Dr. Peterson journeys broadly, discussing discipline, freedom, adventure and responsibility, distilling the world's wisdom into 12 practical and profound rules for life. 12 Rules for Life shatters the modern commonplaces of science, faith and human nature, while transforming and ennobling the mind and spirit of its readers.

Author: Carol S. Dweck
Brand: Dweck, Carol S.
Now updated with new research, the book that has changed millions of lives with its insights into the growth mindset—an ideal graduation gift.
After decades of research, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., discovered a simple but groundbreaking idea: the power of mindset. In this brilliant book, she shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities. People with a fixed mindset—those who believe that abilities are fixed—are less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset—those who believe that abilities can be developed. Mindset reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can put this idea to use to foster outstanding accomplishment.
In this edition, Dweck offers new insights into her now famous and broadly embraced concept. She introduces a phenomenon she calls false growth mindset and guides people toward adopting a deeper, truer growth mindset. She also expands the mindset concept beyond the individual, applying it to the cultures of groups and organizations. With the right mindset, you can motivate those you lead, teach, and love—to transform their lives and your own.
Praise for Mindset

|Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance
Lowest new price: $10.99

List price: $28.99
Author: Angela Duckworth
In this instant New York Times bestseller, pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed—be it parents, students, educators, athletes, or business people—that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls “grit.”
Drawing on her own powerful story as the daughter of a scientist who frequently noted her lack of “genius,” Duckworth, now a celebrated researcher and professor, describes her early eye-opening stints in teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience, which led to the hypothesis that what really drives success is not “genius” but a unique combination of passion and long-term perseverance.
In Grit, she takes readers into the field to visit cadets struggling through their first days at West Point, teachers working in some of the toughest schools, and young finalists in the National Spelling Bee. She also mines fascinating insights from history and shows what can be gleaned from modern experiments in peak performance. Finally, she shares what she’s learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers—from JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff to Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll.
Among Grit’s most valuable insights:
*Why any effort you make ultimately counts twice toward your goal
*How grit can be learned, regardless of I.Q. or circumstances
*How lifelong interest is triggered
*How much of optimal practice is suffering and how much ecstasy
*Which is better for your child—a warm embrace or high standards
*The magic of the Hard Thing Rule
Winningly personal, insightful, and even life-changing, Grit is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down, and how that—not talent or luck—makes all the difference.

Brand: Daniel Kahneman
Major New York Times bestseller
Winner of the National Academy of Sciences Best Book Award in 2012
Selected by the New York Times Book Review as one of the ten best books of 2011
A Globe and Mail Best Books of the Year 2011 Title
One of The Economist's 2011 Books of the Year
One of The Wall Street Journal's Best Nonfiction Books of the Year 2011
2013 Presidential Medal of Freedom Recipient
Kahneman's work with Amos Tversky is the subject of Michael Lewis's The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds
In the international bestseller, Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman, the renowned psychologist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, takes us on a groundbreaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. The impact of overconfidence on corporate strategies, the difficulties of predicting what will make us happy in the future, the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything from playing the stock market to planning our next vacation―each of these can be understood only by knowing how the two systems shape our judgments and decisions.
Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, Kahneman reveals where we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking. He offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and our personal lives―and how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble. Winner of the National Academy of Sciences Best Book Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and selected by The New York Times Book Review as one of the ten best books of 2011, Thinking, Fast and Slow is destined to be a classic.
Amazon Best Books of the Month, November 2011: Drawing on decades of research in psychology that resulted in a Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, Daniel Kahneman takes readers on an exploration of what influences thought example by example, sometimes with unlikely word pairs like "vomit and banana." System 1 and System 2, the fast and slow types of thinking, become characters that illustrate the psychology behind things we think we understand but really don't, such as intuition. Kahneman's transparent and careful treatment of his subject has the potential to change how we think, not just about thinking, but about how we live our lives. Thinking, Fast and Slow gives deep--and sometimes frightening--insight about what goes on inside our heads: the psychological basis for reactions, judgments, recognition, choices, conclusions, and much more. --JoVon Sotak

|The Happiness Advantage: The Seven Principles of Positive Psychology That Fuel Success and Performance at Work
Lowest new price: $8.48
Lowest used price: $4.88
List price: $25.00
Author: Shawn Achor
Brand: Touch Crown
Our most commonly held formula for success is broken. Conventional wisdom holds that if we work hard we will be more successful, and if we are more successful, then we’ll be happy. If we can just find that great job, win that next promotion, lose those five pounds, happiness will follow. But recent discoveries in the field of positive psychology have shown that this formula is actually backward: Happiness fuels success, not the other way around. When we are positive, our brains become more engaged, creative, motivated, energetic, resilient, and productive at work. This isn’t just an empty mantra. This discovery has been repeatedly borne out by rigorous research in psychology and neuroscience, management studies, and the bottom lines of organizations around the globe.
In The Happiness Advantage, Shawn Achor, who spent over a decade living, researching, and lecturing at Harvard University, draws on his own research—including one of the largest studies of happiness and potential at Harvard and others at companies like UBS and KPMG—to fix this broken formula. Using stories and case studies from his work with thousands of Fortune 500 executives in 42 countries, Achor explains how we can reprogram our brains to become more positive in order to gain a competitive edge at work.
Isolating seven practical, actionable principles that have been tried and tested everywhere from classrooms to boardrooms, stretching from Argentina to Zimbabwe, he shows us how we can capitalize on the Happiness Advantage to improve our performance and maximize our potential. Among the principles he outlines:
• The Tetris Effect: how to retrain our brains to spot patterns of possibility, so we can see—and seize—opportunities wherever we look.
• The Zorro Circle: how to channel our efforts on small, manageable goals, to gain the leverage to gradually conquer bigger and bigger ones.
• Social Investment: how to reap the dividends of investing in one of the greatest predictors of success and happiness—our social support network
A must-read for everyone trying to excel in a world of increasing workloads, stress, and negativity, The Happiness Advantage isn’t only about how to become happier at work. It’s about how to reap the benefits of a happier and more positive mind-set to achieve the extraordinary in our work and in our lives.

From the winner of the 2017 Nobel Prize in Economics, Richard H. Thaler, and Cass R. Sunstein: a revelatory look at how we make decisions—for fans of Malcolm Gladwell’s Blink and Daniel Kahneman’s Thinking Fast and Slow
New York Times bestseller
Named a Best Book of the Year by The Economist and the Financial Times
Every day we make choices—about what to buy or eat, about financial investments or our children’s health and education, even about the causes we champion or the planet itself. Unfortunately, we often choose poorly. Nudge is about how we make these choices and how we can make better ones. Using dozens of eye-opening examples and drawing on decades of behavioral science research, Nobel Prize winner Richard H. Thaler and Harvard Law School professor Cass R. Sunstein show that no choice is ever presented to us in a neutral way, and that we are all susceptible to biases that can lead us to make bad decisions. But by knowing how people think, we can use sensible “choice architecture” to nudge people toward the best decisions for ourselves, our families, and our society, without restricting our freedom of choice.

Author: Don Norman
Brand: Basic Books AZ
The essential guide to human-centered design
Even the smartest among us can feel inept as we fail to figure out which light switch or oven burner to turn on, or whether to push, pull, or slide a door. The fault, argues this ingenious-even liberating-book, lies not in ourselves, but in product design that ignores the needs of users and the principles of cognitive psychology. The problems range from ambiguous and hidden controls to arbitrary relationships between controls and functions, coupled with a lack of feedback or other assistance and unreasonable demands on memorization.
The Design of Everyday Things shows that good, usable design is possible. The rules are simple: make things visible, exploit natural relationships that couple function and control, and make intelligent use of constraints. The goal: guide the user effortlessly to the right action on the right control at the right time.
The Design of Everyday Things is a powerful primer on how-and why-some products satisfy customers while others only frustrate them.

For those who care about not crashing the aircraft they are on
Heed those warnings and don't run your electronics in the plane. Transport Canada has documented cases of pocket calculators screwing up electronics (primarily navigation and communication equipment), or at least so says my brother, the pilot. Also, as he says "I can't cite, but I believe that the bandwidth that GPS operates in is also very, very susceptible to interference. GPS signals are also very low-powered; GPS antenna are correspondingly sensitive..."

By Sharon M. Kennedy
The day Teddy threatened to kill my mother was the day I realized how dysfunctional our family was. I was upstairs when Teddy pulled his 1958 Oldsmobile into our front yard. Mom and Dad were in the kitchen. Usually I would have listened to their conversation by standing near the stovepipe that ran from the kitchen through the spare room above it, but not that day. Teddy was yelling so loud his voice carried up the stairs. He was drunk—his normal state of being—and shouting “I’ll kill you” to Mom. “Get out,” he said. “Get out before I kill you with my bare hands.” I looked out my bedroom window and saw Mom running towards the wellhouse. My heart pounded. There was a lock on the wellhouse door, but not on my bedroom. If Mom escaped, was Teddy going to come after me? Was I going to die at thirteen?
My cousin was twenty years my senior and as far as I knew had been a drunk all his life. I heard his roar of laughter. “Got her good that time,” he said to Dad. “Next time I’ll break her legs. We’ll see how fast she runs then.” I don’t know if Dad said anything or if he just sat at his place at the table and nodded. Dad wasn’t much of a talker unless he was drunk enough to tell his children he knew they didn’t love him. This wasn’t true, but in our house nobody showed anybody their emotions. They were kept under a tighter lid than a sealed Mason jar of pickled beets so how could Dad possibly know we loved him and how could we know we were loved by him?
I waited for Teddy’s step on the stairs, but his rage must have been spent. Either that or he didn’t know I was home. No sounds were coming from the kitchen so he could have passed out. I watched from my open window as Dad walked towards the wellhouse. I was afraid to go downstairs. Teddy’s car was still in the yard. I hated that convertible and I hated him. Whatever possessed him to threaten to kill Mom was beyond me. As a child, he had been her favorite nephew. All I could think was he should have been drown at birth. He would have saved everyone a lot of trouble.

Lidl DC workers win right to join union
09 May 2017
The Court of Appeal has dismissed Lidl’s attempts to overturn a ruling ordering them to allow staff trade union representation.
Last year the Central Arbitration Committee (CAC), the independent tribunal with statutory powers over trade union recognition, dismissed Lidl’s attempts to block warehouse operatives employed at the company’s Bridgend distribution centre from having a union represent their interests.
The High Court then upheld the CAC’s decision in August.
The Court of Appeal again confirmed the right of GMB to ballot members for recognition within the company after the supermarket's objections were thrown out.
Lorraine Gaskell, GMB Regional Organiser, said: “Despite Lidl's repeated attempts at union busting, the courts have today upheld a massive victory for workers’ rights.
“The company has shown a shocking lack of respect for the wishes of their own staff – and wasted shareholder’s money with this frivolous appeal. This will pave the way for workers at Bridgend to negotiate their pay and conditions via their democratically selected union reps. Hopefully Lidl will now see sense and form a constructive relationship with us.”

Brookville Equipment Corp. at the end of June delivered its third Liberty streetcar to Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART).
The unit is the first of two ordered by DART in a contract option exercised in July 2015. The two units will be identical to the first two Liberty Streetcars delivered to DART in spring 2015, Brookville officials said in a press release.The Liberty model streetcars include an onboard energy storage system for off-wire operation, an automatic leveling system for station-level boarding and more than 70 percent low-floor area, according to the company.The four-vehicle fleet will support the Dallas Streetcar's expansion into the Bishop Arts District, with service starting at two stops next month. The Liberty streetcar is the first off-wire capable streetcar to operate in the United States, Brookville officials said. The unit also earned the Light Rail Transit Association's Global Light Rail Award for Technical Innovation of the Year.The fourth Dallas-bound Liberty streetcar is in the final stages of assembly at Brookville's Pennsylvania manufacturing facility and is slated for delivery later this summer. Brookville also has been tapped to build streetcars for Detroit's M-1 Rail, Oklahoma City and Milwaukee.

Ready or not, summer has officially ended and fall has begun. As the holiday fundraiser season approaches, thoughts turn toward preparing for gatherings of family and friends … but for many, this is when a busy life is made even busier and more stressful. You can help alleviate some of the crush of the holidays and help foster a sense of community while getting the word out about your organization by hosting a Thanksgiving feast for everyone.
Plan to begin selling tickets four to six weeks in advance of the event date; this will help you get a good ballpark figure on how many guests to prepare for. Be sure to identify and secure a large enough dining hall and enough plates/tableware to accommodate the number of guests you expect to attend, and base your food estimates accordingly if your group will be preparing the meal yourselves. Look to grocers, party supply stores and florists in your area for donations of foods, plates and table centerpieces. (On the other hand, you may want to consider working with a caterer to help you keep the meal planning as worry-free as possible.)
Starting the dinner off with a social hour and live entertainment, such as a popular local music group, is a great way to help your guests relax and settle in without waiting restlessly for the meal to be served. During the social hour, hold a silent auction or a raffle drawing with prizes donated by local businesses and announce the winners just prior to serving the meal.
Turkey is the star of the traditional Thanksgiving meal, and its supporting players – stuffing, candied yams, jellied cranberry, creamy mashed potatoes and steamed green beans – are just a few of the many, many side dishes that find their way onto millions of American tables. Crudités, chips and dips, and cheese platters and crackers are tasty appetizers. Depending on your budget, you can provide different options, such as a vegetarian meal (luscious, cheesy lasagna, anyone?) or gluten- or dairy-free side dishes or desserts, for broader appeal. Don’t forget dessert: Slices of pumpkin or apple pie, brownies and other sweet treats are practically requirements for rounding out a Thanksgiving dinner.
Best wishes for your community feast and holiday fundraiser! Try out our Thanksgiving-themed ticket templates to help you make tickets for your own Holiday feast.

Walmart in Garfield to close Thursday for deep cleaning
Walmart is closing its Garfield store for cleaning Thursday “out of an abundance of caution,” the company said.
The closure will allow for a deep cleaning and give staff time to restock shelves and prepare the store for customers. It is scheduled to reopen at 7 a.m. on Friday.
“Now more than ever before, customers are relying on Walmart for the essentials they need for their families, and our associates are doing heroic work serving their communities,” spokesman Phillip Keene said.

New Jersey:Murphy says customers, employees must wear face coverings, adds restrictions on NJ retail
On Friday, the store will conduct employee health screenings and temperature checks, and workers will all be provided with face masks and gloves, Keene said.
During the past few weeks, other measures have been put in place to protect employees and customers, including installing sneeze guards at registers, limiting the number of customers in a store, creating one-way-aisle shopping, placing social distancing signage and enacting an emergency leave policy for associates who are unable to work or uncomfortable being there.
A lawsuit filed against Walmart in federal court in Illinois on Monday alleged that two store employees died from complications of coronavirus after being exposed at the store. The suit claims that the store didn’t clean and sterilize, did not “implement, promote and enforce social distancing guidelines,” failed to provide masks and gloves and didn’t warn employees about potential exposure from other staffers.
Walmart’s announcement came on the same day that Gov. Phil Murphy signed an executive order further restricting shopping by limiting the number of customers allowed in stores to no more than 50% of normal capacity.
He also ordered that employees and customers must wear face coverings and said stores must provide special shopping hours for high-risk individuals. They are required to put physical barriers in place between customers and cashiers and baggers. They must also regularly sanitize areas used by their employees.

Abu Hussein al-Qurashi, the suspected leader of the Islamic State group has been killed in Syria in an operation carried out by Turkey's MIT intelligence agency, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday. Turkey's state-run television also later confirmed al-Qurashi's death in an MIT operation.
"The suspected leader of Daesh, codename Abu Hussein al-Qurashi, has been neutralized in an operation carried out yesterday by the MIT in Syria," he announced on television, using the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State organization. The Islamic State announced the death of Abu Hasan al-Hashimi al-Qurashi on November 30 and announced Abu Hussein al-Qurashi as its new leader.
Hitting the Target
Turkish intelligence agents and local military police, supported by Turkey, cordoned off a zone in Jindires, in the northwest region of Afrine, according to reports from northern Syria.
Locals informed AFP that a farm that had been abandoned and was being utilized as an Islamic school had been the subject of an operation.
According to locals, a farm that had been abandoned and was being utilized as an Islamic school had been the target of the operation.
Turkey has troops stationed in northern Syria since 2020, and with the assistance of Syrian auxiliary forces, controls large zones.
The United States conducted a helicopter raid in northern Syria in an operation in the middle of April, claiming that the Islamic State organization had been preparing assaults in Europe and the Middle East.
According to US Central Command, the operation resulted in the death of a senior ISIS leader. They named him as Abd-al Hadi Mahmud al-Haji Ali.
The Islamic State group continues to carry out attacks in Syria despite being driven out from a large portion of the area it once ruled.
The ISIS Crisis
Suspected members of the Islamic State organization killed at least 41 people, of which 24 were civilians on April 16 in Syria. US forces claimed to have killed Khalid Aydd Ahmad al-Jabouri, a commander of the IS group who was in charge of plotting operations in Europe, in the first week of April.
The IS group claimed credit for a number of attacks in Europe when it was at its most powerful, ruling large portions of Syria and Iraq.
Washington announced in October 2019 that it had killed IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi In an operation in northwest Syria.
His death was seen as a major blow to ISIS, although the group has continued to carry out terrorist attacks and maintain its global network of affiliates.

I told Fred to tell me three things I do that irritate him. He looked at me as if I was crazy. He's thinking I must want to start a fight! Then he said, "First tell me something I do." No, I'm not going there. I say this isn't about him, just that if I am doing something that irritates him, I want to stop. He goes outside to work in the garden while he thinks about it. I come outside and ask him but he says, "I'm not going to tell you now!"
Inside he still says nothing. I ask if he's thought about it. He says yes. He can only think of one thing. He says I too often let things interrupt the girls' schooling. People ask me to do things and I can't say no. So I agree to try not to let that happen anymore. I'm sure he is thinking of other things, but he won't say! This is because from past experience he knows I am so defensive. I had decided not to say a word, no matter what he told me. But it was a little scary thinking about what he might say. I give him credit. If something was on his mind, he decided it was not worth telling me about. He extended grace to me and he is allowing me to be flawed and is not trying to correct me.
Anyone else? Did this dare bother you?

“PennDOT has been encouraging municipalities along the route of the connector to limit access points onto the connector route,” said township Zoning Officer Ken Amey.
“In fact, [this proposed ordinance] will eliminate any access onto the connector route.”
The $50 million project, of which 20 percent of the costs will fall upon the state and 80 percent upon the federal government, is a five-mile roadway proposed to begin at Wambold Road and Sumneytown Pike in Towamencin and run east to Route 309 near County Line Road in Hilltown Township, Bucks County.
It has been designed to create a less congested path from Route 309 to Sumneytown Pike and the Northeast Extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
In advance of the project, Amey said, the township’s ordinance will eliminate residential or commercial roadway access to the connector.
The board of commissioners is scheduled to vote on the ordinance later this month.


Hundreds of teachers went on strike in Andover, Massachusetts, on Friday morning, with contract negotiations set to resume in the afternoon.
After the Andover Education Association voted to strike on Thursday night, classes were canceled for approximately 5,500 district students from pre-kindergarten to 12th grade.
A session of negotiation between the union, the Andover School Committee, and a mediator appointed by the state was scheduled to begin at 2 p.m.
“Nobody wants to be out here, we want to be in the classrooms, we’re passionate about teaching and delivering services, but it has been made so difficult by the district to do that effectively,” Matt Bach, a high school history teacher and union president, told NBC10 Boston.
The district has said that it will offer 23% for teachers at the beginning of their careers and 11% for teachers at the top level over a period of three years. The union wants to see all teachers receive 16% increases over the next three years. The wages of instructional assistants have also been a point of contention.

Ocean warming is caused by human-made greenhouse gases, says a new US study.
Researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory found that greenhouse gases were responsible for warming oceans, further strengthening the claim that climate change is human-made.
"The bottom line is that this study substantially strengthens the conclusion that most of the observed global ocean warming over the past 50 years is attributable to human activities," said study author and climate scientist Peter Gleckler, according to Live Science.
It is estimated that the oceans account for 90 percent of the heat accumulated on Earth over the past 50 years, the study said.

The research used computer models to test a variety of situations that could have caused ocean warming – a phenomenon that has not been contested.
When greenhouse gas emissions were added to the model, the temperature fluctuations began to make sense.
Indeed, the team of researchers from the US, Australia and Japan found that natural fluctuations by themselves do not explain warming in the ocean’s upper layers, said Discovery.
The study was published in the journal Nature Climate Change.

Five new UC Berkeley faculty members, all from different states, disciplines and backgrounds, will unite around one issue: climate equity and environmental justice. The new appointments are part of UC Berkeley's six interdisciplinary faculty “cluster hires" currently underway.
Cluster hiring, as defined by the university, involves hiring "multiple scholars into one or more departments based on shared research interests to meet a university’s specific goals." In Berkeley's case, the purpose will be to advance knowledge on the current "acute threats to the world — in particular, to its vulnerable and marginalized groups and/or to the natural world."
Aside from the Climate Equity and Environmental Justice cluster, which is the first of the six clusters to have all its positions filled, the following five clusters will focus on issues relating to Native American and Indigenous People, Anti-Black Racism and Social Inclusion, Latinx and Democracy, Artificial Intelligence and Inequality and Understanding (Non) Citizenship.
“We need to draw on a much wider range of intellectual sources than we traditionally have," said Dr. Raka Ray, dean of Berkeley’s Division of Social Sciences. "Every topic can be looked at from multiple perspectives, and when this happens, it expands our understanding of the world.”
The Climate Equity and Environmental Justice cluster hires include Dr. Meg Mills-Novoa, assistant professor in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management; Dr. Daniel Aldana Cohen, an assistant professor in the Department of Sociology; Dr. Zoé Hamstead, assistant professor in the Department of City and Regional Planning; Dr. Danielle Zoe Rivera, assistant professor in the Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning; and Dr. Maya Carrasquillo, assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.

How To Use Cbd Oil For Pain
Get the most up to date joint inflammation details
The Arthritis Foundation understands the developing appeal as well as schedule of CBD-based items. Sector files present that individuals along with joint inflammation are actually amongst the best purchasers, and also how to use cbd oil for pain is actually the foremost cause for acquisition. Our July 2019 study of 2,600 individuals along with joint inflammation presents considerable use and also passion in CBD( cannabidiol). * Earlier studies have actually presented repetitively that how to use cbd oil for pain is actually one of the most daunting joint inflammation sign.

The CBD in the majority of items is actually removed coming from hemp, an assortment of marijuana that possesses merely signs (as much as 0.3%) of THC, the energetic substance that acquires individuals higher.
Does CBD work with joint inflammation? Pet research studies have actually proposed that CBD possesses pain-relieving and also anti-inflammatory residential or commercial properties, yet these results have actually certainly not been actually legitimized in top quality researches in human beings. Anecdotally, some individuals along with joint inflammation that have actually attempted CBD, how to use cbd oil for pain ever certainly not all, document detectable pain comfort, sleeping renovation and/or stress and anxiety decline.
Is actually CBD secure to use? Research study examining the safety and security of CBD is actually underway. At this moment extremely little bit of is actually recognized. Thus far, no severe security worries have actually been actually related to modest dosages. CBD is actually believed to possess the prospective to communicate along with some medications typically taken through folks along with joint inflammation. Speak with your medical professional prior to making an effort CBD if you take any one of the following: corticosteroids (like prednisone), tofacitinib (Xeljanz), naproxen (Aleve), celecoxib (Celebrex), tramadol (Ultram), specific antidepressants, featuring amitriptyline (Elavil), citalopram (Celexa), fluoxetine (Prozac), mirtazapine (Remeron), paroxetine (Paxil), sertraline (Zoloft), as well as particular medicines for fibromyalgia, featuring gabapentin (Neurontin) and also pregabalin (Lyrica).
Are CBD items lawful? CBD items originated from hemp are actually no more looked at Schedule I medications under the government Controlled Substances Act, yet they still stay in a lawful grey region. There are actually adjustments underway on government and also condition degrees that are going to inevitably make clear the regulations and also rules connected to CBD-based items as well as purchases. Even with that, they’& rsquo; re largely accessible in almost every condition and also online. Folks that wish to use CBD ought to inspect their condition regulations.
Should I offer CBD a go? Without premium professional research studies on CBD and also joint inflammation, physicians have actually certainly not had the capacity to state that may profit from CBD, at what dosage as well as through which kind, that likely succeeded’& rsquo; t perk as well as that must prevent it. Still, there is actually deal on a number of factors:
What form of item should I think about? CBD-based items could be taken by mouth, put on the skin layer or even taken in. There are actually advantages and disadvantages for every.
Through oral cavity. CBD that is actually eaten, whether in pills, food items or even fluid, is actually soaked up with the digestion system. Absorption is actually sluggish and also application is actually difficult as a result of the postponed beginning of result (one to 2 hrs), not known impacts of belly acids, latest dishes and also various other elements.
Capsules may help regular use after a risk-free, successful pill dosage has actually been actually created. Pros prevent taking CBD through edibles, like gummies as well as biscuits, due to the fact that application is actually questionable, as well as they are actually attracting little ones how to use cbd oil for pain https://www.medical-cbdoils.com ever perform certainly not can be found in childproof compartments. Like any kind of medication, edibles ought to be actually gotten concealed as well as range of youngsters.
CBD may likewise be actually taken in straight in to the blood stream through keeping fluid coming from a spray or even cast (a fluid dosed through a dropper) under the tongue (sublingual) for 60 to 120 few seconds. The flavor might certainly not be actually pleasurable. Results might be actually experienced within 15 to forty five mins.
On the skin layer. Contemporary items, like ointments as well as creams, are actually put on the skin layer over an unpleasant junction. Whether these items supply CBD listed below the skin layer is actually unidentified. Contemporary items might additionally feature popular over the counter active ingredients including menthol, capsaicin or even camphor, producing it complicated to find out if a favorable impact is because of the CBD or even an additional substance.
Inhaled. CBD could be taken in through an evaporating, or even vape, pen. Having said that, breathing of water vapor oils as well as chemical by-products bring unidentified dangers, especially for folks along with inflamed joint inflammation. Consequently and also due to the fact that the Centers for Disease Control and also Prevention is actually examining vaping in affiliation along with extensive hospital stays as well as fatalities coming from serious lung ailment, vaping is actually certainly not highly recommended.
how to use cbd oil for pain a lot CBD should I use? While there are actually no recognized scientific tips, the clinical professionals spoken with due to the Arthritis Foundation encourage the adhering to for grownups:
What to try to find when purchasing? There is actually excellent main reason to become a mindful customer. CBD items are actually mostly uncontrolled in the U.S. market. Independent screening has actually presented mislabeling and also absence of quality assurance. The greatest problems are actually toughness of CBD (dramatically essentially than the tag points out), the existence of unspoken THC, and also poisoning along with chemicals, metallics and also solvents.

CHITWAN, August 15: Inundated resorts and jungle lodges of Sauraha are preparing hard to resume their operations at the earliest.
Floods in Rapti and Budhi Rapti River due to incessant rains since Friday morning have inundated many resorts and jungle lodges in Sauraha which is popular among tourists for jungle safari. With water level receding form Monday, local hoteliers are now busy cleaning their premises.
Chitwan National Park is third major tourist destination of the country. Almost 90 percent of tourists coming to Chitwan stay in this small town adjoining the national park - a UNESCO World Heritage site. There are 110 tourist hotels, resorts and jungle lodges in Sauraha.
Suman Ghimire, president of Regional Hotel Association Chitwan, said that around 50 percent of the submerged hotels will resume operation within a day or two. “We have asked District Health Office to send its teams for ascertaining whether the environment is okay for public health,” he added.
According to Ghimire, the Chitwan National Park office started sell entrance ticket to the national park from Tuesday itself. Similarly, local entrepreneurs have also resumed elephant safari.
“It, however, might take couple of weeks for the pubs along the banks of the Rapti River to come into operation. Apart from these pubs and resorts, which are near to the river bank, other resorts, eateries and other service providers will be ready to welcome tourists very soon,” he added.
All 24 rooms of The Rhino Residency Resort were inundated by flood waters. “Though water level is receding, we need to carry out other maintenance works before hosting guests,” Tika Prasad Baral, director of the resort, told Republica. “It will take at least a month to resume operation.”
Tourist arrival to Sauraha, which was gradually picking up after the earthquakes of 2015, was affected by the poor condition of the Mugling-Narayanghat Road. The recent floods have further worsened situation for Sauraha hoteliers.
There were 600 tourists in Sauraha on Saturday when water level started rising up. All of the tourists were safely rescued on Sunday. Local hoteliers used elephants to move tourists to a safer place.
Meanwhile, the emergency meeting of Regional Hotel Association, Chitwan, held on Monday decided to request bank and financial institutions to provide local hoteliers some relaxation in loan repayment.


Australian governments are beginning to ban the social-media application TikTok on official phones.
This week, the federal, Victorian, South Australian and ACT governments all announced prohibitions on the popular app, responding to fears it may facilitate Chinese espionage.
Australia is the last of the Five Eyes intelligence allies to do this — Britain, Canada, New Zealand and the United States all moved first.
But while the app will largely vanish from government-owned phones, it's less clear whether Australia's 2 million public-sector employees should uninstall TikTok from their personal devices.
'No restrictions for individuals'
TikTok has become extremely popular in a short period of time.
In Australia, it has almost as many regular users as Meta-owned giants Facebook and Instagram.
However, Australia's intelligence agencies now say the app "poses significant security and privacy risks".
The public version of their advice does not name China, but it says TikTok's key risks include "extensive collection of user data and exposure to extrajudicial directions from a foreign government".
In response, the federal Attorney-General's Department has restricted the use of TikTok on Commonwealth-owned phones.
But it says it's still OK to use the platform through a web browser.
The department also says there are "no restrictions on what individuals can have on their own personal devices".
Nonetheless, government security policies contain many warnings for staff — some specific to TikTok and some to all social media.
What are the security risks for staff?
The Australian Signals Directorate (ASD), which is the nation's main cybersecurity agency, says most social-media businesses collect far more data from mobile phones than users realise.
Messaging and social-media apps are "a common way for an adversary to gather information on individuals", the ASD says.
"Even seemingly benign posts, messages, photos or videos can be used to develop detailed profiles of individuals.
"This information could be used in extortion or social-engineering campaigns aimed at eliciting sensitive information, or influencing individuals to compromise organisations' activities or systems."
The main threat is that criminals, or an enemy state, might learn that a user has access to protected government information.
ASD's information security manual suggests that public servants conceal details of their job and workplace from others.
They should also avoid sharing information that will allow "an adversary to develop a detailed understanding of their lifestyle and interests", the manual says.
Freedoms, obligations and some tips
Public servants' use of social media has long been a source of tension, usually over questions of free speech.
Government staff are allowed to express personal views online, as long as they don't undermine public confidence in their ability to be professional and impartial.
However, public servants also have a obligation to minimise national-security risks — and the ASD advises them to take the following precautions if they want to keep using TikTok:
- Don't use TikTok on a phone that can access any official (workplace) information
- If a phone has TikTok on it, keep it away from sensitive conversations and information
- Remove metadata (such as location information) from photos and videos before uploading them to TikTok
The ASD also suggests public servants follow these broader rules for all social media, including near-ubiquitous platforms like Facebook:
- Use an alias rather than your full name when creating an account
- Don't use a work email address; create a new email account solely for social media
- Make the social media account private (accessible only to "friends")
- Restrict the amount of personal information you publish, such as details of where you live and work
- Use lock screens on any devices that have access to social media

One of the biggest complaints about “Force Friday” was the limited number of action figures that were available for “Star Wars” shoppers. The few action figures that reached stores were grabbed up quickly.
That’s nothing compared to the first set of action figures released in connection with “Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.”
When “A New Hope” hit theaters, there was very little merchandising to be purchased. Kenner had gotten the rights to create the toys but the company was was unprepared for the massive response to the film and the high demand for toys.
As Christmas got closer, company executives realized there would be no product to put on shelves. The solution was an “Early Bird Certificate Package” that included a certificate which could be mailed to Kenner and redeemed for action figures. The box also contained a display stand, stickers, and a fan club membership card.
After Kenner got up to speed more than 100 different action figures were produced between 1978 and 1985. An estimated 300 million “Star Wars” action figures were sold.

text: There remains a large discrepancy between the known genetic contributions to cancer and that which can be explained by genomic variants, both inherited and somatic. Recently, understudied repetitive DNA regions called microsatellites have been identified as genetic risk markers for a number of diseases including various cancers (breast, ovarian and brain). In this study, we demonstrate an integrated process for identifying and further evaluating microsatellite-based risk markers for lung cancer using data from the cancer genome atlas and the 1000 genomes project. Comparing whole-exome germline sequencing data from 488 TCGA lung cancer samples to germline exome data from 390 control samples from the 1000 genomes project, we identified 119 potentially informative microsatellite loci. These loci were found to be able to distinguish between cancer and control samples with sensitivity and specificity ratios over 0.8. Then these loci, supplemented with additional loci from other cancers and controls, were evaluated using a target enrichment kit and sample-multiplexed nextgen sequencing. Thirteen of the 119 risk markers were found to be informative in a well powered study (> 0.99 for a 0.95 confidence interval) using high-depth (579x ± 315) nextgen sequencing of 30 lung cancer and 89 control samples, resulting in sensitivity and specificity ratios of 0.90 and 0.94, respectively. When 8 loci harvested from the bioinformatic analysis of other cancers are added to the classifier, then the sensitivity and specificity rise to 0.93 and 0.97, respectively. Analysis of the genes harboring these loci revealed two genes (ARID1B and REL) and two significantly enriched pathways (chromatin organization and cellular stress response) suggesting that the process of lung carcinogenesis is linked to chromatin remodeling, inflammation, and tumor microenvironment restructuring. We illustrate that high-depth sequencing enables a high-precision microsatellite-based risk classifier analysis approach. This microsatellite-based platform confirms the potential to create clinically actionable diagnostics for lung cancer.

There are many fun things we can do with a computer but there are also many boring things we should do with them. Cleaning one isn’t that fun and reseating the CPU cooler can be downright stressful. If you want to keep your computer running it’s best you’ll want to keep your CPU running as cool as possible. The CPU cooler (or heatsink) is vital for this and without one your processor would quickly overheat and burn itself out. You should fully clean and reseat your CPU cooler occasionally to make sure it’s doing the best job possible. Even if you clean the dust out of your case on a regular basis, it’s still important to reseat your CPU cooler from time to time in order to protect your CPU from damaging heat.
What is a CPU Cooler?
The job of the CPU cooler is to suck up all the heat coming from the processor and wick it away. Usually this done with a large block of aluminum with fins that allow the most airflow possible. A fan on top or set in the middle draws air through the fins then pushes it away to get sucked out of the case by the exhaust fan. The tricky place is down where the aluminum block, otherwise known as the heatsink, comes into contact with the processor itself. There is always a small gap between the two that needs to be filled in otherwise the heat isn’t transferred and you end up with a toasty processor.
To fill in this gap a thermal paste is used. When you reseat the CPU cooler, the main job is to clean away the old paste and apply fresh stuff. Over time the paste becomes hard and lacks the heat transferring power it once had. By getting new paste in there you’re making sure your processor has the longest lifespan possible.
Getting Ready to Reseat the CPU Cooler
You’ll need some supplies before you reseat the CPU cooler. If you haven’t cleaned your computer for awhile the full setup should be required. Get canned air, lint-free wipes, cotton swabs, a clean paintbrush and some 99% solution rubbing alcohol. It’s quite a list but they all come in handy for the cleaning. You’ll want a standard phillips and flathead screwdriver to get the case apart and remove the CPU cooler.
Finally you’ll want to get that all important thermal paste. Reseating the CPU cooler is all about applying new thermal paste. It’s available at computer shops, some electronics stores and of course online. You’ll want to spring for the good stuff which is around eight dollars. Not very expensive. It comes in a variety of formulas but anything high quality should work.
Clean the CPU Cooler
Once you have everything, clean off a workspace like the kitchen table or a large coffee table. Shutdown your computer, disconnect all the cables then open it up. You’ll want to do a quick cleaning of all the general dust first with the canned air and wipes. Then you can get to actually reseating the CPU cooler. The cooler is fairly hard to miss, being a giant metal tower sitting in the middle of your motherboard.
First, you’ll want to unplug the cooler’s fan from the motherboard and remove it from the heatsink. Clean this fan thoroughly with the brush and cotton swabs with a little alcohol for the tough stuff. Put it aside for now. Next you’ll need to remove the heatsink itself which can be the frustrating part of the CPU cooler reseat.
Depending on the type of motherboard you have, either remove any screws that hold down the heatsink or gently flip the release switch if you have a mechanical latch. This is the tricky part of reseating the CPU cooler since the thermal paste has started to dry out and may have glued the heatsink to the processor.
Don’t pry it off with tools! Lift gently, wiggle it a little if needed but make sure you don’t rip the processor out with it. If you do you may bend pins on the processor. Once it comes loose you should see the top of the processor underneath which will be coated in thermal paste.
Use your wipes to clean off all of the old thermal paste on the heatsink and the top of the processor. Careful not to get old paste smeared on other parts of the motherboard. This can be one of the most time consuming parts of reseating your CPU cooler. Take your time and make sure you thoroughly get everything. You can thoroughly clean the heatsink now and get all that nasty dirt out of the fins.
Putting the paste on the CPU Cooler
When reseating a CPU cooler, exactly how to put on thermal paste is a highly debated topic. There are a variety of recommended methods but I prefer a two step process that covers all the bases. Obviously you’ll need thermal compound for this, if you don’t have any you can always order Arctic Silver 5 from Amazon. It’s the one we use, anyway.
First find an old credit card or something else similar to use as a scraper. Next dab a tiny pea sized amount of your new thermal paste on the bottom of the heatsink where it comes in contact with the processor. Then use your scraper to lightly remove the paste, pulling it across the face of the heatsink in every direction. The idea is to get paste into any imperfections or scratches that are in the metal. You should end up with a surface with almost no paste left on it except for anything that has been caught up low spots.
After you’ve done that, put a pea sized amount of thermal paste on the top of the processor, directly in the center. Then set the heatsink back on top, making sure to press down slowly and try to keep it straight up and down. Reseating the heatsink will spread out the paste evenly across the face of the processor. If you’ve put on too much it will ooze out the sides. If that happens, remove the heatsink, thoroughly clean the paste off and start again.
Secure the heatsink, reinstall the fan and make sure you plug it into the motherboard. You’re done reseating the CPU cooler. Double check that you haven’t left any globs of paste anywhere or that you’ve accidently loosened any other cords during your work. Close up the case and set everything back up. There’s a small chance you’ll notice an improvement in performance but the real benefit is a cooler running computer.
If you’re curious about how hot your processor is actually running, there are temperature monitors you can use to keep an eye on things. These can tell you if the reseating of your CPU cooler was done correctly and warn you of future problems that would require another cleaning. The best rule of thumb of course is to reseat your CPU cooler every two years and yearly if you don’t have the best cleaning habits or pets in the house.

The Baltimore City Council on Monday approved legislation that would ban employers from inquiring about arrest histories or conducting criminal background checks on most job candidates until after a conditional offer of employment is made.
The bill, part of a nationwide movement known as "ban-the-box," is intended to eliminate employment discrimination against people with criminal records by giving them a chance to get a job offer before disclosing their histories. About 60 cities in 10 states have passed similar rules.
The legislation passed despite heavy opposition from the business community, especially the Greater Baltimore Committee. It advances to Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who signaled in a statement that she intends to sign it.
"When it comes to the crime fight, we have to use every tool available, which includes creating opportunities for those who have paid their debt to society and want to turn their lives around," Rawlings-Blake said in a statement. "Access to a good job can make the difference between a repeat offender or a productive member of society."
The City Council bill excludes jobs for which a criminal conviction would preclude employment. Yet, Greater Baltimore Committee President Donald C. Fry has said the legislation would hurt Baltimore's reputation for business.
"There are many existing rules, regulations and expenses imposed on employers that make it more difficult and/or more expensive to do business in Baltimore City than in surrounding counties," Fry wrote in a March 14 letter to City Council President Bernard C. "Jack" Young. "This will just add one more layer of business regulation that threatens economic growth and private-sector job creation in the city."
Fry in particular called potential criminal penalties for companies that fail to adhere to the legislation "onerous."
Rawlings-Blake, though, said the bill "moves Baltimore in the right direction."


While the Chesapeake Bay as a whole reports a smaller-than-average dead zone this year, parts of the Severn River are still struggling with algae blooms and dead zones. River advocates say nutrient pollution at the top of the river is fueling the problem, and better prevention is needed.
Near the mouth of the Severn, the Annapolis Maritime Museum is well into a large-scale stormwater management project on Back Creek, to avoid just that kind of runoff. As Cheryl Costello reports, the Severn River Association is calling for more efforts like this one. Watch below:

So, I went to Jovanotti’s concert last night and let me tell you: the Italian superstar delivered! He got us dancing and kept us entertained with his joyous, genuine, and contagious energy. Jovanotti is definitely a GREAT live performer. He managed to project his energy all the way to the back of the room. American neophytes who have never heard his music before, and others like me who just know a few of his songs, connected to each one of them. The guy was as hot as the complete head-to-toe red outfit he was wearing for the occasion.
Jovanotti did not forget to acknowledge his hip-hop roots. He paid tribute to Black American musicians like Sugarhill Gang, and along with his funky music, he played some Mediterranean and Latino rhythms (he has two Brazilian percussionists in his band and ended the concert with a “Salsa” version of a piano tune). He even rapped and interacted with the audience in English, Spanish, and Italian, showing a musical and language versatility that goes hand-in-hand with his progressive global vision.
For someone who is a superstar and sells out stadiums in Europe, it was a special treat to see him perform in a more intimate concert venue such as the Vic Theater. Next time he is in town, you should go see him, even if you are not familiar with his music. You will enjoy the concert regardless! Here is some footage of last night’s concert. Enjoy!

Contemporary Romance, Mainstream fiction
A heart-wrenching debut novel in the bestselling tradition of P.S. I Love You about a young woman with breast cancer who undertakes a mission to find a new wife for her husband before she passes away.
Twenty-seven-year-old Daisy already beat breast cancer three years ago. How can this be happening to her again?
On the eve of what was supposed to be a triumphant "Cancerversary" with her husband Jack to celebrate three years of being cancer-free, Daisy suffers a devastating blow: her doctor tells her that the cancer is back, but this time it's an aggressive stage four diagnosis. She may have as few as four months left to live. Death is a frightening prospect—but not because she's afraid for herself. She's terrified of what will happen to her brilliant but otherwise charmingly helpless husband when she's no longer there to take care of him. It's this fear that keeps her up at night, until she stumbles on the solution: she has to find him another wife.
With a singular determination, Daisy scouts local parks and coffee shops and online dating sites looking for Jack's perfect match. But the further she gets on her quest, the more she questions the sanity of her plan. As the thought of her husband with another woman becomes all too real, Daisy's forced to decide what's more important in the short amount of time she has left: her husband's happiness—or her own?
Book Review by Ashia (reviewer)

BEFORE I GO is a heartbreaking tearjerker written with humor and compassion, and with the ability to make you appreciate the little moments that sometimes pass us by.
Daisy's cancer has returned, and she's terrified, not for herself, but for her brilliant but charmingly hopeless husband Jack. Who will take care of him when she's gone? So she sets out to find a wife for him in the time she has left, only to divine what her heart really wants...
I don't normally read books like this, but the summary grabbed me. Set against the backdrop of love, the author treated the subject of death and dying with sensitivity and compassion, depicting Daisy's journey as she and her loved ones struggle to adjust to a new reality.
Daisy is a strong, gutsy heroine, who faced her condition head-on. Her love for her husband may have driven her down some weird paths, but you can't deny the intention was good. Yet, such an exercise only served to prove what ultimately was really in her heart. I have to admit I thought she was crazy at times with the decisions she's made, but I guess sometimes we have to go through a process before we see what we really want. Or don't want.
Jack, Daisy's husband, is a sweetheart, the kind of man we wish we have at our sides. Kayleigh, Daisy's best friend, too. In a way, I do envy Daisy; she's got the best people in the world beside her--people who love her unconditionally, who are there for her through the good and bad times.
Touching and emotional, BEFORE I GO shows us a glimpse of how it can be to be faced with our own mortality and the strength such an experience draws from us.
Have some tissues beside you when you read; you'll need them.
