A patch-up job is not the best long-term option for our energy needs, writes Scott Willis.
"Range anxiety" is a term commonly associated with electric vehicles and the zero-emission transport evolution. However, spare a thought for pilots trying to fly jets out of Auckland.
Damage from a digger has resulted in the only petrol, diesel and jet fuel supply line to Auckland being punctured, and range anxiety has taken on a whole new meaning. Politicians have even been riding on buses to economise. Flights have been cancelled, jet fuel rationed, motorists have been panic-buying fuel.
Oh, and by the way, that digger had apparently been excavating kauri logs in a wetland. Pause to think about that for a moment.
We usually take for granted the ready availability of petrol and fossil fuels. However, like the Auckland fuel supply line, our connection with fuel, for transport and industry, relies on long fragile supply chains. It also relies on general global political stability. Climate change is expected to change all that. Rationing of fossil fuels may become not a choice, but an obligation.
Many years ago, when my partner and I were footloose and fancy free, we found ourselves on a film set in Morocco.
At the end of filming we hitched a ride in a beautiful 1950s Cadillac convertible to cross the High Atlas Mountains. Fuel supply was not plentiful in the Atlas Mountains and that Cadillac was a thirsty beast. It was pretty cool travelling in the convertible, up until the point we ran out of fuel.
We managed to roll into some sort of mountain outpost and I recall the delicate siphoning of petrol from an old Renault 4 into a plastic water bottle for transfer into the Cadillac. For the rest of the journey down into Marrakesh we coasted as much as we could, eeking out the meagre supply of petrol so we could get to our destination.
More recently, I recall when our two local petrol stations in Blueskin Bay were shut down. The community began searching out fuel cans and some residents were well prepared with a full jerry can just in case. But many weren’t so organised and people often went asking around the neighbourhood for top-ups, or emptying the lawn-mower to recover a litre of the precious fuel. It’s little wonder now that so many residents in Blueskin Bay own electric vehicles.
Meanwhile at the international level, a bellicose and incoherent US president is demonstrably incapable of providing global leadership.
While a reduction in US power doesn’t necessarily mean global political instability, it certainly does mean fragility, and fragility in our political systems means fragility in our supply lines. Our civilisation relies on a fine balance of global politics in a world that is now urgently needing to adapt to climate change impacts. It is high time we built more resilient systems for energy supply, transport and all economic activity.
Our reliance on fossil fuels for transport (to concentrate just on transport for the moment) makes us very vulnerable to international forces outside our control and global and local natural disasters. And yet we have in New Zealand an abundant potential for renewable electricity generation and the technology to fully electrify land-based transport. And that offers us opportunity and options.
If central government accepts we need to act, it could bring to bear the resources of government to allow the organised and active transition to a fully electrified land transport system, working hand in hand with New Zealand industry, business and the community.
We already have some experience of working to manage our access to fossil fuels nationally. Carless days were introduced by the National Government in 1979. This legislation was an attempt to shore up the economy following the oil shocks of the 1970s. It was also incidentally, when many of the Think Big generation power stations were built.
In the future, if we get things right, fewer of us will drive and those who do will drive electric vehicles. A managed transition to a sustainable society will require the participation of and investment by central government.
What I hope to see is a distributed energy supply and integrated transport network based on renewable electricity generation. I can imagine for example, if I still drive a car, stopping near a local wind or solar farm for a quick high-power charge. A high-power charge means a DC capacity of up to 350kW which would enable a car battery to be back up to 80% from empty within a few minutes. Electric mobility goes hand in hand with distributed generation of course, and the amount of renewable electricity generation needed in New Zealand would have to double if we are to electrify transport, industry and heating.
And therein comes the rub. As project manager for Blueskin Energy Ltd, I’ve spent the last seven years of my life working on a community wind project that could have supplied 1000 households with renewable electricity. Many others have contributed very significant donations and pro bono effort towards this dream.
And yet, ultimately, the proposed Blueskin turbine has been ruled against by the Environment Court, primarily it appears, because of its visual impact. Perhaps others will find the mysterious "somewhere else" that is the perfect spot for community wind turbines. If they don’t and we continue down the same trajectory, range anxiety will be the least of our worries.

The original preamp ran from one 24v rail (the supply was called a Snaps). The circuits were printed on half a dozen little boards, which then slotted onto a mother board. As well as the phono input, it had a tape, tuner, and another aux input. Second hand price around 125 pounds.
Essentially the same amp as the 32, but the 42 series amps had one less input than the 32 series (ie, only phono, tape and aux). The other difference with the 42 series is that, with the exception of the phono cards, the components were all put on the mother board. There was a slight difference in appearance too, in that the 42 had large volume and selector knobs whereas the 32 had smaller ones. Again, it ran from a single 24v supply. Second hand price around 100 pounds.
The .5 extension denotes the next generation of preamps where the single power rail is split in half, keeping the phono cards on a separate rail to the rest of the preamp. The 32.5 (and 42.5) could then be used with the newly introduced Hicap power supply, which supplied two 24v rails. The amp was given two phono inputs for some reason (ie, 2 x phono, tape,tuner, aux) but I don't see any reason why you couldn't use `straight through' cards to effectively turn the second phono input into another line level input (in fact I have done this in the past and it seems to work fine, and I actually prefer the BNC connections). This might be a consideration for those of you looking for a second hand amp that'll handle tape/CD/tuner/video connections. On the .5 amps, there was slightly better earthing routing, and better volume and balance pots too, and on the later (after about 1985) preamps, the selector switching was done with a remote link that switched connections near the actual input sockets at the back of the amp rather than running wires to the front and back again. Also worth noting for tape users, the 32 and 72 series preamps had buffering on the tape output which help in getting good recordings. Second hand price around 225 pounds.
Same differences as between the 32 and 42, ie, one less aux input, and also didn't have the second phono input of the 32.5, The components were still on the mother board rather than slot-in boards. The 42.5 would run from a Hicap in the same way as the 32.5. Second hand price around 200 pounds.
Basically a 32.5 but with the circuits printed on a mother board as in the 42.5. However it didn't have tape output buffering though (so perhaps better to think of it as a revamped 42.5 with an extra input). Again Naim improved the earthing routes slightly and put a better balance control arrangement in. Powered from the Hicap as with the 32.5 and 42.5. The 62 straddled the change to the new styling (ie, you can get both second hand). Old style second hand price around 250 pounds. New style is around 350 pounds. I have to say, this is by far my favourite amp in all of Naim's repertoire for modding. It is simple, and responds wonderfully to a little love and attention!
Same as the 62 to look at, but incorporating some slight circuit tweaks and some improved components according to Naim. The components are on slot-in boards as with the 32.5 (in fact you could buy some of the boards to put in your 32.5). The amp is still powered from the two channel Hicap arrangement (ie, separate power rails for the phono stage, and the rest of the amp). Only has one phono input but has an extra line level input. Again, tape output buffering. Second hand price is around 350 to 400 pounds.

Seriously? OMG! WTF?Brittany Daniel's sweet valley low dress - Seriously? OMG! WTF?
« When did Fergie gets those?
Brittany Daniel walked the red carpet at the BET Awards with her rumored boyfriend Keenen Ivory Wayans in a dress that left everyone going WTF? The Sweet Valley High star’s dress left very little to the imagination and I have to say I wish she left more for us to picture. Between her protruding pelvic area and her flat chest, I think the dress was so not right for her. If she was looking for a gown that would make her stand out, mission accomplished. Problem is she is standing out in a way I am sure she did want to because I BET she will be making everyone’s worst dressed list this week. While Keeean’s Little Man might like it, I think they are the only ones that did.

Macs: If you could provide an idea/request to Apple Engineering, what would it be?
Discussion in 'Buying Tips, Advice and Discussion (archive)' started by amac4me, Aug 8, 2005.
I'd like to see Apple include an integrated Card Reader in Macs. I really don't like having to hook up my camera via a USB cable to download pictures.
If you could offer an idea or request a feature for Apple to include in a Mac what would it be?
I'd like a docking station for my Powerbook.
I don't want the extra weight/space that a card reader would take up either for exactly the same reason - which cards do you go for? I have a couple of readers for my PCI slot on my Powerbook which does make life easier but I like the flexibility rather than having multiple slots there permanently.
Multiple mouse buttons and just maybe even a hard drive activity light.
Maybe an even tinier laptop... for the ultimate in portability.
So long as it doesn't create bulk or damage asthetics..
Fuel cells for the portables.
From what I've heard, they're still unwieldy to refuel; but I think this tech will improve rapidly and change the portable market in the near future. It would be awesome if Apple could iron it out early-on to make it hip and seamless.
Customizable lid/casing for the iBooks making it easy to personalize it (not unlike all those changeable covers you get for a lot of mobile phones).
For window to actually fill the screen when you hit maximize.
Swiveling laser turret that mounts on top of the iBook and connects via Firewire, like an iSight. I guess I'd want it in white, but I'm willing to compromise for Aluminum if it dissipates heat more readily.
or maybe you want them to bundle it with macs...yah that might be a good idea *cough* apple..
Put a serial port on the powerbooks. It's the only thing that is currently stopping me from getting a powerbook right now. Only reason I need to have it is to connect to routers/switches on their console port.
I should have specified: multiple mouse buttons on portables.
On my Powerbook - An easily removable harddrive like my old Dell Insperon has. That way when the computer goes in for service, I just pull out my HD!
You mean a 9-pin DSUB? Please god, for the rest of us, no.
I guess though, what works works.... Are serial ports even common on Windows notebooks anymore? And can't you get some kind of USB adaptor that would be relatively low-impact?
But seriously, better graphics card support.
Sorry but to be super efficient it will have to be in matt black, white would be the worst in dissipating heat, but on a more positive note white would be better in reflecting any radiating waves of energy .
True, but I think if I cared about super-efficiency over style, I wouldn't choose a Mac to go underneath my swiveling laser turret!
Wasn't there some rumors about a patent for a customizable casing, that could be changed with software...?
Yeah, they should engineer us some lower prices.
But I'd also settle for more frequent updates.
Seriously, though, I'd love to see a BookMini at $599. And one of those super-keyboards where the keys are all mini-OLED screens that can change into whatever configuration you'd want.
I think it'd be cool if they released a Pro keyboard that could do that, and have a built-in click wheel like the iPod, to be used as a jog/shuttle controller for Final Cut Pro and other programs. That'd be cool.

Private equity firm Advent International has sold Oxea, one of the largest global manufacturers of Oxo chemicals. Oman Oil Company (OOC), a commercial company wholly owned by the Government of the Sultanate of Oman, will acquire Oxea to strengthen its position in the global chemicals sector. The acquisition is subject to antitrust approvals and satisfaction of other conditions. The purchase price was not disclosed.
OOC supports the Sultanate’s economic development programme “Vision 2020” which is aimed at diversifying the economy across a variety of industrial and commercial activities in Oman and abroad while decreasing dependence on oil. With the acquisition of OXEA, OOC aims to become a vertically integrated global chemical leader in the downstream industry.
“Oxea is an impressive company with a strong track record, highly diversified product portfolio, multistep value chain and strong customer base. With its international presence in Europe and North America, leading technology, efficient platform and longstanding experience in the Oxo segment, Oxea will support our further expansion into the chemical sector,” said H.E. Nasser bin Khamis Al Jashmi, Chairman of Oman Oil Company.
With 1.3 million tonnes of Oxo chemicals and derivatives each year, Oxea generated sales of around EUR1.5 billion (2012). The company was formed by merging two separate business units which Advent acquired in 2007 from Celanese and Degussa (now Evonik). Advent brought in comprehensive sector and market expertise which it gained through more than 25 investments in the chemicals industry over the past 25 years. Under Advent’s ownership Oxea’s management developed a resilient business with strong earnings growth.
Today Oxea’s portfolio comprises more than 70 Oxo-based products for a highly diversified customer base and various end market applications. For example, products from Oxea are used in coatings, lacquers, paints, lubricants, flavors and fragrances and produced for customers from the construction, automotive and pharmaceutical sector, as well as the electronics industry.
Martina Flöel, Managing Director of Oxea on behalf of the management board, said that firm looks forward to working together with OOC which will provide additional access to growth markets in Asia and the Middle East.

A wrinkle-free suit coat counts toward making a positive impression. Your local dry cleaners use professional equipment to remove wrinkles, without harming the suit material. A steam iron offers similar results at home, but using the device incorrectly can cause irreparable damage to the coat. Placing a barrier, such as damp cloth, between the iron and the coat protects the fibers from direct heat. Moreover, the combination of the two produces a wrinkle-free garment.
Check the label inside the suit coat for a description of the suit material. Set your steam iron for use with the material, and plug in the iron. Allow the iron to warm up.
Lay the interior of the suit coat flat against the ironing board. Spread half of the back of the coat across the ironing board. Smooth out any folds or wrinkles with your hand.
Dampen a cotton or linen cloth, using a spray bottle of water, and lay it over a section of the back of the coat.
Press the steam iron against the cloth, and lift it back up. Reposition the cloth along the back of the coat, continuing to steam as you go. In each instance, use a press and lift motion. Avoid sliding the iron across the cloth.
Lay the first sleeve lengthwise along the ironing board. Use the narrow tip of the ironing board to support the coat. Smooth the sleeve flat with your hand.
Place the damp cloth against either the sleeve cuff or shoulder seam. Once again using the cloth as a barrier between the coat and the iron, gradually iron your way down the length of the sleeve. As before, use a press and lift motion. Repeat the procedure for both sleeves.
Drape either side of the front of the suit along the ironing board, with the collar facing the narrow end of the board. Smooth the material flat against the board.
Check your cloth to be sure it remains damp. If necessary, dampen it again.
Set the dampened cloth on the front of the suit. Use the familiar press and lift motion with your steam iron, and work from one end of the coat to the other. Once you finish one side of the coat, reposition it and iron the other side.
After ironing the coat, inspect it for wrinkles. If necessary, remove any remaining wrinkles by waving the hot steam iron back and forth an inch or two above the fabric.

When we were first reviewing the finances for our house, we were struck by the low property taxes that the current owner was paying. We knew we wouldn’t get as good of a deal but didn’t know how to estimate them. Calculating New York City property taxes had always been a mystery to me. For the purposes of estimating our future expenses we simply rounded up to the nearest hundred and doubled her payment. Unfortunately, this strategy was flawed and our property taxes are more than we thought. On the bright side, with the help of our attorney, we learned a quick way to estimate them and it is much easier than we expected.
Basically, there are just 3 steps.
Step 1: Look up the assessed value of the property according the tax department records. You can easily look this up on the website www.propertyshark.com for free.
Step 2: If your income is less than $500,000 you qualify for the Basic STAR property tax exemption. To apply this exemption you subtract $1,670 from the assessed value found in Step 1. The amount of this exemption changes from year to year so verify the current STAR exemption rates with NY state’s website.
Step 3: Multiply the discounted assessed value by 18% and you have a good estimate of your tax bill. This rate applies to most residential properties such as homes and condominiums. The rate changes sometimes and you should verify it with the City’s website.
Here’s an example: Assuming the new home you’re looking at has an assessed value of $20,000 (assessed value has nothing to do with market value–so don’t freak out) and you qualify for Basic STAR. Your annual tax bill will be $3,299.40 that’s calculated by (20,000 – 1,670) x 0.18.
When you get your mortgage the bank should work with the title company to calculate your true tax bill for the next year (we learned the hard way). I believe they adjust the assessed value of the home in the process but it shouldn’t move by much and this formula should be accurate within a few hundred dollars.
There are a number of other exemptions you may qualify for if you are a senior citizen, veteran or disabled. If any of these apply I recommend researching this further on the NYC government website.

Who's that girl with the chic nails? Well, hello there I'm Rose. Haha. I have another tutorial to share with you guys today that I think you will really enjoy. I just posted a photo on my Instagram of my recreation, matte black french tip nails. It's a very popular look that has been recreated many times and shared all over the web. My boss was actually the one who brought it to my attention and said I should recreate it cause it looks "badass" haha. He was very pleased when I showed him this morning how they came out.
These are just what I used, but any variation in product brand will work just as well. The only thing I would be picky about is the matte topcoat because you want one that will really matte down the shine. From the various matte polishes I have experienced, I do feel like Matte Finish by Butter London works extremely well.
Now let's move on and get our nails done!
First step is, of course, use a base coat to protect your natural nails. Next step is to apply the black polish over your nails. You should only need 1-2 coats if you are using Raven by Zoya. You definitely don't want a streaker here so be careful of the polish you choose.
After your nails have fully dried, start applying your matte polish over the entire nail. You guys have to make sure your nails are completely dry prior to adding the matte coat. I cannot stress this enough. If you're nails are not completely dry, the matte will create 'bald' spots in certain areas or smudge the polish altogether. If you use Matte Finish by Butter London, you should only need to use 1 coat. I suggest using a matte polish that only needs 1 or 2 coats.
Now for the final step! Remember to let your nails completely dry before proceeding to this last step. Take the shine topcoat of your choice and create a thick line straight across on the tip of your nail. Remember you're going for the french tip look, so you don't want it too thick. I found it easier to rotate my finger from right to left against the brush, instead of going across with the brush itself. You want the line as even and straight as possible so move slowly.
You may need to add two coats of shine to the tip of your nail, depending on the topcoat you use. And that's it. Finish off the rest of your nails in the same manner and you'll have yourself a super cute manicure to show off.
Wasn't this an easy look to accomplish? Like I said, I couldn't get the tape to work properly for me and I ended up having to start over twice. I hope I've been able to help those who might have had the same issues as I was having. I'd love to see this look with other colors! Please share your recreations with me on instagram @ roselynn787.

I am well on my way to getting a Friday Reads post up on Friday!!!
Better get it done quick before something happens!
A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles - Yup. Still reading it. Not terribly often, but a little bit.
The Dollhouse by Fiona Davis - This is the book club book. I still have two weeks to finish and I'm already a third through it. I try to read one chapter a night. It is written with the chapters alternating between 1956 and 2016. The main characters in the 1956 era are interesting and it's a good story. The main character in the 2016 story is awful. I really don't like her. I might like her more later, but right now, she's a journalist who took a married man away from his family and is letting him pay her bills. It's hard to feel sorry for her when he kicks her out and goes back to his family. We'll see what happens.
March Vol. 1 by John Lewis - The third volume of this series is on the Sequoyah award list for 2018. I don't think I should skip directly to that one. I'm planning on picking this up this weekend if I can work it in with the budget project I have to do also.
So that's my weekend reading plan. What's yours?

Description: Axiom of Quantified Equality. One of the equality and substitution axioms of predicate calculus with equality.
An equivalent way to express this axiom that may be easier to understand is (see ax13b 1717). Recall that in the intended interpretation, our variables are metavariables ranging over the variables of predicate calculus (the object language). In order for the first antecedent to hold, and must have different values and thus cannot be the same object-language variable. Similarly, and cannot be the same object-language variable. Therefore, will not occur in the wff when the first two antecedents hold, so analogous to ax-5 1644, the conclusion follows.
The original version of this axiom was ax-c9 2252 and was replaced with this shorter ax-13 1955 in December 2015. The old axiom is proved from this one as theorem axc9 2016. Conversely, this axiom is proved from ax-c9 2252 as theorem ax13 2025.
The primary purpose of this axiom is to provide a way to introduce the quantifier A. on even when and are substituted with the same variable. In this case, the first antecedent becomes and the axiom still holds.
Although this version is shorter, the original version axc9 2016 may be more practical to work with because of the "distinctor" form of its antecedents. A typical application of axc9 2016 is in dvelimh 2079 which converts a distinct variable pair to the distinctor antecedent . In particular, it is conjectured that it is not possible to prove ax6 1960 from ax6v 1686 without this axiom.
This axiom can be weakened if desired by adding distinct variable restrictions on pairs , and , . To show that, we add these restrictions to theorem ax13v 1956 and use only ax13v 1956 for further derivations. Thus, ax13v 1956 should be the only theorem referencing this axiom. Other theorems can reference either ax13v 1956 or axc9 2016.

Because you only use one limb, you’ll use less weight, which removes a lot of pressure from your spine. You’ll also fire your stabilizing muscles to keep your body moving properly.

Every day behind the door you will find plenty of daily goodies including free games with a festive feel, tasty deposit bonuses, free spins and so much more. Every day will be an adventure and you will be hard pushed to wait till the following door can be opened.
The promotion has only been running for a few days, but there has already been plenty given away. Every day there is a Dish of the Day as well as an exclusive offer. For example on the 1st day of Christmas it was the £2,000 Santa’s Stocking Filler. On the 2nd day of Christmas there were Festive Free Games. The 3rd day of Christmas brought the opportunity for another share of Santa’s £2,000 Stocking filler. Opening the calendar on the 4th day meant a 10% cashback on Festive Favourites as well as yet another Dish of the Day.
Certain terms and conditions have to be complied with in order to take advantage of each daily deal and you will have to check each one individually as they are all slightly different. There are a number of terms, however, that will be applied to all of them. For example, the promotions are only open to real money players and minimum deposits have to be made. Each promotion runs from 00.01 until 23.59, UK time. If it is a cashback offer that is being claimed the minimum amount that can be credited is £5 or currency equivalent.

There are two kinds of people: the kind who start decorating for Christmas on November 1, and the kind that embrace the beautiful fall season and decorate with bright yellows, golds and oranges before busting out the red, green and glitter for Christmas.
If you’re the latter, you’re in luck! Here are some Thanksgiving décor ideas for the upcoming holiday.
Think about what your Thanksgiving is shaping up to be. Are you hosting? If so, consider some of these creative indoor décor ideas. If you’re not hosting, you can probably skip down to the outdoor section to focus on spreading that Thanksgiving holiday cheer to everyone who drives by your home!
Get creative with your table centerpieces. Centerpieces are another easy way to warm up your indoor space for Thanksgiving. Whether it’s your dining room table or kitchen table, you can easily set the Thanksgiving mood with one of these. And, you can probably find what you need for beautiful centerpiece at the grocery store. A great example is a pumpkin vase with fall flowers.
Stage a cornucopia. Cliché? No way! This is a classic. It’s a universal symbol of bounty and a great outdoor decoration for Thanksgiving. For this, you’ll need to pick up the cornucopia baskets, which can be a little difficult to find. They are available on Amazon and JoAnn Fabric and Craft Stores. To fill it, gather together dried wheat stalks and fruits and vegetables of the season – apples, pears, squash. You can put it on your front porch by the door, on your patio furniture if it’s still outside or on a picnic table.
Use an empty wheel barrow for a front yard display. This approach is great if you have a front yard where you can place a larger display. Wheel barrows provide a lot of space to work with, so you can fill them with colorful leaves, pumpkins, large gourds, cornstalks, mums and vines.
There’s just a few weeks left to get in the Thanksgiving spirit! Head over to fifthroom.com to see if there’s anything that will fit in your home for this Thanksgiving, or give one of our Project Advisors a call to brainstorm holiday gifts ideas for your loved ones – 1-888-293-2339.

What exactly is a Cannabinoid, anyhow?
How do they work in the human body?
The term “cannabinoid” refers is a class of molecules that are found in the Cannabis plant. To date there are currently more than one hundred known cannabinoids, with surely more yet to be discovered. Each cannabinoid varies slightly in chemical structure, shape and size. In this article we focus on the five most important Cannabinoids used in medicine today. Before we dive in, we will note that many researchers are finding that whole plant extracts containing a variety of Cannabinoids seem to provide the most benefits.
When you smoke, Vape, or ingest a Cannabis edible, the Cannabinoid ingredients are absorbed into the bloodstream and are transported to the entire body.
The two known types of cannabinoid receptors are called CB1 and CB2. Both are found throughout the body, but are most common in the brain and immune system. When cannabinoids activate CB1 or CB2 receptors, they change the way the body functions. CB1 receptors are responsible for marijuana's psychoactive effects.
Cannabinoid receptors, located in cells throughout the body, are part of the Endocannabinoid system which modulates physiological processes, including appetite, sensation, mood, immune system, circulatory system and memory and more.
Cannabinoid receptors are activated by endocannabinoids produced naturally in the human body, plant cannabinoids (such as Marijuana's THC and CBD). and synthetic (artificially made) cannabinoids (HU-210).
Medicinally, if the body's own endocannabinoid system is not working properly, for whatever reason.
There are two known types of cannabinoid receptors, but it looks like there may be more types. CB1 type receptor is found mainly in the brain, central nervous system tissues, with lesser amounts in the lungs, liver and kidneys. The CB2 receptor is found in immune system cells. There is speculation that a third cannabinoid receptor may exist in blood vessels, lymph system and possibly other cell types.
Cannabinoids and other compounds in Marijuana (such as Terpenes) interact and cause a different effect as compared to isolates. For example, THC taken alone may cause paranoia side effects, however THC taken with peppercorns mitigates paranoid feelings.
This Cannabinoid is the psychoactive component that gives Marijuana its naughty reputation. THC is also well established by researchers worldwide to treat many conditions and symptoms with minimal side effects.
Recently, attention has shifted from THC to another compound in marijuana called CBD. There is a recent avalanche of research findings that point to CBD's outstanding efficacy in a wide variety of conditions and disease symptoms.
CBC is generally the third most common cannabinoid in the marijuana strains. In some strains, CBC may even be dominance to CBD. Just like CBD, cannabichromene is non-psychoactive. CBC is effective on its own, but research indicate it works best with THC, CBD and / or other Cannabinoids.
420EVALUATIONSONLINE: If you would like to try a Marijuana strain or medicine containing the top 5 Cannabinoids listed here, you will most probably need a Medical Recommendation by a licensed medical marijuana doctor online. We provide online access to California licensed physicians that can give you a Marijuana Recommendation to treat your symptoms or conditions. Click here for an online Evaluation. It's free to apply and patients pay only when they are legally approved.
Other Products include: Medical marijuana card renewals, cannabis cards, medical marijuana online clinic consultations, 420 marijuana evaluations and online document verification - 24/7.

This week weve seen the recent set of financial results from both Microsoft, and its soon-to-be-acquired mobile phone business from Nokia.
Its pretty easy to paint a pretty picture for Microsoft. They beat the Streets expectations on revenue and earnings, and things are going well in terms of enterprise sales. On the consumer front, you could focus on the doubling of Surface sales and decent showing in Xbox sales.

Baghdad Messi tells the story of10-year-old Hamoudi, who is obsessed with football andworships Lionel Messi, as do all his friends. But on the eve of the long-awaited Champions League final between FC Barcelona and Manchester United, Hamoudi’s television set breaks down.

Sahim Omar Kalifa’s short film Bad Hunter has won the Jury Prize in the Muhr Short Film Competition at this year’s Dubai International Film Festival (10-17 December). It’s the third international award for Kalifa’s newest film, while his previous short Baghdad Messi continues its awards spree.
The Jury Prize comes with a sum of 25,000 AED (about $7,000) and is number three in the film’s awards tally. Bad Hunter previously won a Jury Award at the Montreal World Film Festival, where it premiered last summer; and picked up a Silver at Spike Valladolid.

Apple has upgraded its Mac Mini gadget adding speed and performance to it, though the reviews of its early users are sort of mixed, both likes and dislikes.
The main change is that Apple has removed the optical drive out of Mac Mini and had installed new Thunderbolt port which offers high speed input output port combining DisplayPort and PCI Express technologies. For average users it is like getting extremely fast connection for the huge files without using CDs and DVDs. The data transfer s accelerated to 10 gigabits per second which is 10000 times rapid than USB port.
Though CDs are still prominent in the market, this new innovation is a good deal in the long run.
As per the customers reviews, this new feature of Mac Mini is a welcoming update, for some, and is quiet competitive though there are few users who will take time in understanding the benefits of Thunderbolt port. If we look at the reviews of Twitter users, they are not happy with this upgradation. Managing editor of Engadget, Darren Murph, considers Apple’s Mac Mini to be a fine computer though recommended last year’s model which is available at lesser price now.
Also read: Why the mac mini is better than competitors.
Technology is getting advanced day by day. We may see something better than it in coming future.

On November 1st almost all the rooms of Good Game network (Natural8, BetKings Poker, BestPoker, AllInAsia) applied the new loyalty system. Instead of fixed rakeback of 35% a new system called Fish Buffet was implemented.
Fish Buffet is a VIP program based on cashback with whole range of new never-before-seen specialties in the world of online poker.
How does Fish Buffet operate?
1) Firstly, you have to sight up for it by clicking the button opt-in in the right top corner of the client.
2) After the moment you will start playing for real money, the process of accumulating special points -Fish Buffet Points (FP) – begins; the points are accounted as 1FP for 1 cent of rake.
3) Since that very moment meter of Fish Buffet levels begins to operate (the progress can be tracked in the section account bonuses at Fish Buffet, or by clicking the icon of the system next to the area opt-in button was situated).
4) There are 25 total levels and 8 statuses (Plankton, Shrimp, Goldfish, Crab, Octopus, Whale, Shark and VIP) at Fish Buffet. The first two and the last statuses have only 1 level. GoldFish and Crab have three levels each (bronze, silver, gold). Octopus, Whale, Shark have five levels each (bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond).
5) You have a certain period to reach every level – from 1 day to 3 months. After the player reaches the level, he gets an opportunity to make a spin at a special reel spin (poker account – bonuses – Fish Buffet). The reel is divided into sectors with bonuses of different sizes. First two levels have four of them, the others – six. The bonus on the reel goes straight for the account. Player is able to enter the new level.
6) Should the player fail to accumulate the required number of FP (500 to 300.000), counting will be annulled and you will start from the scratch.
7) Reel bonuses provide you with 10 to 100% cashback. Its maximal size depends on the level you reach: ащк 24-hour levels – 40%, 72-hour ones – 50%, 7-days bonuses have rakeback of 60%, while 15-days ones of 80% and 90-day bonuses have rakeback of 100%.
What is the probability of bonus at Fish Buffet reel?
Fish Buffet has announced cash back of 15% to 50%. This indirectly tells us that reel bonuses probability is quite random and doesn’t effect its size. The representatives of the room give us controversial information. Looks like we’ll be able to get a clear view on it in a few months when the players will count the probabilities.
The answer to this question is the most important for the regulars of GG network. If the probability of bonuses will depend on its size, this might lead to the situation when cashback on the distance will be at its minimum of 10%.
If the probability of bonuses will be equal for all sizes, Fish Buffet innovation may provide with increased percentage of rakeback for grinding players. This increase will be only notable in the long run as bonuses are random.
In general, we can say that Fish Buffet is hobby player-oriented system to support their activity in the room starting from the first days of play.
PokerProDeals provides all our players at all the Good Game network poker with the best conditions for the game.

Or if you sign up to Sprint, US, just deactivate.
Hope all is well , I've sent you a PM in order to gather some personal information regarding your request. Please check your forum in box for the message.
I have purchased FreedomPop iPhone 5 with Global SIM (628)212-0501 and now force to switch over to LTE sim. However, when I replace the FreedomPop LTE sim card on the iPhone 5, it seems a locked phone and need your assistance to unlocked. My Freedom iPhone 5 imei is 99 000228 695930 7.
@TLLim - if your Global SIM was working fine with the APN you created, then you only need to create a new APN for the new LTE SIM that you upgraded to. Go here to start - use fp.com.attz for APN value.

Though we’ve no doubt made progress when it comes to inclusion in Hollywood (good luck trying to cast Scarlett Johansson as a transgender man and/or Asian cyborg in 2019), it’s hardly gold stars across the board.
Most recently, Bryan Cranston (he was in that show about meth, remember?) was called out for his portrayal of a quadriplegic man in upcoming drama The Upside (a remake of France’s The Intouchables). Playing opposite Kevin Hart (so already one strike in on the “is this problematic?” scale), Cranston told Yahoo Movies UK that he was “very aware that an able-bodied person is sitting in a wheelchair” during the filming. Should the role have maybe gone to someone who actually sits in a wheelchair? Well, the Breaking Bad alum would like to leave that decision to the studios.
Twitter agreed that the status-driven casting process was part of the problem, leaving little room for disadvantaged lesser-knowns to break into the industry.
it feels like studios have no problem profiting off the pain of marginalized people and being called brave for telling their story but they don't actually want to empower them by giving them, you know, jobs and success. so they stay marginalized.
Bryan Cranston is trending for being cast as a quadriplegic man. I see lots of people defending him, saying it's his job as an actor. As a disabled actor myself, let me point out that such roles are the ONLY roles disabled actors would be considered for... yet we still aren't.
Still, many maintained their conviction that it's an actor's job to be someone they aren't and that the conversation about inclusion has taken a step too far.
New rule: @BryanCranston is only allowed to play Bryan Cranston in movies.
Bryan Cranston is being criticized for playing a quadriplegic. It was not long ago that we were half-jokingly saying "eventually people will even be mad about stuff like that!"

Nintendo today confirmed that Luigi’s Mansion 3 is currently in development for the Nintendo Switch.
The company made the announcement during today’s Nintendo Direct broadcast alongside a brief teaser trailer for the game. Not much is known apart from the fact that “Luigi’s Mansion 3” is the game’s working title, and that it will be releasing in 2019.
The trailer begins with Luigi’s stepping into a new haunted mansion. In the footage, we get a glimpse of several rooms including what look to be the estate’s grand foyer, dining hall, garage, and an art gallery. One piece of information that might shine a bit of light on the story is several pictures of what looks to be Luigi, Toad, Mario, and Princess Peach, several of which have X marks drawn on their faces. Is this some sort of hit list the ghouls are keeping? We’ll see when the game releases next year!
If you’re dying to take control of Nintendo’s perpetually-terrified plumber, you won’t have to wait too long to get your chance. Nintendo also announced that the original Luigi’s Mansion will be making its way to the 3DS on October 12, 2018, and will feature Amiibo support.

I don't think that using radical acceptance to embrace further negative self-talk is really the goal or purpose of radical acceptance.
From this book review, we learn that "Radical acceptance enables us to see more clearly and to learn how to hold our experiences with compassion."
People often misunderstand "acceptance" in a meditative context. It doesn't mean passive resignation. What radical acceptance means is acknowledging the way things are is the way they are. You don't have to like it, but you're not in denial about it. It means not running from any part of the experience. You open to it, bringing awareness to your pain or whatever is in front of you. - John Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D.
The above quotes are basic definitions of radical acceptance. It seems simple enough, but it is a very difficult concept to grasp. Links that will lead you to more information on radical acceptance can be found in the Mental Health Resources - Acceptance section.
You may also add your own links directly to the Web Links area!

There is a definite admirable quality in those teenagers who go out of their way to help others as they juggle family and school responsibilities and find their way in the world. Zoe Dae Ferraro, an 18-year-old senior at Bishop Kearney High School in Irondequoit, is a model of that virtue.
Zoe was crowed Pageant Queen at the 2015 Miss Puerto Rico of Rochester Cultural Pageant.
The pageant is a component of the annual Puerto Rican festival, a 48-year-old cultural celebration in a city that proudly boasts the state’s second-highest Puerto Rican population.
At first, the idea of a pageant turned Zoe off. “I realized, and I was taught, that it is a cultural pageant not a beauty pageant, so it doesn’t matter how you look,” Zoe said. Participants in the pageant must meet a litany of requirements, including a GPA minimum, a submitted essay and resume, volunteer service hours, personability, and knowledge of their heritage and origin in Puerto Rico. She and other contestants worked for weeks in preparation of the pageant — work that paid off with her victory.
She has continued her connection to her heritage by volunteering with ¡Soy Unica! ¡Soy Latina!, a local advocacy group that meant to provide Latina youth with confidence in their ethnicity through seminars and stations based on interests.
As a student at Bishop Kearney, Zoe exemplifies what a busy lifestyle can mean for teenagers. She runs three seasons of track and field: cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track; participates in National Honor Society; performs in the school’s musical each spring as lead dancer; is active in the school’s campus ministry; and performs volunteer service in the community.
That volunteer service earned Zoe the Do The Right Thing Award, an annual award given by the Rochester Police Department to foster a positive relationship between the police and Rochester youth.
It is not the recognition, but the work, that Zoe remembers.
She returned to her work with Greentopia as a favorite experience. Greentopia is a local advocacy group geared to developing sustainable green spaces in the city of Rochester. Zoe’s grandfather, Martin Pedraza, works as a civilian advocate for city green spaces, enabling Zoe to grow up around nature and gardens.
“I felt really empowered teaching them something I already knew,” she said.
As a graduating senior, next up is college and Zoe has applied to Fordham, Syracuse, Cornell, University of Buffalo, and St. John Fisher. She intends to study political science and social services in college with the goal of becoming a lawyer practicing children’s law, advocating for children in custody cases, welfare cases, or juvenile justice.
“I feel very connected to kids who have had hard home lives and hard backgrounds, and I feel like they cannot cognitively represent themselves appropriately in court, if say something like sexual harassment happens at home, or domestic violence, so I’d like to advocate for them,” Zoe said.
To put it simply, Baylee Morrison is doing what she loves. The 13-year-old is a student at Palmyra-Macedon Middle School who works professionally as a dancer, singer, actress, and model.
Baylee has sung the national anthem more than 200 times at sporting events, from the Amerks to the Buffalo Bills to NASCAR races.
And it all started with karaoke. On vacation, her grandpa encouraged her to sing with a karaoke machine in the lobby of their hotel. At first, she was nervous about it, “but I decided on doing it, and when I got there I sang 50 songs because I loved doing it. That’s when I figured out I loved performing in front of people.
After that, it was the national anthem at Palmyra’s local dirt track and ultimately the Buffalo Bills.
But that visit to the Bills’ stadium included a mix up with famed Bills quarterback Jim Kelly.
“I went up to him and I thought it was Jim Carrey, so I was like ‘Hi, Jim Carrey!’ and my mom’s like ‘It’s Jim Kelly’ and I was like ‘Oh...hey!’” Baylee said.
Baylee met Elvio through participation in Camp ROC Star, of which she is now in the ROC Star Academy, the year- round evolution of the summer camp, and performs with the band she formed there.
“It’s amazing, he’s such a good guy... it was really fun getting advice from him,” Baylee said of Elvio.
Baylee is represented professionally by Mary Therese Friel, LLC, a modeling agency based in Mendon, which is fostering a professional arrangement for Baylee with Damon Elliott, a producer who works with Beyoncé, Britney Spears, and Christina Aguilera.
Jeremiah West, 12, and his brother Joshua West, 9, are true champions of change.
For their continued and tireless work of helping the homeless, they’ve been guests at the White House and also on Ellen.
(And although Jeremiah is a few months’ shy of being a teenager, the West brothers are clearly Terrific Pre-Teens, so we happily include them in this feature).
The West brothers fundraise and organize events for the needy in Rochester year-round, with a focus on helping the homeless. They have presented at the local TEDx conference and have written and published two books: Champions of Change: Live to Give and Champions of Change: Princess for a Day, which have sold more than 7,000 copies.
Jeremiah and Joshua are featured on Rochester news outlets regularly for their work and have received recognition from Mayor Lovely Warren and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. News of their good work reached Ellen Degeneres, who featured the family on her show in September 2017.
“The impact they have had in Rochester has been amazing,” Degeneres said on air during the interview with the Wests. (To see video of this show, Google “Ellen Champions of Change”).
Champions of Change also organizes events, such as the Fight Cancer with Camren Fun Run in 2014, to benefit a six- year-old Rochester boy with cancer.
“We raised enough money to help him with his medical bills,” Joshua said. Today Camren is cancer-free, and his mother has begun fundraising efforts for families with children with cancer inspired by the West’s work.
Despite their busy lives of entrepreneurship and charity work, Jeremiah and Joshua find time for fun, playing basketball and video games. The Wests are homeschooled and also attend community classes.
The Wests are expanding their organization to Charlotte, N.C., an effort begun while on an extended stay taking care of their great-grandmother with their parents. Sales from their book in Charlotte have been donated to children in homeless shelters.

Young actors and models in the spotlight, the ones we see on television or in a magazine, seem almost unattainable, unknowable people, blessed with fortunate circumstances that earned them the rare opportunity of having their name in lights.
But Tyler Aser, a 15-year-old model and actress based in Webster, defies that perception, with her immediate friendliness and eagerness to reach out to others.
Tyler began her career with classes at RAPA (Rochester Association of Performing Arts), an organization in the city known for classes and productions tailored toward educating young people in theater.
“I love playing sad or happy roles,” she said. “I would say I’m best at playing a character with attitude or drama. It’s teenage-kinda life, so it comes naturally,” Tyler said, laughing.
She has been the lead in two local short films and the principal in three others, as well as an “extra” (crowd-scene or background actress) in national shows on CBS, Fox, and Comedy Central.
She evolved her acting interests into modeling and has found great success, appearing on the cover of the first issue of NYFW Magazine and modeling for Love Baby J Couture.
Locally, she is represented by Two Sues Casting & Coaching and was a leading contender in the categories of Top Female Model and Best Actress for the 2018 Roc Awards. Tyler attends high school in Webster.

For decades, the Washington Post building at 15th and L Streets in downtown Washington, DC was the beating heart of a city chock-full of significant addresses. Carr Properties has reignited this location with the construction of Midtown Center, an architectural focal point – notable in location, design, and offerings. Joining this roster of sought-after restaurateurs and high-demand retailers is Dauphine’s: a new restaurant inspired by the culinary culture of New Orleans. The space will be brought to life by the Long Shot Hospitality group [Long Shot], and will feature the tasteful and approachable cuisine of co-proprietor executive chef Kyle Bailey, who is known for his successful coastal approach at The Salt Line in DC’s Navy Yard. For authenticity and flair in its beverage program, Dauphine’s is partnering with the acclaimed New Orleans based cocktail experts of behind CureCo., a collection of renowned bars and restaurants in New Orleans including Cane & Table and Cure, the latter of which was named the winner of the 2018 James Beard Foundation Award for Outstanding Bar Program.
The multi-level establishment with a spirited outdoor alley, adorned with an inviting bar and casual dining tables, will open in Fall 2019 – a drinking and dining destination bringing distinct flavors of New Orleans to Washington’s business district. It anchors the striking 14-story mixed use complex, one of the biggest construction projects in the nation’s capital in recent years, designed to achieve LEED® Gold certification.
Designed by Grizform Design Architects and the General Design Company, the firms behind the handsome and versatile atmosphere of The Salt Line, Long Shot’s popular oyster-and-ale house at the Navy Yard. The team is channeling the spirit of New Orleans ‘grande dame’ restaurants, dispensing with tablecloths and evoking the tropical city’s warmth, color, and layered history in a clean, clear style befitting the contemporary glass setting. A palette of rich greens and corals, graphic floor tiles, modern bistro seating, playful patterns, lush ferns, and strong references to New Orleans’ ubiquitous wrought iron. Central charcuterie and raw bars beneath a dramatic pavilion, a sunken dining room, and a mezzanine dining level offer a variety of spaces under the same roof, while the adjacent outdoor space will be a more casual open-air gathering place, sheltered from the elements and complete with fountain and fire pit.
In the kitchen, Chef Kyle Bailey, hailed by Food & Wine as “People’s Best New Chef,” will be showcasing the whole impressive range of his skill set, from seafood to charcuterie, as applied to a menu based on New Orleans favorites. The power of his award-winning cuisine is in the integrity of its ingredients, which he sources with near-obsessive diligence in creating his raw bar offerings, savory snacks, small plates, sandwiches, and entrées.
The Long Shot team is partnering with CureCo. owner, Neal Bodenheimer, and Bar Director, Ryan Gannon, who will be developing the beverage program at Dauphine’s. The long-distance relationship has been decades in the making: Long Shot partner and third-generation publican Gavin Coleman, a devotee of New Orleans, has been a close friend of Bodenheimer. Fulfilling his dream of opening an establishment that would be an ode to the city that invented the cocktail, it was only natural that he should partner with his acclaimed colleague to bring the storied cocktail culture of the Crescent City to the nation’s capital. Bodenheimer and Gannon foresee a list of refined New Orleans cocktail classics and thoughtful riffs on classics offered inside the restaurant, and a more playful selection – still recognizably associated with the Crescent City – available outside.
Long Shot Hospitality (LSH) is a Washington, DC-based restaurant group led by award-winning Chef Kyle Bailey, Jeremy Carman, Gavin Coleman, and Paul Holder who continue to be industry leaders in sustainability and environmental stewardship. The partners’ collective expertise shines in the growing range of LSH properties known for great atmosphere, reliable service, excellent food, and a friendly vibe.
Carr Properties is a privately held real estate investment trust that owns, manages, acquires and develops high-quality office properties in Washington, DC and Boston, Massachusetts. The company currently owns a portfolio of 17 commercial office properties totaling approximately 4.7 million square feet, as well as a pipeline of five development projects that includes: The Wilson and The Elm Development in Bethesda, MD; Signal House in the Union Market area of Washington; and One Congress in Boston. Upon completion, these projects will add 2.4 million SF of trophy-quality office space to the company’s portfolio. The company is continuing to expand its portfolio through strategic investments in the Washington and Boston areas.
