What Is It?
CBD e-liquids are a type of vape juice that uses CBD instead of nicotine. CBD e-liquids have only recently become available, so, there are a lot of questions and some confusion surrounding this new product. What is CBD? What is CBD e-liquid? Is CBD e-liquid similar to CBD oil? Is it safe and legal to use?
Let's take a look at these questions to better understand the facts about CBD e-liquid.
What is CBD?
Cannabidiol, also known as CBD, has only recently become legally available in the United Kingdom, but it is already growing in popularity. CBD is a plant extract derived from hemp and used in CBD oil and CBD e-liquids.
Because cannabis is known for its psychoactive properties, some people assume that CBD will have the same effect. But CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it won't make anyone high.
CBD is one of over a hundred cannabinoids found in cannabis and a lot of research has gone into the effects of CBD on the human body. Unlike Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, one of the other cannabinoid constituents of cannabis that the plant is more famously known for, CBD does not have intoxicating effects and is instead used for other purposes.
Is CBD e-liquid Legal?
The short answer is yes, CBD e-liquid is legal in the United Kingdom. Products containing THC are illegal but CBD oil and CBD e-liquids have been made legal in the last few years.
Until recently there were only a few products available in the United Kingdom that use CBD and they were all restricted, medical items.
Side Effects
The possible side effects are one of the most common concerns regarding products using CBD. A lot of research has been done into the effects of CBD in humans and the results indicate that CBD does not generally cause any severe side effects. Although there are some potential minor side effects to be aware off.
CBD can cause lower blood pressure and lightheadedness which can be a problem in anyone who already suffers from low blood pressure.
Cottonmouth is another common side effect associated with CBD. Cottonmouth is a dry mouth feeling cause by the cannabinoid receptors in the saliva glands.
A small study has shown that high levels of CBD can cause increased tremors in sufferers of Parkinson's, although more research needs to be done to confirm this.
Higher levels of CBD can cause drowsiness and also inhibit the liver's ability to metabolise drugs.
CBD Oils vs. CBD e-liquids
There can be some confusion between CBD oil and CBD e-liquids as CBD oils can also be vaped although they require special equipment.
CBD e-liquid is basically the same as any other juice you might vape except that it contains CBD instead of nicotine. E-liquids use a base of propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerine (VG) or a mixture of both and can be vaped using a regular atomiser.
CBD oil on the other hand uses a base of oil instead of PG and VG. The oil is usually hemp oil and CBD oils require specialised equipment to vape and come with additional health risks compared to CBD e-liquids.
Health risks with CBD oil
Vaping with oil requires special equipment but also carries a risk of lipoid pneumonia which is an inflammation of the lungs that presents with symptoms of coughing, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing and often fever. Lipoid pneumonia can also sometimes cause haemoptysis or coughing up blood.
Lipoid pneumonia is usually found in older people but it has been linked with vaping oils and there has been at least one confirmed case of hemp oil causing lipoid pneumonia.
CBD oil carries this same risk of lipoid pneumonia regardless of whether it uses hemp oil, olive oil or any other oil as the base.
Thankfully, lipoid pneumonia isn't a risk when vaping CBD e-liquid or any other juice. The base of PG and VG used in e-liquids doesn't affect the lungs in the same way as oils and research has shown it to be safe.
Cannabis Oil
The confusion between CBD e-liquids and cannabis oil is another common misconception when discussing CBD.
Unlike CBD e-liquids which are legal and regulated within the United Kingdom, cannabis oil is illegal. Cannabis oil contains THC, one of the other cannabinoid constituents of cannabis that is known for its psychoactive properties. Like CBD oil, cannabis oil has health risks but can also lead to a large fine or imprisonment.
It is important to remember that CBD e-liquid is very different to cannabis oil when it comes to the law and its effects.
CBD e-liquids and drugs tests
The question of whether CBD e-liquids show up during drugs tests is an understandable concern for anyone whose job involves these tests.
CBD e-liquid uses CBD (cannabidiol) which is a cannabinoid found in hemp, but CBD is legal and not something that drugs tests are looking for. Most drugs tests are looking for THC, the cannabinoid that is more famous for its psychoactive properties. As CBD e-liquids do not contain THC they should show up as negative on most drugs tests and a false positive for THC is very unlikely.
At The End Of The Day
CBD e-liquid uses CBD, also known as cannabidiol, instead of nicotine. CBD is a plant extract derived from hemp but it shouldn't be confused with cannabis or THC, one of the other cannabinoids found in hemp that is known for its psychoactive properties. Unlike Cannabis or anything containing THC, CBD e-liquid doesn't have psychoactive properties and is completely legal in the United Kingdom.
CBD e-liquid is also sometimes confused with CBD oil. Both the e-liquid and oil can be vaped, although the oil requires specialist equipment and has health risks that aren't present in CBD e-liquid. CBD e-liquid is safe, legal and shouldn't be confused with cannabis or CBD oil.

Fire manipulation is, simply put, the ability to manipulate fire. While the intensity of the ability varies, this tends to be a highly destructive and powerful ability when in the right hands, though it can be hard to control. Naturally, fire can be put out by water easily, and often times, fire manipulators don't come with an immunity to their abilities.

How our hospitals could reduce the pain and cost of complications
Australia's hospitals would reduce avoidable suffering of hundreds of thousands of patients and save many millions of dollars every year by introducing more effective quality and safety systems, a Grattan Institute study has found.
"Our hospitals by and large perform and serve patients well, but this report shows that many could do even better by introducing more focused methods of identifying and correcting practices that frequently expose patients to avoidable complications in hospital," the CEO of the Consumers Health Forum, Leanne Wells, said.
"This study by the Grattan Institute shows that if all hospitals achieved the performance of the 10 per cent top performing hospitals, 250,000 patients would be protected from complications like hospital acquired infections, adverse events and medication errors.
"The study makes seven recommendations to boost hospital safety and quality including more public information about the cost and revenue resulting from complications, a more open and effective accreditation system including surprise inspections of hospitals by accreditors and financial safety and quality incentives tailored to individual hospitals.
"We support public disclosure of hospital data on preventable complications so that hospitals can compare, benchmark and improve their performance.
"These changes should appeal to state governments and hospital managers as a means of improving their bottom line by realising up to $1.5 billion in estimated savings which could finance hospital care for an additional 300,000 patients.
"The report coincides with the imminent introduction of the new National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards on 1 January 2019 and the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care's own review of the Australian Health Service Safety and Quality Accreditation (AHSSQA) Scheme which it coordinates.
"Having found wide variation and lack of consistency in how assessments were being undertaken, the AHSSQA Scheme review recommended measures to revamp the assessment of hospitals against national standards including standardised accreditation cycles, short notice assessments, repeat assessments for those hospitals found to have large number of areas for improvement, and better public reporting of assessment outcomes.
"Many of these accord with the Grattan Institute's recommendations and are supported by the Consumers Health Forum.
"The Consumers Health Forum has always supported a continuous improvement approach to strengthening hospital performance: standards and accreditation are tools towards that end.
"We would be concerned if version 2 of the national standards created a more compliance than continuous improvement approach. Compliance and culture that fosters improvement and innovation are both important. We believe that the recommended measures to make the accreditation scheme more robust and consistent will help strike that balance.
"We particularly welcome the public reporting of hospital quality and safety issues in a way that does not alarm the community. The report makes the point that with the publication of detailed accreditation reports, citizens would be better equipped to hold elected governments responsible for hospital performance.
"We also welcome the AHSSQA review recommendation that it should be mandatory that assessment teams complete a comprehensive orientation program and that consumers will be routinely invited to participate in the assessment process.
"We would argue however that steps should be taken to further develop and formally recognise and mandate the role of the consumer accreditor system-wide. It should be mandatory for consumers to occupy designated roles in accrediting teams and that they are actively supported with tailored training for this purpose. We are starting to see the emergence of a small consumer accreditor workforce. This should be encouraged and rapidly built in to accreditation processes as a business as usual practice," Ms Wells said.

The NFL Players Association has a crucial decision to make in the days following Super Bowl LIV. The union is expected to vote on a 17-game schedule at some point in the next few days, according to Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter of ESPN.
The players have been vehemently opposed to a 17-game schedule in the past, citing health and safety as major concerns if the NFL adds another game to the regular season schedule. The players still feel that way, but other aspects of the deal are reportedly enticing. It's created a situation where players have to "accept the one thing they hate, a 17-game season, in exchange for 10 or more things they want," according to ESPN.
The NFLPA held a meeting Thursday to discuss the new collective-bargaining agreement, which would not go into effect until 2021. That meeting included a few player agents, who informed the players of the consequences of rejecting the current proposal. If the players reject the proposal, that could lead to a work stoppage in 2021. The meeting reportedly lasted six hours.
The players were nearly unanimously against the idea of a 17-game schedule at the meeting, though that may have softened as they were taken through the other aspects of the CBA. There was at least enough progress made that the NFLPA will hold another meeting following the Super Bowl. The players are expected to ask the owners for more concessions in order to get on board with the 17-game schedule.
While the current CBA doesn't expire until after the 2020 season, there's some urgency to get a deal done soon. The owners claim they will pull the current deal and play out the 2020 season if the players don't accept the offer soon.

Parkinson's disease (PD), a neurodegenerative disorder affecting millions of people worldwide, causes muscle stiffness, slow movements, and tremors, making everyday tasks difficult to perform. Although there is no known cure, various treatments make PD more manageable, including deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy, which delivers mild electrical stimulation to specific regions in the brain through implants powered by an implantable pulse generator (IPG) that sits inside the chest. Therapies improve PD symptoms, but do not slow or stop disease progression, making it imperative to have options to adjust treatments as the disease worsens. As with any fixed surgical implant, changing DBS treatment parameters – such as simulating different areas of the brain – can be difficult.
"The progression of PD necessitates a therapy that can evolve with the patient," says Dr. Francisco Ponce, director of the Barrow Center of Neuromodulation in Phoenix, Arizona.
Cochlear-implant-inspired approach
To deliver a solution that improves patient comfort and enables physicians to easily adjust treatment as a patient's symptoms change or progress, Boston Scientific looked to cochlear implant technology for inspiration, implants that regenerate hearing and teach users to identify different sounds, voices, and music. Engineers at Boston Scientific strived to create a similar product that would target specific locations and produce specific levels of stimulation in the brain. The company released the Vercise Primary Cell (PC) and Vercise Gevia DBS systems, featuring the Vercise Cartesia directional lead. The systems, with development spanning back to 2004, allow physicians to control the range, shape, position, and direction of electrical stimulation.
"This type of stimulator is described by some as a brain pacemaker," says Rafael Carbunaru, vice president of research and design at Boston Scientific. "However, the heart doesn't require the same finesse as the brain, as it simply contracts in a particular sequence. The brain is different because each fiber may be carrying different information. You need to be careful where you stimulate because 1mm difference right or wrong can have a significant impact on the patient."
To give neurologists better control of the shape and size of the stimulation field, Vercise directional DBS systems use eight individually controlled electrodes on each lead, providing stimulation adaptable to impedance changes within the brain.
"With the brain you want to stimulate the right target," Carbunaru says. "And this stimulation has to be maintained over time."
These requirements are addressed by:
Electrodes – Cartesia directional leads allow current to be delivered in any direction around the lead.
Electricity – Current directed to each of eight contact points within the lead enables a stimulation shape that matches the target area. Multiple independent current control (MICC) independently manages how much current flows on each electrode.
Software – STIMVIEW technology developed by Boston Scientific allows neurologists and physicians to view the stimulation field being created on a screen, allowing them to easily match the shape of the stimulation field with the target region in the brain.
Engineers designed both systems to maximize device lifespan and usability. The Vercise Gevia system uses a rechargeable battery with at least a 15-year lifespan. The Vercise PC system's battery, although not rechargeable, should last approximately four and a half years using typical settings. Data collected on the first Vercise system in the U.S., which won FDA approval in late 2017, shows that patients treated with the system had a 49.2% improvement in symptoms.
Developing, upgrading technology
The Vercise PC and Vercise Gevia DBS systems include mechanical, electrical, and software aspects which constantly change as technology advances. This requires Boston Scientific to work on future generations of technology while they develop and launch the first versions of these systems.
"Boston Scientific has created an environment where we can have a strong, safe manufacturing procedure that is reliable but also has the flexibility to advance," Carbunaru says.
As advancements appear, engineers upgrade the devices' capabilities to match – making electronics and mechanical packaging smaller, improving power supplies, and adding software capabilities. Computer modeling and in vitro studies ensure upgrades work and produce efficient results. The Vercise directional DBS systems are currently being used in clinical studies such as the global DBS post-market registry and DIRECT-DBS, a study that evaluates the effectiveness of directional leads used to treat PD.
Material science is also important, as implants must be biocompatible and interface well with body tissue. This can be a long process, as the devices are designed to last at least 15 years and therefore must be capable of long-term biocompatibility.
For future iterations of their DBS systems, Boston Scientific hopes to one day develop a closed-loop Vercise system, a feat that has not yet been possible due to the need for a sensitive, specific signal.
"Our vision is for the systems to become smarter, more autonomous, and more natural as a neural prosthesis," Carbunaru adds.

US tactics fuel Iraqi anger
By Mike Donkin
BBC correspondent in Baghdad
As American forces in Baghdad press harder with raids to track down Saddam Hussein, they are being warned that they risk making more enemies for the future.
The death of five civilians here at the hands of an elite task force hunting members of the former regime has prompted condemnation from many Iraqis at what they call heavy-handed and uncaring tactics.
US tactics have been described as 'heavy-handed' and 'hysterical'
Task Force 20 raided a villa in the belief, it is reported, that perhaps Saddam's youngest son Ali or even the former president himself was sheltering there. They found nothing and made no arrests, but troops guarding the scene shot and killed five people.
I went to the scene in the wealthy Mansour district after the task force had left, saying nothing except that they were fired on first.
Local people told a different story.
When I walked around the villa, owned by a relative of Saddam, I went through the door that the task force blew up to enter and was shown smashed windows and ransacked rooms.
Maybe the Americans thought Saddam Hussein was there, but they just got hysterical
Mansour resident
In the street close by an angry crowd pointed to a pool of blood in the road, near where one car was shot at as it approached the US soldiers.
One witness told me: "My neighbours were getting out of their car when they started shooting," he said.
"A woman was hit and a man got out of the car to say they were doing nothing wrong. So the soldiers fired at him, and at his brother in the car."
At a central Baghdad hospital a US guard confirmed "several deaths", all of them as a result of gunshot and shrapnel wounds.
Innocent dead
In Mansour people gathered around me. One man in the crowd expressed his outrage. He said the Americans always shot first and then they asked the questions.
Troops fired on Iraqi cars that approached them
"There was no need for these shootings" another said. "Maybe the Americans thought Saddam Hussein was there, but they just got hysterical. They shot innocent civilians in front of our eyes."
Another man told me he was no friend of Saddam Hussein's and he had not liked the former regime.
"But I cannot accept the way the Americans treat us," he said.
"When I see things like this I can understand why people want to drive them out of our country. If this happens more and more then I will also join this resistance."

Thirteen teachers of a private school in north Kashmir's Baramulla town were detained last week for allegedly 'glorifying militancy' and motivating students to become militants.
Videos doing the rounds on social media showed 13–14-year-old boys being encouraged to act as militants somewhere in the forests of Zandafaran, where they had gone for a school excursion in the first week of July.
As some boys played songs eulogising death, some students act as militants, ready to carry out an attack.
The school management refused to talk on the matter. Chief education officer, Baramulla, Abdul Ahmad Gani told KP that he will get the matter investigated and "stern action will be taken against the school management".
Police took action as soon as the videos went viral on social media.
Though these are mock videos, police officials said these acts could 'brainwash' the boys to become militants in the future.
'This shows how some teachers with vested interests whose mandate is to turn young boys into disciplined students encouraged them to take guns," said a police officer on condition of anonymity.
Police let go of 11 of the teachers on Sunday after stern warning and intervention of some elders, according to sources. Objectionable material was recovered from the two in custody. One of them is the one who shot the video, they said.
Baramulla SSP, Imtiyaz Hussain refused to divulge further information about the incident.
The private school has more than 200 students on roll. Sources said that parents, most of whom are from poor families, expressed shock over these videos and sought the intervention of administration.

Mangaluru, May 23,2017: It is reported that illegal sand extraction continues to thrive in parts of Dakshina Kannada, including Bantwal, the constituency of Minister for Forests, Environment and Ecology, B. Ramanath Rai. This is despite stringent action being initiated by the Police Department.
After the licence period for sand extraction in rivers under Coastal Regulatory Zone ended in April second week, sand extractors appeared to have gone up-stream the Netravathi.
Sand extraction continues unabated in the backwaters of Thumbe vented dam built across the Netravathi meant to provide drinking water to Mangaluru residents.Sand extractors have been using large steel boats and extract the sand with the help of baskets tied to long bamboo poles, a method practiced to extract sand in CRZ areas.
Sources in Public Works Department maintained that the area covered by backwaters does not fall under CRZ area; permits to extract sand should be given either by PWD or Mines and Geology Department.
In this case neither the PWD nor the Mines and Geology Department have issued permits to extract sand in the backwaters, sources said confirming illegal extraction.
DK DC Dr K.G. Jagadeesha said that he would immediately ask the officials concerned to look into the matter.
Superintendent of Police Bhushan Gulabrao Borase told media representatives that immediate action would be taken against illegal sand extraction. He said though containing illegal sand mining is not the core duty of the police, they are forced to act against it. The department has opened rowdy sheet against at least 90 persons who habitually indulge in illegal sand extraction in the district.
More than 40 boats used for illegal sand extraction have been seized and it is becoming difficult for the department to guard them, SP mentioned.

We all heard at some point that CONTENT IS THE KING. Is Content is really the king in marketing or especially in digital marketing?
Content marketing became a necessity in the modern marketing world in order to stand apart from the competitors. To help you better understand the influence of content marketing, we have put together a list of the top advantages that content marketing can offer your brand. This is a must-read blog for you if you still think content marketing is not too important.
1. Digital Marketing is impossible without great content
Regardless of what type of digital marketing tactics you use, content marketing should be an important part of your process, not something separate. Quality content is part of all forms of marketing:
Social media marketing: Content strategy comes before your social media strategy.
SEO: Search engines reward businesses that publish quality, consistent content.
PPC: For higher CTR, you need great content behind it.
Inbound marketing: Content is key to driving inbound traffic and leads.
2. Great Content Helps to Build Trust Within Customers
The greatest benefit of having great content is that it helps you to build your reputation within your target customers. In the current busy digital market space, all brands are seriously competing to create trust within the customers.
It is vital to have the trust of the customers for any business. The customer trust is converted to the business conversions.If you are publishing great content frequently, the target group will start thinking that you are the
best in the industry. Appealing content shows you have such a vast knowledge about the topic.This makes the audience think that you are the best among your competitors.
3. SEO is worthless if you don't have a great content
SEO plays an important part in improving visibility for your business online. However, if you want to improve ranking, you need to create optimized content.
Earlier, the search engines gave importance to off-page optimization and meta keywords. It was easier to rank then. Now, search engines are competing to show the best and accurate results to the users.
The search engine shows only the content that is loved by the audience. Or in other words we can say, Earlier Search engines listed the websites, but now they are listing the content.
Not to mention, the more content you have on your site, the more reasons you give visitors to spend time on your website. This means a higher on-site time, which can also positively impact your ranking. Google sees time spent on site as one indicator that your site provides valuable content.
4. Great Content Generate Quality Leads
The most important aspect of Content Marketing is, of course, Lead Generation and conversions.
After all, Digital Marketing is all about generating leads and driving traffic to the customers.Businesses always need fresh leads to generate revenue and to keep the business going. Content marketing helps your business to be found by the users who are searching for your particular products on the web.
People refer your website content before they decide to buy your products or Services.Content marketing should be done strategically according to marketing funnels. The contents for the bottom and middle of the funnel generate more leads and hence conversion.
This shows the importance of your content marketing strategy.
5. Good Content Establish Great Relationships
For most of the business, half of the income comes from repeated customers. Loyal Customers is nothing but an advantage for any type of business. If repeated sales bring you a huge revenue, then you should find a strategy to maintain a strong bond with your current customers.
This is where content marketing comes in.
Providing great content doesn't stop after a lead becomes a consumer. Content that provides value for your customer base will increase brand loyalty by strengthening the relationships you have with customers. This can bring repeat sales
and help you bring some advocates for your brand.
6. Customers are always looking for great content.
Internet users are always in search for great content. So why not give the users what they want?
Your content should penetrate the customer touch points. You should plan your content strategy as such. Previous proven experiments must be shared with your audience. This brings value to your customers and builds a reputation in their minds.
The key to creating effective content that helps you connect with your eager audience is focusing on topics that are relevant to their needs, interests, and challenges. And don't forget to show a little bit of personality to help consumers get to know your brand and what sets you apart from
the rest.
With all the points mentioned above, it's very clear to say why content marketing is important for businesses of any size. Not only does content marketing help you boost visibility and ranking, but it can also help you build stronger relationships with your customers.
If you are eager to see the importance of content marketing in action, it's time to get started. Develop a content marketing strategy that has your target group at its core. Then, you can be on your way to creating valuable content that helps boost visibility and conversions and improve customer retention.
Now comment about more reasons why you think content marketing is important…!!

Outside Awards
VA Benefits and the Yellow Ribbon Program
If you are a qualifying veteran, you may be eligible for educational benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) through one of several VA programs. Military dependents may also be eligible if education benefits have been transferred to them. In all cases, the decision to use your benefits or to save them for graduate school, for example, is a personal one and we encourage you to consider all of your options. For all VA programs, Stanford's Office for Military-Affiliated Communities (OMAC) serves as the liaison between the University, its students and the VA. Instructions for activating VA educational benefits for enrollment at Stanford are on the OMAC web page for Activating VA Educational Benefits. For any VA education benefit inquiries, please contact the VA Certification Officer at firstname.lastname@example.com. The VA Certifying Officer acts as an intermediate between the VA, Stanford University and the student to ensure accurate reporting and compliance with VA regulations.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill®, also known as Chapter 33, is the most commonly used VA educational benefits program at Stanford. This program provides funding for tuition, required fees, books and housing. The level of an individual student's Chapter 33 benefits is determined by the qualifying veteran's length of military service since 9/11/2001. For the 2020-2021 academic year, the base benefit for tuition and fees is capped at $25,162.14.
If you qualify for Chapter 33 benefits at the 100% level, you may be eligible for additional funding through the Yellow Ribbon Program. Under this program, Stanford provides an annual contribution to supplement the Chapter 33 base tuition benefit. The VA matches Stanford's Yellow Ribbon contribution. For the 2020-2021 academic year, Stanford's maximum annual Yellow Ribbon contribution for undergraduate students is $10,000 per student, with the VA providing a matching amount of up to $10,000. For graduate and professional students, the amount of Stanford's Yellow Ribbon contribution varies by school and program; please consult the Yellow Ribbon chart on the Office for Military-Affiliated Communities website.
Most of the VA educational benefit programs pay benefits directly to students on a monthly basis. However, under the Post-9/11 GI Bill® (Chapter 33), the VA sends tuition and fees benefits to Stanford, where the Financial Aid Office is responsible for applying the funds to the student account (university bill). Chapter 33 books and housing benefits are sent directly to students monthly. Students are responsible for paying any non-required fees and housing-related charges.
The logistics of receiving Chapter 33 benefits at Stanford vary depending on your program level and dependency status. In general, undergraduate students who are veterans themselves are considered independent, and undergraduates who are receiving transferred benefits from their parents are usually considered dependent. The pages linked below provide details for each category of students.Updated on June 18, 2020 10:04 AM

OK, so both have monster Atk, though Garchomp has much higher speed, Dragonite has better defending stats in general. They both have quite a wide movepool, and both have a crippling weakness to Ice, but Dragonite has more weaknesses and... THIS IS CONFRUSING!Prease help!
They're both good. But garchomp better like you said about weaknesses here's a nice moveset for it:
fire fang(ice weakness)
Dragon claw or dargon rush(if your feeling lucky)
Crunch/Ariel ace/brickbreak/stone edge
and if you have dragonite:
Fire punch(ice coverage)
aqua tail(rock coverage)
brickbreak/Ariel ace/stone edge
i would say garchomp cause garchomp can beat a dragonite as its speed is is like light and dragonite defense is good but it's attack is OK but if garchomp attacks first it wins the match !
and as dragonite is part flying garchomp can use a rock type move to KO it
Basically both are fantastic Pokemon with a total base stats of 600 each. I faced the same problem but now i would personally suggest Dragonite holding Yache/Persim Berry with the following moveset:
Outrage-STAB, great power, advantage of high atk., coverage against dragon types,high acc.
Hidden Power(Fire)/Flamethrower-high acc.,great power, main for coverage against ice types
Hurricane-STAB, great power, what else?
Earthquake-Used to deal with rockies,high acc. and great power
Garchomp is likewise great with speed and atk
i recommend the following moveset for Garchomp holding Yache berry
Earthquake-great power, STAB, high accuracy
Flamethrower-Powerful, high acc., deal with ice types
Dragon Rush-Powerful,STAB
Stone Edge-Powerful, Gives edge over ice types
Well the decision to use either remains in your hands.
If you want a speedy, powerful pokemon then Garchomp.
If you want a strategic pokemon that can learn a wide range of moves then Dragonite.
By the way, it's not about who can beat who, it's about what weaknesses, disadvantages, and advantages they have. Both have a 4x weakness to ice.

Magento Appears To Be Promoting "Quick" To Combat Disruption From Below
Magento has recently been promoting a story about a 10-day, start to finish eCommerce build. I'm sure we've all heard similar marketing messages about how easy it is to get a store up and running in quick and simple fashion. There are some people in the community that are concerned with the implications of that messaging. Is this going to become a persistent theme that we are going to hear more of or just an edge case? I believe the concern is valid based on my own personal experiences in the automotive restoration market.
Magento is the go-to choice for eCommerce operations that need to granularly control their customer interactions. It's flexibility is unsurpassed and it's primary market has been those that need this flexibility and invest in customizing the platform. Although quick and fairly "stock" builds are very possible, the assumption if you are utilizing Magento is that you are looking to build something custom. I am assuming it's this assumption that Magento is trying to shift in order to combat "disruption from below" with SaaS platforms. However, what are the ramifications of shifting this perception?

When is the right time to sleep with someone in a relationship? How can you tell when it's right to sleep with someone after only one date?
These are the questions that crosses everyone's mind, so when is the best time to sleep with someone in a relationship? lets find out that with the help of experts.
Relationship expert and Millionaire Matchmaker, Louanne Ward believes it can be 'risky business' to build a relationship based on sexual feelings alone.

The coach believes it is not the best idea to start a sexual relationship based purely off of sexual attraction and chemistry.
"Relationships are very easy to get into when they are based on sexual chemistry but they are often very hard to get out of," Ward said.
'It's immature to expect a relationship to blossom where sex is the driving motivator.'
Louanne said in some instances sleeping with someone on the first date can work as it can be an effective way to get close to someone without using words.
"There is the benefit of knowing what you're getting as a sexual connection between two people is just as important as an emotional, mental and spiritual connection," Ward continued.
Ward captioned that it might be tempting to 'live in the moment' this might not always be the best thing, especially if both parties are unclear about whether or not a relationship could develop.

'Males and females have very different emotional responses to sex. A woman can often feel a much deeper emotional attachment through the act of making love.'
"Nobody really knows where something is going as it's simply a hypothetical attempt at predicting the future," she continued. "If someone sees you as relationship material, if, and when, you sleep with them isn't going to alter their decision."
"On hearing this, a more emotionally evolved person will often take it as a warning sign that they are potentially with an emotionally insecure person and the recipient will head for the hills."
Ward advised those who hoped an intimate sexual connection would lead to a fulfilling relationship to wait and get to know the person better.
"If you build a relationship with the foundation of sexual chemistry, it will fizzle out as quickly as it ignited," she said. "You need to establish a mental connection, one of respect, intimacy on an emotional level."

Classic French Madeleines
Minggu, 04 Agustus 2019 Tambah Komentar
- 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, melted until browned
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest, finely grated
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 and 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup confectioners sugar, sifted, optional
- Cut the butter in tablespoons and place them in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking, until the solids sink to the bottom of the pan and turn golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and pour the browned butter into a small bowl. Stir the vanilla and lemon zest into the butter, then set aside to cool.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside until needed.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the eggs at medium speed while gradually adding the sugar. Once all of the sugar has been added, increase the speed to medium-high and continue whipping the mixture until it's very thick and pale in color, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the mixer off and, using a silicon spatula, fold in the flour mixture in three additions, stirring just until combined. Fold in the butter mixture.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, and up to 2 days.
- 30 minutes before you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375 degrees (F). Generously brush the molds of your madeleine pan with butter, then lightly dust with flour.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, spoon level scoops of the batter into the center of each mold. You don't need to spread the batter.
- Bake for 12 minutes, or until the "bellies" have risen and they're golden brown.
- Cool madeleines in the pan placed on a cooling rack for a minute or two, then gently loosen them from the molds. If they stick, carefully run a small knife around the edge of the cakes until they release.
- Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve warm, with coffee or tea.

Good vibrations
You have two main products – Sylomer and Sylodyn – that are elastic products for vibration isolation. Could you explain their benefits and use? Explain the MPE performance too.
Sylomer and Sylodyn are elastomers whose elastic properties are prominent and retained for a long period of time. Hence they can be applied for equipment directly below their legs or below their foundation blocks. Long term performance and the simplicity of the installation are the highlights of Getzner's solution. The solution can be adapted to any constructional methodology for the equipment and the site conditions. This saves time and costs involved for adoption of a vibration isolation system.
As a manufacturer, how do you design and mass produce products and materials specifically tailored to meet the customer's needs?
We have our own state-of-the-art manufacturing facility located in Burs Austria where they manufacture standard and tailor-made products. We can manufacture variety of grades of Sylomer and Sylodyn with specific stiffness. With the availability of materials with different stiffness and the ability to vary the area and thickness of the pads, Getzner can tune their isolation solutions to the desired natural frequency as per the need of the application.
You are known to consistently make technological breakthroughs that improve safety and service. Could you provide us with a recent example?
Fire protection and sustainability is increasingly gaining in importance in the construction, industrial and railway segments. The demand for vibration isolating solutions is on the increase, as is the demand for fire-retardant materials throughout the world. In response to these requirements, Getzner has developed a range of fire retardant materials for a variety of different applications under the name Sylomer-FR. The introduction of Sylomer FR grade makes it possible to combine effective and reliable vibration protection with fire protection, which is a major advantage. Sylomer FR meets a number of international fire protection standards, therefore providing constant protection against vibrations in areas at a risk of fire.
Example: Fire safety norms are more stringent for rail coaches. Getzner's Sylomer-FR grades pass all the safety norms with DIN5510-2 or the new European standard EN 45545-2.
Getzner successfully installed vibration isolation system (VIS) at Essar Power. What was the scope of works?
The scope of work in Essar Power Project was to design, supply and installation supervision of the VIS for the motor boiler feed pump (MDBFP) foundations and the fan foundations in the Essar power plants. We installed its vibration isolation system to isolate the MDBFP foundations as well as the seal air fan (SAF) foundations.
At the 1,200 MW Salaya plant in Gujarat, engineers faced the problem that the deep-seated block foundations of the pump are located very near to structural columns of the turbine generator building. The requirement was to avoid the transfer of vibrations from MDBFP and SAF foundations to nearby structures.
What are some of the vibration isolators used in construction applications? How do they work?
Elastomers, air springs and steel springs are the conventionally used vibration isolators. Elastomers are good when natural frequency is needed to be above 5Hz and air springs or steel spring are good for low frequencies of 2-3Hz.
Principally all the isolators work on the same phenomenon of elasticity (spring stiffness) and mechanical loss factor (damping coefficient). Every isolation system is a combination of stiffness and damping coefficient. So depending on the requirement of the equipment a VIS with specific property is designed to serve the isolation or damping purpose
What, according to you, is Getzner's USP?
Design and construction simplicity, maintenance-free operation and long life expectancy exceeding 40 years.
Do you have different solutions for different regions? If yes, could you point out some differences?
We do not have solutions based on regions. But we do have solutions based on different applications. Like isolation directly beneath the equipment or isolation below the foundation block of the equipment, etc.
What is happening on the R&D front in India?
The Indian office takes care of the marketing, sales and support for Indian customers. The R&D happens at our headquarters in Austria.
What are some of the challenges moving forward?
Our applications are mostly used in the infrastructure industry like urban railways, mainline railways, power, steel and cement. The challenge of moving forward is the performance of the infrastructure industry in India.

Recently I heard that phrase given as a description of a Church. I think that this description could be one of the worst statements about an assembly of God's people. I think one would be highly offended to be so classed. And the first reaction would be to deny that the term would possibly apply. But then let us consider what aspects of a Church would make it a lazy Church.
Well we have to look first at the pulpit. That is what everybody does. Everything depends upon leadership. What kind of man should stand behind the sacred desk and at the various other stations that he is supposed to stand at. First of all he should qualify as the man of God in testimony. First Timothy chapter 3 pretty well describes what kind of character he should have and be. He should know the Word of God according to his tenure. He should be able to rightly divide the Word of truth. He should know what the Word of God has to say on just about any subject, or at least know how to find it shortly. As an under shepherd, he must have an unusual care and compassion for the sheep that the Lord has put under him. He must be long suffering as the Lord himself is. A man who has no patience is not a fit Pastor. He should be able to correctly balance his care of the flock and work diligently in the bringing new lambs into the flock. It has been said long ago by a wise Christian philosopher, that "shepherds don't give birth to lambs; sheep give birth to lambs." Admittedly, a Pastor is also a sheep as far as the Lord is concerned. A lazy Pastor would not study for his ministry, rather he would rely on his gift of gab and some shoddy outlines. He doesn't fit his sermons to his audience, and he doesn't apply the messages to himself. Nap time is his favorite time of day!
Now lets continue, because we are talking about a lazy Church. Just about any Church is primarily made up of people who come on Sunday morning only. They have no idea or interest on what goes on within the operations of their Church. So the more non attending Church members, the lazier the Church. I am sorry to say that it is almost impossible to get those people motivated to even be faithful to other services, much less, to get involved in the various ministries of their Church. Sometimes a good dose of salvation helps. Sometimes a good eternal scare helps. Sometimes a light bulb just comes on! A full set of encyclopedias is not enough space to record all the excuses people give for not being obedient to preaching the Gospel to the uttermost part of the earth. Nineteen out of twenty Christians never personally lead a lost person to Jesus Christ.
That brings me to the possible need to break down the term lazy Christian. A lazy Christian is not familiar with the Bible, because he is too lazy to read it. Because he does not read the Bible, he is not able to know what the Lord has for him or for him to do. He is afraid to witness or testify, because he does not know what the Bible says, in answer to opposition. Because he does not truly know the doctrine of the Bible, he tends to think that all Churches are the same, so never confronts the error of dead Churches. Did you know that right now (2006) the Presbyterians are trying to figure out how to put a feminine term into the Holy Trinity. They are also in a heated battle as to whether homosexuals can serve in the presbytery. Most other protestant Churches have approved it in one way or another. Aren't you glad you are a fundamental, independent Baptist? We don't have anyone to even discuss such matters with. Not in Boston or Nashville!
There is possibly another thought that might enter into our little description of a lazy Christian. Many Christians say they would like to do more for the Lord, but just don't have the opportunity or the time. Consequently something or someone makes sure that there are ample duties, obligations and responsibilities that seem to make God's work take second place. What is it that says, "I can't go to Church because I have this more important duty."

Many Asian countries even consider it a delicacy! So keep an open mind and remember that every country has their own strange but delicious foods. I mean, look at France. They eat snails while the people of India probably think Americans are crazy for eating red meat.

I built an MPCNC a while back and am finally getting around to finishing it off. My machine is a combined use CNC and 3D printer so I have elected to use Marlin software. The main use for my machine is 3D printing using a direct granule extruder that I am developing for use with recycled plastics, this requires a larger format and heavier machine than a regular 3D printer due to the size of the extruder. I also have plenty of aluminium CNC work for it, so it's very much a dual use machine.

I also have plenty of aluminium CNC work for it, so it's very much a dual use machine.
I built my Plasma CNC about 5 years ago. I had originally intended to use it to cut out component parts for a product that I make, however I found that the output quality was not 100% reliable and so with the cost of laser cutting being very cheap locally, it was simply not cost effective to run. So for the most part it has sat in the workshop taking up space. I've recently decided to update it to hopefully improve its reliability.
The Arduino YUN shield is a shield that combines an additional stand alone processor and WIFI. It runs a cut down Linux distro called OpenWRT. This WIFI / OpenWRT setup is most often found in things like Wifi routers. Arduino originally combined this with a Duemilanove on a single board to make the Arduino YUN, but the good folks at Geeetech and Dragon split the YUN interface out onto a seperate Arduino shield so that it could be used with a variety of different Arduino boards. The cool thing about these setups is that the Linux side of the package can talk to the Arduino side, which not only means that you have effectively given your Arduino WIFI capabilities but also makes it very easy to make IOT devices that need things like WIFI / Web interface / External Logging / Network Logging, well you get the idea, the list goes on. It's truly a very powerful tool.
If you want to use the YUN to install additional programs or datalog you will need to expand the existing memory as it is woefully small. You can do this using an external USB drive
I was looking at this DIY VR headset the other week - https://github.com/relativty/Relativ
It uses a gyro and arduino to create controller movements on your PC so that you can map the head movements to your games and display the screen in the headset. It's not a full VR experience but would be cool as a DIY project.
Some time ago I converted my rotary table into a dividing head using a stepper motor, Arduino nano and a stepper motor driver. The setup incorporated a basic two line LCD display and rotary encoder as the GUI and user input device respectively.
Operation was very basic, with a basic menu driven system to set number of steps / turns per degree and choose the mode of operation (degrees or divisions per increment).
Someone asked me about this the other day so I posted the files up on GitHub along with some photos of the set up. There should be enough detail in the photos and code comments to allow you to replicate this. It is pretty basic.
Feel free to use / modify as you wish.
I've been a long time supporter / user of open source EFI systems and have been playing with Speeduino for the past year or so. Speeduino is an Arduino based EFI system that uses a custom shield to provide the necessary signal processing to interface the Arduino to the engine sensors, coils and injectors allowing it to control the engine.
It is also possible to use Speeduino without the injectors (ie spark-only), turning it into a well featured ignition system, which is very useful for those of us who want to run a distributor-less ignition system without paying a heap of cash.
I've been a proponent of Mac and OSX for some time now having been attracted to its simplicity and the 'it just works' way that it operates but since the Mavericks update some things simply don't work. The biggest issue that I have found is that apples newly written USB drivers will not connect to my Arduino, a major PITA when it comes to uploading a new program. The solution is to disable the OSX drivers and install the OEM version which worked for me and seems to work in 95% of cases. Why Apple have decided to move away from the chipsets manufacturers drivers I will never know although I suspect that it may be due to an incompatibility that causes Kernel Panics as I have personally experienced these since moving to the OEM drivers. This is fairly repeatable - hold down the Arduino reset button whilst uploading the program and your machine will likely go into an involuntary and instant reboot. The solution is of course simply not to hold down the reset button but as this is a common hack to get the program to upload you may have to suffer a few missed uploads instead. Not a massive issue, at least I can now communicate with the arduino again.
The most recent issue to hit me as a potential result of Mavericks is that sent email messages seem to disappear into the ether instead of appearing in the sent box as they should. This issue only recently came to light when I needed to find some previous correspondence. For reliability and ease of management I use a hosted exchange server to handle my work emails and OSX Mail as my mail client. What I found was that the last sent message in my sent folder was dated December 2013, the previous correspondence I was looking for was nowhere to be seen. I also checked the exchange OWA browser client but after looking there I also found that there were no recent sent mail messages stored.
After a short call with the exchange tech who advised me to use a client that they supported - namely outlook 2010 - he advised that the issue appeared to be related to the Mavericks update. For some reason the outgoing server had been changed - there were now two exchange outgoing servers in the server list. I changed the outgoing server to the other exchange server listed and sent a test message. Viola! the message was saved in the sent messages folder.
I'm not sure why or how the second outgoing server was added, It's definitely nothing that I have consciously done as the exchange account has not been altered since it was setup in 2010, additionally no one else uses this machine. I can only assume that as the tech suggested it is related to the mavericks update as the last email date roughly coincides with the date that I updated. Of course I am happy to concede that it could be due to some other unrelated reason but knowing that I did not create the second outgoing server makes me wonder how it got there.

Ready or Not? How to Tell If Cannabis Is Ready to Harvest
Your first time growing cannabis for personal use can be a bit nerve-wracking.
You've got to get the lighting, watering, nutrients, and a ton of other factors just right.
The worst part is having to guess when your cannabis is ready to harvest.
Thankfully there are clear signs you can follow that maximize the effectiveness of your crop.
Keep reading to find out the most common ways you can know when cannabis harvest time is here.
Signs Cannabis Is Ready to Harvest
Before you check your plants themselves you need to know their grow cycle. The seed provider gave you a rough schedule for vegetation and flowering cycle lengths.
These aren't 100% accurate but they're a good starting point. You don't want to harvest too early.
If you do the plant won't have enough time to develop the maximum amount of THC, CBD, and all those wonderful terpenes. The opposite is also true.
Harvesting too late causes them to break down. It also lets other less beneficial chemicals begin to form.
Curling Leaves
One sign that it's nearly cannabis harvest time is curling and browning of the leaves. As pot plants mature they take in less water.
This causes the leaves to begin to brown. This is the first sign you'll see that harvest time is near.
You shouldn't immediately start clipping. There are lots of other things that can cause your leaves to brown.
If it's a healthy plant though this is a sign you should start checking other things.
Look for Pistil Changes
After curling leaves, you're likely to notice that the pistils and stigmas of your plant are changing. They start off straight and white.
You're looking for about 50-60% of them to brown and wilt. This is a strong sign harvest time is coming but not confirmation on its own.
There's one last thing you should look at to get the best timing.
Check Trichome Color
The most accurate guide on when to harvest cannabis comes from the trichomes. These are tiny resin bearing glands that cover the leaves and buds of your plant.
They show up as the plant begins to flower and are the most accurate indicator of when to harvest cannabis. You'll need to buy at least a 40x jewelers loupe or a microscope to check these.
We weren't kidding when we said they were tiny. Without magnification, they look just like tiny crystal hairs all over your plant.
As your plant matures the trichomes go through three stages:
- Clear
- Cloudy
- Amber
Every change in color changes the chemical composition of the resin. As they mature the concentration of THC increases up to a certain point.
You want to harvest when the trichomes are about half and half cloudy and amber. This gives you the best mix of features without letting the earliest parts that matured begin to degrade.
Don't Be Afraid to Make Mistakes
Most people flub the timing a bit on their first harvest. Treat it as a learning experience. The next time you'll get closer to when your cannabis is ready to harvest and still have some pretty good medical marijuana medicine.
You can find out more about growing and harvesting your own cannabis by checking out some of our other articles found here.

Ajuga Description and Cultural Information
Ajuga reptans, common bugleweed. 4"-10". This bugleweed is a fast spreading groundcover with flower spikes in the spring. 'Burgundy Glow' has variegated foliage of burgundy, cream, and green and 6" blue flowers. 'Catlin's Giant' has large purple-green foliage and 10" blue flowers. 'Purple Torch' has green leaves and 6" purplish-pink flowers. 'Metallica Crispa' has deep bronze-purple foliage that takes on a metallic sheen in some sun with 6" blue flowers.
Ajuga x tenorii 'Valfredda' (aka 'Chocolate Chip'). This is a neat little ajuga with miniature chocolate colored foliage and 3" blue flowers. It clumps more than it spreads and makes a great border plant. 'Toffee Chip' PPAF is a variegated form.
How to Grow: Plant ajuga in the spring or fall into average to rich, well-drained soil in sun or dappled shade. Ajuga establishes and spreads quickly but can also be invasive. Provide good air circulation and good drainage to prevent crown rot. Plants in full sun will often need supplemental watering during the heat of the summer but let them dry out between watering to prevent crown rot.
Landscape uses: Ajuga grows great in dry soil under shade trees where grass may not grow but it will also grow nice and thick in a fair amount of sunlight so works great as a border plant or in a rock garden. We use ajuga as a mass, weed-free groundcover in our lily beds. The flowers put on a beautiful show in spring and early summer and the foliage looks great all season long.
