How Does CBD Work in the Body?
The short version is the body interacts with CBD by way of the endocannabinoid system (ECS), a system that produces endocannabinoids and regulates several essential bodily processes through its receptors.
So what does CBD do? When CBD is taken, it interacts with the two most important ECS receptors, known as CB1 and CB2. CB1 receptors are primarily found in the brain and regulate things like mood, tiredness, appetite and pain. Conversely, CB2 receptors are found throughout the rest of the body and influence skin health and inflammation. And while CBD doesn't directly bind to either type of receptor, it works by boosting the effects of the endocannabinoids that the body naturally produces.
Does CBD Get You High?
A common misconception is that CBD has psychoactive properties. Although CBD is derived from hemp, which is part of the cannabis family, products such as CBD oil, edibles, and topicals only contain 0.3% THC, meaning you won't get high.
In terms of chemical makeup, THC and CBD are exactly the same. However, the chemical arrangement of each differs by a single atom. And while that may not sound significant, the variance actually causes THC to be able to directly bind to CB1 receptors within the ECS, causing the euphoric high feeling. Alternatively, CBD's weak bond to CB1 receptors does not cause a CBD high and has even been shown to reverse or limit THC's ability to form bonds with CB1 receptors.
Are There Other Effects from CBD?
There are a variety of potential benefits from taking CBD that span several categories of ailments and symptoms. Here are some of the top effects:
- Calming Agent: Utilizing CBD for anxiety is one of the top overall reasons for use. While not completely studied, it's believed that a number of terpenes (a component found in CBD) possess anti-anxiety and anti-stress properties.
- Sleep Aid: Using CBD for sleep is picking up steam, and it's primarily due to its calming properties. The mild adherence of CBD to CB1 receptors can inhibit some feelings associated with OCD and control serotonin release.
- Pain Relief: Another of the top CBD uses is for pain relief. CBD can be effective with pain due to amplifying natural hormones in the ECS—in this case, anandamide, which helps regulate pain and mood. While some bodies are prone to prematurely break down this hormone, CBD slows down the breakdown process and ultimately can offer relief from pain.
So How Does CBD Make You Feel?
We sat down for a quick Q&A with Vicki Asher and Camila Nakagawa, two of our Frontier Jackson Brand Ambassadors, to talk about their personal experiences with CBD and how it makes them feel.

How do you use CBD?
I take it for anxiety, being overstressed, and to go to sleep. During the day, I take it as needed, but I take it daily before bed.
Are you more relaxed, less stressed, or better focused?
CBD is definitely calming. You just feel calmer when you take it. Suddenly everything is not as intense. CBD makes stress and anxiety less intense so you can focus more since your brain isn't busy worrying about unnecessary stuff.
Does CBD make you feel tired?
No, it doesn't make you feel sleepy or drowsy. I don't wake up groggy or hungover. What's awesome about CBD is that there are calming effects without feeling high or drowsy. You wake up feeling like you didn't take anything. I used to use things like melatonin, but stopped because it messes with natural sleep patterns, and I felt groggy the next day.
How much CBD do you take in mgs?
I just use a full dropper (16.6mg of CBD).
What has your experience with Frontier Jackson been like so far?
I had taken CBD before, and it didn't really work. Frontier Jackson's products are really effective for me. In particular, I love the mixed-berry tincture. The gummies are great as well, but the tincture definitely kicks in faster because it's under your tongue.
Camila Nakagawa

What have you been using CBD for?
For everything—a lot of outdoor stuff. I use it mostly for hikes or trails and outdoors. I always take it when I get to the top. I'm also taking it before sleeping and trying to go to bed, or anytime I'm feeling kind of agitated or stressed.
Does CBD help with pain or soreness?
It's kind of amazing. It's not easy to explain a specific thing. If I do a hike and take CBD, I don't feel nearly as sore, especially the next day. It seems to alleviate the usual pain in my feet. It's pretty insane! I had a couple of falls, took CBD, and used the CBD ice, and that really helped with the pain. The day after, it was almost like it didn't happen. You don't really feel anything. I just feel the results.
Does CBD help with stress?
I just feel less stressed. Like I said, it's not a sudden thing. I don't really feel anything.
How long does it take CBD to take effect?
Within 30 minutes to an hour.
Does CBD make you sleepy or drowsy?
It doesn't make me drowsy. For me, it's like this: I usually have to force myself to go to bed. When I take CBD, I can just allow my body to rest. CBD doesn't make me sleepy or groggy. It just allows me to feel ready to rest and fall asleep. It takes the stress and anxiety out so I just relax.
There aren't even the slightest effects the next morning. And honestly since I've taken CBD, I've not had to take Advil or anything for pain. I take CBD for pain. If I'm sore from a big hike—like the seven or eight hour hike I did the other day—I expect to feel dead, but I'm completely okay.
Any intoxicating effects?
No, it definitely does not make me high at all. I really just feel relaxed. Whatever I feel, I'm able to feel better. If I'm in the middle of focusing, it helps me focus. CBD doesn't make me sleepy—I function perfectly fine. If I'm trying to sleep, it helps me relax and fall asleep. And I haven't noticed any side effects. Also, my mom is hooked. She has arthritis, and it's been helping her a lot with her arthritis. When she's on her feet, it's helping her pain.

Heating, ventilation and ac (HVAC) technicians are skilled tradespersons that install heating and air conditioning systems. Additionally, they maintain and repair the system when problems arise. This can be in a residential setting or for commercial facilities. Those who work for a retailer are often responsible for selling service contracts to clients.
Types of Certification
Becoming HVAC certified will be based on the type of certification that you desire and the training that you have achieved. Since many individuals work in the field under a licensed HVAC person, they may have some experience before taking tutorials. Those who have over a year of experience in installation and at least 2 years in maintenance will have a wider choice when referring to the type of HVAC certification they choose.
In order to become certified, the proper classes must be taken. Before doing so, a college diploma or GED is required. This is required for admittance to many accredited HVAC training networks. These programs offer classes in the installation and repair of HVAC as well as reading blueprints, temperature control, construction and equipment design. The programs are available at various schools and colleges as well manner in which.
The programs are generally from six months to two years and depending on the length of the course, upon successful completion, a student will receive a certificate or an associate's amount. There are also opportunities available for people that join the Armed Forces to receive specialized learning in the HVAC field.
After completing the training program successfully, earning a certification built degree, sitting for the HVAC licensing exam will be needed by most states function with in this battleground. The licensing exam will differ somewhat from one spot to another. The main consideration is the feeling of all the aspects of system installation and repair of HVAC systems. In addition, some licensing exams require applicant to know electrical codes.
If the career chosen will include working with refrigerants, a separate certification is needed for this field. This includes high and low-pressure refrigerants and servicing small appliances. When this career is chosen at an early age, usually while in high school, could be beneficial to take classes that can assist in preparing details for the classes they will take next. The basic recommendations are mathematics, physics, electronics and mechanical drawing.
There are additional licenses needed in case the HVAC career includes contractor services. This might be a career is actually not chosen after learning the other aspects of HVAC. The qualifications to apply for a license as an HVAC contractor include being at least 18 years of age, speaking and reading the English language and four years of verifiable experience within warm heating.
If the applicant meets these qualifications, they must take an ICC test. The International Code Council (ICC) develops these exams and they are in charge of giving them for many states. They are given at approved testing sites across the united states and are deparately needed for anyone that represents themselves in in whatever way as an HVAC contractor.

Pupils will get a healthy and tasty start to their day after joining the National School Breakfast Programme.
Since Monday 7 January, all 670 pupils at the Dick Lane school have been tucking into a free healthy breakfast packed with the right energy and nutrients to set them up for their school day. Research has shown that having a nutritious breakfast can increase alertness, improve behaviour and give children greater motivation to learn.
Through the National School Breakfast Programme, which supports schools in disadvantaged communities to improve access to healthy breakfasts and learning, We will receive free breakfast foods for its pupils and a grant of £500 to cover start-up costs. The programme is being run by national charities Family Action and Magic Breakfast, with funding from the Department for Education. The charities will work with the school to help it develop new and effective ways of improving breakfast provision and maximise the number of children reached. As well as copious boxes of cereal, the schoolchildren are expected to eat their way through a thousand bagels each week.
Principal Clare Daddy said:
"We are really pleased to have been chosen to be part of the National School Breakfast Programme. This is a great opportunity to help give our children not only a nutritious breakfast but also benefit from the proven impact it will have on their educational attainment outcomes, learning, behaviour and health that come with a having a good start to the day."
David Holmes CBE, Chief Executive of Family Action, said:
"Breakfast provision plays a key role in ensuring children have a healthy start to their day. Family Action is delighted to be working with the Department for Education and Magic Breakfast on this ground-breaking programme – changing lives and life chances by preventing thousands of children from being too hungry to learn."
Carmel McConnell MBE, Founder of Magic Breakfast, said:
"Crucially, it will ensure a nutritious breakfast reaches many more thousands of hungry schoolchildren, unlocking up to four hours of learning each morning to support their education. This is an excellent investment in these children and in the future of this country."
At least half a million children in the UK arrive at school each day too hungry to learn. Research has shown a direct link between the breakfast habits of children and their educational attainment, with children in primary schools where breakfast is provided achieving on average up to two months' additional academic progress over the course of a year.

If you are like me, you are trying to finish up a few last minute things that need to be done for Christmas.
My son had outpatient surgery on Wednesday, so that means I get to stay home with him and clean my house and start preparing food for our 4-7 guests on Sunday. Since Christmas is on a Sunday, we invited some of our church members who do not have any family members here to join them for Christmas to our house for Christmas dinner after our Christmas service. It will feel like a totally different Christmas to us as it is our first Christmas not with extended family, but I'm trying to make the foods my mom always made for us at Christmas time. We'll also go share some dessert with some friends in the evening. If we stay busy with friends celebrating our Lord's birth, we won't have time to be too sad missing family that is far away. I pray that you have a wonderful Christmas! Thank you also for reading these posts and linking up here at this party!
Thoughtful Thursdays is one of my favorite posts as it keeps me grounded and thinking on what is truly important.
This week, I am going back to see which posts really touched or influenced others in my more "thoughtful" posts over the years.
- Here is a post I did back in 2013. They were practically my first printables, but this post is still my most viewed post that has verses.
- This post on worry did well because of a pin on Pinterest that did well. It was not my pin that took off, but someone else's that had re-pinned my pin. A few people disagreed in the comments with the text on the photo — without reading the post probably — and it helped me get more views!
- This Christmas prophecy printable post also has done well the past 3 years.
- This post on anger also does well due to a pin on Pinterest.
Keep writing on what is truly important!
Here are four Christmas posts from last week's party that I really enjoyed:
- No Room in the Inn from A New Lens
- Christmas Bible Verses Color Coded – Free Printable from Heidi Naturally
- Long Walk Part of the Gift from Laura Acuna
- Four Reasons Why Jesus Did NOT Come from Creative K Kids
Here are the rules for this linky:
The thoughtful topics for your posts could be related to but not limited to the following topics:
* homemaking * homeschooling * devotional or Biblical posts * Christian in nature * family/marriage * inspirational *
- Do NOT link up recipes, reviews, giveaways, diy, or crafts.
- Link up to three posts that have not been linked up to this linky previously!
- We would love it if you visited a couple other posts and left a comment or shared/pinned the post!
- If you include your e-mail in the linky form below you will be added to a weekly reminder e-mail when the link party goes live. Your e-mail will not to added to any other lists or given out.
- If you wish, please follow Creative K Kids by subscribing to our newsletter or following us on social media.
If you link up, we would love if you put this button somewhere on your blog (sidebar, post, or party page) or provide a text link so that others can also find these great posts.

Here are 10 awesome tips to start attracting the links you want to your site.
We take the approach of finding relevant websites and creating a relationship where they promote your website by adding a backlink from them to you.
1. Publish Amazing Content
It's possible to use your own content – or that of others. You can even use content that we write for you completely hands off. You can ask people to craft a version of their existing content for you into new kinds of content for your website with some small changes. Normally, these are called curated pieces and they can be transformed into things like popular stories this week or the best blogs this year.
Although you won't be attracting a lot of editorial links with curated content, they will add value and enhance visibility to your website. Each time an internal link is made in one of your pages, there's a probability that a user can be driven to that page.
Besides that, you're also telling Google that your content is important by linking to it. It informs search engines that it's an authoritative page and this can improve organic search results. Failing to practice internal link building is like telling them otherwise.
You may also choose to curate articles that were published on other sites. Not only does this add link value, it also helps create relationships with others. People love having their hard work highlighted – especially if you're complimenting them for it.
These same individuals may even be the ones who can help you later on in promoting your content. There's also a possibility that they may do it on their own networks, which can lead to more people finding your articles.
2. Getting Backlinks via Infographics
A popular approach to bring in traffic to your website and acquire valuable links is by publishing infographics. What makes them ideal is because of how easy they are to consume and share with others. Visual data is truly something that everyone can relate to and that is why the demand to have infographics have grown considerably.
When creating your own, you need to choose carefully as each one needs to have an interesting yet unique story for your readership. A tip in making your selection is to follow topics that are currently trending and see what readers are searching for. You can then develop your infographic based on statistical data.
When your infographic is done, you will have to make it readily shareable with others. One way of doing this is through an embed code generator. Once that's accomplished and your infographic starts to get some shine, you will then have to distribute it to others. There are many directories where you can your infographics submitted like on Redditt and Visual.ly.
B3. Sharing Bold Opinions
You can get some quality links by boldly sharing your opinion via your content. This can be almost anything from valid concerns to arguments regarding commonly accepted wisdom. When you choose to publish this type of content, make sure you're backing your arguments with supporting evidence and data.
Although some controversy shouldn't hurt, it should never be done too much. You also shouldn't make your rants sound hateful or unfair that will reflect badly on your brand. It's possible to be critical when giving your outlook without having to resort to personal attacks.
4. Take Part with Feature Blogging
An effective way to reach new audiences is through guest blogging. When you publish your content on the sites of others, you're exposing your website to new readers. Backlinks aren't the only advantage with guest posting, you also improve your online reputation or social media followers in this manner.
Being the featured guest blogger on other websites is a great way to increase your exposure. Guest blogging is also very good for those wanting to maximise online relationships with others while promoting your own message. I will warn you that to get good results you will need to have a decent email outreach campaign getting you noticed by the website owners. If you have doubts regarding guest posting, consider the fact that Google allows guest writers to contribute to their Google Analytics blog every now and then.
5. Start Promoting Your Content
No matter how great the content you put out, you won't be getting the backlinks you deserve if you aren't promoting them right. You need to let the world know that you have them even if you have to do email outreach. Luckily there are many tools that can help with this.
One great technique is by contacting blog owners or websites that run regular monthly or weekly roundups. You may use Google to filter for queries like "your keyword + roundup." When the results show up, make sure you select those from the past week or month.
You can then contact the webmasters and introduce them to your site. In your message, add a link to a great guide or tutorial that you made. If they find this useful, they may give a link back to your website in their next roundup. These bloggers are always looking for new and unique content, so the chances of them using yours is high here.
Just like the other techniques, you don't want to ask your contacts for a link right away as this can come off as rude.
6. Provide Testimonials
Another quick method to earn good backlinks is to provide testimonials for sites that you frequent. You'll only have to spend a few minutes and you can get a link immediately from the homepage of an authoritative source. So long as you are a customer, they will most likely give you the opportunity to have a link in return for a positive testimonial.
7. Get In Touch with Important Bloggers and Journalists
Besides asking for guest post opportunities and testimonials, another way to spread the word about your site is by reaching out to influencers in your niche. Although it can be hard to find their email addresses, there are many tips to start doing so successfully.
- More than 90% of email addresses from websites are formatted in such a way: email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com. You can try directly sending your pitch to these emails if you like.
- If the tip above doesn't work, you can use tools like Thrust.io, Voilanorbert or Emailfinder.io. Just put in the name of the individual you wish to contact and the website they work for.
- As a final alternative, you can also send your pitch via social media directly to that person you wish to contact.
Make sure that the pitch you send to them is brief and straight to the point. No one likes reading long emails especially those that come from strangers.
8. Get Into Donating
Yes, you may earn backlinks when you donate to nonprofit organisations. The approach is quite direct. All you need is to find sites within your niche that accept donations and then let the donators get links back to their website. All you have to do is to contact them, give the amount you wish to donate and then provide your website's URL>
To find these websites via Google, you will need to input some queries to get good results. These can be:
Donation + contributors + keyword
Contributors page + donate + keyword
Contributors page + keyword
9. Develop Your Internal Links
Building internal links is a key factor to run a successful blog that will attract outside links. Internal link building brings in "link juice" and you may use anchor texts here. With a good structure in place, you can provide your readers with a better browsing and reading experience when they are at your website.
Although there are tools that can automate the process of creating internal links, you should do this one manually. Expert webmasters suggest keeping the number of internal links for each page below 100 for both SEO and usability.
10. Take Part in Interviews
The last tip to get backlinks is to have yourself interviewed as this is one of the trendiest things right now. When you turn into an authority in your niche, interview invitations become common. But until then, you may have to make the first step when starting out. What you can do for now is to search for sites that accept interviews and let them know that you're interested in participating and sharing knowledge.

SINGAPORE - (THE BUSINESS TIMES) Beppe De Vito is nothing if not ambitious. And fast. Even before the first painting could kiss the walls of the newly minted National Gallery, the prolific restaurateur had already opened his new flagship in the first week of October - a good month before all his F&B neighbours.
After closing Il Lido - the restaurant in Sentosa that made his name - he needs something big enough to make a splash beyond his stable of eateries that includes Osteria Art, Latteria Mozzarella Bar, and &Sons. He's gone for broke with Aura - an impressive two-level restaurant/bar/event space that caters to every dining need, with a lovely rooftop view as a bonus.
True to form, Mr De Vito - who is as free-spending with his restaurants' decor as a tai-tai with a standing order for Birkins at Hermes - has not scrimped on the frills at Aura.
Solid marble accents; an elaborate grey feature wall on one end; warm wood and vermillion upholstery in the main dining area - you can tell this guy doesn't shop at Ikea. It's opulent and arty with some over-the-top drama - all in keeping with Mr De Vito's Minimalism-is-for-Ninnies stylebook.
1 St Andrews Road
#05-03 and #06-02 National Gallery Singapore
Tel: 6866-1977
Open daily for lunch and dinner: 12pm to 2.30pm; 6.30pm to 10.30pm
While a sense of theatre is fitting in an iconic space such as the National Gallery, we're glad that Mr De Vito limits it to the decor and not to the dining experience. You expect him to price his food in line with his contractor's bill, but he doesn't.
Instead, he opts for a winning common-sense formula: he makes the place look so fancy that the well-heeled will feel perfectly at home here, yet the prices are attractive enough for the average working Joe to enjoy a special date night without breaking the bank. Add the S$18 salad buffet lunch at its casual Sky Lounge upstairs, and he's got all the demographics covered.
The food - like his other restaurants - is built on a foundation of gutsy Italian cooking with a broader modern European spin. But it's the pastas that are the star of the show, while the appetisers and mains are more of a mixed bag.
For starters, you're served a little snack of arancini - appetite-whetting crunchy cheesy fried risotto balls - followed by a generous basket of hot, coiled pesto bread rolls that look like cinnamon buns. Eat them before they get cold and a little stodgy.
Aura's raison d'etre must be to make sure you don't feel hungry for the next two days - portions are generous and it's hard to stop eating the pasta, especially our favourite spicy pasta taglioni generously slicked with a mellow tomato sauce with an unexpected chilli kick within. Pearls of caviar add luxury while tender poached scampi lies contentedly on top.
The small pasta tasting portion (there's a bigger S$38 a la carte version) is part of a four-course set dinner priced at S$80 (up from the opening S$68 promotional price) that lets you sample highlights from the main menu.
It kicks off with a comforting, thick cream of Jerusalem artichoke dressed up with drizzles of beetroot, fried chips and hazelnuts to make it more interesting.
It's followed by the pasta and a good-sized version of the beef sirloin tagliata with bone marrow salad (S$45 if a la carte). This protein-rich wonder is pure Paleo - slices of chewy medium-rare beef and oozing fat from whole bone marrow.
From the main menu, a limp grilled octopus (S$25) is saved by a soft-cooked egg coated in the lightest batter and deep-fried for that fail-safe mouth feel of crunch followed by smooth unctuousness. Corn niblets, corn mousse and a thin crispy corn wafer add fun, sweetness and texture.
Meanwhile, semi-cooked seared scallops (S$25) that try to dominate a pretty salad with edible flowers are no match for the fragrant smoked quail eggs with their runny yolks that are good enough on their own. Think ramen soya-marinated eggs miniaturised and put through a smoker.
Our other pasta - fat sheets of pappardelle (S$26) - can barely breathe under the weight of thick, rib-sticking braised oxtail ragu, leaving a luscious sheen on the slippery smooth noodles. It's a big portion too, with lots of shredded meat, so pace yourself.
Because we don't, we struggle with our main course of quail casserole (S$38) - a bed of chewy orzotto pasta interestingly infused with beetroot juice and enriched with mascarpone cheese that makes it rich and heavy-going. Pieces of juicy, seared quail sit on top - a little over-salted but tender.
Now we're never one to tell restaurants to give less food, but we're ready to call it quits by dessert time. if you still can't resist, the molten chocolate lava cake with passion fruit sorbet or the hefty chocolate and banana cake layered with banana mousse and chocolate ganache are suitably decadent.
Aura's appeal lies more in the aesthetics than the food which focuses on value-for-money and comforting flavour. Mr De Vito does not aim for any gastronomic highs but believes in accessible cuisine that can hold its own.
His neighbours are already opening but with a combination of gorgeous setting and who-doesn'tlike-Italian-food mainstream appeal, Aura's an exhibit well worth spending time to enjoy.

Exercise Therapy; Swimming
Aquatic therapy is quickly becoming a popular form of treatment in pediatric physical therapy. The unique properties of water allow children with disabilities to exercise and experience movement that they are often unable to experience on land. Despite the numerous benefits of aquatic therapy, few resources are available which visually demonstrate suggestions for the use of this form of treatment. A visual teaching aid would provide students and professionals in physical therapy with exposure to aquatic therapy treatment techniques with a pediatric population.
The purpose of this study will be to research and review the literature regarding aquatic therapy and create a video to provide a visual teaching aid to familiarize physical therapy students and professionals with pediatric aquatic therapy and provide techniques and exercises that can be utilized to treat children with disabilities. Techniques and exercises will be demonstrated with children who have disabilities and with children who do not have disabilities. All sessions with the children will take place in Grand Forks, North Dakota, under the direction of a physical therapist from the Child Evaluation and Treatment Program (CETP) or a University of North Dakota physical therapy faculty member. A dialog of instructions, benefits, precautions, progressions, and variations will accompany each technique and/or exercise. By actually observing the treatment on a pediatric patient in the therapeutic pool, the students and professionals will be able to understand and apply the knowledge and techniques in their own therapeutic programs.

The WMR story
We are Cindy Scheer and Tina Shattuck, the developers of the Working mothers in Transition (WiT) Kit and travel agents for your expedition. We are both wives and mothers (with three children each) who were totally invested, successful and thriving in our traditional careers. Then we each stepped completely out of conventional 'work' and began working full-time for our families.
As our kids started school, we contemplated returning to the 'work' world. We realized that our value systems had changed—no longer were we satisfied just working for a paycheck or as Tina Turner sang, "working for the man every night and day." (Although, we agree, money is a good thing!) After spending years teaching our children about the importance of values and dreams, we realized we needed to incorporate our own values and dreams into our lives.
Because we were both prepared to reenter the world of work outside of our families, we needed a resource that honestly and deeply helped mothers discover their next steps. Unfortunately, we discovered no meaningful modern and sincere guide to help on this important journey of self-discovery.
Both of us strongly believe in the energy and savvy of collective groups and in the intrinsic wisdom of women. Based on this premise, we decided to develop a workshop program for mothers transitioning from parenting to the next working phase—one that would utilize the strength of a collective group of peers and provide a consistent and reliable system of wisdom, guidance and support. It would be nonbiased, nonjudgmental and honoring to the intelligence of the participants. Regardless of individual passions, goals or dreams, a confident, clear, connected foundation would be created.
the wit kit
The story of what is now the WiT Kit began in 2010…
Working Mothers Revolution (WMR) applied over 20 years of research and personal experience in the field of executive coaching, personal growth and human resources to develop a workshop unique to mothers. We then tested them on groupsmof mothers in various phases of motherhood and transition – from unhappily working moms, stay-at-homes moms wanting to work but have no idea what they wanted to do, empty nest moms and everything in between. These groups met on a consistent basis for an entire year – testing different processes and giving us feedback. We very quickly confirmed that clarity, connection, community and a BIG dose of courage were essential to discovery and growth. Clarity of direction, connection to the authentic self, strong community and practical steps towards a goal were key to finding courage and keeping women motivated, moving forward, and accountable. Really, the knowledge of support and acceptance lets mothers dig deep and get to the core of who they are and what they want next. After that, WMR spent another two years enlisting a small army of women to test the kit in different formats, over different time periods, with varying group sizes. We tried it all, and along the way, reinforced and incorporated many ideas that came to us through those groups. We owe many mothers a great deal of gratitude for their belief in what we are doing, and in us.
During that testing time and in the years since, Cindy and Tina have been fortunate enough to be able to work with a lot of different groups & bring our workshops in various formats to a variety of organizations from cooperative pre-schools, back-to-work programs & through community college educators.

But for many Egyptians, the situation has actually gotten worse.

Mac Folkes
Nele Ruckelshausen
Do Something
Gruppe text director Nele Ruckelshausen met art & fashion generalist Mac Folkes in his office near Tiergarten to have a casual chat about capitalism and mass media, the crisis of fashion, and his new book project FAMVLVS – A Poetics of Blackness. The photos for the interview were taken by Robert Hamacher.
Nele: What is happening in fashion right now, from your perspective? As someone who works on the periphery of that whole scene I can't help but feel that the industry is in a bit of a crisis.
Mac: It's in total crisis. The problem is that fashion got behind the digital revolution too soon too fast. High fashion used to be part of the avant-garde, but now it's become streamlined by mass media. The industry is playing catch-up with what's popular on social platforms, chasing influencers and trying to gain followers rather than creating their own worlds of art and beauty. Of course they're chasing those things because they are desperate to keep their jobs, and this is the game you need to play now. But it keeps them from developing a genuine artistic standpoint. Where do you see the problem in fashion today?
Well, I think the structure of the whole system right now, brands on top, magazines trying to uphold the illusion of fashion as something aloof and exclusive, and then all the people who do the actual work – the young, aspiring ones, those who have genuinely new ideas – is pretty imbalanced and detrimental to creativity. With the rapidity with which everything moves now, these young people are being chewed up before they can even get started. Plus, somehow it's become completely acceptable to pay us in 'prestige' rather than money. I found in modeling, you get the big bills for the shitty corporate giants, and you get next to nothing for the cool, forward-thinking designers – and it has little to do with their ability to pay. They just trust that their models are privileged enough to not actually have to care about the money.
Truth be told, I don't envy your position. I feel like I'm already on the other side of this, more of an observant. But I'm always shocked how everyone is so ready to sell their cool today, or vice versa, willing to buy it – it didn't use to be like that. And as fantastic and wonderful as the new world could and should be with all its new tools, the moment right now is too precarious for young people. And no one seems to know how to use the tools right. I remember one time, a young girl who works at Google was staying at my place in New York, and I was really interested to hear what it's like. But she said to me 'You know what? I'm totally cynical about the whole thing: We have some of the brightest people in the world there, and at the end of the day, they're just trying to come up with algorithms to sell you more stuff'. That was real food for thought.
I feel like this kind of cynicism is common among my generation. I think a lot of us are jealous at older generations for the reason that we don't really know who our enemy is. We don't know who to fight or what to to fight for. You can come to the realization that there is something super fucking wrong with the capitalist system we live in, but it feels like there's no way to work against it…
There's the paradox that you want to subvert the system, but you also feel forced to participate. And by participating, you are continuously perpetuating. A question I've been carrying around is, how come this generation seems to have such a hard time to create new, original spaces of expression for itself? And once again, I think it has to do with the acceleration of capitalism. I was here at the beginning of Techno, when the wall had just come down, when you were able to walk into buildings and just claim them. We were able to build a scene with little to no money. I don't want to say that's impossible today but it's certainly harder to find. At the end of the day, I think that's the problem: your generation hasn't figured out to create space to make culture that is completely and totally your own. Looking at the line in front of Berghain today, I can't help but think, why are kids still lining up for this? I don't mean that in disrespect to Berghain, but why are the kids not doing their own shit?
I think it has to do with the fact that youth today have theoretical access to all possible pasts, presents and future. Your taste in fashion, music, events, is patchworked from a thousand sources that transcend time and space, and it becomes very hard to channel that vastness into something new and definitive.
Yes, everything is referential, instead of coming from a grassroots. But you can't create culture just by copying. When I moved all my stuff from Brooklyn to Berlin recently, I went through some boxes and I found this old Jasper Johns quote that I collected for a project that I had done. It says:
If you really want to get me interested, take something old, and then do something else to that. You can't just copy and perpetuate.
Yes. But even if you have an interesting and subversive aesthetic vision, how far are you gonna get, how many people are you gonna reach, relying on channels like instagram and facebook? All of these platforms are built to follow a very limiting logic. And the content on there is consumed so rapidly, so in passing, there's no time to engage or critically reflect. There's this obsession with marketing yourself. The mindset of selling-and-buying not to only applies to us as consumers anymore, but to all aspects of our personal lives, too – especially in art & fashion. As soon as you're good at something, anything, there's the implicit expectation that you should make money from it.
I was a model agent from the early 90s until the late 2000s, and I scouted all over America. I would go to conventions, meet all these young kids, had castings, and during the callbacks I would sit down with them to have a little conversation. My opening line always was: "What's your goal?". In the early 90s, the answer was always, "I want to be a supermodel". Then in the later 90s, as reality TV became popular, the answer became "I wanna be famous". Then, about 6 years ago, the answer started to be: "I want to be a brand". The first time I heard this, it absolutely blew my mind. I looked at the girl across the table from me and I asked her, "What does that mean?", but she was as puzzled as me, she didn't have an answer. She was repeating an idea that has become so popular now without having any idea what it meant. This kind of ideology is like cult indoctrination. So many young people think of capitalism as if it's some kind of natural science.
Well it's way harder to express yourself as a human than as a product. And there's only a handful of platforms we are using to create our identity right now, structured to reward attempts to commodify yourself.
You know you're dealing with a crazy powerful ideology though when you get people to think of themselves as products to be bought and sold. The kids that are now quote-unquote 'influencers' – the word itself is so insidious, if you think about it –
Yes! Much of our language – the wish to be a brand, to sell yourself, to influence people – begins to sound horrible if you say it out loud more than once. We're not even making an effort anymore to hide the ideological construct hidden behind. I'm hoping that it's still possible to build networks for artists that at least for a little while, function outside of these systems and can stand on their own. I think the intertwinings of the art & fashion industry with new media have contributed to a kind of identity crisis among creatives, they lose sight of who they're creating for. Especially in fashion, which wants to make things that are luxurious, but is also creating now for the masses more than ever, and that at an insane pace.
When I first got involved in fashion, there was two seasons a year, Fall and Spring. Now there's like six. And it's not possible to create and produce on that level. One of the problems I have with fashion today is that things are not allowed to gestate. Before, creatives were allowed to take more time to build and develop their output. Nowadays, if you're not blowing up within a very small amount of time, and keep knocking it out of the park every season, you're a failure. It's very difficult for a young person to step into that world.
It's become very hard to create and sustain niches of culture that allow for that kind of gestation and long-form creation. With Gruppe, to me personally, it's really important that the focus is on the process. I want the people we work with to have fun creating, and also provide them with the time and space they need to do so. What are you working on right now?
I'm working on this book here. Right now it's planned as a bi-annual publication, dealing and engaging with the poetics of blackness. The theme of this first edition is 'Magic', and it's a collection of found images and collected quotes that I put together by hand. Morgan Freeman is on the cover right now because the title of the work is Famulus – a famulus in Latin is a servant to a scholar or magician. When I embarked on this project, this was the word of the day on dictionary.com. So we decided to make the book all about magic. One of the concepts we talk about in here is the Hollywood trope of the 'magical negro' – where black people just sort of magically show up in the middle of the movie to take care of white people…
…give some words of wisdom to the struggling hero…
…and then just disappear. We have a section about the magical negro, and we reference Morgan Freeman, who often plays these kinds of characters. One of the nice things about Famulus is that I created it all by hand, and I took a lot of time with it. And that's what makes it super luxurious.


text: Girl Up Awards Honor Cara Delevingne, Kate Hudson and Jameela Jamil 1:41 PM PDT 10/14/2019 by Ericka Franklin FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Steve Granitz/WireImage "Hollywood is changing, there is movement. You see more LGBTQ, more women. But at the end of the day, what does that actually mean?... I can tell you from past experience, it hasn't changed a lot," said honoree Delevingne. The second annual Girl Up Girl Hero Awards, hosted by Julianne Hough with Corinne Foxx, Nigel Barker and Nikki Bella as presenters, convened at the Beverly Wilshire on Oct. 13. Actresses Cara Delevingne, Kate Hudson, and Jameela Jamil were among those honored for using their voices to balance rights for girls and women, with a special emphasis on the LGBTQ community, the representation of girls and women, and body positivity. Before taking the stage, Jamil walked the magenta carpet and spoke highly of The Good Place creator Michael Schur, telling The Hollywood Reporter, "I feel like every moment of my career has been a fight for any kind of equality for women. I've been undermined. Maybe until I met Mike Schur was the first time I ever had a man be like, 'You are smart, you are funny, and stop doubting yourself!' Until then, I just been told that I should try to be likable and look pretty and be funnier." She noted that the experience was also a sad one, as she realized that she did not know how to receive a compliment from a man, after fighting for so many years. "I didn't know what to do when I had a straight white male in front of me, believing in me and giving me a chance that I never expected," she said. "I didn't think I deserved it in the moment and it changed the rest of my life." Since then, Jamil has taken that confidence to Twitter and Instagram under her name as well as the handle I Weigh, which she uses to call for a "dismantle against shame." She continued: "I have a very supportive boyfriend. I have amazing women all around me and I credit those people with building me up to have this fight. I'm doing my best, but it's still an ongoing journey and we all struggle. Girls especially struggle with imposter syndrome, especially women of color. I'm here just to try and prove that you can be disobedient. You can fight back, you can disrupt the system and not be shut out the way that they told me I would have." Accepting her award for doing just that, Jamil told the audience, "If I could give you three pieces of advice, it would be...talk to yourself the way you'd talk to your friends, support yourself as you would support others and fight for yourself." Soon after, Delevingne took to the stage. Taking advantage of the moment, the model-turned-actress spoke out on the lack of progress, saying: "I'm done with listening to this. I'm done with it getting worse. Hollywood is changing, there is movement. You see more LGBTQ, more women. But at the end of the day, what does that actually mean? Has it changed or are the people at the forefront changing? Hashtag MeToo, hashtag TimesUp. Is it? Has it been? I can tell you from past experience, it hasn't changed a lot." Speaking to THR, she mapped out her personal plan to make some waves in the industry: "I've now gone into things like producing and writing and trying to really call to action [forward-thinking] material being written, trying to find more sources of inspiration, more real-life things to draw from. I'm really just advocating for more people in the writers rooms or advocating for more producers, more female-led [projects]. I think the story that is the most important at this moment is trauma. I think there's so much trauma in the world. And this doesn't adhere to men or women; it adheres to everyone. Things like PTSD, addiction and depression come from trauma. Nearly everyone has suffered trauma in some way and it affects your life so much." When it came time for Hudson to accept her award, she gave advice to each young girl in the room, as though they were her own daughters, saying, "A leader doesn't have to be one thing. A leader isn't always the one leading the army. We live in a time where sometimes we think we have to do it the way everyone else is doing it or we fear, if we don't do it the same way as everyone else, that we won't succeed in our goals. Please remember there are great leaders who are beautiful thinkers and innovators. They are the quiet leaders. They're as powerful and important as the outspoken ones. Please be your own kind of leader. We need it." In between speeches, the event also featured a musical performance by newcomer Jaime Woods, who was introduced by Grammy Award-winning artist Estelle. Before serenading the crowd with her new single "Hello Morning," she told THR, "I had a career where I was surrounded by a lot of men. I'll just say the best part of my career is now. I'm working with Estelle. She DM'd me on Instagram and asked for my phone number. It all started with a conversation. There's a sisterhood growing, she found me in a very vulnerable place where I'm healing. I feel like I have a big sister now. Working with women is magic." View this post on Instagram Speaking of #girlhero, I told the universe that if I was to do music again, it'd have to be 100% different from what I've already experienced. I told the universe I needed to work with black women, to feel safe and supported. No other way would do. I'm so honored that the universe saw fit to answer my prayers with *this* woman. Not only have I gained an incredible resource, but I've also found a teammate and a sister. Overflowing with gratefulness this morning.

This artwork is inspired about our freedom experienced in a walking time, but someone stop us and this freedom is interrupted. Can this talk be a freedom moment?
This artwork is part of the Serie: 'Freedom'
I create this artwork in 2017 and is made on a canvas of 60×60 cm. When it arrives to your house you only need to insert a hook to hang it, it don't need to be framed because the sides are also part of the picture.
The technique I use is random coloring with brushes, dripping, scratching, …; making layer upon layer, covering, re-painting and scratching, until the composition is balanced.
This artwork is unframmed and I send it in a protected box.

I understand the wifi version doesn't have GPS chip and I'll hopefully be using an offline map application (maps me?)...so looks like I'll have to get a cellular version and not get a data plan. My question is, can I still use the GPS aspect in the cell card circuit without having to have a data sim inserted to the ipad? Can't afford a data plan and very likely to be in areas with no wifi so can't rely on the wifi location service. Any help gratefully received., Pusscat

We use household hazardous products every day in cleaning and fixing our homes, maintaining our cars, and taking care of our lawns. Products such as oil-based paint, weed killers, and drain opener are okay when we use them up for the job they were intended, but if these products are not properly used, stored, and disposed of, they can present a hazard to our health and our environment.
This learning trunk will help educators (both formal and informal) explain the importance of proper use, storage, disposal, and safety information of household hazardous products. This trunk also offers activities and lesson plans that will help students identify household hazardous products and read product labels; learn how hazardous products can affect their health, and identify signal words to determine the least hazardous product.
Contents: The "junk in the trunk"
This learning kit includes props and sample products, display boards, and teacher aids like lesson plans and clip art with writing and concepts appropriate for the fourth through sixth grades. Much of the content can be adapted for use with all ages.
The trunk is meant as a resource for loan, and should be used then packed up for return.
Lesson plans
The trunk's lesson plans offer guidance as to how to use the materials and props to better educate your students. They are written for the fourth through sixth grades, though many of the lessons can be adapted for use with younger or older students or adults.
Lesson Plans
Lessons are divided into four categories:
- Household hazardous products - what are they and how do they affect the environment and me?
- Read the label
- Proper usage
- Specific products.
The lesson plans may be used singly or as a progression of learning. They are appropriate for both informal education situations (clubs, exhibits, youth groups, and meetings) and formal education (schools). Each plan contains:
- The time needed to prepare and complete the activity or activities.
- The materials needed to do the activities.
- Vocabulary words used in the lesson.
- The goal and objectives of the lesson.
- Topical background information for the educator.
- Directions for one or more activities and possibly an enrichment activity.
- A list of related lesson plans.
The trunk contains all materials and lessons for the following topics:
- What are household hazardous products and where do you find them?
- The Water Cycle
- Ground Water
- Exposure Pathways: How do chemicals enter your body?
- Read the Label: Signal Words
- Read the Label: Product Characteristics
- Read the Label: Emergency Information
- Read the Label: Think before Buying
- Proper Use
- Don't Mix
- Proper Storage
- Proper Disposal
- Paint
- Pesticides
- Product Look-alikes.
You may also use the materials in the trunk as learning stations. Many of the trunk's props and materials lend themselves to self or group exploration.
For clip art of HHW images, see Marketing your HHW program.
Information and assistance
The Household Hazardous Waste Learning Trunks are the property of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's Household Hazardous Waste Program. For further information regarding the HHW Learning Trunk and Minnesota's program, contact the MPCA at 651-296-6300 or toll-free 800-657-3864 (in Minnesota only) and ask for the Household Hazardous Waste Program staff.

Sis, how are you? Just a question if you don't mind, the bay leaf used, is it the fresh type or dried type? Thank you.ReplyDelete
Hi I'm fine....I have used dried bay leaf....ReplyDelete
Hi Sis, how are you? I tried this recipe but had to make some changes to it to suit me because I can't get curry leaves easily where I live.ReplyDelete
Also, regarding the masala spice do I have to grind it to a course powder/fine powder? I added some garlic and ginger paste as well and used maybe half cup of thick coconut milk. The amount of chicken I used was about 750gm.
For me the taste is good, but the masala is slightly course. I will make more changes the next time I make it again. Your advise would be appreciated.
Hi Kash im glad u hv tried this recipe...actual recipe call for finely ground masala spice....the amount of coconut milk cn b adjusted depending on individual preference....some totally omit coconut milk ....my mom doesn't add ginger garlic for all chicken dishes....n this recipe dont call for it so i didn't add...try a few times with different adjustments u wil def come to ur favorite....tqReplyDelete
