Missing the Mark; or: Those Devilish Discounters!
I have permission from my friend Florence to publish the following exchange.
Florence, who is one of my favorite people, wrote a letter to Target protesting their pharmacy policy which allows pharmacists to refuse to dispense medications on moral grounds.
This is what they wrote back:
Dear Target Guest
In our ongoing effort to provide great service to our guests, Target consistently ensures that prescriptions for the emergency contraceptive Plan B are filled. As an Equal Opportunity Employer, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 also requires us to accommodate our team members' sincerely held religious beliefs.
In the rare event that a pharmacist's beliefs conflict with filling a guest's prescription for the emergency contraceptive Plan B, our policy requires our pharmacists to take responsibility for ensuring that the guest's prescription is filled in a timely and respectful manner, either by another Target pharmacist or a different pharmacy.
The emergency contraceptive Plan B is the only medication for which this policy applies. Under no circumstances can the pharmacist prevent the prescription from being filled, make discourteous or judgmental remarks, or discuss his or her religious beliefs with the guest.
Target abides by all state and local laws and, in the event that other laws conflict with our policy, we follow the law.
We're surprised and disappointed by Planned Parenthood's negative campaign. We've been talking with Planned Parenthood to clarify our policy and reinforce our commitment to ensuring that our guests' prescriptions for the emergency contraceptive Plan B are filled. Our policy is similar to that of many other retailers and follows the recommendations of the American Pharmacists Association. That's why it's unclear why Target is being singled out.
We're committed to meeting the needs of our female guests and will continue to deliver upon that commitment.

This is my friend's reply:
Ms. Hanson:
I guess it's my turn to be "surprised and disappointed" now. I don't understand why you're so confused about the basis for what you label as a "negative campaign."
As an attorney, I am certainly familiar with Title VII. I am also familiar with the U.S. Constitution. As you may know, contraception is a right that the U.S. Supreme Court found, thirty years ago, to be Constitutionally protected. The "morning after pill" has been available for well over 20-25 years, and is clearly encompassed within this Constitutional protection.
If one of your employees has a "sincerely held" religious belief forbidding listening to rock music (as did my best friend in high school), can a cashier now refuse to check out a customer's CD purchases? How about if someone has sincerely held religious beliefs that prohibit playing cards (as my grandparents' church forbad)? Would a customer buying UNO now be told by one of your employees to get it at Wal-Mart or move into another line? How about condoms? Do employees who religiously object to birth control, to pre-marital sex, or to homosexuality now have a right to refuse checking those out unless proof of "approved" use is provided? I suspect that your alleged concern about compliance with Title VII is highly selective.
Your response is very, very troubling, and I will not be able to patronize Target this holiday season, or beyond, until I learn that this policy is revoked. I will also immediately send your response to my friends and colleagues so that they are fully informed as well.
And part of what kills me about this whole thing is this: I'm a pharmacist. I work for Target. I object morally to the morning after pill or any prescription. I refuse to dispense it, but I'm required to help people get it. Can you say "distinction without a difference?" As I wrote to my eloquent and beautiful friend: I'm not the dopeman, but I'm the dopeman's broker - when you die of an overdose, am I not culpable?
Capitalists! Vote with your dollars! If a company does something objectionable (like our Target friends here), spend your money elsewhere.
Citizens in a Democracy! Exercise your First Amendment rights! Send Target a letter telling them to do the right thing!

When I read the email interdict
something finally clicked.
Forbid me to meet and laugh
and tease, deny as frivolous
conviviality on which the soul feeds?
The pressure's on to be
a callous cog
on the ruthless wheel
building the soulless world.
We're trained we must not be
the being bursting
with creativity. No, we must
bow to the needs of survival–
pay the bill to stream
carefully crafted scenes
the only way our soul can feed.
Today I sing my own decree,
follow my intuitive nudges
dance with my grumbling grudges
and dreams about how it should
be–the shoulds that keep me
blind and deaf. The music's
now! These groaning trees,
this patch of snow, the bit
of blue and white as the gray
grows to include a vastness
cursory glances ignore.
And I embrace poetry
and warm gazes, holding
hands and awkward hugs,
invitations unfolding
and when I can't be with you,
I'll be with me, glorious
wild woman spinning free.
Inspired by: Convivial, Frivolous, Pressure and Can't. and this soul-food photo from an earlier time, a hike in Garden of the Gods, near Manitou Springs, Colorado.

TRIAL SEPARATIONS was a workshop ran with Foundation/Extended Art & Design students at University of Sunderland in June 2018.
The workshop created a new 50 page book containing 37 objects, each printed in a unique way using risograph. Inspired by books, like Neil MacGregor's A History Of The World In 1O0 Objects and Martino Gamper's Design Is A State Of Mind, the workshop created an archive of objects – representing our foundation year group 2017-18.
The title of the workshop refers both to the end of an intense year working together, a final catalogue of sorts, and also the experimental separation print process used to recreate each object in print.
TRIAL SEPARATIONS was made by Rebecca Aitken, Andrew Barge, Kelly Dunlop, Franceska Fraser, Gemma Kelly, Adam Phillips, Hollie Sayer-Smith, Rachel Scrivens, Georgia Stoddart, Alexandra Warren.
The project was supported by The Robson Real World Experience Fund, University of Sunderland

One summer evening, while we watched a beauty of a sunset and contemplated life on the edge of a small town, we realized we had to share the spirit of this place that love. Our idea was born on the banks of Bull Creek in Spring Hill, Kansas. Why not make a damn good bourbon? A premium bourbon that tickles the taste buds with the essence of oak, small town pride, and our American roots. Roots that run deeper than those of the old trees that line Bull Creek.
We craved a Bourbon that could be used in cocktails or straight up. We wanted a bourbon that was as dynamic as our Bull Creek family, and could blow the socks off seasoned Bourbon drinkers with hardy American Oak aroma, sweet 90 Proof palate, and a keep-em-coming finish!
If you're looking for good food, great people, tasty food, and delightful handcrafted cocktails, look no further – visit us today!
Our restaurant in Spring Hill, KS is perfect for any social gathering. It is a great place to spend time unwinding with the family, catching up with old friends, or making new ones at your local bar. Our open air outdoor space is perfect for large and small groups, or just individuals looking for a little for a little bit of fresh air and relaxation.
Regardless of what drives you to stop in, our down to earth staff will have you coming back time and time again.
As long as you are looking for good food and great atmosphere, you will fit right in.
With the wide selection of great restaurants in Johnson County, we understand it can be tough deciding where to go for a bite. Call us biased, but we truly believe Bull Creek Distillery is a hidden gem that will have you feeling like you're on a mini vacay even if you're just blocks from home.

A healthy mind for a healthy life
Research shows that young people who have a cancer diagnosis have higher risks of developing an unhealthy mental well-being. Rates of depression and anxiety can vary between 16-42% with those with a cancer diagnosis.
Cancer doesn't stop when treatment ends. It has lasting impacts not just physically, but also mentally, emotionally and socially. Therefore it is essential that we remember that to have a healthy mind is just as important to having a healthy life. Our mental well-being shapes us, our decisions and how we go about the world, but sometimes events in our life can make it harder to be our best selves. Which is why CanTeen have launched an internal campaign called 'Mind Your Head' to address the importance of mental health and the support we need to live a full, healthy life.
Throughout New Zealand, our CanTeen branches are holding events to help promote and educate young people on how to mind their heads – how to take care of their mental health. The campaign has stemmed from CanTeen's advocacy group Listen Up, who have played an integral part in the recent launch of the Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Standards of Care, and will continue to bring to light issues important to young people living with cancer both internally and externally.

By Madeline McCurry-Schmidt
We were supposed to have moon colonies by 2014. We were going to be using cold fusion and robot maids. At the very least, shouldn't we have hover boards by now?
The craziest sci-fi dreams rarely come true—that is, unless you're in the field of electron microscopy.
With more stable microscopes and a new generation of cameras, researchers in electron microscopy (EM) can now peer at biological molecules at near-atomic resolution to see how proteins involved in disease really interact. This leap from low-resolution to near-atomic images has shocked even those who have spent their entire careers pushing the field forward.
"Three years ago it wasn't possible to get to this resolution," said Professor Ron Milligan, who joined The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) 28 years ago. "I never thought we'd see this."
Yet at the recent week-long "Workshop in Advanced Topics in EM Structure Determination," organized by TSRI faculty members and EM experts Bridget Carragher, Clint Potter and Milligan, nearly 60 posters of structures—many at near-atomic resolution—lined the hallways. These images showed viruses, bacteria and human cells with more detail than researchers had ever seen before.
It's a new era for EM, and researchers are using the tools they've developed over the last 30 years to answer some of the toughest questions in biomedical research.
A Giant Leap
"This level of resolution was a dream"—that's what Liz Wilson-Kubalek, senior staff scientist in Milligan's lab, thought of atomic-resolution images back in the 1980s when she first became involved in electron microscopy structure determination.
In EM, scientists illuminate samples using high-energy electrons. The electrons beam down through a vertical, tube-like microscope column, and electro-magnetic lenses focus the beam of electrons to form a high-resolution image. Today, although the overall process is the same as it was 30 years ago, the data collection processes and the quality of images are very different.
Milligan used to build his molecular models out of balsa wood, not lines of code on a computer. And just six years ago, Wilson-Kubalek was developing her images in a dark room.
In 2001, Milligan and other EM experts started the Center for Integrative Molecular Biosciences at TSRI. Professors Potter and Carragher were recruited to develop programs to automate EM image acquisition and processing techniques. This approach spread rapidly within the field and now most labs collect and process EM data using programs based on ideas developed by Carragher and Potter at TSRI.
A critical advance came in 2014, when TSRI added two new microscopes to its microscopy suite. One of the new microscopes, the FEI Titan Krios, is coupled to a new generation of digital camera, the Gatan K2 Summit. This camera is superior for EM because it detects electrons directly instead of having to convert electrons to light. The new detectors also capture images at a very high speed, essentially capturing a movie of the specimen during imaging, rather than a single frame. The frames of the movie can be computationally aligned to solve the longstanding problem of image movement. In the best cases, the result is an image containing near-atomic resolution information that can be combined with others to calculate a detailed three-dimensional map of the biological material of interest.
"Now that we can get to high resolution, we can do some really cool biology," said Milligan.
A Foundation for Fighting Disease
At TSRI, scientists are using these new capabilities to find the structures of proteins and large complexes—molecular machines—crucial to cancer, HIV and even the Ebola virus.
One of the projects in Milligan's lab focuses on the process of cell division. During cell division, chromosomes attach to microtubules that pull them part. Milligan, Wilson-Kubalek and Assistant Professor Gabriel Lander are using EM to find the structure of one of the molecular machines that helps attach the chromosomes to the microtubules. This basic research provides the foundation for understanding how cancer cells divide unchecked—information that helps cancer researchers develop new strategies and therapies.
Carragher and Potter take advantage of opportunities for collaboration with biologists at TSRI and across the country. Much of this work is carried out as part of the NIH supported National Resource for Automated Molecular Microscopy, of which they are co-directors. At TSRI, one of their collaborators is TSRI Professor Jack Johnson, who uses EM to study the structures of viruses to learn how they mature and become infectious.
Johnson's lab demonstrated the power of EM in recent imaging experiments with Nudaurelia capensis omega virus, a pathogen that infects insects. Through EM, the researchers were able to acquire detailed images of how the viral RNA is packaged and positioned for delivery. Johnson noted every animal and bacterial virus studied matures before morphing into an infectious form.
"Electron microscopy is absolutely the most wonderful method for following the maturation process," said Johnson. "This could lead to new strategies for improving human health in the long term. And Scripps Research is just about the best-equipped place in the world for this."
The ability to solve structures faster was also crucial this year when TSRI researchers used EM to study how an experimental Ebola treatment, ZMapp, interacted with the deadly virus. TSRI Professor Erica Ollmann Saphire and Assistant Professor Andrew Ward led the project, which confirmed the existence of a vulnerable spot in Ebola's outer layer. They plan to use the same techniques to test future treatments.
Other TSRI scientists are also using EM to tackle many other diseases. Ward and Ian Wilson, Hansen Professor of Structural Biology, are leading studies on HIV/AIDS and influenza virus that should ultimately help in the development of vaccines. Associate Professor Francisco Asturias is studying gene regulation and its tie to cancer and inherited developmental disorders. Assistant Professor Gabriel Lander is looking into toxic protein aggregates with implications for Huntington's, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. And Professor Nigel Unwin is investigating cell receptors and the workings of the nervous system.
"It's so exciting to see that these new developments are now making it possible to solve problems that people have been struggling with for more than a decade," said Wilson-Kubalek.

If you're a serious gym junkie you might already be familiar with the most effective products for bodybuilding—but what about the best powerlifting supplements?
It's often difficult to find specific information relating to pure powerlifting enhancers.
You agree, right?
So many articles consider that every single weight freak is obsessed with obtaining the perfect bodybuilding physique—all over definition, symmetry, and size.
But what about us guys who just wanna lift—and lift freakin' big? These articles never answer the question, what supplements do powerlifters take?
Well, finally there's a solution.
This article is going to address the imbalance and ensure that powerlifters are finally catered for.
I've put together the most awesome products to enable you to power through those important squats, bench presses, and deadlifts.
These supplements have been specifically chosen to ensure you have the raw animal-like strength to push out to the max.
Let's crack on and discover the best powerlifting supplements.
Table of Contents:
The Best Powerlifting Supplements
1. Creatine
If you were to choose just one supplement for phenomenal powerlifting results—it should be creatine.
Let me tell you why.
When you think of powerlifting, one thing immediately springs to mind—that explosion of pure strength lifting the weights.
This surge comes from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) forcing the contraction of the muscles. 1
The issue is—your body doesn't have limitless supplies of ATP. Just like the gasoline in your car, once the fuel is exhausted—everything stops. This means you can't push out that important, all-essential final rep. 2
And, for the powerlifter, that rep is priceless.
Whereas the bodybuilder knocks out 8 to 12 reps per set, the powerlifter hits generally around the 3–5 mark. This means every single additional rep gains in importance—without it, awesome strength cannot be built.
Creatine works to replenish ATP, allowing you to power through longer and reach your target rep count. 3
Here's the issue.
While the body can synthesize creatine, and it's ingested through eating food such as chicken or beef, quantities are totally insufficient for the demanding powerlifter. 4 5
There's a solution.
Obtaining creatine through supplementation loads the body with this awesome compound. More creatine = more ATP = increased endurance. 6
This impressive stamina building process makes it one of the best powerlifting supplements.
Best Creatine for Powerlifting
There are numerous creatine supplements available, but not all of them are the same. It's essential you choose one that contains creatine monohydrate.
This form of creatine has the most scientific backing, provides the greatest strength and endurance results, is safe and the most cost-effective. 7 8 9
The best creatine supplement available on the market comes from Battle Ready Fuel. Packed with 450 grams of pure creatine monohydrate, this is one formulation that will take your powerlifting to the limit.
Benefits of this powerful supplement include:
- Pure creatine monohydrate with no "filler" ingredients.
- A large, 5-gram per day dosage.
- Provides 90 days of supplementation.
- The best creatine for powerlifting.
- Suitable for both men and women.
- Frequently cited in reviews as the best creatine powder.
- Developed by SAS professionals—guys who really understand the meaning of the word endurance.
For more information visit the Battle Ready Fuel official webiste.
2. Pre Workout
Whether you're looking for a boost to training, or an extra kick during competition, a pre-workout is invaluable.
These supplements, usually taken around 30–45 minutes before your session, can provide impressive benefits for the powerlifter.
These benefits include:
- Raising determination and desire.
- Increasing mental focus.
- Rocketing raw power.
- Raising stamina.
- Alleviating muscle fatigue.
- Speeding up post-training recovery.
- Boosting energy—without crashing.
- Elevating muscle oxygen delivery.
But, here's a quick warning.
With pre-workouts, probably more than any other supplement, it's not a case of one-size-fits-all.
Even the best pre-workouts on the market may not be ideal for the powerlifter.
Many of these products are designed for sports involving high-cardio action—while extremely effective if you're a cyclist or a runner, they will only offer minimal benefits to the heavy metal freak.
Hence, to ensure you have one of the best powerlifting supplements, always choose a pre-workout that includes:
Lifting the seriously heavy iron involves more than just nuclear-like strength. To summon up the determination to hit that final rep you need some massive focus. And that's what caffeine provides. 10
In addition, caffeine is a powerful stimulant. During the most intense sessions, you can find yourself flagging—this ingredient allows you to push through that barrier.11
Finally, recent studies have shown that caffeine can improve strength in resistance-trained lifters, and muscle power. 12 13
Citrulline Malate
This amino acid has two important characteristics for the bodybuilder: fatigue busting and strength boosting.
Citrulline malate can increase the amount of nitric oxide in the blood, which in turn allows the muscles to work harder and longer—without fatigue setting in. The more sets you can achieve, the stronger you will become. 14
There's more.
Studies say that supplementing with this amino acid increases strength and anaerobic power prior to sporting competition. 15
One of the biggest enemies of the powerlifter is acidosis. This happens during intense lifting, where lactic acid build up becomes so high, excruciating pain is felt—forcing the lifter to prematurely end the set.
At the very least this is frustrating, at worst it can ruin your workout and the results you desire.
Research has shown that beta-alanine reduces lactic acid build up—allowing you to finish your set. 16
You may be wondering:
What's the best pre workout?
Right now the #1 pre-workout is PreFierce.
It's the most powerful (yet 100% safe) pre-workout right now.
It gave me amazing pumps and supercharged my energy levels.
On top of that it tastes amazing!
Some of the highlights include:
- Citrulline Malate (7,000 mg) – Super impressive dose of the #1 pump ingredient
- Beta Alanaine (3,500 mg) – Finally a properly dosed beta alanine pre-workout to boost power and strength
- Betaine Anhydrous (2,500 mg) – Added pump amplifies that also helps boost strength
- L-Theanine (250mg) & Caffeine (250mg) – 'Smart Caffeine' combination for high energy and mental focus
- VASO6 Green Tea Extract (150 mg) – Patented pump amplifier
- Coconut Water Powder Complex (300 mg) – Keeps you hydrated and boosts electrolytes
Expect to pay a premium for this pre-workout though. One scoop of this is double the size of average competitors.

3. BCAAs
Leucine, valine, and isoleucine form the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). 17
These BCAAs are as popular in bodybuilding as they are in powerlifting. However, whereas in the former they are concerned mainly with muscle gain and fat loss to form the perfect ripped physique—their use in powerlifting is more diverse.
Here's the bad news.
These three compounds cannot be manufactured by the human body, hence they have to be ingested. The problem is, for the hardcore lifter, obtaining sufficient BCAAs from food is difficult—supplementation is the answer.
The main benefits of BCAAs for the powerlifter are as follows.
Building of Muscle
Without muscle, that heavy bar is going to remain on the floor or rack. The BCAA leucine kick-starts muscle protein synthesis—the repair of microtraumas—allowing the muscles to develop both larger and stronger. 18
Your mind is focused, and you're determined to power through those three immense reps—but if your muscles say No! after the first two, your resolve is useless.
BCAAs increase your endurance. Isoleucine promotes the production of hemoglobin—the blood's oxygen carrier. The more oxygen the muscles receive, the longer they can be worked. 19
The best powerlifting supplements don't always need to be about strength and endurance.
As a powerlifter, you're working your body to the absolute max. Problem is this can take its toll—tiredness, strains and the dreaded DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) can set in, possibly affecting your return to the gym.
As mentioned above, BCAAs increase oxygen availability for the muscles, which allows them to both recover and rebuild faster.
Furthermore, research from 2018 has shown that BCAA supplementation taken pre-workout can alleviate the onset of DOMS. 20 21
Three key benefits of BCAAs
- Helping to retain muscle—energy is utilized from glucose instead of muscle mass.
- Supporting the immune system—no missed gym sessions.22
- Elevating human growth hormone (HGH) levels. 23
What's the best BCAA supplement?
Find out in our article on the Top 7 BCAA brands that actually work.
4. NO2 Boosters
Nitric oxide (NO) has one main function—vasodilation. That is, this gas acts to open up the circulatory system, allowing an easy pathway for the blood.
As the name suggests, nitric oxide boosters are designed to elevate the amount of available nitric oxide within the body. 24
Let me be clear.
These supplements themselves do not include any nitric oxide. Instead, they create the perfect conditions for production—that is, they stimulate the body into creating more.
Typically, these supplements include the amino acids l-arginine and l-citrulline—proven nitric oxide boosters. 25 26
So, why are they one of the best powerlifting supplements?
Opening up the blood vessels, and therefore delivering increased oxygen throughout the body's muscles and tissues, provides immense benefits for the powerlifter.
These include:
Reducing Muscle Soreness
Recent research exposed 41 people to intense barbell-resistance exercise: lifting through to the point of fatigue. Some were given l-citrulline prior to this workout, others were provided with a placebo.
The results illustrated that those receiving citrulline, a major ingredient in most nitric oxide boosters, suffered 40 percent less muscle pain than those who took the placebo. 27
Reduces Blood Pressure
Even if you have only experienced powerlifting a few times, you can't have failed to feel the surge of blood pulsing through your veins. As a spotter, it's even more apparent—the typical ruby red face of your bro eking out that final rep.
Here's the issue.
Lifting to these extremes places stress on the cardiovascular system. Experts tell us that intense heavy-resistance exercise raises blood pressure. 28
What's more, it's suggested that those suffering from hypertension should avoid powerlifting altogether.
Get this guys:
Nitric oxide boosters can lower blood pressure—protecting you and your body. 29
Enhances Stamina and Endurance
As mentioned in the pre-workout section, citrulline and arginine in nitric oxide boosters help to deliver increased levels of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles during resistance training. Thus, increasing the output work rate and heavier lifts.
Want to know what the best NO2 booster on the market is?
Find out in our article on Nitric oxide supplements.
5. Whey Protein
If you've only heard of one supplement, chances are that it's whey protein. Probably the most popular product taken by bodybuilders, its ability to provide the foundations for muscle building is well known.
For guys looking to achieve massive muscle mass, it's essential. Sourcing the volume of protein required to make these gains is difficult through diet alone.
However, for the powerlifter, muscle mass is not always the primary aim. To lift heavy weights, you need explosive strength, and that's what whey protein can provide.
Here are the facts.
Protein supplementation increases strength in those undergoing resistance training. Equally important, protein is responsible for the function of the fast-twitch muscle fibers. 30 31
These fast-twitch fibers are responsible for the insane bursts of power required to lift the bar. Whey protein helps to strengthen and feed them—giving you more explosive power.
Furthermore, studies have shown that whey protein increases recovery time in the 24 hours post-training. 32
Best Whey Protein for Powerlifting
If you want hulk-like strength and massive power bursts—one of the best powerlifting supplements is Battle Ready Fuel Whey Protein.It's formulated with whey protein isolate—the most potent form of whey. All the lactose and fat has been removed, leaving nothing but 90 percent pure protein. 33
Packing an immense 28 grams of whey protein isolate per 30-gram serving, this supplement is made for powerlifters who demand the maximum returns from their reps.
The impressive benefits of this product include:
- Each 30-gram serving includes 4 grams of leucine—kick-starting muscle building.
- 100 percent pure whey protein isolate.
- The best protein for powerlifting.
- Low carbohydrate content
- Formulated and designed by SAS professionals.
- Includes BCAAs.
- An easily digestible low-lactose formula.
- Sourced from hormone-free dairy cows.
- Contains less than one percent fat
- One of the best supplements for strength and size gains.
- Vegetarian-friendly.

Is Creatine Good for Powerlifting?
Creatine is one of the best powerlifting supplements for the serious lifter. Its proven ability to increase endurance and stamina works equally as well in training or competition.
Do you need supplements to get stronger?
No you do not need supplements to get stronger, you will however need to train and lift weights.
Are powerlifting supplements dangerous?
Supplements such as creatine, bcaas, whey protein and NO2 boosters are very safe.
Pre workouts on the other hand can potentially be dangerous if they contain illegal ingredients or a very high dose of caffeine.
Should beginners use supplements to get stronger?
Beginners should focus on their diet and training before using any supplements.
Lifting technique, sleep, recovery, how you structure your workouts and what you eat are the most important things to increase strength.
Beginners should only use supplements if they know how to train right and diet.

There are few things more satisfying than harvesting and then smoking some good herb that you grew all by yourself. One thing that kind of sucks about growing your own weed is the energy costs. Your power bill is gonna jump about three miles high. Luckily, you can prevent this.
Stay Away From Autoflowering Strains
Autoflowering strains are convenient, especially for first time or beginner growers because they require less work and attention than feminized, aka regular plants. The issue with autoflowering strains is that they are hell on your energy use.
This is because they require 18 or more hours of light per day, depending on the size of your grow. It would be far more energy-efficient to grow feminized strains, as these only require 12 hours of light. If you can, try moving your plants outside so they can soak up some natural light during those crucial times. This will not only reduce your power bill but produce some pretty dank buds too!
Use LED Lights
LED lights are much more energy-efficient than other types of lights, so if you're looking to cut down on your energy costs, you can't go wrong! LED lights don't produce as much heat as other types of lights, for example, HID (High-Intensity Discharge) lights. They also cool down much quicker than other types of grow lights, which goes even further in reducing your energy costs. If you're looking for a more energy-efficient indoor grow, then LED grow lights are definitely the way to go!
TIP: Use this handy tool from our friends over at GreenBudGuru to calculate the cost of electricity during your grow.
Try CFL Lights During Daylight
I know I said to use LED lights, but another good option to make your grow more energy efficient is to switch your grow lights for CFL during the vegetative stage, along with natural sunlight. This will drastically reduce your energy costs, and yield you some high-quality buds to boot!
SCROG is Always a Good Method
When you're looking to make your grow more energy efficient, the best way to do this is to maximize the amount of light your plants are getting, without leaving them in the light for longer. So, how do we do this? Some of you already know the answer, but most beginners will not. Your best bet will be to use the SCROG method, which will space your plants out more, allowing light more of an opportunity to reach the lower tiers of your plants.
It's actually pretty easy to make your grow more energy efficient. As you can see you don't have to sacrifice quality of the crop for a lower energy bill!

\"Brain on a chip\" tests how chemicals affect the human brain
Scientists and engineers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have developed what they are calling a "brain-on-a-chip" device aimed at testing and predicting the effects of biological and chemical agents, disease, or pharmaceutical drugs on the brain over time without the need for human or animal subjects.The device, part of the Lab's iCHIP (in-vitro Chip-Based Human Investigational Platform) project, simulates the central nervous system by recording neural activity from multiple brain cell types deposited and grown onto microelectrode arrays. The platform, described in the journal PLOS One, could help scientists understand how brain cells connect and interact, combat brain disorders, determine how soldiers are affected by exposure to chemical and biological weapons and develop antidotes to counteract those effects.
see in the human body."
To recreate the regions of the brain, researchers divided the chip into four distinct areas — three sub-regions and an external region representing the brain's cortex. Researchers deposited primary hippocampal and cortical cells onto the electrodes, positioned based on their relative orientation in the brain, using custom-built inserts that can be removed after the cells are placed in the device to allow free communication among the different regions. The team then monitored the cells' action potential patterns — the "bursts" of electrical energy that cells emit when communicating — and observed how the cells interacted over time. The researchers also successfully performed tests with a four-cell insert, to prove more cell types could be used simultaneously.
Scientists said the platform is part of LLNL's broader vision for countering emerging and existing threats, allows them to study the networks formed among various regions of the brain, and obtain timely, human-relevant data without animal or human testing. The data would be used to better predict human response to countermeasures, viruses or pharmaceutical drugs, and could help scientists determine if certain types of neurons are more susceptible to exposure.
"This allows us to come up with a platform that we can use to test how chemical agents would affect the brain," says iCHIP principal investigator Elizabeth Wheeler. "Obviously at a high dose, we know exposure is going to be detrimental, but think about the warfighter who is exposed to a low level of chemical for a long time. Using this device in the future, we might be able to predict how that brain is going to be affected. If we understand how it's affected, then we can develop a countermeasure to protect the

As a student in the auto body repair technology plan, you are going to discover the simple components of metal finishing, frame alignment, panel replacement, major body damage, and unibody technologies for today's autos, making use of the really most recent equipment and education components. If you can uncover a very good auto repair shop that you are content with, it makes sense for you to stick with them and develop up a operating relationship with them. For instance, you could notice the auto has children's toys on the floor, and that the brakes require adjusting. This interest to detail in the course of our auto body / collision repair estimation approach ensures that we detect every thing necessary to bring your car back to its pre-accident condition. You just want to visit Collision Repair Center of Temecula We stick to the above described procedure to eliminate a dent or ding. We meet your expectations by streamlining the repair procedure, working straight with your insurance business and coordinating a rental car proper on-website. This method is excellent in that it provides incentives for the mechanic to make themselves and the shop as significantly income as they can.
Upon graduation, you are going to be ready for jobs in independent physique shops or new and used vehicle dealerships. In truth, a lot of of today's most reputable complete-service repair centers rose from no-frills style mom-and-pop body shops into the ultra-modern collision repair facilities they are today. On some panels there are beams, sound deadening pads or material, or bonded(glued) portion of the panel that will not allow for this approach to operate. The Certificate III in Automotive Body Repair Technologies prepares new employees or recognises and develops existing workers who are repairing, keeping and re-manufacturing the body of autos in the automotive market. Most employers prefer to employ automotive body and glass repairers who have completed a formal instruction plan in automotive physique or glass repair.

Right here are some clues to watch out for that indicate an auto physique shop tends to make customer satisfaction a top priority. By passing all 4 tests, one will be recognized as ASE Master Collision Repair and Refinish Technicians. If a single of your head lights are out you can simply fix them with a replacement bulb you can find at any auto parts shop for about $five-$ten bucks. If your car has been painted a different hue than its original paint colour, the auto physique technician can use an educated guess to mix your paint to match the rest of the finish closely.
Also if you decided to repair your car and getting it looking far better with a handful of repairs and enhancements as an alternative of trading it or dumping it for a new a single there are much less cars that will get smashed up and left at the dump as properly. Additional, I would never share these estimates with an insurance provider as you recommend until I select a shop. Nonetheless, you want to know specifically what you are searching for because not all department stores have staff with experience on car repair and diagnostics.

Unions to look at radical options to arrest declining membership
Under siege from a rampaging Turnbull government and an exodus of members, Australia's once mighty trade unions are secretly examining radical changes including dollar-a-week memberships in a bid to survive and then regain their industrial and political clout.
In what would be an extraordinary departure from more than a century of practice, senior union figures are urging a fundamental rethink of what union membership means which could see dues slashed to as little as a dollar-a-week, as well as half-memberships at cut rates, and even individually tailored services for an increasing disaggregated and isolated workforce in which many people "have no employer" per se.
Exclusive collective bargaining agreements where only members benefit from any hard-won pay rises and other improvements are also being examined.
The ideas are among many canvassed in a confidential draft policy paper intended for the ACTU and obtained by Fairfax Media.
The push for an internal revolution comes as unions weather renewed political pressure from the Turnbull government which may yet seek to justify an early double-dissolution election specifically on the hot-button issue of fighting union corruption, and as workers themselves lose faith with the organisations such that barely one in ten private sector employees is a now paid up member.
Union membership in the private sector now stands at a staggeringly low 11 per cent – although it is slightly higher in the public sector bumping the overall density rate to a still paltry 15 per cent.
Entitled, "The overdue case for change: a place for unions in modern Australia" the January 2016 draft paper is the work of Chris Walton and Erik Locke – both former labour movement officials.
The pair say the decline in labour market density of unions "will only steepen given the transformative influences of digital disruption and societal change".
"The very existence of an employer-employee relationship is changing. The nature of work is changing. An increasing number of Australian workers have no employer. Collective bargaining is largely inaccessible to the vast majority of workers."
The authors warn unions against sticking to the "one-trick pony" model based around workers who are gathered together in large groups such as factories and hospitals for example – the standard arrangement of the industrial age – but which is no longer relevant.
Their alternative involves leveraging the power of social media to reach individuals, create common interests, conduct on-line campaigns and raise funds through enthusiasm for "issues rather than institutions".
There would also be a "low fee and low cost model" designed to "reach large numbers of workers in currently non-union areas".
"Social media becomes the 'spider web' to connect with thousands of potential members. Fees may be $1-2 a week and bargaining is unlikely to be included in the short run. The package of services will be dependent on research into the worker's needs and alternate sources of income may be identified, such as a proportion of back pay recovered," the paper states.
Another idea is a cut-price membership arrangement which is "unlikely to include bargaining or high level industrial representation" and for which fees might be more like $300-$400 a year compared to the $600 most pay currently.
The proposal comes as the ACTU and particularly the CFMEU, brace for an increased onslaught from the government which is now armed with the findings of the Dyson Heydon Royal Commission into Trade Union Governance and Corruption.
On Sunday, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull renewed his warning to Senate cross-benchers to pass the government's Australian Building and Construction Commission bill designed to put a dedicated cop on the beat of the nation's construction sites.
"If we go to a double dissolution it will be in order to use the deadlock-breaking provision of the constitution, because the Senate has blocked important elements of legislation, most notably, the reforms to trade union governance, the Registered Organisations Bill, and in all likelihood, so it would seem, the restoration of law in the construction sector by reinstating the Australian Building and Construction Commission," he said.

LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS, USA, February 19, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Arkansas US Navy Veterans Mesothelioma Advocate says, "Our top priority is seeing to it that a Navy Veteran or person with mesothelioma in Arkansas receives the best possible financial compensation results. If you are a Navy Veteran with mesothelioma in Arkansas, their wife or adult children please call us anytime at 800-714-0303 so we can introduce you to attorney Erik Karst the founding partner of Karst von Oiste. Erik Karst and his colleagues at Karst von Oiste are responsible for over a billion dollars in mesothelioma compensation nationwide and they make house calls anywhere in Arkansas. In other words-they come to you-you don't have to go to them." www.karstvonoiste.com/
The Advocate wants to emphasize a Navy Veteran with mesothelioma typically had their primary exposure to asbestos at navy bases or shipyards in Virginia, Maine, South Carolina, Florida, California, Washington or Hawaii. A Navy Veteran mesothelioma compensation claim is different than a compensation claim-for a civilian especially if the Navy Veteran had exposure to asbestos exposure on a nuclear submarine, or an aircraft carrier's reactor as they would be happy to discuss at 800-714-0303. The reason they have endorsed the law firm of Karst von Oiste and Erik Karst is because they so much experience assisting Navy Veterans receive the best possible mesothelioma compensation results. https://Arkansas.USNavyMesothelioma.Com
The Arkansas US Navy Veterans Mesothelioma Advocate is offering the following free services for a Navy Veteran with mesothelioma in Arkansas:
* "We will assist with VA Disability payments."
* "We will assist a Navy Veteran with mesothelioma to get organized about how, where and when they were exposed to asbestos. We call this service the 'list' and it is this information that becomes the basis for a mesothelioma compensation claim as we would like to discuss at 800-714-0303." https://Arkansas.USNavyMesothelioma.Com
The Arkansas US Navy Veterans Mesothelioma Advocate services are available to individuals throughout the state of Arkansas such as Little Rock, Fort Smith, Fayetteville, Springdale, Jonesboro, or Pine Bluff. https://Arkansas.USNavyMesothelioma.Com
For the best possible mesothelioma treatment options in Arkansas the Arkansas Mesothelioma Victims Center strongly recommends the following three heath care facilities with the offer to help a diagnosed victim, or their family get to the right physicians at each hospital. Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute Little Rock, Arkansas: http://cancer.uams.edu
Individuals with mesothelioma in the state of Arkansas could have been exposed to asbestos while serving in the US Navy or working at a power plant, at an oil or gas facility, as a plumber, a boiler technician, as an auto repairman, as an electrician, insulator, at a pulp and paper mill or at a construction job site. In most cases, the exposure to asbestos caused mesothelioma at one of these types of workplaces in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, or 1980s. Mesothelioma typically takes three to five decades to develop.
The states with the highest incidence of mesothelioma include Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Maine, New Jersey, West Virginia, Florida, Wyoming, Oregon, Louisiana and Washington. However, mesothelioma and asbestos exposure lung cancer does happen in Arkansas as the Arkansas Mesothelioma Victims Center would like to explain anytime at 800-714-0303. http://Arkansas.MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.com
For a listing of various classes of US Navy ships or submarines please visit the US Navy website on this topic: https://www.navy.mil/navydata/our_ships.asp.
For more information about mesothelioma please refer to the National Institutes of Health's web site related to this rare form of cancer: https://www.cancer.gov/types/mesothelioma

A thriving economy is essential to building peace. But the impacts of rapid economic growth can drive conflict as much as build peace. The wrong kind of trade policies, or trade policies applied badly, can damage economies and divide peoples as much as support and unite them. The private sector itself can be a contentious force within society, reflecting and exacerbating discrimination, exclusion and inequality as much as addressing them, either through their own behaviour or their relationship to a structurally unjust economy.
Like all interventions in conflict affected or threatened countries, therefore, the pursuit of economic development must be informed by a sound analysis of the conflict, an understanding of the interests, agendas and perceptions of relevant actors and an appreciation of the impacts it may have, particularly on vulnerable groups. Putting peacebuilding at the centre of its range of economic development and trade policies could notably contribute to greater policy coherence for development, but also help support the kind of economic growth which can help societies and regions permanently emerge from violence and war.

Alison Neighbour
Alison is a scenographer, theatre designer, and performance maker, interested in using art to activate and empower communities and to connect people and place.
Alison is a scenographer working in theatre, dance, installation, and site specific environments. She transforms spaces and tells stories visually, aiming to use design to connect people and place, and give the audience agency, always working closely in response to site and environment. Most often her work takes place outdoors and in public spaces, and it includes a mix of devised, scripted, and self-led projects.
Alison is currently a recipient of an Arts Council England Developing Creative Practice Award, through which she is exploring Participatory Scenography- a design-led practice that aims to deepen connections with audiences and communities through socially engaged co-building of scenographic adventures. She is interested in finding ways to create democratic spaces, to empower audiences, and to develop participatory work where scenography is the lead element, and she is at the beginning of a journey to find out how creative technology might support these aims.
In 2009 Alison founded Bread & Goose, a company making site based work with communities and regular users of public spaces. Work with Bread & Goose includes Fox in the Snow (a BMX adventure through Brixton that explored culpability and decision making, with the audience riding BMX bikes and having to make choices about the story); Stations By Heart (a London 2012/Up Projects commission for St Pancras Station); Lost in the Neuron Forest (a touring theatre production that explored the experience of Alzheimer's disease); The Memory Store (a touring installation of memories); and Return (a participatory arts project with military wives in South Wales).
Her theatre design work has appeared as far afield as Singapore, and more close to home in Cardiff, London, and all around the UK.
As an independent artist Alison is currently working on several projects that are investigating the possibilities of participatory scenography to transform public spaces - a light installation created through a geo-caching adventure; a skate park opera; and a walking performance around the themes of home and starting over.
Alison trained at RADA and is represented by The Designer's Formation. She is also Associate Artist at the Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury.

Polish Club invited us to 'Come Party' and the Hobart crowd did just that.
Before we get into the detail of Polish Club playing a crazy good set, I want to paint a picture of the venue. Republic Bar in Hobart is just a regular old bar/pub with a stage setup that you might expect your friend to play their first gig on, or your local pub band to rock every Thursday night. The fact that the set started with a random guy playing the guitar on stage, as if he were a sound technician (he wasn't), and promptly getting kicked out pretty much summed up the lax nature of the venue. Now, this may sound all negative but, honestly, it was perfect.
"I got my guitar back. We're all good." Frontman David Novak's energy was on display from the get-go as his intense stare filled the soul of anyone who looked him in the eyes and his soulful yet rock-hardened vocals filled the venue. Just three songs in and he was sweaty enough to need towelling off, he was filling that small pub stage and somehow making it feel bigger. There was instant connection with the crowd as Novak told us "I can't tell you how good that makes me feel" three times, progressively louder and with more grunt, in reference to the big crowd size. Drummer John, on the other hand, took full advantage of his first time with a microphone to thank "the bloke that bought me a Jagerbomb" and to shout-out scallop pies and Salamanca. "He might as well be wearing a t-shirt that says 'I'm a fucking tourist'."
There was a great balance of fast-pace high-energy and a slower, more soulful pace, with songs like 'If It Was Me' and their new single 'Divided' showing their softer side. The latter was dedicated to "all the mums out there for Mother's Day" with the clock having ticked past midnight and it officially being Sunday. Up next was a cover – and when I say that, I mean that I saw the setlist and it literally just said "cover". Novak asked the crowd for suggestions. "Did you guys say Powderfinger? Weezer? Oh, The Strokes." They played a killer cover of 'Someday' before telling us "We had Powderfinger ready to go just FYI. You would've had the best version of 'Baby I've Got You On My Mind'." Something to note for next time.
The crowd was active all night but by far the biggest reactions came from their biggest singles, back-to-back, at the end of their set. "If you don't know this one I'm not sure why you're here." That fast and catchy opening riff of 'Beeping' had everyone dancing and an extended outro let Novak dial it up yet another notch. 'Come Party' garnered an even bigger reaction with sing alongs, clapping, and chants of "fuck yeah" both on and off the stage.
The boys from Sydney has one last surprise for us before they closed things out. "This guy's been shouting out Flume all night. You're at the wrong concert. We're Polish Club, we don't play EDM." They finished the night with their recent (and probably the best of the year so far, in my opinion) Like A Version, covering 'Never Be Like You'. Capped off a pretty flawless set.
Hometown: Sydney, NSW
Latest Album: Alright Already, released 7 April 2017
Sounds like: A tricky one with their slower stuff sounding like the slower Foo Fighters but their faster stuff more like the White Stripes
Say what? Mid-song, popular local support act Maddy Jane ran on stage, looked at John, nodded, and turned up the amp. "This song goes out to her" John said before they played 'Don't Fuck Me Over'.
Huggett out.
