Actor, Producer, Activist
Daniel Dae Kim has captivated global audiences with his transformative performances across film, television and theater. His body of work continues to evolve with powerful roles and compelling narratives as an actor, director and producer.
Up first, Kim will appear in an episode of BJ Novak’s The Premise. The show is a fearlessly ambitious new series that uses comedy to engage with the biggest issues of our unprecedented modern era. His episode, “Butt Plug”, tells the story of a once-poor child of immigrants, who has now become one of the world’s richest men presents a chance at redemption to his former school bully: an uninterrupted hour with his board of directors to pitch a very specific product.

The series features eight, half-hour episodes, each told from a female point of view.

Kim’s production company, 3AD, which specifically develops content featuring characters that are traditionally underrepresented, in front of, and behind the camera, is extremely active with several projects in development, through a first look deal with Amazon. For the past five years 3AD has produced the hit ABC show, The Good Doctor, which is a one-hour drama featuring a doctor with autism, which Kim adapted from a Korean format – he also serves as Executive Producer. Additionally, a dramedy series entitled Shoot the Moon starring Ken Jeong was just greenlit at Amazon.

Kim has also voiced characters for several video games, most notably, Johnny Gat in the bestselling series, Saints Row.

Rabbi Hazzan Dr. Jeffrey Myers has served as the Rabbi and Cantor for Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh since the summer of 2017. He moved to the City of Bridges after spending decades in ministry in New Jersey and Long Island. After the horrific morning of October 27, 2018, when a heavily armed gunman began a murderous rampage in the Tree of Life synagogue, Rabbi Myers—who survived the attack—became the face of the tragedy. Since then, he has set about sending the key message that love is stronger than hate. Rabbi Myers has frequently shared this view on national media outlets, while acknowledging that a lack of understanding of our neighbors leads to fear and sometimes loathing. Fear leads to the “H word” and the “H word” leads to act of violence. Rabbi Myers believes that if we are ever to remove the “H word” from our society, it must start with pledging not to use that word in speech, just as he has done in honor of the 11 precious lives lost at the Tree of Life Synagogue.
In 2018, he received an honorary doctorate in Jewish Music from The Jewish Theological Seminary, and an honorary doctorate of divinity from Washington & Jefferson College.

(CNN) — task Artemis I The flight took off early this Wednesday morning after months of anticipation. This historic event launched a mission to send an unmanned spacecraft around the Moon, paving the way for NASA to return astronauts to the lunar surface for the first time in half a century.
The 322-foot-tall (98-meter-tall) Space Launch System rocket ignited its engines at 1:47 a.m. Miami time. It delivered 9 million pounds (4.1 million kilograms) of thrust from the launch pad in Florida and soared into the air, pulsing through the night sky.
On top of the rocket is the Orion spacecraft, a candy-shaped capsule that will separate after reaching space. Orion is designed to carry humans, but its passengers for this test mission are of the inanimate variety, including some dummies collecting vital data to help future live crews.
In just a few minutes, as the SLS expends its millions of pounds of fuel, parts of the rocket begin to break apart until Orion is left with a large engine. That engine will release two powerful burns over the next hour and a half, putting the spacecraft on course for the Moon. Then, after about two hours, the rocket motor will drop out, allowing Orion to fly freely for the rest of its journey.
According to NASA, Orion is expected to travel about 1.3 billion miles (2 million kilometers). After orbiting the Moon, Orion will complete its journey in about 25.5 days and return. The capsule is scheduled to splash down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego on December 11, with rescue teams waiting nearby to bring it to safety.
Throughout the mission, NASA engineers will closely monitor the spacecraft’s performance. The team will assess whether Orion is performing as planned and is ready to support its first crewed mission to lunar orbit, currently scheduled for 2024.
The mission marks the first flight of the SLS rocket, with 15% more thrust than NASA’s Saturn V rocket that landed on the moon in the 20th century, more powerful to reach Earth orbit.
This is the first in what is expected to be a long series of increasingly difficult Artemis missions as NASA works toward its goal of establishing a permanent outpost on the moon. Artemis II will follow the same trajectory as Artemis I but carry astronauts on board. Artemis III, planned for later this decade, is expected to bring a woman and a person of color to the lunar surface for the first time.
Ahead of Wednesday’s launch, the mission team faced several hurdles, including technical problems with the lunar megarocket and two cyclones passing through the launch pad.
Feeding the SLS rocket supercooled liquid hydrogen has been a major problem, forcing NASA to halt previous liftoff attempts, but on Tuesday, despite the leak problems, the tanks were filled as the fuel supply was cut off hours before launch.
“On behalf of all the men and women of our great nation who worked to unite this team to make this day possible, and for the generation of Artemis, this is for you,” said Publishing Director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson. Artemis.

Discussion in 'PC hardware help' started by p4_tt, Jan 18, 2005.
Are intel motherboards any good?
intel as made by intel or for intel cpus
Yes but apart from the "made for the cpu" whats the chipsets on intel boards like and are they any good for overclocking?
my ecs p4vxasd2+ is via chipset but my 2.4 celeron is locked but have noticed on some of my customers' computers with same board but with 1.7 & 1.8 celerons can be changed in bios for oc
My MSI board locks the OC in the bios i have to clock it via CoreCenter when the PC is running, that’s why i was thinking about a Intel board, they make them so i was thinking they may be clocked easier
Intel motherboard are good at what they're designed to do. That is, they're very stable runnning your Intel CPU at stock speed. Unfortunately, they're also pretty expensive for boards that ONLY do that.
You're MUCH, MUCH, MUCH better off buying a motherboard from Abit or Asus. They'll let you overclock your Intel CPU, for HUGE performance gains and your system will still be rock-solid stable... as long as you don't overclock the CPU to insane limits!
Personally, I have a 2.4 GHz Intel P4 CPU running at 3.2 GHz on an Abit IC7-Max3 motherboard. Basically, I have achieved a 800 MHz overclock, just by changing a couple of settings in the system BIOS. Compare the price of a 2.4 GHz processor to a 3.2 GHz processer, and you'll see why people love to overclock. Also, you don't need any fancy cooling unless you're overclocking to insane limits. I'm just using the stock heatsink/fan combo that came for free with the Intel processor, and I'm still getting an 800 MHz overclock.
There are other HUGE benifits to overclocking too, that I won't go into [i.e., faster memory transfer and front-side-bus (FSB) speeds]. Read this to understand what's involved:
Check out these motherboard manufacturer web-sites:
Then, go www.pricegrabber.com or www.nextag.com to compare prices between online vendors. Or, just buy from www.newegg.com
There is no way I would EVER by a new motherboard now, that didn't have the ability to overclock. You just get more performance from whatever CPU you're gonna use for free!
Don't go with the Intel board if you want to OC you can only get a 4% in the bios.I have a D865PERLL it is a great board for what I use it for(Home Office)very stable.Asus or Abit are the boards to check out if you want to OC.Here is a great link for OC'ing
Thanks for all the info guys, i think i will give intel a miss and go for a Asus or Abit.
Separate names with a comma.

Welcome to Wyoming
Visit Keyhole State Park
Keyhole State Park is between Sundance and Moorcroft on the edge of the Black Hills. It is within sight of Devils Tower. The reservoir offers excellent fishing for walleye, catfish, small mouth bass and northern pike.
Keyhole State Park takes its name from Keyhole Reservoir near Moorcroft. The reservoir offers a variety of fishing and water sports opportunities in addition to camping, picnicking, hiking and bird-watching. Keyhole also offers some of the best snowmobiling in the state during the winter. The mountains that surround Keyhole form the western boundary of the famed Black Hills.
Antelope, whitetail deer and wild turkeys are often seen in the area. The lake is one of the better places in the state to go after the elusive walleye and northern pike. For easy access, a road leads to Keyhole State Park eight miles from Interstate 90 between Sundance and Moorcroft.
Visit Devils Tower National Monument
Anchoring the northeast corner of Wyoming is the country’s first national monument—Devils Tower. A laccolithic butte that is made up of igneous rocks, Devils Tower is a jaw-dropping geological feature that rises 867 feet above Wyoming’s rolling prairies.
While Devils Tower National Monument garnered significant attention as the backdrop in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the tower is sacred to many Northern Plains Indian tribes, as well as the Kiowa Tribe, who made their homes in the Black Hills region. With oral storytelling and a history that dates back thousands of years, today American Indian tribes continue to hold sacred ceremonies at the tower, including sweat lodges and sun dances. With a rich history that combines the country’s First Nations with cowboys, rock climbers and incredible night skies, Devils Tower is a must-visit destination in Wyoming.
After exploring Devils Tower, drive 2.5 hours to Sheridan, WY.

More important than all the options CBD isolate affords end-users, it allows us to control exactly what goes into or onto our bodies and the quality of all the ingredients used. For example, many CBD topicals include added herbal or botanical ingredients that, while pleasant to smell, can irritate sensitive skin or even exacerbate some conditions. Using an isolate, you can create your own topical with only the ingredients that work for you.
Hi, Congrats on finishing chemo & radiation that’s awesome!! I wish you the best of luck!! I was actually wanting to know about dosage for cancer as well..My parents both have recently been diagnosed with cancer 4 months apart and are currently going thru chemo together. I have tried looking for the dosage info but can never find what i’m looking for..I want to try to help lesson the chemo side effects and hopefully kill some of the cancer cells. Can someone please help us?Thank You Christy
Remember: Do not ingest CBD topicals. They should be used externally only. If your skin symptoms have appeared suddenly or if they are very strong and painful, you should first consult your physician before using any supplements or salves. Don't use salves on open, bleeding wounds. Also, do not apply CBD topicals if you are pregnant, lactating, or suffering from a serious illness.
My mother has dementia/Alzheimers along with a broken knee that they will not repair do to her mental status. She is currently in a nursing home. I firmly believe her mental situation began with the over use of hydrocodone for over 30 years and was acerbated by the trauma of breaking and disconnecting her knee cap. Since weaning her off of her meds (still in progress) we have regained much of her consciousness. I want to try CBD to help in her recovery or to help slow down the disease. I cannot find a dosage recommendation plus the nursing home/doctor does not recommend it. I would need to give it to her when I am there visiting (about 3 - 4 times per week). Is there a recommended dosage for dementia/Alzheimers?
Correct Answer: In the United States – all products should derived from organic hemp grown in the United States. Hemp grown in the European Union (EU) is acceptable (although less preferable than US-grown) ONLY if it is grown using organic methods and the company can prove the lack of pesticides, mold, and heavy metals through current test results (see below).
Customers looking to buy CBD creams will find the best CBD lotion at Green Roads World. CBD is an organic compound that is found in the industrial hemp plant. In order to produce the highest quality CBD muscle rub, Green Roads uses hemp that has been grown in the United States. The United States has a long history of growing hemp. In fact, it has been grown on our home continent since 1645! Our CBD cream for sale is a CBD topical cream. A topical cream is a product that is applied directly to the skin. CBD Pain Cream is a unique item that has been artfully crafted by a licensed pharmacist with twenty years of experience.
It’s a truism to state that pain is an inevitable part of life. And it’s true that we all, from time to time, experience pain that is short-lived and treatable. But those who deal with chronic pain know the debilitating, life-sucking reality of this condition. And traditional medications often come with long lists of side effects which can be as debilitating as the pain itself.
CBD is simply an active chemical compound, or cannabinoid, that’s found in the cannabis plant. The reason it’s becoming so popular across such a wide audience of people right now though is because unlike the other main compound in cannabis (THC), it doesn’t get you high. There have been thousands upon thousands of medical studies showing all of the health benefits that CBD has, but “average” people are loving it because it doesn’t produce any mind-altering psychoactive effects.
By popular demand, we have also begun to carry several, high quality CBD pet products as well. For general purpose applications, we carry several, tasty tincture and oral spray options that are highly effective. Likewise, Pharma CBD capsules provide CBD purity via capsular ingestion. In addition, we have partnered with Therabis, the quality CBD maker of “Stop the Itch” and “Calm and Quiet”, the pet lovers’ ultimate go-to’s. Find these products by browsing our exclusive online inventory.
Hi, I had ovarian cancer stage 2 and went to do chemotherapy for 16 times in 2014. It came back last year 2016 but I did not do chemotherapy or radiation therapy as suggested by the doctor. I am taking hormone therapy at the moment. I would like to use cannabis oil but which one and how much CBD and how much THC should I take for ovarian cancer? Can anyone give some idea?. Thank you very much.
To further ensure the reliability of our CBD isolate, we hold it to the same strict Triple Lab Tested™ standard that all HempMeds® products must go through. This lab testing process uses ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited testing labs to carefully examine our hemp oil. These labs test our hemp oil for an accurate concentration of cannabinoids and the presence of mold, mildew, fungus, toxins, heavy metals, and residual solvents to protect the end user from any contamination.

Until 2017, products containing cannabidiol that are marketed for medical purposes were classed as medicines by the UK regulatory body, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and could not be marketed without regulatory approval for the medical claims. CBD oil with THC content not exceeding 0.2% was legalized throughout the UK in 2017. Cannabis oil, however, remained illegal to possess, buy and sell.
While both CBD and THC are present in the cannabis plant, no matter what form it takes, there are only trace amounts of psychoactive THC in industrial hemp, the plant used to make hemp textiles, hemp seeds, and most of the CBD oil on the marketplace. Long story short: using CBD oil won't make you high. (For answers to more commonly asked CBD questions, be sure to check out our forthcoming FAQ about CBD).
CBD is a safe, long-term aid which is why it has gained such momentum and why our customers are turning to it for relief. CBD, scientifically known as cannabidiol, is a non-psychoactive, organic compound found in the hemp plant. When it interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, CBD provides powerful health benefits without the side effects of conventional drugs.
There’s also been a lot of talk lately about “microdosing” CBD. This refers to an incremental process of finding your minimum effective dose. You can do this with any concentration of CBD oil, but lower concentrations will take longer. In a 2017 article in Rolling Stone, Dr. Dustan Sulak outlines his protocol for microdosing. You can begin this process by asking yourself three questions:
There are thousands of unique varieties of hemp. The cultivars used for CBD oil contain significantly higher concentrations of CBD than others. Using these uniquely potent plants, it is possible to extract cannabis oil that contains significant levels of cannabidiol, as well as essential vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, terpenes, flavonoids, and other non-psychoactive cannabinoids.
You can also use this CBD-infused oil to cook or bake with, but keep in mind that CBD will lose its potency at higher temperatures. If you do want to cook with the CBD isolate oil you created, make sure you’re doing so at less than 350 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring you never go above 400 degrees. CBD isolate heated any higher will lose most of its benefits.
I was sceptical, but decided to try the cream for my chronic hip pain! It was amazing! Within 15 minutes, my pain is almost gone! I am a nurse and am on my feet ALOT! I am so excited about this product that I share my experience with my patients and friends that have pain issues! It feels so good to be using a natural product that has no side effects and that actually works!! Thank you so much!
All Green Roads products are handcrafted with only the highest quality hemp-derived CBD. Green Roads utilizes CO2 supercritical fluid extraction to ensure that no unwanted cannabinoids end up in CBD product concentrate. The raw CBD isolate used in Green Roads products is winterized prior to infusion into the final products to ensure that only CBD (and no unwanted plant compounds) is present when the bottle is sealed.
Nano-emulsification is what makes all-natural CBD become water-soluble and more bio-available. Nano-amplified CBD, such as Isodiol’s CBD Nano Ultra™, dramatically affects the absorbability of large, fat-soluble molecules like CBD. Typically with CBD consumer products, 90% or more of the CBD is wasted because the body simply cannot absorb it. That’s because CBD particles, like all phytocannabinoids, measure about 2,000 nanometers. Human cells can only absorb particles of 60-80 nanometers. A cell cannot fully utilize a particle larger than itself.
At the end of the extraction process, you’re left with a cannabis concentrate. Depending on the form in which you choose to keep the cannabis concentrate (e.g., solid, semi-solid, liquid), you can then make things like shatter, wax, oil, and tincture. But if you want to make CBD isolate, you’ll need to refine that concentrate a little bit more with a process called winterization.
Anyway, the research showed that in mice, CBD was much more effective when used along with other compounds of the cannabis plant, than when it was used by itself. While they haven’t yet figured out why exactly this is the case, it’s now generally accepted that full-spectrum CBD oil is more effective at treating the majority of medical conditions, than is CBD isolate.
I have been suffering from scalp pain, itching and scalp sores for more than 3 years. I have seen 6 dermatologists and 5 diagnosed me with folliculitis. The 6th dermatologist felt I did not have folliculitis, but dysesthesia. I am interested in trying a cannabis scalp cream, but know nothing about this product, and where I might get it, and if it might work for me. I have had 7/7 pain for 3.5 years and need some relief other than narcotics.
The H. Hemp Company submits all of its products for laboratory testing by a third party for quality and safety, and its ingredients are sustainably farmed without pesticides. The CBD is infused into the hempseed or MCT oil to allow for slower, longer-lasting absorption through the gastrointestinal tract. All hemp is sourced from sustainable growers in Kentucky and Colorado.
CBD E-Liquid/Vape Cartridges: Vaping is excellent for people looking for an immediate response, as inhalation is the fastest way to deliver CBDs to your brain and body. To use vape simply exhale gently the air from your lungs then inhale through the mouthpiece slowly for 3 seconds. Then fill your lungs the rest of the way with additional breath and hold for a few seconds, exhaling when ready. There are pre-filled, cost-effective vape pens and cartridges available as well as more expensive vaporizers that you can refill with CBD-infused e-liquid.
The vast majority of CBD oils come in bottles measuring either 15 milliliters (mL), or 0.5 ounces; or 30 mL, or 1 ounce. However, CBD concentration is more important than bottle size. Concentration refers to the ratio of hemp oil solution (measured in mL) compared to the amount of CBD cannabinoid (measured in milligrams, or mg). A 15-mL bottle may contain 100 mg of CBD, 300 mg, 500 mg, or more. The higher the mg amount, the stronger the CBD oil will be. For this reason, the ‘mg’ measurement is also referred to as the oil’s strength; i.e., 400-mg oil might be called 400-strength oil.
Our reviews also include the ingredients and a description of the scent and texture of each CBD topical. We tried to remain neutral in our descriptions of each product, since each consumer’s experience is subjective. These are all high-quality CBD creams, balms and salves, but you may find you prefer one scent over another. You might love or hate menthol. Some people prefer a light texture, while other buyers are looking for CBD topicals to use in a massage.

Sleep Aids--Do They Help or Harm?
Millions of Americans take something to help them sleep and in fact, one out of six Americans report experiencing chronic sleep problems. Sleep deprivation and inadequate sleep is a huge problem in our society today but it's particularly worrisome for those over age 50. The older we get, the less we're able to recover quickly from several nights of inadequate sleep and may even become a dangerous situation if it involves older drivers, pilots or assembly line workers--anyone who deals with public safety or machinery.
The problem appears to be that our total sleep time has been decreasing for decades and while sleep medications can promote sleep, they are a double-edged sword. Many of our most commonly prescribed medications, as well as many over-the-counter sleep medications have been linked to cognitive decline (the ability to reason, think or remember), brain shrinkage and an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
Medications such as Xanax and Elavil fall into this category of risk. And alarming new research now implicates simple antihistamines such as Benedryl which are often found in over-the-counter sleep medications. The effects are particularly worrisome in middle-age and older people. This is because such drugs deplete the brain's supply of the essential neurotransmitter acetylcholine. That's why collectively they're referred to as anti-cholinergic drugs. One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease is a deficiency of acetylcholine.
These sleep aides should not be used for any length of time, only for short-term sleep deprivation because of their long-term side effects. Rather, non-drug remedies are best for promoting good sleep. These include good sleep hygiene (following a specific regimen), which includes some of the following:
- Reserving your bed for sleep (and intimate activities with your spouse)
- Having a set bedtime and wake time (it appears that the body's best hours for
rejuvenation and healing are from 10:00 pm to 2:00 am in the morning!)
- Avoiding daytime naps longer than 30 minutes
- Not eating or drinking anything several hours before bedtime
- Winding down with low-intensity activities like reading or meditation before bedtime
AAging Better recognizes that adequate sleep is one of the most important activities our older clients need on a routine basis and we do all we can to help our clients promote good sleep hygiene at all times. It's something we take seriously and work with family members or the client to develop and keep healthy habits that help promote good sleep

I want to file etds return of my company myself. What is the easiest process. I want to know TDS rate of transport charges. How can I deduct. What form to be filled by me. If any software of filing e-tds required how can I get that and process of submit.
Puspal Kumar Das
I have already mentioned eTDS return filing steps. If you did not read, please read it at here. Now, I just explain what I have already written. Before eTDS, all forms like form 24, 26, 27, 27E, 27Q, 26Q, 24Q , 27EQ were in printed form. First, you check what type of payment, you have paid to other. According to this, you will these forms in income tax office and fill the challan for payment of tax in bank. Now, both filing TDS return and bank payment has been converted into online. You just create data structure of your eTDS return by using the third party authorized software or using Govt. software by downloading from https://www.tin-nsdl.com/etds-etcs/eTDS-RPU.php and write it and upload it in certified authorities' website. You can read certified authorities at https://www.tin-nsdl.com/etds-etcs/eTDS-onlineintro.php
You can read updated rates of TDS at http://asa-india.com/asa/TDS%20Rates%20FY%202010-2011.pdf . I think payment for transport charges will be the payment to contractor.

Everything has an ending. Except for sausages which have two.
New Zealand. This time, that’s the end.
I’ve been thinking and thinking again about my last weeks in New Zealand. I’ve even done a list of what I wanted to achieve: hiking the Tongariro Crossing, seeing Mount Taranaki, watching the sunrise in Gisborne, going back to Napier, helping again in Hahei Beach, doing a HelpX in a Maori family, going to a yoga retreat, tramping for a few days,… My list was as long as a novel. Almost a year passed away and yet there was still many experiences I wanted to have before leaving. It drove me mad to try to make my last moments in New Zealand meaningful and unforgettable.
It only took one English guy to finally let this go.
The countdown has started. I have a little bit more of two weeks left here in New Zealand. This is the end of my last road trip, I’m leaving Flo for good this time.
We’re in Auckland. Auckland all over again. Auckland, my city of arrival. Auckland, the city of unforgettable encounters. Rainy Auckland, boring Auckland. You’ve seen nothing of New Zealand if you’re staying in Auckland, and yet, while travelling North Island, Auckland is where all the roads are leading to. I’m leaving Auckland with relief every time and yet I keep coming back there.
Except that Taranaki’s shitty weather seems to be around here too. First snows have fallen, and even if the hike is doable, the conditions look really bad. And the fog, the rain are ruining the views. Not to mention that… the Ruapehu volcano is slowly awakening!
Flo, aka Monsieur Wellington, and I are leaving Northland driving our Nissan Tilda to explore the western part of North Island which neither of us had seen before. After dropping Martin and Wiebke in Paihia, here we are, just the two of us, singing at the top of our lungs some silly songs on the radio. We’re driving through green fields.
There will always be some dates. Some reminders. Some thornes that will prick, pierce and make me bleed sometimes. It’s been Fifteen Years today. Its seems like an eternity. It seems like it was yesterday.
