The Heart of Communication
Communication is interesting because it plays such an important function in our lives and yet it is uncommon for people to really understand what it is and how it works. On an individual level communication plays a key role in helping us to develop a sense of belonging, security, and identity. On a group level it is necessary to complete complex tasks, organize behaviors, and respond to different circumstance.
Communication is super important for wellbeing because it is what connects us to each other. To be unable to communicate is to be isolated and alone. It is also to have to face all of life's challenges with only the resources you yourself can supply which for most people are fairly limited. People aren't meant to exist in complete isolation, and so as humans we need to be able to communicate in order to experience health, security, and fulfillment.
Unfortunately for us, communication is one of those skills that we all assume we know how to do well and therefore don't go through the trouble of learning any more about it. The reason this is unfortunate is because if you spend a day observing how people interact you would quickly come to the realization that in spite of this confidence many people completely miss each other during interactions. It is not uncommon to listen to a conversation between two people and realize they are having two completely different conversations. It is even less common to hear arguments erupt in which one person swears they said one thing and the other swears that it was something completely different.
The truth is that even though we rely on communication to survive and have numerous ways to communicate with each other, as a species we are not very good at it. It's okay though, communication is actually a lot more complex than we realize and when you think about the complexity it is understandable that we would struggle with it.
The concept of communication can be broken down into a number of components.
First you have the vehicle or mode of communication. This describes how communication is taking place. Are you talking? Writing? Texting? Reading each other's body language? Singing? All of these are modes of communication. In fact any form of expression is actually a form of communication—whenever we express ourselves we are communicating something with the people around us.
Next you have a sender or transmitter and a receiver. The sender is the person who is creating the expression. They are the one who is sending out the message. The receiver is the person who is listening or receiving the message.
Now here is the tricky part, the sender and receiver both come with their own perspectives, histories, cultures, emotions, and priorities. These might not seem important but they play a huge role in both the way messages are sent and received. Even if communication was strictly about the choice of words in a statement (it almost never is) those words are going to be interpreted through the lens of the person putting them together and the person receiving them and if those lenses are not in alignment one sentence can have two completely different meanings. When you add the fact that we often include emotional undertones and subtext the process of coding and decoding messages can become extremely difficult.
You get the idea. Communication is complex and it's very easy to misinterpret what someone says or to have what you say be misunderstood.
At this point I would love to give you a list of techniques to make you a more effective communicator. I will give you some tips which can sometimes help to facilitate clearer communication, but before I do that, I want to make something very clear. That something is that there is no standard way of communicating that will be well received and understood all the time. The reason for this is because every person that you meet speaks their own unique language. There is a lot of cross over between people with similar backgrounds, understandings, and experiences but since every person has had a different experience, they will interpret messages differently. The heart of communication goes back to the reasons we need communication which I talked about in the beginning. Communication connects us. Communicating is about understanding the person you are communicating with. Once you understand them you are able to see their perspective, take the context of their expression into consideration, and make sense of that expression in the current environment.
The best way to improve your ability to communicate is to take time to get to know who you are and to genuinely seek to understand the person you are communicating with. This means to listen—not only to the words—but to the entire person behind the words. Only when you have a good idea of where the other person is coming from can you be sure that you are interpreting their message correctly and create your response in terms that they will also be able to interpret. Imagine that you were trying to describe a rainbow to someone who is colorblind, but you didn't know that they were colorblind. Can you imagine the difference in terms you would use when you found that information out? We do this to each other all the time though. We will talk about something that is obvious, common sense, or clear to us and assume that it is also obvious, common sense, and clear to the other person without providing the context for that person or stopping to assess if that person would have had an experience similar enough to share our own view. If we took the time to understand the other person's perspective we could speak to them in terms they are familiar with in order to bridge the gap of context and create understanding. Of course, this can only be done if we actually get to know each other and it is why understanding the other person as a full person is crucial to also being understood by them.
Okay, now that I've emphasized the heart of communication and the importance of relating to each other as people and not just worrying about words, here is a list of techniques that can sometimes make communication a little clearer:
· Listen first so that you know where the other person is coming from
· Use precise language that the other person is familiar with
· Pay attention to context and emotion
· Clarify and ask clarifying questions to make sure that you are both on the same page (this includes re-stating what the other person said in your own words)
· Do not start thinking about how you will respond while the other person is still talking (you can't put your response together and listen simultaneously, if you are thinking about what you want to say next you aren't listening)
· Provide clear examples if you are explaining something complex or that the other person is unfamiliar with—make sure that those examples draw on something that person is familiar with.
· If you do misunderstand something then admit that you misunderstood it and ask for clarification
That's all for this post. If you have other communication tips please feel free to comment them.
Thank you for reading. Have a great night.

The Canadian Association of Rallysport (CARS), organizer of the Canadian Rally Championship, and Rallye de Charlevoix, are pleased to announce today the official presence of the event in the final calendar of the 2019 championship.
This weekend, the final round of the 2018 Eastern Canadian Rally Championship (ECRC) was held as part of the traditional Rally of the Tall Pines, situated in the region of Bancroft, Ontario. The event is widely known for its challenging conditions and this 2018 edition was no different. Contested in the rain and on icy roads, this year was no exception to the rule for the tight battles at the front of the pack.
The Rallye de Charlevoix, the penultimate event of the 2018 Eastern Canadian Rally Championship (ECRC), was held this weekend and despite the challenging weather conditions, it was filled with excitement and put on a great show for the thousands of spectators on hand. In the end, le Quebec duo of Maxime Labrie and Anik Barrette claimed the victory in their Subaru WRX STI. For the driver, originally from La Prairie, this was his fifth win in Charlevoix, a new event record that previous held by decorated Audi driver Frank Sprongl, who had won four times in the 1990s.
Sixth of eight rounds in the 2018 Eastern Canadian Rally Championship (ECRC), the Rallye Défi took place this past weekend in the Montpellier (MRC Papineau, Outaouais) region of Quebec. The event was held under perfect conditions, under a blue sky as far as the eye could see, and crowned Jean-Sébastien Besner and his co-driver Yvan Joyal as ECRC winners in their Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.
The Ledwidge Lookoff Rally, fifth of eight rounds in the 2018 Eastern Canadian Rally Championship (ECRC), presented by Halifax's Steele Subaru and held in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, saw Jonathan Conrad and co-driver Tim Dine take home the victory in their Subaru WRX STI.
The fourth round of the 2018 Eastern Canadian Rally Championship (ECRC), the Black Bear Rally, was for the first time contested on roads in the Catchacoma region, north of Peterborough. This change of scenery turned out to be favourable for the Quebec duo comprised of Sébastien Clark and Yanick Marin, in their Subaru WRX STI. This was the first overall victory for the team, who are still gaining experience in the sport of performance rallying.
Jean-Sébastien Besner, the 2016 Eastern Canadian Rally Champion, added a long-awaited national victory to his list of accomplishments in his twenty years of car racing by winning the Rallye Baie-des-Chaleurs this past weekend. Accompanied by his co-driver Yvan Joyal, the Montreal driver brought his Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution to an overall first place as well as a victory in the Eastern Canadian Rally Championship, after an faultless weekend of racing.
After a three-month hiatus, this weekend, the Eastern Canadian Rally Championship (ECRC) presented the second of eight rounds that make up the 2018 season. On magnificent forest roads southwest of Ottawa, Quebeckers Jean-Sébastien Besner and Marc-André Lamontagne drove their Mitsubishi Evo to victory at the Lanark Highlands Forest Rally.
February 4, 2018.- The traditional opening round of Canadian and Eastern Canadian rally calendars, the Rallye Perce-Neige, took place this past weekend in Maniwaki, Québec. As the first of eight rounds of the 2018 Eastern Canadian Rally Championship (ECRC), this challenging event saw multiple lead changes on the snow and ice-covered roads, lined with only minimal snowbanks. In the end, victory went to brothers André and René Leblanc, of the Gaspé region of Quebec, in their Subaru WRX STI.

You've probably heard of Kindle Unlimited. It's the Amazon program where for £7.99 a month you have unlimited access to a selection of over 1 million books. Not every book available on Amazon is part of this and there is a limit to how many books you can borrow at a time – I think it's 20 – but if you're willing to troll through what they have, it's worth checking out.
As part of the McDonalds monopoly, I got a 2 month free trial and a month has passed so I'd do a little write up.
The Number of Books Rented: 12
The Number of Books Finished: 4
These were all books that I had already marked that I wanted to read on GoodReads. They were all books that I wanted to read but I didn't think I was likely to buy. So I'm glad I finally got the chance to check them out. But it kind of feels like a lot of the books on this program aren't…well, they aren't the best. That doesn't mean every book is bad
A few of them on there I've bought, read and enjoyed. And some of them I'm glad that I finally got the chance to read. I've downloaded a few more now that I'm hoping will be awesome and plan to give a chance so I've not given up on it.
There's definitely a large selection of books so there should plenty of choice for everyone. And it definitely means you'll always have something to read.
I'm just not sure it's for me. I mean, £7.99 is a little cheaper than buying a single book I want so giving up on books I borrowed doesn't make me feel as bad but I'm also pickier when I choose to buy books which means I'm more likely to read them.
I think if you've got the money and you're willing to hunt through a lot of less-than stellar books then it's probably worth it but I don't have that spare money. I'm definitely going to enjoy the rest of the trial but after that…I'll just stick to buying books or renting from the library.

Coastal Journal - 4H, FFA & Family
It takes a community
For Maddie Neuschwander and her family, 4H and FFA are a natural part of their life. The values and lessons learned from raising animals or making presentations are just a small part of the positive impact these organizations have on their life. It's all about community. Whether it's raising a steer for market or tending to a hedgehog for the county fair, there's a togetherness that naturally happens when you're working toward a goal.
Organizations like 4H and FFA are a place for kids to learn responsibility, test their boundaries and instill a confidence that will carry them through life.
Coastal has long been a sponsor of 4H and FFA because we believe in the values and education that comes from working toward the goals these kinds of organizations help set for kids and their families.
Over the next few months we'll be highlighting some of the families that dedicate themselves to the hard work of introducing the value of our agricultural heritage to the next generation. We're proud to be a part of the community.
Frequently asked Questions
What is FFA?
The Future Farmers of America was founded in 1925. It is a national organization to help students become interested and involved in food, fiber, natural resource industries, including agriculture.
What is 4-H?
4-H stands for Head, Heart, Hands, and Health. It is an informal learning-by-doing education program for young people. It is headed by professional and volunteer staff.
What are 4-H animals?
4-H animals include nearly all domesticated and livestock animals, including cows, sheep, dogs, cats, rabbits, and mice.
Do you have to sell your 4-H animals?
Participants are not required to sell their animals, but it is part of the ongoing and economic foundation for most participants. Selling an animal helps fund the next project, much like professional agricultural businesses.
What is the difference between 4H and FFA?
While 4-H is coordinated locally through county governments or by volunteers, FFA is usually part of a school district planned agricultural science program.
What animals can you raise in FFA?
Livestock options include small animals. These may include dogs, cats, and rabbits.

Red Bluff may get permanent public works chief
Red Bluff's City Council will consider whether to appoint its current interim director of public works to the post permanently.
Robin Kampmann, who has headed the department since Bruce Henz retired in August 2016, is the candidate City Manager Rick Crabtree will put forward at Tuesday's City Council meeting.
Kampmann took over on an interim basis as the director of public works and city engineer, Crabtree wrote in his briefing for the council. She wants to stay employed with her current position at NorthStar Engineering, but has agreed to work on contract for $9,839.90 per month while remaining with NorthStar, Crabtree wrote.
That saves the city about $1,600 per month over a full-time director, he wrote.
The meeting begins at 7 p.m. at 555 Washington St. in Red Bluff.

Blogfest Update
Blogfest Update
HI all — since we haven't quite set a time, I've made emergency reservations at both the Elephant and Castle and the Fish House, both for 5:30-ish. Those can of course be changed or cancelled. The downside is that neither is in the bar area proper; the upside is that it might not be as loud/smoky. The guy at the Fish House said that if we wanted to get in and get a table for happy hour (3:30-6:00), we'd need a scout or two to get there early.
So … I could use some feedback.
- Are the day/time ok?
- should we meet at a conference site and walk together or meet at the restaurant? If the latter, we can act like table vultures together if we want to sit in a bar area.
- Is there anything else I should have thought of?
Thanks — and e-mail me if you have any questions. Remember, the Blogfest is open to all Bloggers, the only "rule" being that, if a person blogs Pseudonymously, everyone alse attending will respect that person's wishes about whether or not their cover gets blown!
Don't forget to check the weather reports, folks … Seattle is having a little cold snap at the moment!
Another Update
Ralph Luker at Cliopatra has graciously made the call on the meeting place for us — the registration desk at the Sheraton at around 5:30. And given us tell-tale clues for recognizing each other:
a) have extravagant academic hair;
b) are wearing a mouse pad instead of a name tag;
c) appear to be chanting "Sharon Howard is a goddess";
d) have a cup of coffee in one hand and a little stack of cookies in the other; or
e) are wearing pajamas instead of your usual conventioneering get-up
I will not be wearing pajamas, as I do not yet have tenure, but I will probably have a coffee cup of the large variety in my hand!
First Classes
First classes today went reasonably well, and I haven't lost any classes yet, now that I've got double-digit enrollment. We start on Magna Carta in the surveys tomorrow and I have to put together a background lecture on the French Revolution and Liberalism and Conservatism tomorrow. DInner Wednesday night with a friend coming in early for the conference! Woohoo!
4 January, 2005 4:53 am
Sounds great! What if we meet at the hotel lobby to walk over just before 5:30 and anyone who can't get there then meet us at whichever place we decide? Should I wear my "I'm blogging this" t-shirt? Just kidding; how will we recognize one another? any ideas for a 'secret signal' so we don't blow anyone's cover?
4 January, 2005 5:15 am
Well, I did post a picture of myself — hehe! Seriously, that's a good question. I suggest we meet up at the Sheraton. Let me check the layout and I'll get back to you. Obvious places are near the message center and near the hall o' temptation, but those are supposedly at the convention center. I think I'll throw this open for ideas. According to Cliopatra, though, two of our named bloggers have brown hair, beards, and glasses …

Previously I noted about the de-facto deregulation around Turkey's financial industry with an example of financing a shareholder business by a Islamic finance foundation. In this article, I will focus on deteriorating fundamentals enough to make concerns around the way the industry goes rise.
Key fundamentals build a disincentive case
Fundamentally the year about to finish was absolutely a failure for Turkish banks. This statement is to easy to be supported by the numbers. Here is chart showing us how the efficiency at generating profits decrease in years.
The period between 2004 and 2010 was clearly was a heyday with a average return on equity (RoE) ratio of 18%. After that a RoE has never been observed above 15%.
RoE ratio is an important measure of company's earnings performance, because it demonstrates how effectively their money is being employed. In general, RoE ratios in the 15-20% range is considered as representing attractive levels of investment quality by financial analysts. By this, one can suggest that Turkish banks are not effective at generation profits, therefore not attractive for investors.
Compared Turkey to other emerging markets, how does Turkish banks do? The answer is not well. South Africa, Russian and Indonesian banks are with RoE ratios of 15.5%, 19% and 20%, respectively. Even within Turkey, the banking industry really underperformed compared to the other industries such as telecoms, automotive with RoE ratios around 25%.
Generating insufficient profit is not the only trouble, also the capital adequacy ratios are telling us an ugly story. For a long time, Turkish financial services industry has been known with its reassuring capital structure. The asset quality has usually been a building block of a supportive case, but not anymore as the chart below shows the whole story.
The Macroeconomic Effects
Due to its financial system backed by sound fundamentals, Turkey was among the limited number of economies who was able to recover fast. Thanks to their generating profit ability and high capital adequacy, Turkish banks conveniently could rollover the consumer and business loans that prevent the whole economy from entering a long-term recession.
Turkish corporates have a huge short term external debt stock. Unluckily, Turkish Lira was hit by corruption probe including Cabinet ministers. Rising political risks may lead the economy to enter another recession period, but this time with a weaker financial system due to reasons I mention above.
Next, I will post some scenario analysis with possible outcomes and why I think a crisis like the one that occurred in South Korea in late 90s might crash Turkey.

23 Sep Vee is a 26-year-old African-American woman presenting with various symptoms of a psychiatric disorder. She has a history of non-suicidal self-injury that include cutting her arms and legs.
You should respond to at least two of your peers by extending, refuting/correcting, or adding additional nuance to their posts. Your responses must be substantive and not just agreeing with someone's work. You need to add by explaining more, refuting a point or correcting a point. a minimum of 150 words and one reference with in text citation, one reference for each respond.
Discussion 1 George
Describe the presenting problems
Vee is a 26-year-old African-American woman presenting with various symptoms of a psychiatric disorder. She has a history of non-suicidal self-injury that include cutting her arms and legs. Her actions indicate she has anger issues and impulsivity observed through buying lavish gifts for her partner. Vee reports issues with concentration whereby she zones out in the middle of conversations and while at work. She has emotional dysregulation characterized by feelings of doing harm and regretting immediately. Other issues observed in the patient include risky behaviors like multiple sexual partners and suicidal thoughts.
Generate a primary and differential diagnosis using the DSM5 and ICD 10 codes.
According to the presenting symptoms, Vee has a borderline personality disorder. The DSM-5 describes borderline personality disorder (DSM-5 301.83 (F60.3) as a pattern of instability in interpersonal relationships, self-image, and affect (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Patients with this disorder present with an intense fear of abandonment even when the patient is expecting separation. Affected individuals often exhibit changes in relationships and they will either strongly love or hate partners. Another common feature is a strong sense of emptiness that translate to self-harm behaviors like cutting, picking, burning, or suicidal ideations. Impulsivity is a feature of borderline personality disorder that sees patients do self-damaging acts like reckless driving, unsafe sex, unwise spending, or substance abuse (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Vee presents with anger issues, impulsivity, disturbed self-image, intense fear of abandonment, self-harm, and suicidal ideations that are consistent with those with a borderline personality disorder.
Differential diagnosis is important for distinguishing borderline personality disorder from other mental illnesses like bipolar spectrum disorders. The first differential diagnosis is bipolar disorder because it is characterized by changes in mood leading to outcomes like frustration, separation, and anger. However, mood changes in borderline personality are short-lived and the oscillation is frequent (Perrotta, 2020). Post-traumatic stress disorder is another differential whereby the signs of anxiety, fear, and anger are prominent. This diagnosis is different from borderline because events leading to the signs are evident and often recent (Perrotta, 2020). Other differentials may include schizophrenia, somatoform disorder, and narcissistic personality disorder.
Discuss which cluster the primary diagnosis belongs to
Borderline personality disorder belongs to Cluster B of the ten personality disorders. It is often referred to as the dramatic, emotional, and erratic cluster (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Cluster B also comprises disorders like antisocial personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, and histrionic personality disorder. The key features of diseases from this cluster are problems with impulse control and emotional deregulation.
Formulate and prioritize a treatment plan.
Although personality disorders are considered to be the most difficult to manage, the use of psychotropic drugs and psychotherapy can best serve to improve the patient's condition. The primary goal of treatment is to reduce intense emotional reactions, improve impulse control and minimize or control self-injurious behaviors. Regarding pharmacological treatment, I will prescribe olanzapine 5mg orally once daily and consider increasing the dosage to 10mg after two weeks. Olanzapine is a second-generation antipsychotic drug whose efficacy for managing traits like impulsivity, aggression, anxiety, and psychotic symptoms are well-known (Gartlehner et al., 2021). The second step will involve referral to a psychotherapist for dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). This approach is supported by literature to be the most effective in managing emotional dysregulation and reduced impulse control (Reddy & Vijay, 2017). DBT uses a series of strategies and involves patients in a training aimed at increasing self-awareness and change.

Discussion 2 Rafael
The patient (Vee), a 26-year-old African American woman, presents various mental health symptoms. These issues include non-suicidal self-injury attempts, chronic suicidal ideation, reckless sexual activity with strangers, unwarranted spending, extreme mood shifts, inappropriate anger, chronic boredom, and impulsiveness. Her repetitive suicidal behavior ranges from self-mutilation on her legs and arms since her teenage years to an attempted suicide on two occasions, one as a teenager and the most recent being six months ago. Vee describes that she is sometimes impulsive and will occasionally buy her partner lavish gifts and act in a caring manner towards him. However, she sometimes lashes out and will express inappropriate anger towards him. This is followed by regretful feelings and panic at the thought that he could leave her. Vee also reports having extreme mood shifts, which she describes as a pattern of constant changes in her clothing style, hobbies, social group, and jobs. Lastly, she reports feelings of chronic boredom, which are portrayed as the constant zoning out while working or during conversations.
Based on the presenting problems, the primary diagnosis is that Vee suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder. The DSM5 describes this disorder as a complicated pattern of unstable interpersonal relationships, moods, and a sense of self marked with a heightened sense of impulsiveness. To diagnose this disorder, the patient should manifest at least two personality impairments in self-directionality, intimacy, empathy, and identity (Perrotta, 2020). Similarly, they should exhibit at least four pathological personality traits. These may include hostility, impulsiveness, reckless behavior, disinhibition, depressive behavior, separation anxiety, intense panic and nervousness, and emotional liability. Based on ICD 10, an individual exhibiting this disorder usually portrays impulsiveness, an unpredictable mood, frequent mood shifts, and constant conflict with others when criticized or repressed (Perrotta, 2020).
The differential diagnosis for the presenting issues is that Vee could have bipolar disorder. First and foremost, bipolar disorder is often characterized by constant mood shifts ranging from mania to depression which is also a characteristic of borderline personality disorder. Secondly, bipolar disorder patients exhibit intense feelings of guilt and worthlessness, and one will often zone out or get distracted easily. Thirdly, bipolar patients suffer from recurrent suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts (Bayes et al., 2019). Lastly, bipolar patients exhibit impulsivity, resulting in reckless sexual activity and unwarranted spending.
The presenting symptoms in this case study reveal that the patient likely has a borderline personality disorder, our primary disorder. Based on the DSM5, this disorder is classified as a cluster B personality disorder (Perrotta, 2020). Typically, patients exhibit impulsivity, emotional dramatization, and unpredictable behavior in this cluster. Usually, this cluster includes disorders that portray erratic and dramatic behaviors (Stern, 2016). With borderline personality disorder, patients exhibit a recurring fear of abandonment which could be imagined or real. Secondly, patients often display self-mutilating behavior and repetitive suicidal behavior. Thirdly, patients exhibit self-damaging behavior portrayed by a heightened sense of impulsiveness in the form of unnecessary spending, reckless sexual activity, binge eating, and substance abuse. Fourthly, patients display inappropriate anger and recurring outbursts (Perrotta, 2020). At times patients may suffer from chronic boredom and intense feelings of emptiness. Further, they may experience identity problems and dramatic changes in personal values, goals, and interests.
As described in the case study, the patient exhibits cluster B symptoms of borderline personality disorder. To treat this disorder, Vee should undergo Dialectical behavioral therapy, which is one of the most effective treatment methods for this disorder. Usually, this treatment undertakes a collaborative systems approach by incorporating all aspects of the patient's behaviors (Perrotta, 2020). The therapy teaches the patient coping skills since it recognizes that the negative behaviors associated with this order are learned. Further, this therapy helps the patient to learn how to recognize negative behaviors and feelings beforehand so that one can deal with them outright. In essence, this treatment approach applies empathy and understanding to teach its patients coping skills (Perrotta, 2020). Over time, with this therapy, Vee can learn to cope with situations better and reduce her reliance on unsafe and self-injury behavior.

Last week, King Sunny Ade's daughter got married, Kim Kardashian launched her Mrs. West bridal makeup collection and more. Here's all the wedding news you missed last week.
King Sunny Ade's daughter got married last weekend on the 25th of May 2019 at an event planned by Tessallure Events. We saw this cute father-daughter dance moment from #TheAJs as the bride danced with her father, KSA to one of our favourite songs ever – Nel Oliver's Baby Girl.

Nigerian footballer and Leicester City player, Wilfred Ndidi had his traditional wedding to his fiancee, Chidinma on Friday, the 24th of May 2019. We shared photos from their #FortunateNdid19 pre-wedding shoot by George Okoro Weddings and traditional wedding by Bedge Pictures.
Kim Kardashian announced the launch of her brand new bridal makeup collection tagged 'Mrs. West'. According to Kim, the collection is inspired by the makeup look Makeup by Mario created on her wedding day. The collection launched on Kim and Kanye's 5th wedding anniversary, Friday, the 24th of May 2019 and a lot of products sold out in less than 24 hours.
Nigerian photographer, Lakin Ogunbanwo is currently showcasing a new photographic series tagged 'e wá wo mi' (come look at me) at the WHATIFTHEWORLD gallery in Cape Town until the 8th of June 2019. The series explores the culture surrounding Nigerian brides and marriage ceremonies.
We also met the Nigerian teenagers who want to raise the age of consent in Nigeria from 11 to 18. 15-year-old Kudirat Abiola, 15-year-old Temitayo Asuni and 16-year-old Susan Ubogu, who were featured on CNN as part of their As Equals series, want to change the law on child marriage in Nigeria. Their campaign NeverYourFault is specifically aimed at a clause in Section 29 of the Nigerian constitution that they say backs underage marriage. Their online petition (already signed by over 131,000 people) asks lawmakers to raise the age of consent from 11 to 18 years, a change they believe would criminalize child marriage in Nigeria.
These schoolgirls want to end child marriage in Nigeria. So they're fighting to change the country's constitution. https://t.co/TSJnu1WZF5— CNN Africa (@CNNAfrica) May 25, 2019
We encourage our readers to sign this petition, in an effort to raise the age of consent in Nigeria, reduce child marriage in Nigeria, make the constitution clearer and ensure that the law is enforced all over the country.

Nollywood actor, Oyetoro Hafiz (popularly known as Saka) celebrated his 16th wedding anniversary to his wife, Olaide Saidat on the 24th of May 2019. The actor shared the post below on Instagram with the caption;
Today, (May 24 2019), sixteen years ago, Olaide Saidat said "yes" and we became husband and wife. But I have a regret. In my life, the only regret I have is that I got married to her just only sixteen years ago and not earlier than that.
It has been sixteen years of loving and mature understanding. Sixteen years of sharing same vision, dreams, aspirations as a result of divine love. We have been moving from glorious heights to glorious heights. Every time that I consider the trend of things when I got married to this woman sixteen years ago, I always regret I didn't marry her earlier, much earlier. Maybe thirty years ago, forty years ago or even fifty years ago. Well better late than never.
I thank ALLAH for granting me the grace to marry this wonderful, superb, and beautiful mother of our precious kids. Glory be to ALLAH for HIS grace and favour. Please kindly join us to celebrate our sixteenth wedding anniversary. Wishing you all a divinely blessed weekend. … IT IS WELL

A look at a frightening condition that plagues thousands: sleep paralysis.
A documentary-horror film exploring the phenomenon of sleep paralysis through the eyes of eight very different people.
They often find themselves trapped between the sleeping and waking worlds, totally unable to move but aware of their surroundings while being subject to disturbing sights and sounds. A strange element to these visions is that despite the fact that they know nothing of one another, many see similar ghostly "shadow men." This is one of many reasons people insist this is more than just a sleep disorder.
This documentary digs deep into not only the particulars of these eight people's uncanny experiences, but it also explores their search to understand what they've gone through and how it's changed their lives.
"In the faces of these men and women, ranging in age from their 20s to their 40s and spread out everywhere from Los Angeles to Manchester, you can see the genuine terror they suffered — and, in some cases, continue to suffer." — Rene Rodrigues, Miami Herald

Cookie Crisp from Balanced Los Angeles via a Balanced sales rep on 12/22/2020. THC tested out to 32.92%. This was gifted to me but I believe it averages 45-60$ pre-tax in the shops. Having had a pretty decent experience with their Macaron, when Balanced reached out and asked if I was interested in giving their Cookie Crisp a shot, I was absolutely on board to give it a go. These portly buds are mostly a mix of forest and army greens coupled with veins of deep rich aubergine, intense flurries of golden brown pistils, and an omnipresent coating of egg cream and yellowed triches.
The nose out of the jar is a sweet mustiness with a slightly peppery/spice cabinet edge. Busting open a bud there's no real discernible difference, it hits exactly like the jar smell, and doesn't amp up any at all. Breaking it down by hand, the grinds have a very subtle fruity sweetness similar to that of an apple peel with a bit of a flat vanilla cream backing, while I found a musty chlorophyll scent inundated my fingertips. Also I should note the buds feel desiccated somewhat compared to the first time I handled them, so while this jar definitely looks sleek, it didn't seem to maintain the herb as well as some of the other packaging I keep in the same environment. The dry pull on the joint has a lightly sweet and spiced floral although it's very distant and vague. The inhale is mostly smooth and on both the bong and the joint has a light sweet musty floral, although on the joint it also has this muted pastry backend, and it started to get slightly harsh toward the middle of the j which is not something I noticed on the bong. The exhale on the bong is a semi sweet musty floral with a touch of distant mild fruitiness and a hint of weak cream that seems to come and go whereas the joint is a slightly sweeter floral with that same mild fruitiness. Cross checking the flavor on my Ghost Vapes MV1, at 170c I get an ultra light floral mint whereas at 185c it's more of a general floral, but it's so vague it's almost nonexistent. The headchange comes on quick and hits with a wave of calming energy while simultaneously putting a touch of pressure on my shoulders and behind my eyes. Mentally, while drifting off to space on occasion, I am able to mostly stay focused and relaxed while making my way through my task list. However, I also find myself wishing I could shirk this responsibility all together and just kick back on the couch, as the only challenge I'm really up to in this state is trying to stay awake while watching the entire Snyder Cut of Justice League in one go (impossible). All and all, while it's undoubtedly some beautiful herb, there wasn't anything particularly stand out about this batch that would have me jumping at the chance to get my hands on more. However, depending on the ticket and what else might be on offer, there's a chance I'd grab it again if I was looking for some lazy day smoke

Q: Why is the Library
placing illustrated newspaper pages on Flickr?
A: We have several
the launch of the Library of Congress pilot (for more information on the pilot project, see Library of Congress Photos on Flickr) Flickr began a new
initiative called "The Commons." Cultural heritage institutions that
join The Commons are sharing images from their collections
that have no known copyright restrictions as a way to increase
awareness of these collections with the general public. For more
information on The Commons, see: http://www.flickr.com/commons.
Q: Will this replace
putting newspapers on the Library's
Web site?
A: No. The Library
will continue to make digitized collections
available on its site.
How were the items selected/why did you pick
these pictures?
A: We have picked illustrated newspaper pages which are primarily visual in nature and for which no restrictions
on publication or distribution are known
and for which high quality files are available. These heavily illustrated supplement sections became the most widely read section of the papers. , and world events displayed in their pages captured the imagination of a curious public. These items contain many hidden gems and may be of particular interest to the Flickr community.
Q: How long will these
pages be available on Flickr?
A: The length of the pilot
will be determined by the amount of user
interest and tagging activity related to
the materials.
Q: Does the Library have
plans to add more newspapers to its Flickr account?
A: The Library has other
candidate collections in mind. Leave us a comment on what you'd
like to see.
Q: Did the Library add any tags
to its content on Flickr?
A: We placed only one tag
("Library of
Congress") and two machine tags on each
newspaper when we loaded them. Any other tags you
see were added by the community; we are generally
not controlling the content of Flickr tags,
notes and comments, but we reserve the right
to remove added content for any reason.
Do you have to create an account on Flickr
to view the Library's
pictures on Flickr?
A: No account is required
to view the newspapers. If you want to leave
tags or comments on the newspapers, you will
have to create a Flickr account.
Q: Is there a fee to
create a Flickr account?
A: A basic Flickr account
(the type of account required to tag images
in the Library_of_Congress sets) is free.
Q: How do I find the
Library of Congress material on Flickr?
A: Go to: http://www.flickr.com/photos/Library_of_Congress/.
Q: Are these newspapers
only on Flickr?
A: These newspapers are all
available on the Library of Congress Web
site as well. To view and read about some of the initial offering visit the "Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers" page for more information about newspapers and the National Digital Newspaper Program, and to see and search more than one million newspaper pages from a variety of states and time periods.
Q: How can I participate
in the pilot?
A: As you walk back in time
through the eyes of photographers and graphic artist whose work was published in the illustrated newspapers, please contribute your own tags,
comments, and identifying information.
Q: Will the Library do anything with
the tagging info once I add it to the Flickr newspapers?
A: The Library will decide
what to do with data added through Flickr once the
pilot is over. Because resources to update
catalog records are limited, the Library cannot promise
to incorporate contributed data into its own records.
Q: I have more information
or a question about a particular newspaper page.
Whom should I contact?
A: If you have a Flickr
account, please send your information through
a comment on Flickr (Library of Congress
staff will be looking at the comments). If
you don't have an account, you can
use the Ask a Librarian contact form available on the Newspaper and Current Periodical Reading Room site.
Please provide a citation and/or URL to the newspaper page in question.
Q: I noticed an error
in the data associated with the newspaper. Whom
should I contact?
A: If you have a Flickr
account, you are welcome to give us your
information through a comment on Flickr.

Can I reproduce these pictures?
A: Although the Library
of Congress does not grant or deny permission
to use images, the Library knows of no copyright
restrictions on the publication, distribution,
or re-use of these images. Privacy rights
may apply.
We offer general rights information and specific rights statements through the "Rights and Restrictions Information" page: http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/res/rights.html.
Q: Are higher resolution
copies available?
A. Yes. Higher resolution
JPEG 2000 versions of the newspapers are available

the Chronicling America Web site.
Q: Where can I find other
newspapers like these?
A. To view and search more than a million newspaper pages, you can visit the Chronicling America at the Library of Congress. To view other digitized historic newspapers from the Library of Congress, visit the American Memory digital collections "Stars and Stripes: The American Soldiers' Newspaper, 1918-1919," and "Newspaper Pictorials: World War I Rotogravures."
Q: Where do I find out
more about LC newspaper collections? What else
do you have?
A: The Serial & Government Publications Division maintains one of the most extensive newspaper collections in the world, including 9000 US titles and over 25,000 non-US titles. The division also sponsors the National Digital Newspaper program, a joint program with the National Endowment for the Humanities, to enhance access to newspapers beyond its own collections by building a national digital collection of historic newspapers held in all 50 states. The collections of the Library of Congress are international in scope, but they are especially rich in materials produced in, or documenting the history of, the United States and the lives, interests and achievements of the American people. For more information about collections in the Library of Congress Serial and Government Publications Division, you might want to start by visiting the Newspaper and Current Periodicals Reading Room home page, which includes links to collection descriptions, search tools, and various resources for research using newspapers and government publications.
How did you load the newspapers and descriptions?
Did you load them one by one?
A: We load the images and descriptions for different collections and sets in batches. Using Chronicling America's "linked data" features, a Library of Congress computer specialist used the Flickr API (available on the Flickr Services page) and a Python wrapper for that API called "Beej's Python Flickr API" available at: http://www.stuvel.eu/projects/flickrapi. Wrappers are available for a variety of programming languages. Many are listed under the "API Kits" heading on the Flickr Services page. With these tools, he developed a Python application that creates titles, descriptions, and tags from appropriate elements available in the linked data views; locates the images in Chronicling America; and uploads the whole set.
Q: How did you digitize the newspapers?
A. Newspapers included in Chronicling America are digitized using the National Digital Newspaper Program Technical specifications which can be found at http://www.loc.gov/ndnp/guidelines/ Material Is Scanned from Paper, Using Large-Format Scanning Devices, but most Is Scanned from duplicate print copies (2N) made from master microfilm negatives using specialized roll-feed film scanners.
Q: Did you alter
these newspapers in any way?
A: The Library and participants in the National Digital Newspaper Program produce digital scans to reproduce the newspapers in our collections. Some material is scanned from paper originals, but most is scanned from duplicate print copies of master microfilm negatives. Newspapers were often filmed to preserve their content, but sometimes filming began after the paper they were printed on was already degrading. By scanning from master negatives, we try to avoid dirt and scratches that might appear on the positive copy you find in regular use at a library and there is no attempt to try to improve the look of the original material.
The digitized newspaper images from our collections are intended to support a wide range of uses and applications: general research, educational use, book publications, exhibitions, print reproductions and more. Photographs in newspapers may be used to illustrate and expand the context for articles and other content. The Library's intent is to provide users with access to the materials in a form that can support any particular output need.
In addition to the factors above, there is another very practical reason for producing digital images of newspaper collections with minimal post-scanning adjustment. In order to support the Library's mission to make its resources available, the scanning programs underway focus on producing high quality master images quickly and efficiently. The time and expense required to produce perfectly executed and restored digital surrogates would limit the ability to provide scans of large numbers of newspaper pages.
Q: How can I find out when more newspaper pages are added to the Library's Flickr pilot?
A: One way is to sign up for Chronicling America's weekly notification service, via RSS or Email subscription, that highlights interesting content in the site, when new newspapers are added both to the site itself and to the Flickr pilot, as well as program updates. Users can use the icons at the lower-left side of the Chronicling America Web page to subscribe to the RSS (Real Simple Syndication) feed or sign up to receive the same information directly to their email in-box.

Purchase page
Purchase page has been changed. Before, it had a lot of text and links. But today I decided to simplify it and make it as easy as possible.
As a result, we can now see the link on the page for each product - NetStat Agent and Real NetStat. In addition, volume discounts are moved to a separate page.
Hopefully this will give me new customers!

Run batch scripts with NetStat Agent
In NetStat Agent 3.1 we added an ability to run batch scripts (in previous versions only executable files could be run). And because a launched third party program can show a window, we added new properties to user interface: program parameters (such as process name, remote ip, etc.) and an option to show\hide a program window.
On current moment the program supports the following parameters:

What is my IP address?
Sometimes it is useful to know your external IP address. For example, when you share HTTP/FTP server and you do not know or forgot your IP address. In this case, if you use NetStat Agent 3.0 every time, it will be very easy for you! Because you do not need to open the Internet browser and search for a special service.
To find your IP address you must open IPConfig tool and press External IP button. After a few seconds you will see your external IP address. You may copy it to a clipboard (the right mouse click).

What does event column mean?
"I have logged NetStat acitivity for a couple of days. I am analyzing the log now. I cannot find a definition of what can be recorded in the Event Column. What exactly does changed mean? What exactly does new mean? What exactly does removed mean?"
Event Columns means a log record status, for example:
1) You click on file in your browser and the browser opens a TCP connection to download file.
2) At this moment NetStat Agent (NA) found that your browser opened a new connection, so because it is a new connection, NA sets a record status as "New".
3) But when your browser downloaded a file, it closes the opened connection and at this moment NA writes to log file that connection is closed and sets a record status as "Removed".
A record status "Changed" means that connection state (see column "Status" in NetStat window) is changed, for example:
1) Let assume you run Skype and connected to Skype server.
2) In this case NA will find a TCP connection with status - "ESTABLISHED".
3) Then you decide to close Skype (disconnect).
4) It means that your PC (Skype application) will send a FIN packet (a TCP signal to close connection) to a remote host (Skype server).
5) For your PC it means a changing connection status from ESTABLISHED to FIN_WAIT1.
6) So when NetStat Agent detects connection status changes it writes to log file what connection is changed and sets a record status as "Changed" to event column.

Radio Armed Response : Claudia Wegener
(2008) 11:08
Claudia Wegener (alias, Radio Continental Drift) walks the streets of two suburban communities in Johannesburg S.A. In door to door interviews, through intercom systems and across gates, she asks questions related to public safety and a privatised security system. In surprisingly intimate, often humorous conversations, narratives of a complex urban patchwork of communities unfold before your very eyes. What unravels, far beyond issues of security, or social and urban divisions are shared concerns, questions, stories and visions of and about people living together.
Metadata and Credits: The version of Radio Armed Response going on-air in this show is as such unpublished; though included in the mix of the Long Walk radio play (2009). A shorter edit of the piece was published on the CD magazine VIBRÖ in 2008. Original recordings in Sandton and Soweto in March 2006 were realised with the friendly assistance of Stephen Hobbs; a first edit of a half-hour piece was assisted by Ismail Farouk; both Joburg artists. A one-hour live radio version was broadcast on Resonance FM in April 2007 and is archived online.
radio continental drift, a "broad casting house in the bag of a listener" was founded by sound- and radio artist Claudia Wegener in the streets of Johannesburg in 2005. Radio community projects took place in South Africa, Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, UK and Germany. Field-recordings are shared under creative commons license with the invitation to global listeners to explore and use the archived audio.
Parole Paysage : Anne-Laure Pigache & Isa Stragliati
(2018) 30'55
A live radiophonic performance, a drift in the language
Parole Paysage is a monthly radio show hosted by Anne-Laure Pigache. Between 15 and 30 minutes to explore the very specific format of radio live where the invisible public is fantasized. And where the radio breaks into every nook and cranny of the intimate territories of the listener. A space where the word is sound, the sound becomes a word, the interstice of language at the limit of the signifier, a dive into the
phonemes of the language. A wandering in the corporeality of speech. For this show she invited Isa Stragliati for a voice/vinyls duo.
Live broadcast June 18 2018 on Radio Campus Grenoble
Anne-Laure Pigache Vocalist and improviser living in Grenoble
Working in the field of sound poetry, at the crossroads of theater and experimental music, she is particularly interested in the state of improvisation and the quality of presence that this state gives to performers. As a vocalist, she is regularly invited for concerts of improvised music and radio creations. Since 2010, she has been exploring the musicality of language in particular. She is interested in everyday speech to bring out music and poetics.
Isa Stragliati is a sound & radio artist, composer and DJ. Her productions and live performances, involving field recording, documentary, radio drama, electroacoustic music or techno, have been broadcast on national radios and international networks, programmed in international festivals and events and in art centres.

She has published works with international electronic music labels and has performed in electronic music festivals, currently works on other artistic projects, both in theatrical and visual electroacoustic contexts.
Ascending Node : Victoria Keddie
(2020) 11:09
The composition, Ascending Node, derives from the orbiting of space debris as it is tracked in real-time using Keddie's custom built software. Data of proximity, distance, and attitude variance are rendered into sound through analog synthesizers, signal generators, sampler, voice, and more. Modulation of electromagnetic energies, vocal arrangement, distortion, feedback, time latency, and interference contribute to each composition as intentional elements. This is music of both an intimate and planetary exchange. The work is part of her forthcoming LP, Apsides, out October 2nd with Chaiken Records (www.chaikenrecords.com)
Victoria Keddie is an artist working in varying media and transmission. As both a visual and sound artist, Keddie has performed and exhibited internationally. Her work is distributed through Lightcone (Paris/FR) and The Filmmakers Co-op (NYC/US).

In What Ways Can CBD Products Help?
Cannabinoids (like CBD) are chemical compounds produced naturally by the hemp plant. Amazingly, cannabinoids are also produced by the human body known as endocannabinoids (with Endo referring to internal or within the body). There are endocannabinoid receptors in both the central and peripheral nervous systems for the regulation of various physiological processes such as sleep, appetite, mood, pain, stress response and immune functions. Due to similarities in their structure, the cannabinoids contained in our Full Spectrum Virgin Hemp Extract Boosted with Pure CBD Distillate interact with the endocannabinoid receptors in the body.

Some Great Ways to Use Our Organic 1500mg Full Spectrum CBD Extract Infused Organic Acacia Honey Boosted with Pure CBD Distillate:
CBD honey is more than just a tasty treat. You can also use it in some many ways. So, if you're looking for the Swiss Army Knife of the food world. CBD honey can be used as a substitute for sugar in most recipes. But how should you use CBD honey to get the most benefits? Check out some of the ways to use our CBD honey.
Honey is awesome! It's got a long list of health benefits, and it tastes good too. There are very few natural, edible options that pack the same punch. High-CBD cannabis is the other one that comes to mind.
As great as those two things are separately, just imagine what they could do together. It's unlike anything the world has seen since Milton Hershey combined peanut butter and chocolate. Yeah, CBD honey is just that good.
But how should you use CBD honey to get the most benefits? Some of the ways to use your liquid gold for health and happiness.
Treat Stomach Ulcers: You might already know that one of CBD's health benefits are its effect on pain reduction. What you probably didn't know was that you can actually use CBD honey to treat stomach ulcers. Just take a spoonful of CBD honey in the morning before you have breakfast. Repeat this for a few days and you will be surprised by the relieving effect it will have on your stomach.
Get Rid of Hangovers: Everyone likes going out and having a great time, but no one likes the head-splitting hangovers the next morning. Since it's practically impossible to avoid hangovers (except by abstaining from alcohol, but, like, come on), how about treating them with the all-natural CBD honey?
The antioxidants in the honey will counter the toxins present in the body. It will also be able to break down any alcohol in your system into smaller, more easily absorbed particles to offer you faster relief. You can mix this in your favourite drink (might we suggest something non-alcoholic?) and enjoy its effects and the relief offered.
Treat Allergies: Generally speaking, organic honey is great for the treatment of allergies and allergic reactions resulting from encounters with various things such as dust, feathers and other small particles. You can use this CBD and increase your chances of treating these allergies.
Keep Your Lips Moisturized: No longer must you walk around with your lips exposed to the elements. Apply CBD honey as a moisturizer and the effects will amaze you. The CBD is absorbed into your body, leaving your lips luscious and moisturized. Time to throw away your expensive and less effective lip balms.
Sweetener: People have been using honey for a long time. It's a great way to sweeten a bitter drink or porridge. Scoop some CBD honey into your favourite drinks or porridge. We can tell you that it's far more effective and healthier than a sugar. So just imagine all the extra health benefits you would get by adding CBD honey. Enjoy it as a delicacy while still getting the great benefits that CBD cannabinoids have to offer. Honey is a great substitute. Give it a try and we are sure you will never go back.
Peanut Butter:
Making your own peanut butter is super easy, not to mention healthy and delicious. To boost the health benefits, even more, mix up your own batch of CBD honey-based peanut butter. Simply add CBD honey to your existing peanut butter recipe and you are all set!
Salad Dressing:
Skip the salad dressing aisle at the supermarket, save some money, and enjoy a delicious and nutritious alternative instead. Simply mix equal parts:
- CBD honey
- Balsamic vinegar
- Olive oil
Add salt, pepper, and herbs to your liking and you've got a tasty salad dressing for any situation.
All-Natural CBD Honey Cough Syrup:
Ever been kept awake by a nasty cough? It's the worst. Now you can fix that persistent hack and get your forty winks without resorting to chemical additives. Here's the simple recipe
In a saucepan, add:
- 1 cup of water
- ¼ cup of ginger root
- ¼ cup of marshmallow root
- 1 tablespoon of cinnamon
Bring the water to a boil, and then simmer until half the water is gone. Pour the water through a cheesecloth to remove the herbs. Wait for the water to cool a bit.
While it's still warm, mix in the lemon juice and the CBD honey. Transfer to a canning jar with a lid, and store your CBD honey cough syrup in the refrigerator.
Relieve Pain from Burns and Stings: Ever encounter a slight burn? Apply some CBD honey to reduce the pain from the burn. However, you should consult a doctor for treatment of severe burns, or chemical burns.
In the event you get a sting from a wasp or a bee, you can apply CBD honey for immediate relief. But if you get stung by a scorpion, you're going to need something more than CBD honey for that one. See a doctor.
Reduce Menstrual Pains and Cramps: CBD honey is great for activating and livening up the Omega-6 fatty acids. Omega-6 is responsible for the control of hormones that are released in your body and can help smoothing things out if you find your cramps becoming overwhelming. This would be also be a good time to break out the CBD honey-sweetened tea.
As a Natural Antibiotic: CBD honey contains antitoxins that are vital for keeping your body clean and healthy. When your body encounters some toxic substances, these antitoxins are able to fight them out naturally without serious side effects.
As a Cleansing Face Mask: This was bound to be on the list. Want a smooth, acne-free face? Ditch the expensive pharmaceutical face creams and masks you bought at the store. It's time for the CBD honey to do its magic. Apply the honey to your face every morning and let it stay there for a few minutes. Ensure that your face is clean before application and that you haven't applied any other chemicals or makeup. Wash off with clean tap water. You will see the results in just a few days.
You can reduce acne by making a natural CBD honey face cream using the following recipe:
- Plain Yogurt
- Turmeric
- CBD Honey
- Coconut Oil
Combine 1 teaspoon turmeric, ½ teaspoon of CBD honey, ½ teaspoon coconut oil and 1 tablespoon of yogurt. Mix well.
- Apply the mixture to your face for about 30–45 minutes.
- Wash off with warm water.
This cream will be great in reducing acne, circles under the eyes, moisturizing dry skin, brightening the skin, reducing the dark circles on your skin and diminishing pimples.
Incorporate CBD honey in your food: You can use CBD honey in probably anything found in your kitchen. For instance, you can incorporate it into your salad by mixing it with a little vinegar and olive oil. We talked about sweetening your tea in the morning. You can add it to peanut butter, make better margarine or make a sports drink. The drink could have some lemons and warm water.
How and where you use CBD honey could vary greatly. Come up with other ways of using this great product and enrich your life. Remember that the trick is to get the cannabinoids into your body, one way or the other, so do not be afraid to go wild with your experimenting.
Some health benefits of Our Organic 1500mg Full Spectrum CBD Extract Boosted with Pure CBD Distillate:
- Relieves anxiety: If you suffer from depression and anxiety, this CBD oil may be able to help. CBD oil may actually change the way your brain receptors respond to serotonin, a chemical linked to mental health.
- Helps cancer patients: Several scientific reports demonstrate that CBD oil contains effects that inhibit cancer cell migration, adhesion and invasion. CBD oil can also help cancer patients increase their appetite.
- Pain reliever: CBD oil is great for relieving pain and any inflammation. This is because CBD oil appears to inhibit neuronal transmission in pathways. It's able to help with many forms of pain such as chronic pain, muscle pain, arthritis, spinal cord injuries, asthma and even MS pain. It's also got anti-inflammatory properties which work hand in hand with pain relief, depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and nearly everything in between.
- Reduces seizure frequency: CBD can help people who have epilepsy, or frequent seizures. It can help reduce the frequency of seizures, the intensity of seizures, and possibly even eliminate seizures completely.
- Cardiovascular health: CBD oil actually protects against the vascular damage caused by a high glucose environment. It's safe to say CDB will not put a strain on your heart, but rather, protect it.
As you can see there are so many health benefits to just CBD oil alone. To learn more, read and educate yourself about all the benefits of CBD oil mentioned above.
Some Benefits of Our Organic Honey:
- Loaded with antioxidants and minerals: Organic honey is packed with good-for-you components like active enzymes, B vitamins, minerals, and antibacterial properties. A 1-ounce serving contains some folate, and vitamins B2, B3, B5, B6, and even C. Minerals include iron, iodine, copper, calcium, zinc, sodium, selenium, potassium, phosphorous, manganese, and magnesium.
- Cough suppressant and Throat Smoother: Perhaps one of the best benefits of organic honey is that it's great at suppressing cough and smooth the throat! It's especially good at treating upper respiratory infections.
- It has Antibacterial and Antifungal Properties: Organic honey not only has benefits for those who consume it internally but antibacterial and antifungal properties that make it an excellent choice for certain skin conditions. It can be used as an antiseptic in wounds or massaged into the scalp to treat dandruff and eczema. Organic honey is also an ingredient in many homemade facial recipes since its antibacterial agents prevent and treat acne.
- Healthy Sugar substitute: For tea, coffee, porridge and more
Here are some more ways we recommend taking Our Organic 1500mg Full Spectrum CBD Extract Infused Organic Acacia Honey Boosted with Pure CBD Distillate:
