Dancing With the Stars' 17th season officially kicked off Monday night with 12 celebrity dancers, but one star who isn't even competing stole the spotlight in the ballroom!
Jennifer Lopez made a surprise appearance on the ABC reality hit's opening night along with beau Casper Smart to support her BFF Leah Remini, who scored a solid 21 points from the judges and even made Lopez shed a tear!
E! News chatted with Remini backstage after the show to find out what Lopez said to her, while Snooki, Elizabeth Berkley and more dish on dancing in front of the superstar. Plus, early frontrunner Amber Riley talks about receiving support from her Glee cast members and Jack Osbourne tells us what father Ozzy Osbourne thinks of his son competing on DWTS!
"She thought I did great!" Remini says of what Lopez told her after the show. "She gave it her all and I couldn't be more proud of her," Lopez tweeted post-performance.
But Remini wasn't the only celeb dancer excited to see Lopez in the audience. "I've known Casper for a while now and I didn't even know they were going to be here, so that was really cool," Riley says of the American Idol judge's appearance, while Corbin Bleu gushes, "That's so cool and she's gorgeous! She's fly!" Snooki was even more thrilled over Lopez's appearance, saying, "Who can say they danced in front of J.Lo?! I love her, she's amazing! She's supporting everybody, so it's cool!"
And while Lopez is a skilled dancer, her presence didn't make Berkley nervous. "I know her, so it didn't make me as nervous. I respect her as a dancer for sure and she's worked hard for a lot of years, so she's definitely someone I respect," the Saved By the Bell star tells us.
But Remini wasn't the only dancer to have some special guests in the audience as Riley's Glee co-stars Chris Colfer, Kevin McHale and Jenna Ushkowitz gave her a standing ovation after her performance, which garnered a record-tying 27 points. "Right after we performed, I ran over there and gave them all a hug," Riley says. "When I came out all of them were smiling and my mom and my dad and my aunt and my grandmother and everybody was here!"
Sharon Osbourne got emotional while watching Jack Osbourne perform his first dance of the season, crying after he finished. "I was like, sorry I made you cry! Clearly she liked it, I think," he tells us. "It was either that or, ‘Oh, I can't believe my kid is so screwed up!'"
But what does his dad Ozzy think of his decision to perform on DWTS? "It's good to have family support; it's also equally nerve-wrecking, especially for my dad," he explains. "My dad is, yeah he's Ozzy Osbourne, but he's also kind of stoic to a degree. It's kind of interesting. I have to wonder if he's sitting there like, 'I can't believe my son is dancing,' in a good way or a bad thing. I don't know! I think it is a good thing!"
For more DWTS scoop straight from the cast, tune into E! News at 7 and 11:30 p.m. Tuesday night.

Solihull is one of the first areas in England to benefit from the government’s £80 million Green Recovery Challenge Fund - as a partner in Warwickshire Wildlife Trust’s Love Your River Cole environmental project. Both Meriden Park and the historic parkland at Castle Bromwich Gardens will see investment and improvements through the project.
The Love Your River Cole project (LYRiC) partnership led by Warwickshire Wildlife Trust has been awarded £705,000 from the government’s Green Recovery Challenge Fund to help transform the Cole Valley in the West Midlands.
The River Cole and its valley form a fantastic green corridor connecting wildlife and linking the centre of Birmingham to rural North Warwickshire. A vision for the valley was developed with the support of the Environment Agency and this funding will play a major part in helping make it a reality.
Alongside Solihull Council, the partners include: The B37 Project, Birmingham City Council, Castle Bromwich Hall and Gardens Trust, North Warwickshire Borough Council, The Prince’s Trust, Warwickshire Wildlife Trust and The Wildlife Trust for Birmingham and the Black Country.
LYRiC will deliver improvements to various key locations in the valley including Glebe Farm in Birmingham, Meriden Park and the historic parkland at Castle Bromwich Gardens in Solihull and Cole End Park in North Warwickshire. The valley is a fantastic haven for wildlife and works will involve tree planting, wild flower meadows and wetland habitat creation as well as improvements to access through paths and trails. The valley is highly valued green space for the communities that live alongside it and the project includes local partners such as The B37 Project to help involve and engage local people as fully as possible.
The funding will also support local green jobs and provide a boost to the local economy. The project includes six traineeships to give people the experience and accredited training to pursue a career in the environmental sector. Through The Prince’s Trust a particular focus will be working with local young people to give them first-hand experience of their local environment and to help support them in finding work or further training.
Solihull Council’s Cabinet Member for Environment and Highways, Cllr Ken Hawkins, said: “I am delighted that this project – led by Warwickshire Wildlife Trust – has been awarded £705k to carry out this vital work. ‘Love Your River Cole’ will bring huge environmental improvements to the area, benefitting local people and local wildlife alike. The project also includes six trainee posts which will give local people valuable skills and experience for work in the growing environmental sector.”
Ian Wykes, the Programme Manager for Warwickshire Wildlife Trust, said: “To have secured this funding is a tremendous achievement and is real testament to how partners can work together to make a real difference on the ground. The Covid crisis has demonstrated how valuable local green spaces are and this funding will go along away to improve these for people and wildlife.”
The Green Recovery Challenge Fund is a key part of the government’s 10 Point Plan to kick-start nature recovery and tackle climate change. The fund is being delivered by the National Lottery Heritage Fund in partnership with Natural England and the Environment Agency.
68 projects have been awarded grants between £62k and £3.8 million for nature-based projects while creating and retaining jobs. The first funding round will see a £40 million pot allocated, with the second round of funding opening in early 2021.

John Bolton hasn't told us anything we didn't already know
Former National Security Adviser John Bolton would like you to think that former National Security Adviser John Bolton is having a moment. This week, minutes after an apparent embargo was lifted off reviews of his forthcoming memoir about life inside the Trump administration, a barrage of excerpts, reviews, and analysis of Bolton's accounts flooded the cursed political corners of media Twitter before evolving to their final form: cable news fodder.
The accusations — carefully sidestepped by Fox News, while breathlessly dissected everywhere else — are, in and of themselves, shocking: that the president begged foreign powers to help him win re-election; that he didn't know basic facts of world geography; that he enthusiastically endorsed the development of Chinese concentration camps. Taken in aggregate, Bolton offers a description of a president exemplified by staggering stupidity and casual cruelty.
The thing is, who cares?
To clarify: Everyone should care very deeply that the president of the United States is, per his own former national security adviser, a paranoid, malignant dunce. But there is absolutely no one on Earth who should give a single solitary second of thought to what John Bolton has to say about Trump, or anything else, really.
Nothing in the portions of Bolton's book that have been released so far tell us anything we didn't already know. Sure, the details are grisly and salacious, but was the general public really unaware until now that Trump can be deeply ignorant, profoundly vain, and very cruel?
Consider the following: Bolton accuses Trump of "turn[ing] the conversation [with Chinese President Xi Jinping] to the coming U.S. presidential election, alluding to China’s economic capability to affect the ongoing campaigns, pleading with Xi to ensure he’d win."
Taken alone, it's a devastating accusation. But is it really any different from the very public behavior we've seen from the president for years now? Urging Russia to hack then-candidate Hillary Clinton's emails and pressuring Ukraine to investigate now-presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden are all part of the same pattern. The details may change, but the underlying truth remains the same: Trump is open to inviting foreign interference in the American democratic process.
Each thing Bolton alleges in his book is something he could have very easily testified about to Congress.
Or take Bolton's claim that the president thought Finland was part of Russia. If the allegation is true, it's the sort of boneheadedness that would flunk most 10th graders, to say nothing of the head of a global superpower. But did we really not know that the president is largely clueless about and uninterested in the world around him? He thinks there's an AIDS vaccine! (There isn't.) He stared directly at an eclipse! (Don't do that.) He thinks injecting a person with bleach and sunlight will cure diseases! (It will kill you.) Again, the allegation Bolton levels is alarming, but it's not revealing a characteristic about Trump that we didn't know already.
Finally, there's what is perhaps Bolton's most horrifying charge against the president — that during a conversation with the Chinese leader at a G20 summit, Trump explicitly said "that Xi should go ahead with building" the concentration camps China has used to imprison as many as 1 million Uighur Muslims for what observers have decried as essentially amounting to state-sponsored brainwashing.
Trump, per Bolton, thought that building the concentration camps was "was exactly the right thing to do."
Clearly, the idea of a president endorsing the construction and use of concentration camps is nauseating, but all the more so when you remember that the Trump administration has itself done essentially that with its network of immigrant detention centers and policy of family separation for undocumented migrants. Of course Trump would be cool with China's concentration camps — he's been a fan of the practice domestically for years.
So, if Bolton isn't telling us something we don't already know, what good is he, or his book? The answer is: None at all.
Remember, Bolton is a deeply Islamophobic warmonger who, despite his ex post facto alleged misgivings about the president, nevertheless remained the longest serving national security adviser the Trump administration has employed to date.
Remember also that each thing Bolton alleges in his book is something he could have very easily testified about to Congress when he was called as a witness during the impeachment proceedings against the president. Instead, he chose to fight the call to testify, saving his juicy tales of presidential intrigue and idiocy for his multi-million-dollar book deal.
Despite his (much belated) calls for Trump's removal, John Bolton is, above all else, a cowardly opportunist who was happy to push his own agenda under Trump, and is now just as happy to capitalize off his newfound moral backbone. Don't buy it, and don't buy his book, either.

The Indonesian Government Just Obliterated This Notorious Illegal Fishing Ship
Sometimes environmentalism is really fucking metal.
If you’re going to fish the high seas illegally, you’d be wise to avoid Indonesian waters. The government sent the message loud and clear this week when it blew up and sank the FV Viking, a notorious fishing vessel on Interpol’s most wanted list.
The Viking was the last of six vessels targeted by Sea Shepherd International for poaching toothfish, also known as Chilean sea bass. Sea Shepherd’s MV Steve Irwin caught the Viking in Indonesian waters last month and alerted authorities.
Indonesia has taken a strong stance against illegal fishing, making it an outlier in an area that notoriously lacks monitoring and enforcement. The government has ended the operations of 150 poaching vessels, according to the Jakarta Globe.
The vessel in question had changed its name 13 times and flown 12 different flags in an effort to evade authorities. Eleven crew members — from Burma, Indonesia, Argentina, and Peru — have been arrested and could face up to seven years in prison and $1.5 million in fines.
Indonesia has launched an investigation, with support from Canada and Norway, to find the ship’s owner and prevent more poaching vessels from being launched.
Sea Shepherd, meanwhile, has turned its sights to the Indian Ocean, where it will target illegal driftnet fishing. Driftnets indiscriminately trap and eventually kill all creatures that become entangled in them, including sharks, whales, and dolphins. The UN banned the use of large-scale driftnets on the high seas in 1993.
Earlier this year the Steve Irwin came across six vessels in the Indian Ocean using driftnets illegally. After running off one of the boats, the crew pulled three miles of abandoned nets on board, along with the bodies of 321 dead or dying fish, sharks, seals, and dolphins. In the coming days the ship will return to that part of the ocean to confront the fleet, document its activities, and destroy its fishing gear.
“The role of the Steve Irwin and its crew is to expose this illegality to the world and work inside this enforcement vacuum to shut them down,” said Steve Irwin Captain Siddharth Chakravarty in the YouTube video announcing the campaign launch.

For the Capital Press
TOKYO -- Japan's fresh California strawberry imports appear poised to rise again this year.
The market here took in almost 3,110 tons of California strawberries in 2010 and increased 1 percent to 3,140 tons last year, Japan Ministry of Finance data show.
Demand appears to increasing, industry insiders say.
Major fruit importer Royal sourced 250 tons two years ago, 262 tons in 2011, and plans to import 300 tons this year, Toyohito Ueda, the company's fruits division general manager, said.
"Many big supermarkets have launched sales for the first time this year," Ueda said. The strawberries are used as an ingredient in fruit salads and sliced fruits.
Aeon Group manages 1,900 supermarkets in Japan. The company plans to increase purchases from 13 tons last year to 40 this year, Tomokazu Ishii of Aeon's agricultural products group said.
"(California strawberries are) not a strongly acidic variety suitable for industrial use, but one good as a fresh table strawberry, which meets our standards," Ishii said.
The California Strawberry Commission ended all of its export promotion programs this year. The former Japan representative, Scott Hitchman, president of Milton Group, still represents the Washington State Department of Agriculture as well as the Washington State Fruit Commission and Northwest Cherry Growers.
Hitchman said that through his Tokyo-based marketing firm's efforts, 13-outlet Costco Wholesale Japan started selling California strawberries in 2009.
Costco buyer Tomoko Shibata refused to answer questions regarding her chain's strawberry business.
"It's confidential," Shibata said.
Last November, however, the "Shopping Paradise" television program featured Costco Japan, and its top 10 best-selling items. California strawberries were sixth.
"They have made it a strategic item in their fresh produce segment as a result and promoted aggressively with us the last couple of years," Hitchman said.
Skylark Group manages 2,800 pastry shops and restaurants, which use strawberries in parfaits, sundaes and cakes.
The company used 200 tons of California strawberries last year, an 11 percent increase from 180 in 2010, Tatsuya Ishida of Skylark's purchasing department said.
This year, however, purchases will go down 40 percent to 120 tons. "That's because our Gusto restaurant chain (about 300 outlets) has switched to other fruits," Ishida said.
Market players here said the main appeal of California strawberries is their availability during the off-season of Japanese strawberries.

Revis is hoping to continue his playing career in 2017, Alex Butler of United Press International reports.
Revis -- who'll turn 32 in July -- was cut by the Jets in February following one of the worst seasons of his career. He's been training in Florida this offseason and said he's willing to move to safety if need be. However, ESPN's Rich Cimini reported in May that a group of NFL officials said the consensus is that there's no market for the veteran cornerback due to his significant decline in 2016 and "whispers about his commitment." On the bright side for Revis, he's still guaranteed $6 million from the Jets this season even if he doesn't play.

When: Aug. 16-17, 2018
Where: BioFrontiers Institute, Boulder, Colorado
News coverage: Conference brings experts in regenerative medicine to CU Boulder
The Precision Biomaterials IRT is thrilled to announce the RegenerativeBIOX Conference. This is BioFrontier's fourth bi-annual scientific symposium and workshop, which will be focused on the burgeoning field of regenerative medicine. The event will actively engage scientists and engineers from academia, national laboratories and industry in an event that spans a day and a half with a program that includes a symposium and interactive workshop. The primary goal of this event is to identify grand challenges and opportunities in the broad area of regenerative medicine that require convergent research approaches.
Our 2018 event will depart from the traditional pure symposium format and instead will include a half-day symposium featuring 9 science and engineering leaders in specific areas of interest, followed by a series of working group sessions involving 100 participants from diverse fields and sectors, to discuss grand challenges and opportunities in three key domains:
- advances in the chemistry and processing of precision biomaterials
- in vitro tissue and disease models
- manipulating tissue regeneration and biological responses in vivo
It is our hope that these discussions will capture a snapshot not only of where we are in these areas but, more importantly, where we are going, in a way that can be summarized in at the end of the event and then be documented in a perspective piece or review article for publication in an appropriate venue. We hope to establish distinct collaborative clusters of participants who together, have the collective interests and expertise needed to tackle the challenges and seize the opportunities that emerge from these discussions and can continue collaborating long after the workshop is over.
April 2018 Scientific Futures Event
When: Friday, April 6th, 3:30-5 p.m.

No matter what hobby, trusted online casino casino job, or task you pursue, everybody has one common goal: to get better. Sport betting is no different. You could have started to bet on sports for fun, or simply to make just a little more money. Still, just like anything else, there will come a time when you want to step up to the next level with sports betting. In this particular article, we have been going to take a look-at what that next level looks like, what it means, and what kind of things to do when you get there.
In our article for beginner sports bettors, we talked a lot about the money line and also the point spread. They are the two most frequent types of bets that people place in sports betting; should you not determine what we are talking about go back to the beginner section and wait at least a year before attempting the next step in your sports betting career!
At the intermediate level, you will need to be aware of more than just the definitions of the point spread and the money line; you may need to know very well what each means when it comes to the money you stand to win or to lose.
Keep in mind both the point spread and the money line are reflections of betting action, certainly not the skill of a team. Therefore the better those who bet on one team, the more the bookmakers will shift the lines to favor the underdogs.
In addition to watching the lines and also the spreads a bit more carefully, intermediate sports betting involves a whole new range of available bets.
When you were just starting out, comprehending lines and spreads probably took up most of your time. Now that you’ll be ready for a little little more action, and also have those two basic types down, it’s time to look at a couple of more sports betting options. Below are a few of your choices:
Parlays: With a parlay card, you bet on several teams to win. You may bet up to 12 games on a parlay card, but every team must win in order for you to get your hard earned money back plus the payout. You will need to know your sport very well, and also then parlays are a big risk. Still, they generally provide a higher payout for less cash.
Teasers: Should you not like the points a book is offering on a spread, you may opt for a teaser. With a teaser, you bet on a couple of different teams, and you may take points from one and provide them to another to ensure that the spread is more favorable. Expect a lower payout, but some really good manipulation will give you a higher chance at a win than if you took the original points provided by the book.
Futures: If you REALLY know your game, you might consider making future bets. They are placed at the beginning of the season, or at the beginning of playoffs. You can bet on a team to place first in their division, conference, or perhaps win the Big Prize at the end of the season. The more teams competing for placement (as an example, less teams are trying to win the American League than are in the running for the World Series trophy) the bigger the odds, and that implies an even better payout if you call it right.
With a larger level of understanding generally comes more money wagered. Simply, remember to watch your bankroll. At the intermediate level you may wish to increase the amount of cash you bet, but stay in a limit you set for yourself at the beginning of each betting season.

Arterial Ischemic Stroke occurs when blood flow in an artery to the brain is blocked due to narrowness of the artery or the formation of a blood clot. Neonatal (i.e. newborn) Arterial Ischemic Stroke grimly means there is a condition specific to infants. Woefully little is known about NAIS, but it can certainly lead to lifelong disabilities and/or brain injury. Currently, there is no effective treatment.
The main thing to consider when figuring out how to find the right strength CBD oil is to realize that everyone’s internal biochemistry is different – while your friend may be able to relieve her anxiety with just a single 3 mg dose, you may require several times that much in order to obtain the same results. Or, you may not find any relief at all. This is why it’s important to start off with the smallest possible dose, and work up from there.
Where do you buy CBD oils? You may have noticed that CBD products are everywhere these days. You can easily find CBD oil and other products online and in certain health food/vitamin stores or spas. To separate the highest quality products from the rest, look for one that has a certificate of analysis, or COA. This means that the manufacturer tests the product for contaminants, and it meets lab standards.

Ranging from irritating to debilitating, joint pain can be tricky to treat. If your pain is mild, ibuprofen or acetaminophen might be adequate. But the worse it gets, the more likely you are to be prescribed antidepressants, muscle relaxants, or even opioids. Because of the side effects associated with these prescription medications, there has been quite a bit of research on CBD and joint pain — with promising results. Here are a few studies that point to CBD’s potential:
Research on CBD and anxiety has generally looked at cannabis as a whole product, not as CBD as a standalone compound. Some studies suggest that it can help with anxiety: like this 2011 study that suggests CBDcan reduce social anxiety or this 2015 review that says CBD could be promising for many forms of anxiety. It’s also important to consider whether the CBD comes from the cannabis plant and therefore may include THC, a cannabinoid that for some, induces anxiety. Read our comprehensive article on CBD and anxiety, here.
In fact, not only will CBD not make you high, it has been proven to counteract the psychoactivity of THC. This property makes CBD highly useful as a medical treatment for a wide range of conditions. In terms of the CBD products you can buy, the amount of THC present varies from none at all in a pure CBD Isolate to a minimal amount (less than 0.3%) in a Full-Spectrum CBD product.
But because all these products are illegal according to the federal government, cannabis advocates are cautious. “By and large, the federal government is looking the other way,” says Paul Armentano, deputy director of the Washington, DC–based National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), but until federal laws are changed, “this administration or a future one could crack down on people who produce, manufacture, or use CBD, and the law would be on its side.”
Other targets for CBD include transient receptor potential (TRP) channels that are involved with the modulation of intracellular calcium (1, 6). Cannabinoids are highly lipophilic, allowing access to intracellular sites of action, resulting in increases in calcium in a variety of cell types including hippocampal neurons. CBD actions on calcium homeostasis may provide a basis for CBD neuroprotective properties.
In addition to acting on the brain, CBD influences many body processes. That’s due to the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which was discovered in the 1990s, after scientists started investigating why pot produces a high. Although much less well-known than the cardiovascular, reproductive, and respiratory systems, the ECS is critical. “The ECS helps us eat, sleep, relax, forget what we don’t need to remember, and protect our bodies from harm,” Marcu says. There are more ECS receptors in the brain than there are for opioids or serotonin, plus others in the intestines, liver, pancreas, ovaries, bone cells, and elsewhere.
After consulting with Amanda Chantal Bacon of Moon Juice, I decided to invest in a bottle of Gone Green Hemp CBD Oil in the 500mg tincture. Gone Green is a really incredible company that only sources the best herbs, adaptogens, and superfoods, so I knew I would be getting a very high-quality product when I grabbed their bottle off of Moon Juice’s shelf. You can buy Gone Green’s Hemp CBD Oil online—it’s 100% legal in all 50 states. They have the best customer service ever, and they carry tons of other fantastic products that any health-conscious person would love!

These trichomes are tiny, hair-like crystals that cover the leaves and buds of the cannabis plant. Trichomes product the hundreds of known cannabinoids that can be found in cannabis. Of the 100+ cannabinoids that have been identified in the cannabis species, CBD and THC have been studied the most extensively for their role in the endocannabinoid system.
Although I’m no physician, and am not qualified to recommend any drugs for any specific medical purposes, and you should consult your doctor when considering the consumption of anything that may be medicinal: If you’re looking to experiment with CBD products, you might consider looking for CBD products that are “whole plant” extract based from very high CBD cultivars. If you’re in a State that has a legal Cannabis system, you may also find more therapeutic benefits from non-hemp derived CBD products.
Social media is blasting this one out lately, showing that different parents have been treating their children illegally (in states that are not classed as medical states) to help prevent their children from having seizures or deal with epilepsy. While there has been limited scientific evidence on the topic, 2016 was a major turning point for the plant as a major study was conducted by Orrin Devinsky, a neurologist at New York University Langone Medical Center, showing profound results.
The interest and preference for botanical remedies such as CBD oil over harsh pharmaceuticals are growing rapidly. You can read scientific research on the promise of CBD Oil at NCBI. While North America is taking the lead legalizing cannabis and hemp the rest of the world is starting to question their stance on prohibition because of the undeniable benefits. While all talk about plant-based remedies may seem very new, using cannabis/hemp tinctures as a holistic remedy is a generations-old tradition. It was very common to use tinctures of cannabis oil in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. We are enjoying a renaissance in ancestral health where we are open again to remedies that were all but forgotten about in the mad race to make medicines a pill offered by a faceless often unaccountable corporation.
Generalized pain, for instance, has dozens upon dozens of high profile research and clinical studies that have been carried out in universities and laboratories around the globe. One of the most well-publicized of these studies took place back in 2008, in which results determined that “cannabinoid analgesics (pain relievers) have generally been well tolerated in clinical trials … with acceptable adverse event profiles (meaning acceptable effectiveness for practical use).
Using rigorous review methodology, Gloss and Vickery conclude that based on the low quality of the reports available, there is insufficient data available to draw any conclusions regarding the efficacy and or long-term safety of CBD in treating epilepsy (11). From the data available, it does appear that daily doses of 200 to 300 mg were safe in this small group of patients for a short period of time (14).
If you haven’t been bombarded with CBD marketing or raves about it from friends, get ready. This extract—which comes from either marijuana or its industrial cousin, hemp—is popping up everywhere. There are CBD capsules, tinctures, and liquids for vaping plus CBD-infused lotions, beauty products, snacks, coffee, and even vaginal suppositories. Already some 1,000 brands of CBD products are available in stores—and online in states that don’t have lenient cannabis laws. This is a tiny fraction of what’s to come: The CBD market is poised to exceed $22 billion by 2022, per the Chicago-based research firm Brightfield Group.
In your internet travels, you may also come across products called “terpsolates.” The manufacturers of these products infuse CBD Isolate with terpenes (but not cannabinoids like THC). These terpenes may enhance the effectiveness of CBD — or maybe they just make it smell good. This may be a good place to point out that not all CBD products are created equal. The industry is still largely unregulated, and the quality and quantity of CBD in a given product will vary wildly. Third-party testing definitely helps to monitor companies’ claims, but it’s still up to you as the consumer to do your homework on the best CBD products.
Our hemp oil tinctures offer the most accessible means to getting started with CBD hemp oil supplements. Registering our lowest price point among our products, our 1 oz tinctures contain the lowest concentration of CBD in our products. With around 1 mg of CBD per serving, our 1 oz tinctures are good for those looking to integrate the smallest amount of CBD into their daily routine. The tinctures in the 2 oz bottle add 2.5 times the potency, for a total of 500 mg per 2 oz bottle.

On the validity of IR spectra obtained by using diffuse reflectance or transmittance.
A numerical study on the validity of the conventional method, by using reflectance and transmittance measurements, for estimating the relative concentration of species in a gas mixture is presented. It is demonstrated that the use of both reflectance and transmittance values leads to a biased estimation of the concentration of a species if the concentration of another species, which is invisible, is high enough. It is also shown that, if the concentration of this invisible species is known, the use of its reflectance and transmittance values leads to a biased estimation of the concentration of the species that is visible.Thursday, July 25, 2012
I was bored and ready for some reading. I’m always ready for a new book to read. I had a few choices on my mind. I actually had quite a few. I’d had The Hunger Games (by Suzanne Collins) on my mind. I thought I’d give it a shot. I usually don’t like those post-apocalyptic novels, but I’ll read anything if it’s going to be good. Unfortunately, The Hunger Games did nothing for me. It wasn’t bad; just not nearly as good as the cover made it look.
It was a different story, however, with We Own the Night by Chelsea Cain. I had never heard of this book, and I’m glad I had the opportunity to read it. I was absolutely enthralled. There was a lot of suspense in this book, and I was scared at times. Chelsea Cain knows how to write a good thriller. I’m very glad that I picked this book up. I definitely would recommend it to others.
The story, itself, is about a cop from Virginia who’s

TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami/NSF) – Lawyers for Gov. Ron DeSantis and Attorney General Ashley Moody have asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of a measure that the Legislature approved to crack down on violent protests.
Groups such as the Dream Defenders and the Florida State Conference of the NAACP filed the lawsuit last month, contending that the measure (HB 1), which DeSantis signed into law April 19, will have a “chilling” effect on protected speech and violates equal protection and due-process rights.
DeSantis made the issue a priority after nationwide protests last summer following the death of George Floyd, a Black man who was killed by a Minneapolis police officer.
In motions filed this week to dismiss the lawsuit, attorneys for DeSantis and Moody raised a series of arguments, including saying that the measure does not curb free-speech rights of peaceful protesters.
“The act does not discourage, much less prohibit, any person from peacefully assembling, demonstrating, or speaking on any issue,” the brief by DeSantis’ lawyers said. “The act does not even apply to peaceful demonstrations or forms of expression. Rather, it outlaws people coming together, regardless of their motivation, to commit violence, damage property, or intimidate others into assuming or abandoning a viewpoint against their will. Prohibiting violence and destruction does not restrict constitutionally protected expression — only dangerous, unlawful behavior.”
The case, filed in federal court in Tallahassee, is being handled by Chief U.S. District Judge Mark Walker and names DeSantis, Moody, and three sheriffs as defendants.
The law, one of the most controversial issues of this year’s legislative session, also has drawn a challenge in federal court in Orlando. That lawsuit also is pending.

text: 84 страниц. 2012 год. LAP Lambert Academic Publishing Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is a common and popular vegetable crop grown in subtropics and tropics regions. It is called brinjal in India, and in Europe aubergine. Eggplant is a perennial crop grown commercially as an annual crop. Eggplant, or brinjal, is a member of the family Solanaceae and genus solanum. The aim of this investigation is to improve the productivity and quality of three local landraces of eggplant by increasing its homogeneity through selfing and selecting the best individual genotypes for two successive generations to produce pure lines. Heritability, response to selection, correlation coefficients among studied characters and path-way analysis between yield and several quantitative characters were considered in this investigation.

The 5-times BBC Radio 2 Folk Award-winning outfit that brought passion, power and not a little poetry to folk and roots music, enter their fifth decade as vital and creative as ever, with some of the finest songs in the modern folk canon to their name: Put Out The Lights; When I’m Up (I Can’t Get Down); Blood Wedding; Everywhere I Go; The Oxford Girl; Granite Years; Native Son; A River Runs…..these and many others from their vast back catalogue will feature as they embark on another year of international touring and festivals.
Theirs has been a unique and fiercely independent career. Oysterband still play with that spirit of the punk ceilidh band that roared through people’s lives all those years ago. But the growing depth and sensitivity of their songwriting, coupled with the strength of John Jones’ voice and their remarkable musicianship, have lifted their music into a richer, more acoustic era.
Their occasional collaboration with folk diva June Tabor has produced two cult-classic award-winning albums, Freedom & Rain and Ragged Kingdom. The latter and their hugely influential album Holy Bandits were voted nos. 4 and 5 among the Ten Best Albums of the last 30 years by the public in a poll by fRoots Magazine in 2016.

"Prayer is the energy feedback God gets from us, His creation. Prayer completes the circuit of God's energy and helps to keep it flowing." Rabbi Zalman Schacter-Shalomi
"We are all roommates, cohabitating in a universe of unbroken wholeness."
"From the individual to the universal, all that we see is the play and display of Creative Intelligence."
"We yearn for the Divine because we ARE divine. It is our essential nature, the part of our identity that is created 'in the image and likeness of God' – and we are drawn to realize it the way rivers are obliged to run toward the sea and plants bend toward the sun."
"All of life's events can be made sacred, whether it's visiting friends, cooking a meal, bathing your child or paying your bills."
"It may seem at times that the universe is not only unfriendly but cruel. However, if the mystics and masters who have penetrated the depths of reality are to be believed – and if the ordinary individuals who have tasted union with God can be considered reliable – then we have to conclude that the universe is not only friendly but radiant with love and peace, even as the surface whirls in apparent chaos and destruction."
"The more you appreciate the world, the more you love it; the more you love the world, the more you appreciate it. This loving appreciation is no mere emotion. It is an immense, dynamic, coherent state of consciousness in which everything is embraced as part of one adorable whole."
"The tools of illumination are the will to know, the will to love and the will to serve." Wu Li
"God's love is the cosmic glue that binds us, one to the other and all to the One. It is here, now. It is there, then. It is. Love emanates from existence itself, like heat emanates from fire."
"God is transcendent and also immanent, formless and form, beyond time and space and within time and space, perfect unity and infinite diversity, one and many, motionless and perpetual motion."
"All the great teachers have said: As you make your way through the mists of uncertainty, trust that the combined wisdom of your heart and mind will lead you to the truth."
"I am He whom I love and He whom I love is I." Al-Hallaj
"God can be seen as infinite generosity, ever and always giving him- or herself away like the sun gives away light – or, to use biblical imagery, like a burning bush that is not consumed by its flame. As manifestations of the sacred, created so to speak in the image and likeness of God, our very nature is generosity. The more access we have to the inexhaustible source of love and goodness at the center of our being, the easier and more natural it is to give some of it away."
"God's will may not come to you in verbal or visual messages, or as anything you can articulate. It might just come as a deeply felt sense of where to go, what to do and how to act in the world from moment to moment. Clues might arrive in dreams, reveries or flashes of intuition, or in synchronistic meetings and moments, like a seemingly chance encounter with another person or a passage in a book you open in a random instance."
"At its core, the Quintessential Self is radiant light, the essence of essence, the holiest of holies, the part of you that touches God."
"The memory of oceanic Oneness is part of our soul's code. It is buried deep in our awareness; our very brains are programmed to reclaim it."
"Deep down the universe is benign."
"What we know as the Golden Rule has been stated and restated through the ages by every religion and every ethical philosophy. In ancient Jerusalem, Rabbi Hillel told a young seeker, 'What is hateful to you, do not do to others. That is the whole of the Torah. The rest is commentary.' In China, Confucius echoed Hillel: 'What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.' Islam puts it this way: 'No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself.' In Leviticus it reads as a commandment, 'Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself,' words repeated by Jesus when the Pharisees challenged him, and later reframed in the Sermon on the Mount as, 'Always treat others as you would like them to treat you.' Perhaps Jesus had heard that Aristotle had said, three hundred years earlier, 'We should behave to our friends as we would wish our friends to behave to us."
"Now is the 'some day' of our myths, a time to realize humanity's ancient dream of Heaven's peace on Earth. One by one we awaken ourselves; all in one we awaken the planet. We human beings, fashioned out of stardust millions of light-years ago, are capable of remembering and re-experiencing our original home in the peace of God. With that awareness, we can cocreate with God a world that is fully worthy of our stature as spiritual beings in human form – a civilization that delivers divine peace to every soul, turning Homo sapiens into Homo universalis, the human race into human Grace."
"We are all the children of one God."
"Think of the enlightened ones as having earned the equivalent of an advanced degree. Their descriptions of communion with the Infinite are so remarkably similar, despite their differences in language, culture and religious context, that they can be considered as reliable as repeated observations in science."
"How about practicing by seeing the spark of the Divine in the next person you encounter, as in the traditional Hindu greeting, 'Namaste'? From there it can spread, one step at a time."
"In the view of every wisdom tradition, the essence of the universe is love and light and goodness. Our grand purpose is to awaken to our essential nature, which is the very same love and light and goodness."
"The love of God is eternally present, like gravity or electro-magnetism. We don't have to earn it, we have to awaken to it."
"What Ralph Waldo Emerson stated in the nineteenth century – 'I know with certainty that who I am does not end at the top of my head' – was echoed in the twentieth century by neuroscientists like Wilder Penfield and Karl Pribram. To them and others, consciousness is nonlocal, not confined to specific points in time and space but inextricably woven into the cosmic fabric."

The banks that don’t lend
SEYHAN PENCAPLIGIL runs a Turkish-owned bank in Tirana, Albania. Jack Stack runs an Austrian-owned bank in Prague. Both have a similar headache, which is that the banks can do only half their job. They have plenty of deposits, but finding somewhere useful to lend the money is well-nigh impossible. They just keep the money in local treasury bills. The result is that, after ten years of “transition” from communism, the banking systems in these two central European countries are still ineffective economic actors. Why?
The Albanian case is simple. The legal infrastructure is so weak that Mr Pencapligil is afraid to make any loans. He mentions one Albanian bank that dared to: it made more than 2,000 small credits and now has 70 outstanding claims in the courts. So far the bank, Fefad Bank, has won only a single case, but the collateral proved impossible to sell.
Mr Pencapligil's bank, the National Commercial Bank, is majority-owned by Kentbank of Istanbul, which took control last year, with two multilateral agencies, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the International Finance Corporation (IFC), coming in as minority shareholders. The EBRD and the IFC are poised to invest in another institution, the Savings Bank of Albania, when it is privatised this summer. But the Savings Bank will have the same problem as Mr Pencapligil, times ten. It accounts for the great bulk of the Albanian banking system: 83% of the country's deposits, but no loans. Its bad industrial loans, that is, all of its loan book, have been hived off into a resolution trust. Its deposits are invested in treasury bills, of which it owns 85% of the issues outstanding.
Where to go from here? The consultants working to restructure the Savings Bank are trying to reduce its dominance. State pension payments, which it once handled, have been given to the post office, Albapost. Yet the bank still has to find suitable borrowers if it is not, like National Commercial Bank, to be stuck with a 2% net return.
It appears that the Albanians have reinvented the “narrow bank”, which takes deposits and invests only in “risk-free” assets. But capital-hungry enterprises are robbed of a source of finance. What is the point in cleaning up a bank at public expense if it fails to oil the wheels of commerce?
Mr Stack in Prague is trying to answer that question. He is an American banker hired by Erste Bank of Austria to run the Czech savings bank, Ceska Sporitelna, which it bought last year—with the EBRD once again as a minority shareholder. Ceska Sporitelna, like its Albanian sister and indeed like most former communist banks, was a dustbin for bad industrial credits. Erste Bank was allowed to keep the loans it liked and to reclassify the rest, to be dealt with by the government's bad-loan bank, Konsolidacni Banka. That leaves Mr Stack with nice, clean assets, mostly in Czech treasury bills—and a lending problem. The few good Czech companies can demand such cheap borrowing that it is hardly worth lending to them. On the retail and small-business side, Mr Stack's loan officers are so risk-averse that they hardly dare to make a credit decision.
The Czech and Albanian financial sectors, not obvious bedfellows, have spent a decade trying to get their act together. In Albania there was political upheaval and near-civil war, coupled with two financial scandals. The Czech Republic suffered the turmoil of separation from Slovakia and a shock privatisation of everything but the banks (at least, until 1998). But there was little restructuring. The government is now paying the cost—this year an estimated 9% of GDP—for the soft lending and for the failure to close companies. The bill includes the cost last year of guaranteeing all the bad loans of one insolvent bank before it was sold to a rival, and of dressing up Komercni Banka before its privatisation, scheduled for some time this year. The bad loans were replaced on the banks' balance sheet by, you guessed it, treasury bills.
How much should the EBRD, the self-appointed midwife of transition, be held responsible, at least in part, for these wasted years? What could it have done differently? Part of the answer comes from Mr Stack, who values the EBRD less as a shareholder and more as the provider of two free experts on micro-lending. “Those two people in Prague are irreplaceable,” he says.
Interestingly, the EBRD, faced with a new challenge in a Yugoslavia now free of sanctions, has launched first into loans for small and medium-sized enterprises and short-term facilities, just to get companies trading. The big-picture stuff that it peddled during its first decade has been put on hold for now, and perhaps forever.

Muscle atrophy is a frequently observed complication, characterized by the loss of muscle mass and strength, which diminishes the quality of life and survival. No effective therapy except exercise is currently available. In our previous study, repressing miR-29b has been shown to reduce muscle atrophy. In our current study, we have constructed artificially engineered extracellular vesicles for the delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 to target miR-29b (EVs-Cas9-29b). EVs-Cas9-29b has shown a favorable functional effect with respect to miR-29b repression in a specific and rapid manner by gene editing. In in vitro conditions, EVs-Cas9-29b could protect against muscle atrophy induced by dexamethasone (Dex), angiotensin II (AngII), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). And EVs-Cas9-29b introduced in vivo preserved muscle function in the well-established immobilization and denervation-induced muscle atrophy mice model. Our work demonstrates an engineered extracellular vesicles delivery of the miR-29b editing system, which could be potentially used for muscle atrophy therapy.

Haven has too much for PV
Bob Ford/TIMES NEWS Devin Dilliard (30) of Panther Valley handles a kickoff return against Schuylkill Haven. Behind him is teammate Nick McArdle.
David couldn't slay Goliath last night in Panther Valley stadium. He barely bruised him.
Schuylkill Haven was bigger, stronger, and more experienced than the Panthers and the end result was a 40-7 romp.
Playing with probably the youngest team in the region, the Panthers couldn't stop a balanced ground war waged by Haven. The Hurricanes scored three of the first four times they had the ball in the first half.
"It just comes down to them being bigger and stronger," said the head coach of the Panthers Frank Damian, admitting, "We couldn't stop them."
Opposing coach Mike Farr merely remarked, "I thought all our kids played well."
Farr said his players became undisciplined in the second half, getting preventable penalties. But the flags didn't hurt the team at all. It might have stopped one scoring drive, but by then the damage to PV was already done.
Damian tried a trick play at the start of the game and it almost worked. He called for an on-side kick on the opening kickoff. A PV player had a chance to grab the ball, but just missed it. It rolled out of bounds, giving Haven the ball in good field position on their own 37.
Schuylkill went right to work, using brute strength to eventually move the ball to the Panther six. Matt Naftzinger completed this drive on his first run of the night, scampering around the left side and into the end zone for six points with 6:54 showing on the clock. Ian Hower kicked the extra point.
PV couldn't get any offense going in the first quarter, accumulating only six offensive yards.
The Hurricanes hit the board again with just three seconds in the quarter when Tyler Dissinger rumbled around the right side from the 17.
In the second quarter, PV had its most impressive drive of the night, moving the ball 69 yards on 12 plays with junior quarterback Mike Weaver handling most of the offense. This was promising to PV considering Weaver started the season as as a wide receiver but was switched when quarterback Lukas Damian got injured earlier this season.
On the drive, Weaver carried seven times for 56 yards, including a 14 yard scoring sprint around the right side and into the corner of the end zone. He kicked the extra point, too.
"Mikey has been doing a good job for us at quarterback," said Damian. "He had to make changes and he adapted very well."
At the start of the second half, with the Panther down 20-7, it looked like PV was going to keep pace, driving from their own 30 to the Haven 28. A pair of incomplete passes turned the ball over to the Hurricanes on downs, though, and the home squad never came close to scoring again.
Damian said his team is young and still learning. "It's something we can fix in time," he said, adding that in the off-season he will have his player in the gym.


By Maria Seeley, GFP Oxford Summer Field Researcher
In August 2014, Generations For Peace (GFP) was proud to celebrate the conclusion of the first year of GFP’s Violence in Schools programme in East Amman, which used Sport For Peace to deal with issues of bullying, disruptive behaviour and violent conflict. The final ceremony, held on 22 August, included Delegates and Pioneers, HQ staff, and a group of distinguished guests (most notably His Royal Highness Prince Feisal Al-Hussein). It was a high-energy day of music, theatre performances and speeches that showcased just how successful the Violence in Schools programme was. The participants’ pride and excitement in having reached this point was clear, and the Delegates and GFP staff all looked forward to continuing the process they had begun with further school-based programming in the coming year. Questions remained, however, after the stage was cleared and the buses had departed: whom was the GFP message reaching? Where did the Target Group take their new understanding of conflict and violence after they left the GFP sessions? Did they leave this awareness and knowledge behind when the sport and art sessions were over, or did they bring it home, share it with others, and slowly begin to create change themselves?
As one of the Oxford University Summer Field Researchers, I spent the two months trying to answer these questions. I wanted to know how well GFP’s content – a message of alternatives to violence, communicated through sport in the case of Violence in School programming – was cascading beyond the school walls to the Beneficiary Community. The ‘Beneficiary Community’ refers to the people in the community to which the Target Group (the selected pool of programme participants) belongs, such as parents, siblings, neighbours, extended family members, or local social figures. I wanted to know whether conversations on the subject of violence were happening between members of the Target Group and members of this wider Beneficiary Community, and if those conversations happened, what effect they had. To find out the answer, I conducted focus groups and interviews, took surveys, and observed programming visited and spoke with parents, school principals, teachers, social workers, and, of course, the students themselves.
From the hours of interview recordings and piles of surveys, some critical themes emerged: first, that conversations about GFP’s message and activities were definitely happening, and second, that students’ gender made a big difference to how they cascaded GFP’s message. Boys and girls appeared to discuss GFP programmes and content with those who were neither parents nor programme participants, but the range of community members with whom the boys spoke appeared to be limited mostly to their (unrelated) friends, while girls spoke about GFP with friends, neighbours, and their extended family. Female teachers/Delegates particularly emphasised the improvement in the quality of general communication between themselves, their female students and their students’ mothers. The Delegates stated that the girls were more willing to come to them for help and advice on their personal problems. This strong link did not appear to exist between the boys and the male teachers/Delegates. As for parents, parents’ of female participants seemed to support the use of violence as a disciplinary necessity only, while parents’ of male participants were comfortable with a wider range of uses of violence.
These results showed us how critical it is to include girls and women in GFP programming and to ensure that mothers are engaged and involved, not only as mothers of the Target Group students themselves but also as an important link between the programmes and the wider Beneficiary Community (including the students’ fathers and siblings). As a mother in one focus group emphasised, ‘we know our children, and we know the community.’ It is my hope that by building on the lessons learnt within this research (which is now available here) and more fully engaging such female community experts in the future, we can create a programme that will better meet the needs of an even wider audience.
Now with the support of USAID, GFP is able to continue the Violence in Schools programming through to 2016, providing ongoing support to the four schools previously included in the pilot programme and expanding programming to four more schools in Irbid and Amman directorates. The USAID-supported programme focuses on improving relationships between Syrian refugee and Jordanian students in the eight schools.
The full report on the research described here, including additional details and findings, is available here.

Brain degeneration is the total or partial deterioration of certain tissues and cells that make up the brain. These are called neurodegenerative diseases (central) as they affect the central nervous system. The affected areas deteriorate at different rates, until they cannot perform their function, which leads to various consequences for the patient: memory loss, more or less severe dementia, loss of ability to move... Many diseases cause brain degeneration, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease are the most well-known.

From start-ups to spin-offs, there are no lack of options for a company or venture capitalist to license or invest into. But how can you know that this is the correct investment? The correct option to choose? The one which will lead to financial success and a nice end-of-year bonus? This is where scientific due diligence comes in, the independent, realistic and critical review of a potential technology. From early development data through to clinical study results, patents to competitor analysis, the due diligence process is essential for any investment decision.
We have developed this handbook to guide investors and due diligence investigators through the minefield of scientific due diligence in the pharmaceutical world. It covers best-practice approaches, traps to avoid, and the most important areas to focus your limited time on.
Investing in pharma? Then this is the book for you. The first section covers the basics of due diligence: - Chapter 1 introduces due diligence investigations, including the attributes of good due diligence investigators, the basic rules to follow, and commonly-seen licensing approaches.
Next, the specific requirements for each area of expertise are covered in more depth: - Chapter 4 covers the investigation from the regulatory affairs perspective, including factors such as approval risk, regulatory planning, and useful special pathways. The chapter covers typical GMP documents and important GxP requirements which will need to be verified.
This includes manufacturing-site specific documents and the process development and validation requirements. This includes approaches for evaluating preclinical studies as well as more specific information for toxicology and pharmacology work.
This section covers both general trial requirements as well as those specific to individual clinical phases. This includes determining market position, analysing potential competitors, and determining reimbursement options.
Finally the five appendices provide reference information which will help when conducting a due diligence investigation, from example checklists to work from through to advice for when you are being audited.
