With the widespread legalization of medical marijuana, more people are discovering its benefits. One of its uses is in the treatment of anxiety and panic disorders as well as withdrawal symptoms from treating opiate use disorders such as heroin, Vicodin, or OxyContin. New research is being released all the time on CBD (cannabidiol) and it’s effects on a variety of illnesses.
Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S.
Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the United States age 18 and older, or 18.1% of the population every year, according to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA).
Anxiety disorders are highly treatable, yet only about one-third of those suffering receive treatment.
Generally speaking, anxiety occurs when a reaction is out of proportion with what might typically be expected in a situation. Everyone has feelings of anxiety at some point in their life – for example, you may feel worried and anxious about sitting an exam or having a medical test or job interview.
During a panic attack people experience sudden, intense apprehension or fear that often occurs without warning and for no readily apparent reason. Panic attacks are characterized by a combination of symptoms that can include trouble breathing; nausea; chest pain; heart palpitations; dizziness; weakness; numbness in hands or feet; feeling unreal or detached from oneself; fear of losing control or going crazy; fear of dying; and chills or hot flushes.
CBD is derived from hemp.
In this article, we will cover everything there is to know about CBD hemp oil.
CBD Hemp Oil: What is it?
Hemp oil comes from the seeds of the hemp plant which are high in cannabinoids, terpenes and amino acids. It’s a natural product that’s made specifically for nutritional purposes. You can buy hemp seeds at your local grocery store, but hemp oil must be purchased from an online store or a dispensary.
There are many brands of CBD hemp oil on the market today. Some contain only CBD and others contain other ingredients as well such as flavonoids and terpenes. These ingredients make up the whole plant and help you get more out of each dose.
How does CBD work?
CBD works by binding to receptors in your brain and body. There are two types of receptors that it binds to: CB1 receptors are found mainly in the brain, while CB2 receptors are found throughout your body. When you take CBD, it binds to these receptors and sends signals to your body that cause changes in mood, appetite, pain response and more.
Is it legal?
Yes! CBD is legal in all 50 states because it does not contain any THC (the chemical found in marijuana that gets you high).
Does CBD Work for Anxiety?
The short answer is yes, CBD provides a great advantage to the kidney and the rest of the body as it’s an effective healing agent from its antibacterial, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Please bear in mind that CBD is still not cleared by the FDA and the studies are still undergoing while the long-term effect of it’s use will still be a while yet. For now, it seems to benefit people with pain and mood issues but not knowing all the facts can pose a great risk for the unknown.
CBD oil has shown promise as a treatment for both depression and anxiety, leading many who live with these disorders to become interested in this natural approach.
In one Brazilian study, 57 men received either oral CBD or a placebo 90 minutes before they underwent a simulated public speaking test. The researchers found that a 300-mg dose of CBD was the most effective at significantly reducing anxiety during the test. The placebo, a 150-mg dose of CBD, and a 600-mg dose of CBD had little to no effect on anxiety.
How Does CBD Work to Treat Anxiety?
The breakdown of how CBD works is a bit more complicated than it may seem at first. The human body has a large number of one-way receptors called cannabinoid receptors. There are two types of cannabinoid receptors — CB1 and CB2.
CB1 receptors are found primarily in the brain (they’re what the THC attaches to to create a “high”) — but there are also cannabinoid receptors found throughout the body. When you take CBD, it interacts with your endocannabinoid system, which is responsible for maintaining balance in your body and regulating things like appetite, mood, pain, sensation, memory and immune system response. When the body is out of balance, CBD can help bring it back into balance.
CBD has been shown to help decrease anxiety caused by THC consumption by blocking an enzyme called FAAH (fatty acid amide hydrolase). By blocking this enzyme, CBD increases levels of anandamide (a natural cannabinoid) in your brain. Anandamide is known as the “bliss molecule” because it helps regulate many bodily functions, which includes helping to reduce anxiety and depression. Anandamide also helps stimulate feelings of pleasure and happiness by attaching itself to CBD.
Are There Side Effects of CBD Oil for Anxiety?
CBD oil can be used for the treatment of anxiety, but it is important to use pure CBD oil. Hemp oil has many health benefits, including reducing anxiety, and when you purchase pure CBD from the manufacturer, there are no side effects.
What Is CBD Oil?
CBD oil is a natural remedy that can benefit a person’s health in a variety of different ways. It does not contain THC, which is the compound that makes people feel “high”, and it can help with conditions like anxiety, arthritis pain, muscle pain, inflammation, seizures and more.
Does CBD Oil Have Any Side Effects?
There are several side effects of CBD oil that people can experience when they use this product, so it is important to know what they are before you start taking CBD. When you purchase pure CBD from the manufacturer at an affordable price, there are no side effects. People who have used this product have reported that they do not feel groggy or tired after using it. This means that you will not get drowsy during the day or after taking it before bed at night.

The people who Prosperous writer Adrian Millar says “sustain me” met in O’Brien’s sandwich bar on Saturday evening to celebrate the launch of his novel ‘The Quiet Life’.
With local photographer Mike O’Toole acting as MC, poet Anne Egan said she was delighted and honoured to be there to launch the book.
She gave a quick synopsis of Adrian’s “quite extraordinary” life, including that he started to teach himself Japanese at the age of 11. The two met in a creative writing group in Clane that she had set up some years ago.
“He was part of that group,” she explained, adding “He enriched it very very much.”
Speaking of his writing she noted that “the spirit of the human being shines throughout his writing”.
Mr. Millar paid tribute to Ms. Egan noting that “she’s very real”.
“I’m very honoured to have her here today and not Seamus Heaney,” he joked.
But then he turned his attention to an area of great wealth in his life. Going around the room, he spoke of the role the people had played in his life. “Everyone here has sustained me,” he said.
He also spoke of his love for sitting in O’Brien’s Sandwich Bar in Clane.
“A friend of my daughter’s said to her the other day, ‘Does your Daddy live in there?’”
“Here I feel acknowledged,” the Belfast native explained.
He then described his journey in publishing and how initial interest with many publishers had led to disappointment.
“They tell me you have to have a fan base. Well, you are my fan base,”
Speaking of his wife and three daughters he noted that it was said that every great man had a great woman behind them.
In his case, he acknowledged that he had “four great women” behind him.
‘The Quiet Life’ has been described as ‘an exceptionally heartfelt and intelligent examination of punishment, guilt and atonement with considerable emotional impact’.
It tells the story of a brother and sister who sleep-walk their way through life until they are forced to be true to themselves after a family member dies in a shooting at the height of the Northern Ireland conflict. The book is on sale in Barker and Jones for n10.

Quote from Michael Myers Drawing :
Mirror symmetry drawing is a huge drawing game and enjoyable practice. You’ll have distorted drawing of your object, and you’ll be able to go in and add a scene around it, or simply trace a lot of objects on the exact page. It is possible to also see Cool Drawings. Grid drawing is this kind of efficacious means to facilitate kids really looking at what they’re drawing. It is one of the most important activities kids can do. A drawing can be created on any surface, but the caliber of that surface may be equally as vital as the medium that it’s used upon it. The drawing or doodle of a youngster isn’t necessarily an effort to reflect reality, but instead an endeavor to communicate their comprehension of it.
The next step is far easier. Drawing this way will also enable you to receive your line recorded faster. There are items that you want to understand about before you get going forward. Strong letter design with a metallic sheen to genuinely make his work stick out. Graffiti experience sometimes takes a great deal of perseverance, but it’s well worth it. Whether you research the deep history of how it all began, or you merely wish to acquire good at making use of a can of paint, you will see that there’s an excellent glory to this that it is possible to learn.
You see, feel and understand the entire package of what you’re drawing. There are two major choices. There are an assortment of personalized alternatives readily available online and in stores. There are a lot of alternatives in an art store to tempt you to purchase. Use dreams to get extra insight in your day.
Providing opportunity for children to learn how to wait is crucial, but it needs to occur at a time as soon as the kid can actually succeed. Here is a superb chance for a discussion about financing.

As the old year comes to a close, a new year at the University of Louisiana at Monroe welcomes continued campus improvements and plans for the future.
When students return for the spring 2006 semester, they should be able to enjoy Bayou Walk, a picturesque and secure footpath situated between University House and the ULM Library.
Several projects are underway that should enhance the reliability and comfort of campus buildings. The heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) and electrical systems are currently being replaced at the Wigwam Dining Facility. After completion of the new Student Union Building, the Wigwam will become the Clarke M. Williams Student Success Center, designed to aid students in all aspects of their educational and professional journeys.
Reroofing of Hanna Hall has begun. Caldwell Hall’s HVAC system will be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected over the 2005-06 semester break, while Brown Theater will receive new air handling units. Improvements to the Brown Hall HVAC system will begin this summer.
Schulze Dining Hall’s HVAC system is also being replaced. Its exterior will be repainted during the 2005-06 semester break and will gain a color scheme to better complement the new housing facilities. A crosswalk is planned to link Schulze with the Bayou Suites Apartments (located on the former Olin Hall site), thus increasing pedestrians’ safety.
The Student Housing Project remains on schedule and under budget in its construction of seven new buildings, consisting of three new apartment structures, three new residential dorm style buildings and the new Student Health and Counseling Center, which was opened in the fall 2005 semester. The new apartments have already been completed and also became occupied by ULM students during this same semester. Bayou Suites Apartments, the first of the suite style dormitories, should receive the same treatment during the spring 2006 semester.
The other two new suite buildings are under construction. One will include retail spaces on the first floor that will offer residents convenient access to popular businesses. Part of the housing project includes demolishing Breard, Harris, Cosper and Lemert Halls as well as the old infirmary building after the spring 2006 semester. The space these structures currently occupy will become a scenic park with an amphitheater on the bayou.
Plans are to engage a firm to design and construct an intermodal transit facility and parking lot improvements along DeSiard Street. The intermodal transit facility will consist of a transit office, bus loading area, public restrooms, and a large parking garage. The DeSiard Street parking lots will be reconstructed and reconfigured for easier use and better aesthetics. A brick and wrought iron fence will border the campus along the entire stretch of DeSiard St. from Stadium Dr. to University Ave. Monument markers featuring ULM signs will grace the campus entrances at both of these streets. The project will begin during the spring 2006 semester.
The state is in the process of finalizing the purchase of the old State Farm Building located on Bienville Drive for the ULM College of Pharmacy. Planned renovations currently call for the most efficient adaptation of the space. Tentative plans are to move most pharmacy classes into the Bienville Building for the fall 2006 semester, depending on funding and regulatory issues pertaining to this project.
The Student Union Renovation Project is currently underway and will culminate with both the completion of the new Student Union Building as well as the finished renovation of the old one. The first floor of the newer building will be converted to a state-of-the-art dining facility featuring Subway, Chick-Fil-A, Freshen’s Yogurt and Mexican food, among other quality choices for students. Further planned features include a games area, campus post office and coffee shop. The second floor will showcase a ballroom intended for multiple purposes.
The old Student Union Building will house offices for student organizations on the first floor and offices intended for student affairs employees on the second one. Planned occupation for both new buildings is during the late fall 2006 semester.

Morning Live: Expert shares tips on car insurance
Savvy Britons whose finances have been hit by the pandemic are making thousands of pounds a year by hiring out their personal vehicles for other drivers. Rather than leaving their cars to gather dust in their garages, some drivers are signing up to a car sharing platform to make some extra cash.
Apps like this have been touted as being an “Airbnb for cars”.
Drivers with keyless cars wouldn’t even need to meet the person who is taking the car for a spin.
There are a number of car sharing schemes that are available for drivers around the country, which allow drivers to hire someone else’s car.
Drivers can take their pick from a variety of cars from electric, to family SUVs, even some supercars are available for people to hire.
Car insurance premiums could increase with this new money making scheme.
According to recent statistics from Karshare, more than half a million consumers requested to freeze their car finance payments during the pandemic.
With 5,000 renters signed up to the Karshare platform and 150 people listing their vehicles, there’s a definite demand for more car owners to join the car sharing community.
The car sharing app also found that 40 percent of car owners in Birmingham said lockdown has made them assess whether they need a car every day.
Just under four in 10 said they planned on using their car a lot less over the next year.

Three new driving laws set to launch from September [ANALYSIS]
Despite this, car insurance experts are warning drivers that they may not be covered if they were to rent their car out.
A spokesperson for Admiral Insurance said their insurance policy doesn’t cover someone to rent their car out.
Whilst there are no rules to say that someone can’t rent their car out, their use wouldn’t be covered by their Admiral policy.
A spokesperson for Admiral said: “So, in a nutshell, it’s fine for a customer with us to rent their vehicle out, but we wouldn’t offer any cover under our policy.
“The driver renting the car couldn’t be added to the policy so there would have to be some other alternative cover in place covering the rental period, or they would be breaking the law by driving without insurance.
“There are companies that offer temporary cover and we have a sister brand in Admiral called Veygo which offers just this.
“If we had to contribute to a claim (e.g., Article 75 liability) then the claim would be noted on the policy, and it would be rated on and could impact on their future premiums.
“If the claim is solely dealt with by the alternative insurance policy covering the rental vehicle, then we wouldn’t expect a customer to disclose that on their policy.”
Admiral has a specific exclusion in their policy book which excludes that use.
It states: “We will not pay for any loss, damage or liability directly or indirectly caused or contributed to by: Your vehicle being rented out or used for a peer-to-peer hire scheme.”
Whilst car sharing apps may be the next evolution of the motoring industry, there are still hurdles that have to be cleared before it is a streamlined system.
Many insurance companies may also look ahead to include something like this in their models.

Amal Unbound, by Aisha Saeed, (May 2018, Nancy Paulsen Books/Penguin Kids), $17.99, ISBN: 978-0-399-54468-2
Recommended for readers 10-14
Twelve-year-old Amal is a girl living in a Punjabi village in Pakistan. When she has a rough interaction with the village’s wealthy and cruel landowner, Jawad Sahib, he demands payment for her “insult” by taking her on as an unpaid servant to work off her family’s debt. Charged for room and board, yet receiving no pay for her labor, it becomes clear all too quickly that Amal may be doomed to spend the rest of her life there. Jawad antagonizes her, and other servants are initially cruel to her, but she finds some solace as servant to Sahib’s mother, who is kinder. Amal fears her dreams of education and teaching are gone for good until a Sahib family venture opens the opportunity for Amal to attend school – and possibly, give her the chance to regain her freedom.
Inspired by Malala Yousafszai and young women like her, Amal Unbound is a compulsively readable upper middle-grade story about indentured servitude, gender inequality, and the right to education. Amal is a bookish young woman forced to drop out of school when her sister is born. She’s angry at the reaction that the birth of a girl, rather than a boy, brings not only to her family, but her neighbors. Furious that women are valued less than men, and angry that she must put her own dreams on hold, she lashes out at the local landowner, who takes advantage of her family’s debt to get even with her. She refuses to feel powerless, which further aggravates Jawad Sahib; his mother Nasreen Baji intervenes on Amal’s behalf, but she’s still part of a corrupt system that lets her family keep indentured servants – essentially, slaves – as labor. Amal discovers that Nasreen Baji is in a gilded cage of her own, but does that excuse her own injustices? It creates a good discussion point; one of many readers will discover in the pages of Amal Unbound. Publisher Penguin has you covered with a free, downloadable discussion guide.
Aisha Saeed creates complex characters and a strong story that you won’t want to put down until you’ve turned the last page. I hope I get summer reading lists with Amal Unbound on them; I can’t wait to booktalk this one to my library kids.
Book Riot has a good interview with Aisha Saeed and Shehzil Malik, designer of that beautiful cover, that you should check out and add to your booktalk info. Amal Unbound has starred reviews from Publisher’s Weekly, School Library Journal, and Kirkus, and is on my Newbery shortlist.

My mother Lynn and I jumped on the mask-making bandwagon as soon as it started rolling! Once word got out that we were making them, the requests started coming in.
Between my mother and I, we donated 25 masks to the Milwaukee County Homeless Outreach Team. This team provides person-centered, housing-focused, street outreach services to individuals experiencing homelessness throughout the community. The primary focus of their services is to move individuals quickly off of the street into permanent housing. The team operates within the Housing First philosophy, which puts accessing housing as the first step to ending someone’s cycle of homelessness. Once housing is secured, wraparound services are put in place to address the layers of needs for each individual. The team holds firm to the belief that housing is a human right, and every individual in our community deserves a place to call home.
Recently, COVID-19 has forced the team to pivot to an emergency response, and ramp up their efforts to get individuals indoors immediately. Being able to access and use PPE, including masks, allows the clients and the team to stay as safe as possible during this crisis. It is a critical, necessary component, to continuing the mission.
My mom and I continue to make masks and provide them to whoever asks; friends, family, organizations like the one mentioned in this story, and healthcare organizations. The task keeps our minds and hands busy!

Snow Tonight Means Messy A.M. Roads
Switch to sleet and rain on Wednesday keeps roads and other things sloppy
LANSING, Mich. (WILX) - Snow has begun to fall on Tuesday night across Mid-Michigan, the first of several precipitation types we’ll see over the next 12-15 hours.
The combination of 1-2″ of snow and sleet overnight, changeover to rain by late Wednesday morning and the warming of temperatures to around 40 degrees will make for a slushy, sloppy mess on the roads--especially for the Wednesday morning commute.
Winter Weather Advisories are in effect for our entire viewing area until 1:00P.M. Wednesday, at which point only light rain will linger around the area.
In the meantime, the snow continues to fall tonight during one of the drier snow starts to the season in recent memory. To this point in the year the average is 12.0″ of seasonal snowfall; Lansing has only recorded 1.7″ thus far.
It’s likely that we double our snow total for the winter by tomorrow morning, or at least come close. After the rain moves out the quiet weather returns for the final 30ish hours of the year 2020.
Another system appears to be possible for Friday on New Year’s Day. This disturbance looks to be another mix of rain and snow, though there is also a possible threat for freezing rain. We’ll keep an eye on it.
For the weekend and beyond, an above average temperature trend seems likely. Highs in the middle to upper 30s occur into early next week, with the rest of the week featuring several opportunities to end up in the 40s.

CJ BIO and NatureWorks to commercialize new biopolymer solutions
Image source: AIP.
CJ BIO and NatureWorks have signed a letter of intent to collaborate on advanced products based on NatureWorks’ Ingeo PLA and CJ BIO’s PHACT PHA technologies to meet the growing demand for sustainable materials in a wide range of markets.
The goal of the agreement is to develop high-performance biopolymers that will replace fossil fuel-based plastics in applications ranging from compostable food packaging and catering items, to personal care and beyond.
NatureWorks is a pioneer in developing bio-based materials that reduce carbon impact and enable new end-of-use options with its Ingeo technology. As a company, it has developed many of the leading high-volume applications for PLA. In recent years, PLA has experienced significant growth as a bio-based material in a wide range of end products.
Due to its unique functionality, it has been used to replace petrochemical plastics with 100% bio-based content and enables end-of-use recovery options including compostability and chemical or coated paper recycling.
Both companies realize the potential to further improve the performance and end-of-use solutions of biopolymers, and increase the level of adoption in many new applications. By combining their expertise and technology platforms, NatureWorks and CJ aim to deliver next-generation solutions.
Initial development and collaboration show very promising results when using CJ Bio’s unique amorphous PHA in combination with Ingeo biopolymer.
CJ BIO is a leading provider of fermentation-derived bioproducts for animal nutrition, human nutrition and biomaterials across its thirteen manufacturing sites worldwide. The company recently announced commercial scale production of PHA following the inauguration of a new production facility in Pasuruan, Indonesia.
CJ BIO is today the only company in the world to produce amorphous PHA (aPHA), including the first product under its new brand PHACT, named PHACT A1000P. Amorphous PHA is a softer, more rubbery version of PHA that offers fundamentally different performance characteristics than crystalline or semi-crystalline forms of PHA. It is certified biodegradable under industrial compost, soil (ambient) and marine environment.
Modifying PLA with amorphous PHA leads to improvements in mechanical properties, such as toughness and ductility, while maintaining clarity. This also adjusts the biodegradability of the PLA and can potentially lead to a home compostable product.
“Plastics are an essential material that improves people’s lives, but their fossil supply and after-use impact present a major climate challenge that needs to be addressed,” said Seung Jin Lee, Head of CJ BIO, Biomaterials Business.
“NatureWorks and its Ingeo technology have already helped by bringing new hardware features and after-use options to market. They have extensive product and application development capability, supporting, for example, flexible and rigid packaging which we believe can benefit from our PHACT amorphous PHA technology. I’m excited to have the opportunity to create new solutions in tandem with NatureWorks that will have a real impact on the plastics challenge today, and help improve the environment for future generations.
According to NatureWorks CEO Rich Altice, the demand for sustainable products continues to grow worldwide.
“For more than 30 years, NatureWorks has been part of the circular economy, developing advanced biomaterials that contribute to a more sustainable future,” Altice said. “As we look to the future, we want to amplify the impact of our Ingeo technology with promising new bio-based solutions, and we believe that with its PHACT aPHA technology, CJ BIO is an ideal partner to achieve our goal.”
NatureWorks and CJ BIO will gather feedback from existing and potential customers across a range of applications and markets, including packaging, foodservice items and organics recycling management, to understand the growing need for functional products that also align with sustainability goals. These collaborations will inform the companies’ product and technology development roadmap.
The two companies say the letter of intent is the start of what should be a long-term relationship between NatureWorks and CJ BIO, and aim to sign a primary collaboration agreement in the near future.

St. Mary’s Episcopal Church (c. 1880)
The first Episcopalian minister came to Evergreen in December 1870. This Episcopalian church was built circa 1880. Prior to this, the Episcopalian congregation held their services at the Union Church which was a community church that all denominations shared. St. Mary’s is Evergreen’s oldest church. It is one of only a few buildings that survived the 1881 cyclone that struck downtown Evergreen, AL. The style of this church is Gothic Revival. It originally had two towers. By 1897, one tower had been removed. St. Mary’s Episcopal Church is included on the New Evergreen Commercial Historic District that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
St. Mary’s is located on Front Street just northeast of downtown Evergreen, AL (GPS coordinates N31.436611,W86.951250).

In order to make the video, each singer recorded their parts, which were the mixed and edited together to create the performance.


So. Got a bunch done. Shortblock is as put together as it can be until I get the head and transmission on it. I got an upgraded oil pump, but it turned out to be the wrong one, so yeah. Ate that one.
I got a line on an Si cluster, so I picked that up.
I picked up a bunch of transmission parts, including a full m-factory 3.086 first, and their close ratio 3&5. It puts 5th at 1.0 ratio, so I may elect to not use that and keep an overdrive gear for highway cruising.
I got a full synchrotech rebuilt s40, ex, b000 transmission, a trans with a blown 2nd, a spare gear set, a spare set of synchros, freshly machined head with new valves, guides, springs, and valve seats, block with a crank with a bad #4 rod journal, good crank, two good girdles, 3 speed factory no-notch rods, 3 ycp Vitara pistons, a few final drives, a box of Honda gaskets, distributor parts, axles, pulleys, etc, etc.
I cracked open the already opened transmission just to see what's inside, and here it is.
Now I just have to learn how to assemble/rebuild Honda transmissions now... Lol
Yeah, not concerned about it, I printed out the manual pages, I'll go through those and figure out what's up.
I just threw down some serious coin and got an m-factory LSD, and various other speedfactory d-series transmission detents and springs, so hopefully this transmission will be nice when I'm done with it.
Remember how I only had 3300 into this car? Looking more like 5k now.
So, got some stuff done. Installed the shift forks, fixed the synchros on 2nd gear with a small file, because it looked like someone had been a little hard on the gearbox. Rest assured, there will be no Granny Shifting on this gearbox and instead Double Clutching like you should.
mFactory helical LSD has the bearings on, I'm going to have to figure out something on the ring gear... I can't get it off even with my 450ft/lb 1/2 impact gun. I may just buy new bolts and use one of the 4.25 spares I have, lol.
And, got it all buttoned up, checked clearance, and it's all good. Now I just have to buy another tube of RTV that isn't all dried up, lol.
So, to recap:
mFactory Helical LSD
mFactory 3.083 First
Honda 1.909 Second
mFactory 1.565 Third
Honda 1.250 factory 3rd in Fourth (moved from third position)
mFactory 1.000 Fifth
Speedfactory shift spring
Speedfactory detent springs
I may, in the future, swap the factory 4th for the mFactory 5th gear. But we'll have to see how it drives. I don't recall any issues cruising in fourth, and this now has basically 4th as the top gear, but who knows if noise will become an issue with an additional resonator in the exhaust.
It's gonna be slower than it was before on the strip, mainly because I'm effectively adding two gears between 2 and 3, but it should be a blast to drive. No more 160mph+ runs on the highway, but that'll keep me from dying on the street/highway I suppose. Also means traction is probably going to be an issue for a while. I may wind up swapping out all of these short-ratio gears back to factory length, and leave the long first, but we'll have to see how motivated I am to pull the transmission again once everything is all back together.
I'm getting really excited to drive it when it gets warm.
It's going to be interesting when I take it to a Honda dealership to get the airbag replaced under the recall... I think I might bring a friend to witness.

While the economic impact of legalizing medicinal marijuana might be uncertain, the ramifications on the workplace and company policies will be pretty clear, and they will mostly favor the worker who gets a prescription to use the drug, according to a Jacksonville labor lawyer.
Many companies have policies that call for drug testing of employees if they are in an accident while on duty. And many of those policies call for termination if they test positive for marijuana. Bob Riegel, labor and employment attorney at Fowler White Boggs law firm in Jacksonville, said those days are over for anyone who legally obtains marijuana if the measure passes.
"The difference if this passes will be that an employer who requires a drug test … and there's a positive test for marijuana, the employer is then going to have to ask whether the employee has a medical certification," Riegel said.
If a certification, prescription or health advisory is produced by the worker, employers won't be able to terminate that employee, Riegal said. But if there is no prescription or legal permission, employers still will be able to fire if their company policy calls for such action.
Before a potential incident calling for a drug test, Riegel said, there's no obligation by workers to inform their employers of their condition that requires the marijuana prescription, nor, under The Americans with Disabilities Act, "can the employer ask about it unless under certain circumstances."
"There's got to be either some kind of nexus to public safety or a threat to a third party," Riegel said. "Or there has to be some kind of observable problem with performance."
While there might be some negative perceptions about marijuana based on social or moral grounds, Riegel said if this ballot initiative passes, Florida employers are going to have to view use of the drug as if it is any other prescription medication.
"It's actually not any different than other types of prescription medications that may arise in the course of employment situations," Riegel said.

Anglo American Platinum (Amplats) said on Monday it fired about half of the underground workers at its Mototolo mine following an illegal strike.
Workers belonging to the General Industrial Workers Union of South Africa (GIWUSA) downed tools on May 12 following a dispute over the employees’ medical scheme, despite an interim court interdict against any strike action, Amplats said.
The precious metals producer said it dismissed 643 employees at Mototolo, which produced 57,700 ounces of platinum group metals in the first quarter of 2019, after its appeal to end the strike was ignored.
A union official at GIWUSA, which is the only recognised union at the mine, said they would approach the labour court over the dismissals.
Amplats said the sacked employees had until May 21 to appeal the decision.
The firm said the impact on production had so far been minimal.
“Anglo American Platinum is exploring options to ensure that Mototolo Mine recommences full production as soon as practically possible,” it said in a statement.
Amplats acquired Glencore’s 39% stake in the mechanised platinum mine on the eastern limb of South Africa’s platinum belt in 2018.

Happily ever after. The hard way.
David Fitz is a small time drug dealer and con artist who funds his habits and that of his girlfriend, Juno, through drug sales and petty crime. Both are eager to get clean and start a new life, far away from the dangers of the city.
They hatch a plan, with an ambitious police officer, to provide evidence against David’s boss. Together they will bring him to justice in return for witness protection. It sounds simple enough, but as soon as they kick their habits Juno gets cold feet. She decides that she no longer wants to rat on David’s boss, or to be a part of David’s life anymore, though she knows that staying together is the only way to stay alive and that the original plan will have to be carried out.
Things get even worse when the cop they are working with leaves them in the middle of nowhere, with no money, no real protection and no long-term plan.
When David’s boss is released on bail after just 24 hours they know he will soon be after them. And when he phones them at their new home, they find that there is yet another twist in their already complicated situation.
In their seemingly nice new neighbourhood, David and Juno befriend Cadence and Brent. The couple seem friendly enough, but why are they so keen to help when they themselves could face untold dangers?
With ever dwindling options, and David’s boss closing in on them, he and Juno are forced into trusting their new neighbours with their lives. Their strange alliance has to be better than the certain death they are facing if David’s boss finds them
Then again, it could be much, much worse.
Anyone picking up a novel by Michael Golvach should know they are in the hands of a confident and clever writer with a distinctive literary voice. From Missing Pieces to Bloody Gullets he’s demonstrated his unwillingness to compromise when it comes to originality and Fix is no different. It’s a bold move by any author to dabble in another genre but with its dark haunted undertones, this is one step change that works extraordinarily well. With its deliriously fast pace matched by the quality of Golvach’s writing, it proves a clever, intricate and intriguing novel that is a genuine joy to read,highly engaging and all but impossible to put down. As with his previous novels, there are detailed motives behind the conflict and competing agendas at work but the real stroke of genius in Fix is its flawed protagonist in David Fitz. On many levels, his character is a masterstroke which reflects the dark energy and gritty sense of realism that underpins the novel as a whole. It’s not a quick read, coming in at over 600 pages but with a diverse cast of characters, impressive dialogue, interplay and an ingenious multi-layered plot Fix is one read that’s over far too quick.

It’s not like lion versus zebra. More like squirrel versus squirrel.
It seems likely that everyone is wired to be either right or left of dead center. How far right or left depends on a lot of sensitivities, all of which seem to be sorely inflamed in America today. The middle of the road is an unpopular place to be, even though in a representative democracy that’s where sensible policy has to be made.
But what are the fundamental, underlying differences between liberals and conservatives? The manic fringes of the political parties are not definitive, and neither are the purely emotional ways that people align themselves with parties and movements. There might be some underlying psychological survival mechanisms at work here.
It’s tempting to think of a parallel with the animal world and the difference between, say, the lion and the zebra; the individual predator versus the herd animal whose chances are improved simply by being one of many from the predator to choose from. But the parallel isn’t right, because every person shares characteristics of both lion and zebra, predator and herd member. It would be more accurate to say we’re all like squirrels — convivial but territorial, sometimes endearing and harmless, often pushy, sometimes quite vicious and deadly, and more alike than unique.
Consider the difference between faith and reliance in one’s self versus faith and reliance in the group. Both instincts are normal, both are present to a greater or lesser degree in everyone, and of course there are balances and overlaps and reversals.
People who describe themselves as conservative often seem to feel that they’re hardier, more reliable, and more likely to be able to live and die, especially on their own terms, when free of rules that subjugate the complete freedom of the individual to the welfare of the group. They may well understand that a society that requires and promotes fairness and equality for all of its citizens and strives to provide the greatest good for the greatest number is also likely to provide the best context for individual survivability, and that a society in which every man is simply out for himself isn’t a society at all — just a very dangerous place to live.
But they don’t trust the democratic political process to promote fairness fairly. They view with distrust and bitterness any attempt by the governors of the group to take any of what they have earned or accrued and make it available to others, whether by direct handout or funding for government programs, especially if some or many of those others are not deserving. And they are distrustful of anyone but themselves to say who is or is not deserving.
They fear laws that would sap, to any degree, the stronger, more self-reliant, more resilient and productive members of society in order to bolster the weaker and less productive. They do not agree that weaker, less productive people should simply be given money and privileges they did not in some way earn. They believe that anyone, given equal rights, should be able to pull himself or herself up by the bootstraps with enough sheer effort.
As it manifests itself in today’s politics, this viewpoint is rife with irony and hypocrisy. Anti-federal, pro-states’ rights politicians scorn federal money while asking for it and spending every penny of it. Anti-federal retirees scorn entitlement programs and public funds while relying on Medicare. The rugged anti-big-government individualist believes strongly in the ultimate team — the military unit, in which both group survival and self-sacrifice for the group are paramount.
Very often this viewpoint has been shaped by a particular set of circumstances or a single incident that is interpreted as a full representation of the human condition. (There’s a saying: “A Republican is a Democrat who has been mugged.”)
These people are not the early colonist-patriots, the frontiersmen, the iconoclasts, the risk-takers. They are frightened — precisely because they regard themselves as isolated, beleaguered heroes in a deteriorating and dangerous world.
Meanwhile, on the left, people tend not to be as wary of society as a whole, including its poor, its immigrants, or its diversity, and think of themselves relatively less as individuals out for themselves and relatively more as parts of a societal machine that is not complete without the sum of its elements. They do not automatically doubt the ability of democratic government to improve the machine if its elements can be persuaded to act reasonably and in concert. They more closely relate their own chances for survival with the overall welfare of the group. When it comes to politics and lawmaking, they favor legislation that promotes balance throughout the group instead of rewards and punishments for individuals at the extremes. In practical terms this very often involves taxation of the richer elements of society and distribution to the poorer elements.
These people also tend to look with distrust at competition that allows the more successful elements to get too far out in front, or that is rough or unregulated enough to allow bullying or shame. However, this very often leads to a kind of societal leveling and top-down equalization (not the same as equality) in which an oppressive welter of laws and rules lower standards for everything from education to safe driving. Progressives defy common sense when they strive to protect one set of rights by curtailing or diminishing other rights. Their compassionate efforts can undermine the importance — both to the individual and the group — of hard work, learned skills, thrift and savings, self-reliance, and emotional resilience.
In promoting equality in both policy and perception they are sensitive to the slightest slight, and then seek safe spaces from which they can cast their own judgment bombs. They mistake boorishness and unintentional affront for evil; they condescend, and their self-righteousness is confirmed when they bring out the worst in people.
Self-righteousness and feelings of affront on both sides, particularly at the fringes, prevent people from doing the mundane and often frustrating work of finding common ground and hammering out policy together. It’s more entertaining and feels more vital simply to stay furious and unforgiving. But without a serious effort to find common ground the American experiment will be over, and the aftermath may well be more a matter of personal survival than any of us can quite imagine.

A successfully managed vaccine logistics programme will be essential to ensure UK vaccination targets are met.
As the UK continues its efforts to offer ongoing mass immunisation against COVID-19, vaccine logistics and the efficient planning of deliveries into vaccination sites will remain pivotal.
Logistics providers have, and will continue to play a huge role in supporting the vaccine supply chain – ensuring the UK is able to meet its roll-out targets through maintaining the carefully planned flow of vaccines to centres nationwide.
And whilst the focus on the distribution of the COVID vaccine is at the forefront, experts warn that we mustn’t let other vaccination programmes slip, in an article published on Vaccine rollout by the World Health Organisation stated:
“there remains a need to ensure routine vaccinations are not missed. Many children have not been vaccinated during the global pandemic, leaving them at risk of serious diseases like measles and polio”.
The Challenge of Vaccine Distribution and Cold Chain Management
Perhaps the biggest challenge of vaccination distribution falls within the vaccine logistics and cold chain management of the product during its storage and distribution, meaning logistics support from a cold chain specialist is a necessity.
The term ‘cold chain’ refers to the cold temperature conditions which must be maintained during transportation to the point of administration, according to the manufacturer’s recommendation – usually ranging from +2˚C to +8˚C. The cold chain requirements of the COVID vaccine have posed an enormous challenge, particularly for countries that do not have the cold chain infrastructure that the UK has in place:
In fact, the UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson previously warned of the ‘immense logistical challenges’ in distributing the vaccine due to the requirement for refrigerated lorries and freezer storage – a challenge on an enormous scale which has been met by specialist 3PL providers, credited with delivered an ‘unprecedented logistical effort’.
This level of specialist logistics management has been key to maintaining a well-managed operation in vaccine distribution UK wide to its 1,500 sites thus far. Ongoing is the challenge to continually improve scheduling of deliveries to vaccination centres and being able to maintain all patient appointments, as distribution targets continue to increase.
Vaccine Logistics Management
Whilst a well-oiled vaccine delivery programme is vital, the supply of medical equipment and key items to vaccination centres, is in equal need of specialist coordination to enable vaccinations to go ahead at all.
The Crown SDS fleet has been able to support with scheduled and ad hoc deliveries of medical equipment to pharmacies, medical centres and even gyms, that have been adapted to support the vaccination programme. Sharps bins, medical screens, orthopaedic beds, desks and chairs are all essential in the set-up of new vaccination centres, but other items including antiseptic wipes, swabs and tissues are key to ensuring centres can continue with vaccinations to schedule.
During the course of one month alone, Crown SDS covered half a million miles in deliveries of vaccine items, with scheduled drops at nationwide locations and a 100% record of deliveries on-time with its same-day service.
Vaccine Courier Service in the Final Mile
As a medical courier service, at Crown SDS we have an essential role to play in supporting the 3PL sector to meet the specific challenges of delivering medical equipment and supplies into vaccination sites.
Whilst larger vehicles can sustain deliveries to the UK’s 50 large-scale vaccination centres, which includes Bath Racecourse, a Cathedral and several stadiums, smaller pharmacies and medical centres pose a particular challenge for artic lorries.
Often located in pedestrianised areas and scattered across UK high streets, many vaccination centres are situated in locations hard to reach for large lorries. And there are also the additional challenges and protocols surrounding deliveries into vaccine centres located within prisons, MOD sites and nursing homes.
Our van network is vital in reaching these sites with key equipment, supporting logistics providers with making equipment deliveries to sites.
Able to use a van network to handle smaller consignments, we were able to support our 3PL customers with final mile deliveries into medical centres, pharmacies and other sites that posed a challenges for their larger vehicles. With optimised routing and real-time tracking, we delivered efficient scheduling required for such a large-scale operation, with a seamless service.
There’s also the aspect of rebalancing stocks of the vaccine in between vaccination centres, where one site requires additional stock that is located at another site. Crown SDS can offer efficient collection and delivery of consumable materials with specified time collection and rapid same-day delivery.
What's Next For Vaccine Logistics?
To date, over 90% of those eligible to receive a vaccine have received their first dose (UK government statistics). But it remains to be seen whether the booster (of which has been administered to over 35 million people across the UK), will be offered at regular intervals.
And whilst vaccinations are set to continue throughout the year and perhaps onwards, the eventual planned closure of vaccination sites is inevitable as the first stage of the programme comes to a close. This marks another surge in requirement for medical couriers with disassembly of sites at gyms and other makeshift centres, as equipment no longer required will need to be removed and re-located.
Crown SDS are able to support with many aspects of UK vaccine distribution and logistics management with its medical courier service – call our specialist team on 0330 333 4400 to discuss your requirements.

Draper continues to stick to his optimistic prediction that Bitcoin will reach $250,000 in 2023 despite the ongoing FTX-fueled crypto crisis.
“No change in the price forecast. Still $250,000 by early next year,” Draper said in an interview with Cointelegraph on November 15.
The collapse of cryptocurrency exchange FTX had nothing to do with Bitcoin’s success because Bitcoin is decentralized, and FTX was not, according to Draper.
“FTX was centralized, and relied on one founder,” the billionaire investor stated, referring to FTX founder and former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried. “When a currency is centralized – a central bank for example – it has a single point of failure, and it can be manipulated as well,” he added.
According to Draper, the downfall of FTX will only lead to more decentralization of crypto as recent events have once again demonstrated centralization’s biggest weaknesses:
“I think this fiasco will bring a lot of bitcoin extremists in. Note that your money is not safe in a centralized system, whether it is crypto or fiat.”
Draper also emphasized the importance of self-custody, which is in line with the principles of decentralization. At the same time, he also expressed his confidence in the centralized exchange Coinbase, saying, “I also hold my tokens with Ledger and Coinbase. Neither of them uses my tokens for borrowing or investing.”
As previously reported by Cointelegraph, Draper first made his famous Bitcoin prediction in 2018, predicting that BTC will reach $250,000 by the end of 2022 or early 2023.
The investor has repeated his prediction several times since then, ignoring major bear markets and the fallout from the collapse of major cryptocurrency exchanges and investment firms.

Not everyone is equally optimistic about the Bitcoin price in the near future. A Bitcoin advocate took to Twitter on November 7 to slam Draper’s predictions, arguing that Bitcoin clearly won’t reach $250,000 by mid-2023. He also called for learning from the past, pointing to a failed Bitcoin prediction by the late John McAfee.
According to Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, the FTX fiasco set the cryptocurrency industry back a few years, with more regulatory scrutiny ahead.

Public school buses may begin to carry more than students.
The St. Johns County School Board decided at its workshop Tuesday to consider placing advertisements on the inside of school buses.
The ads could be a new source of revenue for the district.
"We're down to bare bones with money as it is and we have to think of creative ways to earn revenue," said Carla Wright, School Board chairwoman.
Joe Purvis, director of transportation, said he is looking at Putnam County because its district is in the process of installing ads inside its school buses.
Purvis said Putnam County would place six bumper sticker-sized advertisements in each bus. Four of the stickers promote school-related programs, like Character Counts!, which would be paid for by outside sponsors.
The other two would be commercial sponsors.
The cost per sticker would be $75 each.
"With 110 buses, they will earn $45,000 to $60,000 this year," Purvis said.
The School District has 140 buses on the road. Using the same numbers as Putnam County, the district could earn $63,000.
"It's not a bad idea because it is another source of revenue," Wright said. "But, it depends on what we're advertising and where the money will go."
Purvis said the ads will come initially from small, local businesses.
Wright said she will veto any type of ads promoting junk food, and she would also prefer the revenue to go to a specific fund and not the general fund.
"That's just a bottomless hole," she said.
The legality of the advertising could be in question.
Purvis said Florida is among seven states that permit advertising on school buses. However, Florida statutes say ads are only permitted on the interior of the vehicle.
But St. Johns policy 9.05 says, "Advertising on school buses shall be prohibited."
Wright said if the School Board does want to move forward with the ads, the policy would have to change.
School Board member Tommy Allen said he didn't think advertisers would be interested because it is not effective to market to students.
Wright said the next steps are to review district policy, decide whether or not to move forward with the ads, then determine what to advertise and finally decide where the revenue will go.
"We're seriously considering it," she said.

I had planned on sharing another part of my bedroom makeover, but I got tied up in other directions, and didn’t have a chance to complete my next reveal. But stayed tuned, I hope to wrap it up very soon (see how I said hope – it doesn’t mean it’ll actually happen, but it’s wishful thinking)!
Instead, I have a great post for you that will be informative and eye opening.
Earlier in the week when I shared my newly made lined window panels, I started to ponder how others think window treatments should be hung. I sometimes take for granted that homeowners know the tricks that are innate in my brain. I saw this picture via pinterest, but created my own illustration to visually show the best way to hang window treatments to allow as much natural light to shine through and visually enlarge the space.
Do you see a difference between these two window examples?
(I hope you do)
Well let me share my answer and why!
Then we’ll add some window treatments.
On the left side are window drapery panels that mostly cover the window and are hung on a rod that is placed directly above the window trim.
On the right side are window drapery panels that extend out to mostly cover the wall, leaving only about 1-2″ covering the window. They are placed on a rod that is half way between the window trim and the ceiling.
Well if you haven’t realized yet, the right side is the right way to hang window drapery panels.
And this is why~
There is a HUGE amount of additional light that shines through when window drapery panels extend out and are mostly placed on the wall surface. Here’s an illustration showing the amount of light entering the space (seen in blue) for each window example.
This illustration shows how much of the window drapery fabric is covering the window (seen in red). Only a sliver of fabric covers the window on the right side, but a huge amount of fabric is covering the left side.
Take a look at some real-life examples.
Let’s first start with the WRONG way of hanging window panels.
The window hardware is smartly placed to bring the eye up, but the window panels cover the window WAY TOO MUCH – unless you don’t want to see your neighbors this is NOT the way to hang drapes. (via Southern Living)
In this example the drapery hardware is placed on the window frame, so the panels appear to be hovering over the door allowing only a small amount of light to shine through. (via ChicColes)
Now let’s check out the RIGHT way to hang drapery panels.
* Allow in a HUGE amount of natural light
* The higher placed hardware heightens the room and allows the eye to be drawn up
* The window feels wider
The window hardware is placed close to the ceiling allowing for the draperies to heighten the room. This is such a well-designed space with the same fabric used on all of the windows, they are different drapery styles (roman shades and long panels). (via Decor Pad)
Another well-designed space! Even though the ceilings are high this room feels even higher with the long, luxurious window drapery panels positioned to allow as much light to shine through. (via Decor Pad)
How are the window treatments hung in your home?

The plant produces delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active ingredient associated with intoxication. Marijuana resin, called hashish, contains an even higher concentration of THC.
The drug is usually smoked, but it can also be eaten. Its smoke irritates your lungs more and contains more cancer-causing chemicals than tobacco smoke. Common effects of marijuana use include pleasure, relaxation, and impaired coordination and memory.
Often, the first illegal drug people use, marijuana is associated with increased risk of progressing to more powerful and dangerous drugs such as cocaine and heroin. The risk for progressing to cocaine is 104 times higher if you have smoked marijuana at least once than if you never smoked marijuana.

Jet Raiders is a simple yet well made little game. The gameplay consists of flying around and shooting down enemy aircrafts that get in the way. The aircraft comes standard with only a few missiles but the ammo replenishes automatically. Many power ups float around that give players heat-seeking missiles, additional missiles, shields others to help players navigate the airspace safely. Points are awarded as players gun down enemies and progress through checkpoints. Each checkpoint is marked with a bridge that needs to be destroyed before the plane crashes into it. Like real planes, the planes in Jet Raiders will eventually run out of gas. Luckily there are large, floating blimps scattered throughout the game where the planes can refuel to continue on their mission.
The game has three different modes: classic, time attach and infinity. The classic mode consists of completing a variety of missions and making it to the finish line. It’s not very difficult to simply make it to the finish line, but it can be challenging to accomplish all the missions. The time attack mode is pretty self-explanatory. The object here is to race the clock to set new records without crashing. Last but not least, infinity mode gives players a chance to go as long as they can before their device runs out of battery.

The blazer style dress features red, gold and green weaving detail. The thigh-high boots feature the same detailing
I really like this ensemble but can’t stand the hair and makeup. I would’ve preferred a top knot bun and a nude lip.
What do you think? Are you into Nicole’s red carpet look?

Rural Health: Patient and Provider Challenges
According to the CDC, rural residents are more likely to die from chronic conditions including:
- Heart disease
- Chronic lower respiratory disease
Lack of access to healthcare is one of the top reasons for this gap. The barriers to care include:
- Long, often prohibitive, driving distances to major hospitals, clinics, or universities offering specialized care
- Too few local clinics and not enough providers
- Lack of access to medical technology
Rural residents are generally older and sicker than urban residents, according to the CDC. And rural children with mental or developmental disorders face more challenges to accessing care than their peers in urban settings.
Rural practices and providers are strained by high operating costs and a pattern of hospital and clinic closures. This leaves fewer providers doing even more work.
Other challenges include:
- An ongoing struggle to recruit health care providers, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, and other providers to rural areas, especially those far outside a metro area
- Lack of behavioral health providers to partner with on patient care
- Higher rates of patient suicide
- Higher number of patients with health concerns and complications from lack of access to care
- Lower levels of health overall and complications from lack of access to care
- Difficulty accessing critical healthcare infrastructure including electronic records, equipment, and generators
- Few or no obstetric and gynecology services
The Connect to Health @Your Library Pilot Can Help
Long, prohibitive driving distances to major hospitals, clinics, or universities offering specialized care.
Patients can use the public library in their area to access a telehealth appointment.
Patients can check out equipment or reserve a private, equipped room within the library to participate in a telehealth visit.
- Click here to see what libraries are participating in this project.
- Encourage your patient to check with their local library to see if they are participating in this project.
- Remind patients to schedule time with their local librarian ahead of the appointment. Librarians can help patients set up and test the equipment for a successful visit.
Outreach toolkit for healthcare providers coming soon!
