Doing BRAC The Right Way
(DEFENSE NEWS 20 JUN 13) … John King
When it comes to downsizing its infrastructure, the Pentagon hasn't learned any lessons. Obviously, neither has Congress. As part of its FY 2014 defense budget, the Pentagon requested another round of base closings starting in FY 2015. Four Washington think tanks recently agreed another round of closings was necessary to free up monies to help pay down future sequestrations. Naturally, Congress threw up at the idea, with the House and Senate Armed Services committees now denying that request.
As a senior former Pentagon budget analyst, I've been through all five rounds of Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC). Each service evaluates its facilities and properties for excess capacity, basing retention decisions on unique military requirements.
A major criticism, especially in the last round, has been that costs were understated and savings overstated. This basically happened because Congress does not restrain the Pentagon from inserting "we forgot about" emergent items or "we really need" to expand the scope of proposed projects. Just like its weapon development programs, the Pentagon can't manage itself.
In the early 1990s, Congress authorized an assessment of DoD laboratories and test and evaluation facilities. Getting smarter, Congress directed a "BRAC with modernization" of retained facilities. Heading the budget team, I saw this assessment delayed two years so it could be rolled into BRAC 5.
Part of the cross-service capabilities assessment, the final recommendations were ignored, as the Pentagon wimped out, going "BRAC-lite."
Four critical activities need to be addressed for the Pentagon to do BRAC right:
First, to bring integrity to the process, the BRAC commission itself should adjudicate the infrastructure requirements assessment process, not just approve Pentagon-submitted decisions. That allows the commission to act as a third-party between the Pentagon and Congress.
That body would conduct an everything-on-the-table assessment of similar capabilities across all services, consolidating capabilities and eliminating redundancies. Two infrastructure levels should be established: one at 80 percent of current force structure size and one for a 20 percent standby surge.
Instead of a "threaten everybody approach," the commission would exercise a proper due diligence function then announce what bases it considers "core capabilities." With key bases retained and local political resistance eliminated, removing excess capacity is easier.
Second, DoD really needs to get into the redevelopment business. Instead of leaving local communities to recover, this is an opportunity. Real estate development and construction companies should be brought into the process early. With government as an active partner, banks should be eager to help with financing.
Third, a combination of government and private facilities makes up the military-industrial base; the Pentagon must recognize a strong industrial sector underpins a strong military.
A separate BRAC assessment subgroup can map out key research, technology, production and testing capabilities of private partners. It's also time DoD includes provisions about buying or subsidizing some critical industrial areas and capabilities during low production periods or gaps.
Fourth, overlaying this assessment should be a well-articulated and financed plan to modernize and sustain it. For bases and facilities defined as core, there should be a redevelopment/modernization component, using updated base master plans and private money.
Handling Navy/Marine Corps military construction and housing budgets for five years, I saw how construction and modernization follows a squeaky-wheel approach as every base competes its projects.
Instead, we should employ a privately financed "Whole Base Modernization" strategy to tackle infrastructure modernization in a coherent way. (DoD family housing privatization leveraged $2 billion in Pentagon dollars to gain $23 billion in private financing to fix almost 200,000 housing units.)
Like a mortgage, current construction, modernization and maintenance funds would pay down that initial financing. Efficiencies from a well-designed modernization plan would offset interest rate carrying charges, making it cost-neutral.
DoD estimates it has about $700 billion in infrastructure based on plant replacement value. That is unrealistic. A decent modernization program would cost about $100 billion a year for 10 years, then a proper sustainment program would cost maybe 20 percent of that investment.
So, while the Pentagon didn't do its job, Congress, instead of not doing your job, give me a call. I'll write the legislation to make sure we do it right this time.
John King is a retired Pentagon budget analyst and volunteer on the President's National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform defense budget review team.

What is the current wait time?
10-15 days
Can I wear the Thin-Part Wig with wig clips and no leave-out?
Yes! We have improved the design so now you can wear it with wig clips and NO LEAVE-OUT and now no anchor braids are needed. This works on any curly, wavy, kinky straight textures where there is already natural volume to the hair. You will lightly tease the roots to achieve flawless, natural looking roots. Watch the new video posted under the "videos" tab above or on the "How to Install Page".
For straighter textures with no volume you still need to use the bobby pin method or wear a thin leave-out if you want to wear it with no leave-out.
What is the differences between 10AAA virgin hair, 9AAA virgin hair and 8AAA virgin hair?
All of our units come with 100% Virgin Human Hair. This hair can have high heat applied and more. We offer 3 levels of virgin human hair.
10 AAA - This hair is the top virgin quality hair on the market. It can be colored and bleached and will last 3-4 years. This hair comes from women who have never colored their hair. Therefore it can take coloring and bleaching well and still allows the hair to last a long time. The wefts are triple reinforced, therefore shedding will be very minimal. The hair comes from younger donors therefore there will be no grey hairs or only a couple of strands or grey. The cuticles are aligned, which allows no matting or tangling.
9AAA - This hair can be colored up to a light brown but should not be bleached blonde. It will last 1.5 to 2 years. The wefts are double reinforced therefore you will experience minimal shedding. You may see more grey hairs than the 10AAA. The cuticles are aligned, therefore there will be no matting or tangling.
8AAA- This hair should not be colored or bleached. It will last 9 months. The wefts are not reinforced. This hair comes from older donors who may have colored/bleached their hair at some point. Though this hair will color if attempted, we do not recommend coloring or bleaching this hair as this can decrease the lifespan of it. The cuticles are aligned, you will experience no matting or tangling.
*Note: Curly/Kinky Curly hair is higher maintenance. The curlier or kinkier the hair, the more daily maintenance needed. Daily maintenance includes, wetting the hair and combing through it daily, being sure to comb through the roots.
How many bundles is each density?
Bundle weights vary by company. We calculate bundles by 3.5-4 oz per bundle.
130% density = 1.25 bundles
150% density = 1.5 bundles
180% density = 2 bundles
250% density = 2.5 bundles
We recommend at least 150% for lengths 16-20 inch. Anything above 20 inches needs 180% density or higher. Kinky straight hair is very voluminous and can therefore be ordered in 130% 12-16 inches.
Can it really be worn with no leave-out and will it truly look natural or will it look unnatural like the invisible part methods?
Yes, it can really be worn with no leave-out and yes it will truly look natural. Watch the how to install videos in the video section to learn how to make it look natural with kinky, curly and straight textures. Kinky, curly textures are easier to do and are perfect for beginner/intermediates. Straight textures require intermediate/advance skills. If you follow our recommended methods and practice, it will truly look like your own hair. It will not look like the invisible part methods which we find to be unnatural looking due to either visible knots, glue, wefts, visible lace and other unsightly techniques that scream "I'm wearing a weave". When our product is installed correctly it will look as natural as if you were wearing a leave-out.
Can it be sewn in?
Yes because the cap is 100% Breathable just like our 10 Minute Sew-in unit, it can be safely sewn in while allow your scalp to properly breathe so it will not sweat or itch.
We recommend that you allow a professional to sew it in for you. When sewing it in, it's necessary to do a "back stitch" sewing pattern and to make your stitching very close together with no gaps in between. Also stitch at the edge of the material (the first 1-2 rows of insertion holes). Your goal is to tuck the edge under the anchor braid. Below are images of different types of stitching techniques. The typical stitch used for sewing wefts is a "whip stitch". That technique is not recommend for sewing down our True Roots Closure or our Thin-Part Wigs because the thread will be visible. By doing the back stitch, the stitching will blend in with the roots of the hair and be 100% undetectable.
Also note that if you want a heavier densities such as 250% which is around 3-4 bundles, and you want to sew it in then we recommend you purchase the 10 Minute Sew-in and True Roots Closure instead of the Thin-Part Wig. The density of the wig will tug on your top anchor braid. Though you won't feel uncomfortable, it will cause you anchor braid move away from your part. Remember, this technique requires your top two anchor braids be right next t to your part with no new growth/roots or gap. However, if you intend to wear thin strands out then you can sew-in a higher density Thin-Part Wig.
Can it be clipped in?
Yes and with our new improved design you do not need a leave-out to wear it wig clips. So now it only takes seconds to install! Watch the video under the videos tabs above to see more.
How often should I have my anchor braids re-braided?
If you are wearing it as a sew-in with no leave-out or wearing it using the bobby pin method see details below on how often your braid should be redone. You do not not need anchor braids with our new improved wig clip option.
Anchor braids: With Kinky and curly hair you can go several weeks because the teasing of the roots will hide the gap that will begin to occur as your anchor braid begins to move further away from your part. With straight hair the average is 2 weeks (if you're anchor braids have hair added to it to them stay in place longer). When your anchor braids have moved away from your part and are no longer right next to your part, but instead have a gap of your own roots (new growth) showing, then with straight textures you will need to redo the braids.
How long is the waitlist?
Please see the "shipping" tab for updated wait times.
Can I expedite my order?
Yes. You can decrease your wait time by choosing the option to "jump ahead in line to decrease your wait".
What texture mimics coarse hair that has been relaxed or silk pressed?
Our Yaki volume and Kelsey units.
Can I wear it flat at the roots with no volume and with no leave-out?
No. For a natural look we recommend just the slightest amount of lift to the roots of your hair. Because this product is tucked under your anchor braid, when the hair in the roots area is completely laying flat, you will see a slight indentation caused by your anchor braids. The indentation does not look natural in our opinion. However if you wear a thin leave-out it can be worn with silky straight flat roots with no volume.
I don't see the exact texture and style I want. Can I make a custom unit?
Yes. Just email pictures and the exact density, length, and texture you want. We will send you an invoice.
How is this different from a U-part wig?
A u-part wig has a weft at the top which requires you to leave a large section of your own hair out in order to cover the weft. This requires you to blend a 3x4 section of you're hair with the wig. This process can be difficult for some and restrictive for those who wish to wear multiple textures which may not be the exactly the same as their own. Therefore it often does not look real as people can tell the difference between your hair and the wig.
The top opening of the Thin-Part Wig mimics real hair roots. This allows you to wear your own real part with no leave-out or you can leave our thin strands. With our new improved design you can now even wear it with clips in and wear no leave-out. If you do not want to clip it in you can wear it with no leave-out by tucking the edge of the opening under your anchor braid you can make the hair appear to be coming from your own real scalp. If you want to wear a leave-out, you can leave-out 99% less leave-out than a U-part wig. Unlike a Upart wig, if the winds blows your leave out out of place, no track/weft will show. Instead it will just look like the roots of your hair.

Space Shuttle
Space Shuttles are large vehicles run by NASA that typically travel between the Earth and extraplanetary destinations like the Moon, Alpha Centauri, diverse areas of Texas and thus Hell. Widely viewed as the safest and most comfortable way to travel to any of those destinations, they have developed a cult following, being mimicked by such fictional television characters as Captain Kirk, Buck Rogers, and Ronald Reagan. The Shuttle system as a whole consists of three components: the orbiter (right) which carries people and cargo; the external tank, which holds an extra supply of coal for the shuttle to use during lift-off; and the SRBs (Smelly, Reeking Bums). Space shuttles fly regular missions from Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, sometimes at a rate of two or three per week. At a maximum flight speed of 600,000 miles per hour (166.66 miles per second), the space shuttle is by far the fastest ship in the known universe, being even faster than the Millenium Falcon.
Construction[edit | edit source]
Orbiter[edit | edit source]
The shuttle orbiters are among the most advanced vehicles of our time, and have justly held that title since they were built in 1863 by Union forces trying to surprise the Confederate Army at Gettysburg. Main propulsion comes from a set of three SSMEs (Space Shuttle Main Engines). These burn high quality coal along with space air to produce 91,800,000 pounds of thrust at 3260 degrees Celsius with an ISP of 423 sec, along with several other impressive sounding numbers that you hopefully won't bother to verify. Coal reaches the orbiter from a conveyor belt and drop chute from the external tank. Unlike other orbiters, the Shuttle is neither equipped with Hyperspace nor Infinite Improbability Drive.
Heat Tiles[edit | edit source]
Due to the high heat of re-entry, engineers were presented with a fundamental problem: how to enable at least half of the crew to make it back alive. Engineers painstakingly developed tiles of a new material, called "cast iron". Mined from the depths of the earth and refined through complex furnaces, it gives the shuttle its amazing durability in space and resistance to weather damage on the ground. The process to create these tiles is very complex, and involves pouring the cast iron into molds, at very high temperatures, and allowing it to cool down for a week. By that point, the tiles are light and strong enough that a young child could hold one in the palm of their hand, and crush it only if they try hard enough.
During the development of the tiles, a serious problem arose: Since the frame of the craft is made of wood, and the tiles of "iron", how could they be attached? After much research, NASA decided that the only adhesive strong enough to hold the tiles together is duct tape. Light-colored duct tape lines the upper side, while dark-colored tape lines the underside. [1] This helps the Nearly-Blind Maintenance Team (NBMT) to locate the craft for conducting its critical inspections. It should be stated that this process has proven to be quite a success, as no shuttle has ever burned up during re-entry so long as the tiles held together[2]. Water, however, has the ability of melting them. Therefore the shuttle has to be protected from rain and high humidity wherever it goes so that the crew survive. Needless to say Thunder Inlet, Florida is still the best location they could find to build the launch pad.
It is estimated that every mission the shuttle flies deplete's Earth's ozone layer by 30 percent, a fact which was highlighted by Al Gore in his movie, An Incoherent Truth. Since that time a group of citizens including Gore himself founded the group Determined United Men Battling Against Space Shuttles DUMBASS, which holds rallys around the world to warn people of the dangers space shuttle flight, and the terrible effects they have on the planet.
The Space Shuttle Computer[edit | edit source]
"I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."
The Space Shuttle is notable for the amount of computing power required for its missions. All components of a mission are controlled by the Space Shuttle Computer. Like the rest of the Shuttle, the computer can fail from time to time, resulting in the Shuttle being stranded at the Space Station, crashing on take-off, or breaking up on re-entry. The computer is so powerful, that replacement parts are difficult to find. To overcome this, NASA resorted to using eBay and yard sales to obtain such parts. The Computer itself is equipped with state-of-the-art Intel 8086 microprocessors, stunning EGA graphics, 8-bit sound, 8-inch floppy drive, and four color display. When not busy, the computer also provides a form of entertainment for the astronauts with many classic games. [3]
Conveniences[edit | edit source]
The orbiter contains a number of conveniences for the crew. The creatively-titled Canadarm, named after Sir John Canad, enables the crew to help supplement NASA's income by snagging other people's satellites for return. The arm was a gift from the state "Canada", which also donated to the project its maple-syrup landing cushion and unjustified sense of self-worth. Inside, a state-of-the-art steam abacus handles landing calculations, while the crew can use a modern outhouse, enjoy complimentary coffee, and have meals cooked by the descendants of an African-American slave who was never informed of the Emancipation Proclamation. A cast-iron satellite dish helps make the craft appear to be able to keep contact with ground control, which is played by the cast of 'Seinfeld'.
External tank[edit | edit source]
The external tank is a large orange structure that attaches to the orbiter. It is not reused, and serves during launch the dual roles of providing extra coal to the orbiter and shedding life-sustaining debris on it. Sadly, the coal shoveler inside has no chance of survival, and must be replaced by a new immigrant with each launch. The tank is painted bright orange to help ensure that NBMT, which is in charge of hooking up the life support systems and preventing catastrophic systems failure, can find it. Additionally the tank stays in orbit to become a new segment in the secret space station, ring shaped, like in all the science fiction movies, it even spins. The orange color starting with the second launch, is to make is harder to see from the Earth. Since there are over 130 external fuel tanks that NASA says just fell to earth with no parachute should make most idiots accept that answer, but anyone with half a brain would realize what a waste that would be. What are they doing up there besides micro manufacturing and bug studies? Almost 6,000 people have been killed by falling external tanks, far less than NASA's original projections, and since the tanks usually fall to earth on insignificant places like the British West Indes, this part of the shuttle program is considered to be a success.
SRBs[edit | edit source]
The SRBs, or "Solid Rocket Bombs", are long tubes of aluminum powder, ammonium perchlorate, polyurethane, sodium pentethol, and any other flammable chemicals that just happen to be in the lab thrown in for good measure. These are attached to the main tank, with the express purpose of fulfilling mad scientist Neil Armstrong's deranged desires to kill the crew. Thankfully, the Peenamunde SRB Assembly Plant workers often rebel against their management, to dire consequences, and work their hardest to keep the bombs from going off more than one in every five flights.
SRBs can trace their origins back to ancient China, where they were used as fireworks.
Shuttle Carrier Aircraft[edit | edit source]
The Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) is a souped up 747 complete with spoilers, neon, chrome, sound system, and roof-rack. If the Shuttle runs out of fuel during a mission, the SCA can be used to retrieve the orbiter from low orbit. It takes the NBMT about a week to lift the shuttle onto the aircraft and secure it down with duct tape. To expedite the process, instructions are printed on both the plane and the shuttles [3]. In addition to retrieving the Shuttle, the SCA can also be used to assist the Shuttle in takeoff as the extra wings and engines on the plane provide improved aerodynamics and thrust.
Cost of Space Shuttle Program[edit | edit source]
The introduction of the gold standard was justified to fund the space shuttle program. Although NASA keeps the true cost a closely-guarded secret, estimates suggest each orbiter costs as much as $USD 1732.60 or £1000. Each mission is rumoured to cost $USD 37, two eggs and three rations of bacon for the coalman and fodder for the oxen used to transport the shuttle to Kitty Hawk. The crippling debts of the US government lead to the Wall Street crash, widespread atheism, and the making of Space Camp, the 1986 classic, starring Lea Thompson. The film grossed $USD 5198.80 at the box office, securing the project for at least another 3 space shuttles or 14 future missions.
Uses[edit | edit source]
The U.S. space shuttle was designed to assist in the production of a James Bond film, and to construct and resupply the International Space Station, which itself was designed to be a place for the shuttle to go. The shuttle usually ferries important cargo such as food, water, and toilet paper [4]; but it is also capable of carrying Russian Space Station modules. (It does not, however, carry Centrifuge or Habitation modules.)
Other uses of the shuttle include launching satellites, conducting science experiments, and providing joyrides to U.S. Senators. The shuttle was originally intended to be able to launch into polar orbit from California, but this was cancelled after Madeline Murray O'Hare voiced concerns that it would provide too much taxpayer-funded publicity to Santa Claus and his polar operations.
Other countries have built their own versions of the shuttle. Russia has a version that was built to just sit there and look "as cool as the American shuttle," and to show off at holiday parades. Japan also is building their own shuttle, which is smaller than the U.S. model and intended to get better fuel efficiency and to be more reliable. They intend to use it to patrol outer space in search of an interstellar giant flying turtle called Gamera, and to compete with the U.S. space shuttle market.
Shuttles[edit | edit source]
Columbia[edit | edit source]
Columbia, the first shuttle, was named after it's father, one of those 50,000 British/French/Spanish/Portuguese/German/Danish ships also named Columbia. Because of this, Columbia had serious abandonment issues, so NASA stole it from Europe. When it was once coming back to Earth, it spontaneously combusted and it and the the people inside disintegrated.
Challenger[edit | edit source]
Challenger was named after Ninja Gaiden, the original name was going to be "Fucking Impossible". After 9 flights in space, someone at NASA finally beat the game, causing Challenger to explode.
Discovery[edit | edit source]
Discovery was also named after it's father, and so was just as screwed up as Columbia. Despite it's name, it barely discovered anything, so NASA's going to disintegrate it in November 2010. The same thing will be done to the next two in 2011.
Atlantis[edit | edit source]
Atlantis is widely believed not to exist. It was named after a city that doesn't exist. Atlantis, if it does exist, is a Water-Steel type, and does not evolve. It will be disintegrated before Endeavor, as it was reported raping Opportunity soon before it was launched to Mars.
Endeavor[edit | edit source]
Endeavor was made to replace Challenger, and, like Columbia and Discovery, couldn't find it's father, and was very fucked up. It will be destroyed before it's disintegrated, as NASA is going to see what happens if you give termites wood-colored metal pizzas. The parts(and the termites who were dumbasses and ate the metal) will then be disintegrated so Endeavor can lead a happy life in Narnia with the other shuttles.

Cross Creek Series, book 2
by Kimberly Kincaid
by Kimberly Kincaid
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Cocky farmer Eli Cross plays twice as hard as he works. When his latest stunt drums up a heap of negative PR for the family farm, he grudgingly agrees to play host to an ambitious New York City photographer. Her feature on Cross Creek could be just the ticket to show the country what the Cross brothers do best…which is more problem than solution for Eli.
Scarlett Edwards-Stewart has photographed everything from end zones to war zones. She's confident she can ace this one little story to help her best friend's failing magazine. At least, she would be, if her super-sexy host weren't also so tight-lipped. But the more Scarlett works with Eli, the more she discovers he's not who he seems. Can his secret bring them closer together? Or will it be the very thing that tears them apart?
Scarlett's pulse kicked in a burst of realization. "You're going to be my point of contact at the farm for the whole four weeks?"
Looked like she'd unknowingly managed to piss off karma after all. But come on. She needed a blockbuster, not a ball buster. She had to be stuck with the cockiest Cross of the bunch?
That unsettling smirk worked its way back over Eli's mouth. "Yes ma'am."
Greeeaaat. "Scarlett," she said. "And I'm not going to keel over from heat exhaustion." She was hardly a delicate freaking flower.
Eli lifted one shoulder halfway before letting it drop. "That's what everyone says right up 'til they do it. But just because you don't plan on something doesn't mean it isn't gonna jump up and bite you on the…"
"Ass?" Scarlett supplied, filling in the obvious blank from where Eli had abruptly trailed off. No, really? They didn't even swear all the way out here in God's country? Fuck, she was hosed.
Chagrin flickered over his sun-bronzed face, there and then gone. "Yes ma'am."
"Scarlett," she reminded him, pulling a breath full of hot air into her already tight chest. Story. Story. You're here for a story. "Okay. Any other house rules I should know about?"
"We start early 'round here." He angled his boots over a branch on the path, heading toward a long, skinny barn-looking structure.
Wait… "How early?"
His smile paved the way for his answer. "Five-thirty."
Oh, ow. "You do know that's inhuman, right?"
"You do want the 'authentic experience' of farm life, right?" Eli volleyed, slinging air quotes around the words she'd used earlier, and shit. Shit, shit, sleepless shit. He kind of had her there.
Not that she was conceding defeat of any kind. "So no flip-flops, hydrate, cover up, and be ready to roll at oh-dark-thirty. Is that all?"
The slight lift of his dark blond brows was the only betrayal of his surprise. "It'll serve for now."
"Excellent, because I've got a couple rules of my own." Scarlett jammed her flip-flops to a halt on the path, staring Eli down even though he stood a solid foot taller than her in those banged-up boots of his. "I'm here to do a job, and I don't intend to take any half measures, which means, yes, I'm going to take a lot of pictures, and yes, I do want to experience farm life authentically. I'm fine with hard work, and also fine with any suggestions or guidance you're willing to offer while we get that hard work done. What I'm not cool with"—she lifted a finger to send her point all the way home—"is you underestimating me. These features are going to do a lot for your farm, and I'm a damned good photographer, not to mention a pretty smart woman. Now, are we going to play nicely together for the sake of this magazine layout, or are you going to keep leading the way with your cocky attitude? In truth, I'm fine with either, but if you want to go the arrogant route, be forewarned. I bite back."
Hunter Cross has no regrets. Having left his football prospects behind the day he graduated high school, he's happy to carry out his legacy on his family's farm in the foothills of the Shenandoah. But when a shoulder injury puts him face-to-face with the high school sweetheart who abandoned town—and him—twelve years ago, Hunter's simple life gets a lot more complicated.
Emerson Montgomery has secrets. Refusing to divulge why she left her job as a hotshot physical therapist for a pro football team, she struggles to readjust to life in the hometown she left behind. The more time she spends with Hunter, the more Emerson finds herself wanting to trust him with the diagnosis of MS that has turned her world upside down.
But revealing secrets comes with a price. Can Hunter and Emerson rekindle their past love? Or will the realities of the present—and the trust that goes with them—burn that bridge for good?
Kimberly Kincaid writes contemporary romance that splits the difference between sexy and sweet. When she's not sitting cross-legged in an ancient desk chair known as "The Pleather Bomber", she can be found practicing obscene amounts of yoga, whipping up anything from enchiladas to éclairs in her kitchen, or curled up with her nose in a book. Kimberly is a USA Today best-selling author and 2016 and 2015 RWA RITA finalist who lives (and writes!) by the mantra that food is love. She resides in Virginia with her wildly patient husband and their three daughters.

Using cannabis or marijuana for medicinal purposes is a hot topic right now among patients and health practitioners. It's regularly touted as a pain reliever for many chronic illnesses, including cancer.
According to the National Cancer Institute, here are some of the facts about medical marijuana and its suggested uses:
It's grown all over the world.
The plant is grown in various places around the world but originated in central Asia. The resin of the plant contains compounds called cannabinoids which are active chemicals that affect the brain and central nervous system.
The key is cannabinoids.
Two of the active cannabinoids that are useful in medical marijuana are delta-9-THC and cannabidiol. Delta-9-THC is psychoactive and is the property that gives users the "high," whereas cannabidiol can help the central nervous system and immune system by decreasing inflammation without any high for the user. Cannabinoids can be taken in several ways: inhaled, sprayed under the tongue, ingested or smoked.
It's been used for thousands of years.
Cannabis has been used for medicinal purposes in some civilizations for thousands of years, but it's only been since the late 19th century that western medicine has started to see the potential for cannabis to be used as a pain reliever.
MORE: How prevalent is cancer?
Medical marijuana is legal in some states.
Recreational use of cannabis is illegal in the United States, but many states now allow the use of medicinal marijuana for patients who are registered.
Cannabinoids can help with the side effects of chemotherapy.
It's thought that cannabinoid drugs may offer pain relief for cancer patients and help with some of the side effects of treatment, including chemotherapy. Though as of right now, there's no hard evidence to support the use of ingesting or smoking cannabis to treat nausea and sickness from chemotherapy.
Cannabis has killed cancer cells in laboratory tests.
There has been clinical research which shows that cannabis has been able to kill cancer cells in laboratory tests, but cannabis has not been approved by the FDA as a treatment for cancer.

Sept 27, 2022 – New York City, NY – With the rise of Social Media Marketing, there has undoubtedly been a noticeable change in the Digital Marketing space. Many brands, regardless of size, want to profit as much as possible from this method of promotion. There is much to discuss, but AuroIN, a leading social media marketing company in New York, explains the major benefits of social media marketing here. Continue reading to find out what benefits your company can reap.
Social Media Marketing: What is it?
Social media marketing is a type of digital marketing that makes use of the strength of well-known social media platforms to meet your branding and marketing objectives. However, it goes beyond simply setting up business accounts and posting random content whenever you want. An evolving strategy with quantifiable objectives is needed for social media marketing that includes:
- Keeping your profiles updated and optimized
- Posting various types of content about your brand, such as pictures, videos, stories, and videos, to attract niche audiences
- Replying to comments, shares, and likes
- Interacting with fans and influencers in order to create a community
What Social Media Marketing (SMM) can do for you?
1. Enhancing brand loyalty and customer engagement:
Every social media post you publish on a social media platform gives you the chance to turn your fans into paying clients.
The benefits of using social media for business are significant because it enables you to develop a social media following and forge closer relationships with potential, current, and past customers.
Through social media interaction, you can convince customers to be more devoted to your company.
Each time you post a status update, picture, blog post, comment, or video on social media, you give people a chance to respond, which increases the number of people who visit your website. Social media is the perfect platform for sparking conversation, raising consumer engagement, and facilitating enjoyable interactions that may result in conversions.
2. Increasing inbound traffic:
Marketers can drive more traffic to their websites by using the social media pages of their online business. Social media is like a melting pot that gathers people from all walks of life in one place, so every piece of content you post there gives your business another chance to gain a new customer.
Social media marketing can assist marketers in persuading visitors from social media to go to their website, increasing traffic and having a positive impact on their online business. The best chance to raise your search engine rankings is through the creation of high-quality content for your social media pages.
3. Value for money:
One of the most obvious benefits of social media marketing is its low cost. It is by far the most cost-effective component of any internet marketing campaign.
Online marketers who use social media marketing see a higher return on their investments as it helps to keep customers and reduce budget and business expenses. It is very focused on getting results and making sure clients are happy.
The best course of action when using paid social media advertising is to start small and tweak your plan as you see results. "You can better understand your customers and increase customer satisfaction by having skilled employees interact with them on social media," says AuroIN.
4. More effective audience targeting and result monitoring:
Social media is so data-rich that you can easily use data analytics tools to research your competitors, understand your customers' preferences, target various categories, and identify your target audience in the most professional and conversion-focused way possible.
Another advantage of social media in business is geotargeting, which lets marketers target people within a certain mile radius of their company location. This lets you draw in more walk-in customers and boost sales.
The ability to track results is one of the most important advantages of social media marketing. Social media marketing assists businesses in measuring conversions and increasing conversion rates in this way. Marketers can monitor the success of their social media marketing campaigns as well as sales, email subscriptions, website traffic, and other metrics with the help of this feature.
5. Better brand recognition and awareness:
Consumers prefer to buy brands they recognize, making effective brand awareness one of the most important marketing goals for businesses. Fortunately, social media marketing allows you to achieve that level of brand recognition.
Social media has numerous advantages for businesses, which is why it is one of the most effective digital marketing tools for syndicating content and increasing brand exposure and recognition.
To get started, create social media profiles for your company. Once you're satisfied with your page, start interacting with people. It's possible that this is one of the most significant advantages of social networking for businesses.
You should concentrate on the profile pictures of your company's social media pages and then nudge staff members, acquaintances, friends, business partners, and sponsors to "like" and "share" your page. Engaging with your content on social media will increase brand recognition and help your business establish a positive reputation.
6. Conversion rates boost quickly:
Social media followers are more likely to have faith in your brand, which motivates them to go to your website and take advantage of your goods and services.
If you start interacting with your audience and giving them a sense that they are an integral part of your business, you may expect conversions from your social media marketing strategy. One of the best ways to develop human connections with prospects and potentially increase conversion rates is through social media.
7. Increased brand value and consistent traffic growth:
The social media followers you acquire through your social profile are more likely to remain with you for an extended period of time and to influence more users, which boosts sales and returns on investment.
When your social media page has a good number of followers, you can be sure that all of your posts about a particular good or service will generate sales.
The number of followers a company has and how well it engages with those followers both contribute to the brand value of the business. A strong strategy for social media marketing may assist businesses in building a favorable reputation among consumers and enhancing brand value.
Social media marketing can efficiently improve your sales if you have a great brand, a website, and a professional team of social media experts to promote your business across major social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram. You can always get in touch with AuroIN to plan and carry out a solid social media marketing campaign for your company.

Perfect Valentine…
Here is your chance to pick up the perfect Valentines Day gift for your lover… or yourself.
Love Life, the Baltimore quartet created dark, twisted operatic-rock for the rest of us. Featuring ex-members of Jaks, Universal Order of Armageddon, and the Great Unraveling, their music co-mingles the sacred with the profane, making a juxtaposition seem natural. Odd time signatures, driving bass, spooky multi-layered arrangements and Katrina Ford's uniquely sinister, guttural voice and lyrics, the music of Love Life is unlike anything else. The band has since dismantled and members have gone on to such acts as Celebration. Pressed as a heart shaped record.

On October 27 I reported on this blog that Google quietly eliminated the use of the plus sign operator in Google Search. (A Change You Need to Know About)
The technology community suspected that "the move was in response to their growing focus on Google+ and the possibility of a new use for the "plus" sign." I encouraged you to stay tuned.
You didn't have to wait long to find out why the change was made. Yesterday Google announced on the Official Google Blog a use for that plus sign: Direct Connect from Google Search.
Direct Connect from Google Search
It's no surprise that the plus sign's new role has something to do with connecting users to Google+, the (fairly) new social networking platform. The + sign is now all about quickly connecting you directly to business Google+ Pages.
Many have wondered why Google+ didn't allow for business and organization profiles since that is a big part of the Facebook offering. It appears now that the delay was in order to re-purpose the plus sign.
Google explained it this way: "Maybe you're watching a movie trailer, or you just heard that your favorite band is coming to town. In buy pain medication online net both cases you want to connect with them right now, and Direct Connect makes it easy – even automatic. Just go to Google and search for [+], followed by the page you're interested in (like +Angry Birds). We'll take you to their Google+ page, and if you want, we'll add them to your circles."
So the plus sign can now get us connected to Angry Birds, quicker? Whoo hoo?! Gosh, I was perfectly happy with the way the plus sign got me to web pages that shared information about my ancestor (+Jehu Burkhart I miss you!)
Direct Connect is up and running for a couple of the big boy brands like +Google, +Pepsi, and +Toyota, so you can try those searches to see how they work. Eventually the rest of the world will be allowed in and you can learn more about how Direct Connect for your organization in the Google Help Center.
So remember, if you want to connect with Pepsi you can plus. But, if you're looking for a specific ancestor, word, or phrase you need to surround them in quotation marks. And you can quote me on that!

Chemotherapy may cause ovarian failure leading to premature menopause, which is the end of menstruation. Ovarian failure may be temporary or permanent. Hot flashes (sensations of heat with redness, flushing and sometimes sweating) are a common and disturbing symptom of menopause. Talk to your doctor about menopause and what can be done to manage the symptoms.
What is menopause?
Menopause is the end of menstruation. It is usually confirmed after 12 consecutive months have passed without a menstrual cycle. While this is the definition of menopause that your doctor uses, menopause is also understood in terms of the many physical changes that a woman experiences either before or after menstruation stops.
What causes menopause?
Menopause is a natural event in every woman's life. For cancer patients, menopause can occur prematurely. Cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy, may cause premature menopause by damaging the ovaries and decreasing production of estrogen and other female hormones. These hormones regulate the menstrual cycle; without them, the body no longer releases eggs from the ovaries and the menstrual cycle stops.
Premature menopause as a result of cancer therapy usually comes on gradually and can be temporary or permanent. Return of ovarian function depends on the woman's age before treatment and the type of chemotherapy drug used. Ovarian failure as a result of chemotherapy has been shown to benefit some women with localized breast cancer. Many studies have shown that young women with breast cancer who develop ovarian failure after chemotherapy have fewer recurrences than women who have permanent ovarian failure.[1]
What are the symptoms of menopause?
Symptoms of menopause vary from person to person. However, because premature menopause occurs more suddenly than natural menopause, symptoms may be more severe. Possible menopausal symptoms include:
Hot flashes (sensations of heat with redness, flushing and sometimes sweating)
Mood changes (mood swings, depression, irritability)
Sleep problems
Vaginal dryness
Urinary problems, including burning or pain when urinating, or leaking when sneezing, coughing or laughing
Problems with concentration or memory
Less interest in sex and changes in sexual response
Weight gain
Thinning or loss of hair
How is menopause managed?
Common approaches to managing the symptoms of menopause include hormone replacement therapy, prescription antidepressant drugs, soy, and the herb black cohosh.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT): Symptoms of menopause can be managed through hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with estrogens and progesterone. However, this may not be an option for patients with breast or endometrial (uterine) cancers because the hormones may stimulate cancer growth. Furthermore, HRT is associated with risks. Talk to your doctor about whether HRT could be an option for you.
Antidepressant medication: Medications for depression are a non-hormonal approach that may be beneficial for some women. A clinical trial has demonstrated that the antidepressant venlafaxine (Effexor®) can suppress hot flashes. The study involved 222 women who tracked the number of hot flashes they had while taking venlafaxine. Women who took 75 milligrams (mg) a day had a 61% reduction in the number of hot flashes they experienced.[2] Fluoxetine (Prozac®) may also provide relief for some women.
Soy: Soy products may provide some relief. Soybeans contain phytoestrogens, which are estrogens found in plants. Isoflavones are one kind of phytoestrogen and are plentiful in whole-soy foods. These compounds behave like weak forms of your body's own estrogen.
Black cohosh: The herb black cohosh is approved in Germany for the treatment of hot flashes. It has been used to relieve some symptoms of menopause. However, since this herb has estrogen-like properties, its safety in patients with breast cancer has not been confirmed. Also, preliminary laboratory results suggest that black cohosh may increased the potency of certain chemotherapy drugs, including doxorubicin (Adriamycin®) and docetaxel (Taxotere®). Remember to tell your cancer doctor about any medication or alternative medicine treatments that you are taking.
What can I do to manage the symptoms of menopause?
Remember to talk to your doctor about any symptoms or side effects of cancer treatment that you are concerned about. Also, try these tips for managing symptoms of menopause:
Limit spicy food, alcohol and caffeine, all of which can trigger hot flashes.
Use a water soluble lubricant such as KY Jelly to relieve vaginal dryness.
Exercise daily to relieve emotional symptoms.

In fact, I had an iron-clad deal (I thought). When we adopted, I checked-off the box that said, "No Special Needs." Didn't think I could hack it.
And believe me, to this day, I sometimes wonder if I can run this marathon.
There are days that I say to myself, "I'm doing it! I'm doing it!" And there are those days, that sometimes come relentlessly for weeks at a time, that I say, "How am I going to keep doing this? I can't do this anymore."
So I started Hopeful Parents, a grassroots community where parents who understand what it's like having a child with special needs can connect.
Consider it a pit-stop in the marathon -- where we can go for attention to our wounds, where we can re-energize our way back on track, where we can look right and look left to see others running too, where we can hear the roar of the crowds cheering us on.
Hopeful Parents is a place of common ground.
We'll introduce you to our diverse pool of talented, thoughtful writers who will share their stories, their feelings, their ups and their downs.
You'll meet parents raising children with physical, psychological, emotional, neurological, sensory, behavioral, social, genetic, and developmental disabilities. Some parents are single, some are married. Some grieve the loss of their child; some grieve the loss of their spouse.
You'll also meet healers -- the "medics" who help us through our run. People we can turn to in our pain; people who can help provide some relief.
These writers -- the parents, the healers -- remind us that we're all on this journey together. We don't have to go it alone.
And with that spirit of togetherness, I invite you to get involved with Hopeful Parents: comment on a post, explore the sidebar, like us on Facebook, or follow us on Twitter.
You should become involved because we -- parents who face increasing medical expenses, parents who often times face uphill battles with our schools, parents who feel the minority in broader social settings -- will have a louder, more powerful voice if all of us, regardless of diagnosis, could come together as one unit.
If every parent of a child with special needs were to become involved with Hopeful Parents, imagine, for a moment, what we could do. Imagine banding together as a whole, collective voice to advocate for our children. Imagine a united assembly, strong in numbers, able to encourage more thoughtful leadership and policies so that we can better help ourselves, each other, our children, our communities, our nation and our world.
It's not a small vision. But it can be done. It starts with you.
A grand undertaking like this -- our marathon -- starts with a step. Here's the first one.

Toddler falls from second-story window, unclear as to how
SURPRISE, Ariz. (KSAZ) - A 2-year-old boy fell out of a second story window in Surprise this afternoon.
A neighbor, Frank Nezdoba, says the morning was unusual to due to attendance of Surprise Police, fire units, and a helicopter.
"Nothing like this really happens here. It was kind of crazy. A lot of people were here with their cameras out getting pictures of the helicopters," said Nezdoba.
Viewer video shows the helicopter taking off and heading for the hospital.
"They just rolled him down and put him in the helicopter. His mom went with him so we're hoping for the best for him," said Nezdoba.
While details of how the child managed to fall are still unclear, Frank says it would be unfair to place blame on the parents, adding that the top priority of emergency responders was to get to the child as quickly as possible.
"Their major concern was just that there was nothing in the way for the helicopter to actually land and that they could get the boy here safely," said Nezdoba.

SEO Tools, particularly website audit ones like Xenu Link Sleuth or PowerMapper SortSite, can sometimes take a long time to run when examining particularly large websites. Occasionally you may even need to reboot your machine for some other reason, which then ruins some particular run of these tools, forcing you to start over.
I recently got frustrated with this (and my laptop hitting near-Fahrenheit-451*-levels when doing site audits) and began looking for cheap solutions for running Windows software remotely.
