What Others Are Saying About Beehive Homes
Paline A. and Rosalinda S.
Dear BeeHive Staff,
BeeHive was our Mom's home for the last year and a half of her life. She always wanted to go home, an obvious impossibility, but was content with the friends she had made among the the residents and staff. She was given the respect and compassionate care that she deserved, even on her most difficult days.
My sister and I were often there and were always extended the utmost courtesy and assistance. The staff seemed to adopt us. toward the end when we were keeping a 24 hour vigil, all of the staff always made sure that we had something to eat and a place to sleep.
It was very clear that our Mother was much for than just a resident to all of you; you treated her as if she was your Grandmother. We were so appreciative that so many of you attended the funeral. that says so much about the wonderful people you are.
We will all be eternally grateful for all you have done.
The Wilks Family
Dear BeeHive Staff,
When we were looking for a place to take care of Richard, we toured numerous facilities. From the moment that we walked in your front door we knew that BeeHive was the place that we wanted him to stay and that you were the people that we wanted taking care of him. Time proved that we made the right decision.
You were kind, gentle, and attentive. You were all these things, not just to Richard but to all of us. You fed us when we were hungry and listened when we needed to talk. You told us the difficult truths when most people would have avoided the conversation. You were loving, which is the rarest of all things.
Thank you for helping us care for the man who cared for us for so many years. He was a Husband, Father, Grandfather, and Father-In-Law. He was everything to us. We are so grateful.
Melanie S.
Dear BeeHive Staff,
Margene was a resident at BeeHive since February 2016. She was reluctant as most are, but she found great comfort in the excellent care that she received over these many months.
We, as a family, want to let you know how much it helped us to trust that she was in a caring hands.
During her final few days and moments, you were there for my daughter and I. You cared for us and Margene. You showed at all times compassion and respect for her. We were truly blessed to have you caring for her and for us.
Thank you is not enough. We are so grateful to have had you all there everyday and night.
God bless

This is the next instalment in our bitesize blog series in which we hope to demystify some of the legal terms which are frequently used by family solicitors when giving legal advice and in the family courts environment.
Habitual Residence: This term is relevant when you are filling in a Divorce Petition. It is not actually defined in the statute books and therefore has created some legal argument in the past. Essentially, to describe yourself as 'habitually resident' in England or Wales, you must have a regular physical presence in the country (even if that presence is illegal!). Temporary absences will not prevent habitual residence. If a person is not habitually resident, they should look to see what their 'domicile' is. These terms are important when deciding if the court has has the jurisdiction to deal with the divorce or whether the divorcing couple actually have a choice as to where to issue divorce proceedings.
If you need more help or guidance about a family law matter, please contact one of the members of our family law team for more information on 0161 969 3131 or email@example.com

For the last few weeks, the Religious Right has been up in arms over the fact that President Obama has, on more than one occasion, omitted the phrase "endowed by their Creator" when citing the Declaration of Independence's language about all men being created equal and endowed with certain inalienable rights.
To Bryan Fischer, it was proof that President Obama was "deliberately stripping our Christian heritage from us right before our very eyes," while Bill Donohue was convinced it demonstrated that Obama believes that all rights stem from the states, just like in the Soviet Union.
Well, in four speeches over the last few days, Obama has included reference to the "Creator," so can we please put this latest right-wing conspiracy theory to rest:
On the campaign trail for Democrats in recent days, President Barack Obama said the word "Creator" when quoting the Declaration of Independence, although he omitted the word in several earlier speeches this year.
The Declaration of Independence says, "We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness."
In four speeches on Friday, Saturday and Monday, Obama cited the word "Creator."
You'd think the Religious Right would have learned a lesson after their last theory about Obama's secret plot to destroy Christianity turned out to be complete nonsense … but you'd be wrong.

After the ice bucket trend went viral, exploding all over Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and every kind of social media networking site imaginable, we've become sick of seeing everyone and anyone, from celebrities, to politicians, to child activists, to 'Karmnu ta Randu' next door pouring all kinds of cold liquids over themselves to look cool and posting their shrieking, screaming, yodeling videos online for all the world to applaud. People are finally starting to ask certain questions.
1. Are you really doing it to help someone in need, or for the narcissistic pleasure of promoting nothing but yourself? Slacktivism, is a term referring to what happens when a person makes believe that s/he is promoting a charity or cause, when in reality the issue is more about that individual feeling good about himself or herself and showing off.
If one thinks about it objectively, the ice bucket challenge originally was set up as an idea where one either had the choice of pouring a bucket of icy water over his or her head to promote awareness, or else donate a sum of money. The point however is, if out of 100 people, all 100 use the bucket, and no one donates at all, where will the ALS Association get its money to research Amyotrophic Schlerosis from?
By the way, if it's all about awareness, how many of these 'ice bucket' videos contain any actual information about what the disease is, why the money is needed, or how it will be used? Is it about awareness really, or about everyone patting himself on the back about how kind-hearted and cool he is?
2. The ALS Association supports testing on animals. While tens of celebrities, wanna-be celebrities, politicians, writers, etc, were being submerged and overwhelmed by the ice bucket mentality, ex-Baywatch star and life-long animal rights activist Pamela Anderson refused the 'challenge' after having delved a bit more on what was actually going on. On her Facebook page, she wrote that 'in recent experiments funded by the ASL Association, mice had holes drilled into their skulls and were infected with crippling illnesses. Monkeys had chemicals injected into their brains and backs and were later killed and dissected'. She ended her tirade by exhorting anyone who wanted to donate to do so to other non-animal testing charities
3. The Catholic Church in the US also spoke against the Ice Bucket Challenge since it is an organisation which supports embryonic stem cell research, which is against the teachings of the Catholic Church. Embryonic stem cells are cells derived from embryos developed 'in vitro'.
4. In its own official website the ASL Association admitted that only 27% of the money collected with the ice bucket challenge is actually used for research. The other 73% are used for expenditures accrued by the organisation, mainly training, community services, fundraising, and administration. That being said, are we really donating to help sick people, or to help ASL employees attend personal courses and finance work-related dinner parties?
5. The Wall Street Journal reported how, on August 22, residents of Pingdinshan in the province of Henan in China, raised a peaceful protest against the ice bucket challenge, holding empty red buckets over their heads and promoting the slogan 'Henan, please say no to the ice bucket challenge'. This, after earlier in the month, the province began suffering from an acute drought with people not having enough water to survive, as well as crops dying because of insufficient irrigation. Similar droughts are also being experienced in California and India. Not so funny wasting water when so much of the global population is literally dying of thirst, is it?
6. India's twist on the charity campaign is called the 'Rice Bucket Challenge'. This is not just a convenient pun – the rice bucket challenge consists of taking a bucket of rice, and simply donating it to those who have nothing to eat. Simple, direct and from the heart. The idea originated from an Indian journalist who, taking into account the drought, thought it was better to feed the hungry, than waste water the country did not have. This locally-tailored idea practically and tangibly helps those less in need without the need of third parties or the focus being on using such a stunt to gain popularity for one's self. At the most, one can always take a picture while donating the bucket of rice to the poor and hungry, and post that on Facebook. Interested to know more?

Africa has played a pivotal role in two of the world's most enduring and endearing modern romances. When screen goddess Elizabeth Taylor and her great love Richard Burton decided that they couldn't live without each other following their first divorce, they married for a second time at Kasane in Chobe National Park in Botswana, Liz posing with her flawless 70 carat pear-shaped diamond engagement ring and an adorable cheetah.
Thirty-five years later, in 2010, Prince William chose the rustic Rutundu Log Cabins (which are accessible only by helicopter or on foot) on the remote slopes of Mount Kenya to present long-time girlfriend Kate Middleton with Princess Diana's iconic sapphire and diamond engagement ring.
More recently, Go2Africa travellers Polly and Donny McKay celebrated their nuptials with a Masai-inspired celebration at Sarova Mara in Kenya, complete with warriors singing traditional songs and a 'good omen' rhino crossing their path on their way back to their honeymoon tent!
The wild spaces and endless skies of Africa remind you about what's important in life - a good reason why weddings and proposals are so popular here. In Africa, you are relieved of your daily worries and free to reconnect with what inspires you, so it's only natural for travellers to get back in touch with the fundamental human experience of love, respect and affection. It may well be all the fresh air that gives you the sudden insight that the person beside you is actually the perfect partner for you! Whatever it is, Africa overflows with romantic moments to share with the one you love.
Older couples and second-time-arounders top the list for travellers booking intimate weddings (often just the two of them) and combining the ceremony with a bucket-list vacation. After a lavish family wedding at home, other couples choose to mark their nuptials with a vacation ceremony or adventurous African honeymoon. More and more lodges are geared to facilitate these small celebrations and will happily arrange honeymoon suites, complete with bubbly on ice and a wedding cake to share in the glow of new love beneath an African sunset. Here are a few of our favourite places for small weddings in Africa:
#1 Bartholomeus Klip - Cape Winelands
If you prefer to being closer to a city like Cape Town without giving up the rural ambiance, a working farm like Bartholomeus Klip in the gorgeous country town of Riebeeck Kasteel is ideal. Located amid rolling fields of wheat, indigenous fynbos (a heather floral kingdom that is unique to the Western Cape in South Africa) and endangered renosterveld (a hardy indigenous vegetation - 'renoster' means rhino in the Afrikaans language), Bartholomeus Klip offers the rugged beauty of a rural setting within an hour's easy drive from Cape Town. Consider a posy of beautiful, feathery proteas – South Africa's national flower - for your bridal bouquet, picked fresh from your wedding location.
#2 Elsa's Kopje - Kenya
Lion lovers will want to head to Elsa's Kopje in Kenya's Meru National Park for their celebration. The lodge is named after Elsa, the orphaned lioness who was hand-reared by conservationist and novelist Joy Adamson. The lioness became a global icon for the rights of wild creatures in Joy's best-selling book - and hit movie - Born Free. Elsa's Kopje is built on the site of the Adamsons' original camp and infused with the tranquil spirit of a bygone era. Begin your wedded days with breakfast served in the midst of golden savannah after watching the sunrise on a thrilling dawn game drive, and welcome each magical evening soaking in your spacious tub with its endless views over the Meru plains.
#3 Asanja Africa Camp - Serengeti
The Wildebeest Migration has rightly been called one of Nature's most dramatic spectacles: hundreds of thousands of wildebeest journey across thousands of miles to reach fresh pastures. Along the way, calves are born, predators faced, and treacherous rivers crossed. It's a natural phenomenon that is much like the path of true love - it never runs smoothly, and there is a healthy dose of sour with the sweet! Asanja Africa Camp is perfectly poised on the Serengeti to make the most of the Migration. Each tented suite is named after a specific element of Maasai tradition - our favourite suite is Enkiama, the marriage ceremony tent. Weddings are extremely significant in Maasai culture and the tent is adorned with deep red hues to signify unity and stunning Imasaa, the beaded decorations made especially for weddings.
#4 Ngorongoro Crater Lodge - Tanzania
Ngorongoro Crater is a natural wonder that will take your breath away. The world's largest intact caldera from a long extinct volcano, Ngorongoro is home to about 26 000 wild creatures who live within the safety of the caldera walls. With a gentler climate than the surrounding plains, the crater floor is lush with pastures and mineral-rich springs. It is one of the few wild places in Africa where you are likely to see the Big 5 in a single game drive. At Ngorongoro Crater Lodge, wedding ceremonies take place on one of three decks, each with spectacular views over the crater below.
Nearby Lake Manyara is home to tree-climbing lions and the Lerai Forest is renowned for leopard sightings. What better place to forge a lifelong bond than in a setting that has been unchanged over millennia? Imagine saying 'I do' while standing on the rim of the crater, a Maasai guard of honour watching over you, and the natural beauty of the wilderness unfolding around you.
#5 Vamizi Casamina Villa - Mozambique
They say that couples who play together, stay together and Vamizi Island might be one of the ultimate playgrounds for divers, snorkellers and kayakers. A whale-shaped isle in Mozambique's Quirimbas Archipelago, Vamizi is drenched in sunshine and provides a sanctuary for samango monkeys, coconut crabs and over 110 bird species. Its tropical waters are home to one of the world's Top 10 dive sites: Neptune's Arm, where you swim through cathedrals of Gregorian coral with whales, dolphins, turtles and over 400 species of fish. After an elegant, barefoot ceremony on the beach, step over the threshold of your private villa with its plunge pool, outdoor tub and romantic beds wrapped in fluttering white mosquito nets. If you've ever dreamt of being cast away on a paradise island with the one you love (and a generous measure of world-class service), Vamizi is an ideal setting for you...
#6 Saruni Samburu - Kenya
The Samburu tribe has the tradition of young men giving large amounts of beads to young women as an indication of 'going steady' before a wedding ceremony. Like the Maasai, marriage is important to the Samburu who live in north-central Kenya. At Saruni Samburu, your ceremony will take place in an authentic Samburu village – known as a manyatta in Swahili – with the revered elders, the women and the askaris in taking part.
Like any journey, the help and advice of an Africa Safari Expert makes all the difference so chat about your expectations with your travel advisor and check the paperwork you'll require for your nuptials well ahead of departure. Making or renewing your vows is a moment you'll always treasure. Celebrating your love in an African setting means making moments you'll never forget.

Products with Drug Name Suffixes
ISMP's List of Products with Drug Name Suffixes includes selected proprietary names that contain a suffix, along with the meaning of the suffix.
Drug and biological products within a product line may utilize the existing trademark with the addition of a suffix to help identify products rather than propose an entirely different trademark. As an unintended consequence, the use of drug name suffixes may contribute to confusion and medication errors. Errors involving products with suffixes may lead to an incorrect dosing interval or the wrong drug being prescribed, dispensed or administered.
Through an unrestricted grant from the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), ISMP surveyed 23 companies that market U.S. prescription drug and biological products with names that contain a suffix. This document provides a list of drug and biological products, marketed by those 23 companies, whose names contain a suffix, along with meanings of the suffix.
Industry stakeholders and healthcare practitioners can use this list to increase their understanding of the labeled meanings of drug name suffixes and the particular product characteristics that they describe.

"Malicious Mayhem", known as "Enemy I Was Seeking" in the Japanese version, is the ninth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS anime. It first aired in Japan on July 12, 2017, and will air on Teletoon on September 29, 2018. It became available with official subtitles via Crunchyroll on the same day.
In order to obtain the program that removes the virus that infected Skye, Yusaku commences a Duel against Varis, with the AI, who is also known as Ai, as a wager. Using the Link Monsters he obtained in his previous Duels, Playmaker was able to destroy Varis' "Cracking Dragon". However, the back-and-forth Duel between them takes a new turn as Varis activates a shocking Skill!
Featured Duel: Playmaker vs. Varis
The Duel is conducted as a Speed Duel.
Turn 1: Varis
Varis pays 1000 LP to activate the Continuous Spell "Dragonoid Generator" (Varis: 4000 → 3000 LP). Now, up to twice per turn, Varis can Special Summon a "Dragonoid Token" during his Main Phase though he cannot Special Summon from his Extra Deck for the rest of the turn. Varis Special Summons 2 "Dragonoid Tokens" (300/300 each). Varis Tributes both "Dragonoid Tokens" to Tribute Summon "Cracking Dragon" (3000/0).
During the End Phase, the effect of "Dragonoid Generator" Special Summons "Dragonoid Tokens" to Playmaker's field equal to the number of "Dragonoid Tokens" Summoned by Varis this turn. Two "Dragonoid Tokens" (300/300 each) are Special Summoned to Playmaker's field. The effect of "Cracking Dragon" activates as a monster was Normal or Special Summoned, decreasing the ATK of the monster by 200 x its Level until the End Phase and inflicting the same amount of damage to Playmaker ("Dragonoid Tokens": 300 → 100/300; Playmaker: 4000 → 3600 LP).
Turn 2: Playmaker
Playmaker uses a "Dragonoid Token" to Link Summon "Link Spider" (1000/LINK-1/↓) to the Extra Monster Zone. Playmaker activates the effect of "Link Spider", Special Summoning a Level 4 or lower Normal Monster from his hand. He Special Summons "Bitron" (200/2000) in Attack Position. The effect of "Cracking Dragon" activates ("Bitron": 200 → 0; Playmaker: 3600 → 3400 LP). As Playmaker controls a Cyberse monster, he Special Summons "Backup Secretary" by its own effect (1200/800). The effect of "Cracking Dragon" activates ("Backup Secretary": 1200 → 600; Playmaker: 3400 → 2800 LP).
Playmaker uses "Bitron" and "Backup Secretary" to Link Summon "Honeybot" (1900/LINK-2/←→) to the zone "Link Spider" points to. Playmaker then uses the Link-1 "Link Spider" and the Link-2 "Honeybot" to Link Summon "Decode Talker" (2300/LINK-3/↙↑↘) to the Extra Monster Zone. "Decode Talker" gains 500 ATK for each monster linked to it ("Decode Talker": 2300 → 2800). Playmaker Tributes the other "Dragonoid Token" to Tribute Summon "Capacitor Stalker" (2000/1000) to the zone bottom-left of "Decode Talker". As "Capacitor Stalker" was Normal or Special Summoned, Playmaker activates its effect, allowing him to increase the ATK of a Cyberse monster he controls by 800 while "Capacitor Stalker" remains face-up on the field. He targets "Decode Talker" ("Decode Talker": 2800 → 3600). The effect of "Cracking Dragon" activates ("Capacitor Stalker": 2000 → 1000; Playmaker: 2800 → 1800 LP). Playmaker Sets a card.
"Decode Talker" attacks "Cracking Dragon". As Link Monsters do not have Levels, the effect of "Cracking Dragon" that pervents it from being destroyed by monsters with a Level less than or equal to it does not apply. Hence, "Cracking Dragon" is destroyed (Varis: 3000 → 2400 LP). "Capacitor Stalker" attacks directly (Varis: 2400 → 1400).
Turn 3: Varis
Varis draws a card and subsequently Sets it. As Playmaker controls a Link Monster, Varis Special Summons "Gateway Dragon" (1600/1400) by its effect. Varis activates the effect of "Gateway Dragon", allowing him to Special Summon a Level 4 or lower DARK monster from his hand. He Special Summons "Sniffer Dragon" (800/400). As "Sniffer Dragon" was Special Summoned, Varis can add another copy of "Sniffer Dragon" from his Deck to his hand. He adds and subsequently Normal Summons another copy of "Sniffer Dragon" (1600/1400).
Varis uses a "Sniffer Dragon" and "Gateway Dragon" to Link Summon "Twin Triangle Dragon" (1200/LINK-2/↓→) to the Extra Monster Zone. Varis activates the effect of "Twin Triangle Dragon", allowing him to pay 500 LP to Special Summon a Level 5 or higher monster from his GY with its effects negated. Varis Special Summons "Cracking Dragon" to the zone below "Twin Triangle Dragon" (Varis: 1400 → 900 LP).
Varis activates his Skill "Storm Access", which allows him to randomly access a card from a Data Storm when his LP is 1000 or less. Varis obtains "Topologic Bomber Dragon" and adds it to his Extra Deck.
Varis uses the Link-2 "Twin Triangle Dragon", "Cracking Dragon" and "Sniffer Dragon" to Link Summon "Topologic Bomber Dragon" (3000/LINK-4/↑↙↓↘) to the Extra Monster Zone. Varis activates the effect of "Dragonoid Generator" to Special Summon a "Dragonoid Token" to a zone "Bomber Dragon" points. As a monster was Special Summoned to a zone a Link Monster points to, the effect of "Bomber Dragon" activates, destroying all monsters in the Main Monster Zones. The "Dragnoid Token" and "Capacitor Stalker" are destroyed ("Decode Talker": 3600 → 2300). As "Capacitor Stalker" was destroyed by a card effect, its effect activates, inflicting 800 damage to both players (Playmaker: 1800 → 1000 LP; Varis: 900 → 100 LP).
"Bomber Dragon" attacks and destroys "Decode Talker" (Playmaker: 1000 → 300 LP). As "Bomber Dragon" attacked Playmaker's monster, its effect activates, inflicting damage equal to the attacked monster's original ATK.
Duel continues in the next episode.

Jackery outs Bar and Mini portable battery packs, aims to give power-hungry devices a boost
Mophie's Juice Packs are all the rage when it comes to giving a meaningful power boost to popular slabs like the iPhone 5 and Galaxy S III, but let's not forget others outside that group may need some help, too. Here's where the California-based firm Jackery hopes to come in. The company's just introduced its Bar and Mini external batteries, touting rather portable and peculiar designs as some of the main features present. More importantly, both of the USB-equipped power packs are loaded with 5,600 and 2,600mAh, respectively -- and, according to Jackery, this is enhanced by the peripherals' ability to hold a charge for up to six months, thanks to the company's own "unique power lock technology." Jackery's 5.4-ounce Bar is available starting today for $40, while the more petiteMini (which weighs in at less than three ounces) canbe yours for 10 bucks less than its heavier sibling.Gallery: Jackery Bar and Mini portable battery packs

Whether you cannot overdose cannabis oil, or whether you can – that is the question. If things are done following the right protocols, you cannot overdose cannabis oil. At Cannabis Network News we can show you how – how to take your cannabis oil and how much is too much. First time users of cannabis need to educate themselves about the right dosage amounts, the types of oils they can use and which oils are best for their conditions or illnesses.
We know that cannabis is made up of numerous different cannabinoids, two of which are used as ingredients in medical cannabis products. These are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) and both cannabinoids are known for their health-generating qualities and their amazing ability to treat common ailments and chronic diseases. THC is psychoactive and can have side effects such as paranoia, anxiety, perspiration and mental confusion. The trick is to mix your THC with CBD, which is non-psychoactive, and reduce the effects of the cannabinoid on your brain.
Remember that you cannot really overdose cannabis oil if you take it in safe ways. If, by chance, you have too much THC, you need to take steps to let it work its way out of your system. You cannot kill yourself with cannabis, but you do need to know what to do if you have too much. Don't panic. Be aware that if you ingest a concentrated cannabis oil, you will take in much more THC than if you inhale a measured dosage in a vape pen. Or if you eat a cannabis cookie made from fresh cannabis flowers, you may take in more THC than if you simply pop a cannabis oil capsule at the recommended time of day in the recommended dose. Eating cannabis takes longer to have an effect, then it has a powerful effect. If you have a lot of THC, it is a very powerful natural medication and people are using it for chronic pain, cancer and depression, among many other illnesses. Some cannabis growers are even cultivating a type of cannabis that is very high in THC so when you buy your products you need to check that you use a reputable and organic supplier.
There are plentiful cannabinoids you can take to ensure you cannot overdose cannabis oil. CBD is the best choice for healing disorders that range from insomnia, anxiety, inflammation and lack of appetite to arthritis, cancer, depression, epilepsy, Parkinson's Disease and more. CBD is a calming cannabinoid that you can also take of you have had too much THC. The human body is an amazing organism – we have our own endocannabinoid system and a chemical compound called Anandamide which gives us that sense of euphoria when we exercise or feel happy. THC acts in a similar way when it interacts with the cannabinoid receptors in your brain, making you feel high. Taking too much THC, or what we can call an overdose, makes you feel more than high – you feel dizzy, very tired and not connected to life.
Try to do exercise to increase blood flow to the brain and exercises such as yoga where breathwork will assist you to calm down and reduce the effects of the THC on your brain. Make sure you drink lots of water, not alcohol, and eat foods rich in fats which force the THC to work its way out of your body faster. Do something to take your mind off the fact that you have overdosed on THC – watch TV, play with your dog, go out with friends, do some crafts or simply go to sleep.
You cannot overdose cannabis oil if you follow simple steps when you are taking it – choose a quality CBD-infused cannabis oil which will calm your mind and go straight to the place where it is needed. Take less cannabis oil if you are of a small build, and if you have never tried it before. Take notes every time you take your cannabis oil and you cannot overdose – record your dosage and whether it had a healthy effect or not. The CBD calms the stress signals in your brain's endocannabinoid system allowing you to relax and allowing the cannabis oil to heal your condition.
The body's endocannabinoid system is there to maintain a balanced system of homeostasis and involves your moods, metabolism, reproductive organs, energy levels and general immunity. It has a system of receptors throughout the body, to which cannabis cannabinoids can bind. The body's own endocannabinoids also bind to these receptors to keep a healthy balance in the body. When there are imbalances, you get sick. For example, people who produce too little anandamide do get post-traumatic stress disorder. CBD can also regulate too much cannabinoid action in the brain when we get anxious – which is why you can take it for stress, or if you have overdosed on THC!
Choose the right method of intake and you cannot overdose cannabis oil – take capsules for instant, easy relief from pain or whatever it is that ails you. Stoke your vape pen with CBD oil and have a puff whenever you need it – this is not the same as smoking cannabis as the cannabis oil does not combust. You simply get an instant hit of relief from your condition. Tinctures are also very easy to take when you drop a few drops several times a day on your tongue. Eating cannabis and smoking it will more than likely make you high and uncomfortable but people do this if they have cancer or another severe disease.

'Chiu on This' is a short and regular opinion blast
I've been thinking recently about a Reflections podcast that Thorin did with PPD. One of the things I recalled from the episode was PPD's usage of the term "Polarizing player" instead of the word "star player". At the time, I didn't think much of the semantics of the term and assumed it was being used interchangeably with the term 'star player'.
Now that over an year has passed and I've studied more team games like CS:GO, Dota2, and Overwatch, I've come to understand that whether intentionally or not, the usage of the word "Polarizing player" has a subtle distinction from star player.
Both terms assume that a player is of star quality, one of the best in the fields. What is subtly different about them is that the polarizing player is the person who ends up defining the team's strengths and is the player that the entire team plays around.
I've found this term especially helpful when thinking about all-star teams that have been assembled across different games. In Overwatch, the New York Excelsior had an all-star team with a bunch of players that were all star level players. But among them, the player that defined the entire playstyle of the team was Jjonak.
In CS:GO, FaZe is the superstar lineup with four star talents in Olofmeister, GuardiaN, NiKo, and Rain. Among the four of them, the polarizing player, the one that they play around the most is NiKo. In Dota2, PSG.LGD is stacked to the gills with talent as they have three superstar players in Ame, Maybe, and Fy. Among the three of them though, the two polarizing players have to be Ame and Fy.
Overall, I think it's a useful term to consider using as there are teams with multiple star players, but only one or two of them are ever the polarizing player.

PAULSBORO — Resident Jennifer A. Turner has filled a vacant spot on council here.
At Monday's meeting, Turner, a Democrat, was elected by fellow members to fill the spot of incumbent Elsie Tedeski who announced her resignation in February.
"I feel amazing," she said after she was sworn in, adding that she was honored to be the borough's first black female to serve on council.
Turner, an education coordinator at Cooper University Hospital, currently sits on Mayor W. Jeffrey Hamilton's advisory committee. She also participated in Hamilton's campaign efforts last June.
Turner is involved in several organizations including the 2012 President Obama and Biden reelection, "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" annual walk and several other fundraisers.
In January, she presented her resume to the council to fill a seat left open by Hamilton's move to mayor, but was defeated by current member Gary Stevenson.
On her resume, Turner said she will "listen to the Paulsboro residents' concerns to help improve their quality of living and reshape their neighborhoods." She also wants to "Prepare, plan and create agendas for ongoing summer youth activities.
After she was sworn in, Turner joined the rest of the committee for the remainder of the meeting.
She will finish the rest of Tedeski's term which would have ended at the end of the year.

According to American Insurance Association Senior Vice President Julie Rochman, trucking accidents cause 5,000 deaths a year in the U.S. She was on "Power Lunch" talking to Sue Herera about the need to enforce the rules in place – let alone enact new ones.
Rochman noted that Europe has been using electronic data recorders in shipping trucks for 30 years, but the U.S. has yet to fully implement them. The recorders can track distance, speed and engine usage. An excess of any one can lead to safety hazards.
American truckers here are still using handwritten logbooks – which Rochman says are referred to by truckers themselves as "comic books." They're barely kept up and often altered after an accident, she says.
But American Trucking Association's Tim Lynch--who was also on "Power Lunch"--disagrees. He says data recorders are gradually being installed in trucks in the U.S. Lynch thinks there are better ways to improve safety in the trucking industry – though he didn't name anything specifically.
Trucks carry more than three-quarters of all freight shipped in the U.S. So the trucking industry, U.S. lawmakers and consumers are going to have to find a balance between safety and efficiency.

What's a one-night track? The infinite options with modern laptop music production don't pair well with perfectionist tendencies, in my experience. Hours spent agonizing over details sap away the emotional rush of a beautiful melody. So as a new training regimen, I'm forcing myself to complete some portion of songs in a single sitting. These are necessarily simple technical compositions, and simplicity can be rewarding. Trust your ears and stay humble. 3 tracks, modest post-processing.

Wonk Decency
I understand why critics of Bush-era interventionism, the military-industrial complex, etc. might be skeptical that anyone engaging specifically in "defense policy" would be altruistic in their motivations, as opposed to "foreign policy" specialists or other breeds of wonk. But sometimes it gets oddly paranoid. So when Andrew Exum sums up counterinsurgency theory in a sentence (though you should read the whole post) by saying "No one who really understands COIN wants to do it," Matt Yglesias counters with the old 'hammer theory' :
…active engagement in counterinsurgency operations tends to boost demand for counterinsurgency experts while a foreign policy that aimed to avoid such scenarios might reach the conclusion that it can afford to simply ignore the subject. Thus you could see a certain structural bias in COIN circles toward wanting to see COIN-needed situations lurking under every rock.
The review that inspired Exum's post makes a similar insinuation, describing at length the career trajectories of those to whom "the Long War has been good." But I think that both of these attitudes fundamentally misunderstand the cognitive dissonance Exum's trying to convey. It's not that COIN experts understand intellectually that good news for them is bad news for other people somewhere far away, so they're trained to nod gravely and intone "But it must be done" at the end of briefings to conceal their inner joy at getting more work. Like specialists in any other policy area, plenty of COIN theorists genuinely care about the problem they're trying to solve — in this case, restoring order to violence-ravaged neighborhoods — and therefore they've acquired the expertise to help solve it. Sure, some of them may also harbor ambition, but ambition and compassion can go hand in hand. (This is one of the premises for republicanism, but I think people who make careers in politics and policy often forget it, which is sad. One has to wonder why they got into the business themselves.)
Part of the problem comes from the tendency to divide foreign-policy thinkers into ideological camps rather than specialties; certainly COIN operates from a particular set of beliefs about goals, but it would be ridiculous to mistake those beliefs for a Foreign Policy Theory of Everything. (This is actually the point of Exum's post.) So it might be more constructive to analogize it to domestic policy, which suffers less from the confusion of ideology and content. There are plenty of people who have devoted their careers to studying health care, entitlements, single parenting, or any other "crisis" in domestic affairs, for example. In some cases, they tend to share a particular notion of what solutions should be taken. It would be weird to scrutinize them for attempts to "export" these tactics to other issues merely because of their initial success. Why is it different for experts who happen to study things with guns?
The implication is either that COIN theorists don't know their own field well enough to understand when a situation falls beyond it, or that people who specialize in Bad Situations will always wind up succumbing to self-interest to perpetuate or invent circumstances that will keep them in demand. That's just creepy, regardless of what kind of expert you're talking about.

Are the days seeming spookier to you? Halloween is fast approaching and we're getting in the spirit here at ModCloth. Last week, we dressed as Audrey Hepburn, a first lady, and a flapper. This week we yet again scoured the ModCloth warehouse in search of inspiration for crafting our costumes. We hope you'll like what we came up with!
If you're still completely clueless about what you want to be, check out one of our favorite fashion blogs, Daddy Likey. They're having a "best costume story" contest and ModCloth is sponsoring with a $100 gift certificate for the winner!
Marne as a French Girl
"How do you build a costume around your love of stripes? I just looked to our French-speaking friends for inspiration! No, I'm not talking about Maxime Talbot and Marc-Andre Fleury; I mean the cutest Parisian girls! Perhaps it's a stereotype, but I love the black and white combo with some splashes of bright red. Topped off with a gold pin and an umbrella (featuring the Eiffel Tower) and all that I'm missing is a baguette! Say 'oui'!"
Marne is wearing:
Lindsay as Amelia Earhart
"I wear dresses most of the year, so Halloween is my chance to adorn myself with boots and bombers. Amelia Earhart was a way to achieve, if only in style, my dream of becoming a pilot! I love the Pan Am Flight Bag and the Bunny Hill Coat will keep me warm, even though I'm a bit old to go house to house. And you can't tell in this picture, but I couldn't get these pants buttoned. Maybe I should lay off the candy!"
Lindsay is wearing:
Aaron as Max Fischer in Rushmore
"Herman Blume: What's the secret, Max?
Max Fischer: The secret?
Herman Blume: Yeah, you seem to have it pretty figured out.
Max Fischer: The secret, I don't…I guess you've just gotta find something you love to do and then…do it for the rest of your life. For me, it's ModCloth."

Article Title
Document Type
To commemorate the fortieth anniversary of the publication of The Death and Life of Great American Cities, the Boston College Environmental Affairs Law Review and the Carroll School of Management invited Jane Jacobs to a symposium in her honor. To accommodate Ms. Jacobs, the symposium participants were divided into two panels. After each panel's presentations, Ms. Jacobs offered her comments, and she and the panel members responded to audience questions. This essay, in part, reflects some of the comments Ms. Jacobs made both after the panel presentations and in response to audience questions. Her candor at the symposium was as refreshing as it is in her writing.

Writing scripts, shooting, editing, optimizing…
..it's a full time job!
Want to get found in the organic search results?
You'll need to spend thousands on SEO…

...without warning!
Hey, if you can afford to spend $5, $7 or even $20 per click…
…go for it!
(And let's not mention the rampant click fraud that is draining thousands of advertiser's wallets every day.)

You're following the WRONG people. If you want followers who will buy from you, then you need to stop following people who aren't interested in your products or services.
You're not posting enough awesome content. If you're not posting daily content that people in your niche love, you're already dead-in-the-water.
You don't have the time or energy for all this! We don't blame you. That's why we created AthenaSuite.

With stoves to suit every lifestyle and setting, they make it easy to put a warm glow at the heart of your home.
Their freestanding designs are just right in an inglenook fireplace; if you're looking to fill an empty hearth, their inset stoves are sized to slot straight into a traditional British fireplace – or go for modern minimalism with a cassette model.
You may already know the names Villager, Aarrow and Stratford. They have been popular stoves for many years, and now they are united by the Arada badge.
Timeless Classics
Within the Arada range, you will find models that epitomise traditional design. These stoves are equally at home inside a red-bricked chimney breast of a cosy cottage or glowing within the grand fireplace of a country home. Either way, they have an abundance of charm and character.
Contemporary Living
An elegant feature slotted neatly into a bright, spacious room or a dramatic centrepiece that provides wow factor, Arada contemporary stoves let you create the look you want. Clean-cut lines and big viewing windows emphasise the beauty of the fire whilst offering top efficiency ratings.
Hardworking Heating
With designs to suit any setting, boiler stoves from Arada offer the perfect fusion of style and practicality. Their compact multi fuel and wood boiler models are economical, reliable and sustainable. They provide an alternative to traditional central heating systems or work in combination with them. Unrivalled features and performance come as standard.

School officials at Springtown High School in Texas have no problem with spanking, so much so that they voted last night to allow administrators to spank students of the opposite sex because there aren't enough women to mete out "corporal punishment." The change in policy also requires, as the AP reports, that "a same-gender school official must witness the paddling" to ensure that no funny business is happening—the policy was changed because two teenage girls there reportedly suffered bruises after being spanked by male assistant principals. And one of the girls' mother even told the AP that she's fine with the school spanking "because they need it once in a while, and I got them when I was a kid."
If this all sounds foreign or creepy or the beginnings of something that shouldn't involve children, it's helpful to remember that Texas allows corporal punishment. And there have been legislators, like State Rep. Alma Allen who have tried and failed to abolish the policy--her bill HB916 is still "pending in the committee." But it's also helpful to remember that corporal punishment is also optional.
According to Springtown's policy, parents at Springtown who don't want to see their teenage daughters being spanked by grown men (and their sons too), can always opt out by providing a written statement (below):

Market Musings — Season 3
Nearing the End of Season 3
Posted by Chris Penton on
As I write, we are going into the 15th weekend of the Beechwood Market's third season. A significantly evolved scene from our first year, the vendors, community and I have learned a lot. With a lot of returning vendors like Gentlecraft Organics, Jargon Preserves and Buddy Bites, we added a few newbies such as Allium Farm, Beking's Eggs and Barking Barista. Carefully selected for their quality, presentation and attitude, the idea was to enhance the shopping experience while maintaining the culture of cool and happy. A fantastic mixture of small businesses, they quickly got to cross promoting, trading products and...

"I much prefer the sharpest criticism of a single intelligent man to the thoughtless approval of the masses." Johannes Kepler
Kepler's got a point, eh?! He had a few. "Galileo, Kepler, and Newton proved that matter is governed by rational laws."
Scientifically speaking, we use incorrect terms when we refer to "sunrise" and "sunset." But in everyday speech, these words are both acceptable and accurate, when we keep in mind our terrestrial perspective. ~excerpted Science and The Bible–Do They Really Contradict Each Other?
What is Your Terrestrial perspective as Beautiful–Breathing–Fragile–Life, Friend, Partner, 1 of many Caretakers of this Beautiful Planet Earth??
Humbly, we must admit our perspective on anything or anyone is limited. As Partners in Wellness, as BFL inhabiting our own individualized ecosystem(s), our particular life experience(s) and our particular learning experience(s)…etc. all come together in amazing ways to give us our own unique perspective or our own take on reality. Even people living under the same roof, experiencing together or sharing together similar spaces of time and experience/life will see things/reality differently (even if only slightly)!
To see things differently doesn't necessarily mean contradiction. It could mean complementary points of view. Accepting that we will see things differently is a good thing! As Partners, let's not get into a huff just because we don't see eye to eye on everything. All eyes see differently.
Can't we let our differences be conciliatory and not inflammatory?!
As Breathing–Fragile–Life, we all have our own set of sensitivities and insecurities. However, we can choose to be inspired instead of insulted by differing points of view. We can choose kindness and a silent: 'I forgive You' by freely giving others the benefit of the doubt instead of making issues out of non-issues. (Being reasonable in our expectations of ourselves and/or others helps promote peace.)
Everyday we promote something. We advertise. Our attitude, our speech, our conduct and our dress choices advertise much. Advertising is communication. Would You describe Yourself as a Promoter of Peace? If not, why not? If so, why so?
Differing points of view, can give us a broader picture. A broader picture basically means more information. It gets tricky, at times, because accurate information is critical to decision making that doesn't endanger or damage our self or anyone else.
So, knowing it's a given that with whomever (wherever or whenever) we exchange information aka communication or conversation…that most likely we will not totally agree on every detail concerning whatever topic under discussion…TACT is a crucial component necessary to any effective-peaceful communication or information exchange.
Being tactful could save so many relationships and lives! Tactless informational exchanges aka conversations between partners, leaders, educators, countries or disagreements leading to fighting, war, divorce and/or death could be avoided! "Where there is no wood the fire goes out." (Proverbs 26:20)
Can we choose to be gentle and kind vs. abrasive and rough in our speech and dealings?!
- How would You personally number rate your word choices from very gentle #10 to very rough #1?
- Can You add more gentle vocabulary?
- Can You subtract any unkind words?
No matter the situation: critical or trivial: add some tact and see for yourself a positive result.
"It is time to put a bullet, once and for all, through [the] heart of the catharsis hypothesis. The belief that observing violence (or 'ventilating it') gets rid of hostilities has virtually never been supported by research." ~Psychologist Carol Tavris
"Research shows that 'letting out' all of your anger in a cathartic manner often leaves you feeling more uptight, not less." ~Psychologist Gary Hankins
Here are various descriptions (on-line & other) that I've read regarding Tact:
Please see which one(s) You like:
Tact: Show discretion in what you say as well as how and when you say it, in order to avoid offending others needlessly.
Tact: A person who is motivated by love does not want to irritate others; he/she wants to help them. One who is kind and mild-tempered is gentle in his way of doing things.
Tact: Sensitive mental or aesthetic perception.
Tact: A keen sense of what to do or say in order to maintain good relations with others or avoid offense.
Tact: Meaning "sense of discernment in action or conduct, diplomacy, fine intuitive mental perception" first recorded 1804, from development in French cognate tact. The Latin figurative sense was "influence, effect." ~on-line Etymology Dictionary
Thank You for reading the following tidbits on Tact from: Learning the Art of Being Tactful:
[…] tact as "the ability to appreciate the delicacy of a situation and to do or say the kindest or most fitting thing." The word originally referred to touch. Just as sensitive fingers can perceive if something is sticky, soft, polished, hot, or hairy, so a tactful person can sense the feelings of other people and can discern how his words or actions affect them. But doing this is not just a skill; it involves a genuine desire to avoid hurting others.
Tact is especially important when you have a complaint against someone. You can so easily hurt his dignity. Specific commendation is always appropriate first. Rather than criticize him, concentrate on the problem. Explain how his action affects you and exactly what you would like to see changed. Then be prepared to listen. Perhaps you have misunderstood him.
People like to feel that you understand their viewpoint even if you do not agree with it.
Learning what to say and how to say it and what not to say and what not to do in any given sensitive area of conversation between Partners and Others is crucial to compassionate communication!
Good-Effective-Compassionate communication adheres/glues relationships/partnerships/families together by using tact and not tack (pinches hurt)!
Our word choices can: attract or repel, incite, inspire or insult!
Pleasant sayings are a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul and a healing to the bones. (Proverbs 16:24)
Who doesn't like some honey aka sweet, pleasant, healing, tactful conversation?!
Please pass the honey, Honey…(and not the Pooh)!;)
