5 Ways to alleviate nighttime heartburn
Nighttime heartburn is a very common medical condition that causes a burning sensation in the chest region due to excessive acidity in the digestive system. This condition is witnessed very often in people and mostly it tends to awaken people from their sleep thereby disrupting their sleep patterns. Here are some effective ways to cure and prevent heartburn sensations during the night time.
1. Avoid acidity triggering foods: You should avoid the foods and drinks which are harsh on your digestive system and cause acidity and heartburn related problems during the night time. Some of the common foods and drinks responsible for nighttime heartburn and need to be avoided are alcohol, caffeinated drinks like colas, coffee and tea, chocolate and cocoa, peppermint, garlic, onions, milk, fatty, spicy, greasy, or fried foods and acidic foods like citrus or tomato products.
2. Follow a proper exercising pattern: You should never exercise immediately after having your meals. Instead, a considerable amount of a time gap should exist between your meal and your workout session. Do not ever eat a heavy meal before you exercise, because in spite of giving a time gap the richness of the food will adversely affect your digestive system.
3. Quit smoking habits: If you are a chronic/chain smoker, then you might witness the blockage of your gastrointestinal tract (digestive passages), which will further degrade and worsen the heartburn condition. Easier said than done, smoking is an addictive behaviour and you should be taking special care to lessen it and ultimately quit smoking.
4. Develop a chewing habit: If you are facing a chronic and regular heartburn problem, then you should definitely try excessive chewing of materials like gums. Chewing helps to generate excessive amounts of saliva during the act and the saliva, in turn, helps to soothe the acidic activities in your esophagus, thereby decreasing the probability of frequent heartburns.
5. Adopt weight loss measure: Sometimes, excessive body weight is also one of the potential factors responsible for causing frequent heartburns. But, if you shed a couple of kilograms from your body, then you will surely witness a relative decline in the symptoms of heartburn during night.

The Daily Star is launching a new series of talk show 'The Election Talks 2018' where experts will be analysing all aspects of the upcoming general elections, contemporary politics, events and incidents.
In today's episode, Former cabinet secretary Ali Imam Majumder talks with the show host Shakhawat Liton, planning editor of The Daily Star.
The show is the seventh episode of The Daily Star's political talk show series ahead of the December 30 election.
During unveiling the election manifesto for the 11th parliamentary election, the ruling Awami League highlighted a chart of development ensured in its last 10 years of rule.
Ali Imam Majumder expressed his solidarity with the Awami League's claim in ensuring the country's financial and infrastructural development.
On the other hand, Imam contradicted the party's claim in improving the administrative activities. "I think, administrative degeneration has been done since the last one decade."
The holding of a free and fair election has been made difficult due to the politicisation of the civil administration and the security agencies including police, he said.
The Awami League was not eager in keeping the civil administration free from political influence during its last two-term rule, he said.
When asked whether democratic practices in the country have been interrupted as the government was engaged in carrying out development activities, he said democracy and development is a complementary matter to each other and ensuring of development of a country becomes possible when democracy exists there.

The term Full Stack Developer is trending nowadays and is being used by many people in the professional world, it has become a new career position.
Basically a Full Stack Web Developer is someone who is capable of developing the front and back-end of a website. He needs to have the knowledge about how to setup and config servers, about server-side API's, and the client-side scripts and markup/styling language to develop the website's UI.
Front-End Developer
The Front-End of a webpage is the part that a user interacts with. It is where all the structure and styling of a webpage is. A Front-End Developer needs to know HTML, CSS, Javascript and it's really valuable if he also knows additional libraries/frameworks like Bootstrap (Html, Css, Js Library), React (Js library to build UI), Sass (css extension), among other things.
Back-End Developer
The Back-End of a webpage is what makes the Front-End possible. It is where the web server is placed and controlled, it stores all the data in a database, and contains server-side scripts. A Back-End Developer needs to know how to manipulate with web servers, like apache, he also needs to know how to manipulate data in a database and the most common languages/technologies used are PHP, Python, Perl, MysQl, and much more.
So a Full Stack Web Developer needs to know both the Front and Back-End Development.
The salary is obviously bigger for a Full Stack Web Developer than a Front-end or Back-end Developer but it requires a lot more knowledge about how things work.
I think it is great to learn both front and back-end development even if one person is only to develop in one side just because it gives you the expertise to understand the world of web development and if you work on a big company you can interact with your team seamlessly.

Introduction: Monica's Wedding Cards
Simple, elegant, but trendy with a touch of hot pink, these cards make great centerpieces standing at each guest's plate as a thank you for coming to the wedding!
Step 1: Gather Supplies
Stamps used:
Signature Background by Rubber Stampede
Frame from Maison Frames set by Inkadinkado
Amore by All Night Media
Classic Black and Craft White from Stampin Up!
Fuchsia pigment ink by Rubber Stampede
Aleene's Tacky Glue
Vellum tape runner and Mounting Squares by Scrapbook Adhesives
3D Dots by EK Success
White and Black cardstock
Pre-made white 4.25"x5.5" cards
Pink double faced satin ribbon with decorative edge by Offray
Paper trimmer
Heat gun
Step 2: Stamp Background Image
Ink background stamp with white pigment ink and stamp on black cardstock, stamping as many images as you can fit on one piece of cardstock (you will cut them apart later).
Step 3: Heat Dry the Background Images
White pigment ink takes a very long time to dry, so it is best to heat set and dry it with a heat gun (not a hair dryer!). Be careful not to scorch the paper by holding the gun too close to the surface of the paper. Set aside while you move on to the next step.
Step 4: Stamp Amore Image and Frame
Using fuchsia ink, stamp Amore image on white cardstock, leaving room in between images for the frame. Stamp the frame around the Amore image using black ink.
Step 5: Cut Everything Out
Cut apart the background images, and cut out the Amore and frame images. Cut strips of vellum to 5"x1 7/8".
Step 6: Cut Ribbon
Cut lengths of ribbon to approximately 6.5". A quick way to cut several pieces of ribbon all the same length is to cut a piece of cardboard to the right length, wrap ribbon around the cardboard as many times as you need, and then slip the scissors through each end and cut all lengths at once.
Step 7: Adhere
Adhere vellum strip to bottom half of each background piece using vellum tape. Adhere ribbon over top edge of vellum strip by applying a very thin amount of tacky glue to back of ribbon, leaving the ends. Flip piece over and glue the ends of the ribbon to the back.
Step 8: Adhere Amore Piece
Adhere the Amore framed piece to center of the front using 3D dots. Adhere the entire piece to pre-made cards using mounting squares and you're done!

i love it. BEAUTIFUL. these people are gifted and talented
Beautiful! Wedding season 2008 is just around the corner!
This is just wonderful! I'll surely give it a try someday :)
Absolutely beautiful!
If you had the time/materials/inclination it is also possible to emboss the amore stamp and or the border around it. When embossing you apply embossing powder to the stamp while it is still wet so that it will stick, then you heat it with an embossing gun (imagine a very very hot hair dryer). The heating causes the powder to melt and produces a raised texture everywhere the powder adhered. All of the supplies for this can be found at most craft stores near the other stamping materials.
Absolutely! I love heat embossing and this card would look great using that technique. But I had to keep this design simple and easy because we needed to make a quantity of them for the wedding, and my non-crafty friends wanted to help. I am going to be making the wedding invitations for my other sister-in-law later this year and am planning on using heat embossing to embed a stamped image on those. So stay tuned! I will probably post those invitations as an instructable as well!

Colorado's favorite madam is turning forty this weekend, with an all-day birthday bash on Saturday, January 30. After four decades of skiers and snowboarders racing down her bumpy terrain, Winter Park's Mary Jane will be celebrating in style — '70s glam style, to be exact. And the fun won't stop there. "This year's Winter Park Carnival is all in conjunction with Mary Jane's fortieth birthday," says Steve Hurlbert, spokesman for Winter Park, citing the annual weeklong carnival that will kick off February 6. "This is a birthday party-slash- carnival, but we're mostly using the birthday as an excuse to throw a big party."
As legend has it, the Mary Jane Trail was well-trod by miners and railroad workers in the late 1800s. Mary Jane was a local "lady of the evening," well-known for her services and business sense, apparently, since a grateful customer reportedly gave her a piece of land that is now known as Mary Jane Placer, right at the base of the mountain. In the '30s, the area was cleared for the first man-made ski trail in this part of the United States, although it wasn't until 1975 that Winter Park opened Mary Jane Mountain for winter sports.
Mary Jane's Birthday Bash will take place right on that piece of land. "This big thing that we're doing is a 1970s-themed costume party that's kicked off at the base, and that's something that we've never done before," Hurlbert says. "We'll be holding a costume contest from twelve to four that afternoon, and we're also doing a mogul duel for the first time." Since Mary Jane is known for her bumpy terrain, the park will set up a course along Rainbow Cut. Participants must compete with a partner, and will be judged on speed, style and 1970s costume.
"The winner of Mary Jane's Mogul Duel will be awarded a limited edition Mary Jane's 40th T-shirt," Hurlbert adds. "Each participant is also entered into a raffle we'll be doing, where we'll be giving away a special pair of Mary Jane custom HG powder skis."

Mary Jane's Birthday Bash, set for Saturday, January 30, at the base of Mary Jane, will also feature snow sculptures by each lift, a photo booth, a bonfire, music by Hunker Down from noon to 4 p.m., and a group chorus of "Happy Birthday" to Mary Jane at 3:15 p.m, right before the raffle at 3:45 p.m. After the party on the mountain ends, the action moves to downtown Winter Park, which will host a parade and fireworks at 6 p.m. For more information about Mary Jane's Birthday Bash or the Winter Park Carnival, visit winterparkresort.com.

Fiorella Figures Out Putin's Plot
Putin is playing us. First he maneuvered to get rid of Hillary, a hawkish and knowledgeable candidate he couldn't control. Then he waited until just before Trump's inauguration to let it leak out that he has videos of Trump's sexual escapades in Russia during that infamous beauty pageant. Now, because we are all so involved with the mess he's put us in, he can do anything he wants without a word of restraint--retake the former USSR states, fiddle with the Middle East, and, his ultimate goal, replace the President of the United States as world leader.

Since Ginger has become a super-alpha sprayer in the house now, I thought there might be times we need to put him in Bunny's Place.
It would also be good if Ginger can be accepted by the Cow Clan.
So, Ginger had a supervised orientation today.
He was making a lot of noise while I was inside Bunny's Room, so I opened the grille and an "exchange" happened – Ginger came in and Pole went out! It was almost like a "prisoner swap" but of course nobody is a prisoner here.
Indy was the first (and only) cat who was on the offensive.
Ginger was smart enough to jump up onto the wooden chair next to me while Indy made his war cries.
Indy was clearly fed-up by Ginger's presence and he could not get to Ginger, so he made his protest known by biting me on the hand. Then he flipped on the floor and bit his own paw repeatedly. He was letting off steam.
He soon settled down.
Cow was asleep and not bothered by all the goings-on. He did look up (he was totally aware of what was going on, of course). But he decided he didn't need to react.
Ginger also settled down.
I put Ginger down on the floor and Indy seemed civil now.
Indy tried to bite Ginger's ear, but Ginger protested.
Side by side.
I let Ginger back out and Pole back inside. Prisoner swap! Haha…
Can Indy be friends with Ginger?
Now, Indy is on the same chair that Ginger sat on and poking me repeatedly with his paw.
Indy is a very possessive cat, so his acceptance of Ginger is definitely going to take some time.
And there's Cow and Bunny to contend with as well. It's no easy feat.

Marketing 1
(July 02, 2002) - Although the word still causes prejudicial reaction, Marketing is experiencing a renaissance in the human capital acquisition function. Increasingly, Applicant Tracking and Recruiting Systems reach the desktop with rudimentary marketing tools embedded in the interface. Primitive (and a little dangerous), spiders, mail management, bulk mailers and job distribution functions are all components of offerings that range from Recruitsoft, BrassRing, Hire.com, Peoplesoft and Webhire.
What seems to be happening is a split in the roles associated with the Recruiting Department. Marketing skills and techniques are beginning to accumulate in solid quantities in the arena that used to be called "sourcing". The sourcing folks, once relegated to a low status backwater are increasing their marketing skills while the administrative recruiters are getting the candidates through the system. Sourcers acquire candidates while Recruiters process them. The first group is the marketing arm while the second might be better understood as the production arm.
The advantage goes to the team with the best marketing skills.
Marketing is a complex set of skills, processes and procedures that includes:
We can easily imagine an extensive training and research program that works to bring the real tools of marketing directly into the hands of the Recruiting team. While today's efforts are an interesting start, marketing tools have been evolving for a century or so. We'd like to see a little less reinvention and a little more direct absorption.
OK...One More Day...Send your Best Practices in before you leave for the holiday.
If you are interested in letting us know about your successes, please send an email that mentions:
We expect to collect somewhere between 50 and 100 examples. We'll follow up with a contact at the company. Then, we'll winnow the list down to 20 Key case studies while summarizing the remainder of the examples.

Augmented and Virtual Reality technology is engaging everyone towards itself and this shows a belief of upgrading themselves on technology. According to Zion Market Research, the Global Augmented and Virtual Reality Market will reach USD 814.7 Billion by 2025. Zion Market Research has published a new report titled "Augmented and Virtual Reality Market by Device (Head-Mounted Display (HMD), Handheld Device, Head-Up Display (HUD), Projector and Display Wall, Gesture-Tracking Device, and Others) by Offering (Hardware and Software), by Application (Consumer, Commercial, Enterprise, and Others), and by Vertical (Entertainment & Media, Gaming, Healthcare, Aerospace & Defense, Manufacturing, Retail, Education, and Others): Global Industry Perspective, Comprehensive Analysis, and Forecast, 2018–2025''.While applications are still emerging, VR, AR, and MR are already offering many benefits for the users that are savvy enough to embrace them.
- The Power of Immersion. One of the greatest AR/VR advantages in advance tech-enabled gadgets and software solutions can immensely enhance user engagement with multiple interactive activities. Digital extended reality provide users with enticing virtual objects and makes them treat these objects as real.
- Improved user experience. AR/VR solutions seem to be a note-perfect option for gaining much attraction and retention among the global audience.
- A Better Trained Workforce.Virtual and mixed reality can standardize training programs and make the overall process more effective. In a test conducted by Google's Daydream team, which is responsible for the development of its virtual reality (VR) platform, researchers were able to show that VR training was more impactful than video training.
- Simplified Maintenance Operations. Augmented reality is not only invaluable as a teaching tool, but can also be used to guide technicians through complex, repetitive tasks that must be done right every time. One example of this comes from Mitsubishi Electric, which has developed an inspection and maintenance system that utilizes 3D AR smart glasses. Mitsubishi's technology first makes a 3D model of a machine with a tablet camera. The 3D scan interacts with the glasses to provide a visual checklist that guides the technician through which components of the machine should be inspected. The technician can even verbally fill out an inspection report as he or she is completing each step.
- Improved Quality Assurance. While improved training and equipment maintenance will enhance productivity and reduce downtime, quality assurance can also benefit from advancements in VR and AR. the technology has the potential to go beyond this and enter the realm of optical digitalization. 3D scanning for quality assurance is already a critical tool for many industries. It's used to compare a final part to its original CAD design and ensure that all specifications are being properly met. Before long, it will be common for this scanning and analysis to be conducted at every stage of production via the employees' headset or glasses.
With VR-powered technologies and AR-oriented devices flooding the tech market, there's simply no denying the pace at which these innovations are fast going mainstream.Innovations with AR, MR, and VRwith Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg hailing these technologies as the 'next big things' in the world of the Internet, we are yet to witness their performances to compete for potentials. Let's just say, Virtual and Augmented Reality will soon become an integral part of online operations.
On that note, it is time for us to take a look at how AR, VR, and MR are being leveraged by industrial companies

Augmented Reality plays a remarkable role in overlaying instructions. As one of the leading aviation manufacturing company, Boeing has cut down their error possibilities to a great extent. By leveraging AR technology, experts at Boeing are installing electrical wiring on an aircraft is a complex task that leaves zero room for error. That's why Boeing is testing augmented reality as a possible solution to give technicians real-time, hands-free, interactive 3D wiring diagrams and designs.
2. Introducing immersive experiences: Airbus innovations
Creating a virtual world and augmented environment can lead to multiple benefits. Airbus, another commercial aircraft manufacturing giant, has embraced the idea of implementing AR/VR/MR technologies to introduce a holographic application. Customization and configuration of cabin space is possible in real-time. which will act as a key to create immersive experiences for their engineers. The opportunity to impart lessons through shared 3D modules and holographic coach will also make the entire experience engaging. For customers, employees and other stake holders.
3. Manufacturing vehicles and cars: GM embraces VR
General Motors (GM), the car manufacturing behemoth, took a step further and decided to integrate Virtual Reality in their existing production processes. The prime emphasis was to create an immersive and real-time virtual environment. The manufacturers can see this particular data on a large projection screen, or Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE). An immersive virtual reality environment will help engineers and designers assess, view, and modify a considerable amount of variants. Quite naturally, that will boost the entire manufacturing process in a new way.
4. Leveraging complete potential of IT: Knowing the Siemens approach
Information happens to be at the core of every technical process. That paves the path for data analytics and synthesis. Siemens has come up with a unique approach, where AR and VR technologies are used to analyze crucial data sets that lead to improved industrial operations.

Diversion Centre – Request for Quotes (RFQ)
RFQ-2018-28 Diversion Centre
August 13, 2018
In a report generated by CMM and conducted by an engineering firm, it was determined that the Community does not generate enough waste to be considered for a transfer station however smaller diversion center would be more feasible. In this document the terms transfer station and diversion centre are interchangeable.
Transfer stations are facilities at which municipal solid waste is dropped off by relatively small vehicles, loaded into larger containers or onto larger vehicles, and hauled to an off-site management facility for further processing or final disposal.
Ideally, a transfer station should be sited as close as possible to the centroid of the population served, in order to minimize collection costs, or some distance along the haul route to the landfill. The transfer station should be sited and operated so as to create no environmental or health hazard, and no nuisance.
From AFN:
The lack of capacity for landfills or transfer stations to store and accommodate wastes is a challenge for First Nations Communities. If landfills and transfer stations are not funded and/or managed properly this can result in an overload of capacity to accommodate and store wastes. Transfer stations collect and store waste temporarily before being transferred to a nearby landfill from another community, i.e. a local municipality."
Solid waste management – which includes a range of services from collection, separation, and recycling of household waste to the transfer, treatment, and disposal of waste – is a challenge for some First Nation Communities. One of the main obstacles in the past has been a lack of federal funding, so the budget announcement provides new opportunities for improvements.
The objective of this project is to develop sustainable waste management systems. This means reducing the amount of waste generated, reducing associated fees, mitigating environmental impact(s) and developing tools for Community administrators to effectively and sustainably manage solid waste. A Diversion Centre for the Community is in line with the Community's priority to improve solid waste management in Sipekne'katik Diversion Centres will provide an area for the Community to deal with solid waste in a positive and efficient manner. It will encourage diversion (recycling) and create meaningful, permanent employment opportunities.

This is the album that made Joe Pass famous. On what was actually his second set of unaccompanied guitar solos (Virtuoso No. 4 from a month earlier was released years later), Pass shows that it is possible to play unaccompanied versions of such up-tempo tunes as "How High the Moon," "Cherokee," and "The Song Is You" on guitar. Pass not only performs the melodies and heated solos, but provides basslines and harmonies while using a conventional technique (unlike Stanley Jordan's later tapping). Pass would record many unaccompanied recordings and perform at numerous solo concerts during the next 20 years; this is the set that started it all, and it is a certified classic. An essential CD.
01. Night And Day
02. Stella By Starlight
03. Here's That Rainy Day
04. My Old Flame

For a campaign designed to build over two years, the first week's coverage of the fundraising phase has been pleasing.
Here are 20 print and TV stories I'm aware of, roughly in chronological order:
- Elocal.
- Callum Fredrics in Critic.
- Mentioned in despatches by Bryce Edwards in the Herald.
- David Farrar's Kiwiblog.
- Laura McQuillan for TV3 online.
- Tini Molyneux on Te Karere.
- Kiwiblog again
- Rod Vaughan in NBR online (producing the most hits for a single story in the site's three year history)
- Vaughan/NBR online again — this time an exclusive for subscribers only.
- Evan Hardin in the Southland Times.
- Vaughan Elder in the Otago Daily Times.
- Chris Trotter in the Dominion Post.
- Trotter in various other papers including the Taranaki Daily News.
- Trotter's blog, Bowalley Road.
- Tahu Potiki in the Christchurch Press.
- Simon Dey in the Sunday Star-Times.
- Edwards in the Herald in despatches again.
- And again.
- With Julian Wilcox, Joris de Bres and Ella Henry on Maori TV's Native Affairs.
- Rosemary McLeod in today's Dominion Post.
The left-wing blogs are doing their bit by viciously attacking me in an attempt to distract from my message.
The neutrals tell me it just makes them more curious.
Abuse from the Grievers is always a sure sign that they're rattled, and that my 'bunker-busters' are cutting through.
One lovely chap called Nick Dale even describes me as "New Zealand's Madman". Well, you can't win 'em all.
Meanwhile funders great and small have been building up quite a fighting fund. We need lots more, but if one of these kind donors is you, I thank you for what you're doing for our country.
(I've got you all parked in an ever-more-bulging folder to thank in person when I can.)
I've also found two excellent trustees to provide managerial oversight, so can now register the trust.
Thanks to both of you, who I'll be proud to name if you give me permission.

Coming out of a two year contract with a crappy phone and looking forward to the iPhone 5? Can't wait till September for it to be launched? Then why not get an affordable yet capable inbetweener for the time being.
Assuming that you are (or have been) an Orange customer in the past, whether on pay as you go or contract, you should be able to get the uber-popular Orange San Francisco (AKA ZTE Blade) for only £67.99 apparently.
One customer has called Orange direct and managed to get a discount off the £75 price - that includes £10 credit - by adding four free SIM cards to the order, a trick that has been emulated by others on HotUKdeals.
The phone made the headlines last year as it quickly became one of our favourite phones back in November, a genuine bargain at just over £110 then. Now that it costs almost £50 less, it is a true no brainer.
The phone comes with a Qualcomm MSM7227 system on chip clocked at 600MHz, one which can be overclocked and which is already powering the likes of the HTC Salsa, the Wildfire S and the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8.
It has 512MB RAM, 2GB onboard storage (expandable to 16GB), a 3.2-megapixel camera with AF, Android 2.1 Eclair, Bluetooth, WiFi, FM radio and a gorgeous 3.5-inch WVGA OLED touchscreen.
Over the past few months, hackers have not only managed to customise the phone but have even managed to get Android 2.3 Gingerbread to run on it, even though the phone doesn't support it officially.

The news fervor over the dangers of hash oil has died down a little lately. This time last year, headlines were full of fear-mongering sentiments such as "Butane hash oil labs; the danger next door" and "emerging drug crisis." News outlets chewed on that toy until the air had pretty much gone out of it, but we're not surprised to see some uninformed, spectacle-izing from time to time.
What we are surprised to see, however, is that uninformed fear-mongering-for-the-sake-of-click-bait coming from a semi-legit source such as LA Weekly. The magazine this week ran an article titled "How Dabbing Is the 'Crack Scene of Marijuana'". The piece compares cannabis concentrates not only to crack, but to heroin as well, and suggests that habitual hash oil use can lead to addiction and long term brain damage.
This heavy handed, hastily researched article states that extracts' "intensity can be compared to cocaine users who shifted from snorting the substance to smoking it" (guess the old beer-and-hard-liquor metaphor didn't make as good of a headline) and quotes a Van Nuys budtender as saying that "Dabbing… can get you as fucked up as if you're doing heroin… I did it and puked. The whole dab scene is like the crack scene of marijuana."
Just to make sure that anyone who's ever used dabs know that the article is full of shit, it also explains that, "While the high lasts just a few minutes, dabbing can cause extreme paranoia, listlessness, despondency and anxiety." If you know anything about dabbing, the part you'd take issue with is the idea that the high "lasts only a few minutes" is a joke. The high's only just beginning after a few minutes. Paranoia, check. Anxiety, sure, for some, but you could say the same about any kind of marijuana product.
The article goes on to suggest that hash oil can cause physical addiction and brain damage. A scientist they speak with claims, in the words of the news outlet, to have "seen a few cases where dabbing led to permanent brain damage. But those cases are rare." No specifics, no data, no citation.
Even less journalistic credibility can be found when discussing addiction. The article carefully tiptoes around actually saying that dabbing is addictive, while constantly pushing the reader to infer that it is. "For years, marijuana advocates have stressed that weed is not physically addictive," the article reads, "But Dr. Michael Miller [the same doctor quoted above], medical director for Herrington Recovery Center at Rogers Memorial Hospital in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, says dabbing has a different effect."
That "effect" is never elaborated on. Instead, another Miller quote speaks of the "bio-psycho-social-spiritual" aspect of addiction, without ever mentioning extracts by name. An uncareful reader is meant to rub those two unrelated sentiments together and come out with the idea that hash oils are physically addictive, even though there is no scientific data mentioned by anyone in the article to back that up.
"Addiction is a bio-psycho-social-spiritual disease," says Miller, the past president of the American Society of Addiction Medicine. "If you have a predisposition for addiction, the more potent rewards are more likely to kick in the addictive process in the brain. Very strong exposures to very intense rewards triggers a preoccupation and craving and cues to use again. That results in addiction."
The article does pretend to look at the other side of the issue, quoting someone who works for an extraction company as saying that concentrates could be helpful to patients who don't want a lot of smoke in their lungs and saying that "you're not going to die" from dabbing, before they also paraphrase the same guy as saying (again, without anything to back it up) that "continued use over a long period of time can cause permanent paranoia and anxiety."
So, to answer the question of the headline, why is LA Weekly comparing dabs to crack and heroin? Clicks, probably.

Promising singer and celebrated couple Sabnaz-Naim's daughter Mahdiyah Naim has grabbed the audience's attention by her singing style. She has created her YouTube channel recently inspired by her father.
Mahdiyah published three songs (two English and one Bengali) on her channel. All the songs have been well admired by the audience. She is now all set to release her new cover song titled Onek Bristi Jhore.This is one of the popular songs of legendary singer Runa Laila. Mahdiyah was inspired by Runa Liala from her childhood. She was amused everyone by her singing performance of Runa Laila's song at school when she was in class 3. Since then, Mahdiyah's dream is to become a singer like Runa Laila.
To tribute to Runa Laila Mahdiyah has covered her song Onek Bristi Jhore. Sayed Shujon has arranged the music.
This song will be published on YouTube channel of Mahdiyah Naim this evening.
It may be mentioned that, Mahdiyah met with Runa Laila with her parents after recording the song. Runa Laila liked her singing style and wished her good luck.

All atrocities must be condemned and indeed, they are being condemned in the west and in the east. What we hear, see and read is the work of extremists and not good people who are every where.
- The formula of governance is no different in Iran, India, USA, Palestine, Israel or Saudi Arabia; a few monopolize the power. Is it any different in a Mosque, Synagogue, Church or a temple? Nopes. The dominant spouse or parent gets away with a lot of things as well.
- It is the animal instinct in us to claim security, and we convert that into the form of superiority - Neither west is better nor is east, they are two societies operating on their own equilibriums. The practices in your family and your friend's family are not the same; they have different sub-cultures in terms of spouse, parents and kids relationships. People in west are no different than the east that has been my experience, my relationships are not few minutes in the office or at a dinner, they are deeper and I am shaped by that experience. We are motivated by the same sentiments.
- The people in west abhor atrocities just as much as in the east, but they really don't do a whole lot about it. In one of the discussion threads that you and I were together, one fellow harassed a girl, indeed, he chased her out, I was the only one to tell the bully to back off, there were 19 others on the list, and did not say a word, did they? Did you?
- We cannot blame either west or east, but ourselves, if each one of us acts in the right way, then it is safe to expect that a few more will do the same.

If a divorcing couple reach an agreement will the court always turn that agreement into an order?
Many people do not realise that simply sending agreed terms to court does not automatically mean that a court order will follow. The judge is still required to carry out a legal balancing exercise to check that the terms reached seem fair and always has an overriding power to raise enquiries if he or she thinks necessary. It follows that although in normal life two people may make a deal, shake hands and create a contract, in matrimonial proceedings there is no binding contract simply because of agreement.
The court needs to be satisfied that the parties have given full and frank disclosure of relevant information - which may go beyond mere obvious financial documentation - and that the parties give genuine agreement to the terms proposed. An order can be set aside if consent is not valid. One of the most obvious ways in which consent is not valid is where there has been dishonesty or even fraud by one of the parties. In this context fraud is deliberate dishonesty.
In many cases fraud will lead to a court order being undone. However a court might still conclude that the fraud had no effect on the terms agreed and that the court would still have made the order had the fraud been known. There is a general principle that fraud will be enough to undo a deal but in matrimonial cases the fraud will need to be relevant. The burden is on the person in the wrong to show that it would have had no effect. If a case does have to be reconsidered it is possible that some things are still agreed and only relevant parts need to be reopened and if that is what is required it is what the court may well do.

Ok so any of you find yourself talking to your kitty when he/she/they talk to you? I'm like "what's going on?"
It's not so much saying words, though I think cats do learn the meaning of some, it's more the tone of my voice that I use to try communication.
Just the other day I was yelling back and forth with Monkey to shut up. He was somewhere in the house meowing, sounding like he was complaining. After a few minutes I realized he was locked in a closet......
[moderncat.com] Just the basic sounds and what they mean.
I'm betting the cat folk already know what their cats are saying though. lol
I always talk to my kitties, & Purrin herself is very vocal.
All the time! We have great conversations.
Oh yeah. In fact, I meow back. I have no idea what I'm saying but it seems like we are having a great conversation.
All of the time.
Supposedly we generally understand what they are saying - they have quite a few different tones from inquiry to scolding. lol

Charges pending after man dies in hospital following crash north of Vegreville Back to video
RCMP said a Dodge Ram pick-up truck was travelling east on Highway 631. Witnesses allege that the truck failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection of Highway 857, and collided with a northbound Volkswagen sedan that was passing through the intersection on Highway 857. RCMP said the sedan was struck broadside, pushed off the road and into a power pole.
The Volkswagen driver was severely injured and airlifted to an Edmonton-area hospital. He died in hospital on Thursday. The 34-year-old man driving the pickup was treated for minor injuries and released from hospital later that day.
Alcohol is not believed to have played a role in the collision, but the investigation is ongoing with the involvement of the RCMP collision reconstruction team. Charges are pending in relation to the collision.
Vegreville is about 100 kilometres east of Edmonton.

Its time again to start thinking about documents for your income tax and making those promises to do better this year keeping track of papers and expenses. What about those promises to eat better, lose weight and exercise? Have you thought about how your behaviors in these two areas are tightly linked and jointly affect your life?
Your wealth directly influences your health, and equally important is that your health dramatically affects your wealth. If you dont feel well, there are medical expenses, you dont eat well, stress increases and you dont want to bother with daily joys.
We know that healthy eating, physical activity and controlling stress are interrelated, but I suggest you add financial health to this , as well. How does this quadrangle affect you and your family?
For starters, compare yourself to some key benchmarks. Benchmarks help you visualize your plan and goals. When you start looking at real numbers, real improvement begins. Here are a few benchmarks for financial health:
You follow the guideline that housing mortgage or rent is 30 to 40 percent of gross income. You pay yourself first (savings) at least 5 to 10 percent; transportation is 20 percent or less; and food is 20 percent or less.
Is your monthly debt (including things such as credit cards, student loans and car loans, but excluding mortgage) less than 15 percent of your take-home pay?
You have an emergency fund (access to cash) equal to three to six months income.
You have a will in place (who will take care of your children, how you want your assets handled and by whom) that is checked every five years.
Your advance directives are in place (what you want done medically if you cant respond) and have been discussed with your family.
You review credit reports annually from each of the three credit bureaus to be sure the information is current and accurate (www.annualcreditreport.com). As a Colorado resident, you are entitled to two free reports from each annually.
Here is a fun one: Calculate your net worth benchmark annually. Multiply your age by pretax (gross) income and divide by 10. For a 37-year-old with a gross income of $50,000 that is $185,000 ($50,000 times 37 divided by 10).
Some health benchmarks require at least an annual visit to your health-care provider or local health fair. Some common health benchmarks are:
You eat at least three cups of fruits and vegetables daily.
Your blood pressure is close to 120 over 80.
Your body-mass index is close to 27.
You get at least 2½ hours weekly of moderate physical activity and twice a week some form of muscle-strengthening activity. (Rule of thumb: One minute of vigorous activity is about the same as 2 minutes of moderate activity.)
The foods you consume are nutrient-dense rather than highly processed foods or empty calorie.
Your cholesterol level is below 200 with your HDL (good cholesterol) at 60 or greater.
Your liquid intake is around 0.5 ounce per pound of body weight daily.
How close are the benchmarks to your goals? Small steps to health and wealth make big changes.

It is Possible to Recover from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
The first client I treated for PTSD was not a military veteran, although I have treated veterans and first responders over the duration of my practice. He was an unfortunate bystander, when an out-of-control vehicle surprised him. He had only enough time to see it bearing down on him, but not enough time to avoid its path. Physically, he was badly injured, but the symptoms that bothered him the most were not physical. They were the continuously intruding mental images of the car coming at him, the intense anxiety accompanying those images, and the sleeplessness associated with his very frequent nightmares. He was unable to discover any way to escape this continuous re-experience of trauma, except by drinking heavily. Pain medications and antidepressants helped only very slightly.
I consulted medical colleagues in designing his treatment plan, and he made a good recovery. Variations of this plan have enabled me to help every one of my subsequent clients, who have had these symptoms.
At the time of his injuries, PTSD was a new diagnosis, which had been introduced to the mental health professions by a recently published edition of the Diagnostic Manual, called DSM-III. (There have been two more editions since, and the current one is DSM-5.) PTSD is also called Operational Stress Injury and it is a serious psychological or mental wound. There are many informative comparisons to physical injury, and as with physical injuries, there are mild cases, and severe cases. However, many physical injuries heal without much treatment. Traumatic emotional injuries are seldom like this. Left untended, they tend to get gradually worse.
Injuries such as fractures, sprains, and serious physical wounds all leave scars, so that recovery is never truly complete. The scars remain, even when function is recovered. Generally, old scars do not hurt, but people who have been wounded do not heal in such a way that there is no evidence of the wound. They do not return to the people they were, before the injury. Partially, this is because they are older than they were, before they were hurt. If someone's arm has been badly injured, after rehabilitation and recovery, that arm will almost certainly be more vulnerable to re-injury than the other arm, which had not been damaged. Its function may be somewhat impaired, or it may not be as strong. It may need to be protected from some kinds of stress.
No one finds these kinds of outcomes remarkable when physical injuries are involved, but it is often difficult to understand that when someone has had a mental or psychological injury, even after successful treatment and recovery, that person will be vulnerable to re-injury. There will be a need for protection from re-injury. There will be emotional scars. One reason for this difficulty is that PTSD involves invisible injuries. They leave invisible scars. Even if the person's appearance is very much the same as before the injury, that person will not feel the same.
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to compare psychological recovery from emotional trauma, with another painful psychological experience, such as grief. When people experience profound grief over the loss of a loved one, they do not recover from their grief in such a way as to become the same person they were, before the loss. Experiences of that kind change people profoundly, but we still speak confidently about recovery from grief. It is accepted that there will be scars from such experiences.
I can help people recover from the kinds of experiences that cause PTSD, including techniques that will help them protect themselves from re-injury, or relapse. I can't return them to the people they were before those injuries, but I can help them resume competent management of their lives, and achieve a stable situation wherein they no longer have to live with constant psychological distress. My goal for my clients is to see them into a life adjustment where their scars are not painful. It is possible, eventually for those scars to not hurt.

It is incredible how many things I get wrong about investing and still wake up every morning excited to invest.
The good news is that something this old and boring and non millennial friendly is working and people are out spending money.

Hi John. Have a look at Barn the Spoon on You Tube. This man carves spoons for a living and can make a spoon in minutes(.But he doe's carves a lot of spoons) also look up Bodgers.org. a green wood working group. with members all over the country of which I am a member I have carved approx 40 spoons so far. Regards Robin
Spoon Lovers
Hello everyone,
I thought this recent addition to our British Folk Art collection might be of interest to some of the spoon lovers amongst you.
We acquired this piece in late 2015 and installed it during our Winter closed period, ready for Compton Verney's Spring opening.
It is carved in the shape of a longcase clock, fashioned out of English Beech circa 1800.
There are numerous historical references to carved gifts such as spoons being given as romantic gifts, often carved with meaningful personal motifs incorporated into the design.
In Treen and other Wooden Bygones, E.H. Pinto describes a Victorian practice of couples being given a small wooden pair of shoes connected by a chain (!): "It was formally a charming marriage custom to carve and give them to the bride and groom, with a knob of coal in one and… and sugar in the other, to ensure that the couple never lacked warmth and sweetness."
It's a wonder the John Lewis wedding gift list ever took off!
I can admire the skill required to carve such a detailed spoon all the more, having made an attempt to carve a Beechwood spoon myself recently.
My much simpler, less intricate effort took me a fair while – it was near dark when I finally finished!
Just another 7 spoons, 8 teaspoons, forks, knives, spatulas and salad servers to go…. Best get to it.

The Secrets of Grabbing Attention Online: Insights from YouTube's "Skip" Button
Creating ads is a tricky business.
It's a case of a phenomenon I've mentioned before: the marketer's equivalent of the Hawthorne Effect, which was a study done in the 1920s that discovered changes to people's experimental conditions (amount of light, time to work, etc.) led directly to increases in productivity.
Well, interruptions lead to negativity — decreases in productivity, decreases in happiness. And most ads are, in fact, very interruptive. They were built to be.
Today's modern, savvy consumer doesn't react well when they know they're being promoted to, especially when ads are interrupting a current consumption or focus.
Take, for example, clicking a YouTube video. An ad pops up — the viewer may already have their mouse in the lower-right corner, just waiting on "Skip" to appear.
This could be said for all ads. I mean, just look at the ROA (return on advertising). Yikes.
Source: Ad Strategist (see our summary on Express Writers)
Just a few years ago, you could expect to generate nearly a dozen times your investment on Facebook Ads, whereas that number has plummeted in the present day.
It isn't just because of the woes of any particular platform. It's because people are cautious about being promoted to.
So, what's the secret for getting them to stick around and hear what you have to say?
Well, what about looking at the ads on YouTube that people simply have to stop and watch, and can't skip? Yes, we can learn a thing or two from those captivating pieces of art. That's what I'm here today on the Write Blog to explore.What's the secret in getting people to stick around and hear what you have to say, in an online world full of millions of other marketers? @YouTube's skip button has some pretty cool insights. 📹 More from @JuliaEMcCoy Click To Tweet
The Appeal of Storytelling: What Makes Us Gravitate to it?
There's something enthralling about a good story. Most people's first exposure to stories comes when they're small, hearing about fairytales before bed.
Stories stick with us throughout life, both on the personal level of banter and campfire stories all the way to tales woven into books, TV, and movies.
In a way, our lives are stories. Maybe that's why we relate to the stories of others so well. Stories and the narratives that come with them are proven to help us construct memories, playing a greater role in our psyche than many realize.
A group of neuroscientists at Princeton University did a study on brain patterns during storytelling. They found the response patterns in the brain were the same for the listeners as they were for the storytellers. Both figuratively and scientifically, stories connect us.Learn what makes @YouTube audience members forget to hit 'skip' on ads.

It should come as no surprise that storytelling has emerged as a powerful strategy within marketing. Great content connects the creators with the audience and the brand with the customers.

The connection between story-like ads and the tendency of people to avoid the skip button has been explored and reveals insights on what makes an ad good in the mind of a viewer.
3 Lessons on What Makes Ads Watchable and Inviting
3 secrets to grabbing attention, from @YouTube's Skip button: 1. Personalized content 2. Genuine storytelling 3. Content that feels real 💥 Click To Tweet
Telling your viewer a story rather than giving them a pitch is much more likely to make them stick around. Here are three examples of how it's worked in the past, and how you can do it in your own ads.
1. Personalized Ads Help Bridge Taboo Topics
Abreva had a tough task ahead of them when they marketed a solution to cold sores. While this is a problem many people suffer from, it isn't one a lot of people like to talk about. Turning to YouTube and building over 100 personal ads, Abreva sent simple, six-second pre-rolls to users based on relevancy.
Search interest boomed over 300%. Users who were searching celebrity gossip would get ads about how they couldn't control the latest breakup but could stop cold sores. Users who searched up beauty tutorials would get ads on how they could keep pouty lips but lose cold sores.
Personalized ads blend in – making them feel less promotional and more relatable. They also effectively bypass any defensive tendencies the viewer may have as a result.
2. Genuine Storytelling Grabs a Viewer's Attention
The volume of ads, and content, in general, is growing rapidly. With so many options to choose from, users are extremely selective. They'll move on fast from video or an ad if it isn't connecting with them from the beginning.
Nearly two-thirds of people skip ads when given the chance, with nearly three-quarters of people admitting they do it out of habit. In a 15-second ad, you have a little over five seconds before the skip option pops up. In a 30-second ad, you have a little over seven seconds.
Why do they do it? More often than not, it's because they just want to get to the video.
Source: MarketingSherpa
So how do you stop them from skipping? Give them something just as interesting to watch. Your content becomes less like a barrier blocking them and more like a content appetizer before the main course.
If you hear a good opening line in a book, a movie trailer, or a TV pitch, you may stick around. What's this story about?
The same thing can be done with an ad. To stop viewers from impulse skipping, you should start your story off from the beginning and build on it.
3. Content That Feels Real Gets Watched
Going back to how people will automatically put up their guard if they feel a promotion coming on, real content is the way to go. What qualifies as real? If something is real, it has a genuine feel to it. It's full of facts and insight, rather than products and offers.
This can also tie in with personalization and storytelling. Imagine crafting an ad and sending it to someone who is passionate about the subject, all while telling them a relatable tale they can put themselves into. That's a recipe for views.
Source: Think with Google
Think of those ads with a guy recording himself with his phone, telling you about his business idea. It has the risk of appearing pitchy, but it's genuine enough that viewers may just want to stick around.
Stories with realism and relatability click with us. They're far more personal and impactful than a generic advertisement thrown at whoever will watch, no matter how polished it is. They're also more effective for advertisers. Why send the same ad out and simply take a chance on people watching it?
Personal campaigns with appealing stories are far more likely to keep people engaged.'Stories with realism and relatability click with us. They're far more personal and impactful than a generic advertisement thrown at whoever will watch, no matter how polished it is.' - @JuliaEMcCoy on the 3 lessons on watchable ads Click To Tweet
Stories Are About the Listener & Their Takeaway
Most marketers know that good value-focused marketing is about the customer first, not the brand.
The same could be said about good advertisements. Whether a YouTube pre-roll or a webpage dropdown ad, the same principals apply.
You don't want your ad jumping in front of someone on their way to watch something else, only to try and ask them for sale – even in not so many words.
Instead, you want your ad to come off more like a personal tale. A story that resonates with the viewer, connects with them and makes them feel like they're being treated to something rather than forced to tolerate it for a few seconds.
The results will speak for themselves, and they already do. Authentic stories and personalized content build the connection you need with your viewer and can stop them from skipping you before hearing what you have to say.

Dear readers,
It's been another busy year for award-winning developments across the UK. In this month's edition of Premier Construction, we celebrate the projects that are putting our construction industry on the map.
On June 21st 2012, the winners of the 2012 Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Awards were announced. The awards signify architectural excellence within the industry and were presented to fifty buildings in the UK and nine within the EU. Winners included the new BFI Master Film Store in Warwickshire, a Victorian house on Dalling Road in London and the £25 million Exhibition Road project.
RIBA President, Angela Brady, commented:
"What really stands out is that even in times of austerity, we can still deliver amazingly clever, high quality buildings that reflect the needs of today and enhance our daily lives. These projects are truly exciting and inspiring."
Held every two years, the Aberdeenshire Design Awards celebrate the most outstanding achievements in design innovation. With the original 106 designs now whittled down to just 28, the awards ceremony will be held on 6th September 2012.
The shortlist encompasses a variety of impressive projects, including the beautiful Les Enfants Nursery in Inverurie, which also received a Commendation Award at the Aberdeen Society of Architects Design Awards and was shortlisted for the NMT Awards 2011.
NHBC has announced the names of over 400 top achieving site managers who have been recognised in the first round of the Pride in the Job Awards 2012. Names were shortlisted from over 13,000 UK site managers who have excelled in their field over the past 12 months. Amongst the 2012 winners are: Hugh McKay for Heritage Gate Phase 2, Gerry Rice for The Limes and George Carty for Calderpark.
Our construction contractors are also making us proud. In May 2012, WFC was awarded the coveted NAS Design Award for its exceptional work on The Delaunay. Commenting on their win, Managing Director of WFC, Steve Howle, said: "We are extremely proud to have been awarded the NAS Design Award after working alongside our client Rex Restaurant Associates and designers David Collins Studios, whose approach and level of professionalism enabled us to produce a high quality end product."
Beardwell Construction Ltd celebrated another win for the construction industry when they were awarded Heritage Project of the Year 2011 at the National Federation of Builders Annual Awards 2012 for their work on the 130-year old Prittlewell Chapel in Southend-on-Sea.
We now invite you, readers, to join us as we praise the people who are building our future.
