"We are interested in:
- Resituating humans within ecological systems
- Resituating non-humans in ethical terms
- Systems of survival that are resilient in the face of change
- Diversity and dynamism in ecologies and economies
- Ethical responsibility across space and time, between places and in the future
- Creating new ecological economic narratives.
Starting from the recognition that there is no "one size fits all" response to climate change, we are concerned to develop an ethics of place that appreciates the specificity and richness of loss and potentiality. While connection to earth others might be an overarching goal, it will be to certain ecologies, species, atmospheres and materialities that we actually connect. We could see ourselves as part of country, accepting the responsibility not forgotten by Indigenous people all over the world, of "singing" country into health. This might mean cultivating the capacity for deep listening to each other, to the land, to other species and thereby learning to be affected and transformed by the body-world we are part of; seeing the body as a center of animation but not the ground of a separate self; renouncing the narcissistic defense of omnipotence and an equally narcissistic descent into despair. We think that we can work against singular and global representations of "the problem" in the face of which any small, multiple, place-based action is rendered hopeless. We can choose to read for difference rather than dominance; think connectivity rather than hyper-separation; look for multiplicity — multiple climate changes, multiple ways of living with earth others. We can find ways forward in what is already being done in the here and now; attend to the performative effects of any analysis; tell stories in a hopeful and open way — allowing for the possibility that life is dormant rather than dead. We can use our critical capacities to recover our rich traditions of counter-culture and theorize them outside the mainstream/alternative binary. All these ways of thinking and researching give rise to new strategies for going forward. Think of the chapters of this book as tentative hoverings, as the fluttering of butterfly wings, scattering germs of ideas that can take root and grow."

2 men break into home and assaulted a 9-year-old autistic boy while he slept, police say
Two men broke into a home in California and assaulted a 9-year-old boy with autism as he slept in his bedroom, police say.
Around 2 a.m. on Nov. 29, authorities said police responded to Saint Louise Hospital following a report of the boy being assaulted.
According to police, two men broke into the home in Gilroy, California, and then assaulted the boy. From there, the men ran from the scene.
Police talked with the boy's mother, who said she believes the man was Joseph Sanseverino, who she previously dated and still actually lived at the house, KRON 4 reported.
Since then, police said they have been searching for Sanseverino and the other man, who the mother identified as "Ethan."
Police continue to investigate and anyone with information is asked to contact police at (408) 846-0485. You can also remain anonymous with your tip by calling the Tip Line at (408) 846-0330.

This book describes the organization, lists the units and illustrates the uniforms and equipment of the four Canadian divisions which earned an elite reputation on the Western Front in 1915-18. Canada's 600,000 troops of whom more than 66,000 died and nearly 150,000 were wounded represented an extraordinary contribution to the British Empire's struggle. On grim battlefields from the Ypres Salient to the Somme, and from their stunning victory at Vimy Ridge to the final triumphant 'Hundred Days' advance of autumn 1918, Canada's soldiers proved themselves to be a remarkable army in their own right, founding a national tradition.

Have you ever wondered how a midwife prepares herself for labour? Read on as I chat to Jedda Maggs who has been a midwife for 12 years and is a mum of 3 boys. You need to hear her answer to help you have a smooth and calm labour experience.
March is National Endometriosis Awareness month and after personally experiencing this condition I can tell you the pain and confusion with endometriosis is like no other. Pain and swelling gripping your pelvic region and the confusion of having no idea how to help yourself. It really leaves you wondering is it ever going to get better? and the worst part is wondering if this is going to affect my chances of having a baby...
Wow what happened to my stomach? It looks like it's split in half and not working. I feel bulging coming out when I stand up, it's flabby and it feels so weak! I feel horrible.
Does this sound like you?
It's very common after pregnancy, It's called Diastasis Rectus Abdominis (DRA) or abdominal separation. Where the tummy muscles have stretched and the fascia has separated leaving you feeling weak and flabby.
Here's what you can you do about it!

Too many lessons during level-up…
Any suggestions?
Too many lessons during level-up…
You don't have to do them all right away!
This happens when you guru a whole bunch of kanji at once and suddenly unlock all of the associated vocab lessons, as well as the new batch of radicals, kanji, and some vocab for the new level. But unless you're trying to rush to level 60 as fast as possible (and even then, there's a strategy that allows you to avoid doing huge lesson binges), you don't need to clear out the whole lesson queue immediately. You can chip away at that number by doing just 10, 15, 20, or however many lessons you want each day!
If you want to avoid having a large vocab backlog at the beginning of a new level, my suggestion would be to download the lesson filter script and distribute the kanji lessons throughout the level instead of doing them in huge clumps. As long as you aim for a ratio of roughly 1 kanji to every 3 vocab lessons, you shouldn't end up with a huge backlog of vocab. Doing 3 kanji a day and 9 vocab (for a total of 12 lessons a day), for example, is a pretty good pace that'll get you to level 60 in under three years. 4 kanji and 12 vocab (for a total of 16 lessons) would be a bit faster, or 5 kanji and 15 vocab (20 lessons) if you're feeling more ambitious. Using this script would mean that you guru kanji in much smaller waves, resulting in a more gradual stream of lessons.
But really, having a bunch of lessons isn't really a problem (unless you're using a script to only do kanji lessons and are skipping all of the vocab). I actually deliberately cultivate a small pile of lessons so that I can always do my daily 10-13 lessons every day. I don't want the number to reach 0 until I'm at the end of level 60, haha
Yes, do them in small batches of like 10-20 per day, but more importantly, in a way that fits your schedule and capacity. If you feel you're doing too many, don't do more .
Also, check the WaniKani settings and reduce lesson batch size to like 5 or something. That helped me a lot.
this means you did all your second batch of kanji lessons at once, and maintained very high accuracy in reviews until you guru'd them. so not a bad thing.
if you haven't yet, then do check out The Ultimate Guide to Wanikani. you'll find tons of tips on how to deal with situations like this ^^
Indeed. Getting loads of new lessons upon level up only happens if you guru's many kanji at once at the end of the level.
You could also "plan" when and how you guru the items. Basically, spread out the guru'ing of kanji, which would let you get through the accompanying vocab lessons before you're about to level up.
I'd make sure that I only have a couple of kanji left to guru before level-up. That way, you'll make quick work of the few vocab lessons you have left before getting to the new level lessons with new radicals.
only 19 apprentice?
You should do more to get at least to 50 then you increase by little.
That's what I did until I got to hell levels keeping 100 apprentice, now my max is 90 because I started bunpro.
As others have mentioned, study your kanji in smaller batches and you'll get new lessons at a slower, manageable rate.
Good luck!

Last week's training went well. I got in what I needed to speed and mileage wise. While I was hoping the Hilton Head Half Marathon would be faster, it wasn't a fast course.
|Easy 8 miles
|Tuesday: Easy 10 miles with Alexis
|Workout Total miles 12
|Easy 4 miles
|Easy 8 miles with Strides
|Hilton Head Half Marathon 1:31.13 Total miles 15
|Easy 10
Total miles 67
My week of training went well. I got done what I wanted with no major hiccups. I had assumed the Hilton Head race was a faster course than it was. It's hard to tell from the map, but there were a lot of small turns that you never got any rhythm. Even on the biggest inclines (up the bridges), I ran faster miles (6:51) then the miles that had 12+ turns and ran through dirt (7:09). In all, I'm happy with how everything went. It's hard to imagine running 6 minutes faster to reach my goal of getting to 1:25 but hopefully training will come back sooner rather than later.
Workout Wednesday (all done on roads):
2 Mile Warmup
4X800 with 1 minute standing rest (paces 6:22, 6:28, 6:16, 6:32)
2 Miles Hard (6:55, 6:57)
4X400 Hard with 1 minute rest (paces 5:58, 6:18, 6:34, 6:18)
1 Mile Hard (6:46)
This workout went well. I couldn't have asked for a better workout. I honestly thought my watch GPS was off by how good I felt. In fact, I feel better about this workout than the race I did.
Hilton Head Half Marathon (1:31.13)
I was hoping to get a good idea of where I am fitness-wise. While I think it gives me a solid clue, the course wasn't as easy as I assumed. As I mentioned, one mile had over 12 turns and ran through mud/trail. The course also merged the half and full marathoners running different paces on narrow roads, which I found unsafe. I am happy with how I handled the course and mile 11 was my fastest (6:44). Am I 100% happy with the race? No, but I am pleased with how I handled what was thrown at me.
Next Week:
I'll be just trucking along and continuing the miles. I don't have any bigger races until March so I'll just continue to run.

The story
This section tells the history of the world of Fable
On his sister's birthday, a young boy's village of Oakvale is raided by bandits; killing the boy's entire family. An old Hero, Maze, rescues the boy, seeing great potential in him; Maze trains the boy to become a Hero at the Heroes' Guild. Years pass; after honing his skills, Maze informs the Hero of a blind seeress living among a bandit camp near Oakvale, and advises the Hero to infiltrate the bandit camp. To the Hero's surprise, the blind seeress is actually his older sister Theresa who was taken in by Twinblade, a former Hero and the present Bandit King. After a showdown with Twinblade, the Hero is given the choice of killing or sparing the bandit. Later on in the Hero's life, after he has gained more recognition among the people of Albion, he is invited to fight in the Arena, where he meets the legendary Hero named Jack of Blades, who runs the arena battles. As a final challenge, Jack pits the Hero against his rival, which was also once his childhood friend/room-mate back in the Guild - Whisper; when the Hero defeats her he may kill or spare her. The Hero learns that Jack of Blades himself destroyed Oakvale during the Hero's childhood; aided by Theresa, the Hero discovers his mother alive in Bargate Prison. The Hero is captured in the rescue attempt and spends a year or more in the prison before finally escaping. Maze is revealed to be a traitor and working with Jack. Maze kidnaps Theresa. After defeating Maze, the Hero is led into a final confrontation with Jack where his mother is killed. Jack reveals that The Sword of Aeons can only be wielded if it receives the blood of Archon. The Sword of Aeons is said to be a very powerful sword of destruction. Upon the death of their mother, the Hero and Theresa are the only two remaining descendants of Archon, and if Jack destroys them both the sword will be even more powerful. After defeating Jack, the Hero must choose whether to keep the Sword of Aeons by killing his sister, or cast it away forever into a portal created by Jack of Blades' death. Depending on the Hero's alignment and the player's choice of using or destroying the sword, there are a total of four different endings. Once the ending credits roll, players can resume their games. In The Lost Chapters special edition, the story continues. After the defeat of Jack, the Hero must find passage to the Northern Wastes to aid a legendary hero named Scythe in stopping an unknown great evil from returning. Should the hero have discarded the Sword of Aeons he will have the opportunity to gain the sword "Avo's Tear", a sword of similar design and equal power but that holds a light alignment rather than dark. Avo is said to be a god that represents the light side alignment. After a series of quests revolving around this new evil, it is learned that Jack of Blades has returned. He must then defeat Jack of Blades a second time, Jack having returned from the dead in the form of a dragon. Upon the death of Jack, the hero then uses Jack's mask to capture Jack's soul, with Scythe telling him that the battle is not over and that he must destroy the mask. The hero then has the final choice of putting on the mask - being consumed by Jack in the process - or destroying it, along with Jack, forever.

Just because > the base transport doesn't give you some of these and you have to > implement them higher up the stack is no reason to throw out a > transport. Are there a significant number (ANY?) streaming video providers using UDP to deliver their streams? I admit I'm mostly ignorant here, but at least the ones I'm familiar with all use TCP. Further, it depends on how you define a stream… If a stream is a conversation between two particular endpoints using consistent port numbers, then sure, it's (somewhat) easy to identify, except… OTOH, if a stream is considered all of the packets involved in a particular user watching a particular video, then depending on implementation, this could be much harder to identify over UDP than TCP. For example, if the stream is delivered via a torrent-like delivery system over UDP, it could be very hard to identify that all the various seemingly random UDP packets are part of that particular video delivery. If the requirements were specific enough that they matched a particularly small subset of video delivery services, then I might agree with you. In this case, they seem to have been written more from the technical limitations of T-Mobiles current ability to identify the traffic than targeted at a specific service. For example, I seriously doubt that video delivered from http://us-st.xhcdn.com/swf/ <http://us-st.xhcdn.com/swf/>… is likely to be among their "target candidates". Nonetheless, it does appear that if xhcdn chooses to apply under the program, they wouldn't have any trouble meeting the requirements. (if you want to review the kind of videos hosted on xhcdn, visit their client www.xhamster.com <http://www.xhamster.com/>. Warning… NSFW) You can make all the claims you want about how they should have or could have implemented this, but unless you have evidence that the issue is actually an attempt to circumvent the intent of net neutrality and not merely a technical limitation of their particular implementation, then I really don't think you have a basis for your claim above.

Pomelo x Peanuts
May might be the month of graduation, but for those who are heading back to school for a new semester, Pomelo has got your outfits covered with their latest collection.
Featuring the adorable characters of Peanuts like Snoopy and Charlie Brown, the collection includes statement pieces like vests and tops, which can be easily layered on. Read on to find out more deets about the fashionable pieces.
T-shirts are foolproof tops that can never go wrong. On this piece of Snoopy & Charlie Brown Tee, Peanuts gives a nod to the two characters' friendship by connecting them with a telephone cord.
Snoopy & Charlie Brown Tee, $29.90

As an alternative, the official listings listed below are broken down into upload regarding the Providers, Fetish, LMA and LMS, Week-end, Ratings, ISO, and you can Discussions.
Overview of TNA Board: It is not A legit Message board Discover Escorts One more reason as to why I recommend staying away from TNA Board is that it's just about no different than all escort internet towards the the net currently. Pornography Nerd ain't out right here getting an effective shill to your purpose of it: when you find yourself TNA Board was sweet, I absolutely think I actually have to firmness out the self-confident feedback bits into downsides to make sure you understand it isn't all of the peaches and you may lotion.
While you are we have been to the profile part of affairs, you will find that just underneath the supplier's pick are good 'my references' switch: hit that it observe ratings away from profiles towards the TNA Board one to could possibly get actually vouch for this new escort's skills in bed
In reality, we'd not like to write down much here, toward pages listed on the platform (per the new pages in addition to suppliers') is only accessed and you can seemed by applying the new look. not, we should instead comprehend in the event that they work securely incase it express the required results for the clients and you will companion suppliers/suppliers. It is bafflingly oversimplified to accept that each seller is within precisely the similar financial and you can person situation as after the and that area of the varying impacting percentage are narcissism. It isn't a whole lot your earlier in virtually any skill trusts her snatch and you will administrations are of every high quality compared to the last mentioned, it is that emotional and enchanting wellbeing prices are plenty higher for starters versus contrary.
New given mission is simply because specific 3rd-event content material may require visual material, not as TNABoard are a place to buy genitals. I understand loads of it's possible to have currently prevented training, as you probably must, however I am New Pornography Guy so I'll simply take one for the classification and register. TNABoard refused myself that have a giant error content and log on screen. The new junk e-mail therefore the fact that you'll be able to't break off posts because of the Urban area provides considering me personally a nasty earliest perception of TNABoard, however, they aren't probably the bad part of the location We have viewed at this point.
In many points, the fresh critiques is for females that productive users toward TNA Panel, it is therefore quite cool they can connect anything up-and allow you to rating a piece of your own motion when you are eager. Now alongside particular essential data, TNA Panel as well as allows styles display the photos and an explanation on themselves.

TNA Panel opinion: must you religion this companion among the natives?
In return, I can vessel your much more photos, thanks to mail, of your own one to within the photograph over, but aided by the face, along with her contact analysis, as well as deal with and creampie photos of the very great 3-gap huge-tit marvel discussed a lot more than who's now splitting this lady time passed between PDX and you can Eugene. Therefore the loaded big-tit step 3 gap wonder in one of my personal earlier listings correct here, whoever BBFS remains to be no more than under the radar, has started to become isolating the girl time between Portland and you may Eugene, therefore she's designed for this new native Portland men today. Ujifusa claims as he began operating intercourse trafficking/prostitution times full-amount of time in 2009, statutes administration opposed to prostitution and you may trafficking was generally transmitted out at roadway phase.

TNA Panel is among the most promising of these, the spot there are no most fees and you can hidden percentage recharged out of your savings account because of the team. Very, that is what we've come upon about the cover and you may cover toward TNA Panel,
Because of the fact the costs tariffs were primarily made for the newest escort organization, we shall leave you a chance to see just what the cash are paid down to have and we'll reveal a few of the bits of suggestions about getting a readers repaid on your companion properties, however, if if your escort merchant have to have the fresh advertising in order to feel aired a whole lot more incessantly, the additional percentage shall be released, and it can differ from $step 1 to another $50.

This summer I attended a silent retreat, led by Yoga Therapy Toronto. This was my third silent retreat.
A silent retreat can be very healing for the mind. When you stop talking, and everyone around you is also quiet you become more aware of the voice in your head. This voice can be helpful sometimes, but other times it can get in our way when we try to reconnect with our true essence.
How often does the voice in your head tell you who or what you are? "I am angry or sad." "I have pain in my body." "I am good at this." "I am a teacher." Instead what you are is awareness of these thoughts, perceptions, sensations, and feelings. This underlying awareness is quiet. The voice drowns out the silence, telling you everything. Listening to all of this can be too much; getting back to the awareness underneath the voice more often, can help you find more peace. This is what mindfulness and meditation helps you to do.
When the voice quiets does, our core essence can see that all of our thoughts, perceptions, feelings, and sensations are not what or who we are. Clearly, a silent retreat can be very helpful in this process.

The new COVID-19 strain that ravaged the United Kingdom has popped up in San Diego County, California officials including Gov. Gavin Newsom said Wednesday.
Newsom announced the mutation's arrival in his state during a live conversation with federal infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci, one day after the strain was detected in Colorado in the first known case on American soil.
"This new strain that we've identified … has been identified here in the state of California, in southern California," said Newsom, in video posted by local outlet KRON4.
Newsom did not immediately provide further details about the case, including the patient's condition or exact location, but officials in San Diego County later confirmed that the case was detected there.
The patient, a man in his 30s who is not hospitalized, did not have a travel history prior to his diagnosis, suggesting that he caught the strain locally, said County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher, according to local outlet KPBS.
"Because there is no travel history, we believe this is not an isolated case in San Diego and there are other cases of the same strain in San Diego," Fletcher said.
During the earlier call, Fauci told Newsom that he was hardly surprised that the mutation had made its way to California — and warned that the Golden State would not be the last to find it.
"I'm not surprised that you have a case — and likely more cases — in California," he said. "We likely will be seeing reports from other states.
"I think you're going to start seeing it because if you have that much of a prominence of this in the UK with all the travel … I don't think that the Californians should feel that this is something odd," Fauci continued. "This is something that's expected."
According to Johns Hopkins University data current as of Wednesday afternoon, Los Angeles County had seen more confirmed cases of the coronavirus than any other county in the US, with 746,089 diagnoses.
San Diego County has 150,064 confirmed cases.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has warned that the new variant of the coronavirus could be 70 percent more transmissible than the previous strain.

You will find serious warnings that the condo estate that is real in B.C. Could collapse unless the province actions in to cease it.
A agent of a flat owners' association states current modifications to insurance costs imply that not just are structures paying out more for protection – most are being denied altogether.
"this really is one thing no body had foreseen, " stated Tony Gioventu, executive manager of this Condominium and Homeowners Association of B.C.
Gioventu claims he knew greater prices and deductibles had been coming. Some insurance firms are taking out of B.C. 's market, plus they've struggled to steadfastly keep up with claims from worldwide catastrophes.
Just exactly What he states he did not see coming had been structures maybe maybe not to be able to get insurance coverage after all.
"this may collapse our estate that is real industry no body should be able to get mortgages and you will see no purchasers with no sellers, " Gioventu stated.
Gioventu understands of a few structures presently not able to get insurance coverage, and said there may be more out there.
Deficiencies in insurance coverage places purchasers seeking to get straight back on the market prone to losing their funding, and means vendors may find it difficult to offer their houses.
Zafar Khan is regarded as those vendors.
Khan had an offer on his condo in Surrey, B.C. 's Cloverdale neighbourhood, as well as the deal would be to shut Feb. 3. But during the minute that is last all fell apart, given that buyer pulled from the purchase.
"we discovered out of the strata went away from insurance coverage, " stated Khan.
He stated he previously no basic concept, and only learned all about it later on through the customer's real estate professional.
The representative, Sevin Atilla, explained just exactly what took place.
"We discovered out of the strata's insurance coverage arrived up for renewal in addition they weren't in a position to restore it, " said Atilla, whom works at Oakwyn Realty.
"I do not blame the client at all, " Khan stated.
Banking institutions will not fund buildings that are uninsured that's exactly what took place aided by the loan the customer had guaranteed.
"just as they discovered on the market was no insurance coverage set up, they retracted the home loan approval, " explained Atilla.
CTV News reached off to the home supervisor, Crossroads Management Ltd. The organization stated it attempted five various insurance brokers, all of these were not able to locate an insurance coverage business to guarantee the complex.
Crossroads stated it really is nevertheless searching.
Owners are actually at online payday TX an increased risk if catastrophe hits; their banking institutions could pull their funding in addition they will struggle to offer their properties.
"This impacted our deal and we'll see a lot more of these deals collapsing later on, " stated Atilla.
And massive insurance fees are increasing the stress.
The strata president of 1 Burnaby condo told CTV News their insurance that is annual has quadrupled, from $200,000 per year to $810,000, in addition they can no further manage to spend it.
High premiums coupled with very high deductibles may also be leading to massive increases in upkeep fees or unique assessments.
"It is not a number that is small of now. We are now evaluating a few hundred structures through the Lower Mainland which can be seeing such dramatic increases, " said Gioventu.
Doug Whicker, a strata president of the New Westminster condo complex facing a 40 % insurance coverage premium enhance, has delivered a page to Premier John Horgan seeking intervention. He claims it really is reached a crisis and shows that B.C. Put up a non-profit insurance that is strata much like ICBC.
"Instantly. We can not wait, " stated Whicker.
"Government intervention is important and it is imperative, " included Khan.
CTV News reached off to B.C. Finance Minister Carole James, who's recognized the issue.
"We think you will find good possibilities to have the ability to consult with the industry, to consult with condos, to consult with insurance firms, and appear at how exactly we can deal with this dilemma, " she stated.
Robert de Pruis aided by the Insurance Bureau of Canada's western workplace told CTV Information the IBC has been around experience of insurance coverage brokers, underwriters and condo groups and it is intending to hold meetings that are regional the united states to deal with the condo insurance problems — including one in B.C. In March — to attempt to find innovative answers to deal with the issue.
In a statement released Friday, the Insurance Brokers Association of B.C. Is calling for consultations among all stakeholders having a "focus on proposed attainable legislative action. " The IBABC can also be suggesting two modifications towards the Strata Property Act. The very first would experience a $50,000 limit on loss assessments, that your company states may well not use in instances involving negligence. The 2nd modification would start to see the addition of a regular concept of a strata device.
"IBABC recognizes these modifications won't straight deal with the strata-building that is rising and deductibles, however they are foundational pieces to this problem together with long-lasting security associated with the B.C. Strata insurance coverage market, " the corporation stated in a declaration.
"those two suggestions could protect an incredible number of strata product owners from further threat of losing their domiciles and help that is likely future insurance coverage market rounds. "
If you are a flat owner looking over this and are also focused on how exactly to protect your investment, there is small you can certainly do except to attempt to find insurance coverage to pay for high deductibles. But without having a master condominium insurance coverage, you are away from fortune.
The structures which are being hardest struck are the ones which can be the highest priced: structures with a number that is high of claims and strata corporations which have did not continue with maintenance and repairs.
The insurance coverage Bureau of Canada claims it really is an issue that is complex will not be fixed quickly.
But, for Khan as well as others in his situation without insurance coverage it is an urgent situation.
"If my loan provider discovers they are going to pull the home loan, " he stated.

During the reign of Elizabeth I, England set up trading companies in Turkey, Russia, and the East Indies, explored the coast of North America, and established colonies there. In the early seventeenth century those colonies were expanded and the systematic colonization of Ulster in Ireland got underway. The first British Empire was a mercantile one. Under both the Stuarts and Cromwellthe mercantilist outlines of further colonization and Empire-building became more and more apparent.
Foreign imperialism in China A depiction of Europeans and Japanese strangling Chinese nationalism Foreign imperialism in China was a critical cause of revolutionary sentiment. European interest in dates back to Marco Polo, the Venetian explorer who completed two expeditions to China in the late s and published a widely read account of his voyages.
Over the next three centuries Britain, France, Spain, Holland and Portugal all established colonies and trade links in Asia. Of these five imperial powers, the British were comparative latecomers to Asia, conquering India, Penang, Singapore, Burma and other territories by the late s.
The outcome of Japan opening its doors was a rapid The british imperialism of china from feudalism to modern industry. With its manufacturing economy, natural resources and enormous population, the Middle Kingdom was a rich prize for Western capitalists. But the actions of foreign imperialists in China also undermined the weakening Qing regime.
Among first foreigners to arrive in China were Christian missionaries. Franciscan monks travelled there in the 13th century, followed by a wave of Jesuits in the 16th century.
One of these Jesuit missionaries, Johann Adam Schall von Bell, became an influential advisor to the first Qing emperor. Over the next few decades, the Qing leadership tried to restrict foreign trade to Macau and the surrounding region, though their efforts were largely in vain.
In the Qing introduced the canton system, requiring foreign companies to trade with a Chinese merchant collective — not directly with the Chinese people. These attempts to limit and control foreign trade activity failed and it began to spread beyond the south-east.
British companies purchased vast amounts of Chinese tea, as well as luxuries like silks, porcelain and other decorative items. Opium is an addictive narcotic, extracted from the poppy flower and usually taken through smoking. Opium was used in China as early as the 15th century — however opium smoking was largely restricted to the privileged classes.
British ships began landing supplies of opium in China in the late s and early s, mainly around the mouth of the Pearl River in Guangdong. Opium became more available and more affordable to all levels of Chinese society, even the working classes. The Qing government understood the social and economic dangers posed by opium.
Beijing attempted to ban its use and importation several times, but these restrictions were difficult to enforce and the British generally ignored them. A French depiction of fighting in the Second Opium War, In a Qing commissioner seized and destroyed 20, cases of British-imported opium, a move that triggered the First Opium War This defeat resulted in a humiliating treaty.
Again the Qing military suffered a humiliating defeat and the emperor was forced into a one-sided treaty.
The Treaty of Tientsin removed the last significant barriers to foreign imperialism in China. Opium use and importation were legalised. Restrictions on Christianity were removed and foreigners were permitted to travel freely around China.
Foreign governments were permitted to establish legations diplomatic compounds in the imperial capital, Beijing — legations that were later attacked during the Boxer Rebellion Russians were unpredictable and, what was much worse, inefficient.
The Japanese were predators, but that was no surprise. But in Chinese eyes the chief foreign encumbrance was still the presence of Great Britain, its first invader.
Thornton, historian With the doors to China thrown open, foreign diplomats, officials, traders and missionaries poured in through the second half of the 19th century. Foreign merchants and agents came to exert strong influence, if not control, over government and commerce in these regions.
The Qing rulers retained their sovereignty and control of the national government, though in reality much of China was under foreign control. This idea was reflected in Western cartoons that depicted China as a gigantic pie or cake, carved up and devoured by European monarchs.
Meanwhile, the Qing regime seemed utterly unable to prevent or resist this process. The First Sino-Japanese War, as it became known, began over disputed territorial control of the Korean peninsula.
This war was another disaster for China. The Japanese had spent the previous quarter of a century embracing industrialism, modern production methods and Western approaches to military command and organisation. In contrast, the Qing had spent most of this period resisting modernisation.
Control of Liaodong gave the Japanese a foothold in Manchuria, where they would stage an invasion of China during the s. These negotiations, however, were done with the other imperial powers in China — not with the Qing government. Beijing was informed rather than consulted, a measure of how impotent and irrelevant the Qing regime had become.
As the 19th century came to an end, China found itself drug-addled, divided, exploited by foreign interests and plagued by corrupt officials.The primary motive of British imperialism in China in the nineteenth century was economic. There was a high demand for Chinese tea, silk and porcelain in the British market.
However, Britain did not possess sufficient silver to trade with the Qing Empire. The Sun Never Set on the British Empire, "Dominion over palm and pine" Some chronicler, speaking of Asia, asserted that one man ruled as much land as the sun passed, and his statement was not true because he placed all Africa and Europe outside the limits .
In the early s, the British treasury was being depleted due to its dependence upon imported tea from China. The Chinese still considered their nation to be the Middle Kingdom, and therefore viewed the goods the Europeans brought to trade withWestern factories in Canton, China.

These startling discoveries underlined the extent to which archaeological research is responsible for any knowledge of. The British Empire comprised the dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates and other territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom and its predecessor states.
It originated with the overseas possessions and trading posts established by England between the late 16th and early 18th centuries. At its height, it was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the. The British Empire is the most extensive empire in world history and for a time was the foremost global power.

"It's not beans. It doesn't have meat or TVP. A lot of chilis don't go down this road. I felt full, but not stodgy. I ate the whole bowl, I thought it was really yummy"

5 garlic cloves
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp Mexican chili powder
1 jalapeño
1 lb sweet potatoes
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 large can of diced tomatoes (796ml can)
2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
2 cups mung bean sprouts (homemade or store bought ready to go sprout mix)
Topping (*not optional)
1 med avocado
juice of 1/2 lime
1 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp chopped cilantro
Pinch of salt
1 cup mung bean sprouts
2-4 tbsp water
– Serve with a big handful of tortilla chips. Que Pasa are good for dipping because they don't break as often…
– Top with a handful of chopped green onions and / or chopped cilantro
– Top with grated cheese or sour cream
– Fill and boil the kettle (to make stock)
– Put a large pot over medium heat and melt the coconut oil.

– De-seed and dice the jalapeño. Peel and cube the sweet potatoes (1/2′ cubes approx). Add to the pot with the tomato paste and stir. Add a splash of water to stop anything sticking if contents of pot becomes dry.
– Allow to cook for a further 5 minutes while you open your can of tomatoes and make your vegetable broth. Add both to the pot and stir. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook until the sweet potatoes are tender 20-25 minutes.
– While the chili simmers, make your topper. In a deep sided bowl, mash the avocado, then stir through the lime juice, olive oil, finely chopped cilantro & salt to taste. In terms of consistency, you're going for somewhere between mayo and plain yogurt… add drops of water and stir through until desired consistency reached.
– Stir through mung bean sprouts. Add further lime or salt to taste.
– Before serving, stir the 2 remaining cups of sprouted mung beans through the chili.
– Serve topped with a big glorious blob of the avocado sprout magic and a drizzle of olive oil. Perhaps a sprinkle of Maldon salt.

– Add a pinch of chipotle powder or a tsp of blitzed chipotles in adobo sauce when adding the spices for an additional kick
Faff Notes:
There's a bit of chopping, but you can prep most things as the stage before cooks. One pan, one bowl, one chopping board. Not too shabby. Oh…and there's obviously remembering to make sprouts 4 days earlier… there is that… (do I hear 'shop bought' anyone?)
Flavour Notes:
This is a good all rounder. Solid family meal. The magic is in the topper, seriously, it takes it to a whole new place. A place where you want to high-5 yourself, and not mind if anyone else sees you…
As my man friend so eloquently stated, 'it fills you up but you don't feel stodgy'. It really is a lovely lighter alternative to more traditional heavier chilis.
For the wee one I keep the jalapeño content to a minimum, remove a bowl for her before serving, then add a 1/2 tsp of chipotle chili powder to the remaining adult pot. She also loves hers smothered in melted cheese.

Lake Fire Rescue trains at national academy
TAVARES — Five Lake County Fire Rescue personnel recently attended the National Fire Academy's Florida State Weekend training in Emmitsburg, Maryland.
Alongside their peers from Maine and Indiana, Lake County firefighters studied fire investigation, firefighter safety, strategy and tactics for the initial arriving company officer.
To date, more than 50 Lake County firefighters have attended the academy, which offers firefighters an opportunity to further their experience and education with instruction from subject-matter experts.
"While the national average for fire departments is less than 2 percent attendance, Lake County is very proud that 25 percent of its staff have now attended this national training — an unbelievable accomplishment," said Fire Chief Jim Dickerson in a press release. "Since 2014, Lake County has allowed me to take firefighters, who have never attended this prestigious school, for the Florida State weekend. Although the weekend delivery is a small snapshot of what is offered to fire service personnel worldwide, every attendee is exposed to the National Fire Academy in the hopes each will return for a week-long course."
Chief Dickerson plans to bring additional firefighters to the training next year.

Welcome Back, Sarah Jessica!
'How do you go from years of happy marriage to wanting to blow someone's head off?†Sarah Jessica Parker asks her husband. "I want to save my life while I still care about it. I don't love you any more. I want a divorce.†Fans of "Sex and the City" need not fear, though. Carrie Bradshaw, the character Parker played in that huge Noughties hit, isn't splitting from Mr Big. She's in a new role now, in "Divorce," her first on the small screen since she hung up Carrie's Manolo Blahniks, and she is superb in it. She plays a woman who is older and calmer, but not much wiser, than Carrie.

Second and final part of this no-holds barred,
unabridged and completely unexpurgated expose of your editor's Life-with-Palms
by Imtiaz McDoom-Gafoor, London, UK
Chamaerops No.38, Spring Edition 2000
Medemia argun, Nubian desert, Sudan
Imtiaz McDoom-Gafoor: Another palm recently available
is Trithrinax campestris. Where does it come from and what conditions
does it grow in?
Martin: Trithrinax campestris is an absolutely beautiful
palm, one of the most striking palms in the world Id say.
It has very stiff, very blue, fan shaped leaves and its trunk is
covered in an intricate network of old leaf bases and fibres and
spines - a very dramatic looking palm. It grows in the west of Argentina,
near a place called Corrientes. It grows in a band 50 miles long
and 20 miles wide and there are hundreds of thousands of trees in
this band. Large parts of this area are being cleared for the planting
of genetically modified foods like soya and sunflowers. The bulldozers
are sent in, destroying all these venerable old trees, often 100
years old, in an area of a couple of square miles at a time. They
are bulldozed into the middle of the field, poured diesel on and
set light to and the ashes ploughed into the ground. Sunflower and
soya seeds are then planted in their place. The bulldozers then
move on to the next area and repeat the same thing. I have a contact
there that gets in before the bulldozers and takes these Trithrinax
out of the ground and reroots them over several months and ships
them over to Europe. We had a container in the summer and they are
growing well in our back field. They are dramatic in appearance,
extremely wind resistant, surely one of the cold hardiest palms
in the world, and a stunning addition to an exotic garden.
IMG: What is the most memorable palm trip you have
been on?
Martin: It was rediscovering Medemia argun in the
Sudan. It was last recorded in Egypt in 1964 (a solitary tree, now
dead) and not recorded in Sudan since the 1920s or 30s.
We mounted an expedition to try to find it. It was said to grow
near a town called Murrat Wells, north of Khartoum. We arrived at
a city called Atbara on the River Nile and showed photographs of
Medemia argun but no one had heard of Murrat Wells until an old
camel driver was summoned. He said not only did he know Murrat Wells
but he also knew Medemia. Our excitement can only be imagined! After
a couple of days in the desert we came to Murrat Wells and it became
obvious why it was not on any modern map - it was a ghost town,
an old gold mining town deserted when the gold ran out. Beyond the
town the landscape changed and it became a long, low valley and
right at the end we could see something through the heat haze that
looked vaguely like a palm tree, maybe a Washingtonia or a Hyphaene.
As we got closer we realised it was Medemia argun, it was just so
exciting !
We saw a number of trees, some of which were heavy with thousands
of big, plum sized, dark blue-black fruits. Two years later we returned
and found perhaps a thousand trees in several scattered populations.
Some were in good condition, others in very poor condition, and
it suggests that the underground water, which keeps them alive,
changed course over the years and deprived the palms of water and
hence their poor condition. However, there were many and they were
reproducing in the wild. I think their future is OK; they dont
really have any natural enemies, but there is a suggestion that
the whole area is much dryer than it was, so their long term security
is not known. We were able to distribute these seeds to most of
the botanical gardens in the world. It is the first time they have
been introduced into cultivation outside of the Sudan and many are
now growing around the world, wherever the habitat is suitable for
them. It was a very exciting trip and we had the added bonus of
being able to prove that this palm, which had previously been thought
to be extinct, was alive and well.
IMG: Why are so many potentially cold hardy palms
so poorly available in cultivation?
Martin: A lot of palms are obscure because they grow
in places that are difficult to access. Many grow on borders, like
Trachycarpus princeps in China, Burma, and Tibet. Likewise, Trachycarpus
takil grows on the border between India and Nepal. These border
areas are always very sensitive and both India and China are very
touchy about their borders, so there are always personal risks involved
in being in these areas. In addition to political problems, many
palms grow on cliff faces which are difficult to climb. The locals
may have cut down the more accessible palms, so getting to the remaining
ones is often a physical challenge. You have to sometimes row across
fast flowing rivers, climb up steep cliffs, and certainly climb
trees. One trip in South America we invested in a pair of tree spikes,
which are like spurs but with a spike on the inside and you strap
these to your legs. You literally climb up the trees, with a safety
harness, which would cushion you in the event of a fall. When the
palm is 40 ft tall and it is a Ceroxylon whose trunk is covered
in wax, its a hairy experience. Other times we have been stuck
in deep mud trying to cross the Andes. The higher you go the wetter
it is. The roads are unmade and muddy and you are miles from anywhere.
You have to make a decision: should we turn around or should we
go for it, and always it seems we went for it! Stuck in mud at night
at 3500m in the Andes, miles from civilisation, is not a lot of
fun, but all part of the experience. More than once weve had
to sleep in the car and go for help in the morning.
IMG: What is the most dangerous trip that you have
been on?
Martin: The most dangerous place we have ever been
to, and the country I was most glad to leave, was Colombia. We went
there not knowing how dangerous it was, and once there we met a
professor at the university in Bogota who was surprised that we
appeared to be naive enough not to know how dangerous it was. We
phoned up our respective embassies. I phoned up the British embassy
and they said that under no circumstances should we travel by road.
There have been several British nationals kidnapped already and
some of them are still in captivity. The embassy staff doesnt
travel by road unless it is absolutely necessary and then they go
with bulletproof vehicles and police escort front and back. Toby
phoned up the German embassy and was told a similar report: there
had been twelve German nationals kidnapped so far that year, and
kidnapping in Colombia is a huge business. And there we were in
our shiny, bright green, brand new, obviously hired car, saying
Tourists - come and get us! I was very nervous driving
around the countryside in Colombia. In fact, we had planned to spend
10 days there, and 10 days in Ecuador. We spent just 3 days in Colombia
and couldnt wait to leave. The extra 7 days we spent in Ecuador
and it was absolutely not wasted.
IMG: Which countries would you like to visit that
you have not previously been to?
Martin: I would like to go to Vietnam. North Vietnam
is worth visiting although there are probably a few unexploded mines
there which gives pause for thought. There has been very little
botanical exploration and many parts are still undiscovered from
a botanical viewpoint. I would also like to visit some other South
American countries. We briefly visited Brazil but it is a vast country.
I especially would like to see the temperate southern part, and
I would like to explore that properly from a palm point of view.
And of course, Burma, which I mentioned earlier.
IMG: You were involved in the formation of the
European Palm Society. When was it formed and how has it evolved?
Martin: It was formed about 9 years ago based on the
old Temperate Zone Chapter which was run by Tamar Myers in Ohio.
She ran the magazine for many years and I was just absolutely hooked
on it and used to read and devour and digest every word. It was
a shock when Tamar said she was to stop producing it. So three of
us got together, Tony King, John Churcher and myself, and decided
to start up the European Palm Society. At that stage we didnt
know what we would call the society or the magazine. We thought
of calling it Jubaea but then it seemed logical to name
it after a European palm and hence the name Chamaerops.
It now has nearly a thousand members.
IMG: How did the Palm Centre first begin?
Martin: The Palm Centre opened in 1989 after I started
selling duplicate palm seedlings. Eventually my entire house and
garden was filled with palms. I would have customers come round
at weekend and someone would ask for a palm and I would say, yes
I think there is one in the second bedroom or one on the first landing.
And so we would troop up the stairs and there would be another party
coming down. It got ridiculous! I started buying from Spain and
40ft lorries would be pulling up outside and blocking up all the
traffic. It was absurd and something had to be done. It took me
a year to find suitable premises and I eventually found a small
nursery, or shop and yard to be more accurate, in East Sheen, in
West London, not far from Kew Gardens. I remembered driving out
there for the first time and I thought that any minute I was going
to drive off the edge of the world. It just seemed so remote.
I had sleepless nights for about the only time in my life worrying
about the enormous expense of opening it. I would go to bed at 11
oclock or midnight and would wake up at 2 oclock in
a cold sweat thinking, oh God this is the most stupid thing I have
ever done, its never going to work, everyone is going to laugh
at me. But in fact it began well, and Ive never really looked
IMG: Where do you source the wide and varied palms
that you sell?
Martin: These days we get palms and other plants from
the four corners of the world. We get tree ferns from New Zealand
and Australia, big palms from Argentina in South America, from Costa
Rica in Central America, a lot from the United States and from several
countries in Europe, notably Spain but also Sicily. In fact, anywhere
where there are commercial nurseries set up for the export of palms.
Interestingly, I am always coming across new nurseries, new species
to try. The range of species seems to be increasing whereas you
would expect it to be finite.
IMG: The Palm Centre is now working closely with
a nursery in Spain to increase the availability of hardy palms in
Britain. Tell me about this venture.
Martin: It is so frustrating to go to some of the
best nurseries in the world, say in Florida or California and find
that they have just two or three plants of a rare hardy palm or
four or five or some that they dont want to sell. There is
no difficulty in growing these palms or getting hold of seed but
you ask yourself why arent they growing thousands of them
instead of only two or three plants? It cant be because there
is no demand. So a few years ago we started to supply large numbers
of seeds to a nursery near Valencia in Spain which they are growing
on for us. It now has about 30 or 40 species of cold hardy and cool
hardy palms, about 150,000 rare young palms, which no one else in
the world seems to be growing in commercial quantities. In a few
years time they will be available in good numbers and in reasonable
sizes. As we have discovered, often the only way to get these palms
in any numbers is to grow them yourself.
IMG: Do you obtain seeds from cultivated plants
or from the wild?
Martin: All our seeds are collected from the wild.
If anybody has any problem with the morality of collecting seeds
in the wild I must say that a lot of seeds in the wild dont
germinate, as the conditions are not right. A lot are also attacked
by insects or animals and so dont germinate. I have no qualms
about collecting seeds in the wild because that is often the only
way that they will germinate. Also it is often the only way to introduce
the palms into cultivation. I cant pretend that having people
grow Medemia argun or Nannorrhops ritchiana in England will save
them from extinction, but we do sell seeds around the world. A lot
of them will go on to produce perhaps quite a sizeable population
of these rare palms and it may have an effect on the future survival
of the species.
IMG: The Palm Centre has expanded considerably.
Tell me about it.
Martin: I opened up the nursery in Sheen in1989 having
bought the lease from a gentleman who was moving to a larger nursery
in nearby Ham. After a year I phoned him up and said could we meet,
and he told me afterwards that he thought I was going to say that
the Palm Centre is doing so badly would he like to take the lease
back. In fact, I was saying to him that the Palm Centre is doing
so well could I rent some space at his new nursery in Ham. So we
have actually had a presence here in Ham where the nursery is currently
situated for a number of years as we rented a part of the glasshouse.
Very recently we had the opportunity to take over the whole site,
about 5 acres.
At the old shop it was just me and one or two people. These days
it is over 20 people, 10 permanently on the payroll plus casuals,
and it has turned into quite a sizeable business. It has expanded
largely due in part to the effect of television programmes about
garden makeovers. People see palms and bamboos and other exotics
featured on these programmes and they want them. We are also wholesaling
palms now to other garden centres and the demand is increasing.
There is a general movement in the direction of exotic plants.
IMG: How long ago did you begin your garden, how
has it developed over the years and what are some of the more unusual
palms that you grow in it?
Martin: I began the garden at more or less the same
time as the Palm Centre. It is situated in south London in a sheltered
microclimate, since the north and east winds have to come over the
city before reaching that area. There are many rare and unusual
palms in it. Most of the Trachycarpus species are grown there, nanus,
martianus, oreophilus, perhaps the largest oreophilus outside of
Thailand. Lytocaryum weddellianum has been growing for three years
and is not affected by the cold despite its delicate appearance.
Cycas revoluta as well. Generally, Cycads dont do very well
in this country as they need a certain level of heat, and duration
of warm weather, before growing new fronds. When they do it is usually
too late in the season. I have lots of bamboos, also Ceroxylons,
and Guihaya argyrata, Chamaerops var. cerifera, several of the smaller
Chamaedorea palms which are under-used in this country. Both Chamaedorea
radicalis and Chamaedorea microspadix can recover from -8c. I am
also growing Rhapis multifida outdoors which is growing well. Rhapis
excelsa is the only commonly available Rhapis species in Britain,
yet there at least 8 species and several obscure ones. Arenga engleri
has also been undamaged by frost.
IMG: Trachycarpus fortunei and Chamaerops humilis
have been the main palms for over 150 years. What do you consider
will complement or supersede them in the 21st century?
Martin: Trachycarpus wagnerianus, and latisectus when
they become more widely available. Also Chamaerops cerifera will
become more popular than the green form although it is much slower
growing. Maybe some of the more exotic palms like Plectocomia himalayana
and Caryota Himalaya.
IMG: What do you consider to be your most important
contribution to the world of hardy palms?
I suppose it is opening the Palm Centre and endeavouring
to introduce new hardy palms into the country generally. I am constantly
striving to increase the range of hardy palms available to the British
and European public through a combination of seed collecting trips
abroad supplemented by buying in palms from overseas. Also, by selling
seeds to overseas nurseries for onward growing in other parts of
the world, these palm collecting trips reach a wider market. Sometimes
its an uphill battle. Customers are sometimes reluctant to
consider other palms and are resistant to change, preferring to
choose only the familiar, common palms like Trachycarpus and Chamaerops.
It can be so frustrating. I would like to change peoples perception
from seeing hardy palms as potted plants, to be stood outside for
the summer only, to seeing them as garden trees, an integral part
of the landscape. We are growing successfully many hardy palms that
are not thought of as hardy like Plectocomia himalayana. If you
give some palms minimum protection they grow very well like the
Chamaedoreas. Also experiment with different species. If you have
to protect them for a couple of weeks during the winter then fine.
It is well worth the special attention because they are then there
for the other 50 weeks of the year to enjoy. Instead of everybody
waiting for everyone else, it needs a few pioneers to actually plant
these palms and take a risk as there is always a risk involved.
I wish people would grow more Jubaeas. I know they are very expensive,
particularly reasonably sized ones. Everyone flocks to Cornwall
to see the large one in Torquay with 20 ft of trunk but dont
consider planting one themselves. If 99 more were planted 100 years
ago there would have been 100 to admire today instead of just the
one. There are lots more discoveries to be made. My mission is to
get palms planted outdoors!
IMG: Thank you for the interview. It was interesting
and I wish you well with the Palm Centre and future palm expeditions

FLOWERING TIME 5-7 weeks
MEDICAL CONDITIONS Insomnia, Lack of Appetite, Stress
MEDICINAL PROPERTIES Good for stress release, increasing appetite, helps with insomnia
TASTE / FLAVOUR Earthy, Sweet
EFFECT Physical, Relaxing
This variety was bred to incorporate the best elements of all strains to create a plant that is both easy to cultivate and presents a fantastic product. This strain has a pleasantly sweet taste with subtly earthy undertones and a strong, stony, positive effect.
Bubble Gum
From its origins in Indiana to its later development in the Netherlands, this world-famous indica strain has developed notoriety for its easy-going yet soaring effect. The distinctive sweet taste and smell of this award-winning cannabis contributes to the similarly idiosyncratic yet pleasing sweet flavour of Bubble Kush Automatic.
OG Kush
This exceedingly popular strain has qualities of both indica and sativa, and its intense and long-lasting effects have played no small part in the variety's fame throughout the world.
Royal Critical Automatic
Royal Critical Automatic is popular with growers due its exceptionally quick and easy growing process and large per-plant yields.
As far as growing is concerned, these seeds are autoflowering. Unlike traditional feminized seeds, such as traditional Bubba Kush and Bubble Kush Feminized seeds, growers do not have to worry about making sure the plants get 12 hours of direct light a day. Thanks to the ruderalis elements of this strain's genetics, these plants flower on their own within about five to seven weeks, just like other seeds such as Bubble Gum Automatic or Bubba Kush Automatic, both of which are similarly beloved by growers for yield and ease of growing.
When growing outdoors, Bubble Kush Automatic is ready for harvest in seven to eight weeks. Indoors, fully grown plants are 70 to 100 centimetres high, and outdoors the height ranges from 100 to 140 centimeters. Growers can expect a healthy yield of 120 to 170 grams per outdoor plant after drying.
Once harvested, this variety packs a wallop with 16 percent THC. The dominant effect reported with this strain is a sense of euphoria, with many users noting this variety's usefulness for stress release. Since this cannabis is genetically 60 percent indica, typical incida effects are also present including increased appetite and physical relaxation. Some insomniacs find this strain useful as a sleep aid, but the well-rounded high does not leave users feeling overwhelmingly lethargic or drowsy.
These hardy seeds are ideal for growers who desire a fast growing and automatically flowering plant that does not require the same effort as more traditional feminized seeds. This hybrid strain is continuing to earn fans not only for its straightforward growing process but also its agreeable taste and robust effects.

Day 1 – 11 hours 39 minutes – 380 miles
La Ceiba, Honduras to Guatemala City, Guatemala
This was a great day that covered the length of Honduras and included a 40-minute border crossing. Rained the last hour. Great food in Guatemala City.
Day 2 – 11 hours 25 minutes – 244 miles
Guatemala City to Hehuetenango, Guatemala
This was our worst day. Due to storms we passed 300+ mud and rock slides and lost six hours to detours. The craziest roads of the trip were here. Dumpiest hotel of the trip.
Day 3 – 13 hours 50 minutes – 345 miles
Hehuetenango to Villahermosa, Mexico
Had a 1 hour 40 minute border crossing into Mexico. Much nicer roads, but all were windy and through the mountains. Very slow going. Amazing street tacos in Villahermosa.
Day 4 – 13 hours 30 minutes – 594 miles
Villahermosa to Tampico, Mexico
After three days of winding roads we finally found some straight toll roads and made good time. First day without police/military check points. More great street tacos and great $18 hotel.
Day 5 – 13 hours 50 minutes – 623 miles
Tampico to Monclova, Mexico
Day started with terrible roads. We were a little depressed and way behind schedule. After lunch we hit our first straight/fast roads of the trip and made it 140 miles further then planned.
Day 6 – 15 hours 15 minutes – 828 miles
Monclova to Deming, New Mexico
Great roads the last 2 hours of Mexico. Ten minute border crossing into the US. Got on highway 10 in Texas and crossed the entire state. Got about 300 miles further then planned.
Day 7 – 14 hours 50 minutes – 848 miles
Deming to Kettleman City, CA
Crossed all of New Mexico and Arizona. Best roads of the trip. Purposefully stopped three hours from Sacramento so we could make it to church the next morning.
Day 8 – 3 hours 1 minute – 201 miles
Kettleman City to Elk Grove, CA
Arrived at our home church two days ahead of our expected arrival. Walked in just before the service started to surprise everyone.
TOTALS – 97 hours 20 minutes hours behind the wheel – 4063 miles – averaged 580 miles per day
