It’s also one of the strongest and most concentrated CBD products on the market today. With a grain-of-rice-sized recommended serving taken orally twice a day, its potent punch acts quickly—in just ten to fifteen minutes—to provide powerful relief. Furthermore, it offers terrific value for your money, boasting more CBD per dollar than many other CBD products.
Summary: Early research has found that CBD oil has the potential to reduce chronic pain, anxiety, depression and acne, and may help those overcoming addiction. Its anti-inflammatory properties may also play a role in lowering the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. It has even shown anti-tumor effects and could be effective in inhibiting the progression of cancer and its related symptoms.
People claim that cannabis oil can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, though evidence to back up these claims is often lacking. For example, according to Medical News Today, people use cannabis oil for conditions ranging from pain to acne; some even claim the oil can cure diseases like Alzheimer's and cancer. (But again, there is no clinical evidence to support these claims.)

THC, an intoxicating and illegal substance, is responsible for causing marijuana users to get “high.” Unlike THC, CBD is non-psychoactive because it does not act on the same pathways as THC. Thus, it is impossible to get “high” by smoking or ingesting CBD or CBD oil extracted from industrial hemp plants, as they only have minuscule traces of THC (<0.3%).
I have lower back pain with some arthritis and arthritis in my hands.ive recently tried CBD Oil. It really does work. I have the drops and ointment. They both work. Because of the back pain I never would have been able to go on a hike with my family. We had a lot of fun. And "No Pain", all day. I'm also Type 2 diabetic. Anxious to see what my A1C is next month. I'm a believer.
CBD oil is made by mixing the extracted CBD or cannabidiol from the cannabis or marijuana plant (Cannabis Sativa) with coconut or hemp seed oil. CBD oil possesses cannabidiol; while THC is psychoactive, CBD is not, thereby helping relieve pain, treating anxiety and depression, fighting cancer, reducing anxiety. It also improves the quality of sleep, boosts appetite, and optimizes digestion.
There are so many different CBD products out there to choose from, and it can be difficult to find the ones that are just right for you. To help you make an informed decision and enjoy CBD’s benefits to the fullest, we have put together several pages of invaluable information about CBD, its properties, its uses, and how YOU can best benefit from it.
Can’t sleep? Cannabis oil also works for people with insomnia. The calming effects of the oil help people to sleep calmly, relieving issues of anxiety and restlessness. A 2015 scientific review published in the American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy found that cannabis treatment is effective for military veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Research suggests that cannabinoids, the psychoactive components of unrefined cannabis, regulates neurotransmitter release and produces a wide range of central nervous system effects, including increased pleasure and alteration of memory processes.
This supplement was recommended to me by a family member. I've been taking it for months now and it has improved my hair,skin, and nails better then the EXPENSIVE gummies brand HAIR SKIN AND NAILS! Aldo good for SOOO many other issues. A teaspoon squirt once a day by mouth (does not taste bad) or with cooking or in salad dressing helps with so many things...Google hemp oil benefits!! Highly recommend!
Cannabidiol is currently a class B1 controlled drug in New Zealand under the Misuse of Drugs Act. It is also a prescription medicine under the Medicines Act. In 2017 the rules were changed so that anyone wanting to use it could go to the Health Ministry for approval. Prior to this, the only way to obtain a prescription was to seek the personal approval of the Minister of Health.
A wealth of marketing material, blogs and anecdotes claim that cannabis oils can cure whatever ails you, even cancer. But the limited research doesn't suggest that cannabis oil should take the place of conventional medication, except for in two very rare forms of epilepsy (and even then, it's recommended only as a last-resort treatment). And, experts caution that because cannabis oil and other cannabis-based products are not regulated or tested for safety by the government or any third-party agency, it's difficult for consumers to know exactly what they're getting.
"CBD increases the circulating levels of your natural endocannabinoids, which, in turn, interact with your cannabinoid receptors," Bonn-Miller says. "CBD has also been shown to interact with serotonin receptors, and that may be part of why it has some beneficial effects on anxiety. It also interacts with some pain receptors, which may be why we're starting to see effects on pain and inflammation."
In the meantime, some physicians are forging ahead — and cashing in. Joe Cohen is a doctor at Holos Health, a medical marijuana clinic in Boulder. I asked him what CBD is good for, and he read me a long list of conditions: pain, inflammation, nausea, vomiting, intestinal cramping, anxiety, psychosis, muscle spasms, hyperactive immune systems, nervous system degeneration, elevated blood sugar and more. He also claimed that CBD has anti-cancer properties and can regenerate brain cells and reduce the brain’s levels of amyloid beta — a kind of protein that’s been linked to Alzheimer’s disease. I asked for references, noting that most of these weren’t listed in the Academies report or a similar review published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. “I think you just have to Google search it,” he said. It’s true that a preliminary study found hints that cannabinoids might reduce beta amyloid proteins in human brain cells, but the study was done in cells grown in a lab, not in people. As for cancer, the FDA sent warning letters last year to four companies that were selling products that claimed to “prevent, diagnose, treat or cure” cancer.
Based on history cannabis is believed to have originated from Central Asia. Cannabis is one of the oldest plant medicines known to man. It is difficult to trace the beginnings of cannabis use use by humans because it was cultivated and consumed long before the appearance of writing. According to archeological discoveries, cannabis has been known in China since the Neolithic period, around 4000 BC.
If you just don’t have the time or inclination to take supplements every day, but you still want to experience the potential benefits of CBD, this Hemp Oil CBD Patch from Pure Ratios could be just what you’re looking for. With little fuss or need for specialist know-how or equipment, simply apply a patch to the target area and enjoy a slow-release 40-mg serving of CBD that will last for up to 96 hours.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring cannabinoid constituent of cannabis. It was discovered in 1940 and initially thought not to be pharmaceutically active. It is one of at least 113 cannabinoids identified in hemp plants, accounting for up to 40% of the plant's extract. As of 2018 in the United States, Food and Drug Administration approval of cannabidiol as a prescription drug called Epidiolex for medical uses has been limited to two rare forms of childhood epilepsy.
Then one day in 1963 a young organic chemist in Israel named Raphael Mechoulam, working at the Weizmann Institute of Science outside Tel Aviv, decided to peer into the plant’s chemical composition. It struck him as odd that even though morphine had been teased from opium in 1805 and cocaine from coca leaves in 1855, scientists had no idea what the principal psychoactive ingredient was in marijuana. “It was just a plant,” says Mechoulam, now 84. “It was a mess, a mélange of unidentified compounds.”
CBD Isolates/Concentrates: Anyone familiar with smoking hash or other cannabis concentrates like wax and BHO will be no stranger to this delivery method. Simply sprinkle some into a vaporizer or water pipe, ignite, inhale, and enjoy! We find that this option is useful for individuals looking to elevate their regular consumption of CBD-rich cannabis flowers or other smokable herbs.

For the past few years, the EU has been at a turning point, and believes that younger generations are the ones to shape Europe’s future. Aligned to this, the EU tries to cultivate inventiveness, as it is deemed that inventions will lead towards a more sustainable and prosperous future for people and planet, based on solidarity and respect.
The European Commission is supporting such initiatives by organising the first /European Inventors Week (EIW). Following this campaign, Inventors all around Europe discussed constructively about inventions and the impact these have to society. The ultimate goal is to foster an environment of inventiveness and innovation in addition to inspiring young Europeans to harness their imagination for the benefit of the EU community.
Innovation Hive, is always aligned with principles that promote inventiveness and innovation and participated in the campaign, by organising a webinar called ‘’The Inventors of Today – The Leaders of Tomorrow’’. The event was organized in the context of the European Inventors Week and Its main goal was to contribute effectively to the growth and development of innovative inventions in Europe. During the webinar, 3 groups of young inventors, had the opportunity to be a vital part of a constructive dialogue, oriented to inventions and their impact, in a regional, national or European level. That way, the event promoted the spirit of inventiveness and raised awareness regarding the need of innovation in the EU. As a result, youth was encouraged and motivated to become Europe’s future leaders that will lead Europe a step closer to growth. The topics of discussion, covered areas related to innovation in start-ups and entrepreneurship (environment, digital) while at the same time, the importance of providing the fertile environment for innovation in the EU were thoroughly analyzed.
In conclusion, Europe should continue to promote, sustain, and disseminate the message of open research and open innovation, as well as stay open to the rest of the world. The EU should seek open collaboration to the advantage of its community, beginning with international solidarity and the vision of innovation as a global public good. At the same time, attention should be paid on defining and disseminating the essential societal values and goals that Europe wishes to achieve through its internal and external innovation policies. Such principles and aspirations may be transferred to other nations in part through joint initiatives, such as the aforementioned, about innovation ecosystems and smart specialization techniques.

With new research regularly being carried out, the case against sugar as "the baddie" of the food industry is growing. For a country that is hoping to return to growing sugar beet in 2017, marking 90 years since it was first grown & marketed here, one wonders how the story of sugar will pan out in the future.
Links of high sugar intake with obesity and increasing the risk of diabetes, the reduce sugar campaign is gaining volume for the introduction of a sugar tax. The world is watching Mexico who introduced the sugar tax in the last few years to see what progress we should take in this regard. With the term 'fake news' lately making the news, an article in the Irish Times (Prof. Donal O' Shea, August 2016) refuted the Mexican claims to date and highlighted the importance of ring-fencing any monies raised through such a tax to improve children's health from sugar related conditions.
The lesson on sugar is changing in Home Economics classes. The question: What is sugar?, is no longer just a classification of carbohydrates with different colours and consistencies used in baking, but a lesson towards the future health of our nation. (click on the highlighted above to read more)

This book was not at all what I (Helen) expected. When I heard about Multiply, I assumed it was a book about evangelism. Is it just me, or is that not what the title suggests? In any case, this is not a book about evangelism, so I felt a little thrown for a loop throughout my reading of it. It’s not that I didn’t enjoy the book, or that I didn’t get anything out of it, but I just couldn’t quite shake the unmet expectations I had coming into it.
Another aspect of this book that makes it difficult to review is that I am not the intended audience for this book. In the introduction, Francis Chan states that this material is firstly, meant to be taught, and secondly, meant to be read in relationship with others. The ideal way to read this book is in twos, with one person being the “discipler” and the other being the one who is being “discipled.” Perhaps a better approach to this book than the one I took is to view it as curriculum, rather than something to be read personally.
Because Multiply is so different, I’m taking a different approach to my book review today – a sort of question and answer style. Hopefully this will help me get past some of the obstacles I had coming to this book.
Multiply is broken into five sections: Living as a Disciple Maker, Living as the Church, How to Study the Bible, Understanding the Old Testament, and Understanding the New Testament. The first two sections address the practicalities of the church’s mission and living in a way that draws others into a deepening relationship with Christ, the third section is about Bible study methods and reasons for studying the Bible, and the last two sections are basic Bible overview.
Who is this book for?
As I mentioned earlier, this book is meant to be read in twos – in discipleship relationships. The author assumes that those reading the book are church-goers and have a relationship with God. This book is for those who want to deepen their walk with God in practical ways, and for those who want to help others to do that. I think this book would be ideal for someone who has just come through Alpha and has committed to following Christ, and is attending church regularly. It would be a great way to follow up with those who have made the decision to follow Jesus, helping them to determine the answers to questions such as “What’s next?” “What should my life look like now that I’m a Christ-follower?”
Favorite parts of the book?
I found the first three sections to be the most impacting for me. The “How to Study the Bible” section was a great reminder of why I do what I do in SBS, and I felt convicted to check some of my motivations for studying Scripture – it’s not just a Book to be studied so I can teach it, but a Book that is read to deepen relationship with God, to exalt Jesus, and to prepare us for the mission He has given us. Very basic stuff, yes, but it was a helpful reminder! I also really liked the conclusion, in which Chan reminds the reader that reading about the Bible is no substitute for reading the Bible itself.
Least favorite parts of the book?
I think the whole book was a great introduction to deepening one’s faith, but considering I was reading the book outside of the context it was meant to be read in, it was difficult for me to engage with Multiply. This is through no fault of Chan’s, however.
Would you recommend this book?
I would definitely recommend this book for someone new to their faith, or for someone who wants to walk alongside someone who is new to following Jesus. Each chapter ends with the suggestion to watch a video by Francis Chan and David Platt – the videos are geared towards someone who is in the process of discipling others. For the more seasoned believer, Multiply is a good reminder of the “whys” behind the church’s and the believer’s responsibilities and privileges as part of the body of Christ, but it isn’t really anything new (we are dealing with timeless truths, after all).
Overall, I have no major criticisms of Multiply. It just wasn’t the book I expected it to be, and for some reason, I couldn’t get past that. If you’re looking for a book to read with a friend who has just committed to following Jesus, this would be a great option, both for you and the new believer.

Asian Agri has strengthened its commitment to responsible sourcing for its supply chain, by implementing a policy that requires Asian Agri's independent smallholders and third-party palm oil suppliers to provide legal documentation of its Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) sources. This will ensure that the company's FFB supply comes from legal sources – preventing encroachment of natural forest and protected areas, stopping illegal cultivation activities, and establishing a sustainable supply chain.
"Asian Agri believes that this is a win-win solution for all parties and also encourages other independent smallholders to get certified and ensure that their FFB is acceptable in the international market," said Kelvin Tio, Managing Director of Asian Agri.
Asian Agri is committed to applying this policy, in order to remove illegal and unknown FFB sources from its supply chain and processing facilities in Indonesia. The company will be continuously refining its due diligence system, in verifying the FFB source, to ensure its compliance with applicable legal requirements.
One of the top Indonesian producers of crude palm oil (CPO), Asian Agri has operated in 3 provinces in the Sumatra Island since 1979. The company manages 100,000 Ha of land and partners 29,000 smallholder families in Riau and Jambi who operate 60,000 Ha of palm oil plantation. Asian Agri’s success in becoming one of the leading CPO companies has been acknowledged internationally with the ISO 14001 certification for all of its operations. As with all of the other companies owned by Sukanto Tanoto and RGE, Asian Agri is dedicated to employing sustainable development and manufacturing processes.
Asian Agri has long been a supporter in protecting the environment. The company has been a member of the RSPO since 2006 and will continue supporting its farmers in obtaining RSPO certification. The company is also one of the largest ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) crude palm oil producers in Indonesia, in-line with the EU Renewable Energy Directive Standards.

5 Exceptional Spanish Poems in Latin American Literature
Do you want to read more Spanish poems and learn about the history of poetry and literature in Spanish? One of the best ways to understand the inner workings of a culture is to learn about its art forms, especially its literary culture. I invite you to submerge yourself in the world of Latin American Poetry!
Before you jump into the world of poetry, would you like to download your free Spanish eBook for beginners? It’s full of suspenseful and silly stories, great pictures, and English-Spanish parallel text. Click here to download it!
Why Is Poetry Essential?
Language, whether Spanish, English, Portuguese or Mandarin, is the medium through which all humans communicate. It is a system of signs that humanity uses to express ideas and feelings and to build relationships. For creative artists who often think outside the box, language may feel too structured, full of rules and regulations, leading to unique forms of expression. Figures of speech begin to appear, such as metaphors, similes, or hyperboles (among many others) and provide a fertile and expansive ground for creating poetry.
It is through poetry that a culture exposes its deepest secrets, expressing its inner world of tendencies, definitions, and complex emotions. As the linguist Roland Barthes says, “To try to write love is to confront the muck of language; that region of hysteria where language is both too much and too little…” The ordinary and typical use of language alone is seemingly incapable of expressing the whole truth of a sentiment—which is where poetry comes in.
Poetry expresses powerful and complicated emotions like fear, love, anger, loss. It serves both as a tool to communicate our deepest truths and to document humanity’s legacy of love and loss.
Latin American Literary History of Spanish Poetry
You may believe that Latin American literature is simply literature in the Spanish language, but you’d be sorely mistaken. Every world language has its own history to tell through its literature, exposing its challenges and triumphs; its weakness and strengths through words.
When we look through the written masterpieces of Latin American literature, we begin with Latin America’s birth as a cluster of independent nations, freshly separated from their Spanish and Porteguese colonizers. These first recognised pieces of literature came from Creoles (sons and daughters of colonisers) and Colonisers who recounted their experiences of making a home in the new world. It focused on the mysteries of the unknown for Europe and all their adventures in the Indies as well as the fights for independence. These harrowing tales and experiences were a great source of interest in literature.
Mixture of Cultures
While the stories of exploits in the New World are fascinating, they ignore one of the most crucial and captivating aspects of Latin American’s literary history: the mixture of cultures and languages with the natives. These cultural clashes gave rise to a new politics, a new culture, and newer forms of language.
Up until today, Latin American literature carries along this history, a history of colonization and independence, of mixing cultures, and as such, it is an extraordinarily unique and emotionally-charged literature full of different voices.
Latin American literature was not widely recognised around the world until 1840 when a group of Latin Americans began a magazine in Paris. The intense and permeating influences of their writing stemmed from highly political changes occurring in their homelands, and this creative vigor remains an integral part of Latin America’s literary tradition until today. The air of revolution and independence is one that has crowded Latin American art for decades due to its complex history.
One movement, known as the literary “boom,” came after the Cuban revolution during a time when many other countries in the region were stymied by civil wars. The movement’s peak was in the 1970s and includes famous writers whose talents have withstood the hands of time, such as:
- Gabriel García Márques
- Julio Cortázar
- Mario Vargas Llosa
- Miguel Ángel Asturias
- Octavio Paz
- María Luisa Bombal
- Rosario Castellanos
- Nélida Piñon
The “boom” writers made the everyday, mundane elements of life a powerful, message-laden focus in literature. They wrote about normal people and common events, those that had been often overlooked and taken for granted. However, through this mundanity, they were able to communicate with humanity, with the ordinary events that connect us as living beings.
Many other movements and exceptionally creative writers have helped to form the literary tradition of Latin America into one that is as varied and broad as its territory and numerous cultures.
5 Exceptional Poets from Latin America
Let’s explore 5 poems written by well-known writers in Latin America. These poets have belonged to different traditions and movements throughout history, exposing the depth of the culture they belong to and the human life they reflect.
1. Humberto Ak’abal
Humberto Ak’abal was a Guatemalan poet, born in the region of Momostenango in 1952. His Mayan ancestry is reflected in his work and ideology. Ak’abal’s work is organic and simple, including a lot of natural elements form his surroundings and his cultural beliefs. The following poem is direct and short as is his usual style, and it reveals the difficult history of colonization amongst Mayan and indigenous communities and their continuous struggles.
me pusieron dos lágrimas
en los ojos
para que pudiera ver
el tamaño del dolor de mi gente.
When I was born
they put two tears
in my eyes
so that I could see
the amount of pain in my people.
2. Gabriela Mistral
Gabriela Mistral was born in the town of Vicuña, Chile in 1889. She received a Nobel Prize in literature in 1945. Her poetry is dominated by the different kinds of love that crowd the human heart. The following verses reflect the influence of spirituality and religion of her upbringing and culture as well as literary influences such as Dante.
¡Biblia, mi noble Biblia, panorama estupendo,
en donde se quedaron mis ojos largamente,
tienes sobre los Salmos las lavas más ardientes
y en su río de fuego mi corazón enciendo!
Sustentaste a mis gentes con tu robusto vino
y los erguiste recios en medio de los hombres,
y a mí me yergue de ímpetu sólo el decir tu nombre;
porque yo de ti vengo, he quebrado al destino
Después de ti tan solo me traspasó los huesos
con su ancho alarido el sumo florentino
Bible, my noble Bible, magnificent panorama,
where my eyes lingered for a long time,
you have in the Psalms the most burning of lavas
and in its river of fire I lit my heart!
You sustained my people with your strong wine
and you made them stand strong among men,
and just saying your name gives me strength;
because I come from you I have broken destiny
After you, only the scream of the great Florentine
went through my bones.

3. César Vallejo
César Vallejo was born in the town of Santiago Chuco, Perú in 1892. His ancestry was a mix of Chimu Indigenous culture and Spanish Catholic, which gave him a strictly religious upbringing. Vallejo was a highly educated poet and his poetry is influenced by his interest in the working classes’ struggles and politics. He was exiled from Perú in the 1930’s due to his political beliefs, after which he moved around Europe for a few years. The following poem is about his time living in Paris while he was being prosecuted before gaining residency.
Piedra Negra Sobre Una Piedra Blanca
Me moriré en París con aguacero,
un día del cual tengo ya el recuerdo.
Me moriré en París -y no me corro-
tal vez un jueves, como es hoy, de otoño.
Jueves será, porque hoy, jueves, que proso
estos versos, los húmeros me he puesto
a la mala y, jamás como hoy, me he vuelto,
con todo mi camino, a verme solo.
César Vallejo ha muerto, le pegaban
todos sin que él les haga nada;
le daban duro con un palo y duro
también con una soga; son testigos
los días jueves y los huesos húmeros,
la soledad, la lluvia, los caminos…
Black Stone Lying On A White Stone
I will die in Paris, on a rainy day,
on some day I can already remember.
I will die in Paris – and I don’t step aside –
perhaps on a Thursday, as today is Thursday, in autumn.
It will be a Thursday, because today, Thursday, setting down
these lines, I have put my upper arm bones on
wrong, and never so much as today have I found myself
with all the road ahead of me, alone.
César Vallejo is dead. Everyone beat him
although he never does anything to them;
they beat him hard with a stick and hard also
with a rope. These are the witnesses:
the Thursdays, and the bones of my arms,
the solitude, and the rain, and the roads…
4. Octavio Paz
Octavio Paz was born in 1914 in Mexico City and won the Nobel Prize in 1990 a few years before his death. He was born into a prominent family that had ties with elites from different backgrounds such as politics and military. Some of his most well-known works dealt with representations of Mexican society and politics. The following poem demonstrates the influence of philosophy and existence in his work.
Soy Hombre: duro poco
y es enorme la noche.
Pero miro hacia arriba:
Las estrellas escriben.
Sin entender comprendo:
también soy escritura
y en este mismo instante
alguien me deletrea.
I am a man: little do I last
and the night is enormous.
But I look up:
the stars write.
Unknowing I understand:
I too am written,
and at this very moment
someone spells me out.
5. Alejandra Pizarnik
Alejandra Pizarnik was born in Argentina, 1936 to Jewish immigrants from Russia. Her work and ideology is linked to feminist movements and the most popular themes found in her poetry are love and death. She was an autobiographical poet, and the following poem demonstrates the sadness in love and death of which she often wrote.
Mata su luz un fuego abandonado.
Sube su canto un pájaro enamorado.
Tantas criaturas ávidas en mi silencio
y esta pequeña lluvia que me acompaña
Kill your light, an abandoned fire.
A bird in love rises to his song.
So many avid creatures in my silence
and this little rain that accompanies me

Wheeling Hospital Touted for Treating Severest Heart Attack
Wheeling Hospital again has been recognized as one of the top hospitals in the United States for its fast and effective treatment of the most severe type of heart attack, known as ST Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction, or STEMI.
The hospital has earned the American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline Heart Attack Receiving Center Accreditation for meeting or exceeding procedures to restore blood flow to blocked arteries in heart attack patients coming directly to the hospital or by transfer from another medical facility. The accreditation is for three years.
“Wheeling Hospital is thoroughly committed to providing our patients the highest quality cardiac care centered on current scientific research,” said Kareen Simon, interim CEO. “The accreditation demonstrates the skill and talent of our Cardiac Cath Lab staff. We are proud of our cardiac interventional cardiologists, nurses and radiologic technologists.”
Wheeling Hospital underwent reviews by AHA accreditation specialists. Key areas in which the hospital demonstrated exceptional quality of care to receive accreditation include:
∫ Expertise, facilities and equipment to perform heart attack treatment by inserting a small balloon through a catheter to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels in the heart (coronary arteries).
∫ Available to treat STEMIs 24 hours a day.
∫ Coordination with emergency medical services and referring centers (non-interventional facilities) to prepare for immediate treatment when patients arrive.
∫ Facilitation of STEMI patient transport participation in a multidisciplinary team with representatives from EMS, cardiac catheterization lab, quality improvement, coronary care unit, physician and nursing staff meeting regularly to identify challenges and make continuous care improvements.
“Mission: Lifeline was created to help ensure prompt, evidence-based care for STEMI patients. The award recognizes our commitment and success in implementing a higher standard of care for patients experiencing this type of profoundly life-threatening emergency,” said Dr. Adel Frenn, Cardiac Services director and interventional cardiologist.
“We also thank the area’s EMS, who are first to treat the patients. We coordinate patient care with them by radio until they arrive at our doors,” he said.
Wheeling Hospital’s Cardiac Catheterization Lab is the only facility in Ohio, Marshall, Wetzel and Belmont counties that opens arteries with balloon angioplasty and keeps them open by inserting stents.
In addition to Frenn, the interventional cardiologists include Drs. Deepak Hooda, Triston Smith and Gregory Suero.

There are a number of points throughout the trade mark system where multiple undertakings share the same name, either unwillingly, or by consent. In this timely book, expert contributors address this controversial issue and identify the various points at which names are shared.
This unique book uses both historical and interdisciplinary perspectives, as well as more traditional legal methodology, to examine the practical and theoretical implications of such name sharing for the parties involved. It analyses what can be learned from the sharing process about the nature of the trade mark system and the interests which it protects. General themes relating to the nature and purpose of trade mark law are also discussed.
The contributors focus on UK and European law and their detailed treatment of specific trade mark topics will prove invaluable to postgraduate law students and academics specialising in intellectual property. Legal practitioners will appreciate the up-to-date consideration of concepts important in both contentious and non-contentious trade mark practice and in-house counsel for brand owners will benefit from the expert guidance offered on issues relevant to protecting their trade marks.

A perennial issue in American politics, income distribution, has returned to center stage after a decade's absence. It seems "unfair" that poverty persisted at high levels in the 1980s as the number of millionaires soared.
Using the official definition, the poverty rate in 1989 (12.8 percent) was higher than it had been 20 years earlier in 1969 (12.6 percent), despite an increase in average real personal income per person of 37 percent.There are problems with the definition of poverty. The government itself recently reported more than 25 alternative definitions, with poverty rates ranging from 7.6 percent to 20.3 percent.
Yet using any consistent definition, the proportion of Americans who are poor has not changed significantly over the past two decades despite rising incomes and economic growth.
Some claim that public support for the poor was curtailed during the Reagan era, reversing earlier progress in eradicating poverty. Others point out that wages among lower-skilled and lower-paid workers have risen less rapidly than for more highly trained workers. The solution: more entitlement spending and/or greater spending for education and training programs.
In reality, real per capita federal spending for "income security" in fiscal 1990 was almost precisely the same as 10 years earlier, and was more than double the 1969 level, when poverty was lower than today.
While the skilled-unskilled pay differential has grown, there is much evidence that increased school spending does little, if anything, to improve educational or training outcomes. Inferior schools in low income areas are more a problem than a solution. Throwing money to the educational establishment will do little to help the poor.
There are two major reasons poverty has persisted at high levels: a decline in work participation among those whose income security is "at risk" and the virtual destruction of the traditional family among lower-income Americans.
While some poor Americans cannot find jobs, most simply choose to be unemployed - they literally cannot afford to work. To work means to lose one's medical card, food stamps, publicly subsidized housing or AFDC cash payments. For every work dollar earned, many poor must give up 80, 90 or even 100 cents in benefits.
Welfare is entrapping people into a culture of poverty and non-work.
The welfare programs evolving out of the Great Society of the 1960s have contributed to the breakup of the traditional family among low-income Americans. The state has become the surrogate father, providing long-term "income maintenance" that previously was provided by a male head of household.
Where the father is absent, incomes tend to be low. The poverty rate in married-couple families in 1989 was 6.7 percent, compared with 35.9 percent in fatherless households headed by a female. Nearly two-thirds of the poor live outside married-couple families.
Almost 77 million Americans - more than 31 percent - lived outside the traditional family arrangement in 1989, compared with about 17 percent 20 years earlier. According to my calculations, poverty today would be more than 20 percent lower (6 million fewer poor) if we had not had a shift away from traditional family units.
The solution to the poverty problem is to reduce the debilitating effects of the welfare state.
Welfare should be offered to able-bodied Americans only as a temporary helping hand. Governmental encouragement for non-traditional living arrangements should be halted.
Being "kind and gentle" to the poor, we have trapped many of them into a life of poverty that lacks purpose and meaning. Let's be kind to the poor by getting tough on them.

For the first time in a long time some good news as emerged from California. The law passed last year that would have made it illegal to mail order ammunition in the state of California has been struck down in the Fresno Superior Court:
The law, passed last year as AB 962, would have banned mail order ammunition sales and required all purchases of so called “handgun ammunition” to be registered. In an unwritten ruling from the bench, Judge Jeffrey Hamilton found the law unconstitutionally vague on its face and issued an injunction against its enforcement. For now, at least, mail order ammunition sales to California residents can continue, and ammunition sales need not be registered under the law.
The lawsuit—funded by the National Rifle Association and the California Rifle and Pistol (CRPA) Foundation as part of a joint Legal Action Project—was prompted in part by the many objections and questions raised by confused police, ammunition purchasers, and sellers about what ammunition is covered by the new law. Plaintiffs in the case include Tehama County Sheriff Clay Parker, the CRPA Foundation, Herb Bauer Sporting Goods, ammunition shipper Able’s Ammo, collectible ammunition shipper RTG Sporting Collectibles, and individual Steven Stonecipher. Mendocino Sheriff Tom Allman also supported the lawsuit.
Being California is about as tyrannical of a state as you can get you can bet money this will be appealed. Still score yet another one for the good guys.

Homeowners should be wary of all electrical equipment during the floods, warns Master Electricians Australia.
This comes as residents are warned to be extremely careful around solar panel installations if forced on to their rooftops by flooding.
Master Electricians Australia Chief Executive, Malcolm Richards, said solar panels would continue producing electricity during flood events – even if Energex has cut off the power supply and even if the panels have been switched off at the switchboard.
“Home owners who are forced on to their roof tops to avoid flood water need to stay well clear of the panel and associated wiring.
“Because of the recent explosion in the number of homes with solar installations, this is not a problem the people of south east Queensland have ever dealt with before” he said.
Home owners forced to evacuate their homes should turn off the main power at the switchboard before they leave if they can do so safely.
In addition, people should steer clear of all other powered appliances unless they have been first tested by an electrician including switchboards and lifts.
Lifts, also pose a major risk as residents risk being trapped if the power is cut off either intentionally or otherwise.
Huge care should also be taken when homeowners return to their devastated properties and the electricity should always be checked first.
“If a switchboard has been or is submerged, don’t go near it and get an electrician to test it out first,” warns Jessie Badger, Master Electricians Digital Communication Manager.
She also warns residents “not to play with any electrical equipment if it’s wet.”
The Electricians group are part of a task force deciding what needs to be done in the aftermath of the floods, with many members from throughout Australia volunteering to travel to the devastated state to commence the re-wiring and associated tasks.
If homeowners require further information, go to www.masterlectricians.com.au or phone 1300 889 198.


EAST SYRACUSE, NY – The Central New York Association of Chiefs of Police held its annual awards ceremony on Monday at Justin’s Grill in East Syracuse.
An Oswego police officer was one of the honorees.
Awards were presented to the Onondaga County Chapter of Chiefs of Police for outstanding collaboration in two major investigation, members of the public who have assisted law enforcement, officers who have distinguished themselves through outstanding performance in patrol or investigations, and officers who have put their lives on the line through heroic acts that have protected the lives of others.
In all, four citizens, twenty-four officers and one organization were recognized.
About 120 people attended the awards diner.
Tony Callisto, president of the Central New York Association of Chiefs of Police and Chief of Public Safety at Syracuse University, said “once again this year we have taken an opportunity to recognize officers who work hard to protect life and property in communities throughout our 11-county region as well as citizens who’ve stepped forward to help in those efforts. We are very proud of these officers and community members and we thank each of them for their dedication to public safety.”
HEROIC ACTION AWARD – Awarded to officers who intentionally placed themselves in grave risk of loss of life or serious injury in order to protect a fellow officer or member of the public.
Among those honored was Sergeant Damian Waters of the City of Oswego Police Department.
He was cited for his actions on Sept. 28, 2010.
On that day, four fishermen were pulled from the Oswego River after being swept away by fast-moving high water.
Two were pulled out of the water near the Bridge Street Bridge; the other two behind the former Coleman’s restaurant on West First Street, near where the river empties into lake Ontario. Two of them later died.
Oswego Fire Department personnel rescued two of them who were clinging to objects in the river near the Bridge Street Bridge. Those two victims were later evaluated by EMS and released.
Oswego Fire Chief Jeffery McCrobie and (then) Officer Waters both entered the water and pulled two additional men from the river near the former Coleman’s property.

Redmond v. Redmond, No. 12-2511 (7th Cir. 2013)Annotate this Case
Mary, who has both U.S. and Irish citizenship, attended college in Ireland.She and Derek lived together in Ireland for 11 years, but never married. Their son was born in Illinois. The three returned to Ireland 11 days later. A few months later Mary and the baby moved to Illinois against Derek’s wishes. As an unmarried father, Derek had no standing under Irish law to resort to the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, which requires return of children to their country of habitual residence if they are “wrongfully removed to or retained in” another country in breach of the custody rights of the left-behind parent. After 3-1/2 years, an Irish court granted Derek guardianship and joint custody. Mary was in Ireland with the baby for the final hearing. The court allowed her to temporarily return to Illinois. Eight months later Derek filed a Hague Convention petition in Illinois. The district court ordered the child returned to Ireland. The Seventh Circuit reversed. The district court incorrectly treated the parents’ last shared intent as a test for determining habitual residence. Under the Hague Convention, that determination is a practical, flexible, factual inquiry. When Mary moved with the baby to Illinois she was his sole legal custodian and removal was not wrongful under the Convention. By the time of the alleged wrongful “retention,” his life was too firmly rooted in Illinois to consider Ireland his home.

‘The Vampire Diaries’ Star Kat Graham Is Coming Out with a Reinvented Identity
Kat Graham, the famous actress behind Bonnie Bennett on The Vampire Diaries, is being reborn. She embraced her metaphorical death to dismantle her former identity as Graham and reintroduce herself as Toro Gato.
The triple threat first announced her symbolic death through a Twitter post on August 30, 2021. "Kat Graham is dead," she wrote before announcing the arrival of Gato.
Then, she disclosed she would host a private listening party to celebrate her birthday, the coming out of Gato, and the release of her debut EP Toro Gato on September 10 on YellowHeart.
A day after the announcement, The Vampire Diaries star debuted the look of her reinvented identity during an interview with Daily Pop. She talked in length about her groundbreaking decision.
Kat Graham's New Identity Embraces Truth
In the tell-all interview, the budding singer shared she wanted to dismantle her older self with the release of her new Toro Gato project.
Her upcoming project contains six films that echo her metaphorical death. Directed by her partner and The Vampire Diaries' cinematographer Darren Genet, one of the music videos was released on August 20.
"I actually bury myself in one of these films," the 31-year-old said regarding the videos. Then, she expressed her desire to embrace truth, stating entertainers often forget their core and integrity.
The artist mentioned how people were calling her new identity her alter ego. However, she contrasted their remarks, saying Graham was the alter ego to her genuine West African personality.
The Pandemic Prompted Kat Graham to Shed Her Identity
As per her accounts, the Geneva native started working on self-discovery in 2016 and had never planned on coming out in such a fashion. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and the quarantine changed everything.
In isolation, she started getting comfortable in her own skin and got candid about her natural hair. She even detailed her natural hair journey through her YouTube videos and in interviews in August 2020.
In the wake of her honesty, the multi-hyphenate found young black girls being inspired by her story. And their reaction only strengthened her decision to quit all superficial matters and be herself.
Significance of Toro Gato's Look
When the actress attended the interview, she wore a traditional dress without shoes. When asked about her costume's significance, Gato explained that her reinvented identity was based on her West African origin.
Her ensemble was the regular dress of The Kpelle tribe, her native ethnic group. Then she pointed at her headpiece called the Zulu hat and said it belonged to South African culture.
In her own words, she wanted to represent who she was as a woman and where her ancestors were from. She also talked about wigs and clarified that her new identity wouldn't wear them.
I just wanted to annihilate this idea that we needed to be a certain way to be accepted, that we need validation.
After talking about her appearance, the talented songstress elaborated that her new identity represented two egos. Toro embodied the dark side, including the anger and fear of one's monster, whereas Gato stood for peace.
Comparing them to the subconscious and conscious minds, she implied both sides could coexist in a human.

November is Native American Heritage Month. One way to learn more about Native Americans in Little Rock’s history is to visit Riverfront Park.
There are several exhibits in the park that discuss the importance of Native Americans in this region prior to and since the settlement of Little Rock. Denny Haskew’s Native Knowledge is a tribute to the Caddo, Osage, and Quapaw Native American Cultures of Arkansas.
It is sited near the Quapaw Line and La Petite Roche. The location is important because the Quapaw Line was used as demarcation to separate the Quapaw Tribe from land available for white settlers. It ran from La Petite Roche due south. In addition, La Petite Roche was a stop along the “Trail of Tears” as Native American tribes were resettled from their original homes in the American Southeast to points west.
Three bronze twice life-size representational sculptures are mounted on 6” thick hexagonal buff colored sandstone panels suspended between I-beam arches representing the outline of theout canoes of the Osage, Caddo and Quapaw. The bronze sculptures are patinated to match the stone panels giving the appearance of being carved from stone. The back of each panel is etched with a pottery design from each of the three tribes mentioned above.

Navistar International has announced it has teamed up with autonomous truck startup company, TuSimple, forging a partnership with the goal of co-developing self-driving prime movers, with the target of production by 2024.
The two companies have worked together for several years under a technology-sharing relationship, and Navistar has now taken a minority stake in TuSimple.
“Autonomous technology is entering our industry and will have a profound impact on our customers’ businesses,” said Persio Lisboa, Navistar’s recently appointed CEO.
Lisboa said the partnership will leverage collective expertise “to integrate Navistar vehicle design and systems integration capabilities with TuSimple’s innovative autonomous technology.
The trucks will be badged as Internationals but will have TuSimple’s latest tech autonomous capability built in from the start.
In early July TuSimple announced that it had signed an agreement with UPS and other major trucking players to organize what it says will be the first autonomous freight network as part of its aggressive push into the autonomous commercial transport.
Along with UPS, TuSimple has established partnerships with Penske Truck Leasing, major carrier US Express, the Berkshir Hathaway owned national logistic giant McLane.
TuSimple’s president, Cheng Lu, said the goal is to create a network of digitally mapped routes across the USA connecting hundreds of terminals enabling, low-cost long-haul autonomous freight operations starting in the South western U.S
“With the combined expertise of Navistar and TuSimple, we have a clear path to commercialize self-driving heavy duty Class 8 trucks at scale,” Lu said.
TuSimple and Navistar said they will have a fully integrated self-driving truck ready for mass-production at the truck builder’s factories by 2024. Customers will be able to purchase fully autonomous trucks through Navistar’s traditional sales channels in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
TuSimple already operates a fleet of 40 self-driving trucks in the U.S., shipping freight autonomously between Arizona and Texas. Those trucks do have a ‘safety driver’ in the cab, monitoring the truck’s performance and able to take over the controls when needed. However, TuSimple has said it plans to demonstrate driverless operations ome time in the next 12 month.
Navistar’s investment in TuSimple hedges the company’s technology bets given it’s technology and procurement alliance with VW’s Traton Group, which also owns 17 per cent of Navisar.
The Traton and Navistar are working on co-developing new heavy-duty diesel truck engines and Traton is hoping to buy the remaining 83 per cent of Navistar to take full control of the company. Navistar and its current other major shareholders are still evaluating the bid.

“Service is excellent but I made the mistake of buying 3 large bags & it does not suit my GSD at all.
It was too expensive for me to return & in fairness I was given the option.
My dog dislikes the taste & will only eat it if mixed with fresh food.
The effects of this food alternative between diarrhea & constipation.
I have tried to persevere but have no alternative other than give it away.
Posted 3 months ago
OMG that 1 star is killing us:(
Any chance you could rethink that and amend.....?
Sorry to hear your dog did not get on with the food.
We would have refunded you for unopened bags which could have been returned using a service like https://www.parcel2go.com/ for about £9, which is greatly less than the cost of a 10kg bag.
“Thank you for your prompt service..after i had purchased the sample kit for my very fussy Standard Poodle Sirius...Unfortunately i will not be making a future purchase as it has not been successful for Si...thanks in advance Julie💋”
“Got my sample the other day Millie seemed to enjoy it it two hours later sicked it all up the next day we had to go to the vets for anti nausea jab this morning she’s still not well so I can’t recommend it at all also I tried tocancel my order with no replies”

It is a shame you decided to post a review before your query had been actioned by customer services. Discussing an issue you may have with us is better for both parties first. As we have said in our email to you it is fine to return an unopened bag for a refund.
“Poor food, excessive wind, ridiculous amount of poo and excessive thirst which according to the company is normal!! I’d avoid if your not particularly keen on being woken several times a night to let your dog out to the toilet!!”
“wow, wow, wow. we have two dogs. my lovely black cavapoodle Elvis and my cuddly blond cockerpoodle Waffle.
The free samples we received went down a real treat and so have just ordered two 10kg bags. Going to keep Waffle on the fish recipe and see if it helps with his skin allergy. Will update in a couple of months.
The owner and staff were so helpful when I contacted them..... so great to support a British family firm in these times.”
“Picked up our FREE sample and first bag of food today for our 16wk old WCS Cooper. Fantastic friendly help over the weekend through social media, and great service at your warehouse today. I can see how you achieved all the fab reviews I've read online. Pup was super excited when he smelt the samples and tried each one with enthusiasm. I'm looking forward to transitioning him over completely. PLUS supporting a local business. THANKS”
“So far , so good .
Cold pressed food is nothing new to me and my two Springer Spaniels . They have been eating that way since they were puppies . Tribal , Gentle , Wilson’s of Renfrewshire . They all started of good quality but in each case their quality control slipped . The most common problem being too dry a mix so we ended up with a quarter of a bag of dust - alright for mixing with flour and making dog biscuits but useless as a food .
I have gently changed them to your product over the last couple of weeks and they are thriving , full of energy with shiny coats . I cannot ask for more than that .”
“My German Shepherd Sean has been eating Walker & Drakes food for around 3 weeks. He loves it (especially the ocean fish!) and his coat looks great. I’ve been feeding him line with the feeding guide on the pack and he’s put on a healthy 4.5kg in 3 weeks. I wouldn’t want to feed him anything else now, so thank you!”
“My Border Terrier suffers from Canine Epileptoid Cramping Disorder. I have had to make considerable changes to his diet to try and lessen his fits. Part of this was putting him on a gluten free diet. I have found it difficult sourcing a good choice of biscuits and treats. I commend you for formulating dog food that my boy approves of. When the biscuit samples arrived he thoroughly enjoyed them and was as giddy as a kipper. I’ve since put in a bigger order and am relieved to have found this brand. Maybe consider doing treats too? Many Thanks”
“I’m the proud owner of my first giant breed dog, Cane Corso, she’s only 8 weeks old. During pre breed research the importance of a high quality low calcium and relatively low calorie food quickly became an important factor in maintaining body weight as she grows and to avoid joint and ligament damage in later life. So I entered the minefield of puppy food and dog food in general, raw diet versus Kibble versus wet.
I spent hours on Google looking at the various companies well-known brands and bespoke food producers as well as top-10 rated companies et cetera et cetera. That was just the beginning of the journey, once I decided that coldpressed food looked to be the very best way forward the search to find the right brand offering the right quality for the right price began. After many phone calls to various producers manufacturers I came across Walker and Drake, the product really interested me due to it being grain free, high levels of its meat / fish content and the it was simple to get right for age groups. The website was appealing, easy to read easy to understand well laid out.
I called Richard who was incredibly helpful provide all the nutritional information that I required including calcium levels, manufacturing details, even where the product is made (locally, with a well established small company using time tested old school equipment) we arranged delivery of a sample packet which lead to my first order, one of I’m sure will be many, as an adult probably 30kg a month! I knew I should have bought a Chihuahuapoo!! Keep an eye out on their social media for pictures of our puppy!”
“Both of my dachshund seem to like this food, one is really fussy but she has lapped it up, I know I still need a bit longer to try the food as I’m transitioning from another food but so far so good 😊”
“We bought the sample pack - a great idea for just £2.99. That went down well with both of our dogs, so ordered one large bag of duck and one large bag of ocean fish. Currently integrating the Walker & Drake with the old (hard baked) kibble, but clear that our dogs LOVE it! If only they knew we'd chosen it for its nutritional value and the fact that it's made in Yorkshire ;-) Thank you Walker & Drake - great product and great customer service :-)”
“My dog Jenson has had iGI issues for a few years now. I’ve struggled to find a food that suits him but so far so good! Within a day of starting to switch on to ocean feast his poos were dramatically improved, I think due to the mix of ingredients and the fact you don’t use high proportions of fillers like pea protein. I do mix the food 50/50 with wet food to make it more appealing but he eats the lot! Thank you!”
“My dog has been diagnosed with Cushings disease so I wanted to change her diet and this food has all the right ingredients for this condition as well. I wanted to get away from the high baked kibble which is unhealthy so this food ticks all the boxes. My dog loves it.”

Grubs feast on grass roots and are the larvae of beetles like Japanese beetles, June beetles, or European chafers. Adult female beetles lay their eggs in grass in mid-to-late summer and the larvae do the most damage in late summer to early fall. They burrow deeper and become dormant over winter. As the soil warms in spring, they resurface and feed again. They then cocoon and become adult beetles. The best time to treat your lawn for grubs is in the spring or fall when they are active and feeding.
Earth-friendly beneficial nematodes seek out and kill grubs and other soil-inhabiting insects. “The microscopic worms come on a sponge (invisible to naked eye) that you soak in water, put in a sprayer and spray your dirt or lawn. They will multiply over time as they continue to kill grubs. Also, they have nematodes that seek and destroy flea larvae too.” In Northern climates, the best time of year to apply nematodes is in the spring or fall when the grubs are active in the soil. In warmer climates, nematodes can be effective all year. Avoid fertilizer application within 2 weeks of applying nematodes, as the high nitrogen content can be harmful to them. Check labels on pesticides, some are safe for use simultaneously and others are not.

Ivo Neame – Glimpses Of Truth
(Whirlwind Recordings WR4782. CD review by Mark McKergow)
British pianist and composer Ivo Neame reveals another side to his talents in this, the first CD to feature his compositions for large ensemble. A stellar international cast has assembled (virtually) in this lockdown-enabled collaboration which really picks at the boundaries of written music and improvisation.
Widely recognised for his contributions to the trio Phronesis and the Marius Neset Quintet, Ivo Neame is a very thoughtful and flexible pianist who is unafraid of challenging the norm and expressing himself in joining with other excellent musicians to create something special. Glimpses Of Truth was created in June 2020 when the world was in the grip of COVID and live work for musicians had dried up completely. Rather than bemoan his luck, Neame grasped the opportunity to engage colleagues from around the world to record themselves for his large group project.
The press release describes it as a ‘big band’, but I think that misses the point – not only is the line-up quite a long way from the norm (two drummers and multi-tracked saxophones, for example), the tonal palette achieved on these tracks is far greater than might be conveyed by thoughts of ranks of tuxedoed swingers. The seven tunes are complex and shifting, evolving as the minutes fly by, solos pop up and then dissolve, backing riffs drift past as if on a rhythmic river, with Neame’s piano playing a key role in pinning it all together.
The Rise Of The Lizard People opens with a lopsided rhythm, rippling piano and squalling saxophones with Jason Yarde’s baritone quickly coming to prominence. The two drummer line-up works very well indeed, with James Maddren (my drummer of 2021) and Jon Scott sharing precise work with Tom Farmer on bass. Nathaniel Facey’s alto saxophone gets a good feature, capturing the restlessness in his performance. The tune concludes with epic brass chords, which it’s hard to believe were recorded by players thousands of miles apart.

Strega, a real stand-out tune here, brings brass solos to the fore. Ingrid Jensen leads out on trumpet, before a written middle section gives way to a beautiful flugelhorn solo from Noel Langley. One distinctive feature of this album is that Neame recorded all the tutti sax lines by multi-tracking himself, which results in very tight and precise phrasing popping up. Broken Brains starts at a more measured pace, Gareth Lockrane’s flute setting the tone before a sweeping tenor saxophone solo by George Crowley.
Phasing Song has a touch of Steve Reich about it with phrases dropping in and out, reappearing at different beats and lots of counterpoint for the horns. Gilad Hekselman does a fine job of taking his guitar solo over these shifting rhythmic sands, sailing along before Neame takes over on piano and moves the music into a lower, slower gear for a reflective conclusion.
Perseverance Parts 1 and 2 are highlights, with a closely written textural opening dropping Neame into a glorious piano solo with (relatively) simple and effective rhythm accompaniment. Part 2 lets Jim Hart come to the front on vibes for an extended solo, where he also negotiates complex and shifting music including a vibes/piano/bass section of three-over-four which surely requires all concerned to pat their heads and rub their tummies simultaneously. Ghostly Figure evokes its titular image very well, with synthy backing, brass and some evocative trombone by Trevor Mires.
Glimpses Of Truth features some of the most engaging jazz you’ll hear this year, with plenty to enjoy on repeated listening and a wealth of talent all coming together in pursuit of Ivo Neame’s musical vision. Neame also mixed the recording, that being another part of his lockdown learning. The album is packed with musical richness and surprise, belying the distance in space and time between the musicians. An object lesson in making the most of what you have to stretch the boundaries and do something new.

The 1.5 km Rouge energy trail features the objects of renewable energy and their natural and technological application. The energy trail starts at the parking lot of Rouge Stronghold Hill and goes to Tindioru farm, where renewable energy is produced with the help of the hydropower station and two water rams; the trail proceeds to the artificial lake, where you can see a watermill at the overflow. Next the trail will take you to Rouge Basic School, which is heated by using geothermal and solar energy. In the school building you can visit the energy class. Rouge energy trail ends at the hydropower station of the Ala-Rouge Guesthouse.

I do not understand what is the point of energy trails. Anyways, There are 2 routes going from Rouge. Energy trail and Primeval hiking route. Energy trail is a short trail to stretch your legs if you need to get out of the car. Pretty trail. You can do a round walk around Rouge lake, to avoid returning same way.

Frequently Asked Questions about Rouge Energy Trail


A news report from the country shows soldiers carrying out simulations on how to render President Trump’s ships worthless by jamming their signals.
Russia has already reportedly sent ships to shadow a US fleet sent to threaten Kim Jong-Un’s secretive North Korea.
But it has emerged the US fleet is 3,500 miles off course.
The video issues a chilling message to Vladimir Putin’s enemies: “You don’t need to have expensive weapons to win, powerful radio-electronic jamming is enough.”
In the clip, an SU-24 bomber plane deploys its electronic jamming equipment called Kihbiny to wipe out a US destroyer’s systems, making it a sitting duck.
The military personnel claims it achieved this before, with a member of the USS Donald Cook reportedly saying afterwards: “The pride of our fleet became out shame.”
The report also shows how the Russians have developed further electronic technology to create “a dome of radio electronic jamming” preventing them from being seen by US planes.
It also shows Russian tanks dodging enemy missiles by using jamming techniques to send the rockets off-course.
Russia’s boasts come as tensions continue to rise between Putin, Trump and Kim Jong-Un.
Video footage, available above, appeared to show Russian military forces being moved on mass to the border with North Korea over the weekend as the world edges closer to World War 3.
The threat comes after warnings from top experts that North Korea will have as many as 60 nuclear weapons in just three years unless urgent action is taken.
Kim Jong-un has already warned North Korea is prepared for all-out war with the US.
In retaliation, footage of US warplanes preparing for battle was released as a chilling warning to the tubby tyrant.
Donald Trump is said to be “preparing to strike” amid growing tensions over North Korea’s nuclear weapons.
The US president appears to be ramping up his military capabilities after dropping a Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb (MOAB) on ISIS tunnels in Afghanistan last week.
And North Korea has reportedly been secretly working on a new missile for five years.

hugely ambitious new plans to overhaul Harrogate’s troubled rail services have been unveiled.
New stations, greater capacity, higher frequency and improved rolling stock are all included in the proposals put forward by Harrogate Chamber of Trade and Commerce.
Eight extra stations could be created between York and Leeds, including Bilton, Belmont, Knaresborough East, Nether Poppleton and Spen Lane/Woodside near Leeds. Cattal or Hammerton would be upgraded with park and ride facilities, which would also be included at new stops for Buttersyke Bar, Pool and Leeds Bradford Airport, all subject to investment and planning permission.
The trains would have around 40 per cent greater capacity and more standing room for short journeys. Services between Leeds, Harrogate and Knaresborough could be as frequent as every 15 minutes and trains between Harrogate and York could be every half hour.
Chamber chief executive Brian Dunsby said the plans were in line with a report by Sir Roy McNulty, looking at the future of railways through a series of locally-run pilots for low-cost, electrified trains. He is aiming to get Government funding for the project, which would cost more than £100m, but believes Harrogate is a prime candidate for it.
“The great thing about Harrogate is it’s segregated,” he said.
“Unlike Huddersfield to Leeds, which is part of the Transpennine Express, Harrogate to Leeds and Harrogate to York is an isolated line, we have no freight traffic and other routes or side connections.”
The group has used the technical expertise of Mark Leving, the former MD of Hull Trains, and wants to install a low-cost, ground level electrification system, similar to that used on the Docklands Light Railway.
It also hopes to buy rolling stock currently used in the Essex, Surrey ajd and London areas which is due to be replaced in 2014 and which the
believes will be much cheaper than new trains.
Mr Dunsby said, following a successful campaign to restore the direct rail link between Harrogate and London, he was confident the group could achieve its ambitious aims. This week, he presented the plans to Theresa Villiers, Minister for Transport, and a group of MPs whose constituencies would be affected by the plans, all of whom were supportive of the proposals.
Andrew Jones, MP for Harrogate and Knaresborough, praised the group for its hard work and said: “I am pleased to have played a part in bringing this proposal in front of MPs and ministers. It is an exciting plan and part of the ongoing work to improve rail services to our area – a key part of my priorities since I became a Member of Parliament.
“Better local services will support investment in our area, bring people to Harrogate for visits, for conferences and for shopping and help to underpin the local economy.”
The chamber has already secured backing from both main parties on Harrogate Council, with Lib Dem transport spokesman Coun Reg Marsh saying it “could definitely be the answer to rail travel within Harrogate district for the foreseeable future”.
Conservative council leader Coun Don Mackenzie said: “Our conference, exhibition and tourism industry would receive a great boost from this fundamental improvement to our rail infrastructure.
“There will be those who doubt that this scheme will receive the necessary funding at a time of financial constraints - but that is exactly when pilot projects, which offer great value for money and an economic boost, are most appreciated. We are going to back this bid to the full.”
Other key figures supporting the plans include the new director of Harrogate International Centre, Angus Houston, and Gary Verity, chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire. The chief executive of North Yorkshire County Council, Richard Flinton, has also backed the proposal.
The next step is to put together a detailed proposal for the Department for Transport in a bid to secure funding for the necessary research and feasibility studies. Mr Dunsby said he and Mr Leving, as well as the chamber as a whole, were willing to give up their time to organise the work because they believed so passionately in the project.
