The ACC men's basketball coaches released their first-ever preseason poll on Monday, pegging Boston College to finish last in the conference. N.C. State is the favorite to win the ACC Regular Season title followed by Duke and North Carolina. Here is the full poll.
Team Predictions (first-place votes)
1. N.C. State Wolfpack (8) 139
2. Duke Blue Devils (3) 130
3. North Carolina Tar Heels (1) 124
4. Miami Hurricanes 104
5. Florida St. Seminoles 103
6. Maryland Terrapins 78
7. Virginia Cavaliers 68
8. Clemson Tigers 61
9. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 40
T10. Virginia Tech Hokies 32
T10. Wake Forest Demon Deacons 32
12. Boston College Eagles 25
I can't say I'm surprised that BC was picked to finish last. This year's ACC race seems to break down into three separate tiers with N.C. State, Duke and North Carolina at the top, Miami, Florida State, Maryland, Virginia somewhere in the middle and Clemson, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest and BC the group of teams most likely to finish towards the bottom of the league table. If I were to split hairs, I'd have Boston College well ahead of Virginia Tech and possibly tied with the Deacons. Clemson and Georgia Tech are also in that near indistinguishable group of programs likely to finish towards the bottom of the ACC in 2012-13.
No matter. On the bright side, BC can't fall short of the coaches' preseason expectations this season and will almost surely beat them.
In addition to predicting the regular season finish, the coaches also selected an All-ACC team, Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year.
Preseason ACC Player of the Year
C.J. Leslie, Jr., NC State
Preseason ACC Rookie of the Year
Rodney Purvis, Fr., NC State
Predictably, the coaches top pick in the preseason dominated the All-ACC, POY and ROY selections. In fact, the only player selected beyond Tobacco Road was Florida State senior guard Michael Snaer. Not surprised to see BC get shut out of the preseason All-ACC team. Give it a year or two.

Identifying monitor connection requirements
The following are various scenarios for connecting monitors. (See Matching graphics cards to monitor
connectors on page 26 for more information about the different graphic cards):
●Graphics card with DisplayPort output — If the workstation has a graphics card with four
DisplayPort output receptacles, you can connect a monitor to each receptacle. Use the proper
adapters if required.
●Graphics card with DVI output — If the workstation has a PCIe graphics card with two DVI
output receptacles, you can connect a monitor to each DVI receptacle. Use the proper adapters
NOTE:Some HP computers have only one DVI port. However, such computers will always
have a second graphics output option (Display Port or VGA). Note also that many graphics cards
provide more than two monitor outputs but limit you to using only two at a time. Consult the
graphics card documentation or look up information on the card according to the procedure in
Finding supported graphics cards on page 26.
NOTE:If you need to identify port number 1 on a system with two DVI connections, it provides
the primary display, which is where the BIOS POST screen appears after a system boot.
(Usually, this is the lower of the two outputs. Only one card is used during BIOS POST, although
you can change this in the BIOS settings.)
●Graphics card with SVGA and DVI-D output — If the workstation does not have a PCIe
graphics card, but has one or more SVGA and/or a DVI-D output receptacles located on the rear
panel of the workstation chassis, you can connect a monitor to each output.
●Graphics card with DMS-59 output — If the workstation has a PCIe graphics card with a
DMS-59 output receptacle, use the appropriate adapter to connect your monitors.
Adapters are available to connect the DMS-59 output to two DVI or two VGA monitors.

How to Program Cat Mate C50 For Meal?
After selecting the pet feeder our next question is how we can use it and how to program it for our cat. The catmate c50 easy to operate because it has only one tray with clock-wise counter. You have to set up time which you think good for your cat to eat. When the clock reaches the target time it releases the tray with food and opens it up.
Note: This feeder uses European Time System so you have to set counter according to that time.

Bloodstream infections in the ICU: incidence and outcome
Critical Care volume 10, Article number: P118 (2006)
To evaluate the risk factors for the incidence and the outcome of patients with bloodstream infections (BSIs) in a multidisciplinary ICU.
During a 1-year period (August 2004-July 2005), all ICU patients with more than 48 hours ICU stay were studied. All episodes of BSIs were recorded with the exception of those due to coagulase-negative staphylococci because of difficulties in the clinical interpretation. The prognostic value of clinical and laboratory variables were determined.
Of the 693 patients admitted to the ICU during the study period, 572 patients had a stay longer than 48 hours. Among them a total of 125 patients developed one or more episodes of BSI. There was a significant difference between patients with and without BSIs in the length of ICU stay (6 vs 26 days, median, respectively), and in days of mechanical ventilation (7 vs 26 days, median, respectively). The median time between ICU admission and the first BSI was 10 days. The most common isolated pathogen was Acinetobacter baumannii (32.5%), followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (21.3%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (13.8%), Enterobacter aerogenes (6.9%), Staphylococcus aureus(5.8%) and Enterococcus faecalis (5.3%). The APACHE II score on admission was significantly higher in patients with BSI (19 ± 6.3 vs 16 ± 7, P < 0.001). The best independent prognostic factors of the development of BSI were APACHE II score on admission (OR, 1.05; 95% CI 1.02–1.086, P < 0.001), the presence of ARDS (OR, 2.63; 95% CI 1.42–4.87, P = 0.002) and a history of diabetes (OR, 2.26; 95% CI 1.3–3.93, P = 0.004). The ICU mortality rate was 46.4% and 22% for patients with and without BSIs, respectively (P < 0.001). Independent predictors of mortality were admission APACHE II score (OR, 1.13; 95% CI 1.1–1.2, P < 0.001), and the presence of BSI (OR, 2.5; 95% CI 1.6–3.9, P < 0.001).
In our ICU patients the illness severity on admission, the history of diabetes and the presence of ARDS are risk factors for the incidence of BSI. The severity of illness and the presence of BSI are factors independently associated with the outcome.

Farmers markets, running trails, and tons of fitness studios define these popular towns
One of the perks of living in the city is the endless options when it comes to healthy living. From the freshest local produce to thousands of gyms and studios to green spaces packed with waterfront jogging paths, basketball courts and hiking trails, there’s no shortage of ways to get fit, eat healthily and ensure your kids are getting in on the action.
And in suburbia? The good news is tons of urban health and fitness trends have found their way to the ‘burbs—and that’s just the beginning. The NYC suburbs are home to some of the most health-focused towns anywhere. These hotspots are packed with the very best healthy living go-tos, from sought-after juice bars and plant-based cafes to local farmers markets, outdoor spaces, studios, gyms and, even, gorgeous walking trails—in other words, something for everyone, including the most discerning city families.
While chances are, you’ll find your healthy “tribe” in virtually any town, these suburbs topped our Strategists’ list of the healthiest, fittest and most on-the-move out there. Expect all things fresh, green and heart-pumping in these popular towns…
Rye Brook, NY (Westchester)
For a small town, Rye Brook has EVERYTHING a fitness enthusiast could possibly crave…and then some. When you’re ready to sweat, hit up the local SoulCycle, SLT or Ripped Fit, all in the Rye Ridge Shopping Center.
Outside of this workout epicenter, there’s also the local Club at 800 Squash & Fitness, Elevate Personal Training + MMA, The RITE Method Barre Studio and Rye Health & Fitness, among countless other popular hotspots.

Naturally, the healthy vibe doesn’t stop with the workout scene. Eateries like Chop’t and Dig Inn are popular city transplants with great green menus, and Organic Pharmer is always packed with the juicing and plant-based set. And, speaking of plants, there are plenty of nearby options for whole, local and organic food, including the Down to Earth Rye Farmers Market and Port Chester Farmers, not far from the Whole Foods.
Port Washington, NY (Long Island)
“Port” is a waterfront community with a sub-30 minute rush hour train into and out of Penn Station. But that’s not all that’s drawing NYC families.

The Rivertowns (Westchester)
The Rivertowns all consistently rank among the top places to live in New York—and there’s a reason. With great schools, a quick commute and amazing amenities, there’s a reason so many city families want to call these communities “home.” And if you’re big on the health and fitness scene? Then there are even more…
In any of the Rivertowns, you’ll find walking trails winding around the water, youth and adult sports leagues, endless options to break a sweat.

So, Tamra Barney, who has been peddling the redemption storyline this season, was trying to convince us that she and Gretchen had really moved past seasons worth of hatred. But alas when the two got started with wedding wars, all hell broke loose!
The story goes that Gretchen and Slave Smiley were supposed to get engaged last season on TV and get a wedding spinoff/storyline. But Slave screwed up with all his child support woes and bad behavior that made fans detest him so Bravo conspired behind their backs and pawned the engagement storyline off on Tamra.
This reality TV star's husband seems to have it all: a hot marriage, a gorgeous mansion, a hit TV show… everything but hair!
What viewers don't know is the studly Mr. Everything gets a little bit of help in the looks department. No it's not Botox or plastic surgery! He's reportedly using 'hair in a can' to make his receding hair line disappear; a trick that's also popular with a certain A-list actor who is known for his shoe polish black locks!
He's been keeping his under-used noggin concealed under a plethora of hats! The hats aren't just a fashion statement – they're doing double-duty!
Thank you to a certain source, who we're sure would like to remain 'in the blind' for the hot tip!
TELL US – WHO DO YOU THINK IS FOLLICLY CHALLENGED?
Nicole Murphy is certainly the HBIC on Hollywood Exes. The stunning beauty who is often the calm that holds the group together helped create the show which gives viewers an exclusive glimpse into the aftermath of an A-List marriage. And Nicole definitely wants viewers to know the show is honest.
"You know what? It's real," Nicoletells Ebony. "Thank God these women are my friends and we’ve all been through similar situations on different levels. It’s like a sisterhood that we have, and it’s a great support system all in one."
Nicole says the women strive to be authentic on the show. "The people that I’ve been working with—the cameramen, the producers and all them—they actually become like a second family. They become your friend and you forget that camera is there eventually. Eventually you’ll be like, 'Oh shoot, I didn’t say that! Did I say that? Oh God!'"
A few weeks agoBrooks Ayers tried to seek some attention and con Vicki Gunvalson back into loving him by spilling deets of their break-up on twitter. Vicki never actually confirmed or denied the relationship ending… until now!
The Real Housewives of Orange County star admits that her "love tank is empty" once again! “I‘m single now," Vickireveals to RadarOnline. "We have decided to remain friends but we have decided to move on and date other people.”
Perhaps Vicki's decision to end things with Brooks came after her business partner planned to sue her over one of Brooks' grifting schemes! “We came to the realization that it was harder to stay together than it was to be apart,” VIcki says of their relationship ending.
I imagine it's pretty easy to sell out of something that you've only made 10 of while killing some time in the bedroom you still live in at your mom's house, but hey that's life as a Princesses: Long Island success story, right?!
Amanda Bertoncini, whose entrepreneurish spirit led to the creation of "Drink Hanky", faced some controversy when a photo shoot for the brand featured a memorial statue of a 9/11 fire fighter was shown sipping on a beer wrapped in a Drink Hanky. Apparently the controversy only brought more attention to the ridiculous product.
Drink Hanky recently announced on twitter that Amanda's creations, selling for $4.99 each, are currently unavailable because they've sold out!
Dang someone is getting more chances than Lindsay Lohan and his name is Joe Giudice!
The Real Housewives of New Jersey star's trial for identity fraud has been postponed yet again and this time the official re-set date is October 28th! Joe's trial was supposed to begin last week but his attorney was detained on a murder case that ran long so he petitioned to have the date pushed back. The prosecution, who is ready despite finding new evidence against Joe, was fine with the delay.
Just a reminder, Joe is charged with "wrongfully using identifying information of another person, a second-degree crime carrying 10 years in prison, and forgery, a fourth-degree crime that carries an 18-month maximum prison sentence. He is currently free on $50,000 bail."
"I have no idea why some of my own family members said the things they did on this episode. It's beyond hurtful. Kids are supposed to be off limits, but they talk about mine. Marriages are supposed to be off limits, but they talk about mine," Teresabegins. "As much as Melissa likes to talk to everyone about me trying to break up her marriage, I have never, ever done that and I never would."

1 Select the camp to pay attention to avoid geological disasters prone to place, specifically, landslides and debris flow is more frequent place. Before the camping must be carefully observed geological and geomorphological, do not choose the serious weathering under the hillside to build camps, because this mountain slope is usually more sand and rock, rock if the roll, the consequences would be disastrous,Camping Cot if the soil is easy to cut the soil is easy to debris flow , And do not build a camp where the debris flow is easy.
2 thunderstorms When choosing a campsite, be sure to take care. Can not build a camp in the Peak, so as to avoid lightning. Thunderstorms are most likely to cause flash floods,Camping Cot so thunderstorms can not be in the valley, the beach to build camps, so as not to suffer flash floods.
3 sunny weather, the best place to build camps should be a wide river bank or stream side and the ridge of the. On the other side of the river near the river, or easy to operate;Camping Cot the other hand close to the water, easy to take water, easy to drink; there is a point is beautiful scenery.

But the team is auditioning for backups at the position.
Thursday's latest participant was tackle Darrion Weems, who has never played the position before.
"Just a different animal," Weems said of practicing at guard on Thursday. "Tackle everything you get to be more patient and kind of wait for things to happen a little bit more or less. At guard, everything happens quicker. It’s like, ‘Boom! It’s all in your face.’ Everything has to be kind of on the line. It’s not that bad, though. I kind of like it. I think [Bill] Callahan just wanted to see me in there. He was like, ‘Yeah, Weemer, let me get a look at you at guard today.'"
Of course, the Cowboys want to make sure continuity is built along the line and are just mixing and matching players as a precaution. Offensive line coach and playcaller Bill Callahan wants his offensive linemen to play multiple spots in case a starter goes down with an injury.
"Yeah, we continue to develop [practice squad guard] David Arkin, who is back," Callahan said. "He’s done some good things. We’re still utilizing Ron [Leary] and Mackenzy Bernadeau and of course with that putting Weems into that spot as well. So we’re moving everybody that we can to try to get reps and try to assess and try to build the depth so to speak."

Arctic announces the Accelero Hybrid III-140 video card cooling solution. The highly efficient Accelero Hybrid III-140 is the all-in-one package for real performance junkies. It combines Water Cooling Solution for the GPU with a 140 mm radiator and a special VRM and RAM cooling for outstanding power.
With a cooling capacity of 300 watts this powerhouse lowers the temperature of even the most powerful GPU. A particularly large water contact surface ensures that the heat can be dissipated quickly. Special attention is given to the voltage regulator module: Individually made VRM heat sinks for NVIDIA and AMD graphic boards and an 80 mm fan provide not only a long service life but especially a better VRM cooling than ever before. And the random access memory also receives a special treatment: A smaller, specially adapted back plate cools the RAM separately to guarantee best efficiency. A gluing of heat sinks on the video card is not necessary.

If you do it with MB open, I think it actually does detect the folder changes. I remember seeing something about that.
If you don't have a lot of play history or haven't created a bunch of playlists that you'd worry about losing, yes, recreating the library from scratch is probably the way to go.
If you have data built up in the library that you don't want to lose, your options are to move the files back to where they started and move them the right way, to use the "Relink" utility to remap them in bulk (you can do this multiple times with multiple folders if there are just a handful) or to use the Tools->Locate Missing Files utility.

Sheridan author and outdoors writer Tom McIntyre has a wondrous novel out, his first, “The Snow Leopard’s Tale.” It’s about Xue Bao, a snow leopard living an untamed existence on Black Mountain in Central Asia. McIntyre traveled and hunted in this area, enabling him a unique perspective on developing the book’s primary character.
One critic notes: “This book is inspiring…riveting and wonderful. It boils down the human soul to the bare elements of our once-free existence….Xue Bao’s journey not only leads the reader through Black Mountain (and through the city), but also contemplates our ability to learn, to adapt and overcome the perilous events that life throws our way.”
Bob Krumm of the Billings Gazette, too, gave Tom’s book high marks. As did Ted Kerasote of Kelly, Wyo., also a novelist and celebrated outdoor writing essayist. Writes Kerasote of McIntyre’s book: “It is haunting, beautifully written and thought-provoking tale, as all great parables are.”
Tom is one of The Sheridan Press’ outdoors page columnists, joining us more than a year ago. He writes a fortnightly column on Thursdays, rotating with fishing writer Gordon Rose. Tom also writes for “Field & Stream” magazine and “Sports Afield.”
He began writing for “Sports Afield” more than 35 years ago and is the magazine’s longest-tenured writer. He’s also written another book, “Shooter’s Bible Guide to Optics,” and is considered a leading national authority on riflescopes, range finders and binoculars. He’s hunted on six continents.
He and his wife Elaine moved to Sheridan more than 20 years ago. When asked why, “I came here because I could.” An apt response, which has been heard often. Their son, Bryan, is a recent U. of Iowa graduate. Tom, 61, whispers he’s a “southern California native,” and left there after the riots of 1972. “When I saw the National Guard coming down the street with a tank, it was time to go.”
His outdoor writing in nationally-circulated magazines, as well as The Press, is one way he makes a living. Another is how he writes scripts for Orion Entertainment, a major production company for outdoor shows.
“I started out like many others to be Hemingway, but became an outdoor writer where I made money,” Tom says over coffee last week at the Red Velvet Bakery on Main Street. He adds that his novel, written and re-written over a period of 14 years, was inspired partly from the June 1985 National Geographic cover, often refered to as “the girl with the eyes.” Snow leopards have eyes like no other, he says. (The cover portrait by photojournalist Steve McCurry is one of the magazine’s most famous and is of Sharbat Gula, then a young Afghanistan teenager and member of the Pashtun tribe, the country’s most warlike. She is a mother of three and had never been photographed before.)
McIntyre also drew inspiration from his hunting expeditions in Tibet at 16,000 feet where he was affected by the sight of snow leopard pelts stacked high, victims of poachers. His next hunting trips abroad will be next year in Tunisia and Cameroon.
Incidentally, Sheridan artist Joel Ostlind did the artwork for the front and rear covers of the book
His book is available at Sheridan Stationery, Books & Gallery.

I have numerous areas of severe pain in my back,neck, legs, and feet, + have suffered for 25 years from Fibro. I was so impressed with this cream!! It takes so little - not even a full squeeze of cream to cover my entire foot, or my spine, neck, and lower back. The cream does NOT need to be massaged into the painful area - just applied to the surface. Less than five minutes later, whammo! Literally NO PAIN, and it lasted for most of the day. I'm talking hours upon hours of relief!
Various strains of "medical marijuana" are found to have a significant variation in the ratios of CBD-to-THC, and are known to contain other non-psychotropic cannabinoids. Any psychoactive marijuana, regardless of its CBD content, is derived from the flower (or bud) of the genus Cannabis. Non-psychoactive hemp (also commonly-termed industrial hemp), regardless of its CBD content, is any part of the cannabis plant, whether growing or not, containing a ∆-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of no more than three-tenths of one percent (0.3%) on a dry weight basis. Certain standards are required for legal growing, cultivating and producing the hemp plant. The Colorado Industrial Hemp Program registers growers of industrial hemp and samples crops to verify that the THC concentration does not exceed 0.3% on a dry weight basis.
Hemp Oil contains naturally occurring phyto-cannabinoids, including CBD. It is widely consumed for its numerous wellness properties: as mild analgesic, antiinflamatory, antioxidant and antiemetic to name a few. Sträva uses the finest, full-spectrum hemp oil sourced from respected growers in Europe and Colorado. This oil is naturally rich in phyto-cannabinoids, including CBD, as well as constituents such as amino acids, vitamins B1, B2 and D, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, minerals zinc, calcium and magnesium. Hemp Oil and CBD are non-psychoactive and do not produce a "high."

Those warning letters aside, there’s not a lot of federal oversight right now over the claims being made or the products that are being sold. Cohen warned against buying CBD products online, because “there’s a lot of scams out there.” Yet his clinic sells CBD, and he admits, “I say ‘Don’t buy online,’ but ours is worth doing, because we know what we’re doing. We ship all over.”
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.
There are a few ways to get CBD into your body. The most common, used in both clinical trials and consumer products, is via an oil in which CBD, which is naturally soluble in fat, has been dissolved. CBD oil can be taken orally, inhaled as a vape, or applied topically. Topical application is supposed to work sort of the way Icy Hot does, affecting a local muscle area specifically to reduce aches and pains, but the other methods produce full-brain and -body effects.
An excellent example is the use of CBD (and also THC) products for the self-medicating of cancer, with the intention of fully curing it . This is based on an increasing body of preclinical evidence showing cannabinoids to be capable, under some conditions, of inhibiting the development of cancer cells in vitro or in vivo by various mechanisms of action, including induction of apoptosis, inhibition of angiogenesis, and arresting the cell cycle . This is certainly exciting news, and research is ongoing around the world, but there is no solid clinical evidence yet to support that cannabinoids – whether natural or synthetic – can effectively and safely treat cancer in actual humans . In fact, there are indications that certain types of cancer may even accelerate when exposed to cannabinoids . This becomes problematic when patients choose to refuse chemotherapy treatment because they firmly believe in the rumored curative properties of cannabinoids. As a result, recommendation of cannabinoids for treating cancer should be done with great care, and with distinction as to the type of cancer being treated .
CBD Topicals are topically applied creams, balms, lotions, salves and other ointments for the skin. From transdermal CBD creams to targeted topicals or salves, CBD Oil Solutions offers a wide range of CBD Oil Topicals. The products contain an active amount of Cannabidiol and cannabinoids that have shown a wide range of benefits both to the skin externally and the muscles, tendons and joints below the surface.
CBD produced in the United States is by far superior to the lower quality extracts imported from overseas. With lenient regulations in countries throughout Europe and China, we urge you to take the time to properly educate yourself before buying CBD imported from overseas. With our proprietary strain and the industry's most innovative extraction techniques, we guarantee the highest quality CBD available.
I have read that ACDC is good for tremors. It has not been easy to find, so I can’t give my experience yet. I have noticed an improvement in my typing since I started my CBD capsules. Also my clients have commented that I don’t shake as much. A company in Calaifornia called CannaKids carries a oil in a syringe that is made from ACDC and they use it to treat cancer in children. You could put that in a capsule if you don’t want to just eat it. I just used some right now.
The CBD utilized in our tinctures is extracted from industrial hemp cultivated in the United States. To further ensure quality and purity, our industrial hemp goes through a supercritical CO2 extraction process to obtain the best possible CBD solution. This solution is then formulated by our board-certified pharmacists into finished products and sent out for third-party testing. Our CBD oil is made with high-quality CBD extracted from organic hemp that is abundant in naturally produced terpenes, oils, vitamins, omega fatty acids, and other components.
Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of reasons to recommend CBD (short for cannabidiol) in general, and I can’t even imagine my life without coffee. But is this combination a realistic go-to for caffeine consumption, or, as High Times says, a weird wellness trend that should be nipped in the bud? I decided to find out, but quickly realized that—like many things involving cannabis and science—the answer depends on who you ask.
Two additional studies in this area were done using CBD oil. In the first one, 214 participants would take 0.9 to 2.3 grams of oil per 1 pound of body weight. CBD successfully reduced seizures by a median of 36.5%. The second study focused on children who suffered from Dravet syndrome. Dravet syndrome is a type of epilepsy that happens in early infancy. Normally high temperatures and fevers trigger it. The results of the second study showed that CBD oil reduced seizures significantly.
In fact, the majority of them report that CBD actually seems to work phenomenally well with the caffeine – they claim that it reduces cases of the “jitters” (which makes sense considering that CBD is a well-known anti-spasmodic), and also that it works wonders in terms of elevating mood, increasing mental acuity, and promoting general productivity.
As a healthcare professional I have realized over the years that most physicians and our healthcare system in general are all set up to focus almost entirely on symptoms and the disease state as a problem to treat, not prevent unfortunately. The training that most physicians receive is almost completely pharmacologicaly focused and consequently they treat patients almost as if they are a car to be fixed rather than as a living breathing being.
High-CBD strains tend to deliver very clear-headed, functional effects without the euphoric high associated with high-THC strains. They’re typically preferred by consumers who are extremely sensitive to the side effects of THC (e.g., anxiety, paranoia, dizziness). A high-CBD strain would also be a great choice for someone needing to medicate throughout the day to control pain, inflammation, anxiety, or other chronic conditions.
Hi Kim — I hope you have found some relief over the past three months since you posted. I am 27 and have already been through four foot surgeries for arthritis, and will be having my hip operated on next month. I’ve tried everything over the last 8 years since this all started, and deal with a lot of the same issues you described (very poor sleep, limited mobility, etc.).
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.
The price of CBD oil is ridiculously high, however, I do seem to have less pain and get a better sleep when taken before bed. I just checked out Amazon and all of their hemp oil says it has no CBD in it, and yet they all claim to reduce stress and pain and allow you to get better sleep. So what is the deal? Is it all psychological? Of course the prices at Amazon are way cheaper too. I am going to try it.
But, uh, what is it that CBD is supposed to do? I visited a cannabis dispensary in Boulder to find out what the hype was all about. After passing an ID check, I was introduced to a “budtender” who pointed me to an impressive array of CBD products — tinctures, skin patches, drink powders, candies, salves, massage oil, lotions, “sexy time personal intimacy oil” and even vaginal suppositories to treat menstrual cramps.
In the meantime, some physicians are forging ahead — and cashing in. Joe Cohen is a doctor at Holos Health, a medical marijuana clinic in Boulder. I asked him what CBD is good for, and he read me a long list of conditions: pain, inflammation, nausea, vomiting, intestinal cramping, anxiety, psychosis, muscle spasms, hyperactive immune systems, nervous system degeneration, elevated blood sugar and more. He also claimed that CBD has anti-cancer properties and can regenerate brain cells and reduce the brain’s levels of amyloid beta — a kind of protein that’s been linked to Alzheimer’s disease. I asked for references, noting that most of these weren’t listed in the Academies report or a similar review published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. “I think you just have to Google search it,” he said. It’s true that a preliminary study found hints that cannabinoids might reduce beta amyloid proteins in human brain cells, but the study was done in cells grown in a lab, not in people. As for cancer, the FDA sent warning letters last year to four companies that were selling products that claimed to “prevent, diagnose, treat or cure” cancer.
McGuire doesn’t advise buying CBD products. You need to differentiate, he says, between the extremely high doses of pharmaceutical-grade pure CBD that participants in the handful of successful studies were given and the dietary supplements available over the counter or online. “These may contain quite small amounts of CBD that might not have large enough concentrations to have any effects,” he says. “It’s the difference between a nutraceutical and a pharmaceutical.” These supplements aren’t allowed to make claims of any effects. “If you’re making creams or sports drinks with CBD, you can say anything you like as long as you don’t say it will do such and such,” he says.
First off I’m shocked at all you people in the so- called cannabis industry think there’s some new type of cannabis out there called hemp there’s three types of cannabis…. cannabis ruderalis, cannabis Indica, Cannabis sativa, there’s no new strain called hemp. It’s not cannabis or hemp or marijuana that gets you high it is THC before you post stuff you should do a little more research and I’ll tell you what this is all about just like I said for 5 years with everyone disagreeing its GW Pharmaceuticals say goodbye to all extracts and normally it’s three hundred bucks an hour that was 4 minutes it’s on the house
Scientifically, the difference between what we refer to as hemp and marijuana comes from the intention the strain was bred for. The main difference between hemp and marijuana is the level of THC in the plant. Hemp has high levels of cannabidiol (CBD) and very low levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Marijuana is recognized for having high levels of THC and lower in CBD. In order to be considered hemp, the plant must have less than 0.3 percent THC. High levels of THC are responsible for the intoxicating feeling that marijuana is known for.
Hemp pertains to a strain of Cannabis Sativa that has been bred precisely for oils and topical ointments, fiber used for clothing and construction, nutritional benefits, and a broad thriving variety of other purposes that do not involve the euphoria that is associated with marijuana. Hemp is a fast growing plant and was one of the first plants to be spun into usable fiber more than 10,000 years ago.
Kat’s Naturals offers five non-THC tinctures of varying concentrations: Heal and Naked (1,500mg), Balance (750mg), Metabolize (500mg), and Relax (300mg). All five tinctures are available in 5mL to 30mL containers, which can sustain users anywhere from five days to four weeks, depending on their dosage. Kat’s Naturals tinctures are derived from 99% pure fat soluble CBD isolate and pose no risk for yielding positive results on drug tests. For best results, Kat’s Naturals recommends ingesting three to five drops under the tongue and holding them in place for 60 seconds.
...with due respect, your experience Locsta is almost precisely what happened with my....chihuahua. Degenerative disc disease, excruciating pain, prednisone worked, but couldn't keep her on it..pain killers and muscle relaxants didn't help, really thought I would have to put her down. Chi bloggers suggested CBD; gave PetReleaf a shot--like you, literally within minutes I could see the difference, in days she was pain free and now is back in charge of our world. The real key here is that with my dog, there is zero, nada, chance that there was any placebo effect...
In the European Union (EU), the cultivation of certain cannabis varieties is granted provided they are registered in the EU’s Common Catalogue of Varieties of Agricultural Plant Species  and the THC content does not exceed 0.2% of the dried flowers of the plant . In Canada, hemp is allowed to contain 0.3% THC , while Switzerland allows up to 1% THC . In most countries, viable seeds for planting may be purchased from certified seed companies only, in order to make sure that the correct hemp variety is indeed being cultivated. Additionally, hemp may typically only be grown in agricultural fields outdoors, while indoor cultivation is usually forbidden. In some countries (e.g., The Netherlands), growing hemp is allowed only with the intent to produce fibers or seeds. As a result, the act of harvesting fiber cannabis for its CBD is a violation of narcotics laws . New cannabis varieties (for example developed to yield a higher content of CBD) are not (yet) registered as approved hemp varieties, and therefore cannot be freely cultivated, while the official registration process takes several years to complete.
Though unflavored and priced higher than competitors, Green Roads CBD oils are made by a trusted manufacturer and use organically grown hemp. Following the CO2 supercritical fluid extraction process, board-certified pharmacists formulate the tincture by hand. Green Roads only sells CBD isolates, so if you’re looking for broad-spectrum products look to some of our other recommendations.

A two-day visit to Serbia by French President Emmanuel Macron, which came to a close on July 16, was designed to repair the damaged reputation of Paris and the entire European Union in the Balkan settlement, particularly, in Kosovo. A meeting of Presidents of Serbia and Kosovo, Aleksandar Vučić and Hashim Thaci, with Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, which took place in Berlin at the end of April, ended without result, mainly due to differences between Paris and Berlin on the partition of Kosovo. A similar meeting scheduled for the beginning of July in Paris, did not go ahead at all due to a widening gap in the positions of the parties involved. The Balkan capitals are talking ever louder about Europe’s inability to propose to the Balkans at least some effective scenarios and signal the need to attract the United States in securing the Balkan settlement, which would in fact mean the EU is facing a “vote of no confidence” in the Balkans.
From this point of view, the French leader and his Serbian counterpart managed to achieve some progress. The two parties agreed to gather for the next Kosovo summit in Paris in September.
Speaking of the European political scene, it is Emmanuel Macron who advocates a strong and united European Union, which adapts to the socio-economic specifics of various regions.
Contributing to such an adaptation is the concept of “Europe of two velocities” and of “zones of strong and weak euro”, which come from the transformation of a formally unified EU into a two-tier structure consisting of the financially and economically strong “core” and the weak “periphery”, which comprises, among others, the Balkans.
It is precisely this that causes current friction between France and Germany. Chancellor Angela Merkel strongly opposes any division lines in the European Union, be it political and economic ones, and is against re-considering the existing borders. The latter circumstance directly concerns the Balkans in general and Kosovo in particular, since the division of Kosovo into Serb and Albanian parts underlies a scenario that has been under discussion over the past year in Belgrade and in Pristina. It is this plan, or rather, a fierce rejection of it by Angela Merkel (Emmanuel Macron seems to be in favor of it) that, according to reports, led to the failure of the April summit on Kosovo in Berlin and became the main reason for the negotiating parties’ unwillingness to gather in Paris at the beginning of July.
“Those who listened attentively to what President Macron said, understood that they have their own debates and have their own problems to resolve, while we should concentrate on the problems of the region, achieve the best relations possible – in this case we will become stronger and more powerful”, - the Serbian President said commenting on the results of the talks in Belgrade, differences within the European Union itself, and his own vision of how to normalize relations with Kosovo. Speaking in the run-up to negotiations, Aleksandar Vucic emphasized that “Macron is one of the top two European leaders and the person of the future.” He described his French counterpart as "a hardworking and energetic person who is not always easy to deal with."
The French president did not make it a secret from his Serbian counterpart what kind of problems he faces in the EU proper. According to the Belgrade-based Politika, during a closed meeting of the two leaders with Serbian students, Emmanuel Macron complained about the difficulties of passing any decisions in the European Union and reiterated the need to "modernize" the EU. Aleksandar Vučić, for his part, reaffirmed his commitment to a “compromise solution” on Kosovo, which, in his opinion, would lead to the normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina.
Simultaneously, the Serbian president made it clear that Belgrade is ready to reconsider its tough position regarding the decision of the Kosovo authorities adopted at the end of 2018 to impose 100% protective duties on products from Serbia (as well as from Bosnia and Herzegovina). Until now, Belgrade has cited this anti-Serb measure as the main reason for lack of progress in negotiations with Pristina. However, his rhetoric seems to be changing. “I think it's time to talk anew about some things. I’d hate to slap the blame on the other party and talk about duties; let us give the great powers an opportunity to do their job, ” - said Aleksandar Vucic in the presence of Emmanuel Macron, hinting at the Serbian leaders’ readiness for new compromises. “We are witnessing an upsurge in tension and this tension at times feeds on assistance from external forces that are interested to see to it that a solution is not found,” - Emmanuel Macron remarked, implying that Serbia, Kosovo and France would be able to address the problem of Kosovo more successfully, if there were no obstacles from the outside. In the next few weeks, he said, he would make all the necessary efforts to organize a four-party meeting in Paris with the participation of leaders of France, Germany, Serbia and Kosovo in order to secure a “global and achievable solution” on Kosovo.
What could become such a solution is an agreement on the division of Kosovo with Belgrade retaining control over its northern, Serb-populated regions. Over the past year, Belgrade and Pristina have worked out two draft agreements on the normalization of bilateral relations regarding territorial claims. The corresponding maps were prepared on the basis of an agreement on the delineation of borders, which Hashim Thaci and Aleksandar Vucic reached in August 2018 at the European Forum in Austria. The document was supposed to be signed in Brussels in early September 2018 with the participation of the EU leadership. However, disagreements over the principles of demarcation, as well as protests by opposition forces in Belgrade and Pristina, disrupted the schedule.
The Pristina plan proceeds from the fact that the Serbian-Albanian delineation plan should be a “package”- based one, envisaging a comprehensive exchange of territories, including Kosovo’s Serb-populated areas, which constitute a fifth of the region’s territory, the mainly Albanian-populated Bujanovac and Presevo communities adjacent to Kosovo, and, if possible, the community of Medveda, where the population ratio is gradually changing in favor of the Albanians. That the Pristina authorities should transfer part of the territory of Kosovo to Serbian control was indicated by Hashim Thaci at the beginning of 2019, as he spoke at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington. In his words, the signing of the relevant agreement with Belgrade in Brussels under the patronage of the EU will allow Kosovo to receive recognition from Serbia and join the UN: “If a minor border adjustment is the price to pay for a final settlement, this should be acceptable.” The resulting document, Hashim Tachi said, must be signed "with the support of the United States." Russia, he said, “seems ready to accept an agreement which will be reached” between the parties concerned.
What is meant by the above mentioned is "commitment to achieve a comprehensive peace agreement between Kosovo and Serbia, which will guarantee Kosovo a place in the UN and will enable it at the appropriate time to join NATO allies and the EU," - the Kosovo leader explained on Twitter.
According to the latest census of Serbia’s population, Presevo is home to 89% of Albanians and 9% of Serbs, Bujanovac is populated by 55% of Albanians and 34% of Serbs, and Medveda – by 26% of Albanians and 67% of Serbs.
The proposed agreement, including in terms of relevant territorial exchanges between Belgrade and Pristina, is supported by the United States. For US President Donald Trump, international conflicts should be settled within the format of bilateral business deals, while his National Security Adviser, John Bolton, has already made it clear that Washington does not “rule out the possibility of re-drawing borders” in the Balkans if “both sides are ready for a compromise between themselves and come to agreement."
“If Serbia and Kosovo manage to come to agreement on the re-drawing of the border, Austria will definitely not be against this,” - the former (and, most likely, the next) Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said in support of this approach.
However, the agreement in question has many opponents. Among them are not only nationalist and radical forces in Serbia and Kosovo, but also influential players on the European scene. In particular, the former UN special envoy in the Balkans, Carl Bildt, is categorically against changes of borders in the Balkans: “When you do that, you know where to stop but you don’t know how it will end. Borders are borders, they are not to be touched. Many borders in Europe are drawn with blood, and if you change them, you cannot be sure what will happen next. ”
The differences between Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel, which do make it difficult for the EU to act as an active and independent player, including in the Balkans, are likely to persist in the coming months. According to the Croatian edition Advance, “ French President, Emmanuel Macron, has been skeptical of late about further enlargement of the European Union. However, some do not share his views, ”including the Federal Chancellor of Germany. “I agree with President Macron that the mechanisms of the European Union need to be improved, but I do not associate this process with a refusal to negotiate membership in the European Union,” – Advance quotes her as saying at the recent EU summit on Western Balkans in Poland. Advance then continues to analyze the layout of forces in the France-Germany-USA triangle: “Trump will be the last to support the expansion of the European Union. Moreover, he will seek to cut down the existing EU (Brexit and possible future “exits”) during the potential second mandate even more actively than now. Besides, Macron has already made it clear that he is ready to support Trump’s position if he finds it more beneficial (attitude towards Syria, criticism of the Iranian ballistic program, and so on). And Macron will most likely go for it, because he expects Washington to approve him in the role of the “top figure” of what is and will be known as the European Union. ”
Russia has repeatedly pointed out that it will support the agreements between Belgrade and Pristina, if they meet the interests of the Serbian side. In addition to reducing tensions in the Balkan region, normalization of relations between Serbia and Kosovo would ensure their greater participation in Russian infrastructure and energy projects, including in terms of connection to Russian gas transportation routes. In particular, this could mean stretching an export line of the Turkish Stream gas pipeline through the territory of Southern Serbia and a possible branch from it through Kosovo and further to the Adriatic Sea, with a view to plug in Italy.

People who get a new dog after one dies may not feel an immediate connection. It can take time to love a new dog, leaving you wondering whether you will ever love them at all.
These feelings are completely normal and valid, and everyone processes loss differently.
Some may be ready to welcome a new dog weeks later, while others require months or even years.
If you’ve welcomed a new dog into your life after losing another one, it’s important to be kind to yourself.
Going into the new relationship with an open mindset and the right expectations will help pave the path to success.
Just because it’s not love at first sight doesn’t mean that you won’t ever feel love for your new companion.
Is It Possible to Love a New Dog Even if You Aren’t Over the One You Lost?
The answer to this question isn’t necessarily whether you can or can’t love a new dog. It’s whether you are ready to love a new dog.
Humans have an enormous capacity to love. Opening our hearts to a new pet will only expand the love we have to give.
You must go into the new relationship with the expectation that the love will be different but can be just as strong.
Just as parents may connect more with one child over another, it doesn’t mean they love that child more than the others. They just love them differently.
Give Yourself Permission to Love a New Dog
Just because you welcome a new dog into your life doesn’t mean you will just forget about the old dog.
You may feel guilty about getting a new dog and feel like you’re cheating on or replacing your old dog, but no pet will ever replace the one you lost.
If the dog you just lost was your “heart dog,” then it’s natural to feel like it’s impossible to love a new dog even if you aren’t over the one that died.
Some pet owners find that formally honoring the memory of their old dog helps create space for the new one.
How Long Does It Take to Love a New Dog?
Again, there is no cut-and-dry answer to this question. Dogs are individuals, and each comes with their own personality and needs.
You may fall head over heels for a dog you meet at the shelter.
Maybe you bring home a very challenging dog, and it can feel like you’ll never be able to love them.
Other dogs might have easygoing personalities and be easier to love from the start.
If you go into expecting the new dog to behave and act just like your old one, then you may never love the new dog.
It’s easy to forget about the difficult times with your old dog before they were trained. All dogs have a “breaking in” period and won’t be the perfect dog from the start.
Setting realistic expectations and going into the relationship with an open mind will help create room for love in your heart.
Bonding With a New Dog
Building your bond is one of the best ways to connect with a new dog. Even a few short sessions daily will give you the time to build your relationship and develop a bond.
Here are a few ways to get started:
- Hand feed your dog all meals through training
- Teach your dog some new tricks
- Play tug games while working on training
- Create boundaries for your dog at home
- Develop and stick to a routine
Dogs thrive when they have leadership, so even if a new dog acts out in the first days or weeks in your home, creating structure for them will go a long way as you begin your relationship.
Allow Your New Dog to Acclimate to Their New Home
Remember that going into a new home with new people can be incredibly stressful for a new dog, especially if they are a rescue.
Give your dog space during the first few days at home. Don’t smother them with affection and cuddles.
Try to keep the home calm and avoid inviting too many new people over during the transition period.
They may sleep a lot, lack confidence, and will undoubtedly make mistakes as they learn.
Have patience and teach them acceptable behaviors and what is expected of them.
This will show your dog you respect them as they learn to trust you. They may not feel certain that they will love you, either!
In a few weeks, your dog will likely feel more comfortable in your home as they learn the rules and routines. But some dogs will take longer to feel safe.
Conclusion: How Long Does It Take to Love a New Dog
When it comes to welcoming a new dog into your life, there is no “right” or “wrong” timeline.
Some dog owners will be ready to take this step far earlier than others, and that’s okay! Be patient with yourself and give yourself time to work through your grief.
As you start to build a relationship with your new dog, don’t set unreasonable expectations. Especially if the dog that you have recently lost was your “heart dog.”
Focus on establishing a relationship and building your bond a little each day. Your new dog won’t replace your previous one, but they can find their own special place in your heart.

Last month, when the U.S. Census Bureau abruptly announced that its field operations would wrap up on September 30 — a month earlier than previously scheduled — experts feared that the move would result in errors or a potential undercount of the population in the United States. According to a leaked Census Bureau document sent to members of Congress and obtained by NBC News, those concerns were not unfounded.
The document, sent to the House Oversight Committee, warns that the September deadline could lead to “serious errors” that could undermine the $15.6 billion operation. “A compressed review period creates risk for serious errors not being discovered in the data — thereby significantly decreasing data quality,” the document states. “Additionally, serious errors discovered in the data may not be fixed — due to lack of time to research and understand the root cause or to re-run and re-review one or multiple state files.” As the document attests, the Census Bureau will have less time than in previous years to run through the information: While the 2000 census took 185 days to process, this year staffers will only have 92 days to do so.
Considering the administration’s treatment of the once-in-a-decade undertaking, “serious errors” appeared to have been the aspiration all along. After the Supreme Court ruled that the Department of Commerce’s attempt to put a citizenship question on the document was too sloppy to go forward, there have been several efforts to block people from filling out the form or to skew its subsequent districting in Republicans’ favor for the coming decade.
Despite the elaborate schemes, so far the administration’s most successful attempt to undermine the census has been its simplest. “This is really an insidious ploy to have cities that have large immigrant communities, in particular, to lose congressional representation and to have that representation moved to red Republican areas,” New York City census director Julie Menin said last month when the new timeline was announced. And in some cities with significant immigrant populations, field operations are ending even earlier. Door-knocking, a process critical to the proper representation of undercounted groups, will end on September 18 in San Diego, despite the logical necessity of extending census groundwork during a pandemic. “It seems to me that this operation should take more time, not less, than in the previous censuses,” Terri Ann Lowenthal, a former staff director of the House Oversight Subcommittee for the Census, told NPR.


Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige is bringing an entirely new look to the world of Avengers: Age Of Ultron and the trailer for the upcoming film gives us an inside look at that.
The film is the latest project Marvel Studios is making in an attempt to take on the competition from Warner Bros. The studio released the trailer today, showing the titular Avengers team confronting Ultron in the latest trailer.
It is a new look for the Marvel Cinematic Universe and shows the team at a more modern and modernized time, with Iron Man, Thor, Hawkeye and Captain America taking up the mantle.
This will be a team of warriors with a new power, an Avengers suit that will allow them to fly, shoot and manipulate giant robots.
They will be able to control a massive, robot-like super soldier and can even transform into robots, but the biggest change is that they will no longer have the use of their powers.
The new suits have the ability to manipulate giant machinery, including giant robots and other things like giant machines, which will allow these teams to be far more effective.
There are a few new characters in the new suit, including Ultron himself, which was not revealed in the trailer.
This is the first time we have seen the suit in this new look.
We are also introduced to two new characters: Captain Marvel, played by Bradley Cooper, and Scarlet Witch, played in the first trailer by Elizabeth Olsen.
Both of these characters are seen as new additions to the Avengers team.
Scarlet Witch is a powerful sorceress and can control and control machines, like robots, and control people.
They are very powerful beings and it will be interesting to see how they will use their powers in the movie.


在格莱美的历史上还没有一个女人曾经获得超过5项的奖项，但是这掩饰不住凯莉的失意：输给U2两个奖，在年度录音上输给了Green Day，在最佳流行女歌手人声表演奖上又输给了Kelly Clarkson。至少Bono安慰了凯莉：“你唱歌就像个天使。”
John Legend赢得了三项奖，Kelly Clarkson赢得了二项，其中有一项是重要的最佳流行专辑。
LOS ANGELES - Mariah Carey ended her 16-year Grammy drought, but rock gods U2 smashed her comeback queen dreams by snatching five trophies Wednesday, including song and album of the year.
Carey, one of the best-selling artists of all time, hadn't won a Grammy since her first two as a fresh-faced ingenue in 1990. This year, she was nominated for a leading eight and won three in the pre-telecast ceremony. No woman had ever won more than five in one night.
But Carey was shut out through the entire televised portion, losing twice to U2, once to Green Day for record of the year and once to former American Idol Kelly Clarkson for best female pop vocal performance.
"If you think this is going to go to our head, it's too late," U2 frontman Bono said after the group won song of the year.
After winning the night's big award, album of the year, Bono told Carey, "You sing like an angel."
John Legend won three awards: best new artist, best R&B album for his debut, "Get Lifted," and best male R&B vocal for the piano ballad "Ordinary People." His mentor, Kanye West, also won three.
Clarkson won two, including best pop album.
"I'm sorry I'm crying again on national television," said Clarkson, tearful and shaking as she held her first Grammy. "Thank you so much, you have no idea what this means to me."
The highlight of the show was the appearance of Sly Stone, the mercurial, psychedelic pioneer who disappeared from the music scene decades ago and hadn't performed in public since 1993.
Toward the end of a sizzling all-star tribute, Stone emerged sporting a pale Mohawk against his 61-year-old brown scalp and made his way through one of his biggest smashes, "I Want To Take You Higher." Though the tribute was planned, many didn't expect Stone ¡ª who hasn't performed in public in years ¡ª to show up.
Keith Urban was answering questions backstage when Stone's performance began playing on a nearby monitor, and he had to stop talking.
"I think we just got upstaged," Urban said in amazement. "Everything pales in comparison."
Aside from winning the most awards, U2 provided one of the more rousing performances in the jam-packed show as they sung their hit Vertigo, then collaborated with R&B queen Mary J. Blige's gospel-inflected fervor for their classic "One."
West's three Grammys matched his total for last year. The brash rapper/producer played up (or lived up to) his egotistical reputation as he won best rap album for "Late Registration.
"I had no idea, I had no idea," West said in mock shock as he pulled a huge sheet of paper that read "Thank You List."
Alison Krauss & Union Station also had three awards, including for best country album, while Stevie Wonder, who released his first album in ten years last year, had two.
The show started off on a two-dimensional note as the cartoon-fronted rock group Gorillaz performed their record of the year contender, "Feel Good Inc." with the help of animation, a blue screen and guest rappers De La Soul. The performance then segued into a Madonna moment, as the pop queen ¡ª who was not nominated for any awards ¡ª shimmied through the Gorillaz' virtual space while singing her latest hit, "Hung Up."
A brief, impromptu performance by Keys and Wonder was the first to energize the crowd. Wonder pulled out his harmonica and the two soulfully sang his classic "Higher Ground" as a tribute to the late Coretta Scott King, who was buried Tuesday.
"Let's keep trying to reach that higher ground," Keys said. "I forever want to reach that higher ground."

FDF Scotland produces regular podcasts featuring insights and updates from Scotland's food and drink industry. These focus on behind the scenes of the food and drink business, skills, reformulation, environment and other topics of interest.
9 March 2022
The UK food industry has made incredible advances in salt reduction, but the population is still consuming an average of 2g per day over the recommended daily intake.
With new industry pressures such as sales restrictions on products deemed High in Fat, Sugar and Salt (HFSS) coming in to play this year, we expect to see a new wave of salt focussed reformulation.
With this in mind, do you have the information you need about salt’s role in food, and how to reduce it? If not, don’t worry! Tune in to our Sodium Solutions podcast and hear from:
- Joanne Burns – Reformulation for Health
- Sonia Pombo – CASSH

A spotlight on sugars
Sugar is a staple ingredient in many recipes, but consumers in the UK are now eating too much sugar with damaging impacts on their health.
Food and drink manufacturers are responding to this by reducing the levels of sugars in their recipes, helping meet the growing consumer demand for healthier options and improve dietary health.
Do you want to understand more about the types of sugar in your food? Maybe you are sceptical of how sugar could be replaced in food if it is such an important ingredient? It’s Sugar Awareness Week, and the topic of sugar in snacking is on everyone’s lips.
Join us as we discuss this topic with some of our Reformul8 Partners:
- Dr Kawther Hashem, CASSH
- Julie Mee, Zusto
- Rory Skinner, Treat Cheats
Reformulation for Health provides free support for Scottish SMEs to reformulate their produce for the benefit of the Scottish population. Contact email@example.com for more details.

The three authors are all part of LifeWay. Eric Geiger is the vice president of Church Resources, Michael Kelley is the director of Discipleship and Philip Nation is director of Ministry Development. All three men have written previous popular Christian books.
At the heart of this book is the transformational power of the gospel. As believers are discipled in the Word the power of transformation in Christ is at their disposal. This is not simply the ability to change bad habits of their lives, but the ability to alter their hearts. The authors unite biblical analyses and examination of teaching and training methods to show the readers the great blessings and faith altering power of discipleship.
During his earthly ministry, Jesus made some of his most memorable and impactful advances, not when he was speaking to large crowds, but when he was discipling a handful. The authors stress the deep influence one-on-one discipleship has in Christians. We grow and deepen our relationship with Christ when another believer loves Jesus enough to train us and shepherd our growth.
The authors tell us the end result of discipleship is not merely the knowledge of all Jesus commanded but the obedience to all Jesus commanded. Churches that are transformational in discipleship help people encounter Jesus as Lord and not merely as Rabbi. The supreme proof of a true conversion is holy affections, zeal for holy things, longings after God, longings after holiness, desires for purity. The book centers on using discipleship to leave behind shallow Christianity and instead go deeper with our saving faith in Christ.
This is a wonderful book for personal use or as a group study. The content and style of the book are easily digestible and helps to educate and spur greater interest in the topic. Discipleship is a biblically emphasized and underutilized method for spiritual growth and maturity. This book hits a home run on this important topic.
