CIO TimeSlice offers CIO services to companies not yet large enough to need their own CIO. They tend to be startups or small companies.
I've worked with startups for 15+ years and been a CIO for ten of those.
There are only a few people involved with CIO TimeSlice, so it's a small company.
Executives of small companies, usually tech related companies. They won't have much time, so the images need to be quickly understandable and get the idea across clearly.
Check out the site http://www.ciotimeslice.com. On the home page, there are a series of images in a rotating slider. All of the images are currently the same, but I want the images to match the description on the left of each slider page. They don't need to be complex, the simpler the better. The first slider will retain the current image and the other images will be replaced by images that are better suited to the topic. For example, the topics include: Reduce Costs, Free up some time, Handling Growth, and so on.
The images need to follow the color scheme of the site, and I can provide a palette.
Perhaps the images should be of consistent design, so there wouldn't be stick figures on one and photos on another. I'm willing to consider a well thought-out alternative to this though.

If the prime minister sets the standard, why has this standard been so inconsistent?
There are many questions raised by this affair, but there is only one issue. Their Senate colleagues will pronounce on whether Senators Duffy, Wallin and Brazeau are fit to sit amongst them. The courts will rule on whether any laws were broken. One day we will learn what prompted Nigel Wright to pay off Duffy's expenses, what the precise terms of their deal was, and whether the prime minister knew.
But all of these are outgrowths of a single overarching issue. That is: By what means do we hold senators and other public office-holders to account? What is the standard? How is it enforced? Is there one set of rules, independently and impartially applied? Or is there a sliding scale, depending on whether those involved are in or out of favour with the prime minister?
That is where the public interest in all this lies. As diverting as these tales of petty vendettas and double-crosses and he saids-she saids may be, it is important not to lose the thread. We can marvel at how much this or that senator claimed on his or her expense account, we can debate whether it was smart tactics to threaten so and so with such and such. But what's essential is to ensure that the integrity of public office is upheld. That's what makes this such a big story. That's why it matters.
Because running throughout this affair, at every stage, is the suspicion that such has not been the case. What elevated a relatively minor tale of expense-account fiddling into a political crisis was the suggestion that those involved, as members of the governing party, were the beneficiaries of preferential treatment: that powerful people had looked the other way at their bogus expense claims, whether out of sheer indulgence, or because they were helpful to the party's interests, or perhaps in fear of what they might reveal if called to account.
Latterly there has been a wave of public sympathy for the same disgraced trio, out of concern that they are now being singled out for harsh treatment, scapegoated for sins of which others are no less guilty, or for which they might even have been explicitly authorized. At the least, many feel, they should not be punished without a fair hearing.
But these are not two different stories, the one the opposite of the other. They are but different aspects of the same story: of arbitrary standards, selectively enforced, in the service of political expediency rather than public integrity.
This is what makes the prime minister's interventions in the House this week so problematic, in hindsight. Granted, he has been suspected from the start of having directed the secret payment to Duffy, and the subsequent whitewashing of his misdeeds. And indeed Duffy's peculiarly blinkered sense of outrage, that the prime minister should have demanded he repay expenses he had falsely claimed, gave him the opportunity, as I wrote last time, to turn the situation to his advantage. No, he had no knowledge of Wright's activities. But had he ordered Duffy to repay? "Darn right I did!" Was he in support of the Senate motion to suspend all three senators without pay? "Unequivocally."
But in so doing the prime minister, more than anyone has to date, made himself the issue. By boasting of how he had been the one to bring Duffy to account, he was in effect saying: I am the standard. I am the enforcer. The rules are what I say they are, and I will decide in any given case what punishment should be given out.
Which is fine, as far as it goes. We are in a strange grey area here: not only is it not clear as yet whether any laws were broken, but the Senate rules themselves are unclear (and even where they are clear, laxly enforced). That hardly exonerates the individuals involved, who indisputably helped themselves to funds to which, by any common sense standard, they were not entitled. If they were members of Parliament, they would surely be held to account in the court of public opinion, at the next election. But as senators? Senators he himself had appointed? Who else can sit in judgment of them, but their creator?
But if the prime minister sets the standard, then we are entitled to ask: Why has this standard been so inconsistent? On essentially the same set of facts, the senators in question have been held to three entirely distinct standards: total indulgence, in the first stages of their tenure, when they were viewed as assets to the party; total ostracism, since the scandal broke, when they had become political liabilities; and in between that strange interlude, at least with regard to Duffy, when he was both being punished — pay back your expenses! — and indulged: play along, keep quiet and Nigel will pay.
So if the prime minister seeks to be congratulated for cracking the whip now, he must also accept responsibility for doing nothing before, when the same senators were touring the country attending Tory fundraisers and speaking at campaign events on the public dime. Can he pretend this was a secret? Indeed, he must earnestly hope the auditor general, in the course of his investigations, does not find others of the senators at his command have done the same — as of course must they. For then the hypocrisy would be total.
This is why the Watergate question — what did the prime minster know when — while important, is not the issue. Whether he specifically approved the decision to bail out Duffy, he was the author of the climate of expediency in which it was made. He is responsible, because he is the standard.

Mariners extend 15 prospects non-roster invites
Shortstop Taylor headlines young players set to get taste of big league camp
SEATTLE -- Shortstop Chris Taylor, last year's Mariners Minor League Player of the Year, is one of 15 youngsters not on the 40-man roster who'll be invited to take part in Seattle's Major League Spring Training when manager Lloyd McClendon opens his first camp next month in Peoria, Ariz., the club announced Tuesday.
In addition to the 15 Minor League non-roster invitees, the Mariners have so far signed four veteran free agents to Minor League deals with Spring Training invitations -- right-handed pitchers Ramon Ramirez and Matt Palmer, catcher Humberto Quintero and outfielder Cole Gillespie.
That number of veteran free agents figures to grow before camp opens with pitchers and catchers reporting on Feb. 12 and position players on Feb. 17. But the Minor League invitations have now been extended, with Taylor among 10 rookies who'll receive their first exposure to the big league camp.
Also getting their first Major League camp invites are catcher Mike Dowd, infielders Ty Kelly, Gabriel Noriega and Nate Tenbrink, left-handed pitchers Roenis Elias, James Gillheeny and Nick Hill, and right-handers Stephen Kohlscheen and Dominic Leone.
Five other invited Minor Leaguers will be getting their second big league camp experience -- catcher John Hicks and right-handed pitchers Jonathan Arias, Andrew Carraway, Chance Ruffin and Carson Smith.
Taylor, ranked fifth on the Mariners' Top 20 prospect list by MLB.com, is a 23-year-old shortstop who hit .314 with 100 runs, 28 doubles, 11 triples, eight home runs, 60 RBIs and 38 stolen bases in 134 games between Double-A Jackson and Class A Advanced High Desert last year. He was Seattle's fifth-round Draft pick out of Virginia in 2012.
Smith, the Mariners' No. 13-ranked prospect by MLB.com, was the organization's Minor League Relief Pitcher of the Year in 2013 after recording 15 saves and a 1.80 ERA in 44 appearances with Jackson. He and Leone are both hard-throwing right-handers who'll be given a chance to compete for bullpen roles.
Kohlscheen, 25, is a 45th-round Draft pick out of Auburn University in 2010 who emerged last year with a 7-3 record and 2.30 ERA in 41 appearances for Jackson. The 6-foot-6 right-hander led all Southern League relievers in strikeouts per nine innings (11.48) as he struck out 85 batters in 66 2/3 innings with 25 walks.
Kelly, 25, was acquired in a trade with the Orioles for outfielder Eric Thames last June and hit .320 with a .456 on-base percentage in 54 games for Triple-A Tacoma as a middle infielder.
Several of Seattle's top-rated prospects are already on the 40-man roster and thus will automatically be at Major League camp, including No. 1 prospect Taijuan Walker, who'll be competing for a rotation berth as a 21-year-old right-hander.
Other top-ranked prospects already on the 40-man are left-hander James Paxton (No. 6) and outfielders Stefen Romero (No. 7), Julio Morban (No. 11) and Xavier Avery (No. 17). Southpaw Danny Hultzen (No. 2) will miss the entire season after undergoing rotator cuff surgery on his left shoulder, while the other top young prospects will be part of the Minor League camp that opens later in February in Peoria.

On 24-25 February in Adelaide, South Australia, business and State Government members of The Climate Group met for the first major event of The Climate Smart Precincts Initiative.
Hosted by the South Australian Government, the event consisted of site visits to State-owned development projects followed by workshops exploring how to build the truly low-carbon and climate resilient communities of the future.
Senior representatives of Arup, GE, IBM, Johnson Controls, Lend Lease, and Origin Energy – in addition to observers from academia and the Victorian State Government – provided their collective sectoral and international expertise, insights and experience to inform site design and implementation. Recommendations included -
The Climate Group's Climate Smart Precincts Initiative aims to accelerate the delivery of low-carbon and climate resilient infrastructure and technology that will assist in meeting the carbon reduction goals of government. By facilitating precinct-specific dialogue, the Initiative seeks to inform broader discussions on Climate Smart Precinct development and to advocate for necessary changes in policy, regulatory and market enabling frameworks, in addition to new mechanisms for community engagement and buy-in.
The Climate Group's Australia Director, Caroline Bayliss, who facilitated the workshop discussions, said, "The workshops really highlighted the benefit of business and government collaboration in envisioning the core non-negotiable elements of a Climate Smart Precinct. They also emphasized that innovation in the development of urban design goes hand in hand with innovation in the delivery model. That means close public and private sector collaboration in developing new ways of sharing risk and allocating resources – in addition to a shared commitment to demonstrating leadership by practical example."
A full report from the South Australian workshop, as well as a formal launch of the Climate Smart Precincts Initiative, are scheduled for the second quarter of 2011.

Destination guide: Cajamarca, Peru
Cajamarca is in northern Peru in the western Andes and is home to both mountains and jungle. The city was originally inhabited by the Huacaloma, Layzon, Cumbe Mayo and Otuzco tribes, who left behind an important cultural legacy.
In fact, Cajamarca is an important part of the Historical and Cultural Heritage of the Americas, a title it received in 1986 from the Organization of American States (OAS). This is not all though, since Cajamarca is also known as the capital of the Peruvian carnival.
Content provided by Lonely Planet.
The most important town in the northern highlands, Cajamarca is a dainty colonial metropolis cradled in a languid valley and stonewalled by brawny mountains in every direction. Descending into the vale by road, Cajamarca's mushroom field of red-tile-roofed abodes surely confesses a secret desire to cling to its village roots. Fertile farmland carpets the entire valley and Cajamarca's streets belong as much to the wide-brimmed-hat-wielding campesinos (peasants) bundled in brightly colored scarves, as the young city slickers who frequent the boutique restaurants and bars.
In the colonial center, the capacious Plaza de Armas is bordered by majestic churches. From here, once-decadent baroque mansions spread out in concentric circles along the cobbled streets, many enclosing ethereal hotels and fine restaurants.Things have changed slowly here.

Club Journalist @dclayton_mcfc takes a look back at the weekend result and ahead to Wednesday's trip to the Nou Camp...
1 Silva polish
Last season was probably the hardest of David Silva's career.
Blighted by an ankle injury picked up while on duty with Spain during the autumn, his mobility was restricted and he found it difficult to find his best form. Arguably the best midfielder City have ever had, decided to play on rather than take the rest he probably needed, partly because Samir Nasri has been ruled out for much of the campaign and partly because he wanted to help the team.
The summer break came at the right time and Spain's relatively early exit from Euro 2016 meant he could finally rest for the best part of a month.
He returned refreshed, batteries fully recharged and ready to play a pivotal role in Pep Guardiola's new-look City - and hasn't looked back since.
In fact, the player the fans have nicknamed 'El Mago' is shaping up to have his best season yet for the Blues in this, seventh season with the Club.
Whether it is because he has regularly worn the captain's armband or being totally free of pain or perhaps just the perfect role of being integral to everything that the team do, Silva has been mesmerising so far this campaign and his display against Everton had a touch of everything - silk, steel and energy.
It could be that he is set to enjoy his best season yet for City, which is bad news for the rest of the Premier League and, hopefully, our Champions League opponents...
2 Spot of bother?
What's with the penalties this season?
One thing is for sure, the way City play intricate passes in and around the box means defenders will be drawn to make rash challenges and, as Phil Jagielka found to his cost on Saturday, unless you get the tackle spot on. you're going to give away a penalty.
The Blues have won EIGHT spot-kicks already in just 13 matches, dispatching four and missing four.
Undoubtedly the two misses against Everton cost the Blues two points with both Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne's attempts at that cliched 'nice height for a keeper'. Kun has missed four for Club and country this season but, rightly, Pep insists he is happy for the Argentine to continue taking them.
The fact is, you only have to look at Lionel Messi who has missed 17 for Barcelona and has a success rate of 76% - yet do the Catalans take the penalty-taking duties away from him? Of course not. He scores at a rate of three in every four he takes and Sergio will score more than he misses - therefore, the risk is worthwhile.
3 In Sane we trust...
As he adjust to life in the Premier League, a new club and a new country, it's fair to say we haven't seen the best of Leroy Sane yet - but his performance against Everton suggested he's not far off showing the sort of form that made him one of Germany's most exciting prospects.
Sane effortlessly shifts through the gears but apart from speed, he is strong and physically imposing.
His trickery bamboozled the Everton defence on several occasions during the first half and on another day, he might have won a penalty. He is different, unpredictable there is much more to come from the 20-year-old.
4 300 up for Vincent
It almost went under the radar that Vincent Kompany made his 300th City appearance on Saturday.
The City skipper came on in the dying moments of the 1-1 draw with Everton as a makeshift forward and it will have felt good to get a few minutes under his belt.
Only Joe Hart also managing the feat so it is a rare achievement in the modern era - it's unlikely Vincent will be celebrating too much, but it's great to see him back nonetheless.
5 Another fine Messi
So Lionel Messi took just three minutes to score after coming on as a 55th-minute sub at the weekend. Three minutes.
Of course, we knew the Argentine genius would be fit for this game as the nature of his injury suggested he'd be fit around about now - no surprises there, then. Will he be at his sharpest? That's another story, but even if he's running at 75%, he will be a major threat.
And the Catalans rested Andres Iniesta and Luis Suarez played for just 45 minutes ahead of Wednesday's game, though full-backs Jordi Alba, Sergi Roberto and goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen are all doubtful.
So the question is, is this a good time to face Barcelona? The answer is, there is no good time to face Barcelona... but this should be a fascinating game with City fans perhaps looking forward this trip to the Nou Camp as Pep, Nolito all return to their former stomping ground.

Despite quarterly earnings that surpassed Wall Street expectations, Cisco Systems is planning to cut 6,000 jobs, or 8 percent of its workforce.
The company, which has the fifth-largest employee base in Silicon Valley tech, posted its fourth-quarter fiscal earnings of 55 cents per share, which rose from 52 cents a share from last year's fourth-quarter earnings, according to CNBC. However, overall revenue dropped slightly from $12.4 billion to $12.36 billion.
U.S. & World
"We returned a record $13.3 billion to shareholders this fiscal year through share buybacks and dividends," Frank Calderoni, a Cisco executive vice president told CNBC.
However, this is the fourth summer that Cisco has announced layoffs, so much so that it seems to be an annual event -- even with all the billions sent back to its shareholders. Last year it announced 4,000 layoffs.
In 2012, the company announced 1,300 layoffs, and in 2011 there were 6,500 jobs lost, according to the San Jose Mercury News. Cisco has frequently filled its workforce by acquiring smaller companies.
"We will exit this year pretty much with the same number of people we started the year with," CEO John Chambers said at the earnings call. "Some groups will not be affected at all. Others will."

|Behavioral inhibition and executive functions (EF) are two key aspects of self-regulation, and deficits in these regulatory processes serve as risk factors for the development of antisocial behavior (ASB). In spite of the well-established association between EF impairments and ASB, we do not yet know (1) the direction of the relationship itself, i.e., whether ASB may be result or cause of EF deficits during development, and (2) the extent to which the relationship is mediated by genetic and environmental factors. In addition, there is a significant dearth in the literature regarding the longitudinal stability of ASB and EF during development. Phenotypic and biometric multivariate models were used to investigate these questions in a longitudinal twin study (N=724 same and opposite-sex twin pairs) based on data from two occasions when the twins were aged 9-10 years (Time 1) and 14-16 years (Time 2). Initial multivariate genetic model fitting results indicated that a common latent factor could account for a significant portion of the variation in five broad indices of ASB representing aggression, delinquency, psychopathic personality traits, and conduct disorder symptoms. This latent ASB factor was influenced by additive genetic (Time 1: 62%; Time 2: 76%), common environmental (Time 1: 12%; Time 2: 7%), and unique environmental factors (Time 1: 26%; Time 2: 17%) during late childhood and middle adolescence. Similarly, a common EF factor captured a substantial amount of the variation in two well-validated tasks tapping cognitive flexibility, inhibition, and control; during both childhood and adolescence this latent factor was explained by additive genetic factors (Time 1: 53%; Time 2: 49%) and unique environmental influences (Time 1: 47%; Time 2: 51%) in approximately equal measure. Longitudinal analyses indicated that both ASB and EF are stable from 9-10 to 14-16 years, and that the continuity in these latent factors is largely explained by stable genetic effects (ASB: 74%; EF: 81%). Phenotypic correlations demonstrated significant positive associations between ASB and EF measures, both within time at Time 1 (r ranging from .10 to .29, p<.01), Time 2 (r ranging from .10 to .25, p<.01) and longitudinally (rEF1,ASB2 ranging from .14 to .23, p<.01 and rASB1,EF2 ranging from .13 to .26, p<.01). Together these significant longitudinal correlations suggest bi-direction. Phenotypic cross-lagged regression provided evidence for a bidirectional association between ASB and EF, such that EF at 9-10 years significantly predicted ASB at 14-16 years, while controlling for preexisting ASB at age 9-10. Perhaps more importantly, ASB at 9-10 years also predicted later EF at 14-16 while controlling for earlier EF at age 9-10. To the author's knowledge, these results are the first to implicate childhood antisociality as a significant predictor of executive function performance, with a five to seven year lag between assessment occasions. The overall adjusted effect sizes for ASB (R2=.47) and EF (R2=.39) at 14-16 years indicated that a substantial portion of the Time 2 variances were accounted for by the two Time 1 predictors. Biometric cross-lagged analyses allowed for the further decomposition of the parameters (i.e., stability within each construct and cross-lagged effects) into genetic and environmental contributions. Results revealed five major findings: 1) the stability of both EF and ASB over time was primarily the result of stable genetic factors; 2) there appears to be a bidirectional relationship between EF and ASB over time, such that both EF and ASB at 9-10 independently predict the other five to seven years later. These cross-lagged effects for EF and ASB at 14-16 years (3% and 1%, respectively) were mediated by both genetic and unique environmental factors; 3) substantial covariance exists between EF and ASB at 9-10 years, as well as at 14-16 years; 4) new genetic and environmental factors appear to play a role at 14-16 years in both EF and ASB which are unrelated to earlier effects; and 5) although means and variances were greater for males than females for the majority of ASB measures, the genetic and environmental contributions to EF and ASB at 9-10 and 14-16 years stemmed from both quantitatively and qualitatively similar sources in boys and girls. Taken together, results from these analyses underscore the potential of behavior genetic approaches to identify the sources of individual differences in executive processes and antisocial behavior, and suggest that a variety of child and adolescent problem behaviors, personality characteristics, and cognitive processes share a common underlying genetic risk. Findings from the current study highlight the predictive utility of these early indices in identifying important pathways to disinhibitory psychopathology and cognition.

text: Does anyone know what news Qualcomm announced at CES this year? What products it unveiled? No? But you do know that the chipmaker put Big Bird onstage. And Steve Ballmer. While the bizarre ritual of the tech company keynote grinds on, the point of these exercises in social awkwardness, astroturfed enthusiasm, celebrity shilling and PowerPoint pandering has long since dissolved into the smoke machine-obscured mists. Of course, we in the media are key keynote enablers. We cover these things relentlessly because they're manufactured for us to cover and, hey, sometimes they even serve up little dribbles of news! Still, keynotes have taken on a weird meta-marketing quality, where the keynote has become less about the information conveyed by the presentation and more about the presentation itself. The music. The lights. The technical glitches. Steve Ballmer's gait. Given this pomo reality, cash-rich tech companies still can't seem to buy themselves a good keynote. Cheesy incoherence rules the day. But maybe that's not such a bad plan. The worse the keynote, the more buzz around its badness. Witness this gallery. It may be years after the fact, and we've forgotten about what you were selling. But we're still talking about your keynote. Above: Qualcomm at CES 2013: Big Bird, vampires, Ballmer As a spectacle, Qualcomm's turn at the plate to deliver the keynote at the biggest gadget event of the year lived up to the audience's Vegas-sized expectations. No one could say they didn't put on a show. But what that show was actually about remains unclear. From the wooden acting of the irony-free opening skit fo a gory vampire move clip to Big Bird and "Birdkateer Dave" -- oh, also Steve Ballmer and Maroon 5 -- Qualcomm wanted everyone to know they get the "mobile generation." Not sure the feeling is mutual. Photo: Julie Jacobson/APJustin Timberlake for Panasonic/MySpace TV at CES 2012 Not even Justin Timberlake could save the Panasonic/MySpace TV keynote at CES in 2012. (You know, MySpace TV? You've seen that, right? Us neither.) Says Wired's Roberto Baldwin, who attended the presentation: "It was horrible and awkward and made me weep for all the people onstage and their families." Photo: Panasonic/Gary He/APSteve Jobs and Bill Gates' giant head at MacWorld 1997 Apple in 1997 was like Nokia or RIM today: A once important company stumbling down a pit of its own digging toward what many pundits saw as its imminent demise. To save the company, Apple brought back its founder, Steve Jobs. Not as many people remember that Apple also brought in Bill Gates. Wired's own Bob McMillan says reporters were scratching their heads in the pressroom after the news that Microsoft was bailing out its once and future competitor to the tune of $150 million. Apple fanboys and girls, meanwhile, gave Bill Gates a less than warm reception (fast-forward this video to minute 31) when his giant head appeared on a screen above Jobs via satellite in one of the more awkward meetings of two great tech minds. Julia Malakie/APMark Zuckerberg sweats profusely at AllThingsD conference Mark Zuckerberg is probably a little too young to remember those Dry Idea deodorant commercials from the 1980s -- the ones with the tag line "Never let 'em see you sweat." Zuckerberg let everyone see him sweat while Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher (above) peppered him with questions about Facebook and privacy (and his hoodie) during AllThingsD's D8 conference in 2010. Photo: Esthr/FlickrBill Gates sets mosquitos loose at TED While not a keynote in the traditional sense, Bill Gates' mosquito stunt at TED deserves mention for its sheer theatrics. What was described as a "swarm" by some reporters turned out to be seven bugs in all. (The ostensible point of the release was to dramatize to the audience of elites the threat of malaria faced by so many of the world's poor every day.)

A cloud of smoke. Coughing. Will Smith: "It was smoke and it was a nice strong Sony strobe. The best in the world." Men in Black director Barry Sonnenfeld: "I just want to thank you for all your hard work on the Alpha 77." Sir Howard: "Do you have any idea what he was talking about?" The crowd does not go wild.

Before stepping aside as Google CEO in 2011, Eric Schmidt said several things in public that did not make people uneasy about his company's omniscience feel better, including this to a Washington, D.C., audience in 2010: "We know where you are. We know where you've been. We can more or less know what you're thinking about." Above: Google CEO Eric Schmidt speaks at the TechCrunch Disrupt 2010 Conference in San Francisco.

Wholesale CBD Oil Isolate Products
If you would like to purchase this type of Wholesale CBD Isolate In , you need to keep in mind that the cost and high quality of the oil depends on the plant it comes from. Another significant issue is the quantity of the CBD oil that the plant produces. This oil is the most used critical oil on earth. Industrial hemp oil is not a drug. There is also not enough THC contained in it to produce a psychotropic effect. Our Wholesale Pure CBD Isolate In specifically have No THC and are therefore 100% USA. Many people might come into contact with industrial hemp oil when looking for cannabidiol oil (CBD) to buy. Therefore CBD Oil wholesalers need to do research to ensure you understand exactly what you are searching then selling ultimately to your customers. In the United States, there are many very low quality, fake Wholesale CBD Isolate In , and many sell CBD oils from Canada or the UK.

They offer very economic rates, specially when compared with other so-called Wholesale CBD Isolate In who are actually middlemen (referred to as Brokers) that drive the expense up.

You won't have to give up your regular prices to buy it. The advantages offered by hemp oil hasn't been analyzed extensively in humans, so although it likely does have advantages, they have not been established medically and are not ensured.

Wholesale CBD Isolates
Wholesale CBD isolate is a powdered cannabidiol extract that is incredibly pure, and that contains the 'medicinal' parts of cannabis. This anhydrous substance is 99% CBD, and it can be used as a food additive, added to liquids, or ingested in other ways to enjoy the medicinal benefits of CBD.
CBD oil use is a relatively new thing, and there are still a lot of questions about exactly how it works and what it can do, but it is known that it is safe, and if you can get CBD That does not contain THC (as CBD isolates are known to), then you can get the healing and pain relief benefits without the psychoactive effects.
CBD can be used to help calm people down, help them focus, and also help people who suffer from chronic pain conditions as well. CBD will not get you 'high' but it can help with arthritis, ADHD, nagging injuries, and even with skin conditions.
Some people mix Wholesale CBD isolates in with e-liquids, to inhale the substance. Others put them into edibles, which can help with the bio-availability (as long as you don't over-cook them, breaking the CBD down).
There is a lot of misinformation out there about CBD. The oils are actually legal in most parts of the world (Canada is one of the only places where it is formally considered a controlled substance, even though it does not contain THC). Wholesale CBD isolates are expensive, because of the purification process, but they are very potent, and you should find that they do their job very well.
What's In CBD
Cannabidiol and tetrahydrocannabinol are the two cannabidoids that occur naturally in Hemp. Thy are very similar when they are examined at the molecular level, and initially many law enforcement departments treated them as being the same. However, it has since been found that CBD has the focus and mind-enhancing aspects of cannabis, and that it can act as a nootropic - but it is not a psychotropic.
THC's mind-altering behaviour is what makes it illgal - some people experience paranoia, and some people experience highs that make them lose control of their faculties. This makes THC dangerous in certain environments (such as if you are driving, or operating heavy machinery), and that's why it is considered illegal in many states.
Cannabis has pain relief effects, and it can improve the quality of life for people who have serious medical conditions. Medical marijuana is one option. CBD is an option for people who want the pain relief, without the mind altering effects. Wholesale CBD isolate makes it possible to take in CBD without the strong taste, and without the 'side effects'.
CBD and THC are not addictive. Some people enjoy the 'highs', but that doesn't mean that they are going to get biologically addicted to it. CBD offers relief of pain at the neuro-synapse level. The pain relief can be lasting, but it does not cure whatever was causing the pain. Rather, it reduces the production of cytokines by the Glial cells in the injured area, stopping you from feeling pain while there is an injury.
The way that CBD and THC interact with each other when you smoke marijuana are complicated, and it's hard to know exactly what taking CBD isolates by themselves will do. Initial reports from 'early adopters' however, suggest that Wholesale CBD will work to ease Parkinson's tremors, help autistic people focus, soothe the pain from arthritis, and generally improve their quality of life. It's well worth trying if you have already tried painkillers, and found them to be ineffective for your needs.

Using CBD Pills To Treat Anxiety
A wide variety of components derived from cannabis have become legalized in many of the states here in America over the past few years. For many long years there has been a very strong stance against any level of the use of marijuana in the US which it is still a shock to many people how increasingly receptive the country is becoming too the different forms of marijuana use. recreational and medicinal acceptancehas become a trend that is taking hold like a run away train traveling across the country and creating revenues at an astounding rate as more and more patients register.
These social and political changes have opened the door to the highly sought after CBD Pills that contain huge medicinal benefits. Among the many wonderful CBD qualities for treating various ailments, anxiety is one of the conditions that can be treated through the use of these pills. It is a very interesting fact that there are a large number of patients that have sought their cards for medical marijuana use specifically for the purpose of treating their anxiety issues.
Many patients lives have been made so much better on a daily basis by having medical marijuana available on a daily basis. It is also an interesting thing to know that many people taking CBD pills are unaware that their anxiety is being treated in the process. There are people who use the wonderful product because it delivers feelings of relaxation and calmness, all without asking any questions or receiving a diagnosis from professional medical specialists.
Being free of the headaches and harassment from authorities has provided great relief by making it possible for people who suffer with anxiety and other medical conditions to take advantage of the help that they really need. Often, drinking alcohol was used as a remedy for feeling better but many times lead to a drunken state instead of relieving the actual ailments that someone would be experiencing. CBD pills do not have such a devastating consequences as drinking too much alcohol while trying to relieve disorders, especially the treatment of anxiety.
There are important differences that must be understood when comparing these pills with using a bong or joint to smoke the substance. The component in question is isolated for specific medical purposes and separately sold to meet those purposes. CBD is in no way the same as THC which is the active substance in cannabis that people are able to get high on. When the primary goal is treating anxiety, the risks of being high are eliminated through this wonderful alternative and to make it possible for a person to take care of the things that are important in their daily lives.
There is a large amount of documentation stating the many benefits CBD pills have for anxiety sufferers. A number of these patients suffer from other disorders such as PTSD at the same time that they are struggling with being anxious. The physical and mental feeling of being disoriented or "tweaking"is no issue with the use of pills or oils containing CBD because life goes on as normal in both professional and social settings.
Positive reports have poured in from patients that prefer using CBD as an alternative non pharmaceutical treatment for their anxiety condition. States that now allow medical use of legalized weed have done their studies regarding the use of this substance. The most advanced area of the country concerning this research is California because that state has had a great deal of more experience than the rest of the country.
Legalization has had a tremendous effect on the development of specific products geared toward many targeting different symptoms more directly and in a shorter amount of time. The mental and emotional benefits for people speaks volumes toward the ongoing acceptance across the countryfor curing post traumatic stress disorder, nauseous and anorexic conditions, and even agoraphobia.
CBD products are definitely the best choice for anyone seeking relief from any of the conditions mentioned without having to deal with the side effects of alcohol and other risks associated with dangerous pharmaceuticals and the drugs. Living a normal life without the misery of suffering from these ailments is very possible through the use of CBD oil or pills, including relief from anxiety. The benefits extend beyond just of the patient because others around them also recognize the difference.
If it is legal in your area, it would be a good idea to check into the use of CBD pills and what they can do for you and or the ones you love.

I spent the first twenty years of my life living in different parts of Queensland and the Northern Territory, Australia. I wrote stories for most of that time, drawing on the different landscapes we encountered and giving a hyper-active imagination somewhere to run. I spent a few years in Melbourne earning my undergraduate degree in Literature, and Masters of Arts in Literature and Writing. I have been a freelance editor for over thirteen years and have so far written four collections of short stories and poetry, and a number of novels, with many more to come.

Wiesbaden is one of the best-heeled cities in Germany: this ultra-sophisticated city is characterised by its refined taste, its touch of class and its prestige. A long-established and exclusive spa resort, the city is widely regarded as the wellness capital of Europe. Whether you come for the saunas or the restaurants, the atmosphere or the shopping, you will find everything to be at the height of luxury.
One of the best reasons to visit Wiesbaden is to indulge in something new... especially when it's a matter of health. Since the days of the Romans, Wiesbaden has been famed for the healing effects of its 26 thermal springs, making the city the ultimate benchmark of any spa town. Numerous hotels have their own thermal spas and other wellness facilities offering every luxury imaginable. But the city's crowning glory has to be the Kaiser Friedrich baths on the site of an ancient Roman steamroom: the 1,500 square metres of saunas will leave guests feeling pampered from head to toe. The Kurhaus spa assembly rooms, situated in the magnificent English-style park and framed by a number of glorious buildings, are a venue for first-class entertainment. The city's famous casino is also the perfect place for an evening of sophistication, and as with the saunas there's every chance you might break into a sweat. The spa colonnade, which at 129 metres is the longest columned hall in Europe, and the theatre colonnades of the Hessian State Theatre that first opened in 1894 are the perfect complement to a world-class city of health and culture. Not just here but throughout Wiesbaden, people know how to live life to the full. A stroll through Wiesbaden's pentagon-shaped old quarter confirms this. Starting at Schlossplatz square you'll see the palace of the dukes of Nassau, as well as the city centre's earliest surviving building, the Old Town Hall dating back to 1610. Running along the eastern edge of this historical quarter is elegant Wilhelmstrasse, a paradise of shopping and culture.
Alongside exclusive boutiques, galleries and cafés, the street is home to two internationally acclaimed museums: Wiesbaden Museum featuring art from the 12th to the 21st century as well as an important natural history collection, and the Nassau Kunstverein gallery, which specialises in contemporary works. On the eastern side of Wilhelmstrasse lies Warmer Damm park, which was laid out in 1860. Further to the east comes Söhnlein Villa, often referred to as the 'White House' because it imitates the Washington landmark. The Wilhelmstrasse street festival is one of the biggest in Germany – an occasion that guarantees a steady flow of champagne and a festive atmosphere year after year. Smaller and more intimate than the famous shopping street, but with its very own Wilhelmstrasse vibe, is the quarter incorporating Goldgasse, Kranzplatz square and Kochbrunnenplatz square. The city's savoir-vivre is also evident in its broad range of theatrical, literary and musical offerings. For example, distinguished ensembles gather at the Hessian State Theatre each year for the International May Festival, and every summer the Rheingau Music Festival transforms the entire Wiesbaden region into one huge concert stage. Freudenberg House in the district of Dotzheim also offers plenty of culture and novel experiences for the senses. And when it comes to the sense of taste, the city's restaurants and cafés have it covered. Whether you're looking for a light Mediterranean-style snack or a sumptuous celebratory dinner, every taste is catered for. Choose from sophisticated restaurants, bistros and brasseries, cosy wine and beer taverns or pubs, bars and cafés. Your table is ready. So what are you waiting for? Come to Wiesbaden and experience something special.

Is it as simple as time training = better performance. if you're a part time runner, you'll just have to live with part time performance?
Big races coming in this area and it's got me 'athinking. 'Training volume' is it an aggregate indicator of how you finish in a race? Picture this: The army 10-mile'r about 20-25,000 finishers. Imagine the finish in a single file line. Could you take a picture of them in single file and draw a circle around each group of 100 runners and write the average training miles (or weekly time invested) next to each group and see a definite trend of training volume to finishing times? Is it as simple as finishers 1-101 trained 'xxhours/week, the next hundred averaged xx-1 hours/week, and so on? Maybe the 10-miler is too short to see a definite trend, how about a big city marathon, or an ultra (like Comrades)?
This is easily true at the extremes. Those that plan to walk these races probably have zero to 'a couple miles' a week under their belts - and those finishing at the top logged up to 100s of miles a week. I'm generalizing here, many athletes have differing histories of volume, better/worse genetics, etc etc. but could logging miles be the 'key' in endurance sports?
I found this helpful study on finishers of the Comrades Ultra (Link Here). Form the piece:
Those with the fastest times (6 to 6.5 hrs) had done 2574km (1600miles) and the 10 to 11 hrs finishers 1030km (640mi) <<miles done in the 6mos leading up to the race>>. The current elite runners claim to run in excess of 3000 to 3500 km (1864-2174mi) in preparation for the marathon, which is similar to what runners were doing twenty years ago.
…<also note>Despite their high training load the male silver medallists were the least likely to have spent a week off due to injury and illness (28.6%) - but then the corollary is that this would have allowed them to complete a higher total mileage. The majority of the men who finished in over 10 and over 11 hours (76% and 58% respectively) had been unable to train due to injury or illness. Likewise, the women who finished in under 9 hrs had the least compromised training (15.1% were unable to train for a week or more) while up to 50% of the women in all the other medal groups had been affected. Six of the seven women who did not finish had been ill and/or injured and their total training mileage was lower than any other group in the study.In table form, years of experience running, and training volume in the 6mos leading up until the race.
Training volume equals performance and training volume equals less injury rates. If you're competitive, it is your job to accept how much time you have to train and that is most likely to determine how you race (or be injured ...more on this later!).

It was originally built in 1893-1898 to designs by architect Edward Durang, extended to its present size in 1906, and rebuilt in 1908 after being damaged by a fire that started in a nearby hat factory. Unlike many Catholic churches, it did not modify its old High Altar following the liturgical reforms of Vatican II in 1962.

The orca, or "killer whale" (Orcinus orca) is a toothed whale and is the largest member of the dolphin family. It is highly social and composed of matrilineal family groups. Orcas have long, rounded bodies with large dorsal fins at the middle of their backs. Their black bodies are marked with white patches on the underside and near the eyes.
Orcas feed on fish, squid, birds, and marine mammals. Like dolphins, orcas use echolocation – bouncing sound off of objects to determine their location – to hunt and use a series of high-pitched clicks to stun prey.
Did You Know?
The orca's large size and strength make it among the fastest marine mammals, able to reach speeds in excess of 35mph!
Members of orca pods very often work together to catch a meal. Pod members sometimes will force many fish into one area and then take turns feeding or will beach (slide out of the water onto the shore) themselves to scare seals or penguins into the water, where other killer whales are waiting to feed.
Official worldwide populations of orcas are currently unknown, but likely not to be less than 50,000 individuals.
Did You Know?
Many orcas live with their mothers for their entire lives! Found in all oceans of the world, orcas are most common in the Arctic and Antarctic and are often spotted off the west coast of the United States and Canada. Orcas are found in both coastal waters and open ocean.
Orcas are highly social animals that travel in groups called pods. Pods usually consist of 5 – 30 whales, although some pods may combine to form a group of 100 or more. Orcas establish social hierarchies, and pods are lead by females. The animals are thought to have a complex form of communication with different dialects (slightly different language) from one pod to another.
Orca gestation is 13 to 16 months. A calf is born in autumn weighing almost 400 pounds and measuring up to seven feet in length. A calf will remain with its mother for at least two years.

Hey everyone!
Gosh, it's been a while since I've been here, Seems like forever. But, it's time to dust off the ol' account and come back to life here on the forum!
Things changed for me the past year. I finished high school and I am now following an applied sience education in journalism. It's a great subject to study but it didn't leave much time for lego, especially in the beginning. Now things have calmed down and I finally have some time to build stuff again. Yay!
I guess that's pretty much it! It feels good to be back!
