A major driver for this whole thread was a Sam Harris interview with... I want to say Jonathon Haidt but I cant remember the name. I've tried looking in My History but can't figure out which one it was. He did a paper very recently about race.
So this guy did a study comparing white and black Americans. He found that the former were, on average, a bit smarter. But was quick to point that there was more difference across whites/blacks than between them.
Harris was interviewing him because, after the release he got some backlash from those mean academics from Universities calling the paper racist.
One claim of racism was that this paper would be used BY racist for policies against non whites. Which to me sent alarm bells ringing. Sounds like this author heard the word racist and thought they were talking about him.
Of course, Harris with his own axe to grind, never questions it. He point out that these academics are just anti-Free Speech. You know, the normal 'criticism is actually anti-Free Speech' that gets trotted out way too much. He also claimed they were racial ideologues finding racism everywhere. Which is possible.
And then I couldn't figure out where I listened to it to check up on the facts. It took me a few days to process what happened. So I made this thread instead
Well that didn't happen at any point.
You're gonna have to point out this definition for me.
No one wants to really find out what the truth is though, certainly those defending racists and rapists don't anyways. I don't want to jail innocent people, but innocent until proven guilty has clearly been abused. I mean, why not 'We don't know if they are guilty so lets find out'?
But then, sometimes we do investigate and find out and put them in jail but people still claim they arent a Nazi and that they didnt murder that woman with their car.
Yeah...whatever you say man.
And how is that definition different from most people here? Or Saelune?
First page of this thread.
Well, those people are wrong.
"Innocent until proven guilty" is an important and valuable principle that must not be given up. No exception, not even for rape. But when the guilt is actually proven, then it simply stops to apply.
And investigating rape is fine. The problem with rape is that it is hard to prove, not that people are not interested in investigating it.
This particular kind of study object seems to be an all-time favourite in the US. We have nearly a century of "are whites smarter than blacks ?" - studies from America. It is like an obsession because America still can't let behind its slavery past and corresponing flimsy justifications.
But all this time racist groups picked up any result that seemed to reinforce their preconceptions and ran with it, ignoring all caveats and sampling problems.
So having yet another study seemingly finding black Americans dumber than white ones, most likely with the very same sampling flaws as the earlier ones would give rise to the suspicion that the author was racist and wanted to produce ammunition for White Power groups.
It is flat out untrue that people aren't not interested in investigating it. There are piles and piles of rape kits in the US that are thrown out because testing them isn't deemed important and they are taking up valuable storage space. To the extent that private charities have been formed to get some of the backlog tested.
I'll say that again, investigating rape in the US is such a low priority that private charities have to fund testing of rape kits, because the state won't.
Additionally, there's always plenty of people actively opposed to investigating rapes, for any number of reasons.
Maybe the US is just a shitty country then.
Yeah no, you weren't using that definition. People called racist I found usually actually are.
Yes those people are wrong, but there are too many of them.
It is more that they are interested in NOT investigating rape, such as in Brett Kavanaugh and Donald Trump's cases. Still havent actually investigated either.
It is certainly way shittier than a lot of people want to admit, and way shittier than it should be.
The thing is the misappropriation of words and symbols; I.e (insert any group) is usually for lack of understanding. So if you have a person called a Sexist, Nazi ,SJW etc, the notion of what those titles curtail is based more upon self opinions. Facts be dammed, people will loosely apply titles, slurs and symbols to anyone or thing. It is easier for an individual to latch on black and white concepts of something then the details of reality. It's why in advertisement words like "Quality, Best Seller, Now, and New" are used a lot. People like things simple, the same with terms of slurs and symbols. Sadly it just never changes ...(sigh)
Yup. It gets even worse than not testing the rape Kits, they actually encourage rape victims not to report it, and threaten them instead. They actively interfered and prevented investigation from taking place.
Under his definition, not giving black patients the same amount of pain medicine as other patients is not racist because they were not doing so " willfully with the intent to harm" but were doing so because they unconsciously thought they were in less pain due to bias's they were unaware they had. Actual racism is both however, regardless of if you are aware of it. Cutting off half the definition and wanting to apply only part of it does not suddenly make it not racism. People have been known to think all sorts of absurd things about other races, and yes that is all a part of it, and is often the underlying basis for the expansion of that into hatred and actively trying to harm other races due to the ignorant nonsense they had already convinced themselves of about other races to begin with.
I concur. This is my opinion of his interpretation of his definition of racism. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they would say that not giving the same amount of medication is character building. Thus it's beneficial
But I want to hear it from the horse's mouth. I don't like people not being able to defend themselves.
The big issue with racism is that its not logical. Neither are most of the big predgidis
n one hand its the feeling of being superior, Genetically, socially, financially, religion, science, or societal progression. We hae used all manner of words to describe this.
Even if you take something controversial as race, ethnicity, gender, orientation, gender identity, and so on, humans will find something else just as if not more stupid.
How many arguments have sprung up over Kirk and Picard or DC and Marvel? How many barfights started because of rival sports fandoms?
As much as parents used to rally against video game violence back in the day, how many of those same parents would try to pick a fight with a coach or even the children on the Peewee game their kids were playing against?
Hell, I am old enough to remember when the console wars were a thing.
So how to fix this?
I am not saying I'm an expert, but education is a good start. Part of it is ignorance, and part of it is just things that have been drilled into people's skulls sine they were little for as long as anyone could remember. So taking this out and adding in something for the lack of a better word, HEALTHY, and we can improve something.
Send, there needs to be an end of this us or them. Martin Luther King didn't die fighting for equality for nothing, and his vision has far from died with him. Its dimmed slightly, but a new generation to act as a bulb and we can stand together illuminating a solution. We are a light on a hill that cannot be covered up. And I am out of metaphors here.
Third, this is going to take time. Its had hundreds of years to grow and fester, and just because its a tumor that can be cut away does not mean its not going to A. Cut a large chunk out of you, and B. leave a scar. We are getting better at this, but this is probably going to be our grand kids or great grand kids generation that finaly becomes free of it. We just have to do the work for them to get it to that point.
I would agree to all this. By the sounds of things, at least one author was very conscious of the result and was trying to write the result in a particular way. Unfortunately, any result will be politically used against minorities. Imagine if the result was reversed. There would then be an outcry against blacks getting too much money from the government, or getting advantages from schools/university they don't deserve.
Let's do an analysis on this study another way. Let's presume that the study is right, and it all comes down to genetics. What does that mean for policies in the US? It should mean nothing. Currently it's being used as a wedge to destroy Affirmative Action. "Clearly Asians are way smarter than African Americans. Why aren't their percentages of attendance higher?" Is the current thought. And it's strange. Asian are also allegedly smarter than whites, so why is African Americans being picked on? Affirmative Action could be called pro- African American and Asian at the same time. Getting rid of Affirmative Action will increase the rate of attendance of white people. Only. Asian attendance should decrease if Affirmative Action goes.
"Pull yourself up by your bootstraps" is a common term used by white peoples who have no understanding that they never pulled themselves up by themselves. They had help along the way that they don't recognise. And they expect everyone else to do it alone, which is the opposite of how Capitalism works. And I can understand being frustrated over government intervention, becuaee I understand it's dangers. But that's not the only help people get. Being connected to powerful people is a far greater advantage than any governmental intervention. And that's why Affirmative Action exists, to connect minorities to majorities. Not split them
Racist is a word that implies motivation. It says that someone is acting a certain way because of race.
You can not point at something being "racist" without expressly attributing motivation, and therefor calling someone a racist with the same action. Racism is defined by its motivation and actions themselves do not have any.
It is not an interaction between two different races, but one shaped by how someone views those races. This can be positive or negative even, but that motivation behind their behavior and actions is what defines if it is racism or not.
It is almost always used to describe an action by the motivation behind it that is justified by the action itself. The white guy hit the black guy because he is racist. And he is racist because he is a white guy who hit a black guy. It assigns a motivation, even if that motivation is not actually correct, and largely serve no purpose to a discussion outside of how it creates sides, and how it is used as bludgeon to kill off conversation by attacking the character of other people disagreeing.
This is often used to intentionally disparage someone, to shut down discussion, or to just simplify something into far simplier "black and white" political positions. But all of that is bad for conversation and discussion.
Because of the cancerous nature of the current use of the word to any sort of discussion, I can fully understand why people would respond to the use of it so negatively. Because it very rarely is meant to be used in one in good faith to begin with.
Racism is treating someone differently because of race. Too many pretend that it is treating someone of a different race different when the reason for that is not race (the problem of correlation, not causation and such), and then attribute the term based on that.
Now, that itself being poison to a discussion for being bad in bad faith is problem enough. But with terms like "racist" it is worse, as they carry stigma on them that can cause actual harm. People get fired for being called that. People get attacked. And some people know that and intentionally hope it happens.
As for why this shuts down discussions itself, I think that is a misidentified symptom. The word doesn't shut down discussions itself, it is just used by those who wish to do so, and arguments start because of that. Much like the word itself, motivation is the most important aspect.
What?...No seriously, what?
Actions do not have motivation? What? That is just absurd. The saying 'Actions speak louder than words' exists for a reason.
He never said actions do not have motivation, but in order for an act to be racist, it requires a racist motivation.
Take a situation where someone gets up in my face in an aggressive manner over some form of slight. I respond to the aggression with aggression and punch them.
The present narrative is that if I punched someone of the same ethnicity as myself then it's me punching a person. If I punch someone of a different ethnicity to myself it's me punching an ethnicity and I'm a racist for doing so.
Someone could lay off 50 staff members at their job, and if they all happened to be of African or South American origins that person could be labelled as racist for doing so - but what if all those staff were in a particular department the company no longer wished to support? They were not targeting people due to their ethnicity, but to their position in the business. Of course the headline would be "CEO fires over 50 black/latino workers" rather than "CEO shuts down courier wing of company".
If not for runic knight's political history, I might accept that, but he regularly defends that white supremacists are not ya know, racist pieces of garbage, and even when their actions are clearly racist, he often argues otherwise.
Yeah but my question in that scenario would be "Why have you put all your black/latino workers into the one apparently quite disposable department?"
Because these individuals are hard workers, suited to the hustle and bustle of such an occupation, and were the best suited candidates to the role. Unfortunately, the economies of scale are no longer in favour of the company supporting such a branch, when there are dedicated courier companies that we can partner with instead.
Sounds more like profiling to me
Be that as it may, he never said that actions do not have motivation. Rather, he was arguing that the motivation of an action is what would ultimately make it racist or not. I agree with this, for if there is no racist motivation, the ethnicity of the people being affected is merely unfortunate circumstance than targeted.
Might sound like it, but it doesn't mean it was. Every single courier that works for my company is non-White. They were not hired because they were not white, they were hired because they had the drive and work ethic better than the other candidates.
Did the recruiting manager decide to only hire people into that position because they viewed those ethnicities as more easily disposable? Only the person's intent can truly reveal that. Perhaps the hiring manager did profile them, believing that people of that ethnicity are usually hard up for money, and will work harder when paid appropriately when compared to other ethnicities. They also likely had no idea that corporate was going to scrap the entire division and are probably upset that all their work has now gone up in flames.
But we feel far more catharsis by just calling corporate, or the hiring manager, racists when trying to deal with the disappointment of those people losing their jobs.
Yeah thats still sounds like profiling. Like, really really sounds like some generic buzzwords have been used to disguise the fact that your recruiter seems to only want the non-white people doing the menial running around job
You're misunderstanding this. Affirmative Action isn't actually anti-white. The people who suggest it is are wrong, and there do even exist places where white men are the beneficiaries. Affirmative Action is being targeted as bad for Asians because it's pro-proportionality. The thinking of schools with regards to affirmative action is that if race isn't a factor in acceptance, then the population of the school should have the same demographic breakdown as the general population or perhaps the population of the people applying. The people at least claiming to represent Asian American students are arguing that they have better credentials than the average people applying, so that fact that they aren't represented proportionally higher means they are being segregated out.
Honestly, there isn't an easy answer as to the right way to do that. If you ignore race and go only by credentials, you will get more Asian and fewer Black students than you would if you were trying to have a perfectly racially diverse campus. Is it racist either way? I don't know, but it hardly matters with the Harvard law suit. Harvard is a top school, they're going to have a diverse pool of qualified applicants to choose from regardless.
There is nothing menial about couriers. It is actually quite an involved and difficult occupation. Requiring time management, being physically robust, navigational aptitude, customer service skills, and being able to drive and maneuver a heavy vehicle. They are generally paid very well for what is, essentially "unskilled" (does not require tertiary education) labour.
So... Slavery for African Americans was beneficial. Becuase someone else decided it was. The first thing to understand about anyone accused of... well anything, but including racist, is that they will find an excuse or just deny being racist. Same with a murderer, rapist or even innocent people. Denials of the accusation never do anything for me. You're just doing an instinctual response and thus has no real meaning for the situation. The South thought that they were benefitting African Americans but never let the 'victims' have a say. Some thing happened with the Black Lives Matter movement. African Americans assumed that they were victims again and a whole bunch of people decided they shouldn't have a voice. It never came down to whether the police were treating African Americans unfairly or not. It ended up being a political fight that, like most poictal fights, never discussed the issues.
I do listen to explanations of situations
You can determine a lot of motivations from the actions. Trump's actions show he is a bigot, for example.
You can infer a lot. I believe the Cheeto in Chief is bigoted, but I think most of it is driven by his desire to garner votes from a certain demographic.
It's either pandering or genuine, and I do not believe his decisions to be entirely Machiavellian that there is not some truth to his bigotry, but I do not think he is purely bigoted and is at least capable of using peoples prejudices against them. Trump is a bully, bizarrely oblivious, but also a practices manipulator. I think he's got a foot in all camps, but the perfect storm of his personality means he can not be 100% directed towards any extreme... unless the extreme is "Bad For America".
The only people Trump can con are people who want to be conned. No one with any sense whatsoever would ever fall for Trump's BS.
Ignorance is no excuse for ANYONE who supports Trump.
See what you've done there is just described menial work. Menial doesn't mean easy, it means its hard labour with little prestige attached to it. So you yourself describing it is hard work that gets classified as unskilled, well you've kind of demonstrated my point there haven't you?
But veering back to the "all of our couriers were non-white" thing, if you don't think it was profiling on behalf of your recruiter, what do you think the cause was? Because the entire staff of one department in an otherwise (I assume) mixed company being non-white is a hell of coincidence, so there must be a cause. Whats your explanation?
I already said earlier why they were chosen, they were profiled because the hiring manager found they perform better than other ethnicities in that job.
Time management does not mean "turn up to work on time" it means being able to prioritise tasks in a manner that saves time and allows a good work flow.
They are paid more. I do not see how this is making them seem menial as if it was menial they would not be offered more pay.
Yes, what you are stating is racial profiling. It also appears you may have a different understanding of " menial" than others do. Some examples of menial jobs here are :
These are all low tier menial jobs and to racially profile anyone for these jobs is terribly racist. They should be equally considered for employment in " white collar" jobs as well as CEO's, Physicians, lawyers, accountants, analysts, financial advisers ect. If they are lacking education to be able to participate equally in these fields, you increase access to resources to them to make education for these fields obtainable. Part of the problem is not that they are not "inclined" for this work, it is that they lack the proper support structures throughout their early development and childhood to be able to obtain the necessary skills for the work. If their parents and grandparents were restricted from such education and work, they lack the skills to instill this in their children and grandchildren. This can be supplemented by having resources made available to them in both their community and home environment during early development. This should be started from the time they take their infant home from the hospital, not waiting until after their brains are more fully formed as you can teach skills necessary for engineering while they are a toddler, not an adult. It is vital to have support throughout the entire time their brains are forming, not wait until they already have.
Education is not something that is limited to "school" it is what a child experiences throughout their entire life.

Giovanni on Conti Loafers - Men Giovanni Conti Loafers online on Giovanni Australia - 11519442AH 1a50e2/in Things to Do, See Jackson Hole, Jackson WY /by J Vigorito
Folks, this place is awesome! You're going to love it!
A two-and-a-half hour drive north of Jackson Hole will bring you to West Yellowstone, Montana, and the impressive Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center.
It's a not-for-profit wildlife park and education facility which opened in 1993. The Center is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

Areas of Specialization
Family Program
Research shows that the odds of successful, sustained recovery from addiction are far higher when family members and loved ones are involved in treatment. Drug and alcohol addiction often have genetic roots, whether related to substance abuse, mental illness or both. Family dynamics also play a role and, often, family members are the first to realize a loved one has developed an addiction. Also, it's important for family members to understand and embrace the lifestyle changes that are required to sustain recovery.
Medical Detoxification
Drugs and alcohol have widespread effects throughout your body, including but not limited to the addiction and/or physical/psychological dependence that develops with substance abuse over time. Many organ systems are affected by addiction and will react to withdrawal. The term "medical detoxification" means that there is a trained and licensed medical professional onsite to monitor your vital signs and protect your physical and emotional health as your body goes through withdrawal.

Stephen Deuchar, Director of the Art Fund, talks exclusively to HRreview on how and why short, regular art gallery visits can have a significant impact on worker wellbeing and productivity and on the Art Fund's work to date to help employers address the future of anxious Britain. Stephen has been Director of Art Fund since January 2010 and has led the organisation through a significant period of development and modernisation, Prior to joining Art Fund, Stephen was the first director of Tate Britain (from March 1998 to December 2009).
You have recently overseen a fascinating report about how visiting art galleries can massively improve workers' wellbeing. Why do you feel a re-examination of the relationship between mental health and art, specifically with regards to worker wellbeing, is so important at this point in time?
The real scale of the anxiety issue in the UK has only recently been uncovered and openly discussed. In relation to UK workers, an increasing number of employers are re-evaluating how workload, stress and anxiety relate to workplace performance and talent retention. The research we conducted for our Calm and Collected report was broader than just the benefits of art on wellbeing. We wanted to investigate how regularly engaging with museums and galleries could contribute to an individual's sense of wellbeing, and one focus in particular was how this related to UK workers. The primary take away was that a 30 minute daily allowance for a leisure activity would tangibly help manage the stresses of modern, working life – over half of workers say that having more 'me time' would help them perform better at their jobs
How highly would you rate anxiety as a problem in the British workplace?
We found that workplace stress and anxiety come from a variety of sources – 35 per cent of respondents said they felt overwhelmed by their workload and 26 per cent said they do not feel in control of their career. Responses to this stress range from skipping lunch to working well over 40 hours a week, and – one of the more striking findings from our research – just under a third of workers (31per cent) say they have left a job because of the stress it caused them. Health and Safety Executive (HSE) figures show that between 2017 and 2018, stress, depression and anxiety accounted for 15.4 million lost working days.
The report finds that over a quarter of workers feel guilty about taking time out for themselves. What steps can both employers and employees take to change this culture?
Each organisation should identify and implement the steps most appropriate to its own culture. Sixty-seven per cent of workers noted in our report that taking time for themselves is beneficial to their wellbeing, while others cited that leisure time helps them deal with work pressure and inspires them in their work.
Describe how 30 minutes a day can paint a brighter future for anxious Britain.
We worked with Paul Dolan, a professor of behavioral science at the London School of Economics and an expert on human behavior and happiness, and he advised a 'wellbeing allowance' of 30 minutes each day to be spent engaging in activities such as visiting a museum or gallery. And our research supports this – people who say they regularly visit museums and galleries report a greater sense of satisfaction with their lives than those who have never visited.
When did you decide to launch the corporate National Art Pass and how can it be used as a tangible employee benefit by businesses?
Art Fund launched the National Art Pass for Companies in 2016 following conversations with a wide range of businesses from various industries, understanding their need for a flexible cultural benefit for their employees. As opposed to offering a private view at a certain time slot or free tickets to a particular exhibition, the National Art Pass offers free entry to over 240 museum, galleries and historic homes around the UK, as well as 50 per cent off major exhibitions like the upcoming Christian Dior show at the V&A or Tate Liverpool's Keith Haring retrospective.
What is the strategy of improving the wellbeing of your staff at Art Fund?
We provide a range of benefits to our own staff at Art Fund. From an annual individual 'Art Allowance' for everyone to spend on something cultural that they otherwise wouldn't do (such going to an art class or covering travel to see an exhibition in another city) to a monthly 'Art Afternoon' where staff can take a half-day outside of their holiday allowance to go out and do something cultural – explore a museum collection, see an art exhibition or wander around a historic home. Coupled with the free National Art Pass we offer our staff, the options are almost endless as to what they might do.
Location is surely important. Do London workers have the most opportunities to nurture their wellbeing with art, compared to the rest or the UK? What are the opportunities outside the big UK cities?
We are never very far from art – according to the Mendoza Review, published by DCMS in 2017, 55 per cent of the English public live within walking distance of at least one museum. At Art Fund, we're very proud of the fact that 75 per cent of our National Art Pass network is outside of London, and our extensive network is one of the biggest draws for our corporate members who have offices throughout the country. With destinations like the Whitworth in Manchester or the Tate satellite galleries in Liverpool or St Ives, there are plenty of museums and galleries that are readily available for workers outside the capital. And they also have access to some fantastic other venues like Yorkshire Sculpture Park or the Holburne Museum in Bath.
You are a leading and extremely valued worker in the promotion of art in the UK. How has art improved your personal wellbeing and productivity over the years?
Great art can have transformative effect on your life, immersing you in worlds and ideas far beyond the every day. But museum visiting can also be simply fun and sociable, and I always work better when I find myself in a good mood!
What does the future hold for Art Fund, specifically with regards to workplace initiatives?
Our main focus regarding the National Art Pass for Companies is growing our toolkit and capacity for advising companies who offer the pass as a benefit to their employees and who want to implement a culture change within their organisation.
Is there anything else you might like to add?
Art Fund has always believed that art can help us see, think and feel differently. We know the varied pressures of modern life can contribute to a heightened sense of worry, stress and anxiety for many. More than ever people need places where they can relax, learn, contemplate and wonder. Since launching the National Art Pass for Companies three years ago, we now have over 25 businesses providing this benefit to their workers, with a range of options available in terms of how it is administered.

Speaking at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco the day Google announced it was pulling out of a proposed search advertising partnership, Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang says his company still wants to do a deal with Microsoft, and even went so far as to say that the best thing for Microsoft to do would be do buy Yahoo. But any offer Microsoft makes for the company now would be well below the $31 per share it offered back in February 2008…and Yang insists and sale of Yahoo will only happen at the right price.
At the same time, Yang noted that there are currently no new talks between Yahoo and Microsoft, whether in regard to selling all of Yahoo or just spinning off its search business. Yahoo shares surged yesterday on a rumor reporting Yahoo and Microsoft were already in advanced negotiations; Yahoo quickly denied the claims.
Yang declined to comment on reports that Yahoo is in serious discussions with Time Warner regarding an acquisition of the company's AOL online unit. Numerous sources and press reports, however, indicate discussions are still ongoing between the two companies.

I think so. pjsua_lib didn't maintain SSRC for subsequent media update. In fact I've had this on my to do list for loong time: http://www.pjsip.org/trac/ticket/14 (notice the ticket number!). But the good news is, finally it's been fixed. :) And coming back to the loss audio problem. If pjmedia (the RTP session) receives RTP packet with different SSRC, it will mark the packet as having "bad ssrc", but it shouldn't drop the packet. So I think the loss of audio shouldn't be caused by this. If you have any doubts on whether pjmedia may drop RTP packets for any reason, you'll find useful information at log level 4 or 5. regards, -benny > Regards, > Anshuman

China will operate more "Fuxing" bullet trains everyday as a new train diagram will be put into operation beginning April 10.
According to China Railway Corp, the national railway operator, China will begin carrying out the new train diagram with adjustments to routes, speeds and train numbers.
The diagram shows that eight pairs of "Fuxing" bullet trains traveling at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour will be added to the Beijing - Shanghai railway. The total number of "Fuxing" bullet trains running every day across the country will reach 114.5 pairs, linking 23 municipalities and provincial capitals.
The "Fuxing" train, also known as "Rejuvenation", is a new bullet train model mainly developed based on China"s railway standards and technologies, and aims to adapt to China"s environment and rail transport patterns.
The adoption of "Fuxing" trains in June has shortened the Beijing-Shanghai travel time to 4 hours and 24 minutes. After the new diagram is put into operation, the travel time between Beijing and Shanghai will be further reduced to 4 hours and 18 minutes. Travel time between Beijing and Hangzhou, and between Beijing and Hefei will be cut by 36 and 20 minutes respectively, according to China Railway Corp.
More express and large cargo freight trains, such as China Railway Express, a freight train between China and Europe, and freight trains to transport coal, will be added, too.
The trains are expected to transport an extra of 200 million metric tons of coal thanks to the enhancement of the transport capacity, according to the China Railway Corp.livestrong bracelet silicone wristbands cool wristbands festival wristbands charity bracelets

A wealth of marketing material, blogs and anecdotes claim that cannabis oils can cure whatever ails you, even cancer. But the limited research doesn't suggest that cannabis oil should take the place of conventional medication, except for in two very rare forms of epilepsy (and even then, it's recommended only as a last-resort treatment). And, experts caution that because cannabis oil and other cannabis-based products are not regulated or tested for safety by the government or any third-party agency, it's difficult for consumers to know exactly what they're getting.
One study found that placebos sometimes work even when the subject knows it's a placebo. Another, using that same public speaking setup that CBD studies have used, found that anxiety treatments are particularly susceptible to the placebo effect, with 40 percent of placebo-treated patients showing a decrease in anxiety symptoms while tasked with speaking to a crowd.
There have been no reports of anyone overdosing on cannabis. One of the unique properties of the chemical components of cannabis, including both hemp and marijuana, is that they don't cause respiratory or cardiac depression. This sets even recreational use of cannabis widely apart from narcotics and alcohol, both of which can cause severe respiratory depression and death at excessive doses. Excessive doses of hemp, and more especially, marijuana, may make you very agitated and feel terrible, but there are no known deaths from cannabis overdose.
Jan. 8, 2019 -- As the legalized cannabis industry in the United States grows with nearly every election, consumers interested in these products have more and more options. But they might also have more questions, given the different sources of the products, the difference in federal and state laws, and the difference between those that make you high and those that don't.
CBD edibles are foods and beverages infused with CBD for oral consumption, and they are immensely popular thanks to their delicious taste as well as their soothing effects. From CBD fruit rolls to CBD-infused coffee, CBD edibles include a wide array of shapes, dosages, and mouthwatering flavors. CBD edibles offer an easy and discreet way to never forget your daily dose of CBD. Besides their fun and fruity taste and appearance, Green Roads CBD Edibles offer all the benefits of CBD in a convenient 30-day supply so you'll never run out whether you need a short-term fix or long-term relief.
That lines up with one of the rare instances of FDA testing. In 2016, the FDA tested several "CBD oils," ultimately issuing warnings to eight companies. Some of those oils were found to contain no or barely any CBD, and many contained illegal quantities of THC. For example, Healthy Hemp Oil's "Herbal Renewals 25% CBD Hemp Oil Gold Label" contained 8.4 mg/g of THC. Sana Te Premium Oils, which sold 25 mg "CBD oil" capsules on Etsy, contained between 13 and 19 mg/g of THC and less than 0.1 mg/g of CBD.
Cannabidiol, or CBD for short, is a phyto-cannabinoid found in cannabis plants. However, it does not cause the same psychoactive effects as other naturally occurring cannabinoids (such as tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC). CBD induces feelings of sleepiness and tranquility, making it suitable for insomnia and other sleep disorders; CBD can be used to alleviate symptoms of epilepsy, diabetes, and anxiety disorders, as well. Legality is an issue for some; all 50 states have laws governing the sale, possession, and use of CBD, and they vary significantly (see the table below for a full analysis).
Oral consumption is recommended as it usually lasts the whole night. Always start with the micro dose to test sensitivity and go up as needed within the dosing range before going to the next, until symptoms subside. The micro to standard dose is usually recommended to treat insomnia and sleep apnea. When relaxing indica strains are used with higher THC levels, a dose of 5–10 mg is usually sufficient. Other people find they need larger doses, such as 15–40 mg. CBD taken as a tincture or edible will aid in a restful six to seven hours of sleep. This type of disorder varies widely from one patient to the next. Often, one needs to perform some experimental research and try strains of different CBD:THC ratios to figure out how CBD oil benefits their sleep and the best protocol.
There are thousands of unique varieties of hemp. The cultivars used for CBD oil contain significantly higher concentrations of CBD than others. Using these uniquely potent plants, it is possible to extract cannabis oil that contains significant levels of cannabidiol, as well as essential vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, terpenes, flavonoids, and other non-psychoactive cannabinoids.
While marijuana – including CBD (cannabidiol) oil products made from marijuana – must comply with seed-to-sale state laws that make these products illegal to transport across state lines, hemp – whether hemp oil, hemp nuts or hemp supplement oils that are highly concentrated with CBD- is perfectly legal for use throughout the United States, as long as the hemp is imported from an international source. (Hemp oil grown in the United States is subject to the same seed-to-sale state laws that apply to marijuana.)
It's also important to select CBD oil products based on your concentration preferences. Some forms of CBD oil – such as vapors and tinctures – normally have higher-than-average concentrations, whereas sprays and topicals tend to have lower concentrations. Remember: higher concentration means more pronounced effects, but not necessarily mean higher quality.
CBD exists at the confluence of three huge consumer trends. The first is the herbal supplement boom, a $49 billion-a-year industry that has seen rapid expansion since about 2010. The second is the rise of the anxiety economy, in which all sorts of products, from fidget spinners to weighted blankets, are pitched as reducers of the mild panic of everyday life. And the third is the near-overnight creation of a legitimate cannabis industry, thanks to the spread of marijuana legalization.
CBD was first discovered in 1940 by Roger Adams, a prominent organic chemist at the University of Illinois. Shortly thereafter, other scientists began testing isolated cannabinoids on lab animals; notably, Walter S. Loewe ran trials on mice and rabbits with the cannabinoids THC, CBD and CBN. He found that CBD produced no observable effects in the animals' behavior while THC caused, what he called, a "central excitant action" in rabbits. Despite science's movement forward, scientists were completely unaware of the cannabinoids' chemical structure, so no one could tell which specific compound resulted in which effect.
Derived from the stalk and seed of cannabis (hemp) plants, cannabidiol (CBD) oil or CBD hemp oil is a natural botanical concentrate that is high in the compound CBD. Of the more than 85 cannabinoids so far identified in the cannabis plant, CBD is the second most common after tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Unlike THC, CBD is non-psychotropic and therefore doesn't cause a euphoric high.
Decades of research indicate that cannabinoids like CBD interact with the body's endocannabinoid system, a complex system that contributes to a variety of biological processes like inflammation responses, relaxation, sleeping, and appetite. By linking with the two main types of cannabinoid receptors, CB1 and CB2, which are found on cells throughout the body, CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system, helping it in the regulation of homeostasis — the body's natural state of balance.
I just started taking CBD oil , I am on my 2nd Hip replacement surgery due to device failures looking at a 3rd surgery. Has you can imagine the pain, stress and anxiety levels are off the charts. Especially at an otherwise healthy 54 yr women. So i understand from reading posts its best to take it under the tongue. I am taking 1-2 ml a day. I can tell some difference,is your recommended dosage. I am using for pain , stress and sleep. I appreciate your feedback.
But there's a big difference between the two. Hemp seed oil has been pressed from hemp seed, and it's great for a lot of things – it's good for you, tastes great, and can be used in soap, paint – even as biodiesel fuel. However, hemp seed oil does not contain any concentration of cannabinoids at all, including CBD. So by all means, stock up at your local natural food store. Just don't expect to reap the benefits of a true CBD oil when you cook with hemp seed oil.
Prescription medicine (Schedule 4) for therapeutic use containing 2 per cent (2.0%) or less of other cannabinoids commonly found in cannabis (such as ∆9-THC). A schedule 4 drug under the SUSMP is Prescription Only Medicine, or Prescription Animal Remedy – Substances, the use or supply of which should be by or on the order of persons permitted by State or Territory legislation to prescribe and should be available from a pharmacist on prescription.[77]
Industrial hemp contains, by weight, far less CBD than CBD-rich cultivars such as Harlequin or Sour Tsunami. This means that producing a single 10 mL dose of CBD would require the cultivation and extraction of far more hemp than it would from whole-plant marijuana; thus raising the risk of exposing users to more contaminants. Hemp is classified as a "bioaccumulator," or a plant that naturally absorbs toxicants from the soil.
My coffee shop is not unusual in selling CBD products. In New York, and all over the country, you can find CBD oil in convenience stores, CBD vapes in smoke shops, and CBD tinctures and topical creams in beauty stores. You can buy CBD dog treats in Chicago, a $700 CBD couples massage in Philadelphia, and CBD chocolate chip cookies in Miami. CBD is also being combined with ice cream, savory snacks, and cocktails. Even Coca-Cola is reportedly working on a CBD-infused beverage.
As one of the original CBD manufacturers, Green Roads reputation truly precedes them, and their pharmacist formulated manufacturing process is why we selected them as the best quality CBD oil on the market. They offer a range of CBD oil concentrations (100mg, 250mg, 350mg, 550mg, 1000mg, 1500mg, and 3,500mg) all of which allow you to view ingredients and test results from a 3rd party testing facility via a QR code on the box.

Cooper recently got funding from the National Institutes of Health for a study looking at cannabinoids — including CBD in isolation — as a substitute for opioids, and numerous other clinical trials of CBD are underway. It will be several years before results are available, but these studies should help clarify both what benefits the substance may provide and any side effects it may come with. Most of the adverse effects so far associated with cannabis, such as impairments in short-term memory, coordination and judgment,2 come from products that contain THC as well as CBD, Cooper said, but we need to do more studies to find out for sure whether CBD has fewer risks. Studies are also needed to identify the best way to administer and dose CBD. "I get emails from people asking me what dose of CBD to use, and the truth is, we really don't know," Cooper said.
I ordered this a few weeks ago after we got scammed by another CBD product company. My husband was very leary of trying another product. But today he had left for work ( he transports cars to auction) and came back due to I forgot my drops. He is also mad that I havent placed an order yet and we are almost out. So order is going in for two bottles ASAP for the 1000 mg. This product is well worth the money

When we started CBD products we were getting it in candy form from a friend. It worked really well for us adults. But for the kids it was a mess cutting hard candy is a pain. So I thought wed give the 500 mg oil a try see how they liked it. And they love it They prefer it to the candies. My daughter is not a good sleeper and she says that using the oil works better and faster than eating the candy. My sons also love it as well. There is no flavor to worry about. I give them each 4 mg under the tongue for 30 seconds and they happily go to bed and feel good the next day. I am so glad we bought this
Donald Abrams was a member of the committee that reviewed the evidence that went into producing the report, and he said that the studies they reviewed overwhelmingly used pharmaceutically available preparations that contain THC, including dronabinol, nabilone and the whole-plant extract spray nabiximols, which contains equal parts CBD and THC. It's impossible to know whether the benefits of cannabis can also be obtained from CBD alone, Abrams said, because CBD is just one of 400 chemicals present in the plant. So far, CBD in isolation has been studied in only a handful of randomized, placebo-controlled trials (considered the gold standard of evidence in medical research), and the evidence remains sparse.
You then take your first drop of CBD oil, wait 45 minutes, then ask the questions again. If you feel no different and there's no change in the way you answer those questions, you increase the dose by small increments until you do notice a difference. You can continue this process over several days – and at some point, you'll find that taking more doesn't change your scores. That is your minimum effective dose.

Almost ten percent of people worldwide deal with acne. It's a pretty common skin condition, even among adults. A few major factors can cause acne. Those are usually genetic makeup, bacterial infection, underlying skin inflammation, and sebum overproduction. Sebum is an oily secretion that lubricates our skin. It forms inside of sebaceous glands, which are under our skin.
Vapor Distillation™: Also sometimes called thermal extraction, vapor distillation uses hot air to safely vaporize the full spectrum of chemical components at high concentration from the buds, and then the vapor is distilled into CBD oil. This method also activates the cannabinoids by removing an extra carboxyl ring from their molecular chain (a chemical reaction called decarboxylation), enabling them to interact directly with CB receptors for maximal medicinal value.
Insomnia: The anxiety-alleviating and sleep-prolonging qualities of CBD oil make it a good option for many people with insomnia. Those who experience insomnia due to pain or discomfort may also find that using CBD oil alleviates their physical symptoms to a noticeable extent. CBD oil may also promote daytime wakefulness when taken in small amounts; people with insomnia can use it as a pick-me-up if they feel excessively tired due to lack of restful sleep.
In the meantime, some physicians are forging ahead — and cashing in. Joe Cohen is a doctor at Holos Health, a medical marijuana clinic in Boulder. I asked him what CBD is good for, and he read me a long list of conditions: pain, inflammation, nausea, vomiting, intestinal cramping, anxiety, psychosis, muscle spasms, hyperactive immune systems, nervous system degeneration, elevated blood sugar and more. He also claimed that CBD has anti-cancer properties and can regenerate brain cells and reduce the brain's levels of amyloid beta — a kind of protein that's been linked to Alzheimer's disease. I asked for references, noting that most of these weren't listed in the Academies report or a similar review published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. "I think you just have to Google search it," he said. It's true that a preliminary study found hints that cannabinoids might reduce beta amyloid proteins in human brain cells, but the study was done in cells grown in a lab, not in people. As for cancer, the FDA sent warning letters last year to four companies that were selling products that claimed to "prevent, diagnose, treat or cure" cancer.
The human body also produces cannabinoids, known as endocannabinoids, in a bodily system known as the endocannabinoid system (or ECS). The ECS promotes homeostasis by regulating a wide range of functions, including motor skills, mood, appetite, and sleep. As we age, our ECS produces fewer endocannabinoids; they may also decrease due to physical injury or disease. Replenishing depleted endocannabinoids with phytocannabinoids like CBD can help restore balance to the body.
We use ethanol/alcohol to extract our hemp, the most historically used method for cannabis/hemp extracts. It is a clean and cold extraction method that allows for optimal retention of terpenes and other sensitive compounds. We also employ low-temperature and relatively low-pressure CO2 extractions for some of our products. For the CBD isolate and CBD vape products, further processing is required to obtain the purity level achieved.
Hemp oil cold pressed from hemp seeds grown in Canada. This hemp oil is also from an industrial hemp variety of Cannabis sativa which doesn't require herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers. Hemp oil is very nutritious with an ideal profile of omega 3 and 6, but the main purpose for it being in our blend is to have a base oil to emulsify the hemp extract into.
