[65:11] Wejo: We can use that in transition to the next area.At some point, people quit cycling, people on your team will quit cycling, you quit cycling, I quit running, well, I run with my dogs but quit [being] super competitive. Even if you’re working a full job and are super competitive, it’s crazy how much time, even some of these recreational people put into running, cycling, they’re obsessed and they see me now [and think] , “Oh, you’re really into running?” I’m like, “I go run with my dogs. It’s fun. What do you mean? Training? Why would I go do that?” I think you have a lot of perspective on trying to live a better life, with what’s a better life transitioning from sport–

Floyd: I think it’s their therapy. “This is my little group and I can just say whatever the hell I please, and get it out of my system and then I can go about my day.”

Cannabis extracts are an important part of the rapidly growing marijuana industry, especially in medical markets. The essential oil of cannabis, which is a concentrate of all the active pharmaceutical ingredients in the marijuana plant, is a dynamic substance that can be transformed into numerous forms for user consumption. As a starting point, extracts can be converted (with a bit of basic chemistry know-how) into products such as tinctures, transdermal patches, effervescent tablets, drink powders, suppositories and oral tablets, not to mention the standard vaporizing and dabbing oils.

Après le succès de l’édition 2016 dont la fréquentation avait connu une augmentation de 130% par rapport à 2015 (soit 33 874 visiteurs), l’organisateur Asiexpo Events met les bouchées doubles pour la Japan Touch Haru et de la Geek Touch 2017 en doublant la superficie. Ainsi, le double salon accueillera ses visiteurs sur plus de 22 000 m2 divisés en quatre univers.

I live in West River, on Porter Street, a stone’s throw from the proposed development.  For those who champion this project because it has potential to knit neighborhoods together, I want to tell you that after almost a decade of flyering, door knocking, and other outreach I’m certain that thoughtfully designed, affordable rental housing built on an island surrounded by three busy thoroughfares does not a neighborhood make.  The pre-urban renewal West River is gone.  Constructing housing without planning for walk- and bikeability, and commercial and recreational destinations nearby is unlikely to build community.

According to 24/7wallstreet.com, which lists the tallest Christmas trees per state, Louisiana has it’s tallest listed at just 30 feet. However, Broussard says it’s less about setting a record and more about inspiring others.

"He wondered about that himself," said Ruth Cotter, 81, his longtime companion whom he married in 2012.

As for the Carlsberg initiative, which is as ambitious as it is technologically fascinating, be sure to see next month’s issue of Packaging World for an in-depth interview with Carlsberg’s Simon Hoffmeyer Boas, Director of Corporate Communications & Corporate Social Responsibility. Carlsberg’s work with ecoXpac and the Danish Technological Institute could change the way we think about fiber’s role in packaging.

Floyd: Because the IOC doesn’t really do anything for us. Running is big and it benefits from the Olympics. Cycling barely gets anything from the Olympics but we’re subjected to all of their bullshit made up rules as they go and I think that’s where the animosity comes from.

Wejo: [The] Last 25 years [you think everyone is dirty so], I think your thinking is ‘if I’m doing it, why am I getting singled out for [doping]’, . Also I wonder [about] your upbringing, like you function in this Mennonite [community] that made their own rules. Now there’s a bigger community [that] made its own rules. Cycling has their own rules. And if everyone is cheating, [you’re thinking] why am I being singled out. My question is [my thought is] it does matter what you got convicted for. If you are not using testosterone and they busted you for testosterone, that means they could do that to anybody, right? Do you think the test was wrong? If I had Travis Tygart [the head of USADA] here, what would he say? He would say you used testosterone? You have no reason to lie to me now.
