If there's one thing I should have detoxed a long time ago it was my washing powder. I didn't really think of it to be honest, and how did I miss the link! Our skin is our largest organ! If we are washing our clothing in toxic chemicals it will then be sitting against our skin each and every day right on the clothes we are wearing, the sheets we are sleeping on and the towels we are drying ourselves with.
It has become very important to me to be using clean and toxin-free washing powders and liquids since i looked into the ingredients well known washing powders on our shelves have in them.
That synthetic perfume smell of "washed clothes" is nothing more than artificial fragrance made up of a potion of chemicals. Ones I will no longer be allowing into my home.
Young Living do have a liquid washing soap that I have used however call me old school I still prefer to use powder so I make my own.
Recipe below;
- 2 cups Bicarb Soda
- 2 cups Lectric Washing Soda
- 1/2 cup Epsom Salts
- 1 bars Thieves Soap – grated (or processed in your Thermomix)
- 30 drops Young Living Lavender essential oil (or any oil of choice depending on what scent you would like)
Process or grate soap. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl and store in an air tight container or jar.
I use 2 TBS per wash. For very dirty clothes I will add a capful of Thieves Cleaner (concentrate) to the wash as well. I also put 1-2 TBS white vinegar in the rinse cycle section of my front loader machine.
Your clothes will not come out with a strong scent – they will smell neutral – which is how clean clothes should smell!
Know that the skin irritations, respiratory issues and headaches (just to name a few) may be linked to things like the laundry powder you are using – so check it out, check the ingredients and why not make your own – it's so easy!
Hope you love this recipe as much as I do.

Why you should care
For the country's 20 million Sikhs, the struggle to visit the religion's holiest shrine has been a pain point for generations.Punjab view mapCreated with Raphaël 2.1.0Created with Raphaël 2.1.0

In the border village of Dera Guru Nanak in Gurdaspur district in India's Punjab, a few faithful have gathered hoping for darshan — to view the holy gurudwara or Sikh temple to seek blessings of the guru. But there's no gurdwara — only a vast expanse of fields — visible to the naked eye. Sikhism's holiest shrine, Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur, where the founder of the religion, Guru Nanak, lived for 18 years, is 2.5 miles away — across the border in Pakistan.
Last November, that distance, a pain point for generations of Sikhs, appeared set to shrink when the leaders of India and Pakistan choreographed a rare moment of symphony. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for a corridor connecting the village to the Kartarpur gurdwara in Narowal in Pakistan's Punjab. Two days later, his Pakistani counterpart Imran Khan laid the foundation from his side of the border. Jointly, they announced plans to open the corridor to Sikh pilgrims for visa-free travel on the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak in November 2019.
Modi has compared the construction of the corridor to the collapse of the Berlin Wall, and the initiative has emerged as the centerpiece of his ruling Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) campaign for India's 20 million Sikhs — 77 percent of them in Punjab — who have welcomed the project. India has proposed that 5,000 pilgrims be allowed to use the corridor each day, or 1.8 million annually. But the sharp deterioration in relations with Pakistan following the Feb. 14 terror attack that killed 40 Indian soldiers in Jammu and Kashmir is casting a shadow on the project.

The political significance of the project ahead of the coming elections is underscored by a series of charges and countercharges the BJP has traded with the Congress, India's grand old party that has ruled the country for 54 out of India's 72 years since independence. Modi has in more than 10 public rallies accused the Congress of ignoring Sikh sensitivities by allowing Kartarpur to go to Pakistan during the subcontinent's 1947 partition and by not building a corridor earlier. The Congress, in opposition nationally but in power in Punjab, has accused the Modi government of slipping on post-November deadlines on the corridor construction. But the project needs Pakistan's cooperation, and recent tensions threaten to derail its completion on time, experts say. While heightened war hysteria on the whole usually helps incumbent Indian governments — the last BJP government of Atal Behari Vajpayee returned to power in elections in 1999 after a brief war with Pakistan — a delay could undercut Modi's appeal with Sikhs, says Charanjit Singh, a 65-year-old farmer in Dera Guru Nanak.
"If that happens, Sikhs will be very angry," says Singh. "They will all vote for Congress then."
The BJP recognizes that, and the government is trying to insulate the initiative from the border conflict. On March 14, a team from Pakistan visited India to hold negotiations on the exact contours of the project. But achieving a Berlin Wall pulldown in the middle of what is close to the equivalent of the Cuban Missle Crisis for India and Pakistan will take more than meetings: It'll require a semblance of peace.
Even without actual access to the Kartarpur shrine — where Guru Nanak's remains lie — more than 100 Sikh pilgrims gather every day at the border village, say officers of India's Border Security Force (BSF) who keep a close watch. For darshan, the people of Dera Guru Nanak, a village with a population of 6,400, have installed binoculars. One by one the faithful line up, look into the lens to see a hazy outline of the gurdwaraand say their prayers. Guru Nanak formalized Sikhism while at Kartarpur, says Anju Suri, a historian at Panjab University. That's what makes the gurdwara the religion's most sacred spot.

It's also what makes the Kartarpur corridor a politically game-changing promise. Traditionally, the Sikh vote in India has swung between the Congress and an alliance between the BJP and its coalition partner in Punjab, the Akali Dal. The Akali Dal principally represents Sikh peasants. But the Congress has skeletons in its cupboard that the BJP–Akali Dal combine frequently highlight to portray their opponent as anti-Sikh. In 1984, hundreds of Sikhs were massacred on the streets of Delhi after then Indian PM Indira Gandhi — of the Congress — was assassinated by two Sikh bodyguards. The party also made little effort to connect Kartarpur to India's Punjab.
It was under the Vajpayee government in 1998 that India and Pakistan first discussed creating a Kartarpur corridor. But the idea never moved beyond initial talks — a fact that breeds cynicism in the minds of some locals. "We have been promised that Kartarpur corridor will be opened for a long time now," says Charanjit Singh. The state Congress Chief Minister Amarinder Singh has also accused the Modi government of not releasing promised federal funds for the construction of the corridor since November. Jostling for Sikh votes, the state Congress administration has set up three expert panels to advise on preparations for the 550th-anniversary celebrations. Modi's foreign minister, Sushma Swaraj, has meanwhile declared that the federal government will work with international partners to celebrate the anniversary globally as a "Universal Brotherhood Year." Modi's government has also accused the Punjab administration of delaying the corridor by not procuring land for the project so far.
Buying land off farmers won't be easy. Religion's well and good, but livelihood is important too. Kulwant Singh, a 25-year-old farmer, will need to give up 3 acres of farmland for the corridor. But while the government's offering $40,000 per acre as compensation, farmers are demanding nearly thrice that amount. "I am happy to give the land for [the] guru, but the government needs to give us the right price," Kulwant tells me. In all, 60 farmers are likely to lose land for the Kartarpur corridor.
For some in Dera Guru Nanak, the excitement over the project is also tinged with worries about the proximity of Pakistani soldiers and checkpoints that will crop up once the corridor is opened to the public. "It has been a dream to visit the Kartarpur gurdwara — but I am also scared that they will be so near us," says a 63-year-old former army soldier also called Kulwant Singh.
Indeed, while the BJP and Congress exchange barbs over the project, Pakistan's consent will be vital for the initiative, says Bhupinder Singh Brar, a veteran political scientist. "It was Imran Khan who made the initial move," Brar says. "The BJP can't claim sole credit."
Kartar Singh, in his 90s, still dreams though. He was born in Pakistan and came to India in 1947. Visiting the Kartarpur gurdwara is his "last wish," he says. While India's Sikh community waits, pilgrims will have to use the binoculars to catch a glimpse of the gurdwara in Pakistan. The BSF will stand guard as witness to the politics between the two neighbors, which could continue to deny a community's prayers — or finally fulfill them.

Publisher: DC Comics
Released: May 2nd 2017
Received: Own
Issues: Red Hood & the Outlaws (Rebirth) 1-6
I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from Red Hood and the Outlaws – but I'll be honest in saying that I wasn't expecting anything spectacular (I'm more of a Nightwing fan, personally). Man was I surprised! Red Hood and the Outlaws is probably one of my new favorites from the Rebirth of DC (it tops up there with the Green Lanterns/Hal Jordan for me). On top of enjoying the plot I also found myself liking the artwork – it was similar to the style used in Batman comics, but with some slight changes (enough to make the series distinct).
So I'll confess that I really wasn't expecting to like Red Hood – nothing against the character, I just don't let my expectations get too high about spinoffs. This is one of those happy occasions where the spinoff works though, as Red Hood is a fully fleshed out character with his own backstory (jam-packed with trauma) and villains. The team-up was unanticipated (maybe it's just me, but I had assumed the Dark Trinity name implied the villain of the series – though upon reading it I agree it works this way as well).
For those of you unfamiliar with Red Hood – it's Jason Todd (Robin) all grown up (and alive again). They don't shy away from his harrowing past – in fact they allow that past to be the core of the character. He's a man full of pain and confusion and uncertainty, which on many levels makes him more relatable and likable. It's a fine balance, but I feel that they nailed it here.
Red Hood gets the ultimate prize for odd team ups. Joining him in crime fighting (and sassing) is Artemis and Bizarro. Artemis is a fallen Amazon (a fact that is hinted at during volume one, but will likely become a more relevant point in volume two) and she is about as sassy as you'd expect her to be, if not a bit more. Bizarro is a creation of Lex Luthor's – a poor clone of Superman that didn't turn out too well. Still, he's got a sweet heart and he's willing to try and help. Together they made a very odd and confusing team.
I wasn't expecting myself to say this, but I'm really curious about Red Hood and where he's going to go next. I find his situation intriguing – he learned so much from Batman (and thus doesn't want to toss away all the lessons and morals Batman instilled in him) but he's too different from him to continue trying to emulate him. In some ways it's a more extreme version of what many of us go through as kids (trying to mimic our parents actions until we figure out more of who we are and what we want). I feel like Jason is still a bit lost and look forward to seeing him find himself.
While the ending implies that Red Hood's shiny new villain is no longer a threat – I highly doubt that'll remain that way (it is a spinoff of Batman after all); I anticipate seeing him again. For now it looks like volume two will be more focused on Artemis and her quest – or at least that's how it has been set up to look like. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Sometimes You Just Gotta Dance, Dance
You know what? If there's anything I've learned in this life, it's that donuts are delicious and that sometimes, you just gotta dance. You just gotta get up out of your seat and rock it, as hard as you can. Even if you've had a long day. No — especially if you've had a long day. You just gotta crank some music and dance it out. It might be the only way you get your sanity back. And it doesn't matter where you are or if you're surrounded by strangers. At least that's the theory one guy had when he (wearing a tuxedo, naturally) started a dance party on a train in Perth, Australia.
"I'm doing this because we are all amazing individuals. And we all have a story to tell. We all have something to share," he tells a group of commuters. "So, as a way of breaking that ice, I'm gonna start a small dance party. And if you want to join, you're more than welcome." Okay, that's vaguely annoying in an over-enthusiatic motivational speaker kind of way, but I'll permit it – because what this turns into is genuinely so joyful.
Reluctantly at first, people decide to join the mobile dance party – and it's awesome. They dance to a variety of danceable hits, including James Brown's "I Got You (I Feel Good)" And watching this video, you're sure to feel good, too.
Only one woman looked particularly concerned, and to her I say: it's okay. It's just a dance party on a train. It's going to be fine. It's going to be great.

The federal overhaul of the nation's health care system will create financial winners and losers in Minnesota, an economist told state leaders meeting Thursday in St. Paul.
Young, healthy and wealthy folks who have saved money in the past by purchasing skimpier health insurance coverage could be among the losers, said Jonathan Gruber of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. That's because individuals who fit that description likely will have to buy richer coverage without seeing tax benefits from the law, which Congress passed in 2010.
But there will be a much bigger group of winners in the state, Gruber said during a meeting of the state's Health Insurance Exchange Advisory Task Force at the St. Paul RiverCentre. Winners will include relatively low-income people with a history of health problems, he said, because they will be able to spend less money out-of-pocket for better coverage thanks to federal tax subsidies.
"This will deliver a big benefit to households in this state and create a lot more winners than losers," Gruber said.
Gov. Mark Dayton, a Democrat, named members to the task force this month. The group is charged with developing the framework for a health insurance exchange where individuals and small employer groups can purchase coverage beginning in fall 2013 for the following year.
The exchange is a centerpiece of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul. Republicans in the Minnesota Senate, however, are not participating in the task force meetings, saying the job of crafting the state's exchange should be left to the Legislature.
Reached by phone Thursday, Sen. David Hann, R-Eden Prairie, said he couldn't comment on Gruber's analysis, except to say he believes the overhaul "will create nothing but losers." That's because the nation needs a free market for health insurance, Hann said, adding that the federal law features mandates to individuals and benefit structures to insurers.
"If you want efficiency, if you want lower cost and you want variety, you have to let people be free to make decisions," said Hann, chairman of the Senate's Health and Human Services Committee.
Gruber and Bela Gorman, an actuary with Gorman Actuarial, presented the task force on Thursday with economic and actuarial modeling of how the federal health reform law will affect the state. They concluded that nearly 300,000 Minnesotans would gain insurance coverage as a result of the legislation, which mandates that individuals obtain coverage except in certain cases.
Household budgets should improve on average by $500 to $700 per household, Gruber said, and individual market enrollees should see declines in premiums of 20 percent to 25 percent, thanks to federal tax credits.
But behind those averages lurk some hefty premium and out-of-pocket cost increases for a minority of state residents, the analysis found.
The health care law prevents insurers from pricing policies for individuals and those covered through small employer groups according to the health status of individuals. That change alone could result in a 26 percent increase in premiums for some small groups, Gorman said.
For many people, tax credits will blunt or eliminate the impact of a premium increase, Gruber said.
About 31 percent of individual insurance buyers will see premium reductions of more than 50 percent by 2016, Gruber said. But he said that about 4 percent of individual insurance buyers at that time would see premium increases of more than 50 percent.
The ultimate analysis, Gruber said, calculates not just premiums and tax credits but also broader economic factors such as changes in wages due to changes in the amount employers will have to spend on health insurance by 2016. Another factor, he added, is a tax on households with more than $250,000 in income.
The net effect for Minnesota families, Gruber said, varies by income. Low-income households see an average benefit of $1,160, he said, while those earning more than 1,000 percent of the federal poverty line – about $110,000 for an individual – will see a negative net impact of $290.
"You will see people being impacted differently," Gorman said.

During Holy Week, particularly on Good Friday, we recall the last moments in Jesus' life leading up to and including his crucifixion. Through his suffering and death (i.e., his Passion), Jesus atoned for our sins and merited our salvation.
A Question
Reflecting on Jesus' Passion, I found myself asking a question for which I didn't have an immediate answer: "Why did Jesus have to suffer the way he did?" As the Son of God and the perfect sacrifice, would not his death alone have merited our salvation? Why did he have to go through such betrayal, humiliation, torture, and a horrible way of dying?
The following answers are unsatisfying.
- He had to add enough suffering on to his death to increase the value of his sacrifice.
RESPONSE: NO. The sacrifice of his life was sufficient to meet the just demands of the Law.
- He was fulfilling the prophecies about his suffering.
RESPONSE: NO. The reason the prophecies spoke of his suffering is because that was what was to happen, not the other way around.
- God knew how men would respond to Jesus, and he let Satan do his worst.
RESPONSE: YES, but it still doesn't answer why. God didn't have to have Jesus suffer the way he did.
Jesus suffered in such a violent way because it was God's plan.
I don't claim to understand the mystery of why God does what he does, but he has revealed enough about himself and his plan that we can draw some conclusions.
- Becoming a Christian does not give us a free pass when it comes to suffering. Only God knows why he has allowed the effects of sin and suffering to continue to this day, but he demonstrated his compassion and solidarity with us by taking on himself the worst of the worst of pain and suffering.
Do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal which comes upon you to prove you, as though something strange were happening to you. I Peter 4:12
- Salvation is not only positional; it's also restorative. Christians regularly speak of how, through the act of faith, one moves from a state of condemnation deserving death to a state of forgiveness and redemption. His debt of sin has been paid by Christ. This represents a change of position or state. But Jesus, though sinless, took upon himself and experienced every bit of the temporal effects of sin. He demonstrated not only that suffering can lead to redemption, but also showed us how to face the suffering we experience. God cares about how sin affects us in our lives, and he desires to heal and purify us. He uses suffering to help us grow in virtue, to let go of attachments that keep us from God, to learn to trust him, and to grow in love, compassion, and humility. God uses suffering to help us become like Jesus.
We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose. For those he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of the Son… Romans 8:28-29
- Suffering can have meaning and value. God does not cause us to suffer, just as he did not cause Jesus to suffer. But the Son of God, assuming our human nature, opened himself up to the same effects of sin, and his obedience and righteousness even attracted an evil response. Living in this sin-damaged world ensures that we will encounter pain in its various forms. To live and suffer as Jesus did, however, presents us with an opportunity to form a heroic response that God uses for our good and the good of others.
For one is approved if, mindful of God, he endures pain while suffering unjustly. For what credit is it, if when you do wrong and are beaten for it you take it patiently? But if when you do right and suffer for it you take it patiently, you have God's approval. For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.
I Peter 2:19-21
By his passion and death on the cross Christ has given a new meaning to suffering: it can henceforth configure us to him and unite us with his redemptive Passion.
Catechism of the Catholic Church 1505
- Whatever suffering we encounter in this life, we can never say that God does not care. The Father did not hold anything back. He let the full force of evil come against his own Son. He meant for his Son to experience the worst of the worst, and Jesus willingly accepted the Father's will. We may not understand why God does not intervene in particular situations, but we can never say it's because he doesn't care. He made our miseries his own.
He took our infirmities and bore our diseases. Matt. 8:17; Is. 53:4.
He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, will he not also give us all things with him? Romans 8:32
- Our story does not end in suffering and death. The atheist would have us believe this, and with it, cast aside all hope in despair. But Christ showed us the triumph of a life given to God with the hope of the Resurrection and Eternal Life.
But rejoice in so far as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. I Peter 4:13
Therefore, in Christ's story of immense suffering, I find a profound message of hope.

If you've ever seen a tractor-trailer involved in a crash whereby the cab turns in the opposite direction of the trailer in what some would describe as a "V" shape, then you've seen a jackknife accident. These types of incidents are perhaps one of the scariest type of events that can happen to a truck driver.
They most often occur when a the semitruck's wheels lock at the same time the driver is approaching a slick spot. When this happens, the trailer will continue moving forward. The driver's loss of control over his wheels will cause the trailer to swing out in the opposite direction of the cab.
When a trucker notices that his wheels are locking, there are three main reasons they have difficulty in averting a jackknife incident. If the drive axles are locked up, then this almost always leads to a jackknife occurring.
If the trailer axles lock up, then it too can lead to this type of event occurring, largely because the trucker loses directional control. Third, if the steering axle brakes are locked, then it will continue propelling the rig straight ahead no matter what way the wheel is turned, ultimately causing it to jackknife.
Industry experts warn that jackknife incidents are best avoided by truckers always keeping a safe distance between them and others, especially when roads aren't dry. They note that it's important for truckers to avoid accelerating as they approach turns or bends as well.
Braking should always be a progressive move, not a sudden one as this can lead to a jackknife occurring. Truckers should also avoid making abrupt movements. If a trucker finds himself or herself skidding, it's also important that he or she steers in the direction of the skid in an effort to avoid a jackknife.
Jackknife incidents are among the deadliest types of truck accidents due largely to just how sudden, violent and unpredictable they are. If you've been seriously injured as a result of having been caught up in a jackknife crash, then a Houston attorney can advise you of your right to recover medical expenses and more in your case.

Welcome to KFNW!
Kayak Fishing Northwest (KFNW) is a kayak fishing, tournament tour series for Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. By working together, we are able to bring more opportunity to anglers in the Pacific Northwest. KFNW is comprised of three divisions: Idaho Kayak Bass Fishing (IKBF), Oregon Kayak Bass Fishing (OKBF), and Washington Kayak Bass Fishing (WAKBF). We are dedicated to providing a fun, competitive series where all are welcome.
New for 2020
We've got some big changes for the 2020 season that are sure to make everyone happy. Here are some of the highlights:
- One membership fee ($50) will now allow you to fish any KFNW tournament in Idaho, Oregon, or Washington. We've chosen some Tour Event locations that are ideal for folks to fish from other states. And we've done our best to ensure that there are no conflicting dates for any of our Tour Events. Put it all together, and that means inter-divisional fishing is on!
- Each division has sanctioned, season-long, and month-long Online Challenges now. These all contribute to your AOY score for Online Challenges, and ultimately your qualification for the 2020 KFNW Kayak Bass Classic.
- We have also added a regional Online Challenge that's open to anyone (no KFNW membership required, no AOY points).
- The Classic will be a regional event featuring the best anglers from all three divisions, competing for two days in October to name the 2020 KFNW Champion.
- Permits in all three states will now be covered by membership fees, not entry fees. That means bigger payouts, especially in Washington state, where we had to pull a permit regardless of how small the tournament was.
- We will have new custom medals for our live events this year. Design is being finalized now and they're looking great.
- We will also have KFNW Recognition Pins for notable catches throughout the season (largemouth 20+ inches, smallmouth 19+ inches).
- And we'll give away special participation awards for things like Road Warrior (for anglers who fish in the most Tour Events) and Busybody (for anglers who fish in the most Online Challenges).
- We have a number of Open tournaments this year, which do not require a membership fee, and have a small $20 entry fee (with the exception of the Regional Season-Long Online Challenge Open, which is $75).
- The Charity Bass-A-Thon is now an open event (no KFNW membership required), and since we are planning to hold it at a world class trout AND bass fishery, Crane Prairie Reservoir, it will be the Charity Fish-A-Thon this year. Just $20 to enter.
- We decided not to allow electric motors again for 2020 (except for disabled persons) but we've added a poll question about motors on the registration form. Let us know if you would like to see us allow motors in the future.

Marijuana is one of the most controversial drugs in the world today. Many studies have been conducted as to the benefits of using marijuana for medicinal purposes. Many countries have legalized its use, and more people can access marijuana to use medically or recreationally. Nevertheless, marijuana abuse and addiction remain a problem. If you feel you have a marijuana addiction and want to stop using it, we will discuss here how to overcome marijuana addiction. But first, we will understand its effects on the body, the signs of addiction, and finally, how you can kick the habit.
What is Marijuana?
When we say marijuana, it pertains to the dried seeds, stems, flowers, and leaves of the Cannabis indica or Cannabis sativa plant. Cannabis has a chemical called THC which can produce mind-altering effects on the person using marijuana. Weed, which is another term for marijuana, is the most common illicit drug that is being used, especially by young people in their middle and high school years.
Marijuana's THC has been steadily increasing in the past decades. If the person just started using marijuana, this could mean higher exposure to THC. Consequently, there is also a greater chance that they may have harmful reactions from it. Higher THC in marijuana may also explain why there is a rise in the number of people being sent to the emergency room because of marijuana use.
And since the marijuana edibles have also been popular, many are consuming the drug this way. However, it takes a longer time to digest and for the person to feel the high. It is for this reason that many consume more of it so that they can experience the effects sooner but this leads to harmful and dangerous results. The higher THC in marijuana can also create higher chances of addiction in people who consume it at high doses.
How is Marijuana being Used?
Marijuana users smoke it in joints or hand-rolled cigarettes. They may also use water pipes called bongs. Smoking marijuana in blunts or in cigars that have been emptied and refilled with marijuana is also a way to smoke it. Some users don't want to inhale the smoke so they use vaporizers.
With vaporizers, the active ingredients such as THC are pulled and their vapour is collected in the storage unit. When the user can then inhale the vapour and not the smoke. Marijuana may also be mixed with food like candy, cookies, and brownies. Some may even brew it just like tea.
Another way that marijuana is being used is eating or smoking various forms of resins that are THC-rich. This method is called dabbing. There are different forms to these extracts such as honey oil or hash oil, wax, and shatter.
While dabbing is popular these days, this method can deliver huge amounts of active ingredients like THC to the user's body. There have been a number of people sent to the emergency room because of this.
Apart from that, another danger when it comes to preparing marijuana extracts is that you need to use butane or lighter fluid. There have been incidents where explosions and fires broke out and people were seriously burned. Accidents can happen because of this method of getting the extracts of marijuana and doing it at home without proper and ample safety precautions.
Harmful Effects of Marijuana Use
People who abuse weed would feel the need to sustain that maximum high. In order to do so, they inhale the smoke more deeply and hold it in their lungs for a longer period of time. It irritates the lungs which may lead to asthma attacks, bronchitis, and chronic cough. The effect of smoking weed in pregnant women affects the unborn baby and may cause problems such as premature birth and abnormal size.
In worse scenarios, marijuana, when taken in higher and larger dosage, could also result in toxic psychosis and hallucination that makes a person paranoid. It affects your concentration, reaction to stimuli, and your coordination, making it dangerous for you to drive a car and even ride a bike.
Effects of Marijuana on the Brain
When marijuana is smoked, the THC passes from the user's lungs into his bloodstream. Blood, then, takes the chemical to his brain as well as the other organs in the body. With smoking marijuana, the effects can be felt after 30 minutes up to an hour. It is a slower way for the THC to be absorbed compared to when the extract is consumed by eating or drinking.
THC effects particular brain cell receptors. These receptors react to natural chemicals similar to THC. Such chemicals are important in the normal development and functioning of the brain.
Using marijuana can over-activate areas of the brain that have huge amounts of those receptors which, in turn, causes the person to feel high. Here are other effects that marijuana users experience after using the drug.
- Mood changes and impaired memory
- Altered senses and inability to focus
- Difficulty in motor skills and body movement
- Psychosis, delusions, and hallucinations
Marijuana use is also known to affect brain development, especially when the user begins at an early age such as in their teenage years. This drug can affect their thinking, learning functions, as well as their memory.
Marijuana can affect the way that the brain connects to different parts where these functions are necessary. Ongoing studies are looking into the other long-term effects of marijuana and also if these changes in the brain are irreversible.
Physical Effects of Marijuana Use
Marijuana use can affect a person in several ways, especially for regular users. Here are some of the physical effects of continuous marijuana use.
Breathing difficulties
The smoke from marijuana can irritate the lungs. Users who smoke frequently can experience similar breathing difficulties as people who smoke cigarettes and tobacco. Some of the problems with breathing include daily phlegm and coughing, lung illness and lung infections. Researchers are still studying the effects of marijuana smoke and the development of lung cancer.
Risk of heart attack
Consuming marijuana can increase the person's heart rate and it can last for up to three hours. This increases the risk of a heart attack. People who have existing heart problems who use marijuana regularly may have a higher chance of suffering from a heart attack.
Child development in pregnant women
There has been a popular belief that marijuana can help pregnant women deal with their nausea. However, medical experts are firm in their warning against it. Marijuana use in pregnant women is known to be linked to low birth weight. Babies are also observed to have behavioural and brain problems.
When a pregnant woman is a marijuana user, then there may be effects on the way that the brain of the fetus develops. When these babies grow up, they are observed to have problems with memory, problem-solving, and attention. Even THC from breast milk can affect the child's developing brain. The studies regarding these effects of marijuana on babies are still ongoing.
Vomiting and nausea
With regular and long-term use of marijuana, a person may develop a condition called Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome. This condition causes a person to experience a regular cycle of intense vomiting, nausea, as well as dehydration. There have been cases when medical attention has been necessary to address this condition.
Mental Effects of Marijuana Use
When a person has been using marijuana for a long time, it is possible that he or she can develop mental illness and other mental conditions. They may experience hallucinations and paranoia. For people who have schizophrenia, their mental condition may get worse with regular marijuana use. Other mental effects include anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts in young people who use marijuana frequently.
Marijuana's Effects on a Person's Life
When comparing people who don't use marijuana to those who use it heavily, studies state that users have low life satisfaction, poor mental health, and poor physical health. They also experience worse relationship problems with their family and friends. For students who use marijuana, they are more likely to have academic challenges and drop out of school. For professionals, marijuana use is often linked to tardiness, absences, accidents, as well as injuries in the workplace.
Overdose from Marijuana Use
A person can experience an overdose when he or she uses too much of the drug and the effects of it can be life-threatening. While there are no reports of adults or teens who had fatal consequences because of marijuana use alone, too much consumption of marijuana is known to cause uncomfortable and intense side effects.
People who used marijuana that have high THC have reported that they experienced paranoia and anxiety. Others had hallucinations, delusions, and other psychotic reactions.
Psychotic reactions can happen whether marijuana is smoked or eaten. But emergency medical staff have been seeing more and more cases of patients being admitted because of eating too much food containing marijuana.
Usually, young people don't know much about the marijuana edibles and how long it takes before the effects kick in. In doing so, they eat more to get that high. Consequently, they experience intense reactions because they've taken too much of the drug.
Marijuana Use and Addiction
Using marijuana frequently can cause a person to a substance use disorder. This is a medical condition when you can no longer stop using a drug even if it's already causing both health as well as social problems. When the disorder becomes severe, then it turns into an addiction.
There are marijuana users who've been using it for many years and try to quit. They experience some withdrawal symptoms which makes it a challenge to quit the drug use successfully. Here are some of the marijuana withdrawal symptoms.
- Anxiety
- Cravings
- Decreased appetite
- Mood swings
- Problems with sleep
Is Weed Addictive?
Marijuana is addictive; it is an established fact. It comes in second place as the most popular and commonly abused substance in the world. There are 280 million people who are hooked into using weed which is more than 4% of the world population.
Based on poll data regarding the pending legitimization of marijuana in the country, there is an estimated number of 900,000 Canadians that will join the bandwagon of smoking pot, simply because it is legal and they are curious to try it.
The Truth about Marijuana
Weed is an antidepressant drug but it also has psychedelic effects when taken in higher doses. It helps to know that there are 2 classified types of marijuana that offer different effects, one is psychedelic and the other is depressant.
Other experts in the healthcare industry believe in the healing properties of marijuana. They continue to reiterate that the use of marijuana in proper dosage is therapeutic and could even save lives.
Why is cannabis drawing concerns?
Despite the legal status and medical purposes of weed, it is quite difficult to turn a blind eye from the statistical data that marijuana abuse and addiction have led to. For instance, it is the most commonly abused illicit drug among Canadian young people and adults with 10.6% of Canadians becoming marijuana users in 2012 alone.
According to the Canadian Centre for Substance Abuse, 28% of Canadian youth are using marijuana and this figure is significantly higher compared to the same group demographics in other developed countries.
Marijuana users, especially chronic ones, experience physical and mental health problems including brain and memory malfunctions. Pregnant women that used the drug have babies with negative development and behavioural issues.
Marijuana for Medical and Non-Therapeutic Purposes
Clinical evidence emerged in support of the medical and therapeutic effects of weed and health professionals are also looking into that. The policymakers and medical regulatory bodies try to seek balance in the policies in order to cater to patient needs and reduce health risk. Most importantly, there is a pressing need to answer concerns about marijuana diversion and misuse.
Is weed addictive? Marijuana is an addictive drug and it could lead to tolerance and dependence that have drastic effects on the user. The impact of marijuana goes beyond the physiological and mental state.
Marijuana addiction also affects the social, financial, and personal aspects of the users. The Canadian government and private organizations are offering addiction recovery services for marijuana addicts.
Signs of Marijuana Addiction
Before you begin your journey toward recovery, it is first important that you acknowledge that there is a problem with your drug use. It can be difficult to assess yourself if you have an addiction. Chances are that you'll be in denial that there's already a problem. To help you, here are some of the signs of marijuana addiction.
Tolerance Buildup and Withdrawal Symptoms
Marijuana is similar to other drugs in the sense that when you use it regularly, you're bound to have tolerance buildup. What this means is that you'll be needing higher doses of marijuana so that you can experience the same kind of high as when you used it during the earlier phases of your drug use.
If you notice that you're needing higher doses of marijuana just so you can get high, then that means that you're building up a tolerance. When you attempt to stop using marijuana and you experience withdrawal symptoms, this can also mean that you are already addicted to this substance. Some withdrawal symptoms include anxiety, insomnia, irritability, and loss of appetite.
Increasing Use of Marijuana
There may be times when you just intend to take a few hits but then you end up smoking the entire joint. Try to observe how often this happens to you. If you think that you can no longer control how much marijuana you use, then it's possible that you are already hooked to the drug.
You can't Stop Using It
If controlling the amount of marijuana you use is difficult, then it's most likely that stopping or quitting altogether is seemingly impossible. Even if you want to quit, you just can't. At this point, you will need help to successfully get rid of the drug in your system and kick the habit of smoking or consuming marijuana.
Getting High Becomes Priority
How you spend your time is indicative of your possible dependence on the drug. If you spend a lot of your time getting high or waiting for the time when you'll smoke another joint or looking for your drug of choice, that is a clear and obvious sign that you are addicted to it. When your drug use becomes your priority and it begins to eat up a big chunk of your time, it's vital to seek help and start marijuana addiction treatment.
You may also notice that you've stopped doing the activities you once enjoyed. This may include recreational outings, playing sports or spending time with your loved ones. Instead, you spend your time with people who are also using marijuana so that you can get high together and feel that you're having a good time.
Work or school can also become affected. Since using marijuana has become your priority, you no longer give importance to other things in your life such as your job or attending your classes. This can have very serious consequences down the line such as failing your courses or getting fired from your job.
You Use Marijuana to Deal with Problems
Think about the way you're using marijuana. Have you been using it to deal with your problems? When you have bad grades or problems with your boss or even relationship issues, do you feel your only option is to try and get high? If this is the case then you're getting deeper into your marijuana use and addiction.
Another way that you can identify that you're addicted to marijuana is if you depend on it to feel relaxed. If you take weed before starting work or doing anything creative or other tasks, then it's a clear sign that you have developed a heavy dependence on it and you are already addicted to the substance.
Preferring Activities that will Get You High
When you start to evaluate your relationships with other people and your activities with them based on your chance to get high, then you are choosing your bad habit over real and lasting relationships with your loved ones.
Also, ask yourself if you've been able to take on your daily responsibilities. Look around your house and see if you've cleaned it lately or if the dishes have been washed. If the place is dirty and disorganized, then you haven't been paying attention to these details because your mind is too focused on getting high.
How to Overcome Marijuana Addiction?
Marijuana can be just as addictive as consuming alcohol. About 10% of marijuana users can get addicted to it and they will eventually find it difficult to control their use of the drug. Addiction is when you the users still smoke or consume marijuana even if it's already causing negative effects on their lives.
Face reality and be prepared
Marijuana is among the hardest drugs to quit. This is not because weed is more addictive compared to other drugs. It's because users who've become addicted cannot let the bad habit go. Recovery from addiction begins with the user's willingness to quit the drug. If upon your assessment you have identified and acknowledged that you have a marijuana addiction problem, then take this as an opportunity to get back the control of your life. While it is true that it can be a long and arduous journey ahead, recovery is possible and worth it.
The time it takes to treat marijuana addiction and remain sober from it is different from case to case. It may take a few months to a number of years. It may be a life-long struggle to resist the desire to smoke or consume marijuana. The drug is complex and it has affected your brain so it will take a lot of work for the brain and your system to get back to normal and be able to function properly without the need for marijuana.
Each person is different including how susceptible you are to getting addicted. Recovery also depends on the way your brain gets to rewire itself once you stop using the drug. There have been cases where it took three years to fully recover from marijuana addiction. But again, this may not be the case for you. It may take sooner or longer depending on your treatment plan and the support that you're getting from your loved ones. Apart from that, you also have to recover socially and economically. The addiction has affected more than your health but other aspects of your life. This is something that you also need to pay attention to.
Join Support Groups
Another important part of recovering from marijuana addiction is to find a support group. This group is important because they understand what you're going through. You may find it difficult to open up to strangers about your struggles but just try joining sessions until you find a group that works well for you. During the meetings, you can find strength from each other who are going through the same challenges as you. You will also be inspired by the stories of success from people who have fully recovered from their addiction. Take advantage of these meetings.
It's also not just about getting over your addiction. Take the opportunity to meet new people in these support group meetings. You can socialize and talk about other things, not just the previous bad habits of drug use. You may even develop friendships with them. This is good because you're filling your life with positive people while avoiding those people that you did drugs with.
Using drugs can isolate you from your good friends and your family. This is a chance to get your social life back and interact with people. It will help you deal with your withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety and depression. You should be prepared for those symptoms because you will feel worried and paranoid at times. This may even be intensified when you just spend your time alone. So, go out and spend time with good people who are also trying to get clean.
Go to Therapy
Seeking a therapist can help you in the early phases of your recovery from marijuana addiction. The professional can prepare you for the journey and provide support during the most difficult times. You may try talking to peer counsellors, social workers, or psychotherapists. It would benefit you most if you go to a professional who specializes in addiction recovery. They are better equipped to help you in handling the withdrawal symptoms that you will be experiencing.
CBT or cognitive behavioural therapy is something that you may consider. It will be very helpful for you in treating your depression and other withdrawal symptoms. If you go to a psychiatrist, you may ask about anti-depressants and if it would benefit you if you would take those prescription meds. Talk to the doctor about the dosage for the anti-depressants and the possible side effects that you have to anticipate when taking the meds. Also, you can ask about how long it will take for the effects to kick in and when you will start to notice an improvement in your mood and behaviour.
Try Meditation
Meditation has been around for over 5,000 years so it must be effective in dealing with a number of problems. Meditation is not that difficult to do. You don't have to spend hours on it. Just devote three to five minutes where you can sit down and close your eyes. The way to meditate is to focus on your breathing. Simply breathe in and breathe out the way you would do normally. There will be plenty of things that will come to your mind during the first few times. Don't worry too much about it. Your mind is sure to wander but be mindful of your thoughts. If you ever notice that you're thinking of other things, remind yourself to get back to paying attention to your breathing.
Meditation can help in rewiring the brain. You can start with just shorter sessions of meditation until you become more comfortable doing it for longer periods. Soon, you will find that you'll love the time that you spend meditating. You can become more in control of your thoughts. This is helpful in your recovery because whenever thoughts of going back to your bad habits come to mind, you now have more power to say no to those thoughts and successfully resist the temptations to use marijuana.
Forgive Yourself
For sure, you have plenty of regrets about the things you've done while you were addicted to marijuana. You could have lost wonderful relationships or spent your savings trying to get high all the time. Acknowledge that you've done those things and they were wrong but it's now time to forgive yourself.
Get over it and start the healing process. You have to start this within yourself. This is the chance for you to say "okay, I've done things wrong before. I will now get my life together." Once you do this, you are propelling your way toward recovery from addiction. It is natural to feel guilty and ashamed. It's good that you feel those things because now, you acknowledge that you were wrong and you now want to make things right. This is a good start so just embrace it and forgive yourself.
Hopefully, this was able to give you insights on how to overcome marijuana addiction. Admit to yourself that you have an addiction problem. That's the first step. Next, seek help and support from medical professionals and your loved ones. There are many activities that you can do to replace smoking or consuming marijuana. You may feel they're not as fun as getting high but stick to it and you will feel the rewards that being clean from drugs can bring to your life.

Is Halong Bay a frozen disaster in Dec/ Jan?
My friends and I are planning to visit Hanoi end Dec Early Jan. We haven't booked any cruises because it might be too cold to be on deck to look at the beauty of the limestone karsts. We would appreciate any experiences anyone who has been to Halong at that time of year in the recent past.
We would also like some recommendations of the companies to go with on a Halong Bay cruise, and those NOT to go with. Tx.
- Heya - Isn't Halong Bay in Vietnam and not Singapore?... Correcting that should make it easier for people to answer this :) Jaidev S almost 10 years ago

Halong bay is in Vietnam. If you or anyone else wants to go then Please read my story first. -
http://journals.worldnomads.com/chilleep/story/66029/Vietnam/Halong-Bay-MUTINY-Raise-the-Jolly-Roger almost 10 years agoAnswered by Paul Henwood via WorldNomads.com
A couple of years ago I was there with my family at that time of year, and while it wasn't freezing and nor was it quite as abusive as suggested by Paul, it was a bit of a cattle tour.
There are plenty of other interesting experiences in this wonderful country (http://journals.worldnomads.com/simon_monk/country/233/Vietnam) but you sometimes have to work hard to find them!
The Vietnamese are a tough and wiley people, through circumstance as much as anything else, but some of the tourist scams, particularly overpriced drinks or sudden hidden charges take a little experience.
I'd always recommend, where possible, that you try to laugh them off as part of the experience ... while not paying up either. They'll hound you to the end of the day but in the end there is little they can do.
Yeah, it can be wearing sometimes. almost 10 years agoAnswered by Original Nomad via WorldNomads.com

"Fans at the field Saturday had the pleasure of watching a very hard-hitting, great football game."

2011 Gala Dinner & Silent Auction
Continuing Family Stories: The Expanding Nikkei Community
Saturday, April 16, 2011
5:30 PM – Silent Auction and Reception
7:00 PM – Dinner and Program
JW Marriott Hotel at L.A. LIVE
In the first 25 years of its existence, the Japanese American National Museum took on the challenge to preserve and share the history of the first Japanese immigrants and their descendants, a once much-neglected American story. While this task remains at the core of the Museum's mission, the institution recognizes that the Nikkei community has become more diverse since the end of World War II and this history needs to be documented.
In 2011, the National Museum begins a new phase with its Gala Dinner and Silent Auction under the theme, Continuing Family Stories: The Expanding Nikkei Community. After World War II, Japanese Americans rebuilt their lives and expanded their communities. Joined by more recent immigrants from Japan, they went on to transform American culture through entrepreneurship, ingenuity, and creativity. From new first-generation immigrants to the Sansei (third-generation), they shared the same aspirations for their families in pursuing the American dream. ations for their families and their community.
The post-war contributions of Japanese Americans are symbolized by three diverse honorees who will be highlighted as part of the dinner program: Noritoshi Kanai, the Jane Aiko Yamano family, and Stan Sakai. Kanai and the Yamano family have pioneered different business ventures, advanced and shared cultural staples, and carried their own traditions through the generations. Sansei artist Stan Sakai will be recognized for having brought together popular cultural forms from Japan and America to create something new and powerful.

I have been to Germany this weekend for the race Albstadt Frauen etappenrennen, a UCI 2.2 race over 3 days. I have once again been a guest rider in the Danish Team high end sport and I have had some really nice and fun days with them. The race started on Friday evening with a 4km prologue. I flew down to the race and had my bike with me and I did not bring my time trail bike for only 4km, I did not think that the prologue would be that important for the overall result. 2 hours before the start we got to borrow a TT bike from another team and decided that I would ride on it even though I had only tried it on the parking lot! When it was time to start warming up the sky opened and I did not want to warm up on the road in the pouring rain, so it had to be done on the trainer with an umbrella over my head. I was in the last part of the start list and when I started it had stopped raining but the road was still wet and slippery. When I started I did not feel concentrated and I felt very unused to the bike but I was going fast, at least I got to know that after the finish, I was laying second for the time. One of the last starters was Sara Mustonen, also from Sweden, she came in on the fastest time, 2 seconds faster then me, so I finished 3rd, I was of course very happy with that, even though I could not help but wondering what how it could have gone if I had had my own bike, a disc wheel and a TT suit… But as Lance says "It´s not about the bike..."
Second day started with a long wait, the start of the hill stage was at 4pm. We did 8 rounds on a 10,5km lap that included a 2km climb right after the start. The first time up went fast and a lot of girls dropped already. Then 3 times up went ok. Lap 5-7 went fast again and we were a group of 10-12 girls that got away at the top each time and had about 3-400 meters on the bunch but no one was interested in working so the bunch always came back. On lap 6 before the bunch came, me and another girl got a way and stayed away for about 7km before the others caught us close to the top of the climb. The last time up was very hard, same thing happened again but this time I was not in the first bunch, this time the went fast and we only caught them 500 meters before the finish. Since we did a lap and went 2km uphill we also had to come down, the max speed for the day was 82km/h and with 500meters to the finish we were still going downhill, so was a very fast sprint. I did not manage to get to the front and finished 15th in the sprint. Charlotte Becker from Nurnberg got away and stayed away and won by a minute. So my 16th place was enough to keep my 3rd overall since Charlotte was the only one that passed me and I passed Sara.
Last day was a criterium on a 2,1km round and we did 40 laps. I wanted to defend my 3rd place and it was very tight behind me with only seconds separating many girls and with bonus seconds 10-6-4 it was many that could pass. It was a few break aways and some were away for many laps. Nurnberg that had number 1 and 2 had to work hard to get them back. I just tried to stay in a good position in the bunch and be aware if anything dangerous went. Finally it came down to a bunch sprint and I crossed the line as number 11 which was enough to defend my 3rd place since no one close behind me got the bonus seconds.
I am very happy with this since it is my best result ever in a UCI race!
There has been some really nice days with good accommodation, good food and good company and I have got to practice my Danish a bit as wellJ Thanks team high end sport!
Now I will be at home for a few days before it is time to travel down south in Sweden for the next race, a 3 day stage race on an island called Orust.

Mowbray: We believe we can stay up
West Brom manager Tony Mowbray insists his side have the self belief they need to compete in the Barclays Premier League after a 1-0 victory over Fulham lifted them to eighth place in the table.
Striker Roman Bednar's second-half effort - his third goal of the campaign - ensured back-to-back wins for the Baggies.
It was no more than Albion deserved after dominating the second 45 minutes and Bednar could have claimed a hat-trick, hitting the bar from 35 yards and being denied at point blank range by Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer.
Mowbray said: "We know we played against a decent team, particularly in the first half and, with Clint Dempsey dropping off the front, they gave us plenty of problems.
"They reminded us of our team at our very best in the first half. They moved the ball around well. Jimmy Bullard and Danny Murphy are top players.
"On the second half performance I think we warranted the victory. We had the better chances, created more chances second half and I'm delighted with the effort we put in to get the points.
"The result was important. It keeps the momentum going and gives the players the confidence and belief they can compete in the league and we shouldn't fear whoever we play."
Victory ensured Albion have enjoyed their best start to a Premier League campaign - 10 points from seven games - but Mowbray is not getting carried away, particularly with a trip to Manchester United next on the horizon.
He said: "I don't tend to set targets and goals for the players. The next game is the important one and we've got to be ready to go to Old Trafford, make life difficult for them, and see if we can pick something up there.
"It is a bit early to talk about where we might finish. We've just got to look at the next game. We are happy to pick up the points and happy to keep going along."

Ceramic coffee drippers are manufactured by Hario, Melitta, Bee Hive, Bonmac (Hario?), Cilio (Frieling) and others. The advantage is that they are essentially glass (the glaze is glass), which is non-intert, meaning there is no possibility that taste will be affected by the material as is possible with plastic or resin coffee drippers.
The cons
They can break and are more expensive than plastic.
No worries
If you're not prone to breaking things ceramic is a good way to go, if purity is key and you don't want the added cost of glass.

no entertainment or story value in this movie. go only if you want to see defensles inosint people shot.
The Movie had me at the edge of my seat the whole time especially knowing it's based on real life events , real people who lived through this horror. I don't think the movie is intended to offend any group of people or make any religion look bad. It's a Movie based on Facts unfortunately . Humans can cause unnecessary chaos ,pain and suffering to one another .
I am a non-muslim mother, If you're a movie-goer, a reader, a story-lover, a human-remember "Being a good person does not depend on your religion, status, race, color, political views or culture. It depends on how you treat others"
I didn't like the movie for one reason it's obvious that the killers speak the Arabic language and if I don't know Muslims or Arabs, I would be scared to meeting one of them, but I have this Muslim best friend, who is really nice.
Again, racism is still with us, but it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome.
As amother I DON'T want my kids to watch it.
Excellent, fact based movie of 10 Muslim, Islamic terrorists who murdered almost 400 people on behalf of hatred of Pakistinian terrorists against non Muslims
Simply put, we paid money to watch someone's political agenda.
Raw, gripping, suspenseful, heart-wrenching and so well done! An excellent movie.
The 1 star idiots are at it again. Go to school, get an education & try to write more than 5 words. That's not a review. And you self-proclaimed Muslims, knock it off.
This docu-drama depicted a true event . Just so happens they were Muslims that did the killing because of their radical ideology. Had nothing to do with portraying Islam or Muslims as bad. (Notice I used capitols for your religion)
Your upset because they're using YOUR religion as the scapegoat of their evil deeds & you don't like it. Get over it! When Movies or documentaries are made of the nazis (they were German), Germans don't get all in a huff.
As a history buff, I've done a lot of research on WWii & there were a lot of bad nazis - (again they were German), but I don't view all Germans as bad.
Do you understand this !?
Give people more credit to recognize the good from the bad.
I repeat - get over it. The nazis were a sect just like the radical Muslims are a sect. In case you don't know what that means ; a group apart from a larger group. So get off your high horse & stop proclaiming the movie is something other than what it is. It's not racist, propaganda, biased or has an agenda against Muslims - It's an excellent movie that draws you in to the actual terror that the people experienced. And YOU, the 3 word 1 star idiot ; why don't you get a life. People recognize arrogance, so they don't pay attention to you.
Have a nice day & enjoy the movie. (as upsetting as it is.)
I am not a Muslim and I believe that the people behind this movie has a dirty agenda
"Hotel Mumbai" portrays what was an Islamic terrorist attack in the city of Mumbai in 2009. In all, 174 - not included the terrorists - were killed, a number of them in the hotel itself as well as a nearby restaurant [;is two other targets. There were ten who came from neighboring Pakistan and who had trained and prepared for the mission, the president of Pakistan eventually acknowledging the terrorists' nationality. The movie is not racist; it is simply depicting an historical event which cannot be ignored. Nine of the terrorists were killed in the attack; the tenth was eventually returned to Pakistan and ultimately released from prison.
The movie is violent, yes, but so was the attack itself which in the hotel lasted for four days. One may not care for the subject matter, but one cannot deny the reality of the attack which resulted in the deaths of many innocent tourists and civilians. It does not hurt to be reminded of the world's history, as painful as it may be.
Trolls on here saying this movie is racist. Not so. Watch the world friends. We can all get along! This is not an over exaggeration and these troll snowflakes pretending to be affended by it should take a good look at themselves.
