The composition of fine particulate matter (PM) in two
major Greek cities (Athens and Patras) was measured during two wintertime
campaigns, one conducted in 2013 and the other in 2012. A major goal of this
study is to quantify the sources of organic aerosol (OA) and especially
residential wood burning, which has dramatically increased due to the Greek
financial crisis. A high-resolution time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer
(HR-ToF-AMS) was deployed at both sites. PM with diameter less than 1
Fine particulate matter is associated with premature mortality and
cardiovascular disease (Nel, 2005), and it also impacts
climate, visibility, and ecosystems
(Grantz et al., 2003; Hallquist et al., 2009; Watson, 2002). An important fraction
of submicrometer PM is organic, representing 20–90 % of PM
Aerosol mass spectrometry can quantify the mass spectra of OA and helps identify its sources (Jayne et al., 2000). Source apportionment techniques, such as positive matrix factorization (PMF), are widely used in order to estimate the contributions of the various OA sources (Lanz et al., 2007; Mohr et al., 2009; Paatero and Tapper, 1994). Sources that are often identified include oxygenated OA (OOA), hydrocarbon-like OA (HOA), biomass burning OA (BBOA), and cooking OA (COA; Aiken et al., 2009; He et al., 2010; Herndon et al., 2008; Huang et al., 2011; Mohr et al., 2009; Saarikoski et al., 2012; Zhang et al., 2007).
During wintertime, wood burning for domestic heating purposes is one of the main sources of OA in several countries (Alfarra et al., 2007; Puxbaum et al., 2007). Biomass burning is a major source of gas- and particle-phase air pollution on urban (Robinson et al., 2006; Schauer and Cass, 2000), regional (Watson, 2002; Wotawa and Trainer, 2000), and global (Bond et al., 2004; Lelieveld et al., 2001) scales. Violations of daily PM standards due to wood burning have been reported in major European cities such as London, Paris, and Berlin (Fuller et al., 2013, 2014). In several countries while traffic and industrial emissions are decreasing, the impact of residential wood burning emissions on air quality is increasing (Favez et al., 2010).
In Greece, the use of woodstoves and fireplaces has increased dramatically
during the last few years. Pikridas et al. (2013)
reported that biomass burning for heating purposes was the dominant source
of OA during wintertime in Patras, the third-biggest city of Greece.
Elevated mass concentrations of PM
In this study, a high-resolution time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer
(HR-ToF-AMS) was deployed in order to investigate the
chemical composition of PM
Patras is the third-biggest city of Greece, with
300 000 inhabitants, and is situated at the foothills of Mount Panachaikon,
overlooking the Gulf of Patras, 220 km west of Athens. The instruments were
housed inside the campus of the Technological Educational Institute (TEI) of
Patras (38
Athens is the capital and largest city of Greece,
with approximately 5 million inhabitants within the greater Athens
metropolitan area, which represents almost half of the country's population
(Fig. S1). An extensive campaign was conducted in the center of Athens from
10 January until 9 February 2013, the year following the Patras campaign.
The measurements took place on the premises of the National Observatory of
Athens (NOA) at Thiseio (37
The same instruments and sampling approach were used during both campaigns. More specifically:
All HR-ToF-AMS data were analyzed using the standard AMS software toolkit (SQUIRREL v1.53), while the high-resolution data were processed using the Peak Integration by Key Analysis (PIKA v1.10C; Sueper, 2011) software, within Igor Pro 6.34A (Wave Metrics). For the determination of the elemental ratios measured by the HR-AMS both the method of Aiken et al. (2008) and the improved ambient calculation approach proposed by Canagaratna et al. (2015) were used. In order to calculate the collection efficiency (CE) of the HR-ToF-AMS, we combined the HR-ToF-AMS mass distributions and the SMPS volume distributions (for particle diameters between 10 and 500 nm), applying the algorithm of Kostenidou et al. (2007) every 2 h. The algorithm was modified to take into account the BC measured by the MAAP, assuming that the BC had the same size distribution as the OA.

In Athens, the OA average diurnal profile was dominated by an evening peak at around 23:00 LST, almost 3 h later than in the Patras campaign. BC exhibited two major peaks, one in the morning at 08:00 LST, which was attributed to the morning rush hour and another one in the evening at 23:00 LST, coinciding with the OA peak (Fig. 3). This suggests that OA and BC probably originated from the same source during the night. Nitrate also displayed two peaks, one in the morning (09:00 LST) during the peak traffic hours, and another one in the late evening (23:00 LST). Chloride and ammonium exhibited an evening peak at 23:00 LST, while sulfate had once more a rather flat average diurnal profile.

For Patras, PMF solutions with one to seven factors were investigated. In the
three-factor solution a BBOA, a HOA, and an OOA factor were obtained, with
BBOA being the dominant component of OA. Moving to a four-factor solution, a
second factor related to biomass burning was obtained quite different from
the other, with a noticeable difference in both fractions of

The selected five-factor PMF solution for Patras
included two BBOA-like factors, named BBOA-I and BBOA-II. Both of these
factors had significant contributions at the

BBOA-II was the second biomass-burning-related factor, contributing 19 %
to the PM
The BBOA-I and BBOA-II spectra for Patras are shown in Fig. 8. The BBOA-I
spectrum had strong signals at
Another explanation is that the two BBOA factors in Patras could correspond
to different fuel types, with one of them including trash burning. To test
this hypothesis, the spectra of the BBOA factors were compared to those of
OA resulting from paper and plastic burning (Mohr et al., 2009). The trash
burning AMS spectra were completely different from the BBOA spectra in this
study, with angles exceeding 45
Recent work has shown that the emissions of nitrogen-containing organic
compounds (such as acetonitrile) strongly depend on the composition of the
fuel (Coggon et al. 2016). Fuels containing low amounts of nitrogen (e.g.,
wood) emit lower amounts of N-organics than fuels containing large amounts
of nitrogen (e.g., grasses, the boughs of trees). The same behavior has been
observed for inorganic nitrogen gasses, such as ammonia (NH
The BBOA factor in ambient studies is believed to represent an average of the emissions of all fuel types. However, the corresponding emissions should have either a different temporal or a spatial profile in order to be separated by PMF. Given that residential biomass burning, in a city like Patras, is due to tens of thousands of individual sources (fireplaces, wood stoves, etc.) spread all over the city following a similar burning schedule on average, it is difficult to explain how PMF would be able to separate the BBOA from different fuel types. However, there are other potential explanations (e.g., different areas of the city using different fuel types and the emissions arriving at the site at different times) that could involve the use of different fuel types. Therefore, even if the support of this hypothesis is rather weak, it cannot be eliminated as a potential explanation.
Coefficient of determination
The BBOA factor contributed
almost half (43 %) of the OA in Athens. BBOA reached hourly levels up to

study. The BBOA-I spectrum in Patras was similar to that of residential wood

The OOA factor dominated daytime OA, and its mass
concentration increased during the last days of the campaign. The mean OOA
was 3.2
In contrast to other measurement datasets in Athens,
in which two OOA types were obtained by PMF (a very oxidized OA, V-OOA, and
a moderately oxygenated, M-OOA; Kostenidou
et al., 2015), only one type was clearly present in Athens during the
winter. The OOA factor dominated OA during the daytime and its mass
concentration increased after 28 January, when air masses originated from
the Balkans and not from the Mediterranean Sea (Sects. S3 and S4). The
average OOA concentration was 1.3
In Patras, the wintertime OOA O : C ratio was 0.65 (Fig. 10). For comparison reasons, the O : C ratio for V-OOA, M-OOA, and biogenic OOA (b-OOA) during the summer campaign of 2012 in Patras was 0.81, 0.54, and 0.48, respectively (Kostenidou et al., 2015). In Athens, the O : C ratio for OOA during the winter of 2013 was equal to 0.47 (Fig. 10). The corresponding values of O : C during summertime in Athens for V-OOA and M-OOA were 0.68 and 0.56, respectively (Kostenidou et al., 2015).
Both OOA spectra were characterized
by a strong peak at
The spectrum of OOA in Patras was quite similar to the first two factors named OOA-a and OOA-b by the authors
The spectrum of OOA in Athens was similar to the M-OOA identified both in
Athens (
The HOA mean value was 0.95
HOA contributed on average approximately 10 % to
the total OA, while the corresponding HOA contribution during summer was
7 % (Kostenidou
et al., 2015). Its mean concentration was 2.1
In Athens, the O : C for HOA was equal to 0.13, while its H : C ratio was 1.74. In Patras, the O : C ratio was 0.1, while the H : C ratio was equal to 1.83. The corresponding values of O : C during summertime of 2012 were 0.07 (Athens) and 0.1 (Patras; Kostenidou et al., 2015).
The two HOA spectra were also quite
similar to each other (
When comparing the identified HOA spectra with literature values, the spectrum of
HOA in Athens was similar (

mean value of 2.1
In Athens, COA exhibited strong night peaks at around
23:00 LST, with values up to 15
In Patras, the COA O : C ratio was 0.14, while the H : C ratio was equal to 1.71. In Athens, the O : C was 0.11, while the H : C was equal to 1.68. The corresponding values of COA O : C during summertime of 2012 were 0.21 (Athens) and 0.24 (Patras; Kostenidou et al., 2015).

An aerosol mass spectrometer (HR-ToF-AMS) accompanied by a suite of aerosol-
and gas-related instruments was used for the characterization of the OA in
two of the biggest cities of Greece (Athens and Patras), during two
consecutive winter periods (2012 and 2013). The carbonaceous PM (BC
During both wintertime campaigns, domestic wood burning was in general a
more significant OA source than traffic. The PM
Biomass-burning-related factors were the dominant source (40–60 %) of OA in both cities, and their mass concentration levels increased sharply during the evening hours (18:00–24:00 LST). The BBOA-I in Patras reached its maximum value at 20:00 LST, 3 h earlier than the BBOA factor in Athens. A second biomass-burning-related factor (BBOA-II) was also identified in Patras. The BBOA-II (19 % of OA) had a quite different mass spectrum than the dominant BBOA-I factor. The two BBOA factors (BBOA-I and BBOA-II) exhibited different diurnal profiles but comparable O : C ratios (0.30 and 0.26). In Athens, only one BBOA factor was identified by the PMF analysis.
At both sites the HOA factor had two peaks: one during morning (08:00–09:00 LST)
and one during evening (20:00–23:00 LST) hours. Its diurnal pattern in
Athens followed closely that of BC, exhibiting strong peaks consistent with
increased traffic during morning and evening rush hours. The two HOA spectra
were quite similar to each other (
The diurnal profile of COA in Athens exhibited strong peaks only during the
night at around 23:00 LST, while COA in Patras exhibited two major peaks
during the day (13:00 and 22:00 LST). The two COA mass spectra were very
similar to each other, with a theta angle of 8
The OOA factor dominated daytime OA at both sites and correlated reasonably
well with inorganic compounds. In comparison to summertime campaigns in the
same cities during 2012, only one type of OOA was present during wintertime.
The spectra of OOA in the two cities were quite similar (
Both measurement campaigns were conducted during relatively warm wintertime
periods. The average ambient temperature for both campaigns was close to

My goodness, what a fun and hectic Chinese New Year we had this year! Our progress was slow. Normally we'd be at my parent's place early morn, then we'd head off to go visiting, and we'd by done with my mum's side by 1 or 2 pm. This time around, both sets of new parents only got to the first pit-stop at 10am! Then some crying, some diaper changes, some feeds, then feed the adults, and cry, then change a diaper, then finally we're off! We only ended our visit to the last house on my mum's side around 530/6pm! And we still had dinner at Dad's place, followed by a gathering at our house with my friends!
Many many lo heis this year.
Numero Uno – Eve of CNY Eve: Reunion dinner at China Club with immediate family on both sides. ere we also celebrated Jon's birthday in advance.
Numero Due – CNY Eve: Reunion dinner at Segar with immediate family.
Asher looking like he's starting to get this whole lo hei thing.
Check out the Pun Choi that my mum and aunts made! Yum-mee!
New mums!
Couldn't help including this pic cos if you compare it with an earlier photo I took of him in the same outfit when he was just a week old, you can see how he's grown and filled out his romper!
Numero Tre – CNY Day 2: Reunion dinner at Segar with extended family.
Didn't remember to take any pics of this event, but my tummy is proof of it's existence.
This is what he wore on Day 2 of CNY. (This pic's specially for you Sheela!)
That's not the end of it though, there are at least 3 more lo hei sessions in store in the coming weeks!
We were quite excited to bring Asher on his first CNY visiting trip. Of course, to begin it all, we just had to dress him in red heh heh heh. I think he looks cute! But of course I'm biased. Anyway, Jon insisted we tuck in his shirt, which I think makes him look so toot haha, so I then insisted we at least fluff out his shirt a bit so he looks better :) Asher will thank me in future haha.
I match Mummy…
…And I match my car seat!
Anyway, here're some pics from our first day of visiting:
The cousins decked out in red taking a nap before the big day
Asher had little clementines to pai nian instead of the usual kum which are wayyy to big for him
As we travelled from house to house, Asher was busy studying his new red socks :) He kept kicking up one foot, then the next, to look at them.
When he took a break from admiring his socks, he'd strike up a coo-ing conversation with me! It was really heartwarming :O)
This is what the pic looks like…
This is what we had to do to get Asher to look at the camera!!!
By the end of the day (which was around 3am) Jon and I were so zonked out! Asher was already in bed by then, but he was so tired out from all the visiting and attending various events over the long weekend that he was totally zapped at the end of it! He just slept and slept for most of Wednesday to recuperate :)

Thursday night we attended the 11th annual Minnesota Orchestra Concert down by Lake Winona, which officially opens the 2017 Beethoven Festival. It was a delightful concert, and got me thinking about some differences between Outdoor and Indoor Concerts:
- There may be a little rain an hour prior to concert, but hey, it blows over. (This has happened for the past two years.) The breeze makes the musicians find a way to secure their music to the stand.
- You bring your own chairs (or blanket), a picnic supper, and have a glass of beer/wine if you are discreet.
- The orchestra is seated on a platform, and you are on the ground below, so for the most part you can only see the string players. (It would be a good idea for the horns to stand when they have a prominent part, but I haven't told them this yet.)
- A little girl in a green dress runs around (and around…) her parents' chairs during the Tchaikowsky Polonaise (and beyond). Kids are swinging as high as they can on the adjacent playground, while the orchestra plays three of Dvorak's Slavonic Dances.
- You can kick of your shoes and let your feet feel the grass.
- You get to watch a really cool sunset while listening to the music.
- You can hum along with John Williams' Raiders of the Lost Ark theme and no one minds.
- If you see someone you know, you can wave wildly, and easily find them after the concert ends.
- Weather is not an issue once you are in the venue. Musicians' music usually stays put on its stand.
- You have prepaid seating; refreshments can be purchased at Intermission, and must be consumed before returning to the auditorium.
- The venue is designed so that much of the audience is looking down on the performers, and can see most of the players.
- Children are regularly hushed and shushed throughout the concert, and will run around only at Intermission.
- It's probably best to leave your shoes on your feet… they're hard to find in the dark if you need them.
- The lights will go down when the music starts playing, and you will sit in the dark.
- If you talk or sing during the concert, you will most likely get stern looks from those around you.
- If you see someone you know, give a polite wave and hope they see you; perhaps you will find each other in the milling crowd at Intermission
When and where was the last outdoor performance you remember attending?

Online Medical Record Access Guide
This is a way you can view your GP medical record over the internet from a computer – free of charge.
Your practice is now offering you the opportunity to use the internet to securely view your electronic medical information (electronic medical record) in a way that is easy to use. This will give you useful links to approved information such as patient information leaflets about diseases, tests, investigations, support groups and medications etc. There are also links to websites such as Patient.co.uk where you can find additional information to help you understand and educate yourself about what you read in your health record.
If you are waiting for results you will see them as soon as they are added to your record and you will not have to ring the surgery.
You can choose to share your records with those treating you anywhere in the NHS, and anywhere in the world. You may also wish to share your records with family members.
You can look up your list of immunisations.
Accessing your record on computer will help you to understand and make use of the information in your records.
Access can lead to discussions with your health professionals and helps encourage a more open and honest relationship.
The system allows you to view the following areas of your medical record:
*Please note, some practices choose to hide free text from within the consultation and letters to and from the GP. This reduces the small chance of you viewing something within the record that may concern or upset you. For further information please contact you practice. Under The Data Protection Act 1998 your practice may refuse access to all or part of your health records.
There may be something in your record that you do not want to be reminded about.
Some terms may be difficult to understand as the notes are made by doctors and nurses for each other. There will be links to explanations to help you.
Test results that are abnormal and are added to your record say, on a Friday, may worry you over the weekend if you cannot see the doctor or nurse to discuss them.
Most practices allow parents to access their child's records up until they are 12 years old. Should you wish to access your child's records beyond their twelfth birthday you need to discuss this with your practice.
No. This is a 'read only' facility. You can however, print off details to take to e.g. a hospital appointment. If you think that there is something that needs to be changed, you will need to contact the surgery.
Record access has the same level security as online banking. A hacker would only be able to see one page at a time. Nothing changes with the way your medical information is stored. Your information will remain under the control of your GP as it does now. And like online banking you control viewing by using your PIN and pass words. You will be responsible for keeping your log in details safe.
Logging off or a power failure will clear all the information on your computer system.
No, The Data Protection Act (1988) states that your personal data can only be used with your explicit permission.
If you do not want to register to use this system you can still use all the practices' services exactly as before. Your decision not to register will not affect your treatment or your relationship with your GP practice in any way.
To be able to use the system you must have access to a PC or smart phone with internet access. You must then register, by taking in photo ID to your practice and signing an enrolment form to say you have read and understood this Record Access Guide before you start using the system.

1. Gee that spelling looks foreign this morning.
2. Ahem. I wake up, right in the middle of a good dream because something keeps knocking at my brain. Before I go insane, I hold my pillow to my head and screaming out the words I said "I think I love you!" to my bed….
3. Need. More. Coffee…..!!!!!!
4. In other news, I posted a request on Facebook – a heart-felt plea really – for dance club suggestions and a somewhat local friend (a long drive away but still…) suggested Club Broadway, saying it had opened back up again.
It was built in the 1800s and used by the Masons as their club house for many years before becoming a nightclub circa 1980. It has 3 floors and a separate dance area and bar on each as well as some live theater and restaurant space. It also had some huge and gorgeous chandeliers…
… a gallery overlooking the top floor dance area, some fabulous light works, and lots of art deco decor.
There was Pop Rock on the top floor, Country on the middle floor, Rap Crap in the basement, and comedians in the theater. Various rooms were rented out for banquets and receptions that were catered by the club.
In the 2000s, gambling machines and an electronic bull came to occupy the basement area, but the other floors remained the same.
I love Club Broadway – once called The Vibe for awhile. Okay, it's not even on Broadway. It's on Everett Avenue. But back in the 80s and 90s it was a really happening place and that was what it was called then and how I tend to think of it.
Since then, however, the place has mostly been dead. Not entirely dead, just MOSTLY dead. It would go through its spurts of activity, new owners, whatever, trying things out with it. But none have managed it well so it didn't stay open as a club for very long, not after 1999 anyway. Back then, we used to really shake our tushies there.
That was before gambling became legal off the Indian reservations in the state of Washington and every night club changed its focus from dancing to gambling. Broadway had plenty of room for both, but both somehow stopped happening. Only the gambling kept on. Most people stopped coming to the dance halls. I don't know why. We still did, but it's rather too echoey when you find yourself alone there while everyone else is downstairs gambling.
Gee, I must be old to be reminiscing about the good old days like this.
Anyway, Jeb and I drove past there on Saturday night to see if what my friend had said was true and it wasn't. The place had closed again and had a For Sale sign on it. So the next day, I Google it and found it priced at $2,500,000, which sounds like a LOT of money. But I can't stop thinking about it.
I know from reviews and my own experiences with the place what may have gone wrong… that it was, in fact, a perfect storm of things going wrong. Where to start? No. I can summarize: mostly it was poor management, probably owing to its wide diversity overwhelming the manager(s). Also, it's website was rarely updated or user friendly. Oh. And it seemed to have attracted a rough crowd. This last was not clarified. I can only assume drunkards or druggies getting rowdy.
There were several other nice, albeit smaller, clubs in this area that tried to circumvent that last problem by not serving alcohol and refusing admittance to anyone that looked stoned or had gained a reputation for it. They failed because people snuck their forbidden goodies in anyhow, leading to the places being shut down by law enforcement.
5. We'd need to win the lottery in order to afford the Broadway but if we did…
- I think we might name it the New P3 or Ampbreia's Place or… I don't know, just something different to get it past its current bad rep.
- I'd like to get one of those lighted dance floors with the changing colors for the top floor dance floor at least like this…
- or even this… but bigger of course.
- I want to get a foam and/or smoke generator up there as well. I recall one of the clubs that went under in 90s had a foam generator. It was the coolest thing! This foam would bubble out of it all over the dance floor until you were dancing in it to your arm pits, but it wasn't wet. I don't know what it was. There for a while your playing in this wonderful sudsy foam and then it just dissipates into thin air. Really great stuff!
- The kids area would seriously love one of those too!
- I don't know how to go about hiring bands and I don't trust the local DJs not to "mix it up" like they are wont to do these days. I want music; not cacophony. So maybe use Pandora for the upstairs club and figure out something else for the middle floor… Not country, maybe ball room. There are lots of schools around here that teach it, after all, but few places that actually host it. So, you know, a mix of big band music, salsa, and ballads. There should be dance lessons and mixers offered there in the early evening too.
- The bottom floor should be devoted to kids, not gambling, not even kid gambling like you find in places like Chuck E Cheese. No. Slides, climbing walls, rappels into foam or ball pits, or play sets like these…
- …along with several monitors just to keep an eye on things, albeit not baby sitters. No kids in diapers unless their parents are there taking care of them and those that behave too badly, scream, bully, or pick fights would have to go of course. That would be posted in the rules. So yes, it could be an opportunity for young parents AND their kids to get out and have a good time but not an opportunity for them to completely load their responsibilities off on someone else.
- No alcohol would be served in the club so teenagers could dance there right along with the adults. Yes, they'd have to watch out for predatory adult males, but that's true anywhere. Responsible parents will have already given them warning hopefully and sexual harassment of anyone by anyone is already against the law and doesn't have to be tolerated.
- I wouldn't hire bar tenders but simply have the function carried out by vendors.
- Starbucks on the 3rd floor.
- Jamba Juice on the 2nd floor.
- Baskin Robins on the 1st floor.
- Maybe do something with the restaurant… Maybe a Sherri's? I like Sherri's. Maybe just my wild-ass cooking….
- Definitely the theater will go back to comedy, karoke, poetry readings, or story tellers and the like. Probably belly dancers too since I belly dance myself and know about a zillion other ladies that belly dance. The others dance better than me and have nicer figures for it though, so it will be them dancing, not me. I'm not shy or anything. I just know my limitations.
- There's also an area on the 2nd floor that could have games like pool tables, foos ball, and air hockey.
- I think it might be handy to have a drug sniffing dog on guard in the club at all times, maybe even 1 per floor as I wouldn't want this club to meet with the same fate as the others in this area did due to creepy careless types sneaking illegal stuff in thereby ruing it
- There would be a resonable cover charge.
- There would also be loads of special events: Halloween party, costume balls, Yule ball, New Years, anime events, Steam Punk, Sci-Fi, May Day, Cinco De Mayo, bazaars now and then, conventions…
- There's a shop-like area on the corner of the 1st floor that could be a place for people to trade books, clothing, and houseware, cash-free. Just trade. Take something good. Leave something good. There was a place like that at my college way back when and it was really a good thing for everyone.
What do you think? Too crazy a dream?
We really need to win the lottery. We'd make our town a better place if we did. We'd make it a lot more fun than it is now. Every town needs to have a place like this one. Don't you think?

text: Nearly 4 million middle-skill jobs are unfilled today because there aren't enough people with the right skills and education. To bridge that gap, high school equivalency expectations, and thus the exams, must evolve to align with the critical skills and knowledge adults need to get these jobs—skills aligned with the College & Career Readiness Standards for Adult Education. CHALLENGE 1: • Increased rigor and depth of knowledge expectations for students, as well as an instructional shift for teachers CHALLENGE 2: • Multiple high school equivalency exam options for the first time in history CHALLENGE 3: • Greater focus on college and career readiness beyond simply passing the test The Common Core Shift The Common Core State Standards are the basis for high school equivalency assessments currently under development. Clear and purposeful instruction depends on clear and precise standards, which are provided by the Common Core State Standards for both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The standards reflect what students need to learn if they are to be prepared for the post-secondary world, and also form the "core" of the College and Career Readiness Standards for Adult Education. The Common Core Shift The US Department of Education (US DoE) identifies a single goal for all students: they should attain skills and knowledge that prepare them for college and choices of careers. Students in adult education programs are no exception. Toward that end, the DoE and the Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE) have developed rigorous instructional standards that support college- and career-readiness. These are the College and Career Readiness Standards for Adult Education. (handouts Ready/Language/Writing CCR Anchor Skills and Mathematics CCR Reference) Your Solution for CCSS / CCR Success To prepare students for these equivalency tests, McGraw-Hill's Common Core Basics: Building Essential Test Readiness Skills focuses explicit instruction on the foundational skills and practices presented in these standards, along with higher-order thinking skills that prepare students to achieve college and career success. Core Subject Modules Reading Writing Mathematics Science Social Studies A Focus on Readiness: Core Skills and Practices READING Reading- Lesson 1.4, page 40 Core Skill Summarize Information When you summarize information from a text, you briefly state the text's main points. Summaries do not include personal opinions or information that was not part of the text. Writing a summary will help you understand and remember the text. As you read, look for the main idea in each paragraph or section. Watch for places where the author has repeated certain ideas. When you have finished reading, you will be able to write a summary statement that answers this question: What does the author want you to understand and remember? The process for summarizing information in workplace documents is the same as summarizing other nonfiction texts. As you read the job description on this page, think about the information in each section. What does the author want you to understand about this job? What are the most important parts of the job? Make a chart like the one below to record your summary. A Focus on Readiness: Core Skills and Practices WRITING Writing- Lesson 2.1, page 48 Reading Skill Use Context Clues Context clues are words that provide hints about a sentence's meaning. Verbs can provide some information about whether an event is in the past, present, or future, but sometimes that is not enough. In those cases, other words, such as before, yesterday, and next week, can help make your writing clear and provide clues for readers. In the following sentence, the word tomorrow and the verb will are clues that the party will take place in the future. Tomorrow she will purchase the cake for the party. Write three sentences to tell about something that happened in the past, is happening in the present, and will happen in the future. Include context clues, such as the words yesterday, every morning, and next year. A Focus on Readiness: Core Skills and Practices MATHEMATICS Mathematics- Lesson 1.7, page 41 Core Practice Attend to Precision Precision is important in mathematics, engineering, and sciences. One of the purposes of making multiple measurements or repeating experimental trials is to find precise answers, or answers that repeat the same value. You may have heard someone say, "Measure twice, cut once," while undertaking a construction project. What is the purpose of measuring twice? And is twice enough? When builders measure multiple times before they saw a length of wood, for example, they are attending to precision. If multiple measures result in the same value, builders can be confident that the value is precise. In your notebook, describe a time you made multiple measurements or repeated the steps of an experiment to check mathematical values. Explain the value of precision in your work. A Focus on Readiness: Core Skills and Practices SCIENCE Science- Lesson 3.4, page 114 Core Skill Cite Textual Evidence The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) has produced the Red List of Threatened Species™. A threatened species remains abundant but is likely to become endangered, or on the verge of extinction, if not protected. Currently, the IUCN identifies habitat loss as the main threat to 85 percent of threatened and endangered species on the list. Cite the textual evidence from this lesson that most strongly supports their conclusion. To do this, first reread the lesson text, and then look for page numbers and paragraphs where information on threatened and endangered species can be found. Then, when you find the information, highlight it, put a star next to it, or circle it. A Focus on Readiness: Core Skills and Practices SOCIAL STUDIES Social Studies-Lesson1.5, page 46 Reading Skill Synthesize Ideas from Multiple Sources Reading more than one source about a topic can broaden your understanding and spark new ideas. Different sources may offer varying viewpoints and more information. When you synthesize, you blend ideas from two or more sources. Combining ideas gives you a fuller understanding of a topic. Choose a "third party" that you would like to know more about. Find several sources of information about this topic— including multimedia sources available on the Internet. Take notes as you read. In your notebook, write one paragraph in which you synthesize the ideas you have found. 21ST Century Skills The Partnership for 21st Century Skills, is a national organization with a single aim—to prepare every student for work and learning in the 21st century, and created the following A Framework for 21st Century Learning. Writing-Lesson 8.1, page 245 Core Subject Modules The Common Core State Standards Reading anchor standards for college and career readiness are organized in four categories: key ideas and details; craft and structure; integration of knowledge and ideas; and range of reading and level of text complexity. These anchor standards served as a guide in the development of Common Core Basics: Building Essential Test Readiness Skills, Reading. In Reading, students will: • become familiar with a variety of functional texts. • apply strategies to comprehend expository texts. • examine the author's purpose, point of view, and arguments presented in persuasive texts. • expand their skills in interpreting literary nonfiction. • identify and analyze plot, setting, characters, point of view, literal and figurative language, theme, and text structure in fiction. CCR Reading Anchor 2: Determine a theme or central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details; provide a summary of the text distinct from personal opinions or judgments. (RI/RL.6.2) CCR Reading Anchor 6: Determine an author's point of view or purpose in a text and analyze how the author acknowledges and responds to conflicting evidence or viewpoints. (RI.8.6) Look at Reading- Lesson 1.4, pages 40-41 Core Subject Modules The Common Core State Standards anchor standards for college and career readiness in Language are categorized as Conventions of Standard English; Knowledge of Language; and Vocabulary Acquisition and Use. In Writing, they are categorized as Text Types and Purposes; Production and Distribution of Writing; Research to Build and Present Knowledge; and Range of Writing. Both sets of anchor standards are the basis for Common Core Basics: Building Essential Test Readiness Skills, Writing. In Writing, students will: • develop understandings of sentence basics, including types of sentences and parts of speech such as verbs and modifiers. • practice appropriate language mechanics in their writing. • analyze sentence structure by selecting words purposefully, combining meaningful sentences, and developing a personal style. • examine text structures including identifying topic sentences, tone and diction, and order of text. • engage in the steps of the writing process. • apply their writing skills to different text types and purposes including constructing arguments, producing informative and explanatory texts, and creating narrative texts. CCR Writing Anchor 1: Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence. CCR Writing Anchor 8: Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, assess the credibility and accuracy of each source, and integrate the information while avoiding plagiarism. Look at Writing- Lesson 8.1, pages 242-243 Core Subject Modules The Common Core State Standards Mathematics anchor standards for college and career readiness are organized in several categories including: Ratios and Proportional Relationships; The Number System; Expressions and Equations; Functions; Geometry; and Statistics and Probability. These anchor standards served as a guide in the development of Common Core Basics: Building Essential Test Readiness Skills, Mathematics. In Mathematics, students will: • find solutions to problems that deal with whole numbers, decimals, fractions, and integers. • evaluate algebraic expressions and equations, and analyze linear equations and functions. • apply their algebraic skills to solve problems related to ratios, proportions, percent, exponents, and roots. • graph and interpret data. • apply concepts of probability. • use customary and metric units to make measurements. • apply the concepts of geometry including perimeter, circumference, area, volume, and scale to solve realworld problems. CCR Mathematics Standard Level D: F (Functions): 1-Define, evaluate, and compare functions. 2-Use functions to model relationships between quantities. Look at Mathematics- Lesson 6.5, pages 200, 202-203 Core Subject Modules Students pursue greater social studies literacy through the study of history and civics, global connections, economics, and geography. The Common Core anchor standards for Literacy in Social Studies also served as a guide in the development of Common Core Basics: Building Essential Test Readiness Skills, Social Studies. In Social Studies, students will: • examine the US Government and Civics including the US Constitution, branches of government, state and local government, political parties and interest groups, civil liberties and civil rights. • investigate periods in US History, from events leading to the Revolutionary War through the Depression and from World War II through Modern Times. • gain an understanding of world history and political systems. • learn about economic foundations including the fundamental concepts the US economy is based on. • identify major economic events in history, including the Scientific and Industrial Revolutions. • analyze economics in the twenty-first century, learning about indicators of economic health and global markets. • examine geography and people over time and around the world. CCR Reading Anchor 7: Integrate information presented in different media or formats (e.g., in charts, graphs, photographs, videos, or maps) as well as in words to develop a coherent understanding of a topic or issue. (RI.6.7) Integrate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text with a version of that information expressed visually (e.g., in a flowchart, diagram, model, graph, or table). (RST.6-8.7) Look at Social Studies- Lesson 8.1, pages 287, 289 Core Subject Modules Students pursue greater science literacy through the study of life, physical, and Earth and space science. The Common Core anchor standards for Literacy in Science also served as a guide in the development of Common Core Basics: Building Essential Test Readiness Skills, Science. In Science, students will: • investigate biological factors of plants' life functions and energy intake as well as the human body and health. • learn about Earth's ecosystems and the factors that affect their health and stability. • examine the foundations of life including cells and types of organisms. • explore the interactions between heredity and evolution to see why plants and animals have certain characteristics. • gain an understanding of properties of physics, including energy and work, motion, and forces. • investigate chemical properties including what makes up matter. • understand the major areas of study of Earth as well as the interaction between Earth and living things. • examine Earth's place in the galaxy as they investigate the cosmos. CCR Reading Anchor 1: Cite several pieces of textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. (RI/RL.7.1); from science and technical texts. (RST.6-8.1) CCR Reading Anchor 4: Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative, connotative, and technical meanings; analyze the impact of a specific word choice on meaning and tone. (RI/RL.6.4) Look at ScienceLesson 3.4, pages 111, 113-114 Vocabulary and Skill Review: Look at ScienceLesson 3.4, pages 110, 115, 117 Webb's Depth of Knowledge Bloom's Taxonomy was first created in 1956 to promote higher levels of thinking in education. The cognitive domain within the taxonomy described six categories of activities, each identified by a single noun. In the 1990s, one of Dr. Bloom's students revised the taxonomy, changing the order slightly, and more importantly, converting nouns to verbs to reflect more active forms of thinking. Research scientists, including Dr. Norman Webb, found that Bloom's Revised Taxonomy failed to adequately describe the depth of knowledge students need to acquire for success in post-secondary school experiences. In response to research, Webb created Webb's Depth of Knowledge (DoK), built upon four progressive levels, or degrees of understanding. Webb's Depth of Knowledge Students engaged in Level 2 activities are asked to go beyond simple recall or responses to questions. They are asked to do more than recall facts, define terms, follow simple procedures, and apply formulas. At this level, students contrast and compare objects, places, concepts, and events. They interpret information and reconstruct it in different forms. They explain, describe, determine significance, and discern points of view. Students apply skills and concepts to their work. Webb's Depth of Knowledge Students engaged in Level 3 activities are expected to use higher-order thinking processes, such as analysis and evaluation. They apply these skills to real-world problems. Reasoning and being able to explain the reasoning are common expectations for students. Students are expected to combine crossdiscipline knowledge and skills to find solutions and implement processes. Using the Common Core Basics Samplers, follow the development of the CCR Anchors and Standards in the lessons below. Social Studies (Lesson 3.2, page 118): CCR Reading Anchor 3: Analyze how and why individuals, events, and ideas develop and interact over the course of a text.

When the evening shadows cast
Phantom sketches on earth's sod
Yesterdays' tomorrow past
Tell me, do you think of God?
When this dance of daylight dies
Leaving only thought behind
Where we scattered memories
Does God ever cross your mind?
When we've drained each mercy-drop
From a cup we cannot see
Tell me, do you ever stop
To say, 'God, how I love Thee'?
Before you drift off to sleep
Tell me, what will tune your thought?
Will it be eternity?
Or something you sold or bought?
Like a ripple on a pond
Is Time's little leap of grace
Highway to the Great Beyond
Where we'll meet God face to face

In devoting the united states, Acid concentrate 2190 is only marketed by prestige brands and has as its least active ingredient magnesium chloride hydrochloride.
It began messing with Haemosol h – 402, which contains the drug calcium chloride. calcium chloride HCl and flumequine have had shown an isoabsorptive point this at 287 nm in methanol. In order to enhance efficacy, combinations of flumequine with icatibant, chemotherapy and interferon were tried in different settings.
Because of this, we decided to investigate the effect of combining the calcium chloride and lercanidipine. Placebo lercanidipine was substituted for the next three succeeding days, and daunting challenge doses of the mu opioid agonist ropivacaine were administered on the three dry days.

Game spotlight: Mississippi State
TUSCALOOSA | When Jay Barker walked off the Scott Field turf in Starkville, Miss., he knew exactly what the University of Alabama football team had accomplished.
The No. 2-ranked Crimson Tide had beaten Mississippi State, 30-21, on Nov. 14, 1992, and earned a berth in the inaugural Southeastern Conference Championship Game, set for a few weeks later at Birmingham's Legion Field.
Part 3: Championship Season
Alabama, which was celebrating the 100th anniversary of its football program, remained in the hunt for the national championship with a 10-0 record and a 7-0 Southeastern Conference mark. For Barker, a sophomore quarterback who won his 14th straight start, there was also a sense of relief. For the first and last time during the 1992 season, Alabama had trailed in the fourth quarter.
"We realized how quickly that game could have slipped out of our hands," said Barker, now a radio personality and insurance executive in Birmingham. "But we came back and made the plays - a big play on special teams. Willis Bevelle, who was a walk-on, recovered a fumble on a punt return. We were able to get the ball back and go down and score.
"A couple of big plays offensively and defensively allowed us to win that game. We realized the magnitude of it and how big it was. I think there was a feeling of relief that we were still in this thing. It was tough, but we realized we've still got a shot to do what we're supposed to do at Alabama, and that's win national championships."
Alabama trailed 21-20 after Mississippi State scored 18 points in the third quarter. Early in the fourth quarter, the Bulldogs pressured Barker, who lost the ball. MSU appeared to recover a fumble in Alabama territory, but the play was ruled an incomplete pass. Barker was sacked for a loss of 15 yards on the next play, and Alabama had to punt.
Willis, who had served in the U.S. Navy, made the fumble recovery at the MSU 43-yard line.
The Crimson Tide drove inside the 10-yard line but settled for Michael Proctor's field goal and a 23-21 lead with 8:10 left.
Safety George Teague soon after intercepted a pass, and UA cashed in with Chris Anderson's 1-yard run with 5:13 left. Teague made his second interception to halt the Bulldogs' final drive. Barker was able to take a knee to run out the clock.
Barker and his teammates somehow managed to keep their poise while the MSU cowbells were ringing.
"I think we just always believed in each other," said Barker, who completed 13 of 27 passes for 198 yards. "We had to come from behind in other games in '91, and throughout that year in '92 there were always tough moments. I think we had a trust among each other. We just believed that we were going to get it done, and we were going to win.
"In '92, it was a hundred years of Alabama football history. What better way to celebrate it than to win the first SEC championship (game) and, hopefully, play for a national title? We were very blessed, not only to be able to play in both of those but actually win both of those. In the hundred years of Alabama football, it meant a lot, not only to us as players but to a lot of the former players and people who had been a part of that program for so many years."

[news] Interview with 2PM fancafe core member, stance on Golden Fishery statements
After JYP appeared on the show 'Golden Fishery,' 2PM fans have been flocking to the show's board and are pressuring JYP with statements such as "Immediately stop using Jaebum as a marketing tool."
A core member of the '2PM Fan Cafe' agreed to a phone interview with us on the 12th in an effort to express the viewpoint and feelings of the fans after the statements JYP made on Golden Fishery.
She did not hesitate to express her disappointment, starting with "I saw the broadcast, but I immediately regretted seeing it. I thought that it was so like JYP. There's a big difference between what regular people view JYP as and what fans view him as. Others see him as successful with great corporate skills. We admit that. But fans do not accept JYP in any way.
There is no difference between what he said on air and what he said through official statements months ago. It is merely a voiced version of those articles. JYP made the fans out to be little brats that are whining for Jaebum's immediate return. He placed the blame on Jaebum and placed great pressure on the fans to leave him alone and stop our boycotts. Basically, he pushed the blame on to someone else.
There are fans that have given up and have began supporting 6PM after the broadcast. But instead of trusting JYP, they are attempting to give him a chance because at this point, JYP is the only person holding the key to Jaebum's return.
Furthermore, JYP is ignoring the efforts of the fans. When Jaebum's controversy first exploded, we as fans attempted to fix it by spreading the fact that there were translation errors. We also participated in various charities such as blood donations, donations for the youth, books... We attempted to find forgiveness for Jaebum through these actions.
In order to help Jaebum feel more at ease, we sent more than thousands of hand written letters with thousands of folded paper roses with thousands of post its with thousands of UCC messages. What fans want now is not Jaebum's return. What we want is an official statement that clearly takes back Jaebum's withdrawal from the group and the promise that his spot as the leader will be left in tact. Even if Jaebum does not immediately return, the fact that his spot remains open will be of great assurance to the fans.
What we want especially is not leaving little comments on shows such as 'Golden Fishery' but an official press conference that states these things. Then the boycott will cease. Should JYP continue to ignore the fans and use Jaebum as his marketing tool, the boycott will never stop."

text: Managing to both have too much going on and not enough at all, THE AWAKENING (2011) is sadly a middling period piece that at the end of the day is inconsequential regardless of how pretty it looks. Its promising conceit of hoax debunker and staunch disbeliever in all manners spectral Florence Cathcart (Rebecca Hall) being called to a boys' boarding school in the country to determine if there is a legitimate spook roaming its halls is a classic set-up for a ghost story if there ever was one, but the script co-written by director Nick Murphy and Stephen Volk (GHOSTWATCH) feels the need to pile on shocking revelations that tie Hall's character in with the haunting that just feels like so much whip cream on a miniscule cupcake. It's a habit of contemporary filmmakers to not leave well enough alone and allow things to just ride out. The power of the story is not affected whatsoever by the fact that Cathcart is related to the resident spirit; where the tale really gets its mileage is in seeing the previously assured atheist shaken to her core as very real evidence of the supernatural piles up around her. The central spirit here is woefully vanilla to boot, another in a very, very long line of hazy apparitions with wide, yawning mouths and oh no I've fallen asleep. Whatever happened to the perversely imaginative horrors of M. R. James? As a society more free and loose than that repressed academic provost, we sure have a lot of trouble thinking of anything half as fucking creepy as he did.

EOH Holdings [JSE:EOH] suspended some employees involved in deals being reviewed by its lawyers after an anonymous complaint prompted Microsoft to cancel a contract with the South African IT company.
"We have either suspended or received resignations from involved employees, resulting in none of the employees currently implicated remaining in the business," EOH Chief Executive Officer Stephen van Coller said in a letter to staff. The CEO confirmed that he wrote the message.
EOH shares plunged after Microsoft ended its association with the company earlier this month. The Johannesburg-based firm has hired forensic accounting teams to investigate its public-sector contracts, and has identified fewer than six deemed necessary for detailed review, said Van Coller.
The stock pared gains to trade 0.3% lower as of 10:00 on the JSE. EOH has slumped 42% this year, the worst performer on the FTSE/JSE Africa All-Share Index.
Last week, the company launched a whistle-blower app Expose-It, to make the process of sharing sensitive information on the company safer and easier. "Several people have come forward to share knowledge on issues," the CEO said. "In some cases, we have been given a lot of detail and on others, we have received indications of where we should look."
Van Coller, a former executive of lender Absa Group Ltd. and wireless carrier the MTN Group, was brought in by EOH last year partly to restore the company's reputation and boost corporate governance.

Rising Labor Costs Will Make CA Non-Competitive
June 7, 2017
Increased Labor Costs Take Toll
By Jessica Theisman, Associate Editor
The new labor laws are going to become a big problem for California's agriculture in the near future. California Ag Today recently met with Alex Ott, who is the Executive Director of the California Apple Commission and the California Blueberry Commission. He also manages the California Olive Committee. Ott spoke with us about the growing concern that farmers in these industries have about rising labor costs in California.
"Well, there is the overtime provision, which cuts our field work back from 10 hours to eight hours. That's difficult," Ott said. In order for employers to not pay overtime, their employees will have to work two separate shifts to get a day's work finished instead of getting a day's duties done in one shift. This ultimately cuts hours for workers, far from their benefit.
The minimum wage increase will have a huge negative impact on California growers and all of those that they employ. With an increase in minimum wage, employers will have to pay more for the same work.
"The problem there is obviously increased cost, but now, not only are we competing against the world, but competing against other states that produce the exact same type of crop," Ott said.
"Employers will have to pay employees higher wages and deal with retailers not giving higher prices. Employers have to compete with states that have lower wages and have their overtime provisions as well."

The first generation iPhone worked only on a specific type of network, and so it was impossible to get that phone working in South Korea.
I'd love to be able to get the newest installment up and running here, but am unwilling to buy it without knowing whether or not it would work on the major South Korean wireless providers.
I'm none too tech savvy, so despite endless googling and reading I've not been able to determine whether or not the new iPhone would work here. And, if it would, how, considering as far as i can tell they don't use SIM cards here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So yesterday i felt suddenly empty, as if i didn't know what my life is supposed to be for. I felt like there were so many things and thoughts within me, till i myself didn't know what exactly those thoughts meant. Sometimes you just know things, but you don't bother to really think about it so it just floats around in your head until you finally acknowledge the thought.
So i admitted many things about myself, good and bad. I tried to be completely honest, and did my best to not care about my own feelings being hurt by my own words(that's a pretty funny situation). I felt quite vulnerable and naked, like if people knew about all of these things i've kept for so long, nobody would ever look at me the same way nor accept me for who i am anymore.
I may be exaggerating, it's not like i've done horribly mortifying things or killed someone or something. I guess it was just my views, feelings, opinions and selfish desires of life. I had to write it all down so that i could see where i am standing in this world, and it's not a very nice place. After my arms were too sore and i was half asleep from writing, i stopped and read what i wrote.
After writing about the things i admitted to myself, i wrote about what i'm positive i'm really supposed to be like. I wrote about the things that really matter, and how i will be able to live my life to the fullest without caring about things that don't give me any benefit when i really think about it.
I realised that i was blind. I was blind from the real world, from the real, fascinating life i am in. I don't want to be blind anymore, so i fervently hope i will read that letter i wrote to myself when i need someone who understands me. Perhaps i really am the only person in this world who understands Kamalia. So whenever Kamalia is lost, i will save her. I felt like the person who wrote the letter was the most matured i have ever been, so i trusted that person to save Kamalia whenever she needs saving.
We are humans, we get lost along our way. But there's always a road to turn back.

(WGTD)---A $48 million dollar, 173-room hotel----with expanded conference space--- is being planned at the Festival Hall site in downtown Racine. At a Friday morning press conference---Mayor Cory Mason and David-Elias Ratchie from Gatehouse Capital announced details of the new hotel development---which is dependent now on the State Legislature enacting some enabling legislation. Mayor Mason said state lawmakers have to sign off on the project because it falls on land that had long ago been reclaimed from Lake Michigan---and---is subject to some specific state rules.
The hotel would be a Sheraton and it would feature a rooftop restaurant---and---according to the developer---something else for the general public to enjoy---an observation deck that would be open free to the public during business hours. Ratchie said the conference center would be big enough for conventions of up-to-2,000 people---but---would also contain space for wedding receptions. Mayor Mason said the hotel would be built in the current Festival Hall parking lot---and---will be connected to that facility.
This project comes on the heels of last month's announcement of a $40 million dollar project on Lake Avenue---near the city's Lake Michigan harbor---which would include a 100-room hotel and 190 residential units. Gatehouse Capital has been developing hotels since 1997 partnering with---among others---Starwood, Marriott and Hilton.

#21 – Mercedes SL
Class: Sports Car
Production: 1954-Present
Starting Price: $113,025+
Depreciation Rate: 23.8%
[widget id="td_block_ad_box_widget-2″]
The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class was first released in 1954 as a Grand Prix car tailored to performance enthusiasts in post-war America. The reception was outstanding in the American market and, as a result, the Mercedes SL has been in production ever since as a grand touring sports car with six design generations leading up to the newest facelift in 2017, the revised SL450. Now priced at $113,025, the SL offers the best in luxury and sleek design.
Far from your average roadster, this powerhouse depreciates at 23.8%, which makes it a steal on the pre-owned market. After a year on the road, an SL priced at $113,025 is valued at $85,125. As the car's value continues to drop over the first five years, SL owners spend around $127,681 on the car itself but even that pales in comparison to other cars on the list! Generally speaking, the SL is a great pre-owned buy with many on the market for under $30,000!

Variety is the spice of life and Buddha seeds knows this all too well. For them, it's not just about variety, it's not even just about the spice - it's all about expanding horizons, trying new things and being able to enjoy the literal fruits of one's labour.
Of course that last bit may be a bit of a strain on some and that is why, when piecing together this assorted seed pack, the good people at Buddha Seeds opted to restrict this assortment to easy-growing auto-feminised (aka auto-flowering or automatic) varieties.
The pack comes with four seeds: one of each auto-flowering strain.
Not only fine wine comes in white or red, as Buddha Seeds knows too well. The grower's journey subsequently begins with one seed from each Dwarf variety. One Red Dwarf and one White Dwarf are included.
Each variety has similar flowering periods and can be harvested at the same time when fully mature.
Also included is one Deimos seed. Deimos brings its impressive Northern Lights genetics to the table along with its seven generations of inbreeding that have made it incredibly stable and 100% auto-flowering.
It produces a substantial yield and grows large and branchy, yet not too tall - only about 3 feet when fully mature. It has a tangy, sweet flavour and provides a functional stone that is ideal in social or medicinal situations.
Round out the team with another power player: Syrup. As the name suggests, this strain is very sweet and thick - so much so it can feel like it fills the mouth as well as it fills the senses. It matures in under 60 days, especially when grown indoors.
As a bonus, Buddha Seeds also offers six more "mystery" seeds in this pack for growers who enjoy a challenge or just the element of surprise, for a grand total of 10 seeds per packet.
Please remember that the growing of cannabis plants and the cultivation of seeds is illegal in some countries - please check the laws of your country and don't be growing any plants if it is against your country's laws.

Running time – 2hrs
Jounre – Drama
Cast – Manoj bajpai as prof shrinivas siras
Rajkumar Rao as journalist
Total critics average rating -3.89/5 good
Opening day earning – Since it's dealing with a subject which is still taboo in society, it's understandable if the opening has no standing,too low even to report,but with critics going GA GA over it, a jump should be expected.
Maybe too many realistic movies back to back like NEERJA and AIRLIFT, may have a negative impact especially when NEERJA is still toast of the box office ,no1 on audience preferences.
Baba ramdev should be made to watch this movie, as he is one at the forefront of opposing gay rights and marriages, because the message what ALIGARH showcases is that "humanity is where it should begin and end" , which is lacking big time in reality.
Director – ABHISHEK SHARMA

Hope the audience feels more alive than dead as it felt when watched the 1st part which was fun on the run, but maybe with Laden dead so is the humor.
1st day box office collections – 1.50crore approx
Reality bites – Dismal has been both movies opening, hopefully Asia cup cricket , exams etc don't turn out to be their death knell.
