Question: Insomnia from withdrawal from clozapine
|kman9 - Sun Jul 18, 2010 4:01 pm
I recently discontinued taking Clozapine for schizophrenia. I don't want you to be concerned about this because my current therapist and psychiatrist (as well as most of the others I worked with over the years) felt that I did not show the symptoms of schizophrenia which apparently I was improperly diagnosed with when I was 15. After my therapist administered the MMPI my psychiatrist decided that it was okay to come off my clozapine. The problem is, I finished college a couple months ago and moved back home and may have made a mistake by continuing the withdrawal of my own since I was away from my professional safety-net. I was at 100 mg per day and reduced to 50 mg/day for four weeks before cutting down to 25 mg for 2 weeks. About a week ago, I discontinued entirely. I then had some insomnia symptoms which I did report to the receptionist at my psychiatrists office along with an explanation of exactly how I came off my medication. She called back and my doctor prescribed trazadone for the insomnia which has helped a bit the two days I've been on it but I am still not getting quite enough sleep. Will this hopefully improve in the future? I would like to think that if my doctor was particularly concerned about the clozapine withdrawal course I took he would have said something but since I only communicated to him through the receptionist and picked up the prescription I am still a little uneasy. Did I withdraw from the medication too quickly? How long should these withdrawal symptoms last at this dosage?
I am actually more concerned that there might be other possible withdrawal symptoms that I have not yet experienced that might be more concerning. Might these symptoms take place in the future? I am not too concerned about the typical issues of "rebound psychosis" often described since I never really had these symptoms in the first place. I am more concerned about my physical well being if my body developed such a dependence to the medication over the last 11 years and don't want to end up in the ER for any number of issues.

Hello, kman9,
Congratulations on getting your diagnosis clarified! Your treatment providers seem to have provided you a high level of care. Regarding your Clozapine treatment, did you receive regular bloodwork while taking it? If not, having your doctor order a CBC (complete blood count) would be a good idea, since Clozapine can cause some problems in that area.
Your description of how you titrated your Clozapine down and then off is exactly as your doctor very likely would have recommended. We are individuals, however, and your metabolism may be such that the drug would linger somewhat longer in your system. Insomnia is more often associated with taking the medication, rather than being titrated down and then off it. Trazadone should help, but it can take 2 or 3 weeks for you to really notice its effects. It's helpful to discuss it with your doctor's office nurse, of course, but if you are still concerned after a week or so, by all means ask to speak with your doctor directly. Perhaps you can send him a message via email. Temporary sleep aids might be an option if your insomnia persists, but that would also require consultation with your doctor.
Good luck to you!

Thank you so much Faye! I feel much more secure now after hearing your advice.

Grand Theft Auto game series doesn't really need an introduction, and the new installment of the series makes all of its features even more prominent and refined. Grand Theft Auto V is an almost perfect open-world action game revolving around exciting criminal plot with car chases and gun fights.
Graphics and Sound 5/5
The visual style has made a huge step forward since the GTA IV release, becoming even more realistic. Water looks more natural, shadows are smoother, reflections are better, and almost every other part of the graphical component of the game has improved, even if only a little bit. Sometimes it's hard to believe that a world this big can have so much detail and with so few bugs and glitches.
The sound effects are also great. In-game radio with lots of nostalgic hits always was one of the best features of the series, and it remains true for GTA V as well. The game has radio stations of many different genres, so you can always find something you like, whether it's hip-hop or country music. And if you prefer silence, you are free to listen to the soft ambient soundtrack.
Gameplay 5/5
The gameplay is great, allowing you to follow a very interesting criminal plot or just roam around freely, and the open-world of the game is so detailed you won't become bored of it even after hundreds of hours in-game, and that is not to mention the online mode. As always, the game process is divided into separate missions that revolve around car theft, gun fights and committing other crimes.
Controls 5/5
Controls are very smooth and intuitive, and a PS4 controller feels very natural with the game. You can easily drive, aim and shoot with it, and after a while it becomes so comfortable you forget about the controls at all and just play the game.
Lasting Appeal 4/5
The lasting appeal of the game is rather high. While you probably won't be too eager to complete the missions of the main story line again, the gameplay itself is almost infinite, and you can literally play the game for years before it gets too repetitive. And with the online mode that time literally multiplies, because now you are able to share the experience with your friends.
Difficulty Level
The game is not too difficult, especially for players who are already familiar with the series. The missions are designed to rise in difficulty slowly, so you have plenty of time to get used to controls, character abilities, and so on. All in all, you don't have to be a hardcore gamer to play the game and have a lot of fun.
The combination of the almost perfect gameplay, modern graphics and sound effects, and intuitive controls is more than enough to make GTA V one of the best action games ever made. Even if you're not really into such action games, give it a try and you probably won't be disappointed.

NECA Alien vs. Predator 2011 Exclusive
It's a brand new year, and what better way to celebrate it than by picking up the lastest two pack of Alien vs. Predator figures from NECA?
This exclusive set is scheduled to arrive in Toys R' Us stores this month. It consists of two figures that were previously released by NECA: the movie-accurate sculpts of the creatures from the first Alien and Predator films. This set is the first time that these two NECA figures can be purchased together, three years after the release of the last big screen AvP monster mash, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem.
If you think that this two pack looks like a slimmed-down version of the deluxe two figure box set that McFarlane Toys released back in 2002, you are right. However, what this NECA set lacks in extra accessories (namely, a sculpted base consisting of glowing Alien eggs with removable facehuggers for the McFarlane figures), it more than makes up for in other areas. Both figures have more points of articulation and are more detailed than the McFarlane figures. Furthermore, this set comes with a highly-detailed Alien skull (as seen in the trophy case in Predator 2) and a likewise highly-detailed Predator skull (as seen in Predators). Click here to order your set today!

How has your challenge to embrace every moment gone so far this month? Have you been able to better appreciate some of life's little or hidden moments and to seek out meaning in your interactions and situations? We certainly hope that you have!
Often, our practical tips will encourage some action that you can take to either shift your perspective to a more optimistic one or help others to see the value of optimism. Even the theme of this month – embracing – is an action. But this month our practical tips are a bit different, because while we do believe that taking action is often the right response, sometimes the right (and the most optimistic) action you can take – is no action at all.
Think about this for a minute – when was the last time that you just did nothing?
When you sat outside a bit longer just because the breeze and sunshine felt nice, or when you curled up on your couch with hot chocolate and a fuzzy blanket and listened to the rain outside? And, most importantly, when you let your mind just live in that moment instead of buzzing from your to-do list to the text messages and e-mails you hadn't answered yet. Like so many of us, it's likely those moments are few and far between. But our team has been challenging each other lately to stop and enjoy moments like this, just for their own sake. These moments are often refreshing, relaxing – and sometimes unexpectedly wonderful, resulting in a spontaneous friendship, a new favorite place, a discovered passion.
But it's important to remember that the good moments aren't the only ones worth embracing. Having an optimistic viewpoint means being able to see moments for what they are, even – maybe especially – when what they are is sad and dark, and knowing that relief will come. Just as a flashlight does only so much good in the light of day but is invaluable in the dark, so too optimism helps us most when it's hardest to come by. Life is comprised of good and beautiful things, but also hard, ugly, and inexplicable things. And the harmony of all of these things together is what gives life meaning. So let yourself embrace the difficult emotions, instead of just boxing them up and blazing ahead. And remember that, however dark it may get, the dawn is always ahead.
Click to tweet: Life is comprised of good and beautiful things, but also hard, ugly, and inexplicable things. And the harmony of all of these things together is what gives life meaning.
So this month, our practical action tips for embracing the moment are centered around inaction:
- Meditate: Meditation can be difficult, because the goal is to be able to clear your mind of all the racing thoughts that are our constant companions. But just like most of us would need physical training to be able to run a marathon, our minds need training and conditioning as well. Some "introductory exercises" might be finding a mindless task around the house – like washing the dinner dishes by hand or weeding the garden – or coloring a picture. Once you've established a "workout routine," you'll find it takes less effort to clear your mind. And when your mind is clear of distractions, it's much easier to be present.
- Celebrate the beautiful imperfections: Often, the most poignant moments in sports are those when something went wrong and it was the reaction that made it memorable – like someone finishing a race or event despite a crippling injury. That's because imperfections are what make situations and things – and people – unique. Imperfections are the cracks that let us see below the surface to the substance of what's inside. Life is like that too – in fact life is never perfect, and it never will be. But if we let go of our desire for control and perfection and just enjoy the beauty that's already there, we'll likely be surprised by finding even more beneath the surface.
- Embrace the things that we can't fix: In those bad moments that we mentioned earlier, often our first reaction is to jump in and try to fix it. But there are times when, not only would we be unable to fix a painful situation, but we shouldn't try. Sometimes, pain needs to be felt for healing to begin, and as optimists we need to learn to recognize these moments, and remember that they have meaning and there's value to experiencing them fully – and they won't last forever.
- Give yourself time to do nothing: Take 10-15 minutes (or give yourself permission to lose track of time) to just sit in the moment, without needing to act or look at you phone or fill up the space
- Put down your camera: Whether it's a picturesque sunset or a selfie-worthy lunch with a friend, fight the urge to pull your camera out. Instead, stay focused on the moment, and allow yourself to download a memory instead of a photo.
Do you have a situation in your life right now where it's difficult for you to find the optimistic angle? Have you been able to just sit and enjoy the little moments of life lately? What are your favorite methods of inaction, so that you can be more present in one or the other? We'd love to hear about them via our e-mail at email@example.com, or on Facebook or Instagram.
With Optimism,
The Davine Team

However, it can bring trouble if you don't follow the manual correctly. You have to do the same for Wi-Fi setup as well. Print quality is excellent both in B&W and color photographs. It consumes a little bit more ink in color printouts.

In simple words, they deliver more printouts and consume comparatively less ink in return. Despite all this, it maintains the quality of printouts. It simply continues to produce printouts from the single cartridge when one of them gets exhausted. Rather than standard four cartridges, it uses only two of them, so you have to spend less on them.

Epson L360 Color Inkjet Printer:
It is a good printer delivering more number of printouts while consuming comparatively less ink. The printer and copier offer top-notch performance both in B&W and color printouts. The scanning performance is decent enough but not up to the notch. Per page printing cost is approximately ten paisa and 20 paise [B&W/color] that is pretty cheap. Most of the Windows operating systems are supported. The only flaw is that it does not have Wi-Fi connectivity.

Brother T700W Multi-Function Ink Tank Printer:
What one can praise this printer for is the awesome wireless/Wi-Fi connectivity it offers. Printing speed is comparatively faster when commands are being passed through a laptop. Monographic prints are a specialty of this device. Moreover, the scanner is also up to par. What you should notice is that the color print quality is not as good as the monochrome prints and it is not suitable for bulk printing operations.

Trees – you can never get enough of them.

Curves and Lines
A foot overbridge on one of the busy roads. I was struck by the curves on the top and the slanting railings.

Sunday Trees #326
I took this picture on a rainy day, having gone out to capture the tiny flowers near the sidewalk. The delicate petals drooped with the weight of the water droplets but I looked up to see this fruit hanging down from the tree, ready to be plucked, as the others had been, before this.
Looking at the verdant green makes me long for the rains again, the steady beat of the drops on the tin roofs of the balconies and leaves and buds sprouting everywhere.
Winter is mild here, a touch and go affair. It is getting warmer and the dried foliage around, however, means that I can see more of the lake from my windows and admire the sun shimmering bright on the water.
Big mercies.

Gifty slammed deadbeat fathers who are proud to take that spot even without doing anything for their kids, added that they deserve a miserable death.

TRACING OUR ANCESTORS #17 THE THRONE OF DAVID Chapter XII As the object of this book is to trace the ancestors of the race that forms the backbone of the people of the United States of America, it may appear superfluous at first thought to deal with the Throne of David; yet, as to many readers the very thought and thread of this book is revolutionary from hitherto held conceptions, so also will be to them the subject of the Throne of David. Besides, many readers will find that they themselves belong to the House of David. This is an age of wonders, so don't be surprised at anything that is going to be discovered or brought to light these days. These are great days, despite the Depression, and greater days are yet in store for many of us, but I am not so sure whether for all of us. In our ninth chapter, dealing with Brutus, we have already studied the foundations of the House of Judah. According to 1 Chronicles 2:3 and 4, Judah had five sons: Er, Onan, Shelah, Pharez, and Zarah; but a reading of the 38th chapter of Genesis makes it clear that Er and Onan died childless, and the 19th verse of the 26th chapter of Numbers confirms it. This chapter gives us the roster of the people of Israel who entered the land of Canaan and tells us in Vvrves 20-22 that the descendants of the other three sons of Judah numbered 76,500 people. These people constitute the tribe of Judah but not the Jews. The Jews were the remnant that came out of Babylonian captivity. It seems that our theologians have studied the Bible backwards instead of forwards; because the ancestors of the Jews were the tribe of Judah, which was one of the tribes of Israel, does not make all the Israelites Jews; yet such a naive idea is held even by the most modern of our theologians and educators, and the only authority they have for it is that their Sunday School teachers said so and their grandmothers. Many Americans are descended from Irish stock, but that would not make the people of Old Ireland five or ten centuries ago Americans, would it? It is strange that even our modern highbrows are so illogical in this respect and still hold to very primitive ideas. The firs chapter of Matthew gives us the, genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son David, who came of the line of Pharez, Hezron, Aram, Boaz, and Jesse. David was the second king of Israel, and Solomon was the last. After the separation of the kingdom of Judah from Israel in 970 B.C. the House of David ruled only over the House of Judah, while Israel had kings of divers houses. Zedekiah was the last Davidic king of Judah. His two sons were killed before his eyes; then his own eyes were put out and he was taken to Babylon as a prisoner by Nebuchadnezzar in 584 B.C., as told in the 25th chapter of 2 Kings. Was that the end of the Throne of David? Orthodox Bible students tell us that it was and that the throne was vacant and will be vacant until Christ returns again to occupy it. But the promise was: "The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be." This promise was made by the dying Jacob in the 10th verse of the 49th chapter of Genesis. Oh, how little faith even orthodox Bible students have had in the promises of the Scriptures. If Shiloh refers here to the Messiah's first coming, then that promise was only a fairy tale indeed, for nobody has held that Scepter from the time of Zedekiah until Christ. Besides, that Scepter was a literal Scepter; and Christ's Scepter has been a spiritual one, at least until today. Orthodox Bible students in their eagerness to hold up Christ have also done Him a great deal of harm when they allow their wishes to outrun the statements of Scripture concerning temporal matters. The Old Testament is first of all a historical record of the eople of Israel, and a prophetical forecast of their destiny and those who question that, whether they be modern critics or orthodox believers, if they spiritualize whatever is possible, have done untold harm to the Old Book. "Ought ye not to know that the Lord God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?"---2 Chronicles 13:5. If our orthodox friends believe that these are God's Words, then I would like to ask them how much of this promise they really do believe. The Word says: "David shall rule over Israel forever." But unfortunately it did not say "where," so the faithful could see it. Again in I Kings 9:5 Jehovah promises: "Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel forever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel." In the 89thh Psalm Jehovah establishes His Covenant with David and his house forever. "I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generenations. Selah ... I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: with whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him. The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him. But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted. I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers ... Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven. If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; if they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their inquity with stripes. Nevertheless my loving kindness will I not utterly take from him, or suffer my faithfulness to fail. My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah." As long as the sun endures, so long shall that Covenant last; and as the sun has been shining every day since David's time that Covenant must be still in force, and the House of David must still be ruling over Israel. Many of the higher critics of the Bible, from Tom Paine to Bob Ingersoll, have challenged the orthodox defenders of the Bible to show them where and how this Davidic Covenant has been fulfilled, but orthodox theology has never been able to show where, except in heaven. Yet the Covenant reads: "If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgment ... Then will I visit their transgression with the rod and their iniquity with stripes." This cannot be applied to Jesus Christ, who was perfect and who died for our transgressions; and I don't think it can apply to those who are in heaven. It can only apply to David's literal sons throughout the ages. "And the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah, saying, Thus saith the Lord; if ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season; then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers. As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me. Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the Lord bath chosen, he hath even cast them off, thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them. Thus saith the Lord; if my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to the rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them."--Jeremiah 33:19-26. What about it, earnest Bible students? If you really believe that Jehovah uttered these solemn words, then it is your sacred duty to prove to an unbelieving world of sceptics and agnostics where, when, and how, those words have been fulfilled. The answer is given in 2 Samuel 7 8-116: "Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep to be ruler over my people, over Israel: and I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth. Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime. And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the Lord telleth thee that he will make thee an house. And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever. I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men: but my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee. And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established forever." We have already seen that the 'appointed place' was in the Covenant Land - 'Brith-ain' - in the Isles of the West. And it was there, we shall find, that the throne of David was established a few years after it was thrown down in Jerusalem. "The King is dead, long live the King." "The King never dies, he only demises the throne." These slogans are as old as history and even older; they go back to Adam and his dynasty, which ruled for nine hundred and thirty years (Genesis 5:5), or thirty-one Golden Cycles of thirty Solar years each. At the end of each Cycle the dynasty was renewed at the shrine of the Deity. These cycles of Renewal Mr.Davidson has explained and demonstrated in Pharagraphs 35 and 38 of his book, "The Great Pyramid," and also has shown their application in Egyptian history in his work, "Early Egypt and Babylonia." These 30 year cycles also form the basis of the 2520-year cycles of Prophecy, as 84 times 30 equals 2520, and are fully explained in my "Seven Times of Prophecy." The first Egyptian Dynasties, whose kings were Aryans, instituted a series of Renewal or Sed Festivals that had their origin in 622 A.K. (3378 B.C.), which was the year of Enoch's birth. (That is not so but here is not the time to go into Bible chronology - Keith Hunt). To the Egyptians their kings were the heaven born sons of God, who could never die, for they considered that the king sat on the throne of God until the Messiah should come. Rameses II, who was the Pharaoh of the Oppression and who knew perfectly well that the Israelites in his land were the carriers of the Messianic promises, declared that the Egyptians were the Messianic carriers and that the Messsiah had come in the shape of Osiris. In Chapter VI we have traced the Messianic promises back to the early Aryans by means of their crosses. The legend of the Phoenix is the story of the translation of Enoch. On Egyptian temples the Phoenix is portrayed as an oval (rising) sun with long, outstretched wings. Prof. Waddell in his book, "Phoenician Origins," Page 248, shows a Hittite Sumerian seal picturing a Phoenix with a Cross in the Sun. St. Clements of Alexandria tells us that the Phoenix is the symbol of the coming Resurrection and of the Messiah (Refer to Phoenix on title page); and in the language of Malachi 4:2 we read of the returning Messiah as "the Sun of Righteousness with healing in His wings." All the kingdoms of the ancient world held their kings to be the incarnation of the Deity. Concering this ancient belief and its meaning Prof.S.H.Buchanan in his "The World and the Book" writes on Pages 364-65: "Kingly priests, after the order of Melchizedek, standing in a line that hold the hope of a Divine incarnation have held universal sway over the human races. Montezuma and Mikado, the Sun-God of the mound-builders, and the Pharaohs; the royal lines of Peru and Central America, Brahma and Chisnu of India, as well as its Buddha, are all the outcome of the faith that looked for the Divine One. Men universally have made of this Divine One just what Christ's disciples wished to make of Him. The conquests of Mexico and Peru by the Spanish were made by the assassination of the royal families holding this hope. This done, the hope of reconstruction departed. The chief difference between the mound-builders and other Indians was the result of the destruction of their royal lines. Whenever this was done they became nomadic and hunters, and fell back upon an altarless, intangible worship of the sun as the Great Spirit, and faded away ... Fully fourfifths of the flags and coins of the nations of the world show traces of origin from the patriarchal cherubim." If, then, all the ancients, whose kings were mostly Aryans, believed their rulers to be the Vicars of the Messiah until His return, is it not only natural that a son of David should sit upon the Throne of Jehovah, as David and Solomon did, until "He come whose right it is." According to the promises quoted, the Throne would never be left vacant, for, according to Luke 1:32, "the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of his father David." God has promised that the Throne shall be there when He comes, so it must be somewhere. The faith of faithful Bible students does not seem to be strong enough to believe that David's Throne must be somewhere else, after it was overturned in Jerusalem in 584 B.C. and they also appear to have overlooked the prophecy in Ezekiel 21:25-27, which prophesied that the Throne would be overturned: "And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day us come, when iniquity shall have an end, Thus saith the Lord God; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high. I will overturn, overturn, overturn it: and it shall be no more until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him." Jeremiah the prophet had warned Zedekiah, his own relative, of the coming judgment (refer to Chapters 36-39 of Jeremiah), but his warnings were not heeded. To get rid of such a pessimist the prophet was thrown into a filthy pit; and he was only set free by the command of Nebuchadnezzar after Zedekiah's capture. The captain of the guard even invited him to come with them to Babylon, but Jeremiah's mission lay in another direction, to replant the seed of David in another land. Although Zedekiah's sons were slain the diadem and the scepter were overturned into the female line, Zedekiah's daughters, and these Jeremiah took to Tahpanhes in Egypt, accompanied by Baruch the scribe, as told in the 34rd chapter of Jeremiah. Let us now turn to the riddle that the prophet Ezekiel presents in his seventeenth chapter. Thus saith the Lord God; A great eagle with great wings, long winged, full of feathers, which had divers colors, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar: he cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a land of traffick; he set it in a city of merchants. He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow tree. And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs." The word eagle is, no doubt, used to represent a means of transportation, for "it came" and "took" and "carried" something into another land. That something was "his young twigs" (young members) of the "highest branch of the cedar of Lebanon" (symbols of the royalty of Palestine). Also the "seed of the land" (the people of Israel) was placed in another land "by the great waters" (not the Mediterranean), "was planted in a fruitful field," "set it as a willow tree." No other tree will take root as easily and quickly as a willow. It increased and became a vine, this vine of "low stature," and turned its branches "toward him." This "him" must necessarily be above the branches, i. e., be acknowledged as a ruler; but the inference is that this ruler is also not very high, i.e., low, because the vine is of low stature. This personage referred to as "him" is the low one to whom the diadem was to be turned over. Previously, we have related the wanderings of many of the people of Israel to Ireland "by the great waters." Quoting the seventh and eighth verses we continue the riddle: "There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers; and, behold, this vine did bend her roots toward him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation. It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine." "Another great eagle" means a different means of transportation than the one before used. And this vine bent "her" roots toward "him," that is, a female twig joining a male twig, by the furrows of her plan tation. This last phrase helps us greatly to identify the place by the "great waters," where the replanting was to take place - in Ulster, Ireland; for in olden time, Ulster is spoken of as the "plantation of Ulster." "I the Lord have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the Lord have spoken and have done it." - Ezekiel 17: 24. For further elucidation of this subject the reader is referred to the J.H.Allen's book "Judah's Septer and Joseph's Birthright, and J.D.Massey's interesting work, "Tamar Tephi." As Scripture tells us that Jeremiah took the king's daughters into Egypt and we loose sight them there; by analogy we apply Ezekiel's riddle of the tender twig to the transplanting of the royal line into Ulster, and, therefore, let us take up the thread from there, and follow it. Irish historians are unanimous that about 580 B.C. there arrived in Ulster a notable man, a patriarch or saint, accompanied by an Eastern princess, and a lesser person by the name of Simon Brach, or Barech. This party brought with them several remarkable things about which Ireland's songs and legends cluster; those things were a harp (David's harp), and a wonderful stone - the Stone of Destiny - the Lia Phail. According to many traditions, Jeremiah took the princesses to Spain, where one of them married a prince of Zaragossa. With the other princess he arrived in Ulster some time later. Irish tradition tells us that Jeremiah married the princess Tamar Tephi to Eochaidh, the Heremon, or head king of Ireland, after the latter had embraced the worship of the true Jehovah. Jeremiah became the chief figure in Irish history, life and religion. He became the patriarch of Ireland, and is the original "St.Patrick." The latter was, as is well known, not an Irishman at all, but an early missionary to Ireland, who was interpolated by the Roman Church to take the place of the original saint - patriarch of Ireland, for reasons of their own. In Simon Barech who accompanied them we recognize Baruch the scribe, of Jeremiah 36. For twenty-five centuries Irish songs and ballads have lauded the princess who came with Jeremiah, Tamar Tephi, meaning "Tamar the princess." She is also spoken of as Tea Tephi. Irish historians call her the king's daughter or the daughter of Pharaoh (Pharaoh meaning royal house). Tamar, we will recall, was also the name of her ancestor, the mother of Zarah and Pharez. Her name and her story, as well as that of the Patriarch of Ireland, are so interwoven with Irish folklore, traditions, and history that it is difficult for critical highbrows to eradicate it. The Hebrew-Phoenician words connected with Tamar Tephi, Jeremiah, and Tara alone provide a powerful evidence of their Hebrew origin. Jeremiah is known in Irish tradition as the 0llam Fodhla or Fola. Ollam denotes in Hebrew the possession of "hidden knowledge." Fola in Hebrew is "wonderful" or in Celtic "revealer," the two together describing a Hebrew prophet. Jeremiah, the Ollam Fola, demanded from the Heremon, the king, a renunciation of the Bel and serpent worship practiced in Ireland and an acceptance of the Mosaic law and the worship of Jehovah before he gave his charge, the princess Tamar, to the king for a wife. From this eradication of the serpent worship appears to have grown the legend that the Patriarch, St.Patrick, drove the snakes out of Ireland. At Cathair Crofin, the royal residence, Jeremiah established a school or college, known in Irish history as the Mur-Ollamain or "school of wisdom," and the name of Cathair Crofin was changed to Tara, which word is derived from the Hebrew-Phoenician Torah, meaning "the Law." In the succeeding centuries Tara became a famous seat of learning, not only for Ireland but also for western Europe. It is of this center that Thomas Moore wrote: "The harp that once through Tara's halls The soul of music shed, Now hangs as mute on Tara's walls As if that soul were fled. So sleep the pride of former days, So glory's thrill is o'er, And hearts that once beat high for praise Now feel that pulse no more!" For over two thousand years the only national emblem that Ireland had was the harp of Tara with its angel guardian. That emblem was seen floating from her castles and was stamped upon her shields and coins, and is seen upon the stamps of the new Free State. For documentary proofs concerning the role that Tamar or Tea Tephi and Jeremiah played in Irish lore, the reader is referred to the Milner's excellent work, "The Royal House of Britain," which also contains an exhaustive Chronological Chart of the Royal house of Judah Zarah and Judah Pharez, tracing the descent of many noble houses from that line. The princess Tephi is said to be buried in a burial mound, the Great Mergesh, on the Hill of Tara. (See Plate XXIII.) Several attempts have been made by archeologists to enter that mound, but every attempt has been frustrated by the neighboring Irish peasantry with guns and pitchforks. That mound is sacred to the Irish people, but some day soon it will be opened, and speculation is rife as to what it will contain. In the historic Four Courts of Dublin hangs, in companionship with Moses, a medallion portrait of the great Irish legislator, identified by the F.R.A.Glover with Jeremiah (Shown on Plate XXIV). Jeremiah himself is said to be buried near the ruins of Devenish Abbey on the Isle of Devenish in Lower Lough Erne, near Inniskillen, County Fermanagh. Tamar Tephi's marriage to Eochaidh, the head king of Ireland, accomplished the transplanting of the Royal line of Judah, Pharez, David from him that is high of Ezekiel's riddle to him that is low; for Eochaidh himself was of the line of Judah Zarah as a descendant of the Milesian prince Gallam, who, at the head of the Gadelos, overcame the Danaans about 700 B.C. Prof. Totten of Yale in his "Irish Genealogies" traces Gallam's descent to Calcol, brother of Darda and son of Zarah. Prof.Totten says: "The term Milesian is derived from the mediaeval title of Gallam, the conqueror of Ireland, who was called Milesius, or the Milesian, i.e., the soldier, a term derived from the Latin 'miles,' whence we derive our word 'militia.'" In Chapter X it has been explained that Gallam and Gadelos are derived from the Hebrew-Phoenician gadil, meaning "to become great," in the plural "the exalted," "fortunate ones," or "fortune seekers." Thus the Hebrew roots indicate that these people, the people of Gadelius, were the exalted ones who were low at first but who were to inherit the diadem of David after it was taken from Zedekiah. It was around the hand of Zarah, meaning "the seed," that the midwife tied the Scarlet Thread, and Prof. Totten tells us that in Milesian records of Old Ireland the sons of Gadelius or Gallam call themselves the Curaithe na Cruabh ruadh, meaning "the Knights of the Red Branch." Some of my readers who are of Scotch-Irish descent will find in Fairbairn's Crests of the Leading Families of Great Britain and Ireland several crests picturing a forearm, which stands for the "Red Hand" of Ulster and indicates that their ancestors belonged to the "Knights of the Red Branch." When Princess Tamar of the line of Judah-Pharez, "the breach," married Eochaidh the Prince of the Scarlet Thread, the high tree of Ezekiel's riddle had united with the low tree, and the two branches of Judah, Pharez and Zarah, were reunited; but we must always bear in mind that it was of the line of Pharez, "the breach," the Messiah came, to heal "the breach." "Furthermore, these Knights of the Red Branch, of whom Gallam, the conquering Milesian, was one, called themselves Craunnogs, or 'the crowned.' The true meaning of their name is 'tree tops,' for it comes from words common to all dialects: craun 'a tree,' and og 'a tuft' or 'termination.' We use the same word for a 'crown,' as they did, and the very use of it in common language would be enough to verify this identity of race were there not other reasons in their history and legends to establish it conclusively." - Totten. The memory of that Scarlet Thread is still kept alive in Britain, although unwittingly; every one of the British official papers is wrapped with a red cord. Likewise; a red thread runs through every rope in the British Navy, and we still talk about "red tape." From this union of Tamar Tephi with Eochaidh the Heremon of Ireland at Tara sprang that long line of Irish Ardaghs or overlords, who for one thousand years were crowned upon the Stone of Israel and wielded the Scepter of Judah over the whole of Ireland. The last of those Ardaghs was Murtough, who, dying without male issue, left his daughter Earca, who married Muiradhach, king of Abilene (Dublin). This was the second transfer through a female. These people of western and northern Ireland called themselves Scots, as Bede in his "Ecclesiastical History" records, and western Ireland was then called Scotland. About this time, the fifth century, the Pictish clans of Caledonia had weakened themselves by inter-tribal warfare and the west coast offered opportunity for invasion. Fergus MacEarca, son of the Princess Earca, headed an armada across the Irish Sea and landed on the Mull of Kintyre or Kintraw, which word is derived from the Hebrew Kenaz, "nest," and Tur, "rock." After much stubborn fighting he occupied the whole of Kintyre and founded the kingdom of Argyle, derived from the Hebrew Ard, "leader," and Giloh, "he that overturns." Fergus also occupied the southern Hebrides (from Heber), including the Hi or Island of Iona, on which there was already at this time a Cathedral and a congregation Here Fergus was crowned king on the Stone of Destiny in 498 A.D. During the reign of Aidan (548-604), the fourth king of Argyle, St.Columba came to the island of Iona and founded a famous school of missionaries. It was here that the Presbyterian Church of Scotland was founded. The fifteenth king of Argyle, Kenneth MacAlpin (836-854), married the heiress of the Pictish throne of Scotland and became the first king of Scotland. His descendant, the seventh, Malcolm II was murdered in Glamis Castle, leaving only his daughter Beatrix to carry on the royal line of Judah. She married Crinan the Thane of Albanach. Thus the Scepter of Judah was transferred for the third time. Seven kings of the house of Albanach ruled over Scotland. As the last one died without issue, the two daughters of David, Earl of Huntingdon, carried on the line of Judah. PLATE XXIV. Medaillion Portrait of Jeremiah in the historic Four Courts in Dublin. Margaret married Alan, Lord of Galloway, and founded the house of Baliol. Isabel married Robert Bruce, Lord of Annandale, and founded the house of Bruce. This was the fourth transference of the Scepter of Judah. (Many readers of Scotch descent can trace their genealogy to these ancient houses and through them to the royal line of David.) The fifth transfer took place when Margaret Bruce married Walter the Steward of Scotland and thus founded the house of Stewadt. When James IV of Scotland, son of Mary by Lord Darnley, became James I of England, the Scepter of Judah ruled over the United Kingdom of England, Scotland, and Wales; and all the various divisions of Israel, the Celts, the Saxons, the Angles, and the Jutes had been blended into one nation. The Stewart reign came to an end. The house of Orange ruled only for a short time, but the Scepter of Judah was transferred again, for the sixth time, when Princess Sophia, daughter of James I married Ernest of Guelph, Duke of Brunswick, who was the line of Judah/Zarah-Odin, as spoken of in the previous chapter. (See "Chronological Chart" by Milner.) The son of the two was George I of England. The Scepter remained in the house of Guelph until Queen Victoria and then passed into the house of Saxe-Coburg with Edward VII, son of Prince Albert and Queen Victoria. This was the Seventh transfer. The next and final transfer will be when King George or Prince David hands it back to "Him whose right it is," and that will be very soon. (We see here how people have hoped that the return of the Messiah Christ would be in their life time. Obviously the desire and wish of this author was not to be, and we still in 2010 wait His return - Keith Hunt). This will be the eighth transfer; eight is the number of Christ, marking a new beginning. Concerning the significance of the number eight refer to "The Sevcn Times of Prophecy," Page 81 (Again the errors of man when he tries to put "numbers" or what man thinks is lined up with the Second coming of Christ. The author of this book, I'm sure on his death bed, knew the events did not match actuality. It is the folly of men to depart from watching the signs Jesus told us to watch concerning His soon coming, and get into numbers, and chronology, and all kinds of other ideas, to try and fix the coming of the Lord. They have all ended up with egg on their face - Keith Hunt) The Scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, "until Shiloh come" was the Prophecy; and it has been fulfilled to the letter. Almost all the noble Houses of Europe have lost their scepters and they are wondering why. The British Throne is yet standing. In this connection it is interesting to recall the remark of King Edward, which he made thirty years ago at Cannes to Grand Duke Alexander of Russia, as told by the latter in his book, "The Twilight of Royalty." Pointing to the present Prince of Wales, who was then only a child, King Edward said to the Grand Duke: "There is the last king of England." (How foolish can be the mind of man. Once more the face is smushed with egg. When people take their eyes off the signs Jesus gave in Matthew 24; Mark 13; Luke 21; and put in their own ideas of the "last times" and Jesus' coming - egg splattered all over the face with be the sure result - Keith Hunt) The J.H.Allen's book " Judah's Scepter and Joseph's Birthright" gives an appendix which he traces the geneology of the British sovereigns in an unbroken line. This list was compiled some twenty years ago and ended with King Edward VII. The authors of that list were wholly oblivious to any significance of numbers; yet it reveals some numerical units that are most startling to students of Prophecy. 30 Thirty generations from Adam to Obed, father of Jesse. 31 Jesse, with whom begins the royal line. 49 Eighteen kings in Palestine. (Note the 49, 7 times 7.) 50 Tea Tephi, the 50th (the Jubilee number). 103 Fifty-three kings of Ireland from Eochaidh to Earca (makes 103, an intercallery cycle). 116 Thirteen kings of Argyleshire, from Fergus. 141 Twenty-five sovereigns of Scotland, from Kenneth 11 to Mary. 151 Ten sovereigns of England, from James I to Edward VII. 152 To the above list we now add the name of the present King George. 153 We have reached the climax of these numbers if we add to the foregoing Prince David of Wales. His number is the mysterious number, 153, the number of the elect. (Refer to "The Great Pyramid's Message to America," Page 28, 2nd Edition.) In this connection it is striking to note that the Prince of Wales has so far refused to marry. Will he be the last king of England? (Weeeelllll.....we now know the above all meant nothing as far as the signs of the times to the return of the Messiah Christ. How many times, in the last 150 years and more, have men put forth figures of this and that to advocate Jesus is coming in this decade or in this person's life. The Protestant fundamentalist prophets were busy doing it in the 1980s; writing aricles and books as to why Jesus would be back before 1990 was here. Some are still at it today, date setting, because of this set of numbers or that set of chronology. You would think they would have learned from the mistakes of others over the last 150 years, but they seem to be blinded to the past; maybe they do it because people want them to do it, so they preach what people want to hear, but chickens keep producing eggs to smash on all their faces - Keith Hunt) Probably the most treasured possession of the Court of St.James (St.Jacob's) is the Coronation Stone in Westminster Abbey. (see Plate XXV). All of Britains's princes and princesses, who have reigned in Ireland, Scotland, or England from Tephi to Queen Victoria and since, have been crowned upon that stone. This is British history and not fiction. PLATE XXV (not shown - Keith Hunt) CORONATION CHAIR AND STONE OF DESTINY, WESTMINSTER ABBEY The stone lies beneath the seat of the Coronation Chair; it is of oblong shape, about twenty-six inches in length, sixteen inches broad, and eleven inches high. It is a dull reddish sandstone; there are none others like it in Britain. Geologists tell us that it belongs to a sandstone formation near the Dead Sea. On each side of it are two iron rings throug which poles were passed to carry it. This stone has been resting in Westminster Abbey since 1298 A.D., when Edward I brought it from the Abbey of Scone. Before that it lay in the church of Iona, where Fergus the Great was crowned upon it in 498 A.D. after he had inherited the stone from his mother Earca, whose ancestors kept it in the royal hall of Tara for a thousand years. Yet its rings are worn down by years of carrying. An old Irish rune refers to that stone and was put into the following words by Sir Walter Scott: "Unless the fates are faithless grown. And prophet's voice be vain, Wher'er is found this sacred stone, The Wanderer's Race shall reign." Edward 1 called it a "precious relic." This Stone of Destiny is said to be Jacob's stone, upon which he laid his head on the plains of Luz. It is the stone of Israel - the "rock" that was carried in the wilderness .... Sometimes it is spoken of in the Old Testament as the "pillar" upon which Israel's kings were crowned. "And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him. And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon. And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Beth-el." - Genesis 35: 13-15. That rock, Bethel, the Lord's house, is in the Lord's house today, i.e., in Westminster Abbey ... When Tea Tephi brought with her that symbol into the Isles of the West, the diadem was overturned for the first time. When her descendant, the Irish Princess Earca, passed it to her son Fergus, king of Argyleshire, that symbol went to Scotland, and the diadem was turned over for the second time. And for the third time into England, when the son of Mary Queen of Scots became James the First of England. It was this third turnover that gave us the English Bible. Truly God has kept His Word. He promised David that there should never lack a man to sit upon the throne of David. He has overturned that Throne three times, as we have seen; and it is still in existence today, waiting for Shiloh to come. "And the Lord shall give unto Him the throne of His father David. And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of His Dominion there shall be no end." Shiloh means "rest giver," and Shiloh alone can give us rest and deliver us from the present chaos. "Unto Him shall the gathering of the people be," as Jacob said. Nothing but His wisdom and power can restore order out of the weltering chaos of human factions..... Then "Out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem." - Isaiah 2: 3. No amount of unbelief can hold up God's plans, and our people who have been led stray by their teachers and shepherds are earnestly advised to study God's plans for themselves, as found in His Book and now corroborated by the monuments. How much longer must our people suffer before they trun to the Bible for guidance instead of to the wisdom and beliefs of men? ....................... Note: My answer to the authors last question: Until all that is written in the prophets be fulfilled; then Jesus will come and bring in the RESTITUTION of all things. In a space-age world, we still have a somewhat strange institution (that many would like to see abandoned and torn down) in full swing, I speak of the British Royal Throne. There has never been such the like in all the history of mankind. It is a throne that STILL holds MANY nations together in a family of nations. If in doubt just watch the "Commonwealth Games" when it comes around. The British throne will never DIE! It will remain to the end of this age; kings and/or queens will still take their place on this throne as long as the sun and moon endure, to the coming of the Messiah, who will rightly sit on that Throne of David in Jerusalem, for one thousand years. Yes, He will sit on that Throne of David that was promised to Him in the plan of God, thousands of years ago. While thrones of various nations fall and become obsolete, while kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall, all around the earth, ONE THRONE remains untouched by world events. It cannot just be happenstance; it cannot just be "luck" or whatever other mundane word you want to give it, that first in Ireland, then in Scotland, then finally in England, for two and a half thousand years kings/queens have been coronated while sitting on or standing by a stone block. Surely this somewhat strange fact of the British Throne is one proof that God's Word is inspired, and one proof that God DOES EXIST, and that what He has declared has come to pass, nay, is still coming to pass, and will come to pass. You live in exciting times! You are living in a time when all things that are written in the prophets, are taking shape to move this world into the very last 42 months of this age. Then as promised, Jesus Christ will return in power and glory to sit upon the Throne of David, and to rule the earth for a thousand years. Lord, may Thy Kingdom come, and may Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven! Keith Hunt

It's a phenomenal time to be a real estate agent! Despite the housing market crash and the beginning of the recession several years ago, real estate agents are finding new success as the economy has started to recover and sales have started to rise. As the housing market bounces back from the 2008 financial crisis, the National Association of Realtors found that the number of agents registered with their organization is actually 8% lower than it was when the financial crisis started.
What does this mean for brand new realtors and those who powered through the shakedown in 2008? It means newfound success for those who persevered. Since there are currently a lower number of agents navigating the world of real estate, it is the opportune time for new agents to build successful businesses. Rising sales and prices are now increasing real estate agents' average commission on sales, and the average income for real estate agents has risen a whopping thirty-eight percent since the financial crisis in 2008. For those motivated and dedicated individuals who fought through hard times, this is proof that hard work truly does pay off.
For those up-and-coming agents who are just now entering the business of realty, there are many reasons why it's a great time to be realtor, besides the fact that the timing is impeccable. While success in the real estate business does not come easy, it is a field that is unique because it provides an opportunity for driven and ambitious individuals to cultivate their own success. As a realtor, you are your own boss, and your achievements are solely based on your passion and dedication to your work. Needless to say, realty is a perfect field for individuals who are ambitious, determined, and passionate about creating success. As a real estate agent, you are responsible for building your own future, and creating the type of business that you want to create.
Being a real estate agent is different from many other fields of business because it allows immense room for personal development and growth. You must be willing to challenge yourself in order to become a more successful agent, and there are times when you must accept failure and do your best to learn from it. Not every sale will go through; not every client will be easy to work with; not every commission will be as big as you want it to be. However, if you can view each experience as a learning opportunity and dedicate yourself to improvement, there are endless opportunities to become successful in the business of real estate. The sky is truly the limit, and the opportunities for personal development are endless. If you are willing to work through the challenges, then you will truly enjoy the fruits of your labor, and get the opportunity to see more successful sales, more happy clients, and a higher salary.
Not only does real estate provide opportunities for personal growth and development, it also provides diverse business opportunities. As a realtor, you may prefer to deal with businesses and corporations, high-end vacation properties, summer rentals, fixer-upper properties, or simply family homes. There are boundless different types of properties and clients that you have the potential to work with, and the best part is, you get to choose! Whether you are passionate about working with families or revamping old properties, there are a variety of diverse business opportunities to become involved in as a real estate agent. Every day in realty is a new adventure. No two clients or properties are the same; therefore you have the freedom to navigate each new client and property how you choose.
However, perhaps the best part of being a real estate agent is that you will find a purpose and a deeper meaning in your work. Being a realtor is about so much more than making transactions and finding unique properties—it's about helping others find their happiness. It is absolutely essential for real estate agents to be passionate about people and contributing to the happiness of others. All great real estate agents build a meaningful network of relationships, not only with clients, but also with others in their field, such as contractors, insurance providers, designers, and lenders. By building these meaningful relationships, you can expand your business to new heights and also ensure that you are giving your clients the best experience possible.
Being a realtor is about providing great customer service, and great customer service comes down to expansive knowledge and genuine authenticity. If you can dedicate yourself to cultivating these qualities in your own business, then you will experience the joy of satisfying your clients in every sale. Realty is an amazing field for those who are passionate about people, building relationships, and finding their purpose in making others happy.
At the end of the day, realty isn't a job for everyone, but if you are a motivated, driven, dedicated, creative, and warm-hearted person, then you will reap the rewards of the realty business. Being a real estate agent provides endless opportunities for individuals to experience the satisfaction of not only creating success for themselves, but contributing to the contentment and well-being of those that they work with. It's a job that's flexible, diverse, adaptable, and ever changing. For those that are adventurous and ambitious enough to take on the challenge and cultivate their accomplishments, it is a truly rewarding occupation filled with purpose and passion.

As marijuana is legalized in more states, questions about its safety and the health consequences of cannabis use are becoming mainstream. A new study published in PNAS finds that use of cannabis by pregnant women can have implications for the neural development of her child and that some of the consequences continue into adulthood, So, like alcohol, another recreational drug that is legal in the US, marijuana is likely best avoided by pregnant women.
…This study isn't conclusive about effects in humans; it was done in mice, and it used a regular dose that may not reflect human use habits. But at a bare minimum, these findings suggest we should be avoiding recreational cannabis use during pregnancy. Perhaps someday soon legal marijuana will come with a "do not consume while pregnant" warning, just like alcohol does.
Source: Marijuana exposure in utero has lifelong consequences
If diesel exhaust changes the expression of our DNA, and air pollution gets into the body via the skin… Not at all surprising…
There are many reasons a pregnant woman would want to know if it is safe to consume marijuana during pregnancy that aren't just her being stupid selfish person wanting to get high and not caring about the baby. During the first trimester, marijuana can help with the often debilitating nausea. In the third trimester, it can help with the pain and discomfort especially when trying to sleep. Marijuana can also help with anxiety throughout pregnancy. We should not just dismiss the potential benefits of marijuana offhand because frat boys like to do bong rips and watch silly movies on Tuesday nights. There are legitimate medical benefits and studying if there are lasting harmful effects could provide relief to pregnant women.

U.S. President Donald Trump used "completely unacceptable" language to describe four female Democratic lawmakers, Prime Minister Theresa May's spokesman told reporters on London on Monday.
Trump was accused of being racist and divisive by many Democrats after suggesting that four female Democratic lawmakers, led by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, should return to the "broken and crime infested places from which they came."
Three of the four women Trump was apparently referencing were born in the U.S.; none is white. The comments came as U.S. authorities prepared raids to round up undocumented immigrants for deportation.
The tweets from Trump started Sunday and continued Monday morning and seemed aimed at first-term Representatives Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts. "The Squad," as the progressive quartet is known, has been engaged in an intra-party dispute with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Trump said the lawmakers "originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe" and should go back and help fix the countries and "then come back and show us how it is done."
Trump later returned to Twitter to say it was "sad to see the Democrats sticking up for people who speak so badly of our Country and who, in addition, hate Israel."
On Monday, Trump said in a tweet the "Radical Left Congresswomen" should apologize to "our Country, the people of Israel and even to the Office of the President, for the foul language they have used, and the terrible things they have said."
In a series of tweets a few hours later, he went on to quote verbatim an interview with Senator Lindsey Graham that attacked the democrat congresswomen, saying they hate Israel and call the detention camps at the U.S.-Mexico border concentration camps.
His comments come as U.S. immigration officials prepare to conduct raids in about 10 cities around the U.S. to round up individuals who've received deportation orders, and as reports continue to circulate about poor conditions for migrants in U.S. detention facilities on the U.S. border with Mexico.
In response, Pelosi called the tweets "xenophobic comments meant to divide our nation," and Democratic Representative Ben Ray Lujan of New Mexico decried "a racist tweet from a racist president."
Ocasio-Cortez sent four tweets of her own, saying Trump was "angry" because he doesn't "believe in an America" where women like those in the Squad are elected to Congress.
"You are angry because you can't conceive of an America that includes us. You rely on a frightened America for your plunder," she said.
Pressley said on Twitter "THIS is what racism looks like. WE are what democracy looks like. And we're not going anywhere." Omar said Trump was "stoking white nationalism bc you are angry that people like us are serving in Congress and fighting against your hate-filled agenda."
Tlaib was also blunt: "Want a response to a lawless & complete failure of a President?"' she tweeted. "He is the crisis. His dangerous ideology is the crisis."
Democratic presidential hopefuls also weighed in. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said that "unfortunately, there's an American tradition of telling people to go back to where they came from" and that Trump was trying to "gin up his base" by keeping Americans divided.
"You don't expect to hear it from the president of the United States," de Blasio said on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday.
Lujan, assistant Speaker and a member of the Hispanic Caucus in the House, became emotional on "Fox News Sunday" when shown Trump's tweet. "That is a racist tweet. Telling people to go back where they came from? I think that's wrong," he said.
Representative Brendan Boyle, a Pennsylvania Democrat, noted in a tweet that "I'm young, from an immigrant family, also very critical of Trump. Funny thing though, he never tells me to 'go back where I come from.' Hmm I wonder why?"
Republicans were mostly silent. Joe Walsh, a former GOP representative from Illinois who's now a commentator and often a critic of the president, said that "To say 'go back to where you came from' is gross. It's offensive, ignorant, anti-American, and racist."
Pelosi last week told the New York Times that the vocal freshmen lawmakers were just "four people" among the Democratic House majority after a party split over a $4.6 billion border funding bill.
Among the lawmakers implied in Trump's tweet, only one — Omar, 37 — was born outside the U.S. She migrated as a young girl with her Somalian family after spending four years in a refugee camp. Tlaib, 42, the first Palestinian-American woman elected to Congress, was born in Detroit.
African-American Pressley, 45, was born in Cincinnati and raised in Chicago. Ocasio-Cortez, 29, was born in New York to parents of Puerto Rican origin.
Trump's comments echo the bigoted shouts that minorities hear daily to "go back where you came from," said Nihad Awad, national executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
"If Trump shouted the same thing at a Muslim woman wearing hijab in a Walmart, he might be arrested," Awad said in a statement.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, defeated by Trump in 2016, also responded to Trump's tweet: "They're from America, and you're right about one thing: Currently their government is a complete and utter catastrophe."

Hi everyone:
I didn't update my life status for a long time. I hate to publicly spread bad news around because life is difficult enough. I recently have the ankle surgery done which should be done about 10 years ago. It really requires courage and braveness to make this decision. Although the wound is still very painful, I am really glad that I made the right decision to do so.
Life is not just materials and pretty things. We tend to browse online more for those stuffs, because the materials can give us a temporary excitement. I see nail arts as hobbit, and doing nail arts are enjoyable pleasure times in life. It's may be difficult to believe, but doing nail arts help me to overcome many difficulties in the real life. I don't want to give nail arts to many negative connotations or the dramatic colors, it's just simply ENJOYABLE, right?
This is a just a small reflection on the life with nail arts :) As always, I will continue to share my nails arts with all of you.
Thanks for reading,

It's Columbus Day in the United States, and while some are merely enjoying the day off from work or school, others are rejecting celebrating the Christopher Columbus entirely. Why you ask? Well, as the story goes, the famous explorer is known for "discovering America", but millions of others feel that instead of any discovering going on, that he invaded it, and some pretty horrible events took place, making the day not one celebrated by all. Only 30 out of the 50 states in the nation engage in the "holiday", while some participate in "Native American Day", and other cities they celebrate "Indigenous People's Day".
Regardless of your stance on this beautiful October day, the AAA organization reported that today is a busy day for getting out of the house and on with an adventure! Some 28% of Americans will go on some form of a trip between September and November. With it being that stunning time of year when the fall colors are sprouting, it's no surprise that millions of families will be out and about making memories in the states.
Where can you go for the day? Travel experts recommend a quick road trip as most have to return to work or school the next day. Fall festivals are the biggest attraction currently happening in just about every major city nationwide. The upper parts of the country are the most popular to explore this time of year, with the New England area, and states like Washington, Oregon, and Michigan also coming in as desired places to visit in the fall.
Some other quick deals are worth a look on any major airline website according to the folks at The Street.com, as they have put together some nice facts about Columbus Day and the specials worth looking into, like the Berkshires, Boston, or even Cancun!
