Another clown in office…a real one this time
Voters the world over complain about having clowns for politicians, but Brazilians embraced the idea on Sunday by sending a real one to Congress with more votes than any other candidate.
Francisco Everardo Oliveira Silva, better known by his clown name Tiririca, received more than 1.3 million votes in Sao Paulo state in Brazil's presidential and congressional elections. That was more than double the votes of the second-placed candidate in Brazil's most populous state.

Kent Speedway Press Release 103/19 Kings storm to top of the table with victory in Manchester [match report Belle Vue Colts vs. Kent TouchTec Kings (NL) 1/8/19.
A simply incredible comeback from 11 points behind with just five heats to go saw the Kent TouchTec Kings win at the fortress National Speedway Stadium home of the Belle Vue Colts on Thursday night (1st. August).
The weather may have been traditional Manchester rainy but the sun has truly come back out on the Kings' National League [NL] title ambitions, achieving what the whole Speedway world outside of Central Park would have thought all but impossible – ending the Colts run of home wins by taking an amazing win by 45 points to 44.
It was a night when the whole side were heroes but it's impossible not to give special billing to a paid maximum 17+1 by the imperious Drew Kemp and to Dan Gilkes who had so much put on him in taking seven rides, scoring paid 15 including twice partnering Kemp to crucial 5-1s in a match which tilted in the hosts favour, only for the pluckiest of all performances from Kent to see them keep coming back for more.
The match started perhaps as many would have predicted with Colts riders taking the chequered flag in the opening three heats – their big three of Bickley, Bailey and Palin leading the way.
The first outing for the to-be-unbeaten Kemp came in heat four and after debutant Luke Barnes suffered engine problems (which bedevilled the Kings' no, 7 all evening) meaning he missed the two minutes, it was Gilkes partnering Drew to the Kings' first maximum heat win of the night – thus drawing the visitors level after four heats.
Despite another 5-1 from Kemp & Gilkes in heat six – the margin of deficit the Kings faced after heat 10 was 11 with little sign of the amazing comeback about to unfold.
Kemp was drafted in as a Tactical Substitute in heat11 and backed up by Anders Rowe a 5-1 was chalked up again – reducing the arrears to seven. Gilkes partnered by Jordan Jenkins produced the heroics in the next race; setting up Rowe and Kemp (in that order this time) to see off Kemp's GB World U21 Cup compatriots Bickley and an out of sorts Flint in the always crucial heat 13 and suddenly the gap was a single point: 39-38 to the hosts.
The busy Gilkes was out again in the penultimate race with the 'Guest' David Wallinger – the shared heat being absolutely vital to set up the grand finale: Kemp winning again and Rowe taking the vital third place keeping the Colts' top-scoring Aussie Bailey at the back, meaning the TouchTec Kings led for the first time in the whole match at exactly the right time: winning 45-44.
Team Manager Chris Hunt was ecstatic among wild celebrations from the Kings' riders and travelling fans,
"I don't think anyone gave us a hope of winning here – where so few sides have got anything in the way of points in the NL. This performance was simply brilliant and I'm so proud of all the lads. After the disappointment of losing our own unbeaten home record on Monday, this is the perfect antidote putting us back top of the league and really showing that we don't need to fear anyone."
Len Silver, Kent co-promoter was in ebullient mood himself stating,
" At Belle Vue we witnessed the most outstanding performance by any Kings side ever.
"On a rain drenched track, battling bravely against the toughest home team in the country, to recover from an 11 point deficit to grab a single point win was unbelievable. Majestic Drew was unstoppable for a paid 18; Anders' gutsy performance, twice rounding an opponent on the outside, including the last race to get the 4 - 2 we needed; plus a heroic 7 ride exhausting performance for an astonishing "paid" 15 tally by Daniel, told the story.
"But every rider (with the exception of the stand in at No 7, Luke Barnes who had a difficult night) played their part. This WAS an epic performance that made me very proud to be Kent."

Starting this year with details and patterns of some projects done in the past two years.
This was done in 2012 as part of bridal gifts on my younger nephew's wedding.
I wanted to a cross stitch border to embellish a pouch, which can be used for various purposes. This was to be a gift for my new niece, Charanya. The fabric was synthetic velvet for the pouch, the cross stitch border was on aida . The pattern was chosen from old antique pattern book and modified.
Cotton skeins were used for this work. Alternate crosses were worked for the outline.
The second colour
Stitches for the centre
The next shade
The pink thread
The lighter pink
This border was then embellished with pink stones.
The border was then sewn on to the pouch. I enjoyed playing with colours on the old cross stitch border.

College affordability has emerged as a major economic and social issue.
To that end, a group of California Assembly Democrats are proposing a general college aid plan that would cover tuition -- and also some living expenses -- for Cal State and UC students. It would also increase grants to community college students and cover the first year of tuition for full-time students, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The price tag, however, would be hefty. The program is estimated to cost the state $1.6 billion a year.

Refine selection
(Multiple selections possible)
Limit Ex. VAT
In the category Conference tables we offer you products of the following brands: EUROKRAFTpro , Tojo .
The greatest decisions in economic and human history have always involved some kind of multi-purpose table. After all, conference tables are the linchpin of important negotiations, intensive work units and large presentations. It is not only for this reason that you should ask yourself a few precise questions when making your selection.
While expansive meeting tables with an appropriate look are first and foremost at home in the conference room, you should also place smaller models in other areas of the company.
Then employees can get together for project meetings or have a conversation in the cafeteria. If you ensure robust but lightweight materials, users can arrange and rearrange the meeting tables as they wish. This applies in particular to models on castors.
In general, multi-purpose tables do not bear their name for nothing and can be used practically anywhere where conversations or mental tasks have to take place. Last but not least, you should have a few tables in reserve for seminars, conferences, events and meetings, which you can arrange according to your seating requirements.
Conference tables have high symbolic content. With their size, high-quality appearance and shape, they are intended to suggest that important decision-makers are coming together. It all depends on the subtleties. The size of the table must be perfectly matched to the room; the available space should be generous, but not too generous.
However, there is no room for manoeuvre with the look: it should be appealing and stylish, which can be easily achieved with high-quality tabletops and beautifully designed frames.
The basic table shape also makes a statement: round and oval models stand for equal cooperation and are suitable for work-intensive meetings. Classic angular shapes convey hierarchies but are also well suited for lectures and presentations.
Once you have ticked off these selection criteria, the next step is to put together suitable stacking and conference chairs. We will be happy to advise you on this as well as our range of tables from proven brands such as office akktiv. Talk to us at any time.

Bitcoins and cryptocurrencies, in general, have greatly transformed the way that we make payments. Just in the beginning of 2017 we saw the price of bitcoin at $1,000 and go up to $20,000 near the end of the same year. Seeing this rapid increase in price, people were quick to get into bitcoin investment and even now that bitcoin has gone down to about $8,000 people are still getting into the hype.
Looking to get into bitcoin trading? Here are some tips to help you get into bitcoin investment.
Just like with any form of investment, you should know about Bitcoin before you make any attempts at investing in it. It helps a lot if you are technologically savvy as you can quickly learn the underlying technology that is involved in bitcoin trading. Moreover, you can try and read Satoshi Nakamoto's original 8-page white paper about bitcoin.
Risk is an inherent part of any investment, but it should be noted that upon getting into bitcoin investment, you will be exposed to a higher level of risk compared to more traditional assets. It is crucial to remember to only invest money that you can afford to lose, especially when it comes to bitcoin which may drop by more than $5,000 in value in just a span of 6 days. Try to be conservative and start with investing small amount of money. You can slowly increase it as you get more experienced and comfortable.
Get a bitcoin wallet if you want to start your bitcoin investment journey on the right foot. Exchanges should only be for buying and selling bitcoin and not for storing them. This is because many bitcoin exchanges have been victims of hacking in the past.
In one of the previous tips we looked at just how much value bitcoin can lose in just a small amount of time so it may not be a good idea to place all your eggs in one potentially volatile basket such as bitcoin.A great investment advice to always follow is to diversify your investments. Apart from your bitcoin investment, you should set aside capital for other cryptocurrencies and traditional assets like stocks. Thus, any losses that you may experience in one investment can potentially be offset by the gains made in other investments.

Commencement at Aquinas College
Graduation Requirements
What is my Primary Major/Degree Title and why is it important?
Your Degree Title is either Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, etc. Your degree Title correlates to your chosen major. For example, if a student is a History major, they will earn a Bachelor of Arts. If a student is double majoring, then they must pick a Primary Major. If a student is double majoring in History (BA) and Psychology (BS), they can choose if they want the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Science to be their Degree Title. A student who is double majoring will not earn two degrees. They must pick one or the other. The Primary Degree choice will be printed on the diploma and called at Commencement. Both majors will be reflected on the transcript.
What if I have a financial hold on my account?

Why does the Registrar's Office need a copy of my High School transcript?
To maintain our accreditation and to follow Federal Compliance standards, Aquinas College needs to have a final, official copy of all graduate's high school transcripts. Often, the transcript sent during the Admissions process was while you were still enrolled in high school. If we do not have a final transcript on file for you, it was noted on your Application for Degree Candidacy. Your diploma will not be released to you until the transcript is received.

Like almost every great television show, Doctor Who can't be brilliant all the time...
The premise of Doctor Who can be both a blessing and a curse. Given the Doctor can literally travel anywhere in time and space, the number of potential stories is essentially limitless, and as a result, every series is always packed with variety.
Thankfully, the various actors who have played the Doctor throughout the last decade have been so good that even some of the weaker episodes are far from terrible.
Having said that, each series has certainly had a number of episodes which have stood out for the wrong reasons, and the issues with such episodes are by no means uniform.
Whilst a number of them were too ambitious, others were lacking in enough quality ideas to sustain the runtime. Moreover, some of the weaker episodes of the last ten years were also frustrating as they clearly had some interesting ideas that – for one reason or another – weren't executed in the way they should have been.
However, it's a testament to how good the show has been throughout the last decade that some of the worst episodes still contain something of merit…

We teamed up with KitchenJoy, a lovely cookery school in the heart of Chiswick and this month Joy tells us all about her favourite Autumnal recipe …Pumpkin Pie!
PUMPKIN is part of the gourd family. There are about 965 species, but the most commonly known ones are squash, courgette and pumpkin. It is also in the same family as cucumbers and melons. Pumpkins are normally picked in October and associated with Halloween. A tradition going back 100 of years in Ireland, they originally used turnips and squash. It wasn't until Irish immigrants arrived in America and discovered the pumpkin that a new Halloween ritual was born. By carving the faces into the vegetable, they wanted to light the way to their homes for the good spirit.
Pumpkins are nutritious including fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They are also low in calories. Pumpkins are full of micronutrients, including beta-carotene and vitamin A.
They are versatile as they can be cooked in savoury dishes as well as desserts. It is technically a fruit because it has seeds, but in terms of nutrition is more like a vegetable. Native to North America, although grown mostly around the world now.
You can roast pumpkin and make delicious creamy curries with coconut milk and spices. Drinking pumpkin spice lattes is also popular now. Other parts of the pumpkin plant such as the seeds can be roasted for a crunchy snack, while its flowers are often battered and fried.
This recipe I use at KitchenJoy is delicious for all the family or dinner parties:
Pumpkin Pie
Serves 6-8 | Preparation: 30 min | Cook time: 35 min | Total time: 1 hour 5 mins
The filling
- 2 small pumpkins (approx. 745g each) or 1 large butternut squash, quartered and seeds reserved
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 6 medjool dates, pitted
- 3 large free-range eggs, beaten
The crust
- 80g (¾ cup) whole pecans
- 170g (1½ cup) almond flour
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 6 medjool dates, pitted
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
Topping (optional)
- 6 pecan nuts
- Drizzle coconut oil
- Drizzle maple syrup
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
- Lay the pumpkin on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper. Sprinkle with nutmeg, ginger and cinnamon and drizzle with maple syrup and coconut oil and bake for 45 minutes until soft.
- Whilst the pumpkin is cooking, make the pastry crust.
- Add the pecans to a food processor and process until they have turned into a coarse flour. Add the rest of the ingredients and process for 15 seconds, until a sticky dough forms.
- Press the dough into an 8 or 9-inch pie plate (or springform pan for easy release), spreading it up the sides and covering the bottom. Prick a few shallow holes in the crust with a fork to keep it from bubbling during baking.
- Once the pumpkin has finished baking, reduce the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4, remove the baking tray from the oven and allow the pieces of pumpkin to cool.
- Whilst cooling, bake the pastry crust in the oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove it from the oven and cool for 10 minutes.
- Once the pumpkin has cooled, scoop out the flesh of the pumpkin and discard the skin. You should have about 600g of cooked pumpkin flesh. Don't forget to scrape out the bits in the tray and the maple syrup. Put in a food processor and whiz until smooth, adding the eggs and dates. Mix until well blended.
- Pour the filling into the crust and bake at 180C/350F for 35 minutes, or until the custard has set but is still slightly jiggly in the centre. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, you can cover the pie with foil and continue baking.
- Whilst the pie is cooking, wash the stringy bits of squash off the seeds, dry them and lay them flat on a tray along with 6 pecan nuts drizzled with maple syrup and coconut oil. Place in the oven with the pie for the last 10 minutes until crispy.
- Remove the pie from the oven and set aside to cool. Once cool enough to put in the fridge, refrigerate until chilled, then sprinkle the seeds on top and serve with a cup of chai tea!

Some magical Mozart here from Angela Hewitt, who directs the Orchestra da Camera di Mantova with aplomb, zest and, most of all, style. Her pearly, accurate articulation in No 6 is closely related to Uchida's mode of delivery in the same music, and she supplies her own exploratory cadenza. Hewitt and her players seem to be discovering this music on the wing, perhaps nowhere more so than in the central Andante of No 8, an aria in instrumental guise. Gentility is the order of the day – Hewitt's legato is perfect, and the serenity here contrasts well with the wit of the first movement. Hewitt's 'Jeunehomme' is up there with the finest (Perahia and, again, Uchida), and in the context of this disc one really appreciates just how great this music was at the time, from the innovations of the first movement through the dark unrest of the Andantino and on to the energy and contrasts of the finale.

By convention, heavy sneakers can always be exposed to the network in advance months or even a year. However, today's new Air Jordan 1 exposure is real, rumors will be released in January next year, it is likely to be the first color in the beginning of the year. Air Jordan 1 High OG Black Metallic is made of black material, laces and uppers. Logo is decorated with red accents, plus a white midsole. The overall style is quite classic. Previously, there was an effect picture that the difference between this object and the object is not small, and the shape is more harmonious.
New Jordan 2019, the European text people personally exposed Earlier, together with the famous American shoe store Sneaker Room to create a rare joint name Kyrie 5 recently released the official map, will be released soon! Sneaker Room x Nike Kyrie 5 MOM uses white, black and red as the main theme of the mother's "Mom" theme, which was built around Kyrie 3. The polka dot lining is also preserved. The familiar rose embroidery appears in the right heel position this time, and the left foot is filled with cartoon peach heart elements, which is quite eye-catching. The insole is printed with the Sneaker Room logo and I Love You Mom, and the tongue is infused with MOM's exclusive logo to further create a gratefulness to the mother! In addition, the red and gold embroidered hearts of different sizes are used to fill the upper, and the visual level is quite rich, and the theme of the direct attack is coordinated!
The launch of the Blue Void color scheme comes in a "cyberpunk" style, allowing us to experience the Air Jordan 34's lightest flying bootie for the first time. This color is sold out on the Nike official website, and the air bottom + flap upper brings the performance and the value of the double punch, it is really attractive! Then, with the theme of the most OG Nike elements, the Air Jordan 34 Bred is not only the most classic black and red dress, but also the Nike Air Logo, which is familiar with the iconic elements. Presented in white and black on the inside, the details are decorated in bright red, fresh and generous, and the Air Jordan 34's new design is clearly and clearly drawn, and the recognition is extremely high. Unlike the upper color of the first color, the Bred color is not a translucent flap upper, but a woven upper with a new weave. The upper is made of fine holes with a weaving technique. It also has a translucent effect and is more breathable.

Changing your body can change your life, opening up new worlds of possibility and experience, but sometimes shedding weight takes help from plastic surgery.

A 38-year-old folk artist from Vermont vows to fight fast food giant Chik-Fil-A for the right to keep printing his "Eat More Kale" shirts, as the chain has alleged the phrase infringes on their intellectual property.
Bo Muller-Moore, the man behind the "Eat More Kale" shirts, first silk-screened the legend by hand onto the t-shirts as, he says, a way to promote eating local and supporting small-scale agriculture. (Muller-Moore also grows the leafy green veggie.) But after 11 years of "Eat More Kale" shirts, Chik-Fil-A got wind of the slogan, which they say is too close for comfort to their phrase "eat mor chikin." The corporation alleged in a cease and desist letter to Muller-Moore that his use of the similar phrase "is likely to cause confusion of the public and dilutes the distinctiveness of Chik-fil-A's intellectual property and diminishes its value."
Montpelier, Vermont lawyer and intellectual property specialist Daniel Richardson has been working with Muller-Moore on the trademark battle, and he disagrees with Chik-Fil-A's stance. Richardson explains:
"Bo's is a very different statement. It's more of a philosophical statement about local agriculture and community-supported farmers markets. At the end of the day, I don't think anyone will step forward and say they bought an 'eat more kale' shirt thinking it was a Chick-fil-A product."
Chik-Fil-A has also demanded Muller-Moore turn over his website, eatmorekale.com. But the artist says that "the plan is to not back down" and that the legal wrangling "feels like David versus Goliath." In addition to fighting the chain on the trademark issue, he has also filed his own application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect the phrase.

What comes to mind when you hear the term 'heart condition'?
Most of us in the United States would probably think of some form of high blood pressure, blocked arteries or the need for by-pass surgeries that have become almost commonplace today.
But that's not the case for our friend Chris. His heart was failing. I don't know all the specifics of his particular ailment, but he's struggled with it the entire time I've known him. But as you might expect, his condition had an extreme impact on his livelihood and lifestyle. He couldn't work or exert himself and had to be hooked up to portable machines for constant monitoring. But all that changed just a couple weeks ago, when he got the call to let him know that a donor match had been located and was given instructions report to the hospital immediately for a heart transplant.
After chronic medical concerns, years of waiting and through the miracle of modern medicine, Chris finally has a new heart. While he is still in the hospital and working through a few issues, the doctors report that his new transplanted organ is functioning perfectly! If his situation continues to improve as expected, once his recovery is complete, he can expect to have a long, healthy and active life.
You know, Chris' experience is very similar to what needs to happen at some point to every single one of us.
Scripture tells us that all people are born with a corrupt, deceitful heart and cannot please God. (Jer. 17:9) Ephesians 2:1 clearly describes our dire diagnosis as "dead in transgressions and sins." Our prognosis is terminal and no medication nor any plan for self-improvement will do anything to improve our condition. If we're to survive, we must have a transplant.
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. ~ Ezekiel 36:26-27
These verses were written to the nation of Israel at a time in their history when they had deliberately turned their backs on God and indulged themselves in blatant, unrepentant idolatry. As a result of their disobedience, they'd been forced from their homeland and come under the domination and subjugation of a pagan nation. But in spite of their dire (and self-inflicted) state, God generously offered wholeness and restoration to a people who didn't deserve it. These encouraging words are also spoken to us today and bring hope, and the guarantee of the healing that we, too, can receive from the Lord. A promise of revival, vitality and redemption.
But just as in the medical world, one cannot receive a new heart without first finding a donor.
The good news is that God graciously provided one for you… In fact, He sent Jesus, the only One who has ever possessed a pure and untainted heart and thus, has the ability to revive you. Through His death, you have the chance for spiritual life and strength. The good news is that there's no waiting list and no chance of rejection! All you need to do is take what He offers freely to you!
But remember, that receiving this incredible gift of a new heart doesn't require going anywhere or doing anything. There are no forms to fill out and no requirements to meet. It doesn't come by being good enough to earn it or trying hard enough to merit it. Receiving this gift of life requires only one thing: trusting in Jesus as your Savior, and being willing to accept forgiveness that He offers by grace through faith. (Eph. 2:8)
So take a moment to assess your medical status. You either have a heart of stone or a heart of flesh. A heart that is dead, or a heart that is alive. And no matter how wealthy eloquent or influential you are, you can't change your heart's condition by yourself. It only happens through belief in Christ's work on your behalf.
Here is Christ's promise. "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die." (Jn 11:25-26)

Lumikki Andersson has made it a rule to stay out of things that do not involve her. She knows all too well that trouble comes to those who stick their nose where it doesn't belong. But Lumikki's rule is put to the test when she uncovers thousands of washed Euro notes hung to dry in her school's darkroom and three of her classmates with blood on their hands. Literally.
A web of lies and deception now has Lumikki on the run from those determined to get the money back—no matter the cost. At the center of the chaos: Polar Bear, the mythical drug lord who has managed to remain anonymous despite hosting lavish parties and having a notorious reputation. If Lumikki hopes to make it out alive, she'll have to uncover the entire operation.
Even the cold Finnish winter can't hide a culprit determined to stain the streets red.
As Red as Blood by Salla Simukka
Publication Date: January 17, 2017 by Crown for Young Readers
My Thoughts:
While a quick, enjoyable read, As Red as Blood felt a bit too much like a copy of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for young adults with Lumikki as the less goth little sister of Lisbeth Salander.
Despite this issue, As Red as Blood is still a fun read if you don't take it too seriously. While I had my doubts about Lumikki, I began to enjoy her personality more once she met Elisa and there was less of a focus on teen drama and cliques. Plus, what isn't there to like about a badass female main character who can outsmart a bunch of grown men/criminals?
While there are tons of YA novels out there that integrate elements of fairy tales, Simukka uses that aspect well and never did I feel like she was letting it stray away from her own story line. This was probably one of the elements of Simukka's writing that I enjoyed the most.
I did have some difficulty with the writing style at times, but I'm not sure if that was more from the translation than Simukka's style. There was an awkwardness, particularly with dialogue, that I found difficult to get past, but I'd be willing to give Simukka another chance to see if that changes with the second book in this trilogy.
I received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest review.

Hopefully you've seen what the TE design team has for you today...their sneak peeks of the newest Whimsical Wishes set are beyond incredible! I had so much fun illustrating this set and am thrilled to see what can be done with it. I wanted to play along too so I have this simple little card to share:
Inspired by Belinda's card, I wanted to include lots of white space and have the image travel beyond the edge. I picked up the scallops from this little strip of Cosmo Cricket Jolly By Golly paper and used my rectangular scallop nestie to create an embossed scallop edge on just one edge of the sentiment tag mat. A little PTI grosgrain in Aqua Mist and Rustic Cream Button Twine and a few Kaiser pearls to finish it off. Easy! Sometimes it's good to go simple, isn't it???

How long does it take for CBD to take effect?
How long does it take for CBD to take effect? There are several important factors that come into play which have to be considered in order to answer the question. Some of the variables are related to CBD, and others are pertaining to the human body and how it reacts to CBD.
Numerous research studies have shown that CBD has therapeutic benefits. But there is still much more research to be done. In the meantime, innumerable patients are reporting that CBD oil provides them with side-effect-free relief from certain ailments.
In fact, many U.S. states and Canada permit doctors to recommend CBD oil for a number of conditions such as epilepsy, pain, cancer, and multiple sclerosis. [1,2,3]
How Long Does It Take for CBD to Take Effect?
In order to answer to the question, "how long CBD does it take for CBD to take effect," there are a number of variables involved which need to be considered.
Because we all have unique genetics, no two people react to CBD oil in the same way. Also, your age, whether you are healthy or sick, your weight, and even aspects such as your circulation and metabolism can all affect how you respond to CBD oil.
One of the factors that is influenced by all of the above is the number of cannabinoid receptors in your body, how they are expressed, and your ability to produce endocannabinoids. An individual who expresses more receptors or produces fewer endocannabinoids may be more sensitive to CBD, and vice versa. (Learn more about the endocannabinoid system here.)
The symptoms or conditions you are trying to treat also play a role in onset time. Some conditions may require ongoing use while others might be reduced almost instantly.
There are also numerous factors involved which are related to the type of product being used, how it's being used, and how much is being used. Edibles typically take longer to take effect than tinctures, for example.
Administering CBD
The particular CBD oil products and the method of administering affect the time needed for the effects to be felt. In addition, the conditions or symptoms being treated with CBD my warrant one method over another.
Let's take a look at some of these products and methods and get a general idea of how long it takes for CBD to take effect.
Keep in mind that no matter which method and product you use, it does take time for the CBD to circulate to all areas of your body. So, even a fast-acting method may take more time to affect certain parts of the body.
CBD Oil Tinctures
CBD can be taken in the form of a tincture. Tinctures are generally taken sublingually (meaning under the tongue) for greatest and fastest effect. The CBD oil is held under the tongue long enough for CBD to be absorbed through the capillaries in the mouth—about a minute or so. Administering CBD via sublingual drops is a fast acting method because the compound doesn't have to pass through the digestive system. Effects are generally felt within minutes but can increase over time as the CBD works its way through your system.
CBD Oil Softgels
CBD softgels are taken orally. They take longer to take effect than tinctures—anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour. The reason for this is that the CBD has to pass through the digestive system in order to make its way into the bloodstream. This method is more convenient than tinctures and is well suited for administering higher doses of CBD. Depending on their contents, softgels may have a higher bioavailability than tinctures. For instance, Curative Biosciences softgels use a nanoencapsulated, powdered CBD that has a higher bioavailability than regular CBD oil. Regular CBD oil can be absorbed into the fatty tissues of the digestive system, cutting down on its bioavailability.
CBD-Infused Edibles
CBD edibles—foods that are infused with CBD—are another option for administering CBD. As with softgels, this method requires that CBD pass through the digestive system before it is distributed into the bloodstream, and can take anywhere from a half hour to an hour or more to take effect. The effects of edibles, however, typically last longer than other methods as the CBD tends to enter the system over the course of a few hours. Edibles are often used by people with ailments of the digestive tract.
CBD-Infused Topicals
CBD-infused topicals can be applied directly to the skin. With topical application, CBD is absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream. It is also absorbed directly into skin cells and other cells that it comes in contact with. Topical application may take anywhere from 15 minutes to half an hour to begin acting, but relief can be long-lasting. CBD topicals are often used to treat skin issues, muscle tension or spasms, muscle pains, and achy joints. Some areas of the skin may absorb topicals faster than others.
Vaporizing CBD
The method of CBD administration that has the fastest onset time is inhalation through vaporizing an oil base infused with CBD. When vaporized, CBD is absorbed through the lungs, and directly enters the bloodstream. There are still questions as to whether or not the ingredients used in vape oils are safe. A common base used in vape oils is polyethylene glycol—the same chemical used in your car's cooling system. Some studies have shown that, when vaporized, PEG, as it's called, becomes unsafe for human consumption. [4]
Curative Biosciences recommends against using this method of CBD supplementation.
How long it takes for CBD to take effect depends on each person's unique genetics and traits. The dosage, potency, and method of administration of CBD products will help to predict how long it may take for CBD to begin working.
Creative Biosciences' CBD products all undergo lab analysis to confirm the amount of CBD in each product.

Thirty years later, "When They See Us" highlights one of the most shocking and catalyzing instances of injustice in recent decades.
On the night of April 19, 1989, a brutal rape occurred in Central Park, setting off a chain of events that went on to capture the nation's attention and forever alter the lives of five teens who were wrongly accused of the crime. Thirty years later, When They See Us highlights one of the most shocking and catalyzing instances of injustice in recent decades.

Facebook is updating its News Feed ranking to improve the distribution of videos people want to watch.
Videos from pages people look for will see greater distribution on the News Feed.
Facebook will also show more videos in News Feed from popular publishers or creators.
The company's monetisation tools have also been upgraded, which will help partners to make more money.
This includes testing pre-roll ads in Watch.
"While pre-roll ads don't work well in News Feed, we think they will work well in Watch because it's a place where people visit and come back to with the intention to watch videos," said Facebook.
Facebook will start with 6-second pre-roll ads.
It is also updating its guidelines for Ad Breaks, and providing new performance metrics for publishers and creators.

My Word for 2016:
I've never been good with keeping resolutions. I become too ambitious with them and create goals that I know may not be attainable within a year. Ahem – 12 Things I Want To Do Before I Turn 40.
Last year I decided to choose a word for the year: RELAX. And honestly, I totally forgot about that word until just now.
But even though I forgotten, it planted a seed. In my own way, I have learned to relax this year. I started coloring to wind. I started meditating. I even went out a few times this year to get my hair and nails done. I made time for myself.
RELATED: CALM – The One App Worth Paying For (via Latinamom.me)
So this year, instead of creating a list of resolutions, I want to continue keeping it simple with just one word as a theme for 2016.
If you've been following my blog for a while, you know that I live with depression and anxiety. And after my second miscarriage in August, it's been especially difficult.
RELATED: Loss
During a recent session with my therapist, she suggested that I consider anti-depressants. It's not the first time she's made the suggestion. But I've been trying to avoid it. Since then I've been making more of an effort to seek out joy. I'm not saying medication will never be an option for me, I'm just not ready for it.
At the time of my therapists suggestion, I started reading The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. Living in a smallish two-bedroom apartment, I am always looking for ways to organize and unclutter.
I haven't finished reading The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, but just starting motivated me to look around and ask myself: Does this bring me joy? If the answer was no, then it got tossed or donated.
RELATED: I Donated My Wedding Dress
I started to let go of books and clothes and things and papers. And letting go was cathartic. I felt like I was giving myself space to breathe. The act of letting go was bringing me a sense of joy.
I want to surround myself with things that bring me joy. I want to do things for myself that bring me joy. (Just this morning, I went to the gym!) I want to appreciate all aspects of joy – from the smallest day-to-day moments to the big life-changing ones.

Yesterday was Zach's 26th birthday. For the next 4 1/2 months we will actually be the same age! How exciting for me! Having a birthday on a Sunday usually means there will be a lot going on. Zach was at church from 8ish until 3ish because they had a special practice after church was over. He got to come home and relax for about 2 1/2 hours but then it was on to Olive Garden to save a table for all our fabulous friends who were helping us celebrate. Unfortunately it took a little longer than I had thought. By the time we sat down Micah was already ready to go. Not good! I did my level best to keep him semi quiet and appeased but a different part of his personality was still seen by all. I think the Lord was trying to make me swallow some pride!
We made it through a yummy dinner and braved our way through the nasty weather back to our house to have dessert, drinks, and games. Super fun! We played a round of Taboo and then half the group had to head home to get much needed sleep. (thanks for staying up past your bedtimes!) Six of the group stayed (because they didn't need to get up early) and we played Mad Gab. That is not an easy game, but it is very humorous to listen to.
Pictures of our entertaining evening
*Make sure you look at the multitude of confused faces during the games!

So much fun!! I've been playing MadGab in my head all day. =)ReplyDelete

The Selling of Health Care
The most popular president in modern history that served at least one full term was Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Why? When he came to office, Ike had nothing to prove. He'd already successfully commanded the greatest invading army in history. His accomplishments: ending the Korean War; creating the Interstate Highway System; lighting a firecracker under civil rights when his Supreme Court passed Brown v. Board of Education (1954) and he signed the Civil Rights Act (1957); spending a lot of time working to lower his golf handicap.
With Eisenhower in charge, a high comfort level existed in the country. The president and Congress quietly and competently took care the people's business so we could do our jobs, feed our families and raise our kids.
Ike's approval rating never fell below 50 percent. In the end, he handed a peaceful and prosperous country to his successor. Based on presidential approval ratings, it's clear we don't like activist presidents. We're comfortable with chief executives who do what's necessary and no more. With the exception of Gerald Ford, an unelected caretaker CEO, all presidents since Eisenhower have been activists. And a number of activist presidencies imploded—Vietnam, Watergate, Iran Hostage Crisis, Iran-Contra, Lewinsky, subprime catastrophe and bank bailout.
A half century later, our activist president is trying to sell health care reform to the electorate and is suddenly up to his ears in alligators.
The situation might have been avoided if just one of his advisers had a background in marketing.
On Nov. 7, 20007, at Google headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., candidate Barack Obama made a speech that included a reference to Bill and Hillary Clinton's failed 1994 health care reform initiative. He said:
They made one really big mistake. They took all their people and all their experts into a room and then they closed the door and they tried to design the plan in isolation from the American people. I would do it entirely differently. We are going to have a big table, and everybody's going to be invited. It will be on C-SPAN. It will be streaming over the net.

Nowadays the organizational scenario is changing in several aspects that affect organization commitment. Team learning construct has emerged as a tool to deal with these changes and the dynamic nature of this situation. Although team learning has acquired importance in recent years, instruments to measure team learning should be developed. The aim of this paper is to develop and validate a team learning scale, the Team Learning Questionnaire, attending to four dimensions of team learning: Continued Improvement Seeking, Dialogue Promotion and Open Communication, Collaborative Learning, and Strategic and Proactive Leadership that Promote Learning. Results provide evidence of the reliability and validity of the scale.

I was thawing chicken thighs in the refrigerator and noticed the plastic wrap had torn some, probably when I dug it out of the deep freeze! Some of the chicken dried out. Is it still safe to fry?
Possible duplicate of How long can I store a food in the pantry, refrigerator, or freezer? – Catija♦ Mar 27 '17 at 22:15
This isn't exactly a storage life question, since it deals with the storage covering (plastic wrap) being torn. – Erica Mar 27 '17 at 22:43
You might have better luck searching for "freezer burn" - for example cooking.stackexchange.com/questions/1646/what-is-freezer-burn. – Cascabel♦ Mar 27 '17 at 23:01
@Erica true, but the question there does say that meat is safe in the freezer indefinitely... only quality degrades... which is the same thing here. With freezing (if it remains frozen), it's never a matter of safety, only quality. – Catija♦ Mar 27 '17 at 23:59
@Catija It does cover it, but a bit indirectly, so it seems okay to have something specifically about freezer burn. (I'm surprised I didn't find a good dup though, might've missed something.) – Cascabel♦ Mar 28 '17 at 1:15
Should be fine to eat, might be a little drier section of the meat if you go straight to cooking without like marinading.
It's happened to me before and I simply took sharp kitchen scissors and cut off the dried out part. It was easier to cut the uneven shape with scissors than a knife. My mom gave me some meat from her freezer as she's older and has trouble eating meat. Most had some freezer burn on it as she doesn't re-wrap her meat properly. I noticed that only the meat with a small amount of freezer burn was decent. I don't mean the rest was unsafe but it must've picked up some of the odors from the freezer and smelled old so was tossed out. Check that yours still smells good. Or as good as raw meat smells!

This is the final entry in our series of Five Questions conducted at Netroots Nation. GottaLaff is the online name of a very good actress and comedian. She's also mistress of the site The Political Carnival, one of the few sites that focus on the humorous as well as the outrageous. Do click through to see what they're up to. You'll enjoy it.
The venue for our interview was the main convention floor. We found a couch and group of chairs, but there was nothing to separate the buzz of happy conventioneers from our microphone. That said, the voices are very clear and GottaLaff is especially cogent in her remarks.
Five Questions with GottaLaff
I began by asking GottaLaff the same three questions I asked everyone this year — Is the U.S. approaching tipping points? Which tipping points will hit first? How will climate play out in the next few years? She also talked about the interest in progressive politics — and in particular President Obama's brand of politics — at the convention. (For this, listen at 1:30. You may be surprised.)
The fourth and fifth questions focused on her own work as a comedian and the place of (and need for) comedy in the left blogosphere.
It's a fascinating interview, and her personality is infectious. Please listen:
Some notes:
▪ About President Obama, she responds (at 1:30) to the rumor that he was booed when he spoke (over video) to the convention, then follows with her thoughts.
"There's definitely a feeling that the Democratic president isn't really a Democratic president after all."
▪ The trade agreement she mentions at 3:53 is TPP (we have a nice primer on that here). She's right; it's a big deal.
▪ At 5:14 I asked her where the return-to-the-middle force will come from, and her answer was "the people." That puts her squarely in the populist pushback/resistance camp; more from me later on that.
▪ But the best part of the interview, in my opinion, starts at 6:48, when she discusses her journey from actress to progressive writer. It wasn't a straight path, as you'll hear.
BLUNT videos, a GottaLaff production
I have to comment about BLUNT videos, which she mentions at 9:13. These are a specialty of the site, produced by GottaLaff using pieces of video submitted by her readers and added musical commentary. You too can submit material to a BLUNT video.
Here's a sample, a best-of reel (and please note the music):
To submit to a BLUNT video, follow @GottaLaff on Twitter, wait for the announcement that there's one in the works (each one is specific to a subject), then follow the instructions here.
All Five Questions interviews
Here's the complete list of this year's Five Questions interviews:
■ Sam Seder of Majority.fm
■ Dave Johnson of Campaign for America's Future and SeeingTheForest.com
■ Richard (RJ) Eskow of Campaign for America's Future and Huffington Post
■ digby of Hullabaloo
■ Marcy Wheeler of Emptywheel.net
■ Joel Silberman, actor and media trainer — almost every good congressperson on our side, Joel has worked with them
■ GottaLaff, actress, writer, director and co-proprietress of ThePoliticalCarnival.net (this interview)
This completes the series. I hope you enjoyed it, and thanks for listening.

LONDON, Ontario — The Ottawa Senators continue to wait on restricted free agent Jared Cowen.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
No talk, no action on Cowen front Back to video
Cowen's camp has been silent and the Senators are waiting for some response to any one of four contract proposals they've put forth.
"I felt that we continued to put something out there," Senators general manager Bryan Murray said during the first intermission of Saturday's rookie tournament game against the Chicago Blackhawks. "I'm not sure if we can continue to do that. I guess the term is you 'negotiate against yourself'.
So, there's some hope we can get some communication going here fairly quickly, so Jared can give us an indication (of something), one way or another."
The Senators open training camp on Wednesday and at this point, it doesn't appear like Cowen will be at Canadian Tire Centre.
