Let’s start with the parade of scary numbers and predictions that seem inescapable. The WEF estimates that by 2022, over 75 million jobs will be lost, hopefully to be replaced by 133 million new jobs. In the UK, one-fifth of all jobs are at serious risk of automation. An Accenture report places that figure for South Africa at 35% of jobs. And these are the optimistic figures; some radical futurists are talking about 99% automation.
In terms of solutions, there have been some creative ideas such as universal basic incomes, yet thus far, studies don’t support their effectiveness. Another argument is that people need to be upskilled, which sounds just dandy until you take in another fact: when the first industrial revolution occurred, the solution was also upskilling.
Since machines of that era didn’t really impact most human activities, the upskilling transition was feasible. But not for horses: the number of horses plunged worldwide and has never recovered, because horses can’t be upskilled into new jobs. AI automation may be creating the same dead end for future job seekers. In response, the argument has been that everyone should ‘learn to code’, a phrase that has become so derogatory Twitter now bans accounts using it.
‘Learn to code’ is patently absurd, because not everyone can be a programmer or STEM wiz. Surely there must be much more for people to do in the future than codify machine actions?
Skills such as communication, business management, design thinking and problem-solving may not be taught with many degrees, but are sure lessons in any artisan’s career. IOT can be the conduit that keeps them relevant in the future.
The future will shed many jobs. But the answer isn’t solely to upskill people. There is also room to improve existing jobs, if they can see the value and growing ease of adopting IOT solutions.

Happy hour: one does not have to trek far down certain Vancouver streets to find those two words advertised. Whether you’re in the mood for a pint of local craft beer or a stiff cocktail with an intriguing moniker, this city is ready to quench your after-work thirst. Since 2014, B.C. liquor laws have allowed restaurants and bars to reduce booze prices during slower hours. Two years later, there are so many options that finding the right spot can be a bit overwhelming. Accordingly, here are five suggestions to make your happy hour just a little bit easier—and a whole lot happier.
You may have seen the bright turquoise sidewalk signs enticing you inside (or to the patio if you can score a seat). Cactus Club is serving up happy hour across the city. From 3 to 6pm (as well as 9pm until close, depending on the location), Cactus’s drink menu is full of summer refreshments. Try the Summer Smash ($5), the epitome of a patio beverage. Made with cucumber muddled with Thai basil and ginger, the flavour profile is one that is both cool and refreshing. The passion fruit Bellini ($5) offers a twist on Cactus Club’s signature cocktail (and is essentially the grown up version of a slurpee). For those who want a lighter version of the slushy concoction, Cactus is also serving up their Sunset Soda ($4). This vodka soda is topped with a splash of peach Bellini slush, allowing guests to try something lighter without having to compromise on the summer flavour.
1168 Hamilton St. | 102 Water St. | 127 West 2nd Ave.
The Flying Pig offers ‘appy’ hour every day between 4pm and 6pm at all three locations (Yaletown, Gastown and Olympic Village). Their menu—with dishes ranging from $6 to $7—offers a taste of some of their entrée mainstays, while also offering a few morsels reserved exclusively for the ‘appy’ hour menu. Try their crispy salmon cakes ($6.50) or the truffled jumbo macaroni with a four cheese sauce ($6.75).
With two locations—their flagship room in Kits and the other in Coal Harbour—Chewies is a regular go-to for oyster lovers. In addition to $1 and $2 buck-a-shuck options, Chewies’ happy hour offers a menu that marries both Cajun and Creole flavours in dishes such as fried green tomatoes ($10) and pork belly cracklin’ ($9). And, of course, happy hour wouldn’t be happy hour without that sweet, discounted nectar of the gods: $5 pints of craft beer and $6 glasses of wine.
Nestled in the heart of Gastown, L’Abattoir offers a more exclusive happy hour. Reserved to bar seating only—and on a first-come-first-served basis—the initial hour of the restaurant’s opening is also its happy hour. At L’Abattoir, restaurant goers can expect half-off appetizers and a bar menu offering $5 beers, $6 feature red and white wines, and a $6 signature cocktail. L’Abattoir’s happy hour is an opportunity to sample both the food and drinks at one of the city’s best French restaurants at a more wallet-friendly price tag.
Seafood lovers should make a point of visiting WildTale Coastal Grill this summer. Located on Yaletown’s idyllic Mainland Drive, WildTale serves up fresh Ocean Wise seafood with locally sourced ingredients. Happy hour is from 3pm to 6pm and again from 9pm until midnight. Drinks range from $5 to $7, and all of their bites are priced at $6. Try their halibut poppers or rock prawn poutine. WildTale also offers items from their raw bar menu, including buck-a-shuck oysters. And did we mention the patio?
We asked a dozen-plus of the city's top sommeliers to share their picks with us for some very specific scenarios...including what bevvies to bring on a kayak trip.
Make the most of a rainy weekend with good food and this Okanagan gem.
CrossFit, hot yoga: what’s healthy and what’s just vain?

Operating Agreement: After the articles of organization are filed, the LLC should have an organizational meeting where an operating agreement is adopted. This agreement contains any other provisions, which the members elect to set out for the regulation of the internal affairs of the limited liability company. A standard Operating Agreement would include: the domicile, object, duration, names and details of managers and members, duties and responsibilities of the managers and members, voting rights and contributions of capital, among other important matters in the business affairs of the LLC. The Operating Agreement is not a matter of public record.
Capital: The contributions to capital of a member to the limited liability company may consist of cash or other property, promissory notes or services rendered or to be rendered.
Managers/ Members: An LLC may be managed by its members (owners) or by selected managers. If the LLC is to be managed by its members, it operates much like a partnership. Member management is the normal default rule of state law. This means that if managers are not selected in the articles of organization, the members will direct the affairs of the LLC.
Registered Office / Agent: The LLC must have an authorized “resident agent” with a Washington State address. The registered agent may be an individual or any other organization registered by the Corporations Division to do business in Washington.
The registered agent receives license renewals and other notices and forwards them to the LLC. The agent also accepts legal papers or notices served on the LLC. The organizing documents or application to incorporate in Washington must contain or be accompanied by a statement signed by the registered agent indicating consent to serve.
The LLC allows for pass through taxation, thereby subjecting it only once to taxation. Every Washington LLC must annually pay a license fee and file a list of members and managers.

In the most unlikely event of the ANC national government agreeing to a referendum on the succession of the Western Cape from the rest of South Africa, what chance is there of the “Yes to the Republic of Zille” winning the day?
Scotland’s independence referendum has come and gone. Like they say in South Africa’s parliament: The Noes have it! But the secessionists have won all sorts of promises of powers to the Holyrood parliament which they could not have dreamt of ten years ago.
There are distinct political similarities between the Western Cape and Scotland. The Western Cape’s ethnic makeup is different to the rest of the country. Non-black people, if one can use such a pejorative term, constitute the majority. Whites are a sizeable minority compared to the rest of South Africa. Coloureds rather than blacks – I use the term black to mean African black – constitute a majority. In Scotland, the majority of the people look much like the English in England, speak the same language, but see themselves as an entirely distinct ethnic group.
Helen Zille, who some have compared with the late Baroness Margaret Thatcher, has carefully martialed the forces of opposition to the ANC in the province. Like the Scottish National Party at Holyrood, the Democratic Alliance dominates the legislature in Cape Town. The ruling party in the United Kingdom, the Conservative Party of David Cameron, has just one seat in the Scottish House of Commons. While the ANC is the largest minority party in the Western Cape, it has lost the status of government in the province and of the Cape Town metropolitan in the last eight years. The chances of the ANC returning to power doesn’t appear at all likely in the foreseeable future.
Like the Scottish National Party, the DA has been growing election after election in the last decade or so. The first major breakthrough was in Cape Town in 2006, when Zille swept aside the ANC to become mayor. In 2009, she swept aside Lynne Brown to become premier of the province. In the 2011 election the Western Cape swung heavily to the DA – an outright victory in Cape Town as well as in 11 of the 24 local municipalities in the province. The ANC won only the Beaufort West local municipality – with a one-seat majority – outright. The SNP has also been showing strong growth in the elections in Scotland over the last decade, winning an outright majority in the Scottish parliament in 2011. Interestingly it received 45.4 percent of the vote in that year, roughly what the Yes for Scotland vote was in the referendum earlier this month. With that vote it garnered an overall majority in the Scottish parliament with 69 of the 129 seats at Holyrood. It had however formed a minority government in 2007 in the Scottish Parliament with 32.9 percent of the vote.
Of course, the DA is not a nationalist party, not yet anyway. It is making significant electoral progress in the economic powerhouse of South Africa – Gauteng – and the withdrawal of the Western Cape would shrink its support in the National Assembly. It is also a huge question whether the Western Cape has the fiscal strength to go it alone. Then there is also the question, how would the province delink itself from the massive SOEs, including Eskom and Transnet. Would the Southern African Development Community allow the Republic of Zille to be part of it, let alone the African Union?
At present the issue isn’t even on the table, but regional secession as it would be in South Africa and nationalist secession as it would have been in Scotland, starts with the planting of the political seed.
No, the question is actually: "Would the Republic of Zille WANT to be part of the Southern African Development Community ?"

like the scottish national party, the da has been growing election after election in the last decade or so. the first major breakthrough was in cape town in 2006, when zille swept aside the anc to become mayor. in 2009, she swept aside lynne brown to become premier of the province. in the 2011 election the western cape swung heavily to the da – an outright victory in cape town as well as in 11 of the 24 local municipalities in the province. the anc won only the beaufort west local municipality – with a one-seat majority – outright. the snp has also been showing strong growth in the elections in scotland over the last decade, winning an outright majority in the scottish parliament in 2011. interestingly it received 45.4 percent of the vote in that year, roughly what the yes for scotland vote was in the referendum earlier this month. with that vote it garnered an overall majority in the scottish parliament with 69 of the 129 seats at holyrood. it had however formed a minority government in 2007 in the scottish parliament with 32.9 percent of the vote.
of course, the da is not a nationalist party, not yet anyway. it is making significant electoral progress in the economic powerhouse of south africa – gauteng – and the withdrawal of the western cape would shrink its support in the national assembly. it is also a huge question whether the western cape has the fiscal strength to go it alone. then there is also the question, how would the province delink itself from the massive soes, including eskom and transnet. would the southern african development community allow the republic of zille to be part of it, let alone the african union?
at present the issue isn’t even on the table, but regional secession as it would be in south africa and nationalist secession as it would have been in scotland, starts with the planting of the political seed.
no, the question is actually: "would the republic of zille want to be part of the southern african development community ?"

It is also used to treat seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a type of depression that usually strikes in the fall and winter.
Wellbutrin SR is an antidepressant used to treat major depressive disorder and seasonal affective disorder.Wellbutrin moderates the levels and activity of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine, but exactly how it works to treat depression is not known.
Studies have found that Wellbutrin when combined with dietary recommendations, can result in significant weight loss.
anger, anxiety, body aches, crying spells, depersonalization, depression, dizziness, fatigue, headache, increased, appetite, insomnia, irritability, lack of coordination, libido changes, nausea, seizures, vomiting, weight gain.
Wellbutrin is available as a standard pill of 75 milligrams (mg) and 100 mg, as a sustained-release capsule (100 mg), and as a long-acting extended-release tablet (150 and 300 mg).
An overdose of Wellbutrin is considered moderately dangerous. Deaths have been reported, but they are rare.
Call a poison control center or get to an emergency room if you believe you’ve overdosed.

Amazing drug. Saved my life. Within a couple of hours of my first day on it, the horrible depression that had engulfed my whole life was completely gone. I did not even know that kind of improvement was possible. Side effects minimal.
I was on Wellbutrin XL 300mg for six years. After three years I started having extreme woozy/dizzy spells that were ruining my life. Everyone kept blaming it on my anxiety. After three years of hating life, I went off of Wellbutrin. It took over 30 days before I even started to see relief, but by the 90-day mark, I was free from those spells. I have my life back. It would not have gone away. Wellbutrin TEMPORARILY helps with the kind of depression where you have NO motivation and crave sugar. It will make you dehydrated, constipated, edgy, and a light sleeper that only needs about 6 hours per night. It is not good for anxiety and will not help it. During the adjustment period, you could lose about 10 lbs and have the most vivid nightmares ever.

CHICAGO - Late in Dwyane Wade's lone season with the Bulls, I interviewed him for a story about the brotherhood of Chicago basketball. But first, Wade had a question for me.
"Who have you talked to for the story?" Wade said, his smile widening as he heard names such as Cazzie Russell, Isiah Thomas, Tim Hardaway and Derrick Rose.
Wade summed up the dynamic well.
"When you're from a city where basketball is known, you take pride in that," he said. "You take a next-man-up mentality. And there are so many greats in front of you that it gives you something to shoot for. It gives you a place you want to be."
Wade, whose eventual Hall of Fame career ended Wednesday night, got there.
Born on the South Side and raised in suburban Robbins, Wade retires after 16 NBA seasons, having etched his face on the Mount Rushmore of Chicago basketball with George Mikan, Thomas and Rose (apologies to Russell, Mark Aguirre and Johnny Kerr).
That doesn't mean he'll stay there as some stationary symbol carved in granite. Wade will make his primary residence in South Florida, but his foundation has remained active in Chicago. And his connection to this city is real.
"If I see any kid from the city, I'm going to put my arm around them. That's the way it was done for me," Wade said in April 2017. "The players who have done it take pride in the young ones coming up. That connection is always there. We don't have to talk about it. It's just a nod. It's just a look. When you know someone grew up in your backyard, it's just an automatic sign of respect."
How can anyone not respect what Wade accomplished on and off the court?
Three NBA championships with the Heat, including the 2006 Finals MVP award. Thirteen All-Star Game appearances. Eight All-NBA teams. Three All-Defensive teams. One scoring title. Two Olympic teams with one gold medal. The Heat's all-time leader in points, assists, steals and games.
His powerful scoring drives and highlight-making defensive havoc always seemed to shine brightest in the biggest moments.
Just as impressive, Wade's community service and charity work impacted lives in Chicago and Miami. A powerful commercial from a beer company shed more light on that this week.
At every home game in his lone Bulls season, Wade shed light on a youth making positive contributions in the community. Run in conjunction with the Bulls and his Wade's World Foundation, the "Spotlight On ... " initiative placed that individual in the spotlight on the United Center floor, and Wade also spent pregame time with him or her. He made a lifetime memory.
Wade and the Bulls were connected so many times that it almost felt inevitable that he played here - even if it also felt weird not seeing him in a Heat uniform. John Paxson explored ways to trade up to draft him in 2003. The Bulls twice hosted Wade and his Chicago-based agent, the late Henry Thomas, during the frenzied 2010 free agency. Wade's Heat teams eliminated the Bulls from the playoffs three times.
Wade signed here in 2016 because he felt shunned by the Heat. The Bulls offered him a huge payday - $47 million in a two-year deal that got bought out after one season - and the allure of playing in his hometown to make this a soft landing, a nice story.
Many viewed his time here as a lost season. Try telling that to one of those kids who had a spotlight placed on him or her. Try telling that to Wade.
Some forget Wade suffered what the team called a season-ending right elbow injury when an MRI confirmed a small fracture March 16. Instead, after an 11-game absence, Wade returned for the final three regular-season games as the Bulls clinched a playoff spot on the last day.
"I've always fought back from certain things," Wade said then. "This is no different."
Wade's talent sometimes overshadowed his professional pride and toughness. But they were there, too, throughout a Hall of Fame career that always carried a piece of Chicago with it.

Well, don’t say we didn’t warn you. Governor Kulongoski sold us a bill of goods.
Put credit where credit is due. The “daily fishwrapper”, the rapidly declining Oregonian newspaper, did some great investigative reporting over the weekend. I’ll give them credit for that.
They found all the numbers. How Governor Tax-And-Gouge-Me phonied up the numbers to make sure the Oregon Legislature would pass a package of bills. It rapidly expands the tens of millions of dollars being poured into (so-called) green power.
It’s the kind of power that he knows you would never buy if your local utility company said, “Would you like your power bill to double or quadruple or quintuple?” Of course you wouldn’t. So, he’s going to take it out of your state taxes, a tax coffer that he says is already too empty to pay for prisons, cops, or schools. But, he has plenty of money to hand to foreign companies who come into the state of Oregon and build solar cells and windmills.
Well, it’s about time we went back and fixed it. The first thing we should do is kill that program in the Special Session in February.

You can access free census records on a variety of free genealogy websites, as well as on some sites dedicated to general census research. You'll find everything from the United States Census to census records for individual states. There are also census records for Native American family research and census records for other countries.
Perhaps one of the most valuable tools for genealogical researchers, the census is a record of information about a population. It includes an official population count, as well as information about specific individuals within the population. When looking at census records, you may be able to find detailed information about your relatives and their lives.
Many people doing census research start with the United States Census. The census is a constitutional mandate in the United State, which means the Constitution requires that it be recorded at least every ten years. The first United States Census occurred in 1790, and there have been census counts every ten years since that date. Records from the United States Census are sealed for 72 years, which means the most recent census records open to the public are from 1930.
Other countries also perform an official census, and there are census records online for many of them. Additionally, you'll find online census records for some individual counties and many states in the United States.
Because a census includes an incredible amount of information, transforming it into a searchable online database is no small job. The work required to transcribe the data is significant, and putting a census online costs money. That's why you will not find every United States Census online for free.
The only United States Census record available for free is the 1880 census. This census is particularly useful because it was taken during the time of the United States westward expansion. Citizens were moving around a lot, and the census records can help you place your family at a particular location and moment in time. You can find the 1880 United States Census, the 1881 United Kingdom Census, and the 1881 Canadian Census at FamilySearch.org.
A website dedicated to providing one stop shopping for census records is Census Finder. Here, you'll find free census searches for various states in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Norway, and Sweden. You'll also find links to search census records for Native Americans.
Additionally, Census Finder provides free lists of the questions asked during each United States Census. These questions can be helpful because it's not always easy to read scanned copies of old census records.
Census Finder is still adding new information to its records and links. If you can't find what you need there, you can check back again later to see if the information has been added. Since the site is really a compilation of useful links, you can also do a specific web search for the census information you need.
AfriGeneas is a great site for free records for African American family research. The site includes several early census records for African American individuals and families.
Another good resource for census records is CensusLinks. Here, you'll find information about populations in the United States and several other countries.
While you can't personally search for information on Loricase.com, this site can put you in touch with a dedicated volunteer who will look up family information for you for free.
No matter how you choose to search for census records online, you'll find that the census is an incredibly useful resource. Researching your family history doesn't need to cost money. You can fill in a lot of the blanks on your family tree with free census records and other free public records.

Having type 1 or type 2 diabetes may put you at risk for common diabetes-related eye problems, including cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic macular edema (DME), and diabetic retinopathy (damage to blood vessels that lead to the retina), which may lead to retinal detachment.
In most cases, diabetes affects the eyes because high blood sugar and hypertension (high blood pressure) can damage the tiny blood vessels in your retina, causing them to swell, leak or even close. This may lead to a number of complications, from blood getting into the vitreous (or gel-like area) of the eye, to the retina becoming detached.
Non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) - beginning stage where blood vessels in the retina can swell and leak which may cause swelling in the retina and macula (the area near the center of the retina).
Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PRD) - advanced stage where fragile, new blood vessels grow and leak into vitreous (or gel-like area). The leaking can cause floaters or even vision loss. If scar tissue forms due to the new blood vessels, it may lead to retinal detachment.
At first, you may not experience any symptoms – the type of damage that is most commonly associated with diabetes happens gradually, and may not necessarily be noticed. If you have diabetes you should have your eyes examined regularly to help identify any eye health issues early.
Keep your blood glucose and blood pressure as normal as possible: high blood sugar and high blood pressure are high risk factors for damage to the tiny blood vessels in the eye, which is the starting point for more serious complications. Make sure your blood glucose and blood pressure are where they need to be.
If you have diabetes you should have your eyes examined regularly to help identify any eye health issues early.

Benki turns all of your appliances, and other home devices into smart technology. Their minimalist plug-and-play devices combine sensors with wall outlets and built-in wifi to make it super-simple to take full remote control over every piece of technology in your home. In addition to all the sensors, Benki even monitors how much power your devices use. The companion iPhone app is your control panel.
Last week, we featured a doohickey that rotates your iPhone for taking perfect panorama shots. BubblePod may look similar, but it’s a whole different animal. Yes, it holds your iPhone and it rotates to take panorama shots, but stay with me. BubblePod is more than hardware; it’s also software and a social network. It enables you to take a full, 360 degree photograph, by controlling each shot that it then automatically stitches together to create a perfect composite. Once it’s done, you can upload it to bubblepix.com, where you can view it in a special format that gives you control over scrolling it back and forth. It’s sort of like Instagram for panorama shots.
Ultra-thin portable battery charger for iPhone 5, it’s about the same size and shape of your favorite smartphone, and it will fully charge your iPhone up to three times (depending on which model you choose). It’s made using the same aluminum molding process that Apple uses, and it’ll hold its charge for six months (!!) when you’re not using it. Impressive.
If you carry a lot of accessories for your iPad — power cord, EarPods, stylus, adapters, etc. — then this could be the perfect iPad add-on. It snaps to your SmartCover magnetically and has lots of storage space to hold all of your doodads. But it’s sleek, smart style makes it look like something Apple might have created itself; in other words, it doesn’t stick out like an eyesore. It also functions as a carrying grip for your iPad, and a stand. Very cool.
A smart, minimalist day planner app that boasts a gorgeous flat design that Jony Ive would love. Everything is intuitive and user-friendly, down to the way you can grab and drag an event to another spot on your calendar (why can’t the iPhone Calendar app do that?). Individual events get their very own to-do lists, you can pick whatever color scheme suits you, and then there’s my favorite little touch: it integrates the weather. On the right side of the top bar (the date and day of the week are on the left side), current weather conditions are shown with the temperature and a little icon to depict sunshine vs. precipitation. Flip ahead to another time of day or up to five days from now, and you’ll get a weather forecast instead. It’s genius. Apple, give this guy a job!
As the name suggests, iCoil is a tiny case that holds the cords to your EarPods or EarBuds, and winds them up when not in use. The case’s purpose is to keep your cords from getting tangled, and anyone who’s ever owned a pair of in-ear headphones knows how easily and how often they get all tangled up. A smart idea, and an inexpensive accessory.

benki turns all of your appliances, and other home devices into smart technology. their minimalist plug-and-play devices combine sensors with wall outlets and built-in wifi to make it super-simple to take full remote control over every piece of technology in your home. in addition to all the sensors, benki even monitors how much power your devices use. the companion iphone app is your control panel.
last week, we featured a doohickey that rotates your iphone for taking perfect panorama shots. bubblepod may look similar, but it’s a whole different animal. yes, it holds your iphone and it rotates to take panorama shots, but stay with me. bubblepod is more than hardware; it’s also software and a social network. it enables you to take a full, 360 degree photograph, by controlling each shot that it then automatically stitches together to create a perfect composite. once it’s done, you can upload it to bubblepix.com, where you can view it in a special format that gives you control over scrolling it back and forth. it’s sort of like instagram for panorama shots.
ultra-thin portable battery charger for iphone 5, it’s about the same size and shape of your favorite smartphone, and it will fully charge your iphone up to three times (depending on which model you choose). it’s made using the same aluminum molding process that apple uses, and it’ll hold its charge for six months (!!) when you’re not using it. impressive.
if you carry a lot of accessories for your ipad — power cord, earpods, stylus, adapters, etc. — then this could be the perfect ipad add-on. it snaps to your smartcover magnetically and has lots of storage space to hold all of your doodads. but it’s sleek, smart style makes it look like something apple might have created itself; in other words, it doesn’t stick out like an eyesore. it also functions as a carrying grip for your ipad, and a stand. very cool.
a smart, minimalist day planner app that boasts a gorgeous flat design that jony ive would love. everything is intuitive and user-friendly, down to the way you can grab and drag an event to another spot on your calendar (why can’t the iphone calendar app do that?). individual events get their very own to-do lists, you can pick whatever color scheme suits you, and then there’s my favorite little touch: it integrates the weather. on the right side of the top bar (the date and day of the week are on the left side), current weather conditions are shown with the temperature and a little icon to depict sunshine vs. precipitation. flip ahead to another time of day or up to five days from now, and you’ll get a weather forecast instead. it’s genius. apple, give this guy a job!
as the name suggests, icoil is a tiny case that holds the cords to your earpods or earbuds, and winds them up when not in use. the case’s purpose is to keep your cords from getting tangled, and anyone who’s ever owned a pair of in-ear headphones knows how easily and how often they get all tangled up. a smart idea, and an inexpensive accessory.

The chief of police in Washington, D.C., described all the issues created by the implementation of restrictive gun laws at a press conference about crime in the city Thursday.
The city is in the midst of a spike in murders that has brought it to nearly 30 percent above the same time last year and is on pace to reach 145 by the end of the year, a six-year high.
Washington, D.C., which has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country, has banned high capacity magazines, or those that can carry more than 10 rounds.
Lanier said recent pushes to ban high capacity magazines by states around the country scared people into purchasing large quantities of the magazines, and somehow they are flooding onto the streets in D.C., where they are banned.
Lanier also attributed the city’s recent murder spike to repeat offenders who have recently been released from prison obtaining weapons and then using them to murder people.
Federal law prohibits anyone convicted of a felony from owning or possessing a firearm, yet somehow more than 10 percent of the murders in the city so far this year were committed by felons.
Washington, D.C., has a “may issue” handgun licensing policy, meaning it is very difficult for city residents to obtain a license to carry a handgun.
Under the restrictive D.C. handgun law, a person would need to prove a current and immediate threat to their safety and property to acquire a license to carry a handgun.
The district has been battling in court for months to keep the law intact and in June a judge issued a stay on a lower court’s ruling that the law was unconstitutional. The city doesn’t have to issue permits during the stay and no date has been set for the next hearing in the case.

I wish to explain the nature of a synthetic alcohol. As the name suggests it has not been extracted from the fruits such as grapes, dates etc. but is synthesised chemically.
However, Synthetic Ethyl Alcohol, which is a short chain alcohol (C2H5OH) and is a liquid, is not halal. Because it causes intoxication when ingested. As the Ulema say anything that causes intoxication even in a very small quantity will therefore be haram.
Fruits such as dates and grapes when they are putrified, produce Ethyl Alcohol which is the intoxicating agent and that is why it makes Khamr a haram drink.
I was Research and Development Manager/Senior Scientist working for reputable pharmaceutical companies (Searle, Wyeth, Roche, Aventis) in Britain for 33 years until my recent retirement. I have developed many medicinal products of which a number of them have worldwide patents. I have thoroughly studied ingredients and worked on many liquid products to avoid using Synthetic Ethyl Alcohol as a dissolving medium so that our Muslim brothers/sisters may be able to use them without any concern. At the same time I am Alhamdu-Lillah a practising Muslim living in London.
I thought it will be beneficial to send this Email message through Albalagh Newsletter for many of my Muslim brother/sisters to understand the position of Synthetic Ethyl Alcohol.
That's my grandad! I'm proud of him!

As we are imagining it, is a network of land and water-based projects. It is a contingent collaboration of autonomous efforts to decolonize, rematriate, and heal land.
The Land Relationships Super Collective is meant to provide a space for building mutual support and strategy sharing for organizations doing land-based work. In creating the Land Relationships Super Collective, we are actively avoiding the worst aspects of intermediary organizations.
Instead, we want to create something light, flexible and responsive--only for as long as it is needed--to support different paths toward decolonization and the rematriation of land.
We see this as an extension of our writings on decolonization, as a way to pursue the theories that have inspired us.
Learn about efforts to rematriate land, share practical advice, theorize together, and identify needs for resources and support, strategize on how best to find those resources and support.
Hold space for future planning, for the long view of resurgence and relationships to land.
Whenever possible, bring resources to participating members/organizations/collectives in the Super Collective.

Shanthanu Bhagyaraj made his acting debut as a child artist in his father Bhagyaraj's film Vettiya Madichu Kattu (1998), and then worked as assistant director to his father in his sister, Saranya Bhagyaraj's debut project Parijatham (2006). Shanthanu appeared in his first lead role in the college-based romantic comedy Sakkarakatti (2008), appearing alongside actresses Ishita Sharma and Vedhika. His performance received mixed reviews with Behindwoods.com stating: "Shanthanu has to play a thinly sketched hero, but he puts energy and charm into everything he does" and that "he is more than promising- he's star material, and he'll survive this wreck". Another critic at Sify.com stated that he "has that star quality to him which is so rare to find these days, but is wasted in a role in which he just romances his heroines and dances". Despite having a popular soundtrack composed by A. R. Rahman, the film received largely negative reviews and became a box office failure. Despite the negative reception to the film, Shanthanu was recognised with the Best Male Debut Actor award at the Filmfare Awards and the Vijay Awards.
After Sakkarakatti, Shanthanu appeared in the Malayalam film Angel John (2009), starring alongside Mohanlal and Nithya Menen, as a suicidal youth who is rescued by an angel. Despite the high-profile cast, the film and Shanthanu's performance received mixed reviews and it did not perform well commercially. The failure of his initial films meant that his next projects had significantly smaller budgets and lower profile releases. His next release was his father's bilingual directorial venture Siddu +2 (2010), with the failure of the Tamil version causing the Telugu version Love in Hyderabad, to be shelved. Though the romantic comedy Kandaen (2011) received positive reviews and took a good opening, his subsequent films including the action drama Aayiram Vilakku (2011), Thangar Bachan's Ammavin Kaipesi (2012) and the courtroom drama Vaaimai (2016) received negative reviews and did not perform well at the box office. In an interview in 2016, Shanthanu revealed that poor career choices had plagued his film career and he would subsequently not take advice from his father regarding film offers. He mentioned his regret at missing out on potential projects he had been offered including Boys (2003), Kaadhal (2004) Subramaniapuram (2008) and Kalavani (2010).
Shanthanu was then cast by Parthiban to play the lead role in Koditta Idangalai Nirappuga (2017), with the director suggesting that he was keen to portray tribute to his mentor K. Bhagyaraj, by casting his son in a film. The actor called the film his "re-launch in Tamil cinema" and underwent a makeover to portray the lead role of a non-resident Indian who falls in love with a married woman played by Parvathy Nair. Shanthanu won positive reviews for his performance, with a critic from The New Indian Express stating: "Shanthnu is a revelation here" and "with controlled, mature take on his role, Shanthnu displays subtle nuances of expression as Kevin travels from uncertainty and confusion, to guilt and regret". In 2017, he also acted in Adhiroopan's drama Mupparimanam, where he portrayed a medical student.
