- Residents say his name should be in the Guinness Book of World Records
- Despite being a great athlete famed internationally, Kipchoge remains humble
As athlete Kipchoge seeks a historic record in the INEOS 1:59 challenge in Vienna Austria, back home in the North Rift region, his name is on the lips of everyone ahead of the expected big day.
From his rural Kapsisiywa village in Nandi county to the streets of Eldoret and Iten, and from ordinary folk to the prominent in society, Kipchoge's name reverberates across the hills in the region that is home to many great world beaters.
Kipchoge is however now rated the greatest of them all and residents here wish him success, describing the athlete as a rare human being whose name should be in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Many vehicles and buildings in the region have the INEOS Challenge stickers as everyone seeks to support and be associated with Kipchoge.
"Kipchoge has already done as proud, being the greatest marathoner of all time and we foresee God raising him even more in the INEOS Challenge," said Ben Kimeli, who hails from Kipchoge's home village in Nandi.
He said despite being a great athlete famed internationally, Kipchoge remains humble, a keen listener and highly respectful of everyone.
"That is why God raises him always and we pray that the same happens in Vienna," Kimeli said.
Nandi Governor Stephen Sang says the county is greatly honoured as Kipchoge's home and his immense success has brought joy and fame not only to the county but the country.
"I have encountered him several times and he truly believes in the motto that no human is limited and that with God's guidance everything is possible," Sang said.
The county leadership and many Kenyans will join villagers of Kapsisiywa to watch the INEOS Challenge race and cheer on Kipchoge and prepare for the greatest home coming in the region no matter the outcome of the race.
Sang's administration will provide a giant TV screen for residents of Kapsisiywa to watch Kipchoge live and most residents have high expectations that he will set the record below two hours.
Hundreds of athletes from the region visited Kipchoge to wish him well as he trained for the challenge. Veteran athlete Kipchoge Keino was among those urging him on and anticipating success.
"I have watched him running and also as an ordinary person here at home and I believe he is a much focused athlete who can make it," Kipchoge said.
Another veteran athlete, Moses Tanui, said Kipchoge was a very focused person whose humility and great spirit makes him a rare person who can succeed where many dare not try.
"As athletes, we wish him well and it will be a great honour to this country to see him achieve that record. It's very possible," Tanui said.
Nandi Deputy Governor Yulita Mitei said mothers in the country were proud of Kipchoge as a great son.
"Kipchoge is the best for the INEOS Challenge and he will make it because he has rare determination and fighting spirit that is backed by his equally rare character as a human being of humble always," Mitei said.
Budding athlete Maryline Kwambai from Iten says Kipchoge has always been an inspiration to young athletes. She says he always advises athletes to be focused, disciplined and determined.
"We always see a father figure in Kipchoge and the few times I have met him he always tells me the secrets of success including being God fearing and respect for everyone I encounter. I'm proud of Kipchoge and his success at the INEOS Challenge will be success for Kenyans and all humanity," Kwambai said.
A bank manager where Kipchoge is a client in Eldoret said he had never seen a great person, famed worldwide, but who always remains humble and seeks no recognition in society despite the greatness.
"We always get surprised to see Kipchoge queuing like any other person whenever he comes to the bank. He always insists on following the queue because he considers himself like any other customer. That is the greatness in him and no wonder he is going for greatest challenge in Vienna," the bank manager said.
Governor Jackson Mandago of Uasin Gishu said the North Rift region was greatly honoured to have Kipchoge. He said Eliud Kipchoge was now brand name that markets the region and the country.
"He is a great son of this country and we are greatly indebted to him for the honour and fame he has brought us," Mandago said.
He said Kipchoge was unique person who would make the challenge. Residents of Eldoret will watch the challenge on a giant screen erected in Eldoret town by Mandago's administration.
The INEOS Challenge promises to bring not only Kapsisiywa village to a halt but the entire region and the country. Its Eliud Kipchoge's name all over the place.

The Montreal Canadiens finally have their man.
Today, general manager Pierre Gauthier announced that the Habs and goalie Carey Price have agreed to a two-year contract worth a reported $5.5 million. The deal ends months of speculation about the future of the future of this franchise — stemming back to the deal that sent Jaroslav Halak to the St. Louis Blues on June 17.
So, while Halak was busy packing his bags for Montreal and a stop at a suburban shopping mall for a charity fundraiser/autograph session this Saturday, Price was busy putting his name to a contract that will, on paper at least, keep him in a Canadiens uniform for the next two seasons. The announcement also ensures that Price's contract status does not overshadow the start of training camp, which is two weeks away.
Talk about distractions.
Interesting to hear Price on today's conference call from Kelowna, B.C., where he has been skating with teammates Josh Gorges and Travis Moen. Price admitted that contract talks went longer than expected, but he's glad both sides got the deal done. And in a rather candid moment, he figured that there was a 50-50 chance that the Canadiens would opt to trade HIM and keep Halak.
He's glad they didn't. Trade him, that is.
Did the Canadiens make the right decision when they peddled Halak and kept Price? Well, let me ask you this: did the St. Louis Blues make the right decision when they locked Halak in with a four-year contract worth $15 million?
The answer to both questions: only time will tell.
Personally, I'm very okay with the two-year investment the Canadiens have made in Price's future. That's enough time to finally determine the calibre of goaltender they have on their hands. I'm not convinced that Price was as bad as the numbers he put up last season: he had plenty of "help" from his friends. The same way that I'm not convinced that Halak is as good as the numbers he put up during the playoffs last season.
At the same time, the Canadiens last season gave Price ample opportunity to seize the day as the team's number one goaltender, and he failed to respond to the challenge. When given the same opportunity, Halak proved that he was up to the task. And then some. This city was alive with playoff hockey well into the month of May, thanks to the scintillating performance of one player: this unassuming young man from Bratislava, Slovakia.
If the Canadiens had hoped to lock in Price, long-term, I'm glad they didn't. Sure, it could end up costing them $$$ in the end, should he finally live up to his press clippings by the time his two-year deal is over. But that's a risk I'm willing to take (although that's easy to do, because it's not my money.)
In the meantime, as the Canadiens prepare to hit the ice at training camp, rarely, in recent seasons, have I seen hockey fans in this city so polarized. On the one hand, you have Habs supporters who are still fuming at the way Halak, this team's best player during the post-season, was summarily dispatched to St. Louis for a couple of "prospects." On the other hand, you have Canadiens fans convinced that Price is the future of this team in goal.
If Price thought the pressure was on him when the Canadiens made him the number 5 overall pick in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft, he ain't seen nothing yet. One thing is clear, however. It's time for him to live up to that billing.
Or else.

The phenomenon known as El Niño — where Pacific Ocean waters warm up, often bringing wet winters for California — is intensifying, according to a new report by federal climate experts.
As California struggles with its third year of drought, the report predicts moderate-to-strong El Niño conditions for this winter, with water temperatures rising to levels not seen since 2002, and perhaps approaching those of 1997-98, one of the highest rainfall years on record all over California.
"El Niño conditions are strengthening. We expect at least a moderate event this winter, and possibly a strong event," said Michelle L'Heureux, a meteorologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and author of Thursday's report.
The conclusions were based on temperature readings from dozens of buoys, along with satellite images and the predictions of numerous computer models from scientific agencies around the world.
The El Niño now under way doesn't guarantee that California will receive drenching winter rains. But the stronger the conditions and the warmer the water, the greater likelihood.
Since 1951, there have been six winters with strong El Niño conditions. Some of California's wettest winters occurred during those strong El Niño winters.
In more moderate El Niño years, when ocean waters are warmer than normal, but not extremely warm, rainfall sometimes is above normal, but just as often below.
During the last moderate El Niño, in 2002, for example, rainfall was 103 percent of normal in Northern California, but in a similarly moderate El Niño in 1986, rainfall was just 60 percent of normal.
So could California's drought, now in its third year, be coming to an end this winter?
"That's the $64,000 question, or maybe the $64 million question," said Jan Null, an adjunct professor of meteorology at San Francisco State University and 24-year forecaster with the National Weather Service.
"With the weak and moderate El Niño events, the rainfall is mixed. When we get into stronger El Niño events, the chances improve of a wetter winter."
Northern California is experiencing its first drought since 1992. A fourth winter with below-normal rain could lead to strict rationing statewide next summer, with fines and "water cops" patrolling neighborhoods.
With that backdrop, many California water officials perked up last month, when NOAA announced that the Pacific Ocean was officially experiencing El Niño conditions. Thursday, NOAA said those conditions appear to be strengthening.
"It's encouraging," Null said. "I'm sure the water managers are all rooting for a strong El Niño. That's what the ski resort operators want. That's what the power companies want for their dams."
Although scientists don't know the exact causes, El Niño begins when trade winds that normally blow westward weaken. That allows warm Pacific Ocean water near the equator to spread east, toward South America. The opposite, or a cooling of the water, is called "La Niña."
The term El Niño — or "little boy" in Spanish — was originally used by fishermen along the coasts of Ecuador and Peru to refer to "the Christ child" because the phenomenon appeared every three to eight years around Christmas.
In addition to people, El Niño conditions also have dramatic effects on fish, whales, birds, sea lions and other species. Warm water from the equator moves north in an ocean current along California called the Davidson Current. With it come fish normally found only in warmer areas.
"In the last big El Niño, they were seeing striped marlin off San Francisco, and tuna species that you might find out of San Diego were being caught off Monterey," said Jim Covel, a biologist with the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
On the negative side, all that warm water can limit upwelling, the process by which cold ocean water filled with plankton and other nutrients is pushed to the surface, providing a smorgasbord for birds, fish and other marine life.

It's not uncommon for me to see people with STRETCHED, PULLED, OR TORN MUSCLES. The thing you have to remember is that rarely is a muscle really "torn". What I mean is that it is not common to tear the muscle belly — the meat of the muscle —- even though that sort of language is used routinely. Most of these problems involve tears of the FASCIA (the thin, clearish-yellow, cellophane-like membrane that covers the muscle), and not the muscle itself.
For whatever reason(s) (SPORTS, MVA, falls, the things listed above) a person ends up with an abdominal problem. The sort of problem I am wanting you to get a picture of not only causes pain, but most frequently it causes at least some degree of lost motion and / or strength as well. We once had a phenomenal high school athlete brought in to us in a wheel chair with an abdominal "tear" that happened while playing Ultimate Frisbee (no rough stuff; he just came down wrong). Regardless of how it happened, whether it's a new injury or old, or how debilitating it might seem at the moment; knowing more about this common injury might help you get your life back on track or at the very least, save you some future grief.Allow me reveal to you some facts that make this and similar injuries not only potentially debilitating, but nearly impossible for the average doctor to figure out.
- THE AVERAGE DOCTOR HAS NO IDEA HOW TO DIAGNOSE THESE SORTS OF PROBLEMS: As you might imagine, the first step in providing effective treatment is to have some sort of idea what the problem is. This means providing a proper diagnosis. Rather than me telling you, HERE is a post that contains a study letting you know just how poor a job general doctors do diagnosing musculoskeletal problems in the first place.
- THE AVERAGE DOCTOR HAS NO IDEA HOW TO TREAT THESE SORTS OF PROBLEMS: I wrote about this YESTERDAY. As you might also imagine, the usual drugs (CORTICOSTEROIDS, PAIN PILLS, and NSAIDS) are not going to do it. Fail to deal with the SCAR TISSUE in the Fascia and sooner or later you will be suffering. Unfortunately, tests and drugs are what doctors do. Great for some things. Not so great for problems like this.
- MOST SCARRED ABDOMINAL TISSUE DOES NOT SHOW UP ON MRI: Mind you, I am not talking here about the sort of "internal" adhesions that are the result of female issues such as ENDOMETRIOSIS. I am talking about adhesions in the tissues — most specifically Fascia (although sometimes TENDONS are involved — think HIP FLEXORS here). I have shown you over and over on this site that Fascia does not image will with MRI (HERE are several posts attesting to this).
- FASCIA IS THE MOST PAIN-SENSITIVE TISSUE IN THE BODY: Not only is Fascia arguably the single most pain-sensitive tissue in your entire body, but according to Dr. Chan Gunn, a neurologist from the University of Washington, Scar Tissue has the potential to be "superconductive" (HERE is why). This means that Scar Tissue can actually be up to 1,000 times more pain-sensitive than normal tissue.
- SCAR TISSUE IS UP TO 1,000 TIMES MORE PAIN-SENSITIVE THAN NORMAL TISSUE: Whoops. We covered this in the previous bullet point. However, stop and ponder this fact for another moment or two. It's easy to begin to see why the medical community is usually missing the boat in this department. Case in point; how many doctors have shared this information with you?
- THE NATURE OF THE ABDOMINAL MUSCLES THEMSELVES: The thing about the abdominal muscles is that they are made up of layers — lots of layers — one on top of the other, that all run in different directions. Look carefully at all of the pictures on this page. The very reason I put these pictures up is to show you that the abdominal muscles run up and down, side to side, and criss-cross (oblique) in both directions. And that's just for starters.
By the way, if you pay attention to the pictures, you can't help but notice the intimate relationship between the ribs, the muscles on and around the ribs (intercostals, serratus, transversus thoracis, etc, etc) and the abdominal muscles. This is why I so frequently see these problems (RIB TISSUE PAIN and ABDOMINAL PAIN) living together in one big unhappy family (often times with their red-headed stepchild — HIP FLEXOR PROBLEMS). If you think that this might be your problem, send me a PATIENT HISTORY. If I think your problem is something I could help you solve, I'll tell you. If not, I will tell you that as well (HERE). The first step is determining whether your problem is related to scar tissue in the abdominal wall or the abdominal cavity (HERE).

With what might have been the largest audience Just Buffalo Literary Center's Babel series has seen since Salman Rushdie, novelist Alexandra Fuller brought the house down with her unparalleled candor and humor. Without notes or books to read she treated her lecture as she would one of her works—a carefully composed soliloquy spanning a life that's traveled from an English birth to an adolescent home in war-torn Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) to her current roots laying residency as an American citizen in Wyoming. We learned of an Uzi-toting mother, an "illiterate" sister, and the man she loved for twenty years who became the father of her children but didn't deserve the harsh moniker of "ex-husband". This last one led to some fans coining the term "was-band" for her to adopt.
An admitted liberal, feminist, vegetarian who upon arrival in the United States started running wild with her newfound Freedom of Speech, Fuller is captivating, invigorating, and humble. When asked how she reacts to the occasional religious experience readers have upon meeting her, she simply stated it was theirs to have. She cannot be more than Alexandra Fuller. How fans feel about her work or her person has no bearing on who she is or who she aspires to be. All she can do is accept the consequences of telling the truth and forever being honest because anything less is fake and awkward. So what if someone writes a bad review her three kids lap up on the internet to read her when mad? Bring it on.
As Fuller sifted through memories—a childhood amidst war where a gun could be pointed at your head any moment keeps one's recollections vivid despite their distance—it's easy to think we learned more about her family then her writing until realizing they are one and the same. Talking about her mother's belief that her ovaries existed to create her personal biographer introduced the good-naturedly vicious barbs of wit to come. Loving the ability to call her sister illiterate without her there to defend it brought true joy to the author; telling us about these two women's first visit to America ending with her sister in a customs holding room alongside "a thousand weeping Mexicans" an uproarious image to conjure opposite its sharp commentary on our border enforcement.
We learned her ex-husband was the one who kicked her in the pants to write the truth upon leaving them for a new job in Mexico working on a volcano. Posing as a housewife in Wyoming provided her ample time to write and be rejected to the point her agent fired her with the words "you have a little talent but you just have nothing to write about". The truth her "was-band" pushed therefore led to Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight: An African Childhood and its uncensored retelling of a childhood gone awry. To her the truth came in the form of the tribe of people who raised her—the ones she loved despite their faults. This included her mother who felt the book depicted her as a "racist alcoholic"—for good reason shrugged Fuller.
It was the start of an auspicious career of reportage that took her into political commentary comparing USA's use of 25% of the world's energy despite being only 5% of its population to Apartheid in South Africa with Scribbling the Cat as well as befriending a community of cowboys in the oil fields of Wyoming to tell The Legend of Colton H. Bryant and the effects of hydrofracking on a once beautiful sanctuary of land. But it's the tale of how she came to revisit her debut novel from the perspective of her mother in Cocktail Hour Under the Tree of Forgetfulness that resonated the most. After disapproving of her depiction, Fuller's mother asked why she "never asked who I was". It was only through emptying personal bias to experience her mom as a woman that she understood her strength.
This was her lesson for aspiring writers: "have the courage to be empty". To Fuller truth and honesty were only possible if our quality of listening changed and we heard what others said unfiltered by our own interpretations. To understand her mother lost three babies before her sister, was driven crazy by the grief, and still "carried on" showed her power. And despite the jokes about "dropping off" for a second when she thought she'd talked too much or how breast-feeding a baby during an interview will get an American male to tell you anything, her talk was at its heart about keeping your hunger to create. Life is uncomfortable and writing should be as well. She's opened the dialogue—now it's our turn to continue the conversation.

The blog Sincerely, Kinsey – headed up by Kinsey herself – is not just another personal style blog. Besides being a whiz with the camera (she's a professional photographer!), Kinsey offers up DIYs that are uniquely her style: bohemian, relaxed, and edgy. In addition to having an awesome blog, Kinsey is the sort of gal you'd want as your friend, always there to reinvigorate your creative side and encourage you to do what you love. But don't take my word for it. Read our interview with her below, nab her namesake dress, and draw inspiration from her hand-picked ModCloth faves.
As a professional photographer, what's the most fun thing you've ever shot?
Our most memorable opportunity has to be our recent trip to India. We were honored to travel all over India to photograph a wedding and explore with the bride and groom for two weeks. It was the adventure of a lifetime.
You're a contributor to A Beautiful Mess and are also on the Red Velvet Art team – how would you describe a typical work day there?
I spend three days a week contributing to the A Beautiful Mess (ABM) team. What I love most about working with Elsie and Emma is that there is always a new and exciting project to work on. A basic day there consists of creating and photographing DIY projects and helping them behind the scenes of ABM. I'm always learning, growing, and becoming more inspired the longer I work there.
You have so many creative DIY posts on your blog. How do you come up with new crafting ideas?
My biggest source of inspiration comes from other creative individuals around me. When I see others sharing their talents with the world, it pushes me that much more to pursue my own creative dreams.
How would you describe your personal style?
Bohemian, free, and relaxed.
As a native of the Midwest, do you think your style is influenced by your home? How?
It's neat to see how our culture plays into the style of our wardrobe and home. We've found we love rich, earth tones, and a Midwestern meets modern vibe.
What blogs do you read for inspiration?
Some of the greatest inspirational blogs for me are those with few words and a lot of visual inspiration. Lately I've been viewing A Well Traveled Woman, Kinfolk, and That Kind of Woman.
What's your go-to makeup and hair regiment?
I usually go two routes with hair and makeup. On a day where I want to look my best, I give my hair a wavy curl. For makeup I apply a bronzer, copper eye shadow, deep black mascara, and the cat-eye with a deep black eyeliner. On a more casual day, I like to throw my hair up in a sock bun. My makeup will usually just consist of mascara, the cat-eye, and some lip balm!
If you had a party and could invite anyone, who would be the three guests on the top of your list?
This question could have me running in circles, but at the end of the day, I think I would find it most enjoyable if it were the people I love and care about most. I would have to choose my husband, my sister, and my sweet momma. When I think of a party, I imagine it filled with stories, memories, and love-saturated conversations. They would be on the top of my list because throughout my life they've been the biggest influences. They will always be my first choice as a VIP.
Describe your dream three-course meal.
Panera's broccoli cheddar soup in a bread bowl. Oh, and brownies and ice cream. Duh.
Kinsey's namesake dress is the perfect accompaniment to one of her photo shoots.
Kinsey styled her dress practically and stylishly with the First Light Sweater, Truly Gritty and Gorgeous Bag, Pom and Dance Scarf in Mustard, Cargo for It Map Travel Journal, and Have a Good Skip Boot. How would you wear the Sincerely, Kinsey Dress?

Yesterday I went to the Wireless Festival and it was SO. MUCH. FUN! The line-up is pretty shocking this year, I must admit. It's definitely not worth the money (especially compared to previous years I've been) but luckily for me, I got a press pass – which I have never done before! Here's the lowdown and my pics!

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Business | Wed, November 13 2013, 11:53 AM
The government's decision on Tuesday to save ailing state-owned carrier Merpati Nusantara Airlines from liquidation has opened the way for the entry of new investors who had earlier expressed an interest in acquiring the carrier, a minister said.
State-Owned Enterprises Minister Dahlan Iskan said on Tuesday that a number of foreign and domestic investors had expressed an interest in becoming strategic investors to maintain the airline's operations.
However, the investors had been awaiting the government's decision as to whether it would keep the company afloat or close its operations down.
Merpati faced the real threat of closure due to its tremendous debts, totaling Rp 6.7 trillion (US$578.7 million), which is owed to the government and several state-owned companies including oil firm PT Pertamina, airport management companies, PT Angkasa Pura I and PT Angkasa Pura II and the Asset Management Company (PPA).
During a meeting led by Coordinating Economic Minister Hatta Rajasa, the government decided to keep the airline flying and help find investors to repay its debts and fund a route expansion. The PPA had proposed to liquidate Merpati as it doubted the airline's capacity to grow and to pay its debts.
"The government thinks the company still has potential," Hatta said.
He said the government would invite strategic investors to take over the airline by assuming its loans. This approach has been adopted before, for National flag carrier PT Garuda Indonesia to handle the company's debts in 1998.
Hatta added that the government's decision to save Merpati from liquidation was based on market considerations. He said the aviation industry in Indonesia was growing while the airplane services industry had yet to meet market demands.
He added that Merpati had one month to draw up a business plan and present it to the government's economic team before it would be submitted to the House of Representatives. (tam)

Ballet is the foundation of all dance. Its origins stem from Italy. It is a highly technical form of dance with its own vocabulary. It is best known in the form of classical, but can additionally include neoclassical and contemporary ballet.
Each class begins with a ballet barre, moves to a center floor adage, petite and grand allegro, and concludes with a formal grand reverence.
Pointe, as an extension to ballet, is the advancement of ballet class to hard boxed pointe shoes. Students must be approved for this class.
Jazz is an umbrella term that refers to several related dance styles including roots from tap, ballet, jazz music and African-American rhythms and dance.
Jazz class will focus on learning proper dance technique such as isolations of the body, improving performance quality and developing complex rhythms and patterns. Students will be exposed to various styles of jazz such as Broadway, Street and Contemporary to help develop a well rounded dancer. Curriculum is based on ballet technique layered with traditional jazz movement and includes a proper warm-up, stretches, isolations, across-the-floor progressions and combos.
Tap is the only form of dance which incorporates sound.
Tap classes will develop rhythm, style and sound. Students will learn a variety of tap styles from Broadway to Rhythm tap. Exercises focus on building flexibility of the knee and ankles, coordination, and speed of movement. Class emphasis is on developing proper tap technique, producing clear tap sounds, having fun!
Acro/Gym or acrobatics is the art of slow controlled movements using the flexibility of the back, legs and shoulders. Acro is one of the performing arts and involves difficult feats of balance, agility and coordination.
Classes will focus on increasing flexibility, balance, strength, muscle control, discipline and concentration. Emphasis will be placed on developing fundamental acrobatic technique, teaching skills such as handstands, chin stands, elbow stands, cartwheels, back bends, walkovers, balance and contortion tricks, all at each student's individual level of experience.
Lyrical is a fusion of ballet and jazz techniques. Lyrical dance challenges choreographers to use emotion to interpret music and express emotion. A lyrical dancer's movements attempt to show the meaning of music while telling a story through every movement made. Lyrical dance has a relatively recent history compared to other dance styles.
Classes in lyrical will emphasize one's interpretation of music lyrics while telling a story with movement that can be fluid or abstract. Students will take the slow fluidity of ballet and combine it with the the turns and leaps of jazz.
Contemporary is a dance performance genre developed during the mid 20th century and has since grown to become one of the dominant genres for formally trained dancers throughout the world. It is a style of expressive dance that combines elements of several dance genres including modern, jazz, lyrical and classical ballet. Dancers in this genre strive to connect the mind and the body through fluid dance movements.
Hip Hop is a high energy, athletic, popular dance style originated on the streets in the late 80's with break dancing.
Hip hop classes infuse the latest styles of street dancing, breaking, popping, and locking. Students will be encouraged to step outside the box by bringing their own individual style and personality to the movements.

The CBD oil I'm referring to is THC free, and completely legal in my area. I've discussed it with my doctor, and he didn't have any problems with me trying it. I am using an oral, and a topical. It's quite expensive, so I only plan on trying this short term. I'm just desperate to get some sleep, especially since I'm back to work.@Roger71I'm going to start CBD oil and see how that goes.
These are the BoneSmart guidelines for allowing discussion of CBD on the forum. Because BoneSmart is an international site, we have to be aware that there are countries where these products are not legal.
- Is it the hemp-based CBD oil, without THC ? If so, you can tell us here about how it works for you.
- If it also contains THC, unless it's the oil you only apply externally, it must be legal in the area where you are AND you have to be working with your doctor to use it
- If you are going to be taking CBD (with or without THC) orally, you must be working with your doctor, because it can have interactions with other medications you may be taking.
I wish I could advise you about how to stay asleep. Sleep disturbance seems to be a very common problem after a knee replacement. We do have this article:
Sleep deprivation is pretty much inevitable - but what causes it?
Four years after my last TKR, I still have problems sleeping for more than 4 hours at a stretch.
I fall asleep in an armchair during the evening - and miss the TV programme I wanted to watch - and then I sleep from about 12: 30 to 4: 30 a.m. I get up soon after 5 in the morning, because lying in bed trying to sleep is so frustrating.
Still, I'll choose poor sleep and almost pain-free knees over good sleep and knees with bone-on-bone pain any day. It's a trade-off I can accept.

Chiranjeevi annayya changed my life thrice: Pawan Kalyan
A grand Mega fans' event was held at Hyderabad's Shilpa Kala Vedika on Wednesday evening on the eve of Chiranjeevi's birthday. Pawan Kalyan graced the occasion as the chief guest.
"I have come here as a Megastar fan. Chiranjeevi annayya is the biggest inspiration in my life. 'Sye Raa' is the kind of film in which I wanted to see Annayya for long, especially because it's a special movie in which artists from different languages have acted. There are two lovable actors in 'Sye Raa'. If one is Annayya, the other one is Amitabh Bachchan garu, whom I have always admired all my life," Power Star began saying.
He talked about how Chiru shaped his life in three different ways.
"When Intermediate students recently committed suicide in Telangana, it deeply hurt me. It's because I could relate to their pain. Annayya saved me from crises thrice in my life. When I failed in Intermediate, I was down in the dumps. Annayya had a licensed pistol with him. I wanted to take that and shoot myself. Naga Babu annayya sensed that I was depressed and took me to Chiranjeevi annayya, who gave me words of immense strength. Had the Telangana students been guided by their elders properly, they wouldn't have killed themselves," Pawan said.
"When I was very young, I used to get violent if someone talks ill about my country. Sensing my idealism, Annayya felt that I might become an activist. He told me to always be moderate in whatever I do. That word of wisdom drove me away from extremism," Pawan added.
"When I was turning spiritual, Annayya told me not to become self-centered. Those words inspired me to carry on with my material life," the Jana Sena chief revealed.
Talking further about 'Sye Raa', Chiru and Ram Charan, Pawan said, "There is a town by name Konidela gramam in Kurnool district. Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy is from this district. I am happy that Ram Charan has produced the movie. This makes me the happiest. As a brother, I couldn't do it. But Charan, who is like my brother, has done it. Usually, fathers introduce their sons in films. Charan has re-introduced his father in a landmark film! He spent hundreds of crores on the movie without worrying about returns."

A correspondent
Agartala, April 9: The first BJP-led coalition government in Tripura headed by Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb has completed its one month in power on Monday.
Although no official programme was organized, yet the BJP supporters in different places assembled and prayed for the success of the government.
The BJP-IPFT coalition government was formed on March 9, when the nine-members of the State cabinet were administered the oath of office and secrecy by Governor Tathagata Roy in a grand function at the Assam Rifles ground.
During the first one month, the government has taken many crucial decisions, including the formation of a three-member committee to recommend ways and means for the implementation of the 7th Central Pay Commission for the State government employees, which was one of the major pre-pool commitments of the BJP.
Besides, the government also decided to hand over the investigation into the killings of two jourlists Santanu Bhoumik and Sudip Datta Bhoumik. It also ordered investigations on several corruption cases that took place during the Left regime, including a special audit of the expenditure of the MGNREGA project.
"The BJP government has made remarkable achievements in maintaining law and order in the State," a BJP spokesman said.
Jitendra Choudhury, a CPI (M) MP from the East Tripura Lok Sabha constituency, stated that a one-month time is too short a period to comment on the performances of a government.
"The newly formed government must be given at least a six-month time period to prove its governce," he added.
However, a former MLA and senior Congress leader Gopal Roy on Monday criticized the BJP-led government, saying that within this one month the government has proved its ibility to run the State.
The new government has, however, evoked a craze among the people of the State and it is evident from a huge turnout of people in Ja Darbars, which the Chief Minister Biplab Deb holds thrice a week to know the grievances of the people.

My mum (still at the relatively early stage of AD) is in hospital with a really nasty haematoma on her lower leg. The skin has broken down, it is still bleeding but can't be surgically debrided because she has to continue her anticoagulant medication. Maggot therapy has been suggested, indeed could well be in progress by now. I've looked up info on the internet which is all very interesting, but I'm wondering if anyone on TP has experience of how it works and what comes afterwards?

Due to the relative youth of the technology, many organizations have adopted a variety of different cloud services that they may not fully understand the difference between, and it may be time for better regulatory controls and a more thorough understanding of what specific option means to businesses and consumers. A better understanding of what clients are getting from different cloud vendors when they pay for services is needed. Due to the sheer amount of different types of needs, the options should be for different types of specific offers given by businesses. The offers themselves should be controlled to the point that pesky working or technicalities can't stand between customers and the product .
The advantages of cloud computing are numerous, but cloud migrations are sometimes encumbered by the perceived complexity of adopting a virtual platform However, using a cloud host is very simple once an enterprise knows what features it requires in its cloud. From there, finding a vendor is not a challenge.. Hopefully, the new regulation will serve less as a limitation for companies that want to offer better, new and competitive products and more as a call to the rest of the business community that cloud hosting is workable and easy to use. CloudTweak's article on standardizing the cloud outlines some of the ways standardization could affect cloud vendors.
Sorting through the cloud
Dealing with cloud data is fairly easy once some guidelines have been set. ZDNet's article on how to use cloud vaults is timely and informative, and a lot of their advice is aimed at small and medium-sized businesses. Sample hints include being sure to set an "expiration date" on data. This is not a marker of when anything should be permanently deleted, but when it should to be sent to an archival disk so that more commonly-used memory is only made to host current, relevant data. This allows for an ease-of-use factor in find[ing?] the most commonly used files while also helping the company to speed up its connection to the cloud server. Even making physical backups for data that is old but cannot be deleted due to legal reasons may be a good fallback for organizations that find themselves holding on to a lot of data.
As far as nonessential, old data goes, Bryan Stibbard, vice president of CommVault, says to get rid of it.
"The cost of keeping data could often outweigh what the data is worth," he said.
Stibbard says that the best way to keep data organized is to use the phrase, "Right data, right tier of storage, right recovery."
Finding the right data for each type of storage makes it very easy to ensure that, in the case of any major need to recover information, the data will be accessible. The advantage of cloud computing is that this kind of logistical organization is made much easier, but organization still needs to be done. One of the best ways to make sure that this is taken care of with a critical eye is to task the IT department with making sure that files are properly allocated to the various drives. This will help to reduce inefficiencies in the network structure and allow the power of the cloud to shine more brightly for a given business. As with all technology, its true value will wind up being showcased when it is used by those who are experienced and capable with systems, so that it can be effectively implemented. By fusing the cloud with a strong filing system,s the potential for efficient allocation of information is near to limitless for not just individuals, but the entire company.

Metallists who want to visit Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria
Sofia besides being the best city in civil Europe (almost the best it has been so far) is a real place to spend it with tough, good metal. We followed the last column of Ginger Amorphis earthworks and disappeared to insight.
Adams Rock Bar
super super cool place to just drink (no food at all) of an aging metalist and really nice !!! A local pub apart from us. The entire pub is a club for tables and metal football enthusiasts. Beers at the very low price, nice people and lots of black metal for infusion and what's in between.
Rock 'n' Roll Bar and Club
If you've moved to a casino and have more money to spend you can always go to Rock and Roll. A favorite tourist pub for people who don't hear any harder metal of its kind than Rock Rock and below. A shelter for a relatively high price of 2$ per beer (this is an exaggerated price in Sofia) but we fell 1 + 1 beers in the evening so we were fine.
To the metal collectors
if you came to the Central Cathedral on Alexander Nevsky Street. Continue towards the clothing store down the street (no entrance to the pedestrian street near the cathedral found anything but the old and tourist shortcuts)
It's a cool little store that sells mostly musical equipment, but they have a pretty good selection of records, discs, and shirts at reasonable prices
Example: Murdoch records we found at $ 10-20 per record, $ 2-10 discs, the long shirt of hypocrisy – $ 15.
Beside that
- For the Blakers we built, take a bus from Central Station and head to Rilla Monastery. Leave the monastery itself to go behind the mattress in the direction of the creek president and discover a very old Gothic cemetery and walk in the woods (you have 3 hours to burn !!)
- Don't forget to catch up on the MIXTAPE 5 and Arena performances.

Petition to British Airways to get them to stop profiting from promoting trips to SeaWorld
A petition calling on British Airways to stop selling trips to see captive whales and dolphins at SeaWorld has attracted more than 94,500 signatures. It is calling on BA to end their links with attractions that include captive marine mammals. The increasing number of signatures on the petition comes as 2 new beluga whales are delivered to SeaWorld San Diego. The animals' natural habitat is in arctic and sub-arctic waters, swimming huge distances each year. A lifetime in a concrete tank awaits them at SeaWorld, and "training." Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC), a charity that works to protect cetaceans, is backing the petition as part of a wider campaign to stop tour operators, including BA, Virgin Holidays and Thomas Cook, from offering trips to see captive whales and dolphins. BA responded to the petition on change.org, attempting to wash its hand of responsibility, by saying that it was up to consumers whether or not they opted to book trips to SeaWorld. BA is currently selling 3-day passes to SeaWorld Orlando. WDC said for BA to somehow claim that by selling these trips it is not part of the problem is bizarre.
The change.org petition – to British Airways – is at
Stop selling trips to SeaWorld. End your support for these cruel orca circuses.
Anti SeaWorld petition gathers momentum
A petition calling on British Airways to stop selling trips to see captive whales and dolphins at SeaWorld has attracted more than 85,000 signatures [94,500 on 10th June]
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/travelnews/10881176/Anti-SeaWorld-petition-gathers-momentum.html .
British Airways website promoting its holidays with Seaworld trips http://www.britishairways.com/en-gb/destinations/orlando/seaworld-orlando
10 JUNE 2014 (Whale and Dolphin Conservation blog)
WDC welcomed the invitation to participate in Virgin's recent meeting held in Miami, Florida on June 3-4 of last week, the purpose of which was to provide high quality stakeholder input to a landmark debate on the issue of keeping whales and dolphins in captivity.
Pro and anti-captivity representatives were present. Virgin's destinations supply chains (e.g., 'swim with dolphin' programs and aquaria) were represented, as well as experts from welfare and conservation organizations actively engaged in the issue of captivity.
In late February, WDC (Whale and Dolphin Conservation) launched its campaign asking tour operators (including Virgin Holidays) not to sell trips to places like SeaWorld.
A few days later, Sir Richard Branson made a simple announcement that Virgin Holidays will not partner with any organization that does not pledge to never again take whales and dolphins from the sea.
Shortly after that, Virgin announced that it was to begin an engagement process (starting with the meeting in Miami) to gather a broad spectrum of information and opinion regarding the debate on captive whales and dolphins and the role of tourism in the global protection of these magnificent, intelligent and socially complex creatures.
This process is a positive move towards WDC's aim of eventually ending tourism that supports the confinement and cruel trade in whales and dolphins.
Fundamental to real, incremental and positive change towards a brighter future for whales and dolphins in captivity is Sir Richard's pledge. Although the pledge seems fairly straightforward and simple, it is anything but.
The difficult part is defining what exactly this pledge means, and how it should be implemented. This is where the hard work began, and continues, in our dialogue with Virgin Holidays.
Explicitly stated as part of this pledge is Sir Richard's belief that no dolphins or whales should ever again be killed by humans, or taken from the ocean for marine theme parks.
On its own, the pledge could be applied to all of the pressing issues confronting whales and dolphins in the wild, and the threats posed to their health and welfare. However, as the pledge's focus is on captivity and the role of tourism in influencing the global protection of the oceans, we hope that we can make clear for Virgin the critical connections between tourism and the international capture and trade in dolphins for marine parks, and the demand created by all captive facilities – whether supplied by whales and dolphins bred in captivity or those taken from the wild.
This engagement process is historic. It is the first time that whale and dolphin welfare experts, the tourism industry and the aquarium industry, including SeaWorld, have literally come to the same table to discuss these important issues.
We may not all agree, but it is a place to start in finding some common ground towards real, progressive change for whales and dolphins in the wild and in captivity. Change can take many forms, and we are committed to this process of addressing captivity, step by step. It is going to be a long process – incremental steps will be required, but we are in it for the long term and proud to be involved from the start.
I am confident that we can all do better for whales and dolphins in captivity, not least with the leadership of Richard Branson and the Virgin brand.
We offer similar arrangements in regard to theme parks and other places of interest at many destinations on our global network. Whether members of the public choose to make use of these arrangements is entirely up to them.
We note the concerns you have raised in relations to animal welfare. We feel sure you will be aware that regulation of animal welfare at SeaWorld is a matter for the relevant federal and state authorities in the US.
We have no reason not to have confidence in the expertise of these authorities in what is a highly specialised field far removed from the world of aviation."
Sign the pledge if you feel BA should stop promoting tourism that makes them profit, from the suffering and poor treatment of sea mammals.
Stop selling trips to SeaWorld. End your support for these cruel orca circuses.

Richard Branson criticised for selling SeaWorld trips
Conservationists have told Virgin boss Sir Richard Branson "don't be a d***" and stop selling trips to see whales and dolphins held captive in theme parks

Blackfish, SeaWorld and the backlash against killer whale theme park shows
- The Guardian,
- More about why killer whales should not be held in what amount to intolerable confinement, for years. And the film called "Blackfish" about the case of one, Tilikum, who killed three trainers.
- http://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/dec/11/blackfish-seaworld-backlash-killer-whales
- "…it is still difficult to avoid the conclusion of most experts and many trainers: orcas are profoundly ill-suited to life in a tank. "Of all the places to keep killer whales in captivity," says Jett, "SeaWorld is the best – that's a pretty sad statement. Some animals can adapt to life in a captive environment, but killer whales are clearly not one of them. We can't come close to duplicating their life in the wild."
- "For all the outrage over Blackfish, it is business as usual at SeaWorld. After some aggressive ticket discounting, its profits in the third quarter of 2013 soared to $120m. "

well this day has been just awful. i havent missed having a friend somewhere near in ages. i was wondering today if i had actually made my own bed when it comes to friends, then i remind myself that i have done that once in the past and this definitely isnt that. i dont regret removing a 'friend' or two from my life, especially when they steal from you, and i dont regret those who chose to leave me as a friend after i asked them for help, i especially dont regret them going after the way they decided they would, threats and telling me i should die are not nice things to say to someone who is supposed to be a best friend. oh well.
anyway, today ive been lonely, ive been bored, ive wanted to do something but have had no one to anything with, twiddling my thumbs after my walk early this morning was the most exciting thing i did today. when i have motivation and have no way at all to utilise it is horrible. i know this whole volunteering thing will have some sort of positive impact on my life, but i dont know how much, and there is even a chance it might be a negative impact it has. last time i volunteered it didnt give me friends it just gave me people i saw sometimes while i worked, just like any job ive had really. no, this volunteering wont change my life, it wont make my problems go away and wont give me everything i need, i just really hopes it doesnt go tits up and i manage to get something out of it.
today i asked a family member who has been helping me to stop helping more. its nice that this person wants to help more but they are doing the work of two people right now to make me feel better and i dont want it to become actual work for them, i dont want it to be hard on them, and to be honest i wouldnt mind if someone else did something. it frustrates me that people around me are just doing fuck all and someone who lives many miles away is really going out of their way to do a lot! i know, i dont want it to be like work for anyone else either, its just horrible that no one wants to do anything with me, its horrible that i feel like i am no part of anyones life. ive said it before and ill say it again, i know people have their lives to get on with but i wish i was actually a part of their lives and that they could get on with their life with me in it. i am surrounded by family where i live but none of them pay an interest in me, they get on with their lives without me and they are happy. i am alone, on my own, while at the same time being surrounded by family members, the majority of whom live less than 10 miles away. this is why i feel unimportant, this is why i feel unwanted, and after all my friends decide to dump me, i feel awful.
in conclusion, i know im alone, i know im not important enough for people to pay any sort of interest in me, and i know i dont matter and im unwanted, give me an argument against it, ill have a plain and simple obvious answer. oh and for gods sake, dont just tell me the opposite and do sweet FA about it because im never going to believe you. i always try my hardest for the people around me, there has to be a damn good reason why i wouldnt and unless you steal from me or tell me i need to die im going to try my hardest to be the best person i can be for you.

Sunflowers in a Hurricane by Anne Faye
Read Chapter One and Chapter Two.
Chapter Three
don't understand why we have to leave today. You know the party is tonight." Kim and I had been planning it for a month. She was counting on me. We were celebrating finishing 7th grade. It was going to be our first boy-girl party ever. Not to mention, by some miracle, a few of the popular kids were supposed to be going. Plus, Kim had said that Angie told her that Pete said that Ron, who was the cutest boy in school, might make an appearance. And I was going to miss it. This sucked big time.
"I know and I'm sorry. But we've been over this. We need to get to Massachusetts. There are arrangements that need to be made." My mother did not seem sorry. In fact, I was convinced that she was taking some weird joy in ruining my life.
"Can't they be made a day later?" I shoved my suitcase and backpack into the back of our beat up two-tone brown station wagon. I doubted the heap would even make it.
"Do you honestly think that I scheduled your grandmother's death?"
"No, but it's not like you two were close," I pointed out. "I met her twice in my whole life, and one of those I don't even remember." I felt bad that she was dead, but it wasn't like she wouldn't still be dead a day later.
My mother slammed the hatchback shut. It was piled up with garbage bags filled with our belongings and wouldn't close. She opened the door, pushed the bags in, and slammed it with even more force. I was surprised the car didn't break.
"It's so stupid that we have to take all our stuff. We're going to come back." Ohio was my home. My whole life was here.
"Yeah, but we're going to be there for a while, and I can't afford to pay for an apartment we aren't living in."
"We need to come back soon." The sooner the better.
"This is no picnic for me either."
My mom got in the driver's seat and I slumped into shotgun. We pulled out of the driveway, a Carly Simon song playing on the radio. Where was Bon Jovi when you needed them? This was going to be the worst trip ever. As we headed down the road, I kissed my entire summer goodbye.

I think this may be a bit of a controversial post however I think it's one that needs to be addressed.
I'm sure some of you have seen/heard that there is a petition going around at the moment to make Eid and Diwali a public holiday. I'm sure some of you are thinking YES! Another public holiday! but is that enough reason to have two more public holidays??
Let's just start with defining what a public holiday is; countries observing holidays based on events of significance to their history or can be a religious celebration.
As a Hindu, Diwali is important to me, it signifies the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and the opportunity to spend time with family. But, do I think Diwali should be made a public holiday? No. I live in the UK, dominated by the Christian religion, our public holidays are significant to Christians and to the history of our country. Making Diwali and Eid a public means another two days of not trading, and with the state our economy has been in recent years, can we really afford to add two more public holidays to the equation? Not only that, what about people of other religions such as Buddhism who celebrate Vesak, celebrating Buddha's birth, enlightenment and death? Should that not be made a public holiday?
Allowing two faiths to declare their religious festival a public holiday in the UK can be deemed unfair to the other religions present in the UK.
However, I do feel that companies should allow their staff paid holiday to celebrate significant religious events, such as Eid and Diwali. Living in a country as diverse as the UK I respect all faiths and cultures, but we should also respect the origin of the country we live in, it's history and religion.
This is just my opinion and does not mean I'm right, but I don't believe that these religious festivals should be made a public holiday. If we start imposing changes because of religious beliefs, where do we stop?
I'd love to hear all your thoughts, so comment below!

Re: new version itunes 9.0
In your case, and mine, it's too late
We must wait for YAiPOD's next version. Other than the message you described, other messages (related to the DB) prevent us from using this application.
I was thinking of reverting to an older version of iTUNES, but I'm afraid of what may happen to my music library.
Warning to others: avoid iTUNES 9 if you wish to continue using YAiPOD.

Re: new version itunes 9.0
got an iPod nano 5G which only works with itunes9 (as I read at apple.com)
They changed the song database into a sqlite database which is incompatible to the old version.
So switching to itunes 8 will probably not fix my problem
What is your experience how long it will take to get support for nano5G ?

Re: new version itunes 9.0

Re: new version itunes 9.0
I had a same problem with yamipod, but luckily I found the solution. Just downgrade your iTunes (http://www.iphonefaq.org/archives/97664) and download an old version (f.e. 8.x.x) and it'll be ok. The key is to unistall every apple application and delete files: iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Music Library.xml, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb (You should rather copy them) and install the old one. Read the instructions and that's all. Cheerz.

Re: new version itunes 9.0
Are you sure? Even if your ipod is "contaminated" by a newer version of itunes? I got the error message after wiping everything apple and reinstalling itunes 8.0. I'm afraid to go ahead with it for fear of losing what's on my ipod. Did you go through this process and get the error message and then go ahead with using the program without consequence?

Re: new version itunes 9.0
Hi everyone,
I downloaded yamipod today thinking it would work with the latest version of iTunes (based on what I've read on the web) and have gotten the same message!
Q1. where do you report this?
Q2. anyone have any news on usability with iTunes 9.0+? or any other suggestions?
For some god forsaken reason my "library" has disappeared and I have to get everything back into iTunes / laptop from my iPod ... I'm travelling and I wont have access to my backups for 6 months!!! All help and suggestions appreciated!!!
Thanks to all.

Belgium don't have the best track record at Eurovision. They have come last eight times, failed to qualify from the semi finals a further eight times and have received nul points on two occasions (1962 and 1965). Their best result was their only win which was for Sandra Kim in 1986 with her song 'J'aime La Vie'. Last year saw a change in fortune for Belgium when they chose Loic Nottet as their entry. The 'Rhythm Inside' singer gave them their best result in 12 years with a top five finish and the most points that a Belgian entry has ever scored (217). In 2016, they will want to emulate this success, so let's take a look at their national selection process and the acts who hope to follow in his footsteps.

1. Woman tried to poison the baby her husband father with another woman using nail polish remover.
Prosecutors say Carol Stream woman tried to poison toddler her husband fathered with another woman https://t.co/QO8p0diZ5m pic.twitter.com/l0be9IfchP
— Chicago Tribune (@chicagotribune) May 4, 2017
On May 29, 2016, 37-year-old Andrea Vazquez-Hernandez allegedly mixed nail polish remover with milk, and handed it to the toddler her husband had fathered with another woman.
When the 17-month-old refused to drink the mixture, the baby's father discovered his wife's sickening plan and reported her to authorities.
The man told police that earlier that night, he had tried to feed his daughter the bottle when she "immediately spat out the contents". The girl was taken to the hospital and was treated and released with no injuries.
According to court documents, prosecutors say that "at some point in time earlier that day, the victim's stepmother allegedly added approximately one inch of nail polish remover to the baby bottle".
Andrea and her husband, from Illinois in the United States, had welcomed a child of their own in 2010, but when they separated for a period of two years, he fathered another child with a different woman. The baby girl was born in December 2014.
Prosecutors allege that for Andrea, the toddler served as "a constant reminder of a forbidden relationship".
According to the Chicago Tribune, Andrea had also told police she wanted to "punish" her husband and the little girl's mother.
The 37-year-old is accused of aggravated battery and attempted aggravated battery in connection with the incident. She has plead not guilty and remains in police custody until her trial, which is expected to start next week.

The Trump administration says that defeating America's opioid epidemic is one of their top priorities. And while that is admirable, they're doing so with one hand tied behind their back by refusing to acknowledge that marijuana could be an alternative to the deadly drugs. And now more studies are showing just how wrong they are about cannabis.
Two new studies from two different states found that patients who use medical marijuana are far more likely to stop using opioids than those who do not. In a New Mexico study of 37 patients found that 80 percent of patients decreased their opioid use after using marijuana, and 40 percent stopped using the deadlier drugs altogether. And an Illinois study of 400 patients in the state found that 67 percent of them stopped using opioids after beginning to use medical marijuana.
These studies are hardly news though. Research and data already shows that states with medical marijuana have less opioid abuse. And others show that opioid overdose deaths decreased significantly in states with legalized recreational marijuana. So these studies from New Mexico and Illinois aren't groundbreaking claims, but rather confirmation of something that we already know.
And yet the Trump administration continues to push the idea that marijuana is not a viable alternative to opioids, and even claim that cannabis could actually be making the crisis worse! President Trump's anti-opioid commission released a letter in October claiming there wasn't enough data to support using marijuana as a substitute. And when Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the administration's plans to fight the epidemic, he didn't mention using marijuana at all.
But every study that comes out, and it seems like there's at least one coming out each week, says that marijuana is not only a possible alternative, but that it's already being used as one in states with legalized medicinal marijuana. So what is it actually going to take before the Trump administration finally relents and acknowledges this fact? Or is it an impossible fight as long as noted anti-marijuana crusaders such as Sessions and Chris Christie remain in charge of fighting this crisis?
