Girl Scout Targets Medical Marijuana Clinic Makes A Mint
Updated: Friday, February 21 2014, 10:59 AM CST
A Girl Scout is in high demand after she started selling cookies outside a medical marijuana clinic.
Thirteen-year-old Danielle Lei was certainly 'thinking outside the box' when she set up her cookie stall outside The Green Cross marijuana dispensary in San Francisco.
Entrepreneurial Miss Lei sold 117 boxes of Tagalongs and Thin Mints in two hours, the proceeds of which benefits charitable organisations.
Munchies: Entrepreneurial Girl Scout Danielle Lei set up a cookie stall with her mother outside The Green Cross marijuana dispensary in San Francisco
Miss Lei's mother Carol said her daughter sold dozens more boxes outside The Green Cross than at other locations – and sold out of Dulce de Leches.
Both Danielle and her older sister Nikki have been selling cookies outside medical marijuana clinics before, and their parents see it as a way to learn about the difference between using the drug as a medicine compared to recreation, Mrs Lei told said.
The Green Cross was more than supportive of Miss Lei's initiative, and staff bought several boxes for themselves, Mashable reported.
Miss Lei's business idea was equally approved by Girl Scouts of Northern California, who said it is down to the parents where children sell the cookies.
In 'high' demand: Miss Lei sold 117 cookie boxes in two hours standing outside The Green Cross
'The mom decided this was a place she was comfortable with her daughter being at,' Dana Allen, director of marketing and communications for Girl Scouts of Northern California, told Mashable.
'We're not telling people where they can and can't go if it's a legitimate business.'
Not all Girl Scout organisations are as open as California, despite recreational marijuana being legal in both Washington and Colorado.
Girls Scouts of Colorado recently denounced a photo of three girls selling cookies outside a marijuana clinic as a photoshop hoax.
'If you are wondering, we don't allow our Girl Scouts to sell cookies in front of marijuana shops or liquor stores/bars,' Girls Scouts of Colorado tweeted.
In contrast, The Green Cross has invited Miss Lei and her mother to come back, and the charity sales will continue tomorrow, Saturday 22nd February, Mashable reported.

Millions of festive travellers could face major disruption to their Christmas travel plans tomorrow as the UK prepares for severe gales and heavy rainfall capable of bringing the transport network to its knees.
The Met Office has issued a severe weather warning from dawn on December 23, with the threat of gusts of up to 80mph and localised flooding in pockets of the UK, just in time for the big getaway.
Motorists have been braced to prepare for delays, particularly those heading to the south-west of England and parts of Scotland, while those looking to make an early getaway across the seas have already faced some disruption to services as a result of the adverse weather.
Calum MacColl, forecaster with the Met Office, said those looking to travel home for Christmas ought to prepare for problems on the roads and rails.
He said: "There is scope for very heavy rain, potentially some localised flooding, and strong winds in some areas so there is a risk of travel disruption.
"We have got a depression in the Atlantic pushing towards us from tomorrow morning itself.
"The day will start quite nicely in some places, but there will soon be heavy outbreaks of rain in the south-west of England and south Wales.
"That will quickly move into the North East, and it will bring gales with it."
Mr MacColl said winds of 50-60mph were likely as a weather system sweeps across the country, with isolated gusts of up to 80mph in some places.
He said: "Once the weather sets in, it will be staying all day.
"The worst areas will likely be the south-west of England, particularly on higher ground.
"There will certainly be a legacy of rainfall from previous days, so there will be scope for localised flooding.
"Forecasts are painting a very wet and windy picture."
The worst of the weather is expected to clear by the end of Christmas Eve.

A.I.type Keyboard Plus v18.104.22.168
Requirements: Android 2.1+/Rooted
Overview: An intelligent keyboard with revolutionary context-sensitive text prediction, auto-correction, auto-learning, undo/redo/navigation capabilities and cool (and customizable!) skins (WP7, Win 8 and iPhone for instance).
Out of the box, the keyboard provides English prediction only at the moment, but it learns any language you use! (add your local language in the settings, if it's not there by default).
Psychic word completions and predictions are generated by A.I.type's servers on the Cloud. When the device is offline or Internet connection is too slow, or if you disabled Cloud-based prediction, word suggestions will be generated by the device only.
The keyboard also learns your unique words and style of writing (MyType). Just type your texts normally and it will keep learning. The learning model is stored on the device itself and is NOT shared with our servers.
Privacy notice: while installing A.I.type Keyboard, you will receive a warning message about collecting sensitive data. This is the standard general-purpose Android message issued for any downloaded keyboard and it does not pertain to A.I.type. Our keyboard DOES NOT COLLECT YOUR SENSITIVE DATA.
Personal request: if you like our keyboard – please be kind and give us 5 stars in the Market ("four is more but five – and we thrive!"), plus a nice comment. If you don't like us – please let us know why (firstname.lastname@example.com), and we urge you to hold yourself from rating us low. We are working hard to make it a great keyboard, and there are many challenges in the way… We are very responsive and appreciative to feedback and comments, and answer every message (if you provide contact details, of course).
Key features:
* Suggests your next word!
* Completes your current word!
* Corrects your spelling as you type!
* Auto corrects your typos when you hit the spacebar (context-sensitive)!
* Automagically learns your common words and style. We call it – MyType (beta!)
* Supports unique skins (Win Phone 7 skin, iPhone skin, large buttons skin and more).
* Allows skin customization – colors, background images etc.
* Includes a layout for undo/redo/copy/paste/navigation and more.
On our agenda:
* Prediction in other languages (recommendations?)
* Learning from SMS messages on start-up
A.I.type's revolutionary text prediction will speed up your writing by saving more than 75% of your keystrokes. You choose entire words instead of typing one letter at a time. A.I.type is great for your emails, SMS messages, chats, social network communications etc.
With A.I.type, the word you're looking for will often appear in the list without typing even a single letter! Practically any word appears with just one or two keystrokes. This ability comes from A.I.type's patent pending technology which understands what you're typing and helps you quickly and easily find just the word you were looking for.
In addition, when you type fast and make typos as you go, A.I.type auto-corrects your words, and – being sensitive to the context – it does it well!
Because A.I.type keeps improving, it's recommended that you allow the auto-update feature to run so you'll always have the latest version.
What's in this version:
Support Christmas live theme!
Bug Fixes
Support Emoji plug in, download separately.
New layouts: Russian phonetic, Bulgarian, Bulgarian phonetic, Norwegian, Hungarian, Slovenian, Slovakian, Azerbaijani, Esperanto
Fix many language layouts.
German and Slovenian menus.

Participation in further education and training: how much do gender and race matter?
Rice, Patricia (2000) Participation in further education and training: how much do gender and race matter? Southampton, UK, University of Southampton, 49pp. (Discussion Papers in Economics and Econometrics, 0019).
Download (209Kb) |
This paper examines the differences in participation rates in further education and training that persist across Britain's ethnic groups, and between males and females within a given group. A statistical model of choice of post-16 activity is estimated using data on a large sample of 16 year-olds in England and Wales. The analysis shows that a significant part of the gender gap in participation rates in further education is attributable to compositional differences, in particular differences in the distribution of academic attainment levels. However, differences in participation rates between the White majority group and the ethnic minority groups in Great Britain are primarily a result of differences in the behaviour of otherwise identical individuals.

I had a chance to see Godpseed back in 2003 in my pretty small hometown, I had no idea who they were but my friend said I really should go... and I didn't. After all this time I finally get a chance to redeem myself as a human being.
My friend who did end up going said that the advertisement for the concert had Godspeed You! on one line and Black Emperor on the next line, and apparently a bunch of people showed up for some death metal band called Black Emperor. They were pretty pissed off.
totally gonna cry watching these people.
anticipation is at critical mass.
it makes me forget to relax. with a heart full of holes, and a head full of dreams. with a mouthful of honey, and a fistful of bees.
Could Godspeed close the Sahara?

I have an extra ticket now for the Friday, 4/20 show at Great American. $25. PM me if you want it.
Anyone have an extra ticket for the show on the 19th?

Hearing David Guetta while Godspeed is playing is just going to make me laugh...
and then cry.
The hour long set is lame. I was hoping for an hour thirty.
Kinda sad it's only an hour but fuck, it's Godspeed
an hour. how pointless.
1 hour of GY!BE > 0 hours of GY!BE
Tool - 3.27.14 @ US Airways Center
Coachella - 4.11.14 - 4.13.14 @ Empire Polo Grounds
Fucking, exactly. C'mon. I will be more than happy to have GY!BE tear down and rebuild my world for an hour. Cuz it's better than nothing. One thing, tho, I will be secretly praying that lightning strikes the sahara sound system so fucking Guetta's set gets shut down.

Either way, I am now stoked I am seeing them tuesday as well
I'm really hoping their set time/location gets switched for weekend 2...
I'm happy to see them at all, for any given time, but the sound bleed from the Sahara is going to be horrible (especially in the beginning of their set/songs)
They should swap them & miike snow (or asap rocky)! Bon iver isn't too loud....
Yeah really guys, an hour of Godspeed is better than no Godspeed.
Can't wait to hear the David Guetta remix of God Bless Our Dead Marines.
^I have an extra tic for their GAMH show on 4/20. Keep that in mind.
an hour is good enough to hear Moya (15 mins), BBF3 (25 mins), and Albanian (20 mins)...works for me

Neuron, Volume 53, Issue 1, 4 January 2007, Pages 1-4

SummaryFunctional interactions between the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) and the Trk receptors were demonstrated several years ago, but their mechanistic basis remains uncertain. In this issue of Neuron, Wehrman et al. provide a three-dimensional structure of the full TrkA ectodomain complexed to NGF and examine the possibility of a ternary p75NTR-NGF-TrkA complex.

Neuron, Volume 35, Issue 1, 3 July 2002, Pages 65-76
Annette Markus, Jian Zhong and William D. Snider
SummaryNerve growth factor (NGF) induces dramatic axon growth from responsive embryonic peripheral neurons. However, the roles of the various NGF-triggered signaling cascades in determining specific axon morphological features remain unknown. Here, we transfected activated and inhibitory mutants of Trk effectors into sensory neurons lacking the proapoptotic protein Bax. This allowed axon growth to be studied in the absence of NGF, enabling us to observe the contributions of individual signaling mediators. While Ras was both necessary and sufficient for NGF-stimulated axon growth, the Ras effectors Raf and Akt induced distinct morphologies. Activated Raf-1 caused axon lengthening comparable to NGF, while active Akt increased axon caliber and branching. Our results suggest that the different Trk effector pathways mediate distinct morphological aspects of developing neurons.

SummaryA fundamental question in developmental biology is how a limited number of growth factors and their cognate receptors coordinate the formation of tissues and organs endowed with enormous morphological complexity. We report that the related neurotrophins NGF and NT-3, acting through a common receptor, TrkA, are required for sequential stages of sympathetic axon growth and, thus, innervation of target fields. Yet, while NGF supports TrkA internalization and retrograde signaling from distal axons to cell bodies to promote neuronal survival, NT-3 cannot. Interestingly, final target-derived NGF promotes expression of the p75 neurotrophin receptor, in turn causing a reduction in the sensitivity of axons to intermediate target-derived NT-3. We propose that a hierarchical neurotrophin signaling cascade coordinates sequential stages of sympathetic axon growth, innervation of targets, and survival in a manner dependent on the differential control of TrkA internalization, trafficking, and retrograde axonal signaling.

Graphical Abstract
► Proteomic analysis of endosomes containing the neurotrophin receptor TrkA ► TrkA endosomes associate with actin-modulatory proteins ► Retrograde transport of TrkA endosomes is dependent on F-actin breakdown ► The neurotrophin NGF, but not NT3, can bind TrkA to signal at endosomal pH
- The neurotrophins NGF and NT3 collaborate to support development of sympathetic neurons. Although both promote axonal extension via the TrkA receptor, only NGF activates retrograde transport of TrkA endosomes to support neuronal survival. Here, we report that actin depolymerization is essential for initiation of NGF/TrkA endosome trafficking and that a Rac1–cofilin signaling module associated with TrkA early endosomes supports their maturation to retrograde transport-competent endosomes. These actin-regulatory endosomal components are absent from NT3/TrkA endosomes, explaining the failure of NT3 to support retrograde TrkA transport and survival. The inability of NT3 to activate Rac1-GTP–cofilin signaling is likely due to the labile nature of NT3/TrkA complexes within the acidic environment of TrkA early endosomes. Thus, TrkA endosomes associate with actin-modulatory proteins to promote F-actin disassembly, enabling their maturation into transport-competent signaling endosomes. Differential control of this process explains how NGF but not NT3 supports retrograde survival of sympathetic neurons.

There are three distinct seasons: Rainy, Dry, and Hot.
The rainy season starts in May and ends in September. This short season only allows for one crop cycle. Rainstorms usually last no longer than an hour and are very violent. Those storm clouds above are building into a big storm. Flash floods are common and ravines usually dry, turn into turgid and turbulent rivers. The rainy season only allows for one crop cycle.
As October rolls around and the Dry season starts, the temperatures drop from the high 90's down to the mid 80's. The clouds disappear from the sky and the relative humidity drops to 10%! Even more dramatic is the dusty wind off of the Sahara called the Harmattan. It coats everything not moving too quickly with a thin layer of white dust. On particularly bad days visibility is reduced to 100 meters and the usually unforgiving Sun is simply a whitish haze in the sky.
By March the Harmattan dies down and the Sun is directly overhead. Temperatures can easily reach 110 °F and life slows to a crawl. In the mid-day heat everyone finds their favorite shade (usually a mango tree which also happens to be bearing fruit this time of the year) and tries not to move to much. The first sign that the hot season is coming to a close is the blooming of the flamboyant tree. It burst with orange, yellow, and red flowers when almost everything around it is brown and tan. When the first rain falls and softens the hard, desiccated earth, people start getting ready for a new farming season and the cycle continues.
The land around Navrongo and Lawra is very flat and intermitantly populated with trees. Much of the low-lying brush has been cleared due to farming and firewood collection. The most common trees found around Navrongo and Lawra are either sheanut or baobob. The sheanut tree has a soft pulpy fruit with a hard seed. The hard seed is crushed and used for oil. The baobob is often called the "upside down tree." The barrel-like trunk may reach a diameter of 9 meters (30 feet) and a height of 18 m. The large, gourdlike, woody fruit contrains a tasty mucilaginous pulp. A strong fibre from the bark is used locally for rope and cloth. The trunks are often excavated to serve as water reserves or temporary shelters.

As part of a sting operation, Symantec (SYMC) tells a hacker group that it will pay it a $50K ransom to keep the source code for some of the firm's security products from being posted on the Internet. After playing a bit of cat-and-mouse, the "talks" broke down and a 1.2GB file that's allegedly software code for one of the firm's products has been posted online.
I threw away my Dell computer and abandoned the Windows operating system forever in 2008 when my PC had a virus which Symantec's Norton product could not even detect, let alone remove.
I went right out and bought a Mac and have never looked back. The only thing I don't understand is why Symantec and its peers are still in business! -
Uncle, the answer is really simple and its the same answer to most IT questions. IT managers are super practicers of CYA. They buy Symantec and other products so that when their customers get a virus its not their fault and then they get paid to fix their own mistakes.
thanks for your note. Trouble is, for my home computer the IT guy and the customer are the same person.
I sent a letter to the Symantec management telling them that their product was worthless. Copies to Dell & Microsoft. I didn't get any reply but not long after the Symantec CEO quit. Could be just a coincidence.

Haghia Sophia (Istanbul, Turkey)
Date: 28/06/11, updated on 29/06/11 (149 review reads)
Advantages: Wander in awe at this beautiful structure it will not fail to please you.
Disadvantages: None as far as I am concerned.
Following my visit to the Blue Mosque in Istanbul directly opposite is the Hagia Sophia known in Turkish as the Aya Sophia. If you think the blue mosque is impressive then you will be absolutely astounded by the beauty found inside the Hagia Sophia. It was originally a Christian church then a mosque and now a museum. The orthodox meaning of Hagia Sophia is the church of the holy wisdom. These two great buildings are often depicted in photos of Istanbul.
History of the Hagia Sophia.
Throughout time there have been three churches built on the site. The first church was built in and around 300AD during the reign of Constantius II but it was burnt down in riots in the city. The second church built on the site was subsequently burnt and destroyed again in 531AD. The only remains of the second church are some carved reliefs which are on display in a pit at the main entrance of the basilica. They depict the lamb of god and the apostles.
The third church was built in 532 by the Emperor Justinian. He promised to build a church like no other and he certainly achieved that in fact some of the other churches and mosques designs are based on the same design with massive domes. It was here that Coronations took place. Although it was the patriarchal seat of Christian Orthodoxy in Turkey at one period in time it also came under the jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Church.
Several earthquakes and fires caused cracks in the massive structure and the vast dome eventually collapsed. Massive buttresses were added to the structure to give it more strength and stability. The Hagia Sophia was used as a place of worship up to the great invasion by the Ottoman Sultans. People who were unable to fight and try to protect Istanbul from the Muslim invaders sought refuge in the Hagia Sophia but once the city had fallen they were either enslaved or murdered.
In 1453 once Constantinople was in the hands of the Ottomans, Sultan Mehmed allowed his troops to pillage the city and take what they wanted for three days after which he would ride into the city and any other treasures were deemed to be his. He immediately ordered that the church be converted into a mosque. Many Christian artefacts were pillaged but some were smuggled out to other churches around the globe including the stone from the tomb of Jesus, Mary's milk, the shroud of Christ and bones of several Saints who had been buried in the church. The Christian Icons were removed and the mosaics on the walls were desecrated, the eyes of the saints gauged out and their faces destroyed and then the walls were plastered over. The Muslims then installed Arabic writings from the Koran all over the church. There are massive Arabic inscriptions on round plates on each of the Domes supporting pillars. Four minarets were erected and the gold cross on the top of the dome removed and replaced by a brass crescent to signify that it was now a mosque.
The Aya Sophia had been the largest cathedral in the world for a thousand years right up until it was overtaken in size by the cathedral in Barcelona. The Church remained a mosque right up to 1935 until it was closed due to its poor state. The new president of Turkey opened the building to the public but not as a church but as a museum.
My visit.
Entering the Aya Sophia from the main entrance you walk into a very large and long corridor. In this corridor murals and richly decorated mosaics adorn the walls in gold, blues, reds and marble adding to the decoration of this vast corridor. There are three doors leading into the main church. The middle and largest doorway was for the Sultans use only. Others would have had to enter by the two doors on either side of the Sultans door.
Once through the Sultans doorway the sight that greets you is absolutely breath taking and you would have to see it yourself to believe it. Words cannot describe the beauty; photos do not do it justice either. This vast, massive, enormous cavernous domed church is overwhelmingly gigantic. I have never been in such a massive open space as this. It really takes your breath away and although I hate the word awesome it really is awesome. You feel quite miniscule standing in this beautiful great abyss. This great hall is 250 feet by 220 feet square and dome itself is 180 feet high.
There is a mixture of Christian and Islamic art and furnishings throughout the building. The walls are highly decorated and adorned with golden coloured mosaics and hues of other colours but the overwhelming colours are blue and bright yellow gold. These wonderful mosaics apparently cover an area of 4 acres just to give you an idea of how vast this building is.
The domes too are magnificently decorated and the main supporting arches were painted with angels. Unfortunately only one of the angel's faces is preserved as the others have been ruined by having their faces gauged out. All the Christian symbols and mosaics were plastered over but since the re opening of the museum some very slow and painstaking restoration work has taken place to expose the full beauty of this building.
Looking towards the place where the high altar would have been there is the Mirab which is facing in the direction of Mecca. There is also a marble pavilion on the right of the great hall. Massive chandeliers hang from the ceiling which adds a somewhat mystique to the already beautiful building. There is certainly enough to keep you entertained on the ground floor however on the second tier is where we next headed.
The second tier would have housed the Sultans wife who would have had to walk up a fairly steep and uneven ramp to reach the second tier. It was only on my way down that I fully appreciated how far the trip up had been as I had been eagerly excited to reach the second level so the walk up did not seem so far. Once reaching the second tier the balcony surrounds the whole of the open space below. The Sultana would have sat on the left hand side of the mosque. On the right hand side of the upper tier is where we were heading. There are some intricately carved balconies surrounding the second tier and all the way round the perimeter give superb views of the massive hall below giving a bird's eye view and appreciation of how big the Hagia Sophia really is.
Towards the right side there is a carved marble doorway which was the entrance to Mamuts library and leads you to some very impressive mosaics of Christ and the blessed virgin Mary. They have been painstakingly restored however there of course is some damage to them. The faces luckily on some of them have been preserved quite well under the plaster used to hide them. The best feature is that of the mosaic of Virgin and child which is right over the Mirhab.
After descending the great ramp you are back in the great hallway entrance where you then exit out of the warriors vestibule into a square that contains a very ornate ablutions fountain.
I think that Ataturk was a brilliant leader in as much that he has opened this fabulous building for all of us to enjoy rather than leaving it in a state of near ruin. Over the years it has undergone restoration works so that we can enjoy all that is within this beautiful place. I must admit aesthetically it does not appear as beautiful as the blue mosque from the outside but then it was built many, many years before the blue mosque.
Opening times :
09:00 to 16:30.
Prices for entry are 10 TYL which is about £7 and another 10TYL if you want to go to the upper level.
Although it is no longer a working church or a mosque I still believe that you should have a modicum of decorum so as not to offend others by not wearing revealing clothing.
Would I recommend it?
Of course absolutely I would recommend it is as being one of the most important buildings to see in Istanbul along with the Blue mosque. These two great monuments complement each other greatly.
Summary: Superb in every way.

Important delivery notice
The products on this site are only delivered to UK addresses. If you require delivery to another country please visit one of our other sites below.
Sue Foster says: "The first parsnip I grew - and what a fantastic crop! This canker resistant variety produces long, smooth roots that are delicious roasted and makes phenomenal Parsnip and Ginger soup. After a couple of frosts the flavour is exceptional, and they keep in the ground for an impressive length of time without turning woody."
Direct sow parsnip seeds outdoors from mid spring to early summer, as soon as the ground is workable. Avoid sowing in cold or wet soils. Grow parsnips in a sunny position in stone-free, well prepared ground that has been deeply cultivated. Parsnips prefer a fertile, light, well drained soil.
Sow parsnip seeds thinly at a depth of 2cm (¾in) in drills 30cm (12") apart. Germination is slow and may take up to 28 days. When large enough to handle, thin out the seedlings within each row to 7cm (3in) apart or 10cm (4") apart if larger roots are required.
Water well to encourage germination. Once germinated, parsnips should be watered only when necessary to keep the soil moist. Keep beds weed free at all times.
Harvest parsnips from late autumn through to January, as and when required. However, their flavour will be improved if they are left in the ground until exposed to frost. Alternatively lift and store parsnips in boxes of barely moist soil, peat or sand, and store in a cool place. Roots can be stored like this for up to 4 months. Loosen the soil around the roots with a fork before lifting them to avoid damaging the roots.
Seeds and garden supplies will normally be delivered within the time period stated against each product as detailed above. Plants, bulbs, corms, tubers, shrubs, trees, potatoes etc are delivered at the appropriate time for planting and will be stated on the product page or in your order acknowledgement page and email.
Orders for packets of seed incur a P&P charge of £1.95.

Washington State Congressional Candidate John Koster on Abortion
"I know a woman who was raped and kept the child, gave it up for adoption and doesn't regret it. In fact, she's a big pro-life proponent. But, on the rape thing it's like, how does putting more violence onto a woman's body and taking the life of an innocent child that's a consequence of this crime, how does that make it better?"

Research Using C-SPAN Data Wins Award
December 4, 2013
Recently, Schurz Communication, a broadcast and cable company based in South Bend, Indiana, sponsored an innovation challenge for students at Purdue University. They also sponsor competitions at Notre Dame and Indiana University. The challenge was for students to develop innovative solutions to modern day problems using technology. Entries included ways to watch events with twitter feeds from events, web app creation software, and TV-watching monitoring software. Second prize in the competition was awarded to an application that was based on data extracted from the C-SPAN Video Library.
Using software developed by engineering students Zachary Williams and Jacob Stevens, under the direction of Purdue University Brian Lamb School of Communication Professor Sorin Matei, they analyzed the centrality of appearances at a November, 2011 Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction hearing. The method analyzed who speaks after whom creating conversation ties that decay the longer time passes between turns of speeches. Speakers that are closest to each other are the most connected, those more distance are exponentially less connected. The slide below shows the pattern of relationships that they found. Those that spoke the most were not necessarily those who were most central to the conversations.
The C-SPAN Archives encourages research by university faculty. In this space we will highlight other on-going research including several papers presented at the recent meeting of the National Communication Association.
Congratulations to Zachary and Professor Matei for their work and recognition by Schurz Communication.
