Indonesia foils Christmas bomb plot
JAKARTA - Indonesian police have foiled plans by an IS-linked group for a Christmas-time suicide bombing after killing three suspected militants Wednesday and discovering a cache of bombs, authorities said.
A firefight erupted at a house in South Tangerang 25 kilometres (15 miles) west of the capital Jakarta, with police saying the alleged militants had opened fire at officers.
"We asked the three men to surrender but they fought, with one of them throwing a bomb (at officers). Thankfully the bomb didn't explode and we took firm action against them," said national police spokesman Rikwanto, who goes by one name.
He said the group to which the three belong, which is linked to the Islamic State group (IS), had planned to stab a police officer at a police station and wait for crowds to gather before launching a suicide bomb attack around the Christmas holidays.
The targeted location is near a private hospital west of Jakarta, police added.
Bomb squad officers in protective gear have so far detonated six bombs seized from the house and more are expected to be blown up before investigators can enter the building. Police have yet to disclose the total number of bombs discovered on Wednesday.
The plot was disclosed by a group member who was arrested earlier on Wednesday and tipped off police about the three militants and their whereabouts, police said.
The raid came less than two weeks after police arrested four Islamic militants including a female suicide bomber in Bekasi east of Jakarta. They were plotting to bomb one of the guard posts at the presidential palace.
Police said the men in South Tangerang have links to the Bekasi group and to Bahrun Naim, a leading Indonesian militant fighting with IS in Syria who was allegedly responsible for several botched assaults in his homeland.
"These groups are linked to ISIS. Some recruit, some donate, some assemble the bombs and some carried out the attack," another national police spokesman Martinus Sitompul said, using another acronym for IS.
- Easy target -
A security analyst said Indonesians fighting for IS in Syria appeared to have designated the Philippines the safe house for IS-related groups in the region. Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim-majority country, had become the main target of terror attacks.
"Indonesia is easier to be a target because (the militants) think it's easier here. Law enforcement is weak and it's easy to get a fake ID," analyst Al Chaidar told AFP.
Police said investigations are continuing into the larger network and its agenda.
In separate raids police also arrested two suspected militants on Sumatra island. It was not clear whether they were part of the group that plotted the Christmas attack.
Nearly a year ago a suicide bomber blew himself up in a Starbucks cafe while others blew up a police post and attacked police in Jakarta's main thoroughfare, in the first attack claimed by IS in Southeast Asia.
The attack killed four civilians and four militants.
Indonesia suffered a string of deadly homegrown attacks during the 2000s -- including the 2002 Bali bombings which killed over 200 people.
A sustained crackdown has weakened many of the most dangerous extremist networks but there have been fears of a resurgence in militancy.

When it comes to legal marketing, one thing is certain: the Internet is great resource for new business. But how many cases can you get from a website? To answer this question, the first thing you have to determine is how many cases you want. Like any form of advertising, your website is an investment—a platform for generating new leads—and the amount of clients it brings is directly related to how much you're willing to invest.
How Many Legal Cases Is Your Website Generating Now?
The term "online footprint" refers to any traces of your business across the Internet. This might include your actual website, a Google+ page, social media platforms, directories, and more. If your business already has a strong footprint, you're probably getting some calls (even cases) from the Internet.
Figure out how many clients are currently coming from your site; this number will serve as a platform for how much you'll need to invest to reach your online marketing goals.
Doing the Math: Understanding Your Business' Possibilities
To determine the best number of cases for your business' growth, answer the following questions:
- What is your current marketing budget?
- How many cases does your site currently generate, if any?
- Can you redistribute any other advertising funds to increase your online budget?
- What is the current capacity for cases at your firm?
- How do you want to expand your business in the near future?
- How do you want your business to grow in the long run?
Every law firm practice is different. These questions will give you a general grasp of your marketing goals. To learn more about your business possibilities through online marketing, speak with an online marketing expert or vendor.
How PPC can benefit your law firm:
Through paid advertising, you can create a budget that targets your desired caseload based on the following information: the cost of each lead (which will vary), your website conversion rate, and how many cases you need to get to make a return on your investment (ROI).
After gathering this data, your marketing firm can compare your PPC campaign to similar ones and give you a projected ROI. With this information, you can determine how much your PPC budget should be to meet your caseload and ROI goals.
Achieving Your Goals
Internet marketing on search engines boils down to paid search and organic rankings. This two-pronged approach allows you to target the right market so you can reduce your cost-per-case and increase leads.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) – SEO is a real way to bring visitors to your website. With the right web design and marketing message, these visitors will turn into phone calls, leads, and clients. In many ways, SEO is fleeting and elusive, but with the right strategy, a strong organic presence can significantly increase the number of calls you get without paying for ad space.
Pay-Per-Click Advertising (PPC) – If you're afraid of putting all your eggs in one basket (and you should be), try investing a portion of your online marketing into PPC. Paid search offers a level of stability that SEO cannot, along with faster results. With the help of your marketing vendor, you can adjust your PPC campaign to meet the unique needs of your law firm.
Internet marketing isn't something you can build and set to auto-pilot. If you're serious about growing your business online, working with the right marketing vendor is the best way to reach your goals. Get more information about your law firm's potential when you speak with an Internet marketing expert from Scorpion Design, LLC.

This race was literally in our backyard, so the commute was pretty easy. So nice not to have to get up at the crack of dawn to get to a race. Quad Cycles hosted this new event, and did a great job. Lots of parking, great access to registration and a very spectator-friendly venue. The course was good as well - less technical than Saturday's race, but still a challenge with lots of bumpy grass, tight 180 degree turns, a set of barriers and a BRUTAL run-up with a technical descent.
Again, we arrived early so that we could see some of our teammates and friends in the Beginner races. The NEBC women's team ended up taking 1st, 2nd, 5th, 6th and 8th, with two more teammates in the field as well! It was so much fun cheering them all on, and seeing the smiles when they were finished.
NEBC, ready to race; Carrie finishing up
Karin and Janet - this was Karin's first race; Our winner - Libby!
After the beginners, Mike got ready for his race, and I headed out with our friends Jaime, Mary and Allison to watch and cheer. This was their first experience at a 'cross race, and I think they may come back (Allison particularly liked ringing the cowbell). I also found out that as a result of watching the race, Allison has a new found appreciation for her bike, and might be willing to give a 'cross race a go!
Mike was racing A Masters 35+ again, and while Mark wasn't in the field today, Pascal was. Pascal is from Quebec, and has been coming down to New England each weekend, and ripping the legs off of the Masters fields; he dominated again in Bedford.
We took up our spectating at the bottom of the run-up, which afforded a pretty good view of most of the course. The run-up was steep, and started with a single barrier at the bottom, forcing a dismount. The steep uphill was fresh cut and soft, making the going pretty tough. At the top, a remount was difficult at best (better if you had the skills to remount from the drive-train side), and led into an equally steep, soft, bumpy descent.
For the first two laps, Mike was racing in second position behind Pascal! He said that he suddenly realized that probably meant he was going too hard, and he backed it down just a little bit (although he admitted that he LIKED being so close to the front of the race). He continued to look strong throughout the race, although the sweat was pouring off of him. In the final laps, he made up some ground, and managed to finish 7th overall - a TERRIFIC result! He had a great weekend of racing.
After his race, I headed back to the car to get ready for my own. Warmed up on the trainer and did a bit of socializing, but never had the opportunity to pre-ride the course. That is something that I need to make sure happens moving forward, so I know what to expect and when. I lined up in the second row, next to Rebecca. Her family and much of the women's elite team showed up with big signs - it was her 30th birthday, and they let everyone know it!
Our start was delayed due a course change. With the dry, soft, fresh cut course, the conditions had deteriorated badly in some sections - particularly right before the run-up. The officials and promoters decided after a couple of very badly rolled ankles in the men's race, to remove the barrier at the bottom of the run-up. As the start official said, it didn't really serve any purpose anyway - it wasn't like anyone was going to be able to ride up that slope!
I had another not great start that got worse as we entered the first turn, and I got caught behind the chaos of the field trying to all get around a 180 degree turn at once. I managed to hang on for the next section of the course, where we again piled up headed up the run-up. Think of 20 women with bikes on their shoulders, running up a steep slope covered in black silty soil, about 4 inches deep. It was a slog-fest, and anything but pretty. At the top, there was literally no remount room, before treacherously heading back DOWN the steep slope, now with exposed rock and about two steps in it.
I could see the leaders coming out of the barriers as I was headed in, and coming out of there, I managed to pick up a spot or two. Throughout the first couple of laps, I picked off about three riders. Unfortunately, after that the gas ran out. I wasn't able to hold my position, and started going backwards. Two of the women I had worked to get around passed me back, and now I was on my own, getting lapped by Lyne Bessette (that seems to be a common theme for me this year!). I ended up lapped by a few more of the leaders, and finished at the back of the pack.
The course was good, but I just didn't have the snap. This was the first of our double-header weekends - hopefully I am just getting used to the back-to-back racing.

Rollicking 4th of July Travel Destinations!
Dear Friends,
While travel industry influencers publish their annual, "Top 10 4th of July Travel Destination in the USA" picks, at RoadTripExplore.com are featured some road-less-traveled favorites where Independence Day is celebrated with just as much fun and special western small town exuberance.
There's no better time to enjoy a road trip in the USA than when spirits are high and patriotism flows while citizens of the one of the greatest nations on Earth celebrate their independence and freedom!
Bridgeport, CaliforniaLocated off the east of the majestic Sierra Nevada, just northeast of Yosemite National Park with Sequoia National Park farther south, Bridgeport takes pride in providing an old fashioned Fourth of July celebration to residents and visitors. It's a fun filled day with all American camaraderie, feasting and activities to please everyone.
The day kicks off at 7 a.m. with a pancake breakfast at the high school, followed by the 5 Mile Run and 3 Mile Walk events at 8 a.m. Kids' fun activities and arts and crafts occupy families until the Parade begins on Main Street at 10 a.m.
Throughout the afternoon residents and visitors enjoy old fashion games and friendly competitions including, horseshoes, mud volleyball, watermelon eating contest, arm wrestling, grease pole climbing, a rubber duck race and karaoke. Catch a BBQ lunch at the Bridgeport Gun Club or picnic in the park.
As evening approaches, wind down on the Courthouse Lawn and enjoy Fiddlin' Pete and a live music concert from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Still hungry? Head on over to the Bridgeport Christian Fellowship for free
BBQ; they start serving at 7 p.m. Finish off the day by watching a stellar fireworks display at the airport beginning at dark.
Jackson, WyomingNestled in the shadows of the towering peaks of Grand Teton National Park , Jackson is a western small town with big personality. As the major gateway to Yellowstone National Park , the small population living there caters to tourist's needs year around.
Breakfast at 7 a.m. is an annual tradition and it is all-you-can eat pancakes and more at the Town Square; the Jackson Hole Lion Club does the cooking.
After a leisurely repast, folks stay close by and line the sidewalks to see the Jackson Hole Fourth of July Patriotic Parade, which starts at 10:30 a.m.
Check out the Grand Teton Music Festival in Teton Village starting at 6 p.m. This is a popular concert and quickly sells out, so come prepared with tickets purchased in advance and arrive very early to secure parking. This patriotic extravaganza is followed by a fireworks display beginning at 10 p.m.
Visitors who choose to remain in Jackson for the rest of the day can enjoy an old Wild West live reenactment at 6 p.m. at the famous Town Square Shootout. Then, mosey on over to enjoy another western tradition, The Fourth of July Rodeo held at the Teton County Fairgrounds,
beginning at 8 p.m. The rodeo ends just in time, 10 p.m., for everyone to enjoy the festive fireworks show located at the base of Snow King Mountain in town.
Molalla, OregonIf you are "Proud to be American", then Molalla, is the place to be for Independence Day. Festivities entertain visitors, and the residents who welcome them, throughout the day. Join the happy crowd lining Main Street at 9:30 a.m. to kick off the day with the Giant Street Parade. At the same time, mirroring the parade route, professional and amateur athletes celebrate in the Freedom 5K run.
Folks disperse and make their way across this small town to Clark Park and fairgrounds, where they enjoy a picnic lunch and spend some family time at the carnival until the Molalla Buckaroo PRCA Rodeo begins. Performances start at 1:30 p.m. and then again at 8:00 p.m., followed by a breathtaking fireworks display, and then live music entertainment. It's a Wild West event in Oregon's ranch country visitors return for year after year!
When visiting here, make time to see the splendor of the foothills of the Cascades, the
Molalla River Corridor and Table Rock Wilderness
, and the
Clackamas River Recreation Area.
Silverton, ColoradoSilverton, Colorado is another small western American town that gets under visitors' skin. There's something about it that is unforgettable and nothing more so than the Independence Day celebration. Start the day early, at 8 a.m., with the Silverton, Colorado 4th of July Fun Run kicking off from Memorial Park.
Then, walk to Greene and Blair Streets to see the 4th of July Parade, beginning at 10:30 a.m., followed by the Last Frontier Wild West Village Carnival at Memorial Park. Folks love launching their little rubber ducks in the Duck Derby held at Cement Creek at 2 p.m.
The evening festivities begin at 6 p.m. at Notorious Blair Street. Imaginge this old west red light district coming to life with food, drink, stage presentations and live music; it's a rollicking good time!
Finish off the night with the award winning Silverton Volunteer Fire Department Fireworks show at 9 p.m.; deemed "Best in the West"!
Yachats, OregonThe Oregon coast is a worldwide bucket list destination. Visitors come not only for its magnificent beauty, but for its unparalleled public beach access from its Columbia River border at Washington State to its Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument border at California.
There's no better time to visit than for the Independence Day celebrations happening up and down the coastline and one of the best is at the enchanting village of Yachats (YAH-hots) on the Oregon Central Coast .
Start celebrating early at the Yachats Lions Pancake Breakfast. This hearty all-you-can-eat meal starts at 7:30 a.m. and dishes up to late-comers until 11 a.m. Then, walk 1 block to the Yachats Ladies Club for their old-time Pie and Ice Cream Social. Plan to go early, 10:30 a.m., because the doors close when the pies sell out at this popular event.
Animated visitors, and residents alike, line the village streets for the much anticipated noon-time la de da Parade. Spend the afternoon exploring Yachats, the seaside, enjoying great eats, art and live music. Kids love the Duck Race held at 2:30 p.m.
There's nothing more awesome than a spectacular Pacific Ocean sunset followed by fantastic fireworks over Yachats Bay; the perfect end to a splendid day!
Wherever you travel to for Independence Day, make your trip a great one!
Happy 4th of July to all!

Why is the gender wage gap narrower for lesbians? Cristen and Caroline investigate why those bigger paychecks happen but probably don't buy an easier time in the workplace.
Salary talk with coworkers is becoming the new "do" in digital workplaces. recruitHER founders Gina Helfrich and Ashley Doyle share their insights on savvy negotiation, the power of salary transparency and how women and tech companies can jointly hack the wage gap.
Confidence is not a problem for U.S. women's soccer star Abby Wambach; the gender wage gap is. Recently retired, the gold medalist and top international scorer is shifting her focus from heading goals to tackling gender equality, and she's not going to let anything get in her way. In this third ChangeMAKERS installment, Cristen and Caroline talk with Wambach about learning from others, leading a team and the forces that motivate her to change the world.
On Oct. 24, 1975, women in Iceland went on strike to protest gender inequality. Cristen and Caroline go to work on how the strike happened, its impact and whether Iceland is the feminist paradise it's touted to be.
Research has been rolling out for years supporting the theory that tall folks make more money than their vertical underlings. And while researching men and height for an upcoming podcast, I stumbled across this bombshell of a statistic cited in Malcolm Gladwell's Blink:

Humayun's tomb which is known as? Humayun ka Maqbara in hindi is the tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun in Delhi, India. This tomb has a romantic tale associated to it which is that after the death of the Mughal emperor Humayun, his wife Bega Begum was so grief stricken that she decided to live the rest of her life for the sole purpose of building a mausoleum in the great memory of her soul mate. A Persian architect known by the name of Mirak Mirza Ghiyas personally chosen by the Begum herself was handed the work of designing the tomb which came out to be the first garden-tomb on the entire Indian subcontinent. Established in the year 1570, this tomb located in the Nizamuddin East, Delhi, India, which is also in close proximity to the Dinah-Panah citadel famously known as Purana Qila which also founded by Humayun in the year 1533. In the year 1993, it was also proclaimed to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area where the Humayun tomb is situated also homes several other tombs out of which there is a tomb of Isa Khan Niyazi which is two decades older than the humayun tomb.
The main tomb of the Humayun also houses the graves of Bega Begum herself, Hamida Begum, and also Dara Shikoh, great great grandson of Humayun and son of the much later Emperor Shah Jahan, as well as several other succeeding Mughals, including Emperor Jahandar Shah,Farrukhsiyar, Rafi Ul-Darjat, Rafi Ud-Daulat and Alamgir II. Yamuna Bank was chosen as the site for the tomb specifically due to its nearness to the much admired sufi saint Nizamuddin Auliya's mausoleum known as the Nizamuddin Dargah.
|Founded in
|1533 Year
|Founded By
|6 AM to 6PM
|Open Time
|Entry Fee
|Indians: Rs.10, Others: US $ 5 or Indian Rs. 250/- per head, (Children up to 15 years free)
|The tomb stands right in the middle of a square garden which is beautifully divided into four paved path ways, and thus it is called Charbagh. The compound that is strengthened using rubble gets its grandeur from double-storied gateways standing at the West and South. A Bardari and a Hammam inhabit the Eastern and the centre of the Northern wall respectively. Humayun Tomb was the first antique architecture that was constructed using red sandstone in massive numbers. The structure of the mausoleum represents a square double-storied structure, exhibiting corners which are cut at right angles. It rises from a terrace which is again square in shape. The grave is centralized in the cell complex and can be reached using a passage on the south. The central chamber, given an octagonal shape, houses the Cenotaph. However, the other graves are put in the corner chambers, which can be reached through their diagonal sides. The exterior of the tomb is overpowered by three arched alcoves out of which the central one is the highest. The elevations of the tomb are ornamented with marble borders and panels. a similar plan was enacted on the second floor. However, roof is mastered by a double dome of marble which is 42.5 m in thickness and has pillared kiosks installed all over it.
|Information for tourists
|Entry is free on Friday. On other days, there is a small entry fee.

Stimulants, also called psychostimulants or "uppers" are substances that temporarily increase alertness and energy. Stimulants affect both physical and mental energy levels.
The opposite of stimulants, or uppers are the so called downers, that is, sedatives. If you are looking to find out more about, or buy legal, natural sedatives, check out Simon's Guide to Natural Sedatives.
There are several types of substances with stimulating effects. Some are prescription medicines; among those that are not there are both illegal drugs and legal substances. Another categorisation is that stimulants may be natural or synthetic.
In this guide you can read about the effects, legal status and uses of various natural stimulants. All of the stimulants presented here are legal at least in some countries and forms, but please make sure to check local laws before deciding to try or buy any stimulants.
Make sure never to buy any party pills if the ingredients are not listed on the packaging or on the website! These may contain various dangerous additives and research chemicals.
More info about the dangers of research chemicals and about the unethical marketing practices these manufactures use can be found here.

- Natural stimulants
- Legal stimulants
Effects of stimulants
Substances in the category of stimulants achieve their effects in various ways. The major classes of stimulants are amphetamines and dopamine precursors.
The effects of legal and illegal, natural and synthetic stimulants are, in general, similar, though there is large variation in their strength. Natural stimulants are also generally less dangerous, though they can have side-effects as well.
The primary effect of stimulants and the reason they are most often consumed is, as the name suggests, their stimulating effect. Users feel more alert and wakeful. Cognitive effects include an increased sense of motivation and enhanced productivity. Users may also experience feelings of euphoria.
Stimulants provide not only mental, but physical energy as well. Heart rate and blood pressure is increased, and users feel a diminished need to rest or eat.
The increased endurance and energy is what akes stimulants popular. Mild, legal forms of it, such as coffee, are consumed by millions of people on a daily basis.
However, these effects pose dangers as well. While users feel more energetic after consuming stimulants, their need for rest, sleep or eat does not actually decrease. This can have adverse effects on anyone, but those with diabetes should be extremely cautious.
The increased heart rate may also lead to heart attacks in those with preexisting conditions, or when consumed in combination with another stimulant.
Natural and over the counter stimulants
There are several legally available stimulants, though laws change from country to country. there are two main kinds of legal substances: over the counter stimulants and natural stimulants, though the distinction is not definitive.
Over the counter stimulants generally come in the forms of diet pills. This is because, as mentioned previously, stimulants decrease the sense of hunger. Laws regulating over the counter stimulants have recently become stricter – for specifics, see the description and legal status of each stimulant.
Natural stimulants – often containing the same active ingredients as over the counter stimulants – are available outside of pharmacies. One may purchase the plants themselves, or various extracts and supplements made from these plants.
Natural and over the counter stimulants have side-effects and pose dangers as well, as most substances do. However, they should not be demonised (especially in a society where drinking coffee is widely accepted), as taken in moderation and with caution they have little to no adverse effects.
Ephedra sinica
Ephedra sinica, also called mormon's tea or ma huang has been used in Chinese traditional medicine for thousands of years.
Ephedra is the most well-known and popular mood-enhancer and stimulant. It has been marketed both as a weigh-loss pill and as a natural remedy.
The main active ingredients in Ephedra sinica are ephedrine and pseudoephedrine. Though ephedra has been marketed as legal extasy, the effects are much milder, and ephedra is also safer to use.
Recently stricter laws regarding pills with ephedra or ephedrine content have been introduced, making the legal status of the various products rather complex.

Sida cordifolia
Sida cordifolia, or country mallow is a small shrub native to Inida, which is why it is also called Indian ephedra.
As the effects of the two plants are rather similar, Sida cordifolia is extensively used as an ephedra substitute where the latter is illegal or out of stock.
Sida cordifolia also contains ephedrine and psudoephedrine, though in a smaller concentration than ephedra. As a result, the effects are milder, and larger doses may be used. Like ephedra, Sida cordifolia is consumed in the form of a tea made from the ground roots.

Betel leaves
Betel – that is, Pipe betle is a vine belonging to the Piperaceae family. It should not be confused with Areca catechu, also called betel.
With Piper betle, it is the leaves that are consumed; for betel nut see the next entry. The two types mixed together along with tobacco and lime is called paan, which is very popular in Asia.
The main active ingredient in betel leaves is arecoline, with effects similar to nicotine. The leaves are consumed by simply chewing them, 3-5 at a time.
Betel leaves are legal in most countries. However, it is generally unknown outside of Asia. As a result, I can not currently recommend any online shops selling betel leaves.

Betel nuts are legal in most countries. However, it is generally unknown outside of Asia. As a result, I can not currently recommend any online shops selling betel leaves.
The nuts are chewed for about 5-20 minutes, after which they are not swallowed but spit out. Betel nut users chew an average of 10-50 grams per day.

Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) is an herb native to South Africa, where it has been used for ritualistic purposes by indigenous tribes for several centuries.
The main active ingredient in Kanna is mesembrine. The effects of Sceletium tortuosum can range from mild to MDMA-like, depending on the dosage and quality.
Kanna is legal in most countries, including the United States. It is, however, banned for human consumption in the state of Louisiana. Kanna is known as a marijuana synergist. If you live in a country or state where marijuana is legal, you might want to try this combination.

Khat (Catha edulis) is a flowering plant native to the Arabian Peninsula and the Horn of Africa.
It is the leaves of khat that are consumed, traditionally by chewing. Each dose of khat is chewed for about 10-30 minutes, then spat out.
Khat is illegal in most of the Western world.Interestingly, it is legal in several countries with a Muslim majority, effectively used as a substitute for alcohol. /It should be noted that the Qu'ran prohibits not only alcohol, but all forms of intoxicants./
The main active ingredient in Catha edulis is cathinone. The effects of cathinone are similar to those of ephedrine. Khat is generally safe on the short run, but long-term use can have side-effects such as discoloration of the teeth or even oral cancer.

Coca leaves
Coca is not a single species, but actually four different plants from the Erythroxylaceae family, all native to South America.
The main active ingredient found in coca leaves is cocaine, the purified form of which is the drug by the same name.
Though their main active compound is the same, the effects of coca leaves are barely comparable to those of cocaine. Unlike the latter, coca leaves are either chewed or brewed into a tea.
Coca leaves are in the same legal category as cocaine in most countries. In several South American countries, however, there is a distinction between the two substances, and the laws affecting coca leaves are much laxer.

Cocoa powder
Cocoa or cacao powder is made from the dried and ground seeds of the Theobroma cacao tree.
Cocoa powder is the main ingredient in the most popular type of sweet in the world, chocolate. However, it also has mild psychoactive properties.
Cacao powder is legal in all countries, and available in grocery stores throughout the world. However, the processed cocoa powder is not used for recreational purposes, only 100% cacao powder with no sugar added.
The main active ingredients in cacao are theobromine and caffeine. In order to make an effective drink, large amounts of cocoa powder must be used (or extracted theobromine or caffeine is needed). We only included cocoa here to make this a complete list of natural legal stimulants.

The main active ingredients in kola nut are caffeine and theobromine. Kola is used as a flavouring in the western world, in Coca Cola for example.
In Africa, especially in Nigeria, kola nuts enjoy widespread use for both ritualistic and recreational purposes.
Both kola nut and the active ingredients caffeine and theobromine are legal worldwide. The nuts are brewed into a tea prior to consumption.

Keifer Sutherland is set to star in a new action web-series called The Confession from Digital Broadcasting Group. The 24 star is also the creator of the ten episode series, which was written and directed by Brad Mirman, and co-stars John Hurt. The series premieres on Hulu in March.
The actor is also talking about the current state of the film spin-off of 24 - delivering news that the project is far from dead!
Each episode of The Confesssion will be five to seven minutes long, and the plot centers on a hit-man confessing his sins to a priest on a snowy Christmas Eve. The story features flashbacks as the hit-man tells the priest how he came to visit him, climaxing with a twist. You can check out the teaser for the series here.
Sutherland talked to EW about the genesis of the series:
"It came about in such a different way. I was meeting a couple friends of mine, who wanted to introduce me to Chris Young (CEO of Digital Broadcasting Group). I know so little about the internet, but that's what a lot of friends do for work. Most of that stuff being produced for the internet is comedy, very much like Jackass kind of material, which is great but didn't appeal to me. Chris started talking about wanting to do a drama, but his criteria was so different. A drama in five-minute episodes! It was one of those things, like a puzzle over the course of the lunch. It can't be that complicated to figure out a story in five minutes, right? I couldn't, and it frustrated the crap out of me. So I went home that night, still thinking about it, and it stayed with me for three days. I was falling asleep when I literally got this idea of a confessional."
The star shot the film last month in New York, but he stated that it was difficult, and far from the luxury of a typical Hollywood production:
"We called on a lot of favors. A dollar is a dollar. It gets you what you get. There's no way around that, so you're phoning dear friends for favors. None of us were paid what we normally get paid. Everybody found their own challenge in it, and that was the reason to do it. All of us believe very strongly that the internet is the future, the largest network in world, with the ability to reach a big audience."
The series, has an interesting (if maybe clichéd) premise, and it might just be the thing that takes web-based entertainment to the next level. While the internet is filled with great comedy and some interesting horror material, it hasn't really broken through to the mainstream . So could Sutherland's attachment to such a project legitimize it as a form of entertainment for the masses?
It's hard to say, at this juncture, but the main problem with a project of this kind (as stated by Sutherland in the above quote) is the length of each episode. It will be difficult to build drama in five minutes, and then sustain it over a ten episode story arc that will make viewers come back each week. It could be that viewers will just want to watch the series in its collected form, avoiding the film-makers initial intention.
As to returning to the role of Jack Bauer, Sutherland stated that there is still hope that a film version of 24 might just make it to the screen - despite the news that the recent script for project had been rejected by Fox. The gravel voiced actor said:
"We have a couple ideas we are working on that we are very excited about. 24 was a lot of work, it certainly had its ups and downs. But for so many reasons, it was one of the great experiences of my life. I miss the daily grind of it, which I was surprised about because that's the one thing you complain about all the time. Be careful what you ask for!"
He went on to call the project "the little engine that could" and said that although State of Play writer Billy Ray's script hadn't met expectations, some of the material would still be used:
"Billy did a fantastic job and there are aspects of that story [that will remain]. I couldn't be more thrilled."
So fans of Kiefer Sutherland and 24 can rejoice. Not only will the former Lost Boy be making an apperance on a hard drive near you with The Confession, but it looks like there is still a chance that you'll be able to see Jack Bauer on the big screen.

As film geeks, we do, from time to time, go into fits when we hear about unique ways to see cinema classics -- Jaws on the beach, for instance -- that we couldn't get to. But this Saturday, at the renovated Kessler Theater in Dallas, we're pretty sure we have the best chance of seeing a once in a lifetime screening in the way it was meant to be seen.
Turn back the hands of time for...oh, a couple of decades, and you may recall the Kessler Theater was once a movie house. Now that it's been renovated, it's a multi-use space that includes local music and other performances, though this event takes the Theater back to it's roots by screening Charlie Chaplin's 1921 film "The Kid" -- complete with a live music score from guitarist/composer Marc Ribot.
Ribot will launch the "Storytellers at The Kessler" series hosted by the theater, where they will bring in artists to perform sets of material outside their normal presentation -- case in point, a live music score to a silent movie. The Kessler group is even encouraging attendees to dress up in period costumes -- think Prohibition-era, folks -- to complete the back-in-time effect.
"In all my time of promoting shows and putting on events in Dallas, I can honestly say that I've never seen anything like what we're doing this Saturday night," Kessler Artistic Director Jeffrey Liles told us in an e-mail. "Just seeing a Charlie Chaplin film inside the building will be a poignant moment, but having one of the greatest living film score composers on hand to provide a live score will almost certainly be a once-in-a-lifetime experience."
Doors open at 7 p.m., show starts at 8. Find tickets and additional information at the official Kessler Theater website.

God and politics
By Peter Cavanaugh
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful." - Lucius Annaeus Seneca- 62 A.D.
During his five-day visit to Poland last week, Pope Francis encouraged hundreds of thousands of young people gathered for World Youth Day to ignore computer screens and video games in favor of social activism and political interaction.
Both of our Republican and Democratic Conventions here in America prominently included mentions of Hillary Clinton's Methodist upbringing, Tim Kaine's Jesuit education, Mike Pence's lifetime embrace of fundamentalist Christian values and Donald Trump's unbelievably huge, bigger than anything you could ever imagine religious beliefs -- the ones that everybody's talking about.
Alleged divine initiation and encouragement of all parties involved in virtually every war in the history of our species is a matter of established record. God, by any name or concept, always seems to be on both the winning and losing sides of every fight. Our Battle Hymn of the Republic mentions Christ by name, even as Hitler's Germany was a Christian nation of over sixty million souls, although Adolf was never called a "Radical Christian Terrorist."
Christianity remains by far the world's largest religion with an estimated 2.2 billion adherents, nearly a third (31%) of all 6.9 billion people on the planet. Islam is second with 1.6 billion believers or 23% of the global population. Hinduism places third with a billion members (15%) and Buddhists come in fourth with a half-billion practitioners representing 7.1% of worshipers. Meanwhile, 1.1 billion non-affiliated folks (16.4% of earthlings) aren't on board with anything traditional. This grouping includes atheists, agnostics and people who do not identify with any particular religion. By 2050, demographers predict that Christianity and Islam will tie for first place with a total of six billion practitioners - around three billion each.
It seems embarrassingly clichéd, if not childishly simple to suggest that we all need to get along together, but anyone who denies the absolute, immediate, critical urgency of such a notion is nothing more than a dangerous fool.
With all this in mind as our contentious election cycle spins toward incomprehensible chaos, this seems a perfect time for serious reflection.
Dr. Andrew Fiala, Ph.D. is Chair of the Department of Philosophy and Director of the Ethics Center at Fresno State University. Professor Fiala is well known to area readers for his excellent "On Ethics" column that appears every Saturday in the Insight section of our sister newspaper, The Fresno Bee.
Dr. Fiala has degrees from UCLA and Vanderbilt University and is the author or editor of a dozen books. He has published more than 50 scholarly articles and has written hundreds of op-ed essays. His scholarly research focuses on war and peace, politics, religion, and ethics.
As a member of the Executive Committee of the Oakhurst Democratic Club and moderator of our monthly meetings, I contacted Andy a while back and asked him if he would consider being a special guest speaker as we ended our summer hiatus in August – after the national conventions of both major parties concluded and things were really starting to heat up.
Dr. Fiala stated that he would be delighted to do so, but wondered what he should talk about. Flashing back on many challenging hours of Philosophy and Theology courses with those "Take No Prisoner" Jesuits at Le Moyne in Syracuse, I instantly suggested he speak on "God and Politics." Andy enthusiastically replied, "I'll be glad to!" And he will.
I hope you'll join us this Saturday for our Aug. 6 meeting of the Oakhurst Democratic Club at Denny's on Highway 41. As usual, breakfast is served at 8:30 a.m., and our program with Dr. Fiala will begin at 9:30. He'll speak for around a half-hour, then we'll have plenty of time left for questions and discussion.
Bring cool friends. It doesn't cost anything. The general public is always invited, meaning you don't have to be a Democrat to attend, but if you are and wish to join the club, please consider this a personal invitation.
Make yourself matter.
Get in the game.
Nov. 8 is less than a 100 days away.
This one's for keeps.

I believe that if Barack Obama wanted to absolutely insure his re-election, he should call a press conference tomorrow and announce that he'd decided we've accomplished all we are going to accomplish in Afghanistan and therefore, he is ending the war and will begin bringing all our troops home on an expedited schedule. ASAP, in other words.
In 2008, the U.S. suffered 155 casualties - in 2009, 317 - in 2010, 499 - in 2011, 418 and so far in 2012, 261. Is anyone under the illusion, including the President, that these deaths have made a real difference? Is anyone under the illusion, that Afghanistan won't revert to its true self when we finally leave, just as it did when Russia left? Is anyone under the illusion that Hamid Karzai and his administration aren't corrupt? How could it be that we watched Russia practically bankrupt itself beating its head against the Afghan wall, then we go in and do exactly the same thing....with the same results....for 11 freaking years. Our longest war ever!
In the meantime, the very "partners" we are supposed to be training are killing our own soldiers. Oh, that's not every single one of them. I realize there are Afghanis with good intentions for their country. But it's time to let them have at it. If they can't take it on their own by now, it's on them. We've wasted enough blood and money on a thankless mission.

In the spirit of change and a new beginning for Washington, D.C., the Office of the President Elect today announced that former White House intern Monica Lewinsky has accepted the nomination to a new cabinet position in the Obama administration.
Barring Senate confirmation, Lewinsky will be nominated to the post of Secretary of Internal and External Affairs. An official news conference has been scheduled for Tuesday morning at the Washington Press Office. It's said Lewinsky will be wearing a new fashion from Mugato: Stained Blue Dress.
Lewinksy was made famous during Interngate, the scandal that nearly brought down former president Bill Clinton. Clinton's famous public remark, "No, I did not have sex with that woman…Miss Lewinsky," transformed over the months and years and decades of the Richard Mellon Scaife-funded investigation by special prosecutor Kenneth Starr into, "Yeah, I had her, right there in the Oval Office with Arafat waiting in the Rose Garden. She liked cigars too…but she didn't smoke 'em."
The scandal prompted the incoming Bush administration to fumigate the Oval Office in 2001. A similar undertaking has been scheduled for January 2009, prior to the arrival of the new administration, to rid the entire building of cockroaches.
Reactions to Lewinsky's appointment were mixed.
"It is downright disgusting," conservative mogul Rush Limbaugh said today on his galactically broadcast radio program to 57 million listeners who voted for John McCain. "The American people have been bamboozled, I tell you. They just don't listen anymore to the Rushie, the Mahatma, the Soothsayer of Conservatism, the…oh, hell…SOMEBODY get me a painkiller! This is going to send me spiraling back down into drug addiction!"
John Podesta, former chief of staff under Clinton and head of Obama's transition team, meanwhile, called it a bold move for the incoming president. "Change was served today with this appointment. And hope. We think Miss Lewinsky is just the woman to handle all affairs, both internal and external, as she has vast experience in this area, even beyond her time as an intern. Besides, I never had a chance with that hound dog Bill around to…you know…see what she can do in a federal office."
Lewinsky's appoint follows a long convoy of former Clinton staffers, friends, business partners, family members, lost neighbors, pets, and other carrion back from exile into Washington. In recent days, the Obama administration has staffed about 90 percent of its cabinet posts with former Clinton people, including the former first lady.
Senator Hillary Clinton, who accepted the post of Secretary of State on Friday, was said to be "very interested" in working with Lewinsky. A Clinton insider, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Mrs. Clinton is very excited at the chance to work with Lewinsky. The two have "a lot in common," the official said, adding that "the senator believes she can learn a lot from someone like Miss Lewinsky."
[Cue Frank Zappa: "With a tongue like a cow she could make you go, WOW!"]
He said that former Clinton officials Vincent Foster and Ron Brown were also being considered for positions in the new administration, although President-elect Barrack Obama has specifically told Brown he needs to do something about the suspicious hole in his head.
