Medical Cannabis has been used as a Medical therapeutic agent for thousands of years, with its compounds used to treat a variety of ailments and symptoms. This makes it one of the oldest known treatments, derived from nature, known to man.
There is mounting evidence globally that Medical Cannabis formulations can treat a wide range of conditions. The American National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine issued a groundbreaking report on The Health Effects of Cannabis and Cannabinoids: The Current State of Evidence that found there is conclusive evidence that Medical Cannabis is an effective treatment for chronic pain, chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, and multiple sclerosis spasticity symptoms.
It also found that there is substantial and growing evidence for use in the treatment of many other conditions including sleep conditions, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, glaucoma symptoms, symptoms associated with motor system diseases, such as Parkinson's, and cancer.
Canada, North America, Israel and many other countries around the world are already using Medical Cannabis to treat patients with symptoms including muscle spasms caused by multiple sclerosis, nausea from cancer chemotherapy, poor appetite and weight loss caused by chronic illness, such as HIV, or nerve pain and seizure disorders including epilepsy.
The Cannabis plant contains close to 500 compounds, of which ~100 have been identified as cannabinoids, with the most active cannabinoids said to be Cannabidiol (CBD) and Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Depending on the condition, different variations of Medical Cannabis formulations can be used. MGC Pharma is focused on developing Medical Cannabis genetic strains with high CBD content, in order to increase the yield of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), in this case, CBD extract for use in Phytomedicines products requiring a high CBD formula.
These cannabinoids work with the body's natural endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system has two receptors: CB1, found in the brain and CB2, found in the central nervous system. Cannabinoids have been found to bind with the receptors, creating a reaction in either the brain or the central nervous system, depending on the receptor. It is the interactions between the receptors and the cannabinoids that have been found to make Medical Cannabis an effective therapeutic treatment.
MGC Pharmaceutical's vision is to be a global leader in Phytocannabinoid-based medicine within the biopharmaceutical industry. We want to transform Phytocannabinoids into medical products to provide breakthrough solutions for prevalent global health issues to improve the quality of patients' lives and contribute to improved public health.
More countries and pharmaceutical companies around the world are realizing the significant potential of Medical Cannabis as a therapeutic treatment and there is no doubt that this industry will continue to grow.

The IDF (Zahal) is prepared for every threat, be it on the ground, at sea, or in the air. But with threats from several enemies, how exactly does the IDF (Zahal) prepare for the danger posed by enemies? In order to be ready for attacks, one unique squadron prepares the whole Air Force by simulating dog fights and emulating enemy forces and tactics – creating scenarios as close as possible to what pilots may face in war.
One by one, and from every direction, combat aircrafts take off in a dizzying rush. At first, it may be possible to follow their actions, but they disappear from sight in seconds, dashing towards the designated aerial training zone. Up in the sky, dozens of airplanes fight head-to-head.
Israel Air Force pilots are used to practicing day or night, and in every part of the country. In the IAF, one squadron specializes in simulating the enemy. The Flying Dragon, also known as the Red Squadron, is a practice squadron whose objective is to simulate enemy aircrafts for the purpose of training other IAF fighter squadrons and preparing them for war.
The squadron effectively serves as the operational branch of the IAF's Advanced Training Center in southern Israel's Ovda airbase. Established in its current form five years ago, this training squadron specializes in enemy simulations, both in the air and on the ground. They expertly prepare IAF pilots, as well as pilots from around the world, for real-life aerial combat scenarios through head-to-head drills.
Capt. Omer is a 25-year-old pilot in the IAF's Flying Dragon. He spends most of his time in the IAF's F-16 fighter squadron, the Negev Squadron, while often training with the Flying Dragon.
Capt. Omer discussed the opportunities that this squadron provides in order to reach ultimate preparation for possible attacks. "The quality of the Flying Dragon is that we have many capabilities: the best aircraft, the best pilots, the best technology for simulations and a large area for exercises (southern Israel)," Capt. Omer explained. "Our job is to bring the exercise to an unprecedented difficulty level for the other squadrons."
The Flying Dragon is unique in that it is able to create specific, tactical plans in order to deal with obstacles provided by the enemy. "To simulate the enemy in different operational situations, we hold exercises – each one with a different plausible enemy-attack scenario, where 2-3 squadrons participate. Our mission is to stage an attack as close to an enemy attack as possible, with the missions of the other participating squadrons to take down our planes [the enemy planes] before they can attack."
While most of the IAF's combat squadrons are busy with their operational duties, with little time to focus on simulating enemy attacks, Capt. Omer explained that these simulation exercises are critical to the IAF's ultimate preparedness. "These workshops allow for all squadrons to be on the same page, as they gain more knowledge on the enemy itself and what a possible attack would look like, depending on the enemy."
Recognizing that the air force was lacking something crucial in its training, the decision was made to allocate planes and pilots for enemy simulation. "During these exercises, we try to take down the aircraft of the participating squadrons using enemy tactics. If they have been 'downed' by us [the enemy], we lower their scores and they are requested to return to their base. The squadron that comes in first place gets a trophy," Capt. Omer said.
How exactly is the squadron able to stage enemy aircrafts and mimic their tactics for attack? "We work diligently with the IAF Intelligence Formation and, along with our experience, we work to understand precisely how enemy air forces, and their aircraft, work. We then simulate these different threats and that is how we stage an enemy attack."
While the Flying Dragon is not an operational squadron, all its pilots have emergency postings and its aircraft are equipped to serve as combat aircraft in the event of war.
"We always pick exercises that are operationally relevant," Capt. Omer said. "The squadron is very advanced and holds exercises that are considered very difficult, even for IAF standards."
Going global
The IAF's development of the Flying Dragon Squadron has come to the attention of air forces around the world, and has even led to several international exercises being held in Israel.
"In the past few years, we have become a central part of global air force exercises being held in Israel. We have been involved in exercises with other nations' air forces that come to Israel, such as the U.S. Air Force, the Italian Air Force, and the Polish Air Force."
In the eight years since its establishment, the Flying Dragon Squadron has come to be regarded as among the best in the IAF. "We are known to hold quality exercises," Capt. Omer said. "Many IAF squadrons wish to practice with us to be as prepared as possible for war."


text: By Dr. Anthony Policastro People spend a lot of time arguing about things. If we stop and think about it, much of that time is not worth the effort. The gist of most arguments is the expectation that one person is right and the other is wrong. Even in the best of circumstances one person is not going to be right 100% of the time. That means that sometimes when you argue about something, you are wrong. One question then to ask when you are having an argument is whether it really matters if one person is right and the other is wrong. In most circumstances the world will not end if one person is correct and the other is not. So, why bother arguing about something that has no real long term impact? Another issue is the type of arguments that people tend to have. Most of them are about trivial things. The thing that begins the argument is frequently not worth arguing about. A classic is the issue of leaving the toilet seat up or down. In the overall scheme of things, is it really a serious issue? Is it really worth arguing over? One of the things I frequently tell newly married couples is to spend some time looking at their first few arguments. When they take their wedding vows, they are only thinking about each other. If I were to ask them on their wedding day if they would have an argument over a toilet seat, they would think I was crazy. The third thing that frequently occurs in arguments is transitioning from the original issue to an unrelated issue. The classic example of this is the adolescent who wants to go somewhere and the parents say "no." It goes from being an issue about a particular item to a generalization such as "you never let me have any fun." There are some important lessons to be learned when there is any kind of argument. The first is that the two parties must stop and ask themselves some questions. This is the hardest part of all. When someone gets into a situation like this, it is hard to come up for air. However, that is the only way to do it. Once that is done, there are three questions that need to be asked. The first is whether it really matters who is right or who is wrong. In most circumstances even if one person is right, it matters very little in the overall scheme of things. So why argue? The second question is whether the issue is really an important one. In most cases it is not. So why argue? The third question is whether the argument is about the issue that started it all or has it transitioned to something else? If it has transitioned, then it makes sense to go back to the original issue. Once you do that, you will find that the first two questions then apply. The result will still be the same. Why argue? Foot care for diabetics An average of 235 amputations a day are performed in the United States on patients with diabetes. Each year one in 20 people with diabetes will develop a foot ulcer which may result in chronic non-healing wounds and, in extreme cases, lead to amputation. Tragically, those cases are hardly isolated: on average a staggering 235 amputations a day are performed in the United States on patients with diabetes. "Most people with diabetes know the importance of checking blood sugar levels while the importance of daily foot exams is underemphasized, even though the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found that comprehensive foot care programs can reduce diabetes-related amputation rates by 45 to 85 percent," says Katherine J. Rowland, chief clinical officer for the National Healing Corporation. The local experts at Nanticoke Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center, a National Healing Corporation Wound Healing Center, recommend these foot care tips:

Hi! My name is Agueda and hopefully you will find me @DateAStartup from time to time. Here, I will tell you about my experience as an intern in LuzWavelabs, a Spanish startup that develops State-if-the-Art Technology based on #photonics, #electronics and #RF.
To give you a reference, I studied Economics, I have no dog, no boyfriend, no mortgage and I can´t consider myself a techy. Nonetheless, after a one-year-internship in Israel, I thought I knew something about "apps". I found myself seduced by the "Startup Nation". The high-tech ecosystem and the entrepreneurship way of life seemed easygoing and fun. So, being aware that my short career ain´t too bright and that added value is the key for future, joining a startup sounded to me as a natural step on my way to the business world.
As a result, instead of following my peers and joining a big company, betting for a proper trainer, a program to follow and a big name to add to my resume… I chose a six-people team, one single room, and a coffee machine about to break down.
Welcome to the startup world!
I started working at LWL about two months ago. I was given a computer, a mug with my initials, and more or less… that was all. "Do your magic!"- CEO said, as he put his headphones on once again.
It is said that beginnings are always difficult, but this one was kind of "expert level"· for me.
My CEO is a genius, our CTO same-same, and it seems that everybody speaks a language that I don´t know…. What the f**** i´m doing here, trying to understand the future of Telecom infrastructures? Why I´m wondering about photonics and the uses of light in aerospace industry? I studied balance of payments and GDP equations, not bandwidth and lengthwave…. Something might be wrong…
At the beginning, it looked to me that the startup world was just for programmers, IT guys and developers. But non-techy profiles have a key role too. Good lawyers to shield the technology; communication experts to contact key partners; a salesforce to get revenue as soon as possible….
It doesn't matter if you plan to become a big company, part of Google, or sell the startup to a third party and live like a millionaire. Your core team will need some support. Some support to put your startup on the map. You will need someone to communicate what you do around the world. Someone able to show your idea beyond the walls of your lab, capable to speak "investor-language", "costumers-language", "suppliers-language", etc.
As an economist, I joined Luz Wavelabs team as a Business Developer, and I never found myself in a situation like this. Hopefully, I joined a startup. I have no trainer and there´s not a manual that I can come to. Every time I have a question, I ask our CEO and we try to figure out the right answer… Being part of a startup is a great opportunity to learn and grow, because, we are all learning at the same time. I started as an intern and as an expert in my field. My opinion and knowledge are appreciated and required. This is not a big company with old experienced workers, so… we will have to trust each other.
As a result, for the next few months, we will be learning by doing and fighting at the same time, trying to do our best on our common ground, Luz Wavelabs. In addition, from time to time, I will share this experience with you through @DateAStartUp so that we can all learn and discuss the ideas and knowledge that this one year internship is providing me. Hope to see you soon around here!

Meteor Asset Management has withdrawn its bid for Keydata's structured products' book and its associated administration, Money Marketing understands.
It was the front-runner to buy the investment book which originally totalled about £180m, as well as some of Keydata's third-party admin business but talks with administrator PricewaterhouseCoopers are understood to have broken down.
In January, Meteor announced it was acquiring the structured product investment books of NDF Administration and Defined Returns Limited from administrator Grant Thornton subject to final due diligence despite facing unresolved individual complaints over its own marketing and sales of Lehman-backed structured products. The transfer completed on March 5.
PwC announced last June that Keydata would not be sold in its entirety after discovering information which suggested that £103m of client money invested in life settlement vehicles had been liquidated and may have been misappropriated.
A PwC spokeswoman says: "We can confirm we are still in discussions with a number of parties regarding the sale of certain Keydata assets but we cannot comment on individual companies as we have signed reciprocal confidentiality clauses with all interested parties."

JOHOR BARU: Only one case of RON95 fuel being sold to the owner of a foreign-registered vehicle was recorded in the state in 2017, the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs' Johor office said.
Similarly, only one complaint of the fuel being sold to a foreigner in Johor in 2017 was received by the Ministry.
"We investigated that complaint and the necessary action was taken," said its enforcement chief Aris Mamat when contacted by NSTP.
RON95 fuel was banned from sale to owners of foreign-registered vehicles beginning in Aug 2010.
Aris said the ministry has been distributing notices at all petrol stations in the state, reminding the public of the ban.
"Anybody who is found to contravene the ban will be investigated under Section 21 of the Control of Supplies Act 1961," he added. © New Straits Times Press (M) Bhd

Tibetan folk dancers from the group "Gaba Sha Trul," celebrated their culture during a performance halfway through the session.
A group of about 60 people vigorously discussed social change, and Buddhist dharma, during the 2012 Northwest Dharma Association annual gathering March 17.
The day-long event, in Wyckoff Auditorium at Seattle University, started with snow outside and ended with sun, as the people inside exchanged perspectives on how to best apply Buddhist teachings to the need for political, environmental and societal change.
To Elaine Waller-Rose, active in the Seattle Buddhist Peace Fellowship, the bridge is natural.
"What is necessary is an interest in contemplative practice, and an interest in how you use yourself, and your energies, to further the beings in the world," she said.
Most participants seemed to agree that Buddhist practice isn't at all in opposition with taking social, political or environmental action, arguing that engagement in the world is embedded in the Buddha's original teachings.
Rich Harlan, a leader in Buddhist Peace Fellowship Seattle, makes a point in his presentation about social action and the dharma.
"Zen has been from the very beginning an ecological practice," said Jason Wirth, co-director of EcoSangha, and a professor at Seattle University. "EcoSangha stresses the ecological side of the practice, not as an add-on, but as what has always been fundamental."
A sense of urgency underlay much of the discussion, with people expressing concern about the degeneration of the global environment, and other signs of rising global difficulties in the future.
Because of this Terran Campbell, who is both a Buddhist practitioner and an activist, said she is more focused on "collective" than "individual" enlightenment.
"We're in trouble, we're really in trouble, and I just hope we can get it together and take action," she said.
She quoted Vietnamese teacher Thich Nhat Hahn: "If we continue abusing the earth this way, there is no doubt our civilization will be destroyed."
Kurt Hoteling, who conducts mindfulness trainings for military veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, and who also leads wilderness mindfulness kayak trips, said he thinks sometimes people feel distanced from the problems facing the world.
"So much of what prevents us humans from meeting the challenges we face ecologically, is we don't feel in ourselves, and in our bones, how much is at stake," he said.
At times there were disagreements, such as how essential non-violence is in social action, and what non-violence means from a Buddhist perspective.
Ven. Tulku Yeshe Gyatso, a monk from Sakya Monastery in Seattle, spoke movingly of compassion, and the situation of people in Tibet.
For instance Rick Harlan, an organizer in Seattle Buddhist Peace Fellowship, said that sometimes a tactic that includes property damage, such as cutting through a fence around a military installation, may be within the sphere of non-violence if makes an effective statement about the larger violence in the culture.
"There's non-violence as passivity, then there's active, aggressive, peaceful non-violence," he said.
One woman from the audience protested that such tactics risked getting too far away from the Buddha's teachings of kindness.
"When it is OK to hurt another? Never," she said, adding that an underlying axiom must be "Do no harm."
Ven. Tulku Yeshe Gyatso, a monk of Tibetan origins from Sakya Monastery in Seattle, spoke movingly of the sacrifices made by 28 Tibetans nationals who have self-immolated in protest against Chinese control of their culture.
Then he turned the discussion toward compassion, even on the level of the smallest living beings in one's own back yard.
"If you don't want to help the small beings in your kitchen or yard, how can you think about world peace?" he asked.
His remarks were preceded by a colorful performance of Tibetan folk dances by "Gaba Sha Trul," a troupe of Tibetan dancers from the Kham region of eastern Tibet.
Despite some differing views, an appreciation of the efficacy of the Buddha's teachings underlay the discussions.
"I think it's a fine balance, but if we keep the understanding of Buddhist teachings, of the ethical life and moving forward into intention, we'll learn in the moment what needs to be done. What needs to be done is whatever needs to be done to end suffering," said Rachel Moriah Beals, co-founder of Seattle Dharma Punx, a Capitol Hill meditation group.
In the afternoon, a panel shared views on Buddhism and social action. From the left: Ven Tulku Yeshe Gyatso, Sith Chaisurote, Rick Harlan, Elaine Waller-Rose, Denis Martynowych, Rachel Moria Beals, Kurt Hoelting, Jason Wirth, and Terran Campbell.
Denis Martynowych, executive director of Cloud Mountain Retreat Center, and a person who primarily practices in the Theravada tradition, suggested inner awakening is needed to accomplish enlightened social change.
"Social transformation and Buddhism, the profound opportunity that Buddhism brings, is really grounded in the understanding of non-self, that comes out of deep practice," he said. "I invite us to come back to the basic teachings as we come back to the bigger questions of social transformation."
Several there discussed post-traumatic stress disorder, suggesting a link between people's inner traumas, their actions in the world, and the possibility that healing can help improve societal conditions.
Emerging from the short break-out sessions near the end of the gathering, one person said he's come to appreciate his growing understanding of his own inner pain as a doorway to bring greater compassion to helping others heal their traumas.
"The most useful thing for me was the reminder that the pain that is always there is an opportunity to understand the pain that other people are in," he said.
At the end the mood turned celebratory and joyful, as people chanted together and sent blessings and light out to each other, and to all beings in the world.

Thank you so much, everyone, for your amazing response to the Business Travel Tips contest. After 56 excellent entries, we did a random drawing, and we have our two winners. Congratulations to Pat and Karen! They have each won a two-night stay in the Country Inn & Suites of their choice.
Pat's tip:
As a female, the best lesson I learned when traveling is to wear an A-line skirt or dress (not a pencil shape). It also helps if its made of material that will not wrinkle. It's convenient if you have to go to the restroom, and you don't worry about wrinkling your clothes if you sit for a long time.
Karen's tip:
In the last 2 years, i have never been held to a 1 qt. baggie size of liquids. i have been held to no more than 3oz. of anything – even cottage cheese!

Banana Lake 2018-02-13
11 hikers set out for Banana Lake. The first 'interesting' turn took us uphill, downhill, around, over and under trees until finally we made it to Banana Lake – the hard way. After a rather light lunch we set off again, but after skirting around a huge blow-down tree we saw white trail markers which were to take us back to our parked cars. WRONG!!! We were on a scenic tour which led us to Larry's Trail, and a 3km road hike to where we started. The 10km bushwacking hike was enjoyed by all and we are ready to bore you with the exaggerated tale of being lost at Banana Lake PHOTOS courtesy Art & Carolyn

text: With the heavy snow that pummeled the mid-Atlantic states last week, there were a number of news stories about tractor trailers which were involved in pile-ups in the bad weather. One report came from Maryland where a tractor trailer hit one vehicle that slowed for another car ahead of him and was rear-ended by a tractor trailer. The three-vehicle pile-up turned into a nine-car pile up as following vehicles, including another tractor-trailer, slammed into the pile-up. Five people had to be taken to the hospital.One of the things that stood out to me about this story was the description of the poor weather conditions, including snowy and icy roads and blowing snow. The other thing that stood out to me was that there were two tractor trailers involved in the accident.The reason that this stood out to me is that neither of the tractor trailers should have been on the road. 49 CFR Part 392.14 requires truck drivers to slow their vehicles and to exercise extreme caution when hazardous conditions such as snow, ice, fog, or smoke are present and if conditions are sufficiently dangerous, to cease operations and pull to the side of the road or exit the road. When there are slick, icy, snow-covered roads with blowing snow that further restricts visibility, the trucks should be getting off the road. Why? Because poor road conditions make it harder to stop and the enormous weight of the tractor-trailer make it likely that an accident will produce serious injuries.

Can I conclude that in fact BW is just one (big) CA that could have been build in the CAF ?
Admit it, you felt as much an SAP-rookie as I and all other BW experts did, when they were voluntarily forced to stumble over BW the first time 😉
With this knowledge about SAP BW you have an immense advantage in understanding a new SAP technology, as the concepts are thrillingly comparable. And what's the new technology called? CAF or – in order to get rid of another three letter acronym (TLA) – the Composite Application Framework.
What's BW?
Yes, I know that you know what BW is and how it works, but we need to extract the important parts for our comparison, therefore I'll make a very special definition:
BW is a system and framework, which allows you to build analytical applications, model-driven and based on metadata. It unifies the view on data from a variety of backend systems. The BW technology provides the tools and framework, and the Business Content covers the business scenarios and analytical applications. Structured data is preaggregated, transformed and enriched with other structured and unstructured data, and can be real-time. Data can reside in the BW-persistency and/or in remote systems. Most of the coding for dataload, transformation, storage and navigation is generated.
What's CAF?
Let's talk xApps now:
CAF is a framework, which allows you to build transactional business applications (=xApps), model-driven and based on metadata. It unifies and abstracts the view on data from a variety of backend systems. The CAF technology provides the tools and framework, the xApps cover the business scenarios and transactional applications. Data can be transformed, enriched with other structured or even unstructured data, and is real-time. Data can reside in the CAF-persistency and/or in remote systems. Most of the coding for transformation, storage and navigation is generated.
Doesn't that sound very similar to BW?
Comparison Chart
Better take a look at this table with the terms and concepts that you know and you'll see the terms in the new CAF-world:
|SAP Business Information Warehouse
|SAP Composite Application Framework
|InfoObject, ODS, InfoCube,…
|Business Object
|Updaterules, transferrules, Queries,…
|Web Templates
|UI patterns (WebDynpro)
|Drilldown, process chains, collaboration,…
|Guided Procedures
|InfoObject-, InfoCube-, ODS-maintenance
|Business Object Modeler
|Formula Wizard, ABAP Editor
|Service Modeler (Java)
Like the SAP BW was a significant revolution and paradigm-shift for the data warehouse-world, and how analytical applications were built and by whom (business process owners with no coding experience could suddenly develop large parts of the analytical application themselves), the CAF is the analog technology for the application world. If you understood BW, you already understand 80% of CAF.
8,000 BW installations show the proof of this concept for the analytical world — CAF takes it now to the transactional world.

About Alpacas
Alpacas are indigenous to the South American Countries of Peru, Chile and Bolivia and have been farmed for their highly prized fleece for centuries by the ancient Inca people and their ancestors in the high antiplano region of the Andes.
Alpaca (Latin name Vicugna Pacos) is a close relative of the Vicuna, Guanaco and Llama, all of which are found in South America. Alpacas can live for up to 25 years. An adult alpaca can weigh up to 100kg and stand approximately 39 inches to the wither. By comparison an adult Llama will be almost twice the size of an Alpaca and whereas Alpacas are bred primarily for their fleece, the larger Llama will also be used as a pack animal.
Alpacas are a very hardy animals and highly intelligent. They are very inquisitive and a pleasure to experience. The Alpacas qualities of their fleece mean that Alpacas are now bred in several countries around the world. Some of the largest herds outside of South America can be found in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, US and United Kingdom. As of 2005 it is estimated that there are approximately 11,000 Alpacas currently in the UK.
Alpaca Fibre
The fibre produced from Alpaca fleece is much finer than that of Sheep's wool, but extremely durable and second only in strength to silk.Alpaca fibre is exceptionally warm with a lustrous, soft feel (called the handle). The number of scales on individual Alpaca wool fibres is considerably lower than that of sheep's wool, which perhaps explains why people who are allergic to sheep's wool, do not have the same reaction to Alpaca fibre.
Alpaca fleece comes in 22 natural shades from White to jet Black.

Help Is Near
I confess, I tried to avoid it. Honestly, I did everything I could, but I just couldn't shake the flu that bit me last weekend. So yesterday, I dragged myself to the good doctor. Had a good streak going, too. I hadn't been to the doctor for something normal since 2010. And as it turns out, I now have a nice little pneumonia to deal with. This is me making a bluuhhhhh sound. Not good guys. But aren't you thankful for good doctors? Granted, I avoid medicine like Ms. Josey avoids the vet, but if you've read my latest book, The PrayFit Diet, you know I have a great spine surgeon as well as colon surgeon (both of whom I kept well-clothed and fed over the last four years) but I also have an amazing general practitioner. His office is lifted right out of a Norman Rockwell painting. "Neeeext?!" My name is called, and I know help is near.
Is it just me or does simply describing symptoms to your doctor make you feel a little better? Before anything is administered, as we sit on that bed and that thin, weird paper, just verbalizing what's going on inside seems to help. I don't know, maybe it's chemical. Maybe it's the assurance we get from the row of diplomas on the wall behind him. Or maybe it's because I trust him and he really knows me. Not sure, but simply expressing my hurt is healing.
Must be one of the reasons God wants us to pray without ceasing -- even on days when we can't pray without sneezing. Next? He's calling us. Help is real near. Let's tell Him where it hurts. His healing never ends. Have a great weekend everyone. Be safe and healthy, serve each other.
--Jimmy Peña
P.S.For those who aren't familiar with who "Ms. Josey Wales" is, here you go. She's helping me get all better. #mybestpal

How long does HIV live outside the body on surfaces and does it matter if the environment is wet or dry? What special cleaning/precautions can I take in the home setting to minimize risk to neg family members?
Response from Dr. Feinberg
I don't think there is a precise answer, and my educated guess is that HIV doesn't survive long at all, regardless of whether the surface is wet or dry. If you are talking about cleaning up fluid that is bloody, then a 10% bleach solution (1 part bleach to 9 parts water) will kill any HIV virus on contact. If you are talking about the everyday mess that all of us make (crumbs on the table and floor, dirty clothes on the floor, etc), then no special precautions need to be taken-- HIV just isn't spread in those ways.

(NOTE: When this episode was taped, details about the van attack in Toronto were just coming in. The Rebel will have more on this story in the coming days. We extend our condolences and prayers to victims, casualties, their loved ones, and first responders.)
Time magazine used to be mighty, especially back in the 20th century. They still claim to have more than a million subscribers, but that statistic is two years old, and in any case, my guess is that those are deeply discounted subscriptions, perhaps even free, just so they can say someone "buys" the magazine.
But I checked Time's official advertisers kit. Do you know how many people buy a copy of Time magazine on the newsstand on any given week? In all of America?
Thirty-two thousand.
Time is dead, but they still have a few legacy brands, like their "Man of the Year," and their "100 Influential People." It's a clickbait thing. So they have a pop star, Cardi B. For the Boomers who have no clue who Cardi B is, they have Nicole Kidman. But is she really one of the 100 most influential people in the world?
Here's what Time magazine's puff piece said about one of this year's Top 100, Justin Trudeau — a grand total of 80 words:
There will be a few names globally that will become etched in our history books. They will be the names that mark the shift in our political landscape, when younger politicians took the reins and heralded a different type of politics. Justin Trudeau will be one of them. Youth alone is not remarkable, but winning over people with a message of hope and warmth, tolerance and inclusion, when other politicians the world over choose an easier route —that is remarkable.
Other than a CBC staffer, would anyone in Canada say that?
Now look at this tweet by Gerald Butts, Justin Trudeau's life-long friend and his principal secretary:
@JustinTrudeau is one @TIME's list of the world's most influential people #TIME100
Butts was so proud of this. He tweeted about it again, later, too.
Tonight I'll explain why I think Butts did that, and what he accidentally revealed to the world.
Like any other teenager in Canada, Trudeau is obsessed by his selfies — and how many of his friends click "like". This was Time magazine telling him they "liked him."
And to Trudeau, and his team, that's more important than any boring old pipeline.
NEXT: Climate Depot founder Marc Morano and I talk about this year's Earth Day, which is more about empty virtue signalling than helping the environment.
THEN: Our own David Menzies comes on with an update on the Ontario provincial election, what the polls are saying, and Tanya Granic Allen's win in the Mississauga Centre riding.
FINALLY: Your messages to me!

You may recall that our last stop was more than a little upsetting, for me at least. Today's novel is one of my favorites from my Twentieth Century American Literature course. It takes place in Fingerbone, Idaho (possibly based on Sandpoint). Does this ring any bells? It is the setting of Marilynne Robinson's Pulitzer Prize-nominated novel, Housekeeping.
A synopsis:
The novel is centered around two young girls, Lucy and Ruth, and told from Ruth's perspective. The girls' mother lost her father at a young age, and went out on her own to marry. She didn't keep in touch with her mother. Her husband deserted her. Several years later, the mother dropped Lucy and Ruth off at their grandmother's house and then drove herself off of a cliff. Ruth, the older of the two, describes the continual abandonment felt by the girls and how they sought stability and love differently.
I would give you more of a description, but I think the Robinson is infinitely more poetic. I view this novel as a coming of age story, although, it may be a little more dreamlike than some. Robinson's mastery of the English language shows clearly in her writing, which is eloquent and beautiful. She makes you feel Ruth's struggle in spite of the fact that Lucy is probably the more relatable character.
It's hard for me to capture the essence of this novel. It was impossible for me to put down because the language sucked me in and made me feel as though I was Ruth. I felt the struggles of dealing with abandonment keenly. I also enjoyed the religious references throughout the novel. Ruth often speaks of "transient" people, those who ride in and out of town on trains, stopping briefly to wander around by the lake, looked down upon by the townspeople. In one description, Ruth connects this transient quality to Cain and the fate given to him by the Lord.
I wish I could give you a more complete review, but I think that this book is one you just have to experience. Some will find it a difficult read because they won't be able to connect with the main characters, or they will be bored by the poetic style, but Robinson has created in it a true picture of the challenges faced by children who come from broken homes and feel unloved and unwanted.
Should you read it? Yes. It is beautifully done. (Besides, you don't know why it's titled Housekeeping yet.)

The .465 Holland & Holland Magnum also known as the .465 Holland & Holland Belted Magnum or more simply as the .465 H&H Magnum, is a modern big bore firearms cartridge introduced by Holland & Holland in 2003 together with the .400 H&H Magnum. The .465 H&H Magnum is a .468 caliber, belted, rimless bottlenecked cartridge. The cartridge is a necked-up, shoulder-lowered tapered cartridge based on the .378 Weatherby Magnum case.
General information[edit]
Holland & Holland began receiving requests from potential customers for a cartridge that would provide more power than the .375 H&H Magnum. Holland & Holland director Russell Wilkins undertook the project which culminated in the .400 H&H Magnum and the .465 H&H Magnum cartridge designs. The original design requirements called for a muzzle energy of over 6,000 ft⋅lbf (8,100 J). To meet this requirement Holland & Holland chose the .460 Weatherby Magnum case as a starting point in their design.[1]
This .465 H&H Magnum cartridge is not the same as the famous .500/465 Nitro Express also designed by Holland & Holland for "India" double rifles. The .500/465 Nitro Express is the only other cartridge with the same bullet diameter as the .465 H&H Magnum. Both cartridges are designed to fire a 480-grain (31 g) .468 caliber (11.89 mm) bullet. Although, the cartridge is capable of operating at rather high pressures, Holland & Holland chose to load the cartridge to a moderate pressure of around 47,000 psi (3,200 bar). The moderate pressure of the cartridge ensures reliability and safety in the tropical climes in which the cartridge was intended to be used. Furthermore, the taper and shallow shoulder of the cartridge aids in the smooth, reliable feeding and extraction.[2]
The .465 H&H Magnum is an excellent cartridge for all-around game and African dangerous game including the Big 5. It has a similar trajectory to that of the .375 H&H Magnum.[1] It is considered as the best-balanced cartridge for hunting dangerous game in India(this reference was from my late father HE M A Rahman who was referring to the 465 India also known as the 500/465 H & H.[3]
Ammunition for the .465 H&H Magnum is being manufactured by Wolfgang Romey for Holland & Holland.
Both .465 H&H Belted Magnum cartridge and chamber specifications were standardized by CIP on 2006-09-19.[4] [5]
The .465 H&H Magnum is based on the .460 Weatherby Magnum case, itself based on the .378 Weatherby Magnum. The .378 Wea. Mag. was itself based on adding a belt to the .416 Rigby case & giving it a Weatherby double radius shoulder. Holland & Holland took the .460 Weatherby case and moved the shoulder back, creating a longer neck for the cartridge, and increased the body taper of the cartridge to improve feeding reliability. The case is also necked up to accept a .465 caliber (11.65 mm) bullet.
Rifles chambered for the .465 H&H Magnum have a bore ∅ of 11.65 mm (0.459 in) and a groove ∅ of 11.87 mm (0.467 in). Twist rate for rifles can range from one revolution in 406 mm (16.0 in) to 711 mm (28.0 in). The maximum average pressure suggested for the cartridge is 4,300 bar (62,000 psi).

Then I got the roses in focus but everything else was really out of focus. There were times when I couldn't get close enough or was too far away and I'd get random things in the background. It's interesting. But proof I have a long way to go.

Many vehicle owners will pause and consider the possibility that they have purchased a lemon when they are sitting in the repair shop getting a new vehicle repaired. New vehicles are generally designed so that they are repair-free for a certain period of time, but some vehicles will develop significant repair issues during the first few months of ownership. You may be researching lemon laws in your state to determine if you have a case, but a better option to consider is to call a Lincoln lemon lawyer for assistance. Your Lincoln lemon law attorney is experienced in this area of the law, and he can help you to determine how strong of a case you may have. More than that, a lemon law attorney Lincoln can also help you to determine if you should proceed with your case in a court of law.
Filing a lawsuit with the assistance of a Lincoln lemon lawyer may seem like a drastic step to take. However, there are several key reasons why you should contact a Lincoln lemon law attorney for assistance. For example, a lemon law attorney Lincoln may be able to fight for your rights so that the manufacturer replaces your vehicle with a new one. The law states that manufacturers are required to take this action if your vehicle is a true lemon. When you have a lemon, you may be dealing with an unreliable method of transportation and considerable repair expenses. These can be damaging to your life in a number of ways, and an attorney can help you to fight back.
The unfortunate truth is that most manufacturers will not simply comply with the law on their own if you contact them directly, and there often is a need to escalate the matter through the legal system with the assistance of a Lincoln lemon lawyer. If you have been looking for a Lincoln lemon law attorney to work with, consider finding a professional who has substantial experience in this area of the law. You want to find a lemon law attorney Lincoln who has a passion for this area of the law and who has a considerable understanding of it.

First International scientific and practical conference of magicians
Ukrainian Magicians Association (UAM) together with Academy of Universal Magic, Cure and Warlockry (AUMCIK) invites all followers to take part in First International scientific and practical conference of magicians on 25 December 2011 to take part in First International scientific and practical conference of magicians
Topic of the conference:
"Magic and its place in modern people`s lives".
Background: Despite the rapid growth of magic`s popularity in the society, its basic aspects, however, remain underreported and even distorted, which inevitably leads to some contradictions. Modern people are entangled in the nets of mass-media, religious dogma and social prejudices, both with respect to the concept of magic and its place in our lives. One facet of the problem lies in the fact that, as a rule, ordinary businessmen and charlatans perform the clarification of these issues, calmly performing their dirty business using people`s trust and lack of elementary esoteric literacy. Based on this, now more than ever people need clear and precise knowledge on the nature of magical phenomena, thus putting an end to widespread profanity and deception.
The following issues will be discussed at the conference:
1. Magic as one of the consciousness development ways.
2. Magic and esotericism. A variety of modern esoteric teachings. Comparative characteristics.
3. The relationship of magic and religion.
4. The possibilities of magic. Myths and misconeption.
5. Magic and the media. The pseudo-magical literature.
6. Magic and schizophrenia. Magic impact and human`s mistrust.
7. The criteria for identifying the true magicians and charlatans. Payment for magical services.
8. Legalaspects of magical services provision.
9. The difficulties and dangers of self-application of magical practices.
10. The possibilities of magic in helping law enforcement agencies.
11. The need to improve esoteric literacy.

12.00 - 24.00 Accomodation and check-in hotel.

An Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights corner was also established in our school after the UMN training. It has reading materials related to ASRH. Everyone in the school has access to it and we encourage them to make some time for reading these materials. I also read them during my leisure time. My favourite Menstrupedia comic book has helped me to obtain deeper understanding on menstruation and menstrual hygiene.
Putali Nepal improves girls' and women's menstrual hygiene through period education and sustainable products
Our Products
Ruby Cup
Cost-Efficient and reusable for up to 10 years
Ruby Cup is made from 100% medical grade silicon and can be reused for up to 10 years. Compared to buying disposable sanitary products buying a Ruby Cup is an investment which pays off after approximately 2.5 years.
Time saving and practial: Empty only every 12 hours
This means you can go through your entire day of school or work without having to empty Ruby Cup. No washing clothes, no extra effort buying sanitary products every month and no fear of leaking.
Environmentally friendly: No waste!
Due to its long lifespan using Ruby Cup saves the environment tons of disposable hygiene products every year. With a Ruby Cup there is no need to dump sanitary pads or tampons which are often bleached with harmful chemicals anymore.
Ruby Cup is a high-quality menstrual cup made from 100% medical grade silicon. When used correctly it can be used for up to 10 years. Ruby Cup is inserted into the vagina to collect the menstrual fluid. It is regularly emptied and reinserted.
Currently Ruby Cup is available for sale in Kar.ma Coffee, Jhamsikhel, Patan (across from Moksh Bar) for single purchase. While we do not sell Ruby Cups in bulk, we conduct Ruby Cup trainings within the Kathmandu valley during which they are distributed.
One Ruby Cup costs Nrs. 2200. It is available in the colours pink and blue. Each Ruby Cup comes with a 40-pages information brochure in Nepali or English explaining everything you need to know for a healthy period while using a Ruby Cup.

Menstrupedia Comic
Available in 2 languages
Currently Menstrupedia Comic is available in Nepali and English language for the Nepali market.
Recommended for the age of 9+
A comic book for girls and boys from roughly 5th to 10th grade. But also parents, teachers, health workers and activists will find the story inspiring and useful to open up the conversation on puberty and periods with children and youth.
Medically accurate, culturally sensitive and based on real life stories
Developed in India by Aditi Gupta and Tuhin Paul in consultation with medical doctors, Menstrupedia comic is a perfect teaching tool for schools, reproductive health programs and parents at home.
The Menstrupedia comic is a great resource to learn about puberty and menstruation in a fun and easy to understand way. It is a wonderful tool for organisations, activists, parents and schools alike to teach about these topics in an age-appropriate and culturally sensitive way. The Menstrupedia comic was developed by visionaries Aditi Gupta and Tuhin Paul in Ahmedabad, India and is available in Nepal so far in Nepali and English language. In the near future, we hope to add Hindi as well.
For single purchases please visit Kar.ma Coffee, Jhamsikhel, Patan (across from Moksh bar). Here are the directions.
For bulk orders contact us to arrange a collection in Jawalakhel, Patan. We provide regular pick-ups once a week.
One Menstrupedia comic costs Nrs. 550. For schools and local NGOs we offer discounted rates for bulk orders. Please get in touch with us to learn more.

Our Trainings
Ruby Cup Training
Our Ruby Cup Training…
- addresses questions on menstruation in a culturally-sensitive and age-appropriate way
- creates a comfortable environment to share experiences
- introduces eco-friendly alternatives to deal with periods
- supports participants during the first months of usage
In our Ruby Cup trainings we aim to create a save space for girls and women to talk about periods. The 3-hours session, which is led by an experienced trainer covers the usage of Ruby Cup, a Q&A session and a short review about the topic of menstruation. In order to ensure time for personal questions and active involvement the maximum number of participants is limited to 20. Please note that basic knowledge about the body, puberty and menstruation is required to participate in this training. We also accompany new users during their first months of use and evaluate the program after three months together.
Currently we are happy to provide trainings for interested organisations and individuals within the Kathmandu valley. Please contact us at least three weeks prior to your desired training date for scheduling and further details. On the workshop date we ask you to provide a cosy room, a projector and a computer.
If you are based outside of the Kathmandu valley, please get in touch with us as well, maybe there are ways we can work together as well.
For the first training for you as a host organisation we charge Nrs. 5000 for the 3-hours training. Each follow-up training costs Nrs. 3000. After the training the participants receive a 40-pages Nepali brochure about Ruby Cup and general aspects of a healthy menstrual hygiene management. If interested the Ruby Cup can be purchased by either the participants or the host organisation for the costs of Nrs. 1500 each.
If you are a local NGO or school working directly with girls you can inquire with us about our donation program that forms part of Ruby Cup's "Buy one give one"-principle. In case your group, school or organisation qualifies, we are able to provide Ruby Cups for free.

Menstrupedia Comic Training
Our Menstrupedia Comic Training…
- introduces periods and puberty to girls and boys in a sensitive way
- makes students review learnt content by having access to the comic in the library after the training
- is a one-hour session – perfect for schools
- is conducted by trainers who love to teach in an entertaining way
The Menstrupedia training is a sensitive way to introduce especially younger students (boys and girls in separate groups) to the topics of puberty and periods. This one-hour introductory session is meant to explain the basics regarding growing up, right nutrition during puberty, periods and maintaining menstrual hygiene. The recommended age to participate in this training is from 9 years onwards. We work with the "Hello Periods"-video for this training, which is an entertaining and age-appropriate resource.
For an initial training (so far only available in the Kathmandu Valley) we ask you to provide a projector and computer which is able to run a PDF presentation and play a video with audio. The session is easily repeatable and Putali Nepal can train teachers having this session each year to implement it into a school's or organisation's curriculum, for example from 6th grade onwards.
Our aim is to equip at least one classroom per school with a Menstrupedia Comic so it can be passed on each school year. Alternatively, a few copies could be made available in the school's or community's library. In order to achieve this goal we offer the following rates:
Get at least 30+ comics (rates for public schools only) for Nrs. 350 per book and get the training for free.
Purchase single copies for your library or classroom at a price of Nrs. 550 and pay a contribution to our trainer's work of Nrs. 1500 per session.

At Putali Nepal we believe that changing practices and perceptions regarding MHM needs to take place through a variety of strategies and forms of expressions that include the personal as well as the public. Besides our regular programs, we participate in public awareness raising events, national conferences on youth, health and MHM and are present on local markets to reach wide audiences from diverse backgrounds. In addition, every year on international Menstrual Hygiene Day in May, we strive to organise an event. For this purpose we have so far collaborated with Nepali artists, NGOs, schools and activists.
We are proud to be members of the national Menstrual Hygiene Management Practitioners Alliance, a group of organisations active in the promotion of MHM-programs that advises the Nepali government on future strategies in this area. Lastly, since menstrual cups are still a rather new product in Nepal for many individuals, activists and NGOs Putali Nepal remains their first direct point of contact on the ground for further information. We strive for collaboration and the sharing of experiences and knowledge within the MHM-movement in Nepal.
Thank you all for the wonderfully productive workshop for the mothers and young women. With the great help and support of Putali Nepal's team and BPOHD teacher's team the workshop was very successful. 19 mothers agreed to use the Ruby Cup, which is a wonderful product: Easy to carry, easy to clean and most important healthy and easy to wear. I appreciate the time and energy that Putali Nepal is investing on making women's life easier and healthier.

We are so glad that you are introducing Ruby Cups in Nepal.

The key advantage of the girls reading your comic was the ease for them to individually receive the information in such a non-intimidating way.
Michael HessNepal Orphans Home
We received your comic book and really love it. You are talking about the cup! So great to see you guys are doing this!
Simone CarterOxfam GB
I wanted to say a huge thank you for the comic books. They were a great success amongst the women of all ages in Nepal. It proved to be an excellent tool to get the women interested and engaged in the topic of menstruation and opened up the discussion for the next few days of the workshop. […] They really are a fabulous educational tool and springboard for discussion.

Murphy and Wilson are a force to be reckoned with, Stanley! Just stay out of their way because neither of them looks where they're going!

- Charliedownunder said...
Crikey ...... Murphs is out of control, aye?? He should look where he's going. I think you should get more dinner than him to make up for being attacked like that. Don't let him play with Wilson in the Wheelie house. That could be REALLY dangerous.

Sounds like maybe Wilson needs to be in time out for a while while Stanley 'recovers' from the trauma? Hope he's fully recovered soon!

Oh boy how scary...to be attacked by your own brother! BUT I am sure he didn't mean it, and it was not malicious. Just an honest 'oopsie!' as he was romping around with Wilson!
