World Bank says women still face huge inequalities in employment and lack basic freedoms and opportunities despite having academic qualifications they lacked 10 years ago.
In the latest report titled 'Gender at Work: A Companion to the World Development Report on Jobs' released this week, the bank says less than half of women have jobs, compared with almost four fifths of men globally.
"Girls and women still learn less, earn less, and have fewer assets and face discriminatory laws and norms that constrain their time and choices, and their ability to own or inherit property, open a bank account, or get a loan," the report says.
It said worldwide participation of women in the labor force over the last two decades has stagnated, declining from 57 per cent to 55 per cent.
"Men are nearly twice as likely as women to have full-time jobs and the former's participation is at 25 percent low in the Middle East and North Africa."
The report added that gender gaps cut across the farming, entrepreneurship, and employment sectors with gender specific constraints contributing to the low output of women in agriculture and less profits in investment as they operate smaller firms.
"Women are concentrated in occupations and sectors with lower barriers to entry and are more likely to work in temporary and part-time jobs, with little likelihood of being promoted and they also do the vast majority of unpaid care and housework," it said.
To ignite gender equality in the world of work, the report recommends governments and the private sector to address constraints across its life cycle and reforming the "rules of the game" in order to address overlapping disadvantages.
Closing data gaps and investing in knowledge will enable more evidence based policy making and tracking of results while proactive private sector leadership and innovation can encourage women participation and success in careers, the report said.

MDC-T losing candidates in the ongoing primary elections have alleged that the election process was flawed resulting in massive rigging.
Most of the candidates are demanding a re-run in constituencies they lost. So far complaints have been raised in Harare, Bulawayo and Chitungwiza.
A number of sitting MPs and party bigwigs lost in the primary elections and confirmation processes held last weekend.
Some of the losing candidates have written letters of complaints to MDC-T leader and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, national organising secretary Nelson Chamisa, national chairperson Lovemore Moyo and party secretary-general Tendai Biti.
Alec Masomera, the Dzivaresekwa district chairperson who lost by 10 votes to Solomon Madzore in Dzivarasekwa Constituency, last week claimed that the elections were rigged.
Masomera, who garnered 181 votes against Madzore's 191, said three branches in the constituency which he claimed were his strongholds were not allowed to vote, prejudicing him of more than 100 votes.
Had they been allowed to vote, he would have won the ticket to represent the party in national elections, Masomera claimed in a letter dated May 26 2013 to the party's leadership, where he insisted that he was robbed of victory.
"The flawedness of the election started with a party hosted by Solomon Madzore for the electorate and party security personnel who conducted the elections held on the eve of the primary elections at sitting and aspiring Councillor Herman Karimakwenda's house and they further had breakfast at the same place," he said.
He added: "This clearly manifests vote-buying by Solomon Madzore and manipulation of party security personnel. Furthermore, some structures were not allowed to vote in this primary election."
There are claims that the presiding officer had failed to set up an electoral college and election rules, thereby making it difficult to determine the number of candidates allowed to vote.
More than 200 disenfranchised district members have also signed a petition which they handed over to Chamisa demanding that they be allowed to vote.
Madzore yesterday denied the allegations raised by Masomera.
"Masomera was the one who did all the accreditation because he is the district chairperson, so he is the one who knows better than me. I only participated as a candidate. As a candidate I don't have power to accredit people. Even though I am part of the national leadership, I am not allowed to involve myself in the running and management of the election process."
MDC-T will not rerun primaries: Chamisa
Sources in MDC-T said human rights activist Sten Zvorwadza, who lost to radio personality Eric Knight in Mbare, may have also lodged a complaint about the way the elections were conducted.
Zvorwadza refused to comment yesterday, referring all questions to the party's spokesperson, Douglas Mwonzora.
"I am not allowed to comment because I don't have the mandate," he said. "You can call Mwonzora. The issue is being dealt with internally so I cannot tell you anything."
Another losing candidate in Harare, who requested anonymity, blamed Chamisa for his defeat.
"Chamisa is the one who caused chaos this side because he selected people who were not in the structures for the nomination process."
Chamisa confirmed receiving letters of complaint but dismissed assertions that he played a part in rigging. He also dismissed the possibility of a re-run in the disputed constituencies.
"Most candidates endorsed the elections and we are no takers to afterthought," he said.
"All things are managed internally and it will get due recognition. There are so many remedies to these issues, depending on the circumstances. The ballots could be recounted or verified, but our teams did a very good job."
Chamisa however, would not be drawn into saying how many constituencies were being disputed.

Officials from the Federal Aviation Administration, US National Transportation Safety Board and Boeing joined Japanese authorities in the probe.
They were looking into what caused warning lights to go off on an All Nippon Airways domestic flight earlier this week, prompting the aircraft to make an emergency landing at Takamatsu airport.
The incident prompted regulators in the United States and around the world to ground the 50 Dreamliners in service.

THE WHO's tarnished reputation suffered a further blow last week, when the American TV programme
Fernando Antezana immediately removed his name from the list of candidates vying to become the WHO's next director-general. But the current incumbent, Hiroshi Nakajima, has refused to sack his beleaguered deputy.
Antezana has stated that he has a doctorate from the Mayor de San Simón University in Cochambamba, Bolivia. But
Nakajima, who has promoted Antezana three times, last week issued a statement backing his deputy: "I have decided that he will continue to act as my deputy-director general...he is a great asset for the organisation." Nakajima argues that Antezana's Bolivian degree is equivalent to a PhD.
Under Nakajima's 10-year reign, the WHO has come under attack for its bureaucratic inefficiency and lack ...

Logitech to unload Harmony line after 'disappointing' quarter
The electronics company blames continued weakness in the global PC market for strategy shift away from remote controls, speaker docks, and console gaming peripherals.
Logitech today announced its intention to sell its Harmony remotes division after a "disappointing" third quarter.
The electronics company posted an operating loss of $180 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 on sales of $615 million, a 14 percent decline over the same period last year.
"As we articulated when we started the third quarter, continued weakness in the global PC market was the primary factor in our disappointing Q3 results," Logitech CEO Bracken P. Darrell said in a statement. "These results are unacceptable and we are taking decisive action as an outcome of my strategic review."
Putting the blame for the disappointing results squarely on the weak PC market worldwide, the company said it plans to focus more on mobile computing, specifically tablets and smartphones. Darrell said the company has identified product categories that don't fit in with the Logitech's new strategy.
"As a result, we have initiated the process to divest our remote controls and digital video security categories, and we plan to discontinue other non-strategic products, such as speaker docks and console gaming, by the end of calendar year 2013," he said.
Logitech acquired the Harmony line in 2004 when it purchased privately held Intrigue Technologies of Canada for $29 million in cash.

text: The Like Like wiki last edited by Tgrills on 06/09/15 11:26PM View full history OverviewLike Likes are one of the trademark enemies of The Legend of Zelda series, they're like a jelly like matter that moves like water. Throughout the games, they might show up in one or two places but they aren't a common enemy. Like Likes aren't aggressive, they generally will leave Link alone unless he gets close. If the player gets close, they suck Link in and will cause damage. Players can always escape by wiggiling back and forth; however, the shield may still be consumed by the Like Like. If players lose a shield, the Like Like can be killed to get it back. Alternatively, players can go to the store and get a new one.

Cash in advance is a term describing terms of purchase, when full payment for a good or service is due before the merchandise is shipped. This presents the least risk to a seller while having the most risk to the buyer. It is often combined with other terms such as Free On Board, which require the buyer to take possession of the merchandise as soon as it is loaded onto transportation, meaning the buyer is out of luck if something happens to the shipment en route. In actual daily business these sort of terms are extremely rare unless the goods or services are of phenomenal value and high fragility.
A constraint is any operating condition that puts a limit on the ability of a business to conduct it's operations.
A company with $5000 on hand and incomes of $3000 a month has a constraint of $8000. That means, if the terms of an economic exchange (buying equipment, etc) require terms that are cash-in-advance, then the limit that the company can actually obtain is $8000.
It is mostly used in a theoretical sense, to provide proofs of economic effieciencies, since it does not (by definition) involve terms of credit or financing.
In these modelling theories, CIAC tends to show that up-front restrictions artificially limit the ability of companies to maintain positive inventory levels while reducing capital investment. They also inhibit real wealth in terms of cash on hand while elevating the likelihood of using junk bonds as instruments of solvency, a dangerous premise.

The Cal State Northridge women's soccer team (3-5) returns to Matador Soccer Field for its only game of the week, a Friday match against Hawai'i. The Matadors will hope to regain their scoring touch at home, as they went scoreless in over 180 minutes last weekend at the UNM Nike Classic in Albuquerque.
At the tournament, the Matadors dropped a 2-0 decision to the University of New Mexico on Sept. 11. The Lobos, the host institution for the event, scored six minutes into the match to take a lead that they would not relinquish. Two days later, CSUN dominated play, but fell 1-0 in overtime to Kent State. Northridge out-shot the Golden Flashes, 11-3, in the second half, but could not finish.
This week, the Rainbow Wahine make their second trip to Matador Soccer Field in three years with a 1-5-1 record. They are currently on a long tour of Southern California. Hawai'i dropped its first game of the four-game swing, 2-0, to Pepperdine on Sept. 13 and lost 1-0 to Cal State Fullerton on Sept. 16. Following the match with the Matadors, Hawai'i concludes its trip with a match at Cal State Bakersfield on Sept. 20.
Britta Bourne leads the Rainbow Wahine with seven points on the season, courtesy of three goals and an assist. Ambree Ako has two goals and an assist on the year and three other players have found the back of the net already this season. In net, Kristina Ehrett has appeared in all six match and made four starts. She owns a 2.08 goals-against-average and a .737 save percentage.
In the all-time series between the two schools, CSUN owns a 5-2 record having won the past two matches and three of the last four. The last meeting went to double-overtime with Northridge prevailing, 2-1, on Sept. 21, 2007.
Home Sweet Home
The Matadors begin a four-game homestand at Matador Soccer Field starting with Friday's match against Hawai'i. On Sept. 25, the Matadors host crosstown rival UCLA and then open up their 2009 Big West slate with matches against Cal Poly (Oct. 2) and UC Santa Barbara. Since 2004, the Matadors have posted a 29-11-3 (.709) record at home, including a 13-5-2 (.700) mark in conference play.
Things Will be Great When You're Downtown-ley
Junior Farryn Townley tallied both of CSUN's goals last week, including the game winner in the Matadors' 1-0 victory over Vermont. She is now tied for fifth in the league with her three goals on the season and leads the team with six points. For her career, Townley has nine goals, tied for the eighth most in school history. She also is seventh in the conference with 16 shots and six points.
Sonia's Story
Junior Sonia Espitia picked up her first assist of the season in the Matadors' 1-0 victory over Vermont. For the season, Espitia already has a career-high five points, including two goals. She scored her first career goal against San Diego State and then followed it up with a goal against Loyola Marymount. She is tied for ninth in the Big West with five points.
The Drenner Strikes Back
Junior Kellie Drenner made a triumphant return to the field in the Matadors' 1-0 victory over Vermont. In her first start since Oct. 21, 2007, Drenner finished with four saves, picked up the win and earned half a shutout in the Matador victory. Despite missing all of the 2008 season due to injury, Drenner has returned strong and was named one of the team's captains before the start of the season.
I Got It at Ross
Senior Kelley Ross leads the team and is tied for fifth in the conference with her two assists. One of three seniors on the CSUN roster, Ross has started all eight games for Northridge in 2009 and is a team captain. For her career, she has two goals and three assists for seven points. Ross has appeared in 63 matches and made 37 starts.
Cardenas Transfers Talent to CSUN
Junior Desiree Cardenas has made quite an impact for Northridge in her first season since transferring from Cerritos JC. She scored the Matador goal in Northridge's loss to Oregon State and then picked up an assist on Farryn Townley's game-winning goal against Vermont. Her start against the Catamounts was the first of her Northridge career.
It Was All a Dream
It has not taken senior Niki Connolly much time to get acclimated to Northridge soccer team. She is currently tied for second on the team with her two goals. Connolly recorded the game-winner against San Diego State and then successfully converted a penalty kick against LMU. A transfer from UNLV, Connolly had nine goals and seven assists in her three season with the Rebels.
We Interrupt This Jets-Raiders Game
Sophomore Heidi Farran's has made quite a leap in her production from her freshman season. Farran already has a goal and an assist in the young 2009 season. She picked up her first career tally at San Diego State and then picked up her first career helper on Farryn Townley's goal against LMU.
Updating Matadors in Season Openers
The Matadors are now 8-6-1 in their 15 season-opening contests after the 3-0 loss to San Diego. The loss also dropped their all-time road opener record to a 7-7-1. With the 3-0 victory over LMU, CSUN now owns a 7-6-2 record all time in home openers.
Oh Captain, My Captain
Leading the Matadors on the pitch and practice field for the 2009 season will be the team's three captains: Kellie Drenner, Katie Fox and Jasmine Pratt. All three are juniors and have earned the respect of their teammates in receiving the distinction. Drenner returns to the squad after missing all of 2008 due to injury and will add depth and experience to CSUN's goalkeepers. Fox and Pratt are defenders who appeared in all 19 games for CSUN in 2008. Fox added a pair of goals to her haul in 2008, finding the net against Pac 10 powers Arizona State and USC.
Matadors 5th in Preseason Poll
A preseason survey of the Big West Conference women's soccer coaches predicted a fifth-place finish for the Matadors in 2009. In the poll, CSUN received 33 points, one more than sixth-place Cal State Fullerton. UC Santa Barbara received five first-place votes and 75 points to become the preseason favorite. Long Beach State was second with 67 points and Cal Poly was third with 65 points. As it turns out, the Matadors will host the top three teams during the 2009 season.

The 371K belt sander tackles small jobs and tight spaces with ease.
Unpacking the Porter-Cable "compact belt sander," my first thought was to make a bumper sticker for it saying, "My other belt sander is a tank." My old model is a chain-driven 3x24 sander that needs its oil changed every year and weighs almost 15 pounds. Sometimes I'm tempted to drive it to work. The little Porter-Cable 371K compact belt sander is the exact opposite. At just under 5 pounds, with a 2-1/2x14 belt, it's small, light, and easy to handle.
A small tool is made for small work. The 371 is made for shaping and scribing, not for flattening large surfaces, and it does its job well. I especially liked being able to work close up against the side of the sander in tight places. It won't truly sand flush against its side, but it gets pretty close. Its flat sides also make it a good tool to chuck into a vise for stationary work.
Credit: Photo: Michael Springer
The tool is well made; it has high-quality castings with a good finish. It has plenty of power for the belt's working surface; in fact, I practically had to sit on it to get it to bog down.
The top rubber grip surface and front handle are excellently placed. Gripping over the body allows for great control. This grip/handle arrangement, when compared to a traditional belt sander, reminds me of the difference between a barrel-grip jigsaw and a D-handled one. (To give you a hint where I stand, I haven't owned a D-handle in more than 20 years.) The front handle was easy to remove to sand closer into corners.
Looking at the tool, I was tempted to try one-handed use. It wasn't pretty; I couldn't control it well. My hands are too small and the dust collection hose coming off the back interfered. By the way, this tool needs a supplemental dust collection system; there is no bag supplied.
Changing and adjusting the belt couldn't be easier. Although they're an uncommon size, the belts seem to be readily available where the tool is sold, and large sandpaper suppliers are already making belts in this new size for it also.
Over the years I've reached for this tool several times. The problem was it didn't exist. Now it's here: a small sander that's more aggressive than a random orbital and does the tasks I want a belt sander to do–directional sanding, aggressive removal of wood, and flattening surfaces. The 371K does all of this well–in a small way. A nice tool with good power, I'll certainly keep one ready under my bench. As for the larger work, there's always "The Tank."

Ridley Scott's 'The Counselor' teaser trailer debuts: 'Have you been bad?'
"You may think there are things these people are simply incapable of -- there are not." So says Brad Pitt in the first look at Ridley Scott's upcoming thriller, "The Counselor."
The first film from the celebrated director since 2012's "Prometheus," "The Counselor" is from a screenplay by novelist Cormac McCarthy ("The Road," "No Country for Old Men") and features a star-studded cast including Pitt, Michael Fassbender, Javier Bardem, Cameron Diaz and Penelope Cruz.
While the trailer is scant on details, besides letting us know that these pretty people are doing some pretty naughty things, but the film centers on Fassbender's counselor, who gets caught up in the drug trade. Bardem is his wealthy acquaintance, while Pitt is the heavy who brokers the deal. Cruz is Fassbender's love interest, while Diaz is Bardem's.
Near the end of the clip, Cruz asks, "Have you been bad?" The answer, it would appear, is, "Yes, very."
"The Counselor" opens in the U.S. on Oct. 25, 2013. Be sure to check out the teaser above.

The LA Woman is a match of two multi-award winning strains. She is great tasting and very strong. The L.A. Woman flowers a week longer than the original L.A., but a week shorter than the Martian Mean Green, making it a well balanced cross time wise. The taste is sweet and robust with the flavor lasting well after the exhale. The L.A. Woman is quicker to veg than the Original L.A., and her yield is almost double! This cross grows like an indica with one main cola and little side branching, and will work well for sea-of-green. With her incredible smell and strength, it's hard to go wrong with this cross. People will be satisfied by the bag appeal and frostiness keeping all who try her begging for more. The LA Woman stays short, and if you feed her heavily, the buds pack on the weight early and finish in the best part of 9 weeks. Don't be afraid to thin the large fan leaves in the 5th week or so. This will allow the light to penetrate the canopy and reach the lower sites and will be replaced within a week. Look for your flavor, is it LA you're after, or Martian? Or maybe it's a little of both, you make the call with this one.

This is the combination of two known winners, LA Confidential and OG Kush.
She finishes in 8-9 weeks and has blankets of crystals! The Cataract Kush looks almost grey-black when cured. The flavour is LA dominant with the OG Kush coming through in the exhale. The nugs look OG with LA density. This is the perfect combination of these two strains and the high is VERY strong!
The effect is good for pain, eating and sleep disorders. Most describe Cataract as a "creeper" high that keeps on building long after you stop smoking!
This strain has been years in the making and is NOT recommended for the light weight smoker!
Above average yields and dense frosty nugs are easily achieved by the novice as well as seasoned growers. After you experience the Cataract Kush you'll think you have cataracts!

This incredible new Indica-dominant strain is one of the most fragrant, full-flavoured and potent we've ever offered. The intense aromas from large, dense colas – heavily flecked with red and gold trichomes – bring to mind wild vanilla and lavender, accented with lemon and orange peel. Once lit, the floral and herbal aromas become more concentrated and the smoke offers sweet, multi-dimensional flavours. The strong, long lasting high allows the mind to shift down a gear as muscle tension eases.

Sensi Star is one of the strongest Indica's you will ever encounter. It's a great plant, producing powerful and very compact buds, crowned with legendary amounts of resin. Although mostly Indica, she retains a complex high that warps both body and soul. Introduced in 1995, this strain's stability was improved in 1997 to deliver a strong plant with big fan leaves and nice thick buds. Sensi Star works well in a sea of green set-up with 20 plants per square meter potted close together. It is best to let them grow for approximately 2 weeks before entering the 12/12 light cycle. If the strong side branching is allowed to remain and flower, she needs a little extra space. Hydroponic and soil methods are equally suitable. Prospects for gardening this plant outdoors are good in temperate zones, where she will reach approximately 2 meters (6 feet) and produce an average of 400 grams in a successful season.
This headstrong Indica produces rock hard colas that have a lemony / metal scent and taste. This strong characteristic aroma speaks for itself. Some smokers find the buzz to be a very strong body stone, while others report a high with more energetic cerebral properties as well as a body sensation. THC levels have been reported at 20 percent for this variety, making it a one-hitter quitter. She is one of the world's finest cannabis strains. * Winner 1st prize Highlife Cannabis Cup 1999 (Bio category) * Winner 1st prize High Times Cannabis Cup 1999 (Indica category) * Winner 2nd prize High Times Cannabis Cup 2000 (Indica category) * Plant of the Year 2003, High Times magazine * Winner 1st prize Highlife Cannabis Cup 2004 (Bio category)

The Super Lemon Haze has won the 2008 High Times Cannabis Cup with a landslide of votes. Between the many reasons: its incredibly intense lemony flavour, with a strong haze background. It's a sharp and intense taste, which reminds of lemon, lime and pink grapefruit, followed by a very earthy and musky haze aftertaste, with traces of incense and black pepper.
The effect is very balanced; it starts with a quick indica-hit feeling that softly moves to a very strong high, with a social and creative side.
The Super Lemon Haze is a very smooth compromise between the great qualities of its parents. It has 9-10 weeks flowering time, and a very typical Christmas tree shape. Plants tend to grow quite tall, but the internodes are not too far apart, and allow easy topping. The leaves are very sativa-like, while bud formation comes dense and has a high calyx-to-leaf ratio.
The Super Lemon Haze is very effective both indoors and outdoors, and responds very well to high-EC hydro systems as well as organic soil setups. When cultivated in soil, the spectrum of terpens is more developed and gives an extra lemony flavour.
The THC is high at over 22%, ensuring a very psychedelic experience to even the most experienced smokers.
Genetics: Lemon Skunk x Super Silver Haze
Effects: A very lemony haze, works fast and lasts long. It's a very powerful high, very balanced between a physical and a cerebral side.
Flowering indoor: 9-10 weeks with a production up to 700gr/m2
Flowering outdoor: finishes end October in northern hemisphere, production up to 1000 gr/plant.

Our friends in Brazil have been raving at us about a special strain of sativa cannabis – indigenous to Brazil. After much cajoling and hunting, we got our hands on some seeds. Thus began a 3 year selection process. Infusing no other genetics, backcrossing selected plants with strong genetics in the same line to get the desired phenotypes stabilised.
We were looking for something original, with power, volume and unique taste and flavour. Finally just two phenotypes were chosen to work with. Hardy high yielding plants that are mould and disease resistant, and most importantly the power, taste and flavours are indeed unique. The high does indeed induce a sense of utopia with a long lasting cerebral and heavenly high.

Delahaze is a superb variety. It is extremely potent, giving high yields and finishes early in approximately 9 weeks. To appreciate her fully let her flower one week extra which results in fine sativaish/haze flowers filling up your growroom with a beautiful aroma containing hints of citrus & mango. Still the typical haze scent remains dominant.
The chances that these plants become fat are plenty since they grow multiple branches filled with clusters of resin coated flowers. Therefore we suggest to induce flowering early before they get too big.The high is a creeper and clear. After a while you also notice a pleasant and suiting bodily effect. In general a euphoric uplifting high, not psychedelic or trippy. Many growers & smokers have rated Delahaze to their top 3 haze list.

When it comes to strains that have laid down their mark on the cannabis plant genetics that are around today, there are few names that can be mentioned as often as Northern Lights. The exact makeup of the Northern Lights heritage is thought to have come out of west coast America, originally from eleven different seeds. Each of these varieties have been bred, inbred and hybridised so much over the years that the exact genetic remains a mystery. However, one thing that is certain is that Northern Lights has been the basis for many of the award-winning classics in the history of cannabis.
According to the legend, Northern Lights was an exclusive Indica plant from Afghanistan, although some of the original eleven plants were said to contain Thai genetics. Today we bring you our feminized Northern Lights which is still an indica dominant hybrid, but carries a lot of sativa in its leaf structure.
Our Northern Lights Feminized will grow as high as 1.2 m tall indoors, but it will stretch to over 2 m tall outside. It will produce relatively wider internode spacing, with long thin leafs, demonstrating its sativa background. Upon flowering is when its Afghan heritage comes to life, with dense, resin-covered nuggets which form all over the plant; however, it will produce a giant main cola.
It will yield on average 40-50 g per plant, or about 500 g per square metre under a 600w light. Grown outdoors, it can give as much as 100 g per plant, but will need the nice warm environment of southern Spain, California or North Africa. Placed in full sunlight and given enough food and water, Northern Lights will grow into a tree and give excellent results for yield.
Flowering is complete after 8 weeks, although some growers report harvesting after just 7 weeks. During the flowering process, all buds are formed with a light, resin-covered surface which starts to glow towards the end of the grow.
Northern Lights is simply one of those knockout smokes that guarantees a couchlock session for the next few minutes. The Afghan heritage really shines through in the smoke, and anyone looking for that strong stone need seek no further than Northern Lights Feminized.

Originally bred by an obscure figure in the Holland marijuana scene, Super Silver haze has risen to become the Tiger Woods of the pot world. First place winner of three consecutive High Times Cannabis Cups for the hydro category (1997, 1998, 1999), Super Silver Haze also claimed first prize in the High Times Grand Cup in 1998.
Super Silver Haze combines the stellar genetics of three plants – the Skunk, Northern Lights, and Haze varieties – todeliver and all-around good indoor grower. This variety can also be grown outside in the equatorial zone, approximately between 35 degrees latitude North and South.
While she is best grown hydroponically, Super Silver Haze has not let her stardom go to her head. She will produce highly resinous and strongly pungent flowers in most indoor growing setups. The colas get pointed on top when mature, and are more open than compact, which makes them harder to manicure but well worth the effort. Sea of green is only recommended for those growers who are masterful at controlling height, since the Haze influence gives this strain a tendency to shoot up.
This variety has a complex nose: a combination of the floral Haze with the sweetness of the Skunk and deep Afghani undertones from the Northern Lights . The flavor is pungent and spicy. Super Silver Haze has a buzz that covers the complete spectrum of effects, with a full-body stone and esoteric, philosophical attributes, making this highly rewarded pot a stash for all seasons.

Despite it's aggressive name, AK-47 has many peaceful tendencies. First bred in 1992, the name suggests the power packed in its dark, resinous, compact buds that bristle with red hairs and glistening trichomes. AK-47 has a spiced aroma bordering on skunk, with a hint of sandalwood, but tastes sweeter and more floral than the smell would lead one to expect.
AK has mostly sativa characteristics with one exception: a quick finishing time. The variety was reworked in 1999 to increase stability, so results from seeds are uniform. A tall plant with substantial girth and big fat calyxes, she performs excellently in indoor environments, both soil and hydro, and has been grown outdoors with good results. In low to medium temperatures, this variety produces a denser bud; in high temperatures buds are fluffier and more open, but total yields are roughly equivalent.
The AK-47 buzz is immediate and long lasting with an allert but mellow cerebral effect. Lab tests have rated the THC content at over 20 percent, making it a "one hit wonder" for many smokers. This variety can be a little spacey, but is great for playing and listening to music, or other social activities. AK-47 helped put Serious Seeds on the map with a 2nd place finish in the hydroponics competition and a 3rd place in the overall category at the 1995 Cannabis Cup in the Netherlands.

Skunkorama! Especially developed for Skunk lovers, this variety reeks with dank skunk odor. Sensi has crossed one of their best skunk lines back to Afghani ancestors, the Afghani T, to create Super Skunk : a variety with body and beautiful flower formation that is quick and easy to grow.
Successful indoors or for greenhouse gardening in most temperate zones, Super Skunk also fares well in the outdoors, given a mild, arid climate. It is suitable for most standard indoor gardening methods, including the sea of green style. Cannabis Castle growers recommend employing hydroponics for an efficient garden with quick results. The good yield potential and agreeable nature of this strain make it a good selection for beginners and commercial growers alike.
Super Skunk is short to medium inheight with wide indica-style leaves and compact flowers. Merely brushing against this plant releases a powerful skunk aroma that fills the grow room, which may require some tact or at least some privacy if guerilla growing. The flavor is dense and sweet, and the buzz flows through the mind and body, although it can lead to lethargy if smoked in quantity.

White Russian combines AK-47 with the White Widow to produce a snowy plant with a pleasantly sweet aroma and a strong, clear high. It was not until much later that Serious Seeds breeder, Simon, became aware of the alcoholic cocktail by the same name.
This easy-to-grow plant works equally well in soil or hydro. Intermediate in size, White Russian is not very leafy, giving it an open canopy that makes it perfect for indoor gardening. This plant is appropriate for a sea of green method. The yield is excellent, with a normal harvest producing 35-450 grams per squae meter.
The mottled green colas resemble their indica heritage in size and density, and are typically coated with light tan crystals. At maturity, the hairs turn to auburn. White Russian buds smell sweet and green, with a light undertone of skunk. The sweetness is enhanced in the flavor, although heavier like hash oil rather thann lighter like flowers.
An expansive smoke, White Russian has a clear high with long duration. The effect can be complex, but tends toward wakefulness rather than sleep, and may have some trippy or spacey dimensions.

First called High-Rise, Master Kush was developed in one of the tall buildings of south Amsterdam. The coffeeshops instantly fell in love with this bud.
A vigorous plant, Master Kush thrives under most growing conditions, producing well in indoor and greenhouse set-ups. This variety grows into a medium-sized, compact, densely formed plant with sparse, spiky, forest green leaves. Master Kush 's ball-shaped buds are light green with long hairs that range from white to orange in color. Buds are dense, thick, and heavy, which makes mold a risk in humid lcimates. Advantageously non-smelly while growing, the resulting bud has a hint of earthiness and sweet citrus but is virtually without taste.
Easy on lungs and palate, Master Kushis non-expansive and smooth to smoke, giving an all-over body buzz that is relaxing but awake. The high can also create optically pleasing effects, making it a good candidate for taking in a movie or museum visit.

Since its introduction in 1995, White Widow has become an infamous breed in the world of weed. This variety can be found in almost every coffee shop in Amsterdam, but while imitation may be the truest form of flattery, the genuine item bears the Greenhouse name.
This variety's reputation has been built on its excellence in smell, flavor, and quality of high. White Widow has fragrantly fresh pine cone nugs that have a taste
bordering between fruit and flowers when smoked. Setting the standard for kind bud, White Widow washes over you with a warm feeling of mildly trippy sensations.
White Widow is a compact plant of medium height. The buds only develop a few amber-colored hairs, but the outrageous crystalline resin production of this plant has become legendary. Inevitably the reputation that precedes it leads some growers to decide that it is overrated, but many find this variety to be everything they anticipated and more. White Widow has the potential to live up to its reputation if grown adeptly. This strain is recommended for indoor gardening, where water and fertilizer should be administered modestly to avoid mildew and retain the delicious flavors. Greenhouse suggests changing the lighting to 8 hours during the last 2 weeks of flowering in order to halt regrowth of on the buds and produce just enough stress to coax out the maximum amount of sticky resin per inch.

Big Bud is a classic favorite, and with good reason. This plant has traits that so many marijuana growers and enthusiasts are after: prodigious growth and a desirable high. Already a part of the Seed Bank breeding program in the 1980s, Big Bud was first sold as a hybrid with Skunk #1 from the Sacred Seed Company. This is the version that claimed 1989 win in the mostly indica category at the Cannabis Cup. In the 1990s, Sensi Seeds and Seed Bank merged and new attention was given to this hybrid. Another sweet, high-yielding, heavy indica line was crossed into the original hybrid, making this pant-type sweeter and more delicious to connoisseurs. With the new burst of flavor, the strain became interesting for more than just its heavy yields, which resulted in a fully unexpected prize for Big Bud in the 1996 Cannabis Club.
As the name suggests, this variety is a producer: it is a good idea to tie up bottom branches because they make break because of the weight. A large internode ratio means that this variety requires minimal pruning to get maximum light to the flowers and makes an easy job of manicuring at harvest. Big Bud is fairly short with a traditional indica leaf structure, but unlike the stereotypical indica, can become tall and lanky if not properly tended. As with a typical indica/sativa hybrid, Big Bud may triple in size from the time the light cycle is changed. Big Bud also finishes in as few as 50 days with an impressive yield. The high is mellow with a sweet and spicy flavor, a long duration and a more indica body stone.
This variety is suitable for a sea of green method or for a garden of bigger plants. While relatively flexible, Big Bud has shown some sensitivity to the typical marijuana insects and pests. Best results occur in the indoor environment, where variables re more easily controlled. Hydro gives the best yields, but Big Bud can also thrive in soil, especially in the right outdoor conditions (not the case with the Netherlands weather). She can be expected to give the grower some beautiful flowers as long as they keep a tidy garden.

The results of our Thai Fantasy outdoors are simply fantastic. We know for the mails we receive and for the quantity of orders that we have, that this is one of our most appreciated strains by the more sybarites growers. The combination of the Cambodian genetics of Thai fantasy, with the genetics of a Ruderalis (selected under the parameters of rapid growth and maturation) gave us a very pleasant surprise, because it has shown to be a very productive plant, giving voluminous and compact flowers.
From the Asian heritage is the production of green sheets along with the flowers; giving it a leafy aspect in flowering. These sheets fill with trichromes increasing the parts that you can use with this variety. We have also verified, that it needs a few more days of ripening compared to our other autoflowering varieties, up to 75 days.
Thai Fantasy Automatic is one of our best outdoor varieties.

This crossing is emphasized for the similarity with the AK-47 (that it has between his parents). From the beginning of the growth it shows the strength of this plant and with a few sheets finished in sharp top, as a dirk with saw. A very nice automatic strain from the first days of growth, with a structure in form in the shape of "fir" with a good central bud. To the piquant flavor typical of Smile it adds a fermented strawberry taste, giving it a tone "of humid soil with the flavour to strawberry", the flavour fills the palate and you can almost chew it.
It adapts to extreme climates, is recommended for outdoor use, and is ideally farmed from May (in the driest zones of the continent) to September (watching the first rains of the ends of this month). You should try to give to the autoflowering varieties all the facility of fertilization and hours of light during his growth and flowering.
Smile Automatic in hydroponic reaches the average height of 1 meter and a production of about 65 grams for plant (same results outdoor and in greenhouses).

The challenge with this strain was very concrete; to extract the legendary aroma and the flavour of the Skunk. We were looking for the ruderalis that could provide a spectacular development in growth and a fast formation of low branches. The results of the new breed are autoflowering with the best characteristics of our Power Skunk. A variety that grows as type of "shrub" with a big quantity of low branches that end in nice buds. A plant of fat sheet and the dark green which is very typical one of skunk crossed with Afghans. Meanwhile, ruderalis contributes the characteristics earlier mentioned. The plants grow as shrub with fast development of inflorescences.
The flavour of skunk is intact and tinted with a light fermented flavour, brought by its relative Afghan (as the Power Skunk). It is characterised by its width more than it's height. Displays good production of good quality.

The White is one of the flagships of our seed bank. It has genetics that have been improved over time and that is supported for great years. Some phenotypes of this strain show abundant signs of its "White" heritage. As the aroma, a high level of psychoactivity and big quantity of crystals covering the buds. We were looking for ruderalis that could bring height and production to the crossing to maintain the "white" characteristics. Some growers have compared to the 'original' White, and have named the area of farming for autoflowering "Afghan farming in miniature".
This confirms the success in the selection and crossing of this variety. In greenhouses they show their best adaptation to a well fertilised soil, obtaining a good height and compact higher buds. You can get similar results with hydroponics.
It stands out for his vigour in growth, showing thick stems and big leafy sheets. It keeps part of the flavour / aroma of its relative "white".

One of the characteristics most appreciated by the growers of this variety from which it descends (from Kannabia Special), is that it shows a bushy phenotype of Skunk. We were looking for a ruderalis characterised by the production and creation of inferior branches. As a result of the crossing we obtained a variety of autoflowering that develops as "shrub" facilitating the production of long low branches with a few buds on the tops. To get the best development of the plant we must get overturned with the plant during the first weeks of growth, with right food, container and light.
Outdoor is it possible that it may not grow more than one meter, but it will be compensated by lots of side growth. It keeps the smell of fresh fruits with a small Skunk aftertaste.

FOR decades, NASA's most glamorous job has been launching astronauts into space. But the space agency could soon be looking for a private partner to operate its fleet of shuttles more cheaply.
Astronauts would still work for the space agency. But if the recommendations of a NASA committee are taken up, the people at the consoles at Mission Control and the technicians who fuel and repair the shuttle would work for a private company.
Unlike NASA, a private company would be highly motivated to cut unnecessary costs - meaning the loss of thousands of jobs on the shuttle programme. Dan Goldin, head of NASA, has not yet said that he will accept the committee's proposal. But Newt Gingrich, the powerful right-wing Speaker of the House of Representatives, is already trying to force the issue.

In its early days, IT asset management revolved around one thing: counting. How many PCs do you have? How many copies of a certain application do you own? How many PCs are associated with those licenses? While the data obtained from enterprise-wide inventories informed important projects, such as technology upgrades and migrations, hardware lease contracts and software license redeployments, the fact remained that young IT asset management processes were relatively primitive and rarely drove critical business decisions.
Today, the stakes are higher. Thanks to increasing pressure to prove value to the enterprise, IT organizations have evolved their asset management strategies beyond simple bean-counting exercises. Mature IT asset management (ITAM) programs now proactively drive high-level initiatives such as service support and delivery, and are integral to maintaining a healthy bottom line. Software asset management, especially, has moved to the forefront as a means of complying with regulatory concerns such as Sarbanes-Oxley, and meeting the stringent audit requirements of software vendors and third parties such as the Business Software Alliance (BSA).
However, software license compliance is a tall order and recent data indicate that current approaches aren't sophisticated enough to meet the challenge. According to a recent Forrester report, conversations with clients who have implemented ITAM projects indicate that around one-third of these projects were unsuccessful; either they were one-off Y2K exercises that involved manual ITAM data collection that nobody wanted to maintain, or the necessary process and organization changes around the ITAM project were unsuccessful. 1
There is a fundamental disconnect between what software is provisioned by the organization, and what actually ends up on users' PCs. Why this disconnect? Because despite enormous advances in software access management applications and processes, software provisioning remains tied to an inefficient paradigm of associating licenses with machines. Stuck in such a cycle, current practices can't account for the movement of employees around an organization, or provide any true insight into license usage versus license requirements, which places IT staff on constant fire watch. When it comes to ensuring license compliance, then software asset management remains as unevolved as before.
People, not PCs
IT departments are used to thinking in terms of nodes. Major technology purchases and contract negotiations, are most often based on the number of PCs residing within the company. On an abstract level, nodes translate to employees, but such a thought process is a major contributing factor to the failure of license-compliance initiatives.
Why? Because within this context, asking "How many PCs do I manage?" focuses disproportionate attention on machines, not the users behind them and forces IT staff back into perpetual inventory mode. If you could ask a slightly different question, though–"How many people work here?"–you can begin to shift the paradigm. Thinking in terms of human–not technology–resources enables you to also think in terms of entitlements, not license installations. Instead of inefficiently tracking PCs and their associated software, you can imagine tracking employees and their needs–a concept that forms the basis of a revolutionary new approach to IT asset management.
Identity-based IT Asset Management: Framing the Approach
The concept of identity-based entitlements is nothing new. Enterprise security solutions such as Novell Identity Manager have embraced it as an industry standard in authentication for several years. (See Figure 1.) While an effective identity management program comprises a variety of interrelated components, which vary according to organizational needs and maturity, the common theme that glues the components together is role-based access control–that is, the process of assigning resource entitlements to individuals based upon their function(s) in the organization.
Borrowing from this approach, an identity-based asset management program would shift attention away from hardware and toward individuals. Where licenses were once tied to machines, they would now be tied to users; software entitlements would be based on predetermined roles, and access to these entitlements–as well as their provisioning–would be centrally controlled. (See Figure 2.) Such an approach allows for much greater visibility of licensing across the organization, and more streamlined tracking and administration of compliance activities.
Essential components
Successfully implementing an identity-based asset management program depends upon three key elements:
1 A clear process, articulated across the organization, for defining specific user roles and the software required to successfully perform those roles
Within the asset management realm, the main objective of role definition is simple: To provide the vehicle for associating software entitlements to people instead of machines. How you define and implement these roles doesn't matter; why you do it, on the other hand, does–for this is the crux of the paradigm shift. Remember that current approaches perpetuate the need to inventory machines and licenses, then reconcile the two; but a properly deployed role-based asset management system guarantees that what you own will always jive with what your users are entitled to.
What's more, under this model, software licenses become portable and hardware doesn't matter–at least in terms of compliance. Freed of concerns about what's installed where, you can finally move beyond counting machines and licenses, focusing instead on more strategic initiatives.
2 A unified means of tracking users and their associated software entitlements
Once you've defined organizational roles and their related software requirements, you need to keep a close handle on the information. A centralized repository enables a holistic view of entitlements across the enterprise, and serves as your definitive record of authorized licenses and their associated users. What this repository looks like depends entirely on your organization; regardless, it bears repeating that the repository must support the association of users–not machines–to entitlements, else the paradigm will fail.
3 A way to prevent unauthorized "self-provisioning" of resources
Finally, you need to ensure that, once provisioned, users can't access or install unauthorized software via unapproved purchase and download, or bringing in software from home, for example. Desktop lockdown–while admittedly unpopular with users–may be a simple first step. Centralized license management and control–closely tied to an official entitlement request and approval process–might be a more distant goal. Ultimately, access control should work in tandem with your entitlement repository to ensure that all roles and their associated licenses are consistently reconciled.
The Benefits
A well-planned, well-implemented identity-based asset management program leverages software license management activities into significant financial and productivity gains:
- Gives greater leverage in contract negotiations to prevent overpurchasing: license requirements are predefined, not based on trends.
- Frees IT staff for more strategic initiatives: licenses travel with people; no more wiping machines when employees change jobs or machines. Tighter control also eliminates unauthorized installations and the associated problems. For self-audits, simply compare inventory data with licenses in the central repository.
- Decreases the risk of noncompliance fines: you keep machines under tight control, reducing the likelihood of illegal software installations.
- Centralized control and tracking prevents unauthorized access and self-provisioning.
- Entitlements follow people so additional license requests are limited to new hires or role changes.
Gartner forecasts, by 2008, 30 percent of large organizations will experience at least one onsite software audit per year. 2 With such a threat, IT and executive staff alike seek a bulletproof means of ensuring license compliance. Legacy approaches to software asset management have thus far prevented organizations from achieving this goal; unless asset management vendors and practitioners alike can make a paradigm shift, license compliance will remain a thorn in organizations' sides.
Because of its ability to tie roles to entitlements, track those associations and prevent unauthorized provisioning, an identity-based asset management process is far superior to existing license compliance initiatives. As interest in this concept grows, look to Novell– a leader in enterprise-wide resource and identity management–to champion and develop the innovations to support it.
