Starting in 2001, Fair Food Matters' original mission was to serve the community as a resource to educate about food issues relating to health, environmental responsibility, and social justice. Although our mission today is not very different, the landscape in which we exist has changed. We are pleased that many other organizations are now engaged in food systems work and that these issues are at the forefront. As such, big changes are underway for 2016 at Fair Food Matters!
In order to continue to address needs in our local food system, two of our main programs, Growing Matters Garden and Can-Do Kitchen, will be transforming into different non-profit organizations. This will allow each to have greater positive impact in the community. The Fair Food Matters you know and love will focus solely on its original program, Growing Matters Garden, directed by longtime program manager, Heather Crull. The Can-Do Kitchen will branch out to become a separate, full-fledged 501c3 organization, focusing on food business incubation, directed by program founder, Lucy Dilley, and longtime program coordinator, Sheena Foster.
Fair Food Matters' Growing Matters Garden will continue to provide hands-on, garden-based, experiential learning for K-5 youth at Woodward Elementary School. In the long-term, we will explore how to expand programming to involve more youth in our community.
As a new non-profit, Can-Do Kitchen will continue to provide commercial kitchen space, food business incubation, and workshops to entrepreneurs. In the short term, we will move into an interim facility while we explore partnership opportunities and plan our future expansion. The expansion will build capacity for incubating food businesses and increase access to a more inclusive demographic.
The Can-Do Kitchen and Fair Food Matters' Growing Matters Garden will start transforming into separate entities this fall. We are consolidating offices and will operate out of the Can-Do Kitchen office located at 511 Harrison Street. Over the next several months, you will begin to see two different identities emerging, including social media, websites, boards of directors, and refocused missions.

A multiverse review,
with special reference to anthropic constraints
on the cosmological constant
Supervised by Professor Bernard Carr
Submitted September 2013 in part fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of
Master of Science in Astrophysics of Queen Mary University of London
We review theories for the formation of our universe with its specific constraints
of physics from a particular set of parameters. We assess the claim that current
cosmology and string landscape scenarios suggest other universes in which the parametersvary, and suggest further conjectures not yet discussed in the multiverse arena.
In this dissertation I review the scientific and philosophical grounds for the multiverse
concept. Not all versions of the multiverse hypothesis include inflation and
the cosmological constant. Noting that, I examine the central role taken by the
cosmological constant with respect to the anthropic argument (§ 4.3) and physical
parameters and coupling constants in relation to the multiverse (§ 3.2.1).
String theory and inflationary cosmology have developed rapidly over the last 35
years to now credibly forward the existence on scientific grounds of an ensemble
of cosmic regions, or universes. Physical parameters, like the masses of elementary
particles and the coupling constants, could vary between regions. The anthropic
principle (Carter 1974)[C], (a hypothesis developed in § 3.2.1 and § 4.3.1), states
the observed physics of our cosmic region is due to the selection by the observer of that particular physics.
The parameters of particle physics in the standard model are not god given fundamental
constants of nature. The values may just be our specified quantum state in
our region. Energy landscape scenarios with countless local minima may exist with
these variables, each relating to a specific quantum vacuum state. The local energy
minimum is the value of that minimum itself, the cosmological constant parameter,
Lambda (Λ), generally referred to as the energy density of the quantum vacuum (see § 4.2.1).
The standard concordance1 model immediately hits a problem. From the initial
singularity, such a massive unit must surely immediately recollapse back to a singularity
under its own gravity2? Further, the basic idea is that inflation commences
10−36 second after the Big Bang, and the vacuum energy causes this exponential
expansion. In the course of this inflation, bubble universes, or their variants, create
the multiverse. Does inflation need to occur at all?
The multiverse (or meta-universe) is the hypothetical set of infinite or finite sized possible universes. It is everything that exists (or indeed, could be contrived to
exist), be it space, time, matter, energy and the laws and constants of physics. The
specific multiverse hypothesis considered dictates the structure of that multiverse.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term was originally termed in 1895
by the American writer, philosopher and psychologist William James.3. For an
introduction to Multiverse, see (Carr 2009) or (Carr and Ellis 2008) [CE].
Though the cosmological constant (CC) is not necessary in all the multiverse
hypotheses, in the development of this dissertation, I shall attempt to show its role
in the evolution of any universe in which it is involved, and its required part in the
anthropic principle thesis.

The Trump camp clearly does not care about good relations with China. Trump does not yet understand that there is a reason business went to China and there is a reason why it can't be retrieved by boycotting or antigonizing the country. He doesn't seem to see the man behind him, military, have a harsh agenda that will be devestating for the USA and China, even though he appoints Mad Dog Mattis, his 'Patton' as his defence secretary.
Time out. What is going on? We first have to select a reality we want to make sense in, because there are a few depending on where your moral compas runs out of steam. For some it is the US economy. For others it is world peace, for others it is the survival of our species, and then there is the neocons that want hegemony of the USA.
The drone wars?
We would say that Trumps thoughts don't extend beyond making sure the US economy thrives. He likes to be popular. He got way to much control, he should be crowned and given a castle, he is showing all the signs of royalty including trying to present his daughter Ivanka as first lady and preparing for a nepotist onslaught in government.
But Mad Dog Mattis'es mind goes beyond that. He wants to protect the US from an invasion of China, the world from Chinese expansion, the US from energy shortages. You would think his moral compas has to do with US sovereignty, and also align with the Neocon agenda.
The Neocons prefer a big war and US coming out on top over some kind of multilateral process. This is why they where so clearly against Iran having nuclear weapons. 'Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran' as maverick John McCain sang. This group has been in power since Reagan, in different positions. Clearly they made Clinton their puppet.
I am not even talking about the people that, given they live in remote or unintersting areas themselves, or are financially secure enough to hid quickly in case of trouble, say "There are too many people" "Why not get rid of some chinese?". We see a resurgence of the concept of utility just like before WOII again. Don't underestimate the number of people that think your life is not worth saving or protecting.
Meanwhile China is preparing for war with the US, it has done so more than 20 years. 20 years ago I read a piece in a diplomatic magazine 'Foreign Affairs' about this. It is not a joke. China is vulnerable. It needs world trade to keep its population from becoming restless. Economic growth has been a stabilizing factor. It has been a way for US bankers and intermediaries to get rich, to escape environmental concerns, it has had benefits for all to produce in China and consume in the US, but now China depends on it.
Is the new world map with China controlling the Pacific fake news, it is at least war propaganda
Then there is an angle you might not expect. The Pentagon wants to act against climate change, it can't because of a law that prohibits it from doing so. If war broke out with Iran that would cut logistics and emissions seriously. As with a conflict with China it would devestate trade and force the US to rebuild its manufacturing base, all a lot greener. Any war throws a region back to its own resources. With todays technology that would drive an acceleration towards autonomy. At least, if the war was not to devastating.
Natl. Security Advisr Flynn hinted of helping the Middle East regaining wealth by building renewable energy sources. Duh!
Global trade and globalization was a way to sell and empower the fossil industry and its brokers and intermediaries, the banks. It is not a logical thing at all for a person in Europe to compete with one in China, only if they both eat from the same fossil fuel trough. Renewables are local and by nature antiglobalist. The people supporting and profiting from the globalists agenda know that if their agenda finally fails (because the environment or fossil fuels is no longer able to support it), they can blend back and evaporate just like bankers after a banking crisis, they can say 'nobody saw this coming', 'I was only doing my job'. This is what makes their high risk games so low risk : opague responsibility.
For one with a moral horizon of protecting the survival of humanity, a war with China and Russia, even a nuclear world war, would be welcome. Not for the loss of life and suffering that would result, but for the hard break on consumption and destruction of resources we see at the moment. If emissions would be halted or seriously reduced now that would be exactly the right time. The need for forcefull reorganization of society is increasing, either because of climate calamities or to prevent them.
We can peacefully dissipate the population and resource problems by working extraeconomically and roboeconomically
Sadly it is nearly impossible to make out the mindset of the Trump team. It is quite clear that Trump is racheting up sentiments for a war with China. It may be just because the US can not wait for China to become more powerfull. It may be just because Trump wants to create US jobs. It may be the Neocon agenda or it may be the spanner thrown into the global emissions wheel we desperately need right now. One thing seems certain. It is happening.

The World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) has partnered with real-world games developer Niantic, to enhance global tourism through mobile augmented reality (AR) game experiences.
State-of-the-art, planet-scale, augmented reality platform Niantic – the creator of Pokémon GO and Ingress Prime – joined UNWTO as an Affiliate Member on October 31, and will be engaging with the global tourism body to curate unique campaigns around the world that build awareness for UNWTO's Travel.Enjoy.Respect campaign. The campaign aims to enhance tourism's contribution to the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, with each activity being designed to inspire and support exploration.
The two organisations will work together to combine tourism and AR technology to allow players to engage with real-world locations using Niantic's mobile games in a variety of ways. Director of UNWTO's Affiliate Members Department, Ion Vilcu, says: "With our ongoing commitment to promote sustainable and responsible tourism, and Niantic having recently become a UNWTO Affiliate Member, this partnership is a natural fit. Niantic are pioneers in creating real-world mobile game experiences that not only motivate their players to discover new places, but also to appreciate the culture and beauty of the world around them."
Niantic's Head of Marketing EMEA, Anne Beuttenmüller, adds: "Our goal at Niantic is to create interactive games that encourage exercise, social interaction and exploration, giving players the opportunity to play together in the real world and discover the incredible history hidden in their own neighbourhoods. We're looking forward to creating brand-new adventures in collaboration with UNWTO to increase awareness around their mission of responsible tourism."
UNWTO is executing ongoing efforts to bring together the actors of the 'ecosystem' of tourism technology under its priority of innovation and the digital transformation in tourism.

I am sitting in the library of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. The complete works of Lenin are on a shelf in front of me. Four shelves, to be precise: Fifty-five volumes plus a two-volume index and the selected works in English – in mere forty-five volumes. I wonder: Did the university actually buy it or did the children of a dead communist donate it to clear some space at home?

International Phonetic Alphabet WINPublished 2010-07-23 English , Firefox , Free Software , linguistics , phonetics , Russia , software , Wikipedia 1 Comment
You love the International Phonetic Alphabet, do you? I mean, everybody loves the International Phonetic Alphabet. You know, these funny weird letters that tell you that the pronunciation of Eyjafjallajökull is [ˈɛɪjaˌfjatl̥aˌjœkʏtl̥].
But seriously, if you didn't study Linguistics or didn't at least study in a school in Russia, where English pronunciation is taught using the IPA, then you probably hate the International Phonetic Alphabet. In fact, chances are that you hate the International Phonetic Alphabet even more if you did. It's weird, it's hard to read unless you practiced for many months, it's impossible to type and common computer fonts don't support it well.
But people in the world of Free Software don't like to reinvent the wheel. That's why the developers of Mozilla Firefox, for example, strive to support defined standards, unlike the developers of Microsoft Internet Explorer who (officially) try to play nicely with existing websites and "not to break the web". And that's why Wikipedia chose to write all pronunciations in the International Phonetic Alphabet – because it's an accepted standard, which is in principle common to all languages. Prof. Asher Laufer of the Hebrew University, a member of the International Phonetic Association, praises Wikipedia for deciding to stick to the IPA in all articles in his textbook "Chapters in Phonetics and Phonetic Transcription".
But there's still the problem with the fonts. There are Free fonts that support the IPA well, most notably Charis SIL, but unfortunately it is not included with Windows, even though it is Free and beautiful. So if you use Windows to browse Wikipedia, you may see IPA pronunciations not as they should look. The fonts support in Windows XP is quite broken; it's better in Vista and Windows 7, but still imperfect. So you should download and install Charis SIL. Until today, however, even if you would install it, correct display of IPA wouldn't be guaranteed, because different browsers made weird and inconsistent decisions about the font selection.
So here's the WIN: I opened a bug asking to make Wikipedia display IPA consistently in different browsers on Windows, and Derk-Jan Hartman, a.k.a TheDJ, very quickly fixed it! Thank you, Derk-Jan Hartman.

In my last day in Gdańsk i had a few Złoty left and there was a record store near the bus stop, so i spent the Złoty on CD's. There's only one Polish band with which i was actually familiar – Myslovitz, whose lovely song "The Sound of Solitude" was played quite a lot on MTV in the early 2000's:
The original Polish version of the same song is just as nice:
After i got "The Best of Myslovitz" CD, i had money for a couple more. I didn't have any time to search for anything in particular, so i just tried picking something with a nice cover and immediately came upon this:
A record with such a title cannot be bad, i thought, so i immediately got it. And indeed, it is very good. Miloopa's music strongly reminded of the Israeli band J.Viewz: a female singer with a nice voice, singing in English, mostly electronic beats, good for chillout. Probably every non-English-speaking country has such a band.
The last one i bought was a record named "No! No! No!" by a band called "No! No! No!". It's a rather conventional and good indie band, singing in Polish. The lyric sheet for one song literally cites the Wikipedia article Voight-Kampff machine – that couldn't be more appropriate.
Swap languagesPublished 2010-07-14 Google , Internet , language , software , translation , Wikimania Leave a Comment

I returned from Wikimania 2010 in Gdańsk. Wikimania is the annual world convention of enthusiasts of Wikipedia and related projects. It was the first time i attended it. My reason to attend this time was that Wikimania 2011 is scheduled to take place in Haifa and i'm on the organization committee, but the event was so intense and fun, that i hope to attend it every year in the future.
The best part of Wikimania is meeting the people behind the Wikipedia accounts and the names on the mailing lists. One of the people whom i looked forward to meeting is Gerard Meijssen, one of the multilingualism gurus of Wikipedia.
Time permitting, i'll write many more things about Wikimania, but i really had to reply to Gerard's post about Google Translate. Gerard and i slept in the the same dormitory for the first days. The receptionists there, as well as at the other dormitory in which i slept later, didn't know a word of English. Luckily, i know Russian, so Polish is not completely foreign to me, but for people without Slavic background it is indeed tough.
On the second day of Wikimania i passed by the receptionist on my way out. There was a Wikimedian who tried to explain something to her. And she didn't understand. I offered my help. He said that he forgot his key inside the room. I explained it to her in half-Russian half-bad-Polish; she understood me, checked the room number and said that that room has a lock that doesn't lock the room when the door is shut. I told it to the guy, but he probably didn't quite understand me and tried to communicate with her again.
So she opened Google Translate on her desktop computer, carefully selected Polish as "from" and English as "to" and wrote something. He approached the computer, pressed the "Swap languages" button, so he would be able to write an answer in English and translate it into Polish; at that point the receptionist took the mouse from him and "helped" him: she selected English as "from" and Polish as "to". She didn't see that the "Swap languages" button already swapped languages. This ritual repeated several times. As far as she was concerned, she was an expert Google Translate user.
Eventually they succeeded at understanding each other and he found his key, but i was really baffled by this lesson in software usability.

For anyone wanting a cool editing app – download HUJI from app store. Gives your pictures more of an vintage look and I looove it.
Dan and I are currently back in Oslo after being in my hometown for a few days. Other plans for the summer? I want to make more videos for you guys, be more creative and work harder. Trips? Thinking of going to see my brother, dad and little niece very soon, then I'll go back home to spend some time with my mom as well before August is over. After that I really want to visit Mathilde and Amy who's moving (!!!) to Berlin and maybe take a quick trip somewhere in Europe for a weekend with Dan. And in between this is a lot of work as well! Haha, believe me. And then when September is over… A new destination might be next up… To live, experience and learn. You'll know ❤

The Borders is a great place for golf; not only are there a vast number of courses, which range from parkland courses to a few very good links courses, but golfing in The Borders, is also good value for money, with a number of excellent packages available from Visit Scotland. If you are planning a trip, let me know – I would be happy to help and pass on any knowledge I have picked up whilst hacking my way around The Borders!
I can certainly vouch for The Hirsel in Coldstream, a course I have been a member of for 20 years. It offers a number of challenges! It is well kept and only a 20 minute drive. The reasonable fee's are another selling point.

The Best Meals That Can't Be Missed
Posted June 29, 2010on:
Check out this mouthwatering post on GotSaga.com that I was graciously invited to contribute to: http://t.co/KcHBDfB Scroll down a bit until you see our picture!
Here's the full text of my submission. Enjoy!
China: Peking Duck – A traditional three-course meal in which the duck is enjoyed in three different ways: the crispy skin, the meat, and a soup course.
Thailand: Phad Thai – This favorite is made up of flat, skinny rice noodles, bean sprouts, scallions, and other vegetables, tossed in a flavorful spicy and tangy sauce, topped with chopped peanuts. The meat of your choice is most often added to this dish.
Vietnam: Pho is a traditional Vietnamese noodle soup that is made in countless variations. Vietnamese-style rice noodles are added to a spicy broth, along with beef, chicken, pork, or seafood and a variety of vegetables. Diners are offered fresh lime, basil leaves, and bean sprouts to garnish to taste.
Australia: Billy Tea & Damper: A traditional Australian brewed tea with milk and sugar, enjoyed with a rustic-style biscuit. The best thing about this is that it can be prepared virtually anywhere, including the middle of the Outback!
France: Duck a l'Orange or Pate de Fois Gras – Duck with Orange Sauce or a terrine of Duck Liver Pate
Austria: Weinerschnitzel – The traditional, richly-prepared Austrian veal cutlets
Switzerland: Fondue or Raclette – The fondue is most often a mixture of different varieties of Swiss cheeses mixed with white wine or kirsch and fresh herbs, eaten with bite-sized pieces of a crusty baguette. A raclette is a meal so unique I have never seen it elsewhere, even in Europe. It requires a special grill with multiple compartments and surfaces, places in the middle of the table. Diners choose from a variety of fresh vegetables, meats, eggs, or anything else the host fancies, puts the food in the raclette, and tops it off with cheeses, onion, garlic, herbs, and other condiments. The heat from the raclette melds the ingredients together, resulting in a tasty and unique creation.
Spain: Paella – This is a rice dish traditionally made with a variety of fresh seafood (clams, mussels, oysters, shrimp, scallops, etc.) and meats like chorizo and chicken. Flavored with a rich broth and plenty of bright yellow saffron, paella can be prepared over an open fire and enjoyed on the beach, or savored in a five-star establishment.
Morocco: Traditional Couscous – This traditional meal is presented in huge, deep bowls. First, a generous portion of couscous fills the bottom of the bowl, and is typically topped with cubed or sliced lamb, beef, and chicken or another meat of choice. Fresh, colorful vegetables are added (root vegetables, etc.), then a slightly spicy, flavorful broth is ladled over everything….a great king-sized meal!

This is the text of an article I wrote for WhereI'veBeen.com that was published on their site today. Enjoy!
1. France: This country has a long history of excellent wine-making, and many newer wine-producing regions have learned from the French techniques and used them to produce their own wines. The varied regions of France produce abundant varieties of wines, sparkling wines, and champagnes. Amongst France's best-known wine-producing regions are: the Loire Valley, Alsace, Champagne, Burgundy, Beaujolais, and Cognac. Visitors to France will have a wonderful opportunity to explore and enjoy the products of this world-renowned wine destination.
2. Italy: The sunny slopes of the Italian countryside are known to produce some of the best wines in the world. Whether you explore the hills of Tuscany and enjoy a glass of Chianti, or prefer Asti from the northern regions or the sweeter taste of Marsala from southern Italy, this country has something to please everyone's wine palate. Known mostly for red wines, Italy also produces some excellent white, sparkling, and fortified wines. And of course, good Italian food enjoyed in a pristine, authentic setting will only make your wine taste better!
3. Germany: Germany's wine regions are so numerous that they are more often referred to as "wine routes," or areas wherein travelers or visitors can follow one particular route and expect to find several wineries, whether large or small. Germany's proximity to the Alsace region of France has resulted in a number of French and German wines that share some common characteristics. Similar to other wine-producing regions of the world, some of the best German wines come from small-scale, "boutique" vintners and estate wineries, all of which travelers can visit if they wish, although they may need help from locals or a destination specialist in order to find the location and arrange the visit. Germany is also renowned for its beer production, something that is often of interest to wine lovers. Since fine German cuisine makes use of both good wine and beer, Germany is a destination no culinary traveler should miss!
4. Australia: Avid wine lovers should definitely plan a visit to the land "Down Under." This amazing destination offers you the delights of the Hunter Valley, Barossa Valley, the Adelaide Hills region, and the McLaren Vale region, just to name a few. The vistas in these regions are varied, all vast and beautiful, with gourmet dining and luxury accommodations to complete your ideal wine tour vacation. You can take a sunrise balloon ride over the vineyards. You can even enjoy your newly-discovered Australian wines with a bush lunch (picnic) in the Outback!
5. South Africa: Cape Town is the gateway to some of the most breathtakingly scenic wine-producing lands in the world, many of them within an hour's drive, and others a longer journey through spectacular landscapes. Each of the regions has its own unique character, as do the wines produced there. The well-developed Western Cape includes historic villages, charming guest houses, gourmet restaurants, and world-class golf courses. Travel along the coast, enjoying the spectacular scenery of the famous Garden Route. A wine tour of the Western Cape and Garden Route will prove to be a delightful experience for all.

8 Secret-Weapon Foods for Weight Loss
Want to boost your efforts to lose weight? Of course the foundation for successful weight loss is eating well and exercising, but if you want to power up your efforts, check out this diet cheat sheet of foods that do a little of the work for you. Research shows that these 8 secret-weapon foods can help you lose weight
1. Mushrooms
Research reports that when people ate mushroom-based entrees, they felt just as satisfied as when they'd eaten those same dishes made with beef—though they'd taken in a fraction of the calories and fat.
2. Eggs
In one study, dieters who ate eggs for breakfast felt full for longer and lost more than twice as much weight as those who got the same amount of calories from a bagel for breakfast. Think beyond breakfast, too: eggs boost a salad's staying power and make for a satisfying snack.
3. Apples
For a mere 95 calories, a medium apple contains 4 grams of fiber. And recent research, published in the Journal of Nutrition, suggests that boosting your fiber intake may help you to prevent weight gain—or even encourage weight loss
4. Low Calorie Desserts
OK, so this isn't exactly a "health food," but we welcome the news that it may be easier to stick to your diet if it includes a little sweet treat. Yay!! This is actually wonderful news for me!!!. According to a new study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, banning sugary foods could lead to overeating. One reason may be that removing access to sweet foods stimulates the release of a molecule in your brain called corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), produced when you're afraid, anxious or stressed, says Pietro Cottone, Ph.D., lead study author. And increased stress levels may lower your motivation to eat more nutritious foods, making it more likely that you'll binge on junk food.
5. Soup
Research published in the journal Appetite has shown that people who start a meal with vegetable soup eat 20 percent fewer calories over the course of their meal.
6. Oatmeal
Eating a breakfast made with "slow-release" carbohydrates, such as oatmeal or bran cereal, three hours before you exercise may help you burn more fat, suggests a recent study in the Journal of Nutrition. Here's why: in the study, eating "slow-release" carbohydrates didn't spike blood sugar as high as eating refined carbohydrates, such as white toast. In turn, insulin levels didn't spike as high and because insulin plays a role in signaling your body to store fat, having lower levels may help you burn fat. Want options beyond oatmeal?
7. Hot Chile Peppers
In one study, consuming a little hot pepper (in tomato juice or in capsules) 30 minutes before a meal helped study participants feel less hungry and eat about 10 percent less.
8. Almonds
Chew more to curb hunger. That's what researchers concluded in a recent study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in which they asked participants to chew a 2-ounce serving of almonds 10, 25 or 40 times. Participants got maximum satisfaction—they felt fuller longer—from the nuts when they chewed 40 times. Chewing more may cause a greater release of fat from the almonds, which triggers hormones that curb hunger

c. 2000‑1500 BCE The Patriarchal Period
According to the Biblical narrative of Genesis, the first Jew was Abraham, commanded by God to leave his native Mesopotamia for the land of Canaan. As the founding fathers of the nomadic Hebrew tribes, Abraham, his son Isaac and grandson Jacob became known to Jewish tradition as the Patriarchs. Their wives—Sarah, Rebecca, Leah, and Rachel—are the Matriarchs. This formative period ended when Jacob, renamed Israel, followed his son Joseph to Egypt during a period of famine in Canaan.
c. 1260 BCE Moses, the Exodus, and Sinai
Exodus, the second book of the Bible, relates how the prophet and lawgiver Moses led the twelve Israelite tribes—descendants of the twelve sons of Jacob—out of their slavery in Egypt. During their sojourn in the desert, the tribes were united into the "people of Israel" at Mount Sinai, the traditional site of God's revelation of the Torah.
c. 1200‑1050 BCE The Israelite Conquest of Canaan
Under the leadership of Joshua, the twelve tribes conquered and reapportioned Canaan as the land of Israel. Thereafter the people were led by a series of religious/military chiefs called Judges. From this period comes the earliest archaeological evidence of the people of Israel, mentioned on an Egyptian stele in the name of Pharoah Merneptah.
c. 1049 BCE Samuel Anoints Saul King of Israel
With this event the period of the Judges ended and the Israelite monarchy began. Saul's successor David (ruled c. 1002‑970) established a united kingdom, centered in his capital city of Jerusalem. David's son Solomon (c. 970‑931) built a Holy Temple in Jerusalem, thereby unifying Israelite religious life there as well. Following Solomon's death, however, his warring sons divided the kingdom between the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah.
722 BCE The "Ten Lost Tribes"
The northern kingdom was conquered by the Assyrians and its population deported. These are said to be the ten tribes lost to Jewish history. The Israelite monarchy continued in Judah, and the era of classical prophecy began. As the monarchy declined over the next century and a half, the major prophets in Israel were Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel.
586 BCE The Babylonian Exile
The Babylonians conquered the kingdom of Judah based in Jerusalem, destroyed its Temple, and exiled the monarchic and priestly leadership. Although the Babylonian Exile lasted only fifty years, the first permanent Diaspora, a Jewish community outside Israel, was created. It was probably during this period that the people of Israel came to be called Judean and later, Jews.
444 BCE Ezra Reads the Torah
Following the return to Israel (called "Zion" after Mt. Zion in Jerusalem) in 538, and the rebuilding of the Temple in 515, Ezra the Scribe returned in 458 and commenced work on the final composition of the Book of the Law, the Torah. On Rosh Hashanah (New Year's Day) in 444, Ezra read the Torah in public for the first time, marking the emergence of Judaism as a formal religion.
164 BCE The Maccabean Revolt
A Jewish group called the Maccabees rebelled against the Syrian Hellenists and rededicated the desecrated Temple in Jerusalem. These events are commemorated by the holiday of Hanukkah. Jewish independence was reestablished under a Maccabean/Hasmonean monarchy, and Biblical history came to an end. The concluding book of Daniel is also dated to 164 BCE.
0 CE Hillel and Jesus in Judea
During a period of religious and political turmoil under Roman rule, various interpretations of Judaism competed for primacy. The priestly tradition of the Sadducees tended to align itself with the ruling power. The scribal tradition of the Pharisees, represented by sages such as Hillel and Shammai, later emerged as Rabbinic Judaism from which all major, contemporary forms of Judaism derive. The apocalyptic tradition of the Essenes formed the background for the emergence of early Christianity. About this time, according to tradition, rabbi Hillel died and Jesus was born.
40 CE Philo of Alexandria
In the Hellenistic city of Alexandria, Egypt, a burgeoning Jewish community was highly assimilated into Greek culture. The Septuagint, a second century BCE Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, and the philosopher Philo are the best known examples of the Alexandrian blend of Hellenism and Judaism, a pattern of cultural synthesis continuing to this day. In 40 CE, the elderly Philo traveled to Rome as part of a Jewish delegation to plead for the sanctity of the Temple in Jerusalem.
70 CE Destruction of the Second Temple
Following the outbreak of the Jewish War in 66 CE, the Roman armies began the reconquest of Judea. In 70 CE the Roman General Titus entered Jerusalem and destroyed the Temple. Three years later, the Jewish rebels—called "Zealots"—made their last stand at the mountain fortress of Masada. With the destruction of the Temple and the mass suicide of the rebels in the face of anticipated capture and slavery, the very survival of Judaism was endangered. In response, Rabbi Yohanan ben Zakai moved the Sanhedrin (the rabbinical council) from the besieged Jerusalem to the town of Yavne, and there established a new yeshiva, a rabbinical academy, for the reconstruction of Jewish law.
c. 220 CE Completion of the Mishnah
With two more unsuccessful revolts against Rome—the Diaspora revolt in 114-17 and the Bar‑Kochba revolt in 132-35 CE—the military option was exhausted and rabbinic activity was redoubled. Following the martyrdom of Rabbi Akiva and his disciples, the Sanhedrin and a succession of academies moved to the Galilee in the 140s CE. Two generations later, around 200 CE, the curriculum of the yeshiva was redacted into the first compendium of Jewish law: the Mishnah.
c. 500 CE Completion of the Talmud
Ongoing rabbinic debate and scholarly productivity culminated in a voluminous commentary on the Mishnah called the Talmud. The Jerusalem Talmud (the "Yerushalmi") was compiled c. 400 CE, and a century later, the more authoritative Babylonian Talmud (the "Bavli") was completed in the famed academies of Sura and Nehardea.
882 – 942 CE Saadiah Gaon in Babylonia
With the decline of Jewish life in Judea, Babylonia emerged as the major Jewish community of the world. It reached its peak under the leadership of Rav Saadiah Gaon (known as Rabbi Saadiah the Genius), the head of the yeshiva of Sura. Born and educated in Egypt, Saadiah moved through the yeshivot of Palestine, Syria, and Iraq before being called to Babylonia. There he authored an early prayer book and the first major medieval Jewish theological treatise, The Book of Beliefs and Doctrines; he wrote in Arabic and is considered a pioneer in the field of Judeo-Arabic literature.
900 – 1100 CE The "Golden Age" of Spain
For two centuries, Jewish life thrived in Muslim Spain, known in Hebrew as Sepharad. This Sephardic Jewish community produced a rich culture exemplified by courtiers such as Hasdai ibn Shaprut (905‑75), and poet/philosophers such as Solomon ibn Gabirol (c. 1020‑57) and Judah ha‑Levi (c. 1075‑1141).
1040 ‑ 1105 CE Rashi in France
In southern and central Europe (called Ashkenaz, Hebrew for Germany) a more insular Jewish culture flourished which produced rabbinic commentaries on the Bible and the Talmud. The foremost exponent of this tradition was Rabbi Solomon ben Isaac of Troyes (also known as Shlomo Yitzchaki), more commonly referenced by his acronym, Rashi. Rashi's commentaries are used in Jewish study to this day.
1135 – 1204 CE Maimonides in Egypt
The greatest figure in the intellectual history of medieval Jewry was Rabbi Moses ben Maimon, known also as Maimonides and by his acronym, Rambam. Born in Cordova, Spain, he moved to Fez, Morocco and eventually settled in Cairo, Egypt where he became court physician to the Muslim ruler. As a rabbinic scholar, Maimonides merged the traditions of Sepharad and Ashkenaz in the Mishneh Torah; as a philosopher, he synthesized Jewish and Aristotelian thought in the Guide for the Perplexed.
1290 CE Jews Expelled from England
Following the First Crusade in 1096 and the Crusades of the 12th century, the Jewish status in Christian Europe rapidly declined. Anti‑Jewish stereotypes and false accusations abounded. The deteriorating situation culminated in the mass expulsion of the Jews of England.
1492 CE Inquisition and Expulsion from Spain
Exacerbated by the "Black Death" of the mid‑fourteenth century, the scapegoating of Jews increased and book burnings, rioting, and expulsions ensued. In 1391, massacres of Jews spread across Christian Spain, leading many to submit to baptism. The new phenomenon of converted Jews (called marranos or conversos) led to a campaign to root out false Christians. The institution of the Inquisition in 1483 culminated in royal decrees to expel the Jews of Spain in 1492 and the Jews of Portugal in 1497.
1516 CE The Ghetto of Venice
To accommodate the growing number of Jewish refugees, the authorities of Venice, Italy created a special quarter for Jews in the ghetto (lit., foundry) district of the city. This became the prototype of a series of Jewish quarters established throughout central Europe, serving to segregate Jews from the majority population and culture.
1564 Joseph Caro Publishes the Shulchan Aruch
In Ottoman Turkey, part of the emerging Sephardic Diaspora, the scholar Rabbi Joseph Caro (1488‑1575) first completed the Beit Yosef, a detailed commentary on Jewish law, the Halakhah, and then summarized his rulings in the Shulchan Aruch, which became the standard guide to Jewish practice in use to this day.
1560s CE The Kabbalists of Safed
The Zohar, purported to have been written c.1286 by Moses de Leon of Castille, became the central text of Jewish mysticism, called the Kabbalah. With the disaster of the Spanish expulsion, the Kabbalah attracted many new adherents who sought explanation for their suffering. A center of Jewish learning arose in the Palestinian town of Safed under the great Kabbalists Rabbi Moses Cordovero (1522‑70) and Rabbi Isaac Luria (1534‑72).
1648 CE Massacres in Poland
The Cossack uprising under Bogdan Chmielnitski, accompanied by widespread massacres, ended a period of security and prosperity for the Jews of Poland. Highly organized under the "Council of the Four Lands," Polish Jewry's greatest rabbinic figure was Rabbi Moses Isserles (c. 1520‑72) of Cracow, who adapted the Caro's Shulchan Aruch for Ashkenazi Jews.
1657 CE Jewish Rights Guaranteed in Holland
Sephardic refugees began to arrive in Amsterdam at the end of the sixteenth century. By the mid‑seventh century, the community had grown in size and importance. Two of its most noteworthy members were Rabbi Menasseh Ben Israel (c.1604-57), who petitioned Cromwell for Jewish readmittance to England in 1655, and the philosopher Baruch Spinoza (1632-77), whose heretical views had him excommunicated from the Jewish community in 1656. On July 13, 1657, Dutch Jewry was granted full rights of residence and trade, the first acts of the "emancipation" of Jews in early modern Europe.
1665 CE Shabbetai Zvi, Claimed Messiah
Influenced by the Lurianic Kabbalah, Nathan of Gaza announced the arrival of the Messiah in the person of Shabbetai Zvi (1626‑76). Shabbatean messianism caught the imagination of great numbers of Jews and lived on through the next century, most notably in the Polish Jewish circle of Jacob Frank (1726-91).
1700‑1760 CE The Baal Shem Tov and Hasidism
A more successful movement of Kabbalistic messianism was Hasidism, founded by Rabbi Israel ben Eliezer. Known as the Baal Shem Tov, he preached in the Podolian town of Medzibozh in the 1740s and 50s. After his death his Hasidim (followers) spread his teachings of popular piety throughout Eastern Europe. The first work of Hasidic literature, Jacob Joseph of Polnnoye's Toldos Yaakov Yosef, was published in 1780. The rabbinic opponents of Hasidism were led by Rabbi Elijah ben Shlomo Zalman Kremer, the Vilna Gaon (1720‑97).
1783 CE Moses Mendelssohn and the Haskalah
Following Emperor Joseph II of Austria's Edict of Tolerance in 1782, there was hope for the further abolition of medieval restrictions on Jewish life. Moses Mendelssohn (1729‑86) became the principal spokesman of the movement to acclimate Jews to European culture. In 1783, the Berlin Haskalah, Hebrew for "enlightenment," was inaugurated with the publication of Mendelssohn's Jerusalem and the founding of Ha‑Me'assef, the first modern Jewish literary magazine.
1791 CE Emancipation of the Jews of France
After intense debate in the National Assembly, Revolutionary France granted citizenship to its Jewish population—the first formal emancipation of Jews by a modern European state. Though the principle of equal status was spread throughout Europe by French conquest, opposition to Jewish emancipation remained. In 1806, Napoleon convened a modern "Sanhedrin" at Paris to test the loyalty of his Jewish subjects.
1810 CE The First Reform Temple
Israel Jacobsen built the first modern synagogue, called a "temple," in Seesen, Germany. In 1815, Jacobsen moved to Berlin and instituted a private service in his home. Three years later, the New Israelite Temple Association inaugurated the first systematic Reform worship service in Hamburg. The opening of the Hamburg Temple signaled the start of the Reform movement in modern Judaism. Its principles were clarified in the rabbinic synods of 1844‑46, led by Reformers Abraham Geiger (1810‑74) and Samuel Holdheim (1806-60).
1819 CE The Birth of Modern Jewish Scholarship
Following anti‑Jewish riots in Germany, a group of Jewish university students formed the Verein fur Kultur und Wissenschaft des Judentums, a scholarly society for the defense of Judaism by intellectual means. The Wissenschaft group developed into the first movement for the scientific study of Jewish sources. Among its members were Immanuel Wolf (1799‑1829), Leopold Zunz (1794‑1886), and the young Heinrich Heine (1797‑1856).
1836 CE Hirsch and Neo‑Orthodoxy
In response to Reform Judaism and the Wissenschaft group, Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch (1808-88) argued for the viability of traditional Judaism in the modern world. His best known work, Nineteen Letters on Judaism, was published in 1836. In 1851 he was called to serve as rabbi of the congregation of Frankfurt‑am‑Main, where he established his vision of a "Neo-Orthodox" Judaism.
1854 CE Frankel and "Historical Judaism"
Seeking a middle way between Reform and Orthodoxy, Zecharias Frankel (1801‑75) formulated a rationale for the preservation of Jewish tradition he called "positive historical Judaism." In 1854, he was appointed director of the Juedisch Theologisches Seminar at Breslau, which he developed into the prototype of the modern rabbinical seminary. Frankel's moderate position set the precedent for today's Conservative movement in American Judaism.
1881 CE Anti-Semitism and Jewish Resettlement
The 1881 assassination of Czar Alexander II precipitated a wave of pogroms (anti‑Jewish riots) in Russia. Anti-Semitism, a term coined about 1879, began to spread as a modern political movement. The years 1881‑82 saw the onset of a mass immigration to the United States as well as the beginnings of the Zionist movement. Leo Pinsker's 1882 pamphlet "Auto-Emancipation" precipitated the founding of a proto‑Zionist movement and the First Aliyah (1882‑1903), a movement of pioneering settlement in Palestine.
1897 CE Theodor Herzl and Zionism
Shocked into action by the anti-Semitic Dreyfus Affair in France, Austrian playwright and journalist Theodor Herzl (1860‑1904) organized the political movement of Zionism. Although Zionist literary utopias had been published before, Herzl's The Jewish State burst on the scene in 1896 and motivated the convening of the First Zionist Congress in Basel, Switzerland, in 1897.
1920s CE Rosenzweig and Buber in Germany
The major figures in early 20th century Jewish thought were two German Jewish philosophers of religion, Franz Rosenzweig (1886‑1929) and Martin Buber (1878‑1965). Rosenzweig's major work was The Star of Redemption (1921) and Buber's was I and Thou (1923). In 1920, Rosenzweig founded the Freies Judisches Lehrhaus, a center for modern Jewish education. Rosenzweig and Buber also collaborated on a German translation of the Bible.
1933‑1945 CE The Holocaust
The rise of Nazism in Germany was the final blow to the promise of Emancipation. After revoking Jewish citizenship in 1935, the Nazis accelerated their attempt to rid Germany of its Jews. During World War II, radical Nazi anti-Semitism led to the murder of nearly six million Jewish men, women and children throughout Europe—one‑third of the world's Jewish population. The Holocaust, as the catastrophe has come to be known, is a central event in modern Jewish consciousness.
1948 CE The Establishment of the State of Israel
The Balfour Declaration of 1917 gave new impetus to the Zionist movement. Combining international lobbying, overseas fundraising, agricultural settlement in Palestine, and the building of a civil infrastructure called the Yishuv, the Zionist movement laid the groundwork for the establishment of the state in 1948. As a Jewish symbol, the rebirth of Israel ended centuries of exile and powerlessness, helped to heal the pain of the Holocaust, and offered new possibilities for the future of Jewish life.
1967 CE The Six-Day War and Jewish Survival
Israel's victory in the Six‑Day War in June of 1967 led many American Jews back to an identification with Israel. The preoccupation with Jewish survival was also evident in renewed concern over the rate of intermarriage, as well as belated attention to the Holocaust as a pivotal event in Jewish history.
1972 CE First Women Rabbis Ordained
In 1972, Sally Priesand was ordained as a Reform rabbi by Hebrew Union College. In the same year, a New York‑based Jewish feminist group called Ezrat Nashim issued "Jewish Women Call for Change," a manifesto demanding the equalization of religious rights for women in Conservative Judaism. Reconstructionist Rabbinical College, which had been the first seminary to admit women, graduated its first class in 1973. Women's ordination was not approved by the Conservative movement until 1983, and the first Conservative woman rabbi, Amy Eilberg, was ordained two years later.
1973 CE Yom Kippur War
In October 1973, Israel was embroiled once again in a war with her Arab neighbors. The war began on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year. While the majority of Israelis were at synagogue and the attack caught the nation by surprise, the war was won by Israel. The fighting lasted from October 6th-25th and dashed any sense of security Israel had felt after the Six Day War.
1970s CE Alyiah from the USSR
In the last ten to fifteen years of the Soviet Union, world Jewry rallied around the cry of alleviating the suffering and persecution facing the Jews in the USSR. Natan Sharansky, who now chairs the Jewish Agency, is the poster-child for this movement, whose book Fear No Evil documents his experiences. Thousands of Jews, with the financial support of their Jewish brothers and sisters around the world, were eventually allowed to leave the USSR, with many making aliyah to Israel, while others immigrated to other Western countries.
1993 CE Oslo Peace Accords
On September 13th, 1993 Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin of Israel and PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization) Chairman Yasser Arafat publicly signed the Oslo Accords on the White House lawn along with President Bill Clinton. While this agreement heralded in a time of unprecedented optimism in the region for a true, lasting peace, it lost favor at the turn of the millenium with the outbreak of the Second Intifada, due to a perceived lack of follow-through by both the Israelis and the Palestinians.
1995 CE The Rabin Assassination
Throughout the world, Jews flocked to their synagogues to mourn the tragic death of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. The killing by the hand of a Jew sparked mutual recriminations between Orthodox and non‑Orthodox Jews as well as new initiatives for reconciling opposing camps within Judaism.
2000-2005 CE The Second Intifada
As the new millenium unfolded, Israel and Palestine were embroiled in the most violent clash in recent memory. Sparked by a visit to the Temple Mount by opposition leader Ariel Sharon on September 28th, 2000, the Intifada was marked by a spike in violence on both sides, with Palestinian suicide bombers targeting Jerusalem and the surrounding areas and the Israel Defense Forces responding by targeting locations in the Occupied Territories (Gaza and the West Bank) and setting up a system of checkpoints. This eventually lead to the erection of the Separation Barrier to ostensibly keep violence out of Israel. The Second Intifada led to a widespread malaise among left-wing Israelis (and Jews worldwide), with many feeling hopeless in the face of the violence.
2012 CE Spain Welcomes Descendants of Sephardic Jews Who Fled During the Inquisition
In late 2012, the Spanish government announced that descendants of the Sephardic Jewish community who fled during the Spanish Inquisition of the fifteenth century would, upon proof of lineage, be granted a Spanish passport and a fast track to citizenship. This led to an influx of applications and ongoing discussion about who qualifies as "Jewish."

Art Exhibit in Dallas
For Immediate Release
Dallas, TX—One of the most respected dealers of Lowbrow editorial and illustratrated art, Matthew Abramowitz, brings his renowned Los Angeles, Calif., establishments, The 4th Wall Gallery and The Gallery@Storyopolis, to Dallas.
Opening May 21st at 2925 Fairmount Street, The 4thWall Gallery brings its stable of popularly recognized artists from the Lowbrow movement (The underground visual art movement that began in LA in the late 1970's and now is a widespread populist art movement that has been called pop surrealism.) to Dallas. The 4th Wall has been defined as "feeding one's mind and soul through imaginative artists and is sure to tantalize and impress the minds of both the beginning and the experienced art collector." With its unique and limited collection, The 4th Wall Gallery abolishes labels and celebrates artists breaking down the walls of conformity as home to an amazingly diverse group of world-renowned artists.
"We look forward to bringing to this vibrant City our one of kind pieces for families who seek to invest in collections they can share with their families for generations," says Abramowitz. "The 4th Wall Gallery is the realization of a vision to make a home for art that pushes your mind's eye. Kristine and I are proud to have Gallery Director, Jordan Roth as part of the 4th Wall team. He brings a unique understanding to both the local and global art scene."
Three prominent artists will be featured in the opening exhibition: New York sculptor and painter CYNTHIA von BUHLER; New York and Miami painter MIGUEL PAREDES; and noted New York artist and illustrator SCOTT BAKAL. All three artists will be present for Gallery opening on May 21st.
CYNTHIA von BUHLER
Art & Antiques magazine, in March of 2006, named von Buhler "one of the top contemporary surrealists." An internationally exhibiting visual artist, her work has been on the covers of New York's Gallery Guide, Communication Arts, and New York Arts along with feature articles. Prior to moving to New York von Buhler was chosen by Boston Magazine as one of the "40 Bostonians We Love." Von Buhler's work is in hundreds of personal collections all over the world; Howard Stern owns a portrait of himself painted by von Buhler, while Jann Wenner, the publisher of Rolling Stone, purchased von Buhler's portraits of Madonna and Jimi Hendrix. In February, 2007, von Buhler and her interactive sculptures, were featured on television in Japan, Switzerland, and Germany as part of the exhibit, 'Andy Warhol: In His Wake." Her award-winning illustrations have been recognized as being among "the best and most cutting-edge" in the country. Von Buhler is the author of the popular children's "The Cat Who Wouldn't Come Inside," published by Houghton Mifflin. In the Steven Spielberg celebrity-written benefit book Once Upon A Fairytale she illustrated a story by Martha Stewart. CVB Space, von Buhler's art studio in Manhattan's Meatpacking District, has been featured in Sex and the City, Law & Order SVU, Someone Like You (starring Ashley Judd, Hugh Jackman, and Greg Kinnear) and No Reservations (starring Catherine Zeta-Jones).
Paredes is a product of the explosion of street culture in New York City as he attended the prestigious La Guardia High School of Music & Art-- hip hop, rap, break-dancing and graffiti-- which greatly influenced him, as did the work of contemporary artists Andy Warhol and Keith Haring and the earlier works of Picasso, Chagall, and Miro. As talented at the stove as at the drawing board, Paredes also is known for his culinary skills at such Miami hot spots Delano Hotel, China Grill, and the Booking Table. The 4th Wall opening features the largest collection of Paredes works shown to date and will focus on his new Los Ninos series. (We need to add something more here about Los Ninos)
Scott Bakal has been showing in galleries and doing commercial work for the likes of Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, The New Republic, Yoga Journal and Discover. Bakal's work also can be found in private collections throughout the world and has recently been included in the permanent collection of the Museum of American Illustration in New York City. His illustration for Me +theDevil, which recounts the story of the short life of the revered Blues guitarist Robert Johnson, has received a total of 21 recognitions and two medals. Works from the Me +the Devil series will be featured at the Dallas opening. For this series, Bakal uses simple shapes and lines to build a part fact, part fictional little known world of Johnson into something tangible for the viewer. In both the color and black and white work, he creates glimpses of life and ghostly images of what could have happened all those years ago which helped create the legend of his life and death.
Abramowitz and his wife Kristine also bring to Dallas The Gallery @Storyopolis. Called "the capital of imagination where books feed the mind, art feeds the soul, events feed the imagination and stories come to life," Storyopolis also will be at the Fairmount Street location and will have a grand opening in June. Its original illustrations from children's books are said to lift the stories off the pages and onto the walls of children's rooms…. or those of the nostalgic adult who never wants to grow up. The likes of Sara Ferguson, Julie Andrews, and Hayden Panettiere have done theatrical readings at the Gallery in Sherman Oaks.
"Brad Pitt, Denise Richards, Faith Hill, and Sharon Stone shop and marvel over our fabulous art unique to The Gallery@Storyopolis," says, Kristine Abramowitz. "We are thrilled to bring our wonderful collection of original illustrations and art from famous children's stories to Dallas where appreciation for the arts has energy unlike any other city."
The 4th Wall Gallery is located at 2925 Fairmount Street, Dallas, TX 75201 and is open Monday through Saturday, 10:00 am-6:00 pm; evenings by appointment; and Sundays 2:00-6:00 pm. For more information call 214/740-9400.

Is there an altcoin for CBD oil? There's Potcoin, Hempcoin and Cannabiscoin and, of course, you can buy CBD oil with Bitcoin if you like. However, Google searches using a few different variations of, "Is there a CBD Oil cryptocurrency altcoin?" failed to turn up a CBD Oil Coin.
Now that I've mentioned that CBD Oil Coin isn't taken, a Bitcoin clone with that name will probably show up real quick. The thing is, CBD Oil Coin isn't strictly necessary at this point because cryptocurrency insiders have recognized that there could be demand for a relatively anonymous way to pay for hemp and cannabis products.
The three altcoins I mentioned were specifically created to support the marijuana, hemp, and cannabis industry in a legal environment in which the growth, sale, and possession of cannabis and marijuana are not necessarily legal.
*Want to Learn More About Cryptocurrencies? Click HERE
This is the most well-known of the cryptocurrencies that are geared toward supporting the marijuana, hemp, and cannabis industry. The benefits of using this currency include the ease with which it can be accepted by retailers and exchanged on ShapeShift if sellers don't want to hold on to it. Sellers can easily accept Potcoin along with several other top cryptocurrencies by using CoinPayments and brick-and-mortar retailers can integrate PotWallet into their POS stations.
A quick search of CoinPayments' store directory reveals that there are a few online sellers of e-cigs and cannabis products that take Potcoin. This makes for a good branding move when buyers might be a bit nervous about buying cannabis products like CBD oil in an environment where some states have made marijuana legal but the federal government hasn't yet. Just going by what's on the CoinPayments directory, Potcoin has also made strides with sellers in several indusries that are willing to integrate altcoins into their business. You can even buy raw honey for Potcoin.
This cryptocurrency has apparently been dragged down by some technical issues that included premature halving and issues with security, which the CannabisCoin team was reportedly trying to fix as of the last update in June 2017. Once these issues are fixed, one thing the team could do a better job of is increasing adoption.
This may include getting on CoinPayments, but the real challenge would be staying on CoinPayments. This payment processor tends to be bad about removing less popular cryptocurrencies before they really have a chance to catch on.
Because a major issue for me is WordPress integration for more of the altcoins that are actually decent, the CannabisCoin team might be well-advised to team up with the better known cryptocurrencies to develop plugins that enable tipping and purchases using multiple cryptocurrencies.
This might boost transaction volume enough to make it more attractive to relatively mainstream payment processors like CoinPayments, which would in turn make CannabisCoin more attractive to sellers of CBD oil.
HempCoin appears to take a wider view of the marijuana, hemp, and cannabis industry by providing wider support for the industry's supply chain, including farmers who might be interested in growing hemp and marijuana on an industrial scale. This cryptocurrency claims to be interested in helping to facilitate the sale of marijuana and its derivatives to retailers.
If Hempcoin has a weakness, it's that it doesn't link to sellers of hemp, marijuana, and cannabis sellers who take Hempcoin. Neither is it on CoinPayments. That means buyers simply won't know where to go to spend their Hempcoin on CBD oil and that can slow down adoption unless they do a Google search, and that can be frustrating when the best that potential buyers can find is a CryptoCoinNews article.
Its other chief weakness is that it was originally launched by Rocky Mountain Ayre, a struggling holding company that likely wanted to give itself a shot in the arm by cashing in on cryptocurrencies.
While it may be possible to reboot a cryptocurrency that has gotten something of a reputation for being a borderline scamcoin, the fact that it looks so much like a last-ditch effort to save a publicly traded corporation from bankruptcy may hamper any future efforts by the HempCoin team to gain traction in the cannabis industry.
Which cryptocurrency would be best for sellers of CBD oil and other cannabis products? In the absence of a currency that is specifically dedicated to CBD oil, Potcoin could be called the popular frontrunner, CannabisCoin could catch up if it can fix the technical issues, and HempCoin is the lame duck that has been hobbled by a less than auspicious beginning. Sellers of CBD oil could take their pick or choose all three if they prefer, but should definitely start with Potcoin.
Thanks for reading!

Remember on Wednesday I posted about the INSANE day I had with my husband?! (Click here if you missed it) Well I have to admit something. Maybe you will think I am totally normal or maybe you will think I am a total FREAK, but regardless, I made a promise to always keep it real when I write so here I go.
At least once a day, since I found my husband passed out unconscious and bloody on the floor, I look at my him and start crying. No really. It is the weirdest thing too. It's like a random uncontrolled burst into tears kind of thing. I can't help it. In that moment, when I found him…when he wasn't responding to my screaming for him to wake up, I thought he was dead. I really truly did. My brain totally went to the worst place ever. My strong Faith? Out the window. My clear-thinking thought process? Gone. All that kept running through my brain was that he was dead. He had a seizure and died. He had a brain aneurysm and died. I really didn't know what happened. I just felt like my life, our life, was flashing before my eyes in those few minutes. You see this stuff happen on the news all of the time. Bad, sad things happen ALL OF THE TIME. They have even happened to people I love.
But the thing is, the worst did NOT happen. So why am I having such a hard time emotionally getting past it? Like I have had these bad nightmare flashback visuals, it's awful. He and I have had these beautiful talks about our marriage, our family, our love since Wednesday happened, but no different than before really. The funny thing is though, since I had Breast Cancer six years ago, I really feel like we both make SUCH an effort to appreciate life, each other, our family, EVERYTHING… that I really didn't think I could actually appreciate him anymore. Boy, was I wrong. I've hugged him more the last few days. I've looked at him a little differently…and it's not just the broken nose and stitches. 😉
It has made me so super reflective. Super grateful. Full honesty, I'm kinda a goob and I normally do this thing where I might be driving and it's a beautiful day and I tell God…"Thank you for this." or "Thank you for that" but good gravy, you should hear me this past week. God must be up there, thinking…alright already, I got it Cindy. YOU ARE THANKFUL. lol I think about how much I love my husband. Like OUT OF CONTROL looooove him and you can gag away, lol, but it's true. However, don't confuse that with oh look at me…we have a perfect marriage, cus come on now, that's not reality. Nothing is perfect but the love I have for that man…it's pretty darn close.
Maybe I will get back to my happy normal self soon but maybe I like the even better glasses for which I now see him.?
