CBD Wax: High Intensity CBD Smoking
When it comes to improving your health and well-being, there a plethora of options available for use. Throughout the course of history, there's been medicine and various supplements to help. But recently, there's been another candidate to rise to the occasion when it comes to helping treat a medical condition and that thing is cannabis.
Marijuana has experienced an exponential rise in popularity and usage among a diverse set of individuals in the last few years. Medical marijuana was merely existing within a small subset of the population, but now the notion of medical marijuana has become accepted by the mainstream.
When people think of the cannabis plant, there's a tendency to only think of the THC compound that is associated with getting high. But there are numerous other compounds. One other important compound found on the hemp plant is Cannabidiol.
CBD Cannabidiol is merely one of the 113 cannabinoids found on a hemp plant. CBD Cannabidiol is one of the more noteworthy compounds due to the various products being formulated and available to the general public.
CBD products exist in many diverse and unique forms, but one highly unique and effective one is CBD wax.
Why Should You Use CBD Wax?
Typical CBD products that come to mind first are various CBD oils. However, the diverse nature of this product offers up the option of CBD wax. However, before proceeding any further, it must be noted that you need a full setup in order to use the wax because dabbing is a necessity along with the use of a dab pen.
The extraction process of CBD wax is happening through the carbon dioxide process.
Not only is this method thought to be the best method for extracting the purest form of CBD hemp, but it's also the safest as it removes unwanted substances such as chlorophyll from the oil produced. Since the CBD is extracted from a hemp plant instead of a marijuana plant, the CBD oil can easily be extracted into to be processed into the CBD wax.
Keep in mind that both the hemp plant and marijuana plant are types of cannabis plant but with different properties.
The wax is going to contain low levels of THC while possessing high CBD concentrate levels. CBD wax is a great choice due to the high CBD hemp levels and with the simple addition of dabs becomes even more beneficial since you'll be able to feel the effects quicker.
CBD wax is a great addition to medical marijuana due to its treat cure benefits of various ailments. CBD wax is one of the easiest hemp CBD products to use which makes it more appealing to novice users of CBD hemp.
CBD wax takes on many forms based on the texture, moisture, and heat levels before the substance are purged. Lastly, it's important to remember that CBD wax isn't like CBD oil or any other cannabis oil that can be ingested. If ingesting pure CBD hemp oil is a priority, then stick to the various oils.
What is Dabbing?
Dabs are simply concentrated doses of cannabis made by extracting THC and the various other cannabinoids. As previously mentioned, to get into dabbing, you need a dab pen to undertake the process.
Using CBD hemp is a safer and more effective way to feel the beneficial effects. Dabs are used in medical marijuana but participating in dabbing CBD wax isn't the same as dabbing concentrated cannabis. Remember the cannabis plant is highly diverse in its compounds.
CBD wax, of course, has a high level of CBD concentrate to dab from. Using a vaporizer is also another method but you have to dab it first before you think about ingesting the CBD vape oil material.
As mentioned in a little detail earlier, the CO2 method is most commonly used to remove all the unwanted compounds which lead to consumption of the purest form of Cannabidiol oil.
By further reducing trace amounts of THC, it becomes much easier to inject CBD isolate into the wax.
The process of using CBD wax is becoming more and more common among the population. To describe dabbing, it starts with a simple process of heating a small amount of the wax by applying it to the heated coil of a dab pen.
Next, the CBD is inhaled through an attached mouthpiece connect on the wax pen.
Lastly, heat vaporizes which allows a smooth inhalation through the mouth. CBD vape oil is a highly popular form due to the convenience and ease. With the ability to carry a wax vape pen wherever you go is only going to make this method more appealing.
A wax vape pen is a relatively inexpensive product which only bolsters CBD dabs appeal.
The Best CBD Shatter
What makes the CBD compound impressive is the myriad of options available for use. One of those is shattering which is technically different from wax. During the extraction process, the substance doesn't quite become crystallized, which gives it a more opaque and cloudy appearance.
Due to also being more glass-like in its structure, it's really not even a wax. On a side note, once you heat this particular substance in a vape coil, it takes on an appearance similar to that of honey.
With that said, there are numerous types of products to choose from for your CBD shatter. Various forms of weed online are only increasing by the day.
Green Roads CBD Shatter
This brand is not only affordable but also boost an impressive profile of pure CBD at 90 percent. For 450mg of pure CBD, prices start at $49.99. Since it contains natural flavorings, you can use this in edibles and other substances.

Two particular versions of this highland pharms product are available for consumption and both have incredible flavors due to the natural terpene. You have the 300 plus and the 750 plus.
Speaking of the 750 plus, it's consisting of 750mg of CBD and has a price of $39.95, to begin with.

CBDistillery Broad Spectrum Wax
This is an 80 percent Broad Spectrum CBD wax that is mixed with CBD and CBG, which is a solid profile of true industrial hemp of high quality. This product is running at $50 and the reviews have been favorable with people noting the quality taste.
The Benefits of Dabbing Wax
One of the biggest benefits with dabbing wax is the intensity that it can bring to the user which is beneficial regarding healing and maintaining optimal health.
It's possible to fit up to five grams of quality concentrate in a single dab. With the popularity of vaping and the ease in which to obtain a starter kit, there's still a place for dabbing.
A few more benefits concerning CBD wax (and wax in general) is the ability to relegate your dosage along with the benefit of using it with other CBD items (CBD e-liquid being one of many).
Also of note is the fact that there are a plethora of consumption forms to use when it comes to your wax. You have a vape pen (vape juice included) along with the dab rig. And for those who are worried about taste, many claim that it tastes like red cherries.
Is Wax The Future Of CBD?
In the industrial hemp world, quality is unlikely to be a problem. This crosses off one thing. And with that crossed off means, the sky is the limit as far as CBD is concerned.
Specifically concerning CBD wax, the future will be especially bright because it provides both convenience and effectiveness.
This tag team of effects equates to satisfying mainstreams appeal.
There are numerous methods to use the wax and since it's able to be applied at high dosages, the potential benefits are highly appealing to those who suffer from chronic pains and other medical issues.
If you're considering a CBD wax product, the first area to look into is with the CBD concentrate dab oil due to its high levels of CBD oil along with being safe and legal.
If you're a cannabis user, then trying out CBD wax is definitely worth a shot.

Toshiba might be working on its next generation of mobile phone after specs of an unknown model were leaked.
Although firmly planted in the 'rumour' category of mobile phone news, specs from the GCF, according to The Unwired, show approvals for both the TG01 and a 'To Be Advised' handset as well.
Both phones carry the same specifications, i.e. 3.5G, MMS and web browsing (shocking) and both were apparently submitted at the same time, so it's hard to know how much to read into this finding, as it could just be the same handset in a different category.
No Android
We contacted Toshiba for comment on whether this phone is coming or whether it plans to release an Android phone in the near future, but we were told the company is solely focused on the TG01 at the moment.
Many were surprised that the Tosh hasn't announced plans for an Android phone as yet, given that it joined the Open Handset Alliance in early December 2008, and many expected the TG01 to be running the interface.
But whether the new phone, if it is real at all, will run Android will be a real waiting job, as Toshiba is staying tight-lipped on its future plans.

Typically, when you lose something in 5 tons of garbage, it's gone for good. But thanks to 15 incredibly dedicated Shanghai street cleaners, searching through all that trash for 3 hours in 37 degree Celsius heat, two tourists from Beijing got their missing iPhone back.
One of the tourists, Zhang Xiaoliang, told reporters that he and his girlfriend were walking around Yuyuan Garden when they suddenly realized they had carelessly left their iPhone6 behind after lunch. Zhang says that the phone had important business materials on it, Sohu News reports.
According to real-time GPS tracking, the phone had somehow ended up in a trash bin, which was empty when they arrived. Zhang tried to locate the phone once again, finding that it was now at a garbage station near the City God Temple. By the time they reached that station, the signal was gone.
Zhang guessed that the phone must be in the tons and tons of garbage. Unwilling to give up, he asked the sanitation workers for help.
After learning about the situation, Han Yiming, the boss at the station, organized 15 cleaners to help look through all the garbage for the missing phone. They started their search at 1:40 p.m. and finally found the lost iPhone at around 4:30 p.m. These guys deserve a raise.
Zhang's girlfriend was so happy when she got her phone back, she gave Han Yiming a big hug to express her gratitude. She even tried to give him 1,000 yuan, but Han politely turned the money down, saying that it was his duty to help people
Afterward, Zhang posted an article online titled "The coolest cleaners ever" to tell the story of how Han and his coworkers had helped find the phone.
"We are really touched that you spent such a long time on finding our phone. I appreciate it very much! You guys are the pride of Shanghai! Thank you so much, the coolest cleaners ever, you're welcome to come to Beijing anytime!" Zhang wrote.
Not too long ago, a young girl was spotted helping her street cleaner mom sweep the sidewalks while under the sweltering heat in Shanghai — also around Yuyuan Garden.
So, if you go to Yuyuan Garden, please keep track of your mobile phones and throw away all your trash.

The Beginners Guide To Resources (Finding The Starting Point)
How To Ensure Promote Your Produce Business Beyond The Local Market
Most farmers are registered in the Farmers Market Directory. The farmers market give the farmers and artisans an opportunity to sell their products locally. In most cases the farmers get to sell their produce in informal markets. However you can uplift your business beyond selling the produce at the local market. What this website will do is to discuss how that is possible. The first thing that you need to do is to identify the market. The key to growing your business lies in the capacity to supply the needs of a specific market. You may be selling your product to anyone who passes by in the farm or at the market. However having a specific person you want to cater for with your product can help you in both advertisings and also planning for growth. Right now you may b selling your produce to community members who are interested in getting fresh products. However, if you can change that o selling to people who are thinking of health products, you can have a different focus altogether. The best thing is to identify who you want to reach with your products before thinking of selling them.
The other thing that you need to think about is networking. If you want to be sure of your success in business think about a solid network. Most of the businesses use their networking system to have their business spread through word of mouth. You may need to print some business cards to spread among your networking system. Being active on social media is also something else that can help you. It presents an important channel to business owners. You can reach a large audience by using any of the social media platforms.
You should also learn more about advertising using social media. You need to make sure you check it out on the right websites to learn how to market using social media. You may need to ensure that you have your own website. When you have your site; you will be able to reach many with information about your farming techniques.
The other strategy that will work well for you is to hold produce sales at your farm. You should dedicate specific day and time to do that. You may also think of giving some incentives. That is also a way of attracting customers. If you have some of the customers making some commitments, you should think of providing them with incentives. The other important thing to do is to make sure you upgrade your technology. You should think of providing your buyers with other payment methods. Upgrading your point of sale system can give you a notch above others. Make sure you stay ahead of the others by using systems that are beyond what they are using.

I would never say that fall is my favorite season (nothing beats the long days of summer for me) but no one can argue that the change in foliage is a work of natural art. So this week, Lily and I took a trip to the park to play on the playground (of course) and enjoy the view. I thought I'd share some of the pictures that I took with you.
I loved walking down the road and looking up to see the trees making this rainbow canopy.
This tree looked like natural ombre–from red to orange to yellow.
Lily brought her Build A Bear phone to snap a few pics too. She said, "I'm going to put this on my blog. My friends are going to LOVE this!" (I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried!)

Hot Wheels Criss Cross Crash Track Set$44.99 | ages 4 and upFew kids in our toy test could resist this mesmerizing set — a new-and-improved...
The It Toy
Sometimes the toys children want the most are the very ones that cause parents uncertainty — not just about our budgets, but also our values.
Items that top a kid's wish list can present parents with a multitude of toy-buying dilemmas.
It could be a doll that each of your child's friends has, but comes with a hefty price tag. Or maybe it's a tablet or phone: Are you ready for that? Are your kids?
Is the It Toy this year even age appropriate for your kid? Does your kid want it only because it's popular? How much is too much to spend on a toy that might be a quickly passing fad? And what kind of precedent will you set for future years if you cave this year?
The truth is, you may never know the "right" answers. But here are some strategies to consider when making your toy-buying decisions.
Delaying gratification
To Willmar mom Shanna Gebhard, the season's It Toy is whichever one her 6-year-old daughter, Peyton, "really, really wants."
Right now, more affordable Shopkins toys and Poppit clay kits top Peyton's list.
But when Peyton's most desired It Toy was a set of American Girl Bitty Twins dolls, she didn't stop talking about it for a whole year, Gebhard said. Peyton spent hours looking through the catalog, carried it around the house with her and picked names for the twins.
Her mom, after delaying her daughter's gratification for a year, figured it would be worth the splurge on the $125 set of dolls.
She was right: Bitty Twins Charlotte and Loretta go almost everywhere with Peyton. And they encourage imaginative play that doesn't involve screen time.
Gianna Kordatzky — a New Brighton mom of four, who co-authors a website featuring free and low-cost family-activity ideas (Family Fun Twin Cities) — found herself in a similar situation, but handled it a bit differently.
When her two daughters wanted American Girl dolls at the same time, she was in for double sticker shock.
She told the girls they could have the dolls if they pitched in, too.
After about a year of saving their birthday and Christmas money, they made their purchases with Mom and Dad covering the remaining cost.
Kordatzky recommends the dolls for kids at an age — about 7 or 8 — when they're are young enough to engage in lots of imaginative play, but also old enough to appreciate earning money for a big toy purchase.
Cultivating imagination
Brenda Schaeffer, a licensed psychologist in Minneapolis who has worked with many local children and families, is a proponent of gifts that help children be artistic and imaginative. She said between the ages of 3 and 7, children are highly creative and it's one of the most important aspects of their development.
Kordatzky favors giving outdoor toys for staying active such as roller blades and bikes. She also keeps her kids stocked with art supplies.
"Who doesn't love getting a new box of crayons?" she said. "Even I think that's cool."
Many popular toys are heavy on technology. Schaeffer said it's OK to give that type of It Toy, but balance it with other toys that encourage more imagination.
Gebhard won't buy anything electronic for Peyton, not wanting to add to the overload of screen time she gets from cartoons and the iPads she uses at school to learn to read.
In addition to the brand-name toys in her collection, her daughter has a tiger and giraffe made of wood and rope, which Gebhard describes as "the most primitive looking toy animals I've ever seen."
Despite their rudimentary aesthetic, the toys are some of Peyton's favorites.
"Sometimes the simplest toys make the best toys, because then their imagination kicks in," Gebhard said. For Peyton's animal toys, the bathtub becomes a watering hole, the backyard a savannah.
"She's seen The Lion King a few too many times," Gebhard said.
Giving experiences
Beyond toys that foster the imaginative qualities in children, families are turning to giving experiences instead of tangible gifts. Gebhard attributes her daughter's creative play abilities to the theater performances they've attended together since Peyton was a baby.
Last year, attending her first ballet performance was one of her favorite Christmas gifts.
"There is so much you can do besides a toy under the Christmas tree," Gebhard said. "We live in such an amazing area for things for families to do."
Kordatzky agrees. The It Toy in her house right now is LEGO sets of all kinds, but she offers her children the choice between a nice gift like a large LEGO set or a fun outing such as the Minnesota Zoo.
One benefit to giving experiences isn't having quite so many toys cluttering the playroom or needing to be thrown away when they break. With four kids, that's especially helpful.
"We have Hot Wheels tracks all over and I don't know how to control it!" she said.
Kordatzky also holds back on toys because the children's grandma is a generous gift giver.
"We want our kids to be grateful for what they have, and not expect things or think they deserve them," she said.
Instilling gratitude, too
In a season that seems to revolve around kids' lengthy wish lists, it's never too early to learn about gratitude and giving to others.
"The concept of giving and sharing is really important, because children can be very self-centered. Especially today they need to learn the values of caring for others," Schaeffer said.
There are many parents now involving their children in volunteering with nonprofit organizations, Schaeffer said, and that's one way to help children to learn the pleasure of giving.
Acts of kindness needn't be done solely through an organization, however. A person in need might be closer than you think.
"There is a lot of loneliness around the holidays," she said. "Parents should really look around and see if there are people in their lives like an elder — or a child who isn't likely to get one or many gifts."
When children give presents to family, parents can encourage gifts that are handmade and heartfelt. Schaeffer fondly remembers her own grown children once writing her notes to be used as coupons for things such as breakfast in bed.
It's one more way to teach children that gifts are from the heart and aren't always physical objects.
As with many things, holiday gifting is all about balance.
"I personally love gift giving," Schaeffer said. "It's OK to spoil a child over the holidays, as long as they know it's just once a year."

Abba Galadima believes Super Eagles can beat Libya in Uyo
Former Kano Pillars chairman, Abba Galadima has disclosed that the Super Eagles should explore the huge sporting gap between Nigeria and Libya and triumph in their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier slated for Uyo on Saturday.
The Eagles currently trail the Mediterranean Knights in third place in Group E with three points from two games while Libya and South Africa are occupying the first and second spots with four points apiece respectively.
Galadima noted that the Eagles must capitalize on their global rating and previous achievements in Africa to crush the Libyans and brighten their chances of qualification for the 2019 Afcon slated for Cameroon.
Editors' Picks
He stressed that must hold the fixture with Adel Amrouche's men in right regard and strive not secure the three points in Uyo and also ensure they avoid defeat in Tunisia in the recent leg tie to boost their qualification hope and save Nigerians the heartache of three consecutive shutouts in Africa's football showpiece.
"I don't think that Libya will be a match to us because in all situations they are still a small team to us," Galadima told Goal.
"We should face them with the same mindset and secure the three points that will boost our chances of qualifying for the Afcon. They are on top of the group presently but we should show them that we have woken up and should strive to get the maximum points.
"We can't afford to miss another Afcon and so the Eagles must take this game seriously and ensure that they turn the results of the qualification series around in the next two games. We must win at home first before talking about the away fixture."
The Eagles were stopped from playing in the 2015 and 2017 Afcon in Equatorial Guinea and Gabon respectively after they were eliminated in the qualifiers by South Africa and Egypt. They last won the competition in 2013 when it was hosted by South Africa.

Reader's advisory: Wired News has been unable to confirm some sources for a number of stories written by this author. If you have any information about sources cited in this article, please send an e-mail to sourceinfo[at]wired.com.
*Unconfirmed sources in this article: Keri Carnen and Bob Jern. *
A desire for cheap labor is not the primary reason technology companies are turning to offshore workers, according to a new report by the American Electronics Association, the United States' largest high-tech trade association.
The American school system, which AeA researchers charge is failing to provide strong science and math education to students, is largely to blame for lost jobs, according to the AeA's report, "Offshore Outsourcing in an Increasingly Competitive and Rapidly Changing World."
"Companies aren't outsourcing only in order to obtain cheap labor; they are also looking for skilled technology workers that they increasingly can't find in the U.S.," said Matthew Kazmierczak, senior manager of research at AeA, and one of the authors of the report.
Lack of government funding for technology research and development, the high cost of providing health insurance to workers, an increasingly litigious industry and competition – once a competitor outsources, then other companies are almost forced to do so – were also cited as reasons for seeking offshore labor.
But AeA researchers also state in the report that the effects of offshore outsourcing on technology workers have been exaggerated, and that no hard numbers are being gathered by government or independent entities that cite exactly how many jobs have actually been lost to outsourcing over the past few years.
"Figures cited in news reports are normally predictions of what will happen, not an analysis of what is happening," Kazmierczak said.
Predictions do abound. Research firm Gartner produced the most recent figures, estimating that one in 10 information-technology jobs at U.S. IT companies, and one in 20 at non-IT companies, will move offshore by the end of 2004.
And as more companies move jobs outside the United States, the AeA warns that other companies will be forced to follow in their footsteps, just to remain competitive.
"Many of the companies that outsource jobs overseas usually have no alternative, as that is exactly what their competitors are doing," said William T. Archey, president and CEO of the AeA. "Failure to outsource will result in an even greater loss of jobs than would be lost to offshoring alone."
Kazmierczak acknowledged that AeA members are all business owners, not employees, but says this had no effect on the report's findings.
"Yes, we do represent the interests of businesses," said Kazmierczak. "However, we believe our report is a fair and balanced look at the entire scope and context of the offshore-outsourcing issue.
"It's understandable that offshoring is a very emotional discussion, but this paper attempts to bring some common sense and reality to the situation," Kazmierczak said. "AeA does acknowledge that some people are being hurt by offshoring, and the report includes recommendations on how to keep jobs here in the U.S."
Among the recommendations to help staunch outsourcing, the AeA called for tech businesses to support math and science education in schools, with donations of both money and time.
Businesses and universities should send their skilled programmers, engineers and scientists into public schools to mentor and teach, to help ensure that children are getting the best possible education in these fields, AeA researchers urged.
"We'd welcome scientists and computer people in schools – I think it would really spark interest in these fields," said New York middle-school teacher Keri Carnen. "Despite our best efforts, our kids really have a hard time understanding why they might need advanced math or science in their adult lives."
The federal government should also increase research and development budgets to help keep jobs in the United States and ensure the country remains competitive in technical and scientific fields. Past technologies stimulated by federal R&D funding and tax credits include the Internet, super and personal computers, and integrated circuits, according to the AeA report.
Noting that roughly 50 percent of all engineering, math and science degrees awarded by U.S. universities now go to foreign nationals, AeA researchers also called on the federal government to give green cards to all foreign nationals upon their graduation with master's and Ph.D. degrees, in an effort to keep these people – and their skills – in the United States.
The report also strongly suggested that the government explore ways to reduce the cost of doing business in the United States, specifically citing health insurance and litigation costs as issues that need to be addressed through universal government-provided health care and litigation reform.
The AeA report strongly condemned any efforts to pass "protectionist" legislation aimed at making offshore outsourcing less attractive to U.S. businesses by increasing taxes for companies that outsource offshore or providing tax breaks for those that don't outsource work.
On its latter recommendation, the AeA is in line with Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan, who said at Boston College's recent Finance Conference that any government efforts to discourage overseas outsourcing could damage the U.S. economy instead of helping American workers.
"Time and again through our history, we have discovered that attempting merely to preserve the comfortable features of the present – rather than reaching for new levels of prosperity – is a sure path to stagnation," Greenspan said at the conference, where he also recommended increased emphasis on math and science education for children, as well as more job-retraining programs for adults.
The AeA's report also suggested that worker-retraining programs should be expanded to include software programmers and other high-tech workers. Most current federal and state programs are limited to those working in the manufacturing industry.
But some say that politicians must find ways to clamp down hard on offshore outsourcing soon, or risk losing votes in the next election.
"What exactly am I going to retrain for, a job in some fast-food joint?" said unemployed software developer Bob Jern, who's been out of work for 15 months.
"About the only job these profit-hungry, blood-sucking corporations aren't going to be able to outsource is the kind that requires you to physically be there in order to serve up those burgers and fries to customers."

When It Was Counting 7 Weeks (the 50th Day), not anything like the algebra of ש (or Π).
Earlier this week my co-blogger Theophrastus announced the coming of this Day, the arrival of the so-called "Shavuos and Pentecost." The difference between these two is generally taken today, that is in this day and age, as the difference between the arrival of the Torah, celebrated in Judaism, and the arrival of the Holy Spirit, celebrated in Christianity.
But the borrowing of Hebrew (and Aramaic) and Greek terms in transliteration (that is, in English spelling to try to retain the sounds of the original terms) obscures. Transliterating שבועות as simply "Shavuot" and Πεντηκοστή as merely "Pentecost" loses much. The whole emphasis of the holiday, the remembrance, is on counting. And yet in English, the now proper-nouns Shavuos and Pentecost, retain none of the numeric focus on the passage of time that the Hebrew and the Hebraic Hellene had. We might as well just use Algebraic variables: S and P, or better ש and Π.
When translators only simply merely transliterate, then footnotes are required to expand the original meanings. For example, Willis Barnstone, translating the New Testament Greek and "restoring" it into its Hebraic meanings, gives this footnote:
Barnstone gives this footnote after translating I Corinthians 16:8, this bit from Paul's letter to Greek reading diaspora Jewish Christians in Korinth. Paul's Greek goes like this:
Ἐπιμενῶ δὲ ἐν Ἐφέσῳ ἕως τῆς Πεντηκοστῆς
The King James Version translates that like this:
But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
And Barnstone then attempts to restore that like this:
Yet I will stay in Efesos till Shavuot.
This, to me, seems confusing. The Greek reader in Korinth would have read it more like this:
Yet I will stay in Ephesus till the "Fiftieth."
And the Greek reader would have understood this as a reference (in Hebraic Greek) for the (Hebrew) holiday of counted days, of the "Weeks."
One of the earliest texts that ties these two terms together is The Book of Tobit (Chapter 2, verse 1). In the Hebrew of the Dead Sea Scrolls, there is the reference to the festival, to the counted on holiday and festival, to the "Weeks." Likewise, in the Greek of the Septuagint, there's the reference, but the reference to the more specific counting of the days up to the "Fiftieth."
If the King James Version translators had had access to the DSSs, then likely they would have simply transliterated. The apt phrase rendered from Hebrew into their English would have gone something like this:
…. on the day of the feast of Shavuot …
The same KJV translators did find the Greek to translate (i.e., ἐν τῇ πεντηκοστῇ τῇ ἑορτῇ ἥ ἐστιν ἁγία ἑπτὰ ἑβδομάδων), but they did indeed simply merely only transliterate, like this:
… in the feast of Pentecost, which is the holy feast of the seven weeks …
A better translation of the Hebrew to English is the one by Florentino Garcia Martinez, who refuses to transliterate but does translate like this:
… on the day of the Feast of Weeks …
I still haven't found a true translation of the Hebraic Hellene (which is the same in both Greek versions) into English. A good one, I think, would go like this:
… in the feast of the "Fiftieth," which is the holy feast of the seven weeks …
Clearly, the LXX translators are giving a bit more explanation of the Day counted, the significance of the weeks and the number of them. And wouldn't English translators of the Hebrew also, and of the Hebraic Hellene too, do so well?

Are Faith-Filled Couples Happier?
From FOUNDATIONS Newsletter
Couples who make religion an important part of their marriage have less conflict.
David and Amy Olson did a national survey with a sample of over 21,000 couples in 1999. Part of their survey was questioning couples regarding their spirituality and how it affected their relationship with their spouse. According to their survey, one's spiritual life does have an impact on their marriage.
If you share a spiritual life with your spouse it tends to go along with a happy marriage. Happy couples tend to agree about how they express their spiritual beliefs. They find that shared beliefs bring them closer together, and they rely on their spiritual beliefs during difficult times.
According to Dr. Olson, "Their faith helps them focus on the positive aspects of each other and to encourage and respect each other. Their marriage is a sanctuary – a source of care, mutual protection, comfort, and refuge. When feelings change, their faith tides them over and sustains their relationship."
The Journal of Family Psychology (by Mahoney, et al, 1999) also reports that couples who make religion an important part of their marriage have less conflict, more verbal collaboration, greater adjustment to their marriage, and they see more benefits in their marriage.

Thank you Bob's Red Mill for sponsoring this post! All statements & opinions are that of Kleinworth & Co.
Lemon Blueberry Swirl Bundt Cake, a simple bundt cake recipe blending favorite spring flavors of lemon & blueberries. Great for Easter or Mother's Day!
Do you love lemon recipes? We are crazy for them in our house, especially when you combine them with blueberries. That lemon/blueberry combo makes everyone in our family so happy every time I create something new with them. Who can blame them, it's just so tasty! To me, it's like spring on a fork. I get so excited when our blueberry bush & lemon trees start producing fruit as the weather gets warmer. It creates an instant good mood for all of us & I can't wait to get baking with it all. I decided to celebrate the snow melting with this Lemon Blueberry Swirl Bundt Cake that is incredibly easy to make & soooooo delicious!
Lemon Blueberry Swirl Bundt Cake
I just love making bundt cakes. They look so fancy & everyone thinks you slaved away in the kitchen when you serve them. They just have this look about them that seems intimidating or difficult to make. Well, I'm here to tell you that this cake is almost as easy as a mix. So there's really no excuse to not make one yourself!
I always use top-notch ingredients in my baking recipes. I want the best I can give when serving my friends & family just like you do. Because quality is of the utmost importance to me, I use Bob's Red Mill Organic Unbleached All Purpose Flour. I like that it's not enriched with any additives. It produces well-textured cakes just as easy as it creates light & airy baked goods. Versatility is a must in my kitchen.
That swirl of blueberry through the center is so fun. You never know what the next piece will look like until you cut it.
The glaze is simple & priovides not only visual interest but just enough additional sweetness.
Look at those details from the pan. I love bundt cakes because the pan really makes the cake. They can be simple, which is elegant & understated or you can choose an elaborately detailed pan, which just adds to the wow-factor!

I only have one more poem entered in the contest. I'm going to wait a day or two before I post it because the poem was written by Ruth again. Instead, today I'm posting one of my poems from my novel Deception Peak. Well, actually it's two poems from both Deception Peak and Dragon Shield. Lexa Rose and I put them together for the book trailer.
The Ballad of the Dragon Shield
Alas, sweet prince, our story's long
For all the ages you've been gone
The dragon's might has overcome
Our village lost to evil's throne
Our people flee.
Our bodies bleed
Our forest cries,
Our soldiers die
Our hearts have ached our gladness yields
For thieves have seized our wondrous shield,
Thieves have seized our wondrous shield.
Deep in the cave the dragon's lair
The portal's bound the evil there
Until the prince makes good his word
None shall find our treasure.
O mourn for the loss of the child fair
Whose dreams float away on the midnight air
Our people flee.
Our bodies bleed
Our forest cries,
Our soldiers die
Our hearts have ached our gladness yields
For thieves have seized our wondrous shield,
Thieves have seized our wondrous shield.
He searched for his hope but his hope rides bare
On a horse that is stolen
On a sea that churns
Who once was beloved, bereaved of his own
Lament for the child so far from home.
Lament for the child so far from home.
Lexa is a remarkable young lady. When I talked to my friend and videographer Alex Chandler about doing a trailer for my book I asked him if he knew anyone who writes and sings music. He gave me Lexa's name and we made contact. I gave her the poem one day. The next evening she gave me the music, melody and four part harmony all by herself. You'll be listening to with a click of the button below.
Lexa and I made an album, her music my lyrics and this was the cover before we signed with PDMI Publishing LLC. If you happen to be one of the lucky ones that got that album with our little Kickstarter campaign, you have a one of a kind! I actually still have a few albums left.
Lexa's music is featured on Deception Peak's audio. You can hear a snippet of the audio with Matt Josdal on my website. Anyway…here is what she did with the poem that I wrote.

Practice Areas
CBP Ruling Revocations and Modifications: Apparel, Auto Parts, Electronics, High-Tech Goods
The following proposed or final revocations and modifications of U.S. Customs and Border Protection classification rulings are included in the Oct. 28, 2015, Customs Bulletin and Decisions. Comments on the proposed revocations and modifications are due no later than Nov. 27 and the final revocations and modifications will be effective for goods entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after Dec. 28.
An on-demand webinar from Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg covering the basics of tariff classification is available here.
Play Tables with Detachable Mobile Seats. CBP is proposing to reclassify play tables with detachable mobile seats as other toys labeled for use by persons under three years of age under HTSUS 9503.00.0071 (duty-free) rather than as a seat under HTSUS 9401.80.4045 (duty-free). CBP explains that the pedestal toy table imparts the essential character of the product because it predominates by its role in relation to the use of the goods as well as by bulk, weight, value and visual appearance. Ruling NY N074173 would be modified to reflect this change.
Women's Suit-Type Jackets and Pants. CBP is proposing to reclassify several styles of garment sets consisting of a women's suit-type jacket and pair of pants as suits under HTSUS 6204.13.2010 (35.3 cents/kg + 25.9 percent duty) rather than classifying the jackets and pants separately in HTSUS 6204.33.5010 (27.3 percent duty) and 6204.63.3510 (28.6 percent duty), respectively. CBP explains that these items qualify to be classified as suits because (a) both the jackets and pants of each style are of the same fabric construction, style, color and composition and (b) each jacket consists of at least four panels. Rulings NY N086736 and NY N086592 would be modified to reflect this change.
Auto Cylinder Lock Sets. CBP is proposing to classify components of automobile cylinder lock sets together as locks of a kind used on motor vehicles under HTSUS 8301.20.0060 (5.7 percent duty) rather than classifying the lock assembly/ignition switch/wire harness separately as electrical apparatus under HTSUS 8536.50.9065 (2.7 percent duty) and the actual locks and articles containing locks and keys under HTSUS 8301.20.0060. CBP explains that the separate items are considered goods put up in sets for retail sale and that the locks impart the essential character to these sets. Ruling NY I84093 would be revoked to reflect this change.
Hair Irons. CBP has issued ruling HQ H157778 to revoke ruling NY N060719 and modify rulings N025515 and N060721 and reclassify electric irons used to flatten or straighten hair as other hairdressing apparatus under HTSUS 8516.32.00 (3.9 percent duty) rather than as electric flat irons under HTSUS 8516.40.4000 (2.8 percent duty). CBP explains that the flatirons of subheading 8416.40 are irons used for pressing cloth and that by contrast the items at issue are in the nature of hairdressing apparatus.
Triathlon Short. CBP has issued ruling HQ H039658 to revoke ruling NY N007456 and reclassify a woman's triathlon racing short as other women's or girls' garments of manmade fibers under HTSUS 6114.30.3070 (14.9 percent duty) rather than as women's shorts of synthetic fibers under HTSUS 6104.63.2006 (28.2 percent duty). CBP explains that these items meet its consistently stated requirement for articles classified in heading 6114 to be limited to use in a particular sport, designed for use in a particular sport and worn only while participating in the sport.
Inkjet Printer/Cutter. CBP has issued ruling HQ H128416 to modify ruling NY N004132 and reclassify a wide format inkjet printer/cutter designed to produce outdoor graphics that are UV- and water-resistant as other ink jet printers under HTSUS 8443.32.10 (duty-free) rather than as other machinery under HTSUS 8477.80.00 (3.1 percent duty). CBP explains that the principal function of the product is to print graphics on a variety of materials and that it should therefore be classified as if consisting only of the printer.
Battery Backups. CBP has issued ruling HQ H192478 to revoke ruling N093423 and reclassify two lithium power sources designed to provide ten years of battery backup power for certain semiconductors as lithium primary cells and primary batteries under HTSUS 8506.50.00 (2.7 percent duty) rather than as static converters under HTSUS 8504.40.9540 (1.5 percent duty). CBP explains that these items are not considered static converters because they generate electrical energy by means of a chemical reaction involving lithium cells. Instead, the items are to be classified as if consisting only of that component or as being that machine that performs the principal function, which CBP states is to provide a source of current, which in turn emanates from the lithium battery.
Mobile Phone Kits. CBP has issued ruling HQ H252291 to revoke ruling NY N049055 and state that mobile phone components (including handsets, batteries, battery covers, chargers and instruction manuals) imported in bulk but packaged separately are not classifiable as unassembled sets in HTSUS heading 8517 because the manual and charger are not parts of a cellular telephone and are not put up together with the handsets and batteries for retail sale. Instead, the handsets, batteries and battery covers are classified as telephones for cellular or other wireless networks under HTSUS 8517.12.00 (duty-free), the battery chargers are classified as static converters for telecommunication apparatus under HTSUS 8504.40.85 (duty-free) and the instruction manuals are classified as printed matter under HTSUS 4901.99.00 (duty-free).
Electronic Learning Devices. CBP is reclassifying various electronic learning devices for children as electrical machines and apparatus having individual functions under HTSUS 8543.70.96 (2.6 percent duty) rather than as toys under HTSUS 9503 (duty-free). CBP explains that these devices fall into the category of "surrogate instructor" (i.e., they are intended to help children learn the same basic skills taught in school) and thus are not considered educational toys for tariff purposes. Ruling HQ H039058 is revoking rulings NY E84480, NY F85877, NY I84192, NY J84806, NY L85697 and NY L86633 and modifying ruling NY E86264 to reflect this change.
Intestinal Drug. CBP is reclassifying Linzess®, a drug indicated for the treatment of certain intestinal conditions, as toxins under HTSUS 3002.90.51 (duty-free) rather than as other medicaments under HTSUS 3004.90.9160. CBP explains that the active ingredient of this drug is produced by genetically modifying an enterotoxin and maintains some of the effect of an enterotoxin. Ruling HQ H250309 will revoke ruling NY N233631 to reflect this change.
Sliced and Diced Potatoes. CBP is reclassifying sliced and diced potatoes treated with sodium bisulfite to preserve their color as dried potatoes, whether or not cut or sliced but not further prepared, under HTSUS 0712.90.30 (2.3 cents/kg duty) rather than as potatoes prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid under HTSUS 2005.20.00. CBP explains that potatoes treated with sodium bisulfite can be put to all the same uses as fresh potatoes and thus do not meet the definition of "prepared" or "preserved." Ruling HQ H243645 will modify rulings HQ 966202, NY 189048 and HQ 954208 to reflect this change.

McDonald's. Fish sticks. Disneyland. Coke in cans. These are just some of the American institutions that debuted the year I was born, 1955.
Legos and Velcro also were invented that year. Guinness published its first book of world records. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were born. And, in December, just weeks before my birth, a black woman, Rosa Parks, refused to give up her seat to a white man on a bus in Alabama – and many people cheered.
I was born into what would surely be an era of progress and enlightenment. The country was proud and confident. We'd just trounced the Nazis and the Japs (no longer politically correct, I know) in World War II, ending things abruptly in 1945 with our unveiling of the nuclear bomb.
Upon returning home, U.S. soldiers found a country about to experience unprecedented economic prosperity. They got jobs, married and built houses in the suburbs. Our dads worked; our moms had babies.
In 1957, U.S. births reached a record 4.3 million. That year, the U.S. government defined people born between 1946 and 1964 as "baby boomers." Nearly 80 million babies were born in the United States during those 18 years, more than had ever been born before or since in any period of our history. By 1964, Baby Boomers made up 40 percent of the U.S. population. We still make up about 25 percent today.
My sisters, born in 1945 and 1948, are what are sometimes called Early Boomers. People born in the late '50s and early '60s are sometimes called Late Boomers. I'm right in the middle, although I relate more to the Early Boomers. One indicator is if you remember the JFK assassination or were eligible for the draft during the Vietnam War. If you don't or weren't, you're a Late Boomer.
To say I am an aging Baby Boomer is really redundant because if you are a Baby Boomer at all, and you're alive, you're aging, or aged. The youngest of us have turned 50 while our oldest members are pushing 70. We will soon become the largest group of welfare recipients in U.S. history. Our sheer numbers threaten the solvency of Social Security and Medicare.
We had great ideals. "Make love, not war." We had a level of social consciousness that the "older generation," i.e., our parents, didn't have. We would make the world a better place.
Did we succeed? Frankly, I'm a little disappointed.
Marijuana is just now becoming legal in some states and is still illegal in most. Are you kidding me? Four and a half decades after Woodstock and we still haven't gotten this done?
I had hoped that by now we would have progressed enough as a civilization to make war closer to obsolete. I thought by 2015 countries would have found better ways to settle differences than still seeing who can kill the most people.
Remember when we made going to the moon so commonplace that it became downright boring in the 1970s? I thought we'd be colonizing planets by now.
But my purpose is not to criticize. It is to re-examine and reflect while I still have all my marbles. Because let's face it, Boomers: our best days are behind us.
"Back in the day" we didn't have cell phones, kids. There was no Internet. There were no video games. We rode bikes without helmets and in cars without seat belts while our parents chain-smoked with the windows rolled up.
Somehow, some of us have lived to tell about it. So sit back, relax, take a toke if you're still into that sort of thing, and allow me to reminisce. It was a great ride. You just may not remember much of it. Perhaps I can help jog your memory.

Now Playing1810-1811 | Calls for War
- The teacher will have the quote "A single twig breaks, but the bundle of twigs is strong," written on the board. The teacher will read the quote aloud, and explain to the class that they will be watching parts of a documentary that contains information on Tecumseh, a Native American who spoke those words while leading a fight for the rights of his people.
- The teacher will play The War of 1812 segments.
- After the documentary, the teacher will show the class a tray of twigs. On the tray there will be 15 single twigs (Popsicle sticks) mixed with 15 bundles of twigs (5 Popsicle sticks tied together). The teacher will randomly give each student either a single twig or a bundle of twigs.
- The teacher will then ask students to test and discuss the strength of the bundle of twigs versus the strength of the single twig. The teacher and students will then discuss how the "strength of the twigs" is really a metaphor for the strength of all Native Americans standing and fighting together, without surrendering their lands to the Americans or the British.
- The teacher will then split the class into 3 groups: the Native Americans, the British, and the Americans. The teacher will remind the students that Tecumseh had earned the deepest respect from all three groups, as was described in the documentary. Working together, each group will have five minutes to write a quick description of how or why Tecumseh had earned such high praise from their group.
- The teacher will then remind the class how over time, the Native Americans had been uprooted and moved, and they were separated as a people. In one of his last attempts to stand up for the rights of his people, Tecumseh set out to gather the heads of all Native American tribes to come together to fight as one.
- To incorporate current events, the teacher will describe issues that are on-going between Native people and local or federal governments. For example, in the early part of the 21st century Native Americans were fighting for their treaty rights against paying state taxes in New York.
- The teacher might distribute current information about such on-going disputes. It would be important to explain very specifically that tribal heads met for the first time in 200 years in 2010 to discuss the issue of disputes between Native People and other sovereign governments.
- Students will write a summary, supported by historical facts, on what effect the teachings of Tecumseh had on the Native Americans in the War of 1812 and what effect Tecumseh's teachings might have on Native American tribes in the contemporary world.
Assessment Task
The students will have a constructive debate to voice their opinions on the subject. They will also write a summary about Tecumseh's effect on his people and the current Native tribes.
