The Café with Five Faces
What the walls heard
Photos for the book
Reviews of the 2018-2019 book
Music by Jimez
A traveller, an observer and a coffee fanatic, Chaelli has, to use a turn of phrase, been around a bit!
He has travelled the world in his capacity as a trainer, working primarily in Europe, but also in North and South Africa, Central and South America, Australia and New Zealand, the Middle East, and Central and South-East Asia. During this time, he has developed a particular affection for, and affinity with, Beirut, Budapest, Cape Town and Granada, along with the much closer to home Hebden Bridge. Having spent many months in all of these places, he has named a room in his café after each of them, hence The Café with Five Faces.
His 'day job' involves a lot of observation and he has used these 'skills', also known as 'nosiness', to put together The Café with Five Faces, a book of the stories his café's walls have overheard and will continue to overhear.
Delving back into the annals of time, Chaelli studied History and Politics and maintains an active interest in the latter, being a vocal opponent of Brexit, a mistake he views as a form of national suicide.
These days, he is studying for a Diploma in Coffee Skills and has so far taken courses in Beirut, London, Cape Town, Bogotá and Villa de Leyva (Colombia).
He has been a writer for a long time, starting with children's adventure stories written when barely a teen, through to materials and courses for English language teachers, and an as yet unpublished travelogue.
The author on a train in Italy, in search of coffee – what else?

Q: PostgreSQL - WSL : won't init i'm currently developping a Django server where i need a database, Sqlite3 don't seem to handle well my need so i'm trying to use PostgreSQL instead. I'm devellopping on Windows but the server will run on a Linux system once development is done, so i'm trying to use WSL to fit the expected result.
wsl -l -v
NAME            STATE           VERSION
Ubuntu-22.04    Running         1

I also updated to WSL2, same issue.
My issue is that i can't start the database :
# sudo service postgresql start
No PostgreSQL clusters exist; see "man pg_createcluster"

What i've done so far :
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib

// it s installed
> psql --version
psql (PostgreSQL) 14.2 (Ubuntu 14.2-1ubuntu1)

// no service currently running
> ps aux| grep postgres
root       583  0.0  0.0  15044  1280 tty3     S    08:42   0:00 grep --color=auto postgres

// no cluster ?!?
> sudo service postgresql start
No PostgreSQL clusters exist; see "man pg_createcluster"

// indeed no cluster are created by default
> pg_lsclusters
Ver Cluster Port Status Owner Data directory Log file

// but i can t create one
> pg_createcluster 14.2 main
Error: no initdb program for version 14.2 found

> sudo pg_createcluster 14 main
Creating new PostgreSQL cluster 14/main ...

I also tried : this stackoverflow link
> sudo service --status-all
// ...

// ...

> sudo ps aux | grep postgres
root       769  0.0  0.0  15044  1284 tty3     S    08:48   0:00 grep --color=auto postgres

I didn't really understand this link : Change some config file that i can't find
And this one that only proposed to reformat my disk.. Link

A: Following Mark's Link i was able to find a solution.

*

*It seems that WSL2 is required

*I tried 2 wsl distro :

*

*Ubuntu-22.04 -> Didn't work even with the guide, maybe it would work on a fresh install.

*Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS -> fresh install worked

# Create the file repository configuration:
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt $(lsb_release -cs)-pgdg main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list'

# Import the repository signing key:
wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add -

# Update the package lists:
sudo apt-get update

# Install the latest version of PostgreSQL.
# If you want a specific version, use 'postgresql-12' or similar instead of 'postgresql':
sudo apt-get -y install postgresql postgresql-contrib

The Conservatives are to spend £250,000 to help more working-class Tories become MPs at the next election in five years' time.
Lord Feldman, the party's chairman, will announce the new means-tested bursary scheme to support Conservative parliamentary candidates at the opening of the Tory conference in Manchester.
The programme is intended to give more opportunities to Tory supporting candidates who would otherwise be unable to afford to give the time to campaigning to win a seat in 2020.
The bursaries will be allocated to candidates in marginal seats to support those who need to stop full time work in order to focus on their campaigns.
Lord Feldman, who has been a close friend of David Cameron's since their university days at Oxford, will declare widening the opportunities for people from all backgrounds to enter politics to be his "personal passion".
Lord Feldman's announcement marks a new step in his development from a back-room fundraiser to a frontline politician, as the party chairman in charge of the conference and Tory headquarters in Westminster.
The move will also be seen as an attempt by the Conservatives to shed their image as the party of the rich. Mr Cameron's political opponents have sought to portray him as a wealthy, Eton and Oxford-educated millionaire who is "out of touch" with ordinary families.
In recent years, the Prime Minister has taken care to promote more working-class Tory MPs and has in the past highlighted how his Cabinet includes Sajid Javid, the state-educated son of a Pakistani bus driver, and Patrick McLoughlin, the Transport Secretary, who is a former miner.
Addressing delegates on the first day of the conference, Lord Feldman will say that money should not stop committed Tories from trying to get elected.
The money for the bursary comes from the Conservative Foundation, an endowment fund launched six years ago by Baroness Thatcher and Sir John Major to give the party a stronger financial base for the future.
The £250,000 that has been pledged for the next five years is expected to be matched or increased in future parliaments.
In his conference speech, Lord Feldman will say: "This is a scheme for providing grants of money to help candidates on low incomes in marginal seats to support themselves and their families.
Of the 73 Conservative MPs who were elected to the Commons for the first time in May, 48 per cent were privately educated, while 34 per cent attended either Oxford or Cambridge.
A significant proportion also had a background studying law or working in local government, as councillors, or as special advisers for the government in Westminster.
However, the party has made some progress in recruiting candidates from more diverse backgrounds. One in 10 of the newly elected Tory MPs comes from an ethnic minority background and 38 per cent are women.
Tory sources said that standing for parliament was becoming "a full time job", especially in marginal seats where rival parties are campaigning intensively in the months leading up to polling day.
The bursary scheme will help support candidates working in lower paid jobs to give up work or work part time for the run in to the election.
At the election in May, Scott Mann, who left school aged 16 and worked as a postman, was elected as the Conservative MP for North Cornwall. Maria Caufield, who was elected MP for Lewes, grew up on a council estate in south London and worked as a nurse specialising in cancer research.
She said: "Standing as a candidate while still working as a nurse did take a financial toll. A bursary scheme would not only be a great way to support candidates who face financial barriers - but it sends a clear message that the Conservative party want the brightest and best candidates to stand for them, no matter what their background or financial situation."


When you think 'American food', burgers and hot dogs instantly come to mind. But it doesn't stop there; Americans are partial to a great BBQ and have also integrated many European styles of cuisine since the 1940's.
If you have a hunger for a some deep fried chicken, buffalo wings, macaroni cheese or just a great big steak, you'll be able to find something to satisfy your tastes by looking through our 'American' food listing in Berlin. Burgers are probably the most popular American style restaurant here and most of them will knock your socks off.

This morning we covered the news that Toronto photo-sharing startup 500px has raised a $525K Series A round. Comparisons to Flickr has gotten both photographers and investors excited about 500px but we think we've already found Toronto's next up-and-coming photo startup – Piccsy.
If you haven't heard of Piccsy yet, you likely will soon. The startup is an invite-only image discovery/sharing community site that currently sees over two million visitors per month.
How does that compare to 500px?
Last month 500px slotted in the #3 spot on the Techvibes Toronto Startup Index. Based on today's Alexa.com numbers Piccsy will premier in the #4 spot on the June Startup Index next week.
To date Piccsy has been under-the-radar but mostly because they have been below the equator. You see, Piccsy was the first Canadian company to take advantage of Start-Up Chile and spent 6 months in Santiago.
Start-Up Chile is a program that seeks to attract foreign, high-potential entrepreneurs to Chile to bootstrap their businesses with the end goal of converting Chile into an entrepreneurial hub. In 2010, the program brought 23 teams from around the world, providing them a $40,000 subsidy to participate for six months, and a temporary 1-year visa to develop their projects.
Piccsy founder Daniel Eckler wrote a blog post on Business Insider sharing his Chilean experience:
Piccsy arrived in Chile in late November as the Southern Hemisphere was transitioning from spring into summer, a welcome change as Toronto, our home, was just descending into four long months of winter. Within a week of our arrival, the Start-Up Chile team had arranged all of our necessary documents with the government, a bank account, and a furnished apartment: everything we needed to feel settled and get started working.
My morning ritual has taken a new twist in this part of the world, since checking the weather on my laptop reveals both the warm sunny day I am to encounter in Santiago, and the sub-zero city I left behind in Canada. Though in many ways Santiago is truly a world away from my home, I feel lucky to be a part of its emergence as a player on the global technology scene, watching it become connected to a world increasingly at its door.
Intrigued about Piccsy? They'll be re-launching this summer and are looking for a full-time engineer to lead the Piccsy team as they build out the product. The ideal candidate is an experienced developer/leader who is self-motivated, dedicated, entrepreneurial, multi-faceted, and interested in helping to shape the direction of a growing product and community over the next few years.
Intrigued about Chile? 2010 acted as a pilot phase and Start-Up Chile has a goal of supporting 300 high-potential entrepreneurs in 2011. The application process is open throughout the year with three intakes, so apply now.

Australia's third busiest airport after the two leading airports in Sydney and Melbourne, the Brisbane Airport, is the only passenger airport serving in the Queensland region. Home to over 32 international airlines and 46 domestic carriers, the Brisbane Airport is one of the busiest air routes for the Asia-Pacific region. Spread over 970 acres and handling 17.5 million passengers per year, the Brisbane International Airport is only 13 km away from the centre of city.
In case you plan to travel to Australia and will arrive in the Queensland region by plane, then here is what you should know about the Brisbane Airport.
The main air travel route for Queensland, the Brisbane Airport is a hub for both international and domestic carriers. The airport doesn't enforce any curfew rules. It operates around the clock to receive millions of passengers arriving at departing via the international and domestic terminals. The Brisbane Airport has three terminals, all of which have been modified to cater for the Airbus A380.
The airport was recently renovated. Nowadays, getting to and fro the International, Domestic and Cargo terminals can be done via an inter-terminal train service. The trains are scheduled to depart from each of the terminals once every 15 minutes, so you don't have to worry about missing a flight.
As previously mentioned, the Brisbane Airport was given a facelift recently. Since 2008, the International terminal includes a modern check-in and arrival facilities, a brand new multi-tier parking lot, a few additional luggage carousels and in excess of 50 retailers. First-time travellers should check out the Visitor Information Service located at Arrivals L2 and learn more about how to book accommodations, bus or train tickets. Also, they should inquire about how to gain entry to the theme parks across Queensland.
If you're in the mood for some shopping while waiting for your flight, then you might want to know that the specialty retailer stores can be found on level 3 of the International terminal. In case you're taking a domestic flight, then note that most shops are situated on level 2.
Passengers who aren'™t that passionate about shopping can pass the time by logging into the Optus Wireless Connect network. Regardless of whether you just want to browse the net or prepare for a business meeting, the airport provide you with top-of-the-line lounge facilities that include TV, wireless internet, desks and comfortable sofas. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the major retail areas in the Brisbane Airport, but do remember that you have a one-hour limit.
Unlike Sydney Airport, the Brisbane Airport doesn't have restricted hours associated with the departure and arrival of flights. In case you need to catch a plane early the next day, it is highly recommended to make reservations at the only hotel located near the airport ahead of time.
The Novotel Brisbane Airport hotel is located in the Airport Village and offers on-site accommodations as well as shuttle services to and from the terminals. If you're travelling to Queensland for business purposes, then the hotel also includes a modern conference centre with top notch equipment and amenities for all your company's needs. If spending the night at the closest hotel to the airport is not an option, don't fret. There are numerous other hotels and hostels with similar facilities and amenities nearby.
There are numerous bistros and cafes throughout the Brisbane Airport, so don't worry if you forgot or couldn't pack some snacks for your trip. While the Domestic terminal allows passengers to grab a quick bite to eat in the various snack bars and cafes, those interested in having a certain alcoholic beverage should head to the International Terminal. Then again, if you're in the mood for a more sophisticated meal and time allows you, it is best to head down to the Airport Village and check out the restaurants there. The Airport Village is just a 10-minute ride away from the airport.
If you're in a hurry to get to Brisbane and forgot to make previous arrangements, then taking a taxi into town is your best bet. However, taxi services are relatively expensive, both compared to other transportation means and the fare practices in other major Australian cities.
Brisbane has a public transportation system and passengers who are not in a hurry should feel free to give it a try. You can find regular buses and trains from various locations in the airport. The main limitation is that if you have luggage, using public transport can be a headache.
In case this is your first time travelling to Australia or if you want convenience and comfort for your transportation, then you should make the most out of your travel experience and book an airport transfer service. Sedans, minibuses and coaches are common vehicles used for airport transfers. Not only will you travel comfortably and in style, but you can also be sure to arrive at your destination in a timely manner.

Saving our planet: 10 good news conservation stories from 2016
January 6, 2017 | by Dan Kraus
The choices we make about our planet in the next decade are going to impact nature and the well-being of people for generations to come. Both nature and human well-being face some big challenges. Biodiversity continues to be threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation, invasive species and climate change. The number of species assessed as threatened by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) now tops 24,000, and has more than doubled in the last 20 years. We have lost 10 per cent of the planet's wilderness areas in the last 25 years, and 75 per cent of the Earth's surface is experiencing measurable impacts from human activities.
The good news is that these challenges all have solutions we can put into action. Some can be implemented relatively quickly, such as increasing the number of protected areas. Others, such as climate change and invasive species, need a long-term commitment. While the challenges are large and complex, they are not insurmountable.
Here are 10 stories from 2016, from Canada and around the world, that show how communities, governments and organizations are providing solutions that are reversing the loss of biodiversity and the ecological services that nature provides. These solutions not only benefit us now, but are building the framework for true ecological sustainability, and redefining the relationship between people and nature.
1. Conserving the world's largest temperate rainforest
In 2016, the Province of British Columbia, First Nations, environmental groups and the forest industry announced increased protection of the 64,000-square-kilometre Great Bear Rainforest along BC's coast. This historic agreement will protect 85 per cent of the forest from commercial logging. The agreement will also protect globally significant biodiversity; one-quarter of all of the remaining coastal temperate rainforests in the world are in BC. Conservation of this region will also protect 2,500 salmon runs, trees that reach 90 metres in height and the rare, white Kermode black bear, also known as the spirit bear.

2. Big steps for global marine conservation
The protection of the world's oceans is one of the key actions needed to conserve biodiversity and ensure food security for more than one billion people. There is now overwhelming evidence that Marine Protected Areas not only help protect biodiversity, but also fish stocks.
In 2016, the Ross Sea in Antarctica became the world's largest Marine Protected Area at 1.55 million square kilometres, with more than 80 per cent of the reserve under the strictest form of marine protection. In addition, at the IUCN World Conservation Congress, Motion 53, which agrees to a new target of protecting 30 per cent of the world's oceans by 2030, was passed.
3. Canada starting to make progress in Marine Protected Areas
Canada has not been an early adopter of Marine Protected Areas, but with a goal of protecting 10 per cent of its marine and coastal areas by 2020, there has been some important progress in designating key sites. In 2016, the 2,400-square-kilometre Anguniaqvia Niqiqyuam Marine Protected Area in the Beaufort Sea was established and several new proposed sites have been announced, including BC's Scott Island and 4,400 square kilometres in the St. Anns Banks off Nova Scotia.
4. Edging closer to protecting 17 per cent of land and inland water areas
Canada is one of more than 175 countries that have agreed that the world needs at least 17 per cent of its land and inland waters protected by 2020. Canada's progress has been steady, increasing from 9.6 per cent in 2010 to 10.6 per cent at the end of 2015. Many other nations, including France, Ecuador and China, have already met or exceeded the goal. Globally, 14.7 per cent of land and inland waters has been protected, and if current trends continue, the 17 per cent milestone should be reached.

5. Pandas and plovers: proof we can save endangered species
One of the best measures of conservation is the status of species. Globally, there are more than 24,000 species that are on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. In Canada, the number of species assessed in risk categories by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada has grown by over 200 in the last decade. Identifying species that are at greatest risk of extinction can lead to action.
In 2016, the giant panda was down-listed from endangered to vulnerable by the IUCN. The population increase has resulted from habitat protection and a successful captive breeding program.
Piping plover (Photo by Ian Sadler)
Here in Canada, the past year saw the continued recovery of the endangered piping plover to its historic nesting sites in Manitoba and on Lake Ontario; proof that habitat protection and population management can increase populations of rare species.
6. Finding ways for people and large carnivores to coexist
In a world where 75 per cent of the land area is experiencing human pressures, one of the biggest challenges we have is maintaining habitat for animals that need large spaces to survive. This usually requires protecting large areas of habitat and making sure these areas are connected with wildlife corridors, and also providing local communities with support so that they can coexist with large animals.
With habitat protection, community support and, in some cases, active reintroduction, parts of the world are seeing a "rewilding," with the return of large animals. From black bears in the U.S. southwest, to wolves in western Europe and California, to the Persian leopard in the Caucasus region, this year we witnessed a number of examples of how conservation efforts can restore populations of large carnivores.
7. Canadian sustainability goals
This year, Canada released the 2016-2019 Federal Sustainable Development Strategy, which presents 13 goals that are a Canadian reflection of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The strategy includes goals related to climate change, oceans, freshwater, wildlife and connecting Canadians with nature, and are supported by new reporting on environmental indicators. Clear, accessible indicators on conservation and the state of nature are critical for building public understanding and support of key issues, and measuring our progress.
8. Climate change agreements
Just as issues such as acid rain or the hole in the ozone layer required multilateral agreements, climate change is going to need an unparalleled level of cooperation, in addition to individual commitments, to solve this global issue.
In 2016, Canada signed the Paris Agreement and developed a pan-Canadian agreement on climate change. In addition to addressing the need to reduce emissions, the agreement also recognizes the importance of protecting wetlands, forests and grasslands as natural carbon sinks.

Consensus on climate change action is broad in Canada. In 2016, leaders from industry, conservation organizations (including the Nature Conservancy of Canada) and other members of the Smart Prosperity coalition showed their support for continued action on climate change and the transition to a low carbon economy.
9. Canada's largest ecosystem restoration project gets approved
Lake Ontario is the only Great Lake whose water level is controlled by dams. Since 1960, Lake Ontario and its outflow have been regulated by the Moses-Saunders dam near Cornwall, Ontario. This dam generates large amounts of hydro power, but unfortunately has changed the annual and long-term water-level cycles of the lake, impacting its wetlands and other coastal habitats.
The Lake Ontario Biodiversity Conservation Strategy that was developed by the Nature Conservancy of Canada and partners in 2009 identified this as one of the most urgent threats to the lake's species and habitats. In 2016, Canada and the U.S. agreed to adopt Plan 2014, which aims to restore the natural flows and water levels of Lake Ontario and the upper St. Lawrence River. This will restore more than 64,200 acres (26,000 hectares) of coastal wetlands and increase available habitat for several species at risk.
10. Guidelines to identifying Key Biodiversity Areas
For conservation to be effective, there needs to be guidance on the key areas and actions for investment. In 2016, the IUCN released guidelines to identify Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs). KBAs provide a common global framework to identify important places for nature, based on: threatened species and ecosystems, geographically restricted biodiversity, ecological integrity, important biological processes and irreplaceability.
The World Database on Key Biodiversity Areas was also launched to house and manage this information. For Canada, many Important Bird Areas that have high concentrations of migratory birds have been added to this database, but other important areas still need to be assessed and added.
KBAs will provide an important tool to guide conservation and sustainable development in Canada and around the world.

Obesity and being overweight are at present at levels unlike ever before observed in America, with over a hundred and 50 million men and women fulfilling the clinical classification. With the cost of health care climbing every day and the current economic climate regressing just as speedily, just a handful of us can manage the financial burden of remaining overweight. In many instances, men and women try out numerous diet and exercise methods without too much success losing weight. Of the left over, many more are wasting money combating their own health problems attributable to their being overweight, such as osteoarthritis, depression, and high blood pressure. Controlling obesity with these ineffective weight-loss systems, prescription drugs, and health copays can be irritating and pricey. Discovering the upperhand in the war to shed weight is not. Dr. Albert Simeons in the 1950s started a diet plan that is fast, powerful and inexpensive, called the HCG diet, which thus far has helped millions of men and women lose weight and keep it off for good. A hormone that naturally occurs in the brain, HCG is an abbreviation for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. Chemical messengers, famously recognized as hormones, modify your body's natural performance. Improvements in metabolic function and also a reduction in hunger are two of the advantages connected with increased HCG levels. Research with HCG, carried out by Dr. Simeons, has shown that those getting the hormone habitually sustained double digit weight loss in the very first week alone. Taking this information from his research, he moreover discovered that those consuming HCG with a reduced calorie diet program lost considerably more excess weight than with a diet alone. Painful and expensive intramuscular injections were the principal approach of giving the HCG diet plan initially joined with this reduced calorie diet plan, as Dr. Simeons at the time was aware of no other approach of delivery. Sublingual solutions of administration are currently attainable commercially in an effort to eliminate this pain and cost. Maintaining the prescription potency found in injections, these HCG drops deliver a far more convenient and affordable form. Adequate to offer Simeons amazing weight loss results, HCG alone gives simple performance. The results with HCG, on the other hand, improve more than two fold when joined with even moderate exercise and / or a lower calorie diet plan than dieting by itself, confirming Simeons further research. The good results of the HCG diet plan hinges on its major feature of optimization. The human body�s food processing mechanisms, functioning in a similar fashion in both women and men, are improved by HCG allowing the person�s perfect weight to be achieved. This two-fold system initially modifies the brain�s hunger signals, which means those ingesting HCG regularly eat less often and consume fewer calories as they experience hunger to a lesser degree. Next, with the HCG diet the dieters metabolism is enhanced appreciably additionally, burning up calories both quicker and more efficiently. After food calories are consumed, the human body begins consuming fat for energy. In as quick of a period as just a couple of days, users often experience on going weightloss unlike they have ever experienced. The significant physical emotional and monetary costs for the overweight has grown to levels unfathomed years ago. Spending even one more day risking incapacitating diseases like depression, diabetes or arthritis would be foolish. Do not waste time or money on expensive weight loss supplements and systems that simply do not deliver results. Taking a single step toward legitimate weight-loss can be accomplished with HCG. Conserving both time and money losing weight is as easy as choosing HCG.

Q: Unexpected npm module install script behaviour I'm getting some rather unexpected behaviour when installing (a private) dependency.
For questions sake lets assume I have two packages:
{
  "name": "Package_A",
   ....
  "dependencies": {
    "grunt": "~0.4.2",
    "Package_B": ""
  }
}

And
{
  "name": "Package_B",
  "scripts": {
    "install": "grunt"
  },
   ....
  "dependencies": {
    "grunt": "~0.4.2",
    "grunt-contrib-clean": "~0.5.0"
  }
}

Now when I run npm install on (a fresh) Package_A, Package_B installs with grunt-contrib-clean as a dependency and runs grunt (which uses clean). It all works fine.
Now as soon as I add grunt-contrib-clean to Package_A dependencies and run install (fresh copy again) fails.
the npm install script runs grunt, and grunt cannot find grunt-contrib-clean:

Local Npm module "grunt-contrib-clean" not found. Is it installed?

I'm not really sure where to go from here. I was wondering if I'm having a similar issue to NPM doesn't install module dependencies. But I don't know enough about npm or grunt to tell.

A: Got it!
Changing the script from install to prepublish works
 "scripts": {
    "prepublish": "grunt package"
  },

Must be something to do with the order of operations when installing. Quirky.

Damn it
(Update)
Npm doesn't run prepublish when installing from a git repo (when it probably should).

Founders Telecom Blog – Plantronics Headset Superstore » Are you trying to connect a headset to your Packet8 6753i, 6755i or 6757i phone?
There's a lot of confusion both on the part of Packet8 (since they don't actually manufacture the phones themselves) and on the part of Plantronics regarding the headset port on the Packet8 phone model 6753i, 6755i and 6767i. If you look these models up on the Plantronics compatibility guide they tell you to buy an H-series headset as well as an M22 amplifier. In reality, you do not need the amplifier.
Press OPTIONS then PREFERENCES then SET AUDIO then AUDIO MODE then choose HEADSET or choose HEADSET/SPEAKERPHONE if you want to be able to toggle back and forth between your headset and the speakerphone.
I'm trying to make my H101N headset work with my Packet8 / Aastra 6755i phone.
So far, I have tried both a direct connection to the phone via an A10 Direct Connect Cable, and a connection via a MX10 amplifier. (Both are supported configurations per your web site, per Plantronics site, and per Plantronics support).
The headset works perfectly while dialing: no hum or noise, and perfectly clear DTMF tones.
However, once the call is connected a loud low-frequency hum is present both on the headset and for the remote party.
I have tried relocating the phone and power supply away from anything that could be causing interference, and gone through a number of additional diagnostic steps.
As a reseller of this combination, do you know if this is typical? Is a different headset better?
My phone doesn't work I don't know where to get it's cable from?


Fish and Chips? With mushy Peas??? Yes please!!
Harvey's Fishette is a fast food style café with a difference!!! Despite Mombasa's tropical climate and abundance of local seafood dishes this simple café is a trusted haunt for true British style Fish and Chips!!! It is a small family owned café and you can be guaranteed personal service by the owners and the every smiling waiters.
The café serves a range of yummy fast food. From simply delicious fish and chips, grilled fillets or Fish Tikka, to a variety of burgers, prawn curry with chappati, kebabs and your choice of egg/ kheema or fish Chapatti. Also, one of the only places in Mombasa where you will find crunchy, delicious fish samosa!!!
An assorted range of vegetarian dishes are also on the menu with the likes of crispy mouth-watering paneer chapatti, samosa, tender paneer tikka and a selection of everyone's favorite comfort food, chips! All can be ordered with your choice of Naan and Salad.
Best fish and chips around... Worth a pop-in anytime while down at the coast.


The Corner Cafe is one of those nice neighborhood breakfast places where it's almost always busy, but not frantic. The service is pleasant and quick, and the acoustics are good enough that you can chat comfortably despite all the activity in the room.
The breakfast menu is fairly basic, supplemented by a half-dozen daily specials. The lunch menu is a bit more interesting, partly because it sometimes draws inspiration from breakfast – such as chicken waffle sandwiches or an Eggs Benedict burger.
What makes The Corner Cafe a nice place to meet for business or brunch is that it's easy to get to (even using back roads during the busy summer months) and that the food is consistently good.
Two details come to mind from a visit last Sunday: the home fries were excellent – fresh, tender potatoes, seasoned with herbs de provence and lightly fried. So many places serve a deep-fried version with a thick crust that freshly cooked potatoes are a real treat.
The other thing had to do with the eggs. I often order something with poached eggs because it's a style I don't bother fussing with at home. But I like them cooked medium-hard so the yolks are not runny but are still a little softer at the center. It requires accurate timing. Cooks at The Corner Cafe have managed it both times that I visited on a busy Sunday morning, which I think speaks to the way the kitchen is run.
On my last visit, I had those poached eggs in Eggs Benedict, which came on a split English muffin toasted golden brown. The hollandaise sauce was fine but could have used a little more citrus to offset the richness and pick up the flavor.
When I was there this summer with friends, they both had the veggie scramble – scrambled eggs with sauteed vegetables. Basic, but good and very moist.
The portions were large, both in the scramble and in the short stack of blueberry pancakes we ordered to try. The pancakes were the size of dinner plates and, even sharing, we barely made a dent. The pancakes were flavorful but fairly thick, coarse and a bit dry.
The cafe-made muffins I ordered to take to a friend's house, on the other hand, were moist, rich and much appreciated. I figured they were good because they were nearly sold out with 90 minutes before the cafe closed.

USA: Santa Barbara Authorizes 6-Month Jail Time Or $1,000 Fine For Restaurant Employees Who Hand Out Plastic Straws To Customers. Plastic Stirrers And Plastic Drug Needles Okay.
Santa Barbara Authorizes Jail Time for Handing Out Straws https://t.co/IhcnHCH313 via @KatTimpf pic.twitter.com/vW0mcJjQwF

The National Review
Santa Barbara Authorizes Jail Time for Handing Out Straws
written by Katherine Timpf
The city of Santa Barbara has passed an ordinance that will allow restaurant employees to be punished with up to six months of jail time or a $1,000 fine after a second offense of giving plastic straws to their customers.
The bill was passed unanimously last Tuesday, and covers bars, restaurants, and other food-service businesses. Establishments will still be allowed to hand out plastic stirrers, but only if customers request them.
Santa Barbara's ordinance "is likely the most severe straw ban in the country," according to Reason, but it's far from the only straw ban. Seattle banned plastic straws earlier this month, mandating a a $250 fine for violators. Santa Barbara, however, has gone much further than Seattle — even aside from the harsher punishments its law imposes. Santa Barbara has banned not only plastic straws, but also compostable straws. Oh, and each individual straw counts as a separate infraction, meaning that if someone got busted handing out straws to a table of four people, he or she could end up facing years behind bars.
Now, I'm a reasonable person. I may be a libertarian, but I'm glad that we live in a society with laws. For example: I am glad that if a person, say, murders another person, then that murderer has to go to prison. That seems totally fair to me. But six months in jail for handing a little piece of plastic to another person? I feel like you'd have to be bananas to think that's even close to fair.
This is especially true when you consider just how small an impact these straw bans are going to have on the environment. As Reason notes, straws represent only 0.02 percent of the amount of plastic waste that is estimated to go into the ocean each year. What's more, the United States is responsible for only about 1 percent of the total amount of plastic waste that's in the ocean overall. All things considered, this new ordinance isn't going to be making a real dent in the problem it's intended to solve — but it could create some harm. As Reason explains, straw bans could end up having a negative impact on disabled people who cannot drink without them.
Still, plastic-straw bans are becoming more popular. There are efforts to ban them in New York City, San Francisco, Portland, and Washington, D.C. Colleges nationwide — from Knox College in Illinois to the University of Portland to Duke University — have already banned them.
As I've written in the past, I have absolutely no problem with individual businesses making the decision to stop using plastic straws. But getting the government involved in what people choose to drink liquids out of seems like a bit of a stretch, and sending people to jail over it is just plain asinine.
Correction: Santa Barbara's plastic-straw ban imposes criminal penalties after the second offense.
Now the rest of America knows the INSANITY we live with here in SB. Homeless everywhere, defecating on the streets, 39 shuttered business on our State St in 8 city blocks, and we have our @SBCity Council arresting restaurants or individuals for hanging out straws....pure Insanity

The black market straw business will be booming soon

There are handicapped people with swallowing issues that depend on straws to drink fluids! This is insane!

Ahhh I can see it now... the state will sell licenses to use straws, for medical reasons. lol

So heroin needles= OK, plastic straws= felony.

The emergence of such international finance capital is itself the outcome of the process of centralization of capital, which had in an earlier period, as Lenin had argued, brought finance capital, or a coalescence of banking and industrial capital under the control of a financial oligarchy, into a position of hegemony within each advanced country; centralization of capital today however has proceeded much further since Lenin's time, creating this new entity called international finance capital and bringing it into a position of hegemony.
Once an economy has got sucked into the vortex of globalized financial flows, its State willy-nilly has to bow to the caprices of international finance capital and pursue policies favoured by it. This fact has a number of implications; and these implications constitute the salient features of neo-liberal capitalism.
First, neo-liberal capitalism is marked, unlike capitalism in the past, by a re-location of activities by metropolitan capital from the advanced to the underdeveloped world, to take advantage of the low wages prevailing in the latter, for producing for the world market.
Second, it alters the character of the State everywhere, so that the State, instead of apparently standing above classes and defending the interests of all, including even the oppressed classes, despite the pursuit of capitalist development, becomes more openly and directly linked to the interests of the corporate-financial oligarchy which in turn is connected to international finance capital. This means inter alia a withdrawal of State support from traditional petty production and peasant agriculture, and hence the resumption of a process of primitive accumulation of capital reminiscent of the earlier colonial era.
Third, State intervention in "demand management" which had been the hall-mark of post-war capitalism during its so-called "Golden Age", but which had always been opposed by finance capital as it undermines the social legitimacy of the capitalist class, especially of the financial class, gets eschewed under pressure from globalized finance. "Fiscal responsibility" legislation is passed in country after country to ensure that State efforts to increase employment and activity in the economy take the form of providing "incentives" to capital rather than undertaking direct expenditure itself. This however means in effect that the growth of the system can no longer be stimulated by the State (since the capitalists simply pocket all subsidies and transfers that come to them from the State as "incentives" without undertaking any additional investment). Growth comes to depend essentially upon the formation of asset-price "bubbles" (apart from credit-financed consumer spending, which however has very strict limits).
These features of neo-liberal capitalism in turn have important consequences. On the one hand, even when the system grows, this growth itself is accompanied by an extreme widening of income and wealth inequalities within countries. The workers in the advanced countries are unable to raise their wages because in a world with capital mobility they compete in effect against the massive third world labour reserves. Even the workers in countries into which the outsourcing of activities occurs are unable to raise their wages because the labour reserves in these countries, far from getting exhausted on account of such outsourcing, actually increase in relative size owing to the dispossession of traditional petty producers and peasants. Hence the vector of real wages across countries, both developed and underdeveloped, does not increase over time even though the vector of labour productivity increases. This dispossession of peasants and petty producers and the decimation of their economies even causes, in third world countries, an absolute increase in the level of malnutrition and material deprivation.
While all this occurs when neo-liberal capitalism actually experiences growth, it cannot even experience sustained growth. Its growth process grinds to a halt for the following reason. The faster growth of labour productivity relative to wages everywhere leads to an increase in the relative size of the surplus in the world economy, which creates a tendency towards over-production (since the ratio of consumption to income is greater out of wages than out of surplus); and the only factor within a regime of neo-liberal capitalism which can offset this tendency, namely booms caused by asset-price bubbles, becomes inoperative when these bubbles collapse, as they inevitably must.
The crisis arising from this source can be fairly protracted, since new bubbles cannot be made to order. And when such crises occur, the conditions of the working population become even more pitiable than had been the case when growth was occurring. The capitalist world economy today is in the midst of such a protracted crisis, with no end to it in sight. And even if perchance there is some recovery through the formation of a new bubble, this recovery too will be an evanescent one, lasting only until the collapse of the new bubble.
It is this protracted crisis in which neo-liberal capitalism is sunk that has produced the current world-wide upsurge of fascism. Since globalization of capital and the associated process of privatization of Public Sector enterprises, weakens the trade union movement, and in general the immediate striking power of the working class, fascist movements based on "supremacism" of one kind or another, and appealing to unreason, tend to come up in such periods. They have no agenda for overcoming crisis other than blaming and victimizing "the hated other" and projecting a "messiah" who would miraculously cure society of all the ills that afflict it.
These movements appeal above all to the petty bourgeoisie, but in periods of extreme weakness of the proletarian movement they may even enlist the support of certain segments of workers. But these movements are invariably picked up, promoted, and supported by the corporate-financial oligarchy to thwart even any potential challenge from the working people to its hegemony. Indeed they grow in strength and move centre-stage only when they have obtained to an extent the backing of the corporate-financial oligarchy. This alliance between the corporate-financial magnates and the fascist "upstarts" (to use Kalecki's expression) is in different stages of formation in different countries of the world at present. But this threat of fascism is looming large everywhere; and even where the fascists do not succeed in coming to power, let alone push countries towards full-fledged fascist States, they nonetheless greatly vitiate the foundations of any democratic polity by the poisonous atmosphere they create.
There is however a basic difference between contemporary fascism and the fascism of the 1930s. The finance capital that had promoted fascism in the 1930s was nation-based finance capital that had been engaged in bitter inter-imperialist rivalry and had glorified the "nation" as its ideological prop in this rivalry. Contemporary fascism has emerged within the hegemony of international finance capital, and of muted inter-imperialist rivalry because of this very hegemony (since globalized capital does not want its cross-country flows impeded by a world broken up by rival powers into different "economic territories"); and it has no desire to challenge this hegemony. Its "nationalism" therefore lacks any material substance.
For the same reason however it can do little to stem the crisis of no-liberal capitalism, even though it comes to power, wherever it does, by promising to tackle this crisis. In Germany in 1933 and in Japan in 1931, fascism had actually tackled the crisis in its own way. Rearmament had actually got these economies out of the Depression, so that there was a brief period, before the war extracted its excruciating costs, when the boom caused by militarization had enlarged the support-base of the fascists. But in contemporary conditions, fascist governments can do little to overcome the crisis.
To increase demand, such governments, even if they engage in larger military spending, will have to finance such spending either by a fiscal deficit or by taxing capitalists (since government expenditure financed by taxing workers, who spend their wages anyway, does not lead to any net increase in demand). Both these ways of financing government expenditure however are anathema for international finance capital. Contemporary fascism therefore is singularly incapable of resolving the capitalist crisis even by fascist methods.
Neo-liberal capitalism therefore has reached a cul-de-sac. Traditional establishment Parties cannot think beyond neo-liberalism and are deeply implicated in the policies that have generated the crisis anyway; and many of them, like Hilary Clinton in the U.S.A., do not even take cognizance of the crisis, thinking that the economy would revive on its own from this minor blip even within the framework of neo-liberalism. The fascist forces on the other hand have neither any explicit programme for overcoming the crisis, nor even any implicit agenda that could emerge as a fall-out of their penchant for military spending. Thus neither Trump, nor Marine Le Pen, nor UKIP, nor any of the other fascist elements currently in public focus have any economic programme for overcoming the crisis.
Trump had talked of protectionism as a way out of the crisis for the U.S. But mere protectionism, without enlarging the domestic market through larger government expenditure financed by a deficit or by taxes on capitalists, can generate larger employment only if other countries do not retaliate. If they do retaliate, then a competitive "beggar-my-neighbour" policy ensues which only serves to aggravate the world capitalist crisis, and worsen the condition of all the countries. Hence Trump's protectionism is not going to increase employment in the U.S. in the absence of an expansionary fiscal policy.
But far from pursuing an expansionary fiscal policy, Trump is proposing measures that will have a contractionary effect. Since he is planning to give tax-concessions to the corporate sector, and balancing it with cuts in government welfare expenditure meant for the poor, this will only aggravate the crisis in the U.S., because aggregate demand will be reduced by these fiscal measures. (The corporate sector which saves a large part of its post-tax income will simply save its tax- concessions and hence not increase demand, while lower government welfare expenditure will actually reduce demand).
Within the regime of hegemony of globalized finance capital therefore there is no solution to the capitalist crisis. The only possible solution, which any single country can attempt, is for its State to play an active role; and for that to happen the State must shed its character of a neo-liberal State.
It can do so only if the economy is taken out of the vortex of global capital flows, through capital controls, and also, to the extent necessary, trade controls; that is, if the economy delinks itself from globalization. Since the corporate-financial oligarchy which is itself integrated with international finance capital will not countenance this, only a State with an alternative class basis will be able to effect such a change, a State that is based on the support of the working people. And when the working people effect such a change, they will not rest content merely with reviving a capitalist economy, but will rather proceed to build an alternative economy altogether, an economy that will make a transition to socialism. Hence the cul-de-sac in which neo-liberal capitalism finds itself can be broken through; but such a break-through will lead to a transcendence of capitalism itself.
To be sure, as Lenin had said, there is no such thing as an absolutely hopeless situation for capitalism. Even if capitalism itself is unable to break out of the cul-de-sac, it will make every possible effort to prevent the working people from organizing themselves to effect a change in the situation. It will unleash every skullduggery known to fascism towards this end. It will make every effort to push mankind towards barbarism in order to prevent its moving ahead towards socialism. The outcome ultimately of course depends upon praxis. But the current scenario is one which opens up the possibility for the working people to seize the initiative to lift themselves out of the crisis and at the same time to defend and deepen their democratic rights, to carry forward in short the project of the October Revolution.

The traditional hurdy gurdy or hurdy-gurdy (also known as a wheel fiddle) is a stringed musical instrument that produces sound by a crank-turned rosined wheel rubbing against the strings. The wheel functions much like a violin bow, and single notes played on the instrument sound similar to a violin. Melodies are played on a keyboard that presses tangents (small wedges, usually made of wood) against one or more of the strings to change their pitch.
Ours is a little different. Local artist David Lent has created a whimsical table with a crank on the side. When you turn the crank all sorts of things happen – music plays, a fan spins, a sewing machine treadle moves, lights blink, reels spin and the clock rolls back. Visitors are encouraged to turn the crank on this creative work of art. Young and young at heart have been enjoying the music, lights and motion.

Jay-Z & Alicia Keys Shoot Video
For Empire State Of Mind…
Friday, October 2, 2009 - 17:13
Jay-Z and Alicia Keys have shot the video for their new single Empire State Of Mind at the Ground Zero site.
The stars were spotted filming in the Tribeca area of New York and around the area where the twin towers of the World Trade Centre once stood. Luckily Lil Mama was nowhere near!
Rap go-to man Hype Williams is directing the video.
Speaking to our US team recently Alicia talked about the song- which is already number 3 in the Official UK Singles Chart.
She said: "Working together on Empire State of Mind was incredible. I've admired Jay-Z for a long time.
"Reasonable Doubt is my all-time favorite album, period, and he's been on the scene for long time. I always figured that we would do some type of collaboration, and finally, it came together with this."
In other Jay-Z news it's reported that he will release a greatest hits collection next month.

Agricultural and Technology Leaders Establish New Consortium, National Agricultural Research Alliance – Beltsville
BELTSVILLE, Md. (April, 2007) – Leaders from Maryland's technology, research and development, economic development and agricultural industries have joined together to establish a new consortium, the National Agricultural Research Alliance – Beltsville, Inc. (NARA-B).
The goal of the organization is to support and advance the agricultural, human nutrition and scientific research mission of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Beltsville Agricultural Research Center (BARC). NARA-B will advocate for BARC and its agricultural and horticultural activities before legislative, executive, administrative and judicial bodies, and the public in general regarding the contributions to agricultural science, safe and healthful foods, environmental quality, national security and other benefits of BARC.
In addition, the group will also work to promote the maintenance and preservation of the natural and historic qualities of BARC, including open space, watershed protection and enhancement, and clean air and water.
"One of the first priorities for NARA-B is to champion for BARC to get 'enhanced use lease' authority, which will help the institution drive money that is currently used to maintain buildings on the BARC site into research and development," said John Peter Thompson, president of NARA-B. "The more research and development that can be conducted by researchers at BARC, the greater number of opportunities there are to better society."
The officers are:
· NARA-B President: John Peter Thompson, chairman of Behnke Nurseries, Co.
· NARA-B Secretary: Renée M. Winsky, executive director of the Maryland Technology Development Corp.
· NARA-B Treasurer: Wendi M. Williams, vice president of Old Line Bank
· NARA-B Board Member: Wanda L. Plumer, director of business development, retention and expansion for the Prince George's County Economic Development Corporation
· NARA-B Board Member: Essex Finney, former director of BARC

Emilio Garcia just posted these work-in-progress shots of the heads of his upcoming 8-inch Brain Pattern Qee bears by Toy2R. I am SUPER excited about this one and I know a bunch of you are as well. Definitely email us if you want to get on our list for these.
Blankie: Series 1 by Aarting Collection is now on the market!
The wait is now over. Ever since the HUGE launch party at myplasticheartynyc and building buzz at NYCC, Blankie has arrived and is now available to us. Each of these 12 limited edition collectibles was envisioned and created by up-and-coming designers from countries around the world including Matucha (Mexico), PO! (Argentina), Igor Ventura (Brazil), Stor Dubine (Germany), McCoy (Canada), Menilla (Mexico), Miss Shelby (USA), Cvele (Serbia), Jec (Mexico), Atomic1970 (Spain), Chupa & Cabra (Italy), and Jaoc (Venezuela).

BirdBot Instructions from HyperQuake on Vimeo.
So I don't know if I met someone from HyperQuake at NYCC, or if I'm just super special, but today I got a big, cool, high-quality BirdBot poster from the fine folks at Hyperquake. Hyperquake is, from what I can tell, a design/branding agency. I think. They have an online portfolio, a blog, a poster series, and a character named BirdBot which is also a downloadable, customizable papertoy (are you listening, Eric Wirjanata?). With my poster was packed a BirdBot papertoy on perforated heavy stock paper, ready to punch out and put together.
Like I said, I'm either very special, or very dense, or both.
But I like to make people happy and the cool part about owning a toy shop is people send me a lot of interesting things which I can give away.
Leave a comment under this post with your email address and your favorite bird character from a TV show or movie.
On Monday I'll put the names in a hat and pick a lucky winner!
(If you don't want to reveal your email publicly, you can email your answer to me instead with the subject line "BIRDBOT").

Family and friends said goodbye to designer Kate Spade today in a private funeral service.
The fashion icon was laid to rest this morning in Kansas City while family, friends and fans paid respect to the beloved fashion designer.
Kate was honored with a Christian mass and burial as fans and loved ones paid tribute by donating to the ASPCA or Kansas City's largest no-kill animal shelter and pet adoption campus called Wayside Waifs.
Today's service comes three weeks after the fashion icon was found dead of an apparent suicide in her Manhattan apartment.
The tragic news propelled designers, celebrities and fans alike to look back on her amazing rise in fashion. It also propelled an important conversation about mental health.
Earlier this week, the Kate Spade New York brand announced its plan to donate more than $1 million to suicide prevention and mental health awareness causes in honor of their late founder.
David Spade would also make a $100,000 donation to the National Alliance on Mental Illness following the death of his sister-in-law.
"More people suffer from mental health issues than we may realize but no one should ever feel ashamed to reach out for support," David said in a statement to People. "If you or anyone you know is in need of help or guidance please contact the national suicide prevention hotline at 800-273-8255 or go to nami.org to learn more and help those who may be in need."
As for Kate's husband Andy Spade, he recently paid tribute to the mother of his child in a lengthy statement to E! News.
"Kate was the most beautiful woman in the world. She was the kindest person I've ever known and my best friend for 35 years," he shared. "My daughter and I are devastated by her loss, and can't even begin to fathom life without her. We are deeply heartbroken and miss her already."
The statement continued, "My main concern is Bea and protecting her privacy as she deals with the unimaginable grief of losing her mother. Kate loved Bea so very much."
And in another turn of tragic events, earlier today, her family announced the news that Kate's father, Earl F. Brosnahan, Jr., passed away last night at the age of 89.
Our thoughts and prayers continue to go out to the Spade family.


Okay, it's my birthday. Yes, I am writing this on my birthday but will not be posting it on my blog on my birthday because, yes; I am afraid of creepos. Anyways, it is my birthday, and I wake up first thing in the morning to check my phone. Yes, I am addicted to my phone. My husband has been successful in my parking my phone in the other room—which has taken years of work on his part, but that is as far as my recovery has been.
So, I check my phone, and I find myself growing more and more irritated with birthday wishes. These aren't the old-fashion kind of birthday wishes that a person gets from a real human being with person-directed wishes. No, these are the kind of wishes that are automated that some secretary plugged into a program to go out in an email the day of my birthday.
I have at least ten of these wishes! All I can read is "happy birthday, we want to remind you that we exist" and "we want your money." That probably isn't the message that they are trying to send. I think they are trying being thoughtful and making me feel like I'm important so that I'll come back to them and give them a lot of money. They don't want me to know the second part—this is all an effort for them to make money. But I know it is. They should know it is. We all know it is.
Then later in the day I go out to my mailbox and receive Happy Birthday cards from places I have frequented. They will give me a whole ten dollars off if I come back and give them more money. Hmm. I have a birthday, and I am getting rewarded with a little money off so I can spend a whole lot of money. These gimmicks aren't feeling so good.
Yesterday, I went and had a therapeutic massage. From writing so much, my arms hardly work, and the lady has to spend most of the time trying to separate the muscles in my arms from being so attached to the bone. I really don't know what that means, other than it is not good. I get lectures of trying to work on my arm, do stretches, and most importantly think about not writing so much.
Ah, all in the day of a writer. My job is to write. My massage therapist job is to keep my arms working even though they often are inflamed and threatening to stop working altogether.
I smile and agree. I am pleased that she paid attention to me.
I flush and am generally very happy about that. Other places offered me ten dollars off, and I am annoyed. She offers me ten dollars off, and I am thrilled. Why is this? To make matters worse, I had already received ten dollar off coupons in the mail for massage. I have already thrown them away and thought of those people as money mongers.
After thinking about this contradiction, I decided my current massage therapist treated me like a human. I felt seen and responded really well to that. The others I didn't feel like a human or seen other than the possibility for those people to make more money. Anyone else have the same reactions as I had?

Illinois Legislators To Introduce Legalization Bill
By Aaron G. Biros
Lawmakers in Illinois seem poised to legalize recreational cannabis with the Governor's support.
It is not news that Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker favors recreational cannabis legalization. But State Senator Heather Steans (Chicago-D) and State Representative Kelly Cassidy (Chicago-D) introducing a formal bill to legalize recreational cannabis is certainly news. With what they hope will be bipartisan support in the legislature and a Governor on their side, Illinois seems poised to pass legislation legalizing recreational cannabis for adults.
According to the Herald & Register, State Sen. Steans says that public opinion polls show that roughly two-thirds of voters in Illinois favor recreational legalization. "We have a huge opportunity in Illinois to do this right and carefully," Steans told an audience at a town hall meeting in Springfield, IL yesterday. From what the lawmakers told the public during that town hall meeting, the legislation sounds like it mirrors programs in other states.
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker
The bill "would allow Illinoisans 21 and older to purchase and possess up to 30 grams, or about 1 ounce, of marijuana," Steans and Cassidy said. "Nonresidents would be able to buy and possess half that amount. Use of the drug in public wouldn't be allowed." The bill would expunge previous criminal records with respect to cannabis, make it harder for minors to access it and raise an estimated $350 million to $750 million, providing funding for "community development of impoverished neighborhoods," says Cassidy. "If we don't address the social-justice issues of this, if we don't address the collateral consequences of the 'war on drugs,' we will have failed," Cassidy added. The bill would also allow people to grow up to five plants at home, would not allow for public or social consumption, and municipalities, employers and landlords would be able to prohibit possession and use, according to the lawmakers.
In 2015, the state legalized medical cannabis and there are roughly 42,000 patients currently in the medical cannabis program, with roughly 40 qualifying conditions approved for use. Some critics have argued, according to the Chicago Tribune, that before the state legalizes recreational use for adults, they should first expand the list of qualifying conditions for patients. This would provide greater access to those in need while the state implements a regulatory framework for recreational use, which could take upwards of a year to establish the program.

Event Reports Virtual Workshop (4/8 & 4/22)
This 4-hour training program is divided into TWO SESSIONS taking place on April 8 and April 22.

Scotland's population set to start falling in six years' time
Scotland's population will fall after reaching a peak in 2028 if existing trends continue, new research has revealed.

National Records of Scotland (NRS) projects the population will rise slightly to 5.48 million in 2028 before falling to 5.39 million by 2045.
Currently, 5.47 million people live in Scotland.

If past trends in births, deaths and migration continue, then by 2045 there will be 200,000 fewer children – a fall of 22 per cent – and 300,000 more people over 65 (an increase of 30 per cent).
If the projections from NRS are realised, Scotland's population will fall by 1.5 per cent over the next 25 years, whilst the UK population will grow 5.8 per cent.
NRS head of population and migration statistics Esther Roughsedge said: "Birth rates have been falling steadily for a number of years.
"Lower birth rates are the main reason these projections are lower than previous ones.
"Life expectancy has stalled since 2012-14 and Covid-19 has had some impact.
"But most of the projected change is due to longer-terms trends showing more deaths than births each year.
"As has been the case since mid-2001, more people are projected to move to Scotland than leave each year, but beyond 2028 this will no longer offset the gap between births and deaths.
"This is the main reason for these figures showing Scotland's population peaking in the next decade before falling.
"Projections look at what will happen if current and recent trends continue into the future.
"These statistics are a useful guide for those involved in planning services for the future.
"A fall in the number of children and increases in the number of older people will change the pattern of demand for services like schools, health and social care."
Age Scotland said the significant increase in people of pension age projected over the next two decades meant urgent action was needed to make Scotland fit for the future.
Charity chief executive Brian Sloan said: "Even before the pandemic, our health and social care services faced immense pressure and now they're being stretched to breaking point.
"If we are to deliver on the health care needs of older people both now and in the future, more investment and resources will be needed."
The NRS report is based on data from the Office for National Statistics.
