Want to Grow Your Own Cannabis? Get Ready to Fight 'Big Marijuana'
David Bienenstock
(erhui1979, BerZerKer/iStock)
Illinois is about to make history as the first state to legalize recreational cannabis and allow commercial sales through the state legislature instead of via a voter initiative, pending the governor's signature. But this historic piece of legislation almost died along the way over the increasingly contentious issue of homegrow.
Eventually, lawmakers compromised by allowing only medical cannabis patients to cultivate for themselves; recreational consumers can't grow at all. This may sound like politics as usual, but it actually represents a worrying trend for those who believe that the right to grow your own cannabis is an essential part of a truly equitable legalization plan.
Surprise! Illinois Becomes the 11th Cannabis Legalization State
Currently, every state—except for Washington—that allows recreational cannabis dispensaries also allows homegrow. So far, none of these states have seriously considered rescinding the policy, and in Washington, there's a growing push to add homegrow to the mix.
So what gives? Why has growing six plants at home become so controversial?
Illinois lawmakers actually passed an admirably equity-centered legalization bill, other than deciding that non-medical-patient adults can't grow their own. And now lawmakers in New York and New Jersey appear poised to make the same mistake when considering their own legalization bills.
To find out why, let's follow the money a bit.
Try, Try Again: Washington Lawmakers Introduce Homegrow Bill
It's Like Home Brewing, But for Cannabis
In a recent interview with Cannabis Wire, New York State Senator Diane Savino described homegrow as a major sticking point in trying to pass legalization.
"The truth is, if you're going to have a legal, regulated market, it's hard to manage homegrow. I don't know how you really do that. And every state that has it, has said to us, 'Don't do it,'" said Savino.
Savino's office did not reply to several inquiries from Leafly seeking clarification on which states advised against homegrow and for what specific reasons. But apparently she hasn't spoken with Shaleen Title—one of five members of the Cannabis Control Commission in Massachusetts—because Title put "Allow Homegrow" at #1 in her widely disseminated list, "10 Must-Haves in Any Cannabis Legalization Bill."
"The truth is, if you're going to have a legal, regulated market, it's hard to manage homegrow. I don't know how you really do that. And every state that has it, has said to us, 'Don't do it'"
New York State Senator Diane Savino
Meanwhile, we do know that some of the biggest players in New York's nascent cannabis industry have been aggressively lobbying against allowing individuals to cultivate their own cannabis for personal use.
Through a Freedom of Information Act request, the advocacy website Marijuana Moment gained access to a 29-page document that was sent to Governor Andrew Cuomo by the New York Medical Cannabis Industry Association (NYMCIA) roughly a month before he announced a legalization plan that specifically excluded homegrow.
The NYMCIA represents a who's who of Big Marijuana in the state, including Acreage NY (featuring John Boehner), and MedMen (yup, those guys). The industry group's policy statement featured an entire chapter titled "The Fallacy of Home Grow" that cited five reasons why allowing at-home personal cultivation poses a supposed risk to public safety.
Why Buy at the Dispensary When You Can Grow Cannabis at Home for Cheaper?
Here are those five reasons, and my response to each:
1. Homegrow will make it impossible for the state to eliminate the black market.
An adult growing six plants securely in their backyard or basement no more represents a dangerous black market in cannabis than someone who brews small batches of beer at home.
2. Homegrow will make it impossible for law enforcement to distinguish between legal and illegal products, thus frustrating enforcement efforts.
Homegrow typically allows an adult to grow only six plants—does the NYMCIA really want the cops arresting people for such small amounts? Are the authorities not able to distinguish between a dangerous criminal operation and a six-plant homegrow? Big Marijuana is basically saying that if the only weed that's legal is the stuff they package and sell, then it'll be much easier for the police to bust anyone operating outside that system.
3. Homegrow will undermine the state's harm-reduction goal of ensuring that cannabis sold in New York State is grown without noxious pesticides or other contaminants.
People who cultivate their own cannabis have total control over how it's grown, harvested, and processed, same as people who grow their own tomatoes.
Home Cannabis Cultivation and Possession Laws: A State-by-State Guide
4. Homegrow will undermine the state's public health interest in ensuring that cannabis sold in New York State is tested, packaged, and labeled correctly.
Yes, it's a legitimate benefit to have your cannabis lab tested, but cannabis can be grown organically at home for a fraction of what dispensaries charge, thus making it available to those who can't otherwise afford it, including medical cannabis patients and those seeking an alternative to alcohol or opioids.
5. Homegrow will cost the state tax revenue, thus hindering the state's ability to fund priorities such as drug abuse treatment and community investment.
The government spent the last one hundred or so years wasting trillions of dollars on arresting cannabis consumers and tearing apart people's lives and families, and now I can't grow six plants of Bubba Kush on my back patio because it's gonna deprive them of a tiny trickle of tax revenue?
5 Reasons Why You Should Consider Growing Your Own Cannabis
My High Five
Naturally, the NYMCIA letter never mentions that homegrow might hurt their bottom line. But that's clearly the reason Big Marijuana joined forces to push homegrow out of New York. And every state that legalizes from now on will face the same pressure, since the increasingly corporatized and capitalized Wall Street wing of the cannabis industry will no doubt continue to lobby to protect its own interests above those of consumers and patients.
Not that the entire industry shares this view.
The National Cannabis Industry Association (NCIA), a far older, larger, and more representative industry association, says it doesn't oppose homegrow, and even believes personal cultivation can help spark an interest in craft cannabis the same way home brewing has helped spur the market in craft beer.
Legalization Isn't Enough: 10 Things Every New Cannabis Law Must Have
But mostly it will be up to medical cannabis patients and activists to push back against Big Marijuana's brazen attempts to roll back our inalienable rights in this regard. In New Jersey, there's already been public protests to make lawmakers understand the many benefits of allowing homegrow.
And in that spirit, here are my top five reasons for allowing homegrow, which we all need to use when pushing back against the brazen attempts to curtail our freedoms.
Five Reasons to Allow At-Home Personal Cannabis Cultivation:
1. Provides a check on high prices at dispensaries, giving people an affordable option
2. Maintains cannabis plant biodiversity
3. Patients can access specific strains that work best for their conditions
4. Growing your own is a fun, life-affirming process
5. It's pot, not plutonium

There are still a lot of things about cannabis legalization that make no sense at any level. Homegrow is absolutely one of them but I find possession limits to be even more mind-boggling.
So, if I live in a state that legalizes cannabis and that state has a 1-ounce possession limit and I happen to prefer a diverse cannabis pantry tipping in at just over 3 ounces, the size of my stash makes my possession a criminal offense? Yes, that is what most states have decided.
How does that make any sense? The state has no interest in determining how many cans of beer I have in my refrigerator, or bottles in my wine cellar. But when it comes to weed, the first ounce is legal and all the rest is criminal. Really?
I understand the concern that possession of large amounts of cannabis may create the risk of illegal sales. OK, but then law enforcement need to prove that my 3 ounces is for sales, rather than my personal consumption. That can't be so difficult now, can it?
It seems the state is determined that I should live my life in criminal shadows. The net result is that I didn't have any respect for cannabis laws prior to legalization and I have the same lack of respect now.

In California, where Prop 64 legalized cannabis, the one ounce possession limit applies to how much you have on your person — not how much stash you you may have in your pantry.
Yeowza
Same as Oregon.
Yup… I guess the "possession" issue could be confusing to some, but common sense or logic says if you are growing 6 plants, your yield will be far greater than an ounce per plant! lol!

We saw the beginning edge of this encroachment on our right to grow when the Greedy Sellers Against Legalization [GSAL] maliciously inserted the insidious "Halo" rule into Nevada's legalization. – This rule prohibits anyone who lives within 25 miles of a marijuana store from growing their own. In the desert state of Nevada, that's a virtual ban on home growing for 95 percent of the population! – The ONLY reason for this rule is to increase the industry profits at the expense of consumers' freedom and rights!
We have had to fight against the GSAL in every state that has re-legalized marijuana. – We lost to them in Ohio, Arizona and in the first attempts in California, Colorado, Oregon and elsewhere. They almost beat us in Washington, which may be part of the reason that state doesn't have home grow.
Now comes this massive move. – The ONLY thing that can protect us is a true, national, marijuana consumers union!
NORML and MPP have clearly become more industry focused than advocates for consumers. – Please, someone, let's get this started! – I have my check for membership dues ready to write and send!

As a gardner at heart, growing your own plant in your own garden should not be a crime. Castor bean and deadly nightshade – entirely lethal! and legal. Poppies? legal. Datura? dangerous deliriant, totally legal. Salvia – dissociative, legal. Wormwood? legal. Morning glory? powerful psychedelic, legal. But marie-jee-wanna? Is the mere sight of a cannabis plant so corrupting, so horrific, that it cannot be allowed to be seen in public, it must only be grown in the controlled environment of a licensed facility? What a load of hooey. It's pot not plutonium, indeed.
this is karen mahoney pope and have a severe stroke. i am from vicksburg, ms. marijuana is illegal. LEGALIZE POT NOW!!! thank-you!
MobyDick123
I can not see no reason whatsoever why a person can´t be allowed to grow 4-6 plants at home. You have direct controll over what you are growing and what you ad when growing it. You get a nice time nursing your own plants and finally consume your own harvest. And as for consumer safety i don´t think anyone growing such a small amount will poison themselves with all kinds of chemicals. But as laws are changing in the US as for everything else it has just become all about the money. It just has become a big bussines, sadly so.
YearofAction
The 10th Amendment established the rights of PEOPLE to grow cannabis under State law. Section 1 of the 14th Amendment established that States cannot abridge the privileges and immunities of CITIZENS to grow cannabis. These amendments were ratified by the States long before the malformed federal definition of marijuana was misconstrued to surreptitiously effect the prohibition of cannabis.
There is nothing established by these Amendments for corporations to grow cannabis. We must not allow federal law to continue to deny us our constitutional rights, privileges and immunities to grow cannabis, for the subordinate desires of corporate profits.
The necessary and proper way to end the mistaken prohibition of cannabis, and continue the enforcement of the prohibition of corporate growing of cannabis, is to contact our members of Congress about reconstructing the malformed federal definition of marijuana so that it carefully deschedules cannabis by clearly describing how marijuana is actually derived from cannabis, while retaining the legitimate federal prohibitions that control the undesired proliferation of marijuana, regardless of its Scheduled status. Consider this reconstructed definition:
The term "marijuana" means all parts of the smoke produced by the combustion of the plant Cannabis sativa L. which is, as are the viable seeds of such plant, prohibited to be grown by or sold by any publicly traded corporation or subsidiary company, and such smoke is prohibited to be inhaled by any child or by any person bearing any firearm, as is the intake of any part or any product of such plant containing more than 0.3% THC by weight unless prescribed to such child by an authorized medical practitioner.
By literally stating that marijuana means cannabis smoke, the reconstructed definition will legislatively override the longstanding federal misconstruction that marijuana means cannabis. It will restrain States from maliciously misconstruing federal marijuana law. It will automatically restore banking privileges to businesses engaged in cannabis commerce. It will oblige corporations to outsource their supplies of cannabis from citizens competing in the supply-side of a diversified cannabis market, and it will preclude corporations from enticing children to "smoke marijuana".
In terms of our U.S. heritage, the reconstructed definition will help to prevent misconstruction or abuse of the Constitution's powers, extend the ground of public confidence in the Government, and best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution, as well as establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, by adhering to the self-evident truths that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, and that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

It doesn't take a genius to figure this one out, cannabis businesses want you to buy from them, not growing your own. It's that simple. They are aggressively lobbying state legislatures to keep home growing illegal. The solution? Of course, most legislators will do the bidding of any industry that gives them money, so cannabis users have to be louder than the industry lobbyists. Call/ email/ visit your state rep's and senator's offices and let them know that you will work to unseat them if they don't support home grow. We can lobby too, but we need big numbers of people turning up and protesting. People have to inundate their offices with calls, emails and visits until they relent.
MasterWolfmoon
Go ahead and TRY to stop people. Your not going to. This ban on homegrown is a complete violation of a legal consumer's civil liberty. You can make your own beer/moonshine in private, same with weed. Big weed companies can go f themselves. Again, try,I say TRY to stop me!
boing757
I live in the one state that has legal Cannabis but doesn't allow home growing.I believe that the law disallowing home growing is lightly enforced when it comes to personal use growing.The only arrests I've heard of are large illegal black market growing of which there have been many.Usually run by Chinese nationals in the country illegally.
Tim Bambam
I also believe that if I grow my own pot whatever I decide to use n the plant is my problem. I also think that I have a lot more control of what is being used as fertilizer by growing myself.
I guess as New Yorkers we now know where the big fight will be in gaining legalization. I will fight until I can't for the right to grow my own.
By not allowing people to grow at home the government would be putting more pressure on the police. How are they supposed to know what's legal and what's not? Most people carry pot in something other than the medical grade container that is being used in most places. And once it's been ground and put into an airtight container how are the police going to distinguish between what's legal?
Scotty Myers
Damn good article. Glad I am up on this. Not that I have the time or inclination to grow, I don't.
But for those that do, why not? I grew up growing common crops.
The diversity that private cultivation brings, is so needed in this day and age.
With the ever-growing population growth of the world, we all need to be able to spread
ourselves out and create. Do not give up your rights as a HUMAN BEING.
Remember, it's all about 1's and 0's now.
Seth Tyrssen
Looks like a good reason to support your local black market. I warned of this "corporate take-over" some time ago.
BruceIshikawa
It's a plant. All arguments in favor of ANY kind of control have no weight. Free growing and distribution should be a right, Just like my tomatoes.
Good luck with trying to stop people from growing their own….The challenge would be to retract from allowing people to home brew beer and wine. I grew (Oregon) one time with and indoor set up….for all it takes to monitor….well…it's easier to buy. However, I would try again. It's a weed sure, but to get descent bud is not an instant success. In Washington State they DO NOT allow homegrown, BUT, people still do under the radar…which is pretty easy…unless you get over zealous and tell everyone. It's a plant…If I lived in a state that said I could not grow, and I wanted to…well….Life finds a way.
Morgan Gritley
that sounds about right. it's called capitalism, another form of feudalism.
24 Hour Man
So silly the hand wringing over a non poisonous plant…kudos to Massachusetts which allows home growing
Vance Vance
Those aren't marijuana plants, officer; they're hemp…
Derek Noland
There is another mind boggling WTF, besides it being legal to make your own booze. Think about the cost to companies when employees call in sick due to a hangover. I have never had a cannabis hangover, sometimes I ate to much, but I still made it to work. I won't even begin to mention all the legal substances that are far worse not just to the consumer but the environment as well.
Larry Megugorac
I have found that growing is a lot of work to produce quality herb…in my state, growers have realized the Gov't greediness with 40% tax (local and State) that they have lowered Oz prices to $100/oz. At that price, it's hardly worth it to grow your own. However NO F'n Gov't can stop what you grow in your own backyard! That's preposterous!!!!
There is no F'n way the "Big Marijuana" will ever stop me from growing in my own backyard….that's also preposterous!!!!!

A Whirlwind year comes full circle for Ellsworth
It's July of 2016 and the man then known as "Pretty" Jimmy Dream was sitting backstage in Pittsburgh at Monday Night Raw. He's scheduled for an appearance on the show to face Braun Strowman. For most in this position, this would be just a little exposure and experience on national tv before being relegated back to the independents. Wrestling as James Ellsworth on this particular night, he expected no more than just that. Little did he know, he was about to become an internet sensation.
In the course of the next year, he would go on a journey that very few could have predicted. Over the next year, a small kid from Glen Burnie, MD would go on to defeat the WWE Champion (in anon title bout) appear on Wrestlemania and travel the globe with that number one wrestling organization in the world. But eventually, all good things must come to an end.
A week before thanksgiving, James Ellsworth was released by the WWE. While the sting of being released after a whirlwind year had to be rough, the positive to this is that a return to the independents can bring forth a career rejuvenation for "the man with two hands." And what better place to start than the promotion where he made a name for himself, Adrenaline Championship Wrestling.
What will James Ellsworth have to say in his first advertised appearance, post WWE? The only way to find out is to be there LIVE on February 16th at Michael's 8th Ave. Get your tickets for the return to prominence for ACW. Click the link below for tickets.

Renewable Energy Plans Taking Shape in China and India
By Chris Morrison
Updated on: August 11, 2009 / 6:25 AM / MoneyWatch
China and India have proven resistant to international pressure to adopt emissions targets. But the two giant countries, together representing a third of the world's population, also aren't totally ignoring their problems. A series of recent announcements shows that both are casting about for the most cost-effective way to develop new energy.
For India, that may be the power of sunlight. The country has just settled on a plan to build 20 gigawatts of solar capacity by 2020, which would make it one of the world's most active markets for solar companies. After hitting the 20GW target, India's government intends to build another 180GW by 2050, for a total of 200GW.
China is also planning on massive solar deployments, but appears to be concentrating more on its domestic wind industry at the moment. The country just started construction on what it calls its "Three Gorges in the Air", a reference to Three Gorges Dam, the world's largest hydropower facility.
There have already been some inconsistencies in the announcements about these plans -- China, for instance, touted the beginning of its wind farm twice, perhaps hoping to get more credit for the same efforts. And in some ways both countries' plans are still more noise than substance; neither has put enough renewable energy incentives in place to make clean technology more attractive than coal, which both countries predominantly rely upon.
Problems that have already clipped the heels of Western countries also await. China already has a significant amount of wind power installed, but can't use all of it because it lacks enough transmission infrastructure. Both China and India are physically expansive, and it may not be a simple task to transmit power from the barren regions that are sunniest and windiest to population centers like Delhi and Shanghai.
But both China and India also look more likely to stick to their targets than other countries, if only because their energy demands are rising so quickly. India alone may triple or quadruple its needs over the next two decades, according to various analysts, including the International Energy Agency. Even 20GW of solar power will be only a small fraction of overall demand.
And that's why announcements about renewable energy development will likely keep coming out of these two countries. They need the power anyway, and adopting renewables gives the appearance of action -- even if it's not enough, in the grand scheme of things, to make much of a difference.

In de beperkt erkende afscheidingsrepubliek Zuid-Ossetië van Georgië vonden op 10 april 2022 presidentsverkiezingen plaats. Geen van de vijf kandidaten behaalde meer dan 50% van de stemmen, waardoor een tweede ronde plaatsvond op 8 mei 2022 tussen zittend president Anatoli Bibilov en Nychas partijleider Alan Gaglojev. Laatstgenoemde won met ruim 56% van de stemmen, bij een opkomst van bijna 74%. Op 24 mei 2022 vond de overdracht van het presidentschap plaats.

Het grootste deel van de internationale gemeenschap, inclusief Georgië, beschouwt de verkiezingen als illegaal en erkent deze niet, in tegenstelling tot Rusland en bondgenoten die de onafhankelijkheid van Zuid-Ossetië en de verkiezingen erkennen.

Kandidaten

Er werden op 16 maart 2022 vijf kandidaten definitief geregistreerd voor deze verkiezing, nadat twaalf kandidaten werden geweigerd door de centrale verkiezingsautoriteiten. Hieronder bevonden zich sterke concurrenten voor Bibilov, zoals voormalig gezant voor mensenrechten en minister van buitenlandse zaken in de regio David Sanakojev waartegen het Internationaal Strafhof in maart 2022 een arrestatiebevel uitvaardigde. Voormalig president Edoeard Kokojti probeerde mee te doen, maar werd net als in 2017 geweigerd. Kandidaat Alan Gaglojev stond in 2017 ook op het stembiljet en eindigde toen als derde achter winnaar Anatoli Bibilov en zittend president Leonid Tibilov.

Campagne
President Bibilov deed de verkiezingsbelofte de aansluiting bij Rusland en vereniging met Noord-Ossetië te regelen, iets dat hij al sinds 2014 regelmatig probeerde. Op 30 maart 2022 kondigde hij aan het "juridische proces" hiertoe na de verkiezingen te starten. Russische politici reageerden positief maar eisten een referendum, wat vervolgens begin april in gang werd gezet. Bibilov werd hierin gesteund door alle voormalige presidenten van de zelfverklaarde republiek.

Oppositiekandidaat Alan Gaglojev had in de campagne forse kritiek op het beleid van Bibilov zoals de toegenomen wetteloosheid, problemen met de scheiding der machten, de rechterlijke macht, het zwakke lokale zelfbestuur (van de districten), de sociale ongelijkheid en corruptie waarbij Russische staatsdonaties in de zakken van de machthebbers verdwijnen. Verder was hij kritisch over het voorgestelde referendum over aansluiting bij Rusland. Gaglojev stelde dat Bibilov "onze Russische collega's in deze situatie sleept, waardoor de Russische Federatie in diskrediet wordt gebracht en anti-Russische sentimenten in de republiek ontstaan. Ik denk dat de huidige autoriteiten van Rusland, vertegenwoordigd door president Vladimir Vladimirovitsj Poetin, nog steeds bezig zijn met andere zaken, die serieuzer zijn".

Resultaten

Op 10 april 2022 moest president Anatoli Bibilov het in de eerste ronde van de presidentsverkiezingen afleggen tegen Alan Gaglojev die de meeste stemmen kreeg. De drie afgevallen kandidaten verklaarden Gaglojev te steunen voor de tweede ronde tegen Bibilov die gehouden werd op 8 mei 2022. Gaglojev won deze ronde met ruim 56% van de stemmen. Er werden bijna 6000 stembiljetten in het buitenland verspreid over vier stembureaus in Vladikavkaz (Noord-Ossetië), Moskou en Soechoemi (Abchazië), welke bijna allemaal gebruikt werden. De verkiezingscommissie zette de machtsoverdracht op 24 mei 2022.

De oorzaak van Bibilovs nederlaag, die in 2017 nog een makkelijke overwinning boekte, moet volgens lokale kenners gezocht worden in de vele misstanden en schandalen die de voorbije jaren onder Bibilov de revue hebben gepasseerd. Zo was er een gevangenisdode door marteling na diens arrestatie onder beschuldiging van het plegen van een aanslag op de minister van Binnenlandse Zaken en verlamde het parlement als gevolg van deze zaak. Daarnaast waren er schandalen rond smokkel en corruptie, problemen met de goedereninvoer uit Rusland en de zaak Tsnelisi-Tsjortsjana, een betwist gebied tussen Zuid-Ossetië en de centrale autoriteiten van Georgië die laatstgenoemde controleert in weerwil van Zuid-Osseetse territoriale claims. Verder deed Bibilov er alles aan om kansrijke kandidaten niet te laten deelnemen aan de verkiezingen, wat de boosheid over zijn manier van besturen verder voedde.

Waarnemers
Het grootste deel van de internationale gemeenschap, inclusief Georgië, bestempelt de verkiezingen in Zuid-Ossetië illegaal. De internationale organisaties in Europa die verkiezingen waarnemen sturen geen missies, zoals het Bureau voor Democratische Instellingen en Mensenrechten (ODIHR) van de OVSE, de EU, de Parlementaire Vergadering van de Raad van Europa (PACE) en andere organisaties. De autoriteiten in Zuid-Ossetië rekruteren doorgaans in samenwerking met Rusland onofficiële waarnemers uit sympathiserende kringen. Bij de eerste ronde waren ruim 60 van dergelijke waarnemers uit Rusland, Venezuela en Syrië, maar ook uit EU-lidstaten Oostenrijk en Italië, de Georgische afscheidingsregio Abchazië, en de zelfverklaarde volksrepublieken Donetsk en Loegansk. De Russische waarnemersmissies konden geen punt van kritiek vinden en waren lovend over de gang van zaken als "voorbeeld voor andere regio's, ook in Rusland". Voor de tweede ronde waren waarnemers aanwezig uit Rusland, Abchazië, Donetsk en Loegansk. Russische waarnemers zagen in de tweede ronde meer slordigheden, minder goede organisatie en noteerden schendingen. De verkiezingen werden volgens de Zuid-Osseetse autoriteiten door ongeveer 60 geaccrediteerde journalisten verslagen, waarvan twee derde uit Rusland en de rest uit Zuid-Ossetië.

Reacties
  - Tbilisi veroordeelde de verkiezingen als illegaal en in strijd met het internationaal recht en de soevereiniteit en territoriale integriteit van Georgië.
  - President Vladimir Poetin feliciteerde winnaar Gaglojev op 10 mei 2022 met zijn verkiezing en sprak de verwachting uit dat Gaglojev de "verdere versterking van de bilaterale betrekkingen op basis van de principes van het alliantie en strategisch partnerschap" zal bevorderen. Politici in Rusland stelden in een reactie te hopen op continuïteit in de relatie tussen beiden, en signaleerden dat een aansluitingsreferendum voor Gaglojev geen prioriteit is.
  - De ambassadeur voor de EU in Georgië, Carl Hartzell, stelde in een verklaring dat de EU "het constitutionele en juridische kader waarbinnen de zogenaamde presidentsverkiezingen vandaag plaatsvinden in de afgescheiden Georgische regio Zuid-Ossetië niet erkennen" en dat de EU het beleid van niet-erkenning blijft voortzetten.
  - De Amerikaanse ambassade in Tbilisi stelt in een verklaring dat "de Verenigde Staten de legitimiteit van de zogenaamde presidentsverkiezingen die op 10 april in de Georgische regio Zuid-Ossetië zijn gehouden niet erkennen en de uitkomst ervan niet zal erkennen. Ons standpunt over Abchazië en Zuid-Ossetië blijft duidelijk: deze regio's maken integraal deel uit van Georgië". De Amerikaanse senator Jim Risch veroordeelde de verkiezing scherp en onderstreepte dat Oekraïne niet de enige natie is die Poetin probeert te "ontmantelen en vernietigen" in verwijzing naar de Russisch-Georgische Oorlog van 2008.
  - De regering in Moldavië veroordeelde de verkiezing op voorhand als "schending van de fundamentele regels en beginselen van het internationaal recht die zijn vastgelegd in het VN-Handvest en de Helsinki-akkoorden".
  - Berlijn beschouwt "deze 'verkiezingen' en hun uitkomst als illegaal. Dit geldt ook voor alle andere besluiten van de feitelijke autoriteiten in Zuid-Ossetië die de territoriale integriteit van Georgië schenden."
  - Spanje wees de verkiezingen af en herhaalde de "krachtige steun voor de soevereiniteit en territoriale integriteit van Georgië binnen het kader van zijn erkende internationale grenzen."

"Demons are a joke today. They have no power, no potency. In the past demons followed the Vedic principles and got power in that way. Like Hiranyakasipu. He was the greatest demon but a great Vedic scholar and when he wanted to become more powerful to kill Visnu the way he increased his power was by following the Vedic process of tapasya. But today's demons do not follow the Vedic principles so they are just weak fools.
Everyone, even the so-called demons, will be attracted by Lord Caitanya's Sankirtan movement. If we could just get some serious devotees who were prepared to push on Lord Caitanya's sankirtan movement seriously…" (a reply to my comment on Krishna.org).


This original Nha Trang webcam allows you to look at the sea in real time. The webcam is located in one of the high-rise buildings on the seafront. As a result, the view of the sea bay of Nha Trang is slightly limited on both sides by neighboring buildings. The shade of these buildings is clearly visible on sunny days on the beach and the water, especially in the afternoons. However, if you expand the webcam to full screen, then we can see the beach, and most of the Bay of Nha Trang online. This is especially important for those people who want to learn about the weather in Nyachang not from the forecast on the Internet, but to see the situation on the coast of the resort with their own eyes in real time.
The location of this webcam is the northern part of the resort. Therefore, even in the winter months, when there may be high waves in the central part of Nha Trang beach, you can swim more safely here. In other words, if you come to Nha Trang from late November to March and you understand that the waves on the central beach are too high and dangerous, try visiting the northern part of the beach. But even if the waves are too high here, you can go to the beach of the Paragon Villa Hotel, where the waves are absent at any time of the year because of the stone spit with palm trees, which reliably protects this small beach from the open sea (entrance to the beach costs about 1 USD for those who do not live in the specified hotel).
The webcam, which allows you to see the sea and the beach in the northern part of Nha Trang, also allows you to see a small part of the largest island in the resort area. Hon Che Island (Bamboo Island) is famous for its Vinpearl amusement park. It occupies a large area and includes a water park, aquarium, attractions, beaches, an amphitheater, a hotel, a cafe, a restaurant and other entertainment for children and adults. By the way, you can reach the island by a cableway over the sea – this transport itself is a good attraction for all guests of the city of Nha Trang. Since this webcam in Nyachang is installed indoors, all visible artifacts are not on the lens, but on the outside, on the glass and cannot be quickly removed.
The webcam is broadcast by Nhatranginfo, an information service in Nha Trang, which offers low-cost excursions in Nha Trang, visa services, popular products from Vietnam and advice on holidaying in Vietnam. At the top of this webcam in Nha Trang are contact details for Uncle Ivan for ordering tours and a timer with the current date and time at the resort. Happy viewing and relaxing in Nha Trang!


Personal loans are convenient financial tools for emergencies. They can help you recover from a financial disaster or take care of large expenditures, including those related to a home renovation, a vacation, a wedding or even car repair.
Your credit score is probably the most important factor to consider before applying for a personal loan. This is because personal loans are unsecured, and the only way for lenders to know if they will get their money back is to check your credit score. If you have a good credit history and score, you are more likely to have your loan sanctioned. Banks are particularly strict about this and may not accept loans from borrowers with a poor credit. NBFCs are more flexible, though the interest rate they offer will be higher if you have poor credit.
A credit score of more than 750 is general regarded as a good score and indicates a high probability of you repaying the loan.
The eligibility criteria for personal loans are not strict, but lenders are very concerned about your repayment capabilities, especially since they don't get collateral. Your income, and even the location from where you are applying, make a difference in your application being approved. Bigger cities have a higher income limit as compared to smaller cities. Also, your salary and city of residence can determine the loan amount that would be sanctioned to you.
If you already have other loans to repay, you are less likely to get your personal loan approved. This is because with existing debt, you are less likely to be able to repay the personal loan. It is therefore important to check your debt-to-income ratio before you apply.
Applying for these loans just got even easier with pre-approved offers from Bajaj Finserv. These offers make it much easier to avail the finance as all you need to do is share some basic information and get your exclusive pre-approved offer.
Personal loan interest rate: How is it calculated?
Personal loan interest rates are usually high, and the interest you have to pay is entirely based on the lender's discretion. While calculating the interest, they take in to account your credit score and history. The higher your score, the lower your interest rates. Moreover, most lenders offer fixed interest rates, but some also offer a floating interest rate. Since your EMIs are calculated on the basis of the principal amount, tenor, and interest rate, you pay either a fixed EMI or a changing EMI, depending on whether your interest rate is fixed or floating.

Le  bief de Sainte-Catherine  est une section du canal d'Orléans comprise entre l'écluse de Machot en amont et l'écluse de Sainte-Catherine en aval. Il fait partie de la première section du canal construite par Robert Mahieu entre 1676 et 1678 entre Vieilles-Maisons-sur-Joudry et Buges.

D'une longueur de , le bief est entièrement situé sur la commune de Pannes.

Historique
Un premier tronçon du canal est creusé par Robert Mahieu entre Vieilles-Maisons-sur-Joudry et Buges entre 1676 et 1678 et ouvert au transport du bois et du charbon. La construction du bief et de l'écluse de Sainte-Catherine est réalisée dans cette première phase. La construction du canal jusqu'à la Loire est ensuite entreprise de 1681 à 1687 et est inaugurée en 1692.

De 1692 à 1793 le canal est en plein essor. De  à  remontent par an la Loire depuis Nantes pour gagner Paris. En 1793 le canal devient bien national. De 1807 à 1860, le canal est géré par une société privée, la Compagnie des canaux d'Orléans et du Loing, puis en 1863 sa gestion est confiée aux Ponts et Chaussées pour

De 1908 à 1921, alors que le trafic de marchandises par voie fluviale est en pleine régression, des travaux prolongation du canal entre Combleux et Orléans sont entrepris. Avec l'extinction complète du trafic, le canal est déclassé en 1954 des voies navigables et entre dans le domaine privé de l'État.

En 1978 est créé le Syndicat Mixte de Gestion du Canal d'Orléans, qui a pour objet la gestion, la promotion et l'animation de l'ensemble du domaine du canal. En 1984, le département du Loiret prend la gestion du domaine pour , laissant au Syndicat la gestion courante du domaine, qui reste toujours propriété de l'État.

Bief de Sainte-Catherine

Descriptif
Le bief de Sainte-Catherine s'étend sur une longueur de  entre l'écluse de Machot en amont et l'écluse de Sainte-Catherine en aval. Il est entièrement situé sur la commune de Pannes.

Le bief dispose d'une aire de retournement permettant d'envisager un retournement aisé pour la plupart des bateaux de plaisance. Cet aménagement se distingue par un élargissement conséquent du canal, au minimum de , sur une longueur maximale de . Elle est située en amont de l'écluse de Sainte-Catherine.

Ponts

Le viaduc de Pannes est un ouvrage remarquable. Il s'agit d'un pont en arc bowstring qui permet à l'autoroute A77 de franchir le canal et la rivière Bézonde sur le territoire de la commune de Pannes. Il est original par le fait qu'il ne comporte qu'un seul arc central à suspentes rayonnantes. Il fut, à sa construction, avec le viaduc de Briare, l'ouvrage de ce type ayant la plus grande portée en Europe (). En 2000, il reçoit le Prix des Plus beaux ouvrages du Syndicat de la construction métallique de France dans la catégorie ouvrages d'art.

Ouvrages hydrauliques

Travaux de réhabilitation du canal
Dans le cadre du projet de restauration du canal, des travaux de curage des fonds du bief et de protection des berges sont nécessaires

Curage
Les exigences liées à la remise en navigation du canal imposent le gabarit suivant sur le canal : une hauteur d'eau minimale de , correspondant à un tirant d'eau de  et  de pied de pilote  et une largeur de canal en plafond de  à minima. Ceci conduira à réaliser des travaux de curage des fonds des biefs pour libérer le tirant d'eau nécessaire aux bateaux. Sur le bief de Sainte-Catherine, un volume total de l'ordre de  de vases est à curer, soit, pour une longueur de bief curable de , un volume moyen de l'ordre de /ml.

Protections de berges
 de berges naturelles sont à protéger dans le cadre du projet de réhabilitation du canal, pour un coût estimé en 2009 à .

Écluse de Sainte-Catherine

L'écluse de Sainte-Catherine présente une longueur de sas de , pour une largeur de . Les cotes NGF des différents éléments caractéristiques de l'écluse sont les suivantes : bief amont : 85.12, bief aval : 82.67, niveau supérieur du bajoyer : 86.22. La hauteur de chute est donc de

L'écluse de Sainte-Catherine est fonctionnelle. Elle ne nécessite donc pas de travaux dans le cadre du projet de remise en navigation du canal d'Orléans

The Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre featured a night of hilarity by three Canadian comics on Thursday. Katie Burrell, Katie-Ellen Humphries, and Erica Sigurdson kept the crowd laughing in their seats during the comedy show Ha Ha Harem.
The evening opened with Katie Burrell, Revelstoke's home grown comic who is now based in Vancouver. Burrell had an instant connection with the crowd, reminiscing about her years in Revelstoke. She admitting to likely owing Coopers hundreds of dollars for continuous sampling of the dried mangos, and compared women dating in Revy to hunting big game. Running onto the stage late after intermission, Burrell poked fun at herself for being out of breath from "running" and forgetting that she had been tasked with the job of pointing out fire exits to the crowd (she reminded us that despite her forgotten MC duties, we had indeed, all survived the first forty minutes without incident). It is clear Burrell is a beloved comic here and was well deserving of the laughs and claps she received during her acts.
Katie-Ellen Humphries's act followed Burrell's first introduction. Her pace was slower than Burrell's, and while funny, the comedian's material was not as easily relatable for the crowd. Jokes about yoga pants, Star Trek weddings, and eating a rotisserie human cooked to death in a sauna, garnered laughs, but the enthusiasm for the local gal overshadowed Humphries.
While Burrell was the city's sweetheart of the night, it was clear that headliner, Erica Sigurdson stood apart. Well known for her appearances on CBC Radio's smash-hit, The Debaters, Sigurdson elicited non-stop laughs from the audience. With a slightly deprecating sense of humour, Sigurdson joked about life after turning 40, squeezing into Spanx, and becoming a "mom" to her "Fridge Kid" (sponsored foster child) after a night of drinking alone. She interacted freely and easily with some audience members, pulling them into her act, gently teasing them just enough for laughs but not so much as to offend. By this, she revealed her ad lib talents and genius as a comic. In short, the crowd loved her. It is not surprising she was named Funniest Female Comedian at the Winnipeg Comedy Festival this year. Sigurdson is absolutely hilarious.
Burrell, Humphries, and Sigurdson waved together on stage at the end of the night. The audience cheered and whistled for these three exceptional comics and the successful performances they gave. Hats off to the Performing Arts Centre for hosting such talent.

After the popularity of not only The ONE, but also the other family expressions, The ONE Tawny Port and The ONE Oloroso, The Lakes Distillery have further created a brand new edition to their spirits family.
The Lakes Distillery has pushed boundaries, creating an entirely new concept in blended whiskies already with The ONE.
The multi award winning distillery creates whisky by searching far and wide to bring together a range of very special range of whiskies.
The ONE is a blend of over 18 different whiskies from distilleries across the British Isles, creating a perfectly balanced whisky.
The newest expression of The ONE is a Pedro Ximenez Cask finish and only 5,252 bottles have been released of the whisky.
Master Blender and Chief Whisky Maker, Dhavall Gandhi said "The palate is smooth and creamy with notes of vanilla, sun-dried raisins and nutmeg.
To produce The ONE Pedro X, whiskies of outstanding character are expertly blended by Dhavall Gandhi, creating a unique combination of flavours that reflect the passion, diversity and craftsmanship inherited across the British Isles.
The whiskies are then put to sleep in a Pedro Ximenez Sherry hogshead, a carefully crafted Spanish cask made from European Oak.
The hogsheads have been seasoned with sweet, dark sherry for a period of time before adding a new complex, yet unique flavour to The ONE.
Enjoy The ONE Pedro Ximenez neat, or with a few drops of water to release the subtle aromas and flavours of this outstanding whisky.


Equipping pastors to grow as leaders.
Through one-on-one mentors, we equip pastors to grow as leaders. The world has its definition and description of leaders, and too often the church calls men to be leaders who have been trained by the world. There is also a trend for ministers to be too passive in their leadership.
Through our mentoring process, we hope to define, develop, and deploy leaders in the church who then go and become leaders in the community.

Fruitvale Station: Melonie Diaz & Michael B. Jordan
By Meredith Alloway · July 20, 2013
The indie film has only been out for a week in limited release, and it is already gaining buzz. Fruitvale Station opens this weekend in wider release, and it couldn't be more perfect timing given the Zimmerman case and the turmoil it's caused in the country. Ryan Coogler, with this feature debut, explores the same issues. But instead of forcing his audience to pick a side, he instead brings us into the life of Oscar Grant, a young man who was shot by a cop at the BART Fruitvale Station back in 2008.
Michael B. Jordan plays Oscar, who's struggling to provide for his girlfriend Sophina (Melonie Diaz), daughter Tatiana and make his mother Wanda (Octavia Spencer) proud. Coogler allows us an intimate look inside the day of Oscar's death and an introduction to those closest to him.
Stars Jordan and Diaz sat down with a few others and I in LA. Honestly, I've never seen anyone so excited about being at a press day. But I wasn't surprised. Being involved in a film as powerful as this, the passion to promote is inevitable.
Are you guys exhausted? These past few months have been a whirlwind.
D: It's been pockets of concentrated hanging out time. It's exciting; every time we get together, we get to celebrate this movie. We made this movie for a penny.
J: And some duck tape.
D: And some duck tape and some passion. The fact that we're here talking to you fancy people makes me feel good.
J: It's been a cool journey since January, since Sundance.
The film received a standing ovation at Sundance! What was that like?
J: I didn't expect to get into Sundance! The standing ovation was overwhelming, at Cannes as well.
D: This movie creates a universal feeling of something.
J: It's bigger than the Bay. It's not just a community film. One thing I was concerned about, it was that people would look at the cast and think it was an ethnic film, but Cannes was a testament of it translating outside of the US. They were able to relate to it.
At what point did you talk to members of Oscar's family?
D: We sat down with Sophina first.
J: I had the opportunity to talk to Oscar's friends and Wanda as well.
D: We were driving to meet her, and we were like ok we're not going to ask her all these questions. It was more important for her to get to know us and know we have the best intentions and that we care about the story and Oscar as much as she does. I think Ryan, and Octavia included, were all really sensitive to that.
How did you capture [Oscar's] mannerisms?
J: I relied so much on talking to his friends and family. Ryan did a lot of the legwork too. He gave us a lot of information up front. Then it was understanding who he was, I couldn't imitate him. One day his daughter's going to watch this movie. It was added pressure.
D: Extreme added pressure. Sophina's still here. I was trying to get at the heart of the dynamic of their relationship. She knew him the best. When you love someone that deeply, you'll do anything for them. It was clear to me after speaking with her, the amount of love she had for Oscar was everything.
What does it mean to you creatively and professionally to be involved in something even though financially the awards aren't giant?
D: I've been doing independent films all my life. It's more about the work. If you do good work, those things will come. I'm just happy people are actually liking the movie! I can't believe we got bought!
J: I feel the same way. You're not going to get a payday. That's when you start making movies for the wrong reasons. You do things you care about and things you can speak passionately about and then all the other stuff will come down the line.
You all only shot for 20 days. Did you have prep time?
J: We had a lot of rehearsal. We had time to work on the script. After that, we tried to use every spare moment.
D: We cooked together!
J: I cooked!
D: I sat there drinking wine! I was chopping….barely. We went to a basketball game together!
J: We hung out! It was fun.
What was the hardest scene to shoot?
D: All the stuff in the BART Fruitvale station. It was by far the hardest thing I've ever done. I was crying from 6pm to 6am. It's heavy stuff.
J: I would have to agree. The dog was probably the second. It's tied for most emotionally stressful for me. People see the dog, and they automatically assume Ryan's trying to use this guy to save an animal to play on people's emotions. But it's not that at all. What a lot of people don't know about that scene is that when Oscar was locked up in jail, one of his friends died. Oscar finally had a chance to grieve. Why am I crying right now? It's just a dog. Sometimes when you grieve, it's when you least expect it.
How did the movie change you?
D: For me, I've been acting for a while and being in this movie itself it's like wow this is why we do what we do.
J: Being part of a bigger picture that will hopefully spark conversations and how we treat one another. If we can have people start questioning themselves and not be so quick to judge. I'm living with Oscar now. It takes some time to shake it off. It's one of the sacrifices actors make. Some of them stick with you more than others, and Oscar's someone I'm probably going to live with the rest of my life. Sometimes when I speak, I say things like I would, but kind of like he would too.

Q: Can I overload operators where the operands are functions? Is it possible to have overloaded operators in F# where the operands are functions?
For example (using Chessie):
module AsyncTrialOperators =
  type Ops=
    /// Left-to-right Kleisli composition
    static member (>=>) (f:'a -> AsyncResult<'b,_>, g:'b -> AsyncResult<'c,_>) =
      fun x ->
        asyncTrial {
        let! y = f x
        let! z = g y
        return z }

    /// Left-to-right Kleisli composition
    static member (>=>) (f:'a -> AsyncResult<'b,_>, g:'b -> Result<'c,_>) =
      fun x ->
        asyncTrial {
        let! y = f x
        let! z = g y
        return z }

  // Example usage (doesn't compile)
  let f x = ok x
  let g x = fail x

  let z = f >=> g

Gives the following error:
FS0043   Expecting a type supporting the operator '>=>' but given a function type. You may be missing an argument to a function.

A: It doesn't work, because Ops is not part of the arguments.
You can use the trick of moving one of the arguments to a lambda and then use the vacant argument to receive a dummy argument of the container type:
#r @"c:\packages\chessie.0.6.0\lib\net40\Chessie.dll"

open Chessie
open Chessie.ErrorHandling

type Ops=

    /// Left-to-right Kleisli composition
    static member (>=>) (_:Ops, g:'b -> Result<'c,_>) =
        fun (f:'a -> AsyncResult<'b,_>) x ->
            asyncTrial {
            let! y = f x
            let! z = g y
            return z }

/// Left-to-right Kleisli composition
    static member (>=>) (_:Ops, g:'b -> AsyncResult<'c,_>) =
        fun (f:'a -> AsyncResult<'b,_>) x ->
            asyncTrial {
            let! y = f x
            let! z = g y
            return z }

Then you can redefine >=> at global level:
let inline (>=>) x y = (Unchecked.defaultof<Ops> >=> y) x

But now you will realize that are passing the wrong arguments, f has to be of type AsyncResult<_,_>, since I'm not familiar with chessie I will use a Dummy function:
 let f x = Unchecked.defaultof<AsyncResult<int,int>>
 let g x = fail x

Now one more detail, to avoid the value restriction you'll have to add x on both sides:
let z x = (f >=> g) x

This will work, but I strongly advise you against this design.
If you ask me, overloading, specially at global level, has to follow some rules to be consistent. This kind of Ad-hoc overloading design a-la C# won't work well as you add more stuff, soon you'll get into situations where type inference doesn't know what do you want to do, or even the reader of your code.
If you want to use a generic (and well behaved) >=> have a look at the one defined in F#+

» NGO
Qatar Foundation: Helping children with specific needs thrive
Qatar Foundation's Ability Friendly Football Program started delivering classes in 2019, and, since then, has worked with more than 300 children with specific needs across the country.
Initially, the program started as community classes, quickly followed by the introduction of a school program, too, which saw the Ability Friendly Football Program team take the initiative out to the wider community and visit local Special Educational Needs schools and centers to provide children with more access to sports. Ryan Moignard, Senior ASD/Special Needs Football Specialist and Coach, Community Engagement, Qatar Foundation, said: "Over the last 12 months, many of our participants have progressed from small group classes to large group classes, with others graduating to mainstream programs. "Seeing the children develop is our overarching goal, as ultimately, through the Ability Friendly Football Program we are striving to help each and every one of our students fulfil their potential."
Naima, the parent of a child in the program, said: "They are a brilliant team who are warm, gentle, and compassionate individuals and deserve a lot of credit. "Yusuf loves them and they love Yusuf. It's clear from how they work they are passionate about what they do. As parents they have made us feel welcome and comfortable. We were a little concerned about Yusuf's hyperactivity, but they integrated Yusuf very nicely into the football sessions and he's gone from strength to strength. "Well done team and keep up the marvelous work. We deeply appreciate the effort you are doing for our son."
The program is continuing to grow, and this year introduced an educational arm, including disability awareness and coach education workshops. In February alone, 20 coaches from Generation Amazing – part of the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy – attended an awareness workshop. The next step will be the provision of ability specific workshops for the coaches, helping practitioners to become disability confident and equipping them with the skills and know-how to offer their own weekly community classes.
Mr. Moignard said: "The Ability Friendly Football Program has gone from strength to strength, and while we have had to suspend physical classes due to the coronavirus, we will begin running online support in the coming weeks. We are also developing other aspects of the program, such as designing strategies and crafting session portfolios. "Moving forward, one of our ambitions is to support Qatar in increasing the number of practitioners who can deliver classes, recruiting from different organizations from around the country.
"And our long term aim is to take the program to a global level, providing countries around the world with support from the Qatar Foundation team, ultimately helping more children with specific needs access sport. This will help create a long-lasting legacy of the program."

The inner ego, however, always identifies with its source-identity as a beloved individualized portion of the universe. It is aware of the universal love that is its heritage. It is also aware of the infinite power and strength that composes the very fabric of its being. Through being made aware of these facts, the exterior ego can begin to feel a quicker sense of support and nourishment. The knowledge can let it relax, let go, so that it feels its life couched and safe, and knows itself to be indeed a beloved child of the universe, both ancient and young at once, with an identity far beyond the annals of time.
It is of great value, then, that each person remember this universal affiliation. Such a reminder can often allow the inner self to send needed messages of strength and love through the various levels, appearing as inspiration, dreams, or simply pure bursts of feeling. The inner ego draws instant and continuous support from the universal consciousness, and the more the exterior ego keeps that fact in mind, the greater its own sense of stability, safety, and self-esteem.
To "let go" is to trust the spontaneity of your own being, to trust your own energy and power and strength, and to abandon yourself to the energy of your own life. The word "abandon" itself may strike some readers as particularly strong, but each element of nature abandons itself to the life-form. So does each atom of your body. To abandon yourself, then, to the power of your own life, is to rely upon the great forces within and yet beyond nature that gave birth to the universe and to you.
The will to live is also inbred into each element of nature, and if you trust your own spontaneity, then that will to be is joyfully released and expressed through all of your activities. It can also quite literally wash depression and suicidal tendencies away.
Those feelings do indeed encourage expression of consciousness, and release intuitive information that may otherwise be buried beneath tensions and fears. Such realizations have their own biological effects, stimulating all of the healing properties of the body—and also easily propelling the mind toward "higher" organizations, in which all of life's seeming inadequacies are understood to be redeemed.

You may have noticed but snow sports, whether it is skiing, snowboarding or monoskiing attracts people who like to look good, however they choose to get down the mountain. The advantage of monoskiing is that unless you fall over you can't real fail to look good because you aren't skiing with your legs 3 feet apart snowploughing across the slope. In addition, the position of your feet and the fact that you have ski poles means that you are far less likely to simply fall over when learning than on a snowboard. Quite simply you will look much cooler much quicker on a monoski. The video on our home page and others in our gallery should convince you of this. Oh and it's also fantastic fun!
The first monoskis were made back in the 1970s and it became quite popular in the 1980s and early 1990s, especially in the French alps with several thousand enthusiasts.
However, the range of monoskis available was limited and the technology not yet able to provide a great experience for many.
Snowboarding became the alternative to skiing due to the novelty factor and monoskiing declined.
There are clear signs now that snowboarding has peaked and is actually on the decline. Monoskiing technology has come a long way and is now accessible to a whole range of skiers and snowboarders looking for something different.
To be able to monoski couloirs and do somersaults - yes. However, to do this on a snowboard or on skis is also pretty tricky.
To reach a good competent level, it is actually far quicker than either skis or snowboards. One of the reasons for this is that you have 2 feet working together to undertake one action (i.e. turn).
With skis you have to make sure that both your feet work together but essentially have different roles to perform on every turn. If you get it wrong then you cross your skis and can easily fall.
In addition, unlike a snowboard you have your feet pointing forwards so your weight (even when leaning forward) cannot make you go head over heels as with a snowboard. In monoskiing if you fall, you tend to fall up the hill because you have judged the turn wrong.
How easy is it to get injured?
As with any way of getting down a mountain on slippery white stuff there is no guarantee that you won't injure yourself. However, the biggest danger is when one of your feet comes out of the bindings and the other doesn't, as with skiing.
However, with monoskiing you can guard against this by using the monostrap that ensures that your knees will remain together rather than being twisted by a binding. This strap is easily undone manually in lift queues if required but is an important safety feature and makes the chance of serious knee injuries extremely unlikely.
Even experienced monoskiers recommend using the strap.
The popularity of monoskiing is increasing all over the world but it will likely remain as a niche form of snowsports compared with skiing and snowboarding. That suits us just fine and whilst we want to spread the word of monoskiing and increase its popularity, the monoskiing community is something to savour. You only have to attend the annual Mondial de Monoski to get a feel for the enthusiasm amongst us.


Are Eco & Organic Fabrics Really More Expensive?
Buying Eco Friendly Fabrics is More Expensive!
Well the answer to this is a little bit yes and a big NO!
I'm not going to pretend that ethical and organic fabrics are the cheapest fabrics ever made, because to pay the producers a fair wage they simply won't ever be as cheap as chips. But we think you'll be surprised at how low organic fabric suppliers can keep their prices compared to other fabric big name fabric suppliers!
Besides the warm and fuzzy feeling you have knowing they've been sourced 100% ethically, crucially, with ethical textiles such as Organic and Fairtrade fabrics (no, these are NOT the same thing – which I will go into in my second "eco fabric myth busting" article next week), there is also a whole lot of craftsmanship involved and getting what you pay for. I see it all the time – sure you can get your £1/metre fabric, but it'll be a cheap and nasty viscose poly blend – and who on EARTH wants to wear or be anywhere near that?! Yuck. No thank you. We want to give you hand woven fabrics that have been hand spun and beautifully crafted by amazing artisans. And if they aren't made by artisans, but made in an Industrial factory instead (SA 8000 certified of course!) then you still get a fibre that's saved lives and a great quality fabric too.
100% (Non-Certified) Organic Cotton Azo-Free, Co-Op, Fair Trade Certified, Low Energy, Low Impact Dyes, Low Water, No Genetically Modified Crops, Organic (Uncertified), Sustainable, VOC-Free, Accredited by WFTO (World Fair Trade Organization).
That's pretty much half price!
Much cheaper to go Organic AND that includes shipping from FRANCE!
With the differences in width, length and postage these fabrics are practically the same price!
This is exactly the same fabric sold for nearly twice the price!
Ok, so a lot of us hate online shopping for fabrics, but with high street giants going out of business, it really is the smart move! With online organic fabric stores like us, our processes are much more streamlined and we don't have the hefty overheads that normal shops do . '…Why do I care?' I hear you cry! Well, I'll tell you why using a great example of these fabrics above. As you can see, they are exactly the same fabric, but as an online shop we can afford to sell it a little lower (well a LOT actually) than if we had a shop, and we can pass those savings on to our customers!
With just four examples, I've obviously only just scratched the surface here!
But if this doesn't convince you, you can save even more money by checking out Reclaimed Fabrics! You can pick up beautiful, end-of-rolls and off-cuts at jaw-dropping prices (although watch out if you're making samples and will need to pick up more metres later – chances are, there won't be any left). But the "eco" point behind reclaiming fabrics is to divert them from landfill – where they just sit and rot and all those nasty chemicals used to create them (blooming NON ORGANIC FABRICS!) seep into the ground and contaminate water supplies AND contribute to greenhouse gases. Urgh.
Hopefully you now see how being ethical in your fabric choices doesn't always break the bank! If you liked this article, I'd love if you'd sign up for our mailing list and I'll keep you up to date about any future articles.
Organic Fabric Saves Lives... Sure It Does.

In California will pay unemployment benefits to those who do not have the rights.
magictr | April 29, 2020 | News | No Comments
Unemployment, now in crisis COVID-19 available for self-employed California residents and other categories of people who traditionally are not eligible for assistance from state or state, reports KTLA.
Employees in California that are typically not eligible for unemployment benefits can now apply for financial assistance if they are affected by the crisis COVID-19, reported the official representative of the state on Monday, April 27.
The head of the Department of labor of the state of California Julie su announced Live on Facebook on the program of assistance in a pandemic unemployment (PUA), in accordance with which began to accept applications from people who are traditionally not eligible for unemployment benefits.
According to su, the program PUA is designed for those who are self-employed, business owners, independent workers, freelance workers, individuals with limited work experience and those who have exhausted their insurance benefits and unemployment benefits.
"We're going to pay the minimum amount automatically, then you will have time to confirm whether you had income; you can justify a higher income, which would justify exceeding the minimum amount of $167 per week in the framework of assistance in a pandemic unemployment, explained su. — As soon as you do, we will pay this greater amount retroactively."
Those who meet the criteria will receive $167 a week plus $600 for each week from 29 March to 25 July.
Benefits PUA in effect for 39 weeks and expire at the end of December. Su said that the information on the PUA was not yet available.
Candidates will be asked to self-declare your income for the year 2019. Su asked applicants to be patient about the process and said that in the process there are changes and improvements that will help with the overwhelming number of applications.
"Over the past four weeks during a pandemic coronavirus CA has received and processed more requests than in all of 2019, said su. I called the call centre to assess where we are and what we need to do better."
April 27 call centre of the Department of employment, began work in the new expanded 12-hour mode: staff take calls and handle application from 8:00 to 20:00.
For more information about PUA or to apply online, visit edd.ca.gov.

Mužská dvouhra MercedesCupu 2016 probíhala v první polovině června 2016. Do singlové soutěže tenisového turnaje nastoupilo dvacet osm hráčů. Obhájcem titulu byl španělský tenista Rafael Nadal, který do turnaje nezasáhl.

Čtvrtfinálovou výhrou nad Florianem Mayerem se Švýcar Roger Federer posunul na 2. místo statistik otevřené éry v počtu vítězných zápasů. Jednalo se o jeho 1 072 výhru, čímž o jeden zápas překonal Ivana Lendla. Na čele zůstával Američan Jimmy Connors s 1 256 vítězstvími. V semifinále však nevyužil dva mečboly proti Dominicu Thiemovi a odešel poražen.

Vítězem dvouhry se stal třetí nasazený a 22letý Dominic Thiem z Rakouska, jenž ve finále za 2:11 hodin porazil turnajovou domácí sedmičku Philippa Kohlschreibera po třísetovém průběhu 6–7, 6–4 a 6–4. Duel byl v neděli přerušen pro déšť a dohrával se v pondělí. V probíhající sezóně si tak připsal čtvrté turnajové vítězství, které představovalo sedmý singlový titul na okruhu ATP Tour. K částce 107 900 eur obdržel i vůz Mercedes-Benz SL 500.

Thiem tak měl po turnaji ze všech hráčů nejvíce – 45 vítězných zápasů v roce 2016 a jako první vybojoval tituly na všech třech površích: antuce, tvrdém i trávě. Tím se stal dvacátým devátým tenistou otevřené éry (od května 1968) a teprve devátým aktivním, kterému se tento výkon podařil v rámci jedné sezóny.

I quite enjoyed it. It looked like it was going to be a fun movie and a fun movie it was!
It was great. The ending conflict is a little meh, but everything up until then was quite enjoyable. Hopefully DC can make it happen more.
I really want to see it, but money is tight right now. i'm glad to hear it was good. been saying for years if they fucked this one up i'd be super pissed. shazam has been one of my favorites since around the first injustice game. maybe this movie will help him get a decent damn comic series going again.
Saw it a few days ago and thought it was pretty good as well.
There was one thing I was wondering near the end though.
The movie made it seem like the kids only got one aspect from Shazam's powerset.
The little girl got speed, Freddy got flight, the fat kid got strength, and the asian kid got lightning hands.
What did the older girl get?
Wait, which of those would give flight? Atlas maybe? I'm thinking she got either wisdom or stamina?
think they say it was mecury that granted flight. they where kind of stretching there but its what they went with. not sure if the movie mentions these things so idk if they changed anything but this how I recall it.
Still haven't seen Aquaman but I heard both of these were better than expected.
Maybe it's just a part of Zeus since I'm pretty sure he can fly. I think he's the only one in that list that can fly.
I recall hearing it was mecury though. just playing off his ability to get from place to place super fast I guess.
I think in new 52 he could fly too. he was shown like a humanoid bird man thingy. new 52 had weird designs for the greek gods period. Ares looked like a homeless drunk guy.
I saw the original back in the 90s with Shaq. No need to see this one.
I'm saving my money for the pikachu movie; so probably won't get to see Shazam until it either comes out on cable of a streaming service of some kind (the same with Aquaman). It looks enjoyable however from the trailers I've seen.
I kinda want to see it in theathres to help support it. i'll end up getting it on dvd too anyways. as said I hope to one day see him taken seriously in the comic books again.
Yeah, it was good. A good thing since we didn't have a good superhero movie in a while since infinity war.
That's included in a while.
