Sea monsters prevented Alexander from building Alexandria. He took a wooden container in which a glass box was inserted, and dived in it to the bottom of the sea. There he drew pictures of the devilish monsters he saw. He then had metal effigies of these animals made and set them up opposite the place where building was going on. When the monsters came out and saw the effigies, they fled. Alexander was thus able to complete the building of Alexandria.
– Ibn Khaldun, Kitab al-‘Ibar
Translated by Franz Rosenthal
This wild tale about the foundation of Alexandria is cited by the 14th-century North African historian Ibn Khaldun as an example of the ludicrous fictions that some earlier historians had filled their histories with but that had no place in the kind of scientific, rational history he set out to write.
The story as Ibn Khaldun relates it seem to go back to a legend in the Alexander Romance, a highly fictionalized account of Alexander the Great’s campaigns, about a large snake that frightened the workers who were building the city of Alexandria on the coast of Egypt until Alexander had the snake caught and killed. Over centuries of retelling, the hunt for one big snake turned into a struggle against terrible sea monsters.
The story of Alexander and the sea monsters is fiction, not history, as Ibn Khaldun rightly points out, but what a story it is! Wood and glass submarines! Ancient kaiju! Tactical deployment of art! How has no one made a movie out of this already?
Serving exactly what it sounds like, the Quotes feature excerpts other people’s thoughts.

John William Waterhouse, R.A., R.I. 1849-1917 British
John William Waterhouse is undoubtedly one of the premier British painters of the later 19th century. Heavily influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite movement, his work is a reflection of his fascination with women and nature as translated through stunning mythological and literary narratives. Waterhouse is known for his fantastic imagery and impeccable ability for capturing emotion within his subjects. His tremendous understanding of symbolism is evident, often portraying beautiful women immersed in nature or in the role of the femme fatale influencing men with an aura of charm and mystery.

In the midst of much anticipation from their worldwide fans, BTS returned with a new album on May 18. The group put on a live performance of their new song “Fake Love” at the Billboard Music Awards (BBMA) – one of the top three music awards shows in the US – and are scheduled to appear on an upcoming episode of NBC’s The Ellen Degeneres Show.
Some of the songs on BTS’s third Korean LP, Love Yourself: Tear, include the album’s title track “Fake Love,” a song featuring Steve Aoki called “The Untold Truth,” and “Airplane Pt. 2” – a continuation of a song titled “Airplane” from J-Hope’s solo mixtape.
The world television premiere for “Fake Love” took place on the 21st (KST) at the 2018 BBMAs in Las Vegas. Billboard hyped up the comeback performance via its official YouTube page on the 15th by uploading a teaser clip that showed a portion of “Fake Love.” For the second year in a row, BTS beat out Justin Bieber and other famous pop stars to take home the award for Top Social Artist.
Along with the awards ceremony, BTS is scheduled to appear on local radio shows and TV programs. The group stopped by Radio Disney on the 17th and will be going on The Ellen Degeneres Show after the BBMAs to give another performance of their new song.
The fans in the US were definitely ready to welcome BTS. Within 24 hours of Love Yourself: Tear becoming available on Amazon for pre-order, it shot to No. 1 on Amazon’s best sellers list for CDs and vinyl. Prior to BTS’s comeback performance, Billboard posted a slew of articles with titles such as “5 Things to Know About BTS’ ‘Love Yourself: Tear’ Album,” “A Full Timeline of BTS in America,” “How to Get Into BTS: A Primer for ARMY Recruits,” and “How BTS Took Over the World: A Timeline of the Group’s Biggest Career Moments.”
BTS will be going on a world tour for their new album which will take the boys to 11 different cities. There are currently 22 shows scheduled to take place in Seoul, US, Canada, UK, Netherlands, Germany, and France. Additional shows are expected to be scheduled in other regions in Asia, Central and South America, and Oceania.
The response of the fans in Korea has been just as enthusiastic. The Love Yourself: Tear album recorded 1.44 million units in pre-order sales in Korea within the first 6 days of its pre-order period. As BTS’s best-selling pre-order release to date, Love Yourself: Tear sold about 400,000 more units in pre-order sales than Love Yourself: Her, which was released in September 2017.
On May 24 at 8:30 p.m., Mnet will be airing the BTS COMEBACK SHOW, which will feature performances of BTS’s new title track “Fake Love” and the other songs from their new album. A special video will also be aired on the show. BTS COMEBACK SHOW was pre-recorded in front of a live audience made up of 750 fans at CJ E&M’s Ilsan studio.

Useful tips for Apple Cinnamon Walnut Butter
This recipe requires one of the narrow-bodied containers, so a 32-oz or a 48-oz. If you’re using a low-profile 64, you’ll need to double the recipe.
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or freeze it for later.
You can use almonds instead of walnuts, but we much prefer walnuts here.
We like it a little bit salty (like salted caramel), but if you don’t, just decrease the salt to 1/4 tsp.
Get yourself some graham crackers, it’s a magical combination.
If you don’t have a Vitamix, you can use a food processor, you’ll just need up to 1/2 oil to get the smooth consistency.
Tari A. -
I just came across this recipe. Since I just got a new A3500 with a low profile 64oz container, I’d need to double the recipe. That’s a lot of walnut butter, so do you know if this or any of the nut butters are freezable? Also I saw a comment asking if they could use the 20oz container, but saw no answer. Can you?
This sounds so delicious.
Excuse me 20 oz cup…
Could I use a personal cup adapter with a 20 cup for this recipe?
We used dried banana chips, half vege oil and half sesame oil. Oh boy it was good.
Lenny Gale -
Yes, absolutely. Thanks for this feedback. I’ll put it in this recipe right now
Hi there! Which container do you use for this recipe?
Lenny Gale -
One of the narrow-bodied containers, so a 32-oz or a 48-oz. If you’re using a low-profile 64, you’ll need to double the recipe
Yep, my exact thoughts lol, since the blades didn’t even touch the butter.. Perhaps it would be useful to see container info on recipes? Just a thought.

The United States government said Friday that even if the indictment of the Megaupload corporation is dismissed, it can continue its indefinite freeze on the corporation’s assets while it awaits the extradition of founder Kim Dotcom and his associates.
Judge Liam O’Grady is weighing a request to dismiss the indictment against Megaupload because (in Megaupload’s view) the federal rules of criminal procedure provide no way to serve notice on corporations with no U.S. address. At a hearing in Alexandria, Virginia, he grilled both attorneys in the case but did not issue a ruling.
O’Grady speculated, with evident sarcasm, that Congress intended to allow foreign corporations like Megaupload to “be able to violate our laws indiscriminately from an island in the South Pacific.”
But Megaupload’s attorney insisted that this may not be too far from the truth. Megaupload, they said, is a Hong Kong corporation with no presence in the United States. He argued it was perfectly reasonable for Megaupload to be subject to the criminal laws of Hong Kong, but not the United States.
For its part, the government suggested that it could sidestep the mailing requirement in one of several ways. For example, it could wait for Kim Dotcom to be extradited to the United States and then mail notice to him, as Megaupload’s representative, at his address in prison. Or, they suggested, the government could send notice of the indictment to Carpathia Hosting, a Virginia company that has leased hundreds of servers to the locker site.
The government also mentioned the possibility that it could use the provisions of a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty to send notice to Megaupload’s Hong Kong address.
But Judge O’Grady seemed skeptical of these argument. He noted that the “plain language” of the law required sending notice to the company’s address in the United States. “You don’t have a location in the United States to mail it to,” he said. “It’s never had an address” in the United States.
And Megaupload pointed out that the government hadn’t produced a single example in which the government had satisfied the rules of criminal procedure using one of the methods it was suggesting in this case. Most of the precedents the government has produced were in civil cases, which have different rules. And most involved serving a corporate parent via its subsidiary. That’s a very different relationship than, for example, the vendor-customer relationship between Megaupload and Carpathia.
The government brought up one new example during the hearing: an instance in which a judge allowed notice to be sent via e-mail to the Columbian guerilla group FARC. But Megaupload’s attorneys dismissed this example as well, pointing out that FARC was not a corporation and that the propriety of that service was never tested in court.
The government also argued that it could keep Megaupload in legal limbo indefinitely. “None of the cases impose a time limit on service,” the government’s attorney told the judge. Therefore, the government believes it can leave the indictment hanging over the company’s head, and keep its assets frozen, indefinitely.
Not only that, but the government believes it can continue to freeze Megaupload’s assets and paralyze its operations even if the judge grants the motion to dismiss. That’s because in the government’s view, the assets are the proceeds of criminal activity and the prosecution against founder Kim Dotcom will still be pending. The fact that the assets are in the name of Megaupload rather than its founder is of no consequence, the government claimed.
Hollywood, at least, seems nervous that Judge O’Grady might buy Megaupload’s argument. In a conference call held Wednesday in advance of today’s hearing, a senior vice president at the Motion Picture Association of America argued that the dismissal of the case against Megaupload would have little practical impact, since the company’s principals would still be facing indictment. And he rejected Kim Dotcom’s efforts to frame the case as a test of internet freedom, describing Dotcom as a “career criminal” who had grown wealthy stealing the work of others.

Ahmedabad: Chairman of BCCI's ground and wicket committee Venkatsundaram on Saturday expressed satisfaction at the pre-season' work being done at the Sardar Patel Stadium in Motera - the venue for first Test match between India and New Zealand, beginning October 8. "We inspected the ground on Saturday and interacted with the groundsman. I am satisfied with the pre-season' work and we hope that it would be a good wicket favourable for good cricket," he told reporters here. "Due to rains, the outfield is also good," he said. The chairman, however, refused to say whether the pitch would favour seamers, spinners or batsmen.
To a question, he said, "It would favour good cricket and it is important that playing conditions are good." When pointed out that India had complained of unfavourable batting pitches being prepared during their tour to New Zealand last year, he asserted, "We are not here to make bad pitches. If that is required, we are not needed. The BCCI has appointed us to make good pitches and ensure favourable playing conditions."
Ruling out doctoring of pitches, he asked, "Would you like to see a match where a team gets out for 100 or 70?" "Ideally, the ball must bounce on the first two days, then it should be favourable for batsmen and it should turn on the last two days," he said. Venkatsundaram also advocated one One-day match about 15 days before the first Test and said, "We can know the condition of the pitch and ground and make sure that it is good."

Embroidered Memories is a folk-art installation and exhibit that features over 750 embroidered Ukrainian Canadian pillows – real ones and photographs, gathered from across Canada. They fill the exhibit space, paying homage to the over 150 artisans who so skillfully expressed their personal and cultural expression with a needle and thread.
For some, these beautiful artifacts evoke a deep, intuitive cultural bond to the Ukrainian homeland and immigrant experience. For others, these podushky represent thousands of hours of detailed stitchery and artistic excellence. Whatever the connection, embroidered podushky have become keepsakes out of respect for our ancestors, as well as the sheer beauty of the craftsmanship.
Inspired by her Master’s Thesis in Ukrainian Folklore, this installation was created by renowned Canadian artist/curator Larisa Sembaliuk Cheladyn. It features pillows collected across Canada from Sidney, BC to Sydney, NS and shares the stories behind these eclectic artifacts, the artists, and the many others who share a clear passionate relationship to these cultural icons.

Day 2 - March 16, 2020
That day was the first day of Open Space Technology (OST) – the mean of gathering that we use throughout the time of the Village. In an Open space there are no predetermined speakers or content; all the participants have the chance to call for conversations about topics or questions that they care about. At the Village, we began by inviting people to speak out the topics they wish to call, after which everybody else chose which conversations they wanted to participate in.
I joined a conversation called by Narayan. The night before, he had posted a few pictures of the Village on Facebook. He wanted to thank a few friends who had not been able to make it here but had been great supporters of the Village. His post received a lot of love and positive comments, but also a critical view – saying that our gathering was “ill-advised and reckless with other people’s health.”
“This feels bigger than me, bigger than I can hold,” Narayan opened the conversation, “so I just want to put it in the center for all of us. Because I imagine others also have this inner conversation: Am I being reckless? Am I being irresponsible?”
At first I was angry when I heard that comment. I ruminated for so long on my decision to come to the Village, it wasn’t a reckless choice. But when sitting with a dozen people in Narayan’s conversation circle, I could step back from my prejudice and listened to different opinions.
“The night before my flight, I was like ‘Should I go? Should I not go?” Lannah shared. “At some moment I decided ‘I don’t want to live in fear, I want to be adventurous. I live my life!’” But then a realization came like “a slap in my face.” “My life is not only mine. It strongly relates to my parents and my loved ones… And what concerns me the most is: what if I come back and I bring the danger to my parents?” In the end she decided that she would try her best to take care of herself during the trip, and self-quarantine once she was home. “And that’s the best solution I can think of… If we avoid taking risks, it means we are not living. So this is my point. I am taking this risk. Because I am living. If I am not, I’d rather die.”
Just like Lannah, I was worried about carrying the disease back to my family, but I also didn’t want to freeze my life because of fear. I tried to protect myself as best as I could – never before had I been so obsessed with washing my hands as in the last few days – and I would self-isolate with my wife once we returned. For us, that was being responsible with public health; maybe the person who commented would disagree, but who’s to say which is right and which is wrong.
Narayan’s post received 18 positive comments, but only the 19th – the critical view – prompted us to be in conversation and distill learnings. “I honor that comment,” Narayan said, “I want to label (the post) not a mistake but as an action that has a consequence.” He said his post could be an incentive for other gatherings without many precautions because “other people are doing it, so let’s do it too.” That night Narayan answered the comment with respect and gratitude. He didn’t want to fuel the flame but only share compassion with the other person. This was just like the story shared in the circle by an Indian friend: India is going through a political unrest. A Gandhian was asked “What can be done in this time of increasing hatred?” The Gandhian replied: “Spread love.”
Day 3 – March 17, 2020
In this place, we were living in a bubble filled with love and laughter. But that bubble was constantly punctured by the chaotic reality outside.
That morning when I awoke, the first thing I read was the “EMERGENCY NOTICE FROM THE VIETNAM MINISTRY OF HEALTH” about the eight flights that had carried Covid-19 carriers. Hastily, I shared that notice with the Village because more than half of the flights had arrived from overseas. Luckily nobody in the Village had been on any of those flights. But that notice once again inflamed the fear in me.
Our foreign friends at the Village continuously received unsettling news. The previous night, Anne-Laure had heard that her country – France – would be going into lockdown for at least a month. Anne-Laure realized that her grandmother would have to be alone for an unknown period of time, and here she was, stuck in Vietnam and not sure how to get home. Meanwhile in Australia the government was requiring everybody who returned from outside the country to self-quarantine for 14 days. This decree forced our Australian friends to reconsider their stays at the Village.
That day, we had more Open Space sessions, but the stream of changes brought turmoil to the Village. At the end of the day we sensed the need to acknowledge and share the turmoils; and so a conversation was called with the question: “What are your thoughts and feelings now regarding the Coronavirus and your participation in the Learning Village?”
I felt so sad for David and Aiko then. At the same time I was thankful that I was in Vietnam, my home country. No matter what, my wife and I could still go home easily, while the homeward road of our foreign friends would probably be filled with obstacles. “I didn’t sleep at all last night, not for one second,” Anne-Laure said, “I’m just in a huge confusion about what to do, where to go, and what is wise.” But not for a moment did she regret her decision to be here. “It is such a privilege to be here together. So yeah, I’m full of love, joy and gratitude for the village, and the people who made it possible.”
After the conversation, we walked to the sea together. At the edge of the water, we stood shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand. From Mohit’s speaker came the song Soham (I Am The Sun):
“I am the sun, warm in your heart
I am the moon, light in the dark
I am the sea, deep in your soul
I am here wherever you go”
Listening to the song, my tears kept falling. I did not know why I was crying, just that there was a deep sadness within me. Under our feet the waves pulled the sand, so we gradually sank. Suddenly a big wave rolled in, splashing all of us. People blurted out surprised screams, and with that laughter came. The tears still fell, no longer from sadness, but rather empathy, connection, and love. The bubble was mended, and just a bit fuller.

The west coast of Canada is a nature lover’s Mecca. Come with Prestige Holidays to explore Knight Inlet, in the heart of beautiful British Columbia, and experience the drama, the serenity, the nature and the wilderness that once seen can never be forgotten.
As one of the premier spots on the planet to view the mighty grizzly bear, Knight Inlet draws nature loving travellers from around the world. This majestic landscape of ragged mountain peaks, temperate rainforests and crystal clear fjords provides the perfect habitat not only for bears, but also a proliferation of other wildlife.
The Wild Wonders of Western Canada
Our “Wild Wonders of Western Canada” tour takes you along the longest fjord in British Columbia to immerse in the expansive natural beauty of the landscape and the iconic wildlife of the region. Your amazing home base for the experience is just the beginning of the adventure…
Knight Inlet Lodge
Nestled into a protected cove, the contemporary floating Knight Inlet Lodge is made up of five separate cement floats, comprising guest rooms plus a lounge, dining room and interpretive centre. With a capacity for fewer than 40 guests, the accommodation is cosy and comfortable, and your experience can be as social or as private as you wish. The star feature though is, of course, the absolutely jaw-dropping views from the lodge’s magnificent forested vantage, tucked into one of the few protected anchorages in the inlet. Inimitable, immersive and absolutely unforgettable – you may never want to leave.
“Prolific wildlife and jaw dropping scenery are your constant companions in your spectacular base at Knight Inlet Lodge.”
Big, Beautiful Bears
Your base at Knight Inlet Lodge in Glendale Cove has been chosen for its astonishing concentration of grizzly bears in the surrounding area. While peak feeding season is in autumn, the spring and summer months also provide plenty of sightings of bears within a 10km radius of the lodge, as they follow the salmon up river and cubs begin to emerge for their first exploration of the world. Depending on the season, you’ll view the bears from the water, by boat and river stands, or from tree stands and platforms. While the focus is on seeing these magnificent animals in their natural habitat, guests’ safety is always paramount.
Marine Wildlife Tours
Compelling though they are, bears aren’t the only wildlife stars of the tour. Again, governed by the time of year, marine wildlife tours of the inlet allow close encounters with dolphins, porpoises, sea lions, seals and minke whales. For those travelling in the latter half of the year, orca and humpback whales join the list of possible sightings as they begin their migration to warmer waters. You’ll also have the opportunity to travel beyond Knight Inlet on an estuary excursion, visit Thompson and Bond Sounds to take in the proliferation of wildlife, and even paddle your own kayak through the inlet in one of the most serene and memorable experiences of the tour.
You can choose the duration of your tour based at Knight Inlet Lodge, between 3-7 days/2-6 nights.
Various departure dates are available in 2018, but please note that the boat viewing season for bears runs between May 21st to August 23rd, and the platform viewing season from August 24th to October 16th.

To communicate that care and care homes are not the end of the road for the residents. The Centre is a melting pot for ideas and innovations that can be rolled out to individual homes nationwide. Everyone plays a part; that’s you, & you, & you, & you.
We developed a brand based around the ‘&’ symbol which is used in various iterations and styles. It’s the common theme that runs through the printed literature or digital marketing. We used fluorescent colours and quirky imagery to play on the fun and innovative nature of the business.

Best Practices for Parker Lord 406 w/ Accelerator 19GB
Remove grease, loose contamination or poorly adhering oxides from metal surfaces. Normal amounts of mill oils and drawing compounds usually do not present a problem in adhesion. Most plastics require a simple cleaning before bonding. Some may require abrading for optimum performance.
Apply adhesive using handheld cartridges or automatic meter/mix/dispense equipment
Handheld Cartridges: Load the cartridge into the applicator gun and remove the end caps.
Level the plungers by expelling a small amount of adhesive to ensure both sides are level.
Attach mixing tip and expel a mixer’s length of adhesive.
Apply adhesive to substrate and mate the parts within the working time of the adhesive. Clamp in position until adhesive reaches handling strength.
Do not re-expose adhesive to air once parts are mated. Mated parts should be repositioned by sliding to achieve proper alignment.
Meter/Mix/Dispense Equipment Contact your LORD representative if assistance is needed using this equipment.
Mix LORD 403, 406 or 410 acrylic adhesive with the proper amount of LORD Accelerator 19 or 19GB. Handheld cartridges will automatically dispense the correct volumetric ratio of each component. Even color distribution visually indicates a thorough mix. Once mixed, the adhesive cures rapidly.
Cure begins immediately once adhesive and accelerator are mixed. Time to handling strength is dependent on adhesive used. Complete cure requires 24 hours at room temperature. Mating surfaces must be held in contact during the entire curing process. Cure rate can be accelerated by applying modest heat [<150°F (<66°C)]. Cured adhesive is colored to visually indicate a full cure
cure color depends on the accelerator used.
Clean equipment and tools prior to the adhesive cure with solvents such as isopropyl alcohol, acetone or methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). Once adhesive is cured, heat the adhesive to 400°F (204°C) or above to soften the adhesive. This allows the parts to be separated and the adhesive to be more easily removed.

Electric buses are to replace natural gas-powered buses in the nation’s capital, starting next year.
Seoul City announced Thursday that it plans to change its bus fleet with 7,427 buses, from compressed natural gas-fueled buses to electric vehicles in the coming decade.
The capital city said, as the initial step, 40 electric buses will replace the corresponding CNG buses in 2018.
The road map is to replace 4,030 more buses by 2025. Seoul City further hopes to change the remaining 3,000 buses from 2026.
An electric bus model with a 300-kilometer range was recently produced, enabling the plan. Previous models, able to run between 100 to 200 kilometers with a single charge, were difficult to utilize for long-distance routes.
City officials are worried that some bus operators might disagree with the new plan. It is to offer a subsidy of 250 million won ($230,000) to the operators for buying a single electric bus, which costs around 500 million won. The operators would have to cover for the remaining 200 million won for each bus.
Previously, with the CNG bus which costs around 200 million won, the government and the operators shared the burden equally, paying 100 million won each. Operators have to pay an extra 100 million won with the new change.
“There is a supplementary burden for the operators. Electric buses, however, do not charge fuel,” a city official said. “Local buses are one of the main reasons for the fine dust in the city. This is a policy to ameliorate the atmosphere and make Seoul better.”

The evolution has been especially dramatic in recent years as pharmacists have moved beyond compounding and dispensing medications to become vital members of multidisciplinary patient-care teams.
courtesy of Bartlett Regional Hospital Pharmacists at Bartlett Regional Hospital play a crucial part in a patient care team.
Hospital and health-system pharmacists have been able to take on enhanced patient-care roles because of a number of factors, including the deployment of highly trained, certified technicians and new technologies like robotics that dispense medications.
As technology evolves, such as the addition of machine-readable codes to medication labels, patients will have greater opportunities to have a pharmacist involved in their care.
Pharmacists who graduate today receive six years of education focused on medication therapy, and many pharmacists practicing in hospitals and health systems also complete post-graduate residency programs.
Pharmacists help make medications work
Today's medications are powerful and complex agents that should be used carefully to ensure a faster recovery and better health. During your stay at Bartlett Regional Hospital the pharmacy staff is here to make sure that you receive the best and safest medications.
Pharmacists in hospitals do more than fill prescriptions. Pharmacists are experts on the thousands of medications available today, how each one works in the body and the ways to use each one safely and effectively. Pharmacists advise doctors and nurses on the best medications to treat your condition. They monitor every patient's medication therapy and provide quality checks to detect and prevent harmful drug interactions, reactions, or mistakes.
The hospital's pharmacists are also available to talk to you about your medications. They can help you understand the appropriate use and intended outcome of your medicine, as well as any possible reactions and side effects. You can also talk to your pharmacist about how to store and take your medication, what foods or activities to avoid, and what to do if you miss a dose.
Here are some tips from the pharmacy department on safe medication use while you are in the hospital:
Bring a list of the prescribed drugs, over-the-counter medications, home remedies, and nutritional supplements that you are currently taking and show it to the health professional(s) managing your care.
Bring a list of medications that you cannot take (due to allergic reactions, etc). Give the reasons why, and show it to the health professional(s) managing your care.
When admitted, feel free to ask for the pharmacist.
Ask the names of the medications that you are receiving during your hospital or health-system visit.
Request any written information that is available about your medications.
Question anything about your medications that you don't understand or that doesn't seem right. Be especially alert to unexpected changes, such as a change in the appearance of your medication.
Ask your health-system pharmacist if you have any questions about the treatments or medications you receive.
If you're too ill to follow these suggestions, ask a friend or relative to help.
Always remember that if you have questions about your medications, just ask. Pharmacists have the answers!

Review: Xogenasys #1
One of my all-time favorite movies is Menace II Society. It’s a film which showed quite a different take on how it is to grow up Black and poor. Right before that movie came out, only a few short months before, Boyz N Da Hood and South Central told different narratives. What set Menace II Society apart from the previous two was not the optimistic conclusion but the redeeming qualities of its antagonist characters. It showed the world that Black people are not monolithic in appearance or narrative.
Life is that much messier and people are even more complicated. When you grow up in poor communities your world is a bit more skewed and grounded in reality than those with advantages. Rarely has this narrative been told in the dystopian genre. In the debut issue of Xogenasys, we find a protagonist whose circumstance is so disparate, life becomes one fight at a time.
We meet Darius Smith. Young men who live in areas like his literally fight for their lives in an online streamed fight. Raised by a single mother he looks to transfer to a different school so that he can be eligible to fight as well. His new school comes with its own set of troubles in the form of an old acquaintance who tries to rope him in illicit activities. By the issue’s end, those activities catch up to Darius but not before an unexpected opportunity shows up and changes his life.
Overall, an excellent debut issue that gives a unique take on a well-traveled genre. The story by by Tre McIntosh and Nickolas Draper-Ivey is excellent. The art by Draper-Ivey is gorgeous. Altogether, a story you will not soon forget.

with texts by May Ayim and Julienne De Muirier
«grew up in germany, i’m travelling», wrote May Ayim in 1983, «away from: being a skin colour, being a nationality, / being a religion, being a party, / being tall, being short, being intelligent, being dumb, / being or not being / on the way to me / on the way to you.» The poet, teacher and activist was an influential voice in the ISD (the Initiative for Black Persons in Germany) which began fighting for equal rights in the 1980s. Close exchanges with the African American feminist Audre Lorde led to the coining of the term «afrodeutsch», which makes clear that African and German identities are not mutually exclusive. In the two volumes of poetry that were published before her early death, May Ayim finds a concise, poetic language with which she processes her experiences of racism and lack of understanding alongside her childhood and her desire for love, her joy and her sadness. She plays with sounds, methods of writing and letters, and yet always finds very clear words for what needs to change in Germany.
The director Miriam Ibrahim will devise the play «blues in black and white» together with the writer Julienne De Muirier, combining Ayim’s poems, letters and essays with her echoes in the present.
«Intersectional racism is part of how we are all socialised but it impacts and shapes us in different ways – as individuals or in communities. May Ayim’s texts and poems have given me the feeling that I’m not alone with these issues, but part of a collective of non-white people in Germany. She describes the finely-woven fabric of different experiences, power relations and processes that an African-German woman encounters in various different living spaces and which cause emotion and hurt. She opened a window onto a black experience in Germany at a very early stage and in doing so paved the way form many others to raise their voices and share their experiences and knowledge. As empowerment or as resistance.» Miriam Ibrahim

Potawatomi Bingo Casino underwrites forum that seeks answers to addiction treatment
Two leading neuroscientists researching stress and addiction in the Marquette University College of Health Sciences, a recovered gambling addict and a psychiatrist specializing in addiction headline the next Marquette Presents forum: “The Tragedy of Addiction: Neuroscientific Perspectives Toward Understanding and Treatment.” The free forum is Tuesday, September 10, at 7:15 a.m. in the third-floor ballroom of the Alumni Memorial Union, 1442 W. Wisconsin Ave., Milwaukee.
“Most people know someone who suffers from addiction, whether it’s substance abuse or dangerously compulsive behaviors,” said Dr. William E. Cullinan, dean of the College of Health Sciences at Marquette University and director of the Integrative Neuroscience Research Center. “These neuroscientists are focused on discovering the neurobiological changes that cause addictive behavior and learning how to provide treatment for this tragic disease.”
Cullinan will moderate the panel of experts in neuroscience and psychiatry. The panel includes:
- Dr. John Mantsch, professor and chair of the Department of Biomedical Sciences in the College of Health Sciences at Marquette University, and co-founder of Promentis Pharmaceuticals Inc. Dr. Mantsch studies the relationship between stress and addiction.
- Dr. Robert Wheeler, assistant professor of biomedical sciences in the College of Health Sciences at Marquette University. Dr. Wheeler studies the neural regulation of emotion and the control it has over behavior.
- Dr. Michael Bohn, psychiatrist at Aurora Behavioral Health Center. Dr. Bohn is board certified in general and addiction psychiatry and was named one of America’s Top Addiction Psychiatrists for 2004-10 by Consumers’ Research Council of America.
- Andrea Rathsack, a recovered gambling addict currently finishing a degree in substance abuse counseling.
Rathsack began her road to recovery after calling the Wisconsin Council on Problem Gambling’s helpline. Potawatomi Bingo Casino, the organization underwriting this forum, is the WCPG’s largest private contributor and helps fund the 24-hour helpline to ensure resources are available at all times.
Marquette Presents is a forum series developed by the College of Health Sciences at Marquette University to focus on issues of community health. Previous forums in the series focused on the topics of depression, sports-related concussion and schizophrenia.
The forum is free and open to the public, and it includes a complimentary continental breakfast. Free parking is also available in the 16th Street parking structure, located between Wisconsin Ave. and Wells Street. Registration is required and available online at muconnect.marquette.edu/addictionforum.
Media interested in attending the event or interviewing the panelists should contact Jesse Lee, senior communication specialist for the College of Health Sciences, at (414) 288-4984 or email@example.com.

because Lopez wasn't able to defend himself and wasn't able to having a hearing and his family wasn't notified either. If the court did not try to stop this it would have affected him and everyone else as well. If you think about it everyone had the right to be heard and the court bringing up that it affected the 14th amendment was a good way to protect the right to a hearing, because using liberty and property (property being education) challenged the court and made a different viewpoint on how the case was projected. Now we’re able to have court ruling for suspensions. which is a good thing and also sinces i'm a student i think it's fair that court hearing is given because without it how would a student be able to defend themselves without anyone to make the decisions if they are right or wrong.
In fact he possibly saved the life of a fellow student by taking action and retrieving the weapon. By using a more complex approach such as case by case punishment students get a chance to save themselves from a bad record for situations that could not be avoided. Few would argue that instead of trying to handle the situation himself the student should have went to a teacher or administrator and he deserved his punishment. But the reality is problems like suicide require immediate action; most suicidal students would not go to an adult about those problems. If students have no wish to bring hurt, harm, or danger to those in the school building then a lesser punishment or none at all is the best
This is a violation of code 8.06 because the nature of the experiment was not clarified beforehand the professor waited until after the students begin rebelling to make a bargain for their grade. The students in the course are all familiar with one another in some way, so he or she is aware of whom the professor is referring to with the statement. Once the students rebelled to the experiment according to code 8.04 the professor should have offered an alternative assignment to prevent withdrawing (American Psychological Association, 2002). However, the professor failed to do so and violated the code previously mentioned. Overall, the professor violated several codes and should consider tips on how to fix
Most schools would suspend both students right away. What if one student in the fight had a good home life, his parents punished him, and he never got suspended again, but maybe the other student’s parents did not care, he would just simply get some time off of school, and continue to act out. If all students were talked to about what they did wrong and punished inside of school, there may be a chance to drop the percentage of kids that get in trouble. Yes, it may not be the school’s responsibility to punish the kid, but if they do not and neither do the parents, then who will? Giving out school suspensions may give the student that needs to be punished the most, time off from school, which is what they would prefer.
Liam claims that they help with concentration but Principal Schwarts says that there is no evidence about fidget spinners helping with concentration, and are disruptive to others. Fidget spinners should not be allowed in classrooms because they distract other students, they can hurt kids, and there is no concrete evidence that they help with concentration. One reason that I believe that fidget spinners should not be allowed at school is because they are disruptive to other students. Quiet fidget spinners can even be distracting. Teachers can even get distracted by these toys.
As a consequence, those students will become careless in the PBS system as they are being double punish for an incident. In another case, there are schools who observe a students academic success in report cards and state testing to determine if the student will participate in activities and/or events regardless if they have the PBS tickets to attend. This system also allows the students to not care about the PBS tickets as it does not benefit them through their
Final exams shouldn’t have to be taken unless the student fails a standardized test or isn’t in good academic standing with that specific class. Other reasons that students shouldn’t have to test are that people don’t test well, the class is over and students will not get an opportunity to correct their mistakes, and in the real-world tests aren’t administered, projects are given. Some teachers and parents insist that their children or students need to take as many tests
Schools should not put tracking chips in student IDs because the chips cost too much money, it violates freedom, and it is not the school’s job to know where the kids are at all times. Parents do not want their children to be spied on by the school for the school’s benefits. For example the Student Resources says, “A lawsuit filed against a Pennsylvania school district that accuses officials of using laptop webcams to spy on students at home is prompting educators across the country to re-examine where protecting school computer property ends and invading student’s privacy begins” (Student Resources 10). This quote shows that parent
Shelley indicates that his teachers also deserve a cut of the blame, as they quickly disregard the principle that highlights responsible mentoring. They were meant to help “educate, mentor, and advise students” (Resnik) such as Victor, but clearly failed to do so. They dismiss his interest in alchemy without explaining why such a study is dangerous or harmful, not only to individuals, but to the whole of the community. At the school, M. Krempe dismisses alchemists as “nonsense” while M. Waldman tells Victor that these studies “promised impossibilities and preformed nothing” (Shelley). Never once did they discuss the dangers, they just spoke of their dislike for the field, and how they found it to be worthless and unhelpful in relation to their studies.
WHY PLAGIARISM IS WRONG Plagiarism is illegal. At a university level of education being found guilty of plagiarism can result in you being strictly punished. Some reasons why plagiarism is considered as unethical: • You deny yourself the opportunity to learn and practice skills that may be needed in your future carriers. You also deny yourself to opportunity to receive honest feedback on how to improve your skills and performance. • You invite future teachers and students to question your integrity and performance in general.
My school does not have an honor code that every student must follow. Certain teachers will include some form of an honor code in their syllabus, but sometimes never enforce it. Teachers at the high school I attend assume that the students are capable of academic integrity. I have seen and experienced other students cheating and never being caught for it. If they were caught, the teacher would simply mention to the student they been caught,
It is frowned upon by many in academic institutions, not just from the faculty but from the students as well. Those who earn their grades honestly feel as if they are not getting the full satisfaction they deserve from working their butts off to get the grade they earned. On every campus cheating is considered breaking a law, which makes it a social standard that everyone needs to follow or else face the consequences. Yet according to the “Cheating College Student Epidemic” article, when an anonymous survey was put up about cheating, 60% of the people who admitted to cheating said that they were never caught. They realized that they did something wrong but yet were never forced to pay the consequence so it just seems like a part of the academic experience to them.
Students like Eve are not receiving the proper education they are required to have to graduate, but they found a loophole in order to receive their diploma without learning anything: participation points. Teachers should limit the weight of participation and effort grades so students stop passing classes when they do not learn anything.
Grading doesn 't define you, don’t let a B- hurt you or affect you because everybody get bad grades every once in awhile. You should care because teachers get to grade them and give them the grade they deserve but they never to speak their opinion when it comes to them. Grading isn’t really a part of school, you go to school to learn not to sit there and be judge on how you are doing your work. You should care because it gives students the freedom to do their work and not be judge or graded with the work that they do. You will never know until you have been graded and you get grounded for a bad grade.
Students that drop out of high school will not be educated about the dangers of crime in the world and will not follow the law. According to the Radio Talk, it says, “they even have a higher likelihood of ending up in jail or on public assistance”. Missy also said, “So, it really is a bad deal for kids.” In the end, this is another reason students should not drop out of high school. Some people drop out of high school because they want to help their families, but when those people grow up and try to get a better job, they will get rejected. This is because it is required to have a high school diploma or a college degree to get certain jobs.

BTS' Suga Shares Update On Surgery Recovery And Talks About Big Hit Labels Concert
Updating fans on his current condition, he shared, “I can’t raise my arm to 90 degrees yet. It feels like it’s not my arm, like it’s the arm of an infant. Since it doesn’t move well it does hurt a bit.” He also said, “I heard it will take about six months [to recover].”
Suga went on to explain more about his recovery process. He said, “I’m continuing to receive rehabilitation treatment. I’m doing various exercises that are within my range of motion. Although it’s getting better, it’s a slow process. As a result, I feel somewhat impatient, but I’m making consistent progress. Since I’m not attending a clinic that forces me to increase my range of motion, I’m only using my shoulder within the range that I can use.”
He then shared his thoughts on whether or not he will be able to attend Big Hit Labels’ year-end concert, 2021 NEW YEAR’S EVE LIVE. “Since my recovery is going well, I’ll probably attend,” he revealed. He continued, “I won’t be able to do [dance] performances,” sharing that he thinks he will take part in other things. He also stated, “I won’t be able to hold a microphone with my left hand since it hasn’t even been two months since my surgery.” Big Hit Entertainment later confirmed to the outlet Newsen that Suga will be participating in the concert while following doctor’s advice by not doing intense choreography and dance performances.
Suga reassured fans that the concert will proceed with caution amidst the ongoing pandemic as he explained, “You might be worrying about this, but they’re taking thorough preventative measures. Not only us, but the staff have to stay healthy as well. Since many artists have joined us this year and other artists will also be in attendance, the event will be proceeding with great care, so don’t worry too much.”
He concluded by sharing his earnest wish as he said, “Since it’s the new year we need to have a fresh start, but it doesn’t feel like the end of the year or the beginning of a new year. I hope the situation will improve as soon as possible.”


A Massive Explosion on the Sun, With the Earth Shown at Scale
On the last day of August at 4:36 in the afternoon EDT, a filament of solar material exploded out of the sun, hurtling into space at more than 900 miles a second. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the eruption in video and photographs and now, to give us a better idea of the scale of this thing (as though understanding it is even possible), NASA has added to the above picture an image of Earth shown at scale.
The ejection of solar plasma did not head directly toward our planet, but even the indirect effects were enough to cause a beautiful aurora on the night of September 3rd. NASA also provided a picture of that phenomenon, as seen from Whitehorse, Yukon, in Canada.
A video from NASA (which we also posted here last week) shows the eruption in action.


Although solar thermal systems are technologically mature and cost effective, they have not yet been sufficiently used in building design to play an adequate role in the reduction of fossil fuel consumption. One main hindrance to adoption is the generally low architectural design quality of the building integration of these thermal systems.
As confirmed by the example of photovoltaics, improvement of the architectural quality of building integrated systems can increase the use of a solar technology even more than price reductions or technical advances. Solar thermal collectors have to be mounted very close to the point of consumption – i.e., on the building itself – which stresses the urgency of the architectural integration issue.
Starting from a definition of architectural integration quality and related criteria, this book is intended to help both architects and manufacturers improve their design work. Architects are given recommendations to optimize integration quality and make the best out of the generally limited flexibility and low formal quality of presently available collectors. Manufacturers, on their side, are offered a set of guidelines for the development of new multifunctional and flexible products conceived from the outset for building integration, thus improving the market offer.

Home for a week from my almost 4 month-long odyssey around the Western United States (with a detour to Canada for the Women’s World Cup), I have begun to sift through the thousands of photos I took along the way. I began just after Easter, walking from my front door to the local bus stop down the street, hopping local transit, intercity bus lines, and Amtrak trains from Wisconsin to Chicago to Denver. Friends in Boulder, Colorado graciously opened their home to me and so kicked off my explorations into the urban, cultural, and natural landscapes along the way.
Denver impressed me with her quirky bookstores, plethora of microbreweries, and cutting-edge museums, while Boulder came across as the laid-back cousin – a mellow retreat of good, hearty food, inventive performing arts (check out the Dairy Center for the Arts for breathtaking aerial dance), and rejuvenating wild spaces in the heart of the city (where fishing Boulder Creek in view of the public library is a daily scene). Amtrak also runs one of its most spectacularly scenic rail lines through the Colorado Rockies, the California Zephyr, winding through remote mountain canyons crowded with wildlife you don’t often see this close from the highway.

The Japanese-born comedian Neko Hiroshi, who changed to Cambodian nationality in order to represent the country at this year’s London Olympics, has been rejected by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) on the grounds that he is not yet eligible. In a letter sent to Pen Vuthy, secretary-general of the Khmer Amateur Athletes Federation (KAAF), the IAAF states that Hiroshi will be allowed to represent the nation at international competitions beginning on Oct. 18th, 2012.
The IAAF, which serves as the world’s ruling body on track and field competitions, put new rules into effect this year that specify athletes with new nationalities are not allowed to represent their adopted country at international competitions until at least one year has passed. The IAAF does have the ability to waive that requirement and grant admission in situations it feels as appropriate, however representatives have said that they feel Neko Hiroshi’s case is not of an exceptional nature, and will not cancel the waiting period.
Hiroshi (real name Kuniaki Takizaki), 34, became a Cambodian citizen late in 2011. In the letter to the Olympic committee requesting that Hiroshi represent Cambodia, it was stated that the runner had been living in the country since 2009, and had never represented Japan as an athlete. It was also shown that Cambodia had no other marathon runners meeting the Olympic qualifications, and that Neko was the best participant to represent the country. The KAAF has stated that they will not try to protest the decision, and will consider sending someone other than Hiroshi.

Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code had big role to play in India's startup culture: Justice SK Kaul
Speaking at the Insolvency Law Academy's inaugural conference on the topic of "Emerging Global Insolvency Horizon: Indian Footprint and Front View", Justice Kaul said India's economy has been growing since the early 1990s, leading to an expansion of the credit market.
New IBC clippers for shorter haircuts
Timely resolution is difficult to achieve with no deadlines applicable on judicial review. The proposed changes to the IBC try to work around this by addressing bottlenecks in admission and information processing.
Centre looking at decriminalising some IBC offences
In a discussion paper floated last week, the ministry of corporate affairs proposed to empower National Company Law Tribunals (NCLTs) and Debt Recovery Tribunals (DRTs) with powers to penalise anyone who violates the IBC. These violations are currently handled by special courts through criminal proceedings.
Proposed IBC changes likely to reverse SC's Vidarbha Industries order
The ministry of corporate affairs on Wednesday proposed that the adjudicating authority must admit an application filed by a financial creditor, provided it was established that a default was committed and that the other procedural requirement was fulfilled. It has not defined the "other procedural requirement" in the recommendations.
View: Budget should iron out incongruities of the insolvency and bankruptcy code
As the objective of IBC is quick resolution, failing which a swift liquidation, it may be prudent for the legislature to clarify on inter-se rights of creditors with differing security interest not only in insolvency / Prepacks but also in liquidation. Similarly, clarity should be provided for quantification of disputed and contingent tax claims.
Govt proposes slew of changes to insolvency law"To strengthen the functioning of the IBC, changes to the Code are being considered in relation to the admission of corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP) applications, streamlining the insolvency resolution process, recasting the liquidation process, and the role of service providers under the Code," the ministry said in a notice.
Srei voting process on 3 resolution plans to begin on January 19"All legal approvals are in place and the voting process will begin tomorrow. Three resolution plans received under the challenge mechanism will be put under voting. The pending legal cases will not have any bearing on the voting and ongoing IBC process," an official told PTI declining to be identified.
Bankruptcy court dismisses revival plan for Ujaas EnergyThe ruling will set a precedent for lenders in other cases where dissenting secured creditors are seeking to proceed separately against the promoters with regard to their personal guarantees under the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code (IBC), said experts.
NCLAT upholds removal of resolution professional of Shree Ram Urban InfraThe NCLAT observed that the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) was initiated against Shree Ram Urban Infrastructure Ltd (SRUIL) on November 06, 2019, and the first CoC meeting was conducted after more than one-and-a-half years on April 19, 2021.
Crane maker Tractors India dragged to NCLTFive banks, including BoI, have total receivables of ₹600 crore from the company that has been classified as a non-performing asset by banks. "The case has been filed in the NCLT pending admission. There was no other recourse since the company is bleeding and no resolution is in sight," said a person aware of the process.
NCLAT upholds NCLT order dismissing Wave Megacity's plea to initiate insolvency proceedings against itselfIn June last year, the Delhi-based Principal bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) rejected the plea filed by Wave Megacity Centre, which is developing commercial and residential projects in sectors 25A and 32 of Noida, Uttar Pradesh.

Lanco Amarkantak resolution faces delaysThe resolution professional, Saurabh Kumar Tikmani backed by KPMG, invited lenders last week to vote on the resolution plans given by the PFC-REC team, Adani Power and Reliance Industries. The voting will end on December 30.
Is the government strategically manoeuvring the IBC?Strangely, post the announcement of Bad Bank, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) benches have been staffed sub-optimally. Fewer judges have led to delays, which in turn has resulted in banks losing interest in the IBC, instead gravitating towards NARCL.
Circular in works on tax recovery from cos under IBCThe revenue department will discuss the necessary changes with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) that administers the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC). The move is aimed at providing clarity following a Supreme Court judgement.
NCLT admits listed coaching firm MT Educare under Corporate Insolvency Resolution ProcessThe Mumbai bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) allowed the company’s operational creditor Connect Residuary to initiate the insolvency proceedings. The operational creditor had approached the bankruptcy court in November last year after the company defaulted on its dues of about Rs 5.37 crore.
Government preparing to amend insolvency law to reduce time period for resolution processGovernment is preparing to amend the insolvency law as it looks to reduce the time taken for completion of resolution process of stressed assets and prevent significant erosion of value of the assets, reported PTI citing a senior official. The amendments to the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), which came into force in 2016 for timely resolution of stressed assets, are expected to be introduced in the Budget session of Parliament early next year.
IBC changes on agenda to speed up resolution; bill likely to be introduced in Budget SessionAccording to government data, 12,871 bankruptcy resolution cases were pending on October 31, down from 13,211 as on December 31, 2021. The average number of days taken to resolve a case rose from 230 days in FY18 to 679 days in the first half of FY23.

"At present, 01 President and 37 Members (18 Judicial and 19 Technical) are in position against the sanctioned strength of 01 President and 62 Members (31 Judicial and 31 Technical).
Don't spook banks further from IBCCutting delays in the insolvency process and raising recoveries call for a more robust legal infrastructure. This includes expediting the setting up of multiple benches of the adjudicating authority. There is also a case to bifurcate bankruptcy-related legal issues and other corporate law-related procedural matters to ease NCLT's load. Banks must also report defaults as soon as they happen.
Tweaking IBC to facilitate recoveryAn amendment to allow financial creditors to be the beneficiaries of recoveries from avoidance transactions is not a bad idea. It will enable banks to lend afresh.
Supreme Court to decide if PMLA overrides IBCTaking up an appeal filed in the matter of Ashok Kumar Sarawgi versus the ED, the apex court issued notices on November 11 to all parties and the case will be taken up for admission on November 21 tentatively.

Dabbing THC is more likely to bring on those effects in me, as it provides a comparatively high dose all at once. But when I dab CBD, I feel the opposite. I exhale and my whole body exhales with me. I feel more relaxed, more centered, and less all over the place than usual.
How long does a CBD dab last?
How long do the effects last? Again, it all depends on your body, how much you take, and how you take it. But generally, the effects of CBD can last from 2 to 6 hours.
How do you take CBD dabs?
How do you dab?
- Step 1: Turn on your torch and aim the flame directly at the nail. …
- Step 2: Once the nail is hot, turn off your torch. …
- Step 3: Apply the dab directly onto the nail with your dabber and begin inhaling slowly. …
- Step 4: Cover the dab with a carb cap and finish inhaling—a cap will help regulate the airflow.
Can 50mg of CBD get you high?
Cannabidiol, or CBD, is one of over 60 active compounds in the cannabis plant. These active compounds, known as cannabinoids, affect your body in many different ways. CBD isn’t psychoactive — meaning it won’t get you “high.” Instead, research suggests that it may help: reduce anxiety and depression.
Will CBD show on drug test?
CBD will not show up in a drug test because drug tests are not screening for it. CBD products may well contain THC, however, so you can fail a drug test after taking CBD products.
Does CBD wax make you high?
CBD is non-intoxicating and does not lead to a ‘high’ feeling that people associate with cannabis usage. This high comes from THC, which is another cannabinoid in the cannabis plant. Therefore, even with higher CBD dosages from concentrates, they will not affect a person in the same way.
What is a CBD Brazilian wax?
CBD is derived from Hemp and is known to calm, soothe and hydrate skin. During waxing, Gigi’s All Purpose CBD Wax utilizes its blend of soothing ingredients to help reduce irritation and discomfort while simultaneously removing all unwanted hair.
Can you OD on CBD?
The general consensus among professionals and even the World Health Organization, is that in even in extremely large doses, CBD is likely to cause extreme drowsiness, lethargy, upset stomach, nausea and diarrhoea and other unpleasant, disorienting side effects, not death.
Can you get addicted to CBD?
CBD: Is it addictive? While current scientific evidence suggests that heavy cannabis use may increase the risk of dependence in some people, CBD by itself does not appear to be addictive.
How many puffs of CBD should I take for anxiety?
“In total, I take at least 50 mg of full-spectrum CBD oil a day, and I usually take 75 to 100 mg,” depending on pain and anxiety levels that day. Sublingual CBD oils are a great choice for people who have trouble swallowing capsules or are unable to take gummies.
What does CBD do to you?
CBD oil has been studied for its potential role in easing symptoms of many common health issues, including anxiety, depression, acne and heart disease. For those with cancer, it may even provide a natural alternative for pain and symptom relief.
Is CBD good for focus?
CBD not only soothes the anxiety and fidgeting but also helps with improving focus and concentration as well.
What are the side effects of CBD?
CBD use also carries some risks. Though it’s often well-tolerated, CBD can cause side effects, such as dry mouth, diarrhea, reduced appetite, drowsiness and fatigue. CBD can also interact with other medications you’re taking, such as blood thinners.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi took the second dose of vaccine against Kovid on Thursday morning amid Corona’s growing case. The Prime Minister himself tweeted in the morning that he took the second dose of vaccine at Delhi AIIMS today. The first dose of the vaccine was taken by PM Modi on 1 March. Along with this, PM Modi appealed to those who have the current ability to take the vaccine, and said that vaccination is one of the few ways to defeat the virus.
The PM has taken the vaccine for cocaine. He said in the tweet, ‘Today I also took the second dose of vaccine against the Kovid-19 vaccine at AIIMS. Vaccination is one of the few methods we have in defeating viruses. If you are eligible to get vaccinated, then take the vaccine soon. ‘ The PM also gave a link to the CoWIN website with the tweet, which has been made for the vaccination drive.
Got my second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at AIIMS today.
Vaccination is among the few ways we have, to defeat the virus.
– Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) April 8, 2021
This time the vaccine was given by Nisha Sharma, the nurse of Punjab to PM Modi. She was accompanied by Sister P. Niveda of Puducherry, a previous nurse.
