TODAY'S GREEN MANTRA: I will adjust my breakfast meals to fit within the seasonal fruit and vegetable options available where I live
Day 25 / 365
For the days to follow I'm going to share a few simple recipe ideas that allow you to continue to eat what you like eating with only slight adjustments or considerations in tow.
For the days to follow I'm going to share a few simple recipe ideas that allow you to continue to eat what you like eating with only slight adjustments or considerations in tow.
Here in France, eating in season is pretty easy, you buy most your food in the market (it's heaps cheaper than the grocery stores and about as charming as food shopping can get), and the market only has what's in season, so you won't find strawberries in December or clementines in June, you're limited to what's available in the season that you're in. You also have a giant sign hanging above each item which indicates the product's country of origin and if its from France, you're given the region of origin as well (so I buy apples from the area in which I live, rather than apples from further down south).
It's been a particularly warm year this year so, the warmest in the recorded history it's said, so some fruits and veg have been available outside their normal seasonal reach. Clement, the charmer dude who I buy all my fruit and veg from told me figs, which are normally only available until November, are still available now because the temperature didn't drop this year which is great for me (thanks to global warming!), but not a great sign for the state of our planet ... all the more reason to shift ones eating habits.
In North America and other places in Europe, as well as Australia, shopping seasonally can become tricky if you're not a Farmer's Market shopper. The easiest thing to do to combat any inconvenience that developing these new habits might bring you is to google what fruits and veg are in season in your area. It will make your shopping list easier and cheaper, plus you'll be doing the planet a big ole favour.
If you happen to be looking for somekitchen art, there are some artists on Etsy selling prints of the seasonal fruit and veg available in your area, which is a nice reminder too (I'm planning on painting THIS ONE on our wall, mural styles).
To begin this seasonal eating suggestions, I thought I'd share a popular winter breakfast choice for most (which can be adjusted to vegan, gluten free and most other dietary requirements), cosy Porridge adjusted to fit the seasonal fruits. You can adjust pretty much any breakfast preference, from muffins to eggs on toast too.
with pears, figs and dates
- 40g rolled oats / ancient grains
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1 cup of any local milk of choice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp local maple syrup / local honey
- local winter fruits of choice **
- a small handful of nuts
*ideally a faux milk made locally, check the package to find out where your milk came from, or try making your own (check out this recipe for DIY Macadamia Nut Milk). Avoid cow's milk if it doesn't come from a local farmer.
**using pears, figs and dates are my favs here in France. Other fruits include clementines, plums, kiwi, papaya, passion fruit, persimmons, pomegranate, tangerines
- first cut the pears into small pieces and put them pears in about a quarter cup of water, add half a teaspoon of cinnamon and a drop of vanilla and cook it on a medium heat, leave it to reduce for 6-8 minutes. (this trick via Honestly Healthy)
- put the oats or ancient grains in another pan and dry-toast them on a low heat until they're slightly golden, mixing in the rest of the cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and vanilla as you go
- add a mixture of water and half the milk to the grains and bring it to a boil
- stir continuously
- add in the pear, dates and fig so they get warmed up
- put it in a bowl (or eat it out of the pan if no one is around to judge ya)
- sprinkle the nuts and add the rest of the milk and drizzle on some honey or maple syrup
- enjoy!

Kid Joke: Knotty Rope
Believe it or not, our nine year old son made this one up the other day. He was trying to make up a funny joke and was failing miserably when he suddenly stumbled onto this one. The fact that it made sense and was actually kind of funny/clever surprised us so much that we both burst out laughing. So… Without further ado…
Q: Why did the rope get in trouble at school?
A: Because he was knotty!
(It's quite possible that this joke already exists, but I'm claiming it as his since neither of us had ever heard it before.)

Unite reaffirms backing for workers involved in Trident programme
Unite has reaffirmed defending the jobs of tens of thousands of defence workers involved in the Trident nuclear submarine programme.
But the union also attacked successive governments for their failure to develop a defence diversification strategy that would safeguard defence jobs.
Ahead of next week's vote in Parliament on the renewal of the Trident weapons system, delegates at Unite's policy conference in Brighton backed an executive council statement opposing in principle the possession of nuclear weapons, but adding the union could not accept the "obliteration" of thousands of its members' jobs.
Unite General Secretary Len McCluskey backed workers involved in the Trident programme
The statement said: "Unite does not and never will advocate or support any course of public policy which will put at risk jobs or communities.
"Defence diversification is not going to be taken seriously by this Government and we cannot ask our members in the affected industries to buy a pig in the poke.
"The possibility of new jobs of similar quality tomorrow will not support workers and their families and communities today.
"Until there is a government in office ready, willing and able to give cast-iron guarantees on the security of the skilled work and all employment involved, our priority must be to defend and secure our members' employment.
"Unite commits to campaigning to secure a serious government approach to defence diversification, enabling Britain to play its part in nuclear disarmament and urges the Labour Party to give the highest priority to this aspect in it considerations."
General secretary Len McCluskey said: "We reassert our broad principles regarding opposition to nuclear weapons and our strong support for defence diversification.
"But we know that we do not have a government in place that has any interest in giving effect to either of those principles. Here in 2016, a vote against building those submarines would have only one immediate effect. The destruction of jobs, workplaces and communities of thousands of skilled Unite members, represented in this room today.
"The statement also underlines our Defend our Spend campaign, to ensure that the UK's defence budget is spent on procurement here in Britain and Ireland, sustaining the jobs of our members, rather than exporting them to the USA or elsewhere."

This course was easy to follow, it is thought provoking and if you are ready to approach your life with flexibility and patience, this is insightful and inspiring material. I follow the writing of Prof. Friedman watching the course video was very engaging as well. In fact, I hate to admit, I am not very engaged by online learning and this is the first course on this platform that I was able to complete. Lastly it has inspired to me to challenge myself in new ways and to read some of the biographies/autobiographies shared. In a time period where we "follow" people it is nice to dig a little deeper into their histories and what decisions and theories shape who they are.

This was an amazing class. Not only was the content engaging but the professor used appropriate supplement materials to make it easy to follow along. The background in the videos was aesthetically pleasing and the professor had a friendly demeanor. The content expanded on both well known and less known individuals which caused me to keep investigating and learning about the examples even after I completed the class. I feel this class was very helpful and I will use the information in the future. I highly recommend this class.

If you're visiting Singapore, you're going to want to make time to eat. This island is a country of food lovers. Some of the best Singapore street food can be found in local hawker centres and small, family run eateries. Here are our MUST EAT Top 5 local dishes to eat in Singapore…
Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links, thank you for supporting our blog by using these links.
First, watch our Singapore street food video…
1. A classic Singaporean breakfast
Make sure you hunt down a traditional kopitiam and while away an hour or two over breakfast. Sitting in these traditional coffee shops you'll feel like you've stepped back in time. Order the classic Singaporean breakfast of soft-boiled eggs, and kaya (coconut jam) toast and wash it down with a strong kopi- black filter coffee with a dollop of condensed milk added to it for sweetness. If you want to take it up a notch try the butter kopi at Heap Seng Leong where a slice of butter is added to the coffee for extra decadence.
Try it at: Heap Seng Leong, 10 N Bridge Rd, #01-5109, Singapore 190010. Open daily 4:00am to 8:00pm
2. Katong laksa
Unique to Singapore, Katong laksa is a noodle soup featuring a spicy, coconut based broth which can be eaten just with a spoon. Short rice noodles, blood cockles, fishcake, a dollop of sambal (chilli sauce) and finely sliced laksa leaf wallow in a creamy soup. It's a tasty, satisfying dish and definitely one to hunt down when you're in Singapore.
Try it at: Sungei Road Laksa, Blk 27 Jalan Berseh #01-100, Singapore 200027. Open 9:30am to 5:00pm. Closed Wednesday.
3. Char Kway Teow
Char Kway Teow is a local's favourite. This fried noodle dish is made up of kway teow (rice noodles), blood cockles, chives, egg and lap cheong (preserved Chinese pork sausage). It's cooked in a hot wok with a dollop of sambal (chilli sauce), pork lard and a mixture of soy sauce and sweet soy. A great char kway teow is characterised by the wok hei or the 'breath of the wok'- if you can taste the smoky, charred essence of the wok in the dish, you know you're onto a winner! It may not be the healthiest dish but it sure satisfies in the taste stakes!
Try it at: Hillstreet Char Koay Teow, 16 Bedok South Rd, #01-41, Singapore 460016. Open 11:30am to 4:45pm. Closed Monday.
4. Hainanese Chicken Rice
You can't visit Singapore and not eat the national dish of Hainanese chicken rice! Chicken is gently poached and served with an oily rice which is cooked using the poaching liquid together with aromatics like garlic and ginger. Served with slices of fresh cucumber, a sauce of minced chilli and garlic and a simple chicken stock soup- this meal is simple yet packed with flavour. You will find excellent versions of this dish in hawker centres all around Singapore we love Tong Fong Fatt Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice and the restaurant we ate at in the video above, Yet Con.
Try it at: Yet Con, 25 Purvis Street, Singapore 188602. Open daily 12:00pm to 7:00pm and Tong Fong Fatt Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice, Maxwell Food Centre or Ghim Mo Food Centre.
5. Roti prata
You can't beat fresh crispy roti dipped in creamy dal or a spicy curry sauce for breakfast. This Indian flatbread made from wheat flour, ghee and water is a simple yet decadent breakfast. Watching the cooks prepare the roti is half the pleasure. The dough is slapped on a well oiled stainless steel bench until it's almost transparent before being cooked on a hot plate. Flaky, buttery and oh so delicious.
Try it at: Mr and Mrs Moghan's Super Crispy Roti Prata, 7 Crane Road, Singapore 429356. Open daily 6:30am to 1:00pm.
Travel Insurance
No matter where you're travelling to we always recommend you have travel insurance. We use and love World Nomads. The great thing about them is that you can purchase travel insurance while you're already travelling!
We hope this Singapore food guide has helped you eat and explore like a traveller, not a tourist!

Office outfits:
How your underwear can help or hinder your career!
Can your underwear help or hinder your career? The first step to succes is to believe in yourself and this requires some confidence. Your lingerie won't be the cause of your succes but it will definitely influence your appearance. Your lingerie can (unconsciously) influence the way you feel just like any other garment. Discover our office outfit advice regarding underwear and discover how this will help your career!
Your posture definitely influences your appeareance and how other people perceive you. When you always sit slouched forward with your shoulders rounded in you have a closed posture which makes you come across as more insecure than when you have the right posture. An open posture (shoulders pulled back and chest up) positively influences your appearance. It will make you look more confident and you will automatically feel this way.
Do you have bigger breasts?
Then it can sometimes be hard to take the right posture. Either because sitting straight will feel as if you are showing them off or because you don't get the right support from your bra. Sounds familiar? The solution: wear a bra with thicker bra straps for extra support. It is also extremely important you are wearing the right size as the wrong size won't give you the support you need.
Do you have smaller breasts?
Then it can also be difficult to take on the right posture especially if you are a bit insecure about them. Sitting upright can make you more self conscious about the size of your breasts. The solution: wear a padded bra to emphasize your natural breast shape or give your boobies a boost by wearing a push up bra!
Whether you have to wear a corporate office outfit (read: fancy shirts and skirts) or don't have to oblidge to a specific dresscode, you always have to look presentable. Guess what? The right bra can do the trick! It is always good to have a couple of bras that you can combine with specific office outfits.
Wear a t-shirt bra as your everyday bra. A t-shirt bra has soft, smooth cups which makes them invisible under tops. Where you'd might see the structure of your gorgeous lace bra through your top, your t-shirt bra will definitely not show. It is an absolute must have for your daily outfit. Another plus of a t-shirt bra? It has padded cups so no more worrying about anyone noticing you are too cold when the airco is on too high.
Do you like to wear nice tops or dresses with a V-neck? Try out a plunge bra. The cups of this type of bra are low cut so you won't see the cups when wearing a V-neck top. Plus: a plunge bra also gives you a cleavage to die for! Do note that a low cut V-neck might be innapropriate to wear to work.
A proper strapless bra is another musthave in your wardrobe. They are especially good for those dresses and tops that have off-shouder sleeves or are strapless! This way you won't see annoying bra straps.
Do you love to wear more slim fitted dresses or pants to work? Pay attention to visible panty lines (VPLs) as no one really needs to see what type of underwear you are wearing today. Wear invisible knickers to know for sure that no one can tell what underwear you are wearing. Invisible knickers don't have any panty lines so they won't show through your clothes.
Another tip for slim fitted dresses: shapewear! Shapewear makes you look slimmer and emphasizes your curves and waist in a positive way.
Do you often wear white tops to work? Then it can be hard to find the right coloured bra that won't show. The solution: skin toned or red bras. These colours will show less under a white shirt than white or black bras.

UNDERCOVER: OUR SECRET OBSESSIONS is a must read for anyone whose life has been touched by addiction. To learn more about this novel, please click the link below:
According to The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), "The overall picture of drug abuse in the United States is constantly changing." There may also be some differences between those drugs most abused within the United States and those most abused throughout the world. Given the changing conditions of this phenomenon, and the difficulty involved in determining the frequency at which some drugs (legal, prescription) are actually abused, these are the best reports available.
Tobacco, nicotine, and cigarettes in general, are by far the most abused drugs in the world, with more than 46.5 million smokers within the United States alone. There are more than 400,000 deaths reported annually due to the use of tobacco and nicotine. The act of smoking adds to the danger of tobacco and nicotine addiction, for both smokers, and those breathing the smoke related to the habit.
Alcohol, a legal drug, is next in line in the order of drugs most abused. While small quantities of red wine can actually have health benefits, more than two drinks per day (men), and one drink per day (women), are related to the occurrence of cancer, and other serious disease. Traffic fatalities, domestic violence, child abuse, and liver disease are also related to alcohol abuse. Alcohol is also common at the scene of the crime in many murders, especially those between acquaintances and family members.
There appears to be some conflict in the reports regarding which of these is number three on the list of most abused drugs, and which is number four. Marijuana has commonly been named as the most abused illegal drug in America and the world; however, prescription drug abuse is more difficult to detect since these drugs are purchased and stored legally, and often used abusively, as well as by those other than for whom they were prescribed.
OTC, or Over the Counter Drugs are commonly abused, and have been associated with the illegal production of methamphetamine in dangerous home labs. The most commonly abused prescription drugs are Opioid, analgesic drugs used to suppress physical pain. Abusers use them to experience numbness, sedation and euphoria. Depressants such as Valium, Xanax, and Librium are also abused for their sadating effects, and are often abused by those for whom they are prescribed. Stimulant prescription drug abuse is also common of Ritalin, Dexedrine, and Meridia, for their euphoric effects.
Baby boomers, now beginning to age, create a special problem, since many are already drug abusers, now being prescribed additional drugs for medical reasons. It is feared that drug interactions will cause physical problems, as well as intefere with the appropriate diagnosis of doctors who are unaware of the drug abuse of their patients. According to reports made by the Substance Abuse Administration, which regularly queries Americans on their drug and alcohol use, of 20,000 adults aged 50-59, 5.2 percent had used marijuana within the past year, and 2.9 percent had taken prescription drugs that were not prescribed to them, most often painkillers. This report does not even include those who abused drugs that were prescribed to them, a figure that would definitely increase the percentages reported here. One problem with senior citizens using drugs is that the physiology of the body slows down as one ages, thus processing abusive drugs out of the body will not happen as quickly as it did when they were younger.
Another problem population related to prescription drugs and marijuana are today's youth. Most parents are aware of at least some of the dangers of cannabis, though many do not realize how much stronger it is today, than in the sixties. Parents are often totally unaware; however, of the number of young people using prescription medications abusively, a problem compounded by the fact that the drugs abused are usually those of the parents involved. Teens find and use drugs left in medicine cabinets and forgotten, and share them with their friends. It is difficult to know how many prescription drugs are being abused, because they are prescribed legally by doctors. Still, of all drugs, alcohol remains the number one abused drug by youth in America, and the world, and its accessibility is also obvious.
Probably the fifth most abused drug in the world, and the most abused of stimulant drugs, methamphetamine is often used initially to suppress appetite, but is used most commonly for increased energy, alertness, and euphoria. Extended use causes days of wakefulness and increased physical activity, hyper-sexual behavior, delusions of paranoia, destruction of tooth enamel, gum disease, and convulsions that can be fatal. The drug is highly addictive, and many effected insist addiction began the first moment it was used.
Similar in its effects to methamphetamine, these tablets are easily the sixth most abused drugs in the world. They are easily available and used to promote positive feelings and extreme relaxation. They are also the choice drugs at rave parties, used for all night stimulation. Often called the hug-drug, or love-drug, they have also been associated with date rape.
Once considered the number one drug problem, crack cocaine has fallen to number seven on the list. Well known for its euphoric effects, crack causes restricted blood vessels, increased temperature, increased heart rate, and increased blood pressure. Like methamphetamine and other stimulant drugs, it can lead to cardiac arrest, and death.
Once thought of as the ultimate in drug addiction, heroin now ranks number eight in the list of most abused drugs. This illegal drug is found everywhere in powder form, and is usually snorted, freebased, or injected into the veins, after being melted to liquid form in a spoon by a lighted match, cigarette lighter or fire from a gas stove. Heroin is highly addictive, and causes severe cramps during withdrawal, known as cold turkey.
Sometimes referred to as human growth hormones, steroids are used most often by athletes, hoping to improve or increase their performance. Body builders commonly use the drug to enhance the appearance of muscle mass. Use of steroids is not allowed in most sports events, and urine tests are conducted in an attempt to eliminate its use; however, they are only partially successful. Steroids can cause depression, and violent behavior in those who abuse them. Steroids are number nine on the list of most abused drugs.
Inhalants are actually products common in every household and office. Such products as magic markers, aerosol cans, nail polish, cleaning solutions, glue, plastic cement, and even gasoline, can become inhalants. These are used mainly by very young individuals who wish to get high, but do not have access to other drugs.
It is important to remember that drug use is not a static event, and is an ever changing one; therefore, these drugs can change in order of most abused at any time. As a concerned citizen, it is important to keep up with the changing nature of drug use in your country, and in the world.
Got a question
Valerie, good article and dead on. Thanks for posting this for all to see. I am 20 years sober and across these two decades I've come to know the enemy I'm up against. Since reaching my mid-fifties, I know more people suffering from emphasema and lung cancer than ever. It doesn't matter is your sober or not, it still kills on a regular basis. And COPD is such a horrible death.
Alcoholism is a world class killer that kills in every neighborhood in every state around the world. It has been with man since the day of Noah and has never dropped out of the top five killers even during WWII. Still, young people try it everyday, "What could a cigarette and a beer hurt?"
Great Hub. Voted up. You are very talented writer.
i love this site
Great Hub! I live in Montana, which has been the target of a very aggressive anti-meth campaign in the last few years (http://www.methproject.org/).
Yet according to your Hub, alcohol is 5 times the problem of meth. I don't doubt it. I'd say alcoholics outnumber tweakers 10 to 1 in Montana, but there's no graphic billboards depicting the horrors of drinking.
Meth, heroin and cocaine get all the press even though they comprise a fraction of the overall problem of abuse.
Let's face it. Being an alcoholic just isn't sexy enough.
this is a really helpful site
Great hub thanks for raising awarness!
thanks for the info. it really helps for the essay that i am doing for the effects of drugs. the thing that i needed to know is the most commonly abused drugs all around the world. so thank you so much! :D
Great Hub!
Props to you. This hub was fantastic. I to have written about addiction being that I am a recovering addict my self and found this hub bold and extremely informative! Awesome work.
Amazing Hub! I am a very anti drug person besides drinking some coffee or having a coca cola. I like the short and simple way of explanation and was surprised by such a long list.
Since I'm Bipolar I've always been very happy for the fact that I never did care about trying out anything in the list. It would have complicated my life a whole lot more.
Voted up and useful!
Just want t put in my 2 cents... Ecstasy isn't actually used as a date rape drug
Web I took ecstasy, I didt feel like having sex at all... Just sorta cuddling and enjoying ur partner's presence. And even when she asked to have sex, it ea impossible to get hard. All my friends had this sorta problem too on ecstasy.
Drugs are abused because we overdose it instead of following the recommended dosage. Some drugs are considered abused simply because they have higher health risks and dependency. Nice hub Val. Thanks for sharing.
Very Nice Post........Very Nice. Thanks for share.
There are so many drugs to which our generation is addicted,Valium is one of them.Valium is once of the most well-known drugs of its type it is used by millions of people so it is no surprise that valium addiction is not unusual. Valium is one of the benzodiazepines, as is diazepam and librium. For people who have anxiety disorders, the formulation of valium was an apparently wonderful development. The drug is classified as a hypnotic, anticonvulsant, and muscle relaxant. Valium was first introduced onto the market in 1963, a derivative of librium, and is used today as a treatment for anxiety. Valium has been the most popular tranquilizer for the past 40 years. "Mother's Little Helper" was a miracle drug. The problem, as with all tranquilizers and "feel good medications" is that they are extremely addictive.So,don't take Valium without doctor's instruction.and if by chance you are addicted than contact us at our web site:-http://addictioncalifornia.com/valium-addiction/
So many addictions, I think people get addicted to things in order to try to overcome stress when in all reality most of these listed cause more stress on the body!
I think this is a great hub with tons of information a lot of which many people are unaware of. You are involved in an area where a person of your caring nature will help many people. They are very lucky to have you. My own brother who committed suicide was addicted to medication prescribed by his doctors and psychiatrists for years. I would also add that nobody in this world escapes addiction. Everyone is addicted to something or other. We are more alarmed when we think of the substance abuse you outline in this hub because the results are visibly unacceptable to us. But there are other addictions that just happen to be acceptable to our generation like over working, over eating, watching TV all day, being on the internet or playing computer games,and many more. These addictions don't look so bad to us compared to the picture of someone injecting himself with drugs.One thing we all have in common is we are slaves to our particular choice of 'drug' be it chemical or otherwise and as long as we refuse to address the root cause at the subconscious level. I have voted you up and awesome.
I really hate smokers honestly because they only not affect themselves but also to others. *Sigh
As a fellow hubber, I'm doing some research on the issue of the efficacy of drug rehab and I found this story in the search engine. What a deal! I like this list except perscription drugs and marijuana shouldn't be lumped together, even though marijuana is legal for medicinal purposes in 15 states, in a sense making it a prescription drug. Anyway, equating opioids with pot, for instance, is like calling a handgun a howitzer. Hey, they both fire bullets, right? Later!
Why wasn't caffeine listed in this?
When I was young I was curious of the effect of drugs. Fortunately, my group of friends are not used them so I am saved. Fall into the cycle of addiction is very easy. For someone is more easy than others becouse born into a family with this problem, or in a place where this problem is common, or with a genetical predisposition. In any case it is a big problem, and it is worth trying to understand the true motivations behind.
Write, talk, exchange ideas and experiences is already a way, in my view, to address the problem. Know the drugs, legalized or not, is crucial, especially for parents or educators.
Thanks for your good work!
thanx this was very helpful for a project im doing in my gr9 gym class but one question what other types of drugs are out there that you did not mention
thanks a lot...
this info helped a lot for my project...
Excellent Hub Valerie!! Addiction is such a hard thing to break but it can be done. It's amazing that smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol are legal and our Government is making money on that too. Next Pot will be legal and taxed also. Addictions that will in the end kill us all and we still pay taxes to the Government to help in our death
Great hub, thanks - perhaps this will give you an insight into the seduction of Xanax https://hubpages.com/health/Xanax
You forgot to mention, Food is also addictive, especially junk food, that's the reason why people are sick and dying.
teens need to read this one
Hi y'all.I bumped into this hub in a cannabis/marijuana stupor and would like to point out a couple of things that should be obvious.
1 three types of people...abuseres...users...abstainers...the substance,physical or psychological,is irrelevant.It is the mind set that seeks escape.
2 cannabis/marijuana contains more tar than cigarettes but is smoked Much less frequently IE:a Heavy user smokes two or three joints per day.
3 most Importantly,Legal cannabis/marijuana store owners would not sell your teen age children pot[tired of spelling out the c/m]which would be much less available because the profit motive would be gone for criminals.Also,that scum drug dealer Will do his best to get your kids to use HARD drugs at every opportunity to the point of giving them away for free...until your kids are hooked that is.
At that point you should have a funeral...cause you just lost your child...
Oh I understand that. I am not into reading all those food hubs either. It kind of took over Hubpages didn't it. Perhaps after I get more information I shall write another about Angels, but I think someone else has done that here on hubpages. I like to be unique and a bit different with my views and what I bring to the reader. Too much of the same thing bores readers and me alike.
Another great one and will be adding your link to my Involuntary Commitment Process hub. Voted it up, and useful too
Good efforts...really it's nice hub...!!!
You have nailed down some important concepts, though your source on Cannabis information leaves out that several states have made the drug legal for pain sufferers and those who can otherwise waste away because they can't eat without their "prescription." Methamphetamine is the latest drug of choice. It is cheap, readily available, and addicts will do anything to get it.
Marijuana growers are relatively easy to single out and prosecute. Other drugs have to come across the border, mostly. It's hard, dangerous and the itty bitty busts'at the border don't win many headlines(or cash from the government).
The country has spent enough on the "war on drugs," now over
thirty years old, that the national debt could be eliminated. Do we have a national commitment to end drugs in this country? Hardly. There is too much profit to buy off too many government officials. In reality, alcohol costs the country much suffering but it is accepted and no one wants to talk about it. I can still remember going to a doctors office where the doctor had a huge cigar hanging out of his mouth. Other countries are giving up tobacco. The war on the growers and advertisers has had a major effect on the reduced consumption, especially some of the young.
Nice info on drugs. I didn't know there were so many in the list. thank you.
Great job presenting so much info. Well written. Useful.
Very insightful, great content, organization, and overall points.
Ooops, one more correction.
You stated: "...because it has just as much tar as cigarettes do, and smoking causes cancer, though this is the first report I've heard that cannabis might actually cure it. I have a hard time believing smoking anything at all could assist with a cure for cancer, since the chemicals involved in smoking, by themselves, are so destructive to the human body..."
For the last time, I'm NOT talking about SMOKING marijuana!! It's about taking the resin from the buds & putting through a chemical process to extract the pure hemp oil which has the CANNABINOIDS that are scientifically known to destroy cancer cells. This is why I believe it's ILLEGAL -- to protect the multibillion dollar Cancer Treatment industry which would go out of business OVER NIGHT.
Please watch "RUN FROM THE CURE - The Rick Simpson Story (Part 4 of 7)" to see the step-by-step instructions on making Pure Hemp Oil and some dirt dug up by a world-renowned pathologist (Dr. Sam Epstein - University of Chicago professor) in his book, CancerGate.
Part 3 will show you CTV and CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) footage about Marijuana Oil (since its cannabis as you stated) and about Rick Simpson's work.
I'm done here!! :-)
Learn your history first! Cannabis have been used for thousands of years in the Orient (going back 5000 thousand years) and was used for many things: medicine, textiles, food, building material et al. It was delieberately called MARIJUANA (as u like to call it) by Henry Anslinger and his government & media croonies (Hearst media empire) back in the late 30s and onwards in order to CONFUSE & scare people and the learned establishment so that they would not be legislating AGAINST cannabis (a plant known back then for its medicinal, textiles and other industrial uses). The Spanish-Mexican sounding "Marijuana" name deliberately played on the fears of WHITE ignorant men that their women would, instantly, want to have sex with Mexicans & Afro men if they smoked pot. And that these same "darkies" would turn into feinds and rapists once they ingested MARIJUANA. Got it????????? But I'm sure you knew this!!
>Dear Max, thanks for your comments
You're very welcome. :-)
> however, many feel that they are addicted to it.
I don't take sugar with my tea but the MAJORITY of people around the world do. Are they "addicted" to sugar then?? I believe a case can be made for this since they CAN'T drink said tea without sugar. :-)
What's my point? With regards to cannabis (please stop using the derogatory name 'marijuana'), yes, you get RELAXED when you smoke it and feel a little light headed (or high...not a deranged high as perpetrated by the mass media in order to demonize it) . So what?
Do u not drink alcohol to feel a little AT EASE? Do addicts not smoke cigarettes to CALM DOWN and reduce their jitters? Do Arabs, Persians & Indians in Asia not smoke hashish or scented steam from water through a bong to relax with and entertain family members & guests?
Do a vast majority of Americans not sit in front of their couches -- FOR HOURS -- watching mind-numbing programming on the Idiot Box (er TV) while not getting any exercise or mental stimulation? Most homes have 3 TVs! Talk about addiction!
And don't get me started with Coke & Pepsi...2 companies that "push" liquid chemicals to the masses which results in poor health (diabetes, obesity, hyperactivity/inattentiveness, decaying teeth, etc.).
So, WHAT is so wrong with LIKING (addiction? I think not) the relaxing "high" from smoking cannabis? Do you prefer people to have a "LOW" instead?? The opposite of high is low. Right?
My 2 cents.
Great post Valerie, but please STOP the disinformation on Cannabis (marijuana is a derogatory name used to demonize it back in the 1930s/40s). It is NOT addictive!! I agree that strains today have gotten stronger so user BEWARE.
News Flash: Pure hemp (er cannabis) oil (not hemp seed oil) cures cancer!
This video and link are all over the Net.
1) Small Community Cancer Cure Crushed by Big Pharma
2) Watch the Canadian documentary "Run from the Cure" on people Rick Simpson cured with hemp oil. It also shows how u can produce your own to save your loved ones with cancer or any other debilitating disease.
3) Take a peek at this video about a dude with AIDS who's viral load is continually declining with the use of hemp oil. He's now ditched his AIDS medicine. See for yourself on VodPod:
well, I am not really happy today as I am in a down stage with my bi-polar, however, I am happy to be clean today!!! Thanks for the comment. Chat any time!!! Blessings )O(
I am in recovery from a crack addiction. I also have bi-polar & PTSD. I am what is called a Dual Diagnosis. I can say from experience that when dealing with addiction & mental illness, it is a struggle every second. But, with deep gratitude to my higher power, I am clean today!!!
Very nice accurate hub I appreciate the time and effort put into it
Sad how deep in out society these drugs are and how much governments make on them - the OTC drugs is scary because it seems to be another legal abuse problem that goes undetected.
Big Pharma is the biggest lobbyiest against leagal marijuana because it competes directly with their business from pain management to muscular dystrophy to parkinsons in a big way(:
It is a sad thing when something as destructive as substance abuse can turn into a lucrative business. Just goes to show you how sick our society is.
Then go one step further and see how war and the constant neglect for our planet has always been a huge money maker.
Folks are always looking for a business opportunity. I'm not trying to be funny here. It seems that all this stuff stems from us believing that everything is separate and we are all alone on this planet. There is much confusion as to why we are alive and what it all means.
Morning Valerie, excellent Hub and it is interesting the two top are the ones the Government taxes the most and are readily available, the third on your list marijuana will likely soon be readily available and taxed much the same.
The cost of the after effects of any of the listings you have in regards to health are alarming to say the least but as well the spiritual and emotional trail of destruction is immeasurable in ruined lives.
Blessings and Hugs
Valerie, My heart goes out to people who get addicted to such things, I have no desire to try it nor have I ever. I have dealt with physical pain and it is very much a driving force to find relief and yet I found it in Yoga. Addiction is a powerful thing and I hope this helps many understand better. Thanks and Peace :)

Sophia is an adorable little three year old, with blond curly hair and a bright smile - you can't help but notice her. Sophia was diagnosed with Chromosome 16P11-2 Micro-deletion Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder, in May 2013.
Her struggles include Asthma, heart problems, speech deficits, and toe walking which requires her to wear leg braces six hours a day.
Rainbows has served Sophia since she was 18 months old. She received speech, physical, and occupational therapy until age three when she transitioned into services through the public school system. Sophia attends Buckner Elementary half days and the bus brings her to Rainbows Kids' Point for lunch and the afternoons.
"When we leave the house and ask her where she wants to go, she points and says 'I go Rainbows,' she wants to go to her daycare," Kim, her mother, said. "I would like everyone to know about the daycare, they have done amazing things for her. The attention and ratios you get and the support for special needs has been phenomenal."
Sophia has had no problem stealing the hearts of the staff at Rainbows. Kim recalls attending the Hampel Luau, a fundraiser held by a Rainbows family. "People kept stopping us and would say 'You're Sophia's parents!' you could tell she was loved."
Miss Cassie, Sophia's teacher, says what a joy it is to have her in Classroom 5. "She has great self help skills; she's very bright."
According to Miss Cassie and Kim, Sophia's favorite activities include playing with her babies, tea parties, and bossing people around.
"She's a spitfire," Kim said. "She's a happy, happy little girl with her own agenda and her own terms."

US's Dangerous Gamble.
The world's eyes were focusing on the Asia pacific, the US-China summit and Trump's insistence that the US can deal with the North Korean problem ideally with China but on its own if need be. So expectations were running high that a US-led military intervention in the region could be imminent.
But this week's major geopolitical event was not where all eyes were watching, in the Asia pacific region, instead, it was in another hot spot, the middle east, Syria.
April 4 a suspected chemical attack on a rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhoun in north-western Syria indiscriminately killed 80 civilians, according to reports.
In the fog of war it unclear who did what.
The Syrian military has denied using any chemical agents which are prohibited under the United Nations Chemical Weapons Convention. Moreover, Russia who is fighting alongside Syrian government forces claims that an air strike (from whom?) hit a rebel depot full of chemical weapons.
However, a UK expert, Hamish de Bretton-Gordon (former commanding officer of the British Armed Forces Joint Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear Regiment, said it was "pretty fanciful".
"Axiomatically, if you blow up Sarin, you destroy it," he told the BBC.
Syria 'chemical attack': What we know - BBC News
At least 80 people have been killed in a suspected chemical attack on a rebel-held town in northern Syria.
So who to believe?
Nevertheless, US President Trump did not spend much time analysing the evidence and consulting the international community (allies) on what would be the most appropriate, balanced and measured response.
Trump's reaction to the chemical attack in Syria was fast and furious. In less than forty-eight hours the President authorised a military response. US warships in the eastern Mediterranean were given the authorisation by their Commander and Chief to launch 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles. The missile's military GPS guided system was imputed with coordinates targeting various locations around the airfield including hangers and fuel storage areas. The 1,000-pound warheads were guided to their target and launched within one minute of each other. In other words, 59,000 pounds of explosives (in less than one hour) rained from the sky to disable an airfield.
To give you some idea of the magnitude of the attack the link below is a video of a 500lb going off real close in Iraq.
500 lb bomb going off real close in IRAQ - Al Anbar
A video of a 500 lb bomb going off in IRAQ real close while filming.....pretty amazing
Did Trump just use a sledgehammer to crack a nut (59,000 pounds of explosives to disable an airfield)?
It is true to say that these guided missiles have an expiry date (a useful shelf-life) after then they need to be replenished.
But could there be another reason why Trump authorised a knockout punch?
Assuming that the fingerprints of the Syrian army are all over this latest chemical attack (this is yet to be proven) then a US military response would indeed be justified on humanitarian and legal grounds.
However, there is another angle to the US's latest military intervention in Syria, in a few words we are seeing yet again a flip-flop in Trump's policy.
Not too long ago Trump was planning to fight ISIS with Putin. Instead what we now have is two military superpowers (US and Russia) fighting a proxy war in Syria.
Currently, Russian military personnel and aircraft are embedded with Syria's, and Iranian troops and paramilitary forces are also on the ground helping Assad fight the array of opposition groups hoping to topple him.
Meanwhile, the US is bombing Syrian airfields.
So the probability of 59 US cruise missiles causing causalities to Russian military personnel embedded with Syria's forces is real. In a few words, Russia and the US are now fighting a civil war in Syria on opposite sides which could lead the two superpowers into a direct war. The worse case scenario is that a proxy war in Syria could escalate into WWIII
What's more, Trump knows this.
US-Russian bilateral relations could now be at a low ebb and in a dangerous downward spiral.
We have yet to learn Russia's reaction to the latest US military intervention in Syria.
Obviously, if the US's smart bombs caused Russian casualties in Syria it will be very difficult for the US to argue that it was not deliberate.
Assuming that there are Russian casualties and that Russia deduces that the US deliberately targeted Russian forces operating in Syria then WWIII could just be a matter of a Russian military response. But that would be the worse case scenario.
Perhaps Russian forces were given a heads up about a pending US air strike?
If so, there should be no Russian casualties which would help de-escalate tensions between the two superpowers.
So the risk off trade is likely to continue until it becomes clear what Russia's reaction is likely to be.
But what we can deduce is that this US President doesn't burn the midnight candle reading pages of intelligence to take military action. Trump is quick to punch hard and doesn't give much of a warning either.
That sends a message; play by the sheriff's rules or expect tough consequences which could lead to (coerced) peace or war. Moreover, when nukes are thrown into the equation it becomes the US's dangerous gamble.

Zune 'final design' slips out, sort of
Putting the 'mock' in 'mock-up'
Microsoft's first Zune-branded device will launch in the US just ahead of the Thanksgiving break, rumour-mongers are claiming on the web. Oh, and it's going to have a 60GB hard drive. Or maybe a 30GB job. Or maybe both, in different configurations. And there'll be different colours... And... And... Enough already, here's what the Windows Media Player-integrated beast will really look like...
Top marks to Danish designer Klaus Silberbauer for putting the 'mock' in 'mock-up' with his reveletion of Zune's final design, posted today over at his blog. Sir, we salute you. And if Apple ever asks us who should succeed its industrial design guru, Jonathan Ive, we know who to suggest. ®

Everyone's go-to source for outdoor news, Forbes Magazine, has once again put Grand Targhee Resort on its list of the top ten ski resorts in North America … at number nine.
With insights such as noticing that Targhee isn't as steep as Snowbird and that we don't have the amenities of places like Vail (shocking, right?), the magazine ranked GTR just above Park City Mountain Resort and below Aspen Mountain, Highlands and Snowmass (which were scored as one resort.)
The review also perfectly describes the town of Driggs as, "once a typical western outpost of small, single-story aluminum-sided houses populated by a mix of hardcore outdoor people and Mormon families who had been around for a couple of generations."
Oh, and they offer plenty of powder-day tips.
"Just make sure you're skiing fast enough to get those critical face shots that fill up your wide-open mouth and nose."
To be fair, the rankings are done by ZRankings, not by Forbes, and take in a ton of factors to arrive at a cumulative score called the PAF or "Pure Awesomeness Factor." Aside from that overall rating, you can look at the specific factors that make up the PAF, like snow.
A much different picture emerges by looking only at the snow scores, and not the entire rankings. Based on snow score alone, Grand Targhee jumps from ninth to fourth with a 92.4.
For the holder of the top spot, and our dear neighbor, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, looking only at snow knocks them off their golden perch at number one all the way down to 28, with a snow score of 72.4.
In short, the ranking won't come as a shock to anyone who has lived in the valley for over a season: our snow is amazing but we don't have a Gucci Store downtown or a five-diamond restaurant hiding next to the Kwik Way.
And that awesome pow is made all the sweeter by the fact that crowds that flock to Summit County, Colorado aren't present here in Wyoming. A fact that makes some valley residents wince every time an outlet like Forbes Magazine lets the rest of the world in on our secret.

6 Cute Skater Skirt Outfit Ideas That You Must Try
Take full advantage of your short and sweet flared minis, and try out various stylish looks with it. Fashionhance provides six outfit ideas for wearing cute skater skirt.
Mary Anthony
Last Updated: Mar 1, 2018
Sonja Henie is attributed to be the founder of the short ice skating skirts. This ice skating attire was later adopted as skater skirts, and they shot up on the fashion meter only after Lauren Conrad paired leather skater skirts with silk blouses, offering a look that was both trendy and feminine.
A fresh and new stylish trend, a skater skirt could scream summer chic, but it doesn't mean it's just a seasonal outfit. Pair it up with a funky, feminine top, and voila! you are a fashion diva for any occasion. Skater skirts are universally appealing, the fitted A-line silhouette comes in every flattering style of fabrics, colors, and patterns, making it suitable for every personality.
It could well be your dream outfit as it gives off the illusion of a slimmer figure because of the high waist at the top and loose, flared fit on the bottom. So play dress up, and try out these cool ways to wear your flirty skirt.
Classic Leather
Classic leather style is so rock chic and funky, it reminds us so much of the '80s. Team it up with a blazer or leather jacket to look posh and sophisticated. To make the look casual and fun, wear it with a cute floral top.
If you want to go in for the vamp look, then pair it with a dark top and dark Gothic makeup.
If you want to go in for the vamp look, then pair it with a dark top and dark Gothic makeup.
Black and White Combo
Classy and upbeat, this style is eternal. Pair your skirt with a formal white top or a structured blazer, to look contemporary and confident for an official function. Channel your inner '70s diva, and wear it with a cute frill white top. Combining polka dots and strips might surprise you, or balance out with a top with bold prints and a skirt with small prints.
Add versatility to the outfit through white fringe handbag and heels.

Stylish Stockings and Tights
Include the skater skirt in your winter wardrobe with stockings and tights. A proper pair of stockings worn with your skater skirt can accentuate your slim legs. Rather than wearing the usual colored stockings and tights, try out floral print, animal print, jolly peas print, imitation of a tattoo print, graphic print, and lace.
Accessorize with cool sneakers or ankle boots.

Trendy Accessories
Accentuate those legs with your short skater skirt, and flaunt them in boots, heels, and gladiators. Wear chunky or statement jewelry along with the outfit.
Sometimes, a trendy hat and bag would go along well with the skater style.

Aviation History
32 FLIGHT, 11 January 1957 FROM ALL QUARTERS Woomera Developments " A NEW project" by A. V. Roe and Co., Ltd., at the Woomera**• range, to begin early this year, was mentioned last week by Mr. Howard Beale, Australian Minister of Supply and DefenceProduction. The firm has taken over the laboratories at Salis- bury, South Australia, recently vacated by Vickers-Armstrongs,Ltd. Mr. Beale gave no further details, but went on to say that, inanother new project, de Havilland (who have had a small team at Salisbury for some years) would be associated with representativesof Saunders-Roe, Ltd. (It will be recalled that a non-committal announcement of de Havilland Holdings, Ltd., having acquired aninterest in Saunders-Roe, Ltd., was made early last November.) The Minister added that British aviation and electronic firmsnow working at Salisbury totalled seven. In a second statement, on Sunday, Mr. Beale disclosed that twospecial research rockets are to be launched from Woomera this year. One, the Skylark, developed by the R.A.E., is designed tocarry equipment to a height of 100 miles or more. The Minister added that the "rockoon" method of launching rockets fromballoons, already practised in the United States, would be used in Australia for the first time. The second rocket was one developedAustralia, and it would be launched as part of the joint inU.K.-Australia guided weapons project. A 360 m.p.h. Beverley IN a New Year message to employees of Blackburn and GeneralAircraft, Ltd., Mr. Eric Turner, the company's chairman, says: "Apart from the present version of the Beverley, which will beproduced throughout 1957, you will be interested to know that we have just put forward proposals for modifying the Beverley toa turboprop version which would make it a long-range 360 m.p.h. machine without sacrificing its ability to operate from small,secondary airfields." Mr. Turner adds, "Then there is the new aircraft, still unfor-tunately hidden under the cloak of security. Many more of you will be working on this during the coming year, and the quickerwe get on with it the better it will be for us all. I believe that the aircraft will eventually go into widespread service at home andabroad, and when I tell you that in this class of aircraft we are ahead of anybody in the world, you will realize that the possibilitiesare tremendous if we pull together and make every post a winning post." [It may well be that the aircraft referred to by Mr. Turneris the new pure-jet carrier-borne strike aircraft ordered for the Royal Navy as a successor to the Wyvern.] Mr. Turner declares further that the prospects of the companyare better than at any time in its long history, "and for that matter," he adds, "better than those of many other companies inthe industry." As we go to press a news item from Brough states that twoBlackburn-Turbomeca Turmo 450 h.p. free-turbine engines are being consigned for delivery to Kaman Helicopters, of Bloomfield,Conn. They will be installed in experimental prototypes. The Mont|Blanc Rescue Attempts TpIGHT men were rescued by two Alouette helicopters from•*-' a hut near the summit of Mont Blanc on January 3, following unsuccessful attempts to save two young climbers who had beentrapped on the mountain for twelve days. The eight comprised the two-man crew of a Sikorsky S-55 helicopter, and two guides,who had crashed in the machine while attempting to rescue the two climbers on December 31, and four guides who had beenlowered from another helicopter after the first had crashed. The rescued men were flown to Chamonix, the two pilotssuffering from shock and frostbite. Rescue operations for the two climbers, who were officially believed to have died of exposure onthe night of December 31, were stopped on January 3, after the crashed S-55, in which the two men had been left for shelter, hadbeen examined from the air by the French Secretary of State for Air. Hermann Geiger, the well-known Alpine pilot, had alsoflown over the helicopter in his Piper Cub, and had suggested further rescue flights. It was decided not to make the attempt. Lady Handley Page WE record with regret the death, on January 2, of Lady HandleyPage, wife of Sir Frederick Handley Page. As Miss Una Helen Thynne, she was married in 1918, the year in which Mr. Handley Page (who was knighted 24 years later) was made a C.B.E. There are three daughters of the marriage. R.Ae.S. Presidential Address THE number of new members of the Royal Aeronautical Societyenrolled during 1956 was more than double that of any previous year. This news was contained in the Society's presidential addressby Mr. E. T. Jones, C.B., O.B.E., F.R.Ae.S., which was due to be delivered at Church House, Westminster, last night (January 10).A reception was to follow the address; we hope to give a full report of both functions in next week's issue. Mr. Jones' address, which was devoted to a general review of"three related subjects—the aeronautical engineer, the world's oldest aeronautical society, and the world's newest form of trans-port," had this to say about guided weapons: — "These new vehicles of the air, essential as they may be consideredfrom the military point of view, are competing for a part of the limited aeronautical effort and facilities available and, while in the main theyare expendable, they may prove useful stepping stones to other forms of air vehicle, and in any event they will certainly help in the furtherdevelopment of high-speed manned flight. In other words, just as the existence of the aircraft urged the development of nuclear weapons,so will these unmanned air vehicles provide data to accelerate further development of the aircraft." Armstrong Siddeley Reorganization NOW responsible for the technical development of all productsof Armstrong Siddeley Motors, Ltd., is Mr. W. H. ("Pat") Lindsey, M.A., F.R.Ae.S., who has been appointed technicaldirector of the company. Since 1950 Mr. Lindsey has been chiefengineer of the Aero-engine Divi- sion; his new responsibilitiesinclude diesel engines and cars. Mr. Lindsey joined A.S.M.from Cambridge in 1933. After graduate apprenticeship heworked as an assistant in the Research Department until 1940,when he was appointed research engineer in charge of his depart-ment. He was appointed deputy chief engineer in 1945, chiefengineer in 1950, and a director of the company in 1952. Following this latest appoint-ment, the technical administra- tion of the aero-engine divisionhas been reorganized. Mr. A. Thomas, deputy chief engineerand chief designer, is now respon- sible for all design activity; Mr. J. Marlow, deputy chief engineer,will control all development activities (including flight develop- ment); and technical activities (including those of the performancesection) will be under the chief technician, Mr. B. Slatter. Vulcan Report Anomalies THE statement in Parliament on the Vulcan accident at London *- Airport on October 1 went only a little way towards explaining the real causes of the accident. In a leading article last week we commented on this fact, but took the figures published in the report at their face value. A Hertfordshire reader, Mr. J. M.. EXPERT OPINION: Col. Bernt Balchen (centre foreground), the world- famous polar pilot, appraises the 9'/$ft by 5Vitt nose ski for the Lockheed C-130A Hercules. The main skis measure J9'/$fr by 5!4't. All runners are coated with Teflon to prevent freezing of the ski to the snow. Polar tests of the Ski-130 are scheduled for next month. Mr. W. H. Lindsey.

They will not be terminated.
The memories of angels you left exterminated,
The slimy beans-shaped mass you called with every thrust inside
You, you cried but did not call as you ride.
The smooth soft skin you will not kiss goodnight,
The bundle of joy you will never engage in a fight
You will have no innocent eyes to look into,
Teeny feet to watch take a first step in a tiny shoe
Red hurting finger to soothe with a kiss.
You will never worry for the milk tooth loss.
I have heard in the childish babble of every child the silent cry of my
slaughtered children.
I have strangled, squelched
The squeeze in my chest at the sight of bulging tummies walking herein.
I have murmured "ducky", if I transgressed, trespassed, if I snatched
Your violin
And your life from the future concert you planned,
If I stole from your fingers the feel of the texture of a teddy bear,
Your scary first day with the short lady in the warm day care,
Your first cry for milk, your first kiss and heartbreaks, your troubles,
pains, your bound to a mate,
The feel of breathe fading as you straight.
If I squashed your under-developed body
Trust, I meant no hurt to befall you with my cowardice.
Why should I lament my lack of strength twice?
Since you are dead, gone or rather no more
You could have been stronger, for
In this world is a cold war. So adieu
Oh, how do I put it? To the life you never knew
But you came, lived secured and left
Only you never felt on your face the cold breeze, calm,
The feel of ice cream on your little palm.
Trust me, I loved you before I felt you all
I was a part of you even though I did not know you well, I loved you
I loved you all.

Saturday might not have been the warmest on record but the retinue for Linlithgow gala day was hot stuff!
The well-drilled and immaculately turned out retinue was a credit to their families and their schools said gala day chairwoman Evelyn Kidd this week.
Mrs Kidd paid tribute to the community spirit which drives so many towns and villages to determinedly cling to the tradition of the gala day.
It is a tradition which is still particularly strong in West Lothian where communities large and small have a stalwart band of volunteers determined to ensure that the show must go on.
And go on its surely does in Linlithgow where 156 children took the stage in the retinue which saw Isla Calvert crowned gala queen after a spectacular procession from Linlithgow Bridge to The Peel.
''Anyone can be anything in the Linlithgow gala day,'' said Evelyn.
''It's very democractic in that respect. There is no voting or anything like that. Each child is given a number and the whole thing is done by computer.
''I think it is a much fairer system because it is completely random.''
Mrs Kidd paid particular tribute to the school teachers and parents who steward the event.
''They are happy to do so and we appreciate that very much,'' she said.
Queen Isla's mum Gail Calvert said the family was knocked out by the participation of friends and neighbours in the run up to the event.
''It was a great day and Isla had a ball. She was bit nervous but took it all in her stride on the day.
''She was absolutely shattered by the time we got home though!''
Gail added: ''We didn't have time to get nervous or worried because of other circumstances but everyone was great and helped to ensure things went well and Isla's dress was lovely.
''It was worth all the effort in the end and we were just glad that it was dry on Saturday.''

This past weekend was unforgettable! The dance crew I am part of, Elektro Academy, headed to Irvine for a hip hop competition hosted by Chapkis Dance Family called Collaboration SoCal. We definitely represented The Rise and Arizona very well considering we took home 2nd place and the Outlawz took 1st place!
Weekends where I get to do what I love are my favorite, especially when it's with some of the best people I know. Throughout this year, The Rise is really going to rise and make a mark on the dance world and I'm so excited that I get to be a part of it. The Rise represents some of the best dance crews in AZ, Elektro Academy, the Outlawz, the Elektro Botz, Elektro Elite, Elektrolyttlez, and the Elektrolytes. All of these crews are made up of some seriously talented dancers, so make sure you keep your eye out for us as we continue to compete.
One thing we really need help with is getting a new dance studio to practice in. We are currently in a room far too small to hold the amount of dancers we have and we are incapable of having more than one practice going at one time because of the lack of space. If you would like to help us out, please check out our gofundme account: www.gofundme.com/therisedance . Also, be sure to check out The Rise Clothing! You can find them on instagram and twitter @theriseco_ !
Thank you so much for reading and be sure to check out some of the looks I have added to my portfolio under 'FACES.'

With each passing year, artificial intelligence becomes a more common topic of discussion as well as a prevalent feature in sophisticated systems that are already available.
Siri and Alexa, for example, are two of the most well-known instances of AI in the modern world today. However, there are a variety of other systems that are exponentially more capable of both intuitive and analytical "thought" than these commercially popular counterparts.
IBM's Watson and Google's DeepMind are the frontrunners of such systems, and while they both boast superior capabilities, they are quite different from each other in terms of their histories and applications.
A Little Bit of Background: IBM's Watson
With the original goal of becoming the grand champion of Jeopardy! in 2011, Watson was created to be the poster boy of technology aimed at producing a better automated system of understanding standard search systems.
It boasts processing speeds of over 500 gigabytes a second and, in general, is the standard by which most other AI systems are judged.
Watson was created by tech giant IBM and gained its initial fame by facing off against two Jeopardy! superstars, Ken Jennings (with 74 winning appearances) and Brad Rutter (who earned the show's biggest prize pot at $3.25 million).
Given the impressive stats and record-setting numbers of both of these contestants, defeating them was clearly a natural benchmark for which to test IBM's new AI/analytical software machine.
The competition was admittedly close. Jennings and Rutter were able to catch up to Watson's commanding lead at some points (especially when it came to questions focused specifically on decades).
But no matter how close the knowledgeable pair came to matching its impressive score, Watson still pulled away even further, leaving the two Jeopardy! titans looking like nothing more than trivial competitors.
In the end, Watson beat out its human competitors by almost $25,000 in one game and an astonishing $53,147 total over two games. The result left runner-up Ken Jennings quoted as saying, "I, for one, welcome our new computer overlords."
What Makes Watson Different from the Rest
Watson was created specifically to show that AI systems could beat human counterparts in Jeopardy! and as such, is ingrained with a high level of natural language processing.
This foundation gives it considerable power over other AI systems in computing and analyzing both written and spoken text. The intricacies of Jeopardy! questions, then, are easily spotted and analyzed by Watson's systems.
It uses hundreds of algorithms (all calculated simultaneously and in the span of about 3 seconds) to determine the correct answer to a wide variety of questions that may be posed in common parlance – an aspect of modern language that might bring other systems to a computational standstill.
The applications for the Watson system, though, are primarily confined to question-answering, making this quality both its strength and its weakness. While it excels at knowledge-based applications, it has a hard time understanding unfamiliar systems or finding creative solutions.
It's currently in the process of being applied to a wide range of industries like healthcare, retail, and travel to provide split-second decision-making power that can boost productivity, accuracy, and more.
A Little Bit of Background: Google's DeepMind
Similar to Watson's triumph over its human rivals on Jeopardy!, Google's DeepMind first garnered the majority of its fame after it bested the Go 18-time world champion Lee Sedol in 2016.
The competition between AlphaGo, a DeepMind-created AI system built specifically for competing in the highly variable strategy board game Go, and Lee Sedol was, in fact, little competition at all. In the end, DeepMind's AlphaGo bested the world champion in a set of 5 games at 4 to 1 – a significant triumph for man and machine alike.
This game of strategy in particular has long stood as a hurdle for AI due to the level of intuition required in the game. Beyond that, with more possible positions than there are atoms in the known universe, mastering this strategic game can be an especially daunting task.
AlphaGo's triumph over Lee Sedol signified a first for artificial intelligence as many believed such systems were simply incapable of besting any human champion.
What Makes DeepMind Different from the Rest
Google's DeepMind is far different from IBM's Watson. This system, rather than being produced for a particular purpose, was created as a more open-ended approach to how "deep learning" capabilities can make use of incoming information.
Rather than being tasked with trying to figure out the correct answer to a certain question then, DeepMind is instead fed a variety of information from different sources without any particular goal in mind.
How this AI system makes use of and changes based on this information is called "deep learning."
For instance, DeepMind was given a number of vintage video game without any previous input. Over time, DeepMind was able to not only learn from its mistakes and failures while playing through the games, it even surpassed the abilities of a human expert in a number of them.
The most impressive aspect of all of this is that DeepMind learned to do so without any guidance from developers.
As such, it can be applied to numerous fields to help identify patterns that the human eye may not be able to detect. In healthcare, for example, DeepMind has been used to automatically analyze test results to spot the early signs of disease.
IBM Watson vs. Google DeepMind
While modern AI systems are becoming increasingly powerful with each passing year, the cases of IBM's Watson and Google's DeepMind show that artificial intelligence can be both created and applied to the world in different ways.
With Watson's highly structured creation and application, knowledge is the ultimate goal. DeepMind, on the other hand, seems to have the idea of independent learning at the core of its being.
But while these two conceptions of AI may be quite different, they both prove that artificial intelligence is undoubtedly on the rise.

As I mentioned here, several of the Exchange 2007 cmdlets have to be run on a 32-bit platform. The previous post described the setup on Windows XP. When I tried to replicate this on Windows 7 32-bit, there were a couple of roadblocks.
The first time I tried a mailbox export, it failed. The first part of the error message was:
The log file directory 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Logging\MigrationLogs' does not exist.
Everything in the path existed up to the MigrationLogs folder. I created this folder, and tried again. This time PowerShell crashed!!!
It turns out that a registry key did not exist. Using regedit, I created the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Exchange Migration
If you don't normally run mailbox exports as an administrator, you'll want to make sure that the account you use has full access to this key.
After that, everything worked as before.

Another hint from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn has hit the Web. Summit Entertainment on Monday released a photo from Isle of Esme, where Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) spend their honeymoon. "Happy Valentine's Day from Isle Esme!" say the caption. In January, Summit posted a photo of Bella and Edward nude from the waist up in bed. Last November, director Bill Condon released a photo of a naked arm stretched across a blanket clutching feathers. (In the Stephenie Meyer novel, Edward bites pillows instead of the neck of Bella while they're having sex on their honeymoon, which explains the feathers.)

A Stockton, Calif., hospital has suspended a 10-year employee because he included "God Bless America" in the signature line of his emails, even though he obeyed an order to removed the offending phrase.
Boots Hawks, a military veteran, returned to work Nov. 6 at Dameron Hospital to find lock combinations and his computer password had been changed, according to Pacific Justice Institute, or PJI, which is representing him.
"Rarely do we see something as shocking as supervisors placing a hard-working military veteran on leave right before Veterans' Day for saying something patriotic," said PJI President Brad Dacus.
"The hospital's actions were outrageous and illegal. We expect a swift apology and full restoration of Mr. Hawks' rights," he said.

An auditor finds herself in over her head when she accepts a dangerous assignment in Colombia in Lane's debut novel.
Nikki Garcia's job involves investigating and outing large-scale corporate fraud. An assignment in faraway Colombia seems like the perfect way for her to throw herself into her work, as she's still recovering from the death of her son and the end of her marriage. Once in Medellin, however, she realizes that misappropriation of funds at Amazonia Steel is just the tip of the iceberg. Its CEO, Manuel Del Campo, alternates between being dismissive of Nikki and threatening her if she doesn't drop the case. The few employees who do speak to her and try to get her inside information start to meet mysterious, "accidental" deaths. At the center of it all is Del Campo's dashing, handsome friend Eduardo Duarte, who sweeps Nikki off her feet even though she's not entirely sure that he's innocent of wrongdoing. She must keep her head clear and her heart strong as her investigation draws her closer to serious danger and more people around her wind up dead. Lane shows a vivid sense of place as she describes the "densely populated and disorganized" Medellin city streets and the "thick stone and brick walls" suffering from "more than three centuries of neglect" in a castle in the ancient city of Cartagena, as seen through the eyes of her heroine. A former certified public accountant herself, she also does well at conveying enough business jargon to move the story along without overloading readers. The plot is fairly predictable, although there are moments of genuine suspense and uncertainty. Nikki is a strong heroine but still thinly drawn; she's capable, beautiful, and emotionally wounded but otherwise not a fully fleshed-out character. The romance with Eduardo also feels a bit thin, with a few too many hackneyed lines such as, "You must have known I was falling in love with you. I haven't taken my eyes off you since I met you." Yet, in the end, this is an enjoyable read even if there aren't many surprises in store.
A formulaic but entertaining thriller.

Have not used Ghost for this purpose, so can't help with any scripts etc. This is therefore just a bit of general advice on setting up Backups for inexperienced users.
Main problem is when they recognise that something is wrong, in many cases they will carry on making backups after problems have already arisen, overwriting any good copies that exist. For best security you will need to set up two seperate Backups, one to do a master backup that you can fall back on, if serious problems arise, and one that they can carry out regularly themselves. Ghost is a good option for the first case, but a simple file copy may be better for the regular backups, as this is easier to restore if any problems do arise, and can also be restored after the master backup has been restored to recover current data files.
