Legalized Marijuana: Lessons From the U.S. Experience - By Tim McCunn, Business Law Lawyer & Alicia Czarnowski, Articling Student - Publications | Newsroom | Perley-Robertson, Hill & McDougall LLP/s.r.l.
In December 2015, the Government of Canada announced in its Speech from the Throne that it would begin the process of legalizing and regulating recreational access to marijuana. Though the possession and selling of marijuana remains a criminal offence until a full legislative and regulatory regime is in place, a Task Force on Marijuana Legalization and Regulation has been assembled. This Task Force is to submit a report in November 2016 proposing a legal framework for the Cabinet to consider. The Government intends to introduce the new legislation in the spring of 2017.
In September 2016, two of Canada’s major banks announced that they would no longer be servicing cannabis-related companies. Scotiabank and RBC have officially begun closing accounts of customers that generate income from marijuana-related sources - including head shops that do not actually sell cannabis and companies that sell medical marijuana.
Both Scotiabank and RBC released statements attributing the policy shift to risk management in their business decision-making. Scotiabank did state that it would continue to monitor the situation, and could potentially change its position in the future. The other three major Canadian banks - TD, CIBC, and BMO - have yet to publicly take an affirmative stance in either direction.
The press has reported frequently on the U.S. experience, especially the seemingly unsettled legal status. The question often arises in our practice whether we will face similar issues in Canada. The short answer is that it appears that we will be able to avoid the U.S. experience although the issue is not free from doubt.
One reason why the situation is significantly different in the two countries stems in part from the fact that in the U.S. criminal law is a state matter while drug law is a federal matter. So while certain states have removed marijuana possession and its production, processing and sale from the criminal code, the U.S. Federal Government continues to prohibit marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act (“CSA”). In order to change the law, Congress would have to act, which is where the problem lies. Congress has not been able to act on this issue. Until it does, the response to the state initiatives has been one of enforcement. The U.S. Federal Department of Justice (“DOJ”) has taken the approach of issuing guidelines for federal prosecutors to use their “...limited investigative and prosecutorial resources to address the most significant threats…” on certain “enforcement” priorities. At the very top of that list is preventing the distribution of marijuana to minors and preventing revenue going to criminal enterprises, gangs and cartels. Also included is the prevention of allowing the product to move across state lines. These guidelines have been issued by DOJ and then updated four (4) times: 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2014. The issues addressed in these updates: firstly: medical marijuana; second: commercial marijuana; and thirdly: financial crimes and marijuana. This article focuses on the last issue: financial crimes.
The federal financial statutes in question are the money laundering statutes, the unlicensed money remitter statute and the Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”). The 2014 guidelines confirm that financial transactions involving proceeds generated by marijuana-related conduct can form the basis for prosecution under all three sets of statutes because proceeds from marijuana may be viewed as proceeds of a “specified unlawful activity” being in violation of the CSA. Nevertheless, the guidelines also reiterate the enforcement priorities in exercising “prosecutorial discretion” so that federal prosecutors should exercise their discretion by only processing those crimes that offend the enumerated enforcement priorities. On the same date as the DOJ 2014 guidelines were issued, the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“DOT”) issued similar guidelines. Although taking the same approach as the DOJ (listing enforcement guidelines) it goes on to place considerable due diligence requirements on financial institutions that have customers engaged in the marijuana business. Financial institutions must report any “suspicious activity” that include any violation of the enumerated “enforcement priorities”. The DOT guidelines caution against willful blindness to such activity by failing to conduct appropriate due diligence of a customer’s activities. The response from many financial institutions is to simply discontinue servicing such customers as the best mitigator of any risk of prosecution.
As noted above, Canada does not appear to be in danger of going through the U.S. experience primarily because the main regulator is the federal government. Both countries are federations with two levels of government but while the U.S. experience is state driven (and the federal law is difficult to change), in Canada the proposal is from the federal government and the main legislative responsibilities are federal (i.e. criminal law and drug law). Although provinces will have some jurisdiction, it appears unlikely that we will find ourselves in the sort of legal no-man’s land that the U.S. finds itself.

Cream of Rice Wonder Cake | Can't Believe It's Allergy Free!
My daughter can’t have dairy..vani use oat milk instead and add some sa than gum for binding?
Sorry for the delay in answering your question, Meghana. You can use xanthan gum or guar gum for binding…just use very little. For a one cup quantity, use only 1/3 tsp xanthan gum. Oat itself has some stickiness, so use an added quantity of oatflour in my basic gluten free flour recipe…add an extra cup to the entire mix.
Do tell me how it works. All the best.
Hello Mam, waht can i subsitute OAT with? My son has wheat/gluten allergy.
Please add corn starch (corn flour) in place of oats. In some countries, gluten free oats are available, but if you are not sure, then it is safer to stay with corn starch. Best of luck!
Thank you for your response. He is allergic to Corn as well..Can I add Potato starch?
Sorry for this late response, I must have overlooked your mail. Please substitute oat flour with corn starch.
Is semolina gluten free? The version I have at home is made from wheat. I have not been able to find the cream of rice and was wondering what to substitute it with.
Sorry for the delay in answering your question. Semolina is “rava” or “sooji”. You have to specifically look for rice semolina…in other words, ‘cream of rice’. In India you should buy rice rava made from good quality rice. In the US I prefer to buy the packaged Cream of Rice as it is great quality and not cross contaminated in any way. Idli rava will not do as it may include boiled rice, which will not work well in a baked dish. Perhaps you can coarse grind good rice at home. Do try and give3 me a feedback. All the best!

The right is looking pretty pathetic.
They seem to be mired in fear, hate and loathing.
It's pretty plain their policy all revolves around making the rich richer while screwing everybody else. They serve the powerful. And propaganda is their currency.
The right vs the left is increasingly looking like fear vs facts.
Will the right be able to regain respect?
Can they ever again present reasonable compassionate leadership for all the people?
For them to do that, the Republicans will have to nominate somebody besides Trump in 2020.
That means as the right struggles to overcome using fear as a political weapon, they will have to become fearless enough to stand up to the big bully in the WH.
My, don't we live in interesting times?
Climate change is a world problem.
Propaganda is a problem for the right because people are getting smarter.
I've met some young kids who are incredibly smart.
The future belongs to the intelligent, not the bullies.
I forgot Russia Russia Russia!!!!!!!!!
And you know Russia is far larger than the USA, has many more resources and people. But Russia has not prospered like the USA because it is controlled by bullies.
We have to have a political system which is not dominated by bullies.
Russia's population is less than half that of the US I know.
...but it will require a GREAT DEAL MORE than just standing up to Donald Trump.
Donald Trump is a reflection of what the American right has become. He is NOT an aberration.
Global warming is real and deplorables was a simple comment Hillary made once.
This thread is delusional, for the most part. Btw, Russia has a GDP about the size of Spain's. Further, it is an undeniable fact that the United States of America is the world's main aggressor.
The very idea that the "left" is immune to propaganda is absurd. Anyone who believes otherwise is, well, propagandized.
I never attempted to establish that anybody is immune to propaganda. We can certainly see that by looking at how well President Trump's lies work on the uneducated.
The only ones who are in fear, hate , and loathing ..... Are you liberal Trump haters !
You are all insane !
Thanks for providing an example of the OP contention.
Sounds like something a bot would say.
Real people who want to save the planet are only being logical. Real people wish to leave a planet in which our children and grandchildren can have all the opportunity that we did. President Trump stands in the way of saving the planet. He is only making the rich richer. He is USING FEAR to get uneducated people to hate immigrants. The real culprits are the greedy rich who are using wealth extraction to make life difficult for the rest. Then they hire a demagogue like Trump to get unsuspecting followers to direct their hatred at immigrants. That's how the greedy rich get away with wealth extraction and get deplorables to vote for Republicans to cut taxes for the rich.
Fact: Most immigrants simply want to work and contribute to our economy. They are less likely to be arrested than American Citizens are. President Trump's propaganda tells deplorable people they should be afraid of immigrants and hate them. Right wing pundits tell listeners to LOATH liberals, when the FACT is that liberals are your fellow citizens and this nation could not survive without liberals.
Vasquezrocks, you have come on a little strong. If you can conduct a conversation without making insults I would like to discuss this with you. But if you are only interested in venting your anger at liberals then you will be ignored and thread banned forever. Can you tone it down and just talk without the hatred?
Pro America. That is why leftys don't like Trump. He is a childish name calling corrupt person who should not have won. His corruption will be exposed and he will flee pardoning everyone he can. The Repubs could have done better by picking any other Repub in the debates. His people started stealing on the inauguration ceremony and has been feeding at the troth ever since. Trump has put lobbyists in charge of agencies He has put corporate chiefs in charge of the agencies that used to regulate them so they could cripple them. You voted for it.
ANOTHER Rightie...ANOTHER fear based attack.
Justifiable homicide, or fear-based crime?
What is the difference between Indian Politics & American Politics ?

Village.Photos is part of a family of photography hosting services created and managed by MarketAmp. Village.Photos acts as the primary hosting platform for several other websites, including the Snap the Planet photography community and ShutterForge Photography Website Hosting.
Village.Photos does have an API (SOAP) available if you're interested in integration your website or platform with our image hosting services.
Village.Photos is primarily an Image Host. We provide space for users to store photos on the internet, and a variety of methods to share those photos with others.
Providing that service, while making it fast and easy, is our primary focus - our mission. While we will provide additional related features to image hosting, such as social media features, image hosting will always be the most important aspect of our service.
Another focus is helping our members be discovered. Therefore our site is highly Search Engine Optmized, and feeds to multiple search engines. You have final control over the meta tags and meta description that is coded into each album and image. Unless you choose otherwise, in most cases your images and content will be indexed by Google within a few days.
We provide blogging features as well - which can be a great boost to your content, and search engine indexing.Our authoring features are in their early stages, but many more features are coming soon.
While we constantly work to improve our service, this list may not be comprehsive, but will include significant features you may be looking for.
Unique visitor view tracking on each image.
Share/Publish your photos to Facebook with ease.
Original image files are stored intact, without change. For optimal viewing, a scaled, compressed version of the image is used for web display. In most cases, even on large hi definition monitors, you won't be able to tell the difference.
Manage all album photos quickly in one place - name, description, tags, purchase availability and other settings for all album images on the "Manage Album Images" page.
Direct Linking - URL's provided for directly embedding your image on other sites.
A variety of album and image security settings - Public, Private, Password Protected, and Mature Content.
Member avatars - use your own, or your Facebook profile picture if you connect using Facebook.
During the initial launch period of Village.Photos, begininning October 31st, 2014, we are not restricting storage, direct linking, or bandwidth.
After the launch period ends, approximately 3 months from October 31st, 2014, we will put in place certain storage limits. We do not anticipate usage (bandwidth restrictions), except in the cases where usage appears to be excessive, abusive or malicious. These limits are purely put in place to keep performance high for all users.
For users who have created their account during the initial launch period, and added a significant amount of content, future restrictions will not trigger any content to be removed.
We reserve the right to remove any content that we consider inappropriate for the general public. The final decision remains completely in our hands, although in most cases we won't take such action without communication with the user first. In most cases, making an album private, or password-protected, will be sufficient.

While you’re stopping to smell the flowers this May, you might want to admire some sweet sales, too.
Here’s everything you should buy (and skip) during the month of May.
We recommended holding off on major household purchases until May. That’s because Memorial Day is a great time to buy indoor furniture, patio furniture and even mattresses at discounted prices.
Last year, J.C. Penney discounted select furniture styles by up to 50%, while Crate & Barrel offered a promo code good for 15% off select items.
This year, Memorial Day is on May 30, but sales often begin at least a week earlier. In fact, some retailers are already gearing up. For instance, Overstock is inviting shoppers to register their email addresses so they’ll be notified about Memorial Day sales .
Remember that some prices are automatically reduced — as was the case at J.C. Penney in 2015 — but other sales require consumers to input a coupon code at checkout.
We suggest making electronics purchases in November, when prices on laptops, tablets, gaming consoles and other electronics are usually at their lowest, thanks to Black Friday events. Last year, a handful of major stores sold video game console bundles for just $299.
While you’re outfitting your home with a new sofa, chair or table at Memorial Day sales, check out the coffee makers, blenders and other small kitchen appliances, too.
Look for discounts at department stores, such as Macy’s, Kohl’s, J.C. Penney and Kmart, as well as at home and kitchen specialty stores.
Last year, Macy’s offered up to 20% off select kitchen items, and Williams-Sonoma handed out savings of up to 60%. We also saw plenty of free shipping offers for orders above a certain threshold.
Apple recently released its 4-inch iPhone SE. This announcement might have you itching for an upgrade, but hold off for a few more months.
Rumors suggest that the tech company will be unveiling a brand new iPhone 7 at its annual keynote event in September. If that pans out, prices on previous iPhone models at Apple and third-party retailers are likely to drop.
See how September plays out before you spend hundreds on a new cell phone and cell phone plan .
Clothing sales are a given each May. Now that warm-weather styles have been on shelves for a few months, you can expect retailers to bring down prices.
Our best advice for finding these deals? First, check retailers’ sale sections or clearance racks both in-store and online. Then register for your favorite clothing store’s email list — it might send you exclusive deals. Finally, fill your cart with sale-priced shirts and shorts while you’re getting that KitchenAid mixer and coffee table on Memorial Day.
May 4 is “Star Wars” Day, and you’ll be feeling the force when you see the “Star Wars”-themed deals and discounts that come on this day each year. Whether you’re a supporter of Luke Skywalker or a fan of Darth Vader, you’ll see sales on merchandise featuring your favorite character.
Last year, we spotted price cuts on apparel inspired by the movie series, video games and more. If prior years are any indication, we expect savings at outlets including Amazon and the Disney Store.

There was a time when we used to take help of paint for taking a screenshot. It was a lengthy process where you need to press “Prntscr” button and then open paint and press “Ctrl+v” to take a screenshot. While making screenshots for your blog posts, many times you need to mark something with arrows and other shapes which should look attractive.
No matter, if you are a blogger or a content writer or you are making a presentation, taking a screenshot becomes necessary. Taking a screenshot saves a lot of time and effort. Instead of noting down all the details one by one, just take the screenshot and save it. It is simple and a complete hassle free process but, only if proper screenshot tool is used.
When it comes to a screen capture tool, there is large number of tools available in the market. Most of them are either paid or lack some important features. However, there is one screenshot tool which is full of features and free to use. We are talking about Greenshot, a free screenshot tool which makes taking a screenshot as easy as it can be. The tools it offers are well enough to make attractive screenshots.
It allows creating a screenshot of a selected part or full screen. It can also be used to capture a complete web pages screenshot from Internet Explorer.
It offers a large number of editing options.
Screenshots taken by Greenshot can directly be printed, attached to an email and can be uploaded to websites like Flickr.
Greenshot can easily be downloaded from its official website. It is easy to install and takes a little time in setting up. The best thing about Greenshot is that it makes “PrntScr” key as the default key for taking screenshots. If you are already using a screenshot tool, Greenshot will ask to assign a key for taking screenshots. It can easily be done in the settings menu.
Once you are done with installation of the Greenshot, you need to use the hotkey “PrntScr” for taking a screen shot. This key is placed at the just above the backspace and behind the delete button. Now, if you are planning to take a screenshot, press “PrntScr”. It will show you few lines with a magnifying circle for taking the screenshots.
It also shows you the dimensions of the screenshot so that you can take the screenshot as per the needs.
It offers many features during saving the screenshot. As soon as you finish with taking the screenshot, Greenshot asks you to whether you want to save it as any specific location or a preselected location. It also asks for the opening the screenshot in its own editor or sending the screenshot for print. The screenshot can also be opened in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Paint, and Outlook and can also be copied to the clipboard. It can even be uploaded on to the Imgur.
Pressing “Ctrl+PrntScr” or “Alt+PrntScr” or “Shift+PrntScr” allows you to take the screenshot of the full screen. You can open the screenshot in the editor if you want to edit the screenshot.
Greenshot offers a very useful and powerful editor that can be used for making perfect screenshots. The below screenshot is taken and edited by the Greenshot editor and you can see the large variety of editing features offered by the free screenshot tool, Greenshot.
Greenshot is certainly the best free screenshot tool that offers few of very useful features. It is easy to use and can be used to take screenshots and edit them without any hassle. It can improve your work productivity and is a must have tool. Currently, it is available for Windows only but, soon it will be available for all major platforms.
We daily use PrintScreen. Thanks for sharing this info with us, that’s a great and useful tool.
You’ve introduced a nice & useful tool for us.
As of now, I’m using Awesome Screen Shot to take screenshots for my blog posts. But, few days back, I’ve heard that it is stealing out data. So, I thought to use some other tool to get screen shots.
Now, you’ve revealed the impressive features of Greenshot and well explained on how to use it. I’ll try it for sure!
I too used Awesome screenshot but Greenshot is better and having great features. That is why I have started using this tool only.
Thanks for sharing this amazing tool with us.
Although we use PrintScreen in our daily life but the quality reduces a bit and I think this tool will help a lot in getting good quality Screenshots.
Just try this tool and I am sure you will not regret of using it.
Thanks a lot for shearing this amazing post with us.
Even if we tend to usage PrintScreen within day nonetheless good cuts down on a tiny bit not to mention in my opinion this unique system can certainly help very much through buying premium Screenshots.
Even if you used this tool, you will have to press screenshot and it will open with a selector… select and it will take you to the editor where you may edit the screenshot to make it perfect.
Glad you liked it Ethan!
I normally hit print screen and it gets automatically saved to my Dropbox account and then I edit it to my liking. I think I’ll give this method a try and see if it takes. Thanks for the info mate.
This is a true alternative Atish bro.Gonna try itfast.
msg this msg again and again!
What to do i need to restart and check right?
Till now I am using same old style to get the screenshots for my articles, but the quality of image is missing in old style but, I don’t know how the screenshot quality comes with Greenshot, ok, I will try and find out, thank you very for introducing new tool to me.
See yo soon with another article.
Its good to know of this awesome tool – Greenshot. I always wanted to have tool that will enable me save and edit the screenshot taken with the PrintSC button. Thankfully, it seems like this tool has the features I want! I am downloading and will try it out!
I have been using GS for quite some time,and I like it.The only thing is the tooltray icon disappears occasionally,and the only way I can get it back is rebooting the computer.GS doesn’t have a help section yet,so I am left to my own devices.Funny thing is when I hit Crt-Alt-Del,GS is shown as running.
It looks strange. Go to Greenshot’s preferences and check the box says “Launch Greenshot on startup”. I think it may solve the issue. I have got the problem once, but I did it, and since then it is working well.
Thanks for coming by Mike. Enjoy the weekends.
Thanks,Atish,but I just checked,and GS IS set to launch on startup.The problem is that after I use it a few times,the GS icon disappears from the tool tray.This happens on a random basis.Some days,it behaves normally,and is there all day.
Maybe there is any issues with your Windows? Or try reinstalling GS, and see if it solves the issue.
Thanks,Atish.I will reinstall GS.I think I tried that before,but I will do it again. Like I said before,some days GS works perfectly.Very frustrating!
Hmm! 😛 Try using some other tool then ha ha. There are many screenshot tools available.
Hi Atish. I used to use Faststone Capture before,but dropped it when it was no longer freeware.I want a freeware product that ideally does scrolling capture. At work,I use Snagit ,but even that is super slow doing a scrolling capture. I have pinned Snipping Tool to my taskbar for when GS goes down.Thanks for your great suggestions,Happy New Year!
Did you try Awesome screenshot chrome extension? That works good too.
Hi Atish: I mainly use Firefox,although I sometimes use Chrome,Aviator or Opera as well,and I found an Awesome Screenshot FF add-on. It captures the entire page,even a scrolling one,which is perfect! I don’t recall hearing about Awesome Screenshot before. Many thanks.
Awesome! You finally found the solution.

Now that Matt and I are officially back in Connecticut it’s funny to find that residents either LOVE it here or to put it politely, are patiently counting down the days, until they can leave. With each passing week, I see more young adults leaving to pursue careers in Boston as older adults simultaneously fly south to Florida for warmer weather. Leaving Connecticut feeling like a ghost town, more now than ever. Which brings me to the look Matt and I receive when we tell neighbors, friends new and old, and acquaintances that we left Dallas Texas for Connecticut.
With so much to do in neighboring cities, I see why it’s tempting to leave but for some reason, Matt and I feel like we are exactly where we belong. To this day, I’m still finding new restaurants, coffee shops, and photo locations; to explore and I often can’t help but snap a picture or two if the lighting is right. Getting you all excited about what Connecticut has to offer always makes me happy. Not to mention getting to share the small businesses that foster community, high-quality products and bring something unique to the residents of our state. Anyway, in 2019 I want to spend more time featuring the local spots we love, in hopes of inspiring visitors or locals to discover them for themselves.
Story and Soil Coffee in Hartford Connecticut is a cozy little cafe located on Capitol Avenue in Harford. At first glance, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but I knew this place already had my stamp of approval from its billiards green statement storefront. Once we found the coffee shop we quickly saw a public parking lot just up and across the street, a big plus since I’m not a very good parallel parker. Anyway, we parked the car, bundled up and ran into the shop to enjoy a nice warm cup of rose tea and a giant chocolate chip cookie.
We spent a good amount of time in the coffee shop, celebrating some exciting news and enjoying each sip of our teas. To be honest, I was stunned at the constant foot traffic coming in and out of this Hartford coffee shop. From young adults who were obviously regulars to families enjoying marshmallow filled hot cocoa; I could feel the sense of community and warmth from my short time visiting.
All and all, this cafe is fairly priced for being in a city and right of Route 84, making it an easy in and out, spot. I’m really looking forward to going back and I can’t wait to continue to spotlight some new restaurants and coffee shops as I discover them throughout 2019.
Story & Soil! Seriously! You were just across the street from where I work. Wish I had of known. I would have run over and introduced myself!
It’s funny, I feel the exact same way. My boyfriend and I were raised in Connecticut, I went to college in Rhode Island, and then we moved together to Maine for a year, before returning back. We knew this is where we wanted to be long-term. I think Connecticut has WAY more to offer than people realize. Between the shoreline, cute small towns, museums, and (best of all, in my opinion) close proximity to everything else in the northeast, what more could you want? I just love being at the center (approximately) of New England, where each state or city is only a few hours away, including NYC!
This place looks adorable! I love finding new local coffee shops because they usually have the BEST coffee!! Love this outfit too! It looks so winter chic!

Since you and Mrs. Salvo are busy packing for a week's vacation I'd better hasten to send you some hasty notes on my recent researches.
Just the other day I noticed an anomaly: The Christmas pelicans in a dazzling upward spiral above Sea Cliffs were doing what they do every year, but a couple of months early. As you and I know, the white pelican winters on the Bay, and summers on northern lakes and sounds. Thus far my office has received no news of other sightings, and no letters offering to explain this phenomenon.
Even stranger was a ground or rug level observation I recently made in your boudoir. I was making a routine check of our flea traps, noting that as usual a small number of ticks, flies, and mosquitoes had also been dispatched by this deadly device. Suddenly my eyes registered a black heap lying motionless in one corner of no particular shape. A closer inspection revealed the body of a small black bat. "Prey what is the meaning of this?" as the son inquired of Father William. How did it get in the house? Is it a sign? Is it/was it dangerous?
Also, I've been finding yellow wing feathers from the Yellowhammer, blue ones from the Bluejay, and a large fluffy one that must have come from one of our Barred Owls (and they've been rather loud recently, both day and night). What do they signify, if anything?
By the way, Boss, I recently overheard your conversation with an eminent ornithologist and photographer. He brought up a strange behavior trait of the Yellowhammer called "anting." Never heard of it, and could not find it in our bird books. What is it? What about that bat?
First, the bat. It was a great relief when it turned up in the flea trap. Up to that point I'd been convinced it was a hallucination. Of thy hypnogogic or hypnopompic type. Normal, I repeat normal people can see or hear things that aren't there, when falling asleep or when beginning to awaken. But this bat was too real to be unreal. One night about mid-night I was reading in bed and a small, swift black shadow made a soundless circle of the bedroom. I swung at it with a pillow as it headed for the bed. Then it disappeared, and I noticed I had gooseflesh. I got up and checked all the doors and windows, as well as fireplace to see if he had flown down a chimney. I found no way this bat had gotten in and that part remained unsolved. The bat's exit from this world was at least understandable: When I turned off my reading lamp, the only light left in that part of the house was the small bulb whose dim glow attracted fleas onto the poisoned surface of the flea trap. I suspect the bat made a pass at that light (the way they do), came too close and broke his neck. Why his sonar system did not protect him from this fatal collision, I can't say. Anyway it was just as well -- the bat would have starved with no flying prey in the house.
Why the gooseflesh? I think human beings are born with an anxious or phobic aversion to bats, rats, snakes, and large cats such as panthers and larger. There are of course reasons to be addressed, but with no necessary validity. My reason about the bat is an article in the New Yorker about forty years ago. It recounted how a man in Pennsylvania was bitten by a bat while having a beer (the man, not the bat) in a dimly lit tavern on the Susquchanna. It turned out the bat had rabies and worse still, further study of bats' revealed that they were a major reservoir of the rabies virus. I believe the raccoon had already been fingered as the other chief carrier of rabies in the wild.
The conversation you partly overheard was about flickers or yellowhammers, and how they like to eat ants. My birdy friend volunteered another peculiarity of this handsome bird: anting. I gathered that the flicker dustbathes like other birds to rid itself of parasites. But in addition it will go through some other antics (no pun intended) such as gathering a beakload of ants and rubbing them all over its plumage, or all the feathers it can reach. Then it does or does not conclude its ablution by eating the ants. I should have taken notes.
Nobody knows why the flicker does this, but some speculate that the ants' formic acid has a discouraging effect on mites, fleas, parasites in general. I myself believe he does it for the same reason people use perfume or shaving lotion: He imagines it makes him fatally attractive!
Tim, on that happy note I will conclude. Two questions are enough. Besides, you know as much as I do about those white pelicans.
I'm off to a 53rd reunion. Pray for me.

Working with our clients, Persimmon Homes (Thames Valley) Ltd and Vortal Properties Ltd, we have secured a resolution to grant full planning permission for 35 new homes, with public open space and a community car park, in Ashford Hill, Hampshire. The site, currently agricultural land, is next to the defined settlement boundary.
The Council’s planning officers and the members of the Planning Committee were satisfied that the application successfully addressed a number of planning issues. These included the site’s location on land outside of the defined settlement policy boundary, loss of agricultural land, housing land supply within the borough, ecology, highways, and being contrary to the local Village Design Statement. The officer recommended the application for approval to the Planning Committee. Following debate, and a tied vote being resolved by the Chair, the committee resolved to approve the application.

Physics picks its favorite stories from 2015.
Wishing everyone an excellent 2016.
Weird as it is, quantum mechanics says that measuring one particle in an entangled pair determines the state of its distant partner. Although this notion is widely accepted today, Einstein famously opposed it, proposing instead that each particle in the pair carries with it all the information needed to determine a measurement’s outcome. Three groups put to rest any doubts that this “local realism” hypothesis might be right (see Viewpoint: Closing the Door on Einstein and Bohr’s Quantum Debate). Performing a so-called Bell test that was free of questionable “loopholes,” scientists at NIST in Boulder, Colorado, and at the University of Vienna, Austria, showed that entangled photons have correlations that exceed the values local realism predicts. Researchers at the Delft University of Technology, Netherlands, found a similar violation by analyzing entangled electron spins. The experiments cap years of increasingly sophisticated Bell tests and lay the groundwork for secure quantum cryptography schemes.
The Large Hadron Collider Beauty Collaboration (LHCb) marked the 20th anniversary of its inception with an unexpected gift: the observation of two pentaquarks (see Viewpoint: Elusive Pentaquark Comes into View). These new particles contain four quarks and an antiquark and are the first five-quark composites to have been detected. LHCb was studying the decay of a bottom-quark particle known as the Λb baryon when the discovery was made. The long lifetime of this baryon, compared to others produced in LHC’s proton-proton collisions, made it possible to spot the pentaquark among the collision debris. The new pattern of quarks presents a unique opportunity to test models of the complex forces that bind quarks together.
X-ray crystallography is the main method for determining the structure of biomolecules. But it requires crystallized samples, which aren’t always available. Imaging single molecules without the need of a crystal is one of the top goals of x-ray free-electron lasers, the brightest x-ray sources currently available. Researchers used the intense pulses from the XFEL at SLAC National Laboratory to obtain the first image of the 3D structure of a single virus (see Viewpoint: X-Ray Imaging of a Single Virus in 3D). By combining hundreds of diffraction patterns from randomly oriented single viruses, the authors were able to reconstruct the electron density of the interior of the mimivirus, one of the largest known viruses. This proof of principle experiment opens the door to studying smaller pathogenic viruses like HIV, herpes, or influenza.
Our view of the Universe is partially obstructed by giant clumps of dark matter that distort the appearance of distant galaxies. But astronomers aren’t complaining. Instead they use this gravitational effect (lensing) to spot where dark matter is. The Dark Energy Survey (DES) in Chile is one such observational campaign. Analyzing a 139-square-degree region of the Southern sky, the DES team released the largest contiguous map of dark matter (see Viewpoint: Sky Survey Casts Light on the Dark Universe). They inferred the presence of dark matter clumps by measuring a slight elongation in the shapes of nearby galaxies. The DES is on its way to complete a much larger map (about 1/8 of the full sky), with which they will measure the pace of the cosmic acceleration—an effect caused by the mysterious dark energy.
In 1929, the German mathematician Hermann Weyl published a simple equation that predicted a new kind of fermionic particle with zero mass. No fundamental particles fitting the description of a “Weyl fermion” have ever been found. But analogues to the fermions have been theorized to exist as electronic excitations in a hypothetical solid—a Weyl semimetal. Two experimental groups, at Princeton and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, discovered that tantalum-arsenide is such a solid (see Viewpoint: Where the Weyl Things Are). Using photoemission, they showed that electron energy bands on the material’s surface have the characteristic arc shape expected for Weyl semimetals. A group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found Weyl-like states for microwaves in a photonic crystal. Because Weyl fermions behave like massless particles, researchers speculate they might be useful as information carriers in high-speed electronic devices.
Photons have been used to securely transmit quantum encryption keys over more than 300 kilometers of optical fiber. Ultimately, light attenuation limits how far a fiber can transmit a signal without degrading its quantum properties. But satellite-to-Earth links might soon open new frontiers for quantum communication. Researchers from the University of Padua and the Matera Laser Ranging Observatory, both in Italy, demonstrated that qubits encoded in photons can preserve their fragile quantum properties even after a round trip to satellites located more than one thousand kilometers away from Earth (see Viewpoint: Sending Quantum Messages Through Space). The authors encoded qubits in the photons’ polarization and sent them to five satellites that bounced the light back to Earth. After the long journey, different qubit states could be distinguished reliably enough for viable quantum protocols.
Physicists were able to make “electron-like” atoms sit still for a photo. Images of single atoms cooled and trapped by lasers had been taken before, but only using bosons. Fermionic atoms, which have the same spin as electrons and other fundamental particles, have proved harder to cool and assemble into optical traps. Three independent teams, one at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, one at Harvard University, and one at the University of Strathclyde in the UK, got fermionic atoms to “say cheese” (see Synopsis: Quantum Microscope Images Fermionic Atoms). The basic idea is to use lasers that both cool and image at the same time. Having this imaging capability is important for quantum simulations, in which the interactions between the fermionic atoms can be tuned to simulate, for instance, strongly correlated electrons in superconductors and colossal magnetoresistance materials.
One of the most popular physics videos of 2015 showed that balloons burst in two distinct ways (see Focus: Two Modes of Balloon Bursting Revealed). The video was shot by physicists from the École Normale Supérieure (ENS) in France, who reported that balloons pop with a single crack when the internal gas pressure is below a certain threshold; above this threshold, they pop by forming many cracks radiating from the puncture point. Based on balloon-bursting videos and analysis of the rubber fragments, the researchers explained that at high pressures, single cracks can't propagate fast enough to release the high tension in the rubber. Instead, multiple cracks form to allow a more rapid tension release. The results may also apply to fast fragmentation of other materials, such as glass or rocks.

Found the Genesee Junction turntable pit, then rode the Genesee Valley Greenway from Scottsville to Piffard!! 36 miles of grassy goodness. With not one, not two, but THREE crossing railroad abutments: the Lehigh, the New York Central, and the Erie's Attica Branch. Plus Lock 5 of the Genesee Canal. And the branch line to Retsof. And the branch line to Garbutt. (Yesterday was pretty good too; nine RR bridges, one Canalway ride, and both the Lehigh North and the Lehigh South). But today was FAR better. Oh, and I forgot to mention the former Genesee Canal aquaduct over the Black Creek, which became the Pennsy bridge, which is now the Genesee Valley Greenway bridge. Two arches; three bridges in one! Oh, and the Lehigh bridge over the Genesee River, which has been converted into a pedestrian/bicycle/horse bridge. See? Best day EVAR!

By removing the tub, we were able to add space to a once crowded toilet area, add a large shower, and replaced old shower area with a brand new linen closet. Subway tile was used for this nice shower and ceramic tile was installed for the must-have shampoo caddy. A unique feature in this remodel is the floor. We installed porcelain tile that has a wood grain pattern on the floor giving it such a nice clean and natural look. New cabinets were added and we installed built-in medicine cabinets right on the mirror. The homeowner wanted the nice clean look of a frameless shower door but still wanted some nostalgia by adding lever fixture handles for the sink.

Epoxy flooring for concrete offers a tremendous variety of color combinations. First, you have the base coat that covers the concrete. That’s your first color option. Then comes the choice of adding flakes, micas or granules onto the epoxy. These all have their own specific properties and come in solitary colors or color combinations. Finally, a clear topcoat seals everything together and protects your floor from scratching, stains, and wear.
Color flakes are solid chips of color that add contrast to your base color. You can also use set combinations of color flakes or design your own combination. With color flakes it’s easy to match a wall color or to design a garage or other space to match team colors, company colors, you name it!
Color micas add sparkle to a floor and really make it shine! Think of the way that natural granite reflects sunlight, and you have the effect from mica. The ancient Mayans prized the decorative qualities of mica, adding it to the stucco on some of their temples to provide a lustrous effect. You can use this same technique by adding mica flakes of one color, or in color combinations, to your epoxy flooring.
Color granules are sandy particles that add texture to the otherwise glossy topcoat. This is essential for installations that see a lot of grease, water or other slippery substances. Granules also add grip to sloping floors and any area where slips and falls are potential hazards. Granules are available in solid colors or pleasing color combinations.
Visit our individual pages devoted to flakes, micas and granules to learn more and to see your many choices. If you don’t see a color you would like to use on our website, ask us about other options. Manufacturers are constantly updating their offerings and the combination you want can likely be ordered to your satisfaction.

Have you seen this type of fruit before? Well, this is an exotic fruit called Cempedak. It’s popular in Southeast Asia, particularly in Malaysia. The size of the Cempedak fruit is much smaller than the more well known Jackfruit. The texture of the Cempedak flesh is soft, sweet, and has a strong aroma. They can be eaten fresh; but, they tastes much better in fritters. Deep-fried Cempedak Fritters are commonly sold in the streets of Malaysia.
Combine all the ingredients for batter and mix well.
Pour enough oil into a saucepan or in a deep fryer on medium to high heat. Coat the Cempedak flesh with batter and fry until golden brown in color, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the Cempedak fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on papers and serve warm or at room temperature.
not only have I not seen it, I've neevr even hear of it!! Looks interesting!
That looks interesting, similar to a durian. I've never tried either fruit before.
Great recipe! I've had something very similar with durian and it was delicious. Looking forward to using cempedak with your recipe in my own kitchen. Thanks!

For many airports, strengthening access control means implementing a key control and management system to ensure that all keys, including those to sensitive areas, are properly secured and accounted for. When installed throughout the airport complex, the automated key control systems enable controlled access to keys and provide valuable forensic capabilities such as automated tracking, alarm and reporting functions.
Automated key control and management systems offer an increased level of security for an airport by preventing unauthorized key access and reducing the incidence of lost or misplaced keys. Tamper-proof cabinets are used to hold keys to sensitive or sterile airport areas, including ramps, operational spaces and other SIDA (Security Identification Display Area) spaces restricted from the general public. Authorized users with permission to enter these restricted areas unescorted can access keys which they have been pre-programmed to use by entering their PIN code and swiping a pre-issued badge. If the criteria entered matches the information stored in the system data base, the key cabinet will unlock and the necessary key can be removed or returned.
Following are more specific ways key control and management systems are designed to improve airport operational security.
Actionable Information ̶ Operational security and efficiency is further improved because all key access activity is automatically recorded including user, date and time of key access/return. Scheduled reports of which keys are in or out and who has/had them keeps airport security management informed. Administrators can request programmed reports to trace key movements by time, date and user code. If an incident occurs, during the follow-up investigation, management can query the system for specific details such as a listing of all transactions between certain times. Or, immediately following an incident, a report can be generated showing which keys are signed out and who last accessed them. Real-time audit reports can also track keys in use, overdue or lost keys, the location of a stored key (i.e. which key cabinet in the system) and any inconsistent key usage.
When time is of the essence, the up-to-date and reliable information provided by a key control and management system’s reporting can provide a strong evidence trail allowing airport personnel to enforce established procedures regarding secure areas.
System Integrity ̶ Key control and management systems may also incorporate additional security features to help maintain the integrity of the system and provide enhanced security. For example, when an authorized user accesses a key, a numeric code can appear on the display and that code must be entered at secure doors when using the key. As an added safety measure, alarms can be triggered for certain predetermined circumstances such as the use of force to gain access or remove a key, invalid user codes, a door left open for more than 10 seconds after use, power failure, a key missing or not returned on time, or a key returned by the wrong user. Further, systems can require multiple users to log in before releasing certain keys, meaning that two or three different users (for example, two managers and their subordinate) must be present in order to release sensitive keys.
Locking devices can also be attached to the keys to prevent users from swapping out the real key for another. These can be color-coded for organizational purposes. For example, this can help airport management organize keys for sensitive or sterile areas. The color-coding system also means that individual keys need not be labeled as to their purpose. If a key is lost, not only does the system flag this missing key, but it also eliminates any immediate identity issues.
Today’s sophisticated key management systems bear little resemblance to manual processes in the past. Now, these systems are designed with an open architecture platform to enable network connectivity to access control and other systems provided by a range of integration partners for multiple levels of security and control.
Operational Efficiency ̶ Optimizing the key management and access control technology within a facility through system integration pays impressive rewards in improved security and system efficiency. The technology can usually be integrated with the existing physical security system without costly upgrades or overhauls. For example, asset control systems featuring alarm and relay inputs/outputs can be integrated with existing video surveillance systems for additional security. Ethernet and USB capability help to ensure system compatibility and integration. Systems can also integrate with the airport’s existing identification cards.
Integration with access control also allows system administrators to regulate the area of movement within the building for staff with keys. An authorized airport employee who has taken a specific, high-value key can be denied egress from the facility via an access-controlled door until the key is returned. The parameters can be applied to users, keys, groups of keys, time constraints, and reservations. Or, when high security keys are involved, specific management can be alerted via email if that particular key has not been returned on time.
Operational Convenience ̶ Compatibility with other security systems and network access offers an added richness and usability to airport security management. Integration with existing databases can also save time and money, by using a common front-end database to synchronize programming. Transactions such as adding or deleting users are easier and provide more efficient administrative control. Adding or deleting contractors and other non-permanent airport staff is just as easy, and the information is automatically distributed to all key cabinets within the system.
Mobile Capability ̶ Mobile applications are quickly becoming a preferred platform for airport security managers accessing key control data and even to perform transactions. The result is improved safety and integrity of the airport. Advanced communication capabilities enable key control systems to be monitored and administered remotely from PDAs or smartphones as well as from the desktop. Apps for automated key control systems enable users to maintain control of keys no matter their location. At any time, an authorized user can see real time transactions and information about keys that are in use and any keys that are overdue, as well as about where and when alarms may have been triggered or overall system status. For investigative purposes, for example, managers can even review key usage to determine who may have last accessed a key for a vehicle that was found to be damaged.
Notifications and events are automatically sent to authorized airport personnel for real-time awareness and management, and allowing them complete control of the system. They can cancel an alarm and even, if necessary, remotely disable user privileges. These features, along with many others, provide the mobile user with a greater level of convenience and control when it comes to key control management in an airport environment.
Improvements that strengthen an airport’s access control should not stop at the terminal. Remotely located buildings such as fire stations, administrative facilities, control towers and even hangars can pose a challenge for management in terms of keeping the buildings secured and safe from break-ins, vandalism and other unwanted access. Since these locations are not connected to the main terminals, providing access can also create a challenge when it is necessary for maintenance crews and other workers to have access to certain or all areas within these buildings.
Common Concerns – Will employees remember to return the keys? Will the facility be properly locked upon exit? Will accurate time logs be kept? Automated key control and management systems installed at the remote facilities can help eliminate these issues. More efficient than requiring employees to pick up and return keys to/from a central office, on-site networked key control systems with tracking capability offer an easy-to-use alternative. Illuminated key slots to locate keys, random return capability and user prompt screens with tailored messages all help make systems easier and more efficient for even the occasional users.
Key control systems can be programmed remotely to meet the requirements of airport and federal government regulations as well as setting time and date parameters for each user, which can also help to ensure the deterrence and detection of unwarranted access to controlled areas within the facility. Using PIN codes or biometric authentication, remotely located systems make it easier for authorized users to access keys when needed and for security management to be more assured about the building’s security.
Accountability Beyond Security – In a real-life example, United Airlines Jet Rebuild and Test Facility in San Francisco keeps track of valuable tools using a key control and management solution. At the facility where United brings its jets for rebuilding, each mechanic is provided with the specific tools and test equipment needed for the job at hand. The items, some of which have values up to $20,000 each, are kept in locking toolboxes and the toolboxes are kept in assigned areas relating to the project. The shop uses the integrated key control system to store the keys for the toolboxes and to enable complete control of who has access to individual keys and when that access is authorized.
The system can be accessed through an IP network from anywhere in the building and this online control enables airline management to administer the system and know from their own desktop computer who has any key. An audit trail tracks data regarding who removed any key, when it was taken and when it was returned. Activity reports provide complete information on which keys come and go, at what time and on what day. The information provides insight into usage trends that could help the facility better understand the operation and any opportunities for improvement, such as a need for additional equipment or improved alternative scheduling.
Changes to the Aviation and Transportation Security Act, airport expansion, policy changes and system upgrades are just some of the circumstances that can affect an existing or planned implementation of a key control and management system. Several options and design variations are available to customize a solution and help protect the airport’s investment as needs grow and change.
Hundreds of key control and management systems are already installed and in use in airports around the world, providing tangible benefits and supporting airport management in the achievement of safety and operational goals. As described above, in some of these installations, further enhancing integration with related systems could provide further improvements and benefits. In either case, for both new airport installs or enhancements, administrators can be confident that they are not only improving their local security posture but also thereby improving the safety of the entire global air transport system.

Digesting protein after a piece out is crucial to make your muscle tissue the energy they require which will heal and get bigger. Of course, you may pick out solid foods as nicely, but a liquid meal is higher after a heavy weight training consultation.
So why a liquid meal? It’s due to the fact your body ought to process the vitamins simpler and quicker! It is important to get both protein and carb deliver into your gadget simply after your training consultation because your body is inside a catabolic circumstance and breaking down your muscle groups for strength. The sooner you acquire vitamins internal your body the quicker your entire body can alternate returned to an anabolic condition and begin muscle constructing once more.
If feasible, you want to have your after-workout food no greater than 30 mins after your education session finishes. It’s easy to carry a whey protein shake together with you to the health club and put it in the locker region once you’re completed together with your personal weightlifting.
Time saving concept: I always get the massive tubs of natural whey protein product. I choose up a tumbler of water, unload 1/2 of it available, and funnel 2 tablespoon of proteins in. Give it a shake and then it’s prepared. After that, I should convey it to the gymnasium with me, take it instantly down quickly after my schooling consultation, after which throw it on the rubbish. That’s one less aspect I need to have along with me – and one less “dish” I need to rinse out.
Exactly How Much Protein Will You Need Immediately after Your Workout?
You want to get .Five-2.0 grms of proteins for every -pound of body weight. Some research shows that your complete body cannot take gain of more than 20-30 grms of protein in a single consultation. Still there has not been ok take a look at to ensure that discussion 100% valid. A lot of significant weightlifters keeps to devour forty… 50… 60 grams of proteins following a education consultation. I say it’s far much better to hold at the excessive cease and devour extra than you can need as opposed to no longer sufficient. If you are aiming to create muscle groups you do no longer desire to waste an exercise via not feeding your complete body sufficient of what it desires. And yes it needs proteins!
What Type Of Whey Protein Do You Advise Following A Exercise?
• Pure whey protein listen: This is a lower-high-quality protein however it’s inexpensive. It has greater lactose and fat than protein isolate and will cause a few people to get gassy and bloated.
• Pure whey protein isolate: This is a more natural form of protein, which evidently makes it extra expensive. Thankfully, it is more effective as compared to pay attention and you will no longer be farting anywhere or becoming overestimated that is usually a bonus.
You will discover more varieties of protein together with casein, but to your after-exercise shake, you would want to utilize both pay attention or isolate. Casein is referred to as a slower dissipating proteins so we really need some thing in an effort to quickly replenish our muscle mass following a exercising.

It’s viable that of all of the supplements you have ever discovered out approximately earlier than, Creatine is without difficulty the most stated and one of the maximum greatly applied. The key cause why? Since it works, and it helps weight benefit.
For starters, creatine is genuinely a bi-manufactured from a obviously sourced amino acid. The human body’s everyday methods essentially create the response which paperwork creatine and is likewise kept in components of your muscle groups. Furthermore, creatine also can be acquired in red meat and certain sorts of fish. Now, when you do some thing excessive, say sprinting or weight lifting, your gadget demands power. Get into ATP.
Adenosine Tri Phosphate or ATP is what your frame makes use of for gas for forceful exercises. It releases the energy by breaking aside and growing Adenosine Di-Phosphate or ADP.

Thus… You may want some other deliver of ATP to keep the energy streaming and maintain your muscle mass schooling longer…Enter creatine.
Creatine is saved in your frame as creatine phosphate… I’m sure you observe where I’m going right here. ADP borrows creatine phosphate to produce ATP and There you’re! Easy electricity! This process takes region Much greater without difficulty than if your frame have been to anticipate the process of carbs and glucose extracting to in the end generate the energy required, therefore supplementing with creatine can speed up the manner and permit you workout longer and harder, consequently enabling you to increase extra lean muscle, and letting you growth weight.
! Okay, enough with all of the technology educational. Here is one factor to make be aware of. Creatine isn’t always without a doubt a steroid. It will not can help you large really because you began drinking some creatine drinks each day. It’ll likewise no longer permit you to gain muscle just through getting it by way of itself… You need to workout! All creatine does is to will let you exercising longer and plenty tougher. It is the exercises them selves that offer the real consequences. A lot of humans consider that creatine is a treatment for all issues related to workout, however that without a doubt isn’t the way it’s miles.

Do you really want weight gain nutritional supplements to increase muscle? Probably the most baffling places to stay in the whole world is the weight lifting supplement section inside your neighborhood nutrition store. Well, I stated aisle, yet the fact is, there are nutritional supplements in many different places which are designed to execute this and do that, how do you even pick out? We will start off by making one issue clear: weight gain health supplements are made to generate supplement companies dollars, not just build muscles. Don’t forget, the supplement market is a profitable business after all.
The term health supplement indicates IN ADDITION TO, and the thing they’re said to be combined with is a complete diet plan. In case your diet is a bad one in the first place, swallowing several supplements or or even shakes will not create the difference. You need to first look into having a well rounded muscle building diet program that includes all of the minerals and vitamins you require from a variety of proteins, carbs, and fat. Once you have gotten down the fundamentals of feeding on a well rounded weight gain diet, you’ll then evaluate perhaps including a supplement or two to help accelerate the entire process of body building.
Among the first items to take a look at when selecting a weight gain dietary supplement is often a high quality powdered protein. These types of powders or shakes, scooped into water or milk products, can assist you obtain the nutrition you require to replace a meal or simply include top quality protein and natural vitamins in your present diet plan. Muscle building requires taking in a significant measure of extra protein which powders or shakes can assist you get the quantity you’ll need.
Another body building health supplement which has displayed assurance is creatine. Creatine is a material that is naturally obtained in red meat and when taken in concentrated form just like in creatine natural powder, it can help the entire body improve the manufacture of Adenosine Tri-Phosphate or ATP. ATP is basically the power resource for your muscular tissues and increasing it can help your muscles exercise much longer before they weaken. This could mean training longer which in turn can develop extra muscles.
One of the maximum common motives why people on the street to weight reduction fail to stay up to their dieting regimen is because maximum of the time, their meal plan is comprised on the whole of ingredients that have lost taste because of salt restrictions. In different phrases, they’re now compelled to eat bland stuff, and you could handiest stomach so much. Understanding this, Dr. Siegal who works with patients suffering to lose weight, decided to expand diet cookies in 1975 to replace all ingredients except one daily meal. Holding only ninety calories every, these cookies are available in blueberry, oatmeal raisin, coconut, banana and chocolate flavors and allows dieters to revel in exceptional flavors even at the same time as on a eating regimen.
The blessings offered by diet cookies lies in its convenience. The simplest meal plan to follow is making sure which you have lean protein and steamed vegetables for dinner. The relaxation of the time, you simplest want to consume cookies. Those who adopt this form of dieting regimen see real weight reduction that lies at the common of 10 to 15 lbs. A month. The cookies are effectively available online and in retail outlets, drug stores and medical doctors as properly.
However, the primary disadvantage of this dieting regimen is that it’s far nutritionally deficient. Cookies do now not comprise all the nutrients, minerals and other vitamins for a wholesome frame functioning. Any character in search of to shed pounds have to nonetheless get his or her vitamins from dairy, protein, end result, vegetables, legumes and grains. Cookies simply do not meet this requirement. Another challenge is that handiest the amino-acid combination that suppresses the urge for food is the simplest acknowledged ingredient, the others that make up the cookies aren’t recognised. While the diet does deliver a short weight loss restore whilst starvation strikes, it does not teach nor does it encourage lengthy-term and sustainable life-style modifications. Eating a well-balanced weight loss program is the simplest manner to maintain the weight off for life and weight-reduction plan cookies do now not promote this. In truth, Dr. Siegal’s cookie weight loss program has been categorized as a fad weight loss plan by the health and health sectors. Being one, it boasts of speedy weight reduction with out the corresponding way of life adjustments. Moreover, because it entails calorie restrictions of up to one,000 energy day by day, it needs the supervision of your medical doctor. Doing it by myself can also endanger your fitness. One final subject of this dieting routine is that it does no longer inspire sufficient workout to assist the body burn energy and revel in the benefits of physical hobby. Any diet plan that does inspire exercising should enhance warning flags for the reason that diet and exercise are the 2 verified strategies of wholesome weight loss.

The newspaper’s anonymous sources whisper that Apple executives are in talks with at least two owners of broadcast TV networks and cable channels, alongside some of the biggest U.S. pay-TV systems. The execs are proposing to reimburse programmers for skipped advertising.
It remains to be seen how the parties will react. Apple’s chief negotiator has to draft a pretty convincing offer and put it on the table. At issue is TV ad revenue.
According to a Nielsen study, TV ad revenue is a $350 billion business and is on the rise, recording a 4.3% increase compared to 2011, with North America contributing to a 3.2% rise in global ad spending for the year. Overall, TV ad spending accounted for 62.8% of global ad dollars last year, the Nielsen report states.
What’s interesting though is that Apple’s 13 million Apple TV units sold has placed the company at the top of the most popular video streaming devices, seconded by Roku which sold 21%.
With the growing popularity of video streaming devices and DVR, the demand for skipping commercials is high. Almost three-quarters of consumers in a survey cited the ability to skip commercials as the main reason they use a digital video recorder, Bloomberg says.
Nearly 90% of television viewers always skip through the adverts on their digital video recorder but TV still remains the most memorable form of advertising, according to a research cited by The Guardian.
Media buyers, however, aren’t confident that TV networks will go along.
However, if the ad-skipping feature does materialize, it will create new opportunities.

RAY: This Puzzler came from Kevin Tobin. A maharajah owned a mango tree that had very sweet, abundant fruit. People would come from miles around to pick the fruit. So the maharajah decided to protect the tree by erecting a series of seven concentric fences around it. Each fence had a gate with a guard. To get to the tree a person would have had to pass through seven gates and pass seven guards. One day, a man approached the guard at the first gate and said, “If you let me pass, when I come back I’ll bring you some mangoes. I will give you half of the mangoes I have, but you must give me one back.” For example, if he brings back 10 mangoes, he’ll give five to the guard and the guard will give one back. The guard let the man in through the gate, and the man proceeded to make the same deal with the other six guards. The question is: How many mangoes did the man have to get to pass back through the seven gates, giving half to each guard and the guard giving one back?
Similar to Gone Fishin’ puzzler.
Seen as a first order discrete system with an integer steady state the answer is somewhat surprising, but I got the answer before the analysis.
To me, this puzzler seems under specified.
Also, if the intended answer is what I think it is, then what motivation would the guards have to let the man through? If you think their prior verbal commitment to the agreement is sufficient, what about their prior verbal commitment to the maharajah?
