About Albert Einstein, Nobel Prize in Physics, 1921
Albert Abraham Einstein (14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955; Hebrew: אלברט אברהם איינשטיין) the first child of the Jewish couple Hermann and Pauline Einstein, nee Koch was born in Ulm, Württemberg Germany and is often regarded as the father of modern physics. He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics.
His great intelligence and originality has made the word "Einstein" synonymous with genius.
He never did well with rote learning as a student. He daydreamed about what it would be like to ride alongside a light beam. Success came from imagination and creativity. He once declared, "Imagination is more important than knowledge." He questioned conventional wisdom, challenged authority, and marveled at mysteries that struck others as mundane. "It is important to foster individuality, for only the individual can produce the new ideas."

Einstein letters reveal a tumultuous love life and turmoil beyond science.
JERUSALEM -- Albert Einstein made bad financial investments, revealed details about his mistresses to his wives, and was plagued by doubts about his relationship with his two sons.
Those were among the intimate details of Einstein's life that emerged yesterday in a trove of more than 3,500 pages of letters, papers, postcards, and other documents unsealed at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
They include notes and drawings to and from his children and his two wives, Mileva and Elsa. In one note to his stepdaughter written in 1928, Einstein drew a small cartoon of himself lying ill in bed, reading a book with a chamber pot at the ready.
Researchers say the newly available papers offer few insights into Einstein's science, but do shed light on the personal life and the character of the creator of the special theory of relativity.
Einstein bequeathed his personal papers to Hebrew University when he died in 1955. The letters released yesterday were an additional bequest added to the collection by his stepdaughter Margot Einstein on condition that they be sealed for 20 years after her death. She died in July 1986.
The letters reveal how Einstein lost most of his Nobel Prize money in bad bond investments on Wall Street, and provide details of how he was showered with affection and gifts by his many mistresses.
It added colors to the image we had of Einstein before," said Barbara Wolff, an archivist at the Albert Einstein Archives at Hebrew University who has read and indexed the newly released material.
Now we have a high-resolution picture."
The material unsealed in the archives includes documents from 1912 to 1955. A handful of the items were available for view at a press conference yesterday at Hebrew University announcing the collection. Some will be included in the 10th volume of the Einstein Archive, covering Einstein's correspondence from May to December 1920. The series is published by Princeton University Press and edited by the Einstein Papers Project at the California Institute of Technology.
Einstein achieved world fame in 1905 after publishing his special theory of relativity while he was living in Bern, Switzerland. He settled in Berlin in 1914 but traveled extensively, lecturing and working in many places including three stints as a scholar in residence at Oxford University. Threatened by the Nazis, who put a bounty on his head, he left Berlin for good in 1933 and settled in Princeton, N.J., from where he continued to correspond with his sons and former wife in Switzerland.
He became involved with Elsa, a cousin, in 1912 when he was still married to his first wife Mileva, a fellow scientist with whom he had two boys, Hans Albert and Eduard. Before he and Mileva married, they had a daughter, Lieserl, who was given up for adoption.
In 1919, Einstein divorced Mileva and married Elsa, but within four years he was in love with Bette Neumann, his secretary who was also the young niece of one of his friends. Many more liaisons followed.
The letters reveal that a beautiful Berlin socialite named Ethel Michanowski followed him to Oxford, only to discover that he was involved with a third woman.
According to excerpts of letters made available to reporters, Einstein discussed his extra-marital affairs openly with his family.
It is true that M. followed me and her chasing after me is getting out of control," wrote Einstein to his stepdaughter in May 1931 of Michanowski's infatuation.
I will tell her that she should vanish immediately. . . . Out of all the dames, I am in fact attached only to Mrs L. who is absolutely harmless and decent, and even with this there is no danger to the divine world order."
I don't care what people are saying about me, but for mother and Mrs M. it is better that not every Tom, Dick and Harry gossip about it," he wrote.
Mrs L." was Margarete Lenbach, another wealthy woman who used to send a chauffeur-driven car to collect Einstein for their late-night trysts.
But Einstein valued Michanowski's discretion, as he wrote to his second wife Elsa in 1931.
Mrs. M. definitely acted according to the best Christian-Jewish ethics: 1) one should do what one enjoys and what won't harm anyone else; and 2) one should refrain from doing things one does not take delight in and which annoy another person. Because of 1) she came with me, and because of 2) she didn't tell you a word. Isn't that irreproachable?"
Einstein's distance from his two sons after the divorce from Mileva clearly troubled him. He wrote how much he enjoyed taking the boys on holiday but at times expressed despair over his younger son, Eduard, who suffered from schizophrenia. On more than one occasion he suggested it would have been better if Eduard had never been born.
But things were troubled even before the split with Mileva, not least because of Einstein's womanizing. In June 1915, Einstein went on holiday with Elsa after his older son, Hans Albert, curtly rejected an invitation to join him.
Dear Papa, You should contact Mama about such things, because I'm not the only one to decide here. But if you're so unfriendly to her, I don't want to go with you either," wrote the boy, then just 11 years old.
The divorce settlement with Mileva contained a unique clause in which Einstein agreed that if he were to win the Nobel Prize he would deposit the money in a Swiss bank account in Mileva's name, and she could use the interest to finance the upbringing of the children. Einstein indeed won the prize for physics in 1921, but failed to fulfill this promise, and biographies have said that Mileva always felt betrayed.
The newly released papers reveal that he invested three-quarters of the money, about $24,000, in long-term bonds via the Ladenburg and Thalmann Bank in New York. Mileva was supposed to receive the interest. But the value of the bonds was wiped out in the Depression of the 1930s and Mileva's income dried up.
On June 12, 1932, Mileva asked her former husband for more money to help pay the mortgage on properties she had bought.
Not so much is left for us to live on, especially since our income in any case has been reduced because of the loss from the papers in America," she wrote.
But Professor Hanoch Gutfreund, who is responsible for the Einstein bequest at Hebrew University, said Einstein made amends:
Over the course of his life he sent Mileva and the boys regular sums of cash, much more than if he had only given them his Nobel Prize award."

Among other things he works on the topic of gravitational waves and again on the topic of quantum theory.
- 1917 At the beginning of the years Einstein suffers from various illnesses (among other things from a liver disease and a stomach ulcer). His cousin Elsa takes care of him. It will last several years until he recovers completely. He writes a work on cosmology with the cosmologic term which shall guarantee a limited universe. He will refer to this cosmologic term later as his "biggest idiocy". He takes over the management of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics on October 1.
- 1918 In August Einstein rejects a joint offer from the Swiss Polytechnic and the University of Zurich though the conditions are very good. The German Reich surrenders on November 9 and the Republic is proclaimed. Einstein welcomes these events.

Nobel Committee: The Nobel Prize in Physics 1921 - to Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein - Biography (Science)
Albert Einstein was born at Ulm, in Württemberg, Germany, on March 14, 1879. Six weeks later the family moved to Munich, where he later on began his schooling at the Luitpold Gymnasium. Later, they moved to Italy and Albert continued his education at Aarau, Switzerland and in 1896 he entered the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich to be trained as a teacher in physics and mathematics. In 1901, the year he gained his diploma, he acquired Swiss citizenship and, as he was unable to find a teaching post, he accepted a position as technical assistant in the Swiss Patent Office. In 1905 he obtained his doctor's degree.
During his stay at the Patent Office, and in his spare time, he produced much of his remarkable work and in 1908 he was appointed Privatdozent in Berne. In 1909 he became Professor Extraordinary at Zurich, in 1911 Professor of Theoretical Physics at Prague, returning to Zurich in the following year to fill a similar post. In 1914 he was appointed Director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Physical Institute and Professor in the University of Berlin. He became a German citizen in 1914 and remained in Berlin until 1933 when he renounced his citizenship for political reasons and emigrated to America to take the position of Professor of Theoretical Physics at Princeton*. He became a United States citizen in 1940 and retired from his post in 1945.
After World War II, Einstein was a leading figure in the World Government Movement, he was offered the Presidency of the State of Israel, which he declined, and he collaborated with Dr. Chaim Weizmann in establishing the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Einstein always appeared to have a clear view of the problems of physics and the determination to solve them. He had a strategy of his own and was able to visualize the main stages on the way to his goal. He regarded his major achievements as mere stepping-stones for the next advance.
At the start of his scientific work, Einstein realized the inadequacies of Newtonian mechanics and his special theory of relativity stemmed from an attempt to reconcile the laws of mechanics with the laws of the electromagnetic field. He dealt with classical problems of statistical mechanics and problems in which they were merged with quantum theory: this led to an explanation of the Brownian movement of molecules. He investigated the thermal properties of light with a low radiation density and his observations laid the foundation of the photon theory of light.
In his early days in Berlin, Einstein postulated that the correct interpretation of the special theory of relativity must also furnish a theory of gravitation and in 1916 he published his paper on the general theory of relativity. During this time he also contributed to the problems of the theory of radiation and statistical mechanics.
In the 1920's, Einstein embarked on the construction of unified field theories, although he continued to work on the probabilistic interpretation of quantum theory, and he persevered with this work in America. He contributed to statistical mechanics by his development of the quantum theory of a monatomic gas and he has also accomplished valuable work in connection with atomic transition probabilities and relativistic cosmology.
After his retirement he continued to work towards the unification of the basic concepts of physics, taking the opposite approach, geometrisation, to the majority of physicists.
Einstein's researches are, of course, well chronicled and his more important works include Special Theory of Relativity (1905), Relativity (English translations, 1920 and 1950), General Theory of Relativity (1916), Investigations on Theory of Brownian Movement (1926), and The Evolution of Physics (1938). Among his non-scientific works, About Zionism (1930), Why War? (1933), My Philosophy (1934), and Out of My Later Years (1950) are perhaps the most important.
Albert Einstein received honorary doctorate degrees in science, medicine and philosophy from many European and American universities. During the 1920's he lectured in Europe, America and the Far East and he was awarded Fellowships or Memberships of all the leading scientific academies throughout the world. He gained numerous awards in recognition of his work, including the Copley Medal of the Royal Society of London in 1925, and the Franklin Medal of the Franklin Institute in 1935.
Einstein's gifts inevitably resulted in his dwelling much in intellectual solitude and, for relaxation, music played an important part in his life. He married Mileva Maric in 1903 and they had a daughter and two sons; their marriage was dissolved in 1919 and in the same year he married his cousin, Elsa Löwenthal, who died in 1936. He died on April 18, 1955 at Princeton, New Jersey.

This is a picture of me about a year ago, not able to keep my apartment organized and really not caring. Already in this picture, though, I was in love with the guy you all know as SR. He just didn't know it.
And it was at that time I was asking myself Am I capable of loving SR's children, too? Who would I be to them?
And at first it was easy to just have fun with them and be that girl who lived next door and loved their dad and played with them. But, without being really aware of it, or in control of it, they became more to me and I became more to them.
And SR's son is making that clear to me now that he understands there is a baby in my belly. He enjoys sitting in the baby car seat, making baby noises and even washing me in the shower at the YMCA because he simply wants me to love him like he knows I love that little baby in my belly.
So, I'm finding myself becoming a mom. And not just to a little baby.
My mom came to help set up the changing table and we talked a lot about things I would need before the baby comes. She actually seems to think I'm all ready. But there are so many things you can't prepare for, of course. And when it comes to being a step-mom, not even my mom can give me much guidance.
So we'll fill our lives with baby clothes, a diaper pail and a changing table made in Taiwan, hoping these things make us ready.
But what it takes to be a good mom is time and a heart that's not afraid. I guess I've changed a lot in the past year and I don't regret it one bit. I hope more than anything now that I can be that mom and wife I always wanted to be when I was younger. At the same time, I don't want to lose my idealism or my flakiness or my love of running. And as long as I'm listing my goals, I do hope I can learn to clean, too.

After 15 years at the Charles Theatre, the Maryland Film Festival will be moving into new digs in May.
The operators of the Charles, James "Buzz" Cusack and his daughter, Kathleen Cusack Lyon, chose not to rent their five-screen facility to the festival this year, film festival head Jed Dietz said.
The 16th festival, scheduled for May 7-11, will be held at spaces in the Maryland Institute College of Art, the University of Baltimore, the Walters Art Museum and the Windup Space on North Avenue. Other venues may still be announced, Dietz said, as well as parking options. The festival's tent village will be moved from a parking lot across the street from the Charles to a spot off North Avenue, adjacent to the MICA graduate studio center.
Handing over the Charles for the duration of the annual festival has been a money-losing proposition, Lyon said, as the theater's regular programming is disrupted for the duration of the festival, and sometimes for weeks afterward. "Aside from the money issue," she said, "it became complicated scheduling-wise, as far as some (film) companies were concerned. They didn't want us to take their movies off-screen for an entire weekend."
This past October, the Cusacks re-opened the Senator theatre on York Road, following a $3.5 million expansion and renovation.
"The movie theater business is an extremely competitive one," Lyon said. "We need to focus on what is in the best interest of the theaters."
The first Maryland Film Festival, in 1999, coincided with the grand re-opening of the Charles, which had just been expanded from one screen to five.
The festival recently took possession of the long-vacant Parkway Theatre building on North Avenue, just a couple of blocks north of the Charles. City officials sold it to the festival for $1. The $16.8 million project, calling for a three-screen theater and live music venue at the refurbished Parkway, is still in its planning stages and is not expected to be completed before spring 2016, Dietz said.
The festival is expected to handle programming at the Parkway. Although both the Charles and the Parkway will be operating independent of the major theater chains, often playing films outside the mainstream, Dietz has consistently maintained there would be little overlap between the two with regard to the movies they would feature.
"The whole reason to do the Parkway is to bring programming that wouldn't normally come to town," he said.
The festival's plans for the Parkway had little to do with the decision on the Charles, Lyon insisted. "We have these huge monthly payments to make for our new digital projectors. We have this massive increase in overhead," she said. "It's a tough business, and it's getting tougher."

Liliana Faith arrived on 1/23/13 weighing 6lb4oz and is 19.25 inches long. Liliana is such a good baby and has the sweetest temperament. This has really been a blessing because I was very, very sick after giving birth. I had a spinal headache from getting an epidural and waited 5 days before having it treated, because I had no clue to go in for "just a headache". I had a blood patch though and am doing much better now.
I felt like I was a very informed mommy-to-be. I read every page of "What to expect while you are expecting" and the ob&gyn "pregnancy and labor" book. I went to birthing classes and to every ob visit, but NEVER was a spinal headache explained to me. If my headache was left untreated, I could have had a brain hemorrhage and died leaving my baby without her mommy and my husband without a wife!!! The only reason I went in was because a friend of mine who is an RN called me. She asked how I was doing and I said great besides my headache. She asked me to describe it and then said you have a spinal headache and need to go in immediately for a blood patch.
I would like every woman to know what a spinal headache is and what the signs are for it. When you receive an epidural there is a slight risk that the needle could cause you to leak Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF). This risk is much higher if there was difficulty placing your epideral (it took 5 wrong sticks and over an hour to place mine). If you leak CSF, there may be no signs to let the anesthesiologist know this has occurred. The lack of CSF in your brain causes an extreme pressure headache. It is a pain like no other (if it is a 10 on my pain scale, then childbirth was a 1). I felt it in my whole brain, my neck, my jaws, and my eyes. I actually felt like the blood vessels in my brain wee going to burst. The tale tale signs of this headache is that it is most intense when your head is upright.
As a FTM, I had no clue how I should feel after labor. I was only upright when I was breastfeeding or when I had company. Both situations seemed likely to cause a headache for a FTM. Also I was not sleeping at all, which I thought was causing the headache. Eventually my pain got so bad that I could not intake food and was vomiting every time I lifted my head. I emailed my ob to make an appt. for Monday, but honestly do not think I would have made it through the weekend. My friend calling me and explaining to me what a spinal headache was literally saved my life.
So please if you have a headache after an epidural, don't take "it will go away when you rest" for an answer. Ask to be evaluated by your anesthesiologist. Do not ignore it like I did. It will not go away on its own. The fix is a blood patch, which is relatively painless and gives immediate relief. It should be done before you leave the hospital with your baby as you will need to lay flat on your back for 24h after the procedure. This is really hard to do from home (I know from experience) unless you have 2 people to help full time (1 to care for mommy and 1 to care for baby).
Well at some point, I will post my full birth story and a bunch of pictures of my beautiful baby girl on my blog: thetexastaylorsfamily.blogspot.com/.

Question: I'm worried about nuclear fallout from Japan, not for our two children but our two dogs and two cats. In fact, at this moment I'm buying potassium iodide for my family online. Should I also give this to our pets? — B.D., Seattle
Q: We keep our cats indoors but are still concerned about radiation from Japan. And since our cats are smaller than we are, we're very worried they could be impacted by smaller amounts of radiation. What should we do? — S.H., San Diego
Answer: The answer (at the time of publication) is to do nothing, says Dr. Michael Kent, associate professor of radiation oncology at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. So far, the amount of radiation wafting here from Japan has been termed "negligible" by our government.
"I understand that people care about their pets and want to be proactive, but you might do more harm than good," says Kent.
He explains that potassium iodide should be only be taken once dangerous levels of radioactivity are detected; it's not a preventative. It may also be effective if taken after radiation exposure. However, with no impending need, the pills might be taken for far longer than necessary (if, indeed, they're ever required), increasing the risk of adverse reactions.
Like most doctors, when it comes to medication, Kent talks about risks vs. benefits. At the moment, there's no benefit for pets to take potassium iodide, and there is a risk, albeit unlikely, of a poor reaction.
"There may be gastrointestinal upset, may cause a cat to not eat (which could cause a potentially fatal liver disease) and may cause hypothyroid in dogs, or even potentially death, especially if the wrong dosage is given," says Kent. "And in cats, we're not positive about the dosage."
What's more, potassium iodide only helps pets (or people) to deal with radioactive particles that ultimately impact the thyroid gland, not other organs or illnesses that may result from excessive exposure to radiation.
If you're determined to purchase potassium iodide, buyer beware (since many legitimate outlets are sold out), particularly if you purchase the product online.
Q: I'm a reliable pet owner. I do use a heartworm preventative religiously when there are mosquitoes, but why do I need to test our dogs for the disease? It's not cheap to test three dogs and we're not wealthy. It seems like this is a test we could skip. Our veterinarian has not offered good enough reasoning to convince me. — B.H., Cyberspace
A: Here's some background from Dr. Sheldon Rubin of Chicago, past president of the American Heartworm Society, to help you understand what's at issue.
"Heartworm preventatives are extremely effective and extremely safe, but still no medication is 100% effective," Rubin notes. "And many pet owners aren't 100%, either; you can forget to give the preventative, or maybe you assume your spouse did and he or she did not. If it is a pill, what if the dog doesn't swallow it, and you never notice? These things happen all the time. Heartworm preventives are most effective based on consistent dosages as directed."
So, what if treatments are missed?
"Well, at that point, then the preventative may not succeed at preventing the development of infective larvae, and soon your pet has heartworm," Rubin says. In addition, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has asked veterinarians to conduct annual blood tests for heartworm.
Rubin says he understands that testing for heartworm costs money, but the price of an annual heartworm test and the monthly (or twice annual) preventative is far lower than the cost of treating a pet with heartworm. And in cats, there is no treatment.

Q: My kitten is really sick, and I'm hoping she doesn't have feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). Where can I learn more about FIP? — N.H., Minneapolis
A: Sadly, if your cat has FIP, the prognosis is not good. However, dogged feline researchers are working hard on the problem, and over the past year a lot has been learned. Dozens of medications have been tried to treat FIP, from cancer drugs to chicken soup, but nothing has worked. Polyprenyl Immunostimulant (PI), a drug used to treat cats with feline herpes (upper respiratory infection), is now being tested to treat FIP. So far, it has helped about 20% of cats with one specific type of FIP, according to Dr. Al Legendre, of the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine-Knoxville.
Legendre and Dr. Niels Pederson, director of the Center for Companion Animal Health at the University of California School of Veterinary Medicine-Davis — both icons in veterinary research, will speak about recent findings related to FIP at "WINNing the FIP Fight," a seminar and dinner, hosted by the Winn Feline Foundation (nonprofit supporter of cat health research), June 23 at the Hyatt Regency Reston, in Reston, Va. The $45 cost benefits the Winn Feline Foundation's Bria Fund, which supports FIP research.
Learn more at https://www.winnfelinehealth.org, or call (856) 447-9787. Also, there's good information on FIP at Pederson's site, https://www.sockfip.net; and researcher Dr. Diane Addie's site, https://www.catvirus.org.
Q: Are the Scottish Deerhound and Irish Wolfhound really two different breeds? — N.P., Cyberspace
A: That's a good question because the dogs do resemble one another but they are two distinct breeds. In February, a Scottish Deerhound won the Westminster Dog Show. Deerhounds were originally bred as hunting dogs. Today, Scottish Deerhounds do require a good daily sprint, but are couch potatoes. Despite their size (up to about 100 pounds), they're good apartment or condo choices.
The Irish Wolfhound is nearly as tall (about 30- to 32-inches) as the Scottish Deerhound, but fuller, and weighs a tad more (up to 125 pounds). Though once bred to hunt wolves, Wolfhounds only require a daily sprint but are overall more sedate indoors than your average terrier. Due to their chase instinct, stray cats who wander into the yard could be in trouble. Sadly, Irish Wolfhounds typically live only six to nine years, Deerhounds may live a year or so longer.

Almost a month has past since the NAIS annual conference, and many of the ideas shared are still present in the back of my mind. The theme of the conference was "Think Big, Think Great," and outgoing president Pat Bassett asked us to come up with our list of 25 factors that make schools great. His list is quite impressive, and it was hard to come up with 25 of my own. Instead, as I read each one, I began to see some commonalities among them all.
Relationships: Whether the focus is on students, teachers, families, administrators or the greater community, the things that make a great school on Mr. Bassett's list all depend on forging strong relationships.
Communication: To achieve all those factors, a school needs to have excellent communication among all constituents.
Values: Whatever the values are for a particular school, a school needs to be purposeful in its endeavors and have that work shaped by its values.
It's hard to come up with a list of 25, but if you click on the link above and look at Mr. Bassett's, I think you'll see these three things woven throughout. Maybe you'll see more.

Thanks to the increasing popularity of medical marijuana, you can now easily make the most of CBD oil by buying hemp oil for sale. With so many uses and advantages that this oil offers, it makes sense to include it in cooking as well. So, in case you have been planning to use CBD oil in cooking, then here are a few tips that may come in handy. Let's check them out!
Best CBD Vape Oil Online
1. Search For A Reliable Supplier
When it comes to purchasing CBD oil, consider finding a reliable and renowned provider of wholesale CBD oil. There are many such suppliers in the market at present. So, take some time out of your busy schedule and look for a supplier who offers nothing but one of the finest quality medicinal hemp derived phytocannabinoid rich (PCR) CBD oil. You should find a company that takes great care towards the extraction process and produces an oil with nearly 70% cannabidiol (CBD) during the first extraction itself. When you get one of the highest natural CBD content, you can make sure that your food gets high benefits that are offered by CBD.
2. Know The Contents Right
Cooking for CBD oil makes it important for you to find out the right recipe. Search for a recipe that contains either a fat or an oil-based ingredient which you can mix with the cannabis concentrate. However, if that is not what your recipe is all about, then you can always mix the cannabis concentrate in a small amount of liquor like rum, vodka, etc., but avoid mixing it with a liquor that is water based as then it won't work as a carrier for cannabis oil.
3. Begin With A Small Batch
Not only should you take a small quantity of oil while trying your hands on cooking with CBD oil, but should also prepare a small batch first. First try the food so prepared and if it does feel right, then do prepare it again. But, the key here is to start smart, and start small. Once you are comfortable with the dosage of CBD so received, you can then make alterations in the future recipes, based on the dose that you can really enjoy.
4. Be Mindful Of The Temperature
When cooking with CBD oil, always be careful about the temperature as CBD tends to evaporate at temperatures higher than 160–180°C (320–356°F). Thus, keep a tab on the temperature level and whenever possible, cook on lower temperatures to be able to relish the true essence of CBD in your food.
5. Always Store It Right
There is no denying the fact that cannabinoids are heat and light sensitive. Therefore, if you don't really want to change the taste of the food prepared with CBD oil and degrade its quality, then it is advisable to store the food items in a dark and cool place.
So, what are you waiting for? Follow these simple tips and enjoy cooking with CBD oil and experience the benefits that this component has to offer.
Learn The Famous Laws About The Legal CBD Use
There are many uses of CBD these days. With so many products and so many forms in which CBD is available at present, it becomes easier to find the ones you need. However, what is important is to search for a renowned supplier of these products. Someone who has carved a niche for themselves in the market by offering premium grade supplies should be your preferred choice. In case you need information about the common types of CBD products that you can get at the present time, then keep on reading!
CBD tinctures are high on demand these days. If taken from a reliable supplier, you will be glad to experience CBD in its purest form with these products. Look for a company that offers THC free and Phytocannabinoid-Rich (PCR) Tincture products which are created with hemp seed oil and grape seed oil. If you are fond of flavored products, then you can even try different flavors like peppermint, orange, and lemon.
Pills & Capsules
Pills and gel based capsules are one of the easiest ways to take CBD. These can be taken every day along with your other supplements. On top of the ease, these also help in noting down the amount of CBD that you are taking every day as the quantity of CBD is mentioned on the pills and capsules. Get Phytocannabinoid-Rich (PCR) Hemp Oil soft gels which are created from water-soluble liquid with 7.5% CBD, along with other minor phytocannabinoids such as CBG, CBN, CBC, and other naturally present terpenes.
Crystals and Isolate
If you are a fan of CBD crystalline products, then you will be glad to know that you can get CBD Isolate with concentrations of over 99%. After creation, the CBD crystals are then crushed to give you pure CBD powder which is easy to use and which is highly effective. Being oil soluble, these products are ideal for edibles, vape, cosmetics, as well as for liquid formulations.
Search for a CBD supplier who offers Phytocannabinoid-Rich (PCR) Hemp Oil Salve which is created with beeswax and coconut oil as well as from the essential oils that you like. Perfect for external body applications, topicals are in great demand these days. Different products that have CBD are lotions, lip balms, salve, thanks to the skin benefits that this component offers. Along with this, topicals are also helpful to treat different conditions such as inflammation, acne, psoriasis, anti-aging, and the rest.
Vape Oils
You can find a trusted supplier of cannabinoid oil vapes that are manufactured using natural vegetable glycerin. There are many vape lovers in the world out there, and thus, sourcing high quality CBD vape oil is important for them. While these can be smoked orally, there are many other ways in which oils can be used such as in e-liquid and e-juice products.
CBD oral sprays are convenient to use and give a high-level dose of hemp-derived CBD to the consumers. All that they need to do is to spray the dose in their mouths and they will have an effective and quick absorption of CBD which is known to help in various medical conditions like chronic pain, arthritis, stress and anxiety.

Thanks, AdWeek, for alerting me to the marketing campaign which broke my brain. Seriously. Twilight CARS?
Volvo just launched WhatDrivesEdward.com. Because nothing says says "vampire" like a shiny Swedish "crossover" vehicle. (Watch out! The dramatic violin music on that website might… put you to sleep.)
Writes AdWeek's Kenneth Hein:
"Presumably with Twilight being a tween girl franchise, they are hoping that the message might be picked up by moms to use the Volvo to take their adolescent little vampires to soccer practice," said Lucian James of the brand strategy consultancy Agenda.
Wow, that sounds… absolutely ridiculous! Here's how they're tying together Edward Cullen's creepy obsessive need to take care of Bella with a $34,000 hatchback:
There's more to life than a Volvo. There's having the power to keep safe what you hold most dear.
Just like there are 7 vampires better than Edward Cullen, there are at least two spooky cars better than his dumb Volvo:
The Munsters' car.
The Addams Family car.
Because just like Edward, a the Volvo XC60 doesn't have any bite.

SKF examines the future of industry with new thought leadership report
2015 February 05, 09:00 CEST
Gothenburg, Sweden, 4 February, 2015: SKF, in partnership with industrial technology experts and academics from across the globe, has released a new thought leadership report focusing on the future of manufacturing and engineering. The document, entitled 'Power the Future', features contributions by specialists from within SKF and leading external authorities. It focuses on current and emerging trends in engineering technology and processes, and outlines how the factory, machinery and the workforce will evolve in the near future.
Power the Future will enable engineers and students to develop a greater knowledge of three main areas of interest that are predicted to become increasingly prevalent to future technology developments in a variety of key global industrial segments. The report is divided into three chapters, which focus on the evolution of the factory, the future of intelligent machine design, and the power of knowledge engineering.
The report was unveiled on Tuesday 3rd February 2015 in Berlin, Germany, at a preview event for journalists from around the world designed to give them a first glimpse of innovations due to be showcased at Motion, Drive & Automation at Hannover Messe, one of the world's largest trade fairs for industrial technology.

Everything is too good to be true.
Last Friday seemed like any other day; "Born to Die" was still in heavy rotation on my computer and I was just like, "Is it time to drink yet?"
Then the new Destiny's Child track dropped via Mashable and we froze. In an office filled with plenty of men, it was exciting to hear "Nuclear" blasting from computers besides my own. DC broke up in 2005 which meant no more matching outfits, the loss of the last (also: best) female R&B/pop trio was done. It was okay because Beyoncé would come out with new music, marry Jay-Z, and prance around in front of a flaming car. We all took a big sigh like all was right in the world. But what Destiny's Child meant to music was, and always will be, significant. They were flawless, they could sing, and they could really fucking dance.
"Nuclear" could have been the worst song of the year and everyone would still have listened to it—but it wasn't. The intro vaguely reminded me of "Gospel Medley" off Survivor. Michelle, Kelly and Beyoncé still kill it vocally.
The same can't be said for Justin Timberlake. Late Sunday night, JT made his comeback after seven years out of music. "Suit & Tie" isn't his best work, but it matters. "I be on my suit and tie shit." When you write it out, isn't impressive, but he still fucking has it. His voice is smooth over the soulful beat. Yes, it sounds a little like Robin Thicke. If it didn't, Robin Thicke wouldn't have been trending on Twitter the day it dropped. Jay-Z's feature solidifed the strategic, and well-made moves JT has had in his career.
This is a former boy band member who we watched, and loved, in N'Sync even when he had bleached tips, wore metallic suits, and had ombré sunglasses. It doesn't even feel corny to be proud that I sat third row at the No Strings Attached tour with a crop top and tattoo necklace on, crying when Justin hit the stage. He's never failed. As a single, "Suit & Tie" isn't phenomenal, but JT making new music is.
Juelz Santana making new music threw everyone for a loop. We haven't heard anything from him in years, and yet he popped up on Monday with God Will'n. The features are incredible—Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Meek Mill, Fabolous, Wiz Khalifa, Lloyd Banks, Future, and Jeremih. Juelz knows he can stand up lyrically against the best of them, and we're thankful that creative funk is dead and gone. He must be, too:
Wednesday was just,
And then "My Boo" starts blasting and I think, "Dang, I haven't heard this in a while." Then I immediately start thinking of how I held hands with a boy and skated to this at Rainbow Roller Rink in Tonawanda, NY at my third grade birthday party. But who didn't want to be at that So So Def beach party in the music video? Long before the day that Jessica Simpson had that crazy Dukes of Hazzard car wash scene, we watched the Ghost Town DJs paint their nails and dance around a Land Rover with soap and a hose. Thank you.
But that's beside the point. SO SO DEF IS BACK. Jermaine Dupri, Jagged Edge, Da Brat, Dondria, Fresco Kane, and Bow Wow on Game's "Celebration" was unexpected. Hearing Da Brat spit, "Popped a molly, I'm on vacation, woo!" was beautiful. After her stint in jail, we heard her and Jermaine Dupri on that "Look At Me Now" remix, but this is different. This is the return of So So Def. Da Brat could have, and possibly did, take the route that Nicki Minaj is being criticized for right now—she had some pop-rap hits. "What Chu Like" with Tyrese is one. Remy Ma is in jail and Lil Kim did some weird shit to her face and then released a tasteless diss album at Nicki, complete with a bloody cover but now Da Brat has made herself relevant again, even if just for a bit. But the return of Kriss Kross is just unbelievable. What do they even sound like now? How will they wear their pants? OK, jokes are played out. But "Jump" was 21 years ago. 21 years!
After revisiting a long lineage of So So Def hits, up pops someone reminding me that Future dropped his latest mixtape, FBG: The Movie. With a song featuring Sisqo. This could turn into an entire rant about why we are all really lucky to be living in a world where Future makes music, but instead, we'll focus on Sisqo. This week has been nothing but a revival of the memories of frosted tips, but we will be OK.
The last track on the mixtape, "See It To Believe" is on some R. Kelly "The World's Greatest" type shit with an inspirational hook and hearing Sisqo's crescendo on it gave me damn near goosebumps. Thank you, Future. And welcome back, Sisqo.
The day isn't even over and Master P drops Al Capone. The braggadocio, mafia-influenced mixtape showcased that the No Limit God was ready for his comeback, too. Maybe this was expected after he dropped "It Don't Make No Sense" with Chief Keef and Fat Trel earlier this month. Either way, some of the music actually sounds surprising dope so it's nice to have him back, too.
It's possible we're hyping the week up, now. But it's exciting that the biggest entertainers of our formative years all chose the same week to make serious comebacks. It's refreshing to see that most—if not all—of the aforementioned artists can still succeed, and garner attention, years after their greatest hits. It gives me faith that one day, my grandchildren will appreciate the sound of Future's crooning, Auto-Tuned voice as much as I hope, and anticipate, that they will.
But for now, Lil Romeo:
We're waiting on you.

Nails Can Reveal Your Health
"By a man's fingernails...a man's calling is plainly revealed." So says Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in a Study in Scarlet, speaking as the famous detective Sherlock Holmes. Besides occupation, the nails may reveal one's habits, anxiety level, and certain health problems.
Pale Nails
White nails with a rim of darker color at the tip of the nail is called Terry's nail and rarely a sign of a severe liver disease called cirrhosis. Most people with this nail change are otherwise in good health.
White Nails
Although totally white nails present since birth may be an inherited condition with no implications as to general health, if it occurs later in life, it may be a sign of several systemic diseases, including cirrhosis, chronic renal failure, congestive heart failure, diabetes mellitus, chronic hypoalbuminemia, and Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Yellow Nails
The so-called "yellow nail syndrome" occurs in patients with serious pulmonary disease and lymphedema (swelling of the extremities). In these patients, most if not all of the nails are yellowish.
Bluish Nails
In this condition, the nails are really normal in color but the nail bed, the tissue that lies beneath the nail plate, is blue. This is commonly called nail bed cyanosis and is a sign of poorly oxygenated blood or more accurately unoxygenated hemoglobin, the oxygen carrying protein in red blood cells.
Rippled Nails
Nail pitting is a classical sign of psoriasis in the nail. This appears as tiny holes in the nail surface. Rippling of the nail surface is seen in patients with dermatitis of the fingertips. This can be a result of atopic dermatitis, irritant dermatitis, or allergic contact dermatitis.
Split or Cracked Nails
Brittle nails, onychoschizia and onychorrhexis, are often a condition of the elderly.
Puffy Nail Fold
The skin around the edge of the nail can be damaged by many things. It is unusual in that aside from the retina the capillary morphology can be evaluated using magnification. Damaged capillaries caused by certain autoimmune collagen vascular disease can give the skin and cuticle a "moth-eaten" appearance.
Dark Lines Beneath the Nail
There are a number of reasons for the appearance of a linear brown or black streak extending from the cuticle to the tip of the nail. Since it is not possible to visualize the source of the color since it resides in the nail matrix below the nail fold, it is frequently a cause for anxiety in the patients and their doctors. A biopsy may be required in order to be sure it is not a form of skin cancer.
Gnawed Nails
As with any unpleasant habit, the cooperation of the patient is necessary to modify the behavior. It would be unusual that this sort of addiction would signal the appearance of some deep underlying psychopathology.
Nails Are Only Part of the Puzzle
Changes in the nails occasionally may signal a significant systemic disease. Most of the time, nail signs are self-limited and tend to resolve on their own. Patience is a necessity in dealing with nails because their turnover is slow. It may take many months for a damaged nail to replace itself entirely.

Celebrate Red Cross Month by getting involved
Send a link to a friend
10, 2014]
PEORIA — During Red Cross Month,
the American Red Cross invites everyone to make a difference in
their communities by giving blood, volunteering, taking a class or
making a financial donation. Those supporters enable the Red Cross
to continue to help people in need, like the Roux family.
"Without the blood transfusions, I
don't know that he would have even had the 10 months we had with
him," she said.
At that point Jenny again turned to the Red Cross, and the
organization's Service to the Armed Forces program provided
emergency communications about Blake's death to her husband, who was
deployed to Iraq.
Thanks to everyday heroes, the Red Cross was there for the Roux
family in their time of need.
The Red Cross invites the public to discover their inner hero
this month. To make an appointment to donate blood or for more
information about other ways to get involved with the Red Cross,
visit www.redcrossblood.org
or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
Upcoming blood donation opportunity
in Logan County:
How to donate blood
Simply call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit
www.redcrossblood.org to
make an appointment to donate blood or for more information. All
blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A
blood donor card or driver's license or two other forms of
identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17
years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at
least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible.
High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger
also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

If God listens to a group of Franciscan friars, a certain Bible thief is going to get the runs.
The members of the Florence religious order are praying for the unusual vengeance to be brought down on whoever stole a rare edition of the good book from the lectern of the 15th century church of San Salvatore al Monte. Making matters worse, a replacement bible donated by a worshiper also promptly went missing, according to the Italian newspaper La Stampa.
"We pray to God that the thief is struck by a strong bout of the sh--s," the friars wrote in a note posted in the church, where Michelangelo once worshiped. Such a condition might "encourage him to carry out no further thefts."
The friars hope their own transgressions - praying for vengeance and using profanity to boot - will be forgiven.
"It is not exactly clean language," a friar told the paper. "But we couldn't put up with it any longer. The Lord and the faithful will understand."

Some Idaho residents return home after wildfire, others flee
BOISE, Idaho Some evacuated residents in the central Idaho resort area of Ketchum and Sun Valley received permission to return home Monday while residents in the tiny town of Atlanta about 50 miles to the west threatened by a different wildfire are being ordered out.
Blaine County spokeswoman Bronwyn Nickel says residents of about 100 homes have been allowed to return but about 2,000 homes remain under mandatory evacuation orders due to the 160-square-mile Beaver Creek Fire. The blaze is 8 percent contained.
Meanwhile, residents of Atlanta have been told to leave by noon Monday because of the 3-square-mile Little Queens Fire burning about 6 miles to the northwest through grass and timber.
- More crews sent in to battle Idaho wildfire
- Idaho blaze gives firefighters another tough day
- 1,600 homes evacuated as Idaho wildfire burns
Fire managers say a shortage of resources due to other large wildfires in the region is hampering firefighting efforts.
An Elmore County dispatcher says the town has about 30 full-time residents plus seasonal residents. She didn't have an estimate on the number of homes involved.
The last evacuation orders near a northern Utah wildfire were being lifted Monday morning after a series of mountain fires burned more than a dozen homes.
More than 100 residents who were forced to leave Rockport Estates and Rockport Ranches in Summit County, about 45 miles east of Salt Lake City.
In Oregon, dozens of homeowners near The Dalles remained on alert as crews battle the Government Flat Complex of wildfires.
Fire spokesman David Morman said the fires were 12 percent contained Monday morning, and had scorched 1,500 acres.
Crews were working to keep the flames from the local water treatment plant, which supplies water for much of The Dalles.
Residents of about 35 of the 70 homes threatened have been told to prepare for evacuation.
Morman says afternoon winds could be a problem for firefighters.
The potential for erratic winds Monday were also problematic for crews in Northern California, where the 3-square-mile Swedes Fire in Butte County had consumed one home and was threatening hundreds more. It was 45 percent contained, but evacuation orders for hundreds remained in place.
Firefighters gained the upper hand on a brush fire in Calabasas that forced the closure of several lanes of U.S. 101 in Southern California.
Los Angeles County fire officials say the flames, which were sparked by a car fire Sunday afternoon, spread uphill and burned 170 acres. The fire was near a condominium complex.
The California Highway Patrol temporarily shut down several westbound lanes of the freeway, and an off-ramp to Las Virgenes Road. The closures caused traffic to back up for miles.
Calabasas is home to several gated communities northwest of Los Angeles.
