I call back a 2000 Time publication case yarn that forecastedability the "death of gross sales careers" (or, at slightest a re-engineeringability of how products and services would be meted out in the new period). Well, it is 2007 and the nonfiction was fractional right: the Computer network has varied the reshape of merchandising.

Corrections officer dead, 6 inmates injured after crash
A corrections officer is dead and six inmates injured after a crash 45 kilometres south of The Pas, Man. on Highway 10, according to Manitoba RCMP.
The victim's family has identified the officer as 44-year-old Rhonda Commodore. CBC was told she was the single mother of a young son.
RCMP say Commodore died when she was thrown from a Manitoba Corrections van she was a passenger in at around 9:45 a.m. Thursday. The van crashed into a ditch and rolled before coming to a complete stop.
The driver, a 43-year-old male officer, is in stable condition and six inmates were sent to the hospital following the crash. The inmates sustained minor injuries, according to RCMP.
The van had been transporting the six inmates to Dauphin from The Pas and was travelling southbound when the driver lost control of the vehicle.
"This just goes to show that this is extremely dangerous work ... while they're out there ensuring the safety of Manitobans they're putting their own lives at risk," said Michelle Gawronsky, president of Manitoba Government Employees Union.
"The Pas is a small town and everybody knows each other, so this is a family member with corrections officers. They are a team, they`re a family together, so one fallen, they're all affected."
RCMP say winter road conditions were a factor in the crash. It is not yet known if Commodore was wearing a seatbelt.
"Seatbelts are installed in all vehicles for officers and there are no specific policies for their use beyond what's in place under Manitoba law," said a spokesperson for the provincial government.
"[Vehicles used to transport inmates] are all retrofitted with security features and inmates are restrained during transport. Inmate areas do not have seatbelts for security reasons," the spokesperson said.
Justice Minister James Allum offered his condolences on behalf of the Manitoba government on Thursday.
"Our hearts and thoughts are with the family, friends and co-workers of the officer who died in the line of duty," Allum said. "Our thoughts are also with a second officer who was injured in the accident and is now in hospital."
An image CBC originally published with this story was in fact not associated with the fatal crash in question.

So you aren't sure what Invisalign is? Invisalign is an innovative product that is used to straighten your teeth; it has been available since 1997. This procedure uses a series of custom made clear aligners to straighten your teeth.
Since 1997, Invisalign has been responsible for helping over three million people have a perfect, beautiful smile!
The clear aligners used in Invisalign are made of a smooth, comfortable, invisible plastic that you simply wear over your teeth. The series of aligners gently move your teeth according to your treatment plan. You change your aligners every two weeks until your treatment is completed. Generally, you come to the office every six weeks for a check up with the dentist. Doesn't that sound easy?
First of all, your aligners are clear so they look invisible. Sure the people closet to you may notice them, but others probably won't.
Certainly you remember the old bracket and wire system of braces? Do you also remember all the pain associated with those? None of that exists with Invisalign. Your teeth may be a bit sensitive when you first start or when you switch aligners but for people that is a minor temporary nuisance; nothing like the excruciating pain for days or weeks with traditional braces.
Additionally, your clear aligners can come out in the event of special events or important meetings. Since your aligners come out, that means cleaning your teeth will be as easy as ever…along with that all important flossing of your teeth! Not to mention check ups every six weeks. Why wouldn't you prefer Invisalign over traditional braces?
The benefits are many. Here are just a few…
At our office, our Invisalign cost is very competitive. If you are interested in this treatment for you or a family member, we encourage you to set up a complimentary consultation. Come meet our team, get your questions answered and we can give you your Invisalign options and prices! (702) 735-3284
Helpful post,I have Invisalign and I am very happy with my Invisalign results because they are less visible & removable for sports and eating.

There's more violence in Darfur now, not less | LettersDarfur May 2, 2017, Comments Off
Regarding the letter from the Sudanese ambassador, Khalid Mustafa, stating that violence in Darfur is much reduced (Letters, 17 April), I find this dismaying and far from reality. As a survivor of the Darfur genocide, I – like millions of Darfuris – long for peace, but not the fictional peace portrayed by Mr Mustafa and his government to re-establish international relations or end its self-imposed isolation. The trouble in Darfur has never been about the fighting between rebel and Sudanese forces. It's about the Sudanese government's systematic burning of villages, slaughter of innocent citizens and orders for the rape of women and girls – acts resulting in the international criminal court's indictment of President al-Bashir and others
Actually, violence has increased in 2016 and 2017, including allegations, brought by credible sources, of chemical attacks and rape. Attacks have been perpetrated by Sudanese armed forces, including the Janjaweed and Rapid Support Forces, against helpless internally displaced people. Just this past week, a camp was burned down.

Money Bombs Away
The donors who poured millions into Ron Paul's presidential campaign coffers aren't done yet. On Saturday, libertarian financier and commentator Peter Schiff raised more than $200,000 in a 24-hour « money bomb » as he continues to explore a bid for the Republican nomination to run against Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.). Having now collected more than $790,000 in campaign contributions since mid-July, the Ron Paul Republican Schiff is competitive financially with the frontrunners for the GOP nomination.
Schiff's fundraising haul wasn't the only reason libertarian-leaning Republicans had to cheer last week. Rand Paul, the ophthalmologist son of the 11-term Texas congressman and former presidential candidate, announced he was going to run for the Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Jim Bunning (R-KY).
As Ron Paul Republicans have slowly been making inroads within the party structure, Congressman Paul himself has been gaining in influence over the GOP. Every Republican in the House is a now a co-sponsor of his bill to audit the Federal Reserve.
Even on issues of war and peace, Paul isn't always in the minority anymore. A handful of conservatives who supported the Iraq war, like Congressman Roscoe Bartlett (R-Md.), have joined him in questioning President Obama's Afghanistan escalation. All but five Republicans voted with Paul against the supplemental funding of Iraq and Afghanistan, including the entire leadership. They haven't suddenly become noninterventionists — the issue for most Republicans was extraneous spending, not the wars themselves — but it is nevertheless a major departure from the party's stance under President Bush.

Synopsis: My name is Gwen Frost, and I go to Mythos Academy; a school of myths, magic and warrior whiz kids, where even the lowliest geek knows how to chop off somebody's head with a sword and Logan Quinn, the hottest Spartan guy in school, also happens to be the deadliest. But lately, things have been weird, even for Mythos. First, mean girl Jasmine Ashton was murdered in the Library of Antiquities. Then, someone stole the Bowl of Tears, a magical artifact that can be used to bring about the second Chaos War. You know, death, destruction and lots of other bad, bad things. Freaky stuff like this goes on all the time at Mythos, but I'm determined to find out who killed Jasmine and why; especially since I should have been the one who died...
Thoughts: So first off... Thank you to Erica from The Book Cellar for this fantastic recommendation because I absolutely loved this book. It was everything I was expecting and more! Once I started I honestly couldn't get enough of this book. The world is amazing. Mythos Academy is amazing. The characters are all brilliant in their own way. I absolutely loved Gwen right from the start and her story is purely addicting.
So the romance part... yeah well there isn't too much. Well, I take that back. There is a good amount of romance I just think most of it happens between the secondary characters. Which wasn't necessarily a bad thing, I think it was a smart move on Jennifer's part to not have Gwen rush into a hot and heavy romance knowing there's so much more ahead. That being said there is still Carson, who I absolutely loved and of course our hero hunk-a-sexy-boy Logan. Unf, I love that spartan and want so much more of him! He's one of those super strong bad boys yet you know there's so much more lurking beneath his exterior. And plus, with a story so good who needs a strong story line? There's a kick-ass main character.
Overall this story just flows so perfectly. Touch Of Frost is one of those books where you just HAVE to know what's coming next. It's thrilling and mysterious yet at the same time there's so many laughs. It's one of those books where you love every character for different reasons. Take Daphne for example... I thought she was going to be one of those characters I was going to have to hate, yet I ended up loving her in the end. That being said, the ending was definitely intense. I read this book from beginning to end without stopping and instantly bought book two. Loved, loved, loved it!

"We are in the process of reviewing the plans, so those reviews will hopefully be conducted within the next month to two months and they do anticipate to start construction this spring," development services manager Patrick Zenner said.
Since 2004, developers have waited for improved economic conditions to take action on the property. A lack of consistant official documents delayed progress as well.
The City Council is expected to decide a final outcome of the commission's recomendation by April.

Textron Financial Corp.'s recent decision to bail out of the golf lending business will reverberate through the industry for some time to come. Even though Textron in recent years had reduced its lending activity in golf (as had other national lenders such as Capmark and GE Real Estate), the move is expected to impact both golf course sales and refinancing.
Experts now predict that the only way deals get done will be if the seller is willing to carry at least a portion of the note. You may see an occasional local banker making funds available for a buyer, but that will be the exception, not the rule. And buyers now will have to put up additional equity up front, brokers say.
What impact do you think Textron's decision will have on the golf finance industry? Will there be fewer course sales? Will difficulties in refinancing mean more bankruptcy filings or distressed sales? Could a new wave of buyers emerge? What will happen to golf course prices, given the uncertainty of the national (and international) economy? Is a golf course still a viable investment under any circumstances in this economic climate?
I think GECC and First
Permalink Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on 2/25/2009
I think GECC and First National are still doing deals. We closed our loan with First National so I assume they are still doing deals. Textron sorry to see them go cause we like EZ Go but will now use Club cart with a lease

Editors Note:
Check out our new website The Better Mixer for an up to date list of the best ginger beers. You'll also be able to leave your own rating, write a glowing review, or rant for the world to see.
Birthdays are a big deal at Kiva. Especially among our Product and User Experience Team, they've evolved as an opportunity to celebrate the fun personality quirks of each team member. As readers of this blog will know, my particular quirk is a fondness for ginger beer. So when my birthday arrived, the team skipped the cake and ice cream, opting instead for a gathering with ginger beer, limes and dark rum. This stellar event was organized as homage to the tastings 2 Out of Three has conducted over the past few years. Six different ginger beers were grouped into tasting stations where participants could write a review and rate each product on a scale of 1 to 10. Also included were the necessary ingredients for a Dark 'n' Stormy: organic limes, ice, and Gosling's Dark Rum.
Due to bureaucratic red tape and a lack of judging criteria we can't quality this event as an "official" ginger beer tasting. But with such an enthusiastic panel of tasters and a stack of memorable comments, I felt compelled to publish the results of this gathering, if for no other reason than to better educate you, the ginger beer buying public.

Do CBD-Infused Creams, Oils and Other Products Really Work?
Those with chronic, deep-seated pain from inflammatory conditions often find relief with topical CBD creams, oils and other formulations. Learn more about CBD and ways it can combat pain.
CBD – or cannabidiol – is one phytochemical of the cannabis plant that's infused into oils, creams and other formulations for pain relief.
People who use CBD to relieve pain include those with chronic, deep-seated pain stemming from inflammatory conditions, as well as those with neuropathic pain, muscle pain or post-surgical pain.
Experts on this topic say that anyone in any type or degree of pain would be a great candidate for CBD, as most pain is due to inflammation.
This article takes a comprehensive look at the use of CBD specifically for pain relief. We've obtained input from three experts on this topic, including a Medical Doctor, a Certified Herbalist and a company owner that works with the nation's top naturopathic physicians for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
We cover a range of sub-topics, including the uses and benefits of CBD, how CBD relieves pain, potential side effects, myths about CBD and other related factors.
Keep in mind that this article is not intended as medical advice. Before you try any product containing CBD, talk to your medical provider, first.
|Table of Contents:
What Is CBD?
Simply put, CBD is one phytochemical of the cannabis plant.
"There are over 500 individual plant constituents in the plant, and CBD is one just of them – THC is another," explained Daena Horner, a Certified Herbalist with Whole Body Herbs and assistant manager at Capitol Drugs in West Hollywood, California.
Horner has been working with plant-based medicine for more than a decade, and CBD/hemp has been a part of her toolkit for a number of years. Capitol Drugs has been carrying CBD products for the last three years with great feedback.
When people refer to just the CBD, with no mental high attached, they are actually referring to what is legally distinct from marijuana and called "hemp" – legally defined as having less than .3% of THC content, the part of the plant that gets someone "high," Horner noted.
THC, well known as the chemical component found in cannabis flowers, produces a psychoactive high when inhaled or ingested, explained Dr. Jean Talleyrand, founder and Chief Medical Officer of MediCann in Oakland, California, and co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of The Clinical Endocannabinoid System Consortium in San Diego, California.
Dr. Talleyrand has been involved in the medical cannabis Industry for fourteen years. During that time, MediCann-affiliated physicians have performed more than 300,000 evaluations of patients using cannabis for medical purposes.
Two years ago, Talleyrand co-founded a non-profit clinical research consortium for the study of the Endocannabinoid System. Their flagship program, The Dosing Project, is an observational study designed to determine dosage in milligrams per kilogram body weight of cannabis products currently being used for specific medical conditions. Dr. Talleyrand recently released the first results of their study on smoked cannabis flower for pain and sleep at the 2018 Emerald Scientific Conference in San Diego.
"CBD, or cannabidiol, is THC's sibling chemical," Dr. Talleyrand said. "They are both produced from the same precursor chemical, CBG or cannabigerol."
CBD vs. THC
A cannabis plant will either produce THC or CBD based on its genetic makeup, similar to how a carnation might be either red or white, Dr. Talleyrand said.
"As well, the determining gene sometimes expresses both THC and CBD at the same time, similar to how a carnation might be pink," Dr. Talleyrand noted.
Unlike THC, CBD does not produce a psychoactive high.
"Similar to THC, CBD reduces inflammation, pain, anxiety, in addition to several other important medical activities," Dr. Talleyrand said.
Historically, most cannabis growers cultivated cannabis for the psychoactive high, he said. "Plants containing CBD were immediately thrown away as duds," Dr. Talleyrand said.
He noted the case of a little girl named Charlotte with Dravet's Syndrome, a rare epilepsy disorder. Her use of CBD to virtually stop her seizures was exposed by former Surgeon General Sunjay Gupta, M.D. and CNN.
"CBD became popular as patients realized benefits from the cannabis plant without getting high," Dr. Talleyrand said. "Chemically, CBD acts differently than THC. If the endocannabinoid system were an engine, THC would be the gas to the engine and CBD would be the oil to the engine."
CBD Uses and Benefits
Mainly, CBD is an anti-inflammatory, which means it will have great pain reducing properties, said Tj Schoenborn, owner of LuZa Oil, located in both Colorado and Wisconsin.
"But what should not be overlooked is that fact that inflammation not only causes pain but a host of other health conditions have been shown to be caused from inflammation," Schoenborn said.
Schoenborn's company has been in the CBD and hemp industry as growers, extractors, and manufactures for nearly three years, and works with some the nation's top naturopathic physicians for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
Cannabidiol is non-psychoactive, and produces many beneficial effects through multiple pathways, he said.
"While we cannot make medical claims, full spectrum CBD rich hemp medicines are often recommended by progressive physicians in the treatment of nerve damage, psychosis, inflammatory conditions, AIDS, chronic pain, diabetes, epilepsy, cancer, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, bone disease and age-related disorders such as Alzheimer's and dementia, among others," Schoenborn said.
Anecdotally, CBD has been used for pain, inflammation, seizures, cancer, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis Spasmodic Dysphonia – and even alopecia, Dr. Talleyrand said.
"Whether all these conditions are truly helped by CBD or the excitement of a new treatment is creating a placebo effect is uncertain," Dr. Talleyrand noted. "Good clinical studies are necessary to truly determine efficacy. The Clinical Endocannabinoid System Consortium is one of very few organizations in the world that has begun clinical studies by launching The Dosing Project."
Do CBD Pain Relief Products Really Work?
"Everyone is different, but many of our client base who have tried our salves containing hemp oil would give an enthusiastic yes," Horner said.
As a physician and scientist, Dr. Talleyrand relies on formal clinical studies to inform which products "really work."
"Since there have been no formal clinical studies on topical pain relief creams, I wouldn't make that claim," Dr. Talleyrand said. "However, I have evaluated many patients that use topical creams containing both THC or CBD who report pain relief."
It's important to note that the way the product is made is as important as the active ingredient in determining efficacy, Dr. Talleyrand emphasized.
"Some products allow CBD to penetrate the skin better than others," he said. "Some products are made to adhere to skin better than others. The way a product is therefore formulated is a key aspect of its potential efficacy."
While Schoenborn can't speak on behalf of anyone else's products, he said that LuZa CBD creams use a full spectrum hemp extract along with 23 other essential oils.
"That being said we have gotten amazing results for localized pain," Schoenborn said. "It is important for people to understand that if they are looking to achieve systemic anti-inflammation that a sublingual oil would provide better results."
How Does CBD Relieve Pain?
According to Dr. Talleyrand, current views describe CBD working in three basic ways.
It attaches to a vanilloid type pain receptor and essential blocks the transmission of pain signals.
It attaches to the 5HT1A receptor which also binds serotonin and reduces anxiety. "Reducing anxiety improves pain relief," Dr. Talleyrand said.
Finally, it potentiates the Endocannabinoid system by inhibiting degradation enzymes, essentially making endocannabinoids more effective. "That is likely one of the ways it reduces inflammation," Dr. Talleyrand said.
CBD works in a specific system of the body called the endocannabinoid system, Horner explained.
"Think of it like the immune system in that it isn't just certain organs, like the digestive system, but placed throughout the body," Horner said. "Various organs and points in the body have receptor sites for CBD to plug into. By filling in the body's empty receptors seeking CBD, often in the inflamed areas of the body, the result in regards to pain is that it is reduced."
Horner noted that according to a 2013 review published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, hemp/CBD has been shown to act as an anti-inflammatory.
"Often inflammation is a source of pain," Horner said.
CBD Topical Forms for Pain Relief
Topical CBD can be applied through lotions, creams, salves or patches, Dr. Talleyrand said.
"The thicker the preparation, the longer it lasts on the skin and presumably the more effective the product," Dr. Talleyrand explained. "The patch, of course, would last the longest. Because many products have yet to be scientifically vetted, I hesitate to recommend one type over another."
Horner's store offers a few versions from different companies – some with a whole hemp extract, others using a more concentrated extraction, and others still combined with additional herbs working synergistically with hemp.
There are many forms of delivery of CBD, Schoenborn said, including oils and suppositories.
"It is important for people to understand that if they are looking to achieve systemic anti-inflammation that a sublingual oil would in our opinion provide best results," Schoenborn said.
CBD Potential Side Effects
One of the reasons Horner loves offering CBD/hemp in a topical form is: "I have yet to see side effects. If there is a reaction, it is often due to additional ingredients in the formula."
In Dr. Talleyrand's experience with those who use CBD, headache, dizziness, and drowsiness are some of the reported side effects.
The consumer should consider the filler or base ingredients, Dr. Talleyrand recommended.
"DMSO is a skin penetrant used in some topical products and may cause a rash," Dr. Talleyrand said. "Water-based preparations do not mix well with the active ingredient and easily wipe off the skin."
Schoenborn noted that, if taking internally, some people can feel a bit tired in the beginning.
"But outside of having an allergy to hemp there are no serious side effects that have been documented," Schoenborn said.
As an herbalist, Horner would love to see this attention and validation given to many herbs that are known to be effective but have not gotten the interest or funding from the scientific medical community.
"The side effects of CBD are most evident when it is combined with THC also naturally occurring in the cannabis plant," Horner said. "By taking the hemp version of the plant, or using topical versions, these side effects are often reduced to negligible."
CDB Hype and Myths
Of course, because CBD is derived from cannabis, there's a lot of hype and myths about it. According to Dr. Talleyrand, there is negative and positive hype around all cannabis-based products.
"Cannabis has been used for thousands of years without causing major harm," Dr. Talleyrand said. "However, it is not a cure-all. Approach the product and your ailment as a unique situation. Start at low doses and increase slowly."
Some might think that CBD gets you "high" – but in fact, it does not, Horner said. "The same plant with higher amounts of THC is the cause of psychoactive properties causing users to get high," Horner explained.
Most scientists agree that there is no psychoactive high to CBD, Dr. Talleyrand said. "It does create relaxation and a sense of well-being," he noted.
Schoenborn agreed that one of biggest myths about CBD is that it will cause someone to get "high."
"That is completely false," Schoenborn said. "Some people have gotten a feeling of 'high' but that isn't the 'high' that someone would get if they smoked marijuana – rather it would be better described as they now feel good and balanced due to the serotonin release that CBD causes."
Dr. Talleyrand added that the biggest myth is that CBD is legal to be sold because it comes from hemp.
"The reality is that the fiber-type hemp plant produces a very low level of CBD and requires aggressive measures to extract the chemical component," Dr. Talleyrand explained. "As well, the DEA confirmed that any chemical produced by the Cannabis plant falls under schedule I designation, which includes CBD."
Tips for Buying CBD for Pain Relief
As with any product, make sure that the manufacturer has been making the product for some time and that their results are consistent, Dr. Talleyrand advised.
"The cannabis industry is still in its infancy and many products are being made in someone's kitchen," Dr. Talleyrand said. "A product should be evaluated for its packaging, shelf life, and variance."
Schoenborn said the most important thing for the consumer to look for is third party testing on the product.
"What that will show is not only the strength but also the purity of the product," Schoenborn said. "If a company does not provide a third party testing for their hemp extract I would not advise purchasing or using that product."
As far as where to purchase CBD products is concerned, it depends on the source, Dr. Talleyrand said.
"You can buy CBD products at some health food stores, although, the DEA frowns on it," Dr. Talleyrand noted. "Or you can go to a cannabis dispensary if you are a state that has medical cannabis – that requires a doctor visit."
Does a person need a medical marijuana prescription to buy CBD cream? Yes and no, according to Schoenborn.
"If the CBD cream is coming from hemp with 0.3% THC or less, then the answer is no, but if the product contains more than 0.3% THC then yes," Schoenborn said.
How to Use CBD-Infused Products
According to Horner, it has a cumulative effect in the body, meaning, try it for a few days, using it more regularly through the day if there are no effects.
"If there are no results in two weeks, it is likely not effective for what you are looking for," Horner said.
To this point, there has not been one documented case of anyone overdosing on any hemp or marijuana product, Schoenborn said. "So the products are very safe to use and self-administer."
Dr. Talleyrand added that although CBD is readily available and can be purchased online or through health food stores, a medical consultation by a medical cannabis specialist is the best way to approach CBD.
Having realistic expectations about the use of CBD is also important. Just like with any new medicine, it is best to understand it just may not be what your body needs to feel better, Horner advised.
"Just try it," Horner said. "If it doesn't give relief, that information is still valuable to you and your care provider."
Dr. Talleyrand noted that until a good clinical study can be applied to these products, trial and error methods are the only way to evaluate whether something will work well or not.
Results can vary greatly from person to person, Schoenborn said.
"Some people get complete relief as other may get partial relief," Schoenborn noted. "A lot of that can depend on how bad the pain and or inflammation is and also that person's tolerance to pain is."
What Science Says About CBD
Dr. Talleyrand wrote a document on CBD that was produced as a requested comment to the FDA. The paper was written on behalf of his nonprofit, The Clinical Endocannabinoid System Consortium, which is designed to develop a deeper understanding of the endocannabinoid system, apply that understanding to clinical studies and contribute to the emerging public health dialogue about the role of cannabis in health care.
In his conclusion, Dr. Talleyrand noted that CBD likely is the most well-studied constituent of cannabis second to THC.
He stated that what is currently missing is a clinical study informing us dosage and therapeutic range per indication and that state medical cannabis laws have allowed physicians to observe patients using cannabis in various forms.
"I have seen a four-year-old girl with a rare seizure disorder change the course of her life after her parents started treating her with a high CBD type extract," Dr. Talleyrand noted. "I have talked to multiple seven-year survivors of Stage IV pancreatic and breast cancers."
His paper also stated that CBD may increase cancer survival rates, reduce pain, reduce inflammation and reduce anxiety.
"Some of its medical uses are urgent in that they have immediate life or death consequences," Dr. Talleyrand noted.
He added that cannabis is a controversial plant due to a social debate about its psycho-activity and other negative effects.
"However, the plant produces many chemicals, which are not psychoactive yet are assigned guilt by association," Dr. Talleyrand stated. "What is clear is that there are many more patients that could be helped as we learn more. We therefore strongly recommend, based on their medical usefulness and low potential for abuse, that…CBD be removed from the Schedule I category."
Final Thoughts on CBD-Infused Products
As this market grows, there will start to be more and more companies trying to cash in, Schoenborn said.
"The consumers need to be careful [about] choosing a CBD product," Schoenborn emphasized.
"You should look for a company that backs up their products with third-party testing, a company that you can call and talk to the owners and formulators of the products so you can get answers about the product and possible usage," Schoenborn advised. Additionally, select a company that produces a true full spectrum product with a complete profile of cannabinoids and terpenes – not just a CBD isolate.
Dr. Talleyrand recommends CBD to patients with all types of pain, including neuropathic pain, muscle pain, post-surgical pain.
"I predict that CBD will become the first line of treatment for chronic pain due to an excellent profile of minimal adverse effects," Dr. Talleyrand said.
Horner believes so many plants, when understood as well as this particular one, hold elements to help bring people back into a healthy state of being and thinking and moving.
"If trying CBD/hemp makes people believers in alternative medicine than I welcome the newcomers," Horner said.

The PC Police are on the march. The target this year for their outrage is the Edmund Pettus Bridge, named for Southern hero General Edmund Pettus, of Selma. A black woman named Brandi Hater, er, Hatter, has started a petition to change the name of General Edmund Pettus Bridge to something more reflective of the "equality" that the 1960s revolutionaries earned it. The Hater complains,
Unfortunately, the bridge is STILL named after a man who served as Grand Dragon of the Alabama Ku Klux Klan, was a Confederate General, and was later elected as a United States Senator.
The last part is the scary bit- U.S. Senator. Just those words send shivers down my spine. That other stuff- that he would risk life and limb in defense of his home in war and peace, and put his neck out on the line to ensure the political stability and dominance of Alabamians in Alabama – that sounds laudable, not embarrassing.
So far Hater's petition has 130,000 signatures in support. The question is: what are true Alabamians going to do in response?

ODB is an open source object-relational mapping (ORM) system for C++. It allows you to persist C++ objects to a relational database without having to deal with tables, columns, or SQL and without manually writing any of the mapping code.
Major new features in the 2.4.0 release:
- Support for bulk operations in Oracle and SQL Server. Bulk operations can be used to persist, update, or erase a range of objects using a single database statement execution which often translates to a significantly better performance.
- Ability to join and load one or more complete objects instead of, or in addition to, a subset of their data members with a single SELECT statement execution (object loading views).
- Support for specifying object and table join types in views (LEFT, RIGHT, FULL, INNER, or CROSS).
- Support for calling MySQL and SQL Server stored procedures.
- Support for defining persistent objects as instantiations of C++ class templates.

Vital Adds Fourth Doctor Appointment Booking Partner
Vitals, a website for reviewing and finding doctors, has partnered with DocASAP, maker of an online appointment scheduling platform for patients. Vitals will include DocASAP's appointment booking feature on its profiles of physicians who are DocASAP users.
This is Vitals' fourth deal with an appointment booking company. The first was a partnership with EMR maker drchrono. In 2011, Vitals' parent company MDx Medical acquired appointment booking company HealthLeap. Then in 2013, Vitals partnered with HealthPost to offer online scheduling on all profiles for physicians use HealthPost's scheduling offering.
"We're pleased to be working with DocASAP to offer a better, more efficient way to book appointments with doctors," Jeff Cutler, Vitals' executive vice president, said in a statement. "Vitals strives to improve the patient experience. The relationship with DocASAP allows us to offer our 13 million monthly visitors greater value and convenience with online scheduling."
DocASAP will also offer Vitals' PatientLink, a service that aims to deliver more patients to providers through branded physician directories and a stronger presence on Vitals sites, to providers who use the DocASAP scheduling platform.
According to the company's website, Vitals PatientLink has connected 50,000 patients to doctors through the program.
DocASAP graduated from Blueprint Health, a mentor-focused health incubator that offers co-working space in New York City and is also a member of TechStars' Global Accelerator Network. Through the program DocASAP received mentorship from big name companies that include Humana, Verizon, and Aetna and $20,000 in funding for participating.
While Vitals currently has an app for iOS, DocASAP has plans to launch an iOS and Android app.
This partnership pits Vitals against other companies in the space that also offer both appointment booking and physician locators. One company, ZocDoc, added a remote check-in feature taking it a step beyond appointment bookings. Another, EHR-maker Practice Fusion, launched a patient-facing appointment booking and physician review website, called Patient Fusion, last year.
Vitals also recently raised $22 million in third round funding to improve its consumer offering.

helenschki liked a post in a topic: Water fasting experience?
Oh no without water I think you won't last very long :). Yes the cucumber tasted great, but still, food was a bit if a disappointment, although I did start to eat like the fast never happpened afterwards. But it got me thinking of how we project feelings on food, how we use food to avoid being bored or feel certain things, stress-relief etc. And when you do not have food or other distractions such as drugs or smartphones, to distract you, you are forced to be present and face whatever you are feeling. It is very hard. Other hings I experienced during the fast was that my skin became very clear and soft. And I now know that I can last very long without food or coffee, it is not a physical need but a mental one. Oh and I do crossfit and of course got much weaker after the fast but regained the strength quite quickly. I did not do crossfit during the fast but I did attend a yoga class on day 2 of the fast and it was the best yoga class I have ever been to. We were outside under a sky sprinkled with stars and i was simply very very present. It was lovely. '

Oh yogafire I never saw this reply, sorry. yes I did do it and it went well. But I do recommend everyone to not work during a water fast. I entered ketosis within 24 hours and the first two days were very hard. Most difficult was the coffee or notbeing able to drink it it gave me such headache. I did not take any supplements during the fast, only drank water with lemon and pink salt. I was tired and very bored, but when I needed the energy I got it. When i was just sitting or lying down, I felt very very tired. I had my last meal on Sunday night and broke the fast on friday morning with some cucumber (I stopped a bit earlier than planned as on the Friday morning i almost fell over). It was mainly a mental struggle that taught me a lot, especially what importance with give food in our lives. I had no problem at all breaking the fast, stomach was completely fine. It was a good experience, although hard. And it somehow left me a bit disappointed with food. During fast I fantisised about all the food i wanted to eat and how wonderful it would feel, but when i started eating again I felt disappointed "was that it?" I remember thinking to myself. I checked my vitals during the fast, blood pressure was ok, pulse a bit high, temperature slightly higher than normal and blood sugar stable, lowest was around 3.7. I lost almost 5 kilo but gained 4 of them back quickly (water weight).
helenschki replied to LarryD517's topic in General Yoga DiscussionWell I would say to all teachers, please tell people to try to be on time, and not dropping in after 20 minutes. To my teacher who recently moved away I would like to tell her that I really listened to her during class and took it all in, often carrying it with me for days and her advice often helped me to improve my practice. Even though it usually took some days for it all to sink in. And that, although we did not interact much at all and I am not the chatty person before, after or during class, she became a part of my practice and I cried in the car after her last class.
brenskip55 liked a post in a topic: Hypermobility
helenschki posted a topic in Wellness, etc.I was wondering if anyone here has embarked on a water fasting (meaning only water for x number of days). I read this 21 day water fasting experiment journal http://personalexcellence.co/blog/fasting/ and got so inspired that I plan to do a 5 day water fast starting second week of December. I am paleo/low-carb and plan to reach ketosis (eating a ketogenic diet and check with urine sticks) before I start fasting so I do not have to waste days for the body to adjust. This will be no problem as I have been in ketosis several times before. The easiest way to reach ketosis is through a combination of intermittent fasting, eating a diet consisting of 80% fat and the rest as much protein as possible and as little carbs as possible. Usually I eat avocados, eggs, fish, chicken, leafy greens and drink coffe with coconut oil and sometimes butter. This in combination with high-intensive crossfit ususally brings me into ketosis within 48 hours. And ketosis feeels gooood. I also plan to cut down on coffee as I do not want to battle caffeine withdrawal symptoms during the fast. This will be a tough one, already cut my consumption from 4 cups/day to 1 and I feel it (although I must say, I sleep much better). I need to go to the office as usual and on day 4 there is an Embassy reception I cannot say no to, but I really have no idea what my energy levels will be like. Which makes me nervous. Thanks to my diet I have a very stable blood sugar but I am still a bit nervous and preparation is key when it comes to fasting. So, anyone here done something similar and could give me some advice?

Here some more information: http://www.ketotic.org/2012/05/keto-adaptation-what-it-is-and-how-to.html
Hi thanks! Well basically on a ketogenic diet you keep the amount of carbs to under 20g-day so cheese, cream, nuts etc is allowed. However to reach a state of ketosis and get this kind of high that people who experience it are talking about, you try to zero out carbs almost completely and limit protein as well (the fat in your diet should keep you full). Dairy is known for disturbing ketosis and nuts are sometimes blamed for triggering cravings and so on. So a good snack would be keto balls (butter cocoa powder, coffee, coconut flakes etc) or salami or similar. Thanks for your tips, yeah I eat a lot of eggs. problem with the rest is that I live in southern Africa with import restrictions on food so I have to really go back to basics.

helenschki posted a topic in Ask a yoga questionI guess I'm not the only intermediate student focusing on arm balances and poses which look cool and paying less attention to master the poses that appear easy, but takes time to get a physical grip on. But anyhow I got my mind set on the peacock pose but no matter how many step by step instructions I follow I can't do it. After almost breaking my nose several times I admit it I'm not ready yet. So my question is how to "prepare" the body for this pose? Not how to get into it but to achieve the whatever body parts need to be strengthen or opened. I guess. .core? Perhaps balance and eh..? I would be so so happy to be able to do this one.
Hey I thought I had replied weeks ago must have missed to press post button. Thanks for the good advice and for sharing.
helenschki replied to mimisouth's topic in General Yoga DiscussionI do 10-15 minutes of yoga every morning and add a 5 minute breathing meditation if I have time. Believe me, the focus it gives you and the vitality you feel will be worth spending time on. For a while I suffered from wifi-issues and just did a couple of sun salutations but once I had access to good Internet I started live-streaming again. I have a couple of favourites on youtube (simply search for 10 min of morning yoga) and Candance has several videos that I use (for example 10 min yoga for neck and shulders when I feel sore, 10 min of morning yoga and breathing). She also recently posted a 15 min fullbody video I am eager to try.

helenschki posted a topic in Wellness, etc.Hi everyone After years of going turning more and more paleo, and of short periods dabbling with atkins and low carb high fat I am quite deidicated to keto adaptation and reach ketosis. I bought the keto testing strips and managed an almost purple by zeroing out the carbs for a couple of days, eat plenty of fat and moderate amount of protein. typical day: morning: bullet-proof coffee, lunch: one chcken leg, dinner; fried eggs and bacon. Of course I experienced brain fog and a weird tummy, cramps in legs and difficulties sleeping. But after a while I also noticed a mental strength and focus and I did better than ever during crossfit and yoga passes. And I lost some weight (probably mainly water). Then I went to Europe and spent considerable amonts of time on trains and planes and well....time to get on that ketosis bus again. Anyhow, low carb high fat I have no problem with, if cheese and nuts are allowed I am good but I really want to reach that dark-purple ketosis state meaning my choises are very limited diet-wise and my biggest problem is the snacking. I need to snack or drink something tasty, it is my akilles heel. I should mention I am an ex-smoker and as a kid I thumb sucking was a great issues to my dentist. So it is not really the hunger or the cravings but most likely..bordeom or something. So any suggestions on how to handle snack cravings while trying to phase into ketosis? Zucchini-chips someone said.
helenschki replied to helenschki's topic in General Yoga DiscussionOh after weeks of searching I finally found my class at the back of a cultural centre. We are outside in a serene setting but under a roof if that makes sense. Very mixed group all quite experienced (I have like a 70 yr old lady next to me she is awesome) not too much chatter. The teacher is great always giving options on how to approach a pose in a less or more adanced way. And there's music .
Oh thank you so much, life is as it is and difficult times make you appreciate the good ones even more. I think that's a great advice re focus on where emotions are stored I'm gonna look for some heart opening flows .

Question: "Do you have eternal life?"Have you made a decision for Christ because of what you have read here? If so, please click on the "I have accepted Christ today" button below.
The Bible presents a clear path to eternal life. First, we must recognize that we have sinned against God: "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). We have all done things that are displeasing to God, which makes us deserving of punishment. Since all our sins are ultimately against an eternal God, only an eternal punishment is sufficient. "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23).
However, Jesus Christ, the sinless (1 Peter 2:22), eternal Son of God became a man (John 1:1,14) and died to pay our penalty. "God demonstrates His love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). Jesus Christ died on the cross (John 19:31-42), taking the punishment that we deserve (2 Corinthians 5:21). Three days later He rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4), proving His victory over sin and death. "In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead" (1 Peter 1:3).
By faith, we must change our mindset regarding Christ - who He is, what He did, and why - for salvation (Acts 3:19). If we place our faith in Him, trusting His death on the cross to pay for our sins, we will be forgiven and receive the promise of eternal life in heaven. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son so that anyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16). "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9). Faith alone in the finished work of Christ on the cross is the only true path to eternal life! "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9).
If you want to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, here is a sample prayer. Remember, saying this prayer or any other prayer will not save you. It is only trusting in Christ that can save you from sin. This prayer is simply a way to express to God your faith in Him and thank Him for providing for your salvation. "God, I know that I have sinned against you and deserve punishment. But Jesus Christ took the punishment that I deserve so that through faith in Him I could be forgiven. I place my trust in You for salvation. Thank You for Your wonderful grace and forgiveness - the gift of eternal life! Amen!"

Arlington Lawn Care: How to Best Care and Maintain Your Lawn Garden
A beautiful lawn garden can be a source of simple pleasures, a place you can call your own, spend time with your family, enjoy the early morning sunshine, play with your kids and pets, and simply relax from work and school. When it comes to lawn care, the essential things you need to do include mowing, aerating, watering, and fertilizing, which can help your lawn garden look beautiful and fresh. Fertilizer is considered a food for your lawn and the more you feed, the more it grows. If you live in the North, the best time is during fall and spring, whereas if you live in the south, feed in spring and summer. Timing is important because grasses need to be fed when they are actively growing.
It is important to aerate your lawn to loosen the soil and reduce thatch buildup. The best time to aerate your lawn is when the grass is actively growing and the soil is moist. The aerators will not be able to penetrate the soil deeply if the soil is hard and dry, that is why it is essential to water the lawn or wait for a good rain. Grub killers must be applied early summer because grubs are unnoticed until fall when there is obvious damage, making them difficult to control. It is important for your lawn garden to have occasional irrigation regardless of the place you live or the type of grass you have, to keep it healthy and green most especially in summer. Avoid afternoon watering because evaporation causes tremendous water loss, and avoid nighttime watering because it will cause too much moisture that leads to disease. Watering your garden lawn once or twice a week will make it drought tolerant as long as you wet the soil several inches down, and it will allow deep roots to develop unlike shallow irrigation.
Using the one-third rule, it is important to mow your lawn garden as needed to keep its beautiful look and healthy appearance. Weekly mowing is okay but you may need to mow your lawn every four to five days in spring when the growth of grass is vigorous. Don't cut the grass more than one-third of its height. Don't worry if you can't find time to care for your lawn because you can simply hire a lawn specialist such as Arlington Lawn Care, specializing also in irrigation and landscaping.
