Wholesale CBD Oils and Isolates
Purchasing Bulk CBD oil at wholesale in Pullman basis is not an easy task. There are many things to consider when doing so. In fact, the cost and quality of the oil would depend on the plant it is extracted. Another factor that has a direct impact on the price of the product is the quantity of Wholesale Bulk CBD oil produced by the plant.
Wholesale CBD Oils and Isolates
CBD oil is one of the most important oils on earth. In fact, industrial hemp oil is not a drug as most people would think. The THC content in this oil isn't significant enough to produce any psychotropic effect. Our oils are 100% made in the USA and don't contain any THC. Many people might come across industrial hemp oil when searching for cannabidiol (CBD) oil to purchase.
Hence, CBD wholesalers in Pullman need to do their homework and get to know what exactly are their clients searching for. There are numerous fake CBD oil wholesalers in the United States, Canada, and the UK for that matter. More than 90% of wholesalers offer low-quality oils with a purity levels.
Buy Wholesale CBD Isolate in Pullman Washington
Our prices are quite economical compared to other so-called CBD wholesalers on the market. In fact, most of these people are middlemen or brokers who drive the prices up. That's why you need to buy from the producer if you want the best oil at an affordable price. A one-stop shop is the best place to purchase your CBD materials, oils, and get them shipped to your doorstep. That way you get a high-quality product at a price you could easily afford. One disadvantage of hemp oil is it hasn't been extensively tested on humans as yet. Although hemp oil is likely to have health advantages to humans, it is not established properly by the medical fraternity.
You don't have to visit our shop in person to buy the product. That will help you save time and money in the process. You should extensively research the drug store before buying your products. Remember, there are many scam traders posing off as legitimate drug sellers online.
Since CBD is a natural oil, it is safe to be taken orally. We offer bulk quantities of CBD hemp oil to all our deserving consumers out there. In fact, we are the leading provider of wholesale CBD oil products on the market.

Wholesale CBD Isolates
Wholesale CBD isolate is a powdered cannabidiol extract that is incredibly pure, and that contains the 'medicinal' parts of cannabis. This anhydrous substance is 99% CBD, and it can be used as a food additive, added to liquids, or ingested in other ways to enjoy the medicinal benefits of CBD.
CBD oil use is a relatively new thing, and there are still a lot of questions about exactly how it works and what it can do, but it is known that it is safe, and if you can get CBD That does not contain THC (as CBD isolates are known to), then you can get the healing and pain relief benefits without the psychoactive effects.
CBD can be used to help calm people down, help them focus, and also help people who suffer from chronic pain conditions as well. CBD will not get you 'high' but it can help with arthritis, ADHD, nagging injuries, and even with skin conditions.
Some people mix Wholesale CBD isolates in with e-liquids, to inhale the substance. Others put them into edibles, which can help with the bio-availability (as long as you don't over-cook them, breaking the CBD down).
There is a lot of misinformation out there about CBD. The oils are actually legal in most parts of the world (Canada is one of the only places where it is formally considered a controlled substance, even though it does not contain THC). Wholesale CBD isolates are expensive, because of the purification process, but they are very potent, and you should find that they do their job very well.
What's In CBD
Cannabidiol and tetrahydrocannabinol are the two cannabidoids that occur naturally in Hemp. Thy are very similar when they are examined at the molecular level, and initially many law enforcement departments treated them as being the same. However, it has since been found that CBD has the focus and mind-enhancing aspects of cannabis, and that it can act as a nootropic - but it is not a psychotropic.
THC's mind-altering behaviour is what makes it illgal - some people experience paranoia, and some people experience highs that make them lose control of their faculties. This makes THC dangerous in certain environments (such as if you are driving, or operating heavy machinery), and that's why it is considered illegal in many states.
Cannabis has pain relief effects, and it can improve the quality of life for people who have serious medical conditions. Medical marijuana is one option. CBD is an option for people who want the pain relief, without the mind altering effects. Wholesale CBD isolate makes it possible to take in CBD without the strong taste, and without the 'side effects'.
CBD and THC are not addictive. Some people enjoy the 'highs', but that doesn't mean that they are going to get biologically addicted to it. CBD offers relief of pain at the neuro-synapse level. The pain relief can be lasting, but it does not cure whatever was causing the pain. Rather, it reduces the production of cytokines by the Glial cells in the injured area, stopping you from feeling pain while there is an injury.
The way that CBD and THC interact with each other when you smoke marijuana are complicated, and it's hard to know exactly what taking CBD isolates by themselves will do. Initial reports from 'early adopters' however, suggest that Wholesale CBD will work to ease Parkinson's tremors, help autistic people focus, soothe the pain from arthritis, and generally improve their quality of life. It's well worth trying if you have already tried painkillers, and found them to be ineffective for your needs.

2 Ky. women killed in Tri-State crashes
Crashes remain under investigation
Two Kentucky women were killed in separate crashes on Saturday.
Police said Tarin D. Todd, 19, of Independence, lost control of her minivan on Madison Pike near Nicholson just before 2:30 p.m.
The minivan ran off the road, overturned, sheared a telephone pole and continued off the road, going airborne for a short distance.
Todd was transported to University Hospital where she was pronounced dead. A juvenile passenger was treated and released.
About two hours later, Pauline Sandifer, 78, of Frankfort, was killed when she failed to yield and turned her car from Bennett Road into the path of a westbound car on State Road 156 in Switzerland County.
The driver of the other car, Emily Harsin, 20, from Vevay, was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
Both crashes remain under investigation.

Dear PR People: If Your Exec Has A Comment, Our Comments Are Open
from the so-please-use-them deptOne of the points we've tried to make around here regularly is that this blog is not a traditional journalism effort. I am not a "reporter." I do not go out seeking stories to report on. I write about what I find interesting and I give my opinion on it -- and I do so in a way where I expect a discussion to happen in our comments from which we can all learn. I find that to be a lot better of an experience for everyone involved than to go out talking to a bunch of people behind closed doors and then writing up a "one true report" on the matter that probably leaves out half of the interesting stuff. Instead, I post what seems interesting and the comments are then very much a part of the story.
I've written many times before that we get more than enough stories sent to us by readers -- and I find plenty of interesting stories myself. I can't think of a single case where a PR person has turned me onto a PR story that I've cared about and hadn't already seen elsewhere. But PR people still fill my inbox daily with stories about all sorts of stuff we'd never write about, because they clearly don't read the site. They assume that any tech story is automatically relevant, so they spam me and probably 100 other sites. Perhaps some of them care and find the emails useful, though I doubt it.
In the last year or two, there's been a growing number of PR people who have moved on to a new tactic. Since actually getting press to cover the company you're representing is difficult, they now send around emails to writers about certain news stories, saying that so-and-so exec at such-and-such company, which has absolutely nothing to do with the story at hand, is "available for comment" on this story. So, for example, if two big companies announce a partnership, a PR person will send an email saying that some startup CEO in a market impacted by that partnership (barely), is "available for comment" about that partnership. It's basically a desperate PR person's attempt to get some press for a client where none is warranted.
Except, of course, we never quote people for posts here. We're not reporters. We're not looking for sources. We write about our opinions on stories and that's it. We'll quote another article, in order to comment on it, but we're not looking for sources at all. If you read Techdirt, you'd know that.
I recently put a message on Twitter about this, saying that, for all the PR people who had someone "available for comment" on stories, the comments on Techdirt are enabled and open for them to comment on any story they feel is relevant. It got a really good response on Twitter, so I figured I'd expand on it into a post. If you are a PR person, and you represent someone who has "a comment" on a particular story, please point them to the site where they are free to comment away, along with everyone else, as a part of a conversation, not some PR effort. And, please don't be offended if I just emailed you a link to this post in response to your offer to have some random exec "comment" on some unrelated story.

According to Tomahawk Nation, Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston was recently cited for attempting to steal crab legs from a Publix grocery store.
Here's Tomahawk Nation:
"He got an adult civil citation," a trusted source inside Tallahassee Police told Tomahawk Nation. "If he completes the sanctions it will never show up on his record. They commonly give them to juveniles on first criminal offenses. They are now doing it for minor misdemeanors for adults to lower crime rate."
Although Tomahawk Nation cites a source within the Tallahassee police department, the citation was not given by Tallahassee PD (a spokesperson within the department vehemently denied that any recent contact had been made with Winston), but by the Leon County sheriff's office. It appears that the sheriff's office plans to hold a press conference to shed some light on the situation, for some reason:
That seems... excessive? This may be the first time in history that a shoplifting citation has sparked a news conference. Good job, everyone.

Clint Eastwood has added another starring role to his CV at a golfing tournament - that of life saver.
The screen legend attended a volunteer party on the eve of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am PGA Tour event when he noticed tournament director Steve John choking on a piece of cheese. The 83-year-old actor quickly performed the Heimlich manoeuvre at the Monterey Conference Centre.
John said the Hollywood actor saved his life. He described how Eastwood immediately saw that he was in trouble and lifted the 202-pound tournament director three times about a foot off the ground.
Eastwood told The Carmel Pine Cone it was his first time using the Heimlich manoeuvre.
The actor and director is the chairman of the Monterey Peninsula Foundation, which runs the popular PGA Tour event. He presents the trophy on February 9.

Undergrad's research image makes cover of Astronomical Journal
Valerie Marchenko '13 was a competitive figures skater for most of her life before Brandeis. She says it would have been nice to make the cover of Skating Magazine.
But now her mind is more on stars than skates, and she is very happy to have the image she created of the quasar 3C345 chosen for the cover of this month's Astronomical Journal, that features an article she co-authored with astrophysics professors David H. Roberts and John F. C. Wardle.
A physics major with minors in creative writing and math, Marchenko has been doing research since her freshman year. This is her second paper in a mainstream astronomical journal. Her first was co-authored with professors Roberts and Wardle and two other Brandeis undergraduates.
Marchenko began studying astrophysics in the beginning of high school. She says her interest doesn't stem from any event in particular, but rather a general curiosity about the origin of pretty much everything.
The journal cover is the result of many months of imaging the source, which she says is especially interesting due to its unusual twisted polarization structure. Unlike most observed sources, she says, the electric vectors of 3C345 do not lie transverse to the axis of the plasma jet but instead twist by some 30 degrees.
Her data come from the Very Large Array (VLA), which consists of 27 radio antennas spread over a 22-mile diameter area located in New Mexico. The most productive telescope in history at any wavelength, it is operated by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. Marchenko uses the software Astronomical Image Processing System (AIPS), to calibrate and process the data, and to image the target.
"One of the best things about Brandeis is the opportunity to carry out serious research as an undergraduate," says Wardle. "Valerie learned how to make these images from Professor Roberts, using a technique called aperture synthesis, which is difficult even for graduate students." The AIPS software enabled her to take data from the 27 antennas, and make an image with the detail that would be seen by a single antenna 22 miles across.
"From the resultant images, we are able to study interesting characteristics about these extragalactic objects such as their radio structure, geometrical properties, and luminosity distributions," says Marchenko. "The cover image shows the 'spectral index' of the radio emission coded in false color, superposed on a contour map (like a relief map) showing the brightness of the radio emission."
The "spectral index" tells the relative numbers of high and lower energy electrons. Red and yellow areas indicate where there are more high-energy electrons, and green and blue areas show where there are more low-energy electrons.
The center of the galaxy that hosts this quasar is the red area on the left, where there is a super-massive black hole. Wardle says it's probably a billion times the mass of the sun, and spins rapidly as it shoots out twin jets of plasma. One of them is brighter, he says, because it's coming toward Earth at nearly the speed of light. The jet on the other side is much too faint to see because it's moving away from Earth, just as quickly.
Quasars, says Wardle, are the nuclei of big galaxies that are receding from us with the expansion of the universe. This quasar, 3C345, is 5.6 billion light years away. The jet, although garish in technicolor, is really very faint, says Wardle. It's hard to see, especially compared to the bright core on the left – it's like looking for a faint streak of light next to a lighthouse that is pointing right at you and therefore requires very careful imaging to be able to see it.
Marchenko learned of her cover image fame when Wardle shared the news with her via email.
"My first reaction was to forward the message to my parents and brother," says Marchenko. "My brother, Alex, is a masters of nuclear engineering student and recently had his publications chosen for the cover of the Journal of Chemical Physics. I told him, 'Now I can be a cover-girl just like you.'"

Isabelle is a Singapore artist. After having moved around South East Asia for two decades, currently she lives and paints full time in Hong Kong.
She is a Signature Member of Pastel Society of America and some recognized art societies in Europe and U.S.A.. Watercolor is another medium she always enjoy working with.
In 2010, the International Association of Pastel Society ( I A P S ) has juried her works as one of the 37 paintings shown at the Butler Museum and to be included in the 17th IAPS Juried Web Show. The Pastel Society of America juried her work into their 38th & 39th Annual Pastel Only Show at the National Arts Club, New York City in 2010 & 2011.
Her painting, Hong Kong Residents #18 won the Award of Merit Pastel Society of America at the 17th Degas Pastel Society Show 2011 in Louisianna, U.S.A. ; Hong Kong Residents #10 was awarded the Finalist Outstanding Pastel at the Bold Brush Painting Competition hosted by Fine Art Studio Online in October 2010. A Journey West #2 was awarded the Joyce Kelly Memorial Purchase Award at the 12th Biennial National Show in 2008 hosted by Degas Pastel Society. In 2011, Isabelle has her work images featured in 4 publications : Les Maitres du Pastel 2011 ( Pratique des Arts ); Best of Worldwide Charcoal, Pastel and Pencils Vol II ( Kennedy Publishings ); Singapore Pastel Artists ( National Library Board Singapore ) and Arts Charity June issue ( Arts Charity Foundation Taiwan ).
The diverse subjects she chooses to paint are based largely on Asian art and culture. She believes painting is all about colors and that is what Asian cultures speak. She is particularly intrigued by the costumes, head-dress and especially hand embroidered shoes worn by Chinese women and children. She see these costumes are artwork in themselves. These folk subjects have driven her to develop a few painting series. The tiny shoes are delicately rendered in both soft pastel and watercolor in the series titled 'Journey' and for her, these little shoes continued to be a compelling topic. Her inspiration to paint the portraits of Chinese and Asian ladies derived from the numerous trips made around China and Asia.
The recent paintings are series of gold fish in plastic bags and ceramic wares where she drew inspiration from the busy environment in Hong Kong.
Primarily, a self-taught in drawing and painting, she enrolled her art education through Open College of the Art, a fine art correspondence institution based in United Kingdom under the tutelage of Edward Phelps. She received the residency fellowship at Vermont Studio Center, U.S.A. in 2001 & 2008 and attended other intensive courses and workshop in U.K., France, Australia and Indonesia.

A casual glance at the full moon reveals signs of ancient violence. Nearside, the lunar hemisphere we can see from Earth, is marked by gray areas set against white. Some are noticeably circular. The Apollo expeditions revealed that these relatively smooth basalt plains are scars left by large asteroids that pummeled the moon between 3.85 and 3.95 billion years ago.
An Earth-based observer cannot view the largest and oldest giant impact basin because it is out of view on the moon's hidden Farside. South Pole-Aitken (SPA) Basin is about 2500 kilometers wide, making it perhaps the largest impact scar in the Solar System. Lunar Orbiter data revealed its existence in the 1960s, though little was known of it until the 1990s, when the U.S. Clementine and Lunar Prospector polar orbiters mapped surface chemistry over the moon's entire surface. Their data showed that the basin floor probably includes material excavated from the moon's lower crust and upper mantle. In the first decade of the 21st century, laser altimeters on the U.S. Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) and Japanese Kaguya spacecraft confirmed that SPA includes the lowest places on the moon.
Michael Duke, a retired NASA geologist with the Colorado School of Mines, participated in both Apollo Era and 1990s lunar exploration. In 1999, Duke led a team that proposed a robotic SPA sample-return mission for NASA's low-cost Discovery Program. To fit under Discovery's $300-million-per-mission cost cap, Duke's team had proposed "the simplest-possible mission" - a single lander with no sample-collecting rover, a lunar-surface stay-time of just 24 hours, and a low-capability lunar-orbiting radio-relay satellite (needed because Farside is out of radio line-of-sight with Earth). Believing that these limitations added up to a high risk of mission failure, NASA rejected the 1999 proposal.
In 2002, however, the National Research Council's planetary science Decadal Survey declared SPA sample return to be a scientific priority and, at the same time, proposed a new class of competitively selected medium-cost missions. The latter marked the genesis of NASA's New Frontiers Program, which had a cost cap per mission of $700 million. Duke's team immediately began to upgrade its SPA proposal for New Frontiers.
In October 2002, Duke described the new SPA mission design at the 53rd International Astronautical Federation Congress (the Second World Space Congress) in Houston, Texas. To avoid helping competing New Frontiers proposers, his paper provided only limited technical details.
Duke argued that the SPA sample-return mission could collect ancient deep crust and mantle rocks without a costly rover. Clementine and Lunar Prospector had shown that at least half of the surface material in the central part of SPA was native to the basin, so stood a good chance of having originated from deep within the moon.
Furthermore, Apollo had demonstrated that any lunar site is likely to yield a wide assortment of samples because the moon's low gravity and surface vacuum enable asteroid impacts to widely scatter rock fragments. The Apollo 11 mission to Mare Tranquillitatis, for example, found and returned to Earth rocks blasted from the moon's Highlands. Duke proposed that the SPA sample-return lander sift about 100 kilograms of lunar dirt to gather a one-kilogram sample consisting of thousands of small rock fragments. These would have many origins, but a large percentage would be likely to have originated in the moon's deep crust and mantle.
NASA had rejected the SPA Discovery mission in part out of concern for lander safety. Duke noted that, with New Frontiers' $700-million cost cap, the SPA sample-return mission could include two landers. This would provide a backup in case one crashed. He pointed out, however, that automated Surveyor spacecraft of the 1960s had found the moon to be a relatively easy place on which to land even without the benefits of 21st-century hazard-avoidance technology. Two landers would also increase the already good chance that the mission could collect samples representative of the basin's earliest history.
A $700-million budget would also enable a relay satellite "more competent" than its bare-bones Discovery predecessor. It might be placed in a halo orbit around the Earth-moon L2 point, 64,500 kilometers behind the moon as viewed from Earth. From that position, the satellite would permit continuous radio contact between Earth and the landers. A satellite in lunar orbit could remain in line-of-sight contact with both the landers and Earth for only brief periods.
NASA had argued that a single day on the moon provided too little time to modify the SPA Discovery mission if it suffered difficulties. The SPA New Frontiers mission would, therefore, remain on the moon for longer. Duke noted, however, that stay-time would probably be limited to the length of the lunar daylight period (14 Earth days) because designing the twin landers to withstand the frigid lunar night would boost their cost.
In February 2004, Duke's mission - catchily named Moonrise - became one of two SPA sample-return missions proposed for New Frontiers. In July 2004, NASA awarded Moonrise and a Jupiter polar orbiter called Juno $1.2 million each for additional study. In May 2005, the space agency selected Juno for full development. In May 2011, after another New Frontiers proposal cycle, NASA rejected Moonrise and the VISE Venus lander in favor of an asteroid sample-return mission called OSIRIS-REx.

This is Olivia, my little girl. She's turning four next week--where does the time go??? She loves to help me when I'm working in my studio, and yesterday while her older brother was in school, she set out to design a pink castle quilt with some of my scraps.
As you can see, she took her design challenge very seriously.
She rearranged some squares, making sure every piece of fabric was in the right place.
And in the end, she was pretty happy with her own work. And I couldn't be more proud.

The Baltimore sports scene is blessed with a bunch of talented bloggers who bring their unique perspective to the conversation. Each week, I hope to chat with one of them in a regular feature called Blogger on Blogger. This week, I exchanged emails with Dan Bryden, who blogs about the Ravens for Baltimore Sports and Life.
MV: The Ravens overhauled their front seven in the offseason and there could be as many as five new starters there this season. How do you see them utilizing the newcomers and do you anticipate any schematic changes?
DB: As we all know, Dean Pees will move players around to many spots with various responsibilities. But the new guys I see making an immediate impact are Chris Canty, Arthur Brown and Elvis Dumervil. At a towering 6 feet 7, Chris Canty showed the ability to penetrate as an interior pass rusher as well as maintain gap integrity in the lateral run game. Many are high on Arthur Brown and, although expectations should be tempered based on his youth and offseason injuries, I see Brown as a welcome addition in many ways. His fit at the weakside linebacker spot is ideal because he can accentuate his ability to sift through the "trash" and scrape to make tackles on lateral runs while minimizing head-on impacts, which were a weakness of his. I don't expect a sack-per-game year from Dumervil, but provided Pees' scheme can reduce his run-down snaps, he fits extremely well as a rush specialist away from the offensive strength.
MV: What about linebacker Daryl Smith in particular? He flew under the radar for many years in Jacksonville. If he is healthy, what are your expectations for him?
DB: Daryl Smith has quietly had a very productive career as a Jaguar. Smith played each linebacker spot in their 4-3, but his home position was on the strong side. I think he was miscast in this role, as he often used every bit of strength and positioning he could muster just to stalemate bigger lineman and fullbacks in the run game. Smith does his best work when protected from bigger bodies (i.e. ILB in the standard 3-4 or weakside in a 4-3). What concerns me most about Smith is his cover skills. Entering his 10th year, he still has impressive straight-line speed to stick with tight ends up the seam, but his hips no longer have the flexibility to change direction, especially in the horizontal plane. I expect to see the Ravens run more of a traditional 3-4 this year allowing the D-line to eat up space and keep the larger blockers away from the smallish linebackers Smith and Brown.
MV: Matt Elam was all over the place -- in a good way -- during the mandatory minicamp a couple of weeks ago. Having watched him in college, what do you expect his role will be and how will he mesh with Michael Huff?
DB: Elam's versatility was likely a huge selling point for Ozzie and Co. during the draft. Elam played all over Florida's secondary, including slot corner, deep half safety, single-high safety, and outside corner. That said, I think Huff is the biggest free agency addition this offseason, and I can see him and Elam playing off each other in many unpredictable ways. I expect Elam to play near the line of scrimmage more often as an outside run support guy or QB Spy/Robber. Any mistakes that Elam makes due to his attacking nature can be covered up by Huff's above-average range on the back end. Elam and Huff are an improvement over Pollard and Reed in my eyes, but Pees won't need to revamp his strategy. Huff and Elam will fit very well into a scheme that leans on Cover-4, Cover-3, and disguised outside blitzes. My biggest concern about Elam (besides his hyper-aggressiveness) is covering tight ends or taller wide receivers. The scheme can only hide the fact that he is 5-10 for so long.
MV: The Ravens cut All-Pro fullback Vonta Leach two weeks ago, leaving Kyle Juszczyk as the only fullback on the team, though there are questions about his ability to be a lead blocker. How might the Ravens adapt without Leach?
DB: I doubt anyone would be surprised if the Ravens played with traditional two-back sets far less this coming season. Although Juszczyk only gives up about 10 pounds to Leach, I see him being used as less of a fullback and more like a "move" tight-end or H-back. I assume he will catch a lot of passes in the flat and will be the receiver on back-side screens, similar to Leach. Ultimately, I think the collective question marks surrounding his usage are exactly what the Ravens want, especially since Flacco now has more personal control; the offense can call plays in response to the defense. Against smaller personnel, Juszczyk can crack-block defensive ends or work across the formation to blindside or "wham" an unblocked defensive lineman. If the defense assigns a thumping linebacker to him, he is elusive enough to outrun him in space.
MV: Outside of letting go of Leach and Anquan Boldin, most of the key contributors on offense remain in Baltimore. Do you think the offense will be very similar to last season, or will it continue to evolve under Jim Caldwell?
DB: Caldwell's offense only showed subtle changes from Cameron's given a small sample size. A few of these changes included more combination routes (particularly in the deep game) and designed routes for Ray Rice to allow him to catch the ball in stride against mismatched linebackers. Losing Boldin will have a huge impact on the way the offense runs this coming year. There is no true replacement on this roster, so players with other strengths will fill that void. Players like Ed Dickson will be a bigger part of the offense after having to watch from the bench for much of last season. Dickson does not block particularly well for a tight end, but his route running and rapport with Flacco will be an asset, especially when Flacco begins to scramble. There has been talk of keeping Jacoby Jones from extensive offensive time due to his explosiveness on special teams. I, for one, am against this strategy and think he can fill a much bigger need as another deep threat in the passing game.

In addition to the amicus brief in Smith v. Obama, a few weeks earlier I had filed another one on behalf of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers in Jewel v. NSA, another case challenging the NSA's telecommunications surveillance.
Unlike Smith v. Obama and other similar cases, which argued that even collecting "just" telephonic metadata violated the Fourth Amendment, in Jewel the surveillance involved the collection of communications in their entirety. It didn't just catch the identifying characteristics of these communications; it captured their entire substance.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation originally filed this case in 2008 following the revelations of whistleblower Mark Klein, a former tech at AT&T, that a switch installed in a secret room at AT&T's facilities were diverting copies all the Internet traffic passing through their systems to the government. This, the EFF argued in a motion for summary judgment, amounted to the kind of "search and seizure" barred by the Fourth Amendment without a warrant.
Like in Smith v. Obama, this surveillance necessarily implicates the Sixth Amendment in how it violates the privacy of communications between lawyers and their clients. But because the surveillance involves the collection of the content of these communications it also inherently violates the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination as well.

text: We are deeply saddened to report that Maya's calf died unexpectedly yesterday. At this time, we don't know the cause. The 2-month-old male calf appeared strong and was being cared for and nursed by his mother Maya. A necropsy will be performed, and we should know more in the weeks to come. Volunteers and trainers have worked nonstop for months, observing the calves around the clock to record information including respiration rates, nursing frequency, and other milestones. Dolphin calves are extremely fragile and have a high mortality rate; 33% of calves born in any setting (both oceans and aquariums) don't survive their first year of life. Despite being aware of the statistics, this sudden loss is a difficult one for all of us who work tirelessly to provide our animals with the absolute best care. Please keep our dolphin trainers, veterinarians, and volunteers in your thoughts. Expressions of condolence can be sent to email@example.com. Categories: News Previous Post Next Post

Payment Information
The billing statement you receive is a statement of your current charges: tuition, fees, room and board, and all other charges. You must pay in full by the posted semester deadline unless you have an authorized deferred payment granted by the Office of Student Financial Services prior to the posted deadline. Please pay by the due date to avoid late fees of up to $200 per semester, assessed in increments of $50 per month.
How to make a payment:
- Personal Check, Money Order, Bank Check or Cash

Attention: Office of Student Financial Services
- Make checks and money orders payable to Felician University. Please include your name and student ID number on the front of the check for proper posting to your student account.

If the check is returned for insufficient funds a second time, you must pay with a certified check, money order, cash or credit card upon notification of the check being returned for insufficient funds.
- Credit Card

- Save time and pay online! Web payment instructions are mailed with your bill each semester and can also be obtained by contacting the Office of Student Financial Services. Payments are posted to your student account in real-time and can potentially save valuable time during peak registration and payment periods. See below for additional web payment details.
- Wire Transfer
- Make a payment via wire transfer to the University's bank account. Please be aware that your financial institution may reduce your outgoing wire transfer by fees they charge. These fees are the responsibility of the student and should not reduce payment to the University. Please contact the Office of Student Financial Services for account information. You must provide all required information to complete the transfer. Incomplete information can lead to the delay of your payment being processed and posted to your student account. Include your name and student ID number, and contact the Office of Student Financial Services to inform us when your wire transfer is transmitted to insure proper crediting of your student account.
- Web Payment
- Make a payment through the Felician University web site using your student log-in information. The payment portion of the web site can be found in the student menu of WebAdvisor, in the Financial Information section. Felician accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. You can also make a payment by electronic check for $1.95 per transaction. You need your checking account number and routing number to complete the transaction. Enter the proper information and have available funds when making an electronic check transaction – there is a $50 charge for returned electronic checks.

Authorized Deferred Payment Plan
You must pay your bill by the posted semester deadline or have established an authorized deferred payment prior to the posted deadline. Felician University has partnered with Tuition Management Systems (TMS) to provide a deferred, interest-free, monthly payment plan that can be used to pay all or part of your outstanding balance. The payment plan can be used to supplement your financial aid. Please be aware of the terms of the monthly payment plan:
- Only students in traditional undergraduate or graduate programs are allowed to participate. Students enrolled in non-traditional programs are not eligible to participate.
- TMS offers 5-month Fall Only and 5-month Spring Only plans that require a $55 non-refundable enrollment fee. First payments for the Fall Only plans are due by July 1. First payments for the Spring Only plan are due by December 1. Late enrollment past these dates may require students to make larger first payments to make up for missed monthly installments.
- Students are required to provide an accurate balance due to TMS at the time of enrollment. TMS will not provide you with a budget amount. Improper budgeting can lead to a balance due to the University and a hold flag being placed on the student account, preventing future registration and transcript/diploma release.
- Past due balances may not be included as part of the payment plan. These balances must be paid in full to the University prior to enrolling in a plan.
- Students are required to re-enroll in TMS each year/semester. Enrolling in a payment plan does not mean you are enrolled for the following academic year. It is important that you check your new balance due for the new academic year at the time of enrollment to insure proper payment.
- A late fee of $45 will be assessed for each late payment made. If two consecutive payments are missed and your account is not made current with your next payment, your payment plan will be canceled by TMS. Payment in full is required directly to Felician University at the time of cancelation. Cancelation from the payment plan will render the student ineligible to use TMS in the future.
- Payments made to TMS on the first of the month will not be reflected on the Felician University student account until approximately the 28th of the month.
- You are encouraged to periodically check your Felician balance and compare it to your budgeted payment plan amount. Any adjustments to the plan can be requested directly with TMS, which will then require approval from the University.
- Questions can be directed to TMS at 1.800.722.4867 or to the Office of Student Financial Services at 201.559.6045. Brochures are available at the Office of Student Financial Services upon request.
Employer Sponsored Tuition Assistance Programs
If your employer is providing payment for your tuition/fees then you must present written documentation on company letterhead to the Office of Student Financial Services before the posted semester payment deadlines. This documentation must contain the student's name, the semester of payment, and terms of the agreement. If there are tuition/fees that are not covered by the agreement, you must pay these charges in full by posted semester deadlines. Felician will not honor agreements that delay payment, stipulate grades must be received before payment is made, or payments made directly to the student. Payments must be made directly to Felician in a timely manner.
Student Refund Policy
Students are entitled to a refund of excess financial aid. Financial aid refunds will be issued after the Office of Student Financial Services has confirmed the student's aid eligibility, enrollment in class, and the aid has been credited to the student account.
Credit balances created with Title IV funds will be refunded to the student no later than 14 days after the balance occurred on the student account, unless a student has completed a Title IV authorization to hold the funds on account for the remainder of the academic year. If the University determines that Parent Plus Loan funds created the credit balance, the University will pay the credit balance directly to the parent borrower unless a Title IV Authorization Form has been signed by the parent authorizing reimbursement to the student.
All checks will be mailed to the address on file with the University, unless authorization from the Office of Student Financial Services has been granted for in-person pick up. Checks held at the Office of Student Accounts will be available for pick up no longer than two weeks. Checks not picked up within two weeks of the date the check was issued will be mailed to the address on file with the University.
Credit balances that are created by Title IV funds and are refunded via check must be cashed within 210 days. Uncashed refund checks after the 210 day window will be voided and the resulting credit balance will be returned to the source of the credit.
New Jersey Unclaimed Property
The New Jersey Unclaimed Property Statue requires the University to remit any unclaimed accounts receivable credit balances or uncashed student refund checks for New Jersey resident to the Department of the Treasury within three years. This remittance is due no later than November 1 of each year. Residents from states other than New Jersey are subject to the unclaimed property legislation of the state in which they reside.
The University will provide written notice via certified mail to students with unclaimed property prior to remitting these funds to the state of New Jersey. This notice, sent two to three months prior to November, will give the student the opportunity to request payment of these funds.
Financial Aid
All students are required to pay their outstanding balance due and/or have evidence of authorized financial aid.
The University reserves the right to change any of the above policies when, in the judgment of the administration, it becomes necessary to do so.
Tax Information
1098-T Tax Forms
The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 requires that all educational institutions provide U.S. citizens or permanent residents with a tax form detailing qualifying tuition and related expenses for the calendar year. This form is referred to as Form 1098-T. Educational institutions are not required to provide forms to non-resident aliens. As a result, you may not receive a form if you are a non-resident alien.
Form 1098-T will be available in the Financial Information section on WebAdvisor no later than January 31 of each year. You must access and print Form 1098-T through Web Advisor as it is not sent via mail. Please keep important information such as address and social security number up-to-date with the Registrar's Office, as this information is submitted to the IRS and insures proper mailing of the form..
Below are descriptions of certain information contained in Form 1098-T that will assist you in better understanding the form:
Box 2 – Total amount billed for qualified tuition and related expenses less any reductions in charges. This amount includes tuition, comprehensive fees, and course fees. Non-qualifying expenses are medical insurance fees, fines and miscellaneous charges, and room/board charges.
Box 5 – Total amount of any scholarships or grants that were administered and processed during the calendar year for the payment of the student's costs of attendance.
Box 7 – Amounts billed for qualified tuition and related expenses, reported on the current year's form, but are related to an academic period that begins in January through March of the following year.
Box 8 – If checked, the student was at least a half-time student during any academic period. A half-time student is a student enrolled for at least half the full-time academic workload for the course of study the student is pursuing.
Box 9 – If checked, the student was a graduate student. The student is a graduate student if the student was enrolled in a program or programs leading to a graduate-level degree, graduate-level certificate, or other recognized graduate-level educational credential.
For additional information and instructions on Form 1098-T, please see IRS Publication 970 or visit IRS.gov.
Form 1042-S
Form 1042-S reports calendar-year income earned by non-resident aliens. For U.S. tax purposes, all University non-tuition scholarships that are subject to withholding will be reported, even if no amount is deducted or withheld due to an income tax treaty at the time of filing.
Those students who are subject to a withholding (residents of a non-treaty country), will be assessed a non-resident alien tax each semester. The amount assessed is based on the current tax rate (14%) of the scholarship award for that semester.
Federal guidelines require the University to file Form 1042-S to the recipient no later than March 15 of each year. Active students will be sent Form 1042-S to the current local address on file with the University, while former students will receive the form at the most current foreign address on file.
Payment Policies
If you do not pay your account balance or do not arrange for an authorized deferred payment plan by the due date, a hold flag is placed on your account. This hold prevents registration, check-in to the University's residence halls, and receipt of an official transcript and/or diploma. If you are partially registered or are planning a registration change, payment for the existing registration must still be made by the posted deadlines. Any additional registration made after the deadline must be paid for on the date of the adjustment.
If you do not pay your account balance or do not arrange for an authorized deferred payment plan by the due date, you will be subject to a $200 late fee and/or deregistration and removal from housing. If you are deregistered, roster spots in the previous registration cannot be guaranteed. Registrations submitted after the posted deadline must be paid in full at the time of registration. Failure to make payment in full may result in a late fee or deregistration.
Tuition and fee rates, payment policies, tuition refund policies, payment due dates and tuition hold policies are determined by the Office of Student Financial Services and may differ depending on the individual traditional or non-traditional program. Information obtained from any other area of the University regarding these issues is not binding. Please contact the Office of Student Financial Services for policy information and tuition and fee rates for your specific program.
If you are unable to, or choose not to attend Felician you must officially withdraw from your course(s). Follow the posted withdrawal refund deadlines. Withdrawals after the Drop/Add period (last day for 100% refund) will result in the student being liable for all or part of their charges. Please see the Registration Policies and Procedures portion of the Undergraduate/Graduate Catalogs for procedures on withdrawals.
Room and board must be paid along with tuition and fees by the posted payment deadlines in order for students to be eligible to check-in to the University's residence halls. Board may not be waived for any student. If you choose to withdraw from housing, you must contact the Office of Residence Life and fill out the necessary forms for withdrawal to be valid. Room and board refunds are calculated according to the date the withdrawal form is received by the Residence Life, not by the last date of residency. Refund percentages are calculated using the same formula/dates as tuition and fees. If you withdraw from housing or are terminated and have used your meal card, you will be held responsible for any meal monies used.
If you have a delinquent account balance, you will be notified by the Office of Student Financial Services Collection Department. Payment must be made immediately upon receipt of this notification. You will first have the opportunity to make payment directly to the University. If you do not respond to our attempts to collect your balance, your account will be referred to an outside collection agency. Should this occur, credit bureaus will be notified and you will be responsible for the outstanding balance plus all collection fees and legal fees. At this point you will no longer be able to make payment directly to Felician – you will be required to interact directly with the collection agency. All grades, transcripts, and diplomas are withheld until you have satisfied your balance in full and all funds have cleared.

What to monitor first?The system load is a measure of the amount of work that a computer system performs. You can use this command to read system load:
uptimeHere is a sample output:
... load average: 1.07, 1.63, 2.81The three values of load average refer to the past 1, 5, and 15 minutes of system operation. These numbers should be read this way: the number represents how well a single CPU can handle load, thus if the number is 1 or less - it is pretty comfortable (the 4-CPU system works well at load number 4 or less); 1.5 - means at least 50% of load is not handled on time, it is queued for processing and is a subject for attention.
System MonitoringReal time monitoring can be observed with top and htop commands. Command htop gives you more convenient way of what top does. Particularly it is handy to add two more columns (via 'F2' Setup) related to IO read and IO write.
htopProcessors related statistics with mpstat:
watch -n 1 mpstat
Disk MonitoringIO can be a one of possible bottleneck of system performance degradation. The tool iotop tracks disk I/O by process, and prints a summary report that is refreshed every second.
iotopStatistic for IO devices and partitions can be monitored with iostat:
watch -n 1 iostat
Who is waiting and blocked?It is useful to know how the system load goes across processes, however most interest is related to processes that keep waiting for the operation to complete, thus cause delays. Here is a simple command to get this kind of report every second:
watch -n 1 "(ps aux | awk '\$8 ~ /D/ { print \$0 }')"
Network MonitoringIntensive network related operation can cause the high load as well. Here is a tool that let you have a better idea of your network traffic utilization - iftop:
