Archaeological studies of the stone architecture in the Southeast, well . . . they just got "forgotten"
A husband and wife team of archaeologists, who specialize in the Pueblo and Anasazi Cultures of the American Southwest, wrote POOF, asking how the large complexes of indigenous stone architecture could be completely overlooked by their peers in the Southeast. They also wondered how the obvious Mesoamerican influence on indigenous sites in the Southeast could be denied.
The high civilizations of Mesoamerica were much closer, distance and time-wise, to Muskogean towns that they were to Chaco Canyon. There has been no significant opposition within the archaeological profession to the belief that Chaco Canyon had cultural connections to Mesoamerica.
When they asked these questions at professional conferences, the Southeastern archaeologists bristled and refused to respond to them.
Yes, it is rather odd that the contemporary archaeological profession seems to have no trouble believing that indigenous peoples in the Southwest had contacts with Mesoamerica, but has a hissy fit when the same explanation is discussed in the Southeast. Several stone architecture complexes WERE visited by European explorers and traders, plus, much more recently by professional archaeologists. The following is a chronology of those visits to stone architecture sites by archaeologists.
The Cities of Gold
The origin of the "Cities of Gold" myth that early European explorers thought to exist in the Southern Highlands was the Kingdom of Apalache in Northeast Georgia. The Apalache coated the clay stucco on their temples and elite housing with gold-colored mica flakes. The mica caused the structures to glisten like gold. In fact, the Apalache believed that gold-colored mica was a form of gold. These buildings were constructed of stacked stone on the side of mountains and hills. The commoners lived in separate villages along the rivers and built their houses with wood frames, covered with wattle and daub (clay reinforced with wood lathing.)
1. 1873 – Charles C. Jones: The pioneer of Southeastern archaeology, Charles C. Jones, Jr. wrote, "When English speaking settlers came into the Southern Piedmont and Mountains, they encountered stone structures throughout the landscape. There were many stone walls, stone altars (cairns) and even the ruins of stone buildings. Within a generation most of the stone structures were gone and almost forgotten. They had become foundations, chimneys and the walls of new buildings. No one knew who had built these mysterious structures."
"It was supposed that such things could not have been built by Indians, since it was thought that American Indians were too primitive to create such architecture. It was supposed that perhaps the Spanish or Prince Madoc built them."
The stated purpose for Jones writing his landmark book, Antiquities of the Southern Indians, was to prove that the mounds and stone structures found in Dixie were built by indigenous peoples, not colonists from the Old World. Both Jones, and a contemporary in Tennessee, Gates P. Thruston, speculated that the most sophisticated buildings and pottery may have been created by advanced Native Americans, who migrated into the region from elsewhere, but who had "died out" by the time English colonists arrived.
2. 1883-1889 – Smithsonian Institute: Cyrus Thomas, chief archaeologist for the Smithsonian Institute, and James Moody, an ethnologist with the Smithsonian, supervised a cursory archaeological survey of North Georgia. Thomas noted the locations of many stone rings and cairns that are no longer visible or at least cannot be found. The Smithsonian survey mentioned that there were many stone walls in North Georgia near stone cairns and stone circles, but assumed that frontier farmers had built the walls.
Thomas ran out of time and so asked Moody to travel down from North Carolina and survey some mounds. Moody was not an archaeologist and knew practically nothing about Georgia's Native American history. He had spent several weeks interviewing North Carolina Cherokees, concerning their traditional oral folklore. He therefore labeled any Native American archaeological site in North Georgia, which he visited as being "Cherokee."
Thomas presumed that the ancestors of the Creeks built these structures and noted that Cherokees in the early 1800s had told white settlers that they didn't know who built the mounds in either North Carolina or Georgia. One sees both points of view in articles published by Thomas and Moody for the Smithsonian publications of that era.
3. 1940 – Robert Wauchope: For the last time, many stone structures in North Georgia received professional archaeological analysis immediately prior to World War II. Archaeologist Robert Wauchope became the University of Georgia's first archaeology professor and simultaneously directed a WPA funded archaeological survey of North Georgia. Wauchope noted some locations of stone ruins, but generally did not speculate who built them.
Wauchope made no mention of Track Rock Gap in his report on Union County, GA. Evidently, if he was even aware of the stone ruins, he assumed that they were too large and sophisticated to have been built by American Indians. He spent the largest proportion of his time that year in the Nacoochee Valley. Ironically, he excavated a series of village and mound sites that ring the Kenimer Mound, but was not even aware that the Kenimer Mound was there. At that time, the ruins of a large stone temple were still on top of the Kenimer Mound.
There are also two large terrace complexes on the sides of the Nacoochee Valley, which apparently Wauchope assumed were built by 19th century farmers. However, Wauchope DID study the massive ball court in Sautee and give it an archaeological site number. Unfortunately, in the 1970s, the State of Georgia's Department of Transportation didn't check the archaeological site files and built a highway across the northeast corner of the ball court.
Also unfortunately, Wauchope skipped Jackson County and most of Gwinnett County, where the greatest concentration of stone ruins are located. Since they are near the University of Georgia, he planned to return the next year and finish up. Instead, he accepted a position at the University of Kentucky. Ironically, after World War II, Wauchope became best known for his studies of Maya sites. There is no published evidence that Wauchope ever went back to Georgia to study the Mesoamerican connections there.
4. 1956 – Phillp Smith: Archaeologist Phillip Smith of the Peabody Museum of Harvard University surveyed several stone structure sites on mountaintops in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky. At most sites in Alabama and Georgia, he dug test pits, prepared a precise land survey, but did not fully excavate any of the ruins. The sites included famous sites such as the Old Stone Fort in Tennessee and Georgia's Fort Mountain, plus many sites little known, even within the archaeology profession. Smith visited the ball court in Sautee, but was puzzled as to what it was used for. The most thoroughly studied stone structure complex was on the top of Aleck Mountain, southeast of the Track Rock terrace complex. Smith speculated that these structures were built by Native Americans, but was not certain.
5. 1969 – Arthur Kelly: One of the famous archaeologists, who excavated Etowah Mounds and the Director of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Georgia, Kelly later found artifacts along the Chattahoochee River near attapulgite mines, which he thought were either made in Mesoamerica or copies of artifacts made in Mesoamerica. By accident, he became aware of a cluster of large stone architecture sites within a few minutes drive of the University of Georgia. Most of these archaeological zones did not even have official site numbers. He initiated plans to excavate them, but was soon sacked because of his public statements concerning the discovery of Mesoamerican artifacts on the Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers.
6. 1978 – William Jefferies: Archaeologist William Jefferies of the University of Georgia excavated stone mounds within two archaeological zones in Monroe County, GA. He noted a concentration of stone mounds, cairns and walls in the Oconee River Valley. His report included an overview of many stone structures in the Southern Piedmont and southern edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains. He did not discuss any terrace complexes.
Perhaps one of the most bizarre understatements in the history of American archaeology is found in Jefferies' report on the excavation of a stone mound that he placed in the Woodland Period. He nonchalantly mentioned that he found two bronze axes of European design in the mound. Europeans stopped making bronze tools around 500 BC!
7. 1991 – Jack Wynn: Archaeologist Jack Wynn of the US Forest Service prepared a booklet for the University of Georgia's Department of Anthropology on Mississippian Period archaeological sites in northern Georgia. The report did not discuss any of the stone architecture sites, including the ruins at Track Rock Gap. However, many of them by that time had official archaeological site numbers.
8. 1990s – Metro Atlanta : Real estate developers in Gwinnett and Cobb Counties (North Metro Atlanta) purchased large real estate tracts that contained stone cairns, stone rings, retaining walls and building ruins. Their desire to bulldoze the ruins provoked a series of legal battles and a bitter confrontation between two factions within the archaeology profession. One believed that Native Americans built the stone structures. The other believed that farmers clearing fields built the cairns, stone rings and terrace walls. Keep in mind that many of the cairn complexes in North Georgia contain over a hundred cairns.
Scott Hudgens, a history lover and the developer of one of the nation's largest shopping malls wanted to save a terrace complex, located on the site of the planned mall. However, to justify its preservation financially, he would be a need to have professional archaeologists declare the stone walls to be historically significant, so the developer could donate a historic preservation easement and take a tax deduction. Three archaeological teams were hired in succession. None would declare the stone ruins to be historic. The terrace complex was covered with dirt and made into a parking area.
Neither of the factions did their homework. There were several eyewitness accounts of European traders or colonists living in proto-Creek Indian towns. Just because a European artifact was found in the midst of stone ruins, did not mean that they were built by Europeans.
Gwinnett County elected officials became frustrated because they could not find any archaeological firm or professor, who would put a "historically significant" label on the stone ruins sprawling across a massive tract of land in the northwestern part of the county that was slated for development.
Rather than see what was obviously to them, a very ancient town and ceremonial site, the County Commissioners purchased the entire tract of land from the developer and made it a regional park. That park is probably the location of Melilot, the capital of the Apalache Kingdom. Melilot contained a European colony from 1566 to the early 1700s.
9. 2001 – Johannes Loubser: South African archaeologist, Johannes Loubser, was retained by a neighborhood group in Union County to map and study the Track Rock terrace complex in Union County, GA. The project was endorsed by the U. S. Forest Service. The half square mile archaeological zone was entirely on federal land, managed by the USFS. A substantial contribution to the professional fees was made by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
Loubser did not realize that the Track Rock petroglyphs and nearby terrace complex were inside the boundaries of the Creek Confederacy until 1785. Coosa's (Upper Creek Indians) continued to live along nearby Coosa Creek even after the title of the land changed hands. Some of their descendants still live in this location.
As a result of the funding from the Cherokees and unfamiliarity with the cultural history of both the Creek Indians and Mesoamerica, Loubser examined archaeological sites 45 to 75 miles away in North Carolina to compare with Track Rock, rather than examining the 14 designated mound, village and stone structure archaeological sites within Union County – where Track Rock Gap is located. One former Etowah I Period town site with mounds and another mountainside stone structure complex can literally be seen from the top of the Track Rock Terrace Complex. There is also another cluster of petroglyphs on the edge of Thunderstruck Mountain about four miles west from Track Rock Gap. It was also not mentioned. Loubser described the glyphs, which are also found on proto-Creek art in several parts of Georgia as "graffiti by bored Cherokee hunters."
Loubser prepared a scaled site plan of the 200+ stone structures within his designated study area, but was apparently not aware of several dozen more terraces outside its boundaries. He dug test pits at two locations and sub-contracted the soil and radiocarbon analysis to New South Associates, Inc., an archaeological firm in the Atlanta Area.
New South Associates determined that the oldest soil layer in agricultural terrace was deposited around 1018 AD. The last deposit on this terrace was around 1500 AD. Napier, Etowah Complicated Stamp and Etowah Plain Redware potsherds were found in the test pits. They were dated to as early as 750 AD and 1000 AD respectively. Loubser described these classic Georgia pottery styles as being typical of the Cherokees in North Carolina. The Cherokees were no where around when this pottery was made.
The mixture of top soil, charcoal and potsherds found at agricultural terraces at the Track Rock terraces is prime evidence of biochar agriculture, but none of the archaeologists involved with the project had any experience in Mesoamerica, so therefore did not recognize the evidence.
Astonishingly, in 2013, the Georgia Council of Professional Archaeologists adopted a bizarre, lengthy resolution stating among many other things that the 300+ agricultural terraces at Track Rock Gap were burial sites, not agricultural terraces – most likely of great Cherokee chiefs. The resolution illustrates how far detached from reality this group of archaeologists has become. They apparently are not aware that there are over a dozen other terrace complexes in Georgia, deep within traditional Creek territory.
In his 2001 report, Loubser stated that there was inadequate evidence to discern what ethnic group built the terraces. He now states in public and in writing that the terraces were built by the Cherokees as locations for performing sacred dances and that the other stone structures are the grave markers of great Cherokee chiefs.
Meanwhile . . . in their continuing obsession to become sofistikated Injuns like the Creeks, the Tribal Cultural Preservation Office of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in North Carolina adopted a shell gorget, commonly known as the "Etowah Princess" and unearthed at Etowah Mounds in Georgia, as their logo in 2013.
In 2015, the new Cherokee-English Dictionary has a gorget, unearthed near Wetumka, Alabama, as its book cover. This design also happens to be the official seal of the federally-recognized Alabama-Coushatta Tribe! The gorget is described in the book's preface as traditional Cherokee art.
10. 2002 – National Park Service: The Southeastern Regional Office of the National Park Service in Atlanta, intrigued by the Track Rock terrace complex, issued a "Request for Proposals" to carry out field surveys of all known fieldstone Native American sites in the North Georgia Mountains. The RFP required individuals with the physical condition to climb remote mountains to measure and photograph structures. The second aspect of the proposal requested a scaled location map, created by CADD software, compatible with AutoCAD. The firms submitting proposals were small archaeology and historic preservation architecture firms in the Atlanta Area – evidently with staff members, who liked to rough it.
About a month after the deadline for submitting proposals, the RFP was withdrawn and replaced with another one. The only difference in this RFP was that it required the use of Bentley Systems software for preparation of the location map. Bentley Software was the most expensive CADD software in the world. It was then mainly used by defense contractors, the aerospace industry, Haliburton Industries and international engineering firms that did work for the Department of Defense.
All the original firms were forced to drop out, because the cost of the software exceeded the professional fees that would be paid them. Apparently the contract based on the second RFP was never authorized because the bids from international corporations greatly exceeded the budget.
11. 2007 – Harry Holstein: Dr. Harry Holstein, an anthropology professor at the Department of Physical and Earth Sciences at Jacksonville State University, near Anniston, AL directed the study of fieldstone ruins of Calhoun County, AL. The most spectacular of these complexes is located on Skeleton Mountain, southeast of Anniston, at an elevation of 1,700 feet above sea level. It has been labeled Archaeological Site 1-CA-157. The Skeleton Mountain site contains the same architectural features found at several sites in the Georgia Mountains to the east. However, the report about the Skeleton Mountain does not even mention several similar sites just across the state line in Georgia.
12. 2013 – Sandy Creek Terrace Complex: After reading articles about the Track Rock Terrace Complex, historic preservationists in Clarke and Jackson County, GA attempted to persuade anthropology-archaeology professors at the University of Georgia to examine several stone terrace complexes in their counties. One of the largest sites is a county owned park and only six miles from the university's campus. The professors refused to visit the sites, stating that "they didn't want to be associated with the Maya thing."
A team from the People of One Fire inspected a 2000+ acre archaeological zone in Jackson County that contains numerous stone walled agricultural terraces, stone cairns, oval stone mounds and the ruins of rectangular stone buildings. There is also substantial evidence of Colonial Period gold smelting activities.
The ruins are in the drainage basin of Sandy Creek, which is a major tributary of the Oconee River. The ruins also adjoin an ancient Native American trade path that connected the Dahlonega gold fields with the head of canoe navigation on the Oconee River.
Sandy Creek Park is jointly owned by Jackson and Clarke Counties, but the stone ruins are in Jackson County. The terraces identified by Clarke County preservationists in their own county were obviously created by mechanized equipment in the 20th century. During the Roosevelt Administration, Southern farmers received financial assistance, if they terraced sloping cultivation fields.

Whose Day Is It? Your real estate agents?
Remember this is your wedding so the day should be about what you and your partner want. It is impossible to please everyone when organizing a wedding so don't try. Please the two most important people Jason Sanders Jersey , yourself and your partner. If you really want to avoid upsetting people try compromising with them over some details of the wedding.
Start planning right away. Use a folderexercise bookindex cards or a computer program to list everything you can think of relative to your wedding -and don't forget the honeymoon. List dates when jobs need to be completed by and check them off once done. Keep a record of everything -deposits, receipts, real estate agents,phone calls and written confirmation of any bookings.
Work out a budget for your wedding and once set try not to exceed it by more than the smallest of margins. Wedding costs have a habit of blowing out of proportion. If you find it hard to keep under budget look for areas where you can economize. Could you borrow a friend's car instead of hiring one? A wedding doesn't need to expensive to be wonderful.
Share the Workload
Once you have a list of everything that needs to be done before the wedding day Jerome Baker Jersey , enlist all the help and support you can. Ask your attendants, family and close friends to help with various tasks. People love a wedding and love to be involved so let them.
Keep problems in proportion. It is not worth upsetting yourself, and everyone else, over minor details. If the bridesmaids' shoes are one shade lighter in color than you wanted it isn't the end of the world. Learn some relaxation techniques or have a soothing massage if it all gets too much.
Enjoy the lead up
The time leading up to your wedding is a very special time but it will go very quickly. Don't spend it going crazy over wedding preparations or arguing with everyone within your radius. Don't say things you may later regret. If you feel yourself losing your cool walk away for a while and calm down.
Take Time Out
Each week take time out with your partner and agree not to mention the word 'wedding' or anything related to weddings. Chill out with a good bottle of wine Mike Gesicki Jersey , a tasty meal and each other's company.
The Big Day
Finally enjoy every moment of your wedding day. It may come along but once in your lifetime so savor every moment of it.

Re: Battered forest
As Purefeather reached through this area, the wind became harsher. Feeling the tough wind through her feathers, she decided to land onto a pine tree. Resting her wings, Purefeather is now on a look out for food. Narrowing those beutiful eyes, she spotted a mouse climbing onto a small rock. Clever thing, it went through a sheltered area of the rock. Purefeather waited for her prey, patiently staring. A few minutes later, the mouse decided to crawl outside. Lifting her wings and following the patterns of the wind, she held her last breath, concentrating on where to aim. Purefeather kicked her claws away from the pine tree's branch, and swooped down at the mouse before it could see her. As Purefeather were to catch the mouse, the mouse spotted her and quickly rushed back inside. But it was too late. Purefeather had grasped the mouse into her claws, feeling the poor mouse trying to sqirm its way out. Before heading back to camp, I might as well catch a few more prey she thought. The female flew high to another pine tree, watching carefully. Lucky enough, she found two other mice crawling for a home. Squeezing the mouse grasped in her claws tighter a little, she swooped down to the mouse behind the leading mouse. Catching the mouse with her other claw, the leading mouse didn't see Purefeather, but noticed the mouse is gone. Flying in circles around the last mouse, she had to catch it quickly before it finds somewhere to hide. As Purefeather swooped down for the last catch, the mouse luckily found a rabbit's burrow. As it fell through, Purefeather failed the catch. Well, two should be enough. Until then, I'll hunt for more she thought, as she screeched at the lucky mouse and flew back to camp.

I recently set off on a trip to London and whilst I was there I attempted night photography for the first time. I'd been reading about night photography for a few weeks so I knew how to go about long exposure's on my Nikon, I never expected the results to come out so well though! Photography is all about light, so shooting long exposure night photos are one of photography's most challenging yet rewarding styles.
I've collated a selection of my favourite photos from my trip including fancy light work spelling out "K.M." outside the famous Buckingham Palace, the London Eye and Tower Bridge all of which were achieved with a long exposure. Should you wish to order any photos as prints or as handmade printed A6 blank greetings cards please contact me for more information.
I hope you enjoy and please feel free to comment or leave feedback, it would be greatly appreciated 🙂

From the Inflection point post last week?
The dark blue line holding resistance now is the top P2 trendline. Red line was the prior high at 1075. I will begin entering shorts when the yellow wedge cracks. I'll have very tight stops if I do.
I do not like shorting going into earnings, but it is OK if you are disciplined, use stops and have a exit plan if it blows up.
As a bear I hate to think of how earnings will be manipulated these next few weeks, BUT just in case someone surprises to the downside I'll have powder dry and be ready to react (either way).
Yes, I said either way.

Former General Insists Russia Lost Portable Nuclear BombsLos Angeles Times
Alexander Lebed, the former Russian general and presidential hopeful, has been broadcasting his claim over the past week that Russia has lost track of 100 nuclear bombs the size of suitcases.
"A very thorough investigation is necessary," Lebed reiterated to reporters Monday. "The state of nuclear security in Russia poses a danger to the whole world." The general's allegations are roundly denied by Russian officials, who contend that all of Russia's nuclear weapons are safely under control.
Despite the official denials, Lebed is pursuing his allegations undeterred. In an interview with CBS' "60 Minutes" aired Sunday, Lebed said the suitcase bombs were ideal weapons for terrorists because they could be armed and detonated by a single person within half an hour.
One of the one-kiloton bombs could kill 100,000 people, he said. Of 250 suitcase devices made by the Soviet Union, he said, 100 are unaccounted for.
According to Lebed, the suitcase bombs, measuring about 23 by 16 by 8 inches, were deployed by the Soviet Union in special brigades in some of the empire's remote regions. After the breakup of the Soviet state, many of the suitcases vanished in what became independent republics, where they could fall into the hands of terrorists, he said.
Panel Backs Postmaster in Urging Negotiating Individual Bulk RatesThe WASHINGTON Post
A panel composed of large commercial mailers recommended Monday that Congress give the U.S. Postal Service authority to negotiate postage rates with individual bulk mailing companies.
To overcome the high labor costs, the committee said, the agency should boost its investment in automation and work with employees "to reduce the unit costs of handling and delivering all classes of mail."
The committee supported allowing the Postal Service Board of Governors, the panel of presidential appointees that oversees the agency, to overrule by a majority vote stamp-price decisions issued by the independent Postal Rate Commission. Currently, all nine governors must agree to overrule the commission.
John T. Estes, executive director of the Main Street Coalition for Postal Fairness, a group of newspapers and other mailers, attacked the report, saying its findings would hurt small mailers.
"We have consistently questioned the appropriateness of large volume discounts and a weakened Postal Rate Commission," Estes said.

A Venus-Mercury link on your birthday means that your powers of persuasion will be high over the coming 12 months. Both at home and at work you should be able to find just the right words to get others to work with you rather than against you.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20):
No matter what you may have planned for the rest of the year, the rules of the game will change over the next few days, so try to keep your options open. The less you commit yourself to now the more room for manoeuvre you will have later on.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):
What occurs over the next three or four days will remind you that you should never take anything for granted. You should know by now that it is just when you are most satisfied with your lot that the earth shifts beneath your feet!

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):
You need to come to a final decision about a partnership matter that has been causing you no end of problems. Deep down you know you need to cut the knot but you can't work out how best to go about it. You'll find a way today.
LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):
A work or health issue has been annoying you for quite some time but when Saturn moves in your favour again later in the week you will get the chance to deal with it once and for all. Be ruthless with yourself but lenient with other people.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):
You are allowed to be less than perfect. Too often of late you have been unnecessarily hard on yourself because, in your own mind at least, you failed to reach a certain level of success. Time to remind yourself that you are human like everyone else.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):
According to the planets you have been taking too much for granted, especially in one-to-one relationships and maybe even at home, and what happens over the next few days will remind you that you should always be on your guard.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):
What occurs today or tomorrow will force you to think again about something you have always taken for granted. It's okay to have strong opinions about the big issues in life but sometimes you need to be able to change your outlook. Can you do that?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):
A solution to your cash-flow problem is about to reveal itself but it may not be entirely pleasant. Saturn, planet of restriction, warns you may have to make some major cuts in your spending, some of which will go deeper than mere luxuries.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):
You may not be in the mood to make compromises at the moment but when Saturn, your ruler, ends its retrograde phase on Thursday you will no longer have any say in the matter. Do what is required of you and do it with a smile on your face.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):
Why are you running away from your problems? You should be running straight at them. As is so often the case what scares you the most right now will most likely turn out to be something you can quite easily handle. Face up to your fears.
PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):
A friendship has been going through a tough time of late but before this week is over you will be back on good terms again. Don't bother trying to work out why you fell out, just agree to get past it and start doing good things together again.

It has been found out in a scientific study of chemicals that are contained in cannabis plants, that these kind of chemicals, called cannabinoids, may help treat a range of illnesses and symptoms and that's why the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved two kinds of medications that contain cannabinoids in pill form. The cannabis plant has yet to be conducted in a large scale medium, since FDA requires for a large scale of clinical trials of any new form of medication, and this is the reason why the plant is not yet a FDA-approved medicine. Learn more about cannabis, go here quantum9.net.
Having the same chemical structure as that of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabinoids is the main component of the cannabis plant and this chemical is also found in the human body and contributes in the functioning of the natural senses of taste, touch, smell, hearing, and sight, as well as a contributor in regulating our mind process, such as feeling pleasure, memory, thinking, concentration, awareness of time, body movement, pain, and appetite. The two main forms of cannabinoids in cannabis plants are delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), such that THC is shown to be useful in the following: increases appetite, reduces nausea, decreases pain, inflammation and swelling and muscle control problems, while CBD is found to be useful in reducing pain and inflammation, controlling epileptic seizures, and treating some forms of mental illness. Read more great facts, click here.
Diseases that affect the immune system, like HIV, AIDS, multiple sclerosis; inflammation; pain; seizures; mental disorders; and even substance use disorders – the symptoms of these illnesses are being conducted in pre-clinical and clinical trials, although not yet in large scale trials, using cannabis extracts.
Lately, doctors are now prescribing the FDA-approved drugs, containing THC, dronabinol and nabilone to treat cancer patients experiencing nausea caused by chemotherapy and are used to treat extreme weight loss of patients suffering from AIDS. THC and CBD contained in a mouth spray used for treating muscle control problems caused by multisclerosis has been approved for use in Europe, UK, and Canada.
Cannabis plants help reinforce the strength of medication when combined with other herbal plants to benefit many kinds of illnesses, such as: cannabis combined with lemon balm and hops helps to reduce stress by relaxing the physical and mental state of the body; cannabis combined with ginseng is useful in the treatment of cholesterol, diabetes, nervousness; cannabis with turmeric helps in the digestion, reduces inflammation, and treatment of cancer; cannabis combined with St. John's wort and Rhodiola treats depression and protects the heart; and many more beneficial combinations.
Side-effects or contraindications are also seen in cannabis use and these are: cannabis when taken in strong doses has a tendency to unbalance the nervous system causing short/medium term loss of memory, concentration, drive, loss of self-control, loss of ability to analyse, and can cause a sense of detachment; smoking cannabis can weaken the immune system.

Casual dating vs serious dating
Our company is exclusive only once we state our company is exclusive or contemporary methods of dating
In today's contemporary world, it really is sometimes very difficult to define whether folks are dedicated to each other or are far more like friend with advantages. Therefore, when you're dating somebody, how could you comprehend whether it's one thing severe or perhaps for enjoyable? Should one get deeper into this concept or let it all just go obviously?
Many people try not to constantly realize the distinction between casual dating and one that is serious. Well, certainly, casual relationship can differ and may include focus on one individual or a few. Also, you can fulfill somebody every time or simply just during the weekend. The situation of intercourse can also be personal and dating that is casual ad may well not add it, according to a couple's requirements and objectives. Whereas the so-called serious dating is about being monogamous, meaning dedicated to one and just partner just.
Committed relationships are designed for those social individuals, that are thinking about romantic partnership, getting married, creating a household and thus on and so on.
Finally, it mightn't go amiss saying that both these forms of relationship have actually advantages and disadvantages. Consequently, it is usually a matter of personal option as well as the notion of what is best for you!
The degree of severity
Partners who will be into committed relationships are completely concentrated on the lovers. This implies they share values, support, respect, love, https://brightbrides.net trust as well as other aspects that are important. Furthermore, they're profoundly tangled up in one another's lives. As an example, they know one another's loved ones, buddies, favorite places, hobbies, passions, etc. Such couples execute a great job working on the future, e.g. partnership, residing together, engagement, marriage, kids, etc. Conversely, couples which can be into casual dating have never as objectives. The level of seriousness in both situations varies from high to low respectively in simple words.
Casual dating is more about seeing one another when it is comfortable both for parties. Frequently it's not more often compared to a days that are few week. This relationship doesn't include friends and furthermore, loved ones. Finally, it may be simply for sexual satisfaction which will be definitely normal nowadays if both people need it. Nonetheless, need not judge daters that are casual as even this type of a relationship sometimes results in a committed one.
Intimacy and feelings
Regarding for the relationship you're having, there was a possibility that is huge have intercourse in both of those. The main difference right here is that casual daters could be intimate with as much partners because they want. And also this is perhaps not considered as cheating. It is possible to fulfill multiple lovers for only a hook-up and get unfaithful. Just in case with severe relationship, this might be simply unsatisfactory. The partners are limited making love with other folks. It will be interesting to understand that sexual intercourse between committed people is often much deeper and much more psychological. It could be even said that sex between severe partners is much more intense, sensual and pleasant.
These are the emotional region of the matter, committed couples are in a winning place here too. Aside from enjoying their sexual life, they are also supportive of each and every other. They have been completely and utterly dedicated to a relationship. They worry about one another's emotions, emotions, make it possible to solve dilemmas, etc. Through good and times that are bad they're going to continually be here for every single other.
When it comes to casual 'couples', they've been interested in enjoyable, going out and stuff that is short-term limits and boundaries. Such daters usually are people that are young their 20s, who will be inexperienced but desire to get the very best with this life.
The long therefore the in short supply of it really is: then a committed relationship is for you if you have reached a stage in your life, where you are looking for a serious partner. If you are nevertheless ready to go out with numerous people that are attractive then you're welcome to the field of casual relationship. The choice is yours!

mood changers...
Sometimes a timid wild overlooked flower, or a broken mossy branch become great finds!
They can magically turn the dry, gray and empty mood into a totally "how great being here and now" moment! I have become pretty crafty in finding ways and reasons to bring to surface elements that unexpectedly transform my mood, my attitude, my dead end kind of times... More often than not the finds come from my garden; other times appear while waiting on a red light; the surrounding hassle on an intersection, that particular light that transforms the city's skyline into a bronze, silver, pewter mythical horizon, unexpected and unrelated happenings become scripts and give the "voice" of what I do next.

Sydney property market is cooling down as lending slows and vendor discounting rises.
The difference in asking price and final sale price in the city has increased to 4.4 per cent. Investment bank Morgan Stanley said the market is "unlikely" to "turn around anytime soon" due to limited credit and record household debt.
Over the past year, Sydney's median house prices have fallen by 4.5 per cent. Auction clearance rates also had a significant dip in June.
According to the bank's research, the falling prices reflected the national annual growth rate, which reaches its lowest in more than five years.
However, Deutsche Bank's economist Phil Odonaghoe said the worst of the market downturn has passed for Sydney.
"Recent auction clearance rates, running at a little under 50 per cent once adjusted for withdrawals, actually point to a very modest improvement in dwelling price growth over the coming six months, or more specifically, 'less negative' year-ended growth," Odonaghoe told the Sydney Morning Herald.

Unni Mukundan, one of the most eligible bachelors of Mollywood, has his own concepts about marriage. The rising star makes it clear that marriage will be an important turning point in his life. But we have to wait for that d-day. He has a number of films in kitty now. He is talented and is always seeking love and recognition more than money. With his winsome smile, the dimple-cheeked actor has cast a spell among the young audience. The handsome hunk talked to us nineteen to the dozen about his future life partner and more.
Excerpts from the interview
Wedding Street: What is your concept of marriage?
Unni : It is an everlasting friendship.
Wedding Street: Do you think that arranged marriages are more successful than love marriages?
Unni: Marriages, regardless of arranged or love, will turn successful only if there is love, trust, and companionship in it.
Wedding Street: Will you accept dowry? What is your opinion about dowry system in Kerala?
Unni: I'll marry only when I believe that I can take care of around 8 people in my life -- my parents, my siblings, my wife, and children-- without depending on others. And when I can do that, I need not have any help in terms of dowry. However, dowry altogether takes a different meaning if the bride's family gives it to her with love and care and not under any pressure. I'm against making relations a business. There are many things money can buy but not everything.
Wedding Street: What would you like to have as a theme for your wedding?
Unni: (Chuckles) Tricky question... I really haven't thought about getting married. If at all, it is supposed to happen. I want marriage to be solemnized at Guruvayoor or Paarmekaavu temple. That's it (again laughs).
Wedding Street: Your expectations about your life partner...
Unni: A girl who ends will be my shadow. She should understand me like I'm her soul. She should be a very dear friend. Let me tell you, I am a crazy creature. I'm more like a genie. I will do anything to please the person who comes into my life (smiles).
Wedding Street: Will your bride be from the film industry?
Unni: I don't think. If both are from the same industry it would leave us nothing to talk about and, on a selfish note, maybe I won't be able to see her act with anyone else other than me !(smiles).

As Cliff Ortmeyer, Global Head of Solutions Development, Premier Farnell explains, the internet has dramatically changed the way we design most electronic systems, with everything from signage at a bus stop, to complex industrial systems now using connectivity as a key part of their functionality. Perhaps the biggest change, however, is the introduction of sensor systems that collect data and pass the information to the cloud.
These small 'things' often do not have access to mains power. This means that they must have a means of powering themselves, something that is achieved using either batteries or energy harvesting.
For many applications, energy harvesting offers the most promising solution, offering the prospect of indefinite operation if the device can be designed to use less power than is available through energy harvesting.
However, many applications are not suitable for this approach because of limited energy availability or excessive system power demands. In such cases, batteries are needed to power the system.
Unfortunately, batteries will need changing at some point. With the cost of replacing batteries often higher than the cost of the IoT device itself, estimating the battery lifetime becomes critical.
Factors affecting battery life
The battery life of an IoT device is determined by a simple calculation - the battery capacity divided by the average rate of discharge. Minimising the energy used by the device or increasing the battery capacity will increase the lifetime of the battery and reduce the total cost of ownership of the product.
As batteries are often the largest part of an IoT sensor system, engineers often have a limited choice of which one to use. With a wide range of processors, communications technologies and software algorithms, however, the system can be designed to achieve the required lifetime.
IOT processor sleep modes
Processors designed for IoT applications offer a variety of ultra-low power sleep modes. Consider a device such as the TI CC2650MODA wireless microcontroller, for example. Figure 1 (below) shows the current consumed when the device is operating in different states. The power consumption varies by six orders of magnitude from shutdown to active operation.
Unless sampling of the data is very infrequent, shutting down the processor offers few advantages. Additional circuitry and code will be needed to restart, adding to cost and complexity. Furthermore, the standby modes consume less than 3µA, a level that would take at least eight years to discharge the battery - longer than the lifetime of many IoT devices and as much as the shelf life of a CR2032 battery. Hence there is usually little benefit in shutting down the processor completely.
Selecting the appropriate standby mode can be important. The lowest power standby mode consumes around one third of the current of the highest power option, but critically very little of the processor state is saved. Although some IoT applications will need to select the lowest power sleep modes, many will choose to preserve the cache to minimise the number of cycles required to perform the processing required in active mode.
Processing in active mode is a trade-off. Figure 1 shows that power consumption increases linearly with clock frequency due to the CMOS technology used for this type of IoT processor. Hence faster clock speeds might seem to equate with shorter battery life, but as there is a 'base' current of 1.45mA, the shorter wake time required to run the same algorithm at faster clock speeds can mean that slowing the clock is a false economy and actually reduces battery life.
There is also a finite wake time to switch from one mode to another - 151µs for the CC2650MODA to switch from standby to active, for example. At the maximum clock frequency of 48MHz, this means that power is consumed for more than 7,000 clock cycles as the processor wakes. For applications where only a small amount of code is needed, slowing down the clock to trade a longer code execution time for lower power during wake-up will extend the battery life. Equally, minimising the number of wake operations and performing as many tasks as possible before returning to standby can also increase battery life.
Modern IoT devices are very complex products that integrate many peripherals to allow a single-chip solution to satisfy diverse requirements. Frequently, however, IoT devices – particularly simple sensors – do not need this degree of functionality.
Figure 2 (below) shows the power consumption of the peripherals available in the TI CC2650MODA family. Although the current consumed by the various devices is very small - of the order of tens or low hundreds of microamperes - disabling them can have a significant impact. If no serial connectivity is required, a total of 318µA can be saved. Although this may not seem much, this current will have a significant impact on battery life.
IoT comms technologies
Choosing the right communications technology is often determined by the system requirements. For battery powered IoT systems, this almost always means using an RF link. For wireless communications, increased range or higher data rate will typically demand higher power consumption, and therefore the lowest-power communications technology that will meet these demands is often the obvious choice.
For IoT sensors there are several popular technologies. LoRa, for example, offers the capability to build a low-power, long-range WAN with a range of several kilometres, while Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) only communicates over short distances, but consumes significantly less current. Another decision that must be made is whether to use an on-chip device, or to select a separate chip to handle communications.
Managing the communications interface is critical, as even low power communications technologies will drain a battery very quickly, and often the processing requirement is higher than that of the RF stage.
To maximise the battery capacity devoted to communications, many IoT systems will only wake the communications circuits when they have sufficient data to make transmission worthwhile.
Sensor selection
Sensors can have a significant impact on the battery life of an IoT system. Resistance temperature detectors and thermistors, for example, change their resistance with temperature. A simple application where accuracy is not important might use a voltage divider, but a high precision system will need a current source, which will require more power. For many applications, integrated temperature sensors such as the TI LM35DZ are a good solution - this device is accurate to ±0.25°C at room temperature and draws only 60µA. Whichever sensor is chosen - it is critical that it draws power only when being used.
Battery technologies for IoT
One problem with the selection of batteries is the limited amount of data that is available for many of them. Other than the physical dimensions and output voltage, often the only other parameter specified is capacity. The battery capacity is obviously critical, as this determines the total energy available for an IoT device.
Battery quality has a significant impact on capacity. Simply specifying a particular type risks acquiring a cheaper device with low capacity, which in turn will reduce the battery life of the IoT application and incur expensive battery replacement costs. There may also be batteries with different chemistries available in a particular form factor - using a different chemistry can have a dramatic impact on battery life.
With the brief datasheets supplied for many batteries, it is tempting to assume that batteries are very simple devices and that the capacity of the battery is fixed, but in practice this is simply not true. For example, if the load demands more current, the lifetime is reduced dramatically. More importantly for some applications, as the temperature falls, the capacity of the battery drops considerably.
IoT applications draw current in pulses. The processor and sensor could draw several milliamperes for a short burst and then switch into a low power mode for a long period of time. Drawing current in pulses causes the output voltage to drop. Figure 3 (below) shows that even a 2mA pulsed load will cause the output of a CR2032 to fall from 3V to around 2.2V.
Battery shelf life is often ignored by engineers on the assumption that it relates to storing, rather than using, the battery. IoT applications, however, often need to operate for years from a single battery, making shelf life a critical factor. Most batteries offer a quoted shelf life of only seven or eight years.
Developing an IoT device that can operate from a battery requires careful engineering. Although the choice of components is important, bad design decisions can swamp the benefit of a lower power processor. The key to achieving good battery life is to ensure that the processor is in a low power standby mode as much as possible, and that the use of wireless communications is minimised.
In this context, Farnell element14 has developed a calculator that allows users to estimate the battery life of an IoT system quickly and easily (Figure 4 - above).
Users just enter the relevant parameters for their processor, communications device, sensor and battery as well as key details on software operation, and the calculator then estimates the battery life of the IoT design.

The Federal Reserve "may be in a better position" to reduce the size of its balance sheet now that it has raised interest rates twice in the past year, St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said Thursday.
In a speech to the Forecasters Club of New York, Bullard said the Fed may be able to use its balance sheet as a way to tighten monetary policy without putting exclusive emphasis on higher interest rates.
The Fed has amassed a $4.5 billion balance sheet since the 2008-2009 financial crisis as part of its innovative and controversial purchases of Treasurys and mortgage-backed securities in an effort to push long-term interest rates lower.
The Fed has been holding the balance sheet steady by reinvesting maturing proceeds from its holdings.
The first step to reduce the balance sheet would be to end reinvestment.
In his speech, Bullard noted that the Fed has not set a timetable for ending the current reinvestment policy.
The issue of the Fed's balance sheet is getting more attention this month. Fed officials have penciled in three rate hikes this year.
See: Fed's Harker backs three interest-rate hikes this year
Minutes of the Fed's December meeting show a discussion about the balance sheet policy and whether it need to be reviewed.
Read: Fed officials show central bank might have to raise interest rates at a faster-than-gradual pace
Chairwoman Janet Yellen has said that the Fed would hold the balance sheet steady until "the process of normalizing the federal funds rate is well underway."
But in an interview with Reuters earlier this week, Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren said the Fed should consider trimming the balance sheet. He said it might be a way to allow long-term rates to rise without pushing up the dollar.
And Philadelphia Fed President Patrick Harker told reporters that the Fed should start "serious consideration" of stopping reinvestment and unwinding the balance sheet, Reuters said.

On the Friendship their share of the turtle bounty is taken on board, and Eleanor resumes her journal
Next day, when the turtle was divided, three came to our share; they were immense creatures, weighing upwards of 400 pounds each. Our people brought on board several buckets full of turtle eggs, which they found buried in the sand; they were perfectly round, about the size of a small orange, with a soft flexible skin; they also brought off a number of little turtles, about the size of small crabs, and a number of tropic birds, who were so stupid as to suffer themselves to be taken by hand when sitting upon the rocks.
All being ready, we left the island on the 23d of March, and proceeded with a fine strong trade-wind towards the Equator, which we crossed on the 28th of March; from that time until the 3d of April we had much unsettled weather, with squalls, thunder and lightning, and almost constant rain. This was expected about these latitudes: however we now got into the regular north-east trade winds, about four degrees north, and proceeded steadily on, in a north-west direction, until we came to about 23° north, and 37° west, where we fell in with a vast quantity of gulph weed, which at times was so thick in all directions, as to have frightened people unacquainted with its appearance. We were several days sailing through these fields of floating marine substance, and caught many branches of it; they were extremely elegant, and greatly resembled some land plants. Many very curious marine animals were found adhering to these branches.
About the 27th degree of latitude we were clear of the sea-weed, and then began to get into the variable winds, which enabled us to get round the Azores, or Western Islands, but had much bad weather, the ship at times taking in great quantities of water over the decks. This continued until we arrived in soundings off Scilly, where we encountered a most severe gale, in which a poor fellow named Hunt, a seaman, had both thighs broken by the falling of the arm-chest.
The limbs were immediately set by Doctor L[aird], and Mrs. D. with so much skill and success (notwithstanding the violent motion of the ship) that when the man was afterwards taken to the London Hospital, the surgeons there said the operation did great credit to those who had performed it: the man perfectly recovered, and sailed afterwards with the captain to India. The passengers kindly made up a purse of 30 guinease for this poor fellow.
So who was the resourceful "Mrs. D"? The wife of either Capt. D. or Mr. C-- D--, evidently, but in the absence of a passenger list, it is impossible to tell who she was. Which leaves us with yet another unsung female heroine of the sea ....

|Pre-operative x-ray #4
Sypmptomatic tooth #4 with periapical lesion.
|Immediate post-operative x-ray #4
Obturation was complete with sealer through the apex.
|6 month post-operative x-ray #4
Tooth is asymptomatic healing is almost complete.
Apical healing may not occur completely as far as the radiograph is concerned. If the patient was symptomatic to start with, but is now asymptomatic, sometimes this is the best we can hope for. However, it also may take some time for complete healing. i. e. for the apex to completely restore.

Growing up in a small town and not being one to excel in athletics (ahem), I fell in love with the theatre at a young age. There was just nothing like being backstage, butterflies all swirly in your stomach, mom, dad and grandparents waiting to see you on stage- so many hours of commraderie and silliness and really hard work coming together to tell a story for the packed house.
I was a newly minted eight year old when I sang and danced in the chorus for my first show- Annie. I knew every line, loved every minute and day-dreamed of New York in the 30s. My own kids have of course seen the movie (Singing It's a Hard Knock Life is pretty much how they make through chore time!), but I never dreamed they'd be able to see it live on Broadway!
What a treat when I learned it was being revived and that we were invited to see it in preview by our friends, The Moms. It was magical. My children loved seeing the story they knew so well brought to life in front of them- the scenes of New York, particularly, were excellent and a wonderful display for the coming holidays. We likely won't make the Rockettes show this year, but felt that we'd been able to celebrate just the same with the festive atmosphere Annie provided.
My whole family agreed that Ms. Hannegan is still our favorite character (so full of life and sass!)- but the dog who played "Sandy" came in a close second! The show did run a bit long, so for very young children who would certainly love the show too, a matinee might be a good option unless you can sleep in the next day! There aren't a lot of surprises or new twists, but for parents wanting to share the magic of a show they loved as children with their own kids, Annie is a must see.
We were also so thrilled to be able to partner with The Children's Place who were so kind to deck out the kids in some of their great new holiday fashions (think sparkles and plaids!) for the show!! It was all to bring attention to a cause The Children's Place, The Moms and Annie on Broadway are investing in: The Pajama Program, an initiative to support and provide pajamas to underpriveldged children in our city. Theatre go-ers can take part in this program as well by bringing new pajamas with them to the show and using the drop off box in the lobby. What better way to respond to the "Annie's" in our own city that to help them feel warm and cozy at bedtime this holiday? All the information about the Pajama Program, Annie on Broadway and the newest holiday line from The Children's Place can be seen in the reel above (including cameos by my own fab- four!)
Disclaimer:I was not paid for this post, however I was provided with tickets to Annie for review purposes and outfits for each of my children compliments of The Children's Place. As always, all opinions are my own.

Queen's University have developed a virtual reality medical training centre which will allow students to familiarise themselves with emergencies situations, operators and patient consultations. By first learning in virtual reality, it means more mistakes will be made on stimulations and not on real patients. The reduction in resources and costs will also be a great relief on healthcare services. The initiative has so far had success in speech therapy, neurology, and radioprotection.

coupon system for council-owned parking lots was put on hiatus in February after only one month after Suasa Efektif was granted an injunction to stop mpaj from taking over the operation, management and maintenance of parking facilities in the Ampang Jaya municipality area until. Discussions are still ongoing between both parties but Petaling Jaya mayor Datuk Mohd Azizi Mohd Zain has confirmed that Petaling Jaya City Council (mbpj) will take back the management of the parking system. Enforcement officers on patrol are equipped with smartphones to check if the vehicle owner has paid the parking fee and if the amount is sufficient. Some machines accepted the coins but did not issue any ticket. Abdul Hamid says there will be three types of coupons. He said the council had engaged a lawyer and they were going through the paperwork.
