Earnings Calendar Jul & Aug 2020: Gaming, Media & Tech Companies
July 28, 2020 DomsPlaying
Hope all is well everyone. Given the difficult circumstances, especially here in the States.
(WEAR A MASK!)
There's still not much else to do these days besides talk about gaming, media and tech amirite? Good news is there's a bevy of information dropping recently and in the near future from companies about the status of their businesses amid the coronavirus landscape.
Helping navigate is my quarterly earnings calendar covering these major sectors. Above is the image for quick reference and below is the usual Google Doc with everything including investor links.
Working Casual Earnings Calendar Jul & Aug 2020: Gaming, Media & Tech Companies
I recommend keeping a close eye in particular on the three companies below as you hopefully stay safe during this time.
Ubisoft Entertainment SA (UBI): Wednesday, July 22
The maker of games in major franchises like Assassin's Creed and the Tom Clancy lineage actually reported already last week in what was the most significant communication from a PR standpoint in its recent history. As shared by various outlets including an extensive article from Bloomberg, multiple Ubisoft executives are facing ongoing allegations of sexual abuse or misconduct including the main creative officer of the company Serge Hascoët who recently resigned.
The French publisher's numerical performance was sound, with increases in sales and engagement for catalog titles especially, yet the real topic was the company's approach to addressing toxicity in its studios. CEO Yves Guillemot claims to be committed to changing its culture. Which desperately needs to happen on a broad scale. It's way too early to know if he will, at least the company has a plan in place to move towards a more welcoming environment for everyone. Especially women, people of color and LGBTQ employees.
Sony Corp (SNE): Tuesday, August 4
Sony is a sizeable company with a diverse set of ventures, though its gaming division continues to be the feature especially this summer. We'll notice the impact even more in its latest quarter due to the flagship release of The Last of Us Part II in June. Like many critics, I showered Naughty Dog's latest with praise in my recent review. This widespread critical admiration is translating to commercial success as the game was the fastest-selling PlayStation 4 exclusive ever, selling-through 4 million copies in three days and the number one grossing title in the United States during the month of June.
The Japanese tech conglomerate should also benefit from growing PlayStation Plus memberships, which reached 41.5 million last quarter up from 36.4 million the prior year, plus higher demand in its other consumer businesses amidst continuing stay-at-home situations globally. Just as intriguing will be its forecasts for future quarters and the upcoming fiscal year, given the significance of its PlayStation 5 release this holiday.
Walt Disney Co (DIS): Tuesday, August 4
Disney is one of those companies that experiences both sides of virus impact. Coronavirus has naturally caused massive disruption in its park and cruise operations, resulting in significant earnings declines last quarter. Though the media leader benefits financially in subscriptions to its Disney+ streaming service, which totaled 54.5 million users as of its last quarterly report. Compare this to the 33.5 million in March and you can see the potential as the virus looms or even returns in areas.
In arguably its biggest get yet, the movie version of Broadway hit play Hamilton launched on the service in early July, surging downloads by 74% over its debut weekend. There's also the sports angle, as the National Basketball Association (NBA) is set to restart its season this Thursday, July 30 exclusively at the ESPN Wide World of Sports at its Florida location. While these latest developments won't impact the latest quarter-ending results, Disney's forecast for future growth will reveal how much they can offset the lower park and vacation revenue near term.
Thank you again to all those on the front lines of fighting the coronavirus, and to those working through the pandemic wherever you are whether it's helping to deliver packages or working essential retail.
Hopefully chatting about these industries, companies, products and experiences can help during the downtime. Appreciate the visit!

It's a me!
Let's talk video games, the gaming industry and related businesses including media and technology in a way that we all can understand. And review games!
I intend to ask relevant questions related to these industries, and offer critical thought and an informed perspective on these topics. Not to mention, chatting about which games I'm playing and tech I'm using, as ultimately I'm a researcher, enthusiast and consumer.

Lords sophomore Isak Davis (Richmond, VA/Geneva School) had Kenyon's only victory during the Classic with a mile time of 4:30.

Micro Needling creates visible results with no downtime. The skin needling treatment helps reduce ageing lines, scars, stretch marks and skin concerns.
This type of skin treatment stimulates the skin to regenerate and repair itself naturally and safely, creating visible results with minimal downtime. Micro Needling can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines, scars, stretch marks and other skin concerns.
The idea behind Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) is similar to that of many other non-surgical skin-tightening procedures in that it aims to create a controlled injury underneath the skin's surface, thereby inducing the body to respond through the formation of new tissue layers of elastin – and collagen fibres (neo-collagenesis) as well as new capillaries for an improved blood supply (neo-angiogenesis) in the treated area. The skin plumps and thickens in response to this stimulus, ultimately reducing the appearance of scars, and fine lines and other skin texture changes. In addition to CIT, the channels made from the micro-needles allow topical gels and creams to be absorbed more effectively through the top layer of skin.
Micro needling improves the skin by improving thickness of the dermis as well as the epidermis. This in return improves skin texture and reduces wrinkles. It can also have a positive effect on hyper-pigmentation as well as on hypo-pigmentation. Disfiguring scars, especially acne scars, can many times also be improved. New collagen fibres elevate any depressed scar tissue. An improved blood supply (neo-angiogenesis) into the previous fibrotic scar tissue also harmonises and blends the pigmentation with the periphery skin.
How does Micro Needling compare with other skin treatments?
As already mentioned, medical micro needling is a non-ablative treatment i.e does not remove the top layer of skin. Alternatives are the ablative skin treatments such as lasers, chemical peels and dermabrasions which do remove the top layer of skin and subsequently have more down time and associated side effects and possible risks. However, in situations where the top layer of skin is more obviously affected with more severe changes in colour, wrinkles and quality of skin, then ablative treatments may be indicated and preferred over non ablative skin treatments.
What areas of the body and face can I do?
How Is Dermapen Different From Dermal Needling Rollers?
This is discussed during a free consultation.Generally, the microneedling cost depends on which area are treating and the size of that area .A treatment is put together for each client, at which point cost is discussed. Treatment decisions are based on each patient's individual needs and desired results. Medical micro-needling can be used in conjunction with other treatments such as PRP( Platelet Rich Plasma) or meso needling.
How Is Dermapen Different From Laser?
Unlike lasers, Dermapen breaks up pigment mechanically and stimulates the collagen formation without heat. Removing heat from the equation makes for a safer, more comfortable treatment with a very low complication rate.
No heat also equals less downtime! Most Eclipse Dermapen patients are red for 24 hours or less. That advantage means you can get the procedure performed on a Friday and be back to normal for work on Monday.
A sterile cartridge containing 12 tiny micro-points is attached to the Dermapen. Your skincare professional will apply a thin layer of topical gel to your skin and select the appropriate treatment setting based on your unique needs.
Next, in a single motion, the pen will be gently pressed against the skin while simultaneously gliding until the entire treatment area has been covered. This process results in thousands of superficial microscopic channels throughout the entire treatment area.


Excerpts from "Wild Strawberries" & "The Magician"
The Seventh Seal 1957 - 96 min. - Black and White Genre: Drama Not Rated Country: USA LaserDisc Movie Review: Antonius Block (Max Von Sydow), a knight, returns from a 10-year crusade with his squire, Jons (Gunnar Bjornstrand), to find his homeland ravaged by the plague. When the black-cloaked figure of Death (Bengt Ekerot) appears to claim them, Block, whose war experiences have left him cynical about the existence of God and the afterlife, challenges Death to a game of chess to stall for time and gain some insight into the meaning of life before passing on. The game is intermittently paused and resumed during the journey home while Block and Jons meet several traveling companions, including a mute girl (Gunnel Lindblom) whom they save from a bandit, and a family of poor traveling players--Jof, a gentle visionary (Nils Poppe); his wife, Mia (Bibi Andersson); and their infant daughter. Block witnesses much suffering and anguish along the way (an encounter with a woman accused of witchcraft who is about to be burned at the stake is especially jarring) but also finds evidence of human kindness and love, prompting him to realize that even a single gesture of goodwill might make the long struggle of his existence worthwhile. The title of Ingmar Bergman's highly acclaimed allegorical film stems from the Book of Revelation. Thanks for Visiting DaDon's Rare LaserDiscs !

Q: Remember me. Cookie Security - How to encode only for that computer I created a remember me cookie, containing userid (encrypted and in HTTPS).
Everything works. Now I am worried that if someone copies cookie from one computer to another (other person has access to the first computer) and use the same browser it will log in as that user. How do you overcome that security hole?.
Maybe I am not understanding the mechanics well. I googled but can't find a good solution approach, everything I red points to this is a security issue.
Is there an attribute of the original machine/browser that I can use to make the cookie value? (I know I can't get MAC address from JS, may there there are other variables that I don't know about)

Osaka Takoyaki is one of the newest Japanese restaurant chains in the Philippines. Having only started in January 2015, Osaka Takoyaki now has more than 40 branches nationwide. What makes their menu different from other Japanese restaurants is that their food offerings are specifically served in Osaka prefecture. Osaka is known to be a place where sumptuous dishes are made, thus it is a well-known location to enjoy street food.
Trying Osaka Takoyaki for the first time, I visited their newly-opened branch at SM City Cabanatuan last month. Together with my husband and mother-in-law, we tried some of their dishes, including the famous Takoyaki.
The restaurant projects an inviting ambiance, having a huge dining space and immense photos of their foods plastered on the wall. Chopsticks and plates on wooden tables, as well as cushioned chairs await customers. We chose to seat at the far end corner of the restaurant and we were handed menus as soon as we settled on our table.
Their menu had various offerings such as Okonomiyaki, Yakisoba, Yakiudon, Gyoza, Tofu Steak, Ramen, and a lot more. Of course, they have Takoyaki, which I love in any recipe, so it's only natural for me to order their original recipe.
For my main dish, I got myself a bowl of Tonkotsu Ramen while my husband ordered Shoyu Tonkotsu. My mother-in-law asked for the server's recommendation, so she ordered Scrambled Egg Yakisoba – a bestseller.
First to arrive on our table is their signature, original Takoyaki. This one had octopus bits and the balls were drizzled with Takoyaki sauce, mayonnaise, and bonito flakes. Their original Takoyaki does taste good, although I noticed that the individual size as well as the quantity of their Takoyaki is too small for its price. I would have liked it better, too if they served us a newly-cooked batch, because the balls were already wrinkled and cold.
The second dish to arrive was the Scrambled Egg Yakisoba served on a hot plate. The noodles were enveloped in a generous amount of scrambled egg, drizzled with sauce and mayonnaise, and topped with green onions. My initial reaction having a bite of this yakisoba is that it's too salty. However, once I ate more, I got used to the taste which isn't bad at all. It's actually filling, so an order is good enough for two to three people.
Our bowls of ramen were served last on our table. I appreciate that the soup of my Tonkotsu Ramen is far from salty. It had a light taste, though not as tasty as I wanted it to be. The pork slices were thicker than what I expected and than what I am used to – though I didn't feel like the pork flavor became apparent in the broth. My husband's serving of Shoyu Tonkotsu Ramen had a little bit of pork taste, though not as flavorful as he expected. The noodles were cooked just right, but we were not sure if these are freshly made noodles or not. I know for sure my husband didn't like the ramen (I didn't like mine, too), because he didn't finish his meal.
To round up, I think Osaka Takoyaki has made the look and feel of their restaurant inviting, but the food that we had didn't measure up to the price they were asking for. The food isn't bad, but it's not that good either. If there's one dish I'd recommend (based on our order), it would just be their Takoyaki. Other than that, the rest of our order is a miss for me.

Q: the css property "clear" leaves a huge empty space I am simply using a div of this nature to clear an area after floats:
.clear {
clear:both;
}

however, I am seeing it is causing a big space in my formatting and I'm not sure how to rid of it. what do you think may be happening?
thank you!

A: In case anyone else runs into this problem, the solution is to add this to the group's parent; that is the element that is causing the problems:
overflow: auto
i.e.:

Testing

A: Try to use a line height , it should fix the problem.
Is it happening only on IE , if so add line height
do something like this
.clear {
        clear: both;
        height: 0px;
        overflow: hidden;
    }

A: I would just apply the clear: both attribute to the next content element (i.e. div) instead of creating an empty div (which I'm assuming that you are doing).
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/wdm954/ArDhF/1/

A: I had the same problem with several small left-floating tables next to each other. The clear div afterwards took a lot of white space without having any height, nor padding or margin.
The solution: Wrap all tables within a div, then assign overflow-hidden to that div and (this is important) a value for the height.
E.g.
.tablecontainer {
    height: 70px;
    overflow: hidden;
}

We offer design, engineering, FEA (Finite Element Analysis) services, molds, and fixtures.
We specialize in the low-volume production of hollow plastic parts. With multiple molds we can also handle your high volume needs.
There are many types and grades of plastic resins used in rotational molding. Depending on the design of the finished part, several variables need to be considered: density (stiffness of flexibility), melt index (flow rate), low temperature impact, high temperature distortion, ultra-violet stability, FDA acceptability, environment stress crack resistance (ESCR), and chemical resistance.
The most widely used material currently available for rotomolding is polyethylene. Although Integrity manufactures parts utilizing polypropylene, nylon, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), and other specialized materials, the vast majority are produced with polyethylene.


Longtime PUMA ambassador Usain Bolt recently updated his Instagram account by posting an image of J. Cole standing alongside fellow PUMA signees Cara Delevigne, Adriana Lima and Formula 1's Max Verstappen, suggesting that the rapper is the next major celebrity signee PUMA has planned.
Coincidentally, PUMA's senior marketing manager Clyde Edwards teased Cole's involvement with the brand with a cryptic tweet that read "The ROC is in the building." For those that are not familiar, ROC refers to JAY-Z's Roc Nation label, which is also where J. Cole is signed.
A long time fan of Air Jordan 1s, J. Cole also surprisingly rocked a pair of PUMA sneakers during the 2019 NBA All-Star Game halftime show, adding fuel to the rumor.
Although no official announcement has been made, things have definitely alluded to Cole jumping on board with PUMA. If true, J. Cole would be joining the likes of Big Sean and JAY-Z at PUMA.


Much to the relief of news directors everywhere, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) released this week its long-awaited report about the Biggest Lie that the baddest people believe: The myth of black on white crime. The real problem is white on black violence, says the SPLC in its new fairy tale called "Hate: The Biggest Lie." And this white on black crime has been going on for a long time, doing a lot of damage, including from killers like Dylan Roof.............Cops at the Second City Blog site don't have problem saying what they see on the streets -- but never in Chicago's legacy media: Black crime is out of control and spreading. It's not hard to find similar violence and denial in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Brooklyn, New Orleans, and hundreds of other Chocolate Cities. And let's not forget Des Moines (Beat Whitey Night!), Cedar Rapids, Omaha, Springfield, (Missouri or Illinois or Ohio, it does not matter), and lots of other cities in the Heartland where people used to think they were safe to the point of boredom. Not anymore.

Carrying the can

Peugeot in China
Legacy worries
Moving bodies and parts from A to B demands a flexible conveyor system and it's a case of mix and match for most OEMs
There are a number of options available when it comes to conveying work in progress in automotive facilities but they generally fall into three types: roller conveyor, belt conveyor or programmable electric suspension monorail.
While chain-driven conveyors are still performing well for many manufacturing operations around the globe, most modern facilities are employing a more modular approach, with either an overhead monorail conveyor for engines and sub-assemblies or a floor-based pallet system for bodies.
"When it comes to conveyors, we mainly use carrier hooks, skids that circulate on roller tables and crescent systems," says Pascal Milliot, General Manager of Renault's body Assembly Engineering department. "When we use a carry-over process, we maximise the re-use of means of transport. However, we work with specific jigs that we have to change or make more capacity-oriented. With the current demand for flexibility, this specific jig strategy is reaching its limits as it requires substantial investment. This is the reason why other solutions are currently under study."
It is a similar situation at two US-based facilities. "We use many different forms of conveyors in bodyweld," Sutton Davis, Manager of Body Weld/Manufacturing at Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky, explains. "From linear motor, motion control, inverter driven, rack-and-pinion to the standard chain-driven slat systems – all of these are legacy systems. As for coping with flexible demands, we have experienced few problems with the integration of these systems with newer technology and they have proven flexible in adapting to process change."
In Tennessee, the Nissan operation echoes that sentiment. "We use a mixture of floor conveyors and overhead," John Davenport, Department Manager of Body Assembly, Nissan US, says. "We have some of the older style chain-driven conveyors and at the same time, in some of our newer equipment, we have floor conveyors that are electric beltdriven – friction conveyors.
"I think that the chain-driven conveyors at this point are a thing of the past. Friction drive conveyors are the way to go, not only from the standpoint of initial capital but also from the standpoint of ongoing maintenance of that system and its flexibility."
One vendor taking an innovative approach to conveying systems is Dürr. The Stuttgart-based manufacturer has received a turnkey contract from Dongfeng Peugeot Citroën Automobile Company (DPCA) to design a new assembly line at its Wuhan, China facility. The new plant, due to come online from April 2009, producing four vehicle types on two different platforms with a total of 44 units per hour, will incorporate conveyor elements at all assembly transfer points, including the paint shop.
The project centres on a chassis line drawing on the proven reliability of power- and free-conveyor technology, skillets for the trim line and a dual-strand slat conveyor for the final assembly line. A complete water test booth with a slat conveyor, power- and free conveyors for door and equipment module assembly and roller conveyors for motor sub-assembly lines are all covered in the plan, as are electric monorail systems for the loading of pallets prior to the marriage procedure.
The project includes one special aspect: the supply of four modules from the FAStplant range. This modular system is quite independent of the building in which it is installed and each module is a self-contained unit. The modules are made up of self-supporting structural steelwork as well as mechanical and electrical elements for the overhead conveyor technology – in this case a twin trolley system (TTS). Utilities, such as compressed air, lighting and energy supply, are completely integrated in the modules. It is also possible to suspend the handling equipment required for each operational cycle. A fullyflexible system, it can be extended or relocated without difficulty and will be used by DPCA for training purposes. It will allow DPCA to try out production processes on a 'close to reality' basis while training employees.
Thousands of warehouses built in the 1970s are reaching the end of their working lives, leaving businesses to face major investments to replace inefficient conveying equipment, inadequate control systems and outdated software. But a system that at first appears to be too tired to resuscitate could still be a candidate for refurbishment. "Mechanical advances in conveyor technology in the past 40 years haven't been so significant that older equipment can't be upgraded, and while control systems have improved dramatically, introducing new control systems to refurbished conveying equipment can produce dramatic improvements in performance," explains Marcus Hunter of Excel Automation.
"Software has, of course, improved beyond recognition, but like most technological advances of the last 40 years, functionality has improved and prices have reduced. So the highly-specialised, bespoke software that would have taken thousands of man-hours to write and cost many hundreds of thousands of pounds to buy, can now be bought off-theshelf for closer to £100,000.
"Safety is an additional but important consideration. Since the 1970s and '80s, when many high-bay warehouses were built, safety requirements have increased and the regulations restricting personnel from entering areas where automatic equipment is operating are much more stringent. The padlocked door of the '70s has been replaced with electrically-controlled guard doors that will stop the process if the door is opened but, under controlled circumstances, will allow power to be restored for maintenance."
So the advice of Hunter is that before automotive OEMs and tier suppliers consider scrapping an old conveying system, they should at least talk to a materials-handling specialist about the potential for refurbishment and rebuild, a view shared by senior production engineers with many of the leading automotive manufacturers.

Can cycling give you a 'third testicle'?
Rare condition caused by saddle chaffing stimulates growth of 'cyclist's nodule'
Cycling Weekly October 8, 2014 1:31 pm
By Simon Schofield
We've heard of some strange physical effects of a life in the saddle – but this one might take the biscuit.
Thankfully, according to the South African scientists who've documented the condition, it is rare. But some cyclists have been diagnosed with a 'third testicle'.
The more scientific term is a 'cyclist's nodule' and it's caused by constant rubbing in the saddle area.
The repeated vibration and friction between the ischial tuberosities (that's your sit bones) and the saddle can lead to the development of a tender, firm, soft-tissue nodule around three centimetres in size.
"The condition is termed a third, or accessory, testicle", say the scientists.
"Symptoms include pain on pressure and when sitting in the saddle which may even require the cyclist to give up the sport," says the report in the South African Journal of Sports Medicine.
Treatment can include a local steroid injection or, in worse cases, the nodule has to be removed with surgery. Even, then it can recur, says the researchers.
Even more bizarrely, the researchers came across a 'third testicle' case in a female cyclist. It was so large that the 29 year old rider was advised to give up cycling. She refused.
"She opted to change the saddle which appears to have helped," says the report.

Cannabis Strategic Ventures (OTC: NUGS) (NUGS Profile) shows this integrated approach, bringing together cultivation, product sales and personnel services for the cannabis industry. Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) is working across borders on international research to create better cannabis-based medicines. Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE: CGC) (TSX: WEED) has benefited hugely from the surge in investor attention, receiving billions in investment from the beverage sector. CBD products are allowing parts of the cannabis sector to achieve widespread acceptance, thanks to the work of companies like Charlotte's Web Holdings, Inc. (OTCQX: CWBHF) (CSE: CWEB). All of this means a rise in sales for suppliers of hydroponic equipment such as GrowGeneration Corp. (OTCQX: GRWG).
The legal cannabis industry is one of the newest in the world and one weighed down with a great deal of baggage. Decades in the legal wilderness have tainted the public image of the drug, leaving many potential customers and investors with a negative knee-jerk reaction to the sector and its products. Even now, as legal cannabis becomes more common on a state-by-state basis, the U.S. industry is held back by lingering federal laws enacted as a result of the war on drugs.
This has created challenges for cannabis companies in search of finance. Both the legal restrictions in the United States and historical prejudice against the industry have made it hard to find mainstream investors. But with the market expanding and profits rising significantly year on year, that looks set to change.
In the United States, the cannabis industry is taking off in a big way. California is the largest of the nine state-sized markets for recreational cannabis, so it makes sense that the state has become home to many of the companies working in the sector, such as Cannabis Strategic Ventures (OTC: NUGS). But the seeds for the rise of these companies lie elsewhere.
The first signs of the huge potential for a legal cannabis market came in 1996, when California passed Proposition 215, the first law making medical cannabis legal in a U.S. state. The medical market quickly took off, with legal companies moving into a business previously owned entirely by criminals, while other states considered such legislation of their own. Just over 20 years later, 31 states have legal medical cannabis markets, and a whole host of companies have sprung up to cater to them. Knowledge of cannabis's benefits has also grown swiftly, thanks to these companies' research efforts.
But the biggest bellwether for growth in the recreational market has come from north of the border. This October, Canada became the first G8 country to legalize recreational cannabis on a national level. The result is a tightly regulated and quickly growing industry that is setting an example for the rest of the world.
That example holds out great promise for the likes of companies such as Cannabis Strategic Ventures. Cannabis Strategic Ventures has taken a portfolio approach to the cannabis sector, developing a range of brands covering areas such as cannabis oil, concentrate extraction services, staffing for the cannabis sector, and most recently cannabis cultivation itself.
The industry is growing quickly, with analysts predicting that it will reach $65 billion by 2023. That's creating plenty of space for companies such as Cannabis Strategic Ventures to grow. It's also drawing the attention of investors.
The cannabis industry didn't initially attract a lot of funding from investors. The potential of cannabis as a legal market was unclear, and it came with risks thanks to the drug's illegality at a federal level. Investors couldn't yet see much potential for profit, and they were wary of throwing their financial lot in with such a dubious group.
Now, however, the market has had time to mature. The sector isn't just a handful of cultivators and retailers trying to work on an untested business model. There are specialist cannabis tech firms, research outfits and umbrella companies such as Cannabis Strategic Ventures. It's looking more and more like a conventional market sector — though a market sector subject to staggering growth.
The result is a growing surge of investment. Since January this year, U.S. cannabis companies have raised more than $8.2 billion of investment, while their Canadian cousins raised $2.2 billion in October alone.
Getting listed on a stock exchange is invaluable to a getting a company's stocks in front of powerful investors and thus raising additional funds. Larger cannabis companies are looking at moving from the Toronto exchange to the New York Stock Exchange, the largest stock market in the world, while others such as Cannabis Strategic Ventures are preparing for their first listings.
Investors are more prepared now to take a chance on the cannabis market. Stock exchange presence will allow cannabis companies to tap into that potential and so to take a stronger place in a fast-growing market.
The American cannabis industry is a fractured one. Without the well-established business relationships and support structures of longer-standing sectors, many of the pieces are small and disjointed. Progress has been driven primarily by small startups.
The same moment of maturity that has brought the recent wave of investment has also brought the seeds of change for the industry's structure. Some companies are using mergers and takeovers to build bigger businesses focused on particular parts of the sector, benefiting from the efficiencies these acquisitions bring. Others are diversifying to create companies with greater reach across the sector and even potential to take it to new places. Cannabis Strategic Ventures, for example, is expanding its product lines to include beauty products even as it adds cultivation to its portfolio for greater vertical integration.
Within the industry, one of the big fractures in the United States is that between the different states. With cannabis still illegal under federal laws, businesses have to operate within the borders of individual states with their own local regulations. Though some companies have operations in several states, it's not yet possible to create a properly integrated national operation, at least in part because of states where the drug remains entirely illegal. But with the White House hinting at potential reform, this is something that could change over the next few years. While politicians respond slowly to public and investor demand for a more efficient and integrated cannabis sector, it's the companies that are leading the way.
Despite the limitations they face, cannabis companies are finding ways to come together and cooperate, both within the United States and across international borders.
Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY), a leading medical cannabis company, is supporting research work beyond the borders of the United States. As a supplier of materials for clinical trials in Canada and Australia, Tilray working with other research-oriented companies to increase understanding of the effects of cannabis and develop better treatments based upon it. These could be invaluable in treating such problems as chemotherapy-induced nausea and childhood epilepsy. And while the work has an invaluable humanitarian element, it's also appealing to investors who recognize the profits present in the pharmaceutical industry.
Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE: CGC) (TSX: WEED) is one of the great investment success stories. One of Canada's largest cannabis companies, it has attracted several billion dollars of investment from Constellation Brands, an American drinks manufacturer. This represents an interesting twist on integration within the cannabis industry, with an alcohol company looking to get involved in other recreational chemicals. Tobacco companies have been taking a similar interest in cannabis, and the industry may one day bleed over into one or both of these related sectors.
Already connected into the cannabis industry is industrial hemp, a form of cannabis that doesn't get users high. Recent years have seen a surge in sales of cannabidiol (CBD) products, which use a compound extracted from industrial hemp. Companies such as Charlotte's Web Holdings, Inc. (OTCQX: CWBHF) (CSE: CWEB) have had huge success is developing and marketing CBD-based health and wellness products. These products are gaining mainstream acceptance, with Charlotte's Web getting its products into three thousand outlets.
The success of cannabis growers and retailers has been a boon for companies providing the products and services they need. GrowGeneration Corp. (OTCQX: GRWG), which supplies hydroponic systems and nutrients used in growing cannabis, has seen a massive rise in sales off the back of legalization initiatives. The company's sales went up by 80 percent in 2017, and it has acquired several smaller companies to help it make the most of this surging demand.
Greater investment helps companies to achieve these successes, which in turn draw in greater investment. As more cannabis companies hit the big stock exchanges, the industry looks set to see its growth continue.


Youth With a Mission International was founded in 1960 by Loren Cunningham with a vision to see waves of youth covering the nations proclaiming the gospel. YWAM is now in 1000 locations in over 149 countries, with a staff of nearly 16,000. For more information visit the YWAM International website.
Our vision is to train and equip Romanians and other people of the world to know God intimately and make Him known in Romania and other nations of the world.
In 2002, Ove and Darlene began to feel the Lord telling them it was time for Romanians to rise up and take charge of the ministry. So in 2005, a leadership team of two Romanians and one American was established. The plan with this leadership team was that one of them would eventually take the lead.
In 2006, the leadership team began to sense that God wanted someone else in charge. Two Former students who where now married and faithfully serving ay YWAM Cluj, Alin and Gabi Ciorogar, were asked to take the leadership of the ministry in 2007 and they are now the directors of YWAM Cluj. They are first Romanian couple to lead our ministry.
After the fall of Communism in 1989, Romania was flooded with evangelism teams from all over the world and thousands of Romanians opened their hearts to the Lord. However, few missionaries stayed to disciple the new believers. After leading a short term missions team to Romania in 1992, the Lord asked Darlene and Ove Edskerud, an American/Norwegian YWAM couple, to disciple Romanians to arise and shine for the glory of the Lord. They said "yes" and in 1994 Darlene and Ove, along with a team of 10 Americans, pioneered a permanent Youth With A Mission discipleship and missions training center in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
Since 1994, YWAM Cluj-Napoca Arise Romania! has been meeting the spiritual and humanitarian needs within Romania and across its borders.
Thanks to Ove and Darlene's passion for Romania, more then 630 people have been trained and sent out to arise and shine for the glory of the Lord!
Thank you Ove and Darlene. You have changed this nation and our lives forever!


The following notes are from Vinjai, a student I met online. He graciously shares and offers the tips here on how to tackle those harder Mathcounts counting problems.
The point of the grid is to create a bijection in a problem that makes it easier to solve. Since the grid just represents a combination, it can be adapted to work with any problem whose answer is a combination.
This corresponds to a = 3, b = 0, c = 5.
The red path corresponds to the same arrangement: a = 3, b = 0, c = 5. The increase corresponds to the value: a goes from 0 to 3 (that is an increase of 3), b goes from 3 to 3 (that is an increase of 0), and c goes from 3 to 8 (that is an increase of 5). So a = 3, b = 0, c = 5.
Likewise, using a clever 1-1 correspondence, you can map practically any problem with an answer of nCk to fit the grid method. The major advantage of this is that it is an easier way to think about the problem (just like the example I gave may be easier to follow than the original stars and bars approach, and the example I gave in class with the dice can also be thought of in a more numerical sense).

The Geopolitics of Compassion
Beyond the spectacle of the presidential race, the Washington consensus pursues business as usual. This is the season in which I wonder, with an ever-intensifying sense of urgency, what it would take to turn our political system into a democracy.
"And yet the militarization of the United States and the strengthening of the national security complex continues to accelerate," Tom Engelhardt wrote earlier this month. "The Pentagon is, by now, a world unto itself. . . ."
And as the world's major powers play a 21st-century version of the "Great Game" to control the resources of the world, the U.S., in contrast with China, writes David Vine, "has focused relentlessly on military might as its global trump card, dotting the planet with new bases and other forms of military power."
We're a hyper-militarized global empire, dominating if not quite "ruling" — a word, after all, that implies order and stability — a large swath of the world by brute physical, as well as economic, force. This is not a debated issue, simply what "we" do, or rather, what unelected decision makers do in our name, and will continue to do regardless of the outcome of the 2012 presidential election. Even if there's majority support, or would be, if it were sought, for America's pursuit of empire, the quiet secrecy of it, and the complete lack of accountability, are deeply troubling.
We go to war, or the equivalent of war, whenever and wherever we feel like it, killing civilians, destabilizing societies, waving our red flag. Engelhardt, in his essay on "the Failure of the Military Option," summarizes the disastrous consequences we've inflicted on much of the world just since 2001, in our ill-considered interventions and globalized pursuit of manifest destiny. We've created chaos, inspired deep hatred and often undercut our own interests pretty much everywhere we've swaggered, including Pakistan, Iran, Yemen, Bahrain, Syria, Somalia, Egypt and Libya — as well, of course, as Afghanistan and Iraq.
Yet none of its failures have given the U.S. military the least pause in throwing its muscle around somewhere else, or building new bases. In his 2007 book Nemesis: The Last Days of the American Republic, the late Chalmers Johnson noted: "If there were an honest count, the actual size of our military empire would probably top 1,000 different bases overseas, but no one — possibly not even the Pentagon — knows the exact number for sure." He added: "America's version of the colony is the military base."
Once again, I add that this staggeringly costly undertaking is an ongoing fait accompli. Decisions that further the reach of the American empire have no public resonance; they're simply made and implemented, altering the world, perpetuating global tensions and destroying lives, while the American public and the corporate media, accepting their powerlessness, distract themselves with trivia.
This is geopolitics, a collision and collusion of impersonal forces, as removed from ordinary humanity as gravity, weather and continental drift. The best we can do is live our lives around it, right? Feelings don't enter into it, beyond the cries of the wounded and the survivors, and the occasional meaningless apology of one government to another: The collateral damage was "regrettable." This is the game of history.
Deepak Tripathi, writing a few days ago for CounterPunch, described the relentless grind and push of nations against each other. The large and powerful remain in a state of wary respect toward one another, in alliance or competition. The weak become compliant satellites of "the hegemon" — the United States — or defiant outcasts, ripe for invasion and occupation.
"Beyond these categories," he writes, "are the discarded –– completely failed entities like Somalia, Ethiopia, Mali, where utterly poor and miserable people live.
"The hegemon and satellites have not a care in the world for the welfare of such people, except sending drones or troops from neighboring client states to kill those described as 'terrorists.' What desperate poverty and misery lead to has no space within the realm of this thinking."
And this is the world over which we seemingly have no influence. Theoretically, democracy gives all citizens some power in the realm of geopolitics, in whether our country behaves as an empire, brutally and clumsily asserting its influence around the world, or displays a new and unprecedented sort of leadership, recognizing the sanctity of life and the wholeness of the planet.
I know, this sounds naïve to the point of absurdity, especially because what I'm really talking about is power — the power to disarm an empire, the power to redefine the nation's interests, the power to bring compassion (synonymous with sanity) to the realm of geopolitics. Who am I kidding?
"We urgently need to make compassion a clear, luminous and dynamic force in our polarized world. Rooted in a principled determination to transcend selfishness, compassion can break down political, dogmatic, ideological and religious boundaries. Born of our deep interdependence, compassion is essential to human relationships and to a fulfilled humanity. It is the path to enlightenment, and indispensable to the creation of a just economy and a peaceful global community."
So reads the Charter for Compassion, one of many global cries for a new way of being, which includes a new, demilitarized geopolitics. This can only happen if democracy becomes, once again, a force of history.


Get Stellar Participation When You Ask Your Kids Class Questions!
Have you ever attended a seminar, workshop or class where the presenter/teacher asks a question, and nobody wants to answer? Maybe they don't know the answer, or they're afraid of being wrong.
It can be frustrating to the teacher, students and spectators when cricket chirps follow a question. This silence not only disrupts the flow of what is being taught, but it makes things a little uncomfortable.
This may have happened in your own martial arts classes, especially if you teach kids. Instead, wouldn't you like to encourage and improve verbal participation in class? Are you ready to see all your students raising their hands with enthusiasm when you ask a question?
STEP 1. Know what you are going to ask before you ask it.
Don't just come up with a random question on the fly, or ask only for the sake of asking a question. Make it part of your lesson that day. Plan ahead and prepare.
If you follow the next steps laid out here and ask this question at the proper time (at the end) you will have great success and a new formula for engaging students in class.
STEP 2. Prime the pump.
Tell your audience how to practice a round kick to the head. Yes, you will give them the answer. Be sure that you have constructed your ideas ahead of time.
Let's say that you have decided that stretching, balance and good form are the three essential elements for a successful roundhouse kick to the head (you don't have to agree with these elements, but for the purposes of this class-engagement example, we'll use these).
Warm up the class with some kicks and then have your students stretch. While they are stretching, tell them that being flexible is one of the keys to being able to kick higher. You can reinforce this by having them kick after stretching and ask one or two students, "Isn't your kick higher now that you have stretched?" Then tell the class, again, that stretching is key to being able to kick higher.
Don't worry about repeating yourself too many times. Just like you have to practice a move multiple times to get it correct, your students may need to hear information several times before they truly commit it to memory.
Next, focus on the second element: balance. Instruct students to practice chambering, but not kicking. Let them know that proper balance helps to achieve great chambers, which in turn lead to great kicks.
Have your students pair up and see who can chamber the fastest, then the highest. While they are practicing with each other, compliment their balance.
The person who keeps their chamber leg up the longest wins. Then have a contest between the winners in each group. Make a point of acknowledging that the winner used really great balance, and that that is one of the elements of a great kick. Tell little Susie that she has great kicking potential because of her ability to balance so well.
Lastly, work on good form, the third essential element of a great kick. Get out your Century Body Shields and have students partner up with a different person this time. Have them take turns doing their kicks in slow motion. Tell your students that anyone can kick fast, but you are going to teach them how to kick better!
Kicking slowly allows your students to have great form because they can get immediate feedback from their partner and the instructor. Ask one of the students to volunteer to hold the Century Body Shield while you demonstrate a nice, slow, intentional roundhouse kick to the body. Explain to them that you already stretched and practiced good balance, so now it's time to work on good form.
You have just told everyone in class the three elements of a great kick. They all know the answer to the question that you are going to ask. At this point you are bursting at the seams; you are so excited that everyone will know the answer to your question today!
Give them some time to give each other feedback while practicing slow kicks to the body. Move from group to group and give constructive advice about progress. Get out your Century Square Hand Targets and distribute one to each student. Have the students take turns kicking the hand targets starting with kicks to the body and gradually raising the target to head level. Let them practice for a few minutes and then tell them that their kicks are improving. Put the pads away and have everyone spread out, then call out 10 kicks on each leg. Tell your students that their hard work is paying off.
STEP 3. Ask the question.
"Who can tell me one of the three most important elements are to practicing a roundhouse kick to the head?" you ask, and watch the hands go up!
You will see that even the most timid student knows at least one of the three elements you are looking for – how exciting! Students know the answers. Parents are excited that their kids are participating. You have taught an amazing class. Everybody wins here!
RECAP: If you want great class participation, you have to give out the information that you expect to get back. Students might already know the answers, but it is your job to make sure that they know that they know, by teaching and showing instead of just telling and counting on memory. Give them the physical workout associated with each verbal answer and you will be sure to grab the attention of auditory, visual and kinesthetic learners. Go teach a great class and watch your students succeed!

IPL: In this African bowler Mumbai team instead of injury injured Aljari Joseph
bySURENDRA KUMAR BUSAM - April 23, 2019 0
IPL :- Left-arm fast bowler Burren Hendrix was included in the Mumbai Indians squad for the rest of the IPL, instead of injury to South Africa's injured Alejandro Joseph. Aljari was given a place in the team as an alternative to Adam Milne, who made an IPL record in his debut match.
Hendrix has also come as an option, which has played for Kings XI Punjab before. He played two ODIs and ten T20 matches for South Africa. Mumbai has to play with Chennai Super Kings on April 26.
Aljari had a right hand injury during his stopping the boundary in the match against Rajasthan Royals on 13 April. For the West Indies, Alzhi has played nine Tests and 16 ODIs so far.
This Caribbean bowler made history in his very first match and took 6 wickets with 12 runs. In the next match, he scored 22 runs in two overs against Kings XI Punjab without any wicket.

With the Sun now newly settled in your house of relationships you will be wanting to spend as much time with your loved one as possible. You are more inclined to see both sides of a story and take your partners feelings into consideration. This is a week where your cooperation pays off and when the Moon passes across the face of a very passionate part of your zodiac on Monday, there could be a deep need for emotional sharing and affection.
Your thoughts and energies rest mostly in your love sector this week with Mercury, Venus and Mars all in this part of your zodiac, making this a very expressive week when it comes to romantic adventure. A love affair begun under these influences is assured to be filled with emotionally tinged circumstances and high energy. Especially as the Moon passes across your partnership zone on Monday, highlighting the opportunity for one on one relationships to blossom.
The Sun has moved out of hibernation recently to enter your love sector and cast a warm glow across the part of your horoscope that deals with romance and fun. Pleasure and entertainment are most important to you this month as you seek to come out of your shell and show your expressive side to the world. As the Moon moves through the houses she illuminates your partnership zone on Monday and expands the structural energy of Saturn at the same time, getting you to consider the merits of a committed relationship. If there are new love interests in your sights, this sure is the best time to find them.
Your romantic sector is highlighted by the light of the silvery Moon as she passes by on Monday and awakens your need for fun and creativity within the realms of your love department. There is the opportunity for deep communication and emotional sharing by Thursday when this light passes over your relationship zone and ignites the energy of penetrating Pluto into action. Pluto also connects very favourably with Mars in your communication zone allowing you and a partner to open up on a deep and passionate level that could clear away a lot of misconception and bring about a transformation in this relationship. Keep things tidy though, dual cooperation is needed.
It's not only the light from the Moon that invigorates your romance zone on Wednesday but also the fact that disciplined Saturn is activated and joins forces with Mercury in your values zone, bringing romance and personal values into some serious light. Perhaps there is opportunity for you to stand tall this week and realise that you don't need the approval of a lover to feel good about yourself, because your own solid values are in place to do that for you. Even so, when the Moon travels through your partnership sector on Sunday, setting this part of your zodiac alight with passion, new developments are on the cards for you Leo.
Your values and self appreciation qualities are strong this week with the Sun having recently moved into this part of your zodiac to reinforce your confidence and give you a good idea of what you wish to attract into your life. At the same time the Moon is also passing through your romance zone on Thursday and Friday and kick starting determined Pluto into action within this sector. If you should have your sights on a love interest now the chances are that you will not let go until you have got what you want. Karmic connection and fated attractions are all likely under the penetrating influence of Pluto and Mars when they connect your romance and personal image sectors together on Sunday with a potent magnetic force.
The Sun is high in the sky and casting golden light into your personal sector to awaken and invigorate your self confidence this week, at the same time as the Moon expands your romantic front. Although the week starts off on a mundane note with regards to romance, tension is gradually building, and by Sunday everything comes to a head when Jupiter in your personal sector goes into opposition with revolutionary Uranus in your partnership zone to challenge your love of freedom. If there have been too many restrictions placed on your romantic relationship lately, this paring could evoke a battle of wills.
Dreamy Neptune, who is still in your romance zone, gets a rush of adventurous energy from Mars at the beginning of the week, which temporarily dissolves any romantic illusions that Neptune has left you with. You have the courage this week to take a chance on love that you might ordinarily shy away from. These is no need for anxiety because the Moon is in the wing helping you to feel secure, and as she passes over Saturn in your house of values on Wednesday you are reminded that self reliance and sterling values will lead you through any crisis of the heart.
Jupiter, the ruler of your sign, and Uranus the freedom loving planet, meet across the heavens and connect your romance and friendship sectors in a frenzy of enthusiastic abandon to prove that you sure do know how to let your hair down with your pals. There is also rumbling from within your value zone, and when the Moon ignites Pluto in this sector on Friday, you may suddenly set your sights on someone within your social circle who has caught your romantic fancy. I hope they have their running shoes on because Pluto is rather determined to get what he wants.
This is rather a quiet week when it comes to romance but even so there is opportunity to connect with someone from within your work sector. Venus is in this part of your zodiac at the moment, setting you up as the charming organiser who is capable of graciously moving between work teams to encourage harmonious social interaction. These are qualities that naturally bring out your softer side at work and if there has been a shy suitor patiently waiting in the wing, this might be the perfect time for him or her to make their move.
Although none of your major love houses are illuminated by the passing Moon this week, there is a lot going on in your love sector. You are reflecting on lessons learned and practicing how to master them. There is a play off on Wednesday between your values and your passions, when Jupiter in a deeply emotional part of your zodiac links up with thought provoking Uranus in your value zone. This gives you a download of new ideas to work with when it comes to learning about love. Maybe self love is also some part of this lesson?
With Venus, Mars and Mercury, all in your relationship zone, you probably have been trying your best to keep your love relationship running smoothly. If you have been blurring the boundaries between self and others, then Mars' opposition to dreamy Neptune in your personal sector will bring you back to your senses for a day or two until you take back your power. With the Sun recently settled in your passionate zone, you have the penetrating presence of mind to do this in a transformational way.


Fishermen's ingenuity. You can't keep a steady lamp in a windy shore.
Read PART 3 of the story here.
In full summer gear, we're all mighty ready to ride around the island. The entire landmass of Siquijor can be rounded, using the circumferential road, for about an hour and a half via single motorcycle or easy rides that can be hired around. There's a flat rate for the island tour that the Department of Tourism has set, so there's no worry about tourists being taken advantaged of in terms of tour tariff.
Our sightseeing went searingly fine, summers are usually extra hot but we've prepared for it. We did our round to have a good time and not our urban usual – to get on time. You'll be surprised to know that for a province with fifth, fourth, third class municipalities categorized under it; people can afford to build splendid big houses and rest houses by the sea. Well, I was told, they're built partly by foreign counterparts, like locals having alien husbands or locals working as OFW and sending money home to build it.
The following day, I woke up from my afternoon nap feeling hungry and thirsty. I went out to the resort restaurant and scanned the menu. I ordered rice and 'kinilaw', it's a local raw fish delicacy drench in vinegar, spices and seasonings. I always have a plate or two of this raw dish back in Davao but the Siquijor version has a little twist in it. They used grated Sineguelas (Spanish Plum) bark to zest in the mix. So the flavor came out to have a little hint of 'aplud' taste (ascerbic) that purged out the 'lansa' of the fish.
Forgive my moderated indulgence; God, I finished two cups of rice and a helping of Rocky Road for dessert. Feeling heavy, I decided to take a little walk far out of the resort. This island has zero crime rate recorded, so it's safe to roam around even when you're alone. Only that sometimes you meet along peculiar and wonderful people that will purport your weird and wild imagination that they might be casting spells and black magic to vulnerable and lonesome strollers like me, in which as we all know, this island has been so culturally prominent to allegedly doing so.
Few minutes later, playing along with my foot the white sugar-like sand in the shoreline, I saw a thin man sitting in a banqueto. His arms and face skin were wrinkled and has a color burnt by the unforgiving sun of constant call to the sea. He was wearing a green tattered camisa de chino and was seated along a generous heap of lucid fishing nets. In his hands were a slim slab of customized bamboo needle and a spool of nylon thread the size of the ones used in the fishing nets. He was silently and intently plaiting the torn parts of the fishing nets.
I greeted. He smiled. A genuine and toothy smile that reached his eyes. He asked me where I am headed.
"You're new here, a tourist." he said it in a tone he was so sure I was. Locals here practically knew each other, so unfamiliar faces like mine can easily be judged as visiting someone.
"Not a tourist really, I was born here 42 years ago and I'm paying homage to my birthplace. I'm staying at the resort." I answered casually pointing at where I came from. He eased and smiled again. We began talking like we've known each for so long, him asking who my forebears were and me asking what life would be like now having all these luxury resorts around.
"Do you own that fishing boat?" I asked pointing to the berthed boat not far from us.
"Yes, I do and I'm not sure where to dock that the moment construction of the new resort will start riling here." He said sadly and as a matter-of-factly.
"You mean, this place where you're staying is not yours?" I asked puzzled?
I went silent for a long while; I went sticking in the sand looking blankly out to the sea. This was exactly what my godmother was talking about. For now, I can only sympathize with profound contriteness having played a little role in breeding this leisure industry and on the side write this story.
I can only pray that his pain of deliberately losing his legacy will be compensated by God knows what provision that will ensure his family's survival in the days to come. I'm just hoping his story reaches the self-seeking shores of those who grab and would be grabber of not just pristine coasts in favor of luxury but lives and livelihood that turned this fisherman and the others he represent, shoreless.
But judging how development moves so fast these days, I doubt if this could be ascertained. The pains of development can be felt all over us, it's inevitable, it's where our civilization is headed and they're here to stay. It's just a matter of time that these perilous orbs will come bursting and marring our world. Look around you the next time you go on a trip.
