Portland, Oregon, as we bring together entrepreneurs, activists and professionals from across the globe to provide an international cannabis conference like no other.

Now that the Japan posts are done and no longer occupy the back of my mind like a neglected child, I found myself feeling listless. Playing Breath of the Wild somehow isn't the same when I'm not trying to procrastinate on something more important. I suppose forcing myself to write something down on the blog has also made me a bit nostalgic, so this is as good of a time as any to dabble back into figure photo game.
For this shot, I decided to give the wrinkled tin foil idea another try, hoping that this time the out of focus tin foil doesn't look too obvious like the Luka photo I took before. To make sure of that, I put a lot of distance between the figure and the pieces of tin foil, the latter of which I clipped onto some curtains behind the figure. The goal is to create something shimmery that looks a bit like a concert crowd.
Shooting two subjects at once has its own challenges. Because i was using a longer focal length, it took quite a bit of trial and error to find a desirable angle with both figures on the same plane of focus. Evenly lighting both figures with one light source was also a bit tricky since I wanted to use my second flash as a hair light. Still, with foam board reflector and a a graduated filter reducing the highlights on the left side of the image, I managed to make do.
You can see the setup in the photo above — the bokeh balls in the background are from the light bouncing off of the tinfoil in the background. I hope you found this interesting!

Draaco Aventura
Posted by da Front Porch on Monday, February 1, 2016 Under: Singers
1. My name is Draaco Aventura and I was born in Valdosta, GA, however I grew up around the world. I and Afro-Latino, and have lived in Panama, Colombia, Nicaragua, the UK, Djibouti, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar. View my MTV.com artist Profile for a more detailed intro/bio http://www.mtv.com/

2. I have an extensive social media presence. I can be reached on nearly all social media accounts with DraacoAventura or Draaco.Aventura , I have a very unique name so if people google Draaco Aventura, they will find me.
3. I started Acting and Singing at the age of 14 in Theater Plays, Musicals, Madrigal Dinners, and Show Choir. I eventually formed a quartet and started performing at talent shows, doing R&B songs. I usually would cover Boyz 2 Men, Dru Hill, or Usher songs. See full Entertainment Bio here: http://www.imdb.com/name/
nm7378406/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_ sm
4. I wrote GoGo Twerk to be a song that Djs can put on in the club to help shy guys engage the curvaceous woman that he has been watching dance, and thinking about being with her but did not act on it. The lyrics are designed to say to the woman what I believe most guys think when they watch a lovely woman with volume back there, shake it a little. With this song on it should be a little easier for guys to close the deal with the woman that he desires.
Its definitely a club banger.
5. Yes every one can check me out on Episode 8 of BET's New Series "Criminals at Work" and Season 4 of House of Cards! Boom! I also have several feature films coming out this year "Achilles" and "Chula". Also people can check out the show that I produce with Actor: Jocko Sims (TNT's The Last Ship, Showtimes "Masters of Sex") in LA called ApolloNightLA http://www.apollonightla.com.
This is the link to download my Latin (Salsaton) hit "Meneame"
6. My motivation in hard times is faith in the Messiah, and the hope that the Father of Spirits (YAH) will keep me in his good graces, and aid me in my time of trouble. I also get motivated by my desire to not fail and/or disappoint potential fans, employers, and family.
My links are below.
Take care bro--
I arranged/produced the music myself and wrote the lyrics to the both songs.

PoliticoNewJersey- After a weekend of negotiations, Democrats who control the state Senate and Assembly are close to forging a deal that could pave the way for North Jersey casinos — if voters approve.
"Talks are moving in the right direction," Sen. Paul Sarlo, a Democrat from Bergen County, said on Monday. Sarlo added that he will be a prime sponsor of the compromise amendment. "I am confident that we will be bringing this to the Legislature, perhaps in lame duck."
Sarlo and other Democrats involved in the talks would not give details. But they began the weekend far apart on several key questions, and have tentatively resolved one of the biggest: How many casinos will be permitted in North Jersey.
Assembly Speaker Vincent Prieto and many North Jersey lawmakers, including Assemblyman Ralph Caputo of Essex County, have called for three. Senate President Stephen Sweeney wanted no more than two.
According to three sources with knowledge of the negotiations but who refused to speak publicly about them, both sides have settled on two North Jersey casinos, with with specific locations to be determined later — although developers already have announced plans for casinos in Jersey City and the Meadowlands.
With four casinos having closed in Atlantic City in 2014, many lawmakers see North Jersey casinos as a way to capture gaming revenue that's being lost to neighboring states while providing a new revenue source to the struggling resort town. Casino gaming is permitted only in Atlantic City, and it would take a voter-approved constitutional amendment to allow it anywhere else.
To get it before voters in 2016, both the state Senate and Assembly must either approve it with a single vote with a three-fifths majority, or with two simple majority votes in consecutive legislative years. Gov. Chris Christie, who has expressed support for North Jersey casinos, does not have a role in the process.
Differences remain over exactly how much money the North Jersey casinos would give to Atlantic City. Sweeney had proposed $200 million, which some North Jersey lawmakers felt was unacceptable. Also unsettled are questions about whether only casino operators licensed in Atlantic City would be allowed licenses to open casinos in North Jersey.
Tom Hester Jr., a spokesman for Prieto, said the Hudson County Democrat "continues to believe North Jersey gaming is a matter of when, not if, but he will not be commenting on ongoing discussions."
Sweeney, a Democrat from Gloucester County, also declined to comment.
"There's discussions, but I'm not going to say anything else," he said. "Except that we're talking to the Assembly."

B2B Marketing partnered with ITN Productions, ITN's dedicated content hub, to investigate the state of B2B video use and ask: 'Where is all the B2B video?'
This research project launched in late March 2014, and proved to be incredibly popular with the industry. The survey attracted the responses of 172 mid- to senior-level marketing professionals, and their feedback can be found distilled into the various components of this report.
Included in this report is the research analysis of the survey, research comment from ITN Productions, best practice advice on how to utilise B2C techniques in B2B video, an infogrpahic detailing the research's key findings, and the key takeaways from a B2B Leaders roundtable event staged in mid-April.
As a complete package it can be seen as providing a very clear 'state of the market' take on how B2B marketers are currently using video, how this use is about to change, and how they should be acting if they want to see their video investments fly.

Of Cops And Corruption
Growing up, I've always heard about the rampant woes of corruption that were inconspicuously married to the police department in Malaysia. I've heard that bribes of anything from cigarettes to money to dignity could be the perfect compensation for any traffic offence from speeding to drink driving.
And they are true, because I finally witnessed the blunt of this gross reality that perhaps the servants of these institutions are simply 'bending' the law because corruption is a means to sustain a living. Or that perhaps setting up road blocks is just a past time not aimed to deter drink driving, but to make money.
Corrupt traffic police officers are no national secret, unlike Area 54, Roswell, Iraqi nuclear warheads and Hong Kong shrimp dumplings. It is blatant coffee shop topic and banter, and possibly more prevalent in Malaysian local context than Twitter or Facebook will ever be.
In such corruption, defines everything that capitalism stands for, that ultimately, money is everything. And it is no wonder that I see the people here drink and drive with such impunity as long as they have a couple of hundreds in their pockets that will miraculously become talisman that will guide them home, or at least ensure a safe enough passage.
At the rate we were drinking, it would have been an offence to even hold your car keys in Singapore. But this was Kuala Lumpur, home to cool restaurants, complicated roads and where consequences sometimes never catches up to you.
When we finished at the last bar on the outskirts of KLCC, we already had 2 bottles of whisky between the 6 of us. It was a point where no one should be driving, or even peeing without assistance, but I saw that nonchalant defiance of all traffic laws in their eyes and I knew that drink driving was a mandatory curriculum when it comes to driving, along with road rage, talking on handphone and illegal parking.
RO was my designated driver, so he was a lot more discerning with the drinks but from what I learnt about rate of alcohol absorption is that you are fucked anyway if you take more than 8 glasses. If there was a road block, he was going to fail it.
10 minutes into our drive on the expressway, we saw blinking beacons in the distant. In Singapore, if you had that much to drink, the lights are actually an indication for you to jump out the car and make a desperate swim for the causeway. Here, it just means you have to make a trip to the ATM the morning after.
Calmly, he started removing cash from his wallet and furtively began slotting them into various compartments of his car. He was driving a hatchback proton that looked like it was a stunt car for the Fast and the furious, so it was practically a mobile bulls-eye.
The whole conversation played out in Malay, so I had no idea what was going on until RO fed me the post event subtitles, but this was basically what went down after we got pulled over.
RO failed both the breathalyzer test, or as what some of the other locals have told me, these test are sometimes rigged, so having an orange juice can sometimes have the same effect as drinking a whole bottle of tequila.
RO: "So how now?"
Cop: "RM5,000. If not we go to police station."
RO: "I don't have RM5,000. Why don't we go to the station."
Cop: "RM1,000?"
This was better than the Great Singapore sale. Freedom was having a discount day out and normally I would jump at a grand for having an 'unblemished' driving record, but I would soon be taken on a practical course of handling cops in Malaysia. All I needed was a classroom, a notepad and this would have qualified as Corruption Handling 101.
RO: "I don't have."
Cop: "You have ATM card? I can drive you to the ATM"
Apparently ATM's are last options because when they see how much you have in your bank account, they are going to cleave you for all that's worth.
Cop: "Ask your friend if he has money."
RO: "He's from Singapore. Do you want to give him a bad impression of Malaysia?!"
Cop: "How about cigarettes?"
I had no idea what was transpiring between the both of them all this time because I wasn't born with subtitling capabilities and neither did my iPhone come with one, so I did what I do best when I am confused; I started playing Angry Birds.
RO started emptying his wallet and held the cash just below the window frame. The cop took a glance of it and started to walk off shortly after.
RO: "He wants RM500 now. I just told him this is all I got and if he doesn't want it, he can take us to the station."
Me: "We can start hyperventilating now to lower your BAC."
It was like a game of bluff, RO was calling his dare and only because he knows that this is a staple in KL. It's about taking whatever bribe that was available or upholding justice and wasting your night doing paperwork.
The cop finally came back and settled for RM150. So that is the price of freedom.
If you actually put that in perspective, they are probably more lucrative than the ERP system because from what I've seen about the frivolous caution that the locals practice when it comes to drink driving, he is probably going to make enough for a night to buy over Batam by Christmas.
I'm not implying that every cop in Malaysia is corrupted, God forbid. I believe there are your John Waynes, Rambos and Edward Nortons who are clad in justice trying to better the police department. It's just that I've heard alot of stories from the locals and it's amusing because they talk about it like it is normalized into their routine of life.
I can't say I hate that system because every wrong can be made right with the right price. It's like you don't need to cry over spilt milk there because you can simply mop it up and have it for breakfast again.
But my civic consciousness is knocking against my conscience, or maybe it's that one too many drunk driving posters about shattering lives or maybe it's that one poster in Australia that said, "If you drink and drive, you die", but in any case, we should leave the driving to the cabbies, even if their meters are coincidentally always spoilt.

Berkeley Welcomes Back Bearden Mural By MATTHEW ARTZ
It's the dream behind every public art project.
Spend a paltry sum for a work that becomes the city's signature piece of art and appreciates in value faster than a home in the hills.
Little did the Berkeley officials know when they commissioned renowned Harlem artist Romare Bearden to paint a 12-foot by 16-foot mural for the City Council chambers that their dream would come true.
Not only is the work, "Berkeley—The City and Its People, 1973," now cemented as the city's logo, but the project which cost $16,000 in 1972 was most recently valued between $750,000 and $1 million.
"It is possibly the most valuable asset the city has that is not nailed to the ground," said Mayor Tom Bates. "It's a real sense of pride and joy."
On Friday (today) the city welcomes back its esteemed mural from a nearly two-year national tour as part of the National Gallery of Art retrospective on Bearden's work. Bearden died in 1988 at the age of 76.
"I don't know of any other city that has a work from a major artist in its council chambers," said Peter Selz, a retired UC Berkeley art history professor and the founding director of the Berkeley Art Museum.
The push to install a mural at the council chambers was sparked by two African American councilmembers, Ira Simmons and D'army Bailey. After they were elected in 1970, they protested that the chamber walls were decorated with pictures of Lincoln and Washington, but no people of color, said Carl Worth, founding director of the Berkeley Art Center and coordinator for the mural project.
Around that time, Bearden happened to be in Berkeley for an exhibit of his work. Worth and Selz immediately decided that he was man for the job.
"I suggested that instead of a token photograph of a black person, why not have an accomplished black artist do a mural?" Selz said.
The two discussed the project with Bearden, who lived in Harlem, and he expressed his enthusiasm for the job.
"He loved the idea of working with Berkeley because he was a person of strong social conscience," Worth said.
For a week in 1972, Worth toured the city with Bearden visiting black churches, Telegraph Avenue festivals, UC Berkeley faculty meetings, and a city council meeting.
"Romare was a man who loved people and he responded very intensely to the people he met," Worth said.
For Bearden, the mural was a departure from his past works. He had never before painted a mural, and most of his work was biographical from his childhood in North Carolina and his adult years in Harlem.
Bearden worked for 30 years as a social worker for New York City, painting at nights and on weekends. By the 1960s he came up with a collage process in which he blew up images in scale and integrated them into the collages.
"He was ready for a mural," Worth said. "It was an opportunity for him to make a collage on a larger scale."
The work debuted in January 1974, to a typically mixed Berkeley review, Worth said. "Some people thought it was too avant-guard, others had wanted there to be an open process that included local artists, but a lot of people liked it from the start."
"I was delighted with it," Selz said. "That he managed to get so many aspects of the life of the city into one space was incredible."
The most brilliant feature, he added, were the four different colored profile heads on the bottom center, which symbolized the city's diversity.
The design would later replace UC's Sather Tower as the city's logo.
"The fact that this has become part of the fabric of the city is a pretty good measure of the quality of the work," Worth said.
A welcome-back ceremony will be held today at 4 p.m. (Friday) at Old City Hall, 2134 Martin Luther King Jr. Way.

With all of the different opportunities and places to play music in Athens, its hard not to find your niche. For Cole Powers, that came very quickly. As a freshman solo artist, Powers began to immerse himself in the music scene of Athens quickly by playing open mics at Front Room Coffee House and Casa Nueva and has since played shows in Columbus and Athens at the Smiling Skull.
Powers draws a lot of his inspiration from blues artists such as Stevie Ray Vaughn. One of his most frequent songs is a country version of "Pride and Joy", although he has also started writing his own music.
The Boot Bandits sat down with Powers in the Jam Room to talk about his music inspirations, how he got his start in the Athens music scene and, of course, play some music.

Happy Father's Day To All You Baby Daddies Out There
Happy Father's Day from all of us to all of you daddies out there. Our day was fun, yet it wasn't the same with Grady in Costa Rica. I took advantage of all the perks of the day, asking Jo Ann to bring me coffee and the paper in bed. Pablo slept in, waking up around 9:30. Pablo wanted to eat breakfast at our fave local spot, Mustard Seed on Hillhurst in Los Feliz.
The walls at Mustard Seed are filled with the work of Silverlake artists, including Mel Kadel, whose art adorns the cover of Dangerbird artist Silversun Pickups' EP Pikul. Today, a couple paintings by one of the MS servers caught our eye. The painting you see Pablo holding above is the one he chose, by Kelly Lynn Jones. It's gorgeous, and adds to his bedroom collection.
In a time like this, it's nice to be around familiarity. The MS staff, whom we've known for years (some since Pablo when he still in the oven) were incredibly sweet. Steven Scott from the bands Irving and Afternoons works there, and surprised us by picking up our brekkie. Totally
unexpected, and totally gracious. I have talked a lot about our LA-as-small-town experience, and our friends at Mustard Seed are a big part of that.
Mustard Seed is like the indie rock/neighborhood clubhouse. We run into people we know there all the time–friends, neighbors, bands. We always run into Obey/Giant mastermind and longtime friends Shepard and Amanda Fairey, and their beautiful daugters, Vivian and Madeline. Amanda asked Jo Ann how things are going, and Jo Ann began to cry. I'm not sure that she wants me to talk about this. But I want to, because it is part of our experience. She mentioned today that the blog sometimes feels like it's all about fun and funny stuff. I agree. I have been favoring those aspects–looking for them–because hope, light and positivity are the fuel that we need to get through this. It's not that Jo Ann's statement contradicted that. I took it to mean that there's more to what we're going through than odd observations about 'Pretty In Pink.' I agree. And I want to write more about the while experience going forward. Even the sad stuff.
For both of us and Grady, the sadness, fear and uncertainty come in waves, without warning. Crying is a useful release of all those things. Sometimes just crying feels like an internal emotional oil change; sometimes crying just leads to more tears.
All that said, we are not without hope. But, let's face it, regardless of how good the statistics and Pablo's actual condition are, he does have cancer. It's not like someone got our pizza delivery order wrong. This is serious business. Sometimes a look in Pablo's eye, or seeing him get frustrated because the DVD player is on the fritz, and thinking 'The damn DVD of Wallace And Gromit is makes him happy and that DVD player better get its act together!' Or the thought, 'Are the tumors getting smaller?' just slams you in the brain with the power of 1,000 Icees.
Fast forward to 4:30 p.m. We went to the Celtics / Lakers game (thanks to Peter and Brie for the tix!) with my cosmic comrade Sean McFarland (more on him in a future post), Francine and Ben. Matt and his girlfriend Seonna and her daughter Tigerlilly babysat Pablo. They all had a great time, coloring, playing swords (translation: Pablo stabbing Matt!), and eating In N Out Burger. Seonna dubbed these two five-year-old rascals 'Mr and Mrs Smith, Jr.' Here they are, in action:
We saw an incredible b-ball game. Sean's cousin Jordan is #5 on the Lakers. I was rooting for the Celtics. It was a rough game, cos his cuz was partially responsible for whoopin up on the Celts!
It felt good to go into an arena. And it felt good to have Matt and Seonna back at the house, knowing Pablo was in excellent, loving hands while we were rockin the bonics, looking for celebs.
Next holiday: Pablo's fifth bday this Saturday!
See you tomorrow.

So today I would have loved to give you a long interesting post, but alas this week is not my week! My laptop charger died last night, may he rest in peace, or pieces as the case may be. So I am having to quickly type this up whilst trying to eat lunch at work on a public PC. Not good. I feel kind of lost without the use of my laptop, as I can't blog without it and that is actually rather devastating. Luckily, I have an amazing sister who is coming down to meet me for lunch after work tomorrow and bringing a spare plug lead that should hopefully work!
So if you comment or follow the blog and I don't get back to you, this is why. I will get back to you all as soon as I get my laptop up and running again, fingers crossed it's tomorrow!
So that will be my musing for today. Has anyone had this happen to them?
Leave a link to your own MM and will get back to you as soon as I can!

AT&T and Time Warner Cable are desperate to get us used to metered internet, dressing up their plans in what Om Malik describes as "legal mumbo-jumbo that no human can actually understand."
AT&T Senior VP Robert Quinn got in front of the US regulators and said that the company would offer "non-overlapping tiers of broadband service, rather than its current offerings which go "up to" varying speeds of data transmission." He went onto add that, "When we provide broadband services based on speed, we will do so in discrete tiers that are disclosed to our end-user customers."
Translation: We are going to segment and meter the broadband service.
They're already using complicated, cellular-style plans to trick customers into paying for overages in test markets. By offering high speeds with extremely low caps, customers are quickly and quietly forced to start paying $1 for every gig they download. The quintessential example? One trial plan offers a monthly cap of 20GB on a 7mbps plan: you'd exhaust that allowance in only eight hours of maxed-out use at the offered speed.
Here's what I think is the clever part. Consumer activists want bandwidth treated like a utility, so metering it aligns well with a quid-pro-quo that networks might try to present: "You get some kind of net neutrality, but you pay for every single byte of it you get."
However, internet provision is not utility-like in one respect: it's a potentially unlimited resource that will become cheaper and cheaper as time goes by. It is to communications now as fusion power is to energy in science fiction. There is no serious long-term shortage of bandwidth, as internet service providers and their pet analysts assert. By getting us used to metered use now, your local cable monopoly will magic money out of air when "internet" is just a value added to the other services they pipe over the same data line.

- Brand: Irwin | Category: Miter Saws
- It was easy to install
- It projects a crisp clean line to the left of the blade (unless your blade retaining nut is on the right of the blade)
- It is very helpful with complex cuts or cutting complex material
- It is less helpful with straight cuts on square material (it's easier for you to know where the blade will be cutting in this regard)
- It was cheap
I bought mine at Lowe's, but you can find it (and more reviews) at Amazon here

I have one of these, very similar but I got it at Rockler a while back. I can't see the line very well when outdoors but I really like that it tells you ecactly where NOT to put your hand when making a bevel cut.

that looks cool. i always though about getting one but i like to use the blade to see where it will cut.

Hmmm. I wonder how it would work on a table saw? What size arbor does a miter saw have?

Thanks for the review. I have one of these as well. It works fine inside but, as Bob said, outside it is impossible to see in the sunlight. Since it projects slightly left of the cut line it does take some getting used to but it is a nice addition to a miter saw.

I have also used this item but I have 2 installed on the miter saw; one on either side of the blade. The batteries have lasted almost 2 years without fail. My shop is in the basement so any additional light i can generate is welcome.

I have a Rigid 12" in saw and I can't find one that'll work on it. I sure wish I could find one to. I've used them before and they are a great addition to a miter saw. I see the new Rigids have them but the new lasers don't fit the older saws. mike

I have an INFINITER laser BEAM on my Dewalt Miter Saw ….And to answer Gary K question of how does it work on a table saw ..AS you know, the laser beam tool is about the size of a silver dollar maybe just a bit larger in diameter…It is mounted on the arbor and the speed of turning blade/laser lite projects laser beam down and below the blade of a miter saw .

In reference to using one on the table saw.
I know how it functions. It would work the same on a miter saw as a table saw.
Sometimes I nibble away to get to just the right spot where I want to cut. I have to bend over the workpiece to check it out anyway. If the laser were consistant I could use it for my starting cut.
As long as I didn't have a zero clerance insert installed I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

#11 posted 05-30-2008 01:36 PM
I guess your right Gary, it would project a line up onto the front edge of the board, that you would be able to see if you bent over the table. That would take the guesswork out of where your starting cut would be. I have done that leaning over the saw thing a few times to look at the starting kerf…I never got a really great feeling doing it, so I try not to!

I have one on the De Walt miter saw on extended semi-permanent loan from a friend working in Iraq. As previously stated, it's a little dim outdoors, but almost perfectly flush with the side of the blade. I really like it.
I liked the first one enough I picked up another one to try and put on my Ryobi cordless circular saw. However it didn't work too well for that application.
On a table saw I'd worry about the laser pointing up and basically into my eyes.
Have your say...
