Correlation Between A.I.M. & George Jackson
Komrade George foresaw the need for the AIM some 50 years ago in his dissertation, “On Withdrawal”. By drawing the correlations between his analysis, the current socio-economic and political state of the U.S. and the purpose of the AIM, it is my hope to clarify the AIM’s potential and why it is so vital to the cause of New Afrikan National Liberation Revolution and to all of humanity.
The U.S. is the most advanced fascist state in the history of human civilization. In 2021 it has succeeded in convincing New Afrikans in Amerika – descendants of over 4 centuries of chattel slavery- to actively participate in their own oppression, social containment and extermination. It has indoctrinated the vast majority of its workers to identify its social, political and economic interests with the same elites who have so thoroughly exploited them, that they’ve managed to concentrate 99% of the nation’s wealth into the hands of a scant 2% of the population, while they struggle to feed their children and pay off their ever-expanding debt. It has stridden the world stage declaring itself the bastion of freedom, justice and equality while preserving the most lethal racism, overt injustice and glaring inequality as the very FUNCTION of its every institution.
Reactionary nationalism, hate based scapegoating and violent repression are redefined and hailed as the noble values of patriotism, defense of the homeland and ‘national security’.
In contrast, pursuit of genuine Freedom, Justice and Equality is recast as dangerous anti-Americanism, potential-terrorist militancy and threats of usurpation.
The nature and structure of modern U.S. society precludes the – very possibility of true Freedom for New Afrikans and other nation ally oppressed People. We live without justice because the very function of U.S. “Law & Order’’ policy is NOT to achieve that end, but instead to ensure the social containment and orderly disposal of racially undesirable and economically underperforming surplus labor segments of the underclass.
Equality is NOT POSSIBLE because the very function of the U.S. economic class & race caste systems is to ensure the hierarchy and hegemony of patriarchal authoritarian white male privilege and the ongoing extraction of super profits for the Capitalist class.
The primary mechanism employed by U.S. fascist institutions to perpetuate themselves, with little to no opposition (and neutralize any opposition if it does arise), is REFORM.
In his groundbreaking analysis, “On Withdrawal”, the Honorable Komrade George L. Jackson observed:
“Corporative ideals have reached their logical conclusion in the U.S.. The new corporate state has fought its way through crisis after crisis and established it’s ruling elites in every important institution, formed its partnership with labor through its elites, erected the most massive network of protective agencies replete with spies, technical and animal, to be found in any police state in the world. The violence of the ruling class in this country in the long process of its trend towards authoritarianism and its last and highest state, fascism, can not be rivaled in its excesses by any other nation on Earth today or in history… Fascism has temporarily succeeded under the guise of reform.”
When we speak of fascism most will envision Italy under Mussolini, Spain under Franco or Germany under Hitler, and declare this is fascism. They will look to these primitive models of the system, then look at Amerika and say they can’t possibly be living in a fascist state. To them I say the U.S. has more of its citizens interned in prisons, more people locked behind walls, barbed wire and gun towers than ANY OTHER NATION ON EARTH. The U.S. has more People in prison than China, Russia, North Korea and Iran COMBINED. Fascism in the U.S. is lightyears more advanced than anything Hitler or any of these primitive fascists could have begun to imagine.
Fascism, like any other ideology- is a LIVING thing, constantly growing, evolving and disguising itself. This process of growth, evolution and disguise is known as REFORM. Across the U.S. many who claim to be the rebels and progressives of the day are actually clamoring for reform.
Be it economic reform, police reform, election reform or – educational reform- it is simply a reformation of the same oppres sive relationships the People are screaming to be free of.
The unfortunate reality is so many of Our People have been conditioned against collective work and responsibility, against New Afrikan National identity, against Unity and against rational resistance that they will accept- even fight for- reform (thus effectively neutralizing any Revolutionary potential) rather than oppose the fascist arrangement itself.
So then, what must we do? What steps must be taken if we are to ever realize genuine Freedom, Justice and Equality for Our People? If the very nature and structure of U.S. institutions is to ensure these principles are forever out of Our reach, then any social act we take which moves us closer to realizing them, by definition, must be Revolutionary. It will change social conditions, and as such, change the People and the world we live in.
Komrade George observed:
Fascism has temporarily succeeded under the guise of reform. “The only way we can destroy it is to refuse to compromise with the enemy state and it’s ruling class. Today we are forced with…the complexities of a particularly refined fascist economic arrangement, where the controlling elites have co-opted large portions of the lowly working class.
When we ask ourselves: Where will we attack the enemy state. We are answered: At the productive point. The next logical question is with whom and what will we attack the fortified entrance of the productive and distributive system in a nation of short sighted, contented conservative workers? Obviously, the fascist movement is counter revolution at its very center…From its inception the fascist arrangement has attempted to create the illusion of a mass society in which the traditional capitalist ruling class would continue to play its leading role…After its successful establishment in Spain, Portugal, Greece, South Africa and the United States of America, we are faced with the obvious question of “how to raise a new consciousness.
We are faced with the task of raising a positive mobilization of Revolutionary consciousness in a mass that has “gone through” a contrapositive authoritarian process.”
I researched, devised and designed the AIM and its Initiatives while I was in solitary confinement. As I write this, I am in prison now.
Prison provides a unique perspective on social life and the mechanisms of civilization. Within this socially hostile microcosm lies an even more repressive, more extremely brutal environment: the indefinite solitary confinement unit, or SHU. It is, in effect, prison within prison, the most repressive environment in the U.S. fascist arrangement. From this unique socio-political perspective all of Amerikas’ contradictions are laid bare, from this point of view the fascist arrangement is as clear as a pane of glass.
Dialectically, the rational response to it is equally clear: RESISTANCE.
It was from this meager view point that the Autonomous Infrastructure Mission was devised. The intention and motive force of the AIM was not simply to detach from the daily exploitation of the U.S. capitalist arrangement or provide a mere Community alternative to its processes. No. The purpose of the AIM is multifaceted, with one of its core functions to transform the minds of the People themselves.
The People (by and large) have been conditioned to compete, not cooperate; to revere hyper-individualism while looking skeptically upon collective work and responsibility; to be dependent on the same institutions responsible for their oppression instead of depending on one another.
But what if we could provide them with the blueprint to expose the fallacy of this socially engineered lie? What if we could develop a framework where we could demonstrate through social practice that Unity will serve Our interests more effectively than division, that a new and more prosperous way of social life could – be had RIGHT NOW, if only we withdrew from the fascist arrangement by building Our own Autonomous Infrastructure.
If we make a dialectical materialist analysis of the primary “productiveness point” in the U.S. fascist arrangement we find it is the workers, the People themselves, who are that “productive point.” We can not hope to convince the People to abandon the chains they have become comfortable with, without also providing them with a liberation that still meets their basic needs. This is one of the principle functions of the AIM.
Now before I go any further, I want us to proceed with clarity as to the point of the U.S. being the most advanced and successful fascist state in human history. What makes U.S. fascism the most advanced is the systematic defense/attack mechanisms built into its every institution, and its uncanny ability to disguise and redefine itself. Nevertheless, there are certain defining characteristics common to all fascist regimes be they Germany under Hitler, Indonesia under Suharto, Chile under Pinochet or the U.S. under Trump. Here I will present fourteen of these characteristics with an example or two to illustrate its inherent inclusion in the Amerikan way of life.
1) POWERFUL AND CONTINUING NATIONALISM
From the compulsory recitation of the pledge of allegiance in every U.S. public school to the “Make America Great Again” fervor of the white Nationalist Republican Party, powerful and reactionary nationalism has always been a hallmark of U.S. culture, and it only continues to grow stronger year over year with both the conservative right and liberal centrists alike.
2) DISDAIN FOR THE RECOGNITION OF HUMAN RIGHTS
Dehumanization of New Afrikans, Latinos, Indigenous and the poor is Amerikan as “Apple Pie.” From the genocide of Native Americans to the system of chattel slavery; from the brutality of Jim Crow apartheid to the rampant murder of unarmed New Afrikans by police; from the brutalization of prisoners of war at Abu Gharaib, Guantanamo Bay and CIA black sites around the world to presiding over the largest domestic torture program in human history in Solitary Confinement Supermax prisons across the U.S., disdain for human rights-and masking it under some other pretext- has always been U.S. National policy.
To be sure, the U.S. remains one of the only industrialized nations who has NOT signed on to the U.N. Rights of the Child Treaty, presumably because of the Amerikan penchant to imprison children. Human rights are always secondary to National interests in Amerika.
3) IDENTIFICATION OF ENEMIES/SCAPEGOATS AS A UNIFYING CAUSE
Be it the resistance of Indigenous People as a justification for wars of extermination, the fear of New Afrikan empowerment as a justification for COINTELPRO, the “War on Drugs” and Mass Incarceration, or the current scapegoating of immigrants, anti-fascists and Black protest movements as the source of all the Nations woes, the U.S. has ALWAYS used this racist, xenophobic and anti-poor narrative to whip masses of reactionaries into a patriotic frenzy to attack or socially contain perceived “common threats.”
4) SUPREMACY OF THE MILITARY
No matter the economic crisis, how dire and widespread inequality and domestic suffering may be, a disproportionate amount of the social product will always be funneled to maintaining the Military Industrial Complex, and to ensure military service is revered and rewarded in every realm of social life, no matter the atrocities these forces may have committed in the nations name. This has always been the ‘American Way’.
5) RAMPANT SEXISM
Amerika is a patriarchal authoritarian hegemony of white male privilege. Be it overt inequality of pay in the private sector, rampant rape and sexual harassment in the military or pervasive domestic violence across every strata of U.S. society, sexism has always been a central pillar of the U.S. race-class system. Under U.S. fascism gender repression is embedded into the very notion of “Conservative Family Values”, while publicly superficial “reforms” are highlighted to disguise it’s perpetuation.
6) CONTROLLED MASS MEDIA
Because U.S. fascism is a Corporatocracy, “state controlled media” is more accurately termed “ruling class controlled media”.
This form of control ensures the media moves the states agenda ever forward (which IS the ruling classes agenda) via government regulation, censorship of opposing or alternative social perspectives and/or media executives and personalities sympathetic to law enforcement, state and business interests.
7) OBSESSION WITH NATIONAL SECURITY
From the forcing of Indigenous Nations onto reservations to the Fugitive Slave Act; from the Counter-Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO) to Japanese internment camps; from the U.S. Patriot Act to the Domestic Surveillance State that monitors every move you take and every call you make, the U.S. has perfected the art of stoking the People’s worst fears to claim ever greater powers over the People’s lives and choices all in the name of National Security.
8) RELIGION AND GOVERNMENT ARE INTERTWINED
Christianity and American Politics are so thoroughly intertwined that politicians of both major fascist Parties (Democrats and Republicans) must of necessity pander to one or another of the Christian constituencies, be it the Evangelical Christians, Christian Identity Fundamentalists or Southern Baptist Caucus. Religious rhetoric is routinely used to manipulate and influence large swathes of the national population in spite of the same regimes, policies and activities running contrary to the stated Christian ideals.
9) CORPORATE POWER IS PROTECTED
The United States is first and foremost a predatory capitalist/ imperialist regime, its every dinstitution beholden to the business and corporate interests the state exists to protect. As Komrade George observed, “The most precise definitions of fascism involve the concept of “scientific capitalism” or “controlled capitalism”…” To be sure, the U.S. may be one of the only nations on Earth where corporations are, for purposes of law and social influence, considered ‘People’ (see, In Re Citizens United). In such an arrangement is there any wonder that in instances of extreme economic duress the states first “bailout” responsibility is to the Banks and not the People?
10) LABOR POWER IS SUPPRESSED
Union busting and co-optation of organized labor has been so thorough in the progression of the U.S. fascist arrangement that genuine Unions are a rarity in this country, and where they do exist such unions are all too often lobbying wings of state Institutions (like the CCPOA) or side with corporate management with the most meager of concessions. The U.S. working class, unfortunately, is among the least Revolutionary segments of Amerikan society.
11) OVERT RACISM
It is my assessment, even with the dismal example of apartheid South Africa, that no nation in human history has taken the expression of overt racism to the heights and lengths that have been the hallmark of Amerikkka from it’s very inception. From the Slave Codes to Jim Crow Apartheid, from the Eugenicists Movement to the KKK, from the Proud Boys to Donald Trump’s Republican Party – overt racism in EVERY institution in this nation, at the very core of its culture, has always been a pillar of the United States.
12) OBSESSION WITH CRIME AND PUNISHMENT
The mantra of the U.S. across the globe is it is the nation where “the Rule of Law” reigns. Law Enforcement in the U.$. has virtually limitless power to subordinate the People to the state’s dictates, its inequalities and racist usurpations. The judicial machinery in the U.S. and its culture of imprisonment has resulted in the largest prison population on Earth, the vast majority of which are New Afrikans and Latinos, though combined they barely constitute a quarter of the nation's population. The U.S. is the quintessential Police State.
13) RAMPANT CRONYISM
From obfuscation of Government complicity in the Tuskegee experiments and the U.S. Drug Trade, to the U.S. Counter Intelligence Program and the political cronyism of the Trump regime, the U.S. has always been governed by groups, friends and associates who appoint one another, (or pardon one another) to maintain power and authority while escaping culpability or punishment for crimes against the People.
The very notion of “political appointees’’ and ambassadorships is a formal structure of cronyism built into the very structure of Amerikan politics. Be it the Nixon White House, backroom handshaking of the Clinton administration or orgy of crony corruption that defined the Trump regime- rampant cronyism and corruption is U.S. policy.
14) FRAUDULENT ELECTIONS
Democracy in the U.S. has ALWAYS been an exercise in fraud- not for the reasons it impacts many other fascist states (i.e., ballot stuffing, assassination of opposition candidates, etc.), instead electoral fraud is achieved through suppressing voter access, legislation to control voter access of specific populations or voting methods, jerrymandering of voting districts and media manipulation. From the poll taxes and literacy tests to the current wave of voter suppression laws sweeping across Republican ran states, fraudulent elections have ALWAYS been a part of Amerikan democracy.
To truly understand why Withdrawal from the U.S. fascist arrangement is so vital to genuine New Afrikan Revolutionary social change, and the A.I.M.’s integral role in that process, we must all come to understand that fascism is not something that is imposed on the People, but a mass psychology supported by the People. Before social forces ever manifest themselves externally, the contradiction arises and is played out internally.
Komrade George observed, In Blacks, the authoritarian traits are mainly the effects of “terrorism and lack of intellectual stimulation. The communal experience will redeem them. At present, the Black worker is simply choosing the less dangerous and complicated strategy of survival. All classes and all People are subject to the authoritarian syndrome. It is an atavistic throwback to the herd instinct. But it requires only the proper trauma, the proper eco-sociological set of circumstantial pressure to bring forth a Revolutionary consciousness.”
In order to positively influence an objectively negative social trend you must introduce its OPPOSITE. The principles of unitary conduct, collective work & responsibility, self determination and functional autonomy reflected in both the developmental processes and functional application of the AIM eradicates the influence of the fascist mass-psychology in the minds of the People. They are forced to confront and overcome it.
The People’s attitudes are reflective of their conditions.
Psychologically and socially speaking, they are impacted just as deeply by the socio-economic and political processes which are responsible for those conditions. By not only altering the People’s daily lives for the better, but also ensuring they carry it out with their own hands, that the People themselves become their own Liberators, their attitudes will come to reflect the New Afrikan Revolutionary positive objective of shining the light of Freedom, Justice and Equality over the face of all, a light they themselves are shining. This is an internal process who’s external manifestation has but one logical conclusion: Revolutionary social change.
But why is the A.I.M. So integral to this process?
Komrade George noted,
“The new vanguard elements seem to agree that withdrawal from the enemy state and its social, political and economic life is the first step towards its (fascism’s) destruction. The new vanguard elements seem to agree that the new Revolutionary consciousness will develop in the struggles of withdrawal… They are the obvious answer to all the theoretical and practical questions and problems about an American Revolution – a Revolution that will be carried out principally by Blacks…It will involve building a political, social and economic infrastructure, capable of filling the vacuum that has been left by the establishment ruling class and pushing the occupying forces of the enemy culture from our midst.
The implementation of this new social, political and economic program will feed and comfort all the People on at least a subsistence level, and force the ‘owners’ of the enemy bourgeois culture either to tie their whole fortunes to the commune and the People, or to leave the land, the tools and the market behind…”
The purpose of the Autonomous Infrastructure Mission is: to forge our own food systems and proto-agricultural institutions through the Sustainable Agricultural Commune (SAC);
to build our – own jobs and businesses through the Closed-Circuit Economic Initiative (CCEI);
to build our own science, engineering, medical and technological infrastructure through the New Afrikan Math & Science Centers Initiative;
to educate, train and economically empower our youth to serve, protect and be active participants in the success of our communities through the Youth-Community Action Program (Y-CAP);
to develop a network in our communities capable of affirmatively responding to save lives and resources in the event of a natural disaster or civil unrest through the Emergency Response Network (ERN);
to ensure the safety and security of our women, children and elders at those sites in Our Communities that they most frequently go to in their daily processes of social life through the Community Safe-Zones Initiative, and finally,
to ensure Our Communities have the necessary training, resources and orientation to defend themselves, their Institutions and Community from ANY threat through the Secure Communities Mandate (SCM) – all without reliance on ANY aspect of the fascist state.
The A.I.M. is just what it asserts itself to be:
A MISSION TO BUILD AN AUTONOMOUS COMMUNITY-BASED INFRASTRUCTURE, ONE BASED ON NEW AFRIKAN REVOLUTIONARY SCIENTIFIC SOCIALIST PRINCIPLES.
An infrastructure which not only provides a viable alternative to the fascist arrangement, but is in fact a functional program of transfer-culture, deliberately and systematically decoupling and withdrawing from the U.S. capitalist state to forge a new and more sustainable basis for social life guarded by its most Revolutionary segment of the population: the New Afrikan in Amerika.
As Komrade George observed:
“The Commune. The central city wide Revolutionary culture. But who will build the Commune that will guide the People into a significant challenge to property rights? Carving out a commune in the central city will involve claiming certain rights as our own- out front. Rights that have not been respected to now. Property rights. It will involve building a political, social and economic infrastructure capable of filling the vacuum that has been left by the establishment ruling class and pushing the occupying forces of the enemy culture from our midst.”
This can not be stated enough. When the inevitable fascist reaction to this withdrawal finds these institutions under attack once again, unlike in the past, we will have a base from which to operate and resist- one capable of meeting Our basic needs and providing the corresponding social and political action to further expose and isolate the fascist forces to and from the People.
These struggles to grow and defend our Autonomous Infrastructure will of necessity create new Men and Women, more progressive modes of thought and behavior which are not only life-affirming, but in active opposition to those forces which are destructive to life. Resistance to repression will not be reactive, but systematic and inherent in the very processes of daily life.
As the AIM grows, the fascist arrangement will weaken in direct proportion. Remember, the primary productive point of the capitalist system is the People themselves. Like a machine reliant on a specific electrical current to operate, as that current is diverted to power another machine, its function will be increasingly compromised until it ceases to function at all.
As more and more Communities withdraw from the fascist arrangement via the AIM, the less functional it will become. This will of course mean an evolution in the contradiction, but that is a discussion for another time. However, make no mistake, organized self-defense is as necessary to our Autonomous Infrastructure as is food.
In the final analysis, the AIM is the modern evolution of the Black Commune model envisioned by Komrade George’s analysis “On Withdrawal” and is as essential today to Our quest for a better life, as it was in 1970.
As Komrade George observed:
“Without the collective sense of Community, without its movement institutions (our survival projects that will now grow into infrastructure), we simply never will be an effective force.”
Think on these things. They are cause for great meditation.

The Indian government may arm itself with more powers under the IT Act to pull down apps and offending websites. This is at the proposal stage right now and may be formalised soon.
This move is being seen as an offshoot of the discussions the government has held with major companies with some stake or the other in the issues involved. The two areas that have been highlighted are child pornography and spread of fake news.
As a first step, the government wanted sites like WhatsApp, Facebook and Twitter to institute a mechanism where the origin of any fake news can be identified and arraigned before the law enforcement. But there were reservations expressed by these organisations that they donâ€™t have such a mechanism in place. The government now feels that the only alternative is to bring the site itself down by forcing the service providers like telcos and ISPs.
â€śWe need accountability and power to heavily penalise the companies in case of violations, or refusal to cooperateâ€ť. This is how an official of the government is reported to have said on the issue. The areas where the government and in turn the political party in power have issues with the social media sites, are content deemed interfering with politics and elections, besides the child porn related content.
Meanwhile, the government is also working on a data protection bill on the lines of the GDPR in Europe and taking a leaf out of GDPR, the penalties being proposed in the data protection law are quite steep, Rs 15 crore or 4% of the worldwide turnover. Now there is a hint that similar fines and penalties may be brought to the IT Act, which violators of the above-mentioned categories may have to face.
That the IT Act as it exists is inadequate to meet the needs to regulate the industry is being voiced by many and at the government level too. But there is no concrete proposal yet on the table describing what is considered a violation and how it will be dealt with.
Closing down a website or removing access to an app completely may sound like extreme actions, but one will have to wait and see what shape the amendments to the IT Act will take.


Calabasas council rescinds septic law – Calabasas Real Estate News
Calabasas council rescinds septic law2012-02-02 / CommunityBy Sylvie Belmond
The Calabasas City Council has closed the book on a controversial septic tank inspection law that was accused of creating stress and hardship over the past year for some homeowners in the rural parts of town.
Last week, the council overturned the law and restored the regulations to what they were before the adoption of the septic tank ordinance, a law that was pushed heavily by former Councilmember Barry Groveman.
“ This rescinds the codes passed two years ago and takes us back to that date,” Mayor James Bozajian said. In the future, the city will abide by septic tank regulations that are being developed by the state.
In 2009 the city passed an ordinance requiring property owners who have on-site wastewater treatment systems to obtain operating permits and to make sure their septic tanks working properly.
Building officials inspected 138 septic systems in Calabasas. Twenty of those properties subsequently hooked up to sewers. Of the 118 that remained, 31 received violation notices stating that their septic tanks were failing.
The city will work with the property owners who have notices of violation to help them make their systems work. If a faulty tank only affects private property and not creeks or public rights of way, the city will dismiss the notice of violation without further inspection.
The city will also accept inspections recently performed by a licensed inspector who can confirm that a system is working properly.
But if a code enforcement complaint comes from a third party, the city will investigate, as it would with any other building violation. If the system is found to be defective or overflowing and poses a health risk, it must be repaired, city officials said.
Councilmember Fred Gaines says he’s not opposed to the septic systems.
“But septic systems in our city, as far as I’m concerned, have to work,” Gaines said.
Bozajian, who initiated the repeal, apologized to the community for the trouble the city septic ordinance may have caused.
“I’m very pleased tonight that the council is taking this direction,” he said.


Sound technician Nimish Pilankar, who reportedly worked on the recently released Marjaavaan and Housefull 4, has died at 29 years old. Nimish is said to have suffered from high blood pressure, which resulted in brain haemorrhage.
Actor Vipin Sharma responded to a post on Twitter about Nimish's untimely death. He stated, "Many techs work overtime n rarely get paid for that. It's terrible. Afraid to loose work they stay quiet n keep working. Many times they may not get fully paid as well while they already accept to work for less money in the first place. Rest in Peace Nimish Pilankar."
Director and maker Mrunalinni Patil had likewise affirmed the news on Twitter. She expressed, "SOUND TECHNICIAN, NIMISH PILANKAR, aged 29, has passed away…of high blood pressure leading to brain haemorrhage. Point is; does anyone care? Technicians contribute silently n immeasurably to Bollywood cinema. They work long hours coz they love cinema. Do they get credit."
As per a report in India Today, Nimish had a vocation leap forward with Salman Khan's 2018 film Race 3. He proceeded to take a shot at movies, for example, Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, Kesari, and Jalebi.
In the interim, Housefull 4 is approaching the Rs 200 crore mark while Marjaavaan has gathered Rs 42 crore in 10 days.

Meet the BMW i Imaginative and prescient Dee, the automaker’s important exhibit at this yr’s Shopper Electronics Present (CES) in Las Vegas.
The mid-size sedan idea previews the styling language and tech for the model’s upcoming Neue Klasse of EVs, the primary of which is able to go into manufacturing in 2025 within the type of a 3 Sequence-sized electrical sedan. Thoughts you, BMW says the design of the i Imaginative and prescient Dee – the place “Dee” stands for Digital Emotional Expertise – has been intentionally pared down for CES to focus consideration on the digital expertise and the DNA of the BMW model.
Key exterior styling options embody the basic three-box sedan design and reimagined BMW kidney grille, twin round headlights and Hofmeister kink, with “phygital” (fusion of bodily and digital) icons changing analog components.
The automobile can also be outfitted with full-color E Ink know-how and may current its exterior in as much as 32 colours – or mix them – courtesy of an ePaper movie that covers the whole physique, which is divided into 240 individually managed E Ink segments. That is an evolution of the black-and-white BMW iX Flow Featuring E Ink unveiled at CES 2022.
Inside, digitalization goes hand in hand with minimalism, with BMW providing as few supplies, working controls and shows as doable to make sure nothing distracts from the digital expertise.
One other ingredient price mentioning is the unconventional steering wheel with a central vertical spoke and contact factors that come to life when approached or touched by the motive force’s thumb. These contact factors management collection of the content material projected onto the windscreen and, along with the Head-Up Show, assist the precept of “fingers on the wheel, eyes on the highway.”
Talking of the Head-Up Show, it extends throughout the complete width of the windscreen, a function that can even be discovered on the fashions of the Neue Klasse from 2025. The windscreen solely turns into recognizable as a show as soon as it’s activated. BMW says this demonstrates the massive potential of projection know-how. We’d add that it is refreshing to see a brand new automobile that does not have an enormous display screen on the dashboard.
The BMW Blended Actuality Slider is the central working management of BMW i Imaginative and prescient Dee. Working along with the Head-Up Show, the system permits the motive force to resolve how a lot digital content material they wish to see on the windscreen by utilizing shy-tech sensors on the instrument panel.
The five-step choice ranges from analog, to driving-related information, to the contents of the communications system, to augmented-reality projection, and to entry into digital worlds. Talking of the latter, the home windows could be dimmed to steadily fade out actuality, permitting passengers to expertise combined actuality in an immersive method with out requiring any extra instruments.
One other fascinating function of the BMW i Imaginative and prescient Dee is the personalised welcome state of affairs, which mixes graphical components, gentle and sound results. The headlights and the closed BMW kidney grille type a standard icon on a uniform floor, permitting the automobile to provide completely different facial expressions.
In line with BMW, “the i Imaginative and prescient Dee can speak to folks and, on the identical time, specific moods akin to pleasure, astonishment or approval visually.” It could additionally mission a picture of the motive force’s avatar onto the aspect window to additional personalize the welcome state of affairs.
Sadly, we do not get to be taught something concerning the Imaginative and prescient i Dee’s powertrain, however BMW says it’s going to present additional insights and glimpses of the revolutionary automobile idea of the Neue Klasse over the course of this yr.

Volunteers recognised and celebrated at Coastguard Awards of Excellence
Coastguard volunteers from across Aotearoa have been recognised and celebrated over the weekend for their immense contributions to saving lives at sea.
Coastguard's Awards of Excellence are an annual event that celebrate volunteers and units across ten award categories. This year, given current Covid-19 restrictions, the awards were held online. The categories acknowledge rescue operations, community engagement and our volunteers on the water, in the air, at the end of the radio and behind the scenes who ensure our volunteers can be there for boaties in their time of need.
In the last 12 months our 1,978 volunteers gave an incredible 291,402 hours of their time to saving lives at sea - a remarkable statistic by any measure. Over this time, Coastguard volunteers conducted more than 3,500 operations and brought more than 8,000 people home to safety.
We are delighted to announce the following winners at the 2021 Coastguard Awards of Excellence.
Coastguard Volunteer of the Year (Supreme Award) – Richard Craig, Coastguard Kaikoura
The supreme Coastguard award commends an individual who has demonstrated the utmost in excellence in their commitment to the work they do in Coastguard. This supreme award is evaluated through the judging of the individual volunteer categories that cover each area of expertise.
This year’s winner is Richard Craig from Coastguard Kaikoura who also received the award for Coastguard Rescue Vessel Volunteer of the Year which recognises a wet crew member whose commitment, contribution and dedication to their role on board a Coastguard Rescue Vessel has been continually demonstrated to their unit.
Richard is a Life Member of Coastguard Kaikoura and notably played an integral part in the project planning and fundraising securing $700k for a larger and more purpose-built rescue vessel, an 11.3m Naiad-designed boat his unit still uses today.
Richard joined Coastguard Kaikoura over 34 years ago and is now the longest-serving volunteer in the unit. It was a natural adoption for him to take, having loved the sea and boats from an early age and being introduced to Coastguard life by his father, Jack. Richard’s skills and knowledge are exceptional, and he’s a well-respected member of the unit and the wider emergency services team playing pivotal roles in rescues and other disasters such as the Kaikoura earthquake. Whether it’s on or off the water, Richard’s dedication to the unit and Coastguard’s cause is unwavering.
With more than 30 years of making a difference with Coastguard, Richard is an incredibly well-deserved winner of both awards.
Coastguard Air Patrol Volunteer of the Year – Mark McCarthy, Auckland Coastguard Air Patrol
This award recognises an outstanding Coastguard Air Patrol volunteer who has exemplified the commitment, effort and dedication to making a significant different to the success of Coastguard achieving our Vision of ‘No Boaties’ lives lost at sea.’
Mark has been a backbone for the unit for nearly 20 years. In addition to undertaking numerous successful search and rescue operations over the past two decades, he plays a major role in the administration of the unit including keeping the flight database up to date and organising the roster. Mark lives the vision of Coastguard by having flown each and every tasking that he has undertaken over his years of service with the professionalism that we all aspire to achieve.
Coastguard Communications/Incident Management Volunteer of the Year – Pat Collins, Coastguard Wellington
This award recognises excellence in the performance of Radio Operators and Volunteers working in Incident Management roles that support Search and Rescue (SAR) and Coastguard Operations.
Pat is one of the SAR coordinators for Coastguard Wellington. A key example of her incredibly hard work was during a search for a missing kayaker. She was instrumental in the communications with the search which covered two days. This included coordinating crews, arranging refuelling of Coastguard Rescue Vessel (CRV) Spirit of Wellington, and maintaining frequent communication with the Police. She was also in regular contact with the Unit President with search updates and crew welfare purposes. Pat contacted members of the search crews at the conclusion of the incident and ensured everyone had the welfare support they needed.
Pat always ensures that the CRV base and launch facilities are always safe and ready for crews to use at all times. She also utilises her incredible wealth of contacts for the better of the unit. Everything that Pat does makes a difference every time the crew and vessels go out.
Coastguard Unit Support Volunteer of the Year – Ken Wood, Coastguard Taranaki
This award recognises excellence in supporting roles within units and regions, such as board or committee roles, shore crew, training officers, secretaries and other non-operational volunteers.
Ken’s outstanding contribution in an onshore support role ensures the unit’s CRV, Todd Energy Rescue, is always fully maintained for the safety of the unit’s crew and ready to respond to a call out 24/7. Ken is currently volunteering 6-7 hours a day to the unit and actively supports any onshore projects or maintenance that need completing. These have included an upgrade of the radio room, installing new 10m aerial masts to provide better VHF radio coverage, fitting additional shelves with cargo safety nets in the crew shed, and improving the mooring ropes system. Ken’s professionalism and how he engages with the crew and service suppliers have quickly earned him the respect of all the unit. Ken provides invaluable onshore support, and his contribution allows for the cohesive running of the Taranaki unit.
Coastguard Community Engagement Unit of the Year – Coastguard Whitianga
This award recognises excellence in the areas of public relations, fundraising or community engagement activity by an individual or group.
The Alan Jackson Memorial Cadet Program is a stand-out achievement for Coastguard Whitianga in terms of what it provides for the local community and the Coastguard profile. Inspired by late long-serving Coastguard volunteer Patron Alan Jackson and his dream to develop a Coastguard cadetship, the program was successfully launched in 2019 as a platform to introduce youth to the world of leadership, self-discipline, responsibility and health and safety on the water and in the workplace.
The young cadets, made up of ten teenage students from the local school, receive an insight into how Coastguard works from the radio operators, wet crew, and Incident Management Team over an intensive 12-week period. The cadetship aims to provide youth with skills to set them up with a lifetime of safe boating knowledge.
The cadetship programme has allowed the Whitianga unit to give something back to the community to show their appreciation for the support given over many years. It has generated an interest in Coastguard activities by a much younger age group than is usually the case and has undoubtedly cemented itself within the local community and culture.
This is the second year in a row that Coastguard Whitianga has received this special award.
Coastguard Emerging (Young) Volunteer of the Year – Matthew Harvey, Coastguard Hawkes Bay
This new award for 2021 recognises a newer volunteer under 30, who has demonstrated the commitment and dedication required to be an outstanding volunteer, and who has already made a great contribution.
27-year-old Matthew Harvey is the epitome of a role model volunteer, his dedication to the unit and to Coastguard is unquestionable. Over the past year, he has skippered almost 70 per cent of the units training sessions and gives around 14 hours each week to volunteering. He spends a considerable amount of time helping the unit’s inductees with their training, organises additional training for those coming up to Operational Assessments and constantly helps crew upskill by providing practical and positive feedback. Matthew has undoubtedly contributed genuinely and practically in keeping people safe on the water in Hawkes Bay. He is a real talent within his unit.
Coastguard Outstanding Leadership Award – Peter Kara, Coastguard Nelson
This new award for 2021 recognises those who make a difference and lead the way. These volunteers are held in high regard for the leadership, initiative, and commitment they bring to their unit and Coastguard.
Peter’s leadership is second to none. He has played an instrumental part in turning Coastguard Nelson around from a low point 10 years ago, when the unit had a small number of volunteers and wasn’t well-equipped. Looking at it today, you would think it was a completely different unit due to its strong and committed volunteer base and it’s high-functioning and inclusive team culture. Peter’s focus is always on Coastguard’s mission and building team culture and capabilities that ensure the job is done properly. His philosophy of success is everyone being invested in the same thing, holding the same vision close and ensuring everyone is OK, from volunteers and their families to those who have been rescued. Peter truly is an inspirational leader and in the words of Nelson Training Coordinator Rosie Musters, "He is our Kaitiaki”.
Coastguard Unit of the Year – Coastguard Nelson
This award recognises the unit who in the past year has achieved excellence in all aspects of its management and operational activities.
2021 has been a big year for Coastguard Nelson. In March the unit finally welcomed the arrival of new rescue vessel, Hohapata Sealord Rescue after three and half years of hard work, passion and strict oversight. On top of this, the unit recently received international recognition for their lifesaving work in the form of an International Maritime Rescue Federation (IMRF) Award for their exemplary efforts in rescuing a 12-tonne sailing yacht drifting in the Cook Straight amid 20 to 25 knot gusts. These two achievements highlight the incredible amount of pride and dedication present within the unit which is reflected in the work they complete in their community.
Coastguard Rescue of the Year – Coastguard Maraetai, Auckland Coastguard Air Patrol, Communications North and Coastguard Thames
This prestigious award recognises an exceptional rescue crew who have undertaken an outstanding Search and Rescue or Coastguard operation.
All four Coastguard assets played vital parts in rescuing a father and his two young children after their kayak capsized 1 kilometre off Kaiaua in July. This sparked a category 1 multi-agency Search and Rescue operation where communication across all responding services played a critical role in not only locating the kayak, but also coordinating air assets, search patterns and the mission plan.
Coastguard Maraetai was on the water fighting windy conditions with Auckland Air Patrol searching above. On their third sweep of the area, Air Patrol spotted the kayak, dropping a dye marker and within a few minutes, Maraetai found them – the father clinging onto his two children, one conscious and breathing but deteriorating and the other requiring CPR. The casualties were transported to shore, while Coastguard Thames retrieved the kayak. When the family were flown to hospital, the child was at status 1, but sadly later passed away.
This rescue was a massive test of resilience and strength, physically and emotionally. While it wasn’t the outcome anyone hoped for, the rescue highlights the collaborative success of those emergency services and agencies concerned. The team performed their roles admirably under extreme pressure, and it was a gallant effort to try and save the lives of three people and one that impacted everyone involved.

What’s it about getting Marvel Girl to the large display screen?
That was the big question the Hollywood Reporter posed this week. After losing Michelle MacLaren (Breaking Dangerous, The Strolling Useless, Sport of Thrones) on Monday, the leisure publication reports that the venture has discovered a new director. Patty Jenkins, who was in the operating to direct Thor 2, will take the job. A minimum of for now.
“Deciding on Jenkins helps Warners keep away from what some noticed as a gender bias towards ladies administrators helming superhero tentpoles,” THR writes. “Sarcastically, Jenkins would have been the primary feminine director on a Marvel film if she had continued on Thor 2. She is going to now develop into the primary feminine director to deal with a massive venture in Warner’s creating DC universe.”
Jenkins has beforehand directed Monster, the film in which Charlize Theron remodeled herself into, yep, a hideous monster of a human being to win an Oscar.
Marvel Girl remains to be supposed to come back out in 2017 with Gal Gadot to star. Right here’s hoping.

The Department for Education (DfE) has been accused of having a “lack of understanding” of the financial pressures schools are facing after lambasting heads for shortening school weeks.
The DfE said last week that it was “unacceptable” for schools to reduce their weeks after Fulbourn Primary School, in Cambridgeshire, announced the move to make “significant savings in a tough financial climate”.
The department’s response suggests ministers are now taking a much tougher tone on schools that are looking to close early.
Analysis from Schools Week in March found that at least 26 schools, most of them in Birmingham, have made, or are considering, changes to their timetable in order to cut costs.
At the time, the department said any changes to the school day need to be “reasonable”, with parents “adequately consulted”.

LONDON (REUTERS) - Manchester United dominated Europe's transfer activity as the transfer deadline window slammed shut on Monday, manager Louis van Gaal taking his summer spending spree to more than 150 million pounds (S$311 million).
The former Netherlands coach, without a Premier League win this season and hammered 4-0 by third tier MK Dons in a League Cup match last week, signed versatile Ajax midfielder Daley Blind for 14 million pounds.
They also agreed a 6 million pound season-long loan deal with Monaco for Colombian striker Radamel Falcao.
"It is a real honour to sign for Manchester United," Blind was quoted as saying on the United website (www.manutd.com), which confirmed the fee and said the 24-year-old had signed a four-year deal.
"I have been at Ajax since I was seven years old and I will always have very fond memories of the club and of my time there. "Louis van Gaal is a tremendously talented coach. I have worked with him at Ajax and also for the Netherlands national team and I cannot wait to work with him at the biggest club in the world."
Van Gaal said: "I am delighted Daley has signed. He is a very intelligent and versatile footballer. "Daley is a great reader of the game, he has played under my philosophy over a number of years and he will be a great addition to the team."
Last week, United broke the British transfer record in signing Angel Di Maria for 59.7 million pounds from Real Madrid. Monday's activities ended United's summer dealings which started in June with the 29 million pound capture of midfielder Ander Herrera from Athletic Bilbao.
One player leaving United on Monday was Mexico striker Javier Hernandez who joined Real Madrid on a season-long loan after spending four years at the club, scoring 37 times in 102 Premier League appearances.
Most of Europe's top sides had done their big money deals before deadline day but a host of clubs took advantage of the frenzy that usually accompanies the end of the window.
Hull City broke their club record fee in completing the signing of 24-year-old Uruguay striker Abel Hernandez from Italian club Palermo on a three-year deal, with the option of a fourth year.
The exact fee was not revealed, but Hull confirmed it was more than the 7 million pounds paid to Tottenham for Jake Livermore in June.
Hull also landed two midfielders on loan - Mohamed Diame from West Ham United and Gaston Ramirez from Southampton.
Crystal Palace's new manager Neil Warnock took Scottish international James McArthur from Championship (second tier) side Wigan Athletic on a three-year deal, shortly after snapping up Tottenham reserve defender Zeki Fryers. "Thanks Wigan for an amazing four years. They will always have a place in my heart but time for a new chapter with Crystal Palace," McArthur said on Twitter.
Newly-promoted Queens Park Rangers, whose manager Harry Redknapp is known for his extensive deadline day dealings, signed Brazilian international Sandro from Tottenham for an undisclosed fee.
The 25-year-old midfielder agreed a three-year deal, according to the QPR website (www.qpr.com).
Redknapp, who signed Sandro four years ago during his spell as manager at White Hart Lane, was delighted. "Sandro's a proper footballer and a top class professional. He's an absolutely fantastic signing for us," Redknapp said. "He brings energy, aggression, power and quality. They call him the Beast. He's not only a top quality footballer, but a fantastic boy as well. He'll lead by example for us."
Sandro admitted Redknapp played a key role in his decision to move across London from White Hart Lane. "I like new challenges and this is one I'm really looking forward to. Working with Harry again, who I share a great relationship with, is very special to me," he said.
Tottenham, under new manager Mauricio Pochettino, were also active in acquiring former France under-21 international midfielder Benjamin Stambouli and loaning Lewis Holtby to Hamburg SV.
Manchester City, big spenders in the past, released England defender Micah Richards to Serie A Fiorentina on loan. "Now there are no more doubts. The wait is over," the Italian side announced on their website (www.fiorentina.it).
They also let 29-year-old Spanish striker Alvaro Negredo, signed from Seville last year for 16.4 million pounds, leave on loan to Valencia.
Sunderland signed 26-year-old Argentine playmaker Ricky Alvarez, capped seven times for his country, from Inter Milan and Uruguay international defender Sebastian Coates from Liverpool on season-long loans.
Netherlands midfielder Marco van Ginkel, 21, left Chelsea to join AC Milan for the season on loan. He follows Fernando Torres out of Stamford Bridge, the Spanish striker joining the Italians on a two-year loan on Sunday.

President Trump issued an Executive Order (EO) on May 11, covering cybersecurity for federal networks and critical infrastructure. The cybersecurity guidance for federal networks is particularly important for fashion and technology companies that have submitted information to the federal government â€” for intellectual property protection, grants, or even government contracts â€” that is not yet publicly available. The EO directs all agencies to use the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework for cybersecurity risk management. NIST initially developed the Framework in collaboration with industry in 2014 as a way to provide businesses of varying sizes with guidelines to manage cybersecurity risk.
The EO provides guidance for the private sector, directing DHS and the Department of Commerceâ€” in consultation with the Attorney General, Federal Trade Commission Chair, and other agency headsâ€” to â€śimprove the resilience of the internet and communications ecosystemâ€ť and â€śdramaticallyâ€ť reduce cyber threats. The Presidentâ€™s statement on the EO specifically mentions convening private sector stakeholders to address â€śInternet of Things (IoT) cybersecurity challenges, starting with denial of service attacks perpetrated by IoT devices.â€ť
The EO also includes a section on the value of the cybersecurity workforce, directing several agency heads to make recommendations on increasing the cybersecurity workforce in both the public and private sectors.
The Cybersecurity Executive Order is available here.

Antibiotics were first discovered when Alexander Fleming noticed mold (Penicillium notatum) inhibiting the growth of bacteria. Pharmaceutical antibiotics were later developed but most have harmful side effects. The overprescription and misuse of pharmaceutical antibiotics have led to many bacteria developing antibiotic resistance. Fortunately, there are many naturally occurring antibiotics with few side effects.
Elias Anderson, one of the owners of Going Green, said representatives from HempMedsPx approached him after Krenzler published the lab’s findings on his blog. “They were like, ‘What are we gonna do about it?’” Anderson recalled, “And I was like, ‘Nothing. We have standards, and I stand behind my test results.’” Still, the company’s representatives were insistent and advised Anderson to have Kenzler take down the lab’s findings. In an email to the New Republic, Hard, the Medical Marijuana, Inc. spokesman, contended that the sample of hemp oil that Going Green Labs tested had been “tampered with” by a competitor after Krenzler obtained it. “HempMedsPX, if anything, told the lab they cannot publish results from products [for which] they had no chain of custody tracked,” Hard said, “and if they did—that could prove to be very bad for the lab.” He also characterized Krenzler and Anderson as “haters” of Medical Marijuana, Inc., and suggested that much of the criticism of the company and its products comes from commercial competitors.
Even as the research proceeds, thousands of people are using CBD as medicine. A British pharmaceutical company, GW Pharma, has developed two CBD drugs: Sativex, which contains a 1-to-1 ratio of CBD and THC, and Epidiolex, which is pure CBD. The former is prescribed for the painful muscle spasms that occur in multiple sclerosis, while the latter is aimed at childhood seizures. Sativex is not available in the United States, but it is approved in 29 other countries, including Canada, England and Israel.
This may seem like a repeat of an earlier question, but while that question related to concentration of CBD in the product, this is simply a question of how much you’re getting in total. Most bottles are labeled in a similar way – “1,000mg CBD Oil” or “1,000mg Hemp Extract” – which generally means the entire bottle contains a total of 1,000mg of CBD.
Cannabidiol, also known as CBD oil, is one of the fastest growing – in popularity – health supplements in America. The industry is exploding because people are learning about the beneficial properties of the substance. The government doesn’t regulate CBD oil for sale like it regulates pharmaceutical products, so it is understandable that some may be concerned about finding legitimate CBD oil, or hemp oil for sale.

CBD could potentially be as effective for pain relief as an opioid, but without the potential for deadly addiction. Dr. Solomon shared a self-report study he conducted at UC Berkeley last year, which tracked patients that were using opioids for pain relief. When subjects tried using cannabis in lieu of opioids, the majority "reported that cannabis provided relief on par with their other medications, but without the unwanted side effects." He noted that more research needs to be done, but all signs point to pain relief—which would lead to fewer opioid-related deaths.
CBD Oil, derived from agricultural hemp, has been widely recognized for its many benefits on human health. It has grown in popularity amongst the medical community as a key supplement for maintaining homeostasis. Because CBD oil has the ability to talk to nearly every organ system in the body via the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) this plant-based nutrient plays a key role in optimizing balance and enhancing quality of life.
If CBD-dominant products alone are not enough to treat a particular case, products with a higher ratio of THC are sometimes recommended to better manage pain. For day use, more stimulating, sativa varieties with higher concentrations of myrcene could be added to the formula. In general, for pain, and especially for evening and nighttime, indica strains are favored for their relaxing, sedative effect. A person without experience with THC should use caution and titrate slowly up to higher doses. Research as well as patient feedback have indicated that, in general, a ratio of 4:1 CBD:THC is the most effective for both neuropathic and inflammatory pain. Each individual is different, however—for some, a 1:1 ratio of CBD:THC can be more effective, and others prefer a high-THC strain when it can be tolerated. Each patient’s tolerance and sensitivity will differ, and through titration the correct strain and ratio combination can be found.
Yet the DEA has stated unequivocally that it considers CBD to be illegal under the Controlled Substances Act. “CBD derived from the cannabis plant is controlled under Schedule I of the CSA because it is a naturally occurring constituent of marijuana,” Joseph Rannazzisi, the deputy assistant administrator of the DEA, told a congressional panel in June. “While there is ongoing research into a potential medical use of CBD, at this time, CBD has no currently accepted medical use in the USA.” Moreover, DEA spokesman Eduardo Chavez told the New Republic that Medical Marijuana, Inc.’s in-house opinion with regards to CBD has no merit. “The bottom line,” Chavez said, “is the oil is part of the marijuana plant, and the marijuana plant is currently a Schedule I controlled substance under federal law.”
The CBD medical oil industry is exploding. In fact, experts estimate it will be as profitable as the $13 billion National Football League. Cannabidiol (better known as CBD), a compound found in the Cannabis sativa L. plant species, offers a host of health benefits. For instance, CBD oil reportedly reduces pain, inflammation, seizures, and brings about balance within our bodies. However, unlike the compound tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD has no psychoactive properties whatsoever.
CBD is a safe, long-term aid which is why it has gained such momentum and why our customers are turning to it for relief. CBD, scientifically known as cannabidiol, is a non-psychoactive, organic compound found in the hemp plant. When it interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, CBD provides powerful health benefits without the side effects of conventional drugs.
This terrific (and tasty) CBD Oil Herbal Spray Tincture from Herbal Renewals comes in a variety of flavors, including original, vanilla, and peppermint, and contains added sweeteners to make them even more enjoyable. It’s an ultra-popular product with many people who use CBD on a daily basis. It’s also a portable and discreet option if you’re looking to use CBD on the go.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring cannabinoid constituent of cannabis. It was discovered in 1940 and initially thought not to be pharmaceutically active. It is one of at least 113 cannabinoids identified in hemp plants, accounting for up to 40% of the plant's extract. As of 2018 in the United States, Food and Drug Administration approval of cannabidiol as a prescription drug called Epidiolex for medical uses has been limited to two rare forms of childhood epilepsy.
The arrival of Epidiolex is unlikely to erase the unregulated CBD market, however. For one, Epidiolex has been studied only in connection with a small number of epileptic conditions. If and when Epidiolex makes its way to drug stores, it will be approved only for the treatment of Dravet Syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, two rare forms of catastrophic epilepsy. People like me, with comparatively mild Janz Syndrome, and people like Harper, with extremely rare conditions like CDKL5, may still be out of luck.

Hemp oil cold pressed from hemp seeds grown in Canada. This hemp oil is also from an industrial hemp variety of Cannabis sativa which doesn’t require herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers. Hemp oil is considered to be very nutritious with an ideal profile of omega 3 and 6, but the main purpose for it being in our blend is to have a base oil to emulsify the hemp extract into.
So Mechoulam called the Israeli national police and scored five kilos of confiscated Lebanese hashish. He and his research group isolated—and in some cases also synthesized—an array of substances, which he injected separately into rhesus monkeys. Only one had any observable effect. “Normally the rhesus monkey is quite an aggressive individual,” he says. But when injected with this compound, the monkeys became emphatically calm. “Sedated, I would say,” he recalls with a chuckle.
Several studies conducted between 2004 and 2008 demonstrated the variable effect of different cannabinoids on sleep. In one, 15 mg of THC appeared to have sedative properties, while 15 mg of CBD appeared to have alerting properties. Another tested the effects of CBD on animal models in both lights-on and lights-off environments and found that this non-psychoactive cannabis compound increased alertness with the lights on and had no discernable effects on lights-off sleep. The study’s authors concluded that CBD might actually hold therapeutic promise for those with somnolence, or excessive daytime sleepiness from a not-so-good night’s rest. Another study found CBD to be wake-inducing for most subjects, though some reported better sleep a few hours after taking it.
"Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia.
A CNN program that featured Charlotte's Web cannabis in 2013 brought increased attention to the use of CBD in the treatment of seizure disorders. Since then, 16 states have passed laws to allow the use of CBD products (not exceeding a specified concentration of THC) for the treatment of certain medical conditions. This is in addition to the 30 states that have passed comprehensive medical cannabis laws, which allow for the use of cannabis products with no restrictions on THC content. Of these 30 states, eight have legalized the use and sale of cannabis products without requirement for a doctor's recommendation.
Could cannabidiol help prevent tumors and other cancers before they grow? A 2012 study showed that animals treated with CBD were significantly less likely to develop colon cancer after being induced with carcinogens in a laboratory. Several studies had already shown that THC prevents tumors and reduces them, including one in 1996 on animal models that found that it decreased the incidence of both benign and hepatic adenoma tumors. In 2015, scientists analyzed the medical records of over eighty-four thousand male patients in California and found that those who used cannabis, but not tobacco, had a rate of bladder cancer that was 45 percent below the norm. Topical products can be used to treat and prevent skin cancers. Continuing research is focused on the best ratio of CBD to THC and the most effective dose level in cancer prevention and treatment.
When pain is localized, topical products can be applied. These can be made using CBD-dominant cannabis as well as THC strains. Topicals affect the cells near application and through several layers of tissue but do not cross the blood-brain barrier and are, therefore, not psychoactive. These may be available as CBD oils, ointments, salves, or other forms, and with varying ratios of CBD and THC (a ratio of 1:1 is often recommended as ideal for skin application). The skin has the highest amount and concentration of CB2 receptors in the body.
Raise your hand if you’re a victim of that afternoon slump that can happen between 2 and 5 p.m. If so, you’re not alone. (insert fact about how many people experience this, circadian rhythm, symptoms of this etc). Taking CBD oil can actually improve brain function, boosting memory and neural pathways involved in thought navigation. This can result in better mental clarity and ability to focus, which comes in handy during those particularly sleepy times of day at work.
Always start with the micro dose to test sensitivity and go up as needed within the dosing range, before going to the next, until symptoms subside. The micro to standard dose is usually recommended to treat stress and anxiety with CBD. For relief of immediate symptoms, as in a panic or anxiety attack, vaporizing or smoking work well. The medication lasts one to three hours, whereas most ingested products, including CBD oil, take thirty to sixty minutes before taking effect and last six to eight hours. Vaporizers that use a cartridge filled with the CO2 concentrate are highly effective, and these are available in various ratios of CBD to THC. Herbal vaporizers that use the whole plant are also an effective delivery method. Sublingual sprays or tinctures taken as liquid drops take effect quickly and last longer than inhaled products.
Cannabinoid therapy is connected to the part of the biological matrix where body and brain meet. Since CBD (cannabidiol) and other compounds in cannabis are so similar to the chemicals created by our own bodies, they are integrated better than many synthetic drugs. According to Bradley E. Alger, a leading scientist in the study of endocannabinoids with a PhD from Harvard in experimental psychology, “With complex actions in our immune system, nervous system, and virtually all of the body’s organs, the endocannabinoids are literally a bridge between body and mind. By understanding this system, we begin to see a mechanism that could connect brain activity and states of physical health and disease.”
Cannabis has been used medicinally for centuries, as a sleep aid, a pain and nausea reducer, to relieve anxiety and other mood problems. In the mid-1960s, scientists identified the first cannabinoid. Since then, scientists have gone on to identify more than 80 individual cannabinoids and continue to investigate them for their potential symptom-relieving and disease-fighting abilities.

And now, onto the thorny issue of legality. The simple answer to the question is yes – if it is extracted from hemp. The 2014 Farm Bill established guidelines for growing hemp in the U.S. legally. This so-called “industrial hemp” refers to both hemp and hemp products which come from cannabis plants with less than 0.3 percent THC and are grown by a state-licensed farmer.
At Denver’s LivWell, which has an enormous indoor growing operation, workers remove marijuana leaves before the buds are trimmed, keeping the plants destined for medical use separate from those for recreational use. After Colorado legalized marijuana, thousands of young people from all over the world flocked to the state to participate in the multimillion-dollar business phenomenon that’s been called the Green Rush.
Mike, what kind of breast cancer (invasive ductal, I presume)? How many of her lymph nodes were positive? How big was the primary tumor? Reason I ask is that in women with Stage I or IIA tumors that are estrogen-and progesterone-receptor-positive and HER2-negative (ER+/PR+/HER2-) with three or fewer positive lymph nodes, there is a genomic assay test on a sample of the tumor, called OncotypeDX, that will tell doctors whether chemo is necessary or would even work at all. Medicare covers that test 100%.That type of breast cancer mentioned above, which I had as Stage IA, is treated in postmenopausal women with anti-estrogen drugs called aromatase inhibitors(aka AIs: anastrazole, letrozole, or exemestane)which have as a side effect joint pain. CBD oil is effective for this joint pain it is not, I repeat, NOT a substitute for chemo, radiation or these anti-estrogen drugs.So don’t assume your mom’s cancer will require chemo; but if it does, CBD helps with those side effects as well. If she lives in a state where medical marijuana is legal, there are doctors who sub-specialize in certifying applications for a medical marijuana card, and in the interim before the card is issued can advise as to the appropriate dose of CBD oil (legal and over-the-counter in all 50 states). Some (though not most) medical oncologists will certify their own patients’ medical marijuana card applications so she need not seek out another doctor; and will advise the appropriate dose for her symptoms. Once she gets her card, the “budtenders” in the licensed dispensaries can advise her as to the right CBD product (with or without THC), strength, and dosage. If she lives in a state where recreational weed is legal, the “budtenders” in the marijuana shops can steer her to the right strength of CBD oil and the right dosage.

As part of efforts in consolidating on it’s stronger Delta Agenda and to finish strong, the state government has signed a shareholders agreement with Adventium Global Delta Consortium Limited, a subsidiary of Adventium Global Incorporation, USA, for the transformation of the Songhai Delta Farm at Amukpe in Sapele Local Government Area into an Agro-Industrial Processing, Tourism and Training Park.
The Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Chief Patrick Ukah, who signed on behalf of the state government, stated that the signing of the agreement between the government and the consortium was a testament of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa’s vision for creating jobs for the teaming youths in the state and diversifying the state’s revenue base from over reliance in crude oil revenue.
The SSG commended members of the committee set up to drive the process as they were able to deliver on the set goals within the stipulated time.
He called on the management team of the consortium to ensure that they keep to the terms of the shareholders agreement to achieve the goals of the Public Private Partnership arrangement with the state government.
Earlier, the Chief Operating Officer of the firm, Mr. Simeon Asaboro, speaking on behalf of the Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Adventium Global Delta Consortium Limited, Mr. Isaac Oghogho, said their investment in Songhai Delta was under a Public Private Partnership agreement where the consortium will inject US$40m (forty million Dollars) into the project, bring technical partners and manage the transformation of the farm.
He equally stated that the project will have socio-economic and developmental impact on the state such as creating jobs for the teeming unemployed and under-employed youths and women in the state, ensure the development of several communities across the state where raw materials (crops and livestock) shall be produced and bred on a large-scale commercial basis to feed the processing plants at the Songhai Delta Farm.
He added that the project will also generate revenue for the state, promote the tourism potentials in the state and project the investment opportunities in Delta State to the world.
Mr. Oghogho thanked the state government for giving the consortium the opportunity to partner with the state and assured that all the terms of the agreement will be met.

UWS townhouse purchase breaks barrier
$14M is highest price paid for an UWS townhouse not located on Central Park block
In the recent news flurry of record-breaking condominium and co-op sales, attention seemed to be drawn away from another notable purchase that quietly hit public records in late April. The price paid for the Upper West Side townhouse located at 137 West 74th Street doesn’t directly compare to the hefty amount exchanged for these other record-breaking purchases, but it does mark the highest price paid for an Upper West Side townhouse that isn’t located on a Central Park block.
David Kornmeier, a vice president and director at Brown Harris Stevens, brokered the April 18 sale of the townhouse, which is located between Columbus and Amsterdam avenues, for $14.15 million. It beat a 2008 record set by the sale of 333 West 88th Street, a townhouse located between West End Avenue and Riverside Drive, which traded for $11.25 million.
“The biggest numbers were always on park blocks,” Kornmeier said. “Now the Upper West Side is starting to get big uniform sales prices across the board.”
The Asking Price For The 74th Street townhouse was $16 million and was originally listed by Mike Sieger, an associate broker and senior vice president of the townhouse division at Fenwick Keats Real Estate, in November 2010, according to Streeteasy.com. The owner brought in Kornmeier for the co-exclusive in March 2011, with Kornmeier making the sale, though Sieger told The Real Deal that he negotiated the final price paid. Kornmeier declined to comment on the buyer, but the name listed in the deed is Steven Berzin, who appears to be the former executive vice president of the New York City Economic Development Corporation.
According to the listing, the townhouse has a garden, seven restored fireplaces, an elevator that spans its five stories and white Calcutta marble flooring. Kornmeier said the townhouse was not finished when he began marketing it — the previous owners had gutted the interior to make it a single-family home from a 10-unit building. He said the home has a total of 8,000 above-grade square feet, plus a finished basement. The previous owner envisioned five bedrooms and a maid’s room, but because the home is still not completely finished, Kornmeier said he couldn’t comment on Berzin’s intentions for the number of bedrooms and bathrooms.
As The Real Deal previously reported, the record for a free-standing mansion on the Upper West Side (as opposed to a townhouse) was set in 2007 when Helen LaKelly Hunt, daughter of oil tycoon H.L. Hunt, bought 352 Riverside Drive for $15.75 million.
