Glasgow cannabis enthusiasts celebrate ‘green’ on city green

Posted on by Admin

Tuesday, April 22, 2014

Coinciding with Easter Sunday, Glasgow Cannabis Social Club’s annual 420 event was held on Glasgow Green, under sunny blue skies, and overlooking the river Clyde. Despite the city’s council attempting to revoke permission for the gathering at the last minute, police were happy for it to go-ahead with approximately a dozen officers attending in high-visibility vests.

The Daily Record reported five arrests were made for minor offences, likely smoking and possession of small quantities of cannabis. Taking a less-sensational — and more accurate — line of reporting, the Monday edition of Glasgow’s Evening News stated five were referred to the Procurator Fiscal who is responsible for deciding if charges should be brought.

Official figures provided by the police were that 150 attended. With people coming and going, Wikinews reporters estimated upwards of 200 attended, compared to nearly 700 who had signed up for the event on Facebook. Hemp goods were advertised and on sale at the event, and some attendees were seen drinking cannabis-themed energy drinks.

“I was searched and charged under the Misuse of Drugs Act (which is a lot of bollocks)” one attendee noted online, adding “not fair to happen on a brilliant day like it was, other than that I had a great day!” A second said they were openly smoking and ignored by police, who “were only really focusing on people who looked particularly young”.

Cannabis seeds were openly and legally sold at the event and a hydroponics supplier brought a motortrike towing an advertising trailer. Actually growing cannabis is, however, illegal in the UK.

With the event openly advocating the legalisation of cannabis, speakers put their arguments for this to a receptive crowd. Retired police officer James Duffy, of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, spoke of the failed United States alcohol prohibition policy; stressing such policies needlessly bring people into contact with criminal elements. Highlighting other countries where legalisation has been implemented, he pointed out such led to lower crime, and lower drug use overall.

One speaker, who produced a bottle of cannabis oil he had received through the post, asserted this cured his prostate cancer. Others highlighted the current use of Sativex by the National Health Service, with a cost in-excess of £150 for a single bottle of GW Pharmaceuticals patented spray — as-compared to the oil shown to the crowd, with a manufacturing cost of approximately £10.

Similar ‘420’ pro-cannabis events were held globally.

Tips to Help Your Business Grow and Prosper

by

Lillian Dawn

It doesn\’t matter if you are operating a small business or if you are operating a larger business, you want to make sure that you keep your expenses to a minimum. There are certain things that can be done in order to help you to do so effectively. In this article, we are going to examine some of those items which can help your business to continue to grow and to prosper, even during difficult economic times. By following these tips, you will find that your business benefits greatly.

One of the first things that should be done when you are reviewing the finances of your business is to take a close look at all of the bills that you are paying. This is especially the case if you have not done so in quite some time. Make sure that you leave nothing out of the mix. Look at everything from the phone lines and utility bills that you are paying on a monthly basis, down to your Internet bills and even what you are paying for shipping costs. You may find that you are able to cut corners in some way or another, such as going with VoIP technology instead of paying extra for your telephone bill. Be sure that you also examine any mobile telephone plans that you have, as this is often an area where corners can be cut effectively.

One of the larger monthly payments that you probably have coming out of your pocket is your lease. This is something that needs to be examined carefully, as it is often the easiest way for you to cut a large chunk out of your monthly bills. It may be possible for you to downsize the building that you are using or perhaps even to negotiate a lower rent if your lease is up. One other thing to consider is telecommuting for your employees. This is something that is going to take some adjustment on everybody\’s part, but if your employees are able to telecommute, they will he happy with the prospect and it will give you the opportunity to work without having to pay a large amount in rental fees.

When it comes to purchasing anything large, it is important to consider the ways that you can save when doing so. For example, using a construction equipment auction for purchasing used industrial equipment will certainly help you to save money. Choosing the right auction that will give you the quality equipment that you need is a must, but when you find such an establishment, you can use them when necessary to get the larger equipment that you need for your business.

Finally, consider the possibility of working remotely using a cloud server instead of working on your own servers. This often has savings for the long-term, as you do not have the maintenance costs that are necessary when things happen to go wrong with your server. It also gives your employees the ability to work remotely when necessary and to access the information that they need securely.

Pakistan lifts house arrest of former PM Benazir Bhutto

Posted on by Admin

Friday, November 9, 2007

The government of Pakistan late on Friday has withdrawn the earlier detention notice and house arrest of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. Police had served her with a temporary detention notice and ordered her to serve 30 days of house arrest. Bhutto was not detained by the police.

The move came as Bhutto planned to attend a protest she organised today in Rawalpindi. She was stopped by troops who were ordered to surround and block off her home located in Islamabad. They then served her with a 30 day detention when she attempted to cross the blockade.

“I am trying to get out, as I want to go to Rawalpindi. I am in front of my house in my car. I have not been arrested and no arrest warrant has been served on me. Large numbers of policemen are present here and there are barb wire barricades and blockades in front of me,” said Bhutto.

Police claimed that they are protecting Bhutto from a possible suicide bomb attack because “some suicide attackers have come to Islamabad,” added Bhutto.

In Rawalpindi, protesters clashed with police who were enforcing a ban against public demonstrations. Bhutto has publicly announced that she will head a protest against the country’s president, Pervez Musharraf, in an attempt to get him to resign as head of the country’s military. A protest march from Lahore to Islamabad is scheduled for early next week.

Sports Betting In A Nutshell

Sports Betting In A Nutshell

Posted on by Admin

Sports bettinghave been a part of human culture on every continent on Earth. Placing a wager on the outcome of a game has been a part of sports life. There is not a single sport you can name that doesn’t have some kind of betting audience.For many peoplesports bettingis a harmful way to add excitement to your favorite sports. For some people, sports betting is more than just a way to spice up a favorite past time; it is big business. All over the world, bets are placed on basketball, horse racing, football, soccer, baseball, and every other sport you can name. Some people win big, some people win consistently and others consider sports betting as their permanent source of income.One of the biggest questions surrounding sports betting is whether or not the activity is legal. The fact is that in many parts of the world, sports betting is legal. Most of Europe and Asia regulate sports betting quite heavily, but bettors can place their wagers without fear of legal reprisals. North America is a different story. In Canada and the United States, wagering on sports is only actually allowed in four states: Nevada, Delaware, Montana, and Oregon. Of these, only Nevada actually allows sports gambling outfits to operate.Now, this does not necessarily mean that North Americans are out of luck if they want to wager on a game. The Internet has opened up a wide range of opportunities for residents west of the Atlantic to places bets on sports, although they must do so through books operated in an area where sports gambling are legal. Even so, the status of those operations is a little bit shady.Let’s take a deeper look at what sports betting is all about and how does it workHow does sports betting work? Heres how. Official sports bets, those which take place through bookies rather than buddies, are carefully measured odds offered by shrewd business number crunchers. The sports books offer several different kinds of bets, all of which are designed so that the book itself makes a profit no matter the outcome of the event. That profit is known as the vigorish (vig for short). It’s usually around $10, paid by the person who loses the wager.Generally, bettors will select one of two options when wagering on a sports event. The first is the money line, in which a straight up win by the team picked will result in money returned to the bettor.They look like this, in a baseball game:Chicago White Sox -200New York Yankees +150That example tells us two things. First of all, the White Sox are the favorites. That’s indicated by the negative sign. If you bet the Sox, then you have to put down $200 in order to win $100. That’s the second thing the example shows us; the amounts indicate how much you win if the team you select comes out on top. For the Yankees, the underdogs, you only have to pay $150 to get a shot at that hundred bucks. But, of course, the Yankees will have to win (Just kidding because Im a Yankee fan)!So there you have it, sports betting in a nutshell. I hope that youve learned a lot.

O.J. Simpson named suspect in robbery

Posted on by Admin

Friday, September 14, 2007

Reports say that O.J. Simpson, a former American football player is a suspect in a robbery that took place on Thursday night at the Palace Station Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Simpson was not immediately arrested and was later released. He was not a guest at the hotel.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police (LVMPD) began to question Simpson and at least five other people, after they were accused of breaking into a room in the hotel, with at least one of the individuals holding a gun, but its not known if the room was a guest room.

Several sports memorabilia items, all previously belonging to Simpson, were reported to be stolen from the room, which was registered to sports memorabilia collector Alfred Beardsley, and reports say that when police found the items, Simpson claimed that they belonged to him. Among the items stolen is believed to be a suit that Simpson wore during his 1995 murder trial, an autographed item that had been signed by Joe Montana, and “never before released” version of Simpson’s book If I Did It. Simpson was found not guilty of the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.

“When they talked to him, Simpson made the comment that he believed the memorabilia was his. We’re getting conflicting stories from the two sides,” said Jose Montoya, a spokesman for the LVMPD.

Reports say that Beardsley was going to sell the items and made plans to meet with someone on Thursday night who was interested in purchasing them. The unnamed individual, along with OJ claimed to be police officers and ordered Beardsley to turn over his cellular phone, which he refused. He then claims one of the men “roughed him up” before stealing every collectible in the room.

Police are expected to release a statement to the media later today.

The Best Way To Clean A Clogged Drain

The Best Way To Clean A Clogged Drain

Posted on by Admin

By Vincent Platania

Clogs happen. Kids pour things down the drain they shouldnt. Sludge builds up and slows the water. Your toothbrush slips down the drain. Hair, grease and random objects can turn your free-flowing drains into closed doors that dont let anything through. If it happens to you, knowing the right way to clean your clogged drain can save you a call to the plumber. Heres how to clear any drain in the house in a few simple steps.

The Tools You Need

You dont need to spend a fortune on tools to unclog your drains. Theyll cost less than $20 apiece at any household or hardware store. Heres the Official Drain-Cleaning Toolbox List:

– A plunger, also known as the plumbers friend. It will cost you $5 to $10. Its your first line of attack against nasty clogs.

– A plumbers snake or cable auger is a flexible steel cable that you can use to dislodge clogs that are down lower in the drain.

– For tougher clogs, or toilet clogs, a closet auger is the tool that you want. Its specially designed to get around the bend in the bottom of your toilet bowl.

– A drain cleaner for maintenance

– A bucket

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4DOQ6Xhqss[/youtube]

How to Use a Plunger]

Okay. Most people have the wrong idea about what a plunger is supposed to do. Its not meant to shove the clog further down the drain. Its meant to PULL it out, or at the very least dislodge it so that it can go down the drain the right way. Heres the right way to use a plunger.

1. Stuff any holes. If its a toilet clog, you can skip this step. In a bathroom sink, cover the drainage holes in the bowl of the sink. In a double kitchen sink, stuff a rag into the unclogged drain. If its a modern tub, the drainage holes may be along the bottom edge of the drain lever. If you dont block the holes, you wont be able to get any suction going.

2. Place the cup of the plunger over the drain completely.

3. Heres the part where most people get the wrong motion going. Youre not trying to shove something down the drain. What you want to do is create suction that will dislodge the clog. Push down firmly on the plunger until the cup is pressed against the drain. Now, BOUNCE the plunger vigorously without pulling it off the drain. Youll hear water sloshing as the suction tugs on it. Bounce for several seconds youll feel the suction grabbing at the plunger.

4. Now yank the plunger straight up hard and fast. Nine times out of ten, youll hear the beautiful slosh and gurgle of water rushing down the drain.

5. If you dont, start over with Step 1.

Two or three times should do it. If it doesnt, proceed to

Cleaning Out the Drain

The idea behind using an auger is to hook the clog and pull it out. To do that, follow these steps.

1. In a sink, youll need to get UNDER it. Place the bucket under the elbow pipe and use a wrench to unscrew it and pull it off. This will let the water in the trap drain out.

2. Feed cable from the auger into the pipe until you feel resistance.

3. Pull out about 18 inches of cable, and crank the handle while pushing forward to feed more into the drain.

4. If you hit resistance, turn the handle counter-clockwise to pull the clog back out of the drain.

5. Alternate feeding the cable in and out until the cable moves freely.

6. Pull the cable out, replace the trap and the pipe and run hot water through the drain.

7. You may need to plunge the drain once or twice to clear debris from the busted up clog.

Preventing Clogs From Happening

A little maintenance each week will save you all the hassle of having to unclog your drains. As you use your sink and tub and washer and toilet, debris and soap scum and other less savory things cling to the sides of the pipes and form a buildup. The buildup narrows your drains, making them drain more slowly, and making it more likely that clogs will happen. To prevent clogs:

1. Use a screen or guard over your drains to prevent things from dropping into them.

2. Use a drain cleaner on a regular basis. The best drain cleaner to use is one that is kind to both the environment and your pipes. Whether you buy a drain cleaning product or make your own drain cleaner recipe, you should use it at least once a month to keep the sludge from building up around the inside of your pipes and blocking the drains.

Those two steps will save you from nearly all clogs. And if they do happen well, now you know what to do!

US House of Representatives rejects bail out bill in vote

Posted on by Admin

Monday, September 29, 2008

The US House of Representatives rejected a bill on the USD 700 billion bail out of US banks. The voting on the bill has completed.

If passed, the bailout plan would have allowed for the United States government to purchase devalued mortgage backed securities, resulting from the subprime mortgage crisis from troubled financial institutions. The US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson has said that the plan could cost up to $700 billion.

There has been considerable debate over several parts of the plan, which failed with 228 votes opposing, 205 supporting, and 1 not voting. The bill had much more support by the Democratic Party (with 60% of Democrats voting “aye”) than the Republican Party (of which only 33% voted for the bill).

George W. Bush described the bill before the vote was made. “This legislation deals with complex issues, and negotiators were asked to address them in a very short period of time. I appreciate the leadership of members on both sides of the aisle, who came together when our nation was counting on them. Negotiations are sometimes difficult, but their hard work and cooperation paid off,” he said, in a speech in which Bush begged politicians to support the bill.

Question One: Should the bill have passed?Question Two: Why didn’t the bill pass?

Bush continued describing the bill. “The bipartisan economic rescue plan addresses the root cause of the financial crisis — the assets related to home mortgages that have lost value during the housing decline. Under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act, the federal government will be authorized to purchase these assets from banks and other financial institutions, which will help free them to resume lending to businesses and consumers.”

According to BBC News, congressmen opposed the bill after receiving 50 times as many letters against the bill as for the bill. George Bush attempted to respond to the criticisms of the bill by US citizens. “I know many Americans are worried about the cost of the bill, and I understand their concern. This bill commits up to 700 billion taxpayer dollars, because a large amount of money is necessary to have an impact on our financial system. However, both the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office and the Office of Management and Budget expect that the ultimate cost to the taxpayer will be far less than that”.
