We need your input! What are the opportunities and challenges of legalizing recreational cannabis for rural B.C. communities?
Submitted by harv on Thu, 14/06/2018 - 12:41pm
Understanding how rural regions of British Columbia will be impacted by legalized recreational cannabis is incredibly important particularly for the socioeconomic well being of the disenfranchised communities that have become ecologically favourable niches for producing cannabis.
I am inviting you to participate in a Thoughtexchange as part of the research project called "Transitioning to the New Rural Cannabis Economy." I am leading this research initiative that will take place in British Columbia over the next couple of years. If you wish to share your thoughts about this topic within the exchange, you are asked to review the informed consent to get started. If you are ok with the informed consent and agree to participate, you can:
1. Text "Hello" to 728-55 and enter the 9-digit participation code: 941-342-330 or
2. Use the weblink: https://my.thoughtexchange.com/#102528419
You may also wish to consult the project webpage for more detail or view the invitation video.
Please forward this invitation to your networks – we value all input!

Do you mean like completing another review spurred by what the federal government called a "growing concern" about the "sedative, stimulant, tranquilizing, or hallucinogenic properties" of such drugs and their effect on individuals and society overall? Just read the Le Dain Commission of Inquiry into the Non-Medical Use of Drugs done in the early 70s.
If they think people aren't using marijuana and other substances now, they need to open their eyes. Those who use will continue to use, and those who don't, won't.
...the best thing society can do is stop worrying about what might be and concentrate instead on what is...John

I'm way too high to take part in a quiz right now. Can i do it tomorrow?
Submitted by harv on Thu, 14/06/2018 - 7:50pm.
Hi John, Thanks for your sharing your thoughts. I agree with your sentiments. This particular study is more concentrated on the socioeconomic impact to our region, recognizing there have been prevalent pockets of cannabis production where communities are fairly reliant on the current "underground" economy. This isn't particularly unique to the Kootenays, it's happening all over rural B.C.
The theory is that many local people may be without jobs, income, and support for their families with legalization, if current participants can't transition to the legalized regime. Or maybe they will easily transition, and even more people will enter into the industry, and the Kootenays will be better known for cannabis. Is that desirable? I don't know, that's why we're asking. It would be great if you texted your thoughts into the exchange. It sounds like you have lots to share. Tracey
Submitted by harv on Thu, 14/06/2018 - 9:11pm.
BackcountryBob, yes. The exchange (it isn't really a quiz) is open until June 28th.

A new cannabis culture that promote hope and change, or just throw the public some crumbs.
Behind the scenes, the government has been regulating and monopolizing the industry while insuring that they won't interfere with the major pharmaceutical companies. How dare the government be allowed to promote the use of cannabis concentrates, capsules and topical creams to relieve pain, stress and other conditions reducing the quality of life? These cannabis products eliminate the risks of smoking or the side effects of the prescribed or on the shelf medications.
Heavy regulations will shut down the free market of cannabis while gmo seed and irradiated cannabis are reducing the plants medical benefits and the average medical and/or recreational user of cannabis. The priamry unreported reason our government is proposed legalizing recreational use of cannabis is to increase tax revenue and try and regulate the market. Without a free and fair market, the market will continue underground.
The urban population exceeds the rural population for the first time in recorded history. The socioeconomic effect of the coming new cannabis culture on rural areas will be essentially null. The effects will be most noticeable in the urban areas that are extremely dependent on others. The public that lives in urban areas will have no option but to buy government weed from government shops with little to no choice over strain options, quality and potency.
Wreck Rinse Repeat is the economic model used today that based upon fictional assets. It's disappointing how the financial cabal promotes this model as resilient, but only hands the wreck component to society to handle. Of coursed this is allowed to happen, if not promoted, by the higher level elected marionettes. A crisis is an opportunity for both good and bad, just depends on your morals and ethics. The next major crisis brewing is the underfunded pensions based upon fictitious assets, aka debt.
Only the symptoms are reported on or treated, and some wonder why there is an increase of stress, anxiety and other ailments in the household.
I thought about completing your study online. However, I don't have one of those 'smart phones', err, addictive tracking dumbing devices and there's no desire for my opinion to remain in confidentiality. John

Hi John,
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts. I urge you to please share them within the exchange using the weblink: https://my.thoughtexchange.com/#102528419. This way they can get direct feedback from other participants.
This particular exchange is prototyping Thoughtexchange's new texting app, which is why I didn't send out the weblink earlier. However, it's clear that was an oversight. Thanks again for your interest.

The conversation is getting more interesting! Participants are welcome to login and rate shared thoughts, even if they have nothing to add of their own.
Submitted by harv on Fri, 13/07/2018 - 12:50pm.
An update on this project: We have extended the deadline until July 24th at the request of some groups.
Over 175 people have participated, over 220 thoughts have been shared and nearly 3500 ratings made.
With an extended deadline, there's still time to contribute your opinions on legalization and the potential impacts to rural B.C. areas, or just rate other people's thoughts -- this is arguably just as significant as sharing thoughts as it gives us an understanding of what participants feel is most important.
There is no need to have experience within the cannabis industry nor with consuming cannabis to participate. We want to hear from all citizens (albeit from a rural perspective).
So, once again, if you are willing to share your thoughts about this topic within the exchange, please review the informed consent to get started. If you are ok with the informed consent and agree to participate, you can either:
1. Text "Hello" to 728-55 and enter the 9-digit participation code: 941-342-330 or

High Ridge Country Club is a Private, 18 hole golf course located in Lantana, Florida.
High Ridge Country Club first opened for play in 1980. The course was designed by Joe Lee.
In 2001, Kipp Schulties redesigned much of the course but kept the original Joe Lee routing. Schulties emphasized strong definition around the features, such as visual bunkering, elevated greens and tees, and many new sandy waste areas. New tees were added on nearly every hole for increased length.
The course has narrow tree-lined fairways. Most of the trees are pines and flowering Plums. The course is located in the marshlands, resulting in freshwater lakes that come into play on about half of the holes.
Par for the course is 72. From the back tees, the course plays to 6,829 yards. From the forward tees, the course measures 5,461 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 9, a par-5 that plays to 544 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 11, a par-3 that plays to 157 yards from the back tees.
Watch out for # 3, a 429-yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole at High Ridge Golf Course is # 11, the 157 yard par-3.

Chicago Cubs vs Miami Marlins MLB Opening Day 2018 Live Stream. Watch Chicago Cubs and Miami Marlins kick Major League baseball season. Cubs vs Marlins mlb TV Coverage just following bellow this link. Watch Cubs Opening Day vs. Marlins online, live stream info, TV channel, odds, starting pitchers.
Cubs vs Marlins baseball Live
The 2018 campaign will begin on Thursday, March 29. From there, the 30 teams will make the six-month trek with an eye on reaching the postseason. Of course, not every team has realistic playoff aspirations. But that's the beauty of Opening Day: Every team can pretend otherwise.
On paper, this is a lopsided affair. The Cubs are a World Series favorite while the Marlins would be doing well to avoid the worst record in baseball. Anything can happen on any given day during baseball's regular season, however. Chicago's seeming superiority extends to the mound.
The Cubs will send out Jon Lester, who has multiple Opening Day assignments and World Series rings to his name. The well-seasoned Lester had an uneven 2017, finishing with fewer than 200 innings for the first time since 2011. Still, he's a savvy pitcher who, at his best, confounds hitters with an arsenal that's heavy on fastballs, cutters, and curveballs.
Jose Urena, contrariwise, is all about his power fastball-slider combination. He started last season in the bullpen, moving to the rotation in early May. Urena managed a 3.97 ERA over the ensuing 28 starts, but notched fewer than two strikeouts per walk. He's miscast as a staff ace, and it's possible he winds up back in relief if he proves unable to consistently retire left-handed batters.

Approved Times
Rostered hours and actual worked hours may differ from time to time. Staff may end up working late to accommodate busy periods or may end up starting a shift later than expected.
As a manager of your business, you have the option of selecting how you would like to approve hours worked and send to your payroll provider as a template. If your business is keeping time-sheets, Clock In/Out will also give you an accurate summary of hours worked to compare between what you have rostered. This will help keep business costs down and stay on budget.
Approved times are the hours you approve as a manager for each staff once you are processing payroll and generating a draft timesheet. Managers will be able to see the variance of hours between Rostered Times, Clock In/Out times (generated from smartphone/tablet apps), and Approved Times. This will ensure you are keeping business costs to a minimal and ensuring you are meeting your quarterly and yearly budget.

The #1 thing I wish I learned @ 17 is What Is Love
Do you think you know what Love really is? When I was 17 I'm pretty sure I thought I knew, when in reality I truly did not.
No one ever told me or showed me what love was. My parents divorced when I was 5.
My mother hated my father and vice versa, and they weren't big enough to rise above that for
the sake of the children. My father was almost entirely absent in my life, and my mother bad-
mouthed him every chance she got. Since she worked 3 jobs to support 3 kids and a home, she
was never around much either. My older brother and sister got away with everything, and I was
told that I was a mistake and the reason for my parents' break-up. In our home, no one ever
said "I love you," no one ever hugged, no one ever really even said a kind word to each other. It
was constant tension. My mother constantly barked orders at me and groomed m to please
I was left to develop my own concept of love: working hard at your job, ordering others
around to maintain the house, and doing everything you can to try to gain the approval of
others. Naturally I entered into a marriage that mirrored the same behaviors I had grown up
with: authoritative, lacking in emotional expression, the total absence of compliments and
kindness. In other words, no real love. We had a big house, expensive vehicles and a whole
theatrical production that made us look picture-perfect on the outside. Of course, on the inside
it was empty. Eventually, I collapsed from extreme unhappiness that for far too long I didn't
even know was there.
Today, with the love and support of a small village that nurtured me back to health, I
can say that I've begun to know what love is and I'm doing my best to practice it. Webster's
dictionary definition of love includes the term, "a strong affection for another," but I believe that the definition that my dear friend Tin Foil shared with me captures it even better: Love isunconditional acceptance.
My goal is to accept everyone and everything as the imperfect people, places, and
things that they are. Most importantly, I strive to carry an unconditional acceptance of myself. I
have learned that I must truly learn to accept myself as I am before I can live a judgement-free
life with a message of "one love," which is the Rastafarian concept of living – we are all cut from
the same cloth.
Everyone has their own concepts of love. Unfortunately, some people believe that they
are showing love by showering others with gifts, and others are convinced that name-calling
and sarcasm can be done in the name of love. Behaviors like that are examples of power and
control, not love. Love is not calling someone stupid or telling them they can't do anything
right. Love does not allow anger, frustration and resentment to rule the day. That kind of love
needs to be un-learned.
Love is kindness. Love is gentle. Love finds the strengths in others.
Just for Today – Love is a skill that we can all work on. So just for today,
don't judge anyone. Can you do it?
The Combination Notebook:
(Note: The combination brings together our Beliefs, Perceptions, Expectations, Energy,
Choices, and Energy. Each lesson will refer to one or more of these concepts as they apply to
the specific lesson we are exploring.)
Choices – Choices allow you to generate positive energy around love and live a happier,
healthier life. You have the choice to spend your energy in a positive manner, creating more
positive energy and being a power of example.
Perceptions – Your perception of how others communicate love is likely misinterpreted
#Beliefs create your #expectations
#Choices allow you to generate positive energy around love and live a happier, healthier life
Your perception of how others communicate love is likely misinterpreted and also none of your business.
You have the choice to spend your #energy in a #positive manner, creating more #positive energy and being a power of example.
Let your love shine!

Hi, my name is Harvey David…Nice to meet you! I am Catherine's grandson. You are probably going to see a lot of me because I am the love of her life….I'll try to be cute. I am sitting here with my dad. He is wearing the Brant and the San Remo (he can't live without them, or me). I can't wait to have my own stack, but grandma says I am too young.
It's me again….here my "tanty" is carrying me. She can't get enough of me…She thinks I look cute…especially next to her bracelets. I think she likes me.
And that's my mom…No matter what my grandma says, she wears only the Brant in yellow gold and the Porte Bonheur…It's really hard to say no to my grandma! I love my mom.

As her monster-past starts spilling over the pot, her best-friend and neighbor, Isabella Davis, goes missing without a trace. Dan Davis, Isabella's husband, only gets an encrypted suicide note and a deadline to redeem his eight months pregnant wife.
Police label Dan as the prime suspect, so he has to evade jail to find Isabella. But he is forced to get help from an enemy.
Also, his secrets and craving for the gorgeous Lily keeps getting in his way. And his desire to get his wife alive becomes questionable.
The clock is ticking… Will he find her alive?
My thoughts: It all starts off with Dan and how much he loves his wife, Isa, and how he can never do enough for her. Oookay. Never been too fond of all that lovey-dovey stuff. When does the wife kill herself?
Eventually, we learn that the characters—Dan, Isa, the sexy neighbor Lily, the colleague at work, even the cute, little daughter, Chloe—have skeletons in their dark closets. Just because you think you know someone, doesn't mean you do.
The plot was slow and uneventful, even though it seemed to read rather quickly, like a checklist or directions to an address. Overall, it was humdrum. The writing was okay, but the characters lacked originality. I don't know, the whole thing just felt a little forced to me.
I honestly felt like I was just waiting for someone to die. Someone had to die for there to be a suicide note, right?
This story was nothing but drama over love, marriage, and infidelity—nothing special.
My rating: 2.5 stars

Case Study: Genetic/Ancestraline Line – Cause of the Effect
When this client arrived he stated that he had a money problem
I can't hang onto money when I get it, You see, I had this property left to me in a will, it was worth over a million dollars, When I received it I discussed with my wife whether to sell it or keep it, if we were to put it on the market and sell we could possibly come out with about $650,000 in our hand, but we decided to keep it, well it didn't take long and the bank was knocking on the door as it was still owed about 350,000, they moved in and auctioned the property off for that amount, we lost everything. I go to the races a lot and I'm very good at picking winners, I have won a number of good size trifectas, but something always happens when I come into money, I just can't seem to hold onto it."
I decided to see if I could help, find the cause of that effect, as it seemed there was an issue that needed to be addressed.
I then went through the normal procedure of getting permission using HOLOGRAPHIC KINETICS from all levels to work on this issue, then for permission to access back through time into hyper-space, in doing this we went back to beyond birth, I then asked if we were dealing with a past life or genetic heredity event, what came up was his spirit indicated it was genetic heredity.
I then started to track the genetic hereditary line and it came up on fathers side, then father of father tracking back to the great grandfather, using the STO points at the back of the head and neurovascular points on the forehead I asked the spirit of the client to access that dimension of time that held the potential energy and memory of the event that had been passed down through time, the next moment my fingers while holding the STO points start to heat up, I now know that the crystal with the potential energy is starting to externalise its trapped potential energy as this occurs the cellular memory starts to come through, this is what is recalled..
This is what the spirit of the great grandfather stated, through the body of the client "I'm on this property, and have to work all the time, life is a struggle and I'm meant to be poor."
What a program, as the spirit is there to obey your every command and thought, so here we have this program locked in through time. The client has a property left to him worth a million dollars. The Spirit is there to obey your every command looks at the biological computer screen, sees the program that you have chosen to take on, that belonged to the great grandfather, "Life is a struggle, and you are meant to be poor". Well, how can you be poor when you have a million dollars, and as the program that you are hanging onto is, you are meant to be poor and life is a struggle, then to give you what you want, "life is a struggle and you are meant to be poor," leaves no other choice, but to set up a new game, so you can lose all the money, and you can struggle and be poor, just what you have always wanted, otherwise you would have let go of that issue a long time ago.
I then had the spirit of the client externalise that potential energy being the cause, which had holographically been passed down through the male side of the family, into his blue print today. This then puts a stop to any other male descendants from ever reproducing that same effect. It would morphogenetically clear all the males having had that issue in their blue print, regardless of where they were, no matter how far away they were, as when the universal mind of man is in hyper-space, all things are omnipotent and omnipresent and will be cleared regardless of which relation has the issue in them or where they are.
Two months later I rang the client to see how things were going, the clients response was great, within the first week he had won a big trifecta and money had been rolling in ever since, he was quite pleased with the results as he was able to hang onto the money.

Over the last 50 years, neighbourhoods in South Chennai have emerged among the most cosmopolitan and sought after destinations to reside in, in the city of Chennai. The bustling hubs have several serene and elite residential localities tucked away amidst the pristine Theosophical society, the hallowed Kapaleeshwarar Temple, revered Kalakshetra Foundation and the tranquil waters of the Adyar River.
The popular neighborhoods for residential and commercial real estate in south Chennai include Abhiramapuram, Adyar, Besant Nagar, MRC Nagar, Guindy, Boat Club, Kotturpuram, Thiruvanmiyur, Velachery, Tambaram and more. South Chennai also currently boasts of being home to over 75% of Chennai's office space stock. Residential real estate in south Chennai is abundant and a plethora of options are available across luxury, premium and affordable categories in and around the localities.
Over the last decade, the growth in the city has slowly but surely moved towards the IT Highway of Rajiv Gandhi Salai (OMR). With a plethora of jobs and no dearth of top of the line amenities and abundance of entertainment options, it is the preferred choice of the young and multicultural population employed in the IT sector, to maintain a work and life balance. Properties in south Chennai have appreciated manifold also because of its close proximity to the best schools in the city, reputed hospitals and the finest shopping destinations. OMR is also home to a large number of top universities.
The IT corridor has led to the development of real estate in south Chennai with multiple upcoming residential areas including Medavakkam, Pallikaranai , Perungudi, Velachery, Tambaram, Sholinganallur and Pallavaram that offer a variety of flats, houses and land. In the coming years, OMR is set to become a highly developed sub city.
Another emerging hot spot for residential and commercial properties in south Chennai is Madipakkam, since its recent addition to the list of areas under Greater Chennai Corporation. Real estate in the vicinity of Medavakkam, Porur, Pallavaram, St. Thomas Mount and Nanganallur is also rapidly appreciating with the development of infrastructure and its close proximity to various malls and the IT corridor.
Properties in south Chennai near Tambaram have also emerged sought after destinations. One of the busiest highways of south the GST road runs through this region. Although tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city, there are various schools, colleges, hospitals and reputed offices in the vicinity. The presence of IT SEZs, efficient road and rail connectivity and access to both the OMR IT corridor and the Sriperumbudur and Oragadam industrial estates, seal the deal.
Further, the East Coast Road (ECR), long celebrated as the entertainment and leisure corridor of Chennai has seen a flurry of activity contributing to the real estate in south Chennai.

First Grader's Epic Answer on Test Question [PICTURE]
I think he answered this question fairly, don't you? Really, he answered the question the exact way it was asked, but we're sure it is not exactly what the teacher had in mind.
In a world where Common Core math problems seem to be the most hated, scholastic debate of all time, this kid is just doing what he's asked.
We think he nailed it.
His mom put this picture up on Reddit and captioned the picture, "This is why my kid is going places," and it was shared nearly six million times.

"The Royal Palace of Palermo (11th-12th centuries) is the main monument to represent the wealth and political and cultural power of the Norman kingdom, a model of Arab-Norman architecture. An ancient Islamic Castrum erected on pre-existing Punic origins, from 1072 it became the residence of the Norman sovereigns. Its Torre Pisana (second quarter of the 12th century) is a unique example of a fortified tower, similar to those of the Norman donjon, whose plan is similar to ifriqeni Islamic models. La Joharia (mid-12th century) includes Sala dei Venti and Sala di Ruggero. The Sala dei Venti, or of the four columns, derives its architecture from the durqa'a, the inner courtyard of the Islamic ifriqeni and Fatimid palaces. It is preserved intact and is in fact one of the best preserved examples of this architectural typology in the medieval Mediterranean. Sala di Ruggero is characterized by impressive mosaics that cover the walls and the cross vault with profane, hunting and paradisiac scenes. The mosaics of Stanza di Ruggero, together with the fragments preserved in the Pisan Tower and the mosaic panel of Sala della Fontana in Palazzo della Zisa, are rare examples of profane decorations, distinguished by the significant presence of figurative elements derived from Islamic and Sassanid culture.. A widespread genre in the Byzantine courtly world of which today there are no traces except in historical sources."

"Paid excursions to the top of the Etna start from the Rifugio Sapienza . Consider about 4h for the excursion only. You can also walk along the scenic path Sentiero Schiena dell'Asino. At the end, you can admire the Valle del Bove from a vantage point. The Monte Zoccolaro nearby provides a free hiking on a little challenging slope, but doable with decent shoes. There are not many people around, usually. "

The tech news has been rife with stories about the WPA2 hack this week, and rightly so as the more we are all aware of any potential security threats the better we are able to deal with them.
But what is this particular security issue, and perhaps more importantly, what do you need to do about it?
"Krack Attack"
Belgium security experts have broken the WPA2 Wi-Fi security protocol – the wireless security standard used by most consumer and business routers. They have reported that this means that pretty much anything transmitted over Wi-Fi including, "credit card numbers, passwords, chat messages, emails, photos" could be hacked.
Dubbed, "Key Reinstallation Attacks," or "Krack Attacks," these flaws are in the WiFi standard and not specific products. That means that just about every router, smartphone and PC out there could be impacted. Should your network be breached the hackers will make an exact copy, impersonate the MAC address, then change your WiFi channel. This new, fake network acts as a "man in the middle," so when a device attempts to connect to the original network, it can be forced to bypass it and connect to the rogue one.
"What Can I Do About This?"
Whilst these vulnerabilities have been uncovered there have been no attacks made yet, but nonetheless you can still put measures in place to help keep your own network protected.
We know that we are supposed to update our computers – as annoying as it is when you get the message "do not switch off or unplug your computer….", usually at the most inconvenient time possible, those updates are essential for maintaining the security of your computer systems. The same applies to your smart phones and tablets.
However…..updating your computer and your phone may not keep you safe from this particular hack. Why? Because the backdoor entry to your connected devices is through your router. If your router still has the generic access details it had when issued to you and if you have never thought (or known) to update it, this is where you leave yourself vulnerable.
We are pretty confident in claiming that this particular vulnerability won't be the last. In addition to updating your computers, laptops, phone and tablets, you need to update any other device that is connected to the internet AND you need to update your router.
Updates are time consuming but they are essential in our collective fight against our systems being hacked.

Acid reflux? Do you have too much or not enough stomach acid?
Having not enough stomach acid will actually cause the same side effects of having too much, so how would you really know? Here a test for you to try, when you are currently experiencing the symptoms of indigestion, heartburn, or acid reflux take 1-2 tablespoons full of fresh lemon juice, or apple cider vinegar. If this starts to alleviate the pain and the symptoms, then that means you do not have enough stomach acid. If it makes the problems worse then you have too much stomach acid.
I hardly ever get heartburn, however, the past week our house got hit with this nasty virus, and I was taken down by this nasty stomach bug and wasn't able to keep water down. After the bug was over I was starving, however, any time I wanted to eat no matter what is was that I ate it caused severe indigestion. Knowing that I just spend a couple days woofing my cookies, I thought to myself that I more than likely have very low stomach acid. So I took my fresh lemon and squeezed out all of the juice and drank it up, within minutes the pain was gone and I was able to eat food again. I continued for the rest of the day to drink luke warm strong lemon water to help build the acid back up.
9 out of 10 times people do not have enough stomach acid
I feel that acid reflux is the leading diagnoses given out by our medical field today. Almost everyone I know is getting diagnosed with some form of acid reflux and is given medication for the rest of their lives, or for many years at least. My husband, my grandparents, my aunts and uncles have all recently been given medication for acid reflux. If you are on acid reflux medication, I highly suggest you read the little pamphlet that comes with the medication. It clearly states that the medication should not be used over a 2-3 week time frame, yet our Dr's are prescribing this medication for months even years.
There is a ton of over the counter medication out there for everyone who suffers from indigestion, but there are so many other practical natural ways to help alleviate the symptoms of indigestion such as essential oils, or even just changing your diet. A lot of our health concerns can be totally reversed by proper nutrition. Our gut is our second brain, and it ifs not happy then the rest of your body is not happy either, such as causing bad indigestion.
Successful treatment is based on restoring adequate stomach acid production and eliminating bacterial overgrowth.¹
- Reduce factors that promote bacterial overgrowth and low stomach acid.
- Replace stomach acid, enzymes and nutrients that aid digestion and are necessary for health.
- Restore beneficial bacteria and a healthy mucosal lining in the gut.
There are many reasons why you should know what you are suffering from, because if you already have low stomach acid and you take an antacid it will neutralize the remaining stomach acid that you have left. This makes it very hard to properly digest your food, making the food get digested in your intestines, causing bloating, gas, constipation or diarrhoea. Every morning before I do anything I drink a warm glass of water filled with the juice from half of a freshly squeezed lemon, to help wake up my digestion system and help with my stomach acid.
If you are suffering from consistent indigestion, acid reflux, or heartburn, I would recommend doing the lemon juice test. If you find that it helps alleviate the symptoms, I suggest speaking with your Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Naturopath, or MD.

In 2015, the Federal Communications Commission stated that "initiating" a telephone call can take more than one form, including those that "take the steps necessary to physically place a telephone call" or those that are "so involved in the placing of a specific telephone call as to be deemed to have initiated it."
A federal court in West Virginia recently held that two platform providers and an autodialing software company are potentially liable under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act if they "knowingly" permitted their products to be used for unlawful purposes.
Here, the plaintiff alleged that thousands of illegal, misleading, defamatory and false recorded telephone messages were sent by individual defendants. Notably, the plaintiff named several corporate defendants, including Callcentric, Fiverr, RingCentral and Voicent, all of whom filed motions to dismiss.
First, the court agreed with Fiverr's argument that it could not be liable under the TCPA because it did not play a significant role in the telephone calls. Fiverr merely provided actors that did the voice-overs for the subject messages. It did not contribute to the content or the manner in which telephone calls were initiated or placed.
Callcentric and RingCentral, both of whom provide VoIP services and assigned telephone numbers to the individual defendants, were not as fortunate. The plaintiff alleged that both provided calling platforms, and possessed "direct knowledge" of and the right of control the unlawful conduct. The court rejected their argument that they were not liable under the TCPA because they were passive conduits that did not initiate or make the telephone calls. Consequently, the court denied their motions to dismiss.
The court also denied Voicent's motion to dismiss. Voicent provided autodialing software for delivery of the prerecorded messages. The court found that the plaintiffs allegations were sufficient to state a claim that Voicent knowingly allowed the other defendants to use the technology for an unlawful purpose. "Ultimately, whether or not Voicent may be held liable will depend upon a totality of the circumstances analysis, which is not appropriate on a motion to dismiss given the allegations in this case. Therefore, the Court denies Voicent's motion with respect to direct liability."
Calling and technology platforms providers have once again been reminded that they are not outside the zone of TCPA liability. If you are interested in learning more about this topic and how to minimize the potential for TCPA liability, consult with an experienced TCPA defense lawyer to evaluate applicable operations and services offered.

As explained by the series editor, Dr. Dietschy, these volumes are intended to disseminate new information in gastroenterology to "medical students, house officers and medical practitioners" more quickly and more intensively than can be done in either standard textbooks or medical journals. Dr. Koff in his preface has added the objective of presenting "a perspective on this data base [viral hepatitis] which will be of continued usefulness to the reader." From these stated objectives, I had anticipated that Dr. Koff, who is a distinguished clinical hepatologist, would relate his

How to Grow Dendrobium
How to grow Dendrobium anosmum in my area (League City, TX)? I am worried about winter.
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
Orchids can be tricky in that these exotic plants have very specific needs - namely heat and humidity. This is why most are grown indoors, as their chance of surviving over winter would be fairly slim, even in your area. That said, you can grow them in a container and bring indoors for overwintering. For more information on growing these indoors, this article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/orchids/indoor-orchid-care.htm

"It is what is left over when everything explainable has been explained that makes a story worth writing and reading."
Flannery O'Connor
Like Russian nesting dolls, there are ethical considerations in the art of meaningful assessment of a student's writing ability. Cleverly stuck inside the largest doll, the student, there is another doll—assessing the student's ability, which is inside yet a third doll—the teacher's ability to teach, which hides the real doll—the meaningful assessment, which . . . Enough with the dolls, let's get to the ethics.
A national debate surrounds the efficacy of standardized testing. Writing teachers debate a key element below the radar of either writing or ethics. What exactly are the ethical considerations inherent in developing a fair and meaningful assessment of a student's writing ability?
Norbert Elliot,[1] Professor Emeritus at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, has an opinion: "When we talk about ethics in writing assessment, we're talking about fairness. The key question is, 'Should we do any kind of assessment in which groups of students are demonstrably disenfranchised from the process?'"[2] His answer is no. Elliot notes that different groups of students experience markedly different results on national tests. He correctly notes the reason for markedly different results might be because the students' curriculum is not aligned with the test's contents. Or it might also be about the form, or the structure of the test itself."[3]
Right again, but is this an ethics issue or an efficacy issue? Another respected expert writing teacher, Mya Poe,[4] of Northeastern University, addresses the ethical dimension. "These tests are about people," she says. "We're making decisions about people, about students. The consideration of ethics should be the first requirement in the process. To ensure the fair development and administration of writing assessments calls for greater 'assessment literacy' from all involved. It means ensuring that teachers have a working understanding of different evaluation methods."[5]
While I agree with Professors Elliot and Poe, I have the luxury of teaching a writing course on a pass/fail basis for one college credit. My assessment is based entirely on the writing submissions by my students. If they meet the specifics of the assignment, they pass. In twelve years, I haven't failed a single student. That's my "evaluation method." No student has ever been "demonstrably disenfranchised from the process." I don't have a "standardized test." So, on all counts, I guess my assessment is ethical.

Hello, i am a student at William Angliss institute and am studying my Vcal year 12. We have decided to set up a bake sale event for the students and teachers to help raise funds for an amazing organisation like the White Ribbon Foundation. We have done research on this charity and would love the opportunity to donate the funds that we raise at the bake sale. We are also hoping to raise awareness about domestic violence and what it means, I am also hoping to use some White Ribbon Logos that we could use as promoting this fundraiser around the school for the bake sale.
Thank you very much,
