Believe it or not, another Shaken, Not Stirred event is almost upon us! This month we'll be reading James Bond short stories from Quantum of Solace. All of the past books have been novels, so short stories will be a first for this group. After our last event, Tanya from dog eared copy did some research and discovered that not all of the short stories contained in the Quantum of Solace audiobook were used when creating the movie. She then mapped everything out and discovered that the films for both Quantum of Solace and For Your Eyes Only (March event) are based upon the same short stories. Please see her post for the complete analysis. Summing it all up here, listen to the following short stories contained within the Quantum of Solace audiobook for both this month and next month's events:
- From a View to a Kill
- For Your Eyes Only
- Quantum of Solace
- Riscion
- The Hildebrand Rarity
The audiobook is published by Blackstone Audio. I purchased my copy through Audible, but you can pick up yours anywhere audiobooks are sold. If you're lucky, your local library might also have a copy.
The Twitter event will be held on Saturday, February 25th. It will begin at 9:30 EST with a discussion of the audiobook, followed by a viewing of Quantum of Solace starring Daniel Craig as James Bond at 10 EST.
I hope you can join us! If you have any questions about using Twitter for the main event, I've written up a few tips. You can always feel free to contact me by email as well (literatehousewife (at) gmail (dot) com.

The most loved bahu of Indian television, Divyanka Tripathi is all set to tie knot in real life with actor Vivek Dahiya. After the gorgeous pre-wedding shoot,The Wedding Story shared some pictures of Divyanka's haldi and mehendi ceremonies on their Facebook page. Divyanka sits pretty in a festive yellow ensemble for the haldi ceremony, changing into a baby pink lehenga for her mehendi. The henna artists actually drew the couples' faces on her hands, which we think is pretty cool! Congratulations, you two!

The way clients view SEO has evolved and grown-up a lot over recent years. SEO measurement now needs to ensure that the key performance indicators (KPIs) from campaigns are based around return on investment (ROI) and revenue. While previous SEO metrics such as rankings and traffic are still a good indicator of SEO success, they aren't a clear measurement of performance at a business level.
Typical Business Goals vs. SEO Goals
|Business Metrics
|SEO Metrics
|Organic Search Traffic
|Net Profit
|Year-on-Year Search Traffic
|Volume of Sales
|Non-Branded Search
|Average Order Value
|Target Keyword Rankings
The table above highlights what I've found to be a common issue with reviewing SEO performance; the metrics aren't in-line! If key decision makers are looking at business metrics to manage their search marketing budget – we need to understand the value of SEO based on the same goals.
SEO metrics are great indicators to show if a campaign is on track, but it's not what a marketing director or CMO really needs to analyze performance or justify budgets and their decision to hire you!
Decision Makers Understand the ROI of Paid Search
The paid search model has been understood by decision makers for years. Despite the percentage of organic clicks being much higher than paid, the ROI of PPC is much easier to measure – making it less of a risk and easier to justify and scale budgets.
Having an agency background, I've found that client-side SEO is now commonly run by either a search-savvy marketing manager, or in many cases a dedicated search team. Of course, each of these clients will need to justify costs and pitch for SEO campaign budgets from their own board. This means you have to show that if your client increased spend by an extra $10,000 per month on SEO – what can they expect to see in return?
Using the PPC model it's easy to predict, you can review past performance –average cost-per-click (CPC), cost per conversion and overall ROI. But if you analyze what you spend on SEO costs in a similar way, there's no reason why you can't find your SEO CPC, CPA and ROI calculations. It's just harder to predict the uplift in organic traffic generated via SEO activity and to put a long-term value on this – whereas in PPC, when the budget dries up, so does your traffic.
If you assess budgets in a consistent way to the PPC model, you may find that it costs you $1.00 per click on PPC and your equivalent SEO CPC is $0.50. So then you know you should invest more in SEO!
Alternatively, if SEO is more expensive than PPC – put your budget where it works better for you in paid search instead. But at least it's a balanced analysis.
One of the major problems with SEO budgets is that no one knows how much they should be spending, whereas in PPC we track ROI so closely that we can scale campaigns to the point that you're squeezing as much profit/revenue out of a campaign as possible. With SEO we're not quite there yet.
7 Step Process to Measuring SEO Like PPC
In order to ensure that you're measuring SEO as closely as possible – I would recommend clearly defining your clients business goals. And then looking to measure these using a similar method to the paid search model, as follows:
1. Analyze Organic Traffic Valuation as a Potential PPC Media Spend Cost
This is based on multiplying actual organic search traffic with paid search cost-per-click values (ideally at keyword level) in order to calculate the media spend value of traffic if it were to be paid for (at CPC prices).
2. Calculate the Revenue Value of SEO
This then takes things a step further for e-commerce sites, by applying conversion rate and average order value figures to calculate the value of that traffic in terms of predicted revenue generated.
3. Competitor Gap Analysis
Figure out where you stack up against your competitors. Perform keyword research analysis for a set of key terms, using tools such as Hitwise, SearchMetrics or SEM Rush to find out which keywords competitors are getting traffic from.
4. Potential Market Share
Start to analyze the market more closely. Using tools such as Linkdex you can compare current rankings, predicted traffic levels (calculated with average CTRs) and the total value of clicks (at PPC media spend prices).
From this, you can accurately estimate how much traffic your competitors are getting, the media spend value, and predicted revenue. That gives you a clear picture of the market and the share that you own versus your competitors – giving you a great way to highlight the potential revenue you can generate from search.
5. Make it Actionable
Using tools such as the Webmaster Tools report in Google Analytics, you can now view organic search in a similar way to PPC. This will show you not only the volume of clicks generated, but also impressions, average position and CTRs too.
You can get a clear idea about the potential traffic that is available and how you can make actionable improvements towards hitting targets. Plus it's one of the best ways around the "(not provided)" SSL search issue that we have available at the moment.
6. Categorise SEO Keywords Into Ad Group Buckets
Break keywords down into categories to make this more manageable (in a similar way to how adgroups work in AdWords). This means that you now know what your targets are, which key areas you need to improve, and where the most potential value of traffic is available.
This leads into creating a project plan to help you achieve these goals, analyzing the top ranking sites for these terms and asking do they have:
- Better/more content
- Stronger/higher volume of links
- Better on-site SEO
- Etc.
Once you have this information, you can put together a prioritized action plan to measure performance and help you close that gap between competitors.
7. The SEO Forecast
Once you've analyzed the market in full and have an action plan to take your SEO strategy to the next level, you can then look to forecast potential improvements. One way to do this is by providing these three levels of predictions to try to set expectations on the targeted success of a campaign:
- Optimistic
- Realistic
- Pessimistic
This should be based on your assessments of the SEO improvements available and market potential to increase results.
The End Result
When you look at things this way, it's easier to justify budgets and there's more scope for scaling spend if your SEO campaign is working well. Likewise, by making performance more transparent in this way, it also highlights poor performance quickly too – so it will put the pressure on – so just make sure you get great results!

Linear prediction is a mathematical operation where future values of a discrete-time signal are estimated as a linear function of previous samples.
In digital signal processing, linear prediction is often called linear predictive coding (LPC) and can thus be viewed as a subset of filter theory. In system analysis (a subfield of mathematics), linear prediction can be viewed as a part of mathematical modelling or optimization.
The prediction model Edit
The most common representation is
- $ \widehat{x}(n) = -\sum_{i=1}^p a_i x(n-i)\, $
where $ \widehat{x}(n) $ is the predicted signal value, $ x(n-i) $ the previous observed values, and $ a_i $ the predictor coefficients. The error generated by this estimate is
- $ e(n) = x(n) - \widehat{x}(n)\, $
where $ x_n $ is the true signal value.
These equations are valid for all types of (one-dimensional) linear prediction. The differences are found in the way the parameters $ a_i $ are chosen.
For multi-dimensional signals the error metric is often defined as
- $ e(n) = ||x(n) - \widehat{x}(n)||\, $
where $ ||.|| $ is a suitable chosen vector norm.
Estimating the parameters Edit
The most common choice in optimization of parameters $ a_i $ is the root mean square criterion which is also called the autocorrelation criterion. In this method we minimize the expected value of the squared error E[e2(n)], which yields the equation
- $ \sum_{i=1}^p a_i R(i-j) = -R(j), $
for 1 ≤ j ≤ p, where R is the autocorrelation of signal xn, defined as
- $ \ R(i) = E\{x(n)x(n-i)\}\, $
where E is the expected value. In the multi-dimensional case this corresponds to minimizing the L2 norm.
The above equations are called the normal equations or Yule-Walker equations. In matrix form the equations can be equivalently written as
- $ Ra = -r,\, $
where the autocorrelation matrix R is a symmetric, circulant matrix with elements ri,j = R(i − j), vector r is the autocorrelation vector rj = R(j), and vector a is the parameter vector.
Another, more general, approach is to minimize
- $ e(n) = x(n) - \widehat{x}(n) = x(n) + \sum_{i=1}^p a_i x(n-i) = \sum_{i=0}^p a_i x(n-i) $
where we usually constrain the parameters $ a_i $ with $ a_0=1 $ to avoid the trivial solution. This constraint yields the same predictor as above but the normal equations are then
- $ \ Ra = [1, 0, ... , 0]^{\mathrm{T}} $
where the index i ranges from 0 to p, and R is a (p + 1) × (p + 1) matrix.
Optimisation of the parameters is a wide topic and a large number of other approaches have been proposed.
Still, the autocorrelation method is the most common and it is used, for example, for speech coding in the GSM standard.
Solution of the matrix equation Ra = r is computationally a relatively expensive process. The Gauss algorithm for matrix inversion is probably the oldest solution but this approach does not efficiently use the symmetry of R and r. A faster algorithm is the Levinson recursion proposed by Norman Levinson in 1947, which recursively calculates the solution. Later, Delsarte et al. proposed an improvement to this algorithm called the split Levinson recursion which requires about half the number of multiplications and divisions. It uses a special symmetrical property of parameter vectors on subsequent recursion levels.

I used https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ta … tion_Media to help me "burn" the arch iso to my usb without losing its data.
But, after I did the steps in this guide, my usb didn't boot and when I tried to mount it again (in other linux livecd), it wasn't recognizing it as a partition and in parted, there was no partition field anymore in the device (the "filesystem field is empty").
Anybody know what might be happening?
Thanks in advance.
You linked to a "talk" page not a normal wiki page. The wiki page associated with it has several different methods. Which one did you try to use? What steps did you actually take?
"UNIX is simple and coherent..." - Dennis Ritchie, "GNU's Not UNIX" - Richard Stallman
Welcome to the forum.
Why are you referencing the Talk page instead of the actual wiki article? You're not being very specific... Which method, exactly, did you use to "burn" the Arch ISO to your USB stick without losing its data? This one? And are you sure that the "archisolabel=ARCH_2012XX" was replaced part with your equivalent of "archisodevice=/dev/disk/by-uuid/47FA-4071" (for both config files)? Because the 2013 releases probably use "ARCH_201XX" instead.
I have made a personal commitment not to reply in topics that start with a lowercase letter. Proper grammar and punctuation is a sign of respect, and if you do not show any, you will NOT receive any help (at least not from me).
Oops! Sorry! I was referring to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/US … _USB_drive (yes, this one - this ctrl+c/ctrl+v confused me).
But I executed the "sed" line to replace the archisodevice. But the problem is that my device has no more fat partition.
I think dd has corrupted my device... do you know if I was supposed to resize my partition in order to have the first 440 bytes "free for mbr"?
Last edited by dowglaz (2013-02-04 16:32:50)
Hmm, I really don't remember if I wrote in the first partition or in the drive, as it's written in the red box...
But probably I wrote it in the first partition ... I was hurried I didn't read it ..
Is there a way to "recover" the data, since I just wrote in the first 440 bytes? Could dd be util to this task?
Did it overwrite your whole partition table with a new one?
If the data is still there, you might be able to recover it with Testdisk or Photorec: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fi … y#Photorec
No, there's no more partitions..
Hm, ok! I'll see it! Thanks!
If you read the TOC from that page, you'll see that there's a way to restore the drive after overwriting it with dd : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/US … _USB_drive
Then retry the "Without overwriting the USB drive" instructions, this time by paying attention to what sed replaces (which, by the way, you can also replace yourself using nano or whatever text editor), or by labeling the drive "ARCH_2013" (corresponding to the month's release number).
There's also this option: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/US … O_from_RAM
This is my favourite method. If you don't have a Windows install, instead of a *.bat file, you can use the instructions from the "Without overwriting the USB drive" section. It basically does the same thing. Have fun.

Does Bree's story dovetail perfectly with the events described in Eclipse? Or have you noticed any discrepancies?

With Eclipse alone, we are left with the impression that the Volturi allowed "Seattle" to happen, hoping for damage to the Cullens, but to actually have set them against their target, meeting without dispensing justice, is an act that completely crosses the line. Convenient tardiness is one thing, but blatant double-dealing is something else entirely. I would have thought that, had this been known, that Carlisle or Edward would have brought it up in BD, in front of the two score witnesses; they could have won without needing Alice's surprise and caused serious damage to the Volturi's credibility, seriously tarnishing their "white hats", to borrow the Romanians phrasing.
I can only conclude that, despite Bree's efforts and intentions, that Edward didn't catch those thoughts and therefore was knowledgeable only of Jane's deliberate delay, not her clandestine complicity.

Oh, I'm not saying to use it to provoke a fight, but I think there were a few key moments in Aro's show, when he was trying to take the moral high ground with the audience, that an inquiry, "if you're so concerned with protecting vampire kind, then why did Jane and members of your guard meet with the creator the newborns that were creating so much havoc in Seattle? My friends and I managed to take care of the problem, but your guard were there almost a week before hand and did nothing but encourage Victoria. How does my grand-daughter create more risk for our kind than the acts of your own guard?" Nothing to initiate a fight (as Aro couldn't afford to attack in response as it would be seen as validating Carlisle's comments), but certainly enough to quiet down the crowd of witnesses even earlier. If done early enough, it might even have prevented Irina's death.MiVidaLoca wrote:I think if the Cullens would have tried to Provoke them with old allegations that they had no proof of at the scene in BD than the Volturi would have put it down and than brought up their own allegations that the Cullens made this stuff up to try and over take the Volturi etc. etc. That's how I see it.

In my second year of high school teaching at the Academy of Communications and Technology (ACT) Charter school, I was wondering about the long term vision the ACT board had for this place I had come to love. The place where I felt like I finally had a place to grow as a teacher. There was talk amongst the teachers of starting a union, but an administrator was explaining to me how this action wouldn't fit with the new dominant paradigm at ACT. No longer was my school simply a school; it could be best understood as a food court.
As one of the longest standing charter schools in the city, ACT was uniquely positioned because they had the ability to "self-replicate" or create more "campuses" without having to get additional charters from the city. As charter management organizations chomp at the bit to dive into the Chicago public education racket, our school, as unsuccessful as it was considered by some, was extremely valuable.
With a friendly, mustachioed-smile, my administrator used his hands as visual cues to draw out the familiar layout of a food court.
Let's say you have Burger King over here. Pizza Hut in the corner. Maybe a Taco Bell. All of those restaurants are going to rent space in your food court. But they are only going to feel comfortable in certain types of food courts. If you have a union in your school than the other franchises aren't going to want to move in.
Dread bloomed in my chest as I realized how shady and ill-conceived the plan sounded. My fear was compounded by the earnestness of my administrator. He was carefully explaining the strategy like my apprehension was due to a lack of comprehension. No matter how he shifted his hands around and talked about "the best interests of our students," I couldn't arrest the thought that the whole thing was educationally unsound, and slightly immoral, but it also just seemed like a dumb idea.
After we were told that unionizing might cause members of the support staff to lose their jobs, we decided to cease unionizing. Instead we agreed to investigate an alternative teacher bargaining structure that is used in some of the state's top schools. But by the time February came around, we got word: the ACT board was pulling the plug on our operation.
A community meeting was held in the church next door. I had previously visited the pews for graduation or the day they let the students watch Obama's inauguration, but the poorly lit basement gave a funerary sense to the event. It smelled like melted funeral candles and cut flowers. Milling near the entrance were two large men in vanilla cream suits, smiling and handing out fliers for Hope Academy charter school. Their lack of ironic self-awareness was terrifying.
My administrator thanked everyone for coming out and reassured us that everyone would get to speak, but said that he would also be "respectful of people's time". Students, parents, and teachers lined up in a neat row to speak loudly and passionately about the school. About the children they had sent there. About the things they had learned at the school. About the family they felt they had there. About the few educational options there were on the west side of Chicago. About how little control they felt over a decision that affected them most of all. And there were a lot of questions. Some of them answered, some not. When the board spoke, all of the members drew from the same word bank: Student's best interests. Tough choices. Appreciation. Reality. Options. Achievement. Funding. Suspension.
The students left angrily before the board completed its ceremony. My administrator raised his hands skyward and pleaded with the children to show respect, but they were gone. The vanilla cream men rushed to dispense their recruitment fliers to the departing stampede. Shortly afterward, Bruce Rauner, the chairman of the board, the gavel was struck and the decision was official.
And that was supposed to be the end. Well, the end--not considering the long painful demise that was the Spring semester at ACT. Local charters scavenged the school for students, teachers, computers, books, desks, even our building. Once we left, we thought that would be the end of our school.
Until about a month ago.
Buried in a Chicago Tribune story about a school board update about "district reorganization" was this note:
The district also is furthering its long-standing practice of merging underused or underperforming schools into facilities occupied by existing schools. CPS proposes:In the words of Bernie Mack: Sommamaabiiich
Moving the Academy of Communications and Technology into a shared building with Nash Elementary. ACT is a charter school that was closed last year because of academic and financial concerns, but it is reopening next year under the management of KIPP, a nationally recognized charter operator.
What that means is the school will open again in the Fall under KIPP, a national charter management group. If ACT holds true to its food court dictate than the new school will likely have little in common with the structure and culture of its namesake. The only thing that is sure to survive is the entity's ability to self-replicate.
Although I loved my school, it was by no means perfect. Maybe it was best that the school closed if there wasn't enough money or we weren't helping students achieve up to expectations. But something feels downright sinister about the reopening. During the closing meeting, all the people in suits kept using the word suspension to describe what was going on. Like they had already moved on to plan B, which didn't involve most of the people in the room.
And that's the way public education is being transformed now. It's people in suits, armed with word banks and multi-colored graphs, making decisions for communities that have little to no voice in the matter. Without that input, these new/old schools will be doomed to replicate the failures that came before them.
**Bruce Rauner Update: It's worth mentioning that Bruce Rauner was the Chairman of the Board of ACT school. In exchange for a donation to the school, he took a controlling stake in the fate of the school. After he deemed the school untenable, he made the decision to close the school.

The lack of information regarding Italian casualties on September 11, 2001 has prompted one anonymous Internet user to conduct his own investigation. The main target of his campaign to recognize Italian deaths on 9/11 has been AVITER, the Italian Association of Victims of Terrorism.
While the AVITER website has a page dedicated to Italian victims of international terrorism, it only recently added a note alluding to the 9/11 attacks. An entry for September 11, 2001 reads (in Italian): "We are in the process of verifying the names of Italian victims of the World Trade Centre: 10 Italians and 270 Italian-Americans."
It remains unclear why there is so much mystery concerning the names of the Italian 9/11 victims. According to an article that appeared in the Italian newspaper La Stampa, then-Foreign Minister Renato Ruggiero revealed that there were 37 victims of Italian-origin who died in the attacks. He goes on to claim that (translated from Italian), "the names should remain top-secret because that is what the Americans want."
Foreign Minister Ruggiero explained that of the 37 victims, 27 had dual passports and 10 had solely Italian passports. This could be where the oft-quoted number of 10 victims comes from, but it excludes the 27 other victims with dual citizenship.

Hurricanes Katrina and Rita (http://hurricanehelpforschools.gov/)
This week, to streamline the process for getting furniture and other supplies to schools affected by the recent hurricanes, Secretary Spellings announced the Furniture for Schools Task Force. This task forceconsisting of the U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Department of Defense's Defense Logistics Agency, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the General Services Administration (GSA)allows federal agencies to combine resources and expertise to quickly provide surplus bookshelves, cabinets, computers, desks, and room dividers to schools in devastated areas. Already, the task force has arranged for nearly 1,100 desks to go to school districts in the hardest hit areas of Louisiana and Mississippi. "Across this country, we are seeing families, schools, and communities open their hearts and doors to children displaced by the hurricanes," the Secretary said. "We are committed to doing everything we can to help local communities provide educational opportunities for these children. The Furniture for Schools Task Force will ensure that surplus federal government property is made available...." For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2005/11/11012005.html.
Also, the Department's Hurricane Help for Schools web site (http://hurricanehelpforschools.gov/) continues to make solid "matches" (as of November 1, 420!) between schools requesting supplies and companies and organizations looking to help, and the Department is working continuously to stay in contact with governors, Chief State School Officers, state education agencies, and districts to identify schools' needsparticularly those without electricity or Internet access.
NCLB Update (http://www.nochildleftbehind.gov/)
Last month, the Department granted the Chicago Public Schools the flexibility to serve as a supplemental educational services provider, even though the district has been identified in need of improvement and thus, under No Child Left Behind, would normally be prohibited from providing its own tutoring program. This month, the Council of the Great City Schools announced negotiations are underway to grant similar flexibility to six additional districts: New York City, Los Angeles, Boston, Memphis, Anchorage, and Dayton (OH). If approved, these systems would become part of the agency's pilot program aimed at boosting participation rates, improving student achievement, and enhancing the effectiveness of supplemental services. Up to 10 systems are expected to benefit. For more information, please go to http://www.cgcs.org/pdfs/UE-October%2005.pdf (page 4).
Epitomizing the breadth of constituencies touched by the No Child Left Behind Act, Secretary Spellings, over the last two weeks, addressed Davidson College (NC) students (http://www.ed.gov/news/speeches/2005/10/10222005.html), administrators and school board members in her home state of Texas, with an emphasis on helping students with disabilities (http://www.ed.gov/news/speeches/2005/10/10312005.html), and American Indian tribal and community leaders assembled in Oklahoma (http://www.ed.gov/news/speeches/2005/10/10312005a.html). Then, yesterday, Deputy Secretary Ray Simon helped Education Trust honor five high-performing and gap-closing schools (http://www2.edtrust.org/NR/rdonlyres/115A9682-B860-4ED9
-8D5E-082523FB99F6/0/2005ConferenceBook.pdf, pages 21-25).
IDEA Anniversary
The next "Education News Parents Can Use" (November 15, 8:00-9:00 ET) broadcast will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act, which later became the Individuals with Disabilities Education, or IDEA, Act. Today, thanks to this legislation, a growing majority of children with disabilities are being educated in their neighborhood schools and in regular classrooms alongside their non-disabled peers; high school graduation rates and employment rates among youth with disabilities have increased dramatically; and postsecondary enrollment among individuals with disabilities continues to rise. Yet, with the advent of No Child Left Behind and the recent reauthorization of IDEA, a "new era" in special education has commencedone that does not seek to meet minimum requirements but rather embraces increased academic achievement and real results for every child. Consequently, the program will profile researched-based, early identification and intervention initiatives, as well as showcase successful inclusion programs in schools. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/news/av/video/edtv/. (You can watch live and archived webcasts at http://www.connectlive.com/events/ednews/.)
Recognition Weeks
Three worthwhile recognition periods are scheduled for the next two weeks:
National Veterans Awareness Week (November 6-12) encourages schools to invite veterans into their classrooms in the days leading up to and following Veterans Day (November 11). Veterans are asked to share their experiences and teach students lessons about the history and significance of Veterans Day, helping students reflect upon the importance of the ideals of liberty, freedom, and democracy. For more information, please go to http://www.va.gov/vetsday/. (Note: A school kit is posted at http://www.va.gov/opa/vetsday/schoolkit.htm.)
American Education Week (November 13-19), co-sponsored by the Department and 12 other organizations, celebrates teachers and school staff. The 2005 theme, "A Strong America Starts with Great Public Schools," highlights the importance of bringing together the community in a united effort to build great public schools. As part of the week, support staff (teachers' aides, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, janitors, etc.) will be honored on Wednesday and substitute teachers will be honored on Friday. For more information, please go to http://www.nea.org/aew/.
International Education Week (November 14-18) recognizes the importance of educating students about people and nations throughout the world in preparing students to live in a diverse and tolerant society and succeed in a global economy. This year marks the sixth annual commemoration of the week, jointly sponsored by the Departments of Education and State. For more information, please go to http://iew.state.gov/. (Note: Individuals and institutions are encouraged to view and submit activities at http://iew.state.gov/events.htm.)
Youth Initiative
On October 27, First Lady Laura Bush convened the White House Conference on Helping America's Youth at Howard University in Washington, D.C. More than 500 parents, educators, civic leaders, faith-based and community service providers, foundations, researchers, and experts in child development gathered to discuss various problems facing America's youth and proven solutions in overcoming those challenges. And, during the event, the First Lady unveiled the Community Guide to Helping America's Youth (http://guide.helpingamericasyouth.gov/), a web-based guide with up-to-date research on youth development and effective programs. For more information, please go to http://www.helpingyouthconference.org/. (You can watch the entire conference at http://www.helpingyouthconference.org/webcast.htm.)
Digest of Education Statistics
The 2004 edition of the "Digest of Education Statistics" is the 40th in a series of publications. Its primary purpose is to provide a compilation of statistical information covering the broad field of American education, from pre-kindergarten through graduate school, drawn from both government and private sources, but especially from surveys and other activities carried out by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). For example, the publication contains information on the number of schools and colleges, teachers, enrollments, and graduates, in addition to educational attainment, finances, federal funds for education, libraries, technology, and international comparisons. Supplemental information on population trends, education attitudes, characteristics of the labor force, and government finances provides background for evaluating education data. For more information, please go to http://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d04/.
Note: Major evaluation reports by the Department's Office of Planning, Evaluation, and Policy Development, including a new cross-cutting study on single-sex education, are compiled at http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/opepd/ppss/reports.html.
Quote to Note
"If it's Halloween, it must be time to scare the children. This time, the bogeyman is testing. Critics claim it's a trick and that high schools should keep the treatstaxpayer dollarswithout showing accountability for results. This is nonsense. Accountability assessments are valuable tools. They let students see the rewards of hard work, teachers intervene before problems become intractable, and parents know if their child's school is measuring up.... What is scary is an education system that keeps parents, educators, and policymakers in the dark. That's what we had before the No Child Left Behind Act."
Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings (10/20/05)
Upcoming Events
Speak Up Event 2005 is a unique, online opportunity for students and teachers to share their views on how technology is supporting the development of modern learning environmentsboth in- and out-of-school. The survey, which has already attracted over 45,000 students and 4,000 teachers, will be open through November 18. The data is used to inform local, state, and national policies and plans for education technology. For more information, please go to http://www.netdayspeakup.org/.
December 8-9, the Secretary of Education's Commission on the Future of Higher Education will hold its second meeting in Nashville, Tennessee. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/about/bdscomm/list/hiedfuture/.

Tenn. IDs more deaths under Children's Services
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Tennessee has identified nine more cases of children who died during the past two years while in the care of the state's Department of Children's Services.
The nine additional cases were uncovered as officials prepared for a federal court hearing Friday.
Republican Gov. Bill Haslam said in a statement Thursday that some of the newly-discovered cases were documented incorrectly, while others weren't documented at all, a situation he called "not acceptable."
A Nashville judge this week ordered the department to provide more detailed information about children who died or nearly died after the agency investigated reports of abuse or neglect.
The department initially produced a report containing only one line of information on the cases of 151 children who officials said had died since 2009.

Celebrating its 20-year anniversary in 2012, Eurocopter marked key achievements by evolving and expanding the company's rotorcraft product line, broadening an already extensive international industrial footprint, and continuing the development of services activities worldwide.
The year's successes underscored Eurocopter's industry leadership since its 1992 creation through a merger of the Aerospatiale and MBB helicopter divisions – later becoming a business unit of EADS.
Among the evolved rotorcraft introduced by Eurocopter in 2012 was the EC130 T2. Retaining the external lines of its popular EC130 lightweight single-engine helicopter, approximately 70 percent of the airframe structure has been modified for the EC130 T2 version.
Features of the EC130 T2 include a more powerful Arriel 2D turboshaft engine and upgraded main gearbox, an active vibration control system and the integration of a crashworthy fuel tank. Inside, the EC130 T2's cabin interior structure is redesigned with a full flat floor, while new energy-absorbing seats improve weight and balance for passenger loading; and increased maintenance accessibility is provided for the electrical and air conditioning systems. Additionally, the helicopter's cockpit is updated for enhanced man-machine interface.
Eurocopter unveiled the EC130 T2 at February's Heli-Expo exhibition in Dallas, Texas, and the initial helicopter was delivered eight months later to U.S. tour operator Maverick Aviation Group – a launch customer for this rotorcraft type.
"Enhancing our product line is an essential element in Eurocopter's strategy to maintain its competitive edge," explained Eurocopter President & CEO Lutz Bertling. "This strategy's success was demonstrated by the EC130 T2's commercial response: at its public unveiling, we already had seven launch customers who booked 105 helicopters."
In 2012, Eurocopter also pursued the flight test and certification program for its EC145 T2 – the medium-size, twin-engine EC145 family's latest evolution, with deliveries to begin in 2013. One of the most visible changes is the incorporation of Eurocopter's Fenestron® shrouded fan-in-tail rotor, while the use of FADEC-equipped Arriel 2E engines extend the helicopter's cruise speed to 134 kts. and the operating ceiling to 18,000 feet. The EC145 T2 also further improves on the EC145's comprehensive avionics by adding a four-axis dual digital autopilot as standard, and introducing Eurocopter's new family avionics solution with fully integrated large-screen flight and navigation displays.
Another "evolution" product launch in 2012 was the Super Puma AS332 C1e – a configuration of Eurocopter's 9-ton class, twin-engine helicopter that offers shorter lead times and highly competitive operational and maintenance costs. Launch customer for the AS332 C1e is Starlite Aviation Group – a company that offers a wide range of helicopter services to international clients such as United Nations agencies and NGOs.
The year marked a startup of deliveries for Eurocopter's evolved AS350 B3e version, which is powered by a Turbomeca Arriel 2D turboshaft engine with a new-generation digital FADEC, and an engine data recorder for condition monitoring. The integration of Eurocopter's dual-screen Vehicle and Engine Multifunction Display (VEMD) in the AS350 B3e's cockpit enables pilots to check primary aircraft and engine parameters in one glance – thus reducing workload and enhancing safety.
New product activity in 2012 included the maiden flight of Eurocopter's first series production EC175 – which is being developed in cooperation with Chinese industrial partner AVIC for deliveries beginning in 2013. The performance figures for this medium twin-engine helicopter have been improved from the original specifications, with a recommended cruise speed of 150 kts. – 10 kts. faster than the previous figure without affecting payload range – while the maximum cruise speed exceeds 165 kts., all at extremely low vibration levels. Eurocopter is applying the newest avionics family – "Helionix" – that meets the latest international avionics standards, and makes the EC175 the second aircraft to apply it, after the Airbus A380.
Eurocopter's development of its next-generation "X" series helicopters advanced in 2012 as well, led by the five-to-six metric ton twin-engine X4. Incorporating breakthrough technologies from Eurocopter and its supplier team, the X4 is to deliver new levels of performance and comfort, along with 20-30 percent lower operating costs per passenger than current-generation rotorcraft, and a reduction in sound levels by as much as 30 to 50 percent. The X4 will come to market in two versions: an initial configuration incorporating the majority of innovation in terms of airframe, engine, systems, rotors and maintainability, with deliveries from 2017; and the final configuration, further enhanced with a newly-designed cockpit, delivered beginning in 2020.
The X3 – Eurocopter's hybrid demonstrator equipped with a pair of turboshaft engines to power both a five-blade main rotor system and two propellers installed on short-span fixed wings – performed a seven-week U.S. demonstration tour in 2012. During its "red, white and blue" American trip, civil and military operators experienced the revolutionary flight characteristics of this high-speed, long-range aircraft as the X3 made appearances in four states from Texas to Virginia.
During 2012, Eurocopter also made important steps in expanding the company's global industrial footprint, which is part of its strategy of being close to the customers and developing a presence in key markets. It inaugurated a new Brazilian rotary-wing center of excellence, where Brazilian Armed Forces EC725 helicopters and civilian EC225 versions will be assembled. Additionally, the Eurocopter Kazakhstan Engineering joint venture is delivering EC145s assembled in Kazakhstan, and Eurocopter signed to create a completion and customization center for the Ecureuil family of light helicopters in Tianjin, China through an in-country joint venture.
Another important element of Eurocopter's leadership strategy is the growth of its international services network through development of company-operated facilities, as well as in cooperative efforts.
For training services, Africa's first full-motion helicopter flight simulator was commissioned by Eurocopter during 2012 at the SimAero training center in South Africa, making a highly capable training device available for pilots and flight engineers operating the Super Puma and similarly-compatible helicopters. In Mexico, a cooperative agreement for the training of helicopter maintenance technicians is now available at the joint training facility opened by Eurocopter de México and Turbomeca México – the first of its kind on the American continent to offer Spanish-speaking instructors.
Both training and support services were reinforced at the Singapore-based Eurocopter South East Asia subsidiary in 2012, which becomes the company's Asia-Pacific training center through an expansion that includes the installation of a Dauphin AS365 N3/N3+ full-flight simulator, along the stand-up of Dauphin-family rotorcraft maintenance, repair and overhaul capacity. For Japan, Eurocopter opened a new 150,000-square-foot facility at Kobe Airport for maintenance, repair, overhaul and engineering services capable of handling up to 120 aircraft per year.
An example of Eurocopter's helicopter upgrade capabilities in 2012, was the hand over to the UK Ministry of Defence of the first Puma Mk2 medium battlefield helicopter, which is being improved by the company in a life extension program; while deliveries began during the year of Eurocopter-upgraded CH-53GA transport helicopters to Germany's armed forces.

Importing Canadian Vehicles to the U.S.
Ok, I have a honda but it should be the same I hope, I gotta get to new westminster and drive it here soon, uh what a long drive, thanks for the reply!0
Oh what form did you download? hs-7? And what did that one scentence compliance letter from chrysler canada say on it exactly? thanks again!0
Yes, it was the hs-7 document I downloaded...but didn't need since the airport customs people had that document ready for me to fill out. And the Chrylser "letter" (which ended up coming from the Michigan customer service dept. and not Canada after all) simply stated: The vehicle model, year and vin number and that it was compliant with U.S. safety standards. One sentence and one document that had one box to check off...was all I needed. No expensive changes to the speedometer or odometer were required...even thought the local former Canadian importer I talked to told me it would take him 8 weeks to do all the mechanical work and paper work required to import my van. Watch out for wrong information and people looking to take your money everywhere.0
Thank you for the info! I am wondering if you have to be there in person or not because I may just fax them the info so when I cross into usa from canada they will just look at the car and Im guessing they give you a piece of paper so you can register/title/get plates at az mvd?0
As I understand it....if you are entering the U.S. as a legal resident...with either citizenship or resident status...you can fill out the import documents at the time you cross the border and then you have what you need to get your Az. license plate. I had crossed the border as a snowbird with my van...since I wasn't sure if I was going to stay longer than 6 mos. at the time. I am a U.S. citizen but lived in Alberta for more than 30 years. Finding out about the airport customs saved me a trip back to Alberta...but if your vehicle is in B.C. and you have to go get it...you should be able to accomplish the importing at the border.
I do know they require a letter of compliance with U.S. safety standards from the manufacturer and likely they will require an inspection of some kind. Talk to the customs officers at the border crossing you will go through. hope this helps!0
Janalapel, earlier you wrote:
The ONLY required document I had to provide was the letter of compliance (one sentence!!) from Chrysler Canada (actually came from Chrylser in Michigan and that took a few days of begging and faxing different numbers to get to the right department) plus the registration from Alberta.
I am in the process of "importing" a car also. I have been denied this "Letter of Compliance" from Chrysler 3 times now. I even tried to get it through Dodge since the vehicle is a Dodge Van and a "Roadtrek" model. They say they will not supply the letter to a US citizen. Can you tell me what phone numbers you called or faxed? I already paid the Ca. citizen for the Roadtrek before I found out about the customs issue and the seller will not reverse the transaction. I'm stuck. Any other help or advice you or anyone else can give me would be greatly appreciated.
I wonder if it is because I am also a permanent resident of Cn. but am a U.S. citizen...who was living in Alberta when I bought the Caravan there in 2002 (am the original owner of the van)...drove it here as a snowbird and decided to stay. .
I first contact Chrysler of Cn. but they forwarded my request for the letter of compliance to Michigan...customer service: Phone 800-992-1997 the bottom of the so-called letter contained this information:
Chrysler Group LLC CIMS 484-04-04 P.O. Box 21-8004 Auburn Hills, Mi. 48321
Letter signature "J.W.K." Senior Staff
The only information given was the vin number and that the vehicle met all U.S. federal safety and emission requirements...except labeling, in effect at the time it was manufactured.
It didn't even require an inspection.
I am not sure why this letter is so difficult to obtain. I called alot of numbers and faxed several times...finally got somebody to provide this simple statement. Went to customs at the airport and filled out the forms...same thing at Motor Vehicles.
It took weeks...but in the end took minutes! All because of that letter...and bad information from the Cn./U.S. border in Montana saying I had to re-enter the U.S. to get the right documents when they can be downloaded from the internet!!!
Hopefully being persistent will bring similar results.0
Just trying to be clear. You said you called several numbers and faxed several places before you got someone to provide the "letter". Is the number you gave me in the last reply the one that finally provided the letter?
Thanks again for any help.0
I am trying to do the same as you did.
You have now idea hope this has eased my anxiety.
Can you tell me wher to go exactly at Sky Harbour ?
Really appreciate what you have done here.

Well I did finally did get through customs. I did a lot of research on websites. There is a notation on the EPA website that all 1997 Chryslers are approved for import. Since the 1997 Roadtreck I have is a Dodge that qualified me. It was a major discussion at the border but I had a previous discussion with a woman in the border import office in Buffalo who agreed with me that I don't need the letter because of that. I had the border officer call her and they let me through, reluctantly.
Got it done......thanks again for your very helpful post0
Did customs make a copy of the compliance letter or just look at it ,or take it? Is hs-7 the only form you needed to fill out? What exactly did they do at customs? thanks!0
Did they already know your vin or did you have to fill that out on the hs-7 form? What did you tell them before you came so they were ready for you, and do you by chance have the phone # for customs in the airport?0

importkia Posts: 2I am a US citizen living in Canada. I bought a 2010 Kia Soul from a dealer new about one year ago while living in Canada. I am now moving, next week or so, back to the US and am struggling to make sure I can drive the car into Canada and "import" it to stay with me in my new residence in the US.
Kia provided a letter stating the car complies with all US EPA standards, but will not provide a letter of conformance or compliance in regards to US safety standards. Nobody can seem to tell me what is non-conforming or what modifications would be required (if any) to make it conform.0
I don't know what to say about this. Mine had a sticker on the door stating compliance with US saftey standards. But if it helps all that the border officers cared about was EPA. They never even looked at saftey.
Good Luck!0
I imported a Chevy Camaro. GM supplied a letter compliance for safety but not the epa.
So we had it tested in AZ and it passed. we took this certificate along with the gm letter of compliance to the customs in Phoenix and filed out the paper work there.
It only took around 5 minutes and we were done, they did not keep any docs.0

pamarama Posts: 1Felt I needed to post about my experience here, as I just went through this process today, with a 1999 Honda Civic, importing from Canada to the USA. I'm a Canadian citizen but permanent resident of the US for the past 8 years. I had a lot of anxiety about it, but it turned out to be a simple process As other posters mentioned, you do not need the HS-7. What you need is a letter on original letterhead from the manufacturer (in my case, American Honda, if importing a Honda manufactured in Canada into the USA). Do this in advance, as it took a few weeks to get this letter from them. I crossed the Windsor-Detroit border today with a temporary 10-day plate on the car I obtained in Ontario when the title was transferred to me (at a cost of $15). The customs officer asked me for the vehicle registration/title before even asking for my ID (a greencard, in my case), and when I planned to import the car. I said, "uh...now". I didn't realize there was an option?? Anyway, he sent me inside to fill out a form "CBP 7501" - "Entry Summary". They asked for the vehicle registration, my ID again, and gave me an explanatory form to help me fill out the form correctly. They inspected the car, had a big discussion about one ambigous line in the letter from US Honda stating the car was "non-compliant" re: instrument panel differences. (i.e. km/hr vs mph on the odometer), went out to inspect the car again, and then issued me 2 copies of the stamped, approved 7501, one for me and one for Secretary of State so I can register the car here in Mich. They were extremely courteous and helpful. As long as you have a letter from the manufacturer stating the vehicle complies with US standards, you will be ok. Make sure you have a temp plate on the car and insurance. Do your homework! Many late-model cars are importable into the USA. Expect to spend a half hour or so at customs going through the process, but they will help you through it.
Oh, and another good thing...I was charged ZERO duty on it at the border. I asked the Customs Officer what I should write under the "value" section on the form, as the car was used and a gift to me from my dad. He guesstimated $2000, but wrote $0 in the value for duty section, so I was charged no duty. He said if I had been importing a brand new Ferrari, I'd be assessed duty, but not for an older car like the Honda.
When I register the car at the Secretary of State office on Tues., they will likely charge state tax on the assessed value of $2000. I'm ok with that! :-)
Glad to see this forum here. The process of importing cars can be a bit mystifying. Just do your homework! The info is available online or with a phonecall or two. Just make sure you have your ducks in a row when you show up at Customs. They will help you with the paperwork.
Cheers! E-mail me if I can help in any way. I can relate to the confusion on this...took me months to sort it all out, but in the end, it was a process, but a smooth one.0
us_cross_honda Posts: 1It is going to happen to me as well.
I am crossing US Border at Detriot -Windsor from Canada with my Canadian Honda Civic.
I have a recall clearance letter from Canadian Honda Manufacture, and waiting for a compilance letter from US Honda Manufacture.
I don't have time to wait the compilance letter from US Honda Manufacture.
I am wondering if I cross the border without this letter or not.

nitlsu Posts: 7I have a 2005 Honda Civic that I imported from Canada to US a few years back. I did the necessary paperwork and it's registered in TX right now. Presently I am looking at selling the thing...can I do so? The speedometer and more importantly the odometer are in KMs (at least the speedometer has both units listed...not the odo though). Do I need a new odometer? Can someone who has done this whole selling process before give me some suggestions?0
tracetoba Posts: 1I recently became a permenent resident in the US living in Texas. I am working on importing my 2007 Honda Civic. The car is already in the US. When I originally drove into the US it was as a visitor so nobody inspected my car or anything for import. Now I want to be able to register and insure the car in Texas. I already have the compliance letter. I have been told I now have to take my car to a place called Wallace Labs, in Houston for testing and such, and pay $3400 to Wallace Labs before I can register the car in TX. Does anybody know if this is correct?0
rathahonni Posts: 1After trying to obtain a letter of compliance from General Motors of Canada,i was informed that they no longer issue these letters. So be advised,should u desire to register a Canadian General Motors car in the U.S.,I was forced to consult a broker that knows all the ins and outs of this process,the cost for me was 350. dollars. But lucky for me ,i am located near the Canadian Border as is the broker which made the process much easier. Money well spent for me.0
ram39 Posts: 1i bought a car from canada and i have the title and bill of sale and also i worked an getting the manufacturing letter and i have it now. My question is will the sos in us Mi give me a temporary liscense plate to go get the car from canada ?0

During the winter months the days grow colder and the nights longer causing households to use more electricity, often resulting in higher bills. Most households have no way of monitoring how much electricity is being consumed; however, researchers in Pittsburgh believe a new monitoring system may soon be available for residential use. The research is published in a special issue of Yale's Journal of Industrial Ecology on environmental applications of information and communication technology sponsored by CSC's Leading Edge Forum.
"There are many opportunities for reducing electricity consumption in buildings, but identifying and quantifying them is often very difficult, particularly in single-family homes," said Dr Mario Berges from Carnegie Mellon University. "This means that for most residents the only indicator of consumption they have is their monthly electricity bill."
Dr Berges's team analyzed non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM), a novel technique for deducing the power consumption and operational schedule of individual loads in a building from measurements of the overall voltage and current feeding it.
NILM uses a single whole-house meter, connected to software in an embedded device or computer to provide appliance-level energy metering. The system monitors the signals on electrical wires, and then uses signal processing and machine-learning algorithms to identify which device caused the change in electricity use, matching it against a library of known signatures from different devices.
Currently, residential buildings account for as much as 37 percent of the total electricity use in the United States, so a system such as NILM which provides continuous monitoring could make households greener as well as more cost effective.
Because NILM systems often require a training period during which the different appliances in the home are switched through the different modes of operation in order to populate the library of signatures, the researchers explored the idea of incorporating these steps into the typical one-time visit of residential energy auditors.
"This form of non-intrusive load monitoring may be able to provide a new type of continuous electrical auditfor residential buildings, down to the appliance level," concluded Berges. "While costs can only be estimated at this point, it is possible that the price of such a system could be similar to that of the whole-house meters currently available on the market, approximately $200 per residence."

One day, two monks were in the vaults of the monastery going through the old scrolls.
"You see, there are the originals," said the first monk. "All the new scrolls were copied from these."
"Can I see one?"
"Sure. This is one outlines the rules for monkdom--" All of a sudden, the monk's face turns white and he falls to his knees.
"What? What does it say?"
"Celebrate. IT SAYS CELEBRATE!"

Our products at HempMeds are made with Real Scientific Hemp Oil™, our full-spectrum hemp oil, carefully derived from specific cultivars of hemp that contain an abundance of CBD, as well as many cannabinoids.
Our full spectrum hemp oil contains cannabidiol (CBD), which makes up over 90% of the cannabinoid content. Other cannabinoids found in the oil include: cannabigerol (CBG), tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabinol (CBN), cannabichromene (CBC), cannabicyclol (CBL), cannabicitrol (CBT), cannabielsoin (CBE), cannabiripsol (CBR), Dehydrocannabifuran (DCBF), cannabifuran (CBF), and cannabichromanon (CBCN), cannabivarin (CBV), tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), cannabidivarin (CBDV), cannabichomevarin (CBCV), cannabigerovarin (CBGV), cannabicyclovarin (CBLV), cannabinodivarin (CBVD), cannabitriolvarin (CBTV).
Our hemp oil also contains the following cannabinoid acid forms: CBDA: Cannabidiolic Acid (CBGA) Cannabigerolic Acid, (CBGA) Cannabigerolic Acid (THCA-A), Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid A, ( THCA-C1) Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabiorcolic Acid, (THCA-C4) Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid C4, (THCA-B) Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid B, (CBCA) Cannabichromenic Acid, (CBLA) Cannabicyclolic Acid, (CBEA-A) Cannabielsoic Acid A, (CBEA-B) Cannabielsoic Acid B, (CBNA) Cannabinolic Acid, (CBGVA) Cannabigerovarinic Acid, (THCVA) Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabivarinic Acid, (CBDVA) Cannabidivarinic Acid, and (CBCVA) Cannabichromevarinic Acid.
A variety of other forms of common cannabinoids are also present in full spectrum hemp oil, including (CBD-C1) Cannabidiol-C1, (CBD-C4) Cannabidiol-C4, (THC-C1) Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabiorcol, (THC-C4) Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol C4, (CBN-C1) Cannabiorcol, (CBN-C2) Cannabinol-C2, (CBN-C4) Cannabinol-C4, (CBND) Cannabinodiol, (CBGAM) Cannabigerolic Acid Monomethyl Ether, (CBGM) Cannabigerol Monomethyl Ether, (CBDM) Cannabidiol Monomethyl Ether, (CBNM) Cannabinol Methyl Ether, (CBTVE) Ethoxy-cannabitriolvarin.
While many of these minor cannabinoids have little scientific research behind them, their presence is important in our hemp oil, as cannabinoids ingested together produce an "entourage effect": synergistic benefits that are diminished or non-existent when cannabinoids are ingested individually. Our hemp oil is normalized to offer consistent servings of CBD in each batch. With this in mind, the levels of other cannabinoids vary, though most are significantly below 1% by volume.
The most abundant cannabinoid in hemp oil, making up over 90% of the cannabinoid content, cannabidiol or CBD is non-psychoactive and is the focus of the benefits from hemp oil. CBD has little affinity for CB1 or CB2 receptors, the main points of interaction for cannabinoids in the endocannabinoid system, and instead acts as an indirect antagonist of cannabinoid agonists, possibly allowing CBD to temper the high caused by THC. Our Gold Label RSHO™ is almost 25% CBD, making up most of oil's weight. All other cannabinoids come in under 0.4% by weight.
Other forms present in our oil include:
Cannabigerol is known as the stem cell cannabinoid for its role as a precursor to other cannabinoids found in hemp and marijuana. Previously overlooked as a significant cannabinoid, the role of CBG is becoming better understood, and companies like Medical Marijuana, Inc.'s AXIM® Biotechnologies are starting to research its potential. Because most CBG is transformed into other cannabinoids like CBD or THC by the cannabis plant, natural CBG levels are low in most processed cannabis plants.
Other forms present in our oil include:
Tetrahydrocannabinol is the most abundant cannabinoid in most medical and recreational marijuana strains. However, in hemp THC is a minor constituent and appears only in trace amounts under 0.3% by dry weight, as required by the U.S. government for hemp products. THC mimics the action of anandamide, a neurotransmitter naturally produced in the human body, and binds to CB1 receptors in the endocannabinoid system found mostly in the brain. The extremely low levels of THC in hemp make hemp oil non-psychoactive and safe for all ages to use.
Other forms present in our oil (in minor amounts) include:
Cannabinol results from the degradation of THC. There is little of it in the fresh plant, but decarboxylation often raises the amount of CBN in the plant as an effect. CBN is only mildly psychoactive and has a higher affinity for the CB2 receptor than the CB1 receptor, linking CBN to the body's immune system. In hemp oil, CBN is present in levels of 0.2% or lower.
Other forms present in our oil include:
Along with the primary cannabinoids and their variants, there are a number of minor cannabinoids whose benefits have not yet been thoroughly studied. Even in low quantities, these cannabinoids interact with our native endocannabinoid system, and are present in our hemp oil.
Like THCA and CBDA, there are other pre-decarboxylated forms of cannabinoids present in cannabis. Once exposed to heat, light, or alkaline conditions, these cannabinoids lose a carbon atom and take their common form. These cannabinoids are present in our raw forms of oil that have not been decarboxylated.
These cannabinoids differ in length from common cannabinoids, replacing the typical 5 carbon chain with a 3 carbon chain. These cannabinoids can also be found in small amounts in our full-spectrum hemp oil.

Artist Jeremy Penn
24"h x 36"w
Mirror-polished Stainless Steel, Spray Paint, and Collage on Panel
The most recent collection aptly titled, Evolution & The Ego by New York-based Artist, Jeremy Penn, will be exhibited at the Scope Fair during Miami Basel this December 2014. This is a captivating group of work that has become a complete turning point in Penn's career. Jeremy is passionately intrigued by the role sex plays in shaping the dynamic between men and women. Whether it is the initial gaze, praise, attention or recognition, these are all strong components of how a woman's dominance can affect a male ego nor only in bed, but in all aspects of life. This series is his exploration of dominance and the pathways that led America to the Sexual Revolution of the 1960's.In this collection, Jeremy's mixed media work combines materials such as vintage 40's, 50's and 60's magazines, powerful word plays and mirrors to successfully and simultaneously shows the inner, raw sexual psyche combined with the slick mirrored shell surface as the outer sexual gaze. Approaching his work you are enveloped by the awareness of yourself from peering into the mirror, discovering the inner raw material, which is exploring your own ego.

Jennifer Lopez might be one of the reasons the Grammys instated a new dress code in the first place (remember that plunging green Versace gown from 2000?!). But she's still looking sexy as ever for tonight's red carpet.
"They didn't say anything about leg!" J.Lo said about her slit-up-to-there Anthony Vaccarello ensemble. "I thought I was being such a good girl! A little shoulder, a little leg."
As for the new rules (which ban "female breast nipples" and "buttocks"), Jennifer explained to our very own Ryan Seacrest, "I think they intended to not have what they said. Did you read the memo?"
She continued, with a laugh, "It mentioned things I don't say around my house or my children!'
