Left: The variable coupling of edge states between two lateral quantum Hall states (blue regions). Right: R34 vs tunnel barrier gate voltage, which controls the barrier height.
This research was conducted in the SCM2 18-tesla superconducting magnet and the He-3 cryostat at the DC Field Facility.
Overcoming lithographic challenges, scientists working at the MagLab fabricated dual split gated bilayer graphene devices in which the height of the tunneling barrier between the edge states of two quantum Hall systems is controlled electrically by a gate voltage. This allows researchers to continuously tune the transmission rate of edge states to examine the entire regime of 0 ≤ a ≤ 1. Users observed experimental evidence of the sequential pinch-off of individual edge states, as a function of the barrier height.
Bilayer graphene exhibits even-denominator fractional quantum Hall states, whose collective excitations follow unusual quantum statistics and could be used as a basis for topological quantum computation. Experimental examination of the collective excitations requires an electron interferometer. Gate-controlled manipulation of the edge states within the quantum Hall effect is the first step towards realizing the interferometer.
SCM2 provides both a high magnetic field up to 18 teslas, to fully develop the quantum Hall edge states, and a low-noise measurement environment, necessary to perform precision measurements needed for this study.

Holden's commitment to the Supercars championship will formally end at the completion of the 2020 season. The manufacturer has revised its agreement with Triple Eight Race Engineering to provide factory support for the Red Bull Holden Racing Team after the news earlier this year that the brand would be retired by parent company General Motors. While Holden's contract with Triple Eight originally ran until the end of the 2021 campaign, an agreement has been reached to terminate the contract a year early. It will mean the powerful Red Bull team, which features multiple championship winners Jamie Whincup and Shane van Gisbergen, could line up in a different brand of car from 2021 onwards. Holden and Triple Eight joined forces in 2010 and have won six drivers' titles, four Bathurst 1000 races and eight teams championships as a partnership. With Ford and Nissan having withdrawn their factory support in recent seasons, the agreement means none of the championship's teams will have direct manufacturer backing from next season. Triple Eight says it will retain its branding with Red Bull, with the energy drink giant contracted until the end of the 2021 season. Australian Associated Press

Whatever the film's original intentions, it's now become pure camp. Jody (Ann-Margaret) is a juvenile delinquent who's broken out of a girls' reformatory and breaks into the home of wannabe politician David Patton (Forsythe), who's separated from his wife. Jody works her considerable wiles and soon Patton's life is filled with wild parties, rampant teen lust, and violence. Too bad it wasn't filmed in the lurid color it deserved. Based on the book by Wade Miller.

December and January are the months that receive the least rainfall of approximately 20 mm while the month of September receives the highest rainfall of about 367 mm.
Port Harcourt Geography and society: The major city of the area is Port Harcourt located in its local government area. The metropolitan area of the city is made up of several parts of Akpor/Obio Local Government area and major neighboring towns are Diobu (Rebisi settlement), Abuloma (Okrika settlement), Isaka (Okrika settlement), Woji Ikwere settlement) and Alesa Eleme (Ogoni settlement). Some of the well known and popular residential areas of the city are Abuloma, GRA phases 1 to 5, Amadi-ama, Borokiri and Amadi Flats. The major industrial area is Trans Amadi.
Port Harcourt Transportation: The city has been well-served by the Port Harcourt International Airport and a large number of airlines provide their service to link the city with other areas of the country and also international destinations. There are also two sea ports, which are PortHarcourt Wharf and FOT Onne. The public transportation system in the city is also good enough for residents as well as visitors.
Port Harcourt Economy: The city of Port Harcourt serves as a chief industrial center as there are several multinational firms in the city in addition to other industrial concerns, especially those related to the industry of petroleum. The city serves as a major oil-refining center of Nigeria which makes oil as one of the most significant commodities of Nigeria. Because of its vast export opportunities, Port Harcourt is one of the major foreign exchange earners in the country.

Coal production suspended at SUEK mine
On December 19, 2021, coal production was suspended at SUEK's Rubana mine (the Kemerovo Region), due to a fire in the mine face.
The mine's emergency response mode was launched. All 128 people, who were underground were evacuated to the surface, no one was injured. 'There will be consequences for SUEK in any case, as the prosecutor's office and authorities will conduct thorough checks next week', said State Duma official representing the region.
This is the second coal mine accident in Kuzbass this year. On November 25, the explosion at Listvyazhnaya mine killed 51 people, including 5 rescuers. This accident was the largest in the coal industry in recent years.
After the fatal explosion at Listvyazhnaya, the Governor of Kuzbass Sergei Tsivilev ordered to additionally check all mines in the region for explosion safety. From November 26 to November 29, 31 mines were checked, 449 violations were discovered, 180 cases of administrative violations were opened, 19 orders to eliminate violations and 2 warnings were announced. Thus, the accidents at Listvyazhnaya and Rubana mines may affect the operations of other coal companies and reduce the availability of high-CV coal, boosting prices.
For the period from January to October 2021, coal extraction at Rubana mine amounted to 3.4 mio t of coal (-0.66 mio t or -16.2% y-o-y).
In 2020, the mine produced 4.2 mio t of coal, around 4% of the total output of SUEK (101.2 mio t). Coal reserves at the mine by the end of 2020 totaled 140 mio t.


Herman Wallace died nine days before his 72nd birthday. The famed 'Angola 3' prisoner succumbed to liver cancer on Friday, 3 days after being released from prison.
Enough is enough—call on Louisiana authorities to free Albert Woodfox.
Albert's conviction has already been overturned three times—most recently by a federal district court—but the state obsessively appeals every time the court rules in his favor.
I never met Herman, and yet I will always remember him as larger-than-life—a symbol of resistance to human rights abuses and injustice who refused to be silenced. More than 110,000 people like you rose up to free him—Now it's time to shine the light for Albert—take action.


During the holidays, people who gather with their families tend to stick to fairly safe topics of conversation like sports, movies and the weather. However, a holiday gathering is actually the perfect time to talk about something that's usually considered taboo in American conversation: money. Money is a fundamental part of our lives, and talking about it with the people who are close to us can yield a deeper understanding of one another, as well as valuable advice. Read on to learn about how you can make finances a topic at the table this year while minimizing your chances of offending someone.
A lot of traditional American etiquette, including the rules for talking about money, can be traced back to the values of wealthy aristocrats in Victorian England. In upper-crust Victorian society, talking about money was considered vulgar because wealth was much more visible, so it was easier to tell how well a family was doing by looking at their lifestyle. Additionally, people in those circles had so much money that they didn't have to worry about it on a day-to-day basis.
Obviously, that's not a luxury modern individuals have, so now even longstanding etiquette rules, such as not discussing how much money you make, are beginning to break down. Younger generations in America are much more likely to talk about their salaries compared to older generations. With economic issues such as stagnating wages and climbing housing costs on many young people's minds, talking about money can help them find out whether they're being underpaid at their job or overcharged for rent.
Have a reason: When you broach a financial topic at the holiday table, have a purpose behind it beyond pure curiosity. People are much more likely to engage in a conversation about money if they think they're helping you and you're not just being nosy. Having a reason becomes doubly important if you're asking people for specific figures, such as how much they pay in housing costs or what their car is worth, as these are highly personal questions.
Ask questions: Asking your family for tips on how to budget, save and invest can be a great way to get a discussion going. It can also be a connection point between the younger and older people at the table. Young people who are early in their careers, or just starting to earn money of their own, can learn a lot from the advice of their elders who have been dealing with finances for a number of decades. This is especially true when it comes to building a nest egg, which is something that many people don't think about until later in life, but that can greatly benefit from early attention.
Keep things vague: In a group setting like a holiday dinner, try to avoid mentioning or asking for specific figures. Instead, keep discussions hypothetical. For instance, instead of asking "how much money did you have in savings at my age?" you can ask "how much money do you think is good to have in savings at my age?" Topics such as saving, investing and credit cards are excellent conversation points because they usually pertain to a broader audience. Fifty dollars means different things to different people, but earning an effective 2% cash back on all purchases with a Citi Double Cash Card (a NextAdvisor advertiser) is appealing to people at every income bracket. If you do want to ask someone a question that involves a specific number, it's more polite to do that in a private conversation, as opposed to a crowded dinner table.
Bragging: Whether it's healthy or not, people often tie a lot of their self-worth to the amount of money they have. Using a financial conversation as an opportunity to brag about your salary or how well your stocks have been doing may lower the self-esteem of the people around you or cause others to think that you crave attention, which will make the rest of the holiday event more unpleasant for everybody. This also applies to offering unsolicited advice, which is often not welcome. If you have some piece of advice you'd like to share, save it until someone asks a relevant question or brings up a related topic.
Bringing up debt: About 73% of Americans will die with at least some debt to their name, which means it's quite likely that someone at your Thanksgiving table is struggling with debt. Considering how carrying debt can feel like being stuck in an endless cycle, to make sure everyone's spirits stay high, it's best to just avoid the topic altogether.
Talking about the economy: While the economy can be a great topic, as it starts impersonal but can easily lead to deeper and more intimate discussion, be very careful as it can also lead to the bane of Thanksgiving or holiday tables: political talk. For families with strong political divides, it's best to minimize any possible risk that the conversation will turn to politics, even if that means steering clear of an otherwise good dialogue starter.
Asking to borrow money: Your close friends and family are great resources if you need to borrow money, and may lend to you for low or no interest rates. However, asking for a loan is an extremely touchy subject with a lot of people, and is best done privately after the holiday festivities. Asking someone for a loan in front of the entire family is probably one of the worst ways you can put that person on the spot, and is highly likely to embarrass them. Additionally, when you ask be prepared for a swift and definite rejection, and have a back-up plan if you really need the money.
Above all of these etiquette tips, remember first and foremost to respect other people's boundaries. You can talk about money in the most polite way possible, but if the topic is still making the people around you uncomfortable, it's best to just change the subject and focus on enjoying some the festive foods.

Here Are Some Happy Hanukkah Recipes
Office Life / Tips/Tricks / Work Life Balance	16 Dec 2014	Inksmith
The BBC says that Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights, is celebrated with gifts, games and fried food. Sounds good to me.
The nicest thing about religious celebrations is how often they involve friends, family and food. Today we're taking a quick look at #Hanukkah, which starts this evening on December 16 and ends on December 24.
From what I understand, the origin of the festival comes from when a group of Jews called the #Maccabees needed to light a special lamp, called a menorah, as part of re-dedicating a temple to God.
They only had enough olive oil to light the lamp for one day, but it stayed alight for eight days instead. That was considered miraculous, which is why Hanukkah is an eight-day festival.
It's also a time to have fun. Hanukkah traditions include playing a game with spinning tops called dreidels, giving gifts of money to younger children and eating lots of delicious food. Let's have a look…
How to play #dreidel
A recipe for #latkes – fried potato cakes
How to make #sufganiyot – deep fried jam doughnuts
And a recipe for rugelach – stuffed and rolled sweet pastries
This definitely looks like my kind of festival. Anyone fancy inviting me to theirs for next year? Happy Hanukkah!

The first-of-its-kind blockchain – powered car rental, ride and parking space sharing ecosystem – free of middlemen, commissions and dependencies. The Project's ultimate goal is to offer a single marketplace for easy, efficient, transparent and direct interactions between rent-a-car, ride sharing and parking space owners and users. By employing blockchain technology, FFQuest will enable suppliers to eliminate inflated price offers, will ensure timely payments settlement and new channels for underused fleets. Clients will benefit from an access to a broad range of listings, prices with 0% commission, clear bidding conditions and instant booking.
FFQuest is the first of its kind ecosystem, designed to unite the car and parking space rental business lines (or sectors) by adopting the cutting-edge technology of blockchain and revolutionizing the industry of online mobility rentals. By building a Decentralized, open source digital environment based on the freemium model, FFQuest will enable automobile owners, space owners, and end-customers to enter into direct commercial transactions and to exchange value free of additional charges and middlemen. Without fees, commissions or other traditionally incurred costs, the supply, and demand of the mobility services will use the potential of the robust blockchain automation model in order for all participants to benefit from the better price formation. The Decentralized system will hold the FFQ Rental Ledger (Distributed FFQ Ledger). This is the primary tool that will govern all details of the transactions between car companies (both independent providers and large franchises), car drivers, space owners, and customers. It will function by using the utility token called FFQ. The web portal FFQuest.com will act as the one-stop marketplace that will offer at its final stage, a superior user experience and easy access to a wide variety of mobility services. FFQuest ultimate goal is to create a unified global portal – FFQuest.com – that will address the entire range of all participants needs and provide them with numerous advantages. The blockchain is found to be an appealing solution to the problems with intermediation, transparency, security and incorruptibility, ensured by the cryptographic signatures and encryption, and the decentralized consensus of the distributed ledger technology. Unlike existing centralized platforms, where additional fees amount to anything between 20-70%, FFQuest will preserve the distributed nature of all deals and listings. The final result will be eliminating intermediaries, safeguarding transaction transparency and ensuring fair pricing. At the same time, it will offer equal business opportunities for smaller rent-a-car companies, as well as a franchise, regional or multinational rental providers. Increased customer satisfaction and reduced fleet downtime will provide opportunities for the more competitive offers to break through. For automobile and parking space owners, the seamless integration between the FFQuest.com marketplace and the Distributed FFQ Ledger creates an entirely independent and extremely potent ecosystem, capable of challenging and outperforming the top service providers in the $276 billion global mobility market.

When a couple chooses to adopt a minor in New Jersey, they have the option of going through many different adoption agencies. However, no matter which agency you choose, the common thread among all Adoptions is that they must be permitted by a court.
There are many skillful Adoption lawyers that are very familiar with this court procedure and can help your adoption move through it fluidly.
It does not matter how prepped you think you are for your adoption procedure; you should always have an Adoption attorney at hand to help you. These attorneys are accomplished enough to know when you need to give the court more information, or what exactly you need to do to demonstrate that you are a qualified parent. Adoption attorneys know how to highlight all your good qualities in court in Edison.
In 2006, Money Magazine ranked Edison the twenty-eighth most livable small city in the U.S. Two years later, this rank fell to thirty-five. In 2009, U.S. News and World Report ranked the city as one of "America's 10 Best Places to Grow Up." U.S. News and World Report uses factors such as low crime, a strong school system, greenery, and recreational activities.
With all of Edison's distinctions, naturally it is home to a variety of professionals, including attorneys. Many attorneys practice law in Edison and are able to aid residents and local businesses with their legal needs.

Rat Queens #2 Review
November 5, 2013 Image Comicsblog, comics, Image Comics, Rat Queens #2 ReviewLa Cracha Handy
The phrase, "Don't judge a book by its cover" does not apply to the cover of Rat Queens, a new comic series by Image Comics/Shadowline. Whether they're drunk or sober, I wouldn't go near any one of these kick ass battle maidens for anything. They might beat you down to a pulp at the blink of an eye.
The Queens are:
Violet – Dwarf, level-headed
Dee – Human, cleric, atheist, healing powers, level-headed
Hannah – Elf, mage, shows leadership, aggressive, hot-headed, full of attitude
Betty – Hobbit with a large sexual appetite, bubbly personality
In the debut issue of this dark, supernatural comedy, the Queens were thrown in the dungeon after a brawl. In exchange for their release, they had to complete a quest, getting rid of goblins from Hindman Cave. The female mercenaries arrived at the cave and found a ninja assassin waiting for them.
After defeating a giant troll in the current issue, the Queens realized a hit had been placed on them, and the other mercenary teams. By the way, I like Brother Ponies, they all wear ponytails! Now the Queens has to venture out on a quest of their own, find the person(s) who wants them dead.
The Queens are four hipster badass women that steps down to no one. They love bar brawls, getting drunk and mushrooms. They also have different personalities, which definitely shows in the dynamic script written by Kurtis J. Wiebe.
Being a fan of dark and the supernatural, it came as no surprise that I found the artwork, by Ron Upchurch, to be awesome. I especially like the fight scenes, and the giant, nasty-looking troll. I also like the fine details of the characters, in regards to appearance, facial expressions and especially height!
I knew from its debut issue that I would continue reading this entertaining comic to see where it's going. I am already enjoying this title. Character interactions are funny, and I love Hanna's aggressiveness. She's full of attitude and will probably slice you in half just for looking at her the wrong way. And I think Betty is adorable. She may be diminutive in size, and wears a pretty (and sometimes drunk) smile, but she will gouge your eyes out, just like she did to that troll. If you like booze, bar brawls, and feisty kick-ass women, then Rat Queens is definitely for you.
I recommend this title to mature readers of dark, supernatural and mythology.

Q: Prevent android wear app from being installed on phone I have an android app with a wear dependent application.
When I run gradlew installDebug in the root folder, with my phone connected, gradle first installs the mobile app on the phone, then the wear app on the phone.
Since it's the same package name, the mobile app gets overwritten and the wear app can not be run on a phone.
Is there a way to make installDebug fail for a subproject if a suitable device is not found, and install it only on the devices that support wear or phone?

Hi!! I would love to go to the class but I live in a different state! i read that you can ship the kit, please e mail me at lisheehan@hotmail.com.
Hi Monique! LOVE all your projects--wish I lived near you so I could take full advantage of all your talent! If you don't mind sharing, which cut is it from TBBM that you used for your card box?
Kathy, I used the matchbox cut from TBBM, but it was tricky to get the box large enough. I actually had to use Design Studio and a large mat to make it work. For those who order a kit, the box itself will actually be cut out already. Thanks for the great question!
I am so glad I found your blog. You are so creative and inspiring!I love all your stuff. Big thanks for the support and talking back and forth about my sick puppy boy Max. What a sweet person! God Bless.
Too cute!! I luv all the cards and the box! Great job! I found your lovely blog on the Cricut MB. I'm now a follower.

A very brief overview of the Autumn anime season part 3 | FULL MOE PANIC!!!
This post took a lot longer to complete than i would have preferred.
Now this is what space battle should be like. Ship to ship combat featuring large armadas with plenty of beam spamming, no mobile suits and a FABULOUS looking command bridge to top it up. Tytania has fulfilled my expectations and this is certainly shaping up to be an space epic.
Hakushaku to Yousei or earl and Fairy is one of those anime that doesnt really stand out of the bunch given the strength of the autumn line-up this time around so it is understandable that some might give this a miss. Tha quality of the animation is nothing to shout about and the story sounds a tad cliched but it has a healthy dose of FABULOUS and a cat fairy that drinks liquor is enough convinvcing for me.
Watching Choas;Head is somewhat like looking into a mirror as far as i am concerned. The male lead Takumi is what i think i would be like if i took things to the extreme and shun society completely. One of the things that consistently grabbed my attention was the cross that was used to skewer the man in the alley, somehow i knew that i have seen it before and after looking through some old files i found out that it resembles C.C.'s stigmata. Code Geass R3 anyone? The level of blood and gore in the first episode failed to draw out any reaction from me. After watching the bloodbaths in Kara no Kyoukai this seems like a tame affair.
I miss Chihiro from "a tale of memories" but Mizuki and Yuuko are fine too. The reference to masks in the first episode reminds me of Code Geass. I do wonder am i suffering from Geass withdrawal symptom as i tend to see elements of Code Geass in other anime.
This entry was posted in anime and tagged Chaos;Head, ef- A Tale of Melodies, Hakushaku to Yousei, Tytania. Bookmark the permalink.
Oh Teatania is faaabulous…with epic manly tea pouring in space.
I still can't seem to feel for e.f (lack of sauce is on thing) and have yet to try Teatania, but I guess you're right about it being fabulous enough for me to warrant a try at least.
I noticed the same thing about the cross and masks.
It's odd how a lot of shows this season involve pointy objects of some sort.
@shin: ill pass the sauce for ef sometime later. And yes Teatania is FABULOUS and you should try some.
@Mizunaga: Great minds think alike.
@xephfyre: I see what you did there. "pointy objects" eh?
@Panther: surely you meant in Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace instead.

Q: Custom region does not show up in a Drupal Sub theme I am attempting to create a custom region for my Drupal 7 sub theme. The process I am following is:
1) Specify sub region in .info file of subtheme like this:
   regions['sub_region'] = Sub region
2) In the page.tpl.php file,
    print render($page['sub_region']);  at the location where I wish the sub region would appear.
3) Cleared the Cache
However, this new sub region does not appear in my Blocks.
Anybody have pointers as to what I am doing wrong ? Or need to do more
Thanks

A: It might be worth having a read of this, specially this section.

Region inheritance
Sub-themes do not inherit custom regions from a parent theme. If you
  are using custom regions, you should copy the region declarations from
  the parent theme's .info file. Be sure your sub-theme's page.tpl.php
  file matches the sub-theme's region settings.

EDIT

On your blocks page in the top right corner are tabs so you can set different blocks on different themes. Are you selecting the sub theme?

A: Your syntax for the region declaration in .info is incorrect. There should not be single quotes wrapping the region name.
regions[sub_region] = Sub region

1986: The Stoning of Soraya M
9 comments August 15th, 2009 Headsman
It was on this date, according to French-Iranian journalist Freidoune Sahebjam's The Stoning of Soraya M, that 35-year-old mother Soraya Manutchehri was stoned to death in an Iranian village.
In a scene from The Stoning of Soraya M, the titular character awaits her titular fate.
In Sahebjam's telling, a journalistic trip to the Islamic Republic chances upon a mountain village with a terrible secret.
The story he uncovers features one Ghorban-Ali, nasty husband par excellence who grows tired of the arranged wife he's spent 22 years beating and (falsely) accuses her of adultery in order to put her out of the way so that he can remarry a younger bride.
With the complicity of the local mullah, the impolitic silence of the accused, and the structural misogyny of the law, Soraya Manutchehri quickly finds herself condemned to death on this date, and stoned within hours — Soraya's own father casting the first stones.
This powerful story, officially denied by Tehran, has just been released in cinematic form. The Stoning of Soraya M. (movie homepage) features an unsubtle dramatic tableau, a stomach-churning 20-minute stoning sequence, and Iranian-American actress Shohreh Aghdashloo as Soraya's aunt Zahra Kahnum, fearlessly giving the foreign journalist this explosive story
As it happened, this cinematic condemnation of the reduced status of women in the Ayatollah's Iran made its American debut the same week that cell phone footage of Neda Agha-Soltan, bleeding to death after being shot dead during protests against Iran's recent election results, became an Internet sensation.

1-hr 27-min video: Stefan Molyneux - "The Truth About the Justin Trudeau Scandal"
Posted By: hobie
The Truth About the Justin Trudeau Scandal
Stefan Molyneux, Host of Freedomain Radio - the largest and most popular philosophy show in the world - takes you on a deep journey to the dark and shocking center of the Justin Trudeau scandal that may well bring down Canada's Prime Minister.
Jody Wilson-Raybould: daughter of hereditary Kwakiutl chief Bill Wilson – he was a lawyer who negotiated with Justin Trudeau's father to make sure that Aboriginal rights were included in Canada's 1982 constitution.
BBC: "Justin Trudeau is Canada's prime minister. He won a majority government in 2015 on a platform of transparency, gender equality and a commitment to reconciliation with Canada's indigenous peoples." He's had problems, such as groping allegations and 2017:
"The Ethics Commissioner has ruled that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau broke Canada's ethics law over two all-expenses-paid family trips to the Bahamas, rejecting the assertion his host was a close friend and dismissing his rationale for accepting helicopter flights to the private island.
"The report said Mr. Trudeau violated four sections of the Conflict of Interest Act regarding two of the family trips last year to Bells Cay. The private island is owned by the Aga Khan, the billionaire spiritual leader of the world's Ismaili Muslims, whose organizations deal frequently with the federal government."
"Mr. Trudeau had maintained he broke no rules because public office holders are allowed to accept gifts from friends. But Ms. Dawson concluded the two men were not friends under the Conflict of Interest Act, having spoken only once in the 30 years before Mr. Trudeau became Liberal Leader."
SNC-Lavalin is Canada's largest engineering and construction firm, employing thousands of people across the country and particularly in Quebec.
It employs nearly 54,000 people worldwide, 9,000 people across Canada, 3,400 in Quebec.
SNC-Lavalin is based in Quebec, a swing province which is generally necessary for the Liberal Party to win during an election – which is coming up in October 2019.
When the Liberals win in Quebec, they often secure a majority of seats in parliament. When they lose...
In autumn 2018, Quebec was in the middle of a strenuous provincial election that eventually resulted in the ousting of the Quebec Liberal premier.

My daughter is the perfect reflection of me. My son looks like me, but my daughter IS me. Everything about her reminds me of myself at her age; reserved, aware, contemplative and earnest.
It's odd how as a father I parent my two kids differently. With my son I'm challenging, tough, firm and authoritative. With my daughter, well let's just say I'm "putty". If you really want to know a man, to truly understand him at his essence, watch him around his daughter(s). He can be the hardest, most cold hearted thug in the world, but with his daughter he's kind, thoughtful, considerate, and understanding. Why is that?
My theory is that when fathering a boy, we try to steer him, make him strong and tough and he'll be okay. We encourage him to hide his vulnerabilities and never show weakness or fear; "man up" is a common refrain.
With our daughters we're in touch with all those emotions society tells us we shouldn't be . You can be vulnerable, fearful anxious, and even moved to tears because of your daughter. I talk with dads all the time about this, and to a man, we all want to put a "forcefield" or build a protective glass case around our daughters. Remember the scene in the movie "Clueless" when the really cool dude shows up to take Alicia Silverstone's character Cher out on a date and the father says, "I have a gun and a shovel; I doubt anyone would miss you". Another of my favorites is from the film Bad Boys 2, when Will Smith says to a terrified teenage boy who is about to take his niece out on a date; (waving a gun in the air) "I ain't afraid to go BACK to jail". Classic!
With our daughters we seek to keep them close and away from boys (like us). We share little about our daughters, except her accomplishments; mostly because to do so would be to expose our own vulnerabilities. It's true, try this next time you're around a guy with a son and daughter. The conversation may go something like this:
You: hey man your son is getting so big and handsome
Father: yeah thanks, I appreciate that, but he better learn to clean up his room and keep them grades up, or me and him gonna lock horns.
You: and your daughter, my goodness, she's so beautiful
Father: aw, thank you, and did you know she was captain of the track and volleyball teams, is starring in the spring musical, got accepted to Harvard by the 8th grade, and volunteered at a homeless shelter for a month after school? She has no flaws and can do no wrong.
Fellas am I right? To keep it all the way real, she is our perfect reflection so indulge us.

This entrancing, well-designed game offers you the best of both worlds. It has the drama, variety, and mystery of a good adventure game combined with the fast-paced excitement of an arcade game. Your job is to rid the kingdom of the three evil wizards. All this would be easy if the wizards weren't so zealously guardsed by servants whose names reflect their personalities: bat-wingers, blinkers, chokers, crushers, and stompers.
You are in love with the Princess Dilayna and have asked her father the King for her hand in marriage. Her father does not particularly like you. He challenges you to demonstrate your worthiness by capturing the three evil wizards that have been ravaging the kingdom for years. They each live in their own castle protected by their servants—the bat-wingers, the blinkers, the chokers, the stompers, and the crushers. The castle rooms are rumored to be deadly, the untouchable walls, fast-moving enemies, and no exits. You reluctantly accept the King's challenge.
Fortunately, a friendly magician gives you a cloak that makes the wearer invisible. But the cloak's power works only for a limited time in each room. Once the time is up, you are instantly destroyed. The magician also gives you a magic spell that temporarily freezes all servants in a room. But you must use this spell with care: it will consume a portion of the cloak's power each time it is used.
Armed with these aids, you leave on your quest. The King wishes you good luck—or did he say good riddance?
The object of "Castle Quest" is to capture the three wizards. To reach each wizard, you must pass through the ten rooms of his castle. The rooms are inhabited by the wizard's servants, who move about quickly in an unpredictable manner. The higher numbered rooms in each castle have more servants (up to 32). The servants move progressively faster as you complete more rooms.
You have three lives to capture the first wizard. Capturing a wizard earns you three additional lives. Touching a servant or a room wall or failing to exit a room within the allotted time will cause loss of a life. You cannot exit a room until you capture both door keys in that room by touching them. One key is invisible until the other key is touched.
Once both keys are captured, the room's exit appears—unless you are in a castle's tenth room. In this case, the wizard appears, and you must capture him before you can escape. Also, once you capture the first key, your presence becomes known to the wizard, and he causes room wall segments to move to block your escape. You must move quickly to avoid destruction.
A counter at the top of the screen signals the amount of "cloak time" remaining. Pressing the joystick fire button will temporarily freeze the action, permitting you to move safely past a tight corner, but you lose 50 units of cloak time each time you use the freeze option. The room number and the number of your remaining lives are displayed at the top left of the screen. Your score—a measure of your ability to elude the many dangers involved—is displayed at the top right of the screen.
Room patterns, key locations, servant locations, and wizard placement are randomly generated, so be prepared to touch keys partially embedded in walls, move through weird mazes, etc. Sometimes a secret passageway is created at the bottom or in a room's right wall. You may use these passageways for a quick, easy escape.

Intel collaborated with the NFL to bring drones for the Super Bowl
Intel and NFL collaborated on a first time ever Super Bowl Halftime drone show.
Intel, the tech giant, has never backed out from a challenge. It had also set a record last year for having the most number of drones airborne at once. Intel even inaugurated the Winter Olympics 2018, with its mesmerizing drones which created beautiful patterns in the sky. The company has yet again brought the magic of its drones, known as the Shooting Star drones, by collaborating with the NFL to enhance the Pepsi Super Bowl LIII Halftime show. 150 custom Intel drones illuminated the stadium during the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime, while Intel True View enabled immersive highlights of the game. They co-created the first-ever live drone light show during a Super Bowl Halftime.
The customized lantern shaped drones.
Intel broke another record with its drone show
As the popular band, Maroon 5, began the song "She Will Be Loved," 150 enhanced Intel Shooting Star drones floated up. They flew over the field in a choreographed performance to the music to form the words "ONE" and "LOVE." Intel enhanced the drones so that their appearance resembled that of floating lanterns. The drones were also enabled to successfully fly a pre-programmed path inside a closed stadium environment without GPS. Additionally, the 150 drones flown indoors exceed the world record that Intel earned flying 110 indoor drones at CES in 2018.
"Our team constantly looks for opportunities to push the boundaries of innovation and deliver stunning entertainment experiences with our drone technology," said Anil Nanduri, Intel vice president and general manager of the Intel Drone Group. "When we received the opportunity to bring our drone light show technology back to the Super Bowl, we were excited by the challenge to execute it live and within a closed stadium environment. We collaborated with the show producers, both creatively and technically, to bring a special and unique show experience to the viewers. It was an honor to have performed with Maroon 5 to create a memorable experience for those watching live from their seats in the stadium and for viewers watching at home." he added.
Watch how the Intel Shooting Star's team made it happen:

Canadians believe in the therapeutic powers of medical cannabis. That is why thousands of patients are authorized by the federal government to use and possess medical marijuana anywhere in the country. Experts believe it is a safe option to treating an array of medical disorders without using pharmaceutical drugs.
Like we have already mentioned, it is legal to possess medical cannabis, as long as you own a license. New patients can get a license by applying through the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR).
Medical cannabis laws in Canada are usually regulated by the ACMPR program. Basically, this puts the decision to use marijuana for medicinal purposes exclusively in the hands of the patients and his/her doctor. The majority of medical clinics in Canada require that a patient's diagnosis be not older than 5 years old. Most notably, it must come from a physician or doctor practicing medicine within the country.
Actually, to be qualified for a prescription in the country, the patient's condition must be diagnosed by a medical expert or a family doctor within the last 12 months. There are several walk-in clinics with physicians who qualify to recommend you for the program.
All related medical documents should be accessible for you to be eligible. This includes the hospital, physician/health care practitioner who treated you for your qualifying condition or any other relevant documents that confirm your diagnosis.
Those who don't fancy walk-in clinics can opt to get medical marijuana prescribed online. For many medical cannabis patients, this is the most opportune route. As opposed to what happens in walk-ins – booking an appointment, getting a doctor's referral, filling out endless paperwork, waiting for approval, registering with licensed producers (LPs), and waiting for everything to clear – just fill an online canna clinic membership form, and get everything done in no time.
You will answer a few questions and consult with a medical expert from the comfort of your home. The whole process is built to suit your schedule and can be completed in within a few minutes.
Will a cannabis prescription get me stoned?
Medical marijuana research is still its early stages, but currently, the two major plant compounds that will have the biggest influence on you are CBD and THC. THC is the compound most linked to marijuana high – as well as some of the side effects, such as anxiety and paranoia, while CBD is associated with its anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory, and calming effects.
Different strains of marijuana contain varying proportions of these compounds along with other cannabinoids. However, the majority of licensed producers stock a CBD-only version with little or no psychoactive effects, which is normally used to treat anxiety, spasms, and inflammation.
Remember, every patient reacts differently to cannabis, depending on the strain used and their individual endocannabinoid system (ECS). However, the medical marijuana mantra has always been "start slow and go slow". Start with a small dose and gradually increase it as the body gets accustomed.
If you wish to get a medical cannabis prescription in Canada, you should have a medical history confirming your diagnosis. Additionally, do not forget to have a proof of residence (driver's license, ID, or passport).
There you are; if you have been looking for information on how to get a medical cannabis prescription, we hope this guide is all you need to get your first batch of medical marijuana in the nearest future.


There is no denying that Lagosians are huge on fitness and dieting. It is hard to go past a district without finding at least one gym or a health shop. While these gyms vary in size, type of equipment and staff strength, one thing they have in common are the kind of people that visit the facilities. If you have ever been to a Lagos gym, you probably know what we at Jumia Travel are talking about and if you haven't, here are the types of people at the gym you will usually see.
This person is just new to gyming and still has all the enthusiasm of a fresher. He or she is well equipped and has the complete outfit, from head bank to sneakers. Unfortunately, he still does not know how to use all the machines properly but would rather break an ankle on the treadmill than ask for help. Believe it or not but oftentimes you may find the most clueless people attempting to work out at the gym in Lagos.
Basically a creep, the " Irritating Uncle" is at the gym to look at chicks and seize opportunities to cup a feel. They are actually registered and have the right apparels on, but they would rather just stand around making small talk and offering to help unsuspecting ladies or just pick up chicks than actually work out.
This is the kind of girl who would probably say something like : "I don't sweat, I sparkle." She comes to the gym wearing the most attractive and tight gym clothes, as well as the kind of makeup you'd wear on your wedding day. Her hair is freshly done and her clothes are perfumed. She hydrates and uses her phones more than she actually works out.
You are absolutely guaranteed to find the "Selfie addicts" plastered to the nearest mirror having a photo-shoot with their smart phones. This person is not at the gym to work out; he is much more interested in making short videos for Instagram and snapchat and taking selfies than exerting themselves. They take poses and present a highly orchestrated image on social media.
The "look at me" gym show-offs This one has the perfect gym body and can easily maneuver any machine in the gym, but then, he likes to show-off. He refuses to work out while putting a shirt on, literally giving everyone else body dysmorphia. He also likes to share tips and offer remedies that have helped him in the past to tackle several issues that may come up.
