1979 - The Jackson preform their Destiny tour at the Charlotte Coliseum (now Bojangles Coliseum) in Charlotte, North Carolina.
1990 - Michael is discharged from St John's Hospital where he had been diagnosed as suffering from costochondritis (an inflamation of the cartilage on the front of the rib cage) caused by over-exertion and stress. He had been admitted suffering from severe chest pains four days earlier. Tests showed that he had bruised his ribs from his rigorous dance practices.
"'At 9 p.m., he went home and is resting comfortably in stable condition", a spokeswoman for St. John's Hospital and Health Center said.
Jackson's release was not announced until after he left the hospital, where a number of fans had been keeping a vigil since he was admitted. He had sent them autographed pictures.
1996 - Michael Jackson's hit "They Don't Care About Us" hits the #4 position on music charts in the UK & #30 in the US.
1997 - On the HIStory World Tour, Michael Jackson plays the first of two nights at the Amsterdam Arena (now Johan Cruyff Arena) in Amsterdam, Netherlands to an audience of 50,000.

2003 - A charitable party was held in Devon, England (where members of the Jackson family, - including Michael, shortly, via telephone - , participated), £6,000 are raised through an auction of Jackson memorabilia, including a signed white fedora
2005 - Jury Deliberations Day 3
Today marked the end of the third full day of deliberations in the trial. Jurors have been deliberating for 20 hours as hundreds of fans continue to show their support for the singer outside the courthouse and his nearby Neverland ranch.
​

Controversy continued to reign as a Jackson spokesperson dismissed media speculation that the Jackson camp had violated a court-imposed gag order. The week has been marked by persistent media speculation into happenings in and around the courthouse.
Raymone Bain held an impromptu press conference in Santa Maria, telling journalists and fans that Michael was “taking it easy” with his family at Neverland.
"They are a strong family, and they rely on their strong faith. They realize the seriousness, but their mood was upbeat."
Bain added that Jackson was spending his time with his three children and meeting with his attorneys.
"He's in good spirits, but as you all can imagine, he's very nervous. He has confidence in his innocence"

Shortly after the conference, lead defense attorney Thomas Mesereau issued a court-approved statement saying:

"I have not authorized anyone to speak or hold any press conferences on behalf of Michael Jackson or his family. A gag order is in effect which the defense team will continue to honor."

Sources in the Jackson team said the statement was not directed at Bain, who runs all statements via the attorney.
In a telephone interview later that day Bain said:

"It appears Mr. Mesereau is concerned about a number of people who have been going to the court, using the court as a forum. He's concerned that people who do not have the authority to speak on Mr. Jackson's behalf are out there."

Earlier in the day, Rev. Jesse Jackson charged that the jury was being subjected to "psychological warfare" because of an NBC television report showing the jail where the singer may go if convicted and taken into custody.
In the report, former sheriff Jim Thomas who is now a consultant to NBC, showed the outside of the main Santa Barbara county jail and speculated about what would happen should Jackson be convicted. Stock footage of the jail cells was also broadcast.
"With an unsequestered jury, they are saying here is where he will stay," complained the Reverend.

Michael returned to the Santa Ynez Valley Cottage Hospital for a routine back treatment. The Reverend spent an hour with him as he underwent physical therapy.
"He's back at home and he's doing OK," Bain said.
The jury is scheduled for a half-day session today. No reason was given for this, but the Judge had previously noted that some jurors had obligations to attend graduation ceremonies for family members.

2005 - The Wall Street Journal scrutinizes the state of Michael's financial situation & reports that he's at least $270 million in the hole
“Jackson is surrounded by an ever-changing cast of characters, making it difficult to determine who, if anyone, is in charge of his business affairs,” write WSJ staff reporters Ethan Smith and Kate Kelly. “One camp has urged Mr. Jackson to sell some of his holding to avert financial disaster. Another group—which includes supermarket billionaire Ron Burkle—says such drastic action is unnecessary. More recently, the Rev. Jesse Jackson has emerged as an outspoken advocate for the singer and has personally interceded on his behalf with bank officials.”
Things have gotten so bad that Jackson recently worried about paying his electric bill, an insider told the reporters.
The story recounts Jackson’s heavy borrowing in recent years in order to make up what he was no longer earning from from record sales and touring, even as his expenses remained constant, a colossal $1.5 million a month, according to a source.

Did my first solo bikepacking trip from Bakersfield, CA to Santa Barbara, CA! It was only one night of camping, but I don't think I've ever pushed myself so hard mentally and physically. I loved it all even if the conditions were nowhere near ideal

More than 90% of California cannabis farms are infected with a ‘severe’ pathogen called Hop-Latent Viroid (HLVd). An infectious pathogen inside California’s pot farms called Hop-latent viroid, or HLVd is attacking cannabis plants and growing invisibly for months only to spoil a crop just as a farmer is ready to harvest. Scientists believe that it’s in nearly every cannabis farm in California and could be causing billions of dollars in damages to the U.S.’s largest State and it’s largest cannabis economy. [1]
Hop-latent viroid, or HLVd, shrivels pot plants and reduces how much weight they produce by as much as 30%. It also destroys the amount of THC, marijuana's most common active compound, that a plant produces, greatly reducing the value of affected plants. [1]
HLVd was first documented in cannabis in a pair of scientific studies published in 2019, including a study that confirmed the viroid’s presence in samples from a Santa Barbara pot farm. It’s now infected at least 90% of California’s cannabis grows, according to a 2021 estimate. It’s spreading globally, and a recent scientific paper declared the pathogen was the “biggest concern for cannabis” growers worldwide. [4] [5] [6]
Hop-latent viroid (HLVd is a serious disease that can devastate cannabis crops. The viroid causes a number of symptoms, including stunted growth, leaf curling, and discoloration. In severe cases, HLVd can kill entire plants.
​

HLVd has likely been spreading in cannabis farms for more than a decade, but at first, growers didn’t know what was harming their harvest. It was commonly called “dudding,” and it would only show up at the end of the crop’s life cycle, distorting the plant’s shape and reducing the amount of active compounds produced, like THC, by as much as 50%. This effect can destroy the retail value of a crop. [7]
HLVd’s late-acting symptoms make it a pernicious pest for modern cannabis farming. Farmers commonly grow cannabis by cutting small pieces off of one plant, frequently called the “mother,” which is then used to propagate hundreds of new baby plants.
These mother plants are artificially prevented from growing flowers, which allows them to keep producing offspring, but it also delays the symptoms of HLVd. That means a single mother plant infected with HLVd could silently spread the pathogen for months without showing any symptoms of the disease.
HLVd was first identified in hop plants, a close relative of cannabis, in the 1980s. It’s now commonly found in hop farms and can reduce the amount of aromatic compounds produced by hops, which are primarily used to flavor beer. [8]
In 2019, HLVd was first identified in cannabis when scientists confirmed the viroid’s presence in samples from a Santa Barbara pot farm. But by 2021, the viral pathogen had spread to at least 90% of the state’s pot farms, according to a 2021 survey that sampled 200,000 California cannabis plants.
And now the viroid has spread to pot farms across the world, from Massachusetts to Europe. [9] [6] [10]
Traditional methods of treating HLVd, such as fungicides and insecticides, are often toxic and ineffective. In addition, these treatments are harmful to the environment and can leave residues on the plants that can be toxic to consumers. The deleterious health problems caused by toxicants are increasing due to their penetration and accumulation through the food chain, and their persistence in the ecosystem. Such contaminants can cause acute and chronic diseases in the human body, such as lung cancer, renal dysfunction, osteoporosis, and cardiac failure. [2]
UV-C and 222nm Far UV-C are emerging technologies that show promise for treating HLVd. UV-C light is a type of ultraviolet radiation that has a wavelength of 200-280 nanometers. 222nm Far UV-C light is a type of UV-C light that has a wavelength of 222 nanometers. If you wish to destroy pathogens like HLVd, using 222nm far UV-C, 222nm light photons travel 1000 feet in one microsecond. Photons from the lamp reach an opposing wall in 1/20 of a microsecond. At 500 feet per minute air flow, it can achieve 4-log reduction in bacteria at a treatment time less than 1/8 second. That means that Far-UV line-of-sight disinfection can prevent viruses from surviving any airborne trip inside a light zone of a Far-UV lamp. [3]
UV-C and 222nm Far UV-C light are both non-toxic and environmentally friendly. They are also effective against a wide range of other pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, and mold.
UV-C Treatment for HLVd Management
While specific studies on UV-C treatment for HLVd in cannabis are scarce, the broad efficacy of UV-C in combating plant pathogens and viroids suggests its potential application for managing HLVd infections. UV-C light has been utilized in horticulture and agriculture to control various plant diseases by damaging the genetic material of pathogens.
Benefits of UV-C Treatment

1. Inactivation of HLVd: UV-C treatment has the potential to disrupt the genetic material of HLVd, inhibiting its replication and reducing the viroid load in cannabis plants. This can help prevent the detrimental effects on yield and THC production caused by HLVd infection.
2. Non-chemical Approach: UV-C treatment offers a non-chemical alternative to manage HLVd, reducing the reliance on traditional fungicides and pesticides. This can be advantageous for cannabis growers aiming to minimize chemical inputs and adopt sustainable cultivation practices.

Considerations for UV-C Treatment

1. Dosage and Exposure: Determining the appropriate UV-C dosage and exposure duration is crucial to ensure effective HLVd inactivation while minimizing potential harm to the cannabis plants. Generally dosing infected plants for around 20 seconds per plant 3-5 times per week for approximately 15-30 seconds should be sufficient. Consultation with experts in plant pathology and agricultural research is recommended to establish specific guidelines tailored to HLVd on cannabis.
2. Implementation and Safety: UV-C treatment should be implemented with care to avoid any adverse effects on plant health. Proper protective measures, such as wearing appropriate eyewear, hazmat suits, and ensuring operator safety, must be followed when working with UV-C lamps or LED systems. With 222nm far UV-C exposure should be limited to about 8 hours per day, as 222nm far UV-C is a shorter wavelength that does not penetrate past the Stratum corneum, the ‘dead layer’ of the skin. [11]

Conclusion
UV-C and 222nm Far UV-C are emerging technologies that show promise for treating HLVd. Although specific studies directly addressing UV-C treatment for HLVd on cannabis are currently limited, the potential of UV-C light to inactivate plant pathogens and viroids suggests its applicability in managing HLVd infections. UV-C treatment offers a non-chemical approach to mitigate the detrimental effects of HLVd on cannabis plants, safeguarding crop yield and preserving THC production. While further research is necessary to establish specific guidelines for UV-C treatment of HLVd on cannabis, its potential benefits warrant exploration. By harnessing the power of UV-C treatment, cannabis growers can enhance their ability to combat HLVd, protect crop productivity, and preserve the value of their plants. These technologies are safe, effective, and environmentally friendly. If you are a cannabis grower, (especially a California-based grower) who is struggling to control HLVd, UV-C and 222nm Far UV-C light may be a viable option for you.
