All AMVIC-licensed businesses must provide customers with a completed mechanical fitness assessment form (AMVIC Assessment Form) before entering into a sales agreement/purchase contract for any used vehicle—it's the law. No business can sell a used vehicle to a buyer in "as is". AMVIC enforces the use of the mechanical fitness assessment form. It tells the buyer if a vehicle complies with all the items listed on the mechanical assessment form. It ensures that any potential buyers know the condition of the vehicle before it is purchased.
Mechanical Assessment Form is an assessment and not a pass/fail inspection. If the vehicle does not comply with the items listed on the form, the business can still sell the vehicle to the buyer, provided it is fully disclosed to the buyer with the details of the items that are missing or does not comply.
Private sellers and auctions are not required to provide a Mechanical Fitness Assessment at the time of selling a used vehicle.
A mechanical fitness assessment is valid for 120 days after the date it was issued. Once it has expired a new assessment must be completed prior to entering into a sales contract.
Auto Imports is a fully licensed Alberta auto inspection facility for doing an AMVIC Inspection.

As much as I hate spiders, this is as close to them I'll get with this card featuring the Spiders Are Seen Cling Mounted Rubber Stamps from Red Rubber Designs. Perfect for Halloween, which I love! Lol!
All of the background papers were colored with Distress Inks, and all of the stamping embossed with some glitter. For more sparkle, I applied Purple Stickles onto the black, square brads that I used in the corners. Don't you just love this sentiment?
The lace was colored with some sprays and Distress Inks in black and purple. Then I used a strip of purple ribbon to divide the spider background, which I stamped twice to make it look longer than the original square stamp. The vase of spiders (Eeew!!) was colored with a purple spray, and has some sparkle with a Wink Of Stella on the swirly parts of the vase. Then I hand-stitched a circle around it, and popped it up with Pop Dots.
The vase of spiders is also available with the Be Scary Cling Mounted Rubber Stamps, along with a couple of other great Halloween images. There's also a fabulous selection of Autumn and Halloween Stamps from Red Rubber Designs!

Graphic Design students win a Yellow Pencil for D&AD New Blood Google brief
BA (Hons) Graphic Design students Nikita Iziev and Imran Khan haved won a prestigious Yellow Pencil at the D&AD New Blood Awards for a brief set by Google and HMCT.
The D&AD New Blood Awards celebrate students, graduates and aspiring creatives in advertising, design and marketing. Real briefs are set by real clients, with students judged by a panel of notable industry experts.
The student's collaboration entitled 'Ban Drill, Ban Dreaming' was based on a brief which asked students to find a genre, song or musical movement that best represents a cause and use typography to bring it to life.
The typography-first campaign had to feature both physical and digital elements. It aimed to inspire the audience to discover more about the issues raised and spark a call to action.
The Ravensbourne students based their brief around raising awareness of the music genre UK drill and what it represents. UK drill is a subagent of drill music and road rap that originated in South London. A recent ban caused controversy, with many claiming it violated the right to free speech.
In June 2019, the London Metropolitan Police removed 130 Drill songs from YouTube, served artists with Criminal Behaviour Orders and inhibited them from creating more music without police permission.
The campaign includes multiple visual components including an informative campaign website and engagement with social media through the use of augmented reality (AR) filters.
It uses a flexible typographic system that has been designed to make the campaign easier to deploy. Profits made from bespoke scarves and albums will go towards the charity United Borders.
The D&AD judges said: "Confronting, minimalist and high contrast. It grabs your attention immediately! Its visual rhetoric evokes a sense of urgency that is complemented by a considered narrative. It finds power in its consistency and memorability across touch points".

Hospital medicine in Richmond, Virginia during the Civil War: a study of Hospital No. 21, Howard's Grove and Winder hospitals
dc.contributor.author Ballou, Charles F. en
dc.description.abstract Neither the Union nor the Confederacy was prepared to care for the massive numbers of sick and wounded which occurred at the onset of the Civil War. While their surgeons benefited from the knowledge gained during the Crimean War regarding the cleanliness of military hospitals, the isolation of infection, and the use of the new general anesthetics, no facilities for their use existed in America.
The Confederate Chief Surgeon, Samuel Preston Moore, had no entrenched medical bureaucracy to battle. By early 1862 he had formed a well-organized medical department and had many hospitals operational.
His surgeons shared the problems of their northern colleagues: ignorance of the cause of infection, inadequate training, and untrained hospital personnel to care for the sick and wounded. What the South did not share with the North was alack of resources which was intensified by a naval blockade.
This narrative thesis uses records from three Richmond hospitals of 1862-1865 to reveal the problems faced by all hospital personnel, and to address the question of responsibility for the high rates of hospital morbidity and mortality which occurred. It is technically oriented to give both physicians and laymen insight into the day to day triumphs and tragedies of these men and women who worked under nearly impossible conditions. en

Geographically bounded concentration of similar related or complementary business with active channels for business transactions.
In London an industrial estate contains 28 businesses. Of varied size, they cover a wide range of sectors, although the estate was formerly a light engineering manufacturing heartland.
According to Harvard Professor Michael Porter, who popularized clustering as a result of his research and many publications, clusters are: "geographical concentrations of interconnected companies, specialized suppliers, service providers, firms in related industries, and associated institutions (for example universities, standards agencies, and trade associations) in particular fields that compete but also cooperate" . (Porter 1998).
When using the term cluster, the United Nations International Development Organization (UNIDO) understands sectoral and geographical concentrations of enterprises that produce and sell a range of related or complementary products and, face common challenges and opportunities. These concentrations give rise to external economies such as the emergence of specialized suppliers of raw materials and components or growth of a pool of sector-specific skills and can foster development of specialized services in technical, managerial and financial matters (UNIDO 2000).
OECD (2005) Programme for Local Economic and Employment Development (LEED) provides another definition of cluster, defining them as an agglomeration of vertically and/or horizontally linked enterprises operating in the same business field in conjunction with supporting institutions.
Some authors are describing clusters and their characteristics, using the term Hot Spots, or industrial districts, etc, but in spite of the differences in defining inter cluster relations, the extent of innovation, or size of geographical coverage, there are certain common elements which are giving enough reasons for investigating clusters as a separate phenomenon.
Main common denominator in all definitions is that clusters are inter-related firms and other institutions that work together towards achieving same goal and drive the competitiveness of a given industry. Clusters consist of private enterprises of various sizes including producers, suppliers, plus government, professional associations, and academic, research or training institutes.
In businessmen's language "clustering" is a strategy for extending capabilities, resources and responses to would not be achieved by a single firm. Though businesses may not necessarily use the term clustering, many firms are conscious of the fact that working with other businesses on joint projects can lead to mutual gain.


The Alden Dover in brown chromexcel is an excellent choice for an easy dress shoe. Because they're unlined, they are extremely cool and comfortable. These shoes feel like slippers from the moment you first slip them on. And unlike rubber sole shoes, the leather Flex soles give them the added versatility of being slightly dressier.


We pride ourselves in letting our couples determine that from the images they see on our website.
I like to tell the story of the day through natural photographs, capturing you and your guests enjoying the day and capturing those special moments.
Will you be the Photographer attending the Wedding? Do you have an assistant?
I will be the photographer attending and yes, I also have an assistant for lighting control and equipment assistance. Also for miscellaneous things such as fluffing the dress, holding lights, family formals etc.
How will you show me my images after the Wedding? Will I see proofs or an online gallery?
Around 14-28 days after the wedding I will have processed and colour corrected all the images. I will then upload the pictures to an online gallery. This will be under the CLIENT ROOM on the website.
There will be a unique password for you to access your photo gallery which will contain your high resolution files for printing and your low resolution files for social media sharing.
The image gallery will contain your story of the day from getting ready to the end of the reception. You can share your gallery with family and friends and it will be available to view for 1 year after your wedding.
Do you do any colour correcting / editing to the images before we receive them?
I will always strive to get the best images I can in camera but all images can be enhanced with some careful editing.
The first stage of editing is to colour correct each image which involves retouching of exposure, contrast, temperature, colour, cropping and sharpening.
The second level of editing is more advanced and is reserved for prints and the album. Here, we complete some minor retouching of stray hairs, smoothing the skin, removing blemishes and also removing distracting backgrounds or objects which detract from the overall image.
How will you make it easy for me & my guests to order prints & products?
Your guests can look through your on-line gallery and either obtain the Hi-Res image from your digital picture pack or contact me directly with our IMAGE ORDER FORM if they would like a product such as a framed print or canvas etc.
There are options for all types of PRODUCTS from standard prints to huge wall art canvas and photo books etc. I also deal with a high quality print lab for fine art prints and a local bespoke framer.
My album supplier is the renowned Italian album company Graphi-Studio.
Yes, I do offer a pre wedding shoot or engagement shoot.
This is an ideal time for us to get to know one another and for me to demonstrate poses and lighting that will look amazing on your Wedding day. If not included then this can be booked in addition to your package.
Some couples use the photos in a number of ways including save the date cards, signing frame, wedding website and prints at the wedding etc.
Do you have a back up Photographer if you cannot make it?
I will be there!!! But yes, in the unfortunate and rare event of non attendance I do have a network of photographers that I can call upon...But then again if I can call someone that means I am alive so I will be there!!
Will we be dealing with you after the Wedding?
Yes, I complete the entire process from booking to final album handover.
I am a bit of a perfectionist and need to fully complete the process.
Do you have a contract and what is your payment policy?
I do have a contract. Like any legitimate business I have a contract in place as much for you as the customer as it is for me as the service provider.
Full details can be issued upon request and will be included in your booking pack.
A £200 deposit is required to secure your date and we tend to collect the remaining balance around 28 days before the wedding date.
We do like to meet our couples and get to know you a little.
We like to discuss your aspirations for your wedding day. We tend to discuss the timeline of your day, any formal specific photography you require, basically everything through to the names of the main bridal party and colour of your bouquet!
I will show you some of the equipment I use as well as sample albums etc.
We know we want to book you. Do we still need a meeting?
Firstly, Thank You!! We never take that for granted the fact that a couple wants to book us without a face to face meeting. We can communicate solely through email and make everything official online.
We'd be thrilled and honoured to be your chosen Wedding Photographer and can actually start discussing your big day or making arrangements for your E-Session (should you have one) after we take care of the contract and deposit.
I shoot with three professional Canon SLR cameras. A Canon 5D MKIII (full frame 22 megapixel) with a 50mm Portrait Art lens. A Canon 6D full frame with 70-200mm lens ideal for portrait shots and unobtrusive guest shots and also a Canon 7D as backup. I also carry a Fuji X-Pro 1 camera which is great for documentary style shots.
I have a selection of wide angle and zoom professional lenses as well as professional lighting equipment including an LED Rotolight which is a video light that produces a lovely soft light.
It is a total of almost £20,000 worth of equipment. I also shoot in RAW and process your images with Adobe Lightroom, Portrait software and Photoshop.
All images are then converted to the standard JPEG format for your digital pack.
How many images will we get to see?
Approx 800 images will be captured during your day. From these around 400-500 will be carefully edited and digitally processed with my unique style.
Its not about the quantity of images, its about the quality!!!
400 amazing wedding photos telling a story are better than 1000 average shots that do not mean anything.
Actually we both do...But we like to think they are your images!
I will transfer joint copyright to the couple upon completion of the edit process.
This does not permit commercial use of the images to the venue or any other third party. However I reserve the right to use any image for marketing purposes.
Yes, I am fully insured for public liability up to £3 million on all location shoots and also public indemnity.
Some venues also demand it but we are a registered Ltd Company and we take responsibility for making sure that we are fully covered to attend and shoot your wedding at any location including abroad.
Get in touch to make sure your date is available and we can go from there.
If we book you it could be months until our Wedding Day. What is the process from there?
Most couples tend to book me well over a year in advance. I appreciate that after paying a deposit it could be quite scary to think that the next time we meet will be in a year or 18 months etc.
The progress bar is like a checklist of the stages of the Wedding Photography package and every 3 months this is sent to you so you can see the stage we are at.
Hopefully this will give you some comfort in the knowledge that I am still here and still planning your wedding day shoot.
Obviously, I am always on the end of the phone and also encourage my clients to call with any exciting image ideas or just a chat / advice regarding your big day.
We appreciate that we may not be the right fit for every couple, there are lots of Photographers out there and some are considerably cheaper!!
Competition is healthy and everyone has a different budget for their Wedding Photography - There are some Wedding Photographers out there charging under £1000 and if you like their style and they seem reliable and everything stacks up then go for it.
*Do they have public liability or public indemnity insurance?
If one of your guests was to trip over their camera bag and break a leg then they are entitled to sue you as its your Wedding! If the photographer has a malfunction with their equipment or memory cards and all your images disappear you cannot make a claim!
*Does the Photographer have back up equipment should they have malfunctions?
*What if it rains! Will they have professional lighting in dark situations and more importantly know how to use it?
*Will they process your images correctly?
*Are they skilful at Photoshop and have ££££s pounds worth of software for retouching etc?
*Are they likely to have visited your venue to establish the best locations for shots?
*Are they proficient at shooting winter weddings with poor natural lighting?
*Will they have an assistant to help organise guests and assist with lighting and equipment?
*Do they have access to quality album suppliers and pro printing labs?
*Will they turn up? What can you do about it if they don't?
*Are they are a registered business registered with HMRC for tax and NI?
*Do they have contracts in place to protect you?
I attend wedding courses to stay up to date with the most recent techniques and trends. I have an assistant to assist with guests and lighting, I will visit your venue to scope out the best picture locations and have a plan B incase of bad weather.
I shoot in RAW format and I will spend 2-3 days after the wedding professionally processing and editing images on the latest Mac. I will photoshop pictures and complete retouching and colour correcting. I will meet with you after the wedding to show your pictures and complete a full album design and DVD slideshow.
I will upload your images to your own passworded gallery and have a facility for guests to order.
This is not written to justify my prices, I do not need to justify my skill, my investment or my time.
Thankfully most brides will appreciate that wedding photography is an art and one of the most important aspects of your day and I tend to shoot for those type of clients.

Hungary. Prior to the parliamentary elections in April, the right-wing opposition had a strong takeover in public opinion. The Socialist government, led by the partyless Gordon Bajnai, had implemented unpopular austerity measures with reduced wages and pensions and with increased taxes. The finances had been redressed, but at the same time the people's anger had been stirred.

In addition, support for the right-wing and Nazi-inspired party Jobbik, which blamed the economic crisis and corruption on so-called enemies of the people: Roma, Jews, homosexuals and communists. Jobbik's paramilitary branch of the Hungarian Guard had been banned but resurrected as the New Hungarian Guard, which advanced violently in Roman villages. Jobbik also wanted to create a Great Hungarian with parts of neighboring countries such as Slovakia and Romania. About 3.5 million Hungarians live in neighboring countries.
After two rounds of elections, the center-right party Fidesz (Hungarian Citizens Union) had won a grand victory with 52.7 percent of the vote and over two-thirds majority in parliament, 262 of 386 seats. It allowed the party to change the constitution and elect the president without seeking support. After eight years in government, the Socialist Party MSzP suffered a stinging defeat. MSzP more than halved to 19.3 percent of the electorate and 59 seats. The third largest party was Jobbik, who for the first time entered Parliament with 16.7 percent of the vote and 47 seats. Another newly formed party, the Green and Left Liberal LMP (Politics may be different), received 16 seats.
Fidesz leader Viktor Orbán, 46, took office as prime minister in May. He had promised to cut taxes and create a million new jobs in ten years. But nationalism was also on the program. Fidesz wanted to give ethnic Hungarians in the neighboring countries the opportunity for dual citizenship. It provoked upset reactions in Slovakia. When the Hungarian Parliament voted in favor of the dual citizenship law in May, the people elected in Slovakia replied the same day with a law that deprived Hungarian citizens of their Slovak citizenship.
According to COUNTRYAAH, Hungary has a population of 9.773 million (2019). Fidesz politician Pál Schmitt, 68, was elected in June by Parliament as Hungary's new president. He was installed in the office in August.
In July, the new government decided to suspend its talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on support loans, as the IMF's terms on reduced budget spending were not accepted. The financial market reacted negatively to the government's message, and the value of the currency forint fell. The government decided not to negotiate any new agreement with the IMF when the old one expired in October.
A major environmental disaster occurred in the autumn in western Hungary, when a dam burst and about 700,000 cubic meters of corrosive sludge from an aluminum plant rolled like a two-meter high wave through several villages. At least ten people were killed and many suffered chemical burns. Nature was poisoned by mercury, chromium and arsenic in the sludge, and life in the Marcal River was extinguished. The poison also reached the Danube. The remediation work was expected to take one year.
At the end of the year, Viktor Orbán's government had problems with the economy. The promises of tax cuts and other economic policies had lowered confidence in the market, which feared that the budget deficit would grow over time. Therefore, Hungary's credit rating was lowered, which caused the currency to decline in value. It was speculated that the government must return to the IMF to negotiate new loans.

When Hungary took over the EU presidency at New Year 2010/11, the country's government received harsh criticism in the Union for a contentious constitutional change, which Parliament voted in December. A government agency was given the task of controlling the content of the media and imposing fines for publication that was considered offensive or "politically unbalanced". According to softwareleverage, Hungary was accused of stifling freedom of expression, and the country's suitability as EU President was questioned.

The energy-efficient, narrow-band emission of LED sources makes the lighting technology valuable in life science applications. KEN MARRIN examines how solid-state lighting is being deployed in poultry-rearing applications to both reduce electrical expenses and boost production.
The demand for food worldwide is expected to double by 2030. To meet that demand, producers are adopting new technologies that will enable them to increase production at a reduced cost with less stress on the environment. Most of these production technologies focus on enhancing traditional inputs such as water, air, nutrients, and housing. One largely unexplored production input is light.
By utilizing LED lighting and taking advantage of the unique spectral requirements of poultry, swine, dairy cattle, fish, or crustaceans, farmers can reduce stress and mortality, regulate circadian rhythm, and substantially increase the production of eggs, meat, and other protein sources, while dramatically reducing energy use and other input costs.
As noted in a June 2013 LEDs Magazine article, niche applications enabled by solid-state lighting (SSL) include lighting specific to agriculture, and such applications could yield significant revenue potential. Major players in the SSL industry, such as Philips and Osram Sylvania, have developed spectrally-tuned LED lamps for farming and horticulture, in addition to smaller businesses such as Once Innovations, Luma Vue, and NextGen Illumination manufacturing LED lamps exclusively for the poultry market.
Many livestock farmers still utilize general-purpose residential and commercial 60W, 80W, and 100W incandescent lamps in their barns. These lamps are well suited to human environments, but incandescent light is not the same as sunlight, and the best light for humans is not necessarily the best light for animals. Animals have evolved living under the sunlight, whose spectrum differs substantially from that of incandescent light. Sunlight is a combination of all colors. Fig. 1a shows the amount of each color present in typical sunlight at noon. Note that the blues and greens are brighter than the reds at this time of the day. Fig. 1b shows the amount of color present in typical sunlight at the end of the day. Note that the reds are now brighter than the greens and the blues.
FIG. 1. Daylight spectrum (a) versus sunset spectrum (b).
Modern barn lighting systems attempt to mimic the sun's spectrum, which provides a continuous spectrum containing all colors with no gaps in between. Incandescent light (Fig. 2a) effectively simulates sunlight at sunset, producing a continuous spectrum rich in reds with diminished greens and very little blue. However, this spectrum does not simulate midday sunlight, which is rich in blues and greens with diminished red. Some manufacturers try to put coatings on the bulbs to alter the spectrum, but this approach does not produce a continuous spectrum. Incandescent bulbs are also highly inefficient (producing more heat than light), burn out often, and require a fixture that is wet-location rated. All that will soon be moot, of course, as new production of incandescent lights is banned.
FIG. 2. Incandescent spectrum (a) versus CFL spectrum (b).
Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) have good efficiency and produce white light, but again, CFL light output is tailored to human vision. The white light is achieved by producing and combining narrow bands of red, green, and blue. As a result, there are large gaps in the spectrum between the red, blue, and green spikes, and many of the red, blue, and green wavelengths present in sunlight are lost (Fig. 2b). Blue light is exceptionally weak, and most of the deeper reds are lost. Overall, CFLs do a terrible job of mimicking natural sunlight. They are also hard to clean (because of their curly shape), contain small amounts of toxic mercury, require an enclosure to be wet rated, and do not dim well — plus their lifetime is shortened significantly when dimmed.
High-pressure sodium (HPS) bulbs offer excellent efficiency and high light output, with a color spectrum that is strongest in the reds and yellows, thus giving the bulbs their distinctive orange-yellow or amber hue. As with CFLs, however, much of the color spectrum is missing, especially the greens and blues. HPS lamps are also very difficult to dim, are slow to warm up, require a ballast for operation, have high upfront costs, and may contain sodium and/or mercury.
FIG. 3. Standard white LED spectrum.
LEDs are the most efficient and environmentally friendly of the agricultural lighting options, producing white light by combining a blue LED with red and green phosphors. The spectrum is near continuous (Fig. 3) with especially strong blues, but also ample green and red. While not exactly daylight, the LED spectrum provides a close approximation of daylight from a human's point of view, without the spectral gaps of other technologies. They also have the longest lifetime (up to 10 years with 24/7 operation), are highly rugged, are not susceptible to shock or vibration, and allow for color shifting and color control. LEDs have high upfront costs, but these costs are quickly recouped through energy savings, resulting in the lowest total cost of ownership for agricultural lighting options.
At the 2014 Strategies in Light event, Once Innovations president Brian Wilcox gave a presentation on "How to make chicks happy," exploring compelling science which supports the claims that LED lighting's economic benefits stretch beyond reduced energy costs to truly produce positive results — and therefore enhanced revenue — in poultry management and production. Here we will visit the poultry application in more depth.
While the ability to efficiently and accurately replicate sunlight gives LEDs an advantage over other agricultural lighting options, it is their ability to deliver a customizable, tunable spectrum that may be their greatest strength. The spectral sensitivity of animals differs from that of humans, and so too do their spectral requirements. By optimizing the use of spectrum, irradiance, and modulation in their barns, farmers can create a lighting environment for their animals that increases health and wellbeing, thereby enhancing growth while minimizing expenditures of energy and feed.
One of the most promising applications for agricultural LEDs is the lighting of poultry barns, primarily due to the profound differences in the way that humans and fowl absorb, detect, and react to photons. By exploiting these differences, LED-based technologies can lower luminaire cost, increase musculoskeletal development and weight gain, induce earlier maturity in layer chickens destined to produce eggs, improve feed conversion, alter melatonin production, increase egg ouput and quality, regulate reproductive cycles, and increase length of reproductive life.
Humans are tri-chromants with sensitivity to red, green, and blue spectral energy. Humans have peak sensitivity at 550 nm (green), trailing off significantly into the red and blue spectrum. Relying entirely on retinal reception, humans absorb photons through the photo-pigments rhodopsin (rods), iodopsin (cones), and melanopsin.
Fowl also absorb photons retinally through rods, cones, and melanopsin. However, they also absorb photons through functional photoreceptors located in the pineal gland on top of the brain (pineal reception). What is even more amazing, they even absorb photons through deep encephalic photoreceptors (hypothalamic reception).
Domestic fowl are quad-chromants. Like humans, fowl developed a peak sensitivity to green at 550 nm. But they also have enhanced sensitivity to reds, blues, and ultraviolet (UV) light. This is thought to be due to their origins. The tropical jungles of South Asia have a filtering effect on the light due to the green leaves in the tree canopies. Thus, fowl developed enhanced sensitivity to blue and red with peaks at 450 nm (12x human sensitivity) and 640 nm (4x human sensitivity). But probably the most dramatic difference between humans and fowl is the ability of fowl to perceive UV light retinally (peak at 385 nm). The reasons why domestic fowl can see UV light are largely under investigation. Two main suspects are food and flock recognition capabilities.
Each color has a distinct effect on fowl physiology. Green light, for example, significantly increases growth rate at an early age by enhancing proliferation of skeletal muscle satellite cells. Blue light increases growth at a later age by elevating plasma androgens. Narrow-band blue light reduces locomotion. It also reduces cannibalism rate at late age (especially in broiler chickens raised for human consumption). Together, green and blue light promote myofiber growth due to more effective stimulation of testosterone secretion. Overall, blue light has been shown to improve feed conversion by up to 4%, thereby reducing the cost per pound by up to 3% and increasing overall live weight by up to 5%.
Red light stimulates and promotes sexual activity and increases growth rates for chickens and turkeys at the beginning of the rearing period. It also increases locomotion, thereby minimizing leg disorders at the end of the rearing period. Red light also reduces the amount of feed consumption per egg laid with no differences in egg size, shell weight, shell thickness, or yolk and albumin weights. Overall, red light has been shown to lengthen the peak production period and increase egg production by up to 38 eggs per hen, while potentially decreasing food consumption by up to 20%.
On-farm lighting is a significant portion of overall energy consumption. Agriculture facilities have similar lighting systems, are concentrated in a relatively small geographic area, are easily converted, and respond well to rebates. According to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), a $1B (billion) annual energy savings opportunity exists in the agricultural sector in North America, primarily in the Midwest. That is the equivalent of two nuclear power plants. According to Kate Farley of the ACEEE, 7% of on-farm expenses are energy related. Switching from incandescent bulbs to LED lighting could deliver an energy savings of $2000 per barn — a savings that can be sweetened with rebates, grants, and other funding, and go a long way toward making each barn profitable for farmers.
Consider the energy savings in the layer market alone. Nationwide, there are more than 2500 egg layer facilities, with six of the top ten egg producers located in the Midwest. On average, each layer operation utilizes 800 incandescent lights per facility. Replacing these lights with LEDs would yield a savings of 800 lights × (9W – 3W)/light × 16 hours/day × 365 days per year, or 28,032 kWh per operation. With 42% of the layer operations in Iowa, Ohio, and Indiana, that accounts for a 70M (million) kWh savings in these three states alone.
The savings are even more pronounced for the broiler market, which uses four times more energy than the layer market. The majority of these are across the Southeast and South Central states with many still using outdated lighting technology. Incandescent light energy consumption for broiler farms averages 271,814 kWh per farm per year, based on 4 barns/farm × 132 lights/barn × 100W/light × 18 hours/day × 52 days/flock × 5.5 flocks/year.
The energy savings are equally impressive for pork producing operations. Eight of the top ten swine states are located in the Midwest, with total light sockets (mostly CFL) of 1.8M. If all swine lights in the Midwest were replaced with LEDs, 52.2M kWh (CFL) – 25.2M kWh (SSL) = 27M kWh × 20 hours/day × 365 days = 540M kWh could be saved.
Despite the higher efficiency, effectiveness, and lower total cost of ownership of LED-based agricultural lighting products, high upfront costs have been a stumbling block. This is partly due to a lack of performance standards for the agricultural lighting industry, the absence of which makes it difficult for consumers of LED-based agricultural lighting products to take advantage of the energy savings rebates like those utilities offer for the incandescent and CFL lighting products used in consumer and commercial applications.
Current lighting standards focus on lighting performance and requirements as they apply to humans in residential and commercial applications. Energy-efficient consumer lighting products carry the Energy Star label, commercial products the DesignLights Consortium (DLC) label. Unfortunately, there is no comparable performance standard and label for agricultural lighting products. This makes it challenging for utilities to specify these products in their rebate programs, which in turn puts these products at a decided cost disadvantage. Farmers can still obtain a rebate by utilizing general-purpose consumer and commercial lighting products and retrofitting them for their barns (including having to enclose them in rugged or wet-location-rated fixtures), but off-the-shelf lighting products designed specifically for animals and barn environments generally do not qualify.
What suppliers and consumers (e.g., farmers) of agricultural lighting products need is a program that rates lighting products specifically with regard to agricultural performance. Such a program, which could be incorporated as part of Energy Star or DLC or even exist independently, would give consumers and power companies the information they need to compare agricultural lighting products while leveling the playing field for rebates. Ideally, the standard would provide uniformity across multiple utilities and address key performance criteria such as durability, performance, reliability, and safety. Efforts at creating such a standard are already underway, with several utilities having already expressed an interest in joining.
Tailored spectra also have application to fish and crustaceans, where they can be used to control the pond environment. Once AquaShift lighting systems, for example, have been installed in commercial ponds in China and Belize, and university studies gauging the effect of LED lighting on crustacean productivity are ongoing. Global market potential for solid-state agricultural lighting is in excess of $17B. That will only increase as LED providers find new ways to harness light to enhance animal wellness and increase farm production while reducing energy utilization and costs.

A deeper insight into the molecular interactions in the highly intermixed structure of the wood cell wall, from the point of view of both basic and applied science, is necessary. In particular, the role of the different matrix materials within the cell wall needs to be better understood, especially concerning how lignin contributes to the mechanical properties. In the present paper, the mechanical properties of spruce wood have been studied on a molecular scale by means of dynamic Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. To this purpose, native spruce wood was subjected to chemical changes by impregnation and a mild pre-cooking with white liquor with a composition usual for kraft pulping. For comparison, lignin-rich primary cell wall material was also isolated by means of thermomechanical pulp (TMP) refining. Dynamic FTIR spectroscopy revealed that lignin took part in the stress transfer in all investigated samples. This finding is in contrast to literature data. A strong indirect coupling between lignin and cellulose was seen in the primary cell wall (P) material. In case of native wood, the lignin signal was much weaker and also indicated an indirect coupling to cellulose. In the case of pre-cooked wood samples (submitted to mild pulping), the interactions were modified so that the molecular straining of lignin was stronger and more directly related to that of cellulose. In other words, in these samples, lignin played a more active role in the stress transfer as compared to native wood. These findings were supported by a narrower lignin-softening region as measured by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The interpretation is plausible in terms of the superior stiffness seen for high-yield pulps of a similar yield as the studied pre-cooked wood samples.

Located in northern Montgomery County just east of Pottstown is this friendly and tranquil township. Consisting of rolling hills and valleys and plenty of open space, New Hanover Township is a relatively affordable town and part of award-winning Boyertown Area School District. Plus, New Hanover Township is one of the fastest growing townships in the state of Pennsylvania! Still, New Hanover remains a semi-rural place to live and is home to approximately 11,000 residents across 21.6 square miles.
Originally inhabited by the Lenni Lenape tribe, the area now known as New Hanover was settled by German immigrants in the late seventeenth century. The township became officially incorporated in 1741.
The villages of New Hanover Township include Fagleysville, Frederick, Hoffmansville, Layfield, New Hanover Square and Sassamansville. Most residents of New Hanover Township use the mailing address of Gilbertsville. The township is part of the Boyertown Area School District.
Outdoor lovers and recreational enthusiasts will love New Hanover! New Hanover operates multiple large parks and open spaces, including Hickory Park, Swamp Creek Park, and Layfield Park – among others! The Deep Creek Nature Center is another popular spot, with opportunities for pretty nature walks, bird watching, and butterfly sightings!
New Hanover also partly borders the popular Green Lane Park, with plenty of trails, picnicking areas, and boat rentals. The township is also home to the Gambone Athletic Complex and Gilbertsville Golf Course.
Homes for sale in New Hanover Township tend to be priced right around or a bit below the Montgomery County average, although there are a variety of homes for sale including plenty of new construction!
Most existing homes in New Hanover are affordably priced, however, with the majority of these single-family homes for sale between $150,000 and $300,000. Many of these homes are located on an acre or more, and popular home styles include ranch homes, Cape Cod homes, and split levels.
New construction is especially popular in Marlborough Township due to urban sprawl – in fact, the majority of homes for sale are brand new!

Ten Ways Wetlands Maintain the Planet's Integrity
Wetland, northern British Columbia (photo by Nina Munteanu)
Engineers, municipalities and governments around the world are just beginning to understand what hydrologists, limnologists and aquatic ecologists have known for a long time: that wetlands play a key role in maintaining the water cycle of our planet and that this role is directly related to disturbances related to climate change, flooding, pollution and toxicity.
Wetlands can significantly mitigate these perturbations and provide numerous other associated benefits, ten of which EarthShare, a site devoted to caring for the environment, has listed below:
Wildlife Nursery. Because of its unique location between water and land, salt and freshwater, wetlands shelter more than one-third of the country's threatened and endangered species, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Without wetlands, a huge number of songbirds, waterfowl, shellfish, mammals just wouldn't exist.
Flood Control. Wetlands function like a sponge, soaking up water that comes in with the tides, or from periodically flooding rivers. In fact, they control floods much more effectively and efficiently than any floodwall.
Pollution Filter. If trees are the lungs of the planet, then wetlands are its kidneys. On the Rouge River near Detroit, Michigan, a wetland demonstration project showed significant reductions in nitrates, phosphorus, and heavy metals. Clean and plentiful drinking water depends on healthy wetlands.
Storm Buffer. Scientists have estimated that every three miles of healthy wetlands could trim about one foot off a storm surge. For places like Louisiana, which have undergone tremendous erosion from oil and gas development and manmade levees, restoring and conserving wetlands is critical. In fact, wetlands provide $23.2 billion per year in storm protection services alone.
Wind Buffer. A study co-authored by EarthShare member The Nature Conservancy showed that mangrove forests, which grow in wetlands and coastal areas, can reduce wind and swell waves, significantly; almost 100%, in fact, with 500 meters of forest!
Fertile Farm Land. The staple diet of half the world's population is rice, which grows in wetlands in many parts of the world. Many commercially important fish species, reeds and papyrus are also harvested in wetlands.
Recreation and Tourism.Between bird watching, biking, hiking, and kayaking, wetlands provide people with many ways to enjoy nature. That's why EarthShare California member Save the Bay is deploying thousands of volunteers to rehabilitate the wetlands around San Francisco.
Carbon Sink. Because the soils found in wetlands can store carbon for hundreds of years, they play an important role in fighting climate change.
Jobs Hub. US coastal regions provide 40% of the country's employment: more than 69 million jobs in sectors like trade, hospitality, and commercial fishing. Restoring wetlands also provides many jobs. A study from the Center for American Progress found that for every $1 million invested in coastal restoration, 17.1 jobs were created.
Sea Level Rise Mitigation. By 2100, New York City could witness sea level rise of up to six feet. For those living within this rapidly expanding flood zone, wetlands will provide a critical buffer. That's why the city is supporting programs like MARSHES, a 68-acre "wetland mitigation bank" on Staten Island.
Wetlands in the United States
EarthShare recently reported that 50% of US wetlands had been destroyed by 2015 "to development, misguided engineering projects, agriculture, and fossil fuel development." They reported that wetland loss is as high as 90% in California.
Wetlands in Canada
"Estimates on wetland loss indicate that up to 70 per cent of wetlands have been lost or degraded in settled areas of Canada," writes Ducks Unlimited. They provide the example of Lake Winnipeg's organic pollution and algal problem resulting from insufficient buffer from wetlands. "These algae blooms [in Lake Winnipeg] are a symptom of increased nutrients delivered from upstream watersheds. In many cases, these watersheds have endured significant wetland drainage, allowing nutrients to flow into major lakes and rivers without the benefit of the natural filtration of wetland systems."

Lou's Custom Exhaust of Quincy is now offering vehicle undercoating by NH Oil Undercoating.
Most people will rarely see the underside of their car or truck, but that won't change its condition. It's important your vehicles chassis and undercarriage are well protected from the elements. The fact is, a new vehicle is subjected to thousands of spot welds and numerous bends and folds during production.
This process damages the pre-coated metal, allowing exposure to the corrosion process. Besides cosmetic damage,corrosion also weakens a vehicle's structural integrity and can affect steering and suspension components.The destructive force of auto corrosion is the single greatest threat to your vehicle. It can lead to rapid deterioration of metal, not only resulting in poor appearance, loss of value but real safety hazards.
Don't wait until you have a structural failure or fail a safety inspection. Deal with rust as you would any other maintenance item on the vehicle.

We give free work estimates, including brake inspections. If our technicians find your car needs attention we can usually fix it the same day.
Believe it or not your brake fluid is not suppose to look like molasses! Brake fluid, like brake hardware, isn't indestructible. Parts such as the rubber in the valves in the master cylinder, calipers and wheel cylinders deteriorate. All the little bits that flake off end up in your brake fluid. Plus the fluid itself can get old and worn out. Moisture also gets in the system, due to brake fluid's hydroscopic nature. This leads to poor braking performance and rust, which leads to more particles in your brake fluid. All this adds up to a brake system with compromised stopping power. Think of it this way, you wouldn't skip changing your car's engine oil, right? It's the blood of your engine, and when it gets contaminated by impurities, you put the entire engine at risk. It's the same with brake fluid. Let it get dirty and you won't be able to stop as well. It may not seem like a big deal when you're standing at the service desk and the mechanic asks if you want him to flush your brakes, but when you're careening down that mountain road, you'll understand why it's an important part of vehicle maintenance.
If you're a do it yourself type of person (which we know many people are now a days) to check your brake fluid is only a hood pop away! Color and consistency are the two major signs of deteriorating (read bad) fluid. There are also moisture level test strips. Visually fluid should be a light golden yellow color, the darker it gets the dirtier and contaminated it has become. Also meaning the viscosity is wearing out AKA you're losing the lifeline of your brakes! Typically if you start when your vehicle is new a good interval for a brake fluid flush is every 25k-35k miles. The longer you go without flushing the fluid the more corrosion build up meaning more problems can arise. In the big picture of the things spending money now could save you thousands in the future. Not only in damage to your vehicles braking system but without brakes your vehicle becomes a weapon, putting others at risk!
The only thing better than a car that goes is a car that stops. Routine inspections keep your vehicle stopping safer, longer. How often you have to change your brakes depends on a lot of things driving conditions, rotor thickness, quality of brake pads, and more. A routine brake inspection makes certain that your braking system is safe.
Lou's Muffler and Brake is proud to offer free brake inspections at the Hyannis, Plymouth, Quincy, and Westport locations. Our professional technicians will visually assess your brakes to determine if any service or repairs are needed.

Mumbai: The Bombay High Court has come down heavily on six medical professionals associated with Armed Forces Medical College in Pune (AFMC) for challenging the Bond Service rule of imposing Rs 25 lakh if five-year compulsory service is not provided after completing their courses.
TOI reports about the order that came in regard to the petition drafted by the doctors who were admitted to the institute for pursuing their post-graduate medical courses in the academic year 2014-15. At the time of admission, as per the brochure they were required to sign a bond calling 5 years of compulsory service with the armed forces after completion of their courses.
As per the norms, the doctors have to pay a bond amount of Rs 25 lakh if they fail to serve in the Short Service Commission of Armed Forces Medical Services for five years after their post graduate course.
Objecting to the policy, the doctors filed the petition in 2017. The doctors in the petition claimed that the information brochure had mentioned the bond to be of Rs 5 lakh but during the time of admissions the bond was indicated to be of Rs 25 lakh.
Further, the petitioners asserted that in all state and centre run medical colleges; the bond is deferred if the students go for super-specialty courses or other higher degree, which was not the case here.
The doctors averred that the institute does not encourage any such concession to civilian students who intend for higher education which they claimed to be discriminatory.
However, the High Court refused to give any relief to the petitioners on this matter.
In the recent hearing of the case, the court took a strong objections to the severe delay in filing the petition by the doctors. The court observed that they took admission in 2014-15 while they filed a petition in 2017.
The judges went through the entire matter and stated, that they did not find any illegality in AFMC's approach. It also took in the submission of the AFMC counsel that medical education of the students was subsidised by the state in lieu of which they were expected to render their services back to the defence forces.
With these observations, the court imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh on doctors. The bench asked the doctors to deposit the amount within 10 days with Pune-based Cipla Cancer & Aids Foundation or face contempt proceedings.
This is heinous! Why the court punish by penalty? Are they dictators?
Then, is only money spent only on doctors? Sticking a bond us one thing, it goes against the basic fundamental rights of any citizen to chose his or her job!! You cannot impose your demand on his personal choice! Does court think every citizen of this country already know the whole constitution?
Where went the fundamental right of citizens?
You are using ironhand to oppress!!
Never forget you get experience of several years by serving bond period along with reasonable salary.
When want join MBBS, you Sign indiscriminately and be willing to do anything asked for.
But passed out, DO WANT TO GIVE or don't want to do promised. SHAME !
There are hundreds of medical colleges with no bonds. Why didn't you apply there?
Why only doctors should sign the bond ? Govt pays for education of only doctors ? Why no bond for engineers, IIT, IIM grads ? They r allowed to leave the country immediately after studies. Why no bond for them ? Let them also serve the country for 5 yrs. During internship n 3 yr PG residency, doctors do serve the patients for peanut stipend. Thats more than sufficient.

Drama/ Sports
Only a few weeks ago I reviewed an Oliver Stone film with a great cast in JFK, and Any Given Sunday is another one. Super Bowl LV takes place this weekend and while I don't watch much American Football, I do very much enjoy it when I make the effort to. In particular the Tom Brady versus Patrick Mahomes storyline I've very much bought into. If it wasn't taking place at stupid o'clock here in the UK I'd watch the game live, but as it is I'll probably try desperately to avoid the result all day Monday and watch it after work.
Any Given Sunday follows the Miami Sharks as they push towards the playoffs. Long term coach Tony (Al Pacino) is plagued by injuries to his players and frayed political loyalties. Owner Christina Pagniacci (Cameron Diaz) inherited the team from her now deceased father and she's both ambitious yet increasingly open to the idea of selling the franchise- which is what clubs are called in America for some reason.
Obviously in real life Miami are the Miami Dolphins not Sharks and I can't help but think that the NFL wouldn't let the film makers use any of the real names or NFL brand due to Any Given Sunday's content. The film features nudity, drugs, sex, swearing, doping, violence, explicit shitting and the usual egos and acting like spoiled brats you expect of loaded sportspeople. I have it on good authority that the benign football (soccer) film Goal, which started life as a Michael Winterbottom movie, had its access and thus budget withdrawn when the Football Association discovered it was a lot more edgy than they wanted.
This separation from the authorities is for the best and allows the story to breathe unsanitised. Any Given Sunday is a brutal, bone crunching and thoroughly entertaining film whose two and a half hours whizz by. Ironically, despite there being four, fifteen minute quarters in a game of American Football, The Super Bowl takes about three or four hours to finish. This is what I don't like about the sport, and what prevents me making more of an effort with it; Any Given Sunday lasts less time than the Super Bowl.
The skill in the game is hard to capture on film, but Stone does a great job of making the matches feel visceral and tense. I know they wear pads and as a lifelong rugby player we always take the piss out of that but there doesn't seem to be any real definition of what a tackle is, it's an incredibly painful sport to play, with little margin for error. Given that all Americans are seven foot tall behemoths it's also like watching heavyweights smash into one another; who doesn't want to see that and Janet Jackson's nipple pop out?
Although fictional, one can't help but think Any Given Sunday is an expose with a lot more fact fed into the back end of its creation than might appear; Oliver Stone is something of an expert at this. An exhilarating sports drama which I was delighted to go back to.
Any sports fan would be mad not to and even if you don't like American Football- Pacino, Diaz, Dennis Quaid, James Woods, Jamie Foxx, Matthew Modine and Aaron Eckhart should be enough to convince any film fans. 8/10

Peel Ports' plans for a 20 year growth strategy for the Port of Sheerness have received overwhelming backing from local residents, according to the results of a community and stakeholder consultation programme.
The Port of Sheerness Master Plan was created by Peel Ports to inform the local community and key stakeholders of its proposals for sustainable expansion of the port estate, and to gather feedback.
In total 298 people attended a series of consultation events held over three days in November at Sheppey Gateway and Eastchurch Village Hall. The public was given a chance to discuss the five options for growth outlined in the Master Plan, which include a heritage quarter redevelopment, a mixed use development incorporating a marina, as well as rail link from Sheerness to Liverpool.
Feedback forms from the public consultation events identified strong support from local residents and stakeholders, with 83% of respondents expressing their full backing for the proposals outlined.
In particular plans to redevelop the site of the former steelworks facility were supported by 87% of respondents, with 84% of respondents keen to see a mixed use development or marina at Garrison Point.
Feedback revealed that 94% of respondents recognise the Port of Sheerness has a significant impact on the area providing economic benefits and employment creation and retention. Peel Ports' has already committed to filling these jobs with local people wherever possible.
The proposals come less than a year since Peel Ports opened a new inspection centre for Volkswagen at the port, which has created around 100 new jobs in the area.
"We are keen to progress our strategic commitment to grow and develop the Port of Sheerness over the next 20 years and showcase our long term ambition to remain a key employer and driver for sustainable growth in the Swale region.
The response to our public consultations has been phenomenal and the fact that almost 300 people attended them shows how important the future of the port is to people in the area.
This Master Plan has been developed because Peel Ports has made a long-term, strategic commitment to grow and develop the Port of Sheerness. The Master Plan sets out our intentions of how we plan to develop the port so it remains a key employer and driver for growth in the Swale region for the next two decades.
Peel Ports will now undertake a comprehensive review of all feedback received during the public consultation so changes and additions to the draft Master Plan can be considered.
The publication of the final Master Plan is expected in 2016.
Peel Ports will continue to keep the public fully informed of any developments during the planning process.


GMR Rajahmundry's lenders include nine banks such as IDBI Bank and IDFC.
GMR Rajahmundry's Rs 2,366-crore account is all set to become a non-performing asset (NPA). In January 2016, the loan was put under the strategic debt restructuring (SDR) scheme.
Under SDR, the debt has been converted into equity. Bankers own 55 percent of GMR Rajahmundry's equity after converting the 55 percent debt. The bankers then have to find a buyer for this equity.
If they are unable to find the buyer in 18 months, the loan is declared NPA. For GMR Rajahmundry, the 18 months ended on June 30.


As a holiday getaway, Florida attracts more than its fair share of tourists. Over 1.5 million Britons, for example, traveled to Florida in 2005, a staggering number when you think that the feelings towards the US throughout Europe have not been as positive as it was before 9/11. Florida boasts some of most beautiful beaches around notwithstanding the obvious popularity of our theme parks in and around Orlando. Miami in particular with its rich diversity of people from Latin America, the Caribbean Islands, Europe and elsewhere is a unique melting post of cultures and languages. If you travel to Miami with your family, then you will know that staying in crammed hotels, however luxurious or fancy they might be, may not be the solution for you and your family.
Miami Vacation Apartments are an ideal alternative for you and your family. They may not provide room service although some hotels have suites that are equipped with the usual amenities provided by conventional apartments, but they provide more room for your money. Miami Holiday Apartments come in all regular combination of sizes, number of room (from one bedroom to 3 bedrooms and sometimes even more). They are fully furnished and equipped and boast the usual kitchen, lounge and dining room available in any home. They are truly your home away from home, and with the additional space they provide, they will also most likely enable you to save a whole bunch of money on nightly rates when compared to hotel accommodation but also savings on meals taken at home rather than hotels for example.
Families can travel and explore their holiday destination and then come home to relax and rest in the privacy of their own bedrooms. One last thing to consider when searching for a holiday apartments is that they are also called Vacation Condos, Miami Holiday Accommodation or even Vacation Apartments. Miami Holiday Apartments: Don't travel without them!.


The brand-new 2018 collection from Minotti embraces global talent.
2018 is a very special year for Minotti: a breakthrough in the company's evolutionary path. Having reached its seventieth anniversary—a milestone that attests a strong commitment to interior design—Minotti is celebrating with a brand new, multifaceted collection, featuring pieces from contributors whose design philosophies are rooted in various cultural backgrounds. It's a collection that keeps intact the values so dear to Minotti—elegance of forms, sobriety in design and continuity in the tradition inherent to its DNA—but embraces the solicitations coming from different cultures, too.
Entirely coordinated by Rodolfo Dordoni, as a sign of continuity, the Minotti 2018 collection welcomes the stylistic input of four international designers. Dordoni himself is from Italy, and has been part of the success of Minotti's adventure for now twenty years; with this special collection, he reaffirms his unmistakable style while embracing international talent.
Linked to the principles of both rationalism and interior decoration, Dordoni's own timeless pieces, which are the perfect expression of Minotti identity, carry references to the world of contemporary art.
From Japan, Nendo brings his light graphic tone: with the subtle poetry that runs through his designs, the attention to volumes, thicknesses and unexpected details that invites everyone to discover his creations closely.
From France, Christophe Delcourt reconnects Minotti with the affection of French culture for decoration, precious materials, surfaces worked with artisanal savoir-faire and fine cabinetmaking, combined with high-end technologies.
From Brazil, Marcio Kogan conveys his architectural approach to outdoor designs, borrowing elements and materials from the worlds of nature and yachting, abolishing the boundaries between inside and outside.
The 2018 Collection interprets all these stimuli and declares its gaze on the future, inserting the symbol of the infinite into its name. An infinite present that marks the evolution of Minotti's design strategy, transversal in style and languages.

Denver 4/20 Festival Cancelled Over Coronavirus Fears
Martin Green March 18, 2020 Marijuana Politics
Denver's annual 4/20 cannabis festival is the latest high-profile event to be cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak that has plagued the world.
Retailer Euflora was set to host FlyHi 420 at the Civic Center next month, with rapper Lil John headlining the event. However, Euflora has now announced that the free festival has been called off due to fears over the spread of coronavirus.
It followed a new directive from Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, who has banned public gatherings of more than 250 people. Denver has also ordered all bars and restaurants to close their doors and focus solely on takeaways.
This could lead to many more 4/20 gatherings across Colorado and the rest of the country not taking place, potentially denting sales.
The origins of 4/20 are debated – some say it references a group of students that would ritualistically smoke weed at 4:20 p.m. every day, while others believe it was the California police code for marijuana – but April 20 is a date cherished by marijuana users across America.
They gather in large groups and bond over a shared love of weed, and sales usually spike dramatically on the day. Mass gatherings look unlikely next month, but the cannabis sector could still cash in if home deliveries ramp up and weed lovers celebrate the day in the comfort of their own homes.
One retailer, Organic Alternatives in Fort Collins, Colorado, closed voluntarily on Monday due to concerns over the spread of coronavirus. "As a long-standing business in this community, we feel it is our responsibility to do what we can to help stop the spread of this virus," it said in a statement.
Organic Alternatives said it was a difficult decision, but it felt compelled to take action due to the diverse number of patrons it typically welcomes from all over the world. The store will not reopen until it is safe to open without the need for social distancing.
Colorado was one of the first two states to legalize adult-use cannabis and sales reached a record $1.74 billion last year. That was a 12.3% increase on 2018, but it remains to be seen if the state can maintain its growth curve in the current climate.
