“Well, since the new year came in, I would say that yes, we continue to come across illicit importation of drugs, especially methamphetamine. Methamphetamine and marijuana are still prevalent too. Although we have a different perspective of marijuana in Guam, the transportation of it is still subject to federal law,” He said. 

She said after the Usindiso Building fire, another building was engulfed in flames in Marshalltown.

The incident was caused by candles that were left unattended, she said. A building in Braamfontein also went up in flames during pipe system maintenance work by Egoli Gas in September.

A South African Revenue Service building at Frederick and Rissik Streets in Marshalltown also caught fire the same month.

Radebe-Kgiba said they couldn’t determine the cause of the SARS building fire due to water damage.

“With the fire that happened today, there are shacks inside the building, there are planks and people were on the balcony – and going in and out [from the building] is very difficult. There is a small passage for entrance and exits.”

Gwamanda’s spokesperson Mlimandeli Ndamase said the city has been identifying buildings and applying to the court for orders allowing it to evacuate the occupants based on safety and fire hazard rules. 

Ndamase said the city has approached the courts to find  alternative recourse “because the courts say we can’t evict people unless we find them alternative accommodation within a 10km radius”. 

Ndamase said so far, the city has obtained six orders to evacuate occupants of unsafe buildings and move them to areas beyond the 10km radius. 

“Each building has its own case number and as such the orders are building-specific. What it means is that this allows the city to start a process of  evacuating some of these buildings in…

Australians have hotly anticipated the opening of the very first Il Mercato Centrale in Melbourne ever since it was first announced in 2022. At that time, it was expected to launch late the same year. But it’s now 2024, and we still have no hard date for its opening.

The highly ambitious venture came across a heap of setbacks, as the team behind it is determined to create a hospitality venue unlike anything that Melbourne has ever seen. All the red tape has now been sorted, however, and construction is charging ahead at 546 Collins Street at lightning speed.

Il Mercato Centrale in Turin

First off, the 3500-square-metre space, spread across three stories, truly is enormous. The first floor will have a market feel to it but with more flash, fun and tech. Each of the vendors will be slinging their own specialty goods, with none competing with the other.

There’ll be a bakery, patisserie, pasta shop, pizza joint, cheese maker, butcher and seafood stall, to name a few. Here, you can get fresh produce to take away or order it to be cooked up right in front of you. That means that you can buy a steak to eat at home or ask them to pop it on the grill while you start on some wine that you ordered from the bar right in the centre of the ground floor. Want to make it a surf and turf? Order some grilled calamari from the seafood stall next door and create your own feast.

Conveniently, you’ll be able to order from any and all vendors all in one transaction by using a QR code — or…

Nine times out of ten, the CBD oils in today’s stores are “hemp-derived.” However, marijuana-extracted CBD is becoming increasingly fashionable, especially in states with recreational cannabis laws.

In fact, marijuana CBD has become so prominent that many new customers have questions about its legality. Is marijuana CBD the same as hemp CBD, or will these extracts have different effects? Most significantly, are both of these CBD oils legal in the USA?

Most Americans have probably heard the terms “hemp,” “marijuana,” and “cannabis.” However, unless people are involved in the legal hemp business, it’s unlikely they know the differences between these words. Heck, some people may not make any distinctions between these cultivars!

If you’re concerned with CBD oil legality, you must know that marijuana and hemp aren’t the same plants. Although these crops are in the cannabis family, only hemp is federally legal. By contrast, marijuana remains on the DEA’s banned substance list.

You could find traces of CBD in marijuana strains, but it’s typically not the primary cannabinoid. Indeed, the reason marijuana remains illegal has to do with its high THC concentration. Officially called “delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol,” THC is the primary cannabinoid that gets people “high.”

The only “high” feature in hemp is its CBD percentage. Unlike marijuana, hemp strains have significant CBD concentrations…
