Zativo caters to private customers only, and does not supply commercial or industrial growers with large amounts of cannabis seeds. If we have reason to suspect that the ordered seeds are destined for growing cannabis on a larger-than-private scale, we reserve the right to dismiss that specific order.
Medical Marijuana contains over 400 different chemical compounds, of which 80 of them are only found in cannabis. These 80 compounds are known as cannabinoids, they attach to receptors in the brain and spine to induce the effects associated with cannabis.
There are 5 major cannabinoids that help relieve the symptoms of medical conditions. These are THC, CBD, CBN, CBC and CBG. Each strain of medical marijuana has a different composition of these cannabinoids in order to achieve different effects – making each strain more suitable to the treatment of specific conditions. For example, at the top level, even the governing families of cannabis have naturally different levels of each cannabinoid; with sativas often being better for treating psychological conditions and indicas being better for more psychical.
THC is the most famous cannabinoid present in any cannabis. It stands for delta-9-tetrahydrocannibinol. THC acts as a mental stimulant as well as a muscle relaxant and anti-inflammatory. It is often the most abundant cannabinoid to be found within sativa strains. Hence their predominantly cerebral effect.
CBD is the most prominent cannabinoid associated with the sedative effects of marijuana. It stand for cannabidiol. CBD actually cancels out the psychoactive effects of THC, meaning that strains with a high CBD content rarely induce a cerebral high. CBD reduces the effects of pain, anxiety and nausea. As mentioned it is sedative and induces what is known as being "stoned", this is why indica strains are often prescribed for pain and anxiety ect – they are known to have high CBD content.
CBN is an analgesic, meaning it reduces the effect of pain. It stands for cannabinol (which is deceptively similar to the full name of CBD). CBN is a result of the breakdown of THC within the cannabis plant and strains with high THC make the effects of CBN stronger. In addition to being an analgesic, it is also associated with having anti-seizure and relieving eye pressure.
CBC enhances the effects of THC, making strains with high THC much more potent. It stands for cannabichromene. When used together with THC it also acts as a pain relief and anti-inflammatory.
CBG has a purely physical effect, with no psychoactive properties being present. It stands for cannabigerol and is not usually found in very significant amounts within medical marijuana. CBG is associated with the drowsiness that comes with the sedative effects of cannabis, it also acts as an anti-inflammatory and helps to relieve eye pressure.
Most medical marijuana strains will have all 5 cannabinoids to one degree or another. Whilst it is THC and CBD that are the most famous and most present, it is the combination of all 5 that will induce the effects medical users are looking for to maximum efficiency – each of these cannabinoids are much less effective when used by individually. Of the 5, CBN, CBC and CBG are often found in comparatively small amounts to THC and CBD.

Avoiding disputes is a key to successful estate planning.
Estate planning can often sound confusing but there are four things that are often important to understand in order to give your family peace of mind, according to NewsGram in "4 Things You Must Know About Estate Planning."
Estate planning focuses on planning for how an individual's assets will be preserved, managed and distributed after their death. It also addresses how the person's financial life, including their property, is to be managed, in the event they become incapacitated because of an accident or an illness.
The core of estate planning while you are living is to protect your assets, protect your estate from having to pay unnecessary taxes and protects you and your wishes, if you are incapacitated or pass away. Here are four key things everyone should keep in mind while preparing their estate plan.
Age should not be a factor. Anyone who is of legal age and owns anything has an estate. An estate refers to anything of value that you own. It does not mean a $10 million mansion. A home, a car, bank accounts, retirement accounts and personal possessions make up an estate, regardless of their size or value. Once you have assets, you need an estate plan. We don't know when we are going to die, but we can be sure that if you have no estate plan, the state will determine who receives your assets. You may want to make those decisions for yourself. That's what an estate plan does.
You need an estate planning attorney. Estate planning crosses into several different legal practice areas. Asset management, tax planning, real estate, guardianship and other areas need to be addressed by a legal professional who understands how these elements all work together. An estate planning attorney has a professional responsibility to help you document your wishes for incapacity and death.
However, they do more than that. The estate planning attorney will help you fine-tune your wishes, gain clarity on what you want to happen during life and death, and translate that into the legal language.
Planning helps avoid or minimize probate. Depending on where you live, probate can be a simple process or one that takes a long time. The estate planning attorney will help you plan to pass your assets to your spouse or the next generation to avoid going through the court process known as probate. This is a process of authenticating your will, verifying that the assets in the will are correctly named, paying off any outstanding tax balances and approving the distribution of the assets.
An estate plan works to minimize family squabbles. Disagreements over estates, including personal possessions as well as money, routinely tears families apart. You don't have to be wealthy or even a celebrity to have a family that is fractured over a misunderstanding or someone feeling like they were not treated fairly. This is another area where an experienced estate planning attorney can help bring you through the process of distributing assets.
An estate planning attorney can advise you on creating an estate plan that fits your unique circumstances and can help avoid acrimony.

Recently, a press release from Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City landed in my e-mail inbox. "Students with Humanities Background Equally Successful in Medical School as Traditional Students", the headline read.
The press release summarized the findings of a study published in the August issue of Academic Medicine. David Muller, MD, and Nathan Kase, MD, reviewed data on the Mount Sinai graduating classes from 2004 through 2009. The study involved 691 students, 85 of whom were in what's known as the Humanities and Medicine (HuMed) program.
Kase established the HuMed program in 1987 when he was dean of the medical school and shortly after publication of a report by the Association of American Medical Colleges recommending broadening undergraduate preparation for med school and revamping admissions requirements.
Kids enter the HuMed program in sophomore or junior year of college majoring in one of the humanities, not pre-med or any of the hard sciences. They do not take organic chemistry, physics, or calculus. Nor do they take the MCAT. Admission to Mount Sinai is guaranteed as long as they maintain a 3.5 GPA and get at least a B in biology and general chemistry. After their junior year, students spend a summer semester at Mount Sinai that includes a clinical rotation and some classwork.
Holy cow! Talk about diluting the requirements for a medical degree.
That had to be the sentiment at the time Kase set up the program, and I'm not at all sure the results of the current study will be accepted with any less rancor from the ranks of physicians who did have to struggle through all those mind-numbing hard science courses.
Kind of like the response to shortened hours for residents — "If I had to do it, they should have to do it."
But do organic chemistry, physics, and calculus make for better doctors? Does the MCAT truly predict success in med school or, even more importantly, in the practice medicine?
Evidently not, according to Muller and Kase. In looking at the 2004 through 2009 graduates, they analyzed knowledge of basic science, performance on a clerkship, humanism, leadership, community service, research fellowships, distinctions, and honors awarded and concluded that the HuMed students "performed at a level equivalent to their premedical classmates."
Yes, there were some differences, For instance, HuMed students were more likely to have lower scores in Step 1 of the United States Medical Licensing Examination (P=0.0039) and to take a leave of absence (P=0.0001), but they were significantly more likely to "secure a scholarly-year mentored project."
So, should other medical schools adopt such a program? Will doing so weaken the profession? Make for doctors who lack a solid grounding in the basic sciences?
Well, the HuMed students have to take bio and general chemistry and, let's be honest, unless you're going into research isn't that mostly all you need?
It may be all the country needs right now. HuMed students showed a trend toward residencies in primary care and psychiatry. Although we may not need a lot more psychiatrists, we certainly need more primary care physicians.
I, for one, would rather have a primary care physician who knows history or can argue the relative merits of various political systems and can relate to people than one who aced calculus and can't look me in the eye or understand why I might be emotionally upset about symptoms that could presage a serious cardiac condition.

God cares.– Everything that God does in our lives is to strengthen us and prepare us for heaven.
Our verse of reference in Job 5 is:
""Blessed is the one whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty." (Job 5:17 NIV).
Accept the correction and discipline of the Lord.
God corrects us for our good. – The Lord rebukes and corrects those who profess to keep His law. He points out their sins and presents their iniquity, because He wants to keep us away from all sin and wickedness, in order to achieve perfect holiness, and be prepared to die in the Lord or be taken to Heaven. God rebukes and corrects, to refined, sanctified, elevate, and finally to exalt us to his throne 2 CT 402. Just as parents warn their children, also our heavenly Father corrects to straighten what is astray. Let us be grateful to God, for His admonition and correction is for salvation: Blessed is the man whom thou, Lord, chasten, and teaches him out of thy law Ps 94:12.
Accept divine discipline. – The discipline that God gives encompasses a variety of areas: a) discipline over time to optimize the opportunities presented, b) Discipline in the familiar, to correct the parents or children, c) Discipline through scarcity, in order to value every cent, d) Discipline with a broken health, to learn to eat properly or to practice temperance e) discipline through testing, to learn to depend on God, f) Discipline through failure, to be humble and dependent on God .
Loving God, thank you that you are interested in us, help us to glorify you with our bodies, mind and soul. We ask that you correct and discipline us to become pure and testify of your saving grace. We want to enjoy eternity in your presence. In the name of Jesus, amen.

Throughout their history together (doTb - Darren Joyce and Justin Wiggan) have in their expansive body of work sought meaning into noise and organized sound and the architecture of space. They physiologically respond to a neural processes in unwanted sounds and noise pollution during their collaborations, beating out found samples as psychological reflections of their subconscious which at times are wired together through a practiced incubation period , with the intention of cultivating new sound scapes. doTb can block, distort, or change/interfere with the meaning of a message in their music so don't look for one. This demarcation problem in the philosophy of their work draws the lines around the boundaries are commonly drawn between art and music.
After over a decade of dialogue between the artists, doTb are flickering between both senses of sound and vision, Dreams of Tall Buildings swan dive into atmospheric and tempestuous epics that bleed through collages of samples and organic treatments. They furrow through harsh minimalist noise that tests the listener's patience to the limit. Combinations of guitars, grand pianos, percussive typewriters and a broken web of shattered loops and electronic sine waves that fire and implode into complex textures and unusual time signatures stabbing your ears with plunderphonic organised chaos.
"Like Stan Getz stabbing Miles Davis in a floatation tank!"

A good roof is as symbolic as it is practical. By protecting a home or business, it is also protecting a person's livelihood. By hiring reputable Roofers in Olympia WA, people can rest assured their home is protected with a sound roof. Here are some tips to help people achieve security and tranquility when contemplating roof repair.
* Check the condition of the roof. Keeping a roof in top condition can benefit a person in many ways. Retaining its strength enables the roof to withstand the elements, including everything from rain, tree branches, the sun's intense rays, and even damaging hail.
* Protect the attic. Isolated, yet adequate attic ventilation can prevent damage caused by water while saving energy.
* Start with a solid foundation. Homeowners need to ensure the roof is solid before installing new shingles. Roofers in Olympia WA can tell if the base of a roof is ready for installation.
* Check flashings. Ensuring that flashings are installed correctly will allow people to avoid damage caused by water, especially around vents and chimneys.
* Clean gutters. Make sure to routinely clean the home's gutters and make sure every gutter slopes downward, as this helps with drainage.
Finding a leak in the roof can be the hardest part of repairing a leaky roof. Finding the exact spot where water is entering the roof is difficult because water can enter one place and travel to another easily. For instance, a leaky roof may be caused by a hole in the top of the roof, but owners see moisture and water in the corner. If a leak is discovered, never ignore it. The goal is to find the leak and repair it as soon as possible. If you can get into the attic, start by looking on a rainy day. Water tends to reflect light, so make sure to have a flashlight handy. Once the leak is found, mark the area.
If waiting for rain isn't a viable option, consider using the garden hose. Let the water run over the roof one area at a time. After determining the location of the leak on the outside of the roof, apply roofing cement or put new tiles down. For more information, contact Weatherguard Roofing Inc today.

If a vehicle is not able to start but it needs to be moved, a car dolly can be used as a method of moving it around. They act as wheel skates and once you have jacked each wheel onto a dolly, it is far easier to move the car to the position where it needs to be. Wheel dollies are known for lifting and moving heavy vehicular wheels. The wheels lifted by a dolly may be separate, or in pairs, and may be fixed to a vehicle. When all the wheels of a vehicle are lifted, if the dollies have their own caster wheels, the entire vehicle may be moved easily. Dollies are very easy to use. Simply position the tire in between the rails, and use the foot pump to bring the rails closer together. Wheel dollies allow one person to easily reposition the vehicle. This wheel dolly system will have one frame with four trolley wheel, hydraulic and ratchet mechanism is used which will help to lift up the vehicle wheels from the ground and after placing this dolly below the wheels one can move or park the car easily.

California Guess Outlet Stores Deceptive Pricing Settlement Notes
- In Re Guess Outlet Stores Pricing
- Case No. JCCP NO. 4883
- Pending in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, Central Civil West
Plaintiffs Versil Milton and Shiloh Borsh brought this class action lawsuit claiming Guess uses fake reference prices at its outlet factory stores.
Specifically the plaintiffs allege that Guess "misled consumers by advertising items at discounted prices by placing tags on its products sold at its California outlet locations that provide consumers with an item's alleged "retail price" and then selling the items at a price lower than the represented "retail price."
California law prohibits advertising goods for sale as discounted from former prices, when in fact, such representations are false and misleading. Basically, if the purported advertised retail price never existed or if the item was not sold at that price for three months preceding the discounted price, it is a violation of California's consumer protection laws.
Guess says the claims are without merit and despite settling the case, maintains they did not engage in any unlawful conduct with regard to their outlet stores' pricing practices. Complete details about the case and settlement are provided on the Guess Outlet Stores Deceptive Pricing Settlement website.

Stage Presence...
the occasional thoughts of a theater fan
Tony Talk
The 2013-14 Broadway season officially ended on April 24, 2014, and nominations for this season's Tony Awards were announced April 29, 2014 (shows with official Opening Nights on Broadway by April 24 were eligible for the 2014 awards). This year there were 40 productions eligible, including musicals and plays, new works and revivals. The earliest eligible production, the new musical, First Date, opened in July '13, and the last show to open this season was the revival of Cabaret, which squeaked in on April 24 '14.
But of those forty eligible shows, nearly half opened in the last eight weeks of the season. As with the Academy Awards, Broadway shows that open early in the season (in this case, the fall time frame), are always at risk of being off the radar by the time nominations are announced. This is particularly true for shows that don't turn out to be commercial successes, and close before the awards season ramps up.
Take for example, this season's stage musical adaptation of the 2003 film, Big Fish. The cast and creative team associated with the show included some big names in the Broadway world, and it seemed as if it would have wide appeal. But when Big Fish opened in early October, it was not well received by the critics, and closed before the end of December. Personally, I loved this show. It was a family show that had whimsy, fantasy, grand production numbers, and a clever scenic design, along with some memorable songs. I have friends that are passionate in their love for the show. And in my book, if you can elicit big laughs and open weeping in equal measure, from all manner of audience member, you've done something right. In the end though, the show received not a single nomination. Big Fish wasn't alone; twelve other shows went similarly unrecognized in any category; including the production of Romeo and Juliet starring Orlando Bloom, the revival of Betrayal starring Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz and the pairing of the "Sirs," Ian McKellan and Patrick Stewart in Waiting for Godot and No Man's Land.
One of the hot button issues this season is the slate of nominees for the Best Musical category. The committee can nominate between three and five shows for the award, and this year four were chosen: After Midnight, Beautiful The Carole King Musical, Aladdin and The Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder. I saw all four of these shows, and enjoyed each of them.
Gentleman's Guide received the most nominations of any show this season (10), and all four received multiple nominations. But I'm particularly thrilled that Gentleman's Guide and Beautiful are on the list. Gentleman's Guide was truly one of my very favorite shows over the past few years, and I think it richly deserves all its accolades. It's funny, charming, has remarkable performances (one of the leads plays 8 different characters!), a great set and a great score. I've been recommending Gentleman's Guide to anyone who'll listen since I first saw it in October, because it has broad appeal, and is suitable for most ages (10+).
Beautiful, on the other hand, is a show with the great Carole King's unforgettable music, and the fascinating story of her life and history in the music industry. Beautiful's ace in the hole is Jessie Mueller, who is near flawless in her role as Carole, spanning three decades (Jessie was justly nominated as Best Actress in a Musical). I know people of varying ages who have loved this show, my fifteen year old niece among them; and it's great to be able to share such amazing music across generations in this setting.
So here's the issue: of the four nominees for Best Musical, only one has a completely original score, and that's Gentleman's Guide. The other three rely almost exclusively on music not written for the Broadway stage. However, there were several other musicals eligible, all with original musical scores, that were not nominated in the Best Musical category; most notably, If/Then, The Bridges of Madison County and Rocky.
Unlike for films, there is no DVD market for stage shows after they close, so the lack of the big nominations at Tony time can spell doom for a show, as the financial commitment required to keep it running is huge. Based on today's announcement, if you are hoping to see The Bridges of Madison County, for example, I'd suggest you make the effort to see it sooner rather than later, as the scarce nominations it received (and generally low ticket sales) may make it a candidate for an earlier closing date.
In fact, the 2014 nominations announcement claimed its first victim the same day: The Velocity of Autumn, a new play starring Estelle Parsons, which just opened April 21, 2014, received just one nomination (for Ms. Parsons in the acting category), and announced it will close May 4. Even if a show that has already closed does receive nominations at Tony time, it doesn't much help those involved financially, as there's no real chance for a reinvigorated audience appeal, as there would be for a film.
And it's not just original music that we want to encourage, it is good for Broadway, and good for audiences to encourage the development of new, original theater that strives for innovation, if we are not to be destined for endless revivals of previous favorites. Of course, revivals are to be celebrated as well (hence the separate categories for Best Revival of a Musical and Best Revival of a Play), but musicals are massive financial undertakings and can have very long development periods, so without the potential for business success and recognition, we'll see fewer risks being taken.
If/Then and Rocky are each shows that have tried to forge new ground with how we can tell stories on stage. If/Then has its lead character following two different story arcs throughout the show, and Rocky is a veritable thrill-ride of a show, with remarkable sets, and an ending like no other. From my anecdotal experience, Rocky is also one of those rare shows that is attracting a much more diverse audience, including people that I suspect wouldn't identify as "theater lovers." The audience who saw it with me was younger, skewed more male and seemed to reflect a choice for "date night," that I found encouraging. Each of these shows is approaching storytelling without the limitations we might expect the stage to present, and I believe each of them deserved a nomination in the Best Musical category.
There were some surprises (to me, anyway) in the acting categories as well. The most striking omissions, based on my personal experiences, were two well-known names starring in plays: Daniel Radcliffe was not nominated for The Cripple of Inishmaan (the play was nominated for Best Play), and Zachary Quinto was the only member of the four-person cast of The Glass Menagerie (nominated for Best Revival of a Play) not nominated for his role. I can say, without reservation, that each of these actors absolutely deserved a nomination. I'd probably also say that Denzel Washington was deserving for the wonderful (and nominated) revival of A Raisin in the Sun (three of his fellow cast members did receive nominations). That said, I'm really satisfied with those that were chosen for acting nominations; all of them were memorable. I am endlessly amazed by the abundant talent on Broadway. These actors perform eight times a week, but somehow make it seem as if they've performed that night for the first time just for you!
There is a remarkable array of theater offerings on Broadway right now. If you're planning to be in New York City this spring/summer, check some of them out. And if you want to make a spur-of-the-moment decision, don't forget that discount tickets can be found at the TKTS ticket booth in Times Square, on the day of the performance for many of the shows (even the big names!).
A complete list of the Tony Award nominations can be found on the Tony Awards website, and the 2014 Tony Awards show will be broadcast on CBS on Sunday evening, June 8, with Hugh Jackman hosting. By the way, last year's host, Neil Patrick Harris is himself a nominee this year as Best Actor in a Musical for Hedwig and the Angry Inch!

The awareness programme proposed by the UN is translated into a local issue by the students of this school. They held their hands together and formed a chain around the sacred grove (Kavu) near their school, as a symbolic gesture to protect the trees and other greenery within.
They carried placards with messages such as "say no to development that destroys forests and nature". The students also took pledge to protect trees at any cost and to plant fresh saplings.
Local MP (a union Minister) and MLA attended the function as guests in addition to teachers and local people.

Smart Home: Back to School, Shop for Layers!
Yes, it's back to school time and I'm ecstatic – and it isn't just because of the time I'll get back during the day to get things done! Back to school means autumn is soon! It's my favorite season!
Shopping these last weeks of summer for the coming months can be overwhelming, especially without a plan. You can easily get swallowed up in any clothing store in seconds by their extensive racks of clothing and accessories.
Moms, you must go with a plan. Know the number of shirts, sweaters, pants and more than you need. You don't want to make too many trips. Make that plan include layers. Graphic tees, knits and leggings are three of my favorite layers for girls! Watch below to see how to use layers this season!
Disclosure: The Children's Place provided compensation to purchase the items showcased in this video. No direction to post or vlog was given. All opinions are my own.
So do you have a tip? Share it here!

I definitely agree with having a plan. I went shopping without one and spent more than intended. Kind of like going grocery shopping when you're hungry.
Having a list (one list per child) with the amount of t-shirts, jeans, long-sleeves, etc. is a must!
I love to layer my sons summer plaid button downs with long sleeved shirts which make the summer clothes last long and I can also get great deals on the summer short sleeves and use them all yr long. Same with my daughters skirts and tanks she wears them all yr! We just layer! LOVE IT!
Layers are also a great way to extend the life of a dress. As it gets a little shorter, throw on some leggings and it can be a "long Shirt"
[…] the fall, I talked about how we need to shop smart with Back to School on the horizon – opting for layers that can help keep the little students […]

On [February 22nd, 1861], Mr. Lincoln visited the old Independence Hall, from which was originally issued the [United States] Declaration of Independence. He was received in a cordial speech by Mr. Theodore Cuyler, to which he made the following response:—
Mr. Cuyler:—I am filled with deep emotion at finding myself standing here in this place, where were collected together the wisdom, the patriotism, the devotion to principle from which sprang the institutions under which we live. You have kindly suggested to me that in my hands is the task of restoring peace to the present distracted condition of the country. I can say in return, sir, that all the political sentiments I entertain have been drawn, so far as I have been able to draw them, from the sentiments which originated in and were given to the world from this hall. I have never had a feeling, politically, that did not spring from the sentiments embodied in the Declaration of Independence. I have often pondered over the dangers which were incurred by the men who assembled here, and framed and adopted that Declaration of Independence. I have pondered over the toils that were endured by the officers and soldiers of the army who achieved that independence. I have often inquired of myself what great principle or idea it was that kept this Confederacy so long together. It was not the mere matter of the separation of the Colonies from the mother-land, but that sentiment in the Declaration of Independence which gave liberty, not alone to the people of this country, but, I hope, to the world, for all future time. [Great applause.] It was that which gave promise that in due time the weight would be lifted from the shoulders of all men. This is the sentiment embodied in the Declaration of Independence. Now, my friends, can this country be saved upon that basis? If it can, I will consider myself one of the happiest men in the world if I can help to save it. If it cannot be saved upon that principle, it will be truly awful. But if this country cannot be saved without giving up that principle, I was about to say I would rather be assassinated on this spot than surrender it. [Applause.] Now, in my view of the present aspect of affairs, there need be no bloodshed or war. There is no necessity for it. I am not in favor of such a course; and I may say in advance that there will be no bloodshed unless it be forced upon the Government, and then it will be compelled to act in self-defence. [Applause.]
My friends, this is wholly an unexpected speech, and I did not expect to be called upon to say a word when I came here. I supposed it was merely to do something towards raising the flag—I may, therefore, have said something indiscreet. [Cries of "No, No."] I have said nothing but what I am willing to live by, and, if it be the pleasure of Almighty God, die by.

God loves a cheerful giver and He is generous with those who give to others. 2 Corinthians 9:6 "...whoever sows generously will also reap generously."
As a loving Father, God wants to provide our each and every need, and He calls us to be like Him – to be a giving people. The act of giving allows us to worship God, demonstrate compassion, see our church thrive and support our community service and outreach. At First Presbyterian, we encourage everyone to show love through generously, consistently, sacrificially and cheerfully giving.

At its most basic, self-awareness is all about observing oneself from within.
Before about 18 months old, infants don't appear to be aware that other people can have separate points of view from their own (e.g. "Is Mummy hungry?" only makes them examine whether they themselves are hungry).
Then there's a period when they can understand that other people / things have different stories than their own (e.g. Giving bunny a pretend bath in an empty box).
Later still comes the ability to recognize that a story's narrative can be mapped back onto oneself (e.g. Answering "When will you be hungry?").
IMHO, a "conscious machine" should minimally be able to describe its ability to be self aware.
Minimally Self-Aware…
A key part of consciousness appears to be story narratives, and their manipulation.
Neurons appear to be an unlikely substrate for doing this efficiently.

5 ways to pray with play dough
Here are five, simple ideas to pray using playdough. This works well with under 5s, but limit it to them! There's plenty of children, teens and adults who'll appreciate this very kinesthetic prayer.
These ideas are those used at the mini-make session at the Hand in Hand conference in January. The dough I like to use is the 4 minute dough from The Imagination Tree. I made lemon, chocolate, peppermint, lavender, glitter spice (with cumin), glitter herb (with mint and coriander), golden caramel (with gold glitter and caramel flavouring) and lavender bake (with lavender essence and poppy seeds).
1 Thank God. Make models of things you are thankful for. This could be 3D or 2D, realistic representations or symbols.
2 Praise God. Create words to describe and praise God using cutters or freestyle. This is easy using 'worms' of playdough then bending them to make the letters. You could take photos of them and make them into a poem of praise to God.
3 Say sorry to God. Make a sculpture or symbol of something you are sorry for then squoodge it up. Very cathartic and a lovely way to see what a different Jesus' forgiveness makes.
4 Pray for people. Make models of people having their prayers answered E.g. Granny now well again. You could leave these on display to remind you to keep praying.
5 Pray difficult prayers. Use the action of kneading dough to express your passion when praying.
If instead of play dough you use bread dough, then you can eat it afterwards! I love this recipe which you can use to make pizza, bread, flat read, dough balls and so on.

Specialized Signs 2009 Ironman Canada Champion Jordan Rapp
Heading out the door? Read this article on the new Outside+ app available now on iOS devices for members! Download the app.
The 2010 Specialized triathlon team got a huge boost this week when 2009 Subaru Ironman Canada Champion Jordan Rapp agreed to race the 2010 season with Specialized. Jordan will start racing Specialized equipment immediately and will join the hunt for his second Ironman victory on Sunday at Ford Ironman Arizona aboard a Specialized S-Works Transition.
"Jordan brings a wealth of knowledge to our team here at Specialized" says USA Event manager Ian Dewar. "His reputation for being very specific about his equipment needs makes him an ideal athlete for us to work with. He will provide us with great feedback on our products and he will push them to the limit."
Building on his successful 2008 campaign which included two third place finishes at Ironman Arizona, 2009 has been a breakthrough year with wins at the Ironman Canada, the Vancouver International Half ironman, the Superseal Olympic distance, and a fourth place finish at Wildflower Long Course. Jordan brings a multi-level attack to triathlon posting the fastest bike split at many of his wins and the fastest run split at the Ironman Canada.
"I'm excited to be working with a company so focused on innovation" Says Jordan, "Specialized's philosophy of innovate or die resonates with me both as an athlete and an engineer. There is a passion for competition both on the race course and inside every aspect of the company. Winning races and making better products are ways of life. And to share that commonality is what drew me to Specialized. I'm excited to be a part of proving the current generation of products and creating the next generation."
In order to launch the partnership for 2010 Specialized has joined Jordan's Ironman Arizona fundraiser with two great prizes – a Specialized Transitions Expert Frame, Fork, Seatpost and Saddle & a set of Roval Fusee Star wheels. Find out more at Jordan's donation page.

File::LocalizeNewlines - Localize the newlines for one or more files
For people that routinely work with a mixture of different platforms that have conflicting newline formats (mainly *NIX and Win32) there are a number of different situations that can result in files having their newlines get corrupted.
File::LocalizeNewlines provides a mechanism for one off or bulk detection and conversion of these files to the newline style for the local platform.
The module implements the conversion using a standard "universal line seperator" regex, which ensures that files with any of the different newlines, plus a couple of common "broken" newlines, including multiple different types mixed in the same file, are all converted to the local platform's newline style.
The new constructor creates a new conversion object.
By default, the conversion object will process all files and convert them to the local platform's newline format.
Takes some optional parameters
The filter param allows you to provide an instantiate File::Find::Rule object, that will used to determine the list of files to check or process.
The newline option allows you to provide an alternative newline format to the local one. The newline format should be provided as a literal string.
For example, to force Win32 newlines, you would use
my $Object = File::LocalizeNewlines->new( newline => "\015\012" );
The verbose option will cause the File::LocalizeNewlines object to print status information to STDOUT as it runs.
Returns a new File::LocalizeNewlines object.
The Find accessor returns the File::Find::Rule object that will be used for the file search.
The newline accessor returns the newline format that will be used in the localisation process.
The localized method takes an argument of a single file name or file handle and tests it to see it is localized correctly.
Returns true if localized correctly, false if not, or undef on error.
The find method takes the path for a dir (or file) and returns a list of relative files names for all of the files that do not have their newlines correctly localized.
Returns a list of file names, or the null list if there are no files, or if an incorrect path was provided.
The localize method takes a file, file handle or directory as argument and localizes the newlines of the file, or all files within the directory (that match the filter if one was provided).
Returns the number of files that were localized, zero if no files needed to be localized, or undef on error.

Architecture of the Games: All about Olympic Architecture
Architecture of the Games was begun in August 2013, with the aim of informing architects and others interested about spatial and architectural design within the Olympic Games. We write mainly about urban planning, landscape architecture, architecture and infrastructure. Next to this we also pay attention to the visual identity of the Olympic Games.
Once every 4 years all eyes are focused on one event, The Olympic Games. Upon this podium, every athlete and host city wants to show their best face to the world. The architecture of the venues are often used as a tool and therefore become iconic for the event. Think of the tent-like roof construction of the Olympic Stadium in München (Frei Otto, 1972) or the impressive 'Bird's Nest' in Beijing (Herzog & De Meuron and Ai Weiwei, 2008).
At Architecture of the Games you will read the latest news, complemented with analyses and reports of visits to (former) host cities. We follow cities from the first candidature, during the bid process and the preparation in the run up to the Games. Finally, we report on the legacy that the Games leaves behind on the city.
Currently, Architecture of the Games is the only website that is completely dedicated to this subject. In the last few years we have grown rapidly. In 2021, our website has had visitors that hailed from more than 200 countries. In 2023 we will be paying special attention to the Olympic Games of Paris 2024.

Orchis purpurea Lady Orchid R DD N
Many years ago the Forestry commission, obsessed to the point of addiction covering the UK with trees, tried to create a forest on a chalky bank in deepest Kent. The project failed and if the trees grew at all they were small and stunted. Hence the nickname Bonsai Bank.
Eventually common sense prevailed and the trees were removed. The bank reverted to natural species and a wealth of orchids including many Orchis purpurea (Lady Orchid) appeared and thrived in the dappled shade of shrub on chalk. Other orchid species were just as common with Orchis mascula (Early-purple Orchid) finished but Cephalanthera damasonium (White Helleborine), Dactylorhiza fuchsii (Common-spotted Orchid) and Plantanthera chlorantha (Greater Butterfly Orchid) easily found in quantity.
This visit was part of The Wild Flower Society's 2007 meetings programme and there were so many groups of superb Orchis purpurea, one of the UK's most handsome orchids, that it really took our breath away.
Taxonomy: All authorities agree that the accepted, correct name for this species is Orchis purpurea Huds.
Bonsai Bank, near Anvil Green, Kent 2nd June 2007

There are short- and long-term health effects of breathing diesel exhaust fumes on truck drivers, such as serious respiratory complications and cancer.
The health effects of breathing diesel exhaust fumes that truck drivers must contend with make an already "tough road" to health and safety all that much tougher.
Reflecting on my last 20 years of practice, I spend quite a bit of time helping and working to protect truck drivers – even though some people wrongly assume that because so much of my practice is as a truck accident lawyer, that I must also be "anti-trucker." People don't always realize that being a truck accident lawyer means I have a very high number of truck drivers as clients, because many truck accidents are caused by drivers in cars who don't always make "wise" driving decisions around truckers. I also work with drivers and companies on safety and preventing crashes, and I've been helping truckers who now have to battle with the industry-wide push by employers to wrongfully misclassify truckers as "independent contractors" rather than as the employees that they are, which is just a shameful strategy that employers everywhere are using to boost profits, avoid paying less for Workers' Compensation insurance, and trying to get out of liability for making truckers work beyond hours of service.
Workers compensation protection is especially important for truck drivers that are at risk for the negative health effects of breathing diesel exhaust fumes from the fuel that truckers depend on to keep their big rigs running.
In recent years, there have been alarming discoveries regarding the negative health effects of breathing diesel exhaust among truck drivers. Much akin to the tobacco litigation, it turns out that many in the trucking industry have known for years about the negative health effects of breathing diesel exhaust fumes of long-term and ignored the risk to truck drivers. Now the science is catching up, although unfortunately many Workers' Compensation lawyers around the country are still not aware of the connection and are not representing affected drivers with these claims for disability and necessary medical treatment. Unfortunately for the many truck drivers with medical complications caused by this exposure to fumes, the Workers' Compensation claims are also not keeping up with the science.
In this blog post, I will discuss what fumes are, what the exposure-related health effects of breathing diesel exhaust are for truck drivers and the types of controls that can be put in place to protect truckers.
Where do diesel fumes come from?
Diesel fuel is a petroleum product which is used worldwide as an energy source for a variety of products including, but not limited to, trucks, semi-trucks and commercial vehicles. Significantly, there are even personal pick-up trucks which are fueled by diesel petroleum.
One of the main advantages of using diesel fuel as opposed to gasoline is that, because of its chemical composition, it is much cheaper to produce and, thus, to buy.
But for truck drivers, there is one serious drawback to using this type of fuel: The health effects of breathing diesel exhaust are wrecking truckers' health.
The problems with burning this fuel begin with the fumes that are created by the exhaust.
What do these fumes consist of?
These fumes are a noxious cocktail of substances. These fumes include both carbon dioxide and monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur, formaldehyde, benzene, and other volatile organic compounds.
OSHA (the "Occupational Safety and Health Administration" of the U.S. Department of Labor) explains that the fumes from this fuel "exhaust from diesel engines contains a mixture of gases and very small particles that can create a health hazard when not properly controlled." The particles are called "Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM)," which OSHA describes as "a component of diesel exhaust (DE) that includes soot particles made up primarily of carbon, ash, metallic abrasion particles, sulfates and silicates." (Source: OSHA, "HAZARD ALERT – Diesel Exhaust/Diesel Particulate Matter")
Similarly, the American Cancer Society explains that "[d]iesel exhaust is made up of . . . gases and soot (particles)":
- "The gas portion of diesel exhaust is mostly carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur oxides, and hydrocarbons, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)."
- "The soot (particulate) portion of diesel exhaust is made up of particles such as carbon, organic materials (including PAHs), and traces of metallic compounds."
(Source: American Cancer Society, "What Causes Cancer?," "Diesel Exhaust and Cancer")
Short-term health effects of breathing diesel exhaust for truck drivers
- Irritated eyes, throat and lungs
- Light-headedness or dizziness
- Headaches
- Heartburn
- Weakness
- Numbness
- Chest pain
- Nausea
- Vomiting
In addition, the effects of breathing diesel exhaust fumes have been shown to exacerbate underlying health complications, including emphysema, asthma or allergies.
Long-term health effects of breathing diesel exhaust fumes for truckers
- Lung cancer
- Increased risk of cardiovascular disease
- Increased risk of cardiopulmonary disease
- Increased risk of respiratory disease
- Bronchitis (Bronchitis associated with exposure to exhaust fumes are shown to have onset both in conjunction with and independent of smoking, or exposure to other offensive substances such as asbestos)
- Irreversible kidney damage
- Blood clotting
What is the relationship between the effects of breathing diesel exhaust fumes and cancer?
Perhaps the most concerning consequence of being exposed to these fumes from exhaust is its link to cancer. These fumes have been identified as a carcinogenic agent.
OSHA has reported that the International Agency for Cancer Research (IARC) which is part of the World Health Organization (WHO) has classified "diesel exhaust" including "diesel particulate matter" as "a known human carcinogen." (Source: OSHA, "HAZARD ALERT – Diesel Exhaust/Diesel Particulate Matter")
Similarly, the American Cancer Society has stated the following about the health effects of breathing diesel exhaust fumes and lung cancer:
- Lung cancer is the major cancer thought to be linked to this type of exhaust. "Several studies of workers exposed to this type of exhaust have shown small but significant increases in risk of lung cancer. Men with the heaviest and most prolonged exposures, such as railroad workers, heavy equipment operators, miners, and truck drivers, have been found to have higher lung cancer death rates than unexposed workers. Based on the number of people exposed at work, this type of exhaust may pose a substantial health risk."
- Additionally, the American Cancer Society noted that the IARC's classification of these types fumes from exhaust as "carcinogenic to humans" was based on "sufficient evidence that it is linked to an increased risk of lung cancer."
The ACS also pointed out that the IARC has stated that there is "some evidence of a positive association" between these exhaust fumes and bladder cancer.
What can be done to reduce adverse health effects of breathing diesel exhaust fumes?
OSHA recommends that the following engineering and administrative controls be put in place to reduce truck drivers' exposure to these dangerous fumes:
- Performing routine preventive maintenance of diesel engines to minimize emissions
- Installing engine exhaust filters
- Installing cleaner burning engines
- Installing diesel oxidation catalysts
- Using special fuels or fuel additives (e.g., biodiesel)
- Providing equipment cabs with filtered air
- Installing or upgrading main or auxiliary ventilation systems, such as tailpipe or stack exhaust vents to capture and remove emissions in maintenance shops or other indoor locations
- Limiting speeds and using one-way travel routes to minimize traffic congestion
- Prohibiting and/or restricting unnecessary idling or lugging of engines
- Restricting the amount of diesel-powered equipment and total engine horsepower operating in a given area and ensure that the number of vehicles operating in an area does not exceed the capacity of the ventilation system
- Designate areas that are off-limits for diesel engine operation and/or personnel travel
(Source: OSHA, "HAZARD ALERT – Diesel Exhaust/Diesel Particulate Matter")
What can truck drivers do about the health effects of diesel exhaust fumes?
In sum, truck drivers face many negative health effects of breathing diesel exhaust fumes – both in the short- and long-term.
If you are a truck driver and have experienced illness when exposed to these fumes, immediately seek medical treatment. Your illness may be linked to a more serious underlying condition, which is exacerbated by the exposure of these fumes. If you are suffering from medical complications caused by repeated and long-term exposure to these fumes, and would like to speak with an experienced Workers' Compensation attorney in your state, you can contact our truck accident attorneys at Michigan Auto Law and we can help you find an experienced Workers' Comp lawyer to help you.

The meat, used in spaghetti bolognaise and lasagne dishes, has been served in schools over the past 12 months. It was removed during the half-term holiday to await test results and will now be replaced by a different type of minced beef.
Council bosses have assured parents there was no health risk and the product contained less than a 1% trace of horse DNA.
Wendy Philp, Leicestershire County Council's head of school food, said: "Following the outcome of the tests, we've moved quickly and taken prudent action and won't be using this product in the future.
"We want to reassure parents that there is no health risk and that we're satisfied with the quality of all the beef products we serve.
"The vast majority of food we supply is Red Tractor assured and we will continue to regularly seek assurances from our school food suppliers to ensure that they comply with legislation."
The council's school food support service provides 22,000 meals to children at 244 schools across Leicestershire every day.
Meanwhile, tests on meat products in retail outlets such as supermarkets across Hinckley and the wider county have revealed that traces of pork have been found in beef products. The Public Analyst has found a small trace of pork (less than 0.1%) in samples which were beef burgers and chopped and shaped beef.
Trading standards are now looking at whether any labelling or descriptions used amounts to a criminal offence and could take action.
David Bull, Head of Leicestershire County Council's Trading Standards service, said: "A small trace of pork was found in two of the samples which were not listed on the product label or description.
"This is obviously a concern for some consumers. We will be contacting the suppliers of these two products to advise them of the test results. The suppliers will need to decide what action to take with regard to products that may currently be in the supply chain."
The council was one of 28 local authorities selected by the Food Standards Agency to take samples for testing for the presence of horse meat in products being sold at/distributed from retail outlets such as takeaways, mobile takeaways and supermarkets.

In Ireland's final World Cup qualification match yesterday in Dublin, Everton's growing optimism was struck a huge blow. In the 34th minute of Ireland's 3-1 victory, Darron Gibson put in a fairly innocuous challenge, and immediately collapsed in a heap. (video of the tackle here - go to 1:02) GIbson was stretchered off, in obvious discomfort, and flown back to England to be examined by Everton's medical staff. A scan of the injured knee revealed damage to his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), but no damage to any other part of the knee.
Initially, the time frame for Gibson's return was unclear, though certainly not optimistic. Now, several media outlets have been reporting that Gibson will miss "months", and the most recent report from The Guardian suggests the injury could have Gibson out from six to nine months. Gibson's injury comes in only his second game back for the Irish national team since Euro 2012, in which Giovanni Trapattoni failed to give Gibson a single minute in what was a dreadful performance by his squad.
Where will this leave the Toffees? First and foremost, Evertonians will be singing the praises of Robert Elstone, Bill Kenwright, and Roberto Martinez for bringing in Gareth Barry and James McCarthy at the death of the transfer window. Without the addition of both of these players, particularly Barry who has been one Everton's best players in his limited playing time, the boys in blue would be in serious trouble. These two, plus Leon Osman, will compose the central midfield corps likely for the rest of the season. Given that these three players have already played the majority of the minutes at the center of the pitch this season, this is certainly not a terrible situation. However, after seeing the strong play of Barry this season, and watching Gibson control the midfield for the second half of last year's campaign, Everton supporters will be left to wonder what could have been of the pairing of Gibson and Barry at the center of the park.
For many Everton supporters, perhaps we now find ourselves asking, "What in the world are we to do with Darron Gibson?" He has the ability to control matches, is a solid passer, works hard, and helps out defensively: just about all that can be asked of a player at his position. But we can no longer pretend that Gibson is not injury prone; perhaps Manchester United knew this and was willing to let him go so cheaply because of it. Regardless, all that we can hope for now is the continued solid play of Gareth Barry, James McCarthy reaching his full potential, and Leon Osman rediscovering a little bit of the magic he had last season, all the while hoping for a speedy and successful recovery for the 25 year old Gibson, who still hopefully has a lot of football in front of him. Get well soon Gibbo.
UPDATE: Roberto Martinez confirms Gibson has ruptured his ACL, and is still "hopeful the player [will] be able to return before the end of the season." This sounds more like wishful thinking than anything based in fact, but only time will tell.

Stepping Up Sincerely: The Appeal of Companies That Give Back
Between the spread of the coronavirus pandemic and the nationwide call for an end to systemic racism in the U.S., the need for awareness and assistance has reached a critical peak.
So rather than simply writing another check or joining a march, many want a more innovative way to make an impact, perhaps one being led by a well-known brand.
With so many companies pitching in to help in so many ways, it's not always obvious whether an organization is actually demonstrating its values or capitalizing on a moment purely for marketing purposes. Can the layperson tell the difference? If the help is there, does the motivation truly matter?
Emily Kane Miller, whose company Ethos Giving works with corporations, individuals and foundations to make an impact with their philanthropy, considers the distinction important, and she contends she can easily spot the difference.
Miller cites companies such as Netflix and Sweetgreen as organizations that have found meaningful ways to move the needle. Those efforts include a conscious focus on presenting entertainment that highlights Black Lives Matter, and the 100,000-meal goal of the Sweetgreen Impact Outpost Fund.
By contrast, some entities have marketing departments that talk a bigger game than they play, Miller said.
"When people say, 'Our brand has fixed literacy issues in this zip code' or 'Because of us, there is more quality for LGBT people' and they make these big proclamations when actually they've done very little, that is making a mountain out of a molehill," Miller said. "That is goodwashing."
"I think it also comes from this sense of being disingenuous, that you are specifically doing this because you know it is important but for whatever reason, you still want the credit. It is the opposite of the kinds of individuals that I like to work with and that I think are making the world a better place for everybody," Miller said.
Writing for the website Triple Pundit in January, Miller predicted that the 2020s would herald a new time of corporate social responsibility. Half a year later, in the midst of a global pandemic, a crumbling economy and the call for racial justice turning to a roar, Miller says her belief is as strong as ever. She points to the fact that in June, racial justice organizations took in $232 million in contributions — more than they would cumulatively bring in during an entire year previously.
"There is so much cynicism and so much reluctance to believe that this is coming from a place that is thoughtful," Miller said. "The world needs corporations specifically, but all generous individuals need to show up now more than they have ever shown up before."
At the start of the pandemic, Kfir Gavrieli donated early to the relief effort around personal protective equipment, such as masks for medical workers. And as the president and CEO of the shoe retailer Tieks, Gavrieli sought out a way to mobilize his company to help.
Tieks bought additional sewing machines, developed mask patterns and set staff to work stitching masks that would be delivered to local hospitals and emergency rooms. When he realized that the effort produced only a few hundred masks per day, Gavrieli figured out a way to increase the output.
Through its #SewTogether campaign, Tieks offered gift cards to customers and fans who produced a certain number of masks. Practically overnight, Gavrieli said, Tieks mobilized tens of thousands of workers who eventually produced more than 1 million pieces of personal protective equipment.
"It was a great way to tap into the desire people already had to help," said Gavrieli. "It let us have more of an impact by leveraging the best currency we had, which is the goodwill we had built up with our brands and the influence with our customers and fans, and then getting them to do something they wanted to do anyway."
Through his online socially conscious financing company Aspiration, Joe Sanberg has noticed a similar spike in his customers' interest in using their consumer dollars to effect social change. Through their Aspiration accounts, customers place their money with a financial organization that does not support fossil fuels, gun companies or private prison companies.
In recent months, Aspiration has redirected much of its charitable dollars to the racial justice organization Color of Change. The entity was one of the founding partners of the Greater Los Angeles Hospital Registry and has worked with Blue Apron to help get food to low-income Americans in need during the COVID-19 crisis.
"This is an easy time for companies to step up and do the right thing because all of the light is on," said Sanberg. "The question is where were you before the world's eyes were turned on to this and where are you going to be when the world moves on to something else?"

Bowl decisions. We're picking a different set of games this time around. Choose for the Game Formerly Known as the Peach Bowl, the Liberty Bowl and the Music City Bowl. The former Peach Bowl (I will not use the sponsor's name because of the stunning corporate greed shown by taking the rightful name off of it) gets the fourth non-BCS pick after which the Liberty and Music City choose the next two teams "not in any specific order, but in consultation with the SEC Office." Let's assume for the sake of argument that Alabama and Florida take the spots in the BCS National Championship Game and the Sugar Bowl and LSU goes to the Capital One Bowl. You can decide who goes to the Outback and Cotton bowls, because I don't think there are any safe assumptions at this point once you get beyond LSU.
Least likely to go to a bowl game. The teams that have yet to clinch eligibility are Tennessee, Kentucky, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Arkansas and Georgia. You can't say Vanderbilt because they're already locked out of the postseason. Is it possible we could have a scenario like 2006, where the SEC had a bowl eligible team that didn't go? (That was before the league had eight picks outside of the BCS.)
One more time: Now do you believe in Jonathan Crompton? He's now completed 59 percent of his passes for 21 TDs and 10 INTs. Suddenly, the Vols have a decent chance at eight wins and are now the favorites for second place in the SEC East.
How many games will each of the following teams win during the stretch run? South Carolina (two left: Florida, bye, Clemson), Georgia (three left: Auburn, Kentucky, at Georgia Tech) or Ole Miss (three left: Tennessee, LSU, at Mississippi State).
Early favorite for the SEC Championship Game. Since we now know for a fact whom the contestants will be, give us your current pick to win the game.
