He was a teenager when he moved to the United States in 1987 to pursue the American dream. In 1992, just 5 years after staying in the country, he had his first stint with comedy roles when he started performing at local Philadelphia clubs. With time, he began to participate in well-known competitions, such as the “Schlitz Malt Liquor Comedy Tour” held in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, in 1993, and the “Urban Comedy Festival” that took place in New York City in 1996. During the 2000s, he made his mark in famous comedy competitions such as the “Bay Area Black Comedy Competition” in Oakland and the “Laffapolooza Comedy Festival”.

He has also appeared on countless television shows, cementing his frame in the entertainment industry over the years. Here’s all we’ve got at the moment concerning his life, biography, and career accomplishments among other things.
Early Life: Childhood, Education
He was born on November 28 in 1972 in Ghana. His father, who unfortunately died in 2008, was known as Kwaku-Nsian Adom Bediako. His mother’s name is not known, but it is said that she worked in a secondary school when the comedian was still young.
Michael was brought up by his parents in Ghana. He moved to the United States during his teens, and resided in Newark, New Jersey initially before moving to Philadelphia a few years later.
There’s no information concerning his education right now.
His first introduction to comedy came during his time working Domino’s after a co-worker suggested he start an open mic.
Professional Life: Career in Comedy and Film
Michael Blackson first began receiving on-screen roles in the mid-1990s in the form of a single episode on “Snaps”. From there, he found his way into an episode of “ComicView” on BET and later in an uncredited role in the comedy film “Next Friday”.
In 2005, he released a comedy sketch CD which he titled “Modasucka: Welcome to America”. The project put him on the map as a reputed comic.
Also, he featured in a commercial for David Chappelle’s the “Chappelle’s Show” that year.
Mr. Blackson is presently represented by ICM Partners, which represents many known musical artists, actors, as well as comedians.
He has made appearances on Starz’s “Martin Lawrence Presents: 1st Amendment Stand-up”. Likewise, he has also appeared on Showtime’s “Shaquille O’Neal Presents All Star Comedy Jam”.

The comedian is yet to be married. But he has been in a relationship with Rada Darling for many years now. In 2001, during a radio interview on The Breakfast Club, he proposed to her. Shortly after that, the comic officially became a citizen of the United States.
Recently, reports started emerging, claiming that Brooklyn Nets player Ben Simmons has been making efforts to “steal” Michael’s fiancée out from under him. Whether the claims are genuine or not, it can be considered that his attempts have proven to be futile so far as the intending husband and wife are still having their romantic connection.
Prior to meeting Rada Darling, Michael was said to be dating Grammy-winning singer Georgia Reign for a long time. However, he was accused of infidelity, as he was once seen with another woman in a hotel. He later dismissed the allegations.
Asides from all that has been presented in this section of the actor’s life, nothing else is public information since he keeps his personal life very private.
His sexuality has also been questioned from time to time. But his engagement to Rada will hopefully clear the rumors for good.
He is 184 centimeters tall and weighs 86 kilograms.
Michael Blackson Net Worth: Salary, Income Sources, Assets
Michael Blackson’s net worth is estimated at $2 million. Thanks to his successfully career in the entertainment industry, he is a millionaire today having made his debut as a comedian in the 1990s.

Sometimes you have to know when to call it quits.
[Image via WENN.]
We can't think of a better way to celebrate the end of award show season than a 10 day getaway in Bora Bora for your honeymoon!
The first few months of 2015 were crazy for Benedict Cumberbatch.
The Imitation Game actor found out his now-wife Sophie Hunter was pregnant, he officially tied the knot, went to so many red carpets, and we're only two months into the year!
Now that everything settled down, the Oscar nominee is relaxing with his lady on the tropical islands and is doing all the things that tourists do — ever since they arrived last Tuesday!
An eyewitness on the island said Benedict was super excited when the two touched down for their vacation.
And Jimmy himself taught them all how to act in his very own Acting School!
There's even room for Matt Damon!
See the hilariously painfully lessons (below)!
OMG. They are so adorable!!
The Imitation Game star was obviously handsome in his black and white tux, but it was the pregnant Sophie who had our attention!
She showed off her burgeoning baby bump in a sexy one-shouldered red gown, complete with pinned sides and even a thigh-high slit. Benny must've been in awe!
And Sophie also finished off her slay-worthy ensem with gold accents and a retro, curled 'do.
Aww! We can't get enough!
[Image via AP Images.]
Every time we read the name Benedict Cumberbatch, we imagine Benedict Cumberbatch saying it aloud, and needless to say, we get chills.
It's a name as enigmatic as the Enigma Machine.
However, it's even more chilling to think that we could have easily never known Benedict Cumberbatch as Benedict Cumberbatch.
That's right, while talking to a group of film critics on Sunday, Benedict dropped some huge news:
They couldn't get any cuter if they tried!
This is impressive!
Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter got married in a quaint English ceremony over the weekend, but he was right back to work the next day!
The actor flew back to the States, and got to work by appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday night!
And he didn't look jetlagged at all!
But since it was clear Mr. Cumberbatch didn't get to go on his honeymoon yet, Jimmy tried to bring the honeymoon to the studio!
Did his attempt succeed?! Ch-ch-check it out (below)!
It sounds like Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter had the most romantical wedding ever!
Two days after the couple wed on Valentine's Day at St. Peter and St. Paul's Church in the Isle of Wight, additional details about the nuptials have been revealed.
According to sources, 100 family members and friends attended, including Benedict's The Hobbit co-star Martin Freeman.
Cumberbatch's rep gushed about the blessed day:

Establish the run game
LSU has won 13 straight games when its had a running back get more than 100 yards on the ground. The Tigers are 45-4 under Les Miles when that happens. So it’s no coincidence when LSU can find success running the ball, it typically finds a victory as well. That didn’t happen against Arkansas as the Tigers racked up only 101 yards rushing in Fayetteville. By now we know LSU’s offensive identity, and that’s dominating the trenches and pounding it at a loaded defensive front. The Aggies are the second worst SEC team in defending the run, surrendering 208.9 rushing yards per game. The Tigers’ offensive line will have more time to gel following the injuries that hurt them last week. That should help LSU win that battle, and as the stats show us, that will also likely mean a victory.
Contain A&M’s best defensive player
Texas A&M’s defense doesn’t exactly strike fear in its opponents. The Aggies are No. 13 in the SEC in run defense, No. 13 in pass defense and dead last in total defense. But there is one player on that Aggie unit that can change the game. Freshman Myles Garrett has lived up to his five-star billing and then some. He’s No. 2 in the conference with 11 sacks, No. 5 in the conference with 12.5 tackles for loss and he’s also got nine QB hurries to his credit. The Aggies will move him to both sides of the defensive line, so both La’El Collins and Jerald Hawkins will have to be ready for him. Look for the Tigers to give both tackles help from the tight end and guard spots, but if LSU can minimize Garrett’s impact, there isn’t much else threatening about the A&M defense.
Pressure the freshman quarterback
The nation’s No. 1 QB in the 2014 class is 2-1 as a starter for the Aggies, including a huge win at Auburn in his second career start. He’s thrown for a combined 514 yards and seven touchdowns in his two SEC starts. He’s thrown an interception in each of his last three games, and was sacked three times against Louisiana-Monroe — a 21-16 win for A&M — and also against Missouri — a 35-28 loss. The best way to rattle a young quarterback is to get in his face often. Expect LSU to mix up the blitz packages and look for both Danielle Hunter and Jermauria Rasco to be steady presences in the backfield. If they can force Allen to struggle, that’ll greatly limit what the Aggies can do on offense.

Cushings Syndrome - Symptom, Causes, Treatment of Cushings Syndrome
Cushing's syndrome is a condition that occurs when your body is exposed to high levels of the hormone cortisol for a prolonged period of time. Its main cause is prolonged exposure of the body's tissues to high levels of the hormone cortisol. Individuals with Cushing syndrome can develop moon facies, facial plethora, supraclavicular fat pads, buffalo hump, truncal obesity, and purple striae. The peak incidence of Cushing syndrome due to either an adrenal or pituitary adenoma occurs in persons aged 25-40 years. Cushing's syndrome happens for two reasons: Medication either causes the body to make too much cortisol, or the medication itself contains extra cortisol and taking it pushes the level above normal and A person's body makes more cortisol than it needs. Cushing's syndrome can occur in anyone but more commonly it occurs in adults aged 20-50 years. When the adrenal glands become overactive, the normal healthy control of Cortisol breaks down. When too much Cortisol is produced, Cushings is the result.
Symptoms of Cushings Syndrome
Common symptoms of Cushing's syndrome include upper body obesity, severe fatigue and muscle weakness, high blood pressure, backache, elevated blood sugar, easy bruising, and bluish-red stretch marks on the skin. Children tend to be obese with slowed growth rates.
Treatment of Cushings Syndrome
Treatment of Cushings Syndrome mainly depends on the specific reason for cortisol excess and may include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or the use of cortisol-inhibiting drugs. Surgery or radiotherapy may be used to treat pituitary adenomas. Surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or a combination of these may be used to treat ectopic ACTH syndrome. best treatment for you depends on the cause of the syndrome.

Squirrels found sick, dead after 'toxic substance' left in Richmond, B.C., park
VANCOUVER -- A number of squirrels have been reported sick or dead this month after a "toxic substance" was left in a park in Richmond, B.C., according to police.
Richmond resident Stephanie Payne says two of her friends were out for a walk in South Arm Park last Wednesday, when they came across multiple squirrels either deceased or in grave condition.
"They saw five squirrels that were pretty much almost dead," she said
One of the women immediately reported the distressed squirrels to the BC SPCA and the City of Richmond, which prompted firefighters and city staff to cordon off parts of the area for public safety.
Firefighters scoured the park and discovered a toxic chemical around some of the trees. The compound, known as 1-octanethiol, can cause headaches and vomiting in humans. If handled incorrectly, it can be deadly.
“We want to know who put it there and why it was put there,” says Cpl. Adriana O’Malley, spokesperson for Richmond RCMP.
Police confirm the toxic material has since been safely removed by an environment clean-up crew and the park is fully reopened.
As investigators search for a motive, Payne has her own suspicion of why a toxic substance was dumped in the park. She has frequented the greenspace for the past five years and in that time, she says the squirrel population has grown significantly. Payne believes someone must be fed up with the critters.
“There was so many," she said. "Now, I walk the park and am like why am I not seeing any squirrels? It’s just really odd.”
Payne’s friends have put up posters on trees throughout the park, warning pet owners and people with young children about the harmful chemicals. They’ve also spread the word in community groups online. Richmond RCMP is urging park users to be vigilant.
“If you’re going to the park and you start to see wildlife that appears sick or you’re finding deceased wildlife, make sure you contact the city of Richmond of police,” says Cpl. O’Malley.
Mounties says the chemical has not been found in any other parks so far, and there have not been any reports of people or family pets falling ill.
Anyone who has information on the incident, or who witnesses someone dumping substances at the base of trees in Richmond, is asked to call the RCMP at 604-278-1212. People who want to remain anonymous can instead call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Street Cleaning Days--No Parking!
Original post made by Paul Losch on Apr 24, 2013
The consequence has been that a huge pile-up of leaves and debris accumulate week by week, as the street cleaning machines have to by-pass the parked vehicles.
I lived for a number of years in San Francisco, in an area of town that allowed non-permitted street parking, except on street cleaning day. For a period of time on such days, no cars could be parked, those that were got fined big time, and the streets were nicely cleaner.
I don't object to the work goiong on in my parts.
What I question is why Palo Alto doesn't follow the same practices as many other municipalities, and on street cleaning days, restrict parking for vehicles for some or all of the day.

The educational programme of Art Space Pythagorion is based on the concept behind the exhibition's works, focusing on the students' empiric and psychological experiences through personal narratives and observations of society – how it was shaped by the crisis, immigration and economic shocks. Particular emphasis will be placed on the behavioral changes, individual and collective, caused by Political Melancholy, while historical examples of the depiction of Melancholy in art will be presented.
The educational program will focus on introducing the works in the exhibition through the creation of a “Notebook” which will include text corresponding to the different meanings of political melancholy, in order to poetically expressly content devised by the participants. Instead of protest slogans, a call for awareness and instead of violent provocations, shared expressions of common experience. The “Notebook” will be given to students in the form of 11 postcards with illustrations of the works of the exhibition.
The children will write on the back side of each card, based on their experience of the exhibition. This final "pack" of images and phrases will belong to the participating children who will then have the chance to send their cards wherever they wish. The cards will act as reminders of an era, their own era, an era which is looking for ways to escape from clichés and outside manipulation. These "quotes" and cards will later be used in school as a trigger for discussion, writing of reports or texts, theatrical events or the production of a publication. The idea is to build a personal Artbook that collects images and phrases while acting as a reflection of a time characterised by political melancholy and personal impasses.
The educational program is designed for children over 10 years old. Each session lasts for 2 hours.
After the start of the academic year, the program will also be addressed to students.
The creation, coordination and implementation of the program will be held for the third consecutive year by visual artist Katerina Zacharopoulou.

Madison Media has had a busy time in the last four months, starting April 2008. The Sam Balsara-led media agency has added big ticket accounts to its kitty in this period that include IndianOil, Max New York Life, Spice Jet, Bharti AXA Mutual Fund, Bharti AXA General Insurance, Bharti Retail and Bharti DTH. The cumulative size of these news wins is pegged at Rs 325 crore.
These wins come on the back of earlier wins that include BBC World Services Trust, Bacardi, Axis Bank, AOL and Lodha Group.
Speaking to exchange4media, a senior official in Madison Media said, “Madison has acquired all the new businesses in the past four months beginning April 2008, and, if scaled, the account sizes range from Rs 10 crore to Rs 100 crore.”
Commenting on the wins, Madison Media Group CEO Punitha Arumugam said, “Madison Media has never had a strategy for business development; our only business development tool is to delight our existing clients with outstanding delivery. In hindsight, this is the most effective and powerful new business strategy any agency can adopt.”

Why is the UK so slow when it comes to FAST?
With FAST platform operators cashing in on US television audiences, Nick Swimer looks at why free ad-supported streaming TV has been slow to infiltrate CTV media plans in the UK.
Free-ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) services flew out of the traps in the US and have been embraced by audiences and advertisers alike. The UK, however, is proving a more challenging market to disrupt – indeed, FAST services have got off to somewhat of a slow start.
The majority of homes in both the US and the UK have a connected TV, with a substantial number subscribing to multiple SVOD services. However, tens of millions more people are also finding and watching FAST channels in the US.
The FAST landscape is vast, with more than 1,400 channels across 22 networks. Big players include Pluto TV, which states it has over 60 million monthly active users. Paramount Global, Pluto TV’s owner, says it earned $1 billion in 2021.
In total, the US FAST channel sector is now apparently worth $4bn and counting – projections have estimated a total of $9bn by 2026.
The difference between the US and the UK
The rise of FAST does though seem counter-intuitive; the oft-intoned mantra of the streamers over the past decade has been that TV is dead and, save for must see live events, only on-demand can survive.
Clearly, that should be taken with a hefty pinch of salt (or preferred seasoning), as the future of content on connected TVs appears to be free ad-funded scheduled TV.
So, what is the difference between the US and the UK? Is it simply that the US is light years further down the road, and the UK is making its own steady progress, with growth to come?
Possibly. But unlike in the US, most UK homes already have access to Freeview (or Freesat) with thousands of hours of free premium TV available within moments.
TV set manufacturers like Samsung, LG and Sony provide built-in access to Freeview and the Freeview Play app. This also includes all BBC channels and BBC iPlayer, Channel 4 and Channel 5, ITV1, UKTV channels, as well as their respective digital channel services: E4 and Film4, the UKTV channels and all of their on-demand service, including the recently rebranded ITVX service.
Accordingly, it is going to be harder for FAST channels to get any type of real foothold in the UK. And that may be the reason why we haven’t seen a huge marketing push by any of the large FAST platform operators, whilst they continue to make hay in the US and explore their UK (and indeed European) strategy.
FAST channels are typically niche, dedicated to genres like procedural crime re-runs or cooking and sci-fi. The viewer that chooses to seek out this content via their FAST EPG – rather than heading to the usual Freeview EPG or broadcasters’ free on demand service – is likely to be highly particular.
However, make no doubt about it, FAST offers some very credible premium content to UK viewers who are able to look past the overwhelming choice and venture down that path.
The A in FAST
With an abundance of free premium content offered by traditional broadcasters – both via linear and on their BVOD services – what is the advertising opportunity in the UK?
FAST could be a brilliant solution to an advertising problem that doesn’t yet exist, but will advertisers really be thinking about the ability to target scheduled TV viewers at a cheaper CPT?
Furthermore, the fact that the UK has a plethora of content is not necessarily the defining difference between the US and UK.
The US advertising model for TV is far more localised – think Spring Sale at Bill’s Truck Shop on 5th and Acacia – which compliments FAST’s enhanced targeting capabilities.
And whilst we are unaccustomed to having anything less than regional macro advertising on TV (unlike old school cinema advertising) in the UK, advertisers can increasingly get access to that sort of targeting on the BVOD services or via linear solutions like Sky Ad Smart.
Worryingly though for FAST, a recent study from GroupM and iSpot found that 8-10% of connected TV ad impressions are being counted as delivered when the TV is turned off.
This may indicate that connected TV inventory still has teething issues. However, as Mike Follett explained in his recent piece, TV may in fact be an ‘attention bargain’; something to be seized by advertisers.
On average, a 30-second UK TV ad will receive 11.8 seconds of actual attention – dramatically more than other media.
However, the data shows that there are great variations between programmes, channels and dayparts and where FAST fits into the spectrum; ads shown next to some shows get noticed 60% of the time; ads next to other shows get noticed 16% of the time and FAST is unlikely to deliver the highly sought mass prime time audience that terrestrial TV delivers.
It’s difficult to see why the large agency groups would, right now at least, think that they desperately need to diversify their traditional TV or BVOD buys with a FAST channel buy – particularly where FAST is sold as an online programmatic bidding sitting within the overall digital display inventory column in a media plan.
However, as the younger demographic (18-34) increasingly look at alternative places for their content, and with a recent report from Amagi showing that the UK is actually the most advanced country in Europe when it comes to CTV adoption, it may soon be that FAST is able to get a little faster.

SPARC, the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition, has given its Innovator Award to the Stanford education professor.
By Caralee Adams for SPARC
John Willinsky first became an advocate for Open Access in 1998, after working on a collaborative project with a local Canadian newspaper and discovering he couldn’t re-publish his own research online with the package.
“That was a turning point,” said the 63-year-old professor of education at Stanford University. “I realized something was wrong with this picture.”
Willinsky realized that the legal barriers against sharing published research findings and the high cost of academic journals were keeping the public from having access to important work. That epiphany led Willinsky to look into the idea of how scholarly research could be shared freely. There was no formal Open Access movement at the time (since then, one has blossomed), so he began exploring options to promote his “free to read” idea.
“I realized I needed to give people something more than just an argument,” said Willinsky, who then came up with a solution that helped to actively transform the scholarly communication world.
In the late 1990s, Willinsky founded the Public Knowledge Project and developed Open Journal Systems, a free, open source platform that allows journals to be more easily and affordably published online. The results speak for themselves: today more than 1.5 million articles are published in journals using the OJS platform. In 2012 alone, over 5,000 journals published at least 10 articles using the software Willinsky and his team pioneered.
For this work, SPARC, the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition, has given Willinsky its semi-annual Innovator Award, which was established in 2006. The list of previous winners includes the journal PLoS One, the University of California and the World Bank.
“We’re proud to honor his rich contributions to changing the face of scholarly communication,” said Heather Joseph, executive director of SPARC, in a news release posted Jan. 27. “John is a rare combination of visionary and pragmatic. He understood the benefit of Open Access long before most people, and was also able to build infrastructure that has been absolute crucial to the successful advancement of Open Access journal publishing.”
Over the years, Willinsky has traveled the world from India to South Africa, working to convince people that putting journals online is cheaper and more effective than traditional publishing. Librarians have been his most consistent audience — and that’s fine with Willinsky. He feels a special connection to them; after all, he was president of his high school library club.
In pitching Open Access, Willinsky noted that he often weaves in stories of his personal and career experience, which has influenced his dedication to the free sharing of knowledge. He talks of his early professional days as a classroom teacher for more than a decade, introducing children to reading. He talks about the allure of libraries then, coupled with the important role they continue to play in expanding public access to digital information.
He also uses his experiences as associate professor of education at the University of Calgary in the 1980s, and Education Pacific Press Professor of Literacy and Technology on the Faculty of Education at the University of British Columbia in the 1990’s to inform his talks.
In 2008, he moved to Stanford’s Graduate School of Education, where his reputation goes beyond his scholarship and innovation. He’s the closest thing the school has to a rock star: when he’s not working, Willinsky plays guitar in a blues band. The group has been known to perform at academic confabs, including last year’s annual AERA conference, as well as at GSE gatherings in the lobby of Cubberly Hall.
At Stanford, his passion for opening up access to information has continued and flourished. Not only has it been the focus of his research, he helped to establish the Stanford GSE Open Archive, where faculty and students make copies of their peer-reviewed journal articles freely available to the public. And his work has made him a leader of the Open Access movement.
Willinsky is currently on sabbatical from the GSE and is now writing a book about the history of intellectual property. He is also the author of The Access Principle: The Case for Open Access to Research and Scholarship (MIT Press, 2006), Technologies of Knowing (Beacon, 2000) and Learning to Divide the World: Education at the Empire’s End (Minnesota, 2008), among other titles.
Willinksy has framed his commitment to Open Access as an issue of social justice. For Willinsky, Open Access is a way to positively impact the inequity in education that he had observed throughout his career. “It’s so basic in terms of a human right,” said Willinsky of access to knowledge. “The value of learning is in the sharing.”
Lynn Copeland, a former dean of libraries at Simon Fraser University (SFU) in British Columbia, Canada, described Willinsky as “impassioned” in his effort to get information beyond the richly resourced mainstream. “He is very committed to his work — and the social justice part of this is something that makes his life worthwhile.”
Brian Owen, acting dean of library services at SFU and a managing director of PKO, said that Willinsky is particularly driven to help those in the developing world. He wants to provide them with the tools they need to share their academic activities.
“John is frustrated by the fact that so many academics insist on living in ivory towers and do not get out there to be readily available,” said Owen, who began working with Willinsky about a decade ago on PKP. Rather than just being critical of the existing system, Willinsky aims to offer a tangible solution to help fix it. “One way to break down barriers is to provide software to publish online in scholarly journals,” explained Owen.
Willinsky’s commitment has influenced students. He has been not only an academic mentor but also has inspired many to care about issues of openness in research; last year Stanford GSE students resoundingly adopted a policy to make their research accessible to all. “He has a way of presenting that is charismatic, charming and eloquent,” said Juan Pablo Alperin, a 33-year-old Stanford doctoral candidate in education who helped to champion the student resolution and who has studied with Willinsky. “He’s done a terrific job of being the voice for Open Access.”
Alperin, whose research examines open access and scholarly publishing in Latin America, said Willinsky has been particularly successful in helping to give voice to people of limited means. The tools he provides freely with the Open Journal Software allow researchers in developing countries to publish journals in a way that lowers costs and increases quality. In Latin America alone, thousands of Open-Access journals have been launched using the platform developed by Willinsky. “It’s been a terrific service to that region of the world without the resources to be involved with commercial publishing,” said Alperin.
While the figures vary, Willinsky estimates that about 23 percent of the research produced in a given year is now published in Open Access journals. The landscape is changing rapidly, and Willinsky said he is encouraged by new policies promoting Open Access in the United States and abroad. There has started to be a shift in the balance of power in publishing. “We created a viable alternative,” he said.
“The key is raising expectations around the right to knowledge,” he added. “I am optimistic about the whole of [Open Access]. I am cautious about the financing and economics of it, but there is an inevitability to it — the whole movement about science taking back science.”
SPARC is an international alliance of academic and research libraries working to create a more open system of scholarly communication. Its membership includes nearly 800 institutions in North America, Europe, Japan, China and Australia. The SPARC Innovator Award is an initiative that recognizes an individual, institution or group that exemplifies SPARC principles by working to challenge the status quo in scholarly communication for the benefit of researchers, libraries, universities and the public.

Horse owners critical of state's handling of equine viral outbreak
Posted January 2, 2014
Raleigh, N.C. — Area horse owners said Thursday that they are upset about the way state veterinary officials handled a recent outbreak of a rare virus at a north Raleigh stable.
J&H Stables is closed and under quarantine after four horses there were diagnosed with Equine Herpesvirus-1 and subsequently euthanized. The contagious disease causes respiratory infection and neurological problems.
Horse owners said they feel accurate and necessary information about the outbreak didn't reach them in a timely basis. Many said they didn't find out about the outbreak for days after the state confirmed it on Dec. 27.
"It made me angry we weren't informed," said Annette Kenny, who coaches a competitive equestrian vaulting team.
Kenny's team usually practices on her property, but she has closed her operation down for at least two weeks.
"I don't want anyone near my horses that may have had interaction with other horses," she said. "At this point, we don't know how many infections ... there will be. Everybody is just scared and panicked right now."
Dr. Tom Ray, director of animal health programs for the state Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, said officials immediately notified equine boards and committees and alerted a distribution list of equine veterinarians about the outbreak. Postings on the department's website and Facebook page didn't appear for another three days, however.
"We really, honestly, make an effort to get that out and try to do it in all means possible," Ray said. "We didn't have confirmation (of an outbreak), but we went ahead and set quarantine, not knowing what we were dealing with."
Despite the concerns of horse owners, Ray said he believes the virus is under control.
"“We haven’t had a fever at the barn for over a week now and no clinical signs,” he said. "We're really confident and feel safe that things have run their course."
"If everyone's confident, then all the better, but for me it's wait and see," Kenny said.
J&H Stables will remain under quarantine for 28 days after the last fever is recorded to ensure no other horses are exposed to the virus.
It's unclear where the virus originated because it can spread through riding equipment, common water bowls and food buckets. Humans can transmit it through their shoes or clothing.
"It’s really animal-to-animal contact, primarily,” said Ray, who compared EHV-1 to a cold in humans. "The risk decreases dramatically when you get away from animal-to-animal contact or the inanimate objects that is coming in direct contact with nasal secretions.”
EHV-1 is often fatal because it cannot be treated. Symptoms include fever and neurological issues, such as lack of coordination and loss of balance.
The last known outbreak in North Carolina of this strain of the virus was two years ago. The illness affects only horses.
"I've had enough horses die that, believe me, it's the worst thing in the world," said Jimmy Lynn of Raleigh. "I don't want anything like that happening to any of my animals."


It's easy to get carried away while developing a product. Developers may feel the need to over-optimize the product from the outset, believing it will save time and resources in the long run. However, premature optimization during the software development workflow can delay and even derail the progress of a project.
While most developers know the adage by Donald Knuth, "Premature optimization is the root of all evil," it’s one of the most common mistakes developers make, particularly those working on tight deadlines or with limited resources at startups or tech companies.
In this article, we'll discuss premature optimization, why it's important to avoid it during development, and practical tips for doing so.
What Is Premature Optimization?
Premature optimization is optimizing code or system designs too early in the development process before considering other design and coding aspects. This can lead to wasted effort and resources, or worse, an inefficient system that takes longer to complete tasks than necessary.
Premature optimization often results from trying to solve a performance problem before understanding it fully and can lead to unexpected consequences. There is often a temptation to immediately try and make things as efficient as possible. However, this can be counterproductive if the underlying high-level language, architecture, or algorithms are poorly understood. It is important to focus on the core requirements of the application before investing time and resources into optimizing code or system designs.
In some cases, premature optimization happens even before product validation by users. Developers may feel the need to "over-engineer" designs and code before knowing if the product will even be successful. This leads to wasted time and effort that would be better spent addressing customer needs.
How to Avoid Premature Optimization
When developing software, it is important to focus on the core requirements before optimizing code or system designs. Take an iterative approach and be willing to revisit areas of optimization as the project progresses. It's also crucial to understand the requirements and design of the system before attempting optimization. Below are some tips for avoiding premature optimization.
Think Before Taking Action
Take the time to fully understand the problem before attempting any optimization. Make sure you know what needs to be done and how it should be done, and then you can determine how to do it efficiently. Premature optimization leads to inefficient solutions that would have been avoidable with just a bit of extra planning and thought.
While it may be tempting to jump straight into action, taking sufficient time to think things through saves time, resources, and energy in the long run and improves the quality of your solution. Be sure to:
- Analyze the scope and complexity of the problem
- Identify relevant elements for consideration
- Research existing solutions and best practices
- Brainstorm potential solutions
Optimize Smarter, Not Harder
When it comes to optimization, the rule of thumb is to optimize smarter rather than harder. This means considering the potential outcomes. Rather than trying to optimize every little thing, it's helpful to determine which areas have the most impact and then focus your efforts on those. Additionally, remember small efficiencies that help improve the performance of a product.
For example, consider the areas of your product with the most customer interaction. These are usually where optimization can make a huge difference. Also, consider areas where optimization may be difficult or time-consuming and weigh the potential outcomes against the effort involved. This helps you focus on the areas with the most beneficial results for your product.
Don't Fix What's Not Broken
It can be tempting to perform a few tweaks or improvements to make something work better. As Knuth said, if premature optimization is the root of all evil, then don't optimize what isn't needed. But if it already works well, don't spend time trying to improve it. Developers should focus on fixing existing issues and addressing current usability problems before attempting more advanced optimization techniques. This is the best way to ensure that time, effort, and resources are effectively used.
Collect User Feedback
Before undertaking any optimization, it is vital to understand how users interact with your product. Developers gain insights into user behavior, preferences, and needs through feedback. User feedback helps prevent premature optimization by determining what changes matter to the user.
Collecting user feedback has several benefits in avoiding premature optimization:
- The feedback provides insight into how users interact with the product
- It helps developers identify areas of improvement in the user experience
- It enables developers and programmers to create a better user experience
- It provides essential data structures used to inform product decisions
There are many ways to collect user feedback, including:
- User testing
- Analytics tools
- Focus groups
Developers analyze feedback and use it to inform product design. This can help prevent premature optimization, as developers will make decisions based on data from real users rather than assumptions. Collecting user feedback can help ensure that optimizations enhance the user experience, not just create extra work.
Stay on Top of Performance Bottlenecks
Performance bottlenecks are the parts of the software that tend to slow down its performance. Identifying and addressing these bottlenecks is crucial to ensure that the software maintains a good level of performance. The best way to do this is to monitor performance metrics and analyze how different parts of the software perform.
Examples of performance bottlenecks include:
- Inefficient memory management
- Inefficient algorithms and code blocks
- Incorrect hardware sizing
- Database query optimization
- Long-running loops or recursive functions
- Network latency or slow internet connection
The bottlenecks can be identified using performance monitoring tools. Additionally, developers should use techniques like code refactoring to address performance issues. By regularly monitoring and managing the bottlenecks, developers can ensure their software runs smoothly and avoid premature optimization.
Create Realistic Performance Goals
While performance tuning can be vital to optimizing a system, creating realistic performance goals during the design process is important. Doing so will help avoid premature optimization. The goals set should be:
Performance goals help determine the project's scope and sharpen the focus on important tasks. They also provide a baseline for measuring and tracking progress. Practical performance goals should be set to ensure they are achievable yet challenging and require effort. Doing this will save valuable development time on tasks. It will also help maintain the optimal design of the system with no unnecessary performance overhead.
Consequences of Over-Optimization
When it comes to optimization, too much of a good thing can be detrimental. Focusing too much on optimizing code and searching for the most efficient solutions can lead to unintended problems. They include:
- Slower development cycle: Due to the intensive focus on optimization, development cycles tend to be slower than usual. While a developer or programmer attempts efficiency, they also add additional time and effort in debugging and refining code. As a result, new products or features may take longer to reach the market, leading to missed opportunities.
- Reduced scalability: Over-optimized code may be more efficient in the short term but does not scale well over time. Over-optimized code may become outdated and rigid as the system grows with more updates. This can lead to inefficiencies, as software engineers may need to rethink infrastructure capabilities as time progresses.
- Increased complexity: Optimized code is often designed with specific parameters, but this can lead to a more complex system that is difficult to maintain. When code is heavily over-optimized, it becomes easy to overlook dependencies and special cases, creating a need for more debugging and maintenance.
- Poorly written code: The most serious consequence of over-optimization is poorly written code. Optimizers may sacrifice readability and maintainability because the focus is on reducing the number and size of operations to improve performance. This can make it difficult for other developers to understand the code, leading to inefficient maintenance.
Hire the Right Team for Software Optimization
Premature optimization is inefficient in software development and may undoubtedly live up to its nickname as the root of all evil. To avoid this costly and time-consuming pitfall effectively, having the right team with the right software optimization skills is crucial.

Resources Top 5: A rutile-graphite monster emerges
Link copied to
Here are the biggest small cap resources winners in early trade, Tuesday April 5.
Following a resource upgrade, SVM’s ‘Kasiya’ project in Malawi is now the largest rutile deposit (18Mt) and second largest graphite deposit (23Mt) ever discovered.
That 18Mt contained rutile puts Kasiya miles ahead of its closest competitors. Just check this out:
Rutile is the rarest, highest grade and most valuable source of titanium.
Meanwhile, each electric vehicle requires ~55kg of flake graphite to make the battery anode.
Both markets have strong outlooks.
The deposit grade is also high at 1.64% RutEq, SVM says.
A 2021 project scoping study – the first proper look at the economics of building a mine – will now be updated to examine the impact of higher grades, increased production volumes, and increased mine-life.
It is targeted for completion in Q2 this year. A more advanced prefeasibility study is targeted for completion in early 2023.
“It is a remarkable achievement by our team to have made the largest natural rutile discovery ever in just two years since initial identification,” SVM managing director Dr Julian Stephens says.
“The JORC MRE of this scale and grade is clearly highly strategic, Tier 1 and of global significance in a market where natural rutile is in extreme supply deficit.
“The step-change in scale will now allow us to examine potentially higher-grade throughput, increased production levels and a longer mine life in the upcoming Scoping Study update.
“The company is targeting a large-scale, low carbon-footprint and environmentally sustainable natural rutile and graphite operation which will also positively impact the environmental footprint of titanium pigment and other industries and provide a significant contribution to the economy of Malawi.”
The $311m market cap stock is up 33% year-to-date. It had $3.7m in the bank at the end of December.
FG1 hit the boards last year with a focus on underexplored northeast Tassie, where the company believes there are ‘Fosterville-style’ gold deposits to be found.
Its main game is the ‘Golden Ridge’ and ‘Portland’ projects, where drilling is ongoing.
In early 2022, it picked up some gold-lithium project tenements in WA, which were the focus of a company presso released today.
The 1232sqkm lithium-gold portfolio is near the world class Pilgangoora, Wodgina, Mt Holland and Mt Cattlin lithium deposits.
‘Mt Dove’ in the Pilbara includes multiple gold-lithium targets located just 11km from the 6.8Moz Hemi gold project and along strike from Kairos’ Kangan gold-lithium target.
On ground exploration to commence at Mt Dove in May/June 2022, FG1 says.
FG1 also has plans to further increase the size and quality of its lithium-gold portfolio in 2022.
The $12.5m market cap stock is up 33% year-to-date. It had $6.9m in the bank at the end of December.
(Up on no news)
The newly listed stock is focused on lithium, rare earths, gold, and base metals in the mineral rich Lachlan Fold Belt of NSW.
The company is taking a “multi-commodity, multi-deposit style approach to exploration” at the flagship ‘Bateman’ project, MMC chief exec Clinton Carey says, starting with the important — but relatively boring – early stage stuff.
In late March it said that over 2,700 portable XRF readings at Batemans had shown widespread anomalous rare earths.
While XRF technology is not as reliable as lab assays in reflecting the amount of contained mineralisation, it is still a respectable indicator.
The results show anomalous rare earth results extend along major structures over multiple strike lengths “generating a mineralised target area greater than 4km and up to 800m wide”, MMC says.
Assay results are pending and anticipated shortly.
The $6.2m market cap stock is up ~20% year-to-date. It had ~$4.3m in the bank at the end of December.
(Up on no news)
This quiet tiddler is drilling to grow the 38,000t copper, 535t cobalt ‘Tollu Copper Vein’ deposit, part of the ‘West Musgrave’ project in WA.
Tollu hosts “a giant swarm of hydrothermal copper rich veins” in a mineralised system covering a +5sqkm area, ~40km from OZ Minerals’ (ASX:OZL) world-class Nebo-Babel nickel-copper deposit.
A conceptual (theoretical, not real yet) exploration target suggests up to 627,000t of copper may be present, the company says.
RDS says deeper RC drilling program at priority targets will kick off in the first half of 2022.
“Timing for this drilling is subject to Redstone securing a suitable RC drill rig that can accommodate deeper drilling and the necessary personnel,” it said January 31.
The $9m market cap stock is up 20% year-to-date. It had ~$2m in the bank at the end of December.
(Up on no news)
This iron ore-nickel-cobalt explorer/project developer has been largely MIA in 2022.
In February last year, ADY signed a deal to hopefully commercialise its Mariposa iron ore project in Chile.
Under the contract, Chinese company Hainan fully funds mining and construction “with all capital contributions, security, legal costs, risks and potential losses borne by Hainan solely”.
The deal covers the first 2 million tonnes of iron ore. Admiralty will get a ‘laddered’ royalty rate up to 7 per cent per tonne of iron ore produced if the price stays above US$90/t.
In its Dec quarterly the company said it was “now progressing to settling a final Joint Venture Agreement between the Company and Hainan”.
Start of construction was pencilled in for end of May 2022.
“The Company notes that delays in settling the Joint Venture Agreement and enabling commencement of activities at Mariposa were largely due to COVID-19 related travel disruption, particularly given Hainan’s operations team have previously been unable to apply for visas to enter Chile, however this process is now underway,” it says.
The 420m market cap stock is up 80% year-to-date. It had $1.7m in the bank at the end of December.

Metronomy 'Salted Caramel Ice Cream' by Joseph Mount
Metronomy frontman Joseph Mount's second video for the band, following the recent Lately, is a dancefloor-ready comedy about gentrification and ice cream.
The visual stars Metronomy’s members as an ice cream vendor, his fluffy partner, their 80s trendy focus-group rivals, who open a rival gelato stand, and a parlour band - and all is revealed about the unlikely emergence of salted caramel ice cream.
The lighthearted, and lo-fi vibe has the cuddly artifice of little kids' TV shows like The Hoobs and The Tweenies (perhaps with a dash of peerless kids TV spoof, Don't Hug Me I'm Scared). But perhaps surprisingly, Mount cites Rammstein as the influence for his "lolathon” visual.
“Years ago a friend of mine gave me a VHS tape of the MTV show 120 Minutes,” said Mount of the video’s inspiration. “It’s something I’d get him to do every so often as I was a bit obsessed with music TV at the time. On one particular tape was the video for ‘Sonne’ by Rammstein, I’d never seen them before and it blew my mind. This video is a sort of homage to that, but with an added story about the gentrification of ice cream parlours.”

It has been a couple of weeks since Samsung unveiled its new Gear 360 rotating camera at the company’s Unpacked event held in New York. (Also read: Top announcements from March 29th Samsung Unpacked event).

This month our CEO, Sam Knights, shared his insights on the future of ad targeting with a leading online resource for customer experience professionals, MyCustomer. Sam explores how retailers hold the keys to ethical data use, outlining four key strategies to stay ahead and build lasting trust with your audience.Here are our key takeaways…
Growing Concerns About Privacy and Data Usage
With 11 US states implementing consumer privacy laws and 81% of consumers expressing worries about how companies handle their personal data, brands are increasingly concerned about the impact on advertising targeting and personalization. The impending cookie-pocalypse adds to these concerns, as brands fear less relevant ads and decreased returns on ad spend.
Retail Media Networks as a Privacy Solution
In Europe, where data protection laws are stringent, retail media networks are emerging as a solution to privacy challenges. Retailers, as primary data owners with explicit, permission-based data linked to shopping behaviours, are in a powerful position. Responsible data collection and permissions provide advertisers with significant opportunities to leverage these networks for more effective and targeted campaigns.
Key Considerations for Advertisers in Europe
Advertisers in Europe are encouraged to embrace retail media networks to navigate privacy legislation and consumer concerns. Four key areas of consideration include:
Building a privacy-compliant tech stack: Ensuring all elements comply with privacy regulations and adapting dynamically to changes.
Earning customers’ data: Providing value and transparency to customers when collecting data, with examples like loyalty schemes offering preferential pricing.
Using data effectively: Balancing granularity and scale in customer targeting to avoid wastage.
Linking data back into the store: Leveraging first-party data in an omnichannel way, such as using digital screens to target customers in-store based on their preferences.
Success Hinges on Ethical Data Use
Ultimately, success in navigating the privacy landscape is tied to ethical data use. Advertisers must do the right thing for customers, providing value in exchange for data and using it responsibly. Building trust over time enhances the brand's reputation and increases the value of media for advertisers.
Stay at the forefront of the advertising revolution and discover how retail media is shaping the future of ad targeting by exploring the complete article here.

Eighty percent of physicians believe that within 5 years, virtual assistants will drastically change how they interact and use electronic health records and other healthcare apps, according to a recent survey of U.S. doctors.
Siri and her siblings may be multiplying into the healthcare arena. Eighty percent of physicians believe that within 5 years, virtual assistants similar to the one used by the iPhone will drastically change how they interact and use electronic health records (EHRs) and other healthcare apps, according to a recent survey of U.S. doctors by technology company Nuance Communications. Respondents said that they expect the technology will make them more efficient and free up time to spend on patients.
Responding physicians said that mobile virtual assistants could impact healthcare most by helping them access information in EHRs and navigate through the process using conversational commands. One out of three doctors answering the survey said they spend 30% or more of the day on administrative duties, activities that could be redirected or removed using voice-enabled virtual assistants.
“Mobile virtual assistants have the potential to reinvent the way we deliver patient care,” says Alireza Shafaie, MD, of the Palo Alto Medical Foundation. “As a consumer, I already experience the value of mobile assistants and would love to bring that natural, intelligence-based dialogue to my work as a primary care physician. For every one patient I see I have to communicate my recommendations in three different places. A mobile adviser that could do that on my behalf in one shot would give me back more time in what truly matters: time with my patients.”

Path Of Exile Takes Advantage Of D2's Art Style In A 3D Graphics Engine
Path of Exile seems a lot like the hack'n'slash RPG of the newest generation of COD gamers and the like. The game is considered by many to be the true successor to the Diablo crown. It's very fast paced, you don't have to put much into it, especially cerebral thought, and it's designed for drop in and out gameplay. It's grim, it's dark and it's character customisation is through the roof. Players are invited to view website to know more news and guides.
Simply put, Path of Exile takes advantage of D2's art style in a 3D graphics engine, for all intents and purposes. This game is D2 in terms of combat flow. D2's combat perfected, it is an absolutely beautifully designed combat engine that captures D2's combat. When it comes to character customisation, to start off with, any of the classes are capable of doing anything. A witch, with enough strength, can wield a two handed sword, a marauder can use a bow, a ranger can cast magic.
Path of Exile will be the game for those who want to play a gorgeous mishmash of Diablo 1 and 2, fully embodying the themes, art style and gameplay of those two games. It's hard to compare Path of Exile with Diablo 1 and 2, it's trying to do something completely different and clinging to it's Diablo 1 and 2 roots as hard as it can, whilst the other two are trying to mess around with things and make the games a lot more actiony in play style.
Path of Exile is not designed for casual gamers, more players will be able to buy cheap path of exile currency from U4GM, this is a well-known website. I agree completely that Path of Exile does so much better than Diablo but trying to find a credible website to know more news about the game. Indeed Path of Exile is a lot about learning the game. It's crazy deep and requires to buy poe currency and path of exile items.

This PERC Policy Series explores the underlying issues fueling grazing conflicts in the West, as well as what might be done to resolve them.
Holly Fretwell, Shawn Regan
Nearly half of the West is owned by the federal government. In this new report, PERC researchers find that the federal government loses money managing valuable natural resources on federal lands, while states generate financial returns.
PERC's new Policy Perspective explains how the government keeps tribes from developing their natural resources.
Most claims of environmental good from recycling are myths. Recycling often uses more resources than it saves.
This essay, "Eight Great Myths of Recycling," by Daniel K. Benjamin, exposes the errors and falsehoods underlying the rhetoric. It clarifies the appropriate role of recycling, based on history and market relationships.

Trademarking a logo with different sub-parts
In Logos - updated on 11/11/2009
Hello, I would like to trademark my company's logo (a nicely-designed image). The logo has space for a short phrase, and we have picked out several phrases that we like.
Would we have to file for a trademark for each logo+phrase combination, or is there a way to combine all of them into one filing (one trademark + minor variations). If not, would it be reasonable to just trademark the logo and then put the phrases in surreptitiously later? Or is it better to have full protection ...

This image of lemons helps women identify signs of breast cancer
One woman has shared how this picture helped her.
An American woman has posted a picture of some lemons to help other women identify signs of breast cancer.
Every few weeks you probably get a chain mail of some sorts into your inbox on Facebook. It will ask you to post a status about your bra colour, your favourite fruit or simply post a heart on your wall, and it will state that it raises awareness for breast cancer.
Erin Smith Chieze has spoken out about why she will not be sharing these types of 'games' on Facebook.
''In the past few days, I have received quite a few private messages about a "game" going around where you post a heart, then you are secretly supposed to state it is for breast cancer awareness. This is my response to all of these messages.'' She said.
She then said that real, practical information is the only thing that helps to raise awareness.
''Someone once posted a picture on Facebook of what breast cancer can look like. Not feel, but look like. In December of 2015 when I saw an indentation that looked like one of those pictures, I instantly knew I had breast cancer. I tried to feel for a
''In December of 2015 when I saw an indentation that looked like one of those pictures, I instantly knew I had breast cancer. I tried to feel for a tumor, but my tumor was non palpable. I was diagnosed with breast cancer 5 days later and with stage 4 the following month.'' She said of her own diagnosis.
''A heart did nothing for awareness. I knew what breast cancer was. I knew all about self exams, but a picture of what to look for keyed me into knowing I had a terminal disease. We need to give REAL information, not cute hearts. Without having seen a picture randomly with real information, I wouldn't have known what to look for. Do us a favor, stop playing games with my life and start truly helping people. Metastatic breast cancer treatment research and real awareness.'' She said.
''PLEASE, stop playing games that do not actually promote awareness, they often cause people to tune out anything that might even mention the word awareness. So if you truly want to help people WITH cancer, or those who will GET cancer, share photos like this one.'' She added, along with the picture.
The picture, which is part of the know your lemons campaign, gives a clear guide about when you should be concerned regarding your breasts.
So perhaps the next time you are invited to share a random colour or fruit as a status on Facebook, share something practical and useful like this, instead.

We are staunch advocates of CBD and its many, amazing, scientifically-backed uses. We are also staunch advocates of our patrons and their access to the highest quality, 100% organic CBD products around. Getting the information you need, the exact product you want, and a no hassle transaction with no attached shipping charges – that’s what we are all about.
To determine the purity and potency of every batch of Hemp cannabis oil each individual extraction is analyzed through a High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) system, a Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) system, and other methods to test for aerobic organisms, yeast, fungus, E. coli, pesticides, heavy toxic metals, cannabinoid potency, and terpenes.
Sativex, a cannabis plant–derived oromucosal spray containing equal proportions of THC and CBD, has been approved in a number of countries for use to treat specific types of pain. Numerous randomized clinical trials have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of Sativex for treatment of central and peripheral neuropathic pain, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer pain.
For patients suffering from seizures, the legalization of cannabis would be a decisive turning point. Epilepsy makes you desperate. Seizures are painful, sometimes debilitating. And then there are the aftershocks: broken teeth, bruises and cuts, lost time, humiliation. People with epilepsy are often depressed, and have more than double the suicide rate of the population at large. Epilepsy is also associated with a syndrome known as Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy, wherein a previously healthy person with epilepsy simply dies without warning or explanation. Grinding on without relief isn’t an option, but getting help is enormously expensive. Research conducted by Charles Begley, a professor of public health at the University of Texas, found that epilepsy treatment costs between $8,500 and $11,000 per year. Real Scientific Hemp Oil is no less expensive than its pharmaceutical counterparts, with no assistance from insurance. A single three-gram vial costs $149, while a six-pack of 10-gram tubes can cost $1,999 (or $1,599 on sale). HempMedsPx suggests a “serving size” of 0.5 ml twice daily. Only when these drugs are recognized as such will insurance pick up the tab.
This safe and carefully tested CBD for Pets Blend by Herbal Renewals is the ideal food supplement for your four-legged friend. Created using high-quality hemp oil and coconut oil, you can feel confident that you’re giving your pet the very best. Simply calculate the recommended serving size by your pet’s weight and add a few drops to their food, twice daily.
As mentioned previously, while CBD-dominant products help some people sleep, in others it promotes wakefulness. Orally administered THC, especially products from heavier “Kush” strains and Purple cannabis varieties, are very effective for sleep disorders. These tend to be high in myrcene and linalool, a terpene shared with lavender and known to be effective for relaxation. Cannabis combinations with ratios of 1:1, 4:1, or 24:1 CBD:THC can be used when patients want to reduce psychoactivity.
Some companies will hide under a cloak of darkness that the Internet can provide, but it’s a pretty good sign if the company lists an honest-to-goodness phone number you can use to reach real people. The companies with inferior products will often be very difficult to reach. Before ordering, try to reach out to the company. If someone picks up the phone or gets back to you in a timely manner, you’ve probably found a company that not only takes accountability seriously, but cares about their customers and the quality of their products.
I lean over to sniff one of the powdery, tightly clustered flower buds, purple-brown and coursing with white wisps. These tiny trichomes fairly ooze with cannabinoid-rich resin. This strain is called Highway Man, after a Willie Nelson song. Hybridized by Hague, it’s a variety loaded with THC. The best parts will be trimmed by hand, dried, cured, and packaged for sale at one of Mindful’s dispensaries. “This whole room will be ready for harvest in just a few days,” Hague notes with the subtle smirk of a competitive breeder who’s won international awards for his strains.
Cannabidiol is a Schedule II drug in Canada. As such, it is only available with a prescription. It is available as a spray, called Sativex produced by GW Pharmaceuticals in the UK, for use in multiple sclerosis. The Canadian Government announced that October 17, 2018 is the date when marijuana can be consumed recreationally without criminal penalties, indicating that various cannabidiol products will be freely available to adult consumers.
