Real horror stories...
Passengers' Stories of Recent Travel
The ACLU has received over 900 complaints from travelers in the United States about the TSA's new pat-downs, providing a unique vantage point on what is taking place at airports around the nation. These complaints came from men, women and children who reported feeling humiliated and traumatized by these searches, and, in some cases, comparing their psychological impact to sexual assaults.
Recurring themes in these reports include:
• The searches are extremely invasive
• Many travelers are reporting intense feelings of violation and humiliation
• Some report being physically hurt by the searches
• Some feel their searches are punitive
• Reports of gawking by agents
• Reports of seemingly unnecessary repeated touching of intimate areas
• Many vow not to fly any more
• Any traveler may be forced to undergo one of these searches
(These quotations have been lightly edited for clarity and length. Please be aware that due to the nature of these searches, these complaints often include graphic and sometimes disturbing language.)

Washington: The Senate voted Thursday to raise the ceiling on the government debt to $12.4 trillion, a massive increase over the current limit and a political problem that President Barack Obama has promised to address next year.
[efoods]The Senate's rare Christmas Eve vote, 60-39, follows House passage last week and raises the debt ceiling by $290 billion. The vote split mainly down party lines, with Democrats voting to raise the limit and Republicans voting against doing so. There was one defection on each side, by senators whose seats will be on the ballot next year: GOP Sen. George Voinovich of Ohio and Democratic Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana.
The bill permits the Treasury Department to issue enough bonds to fund the government's operations and programs until mid-February. The Senate will vote again on the issue Jan. 20.

Antèks in the Design District has collected 25 one-of-a-kind pieces of American history -- and is putting it on sale.
Proprietor Jason Lenox found a 48 star American flag back in 2011, which helped kick off a year long quest to find more classic American pieces, including two additional original 48 star flags, needlepoint, posters, plates and more that show the evolution of the United States flag.
Lenox placed the artifacts in frames and is selling pieces of the collection from June 22 through July 4 -- and a little beyond.
A percentage of the proceeds from each sale will benefit the Wounded Warrior Project, which serves wounded military service members.

Community Gardening, Municipal Land & Friendly Competition Helps Fight Hunger
Image credit: Vicki Moore, used under Creative Commons license.
From edible landscaping in parks to feed the homeless to the sharing gardens of Oregon, there are many models for community gardening that can help provide food for those in need. In North Dakota, the State is getting behind efforts to encourage gardeners and farmers to grow food for the hungry. And it's giving over municipal land to help make it happen.Paul Adams of the BBC reports on the race to grow food for the hungry in North Dakota, noting that the State has put aside both land and resources to promote the Hunger Free North Dakota Garden Project, but it us the enthusiasm and hard work of ordinary citizens that is making it such a success:
"It's becoming kind of a challenge between two of us sets of husbands and wives," says retired office supplies store owner Bob Schauer, as he and his wife Donna water seedlings on municipal ground in downtown Bismarck, the state capital.
The Schauers donated 350lb of produce last year but are now tending three plots, each measuring 20ft by 20ft (6m by 6m), and so hope to triple their record.
Much like Transition Streets' efforts to harness peer support for clean energy, this is yet another example that the most powerful sustainability efforts are those that reach beyond individual lifestyles, and into the realm of community identity and cultural change.
And it's also a fine example of Government putting resources into play, but letting the people pick them up and run with them. Now that's worth celebrating.

Hualapai Extension
The Hualapai and Havasupai tribes speak closely related languages and
are located on ancestral lands on the edge of the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado River. The Hualapai Reservation is nearly a million acres in
size and includes diverse ecosystems from desert scrublands at 1200
feet to ponderosa pine forests at over 7,400 feet elevation. The main
village of Supai on the Havasupai Reservation lies in a major tributary
drainage to the Grand Canyon, and can be accessed only by foot, mule,
or helicopter.
The Extension Office has worked with the Hualapai Tribe to obtain
thousands of dollars of grant funding to support its Agriculture and
Natural Resources programs and to conduct special demonstration
projects. Recent activities include helping the Tribe to design and
implement plans for managing livestock records and disease emergencies.
The office is currently helping tribal livestock owners to evaluate the
potential for marketing locally-raised beef. Current projects in the
community include establishing gardens and landscaping with native
plants at the tribal Elementary School and a newly established Boys and
Girls Club.
The Peach Springs Extension Program has offered agriculture, natural
resources, and 4-H youth development programs to the two Grand Canyon
tribes since its establishment in 2002. After the Havasupai Tribe
banished State university personnel from their Reservation in 2004, the
office has worked exclusively with the Hualapai Tribe.

The Cleveland Browns drafted tight end Seth DeValve in the fourth-round of this year's NFL draft. After missing the first 10 days of training camp, the Browns announced his return and activation from the PUP list on Wednesday evening.
DeValve suffered a hamstring injury which made him sit out and recuperate. Head coach Hue Jackson talked to the media about his injury and return to the football field.
If he's healthy, he's a tremendous athlete. He has a chance, just like anybody else. I think he'll hopefully get back out here pretty soon so that we can evaluate him. We haven't seen much of him. He needs to be out there with his teammates practicing.
The rookie tight end didn't let this injury set him back from achieving his goals. He is truly excited to give it all he has this season.
So mentally, I feel very prepared and ready to get in and do everything that I'm asked to do from a mental standpoint. Right now, physically, they're still working me back into things so it'll be an ongoing process however long that takes. But I feel prepared mentally and in my ability to get done what I've got to get done.
The last couple of weeks have been a lot of time spent in the training room, a lot of time spent with the strength trainers, the athletic trainers doing whatever they say however many times a day getting what I need to get done. I've made progress each day to the point where I feel like I can get back and start doing some drills at practice, he said.
He discussed how hard it was to not be on the football field practicing and contributing to his team.
It's very hard to watch. It's very hard to watch. Unfortunately, I've been a spectator for the majority of my time here so far. It's something you have to be patient with because a hamstring injury is not something you can tough through like some injuries where you can just wrap it up and get out there. Hamstring, you'll just keep re-injuring it if you try to do that. I've had to be patient. It's been very difficult, very frustrating at times watching instead of playing, but my time will come.
Veteran tight end Gary Barnidge took the young rookie under his wing and is quite impressed with him so far.
It's an extremely fortunate opportunity that I have, that we all have in that room, the younger tight ends, to learn from somebody that's done it a long time and somebody that's done it very well. He is like a coach. He's very helpful for all of us. He asks really good questions in meetings. He's processing the game on a higher level and sees things that I need to learn to see out of defenses. We've learned a lot from him.
When you have rookie players who have the heart and passion for football and want to succeed, they honestly will. DeValve seems like a great athlete and an even better person. Hopefully he does solid in the preseason and gets some playing time this year.

Hey We Do Know How To Score Runs
The Yankees-Red Sox series is pretty much the only thing on my mind among everything else baseball. Obviously it is because I am a Yankee fan and we are in the middle of a season series with our rivals. It's great. I'm sure every other Yankee fan blogger out there is talking about the same things I am. It's just how things go. If your team is in a rivalry series, you are going to write about it. So here we go.
Chien Ming Wang did exactly what I assumed he would do when he took the bump last night. He sucked. He was the second Yankee pitcher in a row to be chased before the third inning. Tuesday night, it was AJ, and last night, Wang was chased as well. In Wang's 2.2 innings pitched, he gave up four runs on six hits and three walks. He gave up one homer to Mike Lowell. Bottom line… he was aweful.
On the other side of things, the Red Sox sent Tim Wakefield to the mound, who has been having a very good season. At 7-3 before the game, he showed how good of a season he has been having. He went 6 innings only giving up 8 hits, three runs, and had two strikeouts. I wish those were the kind of stats we could have from the Yanks pitching. But yeah right. Wang was terrible.
As far as the offense goes, they were fine. They did score last night which made me happy. They only scored five runs so they didn't do that great. They are definitely capable of more than that. The pitching is what ruined it for us. They were unable to hold the Red Sox offense to a few runs or fewer. They gave up too many early runs and we were out of it by the time we made our comeback. We only lost by one run but hey… you can't always expect a comeback from the offense. It's a two way road. The offense does their job and the pitching staff does their job. That's how it rolls.
We had our big offensive performers last night as did the Red Sox. For us it was obviously Mark Teixeira… when has it not in the recent past. He went 4-5 with a homer and two runs. Johnny Damon hit a homer as his only hit on the night, but at least that's something. Jorge Posada and Hideki Matsui also had good nights at the plate. Matsui went 2-3 with a run scored and Posada went 2-5 with run scored and an RBI. Robby Cano also pitched in with a RBI despite going hitless for the game.
The pitching… well they were so bad I'm not going to talk about them any more. Except Phil Coke and Alfredo Aceves. Kudos to you guys. But Wang and Hughes. You guys sucked. A thumbs down from Simon for you guys.
So I'm really disappointed about how we haven't been able to get a win against the Red Sox yet this season. If we could get one win, that would STELLAR. So far, it hasn't looked good so I am not expecting anything good from the Yanks in game three of the series. We do have CC going to the mound for us. He is going against Brad Penny who hasn't been very consistent this season. He has been alright but maybe we can get something from him. But again, I'm not expecting anything good today.
So we start up interleague action again after the series with the Red Sox. We head back home to host our cross town National League rivals. The Mets. They are having a decent season so far and can't be underestimated. Johan Santana has been lights out this season. Too bad he hasn't gotten a ton of run support. But he's great. We play him and the Mets for three. Then we have a day off before facing the Nats at home for three. We go right into a three game series with the Marlins after the Nats' series. Then we have the Braves for three after a day off following the Marlins series. We finish everything off against the Mets again in Citi Field. So that's the near future. Maybe we can get some wins against our interleague opponents because we obviously can't get any against the stupid Red Sox.
Go Yanks. Maybe we'll get a win. Possibly. Actually, probably not. I'm being really pessimistic right now aren't I.

Food industry and health officials are in an ongoing political battle over the regulation of salts in processed foods. In the past century, sodium has become much more prevalent in the human diet [1]. According to recent studies, processed foods, rather than salt additives, have been the major sources of high sodium levels in the human diet [1]. High levels of sodium intake cause increased blood pressure [2]. Increased blood pressure results in increased risk for cardiovascular and renal dysfunction [3]. If reduced levels in processed foods can ameliorate significant public health issues such as the high incidence of cardiovascular and renal disease, it seems logical to set an appropriate limit for sodium contents in processed foods. Yet, government officials have not set a legal sodium limit in processed foods.
Food industry officials lead the countermovement against the reduction of sodium in processed foods. Sodium plays a large role in the preservative, functional, qualitative, and gustatory aspects of food. Food industry officials have prevented the reduction of sodium in processed foods in favor of tasty, unhealthy foods with longer shelf lives and increased economic profit [4]. Functionally, sodium regulates the aging of cheese and suppresses the off flavors of foods [5]. Additionally, sodium contributes to food safety by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms in various foods. High sodium content in a food product lowers its water activity, which creates an inhospitable environment for microorganisms in food fluids. Food industry officials have fought to maintain sodium levels in foods, so that the food industry does not suffer from new legislation meant to improve public health. It is unacceptable for the economic power of the food industry to interfere with changes that will produce significant improvements in public health.
Although changes in the functionality of salts may result in decreased functionality, many salt substitutes on the market provide a middle ground that will maintain some functional characteristics of salt while lowering population sodium intake. Many of the sodium "prototypes" thus far have hit local supermarkets around the country, but do not completely mimic the functional and gustatory properties of ordinary table salt, i.e. Sodium Chloride. Potassium Chloride, for instance, is slightly bitter, although it does mimic other functional and gustatory properties of Sodium Chloride. To minimize the bitter taste of Potassium Chloride in salt substitutes, food manufacturers have formulated salt mixtures with some percentage of both Sodium Chloride and Potassium Chloride [6,7](Figure 1). These mixtures have had modest success, but can help people regulate their Sodium Chloride intake.
To reach a consensus between the actions of both parties, Congress recommends a gradual reduction in the levels of sodium in processed foods [1]. This gradual reduction will allow the population to adapt to the low sodium taste of products. Nevertheless, this is merely a recommendation and Food Industry officials have not made significant changes in the sodium levels in their products [1]. Although reduction in sodium would have significant effects on population health, the economic power of the food industry has prevented meaningful changes that would move the health of our country in a better direction. Salt substitutes provide a short-term compromise that may improve public health conditions; individuals must take the initiative to lower their salt intake before Congress takes necessary actions to limit the salt contents in processed foods.

In planning for our future, Nick and I have been discussing the age-old dilemma: Do we stay in New York City or move to the 'burbs? We recently re-signed the lease on our apartment, which means we're here for at least another year. But beyond that, it's a mystery. Here's the problem: We only have about 750 square feet and just one bedroom—not exactly a palace fit for a family. We don't even have room for our wedding gifts, let alone baby stuff. (The wedding gifts are all in my parents' basement, which makes me very nervous…over the summer, my dad came up from the basement carrying one of my boxes, saying, excitedly, "Cindy, did you know we had a Cuisinart?! It's only a matter of time before my entire registry winds up in heavy rotation at the Zammett household.)
I've always yearned for more space…specific places to put specific things, several rooms to decorate, the ability to have more than five people over for dinner (counter space for my Cuisinart!). But I knew that was the sacrifice I made to live in a really freakin' sweet apartment in Manhattan (the place is fabulous, I have to say, and we have huge windows with sick views of the Hudson river—I can lay in bed and watch the boats come and go and see the Statue of Liberty!). But now that we're talking about raising a family here, it doesn't quite seem fair to stay. I know babies are small, but their stuff certainly isn't. Won't the little thing feel deprived if instead of a nursery it gets a corner in our bedroom? Won't Nick and I lose our minds?
We do have time to sort all this out, of course, but if all goes well, it's a situation we'll be facing sooner than later. And if buying a house is on the horizon that means saving money, something Nick and I aren't very good at. Our rent is more than double what my friend who lives in a beautiful 5-bedroom brick home in an exclusive Atlanta suburb pays for her mortgage! Ouch. Add to that the fact that we like to go out to expensive dinners (most dinners here are expensive) and travel and that I have a bit of a cab-taking issue (not a big fan of the subway) and we're lucky we have a savings account at all. Oh yeah, and I'm not sure I'm ready to leave NYC just yet! Any time Nick and I start this conversation, we talk ourselves in circles and throw in the towel long before we've made any progress. It's beginning to keep me up at night and I just wanted to share my frustration with all of you (as always). If you've got any thoughts or advice on either how to make it work or how to stop stressing, send them my way!

The Valentine's Day Dash remains my favorite race for the month of February. After all, where can you find a woman at the starting line wrapped in a shower curtain with fake blood on it — and accompanied by a man with a huge knife? That certainly had to be the best outfit for 2017.
This 5K has drawn some of the most interesting cupid-inspired costumes I've ever come across. A few years ago, a couple somehow finished the race together inside a large wooden, heart-shaped contraption. It certainly must have been a costume contest winner, but it looked most uncomfortable. Another year, I got beat by a runner wrapped up as a Hershey's chocolate.
And where else can you do a run where 70 percent of the participants are women?
But for last Sunday's 13th annual Valentine's Day Dash, I wanted something different. So I signed up for the event's inaugural 10K run. I've done the 5K run 10 times since the race started in 2005.
The 10K turned out to be OK, as I got a good training run in, and the weather was overcast, but dry. But I was one of only 122 finishers, with nearly 900 others opting to do the 5K. And it was a challenge to fight through all of the non-race pedestrians and dogs on that second loop around Green Lake. I think I will go back to the 5K next year.
Second loop a battle for running room
Green Lake, Seattle's gem of a park on the city's northwest side, remains the venue for this event and is just too busy for any distance beyond a 5K.
When the 5K and 10K runners are together for the first loop, it's crowded, but with packs of runners all going the same way (clock-wise around the lake). There's power in numbers. It also doesn't hurt that most of this first loop is on the outer streets that rim the park. The second loop moves mostly to the inner trail that surrounds the lake.
Since the vast majority of runners preferred the 5K, it was a slimmed-down race for that second 3.1-mile loop. I ran mostly alone — and against the groups of non-event recreational runners, walkers, strollers and dogs going the other way. It's taxing and a bit frustrating running around and through people and dogs (although I got a few cheers and thumbs-up from people for persevering).
I not only fought pedestrian traffic around Green Lake to get to the finish line, but also a nagging cold that had slowed me down the week leading up to the race.
Consequently, I finished in 1:22:14 (13:16 per mile), one of my slower 10K times, but not my worst. And not a surprise, either, given how I felt last week. (My 10K PR is 51:44 in 2004; my post-surgery best are the 1:16 times I did in two different races a year ago.) Full results are here.
Low turnout may doom 10K event
I'm not sure the race organizers will want to stage another 10K race at this event. We'll see. Some 888 runners and walkers completed the 5K, compared to the 122 who finished the 10K, a meager turnout for the longer race.
The combined number (1,010) is better than the 803 finishers for the 5K a year ago, but these turnouts are well done from the 2,000-plus participants in 2012 and 2013. However, the ratio of women to men — 704 women (70 percent) and 306 men — represents the same nice odds (for me) as that of past Valentine's Day Dash events.
One thing that wasn't similar: I saw no one I knew. What were all my runner friends doing last Sunday? It's rare that I don't run into someone I know at this event.
What's next: Chilly Hilly
I'm happy to have completed my 207th road race without a DNF. But now I'm eager to get back on my bicycle for the first big ride of the year, the Chilly Hilly on Feb. 26. I need another good-sized training ride first; hoping to get that this weekend.
A week later, on March 5, I'm back running the Hot Chocolate 15K, ready or not. I've never done a 15K (9.3 miles) before. At least I will have friends from Allytics joining me on this lengthy jaunt through downtown Seattle and up and down Aurora Avenue.
I'll do an race at the Mercer Island Half Marathon after that on March 19; not sure whether I'll do the half marathon of the 10K, for something different.
All of this, of course, is subject to my gimpy left ankle holding up. So far, so good. Knock on wood.
Thanks for reading! Till next time.

Does anything happen in this administration that isn't a coverup?
And do mainstream media ever think about regaining at least a small portion of the credibility they have lost by talking about it?
Excerpted from Bill Gertz's article at Washington Free Beacon – and please pay special attention to the first two paragraphs which I have put in bold print:
The domestic terrorist behind the Orlando nightclub massacre was motivated by a Pentagon drone strike in Iraq a month before the shooting, according to police transcripts made public last week.
Conversations between Omar Mateen and an Orlando police negotiator on June 12 were kept secret by FBI and local police until Friday. The secrecy contributed to misleading media accounts of the terrorist's motives in the days after the killings.
During an exchange in the early morning hours of June 12, an Orlando Police Department negotiator identified only as "Andy" asked Mateen, who was speaking by cell phone from inside the club, to tell him what was going on.
"Yo, the air strike that killed Abu Wahid a few weeks ago… that's what triggered it, okay?" said Mateen, who earlier in the conversation identified himself as a follower the Islamic State terror group.
"They should have not bombed and killed Abu Wahid," the former security guard declared. "Do your fucking homework and figure out who Abu Wahid is, okay?"
Additionally, Mateen praised one of the bombers of the 2013 Boston Marathon, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, and another domestic terrorist whose name was transcribed as unintelligible in the released transcript.
At other points, Mateen told the negotiator that the United States needed to stop all bombing in Iraq and Syria.
Initial reports from several news outlets reporting on the mass shooting variously described Mateen as gay, a "homophobe" and a "wife beater," despite his having made claims of allegiance to the Islamic State.
THEY KNEW. But, in an effort to push a social agenda they sat back and watched media weave a fairy tale of this having something to do with homophobia, instead of what THEY KNEW it was – radical islamic lunacy.
If this were a Republican administration and the coverup was for some piece of social legislation favored by the right, you can bet your bottom dollar media would be screaming about this from the rooftops.
But the information investigative reporter Bill Gertz uncovered has been available since last week. And I would bet money that either Mr. Gertz's article or this blog is the first you know about it.
This administration, and its media sycophants, are a disgrace. Why would anyone believe any of them?

Check out the latest deeds of MEP-Science M1/12. Here's what they're up to!
Wait, before I finish this blog, let me tell you about this "Tangram". Well, its quite simple all you have to do is to create different shapes and try to connect it all together to form another shape or form. But the tricky part is that, after doing so you must write the measurement of the sides of all the shapes that you used in making up your TANGRAMS. Its very easy to see but actually a bit tricky especially in designing the shape! But, M1/12 did it! Congratulations M1! Keep up the good work!

LONDON - Sir Elton John saying that he has just about had his fill of Chris Grayling and his anti-gay rantings has challenged Lord Graybloke, as Sir Elton calls him, to a singing match.
He went on to say that the loser of the singing contest has to move to San Francisco, California.
The 63-year-old native of Middlesex stated that he was glad to hear that one of his his closest American female friends Rosie O'Donnell had purchased two B&B's in Grayling's home town.
Sir Elton stated that he has been in contact with fellow British singers George Michaels and Boy George and that the three have agreed to form a corporation that will deal strictly with purchasing B&B's.
The man who sang about "Tiny Dancer" said that he has named their new company, "Tri-Queens of The Thames." He went on to say that the sole purpose of TQTT will be to buy up as many B&B's near Grayling's home as possible.
When Sir Elton was asked who is the CEO of TQTT, he smiled, took a sip of his Kiwi Margarita and replied, "We haven't got us a CEO. We are all equal partners. And like our company brochure will say, 'We are bloomingized beautiful business queens who know what queening is all about we does crikies we do."
In other news. The very serious verbal feuding that had been going on between Russian President Vladimir Putin and French President Nicolas Sarkozy has ended. Putin says that as soon as he told Nicky that he was getting ready to fire a dozen missiles into Paris, he received a text message from the French president stating, "Most honorable Comrade Putin, I, a humble and meek Nic Skarkozy, leader of the country of France wholeheartedly apologize to you for acting like the spineless twit that I sadly am."

The private lesson is in many ways directed by the student. No two lessons are the same and many vocal techniques are studied as they are needed. There is no linear process. There are many reasons why a singer might choose to have private lessons:
- If you sing professionally or are wanting to sing professionally one to one tuition is by far the best way to go.
- If you want to learn more complex music or prepare for exams or auditions.
- If you have some blockages in your voice that you feel would be too confronting to work on in a group situation.
- If you want to understand your voice on an emotional, mental and even spiritual level.
- If you are a beginner wanting to join a singing group.
- If the one to one format suits your personality more than group work.
- If you have never learned singing and feel that group work would be too confronting.
- If you like to sing with guitar and write your own songs.
- You are currently singing in a studio group and feel like you need some extra support.
- You feel that you would benefit more or would enjoy working one to one
Private Lessons can provide an opportunity for working on more subtle areas of voice training that can't be worked on in a group.
There is not much point in studying singing if you are learning about things that you can already do. Most singers can already breathe and most singers have some natural placement. It is my role to extend on what the singers are already doing so that they can really get to know it. It is not my role to disempower singers by telling them that there is a whole lot of information that they don't know. The singers learn to allow their bodies to take on information that their brains already understand.
Every student is respected. Whatever the reasons for wanting to learn to sing, all singers will be encouraged. It is an absolutely fascinating process.
Singers are encouraged to take part in workshops and masterclasses if they choose.

Marijuana terpenes and their effects - Alchimia blog. The genetic diversity of marijuana Pie chart of cannabis flavours (source: GreenHouse) Each marijuana plant coming from seed has a cannabinoid profile, unique taste and olfactory molecules, which are not found in the same way in any other plant.
This combination of possibilities creates countless variations in the flavours and effects of marijuana, and are highly valued by growers, who can discover new emotions when growing different strains, or may start breeding projects in order to select the plant that best suits their needs or priorities. The wide range of flavours and effects offered by the different strains of marijuana also helps you to avoid developing tolerance to its effects: when you have a single variety, the user and his or her body will develop a resistance – tolerance – to the properties of the plant consumed.

Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is the main component responsible for the psychoactive effects, or "high," cannabis is known for. While THC is known to have some medicinal value, there has been recent investigation into a new cannabinoid that is rumored to have more medicinal benefits than any single pharmaceutical drug on the market. Cannabidiol (CBD) How CBD Works. By Martin A.
LeeOriginally published in O'Shaughnessy's, Autumn 2011 CANNABIDIOL (CBD), a non-psychoactive component of the marijuana plant, has generated significant interest among scientists and physicians in recent years – but how it exerts its therapeutic impact on a molecular level is still being sorted out. Marijuana Potency Testing. Cannabinoids are a group of various chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant which act on the cannabinoid receptors located on cells which repress the release of certain neurotransmitters in the brain. They are similar to endocannabinoids (which are produced naturally in humans and animals) in shape and behavior.
This encourages them to bond with the cannabinoid receptors in our nervous system, producing the cannabis plant's known effects and a variety of other medical benefits and applications which are still being researched and understood today. Specifically, cannabinoids are a group of terpenophenolic compounds produced by the Cannabis sativa L. plant.
Cannabis sativa L. has been around for thousands of years and is considered one of the oldest known plants to be cultivated. Cannabis Science & Potency. Medicine Dosage. All too often, physicians refrain from recommending cannabis use by patients because they learned nothing about cannabis and the endocannabinoid system in medical school and cannot knowledgeably advise patients about dosage, safety, side effects, mechanism of action, etc. Cannabidiol and THC act synergistically to potentiate their respective therapeutic attributes. Thus, a CBD-dominant strain or product, while appropriate in some cases, is not necessarily a superior treatment option compared to a balanced CBD-rich remedy with an equal amount of CBD and THC. Different ratios of CBD and THC are more suitable for different conditions and different individuals.
Old Hippie's Definitive Guide to CBD In Medical Marijuana. If you're one of the people who needs cannabis regularly for medical purposes, you should know that the wonderful healing substance dismissed by the government as "weed" is made of a number of compounds known as cannabinoids, which all have different effects on the human body.

Studying Cybersecurity: Degrees at a Glance
Cybersecurity is an evolving field where professionals create and examine the ways the electronic infrastructure facilitates modern life. From the computer networks we use at work to our smartphones to the Internet, we depend on secure electronic systems. This, in turn, means we depend on cybersecurity experts.
Degree candidates in one of these graduate programs will study the latest tools, tricks and techniques involved in keeping and maintaining a secure electronic environment. While these degrees may enable you to pursue a wide range of employment opportunities, you should be certain of your vocational goals before you start researching academic programs. Jobs like information security analyst or computer network architect often require at least a bachelor's degree.
|Who is this degree for?

Master's Degree in Cybersecurity
Studying in this master's degree program can provide you with a thorough grounding in the relevant technologies needed to protect computer networks and infrastructure from attack. You'll study topics like continuity planning, digital evidence collection, biometrics, methods of electronic recovery and more.
Many of these programs are designed for working professionals who want to either enter the field of cybersecurity from another industry or increase their employment and advancement opportunities from within the computer field. Not all programs will require that you have a computer science background or degree. However, if you're approaching this program from an unrelated field, you'll most likely have to enroll in a number of prerequisite computer courses.
Pros and Cons
- Computer occupations are among some of the fastest growing job markets in the nation
- An advanced degree may make you eligible for more jobs
- You'll likely work indoors in a climate-controlled environment and may have a set 9-5 schedule
- Depending on your career goals, you may not need a master's degree to get the job you want
- Graduate degree programs can be quite expensive and non-loan funding may be difficult to secure
- For some jobs, you'll likely be competing with people who have only a bachelor's degree and experience
Courses and Requirements
In this type of program, you'll most likely enroll in core graduate-level cybersecurity courses. Generally, there are very few elective and general education courses needed that fall outside of the discipline. Many programs feature a degree requirement, such as a capstone project or master's thesis. Below are listed some sample course topics.
- Digital forensics
- Cryptography
- Algorithm design
- Operating systems
Online Degree Options
Online master's degree programs in cybersecurity are available. These programs may be completely online or hybrid programs. These online programs should afford degree candidates the same educational outcomes and career opportunities as the traditional classroom-based programs. Students will generally cover the same computer-related topics, including firewalls and advanced math.
Stand Out with This Degree
One way to stand out with this degree is to pursue an internship to gain experience in the field. Many of these programs do not feature an internship as a degree requirement. So while completing an internship will not get you course credit, it can also provide you with valuable work experience. The National Security Agency (NSA) is one governmental group that has an internship program. The 12-week summer internship program at NSA is for graduate students in computer science and related fields.
PhD Degree in Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity studies at this level are primarily offered through programs in related areas, such as civil security, computer science and information technology. Doctoral degree candidates study many of the same topics found at the master's degree level. These include how to protect computer infrastructure from attack and how to recover from an attack once it happens. You'll also receive instruction in topics such as access control, system and network architecture, algorithms, computer analysis, artificial intelligence and software construction.
In these programs, you may also choose a concentration from another related field, such as software security, information assurance or event response. Programs will culminate in a dissertation defense or research project on a cybersecurity topic.
Pros and Cons
- Studying cybersecurity at the doctoral level can prepare you for advanced positions, such as lead researcher
- As a cybersecurity professor, you'll be training the next generation of computer safety specialists
- You can complete some of your studies online
- Programs that focus solely on cybersecurity may be unavailable
- A doctoral degree may be unnecessary for some cybersecurity positions
- You may be competing for jobs against applicants with less education and more experience
Courses and Requirements
The curriculum of these programs is often divided between classroom lectures and lab courses. You will also receive course credit for working on your dissertation. Below are listed some sample course topics.
- Computational theory
- Information assurance
- Incident response
- Intrusion detection
- National security
Online Degree Options
While someprograms offer a selection of their courses online, completely online doctoral programs in cybersecurity are difficult to find. One reason for this is that the research thesis component of your studies requires working with your academic adviser. However, it is not unusual for a program to offer the required cybersecurity courses online, while the other computer science courses are offered in the traditional classroom environment. You may also find programs require you to visit the campus for a residency or to meet any on-campus requirements.
Getting Ahead with This Degree
Pursuing a doctoral degree in cybersecurity can prepare you for academic and research careers. If working as a college professor is your goal, there are things you can do to enhance your job opportunities. Publishing articles in trade and professional magazines and journals may be on of your first priorities. You can begin thinking about this as you choose your doctoral concentration and topic. Having your original research published and recognized by your soon-to-be peers can open career doors and help get you on your way.

Skye High
The Leica Meet trip to the Isle of Skye, Mar 8 – 11th 2015
"Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar, Thunderclaps rend the air…." So goes the verse to the Skye Boat Song written about the escape of Bonnie Prince Charlie to the Isle of Skye. If it was true on Apr 16th 1746 after the Battle of Culloden, then it was certainly still true on Mar 9th 2015, when we set out on our Leica in the Landscape, Meet.
And through it all, while we staggered around in the wind and rain, our Leica gear including M film cameras, M9 and M240 models functioned perfectly. We didn't know how weather resistant the equipment would be but we couldn't miss out on the rugged and beautiful landscape of Skye, so we shot in pelting rain and never experienced any problems.
Reflecting on our Skye trip I'm struck by the parallels with using a Leica M. We were a small group, touring in mostly terrible weather for just a few days and yet we produced imagery we are proud to show. There is something in the challenge of those circumstances, the battle to do decent work, that made it exceptionally rewarding for all of us. In an age of convenience, 140 characters and do-it-all-for-you apps there is much to be said for striving before succeeding.
The parallel with the Leica M series is perfect. It doesn't auto-magic everything, you need to know how to use a camera to get the best out of it and that takes time and effort. But the rewards are exactly the same as our Skye high.

Drift away from your divine purpose and you drift away from your authentic self. Peace and happiness wilt away under the hot sun of inauthenticity.
Sanity may be madness but the maddest of all is to see life as it is and not as it should be.
Miguel de Cervantes
If you feel boxed in by life, know that many have risen up from far more dire conditions to stake their claim to the life they were born to lead.
People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them.
George Bernard Shaw
Resist change and you will never bridge the distance between your own heart and the heart of your very best self who waits patiently in the mists for your welcoming embrace.
Change occurs when one becomes what she is, not when she tries to become what she is not.

• Why is there an exception to "Everything happens for a reason"?
Those who worship logic instead of God are only half right. Not only is it logical to believe in God and to live a faith-based life, the existence of a loving, benevolent God that governs all creation is perhaps the only systematic worldview that explains every aspect of life.

Key to Great Skin by IDO's Clinic
Stepping into IDO's Clinic, I was amazed with the skin and body treatments that they offer. Problems that I thought could never be treated like birthmark and indented scars are solvable here. The party started off with a treasure hunt where participants hunted for products according to the pictures given to them. MEDKARE is one of the products used in the clinic.
Dr. Lucas Chia, Medical Director of IDO's Clinic then conducted an interactive session where participants were free to raise any issues they had in mind about skin. Dr. Chia and his wife Dr. Joslyn were very receptive of our inquisitive minds. The session was very informative and eye-opening. Some of the questions that arose were:
How to treat opened pores?Opened pores are due to loss of collagen and skin integrity. We should exfoliate to remove dead skin and use products that contain comedone essence to refine the pores by controlling sebum.
How can pigmentation be removed?There are 6 types of pigmentation (birthmark, freckles, post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, melasma, Nevus of Horis and tattoo). We first have to identify the pigmentation with a qualified consultant. Then a suitable laser is used by medical doctor to treat the area, followed by proper products to heal the skin.
How can stretch marks be removed?Stretch marks can be categorized into three colours- red stage, skin-coloured stage and white stage. Treat stretch marks at the red stage. If skin coloured, chances are lower and if white coloured stretch marks are almost permanent. Apply a lot of moisturizer to the affected areas or prone areas before the stretch happens.
I then had the chance to be in the treatment room to witness some of the laser treatments demonstrated by Dr. Chia himself. One treatment that attracted me was the Carbon Peel Laser that uses carbon nano-particles to instantly cleanse and brighten the skin. The treated skin was seen to be fairer and suppler. For brides-to-be, this could be the package you are looking for.
Dr. Chia introduced his latest toy, the High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) machine. This treatment uses ultrasound to tighten the skin. He then proceeded to show us how the Dysport (better known as Botox) is injected into a patient. One of Dr. Ido's doctors explained that the injection is a safe procedure and the medical staff in the clinic are trained and certified to carry out the treatments.
|Ido's Clinic : Dr Ido's Clinic uses MEDKARE products
|Ido's Clinic : Medical Directors Dr. Chia and his wife Dr. Joslyn
|Ido's Clinic : The DIY cream only available to Dr. Ido's customers
The session did not end there as all participants were given the chance to create our own DIY moisturizer after the demonstrations. The DIY moisturizer is only available to IDO's customers. I adored the DIY station as I get to determine the ingredient in my moisturizer, the smell and even the colour! I concocted a red moisturizer for oily skin which has exfoliating, whitening and soothing properties.
Looking at what technology can do nowadays, we need not worry about ugly scars and marks anymore. I cannot wait for my first treatment at IDO's Clinic to zap out my scars!

Plays Directory : My Fair Lady
The information below is intended to give you a brief guide to the show and highlight some of the other The Mandy Network members who have also been involved in this show.
AuthorAlan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe (ad. from George Bernard Shaw)
OverviewMusical adaptation of Shaw's 'Pygmalion'.
It tells the tale of poor, lower class flower girl, Eliza Doolittle's accidental meeting of the upper class Professor Henry Higgins. After what seemed an insignificant bet with his colleague and house guest, Colonel Pickering, he enlists the help of his house staff (Poor Professor Higgins), determined and obsessed with grooming Ms Doolittle into passing her off as a lady in front of heads of state, aristocracy and even royals at a ball. Trying her out at the races in Ascot, she struggles through and wins the affection of all she meets, including Higgins' mother and notably the infatuation of Freddie Eynsford-Hill (On The Street Where You Live). When Eliza appears ready for the ultimate test (By George I Think She's Got It) they take her to the ball where she is rumoured to be a Hungarian Princess. Eliza is on cloud nine after the success (I Could Have Danced All Night) , but Higgins appears to lose interest in his ingenue (You Did It). Falling out and moving out, they then both realise they can't live without one another (I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face and Without You) and stubbornly they both refuse to admit this but end up being drawn back together. Classic tale of poor girl meets rich boy, girl makes good, they fall in love and we're to presume they live happily ever after.

New EC-Council Certification
Certiport, a Pearson VUE business, announced at the first day of Global Partner Summit (GPS) 2018 in Orlando, a new certification program for secondary schools and higher education in partnership with EC-Council, a global leader in cybersecurity education. Certiport and EC-Council will launch the EC-Council Associate Series certification exams, practice tests, and curriculum beginning in fall 2018 starting with the Ethical Hacking Associate (EHA) and Cyber Forensics Associate (CFA) exams.
Cybersecurity jobs are in high-demand. According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, there are roughly half a million cybersecurity-related job openings in the United States. EC-Council currently offers professional-level certifications, but the new Associate Series exams validate entry-level knowledge and prepare individuals to continue learning best practices for today's cybersecurity threat landscape.
"Many schools have already recognized the need in the marketplace for graduates with cybersecurity skills and have launched CTE and degree programs to fill that need," said Ray Murray (Vice President, Business Development, Pearson VUE). "Now, the EC-Council Associate Series certification exams will give academia a method to validate those skills with industry-recognized certification. Graduates can fill the demand for cybersecurity jobs while schools add credibility to their programs."
Beginning in fall 2018, schools can offer the new EC-Council Associate Series EHA and CFA certification exams easily with curriculum and practice exams that align to exam content and are easy to implement into existing courses.
EC-Council, or the International Council of E-Commerce Consultants, is the world's largest cybersecurity technical certification body. They have certified over 200,000 information security professionals globally and have influenced the cybersecurity mindset of countless organizations worldwide, coining the phrase "Ethical Hacking" in 2001. EC-Council programs are vendor neutral and focus on best practices on a global scale, making the new EC-Council Associate Series of certifications exams especially valuable for students around the world.
"EC-Council is very pleased to have forged this strategic partnership with Certiport to offer hands-on cybersecurity certification programs to students across the world," said Wesley Alvarez (Director of Academics U.S., EC-Council). "We strongly believe that educating high school students on today's threat landscape from both an offensive and defensive perspective will develop their interest and skills at an early age. The EHA and CFA programs challenge students with dynamic red-team, blue-team concepts, without hindering hands-on activities or creativity."
Andrew Flood (CEO, Prodigy Learning) commented "The need for cybersecurity skills among employees in today's digital workplace is very apparent. We are very excited to be delivering the new industry-recognised EHA and CFA certification pathways to Australia, Ireland & UK to increase employability prospects for students within the cybersecurity workspace".
EC-Council Associate Series certification curriculum is available for review so schools can begin to prepare for the 2018-2019 school year. Visit EC-Council Associate Certification Overview for more information.

Chris Koch
March 4, 2016 Arvada, CO….. Christine Koch, City Clerk since 1994, officially retired from the City on March 4.Kristen Rush, who has served alongside Koch as Deputy City Clerk since 1994, has been promoted to City Clerk.
Koch, who was recently named 'Clerk of the Year' by the Colorado Municipal Clerks Association, has earned a reputation of incredible competence and efficiency, not just at the City of Arvada but across the state of Colorado. In 2014, she became the first municipal clerk in Colorado to be recognized as an Athenian Leadership Society Fellow from the Athenian Leadership Society, an advanced International Institute of Municipal Clerks' Leadership Development Program.
City Manager Mark Deven stated, "Chris has made a strong impact on Arvada. Due to the many systems and processes that she has put into place, agendas, postings, records management, ballot preparation, passport applications, and much more appear to those outside the clerk's office as effortless."
Mayor Marc Williams added, "Chris Koch has been a wonderful City Clerk who has always been professional and helpful to our citizens, other staff, candidates, and elected officials. If you looked in the dictionary under 'Great City Clerks,' there would be a picture of Chris."
Chris and her husband Rick have three children and eight grandchildren, and she is looking forward to spending more time with family. But, she says, "I couldn't have asked for a better, more fulfilling career than I have experienced with Arvada, and I will miss all the people associated with this great organization and the community."
Kristen Rush
Assuming the role of City Clerk is Kristen Rush, who, during her 21 years as Arvada's Deputy City Clerk has gained extensive experience in all functions of the office including elections, licensing, and records. "I have been so fortunate to work alongside Chris and hope to continue providing the City and citizens of Arvada the same quality service that Chris set as a standard." Before coming to Arvada, Rush spent 8 ½ years in the Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder's Office.
"Kristen has managed our liquor licensing process in a manner that is fair, efficient, and effective," Deven said. "She has been working closely with Chris in preparation for the day she assumes full responsibility for the City Clerk's office, and is ready to be our City Clerk."
