The chairman of the Supreme Council of Judiciary will now head the special court tasked with overseeing trials of the president rather than the chairman of the Supreme Constitutional Court.
The Constituent Assembly discussed on Monday articles in the draft constitution related to the president and decided on the change in Article 155. Members also voted to make the rest of the special tribunals composed of deputy chairmen of courts rather than chairmen.
A proposal to change Article 153 from allowing the president to call for a nationwide referendum on “important matters” to “matters threatening national security” was turned down by most members and the article remains unchanged.
The assembly also specified that the prime minister or any of the cabinet ministers could not have a second nationality that they gained through naturalisation, but kept it so that those who have a second nationality by birth are eligible so far as they give up that nationality.
The draft constitution will also now specify the exact number of judges in the Supreme Constitutional Court, which the assembly members agreed would be 11.
The court will also only have pre-emptive constitutional oversight over election and political participation bills and will not be able to rule any of these laws constitutional after they are signed into law.
With the assembly done with finalising the system of governance in the draft constitution, it is now almost done with the entire draft and will get ready to put it to referendum, despite 21 members resigning over the past week.

waking up this sunday morning; a sunday morning, in some ways, like every one that has come before. outside a silver disc of sun presses through steely clouds; fine-grained snow pelts the trees standing tall in the 2-degree air.
for those generations of humankind walking the earth today, this sunday morning has no precedent.
we go about our morning routine: breakfast, dishes; we get dressed and ready for the day. though, of course, we won’t be going anywhere. there are countless things that could be done, should be done:
endless chores, bills, taxes. knitting, reading, baking, weaving. arts & crafts projects. board games.
and yet it’s hard to focus on anything, the looming spectre of pandemic demanding attention. i check the news far too often with the hope of finding a glimmer of hope, yet knowing that is weeks away (at best). the feelings take root:
discomfort, agitation, anxiety. restlessness, uncertainty, isolation. dis-ease: the root of what is causing all this turmoil.
a feeling of powerlessness, of knowing we just have to wait this out. of fearing the worst yet hoping for the best. of taking things one day at a time, when life as we have always known it grinds to a halt.
lemon yogurt bundt cake makes one 10-C bundt cake and 6 cupcakes
I do, still, take comfort in the kitchen: cooking, baking, measuring, stirring. I made this bee cake on a spring-like day a couple of weeks back, when the world seemed more normal and the changing seasons apparent. the recipe is adapted from david frenkiel & luis vindahl’s shattered blueberry and yogurt cake recipe in “green kitchen at home” — a cookbook a highly recommend for its innovative vegetarian cuisine, from breakfast delights to creative lunches, great snacks and delicious desserts. the nordicware honeycomb bundt pan is such fun to use, and the little combs pull apart easily for a just-the-right-size bite of sweet.
thank you for reading, and sending thoughts of health and happiness to everyone.
230 g oat flour
228 g almond flour
2 tsp baking powder (for high-elevation >5000′, use 1 tsp)
1 tsp sea salt
zest of 1 lemon
200 g butter, at room temperature
1 1/3 C real maple syrup
2 C full-fat plain yogurt
6 eggs, separated
1 t vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 350F (for high elevation > 5000′, preheat to 365F).
Grease your bundt pan *generously* (very generously!) with melted butter using a pastry brush, and sprinkle with oat flour. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, sea salt, and lemon zest. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the eggs whites until they hold a soft peak. Scoop the egg whites into a separate bowl.
Swap out the whisk attachment in your mixer for the paddle attachment.
Cream the butter on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes.)
Turn the mixer off, add the yogurt and eggs yolks and stir on low then medium speed until well-mixed.
Turn the mixer off, add the maple syrup and vanilla extract, and stir on low then medium speed until well-combined. Note that if your eggs, yogurt, and syrup are cold, the mixture might look chunky as the butter chills back down. This is okay and won’t affect the final cake.
Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in two batches, stirring on low speed until well-incorporated.
Remove the mixing bowl from the stand mixer and fold in the egg whites in two batches with a rubber spatula, being sure not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Make sure you don’t overfill as the batter will expand when it bakes and you don’t want it to overflow the pan! You can make cupcakes with the extra batter. I had enough for six cupcakes in addition to the bundt.
Bake until golden brown and a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 25-30 minutes for cupcakes and 40-60 minutes for the bundt cake, depending on the pan depth.
Let the bundt cool for 10 minutes, then invert it onto a wire cooling rack to finish cooling completely.
Sprinkle the cake with powdered sugar if desired. Enjoy!

One Fat Cat
This is my fifth book and probably the easiest to illustrate with only three characters to design - a fat cat and two identical mice! This is a first story play for very young children to read enjoy. It is full of bright colours and humorous expressions that compliment a lovely story.
How Long Did it Take to Draw?
The pages were to be kept very bold and simple because the book is for a very young age group. I can draw and paint really quickly so it took me about two and a half months from start to finish. 'One Fat Cat' is one of my favourite characters because he is so fat and gormless! Cats are one of my all time favourite animals.
Now available as a jigsaw book.

This video is so important. In this Murfreesboro, Tennessee video, constituents of Rep. Black (R-TN) speak clearly and directly to their congresswoman who wants to repeal the ACA. Speaking directly to Members of Congress is important. The tone we use is also incredibly important.
This women speaks in a clear way, from the heart, and in her own words. A great example for each of us as we respectfully fight for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in our own way. This constituent asks why, “as a Christian,” she would want to see the poor lose coverage.
Seems like a reasonable question, doesn’t it?

The airline industry has racked up a collective net loss of almost $220bn (£180bn) since the Covid pandemic began, according to recent research.
Analysis published today by analytics firm Cirium shows that revenues for the world’s airline groups went down by more than 50 per cent in 2020, ending 2021 still 40 per cent below pre-pandemic levels.
Despite several carriers – including British Airways’ owner IAG or Lufthansa – returning to black in the past few months, the overall industry is expected to post another loss for the whole of 2022.
“If losses so far this year aren’t substantially added to, that would leave the airline industry with the overall net loss of nearly $220bn since the start of 2020,” said Cirium’s chief executive Jeremy Bowen.
Carriers such as Easyet were also hampered by disruption and compensation costs for this summer’s travel chaos, as thousands of people saw their journeys halted due to inadequate levels of staffing.
The disruption witnessed over the past few months has also been at the centre of ongoing rows between airports and their carrier customers, with each side blaming the other for the delays and cancellations.
Nevertheless, Bowen remains positive as he said the industry could break even in the second half of this year, “if we assume that there are no further shocks to the industry.”
European airline groups could be leading the way as traffic within western Europe has surged to 95 per cent of 2019 levels.
Commenting on the data, aviation professor Francesco Ragni told City A.M. the industry was not “out of the woods” yet, as “with the current socio-economical climate (inflation, recession, etc…) demand is likely to remain highly volatile, slowing down a full recovery.”

Robert G. Moeller powerfully conveys the complicated story of how West Germans recast the recent past after the Second World War. He rejects earlier characterizations of a postwar West Germany dominated by attitudes of "forgetting" or silence about the Nazi past. He instead demonstrates the "selective remembering" that took place among West Germans during the postwar years: in particular, they remembered crimes committed against Germans, crimes that—according to some contemporary accounts—were comparable to the crimes of Germans against Jews. Moeller draws on a wide range of U.S. and German government documents, political debates, film archives, letters, oral histories, and newspaper accounts.

At IBC2019, Videon will showcase its award-winning EdgeCaster edge compute encoder. Videon’s EdgeCaster is the industry’s first HTTP CMAF streaming encoder that includes multiple-bit-rate outputs in support of ultra low-latency streaming solutions for broadcast, pro AV and prosumer applications — at an industry-leading price point.
Videon’s EdgeCaster product is at the forefront of edge computing. The EdgeCaster enables 4K HEVC and H.264 encoded signals as part of an HLS, DASH and CMAF workflow, while simultaneously creating six different encoded output versions. By performing these functions that are traditionally carried out in the Cloud, EdgeCaster enables faster-than-broadcast latency while also reducing the cost of streaming.
The key to the EdgeCaster’s management of time-laden, expensive Cloud functions such as transcoding, format repackaging, multiple-bit-rate creation and other computationally intensive processes is Videon’s intellectual property developed using Qualcomm technology. With the processing power of the SnapDragon chip, the EdgeCaster streams at resolutions up to 4K at 30 FPS using either H.264 or H.265/HEVC compression. The EdgeCaster can also output up to six streams simultaneously, in multiple bit rates and resolutions, using chunked HLS or DASH and still offer the flexibility to take advantage of power over ethernet (PoE).
As an AWS Elemental Technology Partner, Videon’s EdgeCaster interfaces directly to MediaStore and Cloudfront, enabling less than three seconds of latency, in scale, over public internet connections using standard HTTP-compatible applications for playback. As a result, EdgeCaster users can easily launch and scale up services — including live, interactive services and other delay-sensitive applications.
In addition to HTTP-based streaming, the EdgeCaster can simultaneously support two additional low-latency formats. Videon’s support for SRT on both encode and decode allows users to stream from building to building or across campuses while achieving latency of less than half a second. EdgeCaster’s robust feature set ensures maximum flexibility by touting three low-latency options ranging from worldwide in three seconds, one second interactive and less than a second for unparalleled point-to-point streaming.

Paris Hilton and Jenna Jameson have been contacted about starring in a new reality show currently in production called "Virgin Territory", a show with the tag line "when you win it, you lose it". The producers are currently holding open auditions to participate on the show and are looking for males between 18-34 with “no experience necessary.” TMZ says:
Ironically, it's being brought to TV by the purveyor of Paris' sex tape, Kevin Blatt, who predicts that even more people will watch "Territory" than "One Night in Paris," Hilton's infamous night-visioned romp. To help stock his TV larder, Blatt will be unveiling giant billboards in Times Square and Los Angeles; soliciting actual, live virgins in those cities. "Finding virgins in NYC or Los Angeles is no easy task," says Blatt.
So, wait, are Paris and Jenna actually gonna fuck this dude? The winner gets to fuck Paris Hilton? Sounds more like a threat. And Jesus, if the winner gets lethal std's, what are they doing to the losers. Are they released into the woods with a one hour head start before the hunt begins or does the floor just open up and they're dropped into lava or maybe a shark tank like in that Bond movie. If that's the case, I'm pretty sure this will be the greatest show of all time. Although seemingly illegal.

Sneed B. Collard III’s Most Fun Book Ever About Lizards
“Sneed B. Collard III’s Most Fun Book Ever About Lizards is highly recommended and will greatly appeal to young naturalists.”
Sneed B. Collard III’s Most Fun Book Ever About Lizards is a welcome addition to nonfiction resources for curious kids.
This 48-page book includes a glossary and index plus chapters that explore how the average “Joe Lizard” lives, eats, and reproduces.
One chapter is devoted to the Stars of the Lizard World such as the 10-foot Komodo Dragons or Oros that can weigh over 300 pounds, and the poisonous Gila Monsters of the American Southwest.
Another chapter discusses the Lizard Olympians, where the reader learns about basilisks who can run on their hind legs across water as well as geckos with special loose skin that allows them to glide from tree to tree.
There is a section devoted to Keeping Lizards As Pets that explains why the author believes this is generally not a good idea; Mr. Collard also points out the requirements of those creatures that are kept in captivity.
A good balance is maintained between text and illustration. The text is kid-friendly and conveys lots of information in an easily accessible style while serving
up generous doses of humor. There are excellent captions and factoid boxes to highlight especially interesting details.
The amazing color photographs, some taken by the author, reveal details not only
about the animal but about its habitat as well.
Sneed B. Collard III’s Most Fun Book Ever About Lizards is highly recommended and will greatly appeal to young naturalists.

The Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information (Privacy Rule) sets forth, for the first time, a set of national standards for the protection of certain health information.
HIPPA was created primarily to modernize the flow of healthcare information, stipulate how Personally Identifiable Information maintained by the healthcare and healthcare insurance industries should be protected from fraud and theft, and address limitations on healthcare insurance coverage.
The HIPAA act consists of five titles:
- Title I protects health insurance coverage for workers and their families when they change or lose their jobs.
- Title II requires the establishment of national standards for electronic health care transactions and national identifiers for providers, health insurance plans, and employers.
- Title III sets guidelines for pre-tax medical spending accounts.
- Title IV sets guidelines for group health plans.
- Title V governs company-owned life insurance policies.
HIPAA does the following:
- Provides the ability to transfer and continue health insurance coverage for millions of American workers and their families when they change or lose their jobs;
- Reduces health care fraud and abuse;
- Mandates industry-wide standards for health care information on electronic billing and other processes; and
- Requires the protection and confidential handling of protected health information

Among the many longest powering debates between men try practical question out of regardless of if straight people and you will women1 can actually ever become “just” relatives – in other words, normally a friendship exists instead sexual otherwise personal appeal “ruining” the connection.
A recent post within the Scientific American drew the conclusion that no, zero it would not, based on a set of degree of 88 lovers inside combined-gender platonic dating. The latest results about research found that – amongst people – a man partners throughout the relationship was indeed a lot more attending end up being attracted to the women than vice-versa which this new people would overestimate the degree of destination your female believed for them.
Now, arguments you may and also started produced regarding the article’s interpretation from the info (and this differs from the fresh said function of the naughtydate login analysis), how the analysis are held, the potential issues with the newest sample pond or perhaps the mathematical conclusions that is certainly removed out of a 1 section difference in estimated quantities of interest (with the a great 9-point level). I am not saying planning to try to wrangle into the analysis, however, there are factors which i grabbed trouble with.
To begin with: the point that the man is generally drawn to a lady – or believe that she is keen on him – automatically disqualifies a friendship means that sooner it’s his and you can merely his have a look at that describes “simply family unit members”dos
For another, the theory that simply are interested in anybody means that new dating is not “just” a friendship deal the fresh new implication there is a magical isolating range anywhere between close or intimate attraction and friendship.
Is People Getting “Just” Relatives?
In spite of the addiction to the concept one to men’s room libidos somehow build her or him not able to get along with someone they come across attractive, In my opinion that not only is also group become “just” platonic family unit members… it’s the addiction to the question that is the state.
What makes It Nevertheless A concern?
It is an attractive material, rife having stereotypes and you may joking-but-not-very stereotypes on the anyone and you will flirting the theory one to their purportedly platonic friend is largely harboring a secret smash on the both you and whether or not this is a good or crappy topic to own the relationship.

Element of exactly what keeps the subject live is the method in which pop-culture generally seems to prosper on idea that below people platonic mixed-intercourse relationship bubbles good simmering make from mad libido and you can sublimated romantic ambitions merely waiting to boil more and you can bring about most of the types of juicy crisis.

One of the biggest hurdles some couples face when divorcing is what to do with the family home. A house is often one of the major assets that you and your spouse share and handling your mortgage correctly in a divorce can help you and your spouse avoid financial missteps.
Sell the House Outright
Usually selling the house is the best option, especially if you have built up some equity allowing you to get a fresh start after the sale using your half of the profits. Although it is sometimes difficult to walk away from a home that you may have raised children in or have fond memories of, selling a home and splitting the profit is the cleanest way to deal with a mortgage.
One Spouse Refinances
Sometimes, one spouse may want to keep the home and, hopefully, has the means to refinance the property in their own name. The alternative is trusting that your spouse will make timely payments because both you and your spouse will remain fully liable for the mortgage payment each month. If your spouse misses a payment, or if something happens to them, such as disability or death, you will still be accountable for the payments and also keep in mind that having your name on the mortgage may make it difficult for you to qualify for another mortgage or even to rent a place of your own.
When the Timing is Not Right
In the age of upside down mortgages and the costs of getting a place ready for the market, selling your home at the time of your divorce might not be a feasible option. In this case you might want to consider a short sale, where a mortgage lender agrees to accept less than the full value of the property and cancel the debt. Just consider that such a move could negatively impact your credit and may have tax implications, so weigh the option carefully before finalizing any deals.
Rent the Property
Finally, if the time is not right to sell and you and your spouse can work together, you may want to either rent the property to a third party or even consider remaining together until the time is right. Renting the property or ‘toughing it out’ as roomies for a period of time can help you to build more equity and perhaps realize an improved market so that you can sell the house more easily.

Using confocal microscopy, intense mGlu4 immunoreactivity was observed in the soma and dendrites of neurons neighboring the intercalated cell clusters in the mouse amygdala, adjacent to mGlu1a-positive GABAergic projection neurons. A moderate staining was also observed within the basolateral complex, and in particular, the lateral amygdala, whereas the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) was mostly devoid of specific staining (a, b). Photopharmacology was used to investigate the regulatory role of amygdala mGlu4 receptors on sensory and emotional behaviors associated with persistent inflammatory pain. To this end, we used a small diffusible photoswitchable positive allosteric modulator of mGlu4 named optogluram that allows optical control of endogenous mGlu4 in vivo (c). Ligands and light were directly applied in the amygdala of freely behaving mice through stereotaxically implanted hybrid optic and fluid cannulas (d). Through optical control of mGlu4, sensory and emotional behaviors were rapidly and reversibly inhibited, as exemplified here by allodynia (e). BA, basal amygdale; CeA, central amygdala; LA, lateral amygdala; mITCd, medial dorsal intercalated cell cluster; mITCv, medial ventral ITC.

Women's Golf Headlines


Peter Crouch was one of many ex-England international who believed in Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane when he went on a barren run in front of goal at the start of the tournament. Kane didn’t score any goal in the three group games played by his team. Without an in-form Kane, England struggled to find the back of the net. The Three Lions scored twice in three games but still managed to finish Group D as winners with seven points from the maximum nine points thereby setting up a last 16 clash with old foes Germany.
Ahead of the round of 16 clash with Germany, Peter Crouch told the Daily Mail that England will beat the Germans and that Kane will break his deadlock against the three-time champions and he was proved right on both fronts. Ex-Liverpool, Southampton and Stoke City striker Peter Crouch was right with his two predictions.
Just as Peter Crouch predicted, England beat Germany 2-0 with late goals from Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane. Sterling and Kane scored in the last quarter of the game to see off the Germans and secure a quarterfinal clash with Ukraine. Manchester City star Sterling broke the deadlock off the assist from left-back Luke Shaw before Kane scored his first goal of the tournament to clinch the game for his team off the assist from substitute Jack Grealish.
Spurs striker Kane added two goals to the one scored against the Germans when England and Ukraine met in Rome to decide who will face Denmark in the last four. He scored the first and third goals in the 4-0 win over the Ukrainians. Manchester United defender Harry Maguire and Liverpool skipper scored the other goals with the latter coming on as a second half substitute for West Ham United star Declan Rice.
Kane scored his fourth goal of the tournament with the winning strike in the 2-1 victory over Denmark in the semi-finals. He needs two more goals in the final clash with Italy this weekend to win the Golden Boot in what would be a remarkable achievement for him considering that all his goals have been in the knockout stage.

This linear bearing has four tubes that are filled with a number of bbs. The bearing has a cap that is held on with two screws.
I have now included the 6mm and 8mm versions of the bearing
External mounting is performed with zip ties passed around the decorative ribs on the bearing.
I designed this as a replacement for the Lm8uu 8mm linear bearing.
These bearings are louder than a standard bearing. It is important to note that using steel with copper is not the best solution. Steel shot are a better solution, but not as easy as bbs to get ahold of. besides........
These bearings only cost 35 cents to make. Including the copper bbs.
Bring Your Own BBs
1/4" Circulator version added.
6mm which uses 1.77mm copper bbs or steel shot
8mm which uses 1.77mm copper bbs or steel shot
1/4" which uses 1.77mm copper bbs or steel shot
You can use either 1.77 mm bbs or find some 1.77 steel shot and make your own bearing. The bulk of the bearing is due to 3d printer limitations concerning walls.
I suggest printing at .2 layer height.
For ABS plastic, I suggest that you glue the bearing together with some Acetpaste. (Acetone and melted abs).
I prefer PLA for this bearing, as the strength adds to the life of the part.
P.S. Out of everything I've built, I really think that this part is the most useful.

A photo taken in the back of my car , I had to take the Musket to work with me since I picked it up at the shop on my way in. I bought one of those "solder on Harper's Ferry" repro sights from S&S firearms. I've done way more reading about 1816 conversions than I'd ever have thought...... Numerous rear sights were used, when they were used, by the countless machine shops who converted 1816's in the 1850s. Whether they received rifling or not seemed irrelevant to whether they were sighted. It seemed more relevant whether the shop had sights and they just used them to satisfy the contract. 1855 style rear sights, H&P type sights, "Long Range" sights like the ones used on 1842 conversions were applied. Some were dovetailed and screwed on, many were simply soldered. Since the facing of the sight didn't seem to matter and large batches were done with "backwards " 1855/1861 type leaf sights, and soldered on Long Range sights were applied based on, I guess, whichever way the shop worker applied them.... I didn't give the gunsmith direction on which way to apply it, just where I wanted it. He put it on backwards which is kinda what I wanted anyway, to give it some character and give it that "small shop conversion " feel to it. The range graduations on the sight don't matter since it's a smoothbore so I'm just using the lowest sight setting to help point the musket anyway. I love how it looks, in my opinion the sight completes this Pedersoli conversion musket and gives it a little more historical accuracy. There might not have been conversions done with this exact type of sight and the Colt drum conversion but it's a repro, I'm willing to work with what I have and if its "Historically Possible " then it's good enough for me. I need to try those Nessler balls through this now.

One of South The united states’s top summer destinations will remain shut to foreign tourists this summer. Uruguay, home to luxury beach resort Punta del Este, will retain international borders closed this summer, President Luis Lacalle Pou said late Thursday. The country, which boasts the lowest Covid infection and mortality rates in South The united states, will opt to give protection to its public health gains over the economy as Covid-19 rages in neighboring Argentina and Brazil. Uruguay has recorded just 2,701 virus cases and 53 deaths. “It’s the first time in history the country will have a summer season with its international borders closed,” Tourism Minister German Cardoso told reporters Friday. The government will announce incentives next week to foment domestic tourism, he said.
The decision will intent foregoing a remarkable influx of cash for an economy expected to contract 4.2% this year. Uruguay’s tourism industry, which depends heavily on the summer season in the Southern Hemisphere between December and February, accounted for 7% of GDP in 2019, according to government data. Approximately 3.2 million visitors entered the country from in a foreign country final year, with 69% of that from Argentina and Brazil. Tourists spent almost $1.8 billion in 2019. Uruguay’s decision to retain non-resident tourists in a foreign country might also widen its balance-of-payments hole and put pressure on the peso, according to TPCG strategist Victoria Faynbloch. The peso, which has missing 12.5% against the United States dollar this year, closed nearly unchanged at 42.66 per dollar on Friday. Wealthy Argentines in specific have flocked to Punta del Este for decades and own a large number of property dotting the coastline.
To make certain, even supposing borders were opened, the economic crisis hitting Argentina and the slump in the Brazilian real likely would have kept most middle-income visitors in their home countries besides. Uruguay is a pricey destination because its currency is heavily overvalued as opposed to its neighbors, says Ignacio Munyo, executive director at native think tank Ceres. That leaves Uruguay’s struggling hotels and restaurants hoping that the 2.2 million Uruguayans who spent $1.2 billion on international go back and forth final year, will opt to vacation at home instead of risking a brush with Covid in Europe or North The united states. The kind of 500,000 Uruguayan expatriates who visit Uruguay once a year could be another band-aid. Citizens and foreigners with Uruguayan residency can still enter the country. Under normal circumstances, many Uruguayans would also be crossing borders to spend their summer vacations in Argentina and Brazil where their money goes a lot further, Munyo said. “The price of closed borders is compensated in part by domestic tourism,” he said. “It’s going to be one of the crucial best domestic tourism seasons in a very long time.”

Cannabis users curb their habit with online program
AN ONLINE drug cessation program developed in Australia has been found effective in helping heavy cannabis users to cut down their use of the drug.
Outcomes were compared for around 140 cannabis users who completed online either the Reduce Your Use program or a sham equivalent over three months.
“Those in the control group studied topics such as ‘cannabis and the law’ and ‘cannabis and driving’ which may not really spur you on to quit,” said Dr Sally Rooke (PhD), from the National Cannabis Prevention and Information Centre (NCPIC), a federal health department funded initiative based in Sydney.
“Both groups significantly reduced their cannabis frequency and the quantity [used] but overall the findings were better for the experimental group.
“We had about twice as much abstinence in the experimental group compared to the controls.”
Cannabis use dropped from an average of 20

1,000 Dogs and Cats Spayed and Neutered on Maui in Nine Days
By Maui Now Staff
More than 1,050 dogs and cats were spayed and neutered for free at the inaugural M*A*S*H clinics hosted by the Maui Humane Society in June.
The clinics are part of a concentrated effort to reduce pet overpopulation.
During the recent clinics, veterinarians and vet techs from different parts of the US volunteered their time to assist in the sterilization clinics conducted over a period of nine days.
In addition to the free health service, every dog and cat also received a free microchip, vaccine and county license. MHS representatives say the value of these services start at $300 and can go up to more than $800 depending on the pet’s size and other factors.
Due to the success of the first M*A*S*H clinics, a second-round of clinics are scheduled for dogs on Aug. 24 and cats on Sept. 28, 2015.
Pet owners are encouraged to make an appointment now to spay or neuter their pets for free by calling the Maui Humane Society.
Maui Humane Society worked with Animal Balance to bring the pet sterilization clinics to the island and extended thanks the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Maui and other animal advocates in helping promote the M*A*S*H clinics.
For more information about Maui Humane Society, to adopt a pet, volunteer and for a list of upcoming events, call the Maui Humane Society at (808) 877-3680 or visit the Maui Humane Society online.
In an earlier announcement, MHS representatives said they plan to hold these M*A*S*H style clinics for cats several times per year, for the next five years. MHS also plans to hold dog clinics on a quarterly basis.

Another benefit of green tea it’s is lower in caffeine than most other teas, so you may be able to drink the five cups a day that lowered psychological stress in a large group of Japanese people in a recent study done at Sendai’s Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine. The researchers didn’t identify any particular component of green tea that might have been soothing, but animal studies suggest that one compound, EGCC, had both sedative and hypnotic effects that tamp down the body’s production of stress chemicals.

In fact, there is no hard evidence backing the claims made by tea companies that their detox teas actually purify human cells. However, high-quality teas can help support the body’s natural daily process of detoxification—just as much as other foods and drinks can hurt this system, says Laura Lagano, R.D., a New Jersey-based holistic nutritionist. (Discover more about the health benefits of teas such as chamomile, rosehip, or black tea.)
The best Matcha Green Tea comes from the first flush, baby green tea leaves that grow during the spring. Only the newest buds of the shade grown tea plants are hand-picked for Premium Matcha production. The window for ideal Matcha Green Tea growth is very limited, which is one of the reasons that Matcha is one of the more expensive teas on the market.
Green tea is a longtime treasure of China and Japan that is gaining popularity in America. It’s easy to understand why: the best green tea leaves are heated or steamed right after harvest, preserving their all-natural flavor and resulting in a nourishing beverage containing antioxidants. With about half the caffeine of black tea, you get the health benefits of green tea in every gentle cup. You can buy green teas in either loose-leaf or green tea bags.
Studies in laboratory animals have found that green tea polyphenols inhibit the growth of esophageal cancer cells (in line with its anti-cancer properties). Other clinical studies have found that green tea offers protection against the development of esophageal cancer, particularly among women. However, one large-scale population-based clinical study found just the opposite: drinking green tea was associated with an increased risk of esophageal cancer, and the stronger and hotter the tea, the greater the risk. It seems that if the water is very hot, it can damage the esophagus and lead to long-term adverse consequences. So just make sure the tea you drink isn’t extremely hot.
It’s become such a fashionable beverage that, last summer, the New York Post ran a story about how Victoria’s Secret models were flocking to Cha Cha Matcha, a hipster spot fluent in the preparation of various matcha-based miracle potions. A search for where to get “matcha” in New York, New York on Yelp yielded some 1400 plus results. Even mass market coffee purveyors like Starbucks have made matcha their mantra, with a vast range of offerings to cash in on the craze.
As everyday impurities find their way into our bodies, we may be left feeling tired or out of balance. Yogi DeTox tea combines time-honored cleansing herbs Burdock and Dandelion with Juniper Berry and an Ayurvedic blend called “trikatu” (Ginger, Black Pepper and Long Pepper), traditionally used to support digestion and circulation. Indian Sarsaparilla, Licorice, Cinnamon, Cardamom and Clove round out this delicious blend for a perfectly spiced tea. As part of an overall wellness program, Yogi DeTox tea helps bring healthy balance from within.*
Green, black, brown and now, red! No, these aren’t just some colors on the palette of your paint box. They are hues in the world of tea. The latest addiction and addition to the list being the 'red' tea, all the way from South Africa. We are talking about the Rooibos tea. What makes Rooibos tea so popular is the fact that it is known to have 50% more antioxidants than those found in green tea. Rooibos is obtained from Aspalathus Linearis, a shrub native to the Cape of Good Hope.

Rutile is a mineral composed primarily of titanium dioxide, though natural rutile may contain about ten percent iron and small amounts of niobium and tantalum. Generally of deep red color, rutile is also found in hues of reddish brown, pale yellow, pale blue, violet, and grass-green.
The most use of rutile is in the manufacture of refractory ceramic, as a pigment in paints, paper, foods, and for the production of titanium metal. Rutile is widely used as a welding electrode covering.
The World Map of Rutile Producers shows a list of the countries that produce large quantities of rutile. As the data in the map shows, Australia leads the world in the production of rutile; in 2010, the country produced 2.8 million metric tonnes of rulite.
The second-largest rulite producer in the world is South Africa with an annual production of 1.3 million metric tonnes.
Sierra Leone ranks third in the annual production of rutile. Other important countries producing rutile are: Ukraine, India, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Brazil, and Mozambique.
Rutile is also widely both to preserve fruits and vegetables and to remove pollution.

Release Blitz ~ An Unexpected Love by J. Haney
An Unexpected Love
by J. Haney
Adult Contemporary Romance
Ten years ago tragedy struck Kyler, leaving her pregnant and alone.
She did what she had to do to survive.
But that's all she was doing. That is until he crashed into her life.
Caleb Hudson was always destined to be the playboy and never settle down.
Walking into the studio that day, he wasn't expecting to find her.
Fate decided she had another plan for them.
When they both least expected it, a bond between them was formed.
The bond that may end up saving their lives.
Thirty minutes later we hear a knock at the door Mrs. Ryan yells up that she will get it. I figured it’s just our Chinese being delivered. I'm setting the plastic on the floor so we can start painting after we eat. Just as I finished setting everything up I hear Mrs. Ryan screams out. I ran to my bedroom to grab my phone and the gun they made me keep beside my bed. I hid myself in the closet as I called Mr. Ryan, on the second ring I heard him answer.
"Hey, how are my girls doing?" He sounded happy
"Someone's here, I'm in the closet with my gun like you told me to do. I heard a scream! What do I do?" I rambled nervously.
"Calm down Kyler... I am calling the Police in Arco. I know your father taught you to shoot. So you go downstairs and if you think you need to shoot, then intruder then that is what you do." He sounds a bit nervous.
"Okay, I got it." I say then hang up the phone.
Sneaking down the stairs, I see a man is holding Mrs. Ryan against the wall. Mrs. Ryan makes eye contact with and I hold up one finger to see how many people are in the house. “YOU AND ME ARE THE ONLY ONES HERE ASSHOLE! LET ME GO NOW!” She screams and I just nod at her. The intruder slams her head against the wall again. I tiptoe into the rest of the way down and sneak up behind them. I place my gun to the back of his head.
“The guns loaded and the cops are on their way. Now let Mrs. Ryan go or I will shoot you before they get here.” I say as calmly as possible.
“I don’t think you will actually shoot me.” He sounds extremely pissed off.
“I am going to give you to the count of three then I will shoot this gun!” I wait a moment to see if he will let her go. Damn it, he is going to call my bluff! “One… Two… Thr”. He let go of Mrs. Ryan before I got three out. “Now turn around.”
The man slowly turns to look at me and tries to take the gun out of my hand. While fighting for the gun I can feel a pain starting in my stomach, oh no it’s too soon. Damn it Ky you know better than this. With one hand on the gun I knee the man in the nuts and steal the gun back away from him. I back away quickly and when the man starts to come at us I pull the trigger.

Make Room for Miu Miu in Your Fragrance Wardrobe; the MTA Gets a Makeover; and More
The rumor mill has been swirling, but the powers that be at Coty and Prada Group finally confirmed that Miu Miu is set to launch a fragrance line in 2015. The question that remains: What will it smell like? Will it be a girly classic with a dark twist? Something both cat ladies and the fashion set will appreciate (like the coats in the Spring 2014 collection)? Will there be a hint of patent leather to represent the Mary Janes that appear on the runway season after season? Whatever it is, we can’t wait.
Along with the news of Blake Lively joining the L’Oréal Paris family, the beauty brand announced that it inked a deal with a far less glamorous partner—New York’s MTA. Launching today at the Bryant Park subway station, you’ll find a computerized vending machine that scans your ensemble and chooses colors based upon what you’re wearing. Who knew public transportation could be so discerning? [The Cut]
Allure.com caught up with menswear model Elliott Sailors—a blond bombshell who traded bathing suits, for, well, just suits. Her androgynous look does cause confusion at some castings, but her Boardwalk Empire-inspired cropped cut has made her more “approachable.” She told the glossy: “Before, as a tall blond girl in Manhattan, people sort of put me in a box and thought, I know what those girls are like. And now they’re coming up to me and having conversations, posing questions.” Joining the boys’ club has its perks.

By Clara Doty Bates.
One sunny day, in the early spring,
Before a bluebird dared to sing,
Cloaked and furred as in winter weather,--
Seal-brown hat and cardinal feather,--
Forth with a piping song,
Went Gold-Locks "after flowers."
"Tired of waiting so long,"
Said this little girl of ours.
She searched the bare brown meadow over,
And found not even a leaf of clover;
Nor where the sod was chill and wet
Could she spy one tint of violet;
But where the brooklet ran
A noisy swollen billow,
She picked in her little hand
A branch of pussie-willow.
She shouted out, in a happy way,
At the catkins' fur, so soft and gray;
She smoothed them down with loving pats,
And called them her little pussie-cats.
She played at scratch and bite;
She played at feeding cream;
And when she went to bed that night,
Gold-Locks dreamed a dream.
Curled in a little cosy heap,
Under the bed-clothes, fast asleep,
She heard, although she scarce knew how,
A score of voices "M-e-o-w! m-e-o-w!"
And right before her bed,
Upon a branching tree,
Were kittens, and kittens, and kittens,
As thick as they could be.
Maltese, yellow, and black as ink;
White, with both ears lined with pink;
Striped, like a royal tiger's skin;
Yet all were hollow-eyed, and thin;
And each one wailed aloud,
Once, and twice, and thrice:
"We are the willow-pussies;
O, where are the willow-mice!"
Meanwhile, outside, through branch and bough,
The March wind wailed, "M-e-o-w! m-e-o-w!"
'Twas dark, and yet Gold-Locks awoke,
And softly to her mother spoke:
"If they were fed, mamma,
It would be very nice;
But I hope the willow-pussies
Won't find the willow-mice!"
Where have you been?
Gathering roses to give to the queen.

Last March I went through a personal "re-branding" when I changed the name of my blog (and corresponding social media accounts) to Write. Run. Mum.
At the time I really felt like it was the right decision. That having the same moniker for all my online endeavours was really just good marketing. Especially if I was going to try and turn my blog into something more than just an online diary for my family and friends to read and maybe (one day) make some money from it.
Also - I really hoped the new title would help me focus on those three very important areas in my life. And for a while it worked...I guess.
But to be totally honest...it never felt right. I'm not exactly sure why that is. I suspect it's because I made the change for the wrong reasons. It wasn't a decision I made with my heart. I was trying to force this change on myself in the hopes that it would help me change my life.
And really I think it's done the opposite. I feel like the new identity has turned me into a bit of a fraud. Well 2 thirds of a fraud at least because the Mum part was always true.
I know I won't ever monetize my blog...that was never really my intention anyways. I don't want to write reviews or do giveaways. I don't care about the number of people that follow me on social media or even read my posts for that matter.
You know...I have been thinking about making this change for months and kept wavering. But I have been finding myself more and more blocked in a creative sense. Handcuffed by the expectation I set on myself that I have to write about writing. Or running. Or parenting. And when I didn't have anything to say on those subjects...I didn't have anything to say at all.
And then today - I found this quote in my Facebook feed. From the author of Writing Down the Bones. From the author whose book helped me find my written voice.
And I just knew this was the right time. So - it is with a renewed sense of self - and a strong conviction that I am going back to my original identity.
I write for me. And for my girls. I write to give me an outlet and a
release. And I always endeavour to ensure I am Writing Down the Bones.
And at heart...I am still my Poppa's little Kelsey Bar.
Welcome back blog...


Ruger 10/22 Reflex Red Dot?
I just got this rifle a week or two ago, it's the first gun I've gotten where I want to put optics on it, and as such, I'm totally clueless.
Can anyone make some recommendations for a reflex red dot sight to put on this thing? I plan on getting a quad rail for it for mounting.
I know aimpoint, eotech, are the best, but I can't imagine it's necessary to spend that much money for a sight for a .22 rifle.
I'll be refreshing this page every 5 minutes looking for a response - mainly because I really want to order this quad rail but can't justify it without having a sight to put on it

“Let me and you sing one more song. In the End of Souls, time continues to march forth. I will head toward a new journey, but you’ll always remain in the flames of youth, left in that curtain of fiery red.” – Guo Jingming
Tiny Times is not only China’s most profitable franchise, but it also has one of the best and biggest original soundtracks. The first three films so far have 19 original songs. It’s also one of the few Chinese films with good, original English songs.
The latest addition is A-mei‘s theme to the finale, Tiny Times 4: Soul’s End. t The singer’s reported to have cried while recording this song. Listen to all the songs from the series in the playlist below.
Each film has at least two theme songs by big name artists like Sodagreen, Zhou Bichang, Jolin Tsai, Wu Yifan, and now A-mei. In addition, since the first two films had eeMedia as a main investor, they had an OST with many eeMedia artists like Yu Kewei, Wei Chen, Liu Xin, and Fu Mengni. The rest of the OST is mostly done by the less famous but much more fun team of Singaporean musician Terry Tye Lee (who produced many songs for M.I.C. boyband and Vanness Wu), featuring artists like Julia Wu and Gao Kaiwei. What’s your favorite song?
Finally, a male timetraveller! I thought those became extinct in 2011 when Gong and BBJX came out.
For all my love of female leads, it’s kind of exciting to finally get a male protagonist in a timetravelling internet novel adaptation, partly because all the female leads used their knowledge to juggle princes rather than the world. Croton Media (Boss & Me) and Juxin Media is set to adapt Braveness of the Ming 锦衣夜行, and has released its concept posters today, announcing its cast of Zhang Han, Park Min-young (City Hunter), Jones Xu Zhengxi, and Wei Qianxiang. Zhang Han would’ve been my top choice for this role, the rest of the cast is pretty, and Croton has never failed me yet, so I’m definitely psyched.
Brighten your Monday up with a fun tune from Aarif Rahman, a cute family zoo song from Fan Weiqi, a powerful rock ballad from A-mei, songs of friendship from RTA Xu Hao X Zhu Yuanbing, Ma Haisheng and M.I.C.‘s Tan Jianci.
A-mei sets fire to the patriarchy in her epic song and MV Matriarchy 母系社會
As the person who started the whole release-a-character-poster-a-day game, Guo Jingming can always be counted on with more gorgeous photoshoots than you can imagine (seriously, the musical had better photoshoots than most dramas). Tiny Times 4: Soul’s End 灵魂尽头 released yet another photoshoot of its male cast of Chen Xuedong, Vivian Dawon, Ren Youming, Lee Hyunjae, and Jiang Chao, this time with shirts on (occasionally).
P.S. Did you know the first two Tiny Times are free on Hulu and Netflix? The fourth is expected to air in theaters in North America. Continue reading →
Fan Bingbing looks like she walked out of a fairytale in this Machesa Spring 2015 dress with Chopard jewels for the Cannes Film Festival. Every time you think she’s reached the peak of her gorgeousness, she ups it. Continue reading →
Garfield in a spiffy new grey outfit steals the show.
Zheng Shuang, Hawick Lau, and Li Dongxue‘s Republican drama Cage of Lovebegins airing on May 26th, and has released the ending and opening themes and respective MV’s. As the Dream Stardom Film and TV Culture Co.’s second project following Perfect Couple 金玉满堂, I expect the first half to be hilarious and adorable, and the second half to be depressing. See you in the first half!
This Monday we bring a bubblegum pop song from cutie Li Yifeng, a disconcerting piece from Laure Shang, a cheerful (?!) break-up song from M.I.C.’s Zhao Yongxin, a comfort food rnb song from Liu Sihan, and a flashback to the past from rap artist Jony J.
A catchy jingle from Li Yifeng to ward off the Monday tiredness:
Look at this face and tell me why he has no good lead roles yet.
Now that my previous actor bias Yang Yang has finally made it, Chen Xiang is probably replacing him. Not only is he so pretty, but he really makes every role spark (even BuBuJingQing, which even A-list actors fail to make interesting). His latest role in Whirlwind Girlwith Yang Yang is yet another completely different role, an aloof heir with revenge and love on his agenda. More prettiness below the cut. Continue reading →

Oldham Council has now distributed more than £45 million in cash grants to support businesses across the borough impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
Over 4,000 businesses have benefitted from the Small Business and Retail, Leisure and Hospitality business grants scheme to date.
It means 91% of eligible businesses have now received grants thanks to the efforts of our key workers.
In addition to the £45.790 million in cash grants, the council has also distributed £2.5 million in discretionary business grants to 261 companies.
But the discretionary fund – which was launched to help certain businesses who found they did not meet the criteria of the Small Business and Retail, Leisure and Hospitality grants scheme – is oversubscribed.
Cllr Abdul Jabbar, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Finance and Green, said: “We are pleased to have distributed more than £45 million in cash grants and hope it will support Oldham businesses and protect jobs as much as possible.
“However, applications to the discretionary fund are double the amount of funding we have available.
“We continue to call on government to allow the local authority to redistribute surplus funding from the cash grants scheme to struggling local businesses – many of whom are facing uncertain futures.”
The funding milestone comes as Oldham Council launches its ‘Save Oldham’s Services’ campaign – which asks the community to thank our COVID heroes by urging the government to provide fair funding to the council.
Our local services – from carers, to street cleaners, to schools – have spent more money tackling COVID-19, and lost more income, than they have received in compensation from the Government.
We’ve been left with a £20m shortfall in our budget, and now we need government to give us the funding we need to be able to continue to help our residents through these challenging times.
Cllr Jabbar added: “Thank you to all the key workers who have worked tirelessly over the past few months including those who have worked around the clock to process millions of pounds in grants – but we know many businesses and residents continue to struggle.
“We need fair funding from government – so we can continue to distribute financial support to those businesses falling through the cracks and so we can continue to provide vital services to our residents when they need them most. Please support us – so we can support you.”

University of the Basque Country, Spain
Title: Materials characterization by X-ray diffraction techniques
Biography: Aitor Larrañaga Varga
Integrated in the General Research Services of the University of the Basque Country, UPV/EHU, the X-ray Unit, provides the possibility to study single crystals, polycrystalline samples or amorphous materials, under a wide range of conditions. The available equipment enables structural studies starting from diffraction data of polycrystalline materials. This technique allows us to identify the crystalline phases presented in the samples, crystal size estimation, size/strain analysis, particle morphology or structural mean parameters study. The full profile simulation could give us all the structural information, perhaps compositional results and quantitative analysis of materials. In the other hand different equipments and configuration implemented in the service give us the possibility to; make high and low temperature measurements, layer thickness calculations, obtain deepness gradient information, texture analysis, stress measurements, crystal orientation, micro-diffraction, etc. The X-Ray Service supports basic and applied research through scientific and technical advice and the use of a high-performance infrastructure in materials analysis with applications in many areas of knowledge.
