Exploring San Francisco, Part 1
By jack.flynn on Aug 21, 2008
Begin at the Ballpark
For those of you looking to experience the best of San Francisco while you’re here this fall, Doug McConnell walks us through the San Francisco scenic waterfront. Doug is cofounder of OpenRoad.TV, and this post is the first in a series of three that explores the highlights and history of San Francisco’s beautiful coast line. Thanks Doug for leading our adventure.
Geographically, San Francisco is a small town, but it's so environmentally and culturally diverse, it can take a long time to explore … and it's worth every hour you can give to the effort.
If I have just one recommendation to give you, and that's tough, I urge you to follow the reborn waterfront of the city, all the way from the ballpark north past the Ferry Building and west through Fisherman's Wharf, the Presidio, and Lands End and the new Cliff House. This entire stretch of history and spectacular scenery has changed dramatically since the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989. It's one of the nation's greatest urban transformation stories in the past half century.
For those of you who remember San Francisco before the ground shook in October 19 years ago, much of the City's eastern bay front, north and south of the Bay Bridge, was grey, dark, and dingy. The huge and multi-level Embarcadero Freeway stood between the City and the water's edge. Following the quake, the freeway came down, the light streamed in, and the money and creativity began to flow. Entire neighborhoods emerged to the south, packed with restaurants and nightlife. North of the Bridge, the old Ferry Building, one of the City's most iconic landmarks, was restored and renewed as an epicenter of epicurean delights. Old trolleys from around the world arrived and began to ply the modern waterfront, swinging down Market Street and heading toward Fisherman's Wharf.

Hello and welcome to The Veggie Life, where we celebrate all things green and healthy! Here, you’ll find a variety of delicious vegetarian recipes that will not only nourish your body but also make your taste buds dance with joy. Whether you’re a seasoned vegetarian or just looking to incorporate more plant-based meals into your diet, we’ve got you covered.
Going vegetarian can be a great way to improve your health and reduce your environmental impact. However, it can be challenging to find meals that are both nutritious and satisfying. That’s where we come in. Our recipes are designed to be easy to make, delicious, and packed with all the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients you need to feel your best. So, put on your apron, get your chopping board ready, and let’s dive in!
Introduction to Healthy Vegetarian Recipes
As populations adjust to more health-conscious lifestyles, vegetarianism continues to increase in popularity. People are now becoming more aware of their dietary choices and the impact it has on their health, environment and the animals around them. One of the biggest misconceptions about vegetarianism is that it is difficult to get enough protein, but many plant-based foods are high in protein and other essential nutrients needed by the body. With the right kind of planning and information, vegetarian diets can be healthy and fulfilling.
Benefits of a Vegetarian Diet
Studies have shown that vegetarians are at a lower risk of developing chronic diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. A vegetarian diet can also help with weight management as it is low in saturated fat and high in dietary fiber and complex carbohydrates. It’s also a positive step towards environmental conservation. Meat production generates high levels of greenhouse gases, and the deforestation caused by animal production leads to the destruction of habitats for countless species. Choosing a plant-based diet directly helps conserve our planet’s natural resources.
The third benefit of a vegetarian diet is animal welfare. Factory farming practices often involve inhumane treatment of animals, which is not only cruel but also harmful to the quality of meats consumed. By choosing a vegetarian diet, you can be confident that your food choices are not contributing to animal abuse. It’s a positive feeling when you know you’re helping nature, the environment, and animals at the same time.
Popular Vegetarian Proteins
It is a common misconception that vegetarians struggle to get adequate protein on their diet. In reality, there are many high protein vegetarian options available. Lentils, beans, tofu, and tempeh are some of the most popular meat-free proteins, and they can be incorporated into a variety of meals. Including such proteins in your meals will help keep you feeling full and satisfied.
Lentils and beans are rich in protein and are incredibly versatile in vegetarian cooking. They can be added to soups, stews, salads, and even made into patties. Tofu and tempeh are made from soybeans and are a great alternative to meat. They can be marinated and stir-fried with vegetables or sliced and tossed into a salad. These proteins are not only healthy but also cost-effective.
Common Vegetarian Meal Components
A vegetarian diet consists of more than just salad and steamed veggies. Incorporating grains, vegetables, nuts, and seeds make meals more nourishing and flavorful. Whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, and oats offer a range of vitamins and minerals, including iron and zinc, which are important nutrients for vegetarians. Vegetables like broccoli, spinach, and carrots are high in fiber and antioxidants, which help maintain a healthy immune system. Nuts and seeds like almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, and pumpkin seeds provide healthy fats and additional protein.
Nutrition should be the primary focus when it comes to healthy vegetarian recipes. By incorporating a variety of plant-based ingredients into meals, the body gets the nutrients it needs while also getting to enjoy a range of flavors and textures. Preparing vegetarian meals doesn’t have to be complicated; many simple recipes incorporating the above-listed ingredients are available online and easy to make.
Energizing Breakfast Recipes
Starting off your day with a wholesome breakfast is crucial in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Eating nutritious meals can help give you the energy and focus you need to conquer the day. Below are a few energizing breakfast recipes that are both vegetarian and delicious.
For those who love scrambled eggs but want to avoid the cholesterol and fat that comes with it, try this protein-packed tofu scramble recipe. Tofu is a great alternative to eggs, and it absorbs any flavor you add to it, making it a versatile ingredient. Start by crumbling a block of firm tofu in a skillet and sauté it with diced onion, garlic, and your favorite veggies such as bell peppers, spinach, and mushrooms. Season with turmeric, cumin, and salt to taste. Serve it up with a slice of whole-grain bread, and you’re good to go.
Banana Oatmeal Pancakes
These banana oatmeal pancakes are perfect for those mornings when you’re craving something indulgent but don’t want to undo all of your hard work at the gym. Mash a ripe banana in a bowl and mix it with rolled oats, almond milk, baking powder, and a pinch of cinnamon. Pour the batter onto a non-stick griddle and cook until golden brown. Top it off with some fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup, and you’ve got yourself a delicious and healthy breakfast.
Mushroom and Spinach Quiche
If you have a bit more time on your hands, try this mouthwatering mushroom and spinach quiche recipe for a lazy Sunday morning. Start by preheating the oven and baking a pre-made pie crust for about 10 minutes until it’s lightly golden brown. In a skillet, cook some chopped onion and mushrooms until tender. Add in some fresh spinach and let it wilt. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and milk, and then add in the cooked veggies, grated cheese, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture into the pie crust and bake it in the oven for about 30 minutes. Slice it up, and enjoy a hearty and nutritious breakfast.
These vegetarian breakfast recipes are proof that you can still enjoy delicious and satisfying meals without sacrificing your health goals. Incorporate them into your morning routine, and you’ll start your day off on the right foot.
Hearty Lunch Ideas
Looking for delicious and satisfying vegetarian lunch ideas? These three hearty lunch recipes will keep you full and energized throughout the day!
Chickpea Salad Sandwich
If you’re craving a good old-fashioned sandwich, try this vegan twist on the classic tuna salad sandwich! Chickpea salad is just as filling and delicious, and it’s packed with protein and healthy fats that will keep you full for hours.
To make chickpea salad, simply mash up cooked chickpeas with avocado (for creaminess), diced red onion (for a bit of crunch), and some chopped veggies, like celery, bell pepper, and cucumber. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Then pile it all onto your favorite bread or wrap with your favorite sandwich fixings, like lettuce, tomato, and mustard. Yum!
If you’re in the mood for something warm and hearty, chili is always a good choice. This vegetarian version uses a variety of beans (like black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans) instead of meat, so it’s still packed with protein and fiber. Plus, the tomatoes, onions, and spices add tons of flavor and nutrition.
To make vegetarian chili, sauté diced onions, garlic, and diced bell pepper in a bit of olive oil until tender. Then add canned crushed tomatoes, cooked beans (drained and rinsed), veggie broth (or water), chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt. Simmer for at least 30 minutes, until everything is heated through and the flavors have melded together. Serve with your favorite toppings, like cheese, avocado, and tortilla chips.
Grilled Vegetable Panini
A hot and toasty panini filled with grilled veggies and melty cheese is always a good idea. This sandwich is perfect for using up any leftover veggies you have in your fridge, like zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, and onions. You can also use any kind of cheese you like, such as mozzarella, cheddar, or goat cheese.
To make a grilled veggie panini, start by slicing your veggies into thin strips and grilling them on a grill pan or an outdoor grill. Then, assemble your sandwich by layering the grilled veggies with your favorite cheese between two slices of bread. Brush the outside of the bread with a bit of olive oil, and then grill the sandwich in a panini press or on a grill pan until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted. Enjoy!
These three vegetarian lunch recipes are not only delicious and satisfying, but they’re also nutritious and easy to make. Try them out the next time you want a healthy and hearty lunch!
Nutritious Dinner Options
Looking for some healthy and tasty vegetarian dinner ideas? Look no further! These three delicious dishes are sure to satisfy your cravings without sacrificing nutrition. Enjoy a creamy butternut squash curry, a healthy twist on classic eggplant parmesan, or a protein-packed lentil shepherd’s pie for a hearty and satisfying meal.
Butternut Squash Curry
If you’re a fan of creamy, warming curries, this vegetarian version is the perfect dish for you. With plenty of vegetables and fragrant spices, this delicious curry will keep you feeling full and satisfied.
To make this flavorful curry, start by sautéing diced onions and garlic in a large pot until they become fragrant and tender. Add diced butternut squash, red bell peppers, and a can of chickpeas, then season with turmeric, cumin, coriander, and garam masala. Stir in coconut milk and vegetable broth, then let the mixture simmer until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Serve over a bed of fluffy white rice and garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for a burst of brightness.
Satisfy your craving for classic Italian comfort food with this healthy twist on eggplant parmesan. This version uses pan-fried eggplant slices instead of breaded and fried cutlets for a lighter, healthier version of the beloved dish.
To make this dish, start by slicing a large eggplant into rounds, then dusting with flour and pan-frying in a bit of olive oil until they’re tender and golden brown. Layer the cooked eggplant slices in a baking dish with marinara sauce, fresh basil leaves, and shredded mozzarella cheese, then bake until bubbly and hot.
For a healthier version, you can use low-fat or part-skim mozzarella cheese, and swap out the traditional breadcrumbs and frying method for a lighter, flour-coated pan-fry version.
Lentil Shepherd’s Pie
This hearty and protein-packed lentil and vegetable stew topped with fluffy mashed potatoes is a perfect comfort food for the cold days. It’s a vegan option that packs in all the nutrients to keep you healthy.
To make this dish, start by sautéing diced onions, garlic, and carrots until they become fragrant and soft. Add in uncooked lentils, some vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, dried thyme, rosemary, and other seasonings of choice, then let the mixture simmer until the lentils are tender and the flavors have melded together. Then, spread the prepared lentil mixture in the bottom of a baking sheet, then top with mashed potatoes and bake in the oven until the potatoes are golden brown on top and the filling is hot and bubbly.
This dish is packed full of nutrients and fiber, guaranteed to leave you feeling both satisfied and replenished.
With these recipes, you can have a filling, satisfying, and delicious dinner that suits your vegetarian diet requirements. Give them a try tonight and let your taste buds do the talking!
Satisfying Snacks and Desserts
Being a vegetarian does not mean you have to sacrifice taste and flavor. In fact, vegetarian snacks and desserts can be healthy, filling, and oh-so-delicious. Here are some of our favorite recipes for plant-based snacks and desserts:
If you are craving a crunchy and satisfying snack, you cannot go wrong with roasted chickpeas. These little legumes are packed with protein, fiber, and nutrients, making them a healthy alternative to chips or other processed snacks. To make roasted chickpeas, start by rinsing and draining a can of chickpeas. Then, pat them dry with a paper towel and toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you like, such as cumin, paprika, or garlic powder. Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast them in a preheated oven at 400°F for 20-30 minutes, until they are crisp and golden. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature as a snack or salad topping.
Chocolate Avocado Mousse
If you have a sweet tooth but are trying to avoid processed sugar and unhealthy fats, this chocolate avocado mousse is the perfect treat for you. Avocado is a great source of healthy fats and fiber, and it also gives this dessert a creamy and luscious texture. To make chocolate avocado mousse, start by blending two ripe avocados, half a cup of cocoa powder, half a cup of maple syrup, one teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a food processor or blender until smooth and creamy. Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less maple syrup. Chill the mousse in the fridge for at least an hour before serving, and garnish it with some chopped nuts or fresh berries if you like.
Apple and Peanut Butter Crackers
For a quick and easy snack that combines the sweetness of fruit with the nuttiness of peanut butter, try these apple and peanut butter crackers. This snack is high in fiber, protein, and healthy fats, which makes it perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up or a pre-workout snack. To make apple and peanut butter crackers, simply slice an apple into thin rounds and spread some peanut butter on top of each slice. Sprinkle some cinnamon or chopped nuts on top for extra flavor and crunch. If you want to make it more filling, you can also add some whole-grain crackers or rice cakes to the mix.

London Stansted to Nice Côte d'Azur International Airport
The city of Nice on the French Riviera has long been one of Europe’s most popular holiday destinations. The budget airline easyJet operates two flights daily between London Stansted and Nice, although there is a reduced service during the winter months. Visit their website at www.easyjet.com for more information or telephone (01235) 764377
Nice Airport is located only 6km (less than 4 miles) from Nice city centre and is adjacent to the coast. The airport has two terminals linked by a free shuttle service. All easyJet flights operate from terminal 2. Because of the airport’s proximity to the city centre taxi fares are very reasonable, with the rate set by the city council. Alternatively there is a bus service from
terminal 1 (Sunbus route 23) to the main train station (Gare Nice Ville) stopping at various points in the city centre en-route.
Nice is an excellent base from which to explore the Côte d'Azur, and there is a regular train service from Gare Nice Ville to the resorts of St Raphael, Monaco, Cannes and Antibes.
Tourist attractions in Nice include:
- Musee Matisse. The great French impressionist artist Henri Matisse spent his winters in the up-market residential area of Cimiez. This museum, housed in a 17th century villa, features sculptures, paintings and drawings from throughout Matisse’s lifetime.
- The Promenade. When people think of Nice it would probably be the Promenade des Anglais that immediately springs to mind. Perfect for a leisurely walk along by the luxurious seafront hotels and shingly beach as joggers and rollerbladers speed past you.
- Old Town (Vieux Nice). Just a short walk inland from the beach is the old town with its picturesque narrow streets, art galleries and numerous old churches. This is a great area for food-lovers; there are ice-cream parlours selling every flavour imaginable and restaurants offering local cuisine and dishes from around the world. At nighttime there is a great atmosphere in the Old Town’s numerous bars with many playing live music. A climb up the hill of Colline du Château is worthwhile; from here there are marvellous views of the Old Town and port.
- The Port. Many antique dealers are located here alongside restaurants serving local specialities. You can also enjoy the view of millionaire’s yachts moored next to the locals’ small fishing boats.
Looking for hotel accommodation near Nice Airport.
There are a number of hotels in the modern district of Arenas, close to the airport. Many of the hotels include a free shuttle service to and from Nice Airport.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Four presidents of the United States have been assassinated—in 1865, 1881, 1901, and 1963—each murder seemingly unrelated. But what if those presidents were all killed for the shocking same reason: a clause contained in the United States Constitution? This is the question faced by former Justice Department operative Cotton Malone. When President Danny Daniels is nearly killed in the heart of Manhattan, Malone risks his life to foil the murder—only to find himself at odds with the Commonwealth, a secret society of pirates first assembled during the American Revolution. Racing across the nation and taking to the high seas, Malone and Cassiopeia Vitt must break a secret cipher originally possessed by Thomas Jefferson, unravel a mystery concocted by Andrew Jackson, and unearth a document forged by the Founding Fathers themselves—one powerful enough to make the Commonwealth unstoppable.

For the Love of Sci-Fi
In case you missed it, I posted TWO reviews this week, each in the Science Fiction genre. First was Kings of Earth (2015) by Joe Ponder, a newly published author living in Texas. His book deserves some praise!
The second is Parable of the Sower (1993) by Octavia Butler. Butler is well-known as not only a great writer but an icon in the genre. I recently read a piece called Remembering Octavia Butler, which in turn made me wanted to honor her too. I haven't had a book touch me in the way Parable did and I am grateful and humbled by that. Lastly, I also found out that talks started last year to turn Butler's book, Dawn, into a tv series. This article from IndieWire gives you some more background.

You might expect a film with the words "fast and
runner" in the title to clip along fairly swiftly. I
did. Well, let's just say you can benefit from my
error. This is a slow paced film - tribal life slow.
And there's very little running, though one long dash
is rather pivotal to the story.
The most striking mark of the film is its
authentic feel. I say "feel" because I have never
lived in an Inuit tribe, still it's my "feel" that
this film is incredibly authentic. From skinning
flesh off animal hides, to keeping the seal oil
burning, to carving snow igloo blocks, to fur coats,
to the clicking native tongue. In fact, I'd had
assumed they'd just recruited these tribal people for
the film and through miraculous direction or some
kind of "video" innocence captured the purity of
their natural reactions.
The film's ending credits, however, reveal the
reality of the performance: video cameras,
sound-personnel and actors and actress, all Inuit,
but not necessarily tent/igloo dwellers. High praise
must be given to the direction and acting that made
it all feel not just real, but truly authentic.
That said, this 4000-year-old folk tale of love,
community, betrayal, and murder takes nearly half the
film to compel and by then you might be just a tad
antsy. And clocking in at 2.75 hours, with many an
indulgently lengthy cut, you may be sighing for a
At times endearing, humorous, spooky, educational,
but at other times as bland as a block of snow. Make
sure you pack the right mood to this one.
Shot in digital video, interior night scenes lit
by burning seal oil create a haunting mood in orange
sepia. Exteriors don't reproduce so well, but the
actors provide a great contrast to all that blaring
white snow with their rich color, costume and

Why not get it? by Charles (Mar 13, 2010)
Yes, you can buy these components yourself but there's the hassle of getting around for these simple items. If you live in/near a city you can probably do it no time at all. Living rurally I have to buy a pack of acid brushes at Harbor Freight (1 hr away), needle oil bottle (40 min away) and light machine oil (easily available). I have been using my kit since day one and the only thing I can add is paste wax to the body of the bit and the shaft. So, why not go ahead and get it?

Not everyone will be happy.
November 2 the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services exposed the final rule implementing the changes. The rule is 1,250 pages long. You may wish to read it here. Thoughtfully included are the names and phone numbers of staff that can be contacted for more information , listed by topic areas.
For the short story, read the Six Things to Know from Becker’s Hospital CFO Report. You will find:
1. Physician payment rates will increase 0.41 percent in 2018 compared to this year.
2. CMS will reduce current physician fee schedule payment rates for services provided at certain off-campus provider-based departments.
3. Hospital groups are concerned. Becker’s quotes America’s Essential Hospitals President and CEO Bruce Siegel, MD:
We’re particularly troubled that these cuts for off-campus, provider-based departments — an additional 20 percent reduction to rates already cut in half by regulation last year — come without an analysis of how they might harm patient care. The cuts run counter to CMS’ goal of integrated, coordinated healthcare.
4. CMS will pay for five new telehealth services.
5. CMS is delaying implementation of the Medicare Appropriate Use Criteria Program for advanced diagnostic imaging until Jan. 1, 2020.
6. The final rule establishes payment to rural health clinics and federally qualified health clinics for regular and complex chronic care management services, general behavioral health integration services and psychiatric collaborative care models.
Read the reactions to the final rule by five major provider groups, American College of Physicians (ACP), Federation of American Hospitals (FAH), College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME), American College of Radiology (ACR), and Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA).

Michael Jackson – Thriller (25th Anniversary Edition With Remixes) – 2LP –
This album broke so many Guinness Book Of World Records it would be boring to list them all . The records we need to observe though are that it was biggest selling album of all time, 110 million unconfirmed sales. Thriller also had the most singles taken off one album, every track from Thriller was released as a single.
In 2008, Epic Records decided to released Thriller 25, basically the 25th anniversary of the album with bonus tracks featuring the the original voice over from Vincent Price, five remixes featuring American artists Fergie, will.i.am, Kanye West, and Akon.

Lemme catch my breath a little here… so Taurus is rolling out a .380 revolver, the Taurus Mini Revolver… before you (or I) say anything, I’ve like to point out that the little I-framed… to use S&W frame terminology on the pre-J-frame technology… 9mm Taurus revolver was one fiercely accurate little blaster. Guys I respect told me about wicked small groups with the 9mm Taurus…so hey, who knows?
I actually handled a proto of the Taurus View, as per the Truth About Guns snark, months ago. Forget the Lexan side panels. I’d have fully transparent plastic semitautos…okay, maybe a fetching bright green…if I could. The interesting thing about the Taurus View is the minimalist grip frame, 1-inch barrel, and 9-ounce weight. Nine ounces!!! That’s an ounce less than an S&W .22 317 Airweight…down in mini .380 territory. I wasn’t able to shoot the little gun, but I was surprised that it sat pretty comfortably in my hand. Heavy bullet +P might be…challenging.


Welcome to the latest issue of Kingspan news!
We like to bring you news about recent projects where our products have been used but often we visit older projects to see how our products have stood the test of time.
Over two decades ago, The Kingspan KoolDuct System was installed at Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru (the National Library of Wales) and on inspection was found to still be delivering excellent thermal comfort, humidity control and ventilation performance.
Since it was first opened in 1911, the library has been regularly extended to provide more space for its collections. One of the most significant expansions was completed in 1996 with the opening of the Third Library Building, offering office and server space, along with storage facilities for many of the library’s most valuable materials.
The Kingspan KoolDuct System was fitted during the building’s construction in 1995. The HVAC specification took full advantage of the system’s slimline design, concealing it beneath corridor floors. In addition, The Kingspan KoolDuct System was also used within the main ground floor plant room and as part of four risers, traveling from the lower ground floor to the fourth floor. No issues and no relevant maintenance have ever been recorded with the ductwork and a recent inspection showed that the system was in good condition and performing as expected.

Bacterial Pathogenesis pp 15-24
Proteomic Analysis of Proteins Secreted by Streptococcus pyogenes
Streptococcus pyogenes secretes various proteins to the extracellular environment. During infection, these proteins interact with human macromolecules and contribute to pathogenesis. We describe a proteomic approach routinely used in our laboratory to characterize culture supernatant proteins using small-format two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Proteins are collected after overnight growth of the bacteria in broth media. Compounds that inhibit isoelectric focusing, such as salts, are removed by enzymatic treatment and precipitation with trichloroacetic acid and acetone. Following resuspension in denaturing solution, the proteins are separated by isoelectric focusing using a 7-cm immobilized strip with a pH gradient of 4–7. Subsequently, proteins are further separated with sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE) and stained with SYPRO Ruby. The small-gel format requires less time, reagents, and smaller culture volumes compared with large-format approaches, while still resolving and detecting a large proportion of the exoprotein fraction.

Joe Biden Says Bush Was The Problem Not Iran
Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday showed the country that election season is in full swing making some pretty incendiary comments about the Bush Administration and Iran. Biden said that during Bush’s presidency the world saw America as the problem and not Iran but since the Obama Administration has made a good faith effort to negotiate with Iran the world can see that Iran is the problem.
Biden said at the Rabbinical Assembly’s annual convention in Atlanta,
“By going the extra diplomatic mile, presenting Iran with a clear choice, we demonstrated to the region and the world that Iran is the problem, not the United States. When we took office, let me remind you, there was virtually no international pressure on Iran. We were the problem, we were diplomatically isolated in the world, in the region, in Europe. We were neither fully respected by our friends nor feared by our opponents. Today it is starkly, starkly different.”
As could be expected conservatives are blowing a gasket over Biden’s remarks.
Biden said Obama’s efforts to engage the Mullahs have also been responsible for the world getting tough on the Islamic Republic.
“That’s why China, that’s why Russia, that’s why Europe, that’s why the rest of the world have joined us in these sanctions, and the president deserves the credit,”
GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s campaign said that Biden was being reckless and that he should stop trying to blame America and Americans for all the world’s problems.
Romney’s policy director Lanhee Lee,
“Biden’s reckless statement today blaming America for – of all things – the progress of Iran’s nuclear weapons program, has reached a new low. The problem is not America. It is the ayatollahs who oppress their people.”
Matt Brooks, executive director of the Republican Jewish Coalition, commented that Biden’s comments were “ridiculous”, saying,
“Iran was the problem then and it is the problem now. It’s foolishly misguided for the vice president to blame anyone or any country other than Iran.”

German Granatenwefer 36
Available now in 1:16 and 1:18 Scale
The Granatenwerfer 36 was designed to be an extremely lightweight and portable mortar for German infantry. First built in 1936, the leGrW 36 mortar up to 90 degrees of elevation was highly useful in lobbing explosive rounds high into the air and being able to drop them with precision either into trenches, behind obstacles or to saturate a previously scouted area or choke point that had been "dialed in".
The Battlegound Toys 1:18 German Granatenwerfer 36 replicates not only the minute detail of the original mortar but also includes a case of ammunition and two individual 5 cm mortar rounds.


We're getting to that point in the season when each win or loss directly feeds into bubble talk. Just like Christmas decorations in your local mall, it happens earlier every year, whether you like or not.
The latest in this category is Louisville, whose 66-60 win at Syracuse yesterday launches them squarely back into tournament consideration. Louisville was all but done before Sunday's Valentine's Day win -- a couple of controversial losses to West Virginia and Seton Hall in January, plus a 19-point loss to Big East cellar-dweller St. John's last week, seemed to have sealed Louisville's fate. It didn't help that the Cardinals occasionally limped through their nonconference slate, losing to Charlotte, at UNLV, and -- the coup de grace -- to Western Carolina at Freedom Hall on Dec. 12.
Now, though, things are looking brighter. The Charlotte and UNLV losses don't look so bad, now that both of those teams are themselves hunting tournament bids. And the win over a dominant Syracuse in front of 30,000-plus Cuse fans is the sort of thing a tournament committee will fawn over.
Nothing's decided yet, though. The Cardinals are 16-9 overall and 7-5 in the Big East, and the rest of their slate (Notre Dame, at DePaul, Georgetown, at Connecticut, at Marquette, and a return date with Syracuse at home to close the Big East season) is both winnable and rife with opportunities to impress the committee. If Louisville wins four or five of those games, Rick Pitino's team may not need a strong showing in the Big East tournament to warrant bracket consideration.
In some ways, Louisville has been a slightly underrated team all season; they have one of the best offenses in the country and have, uncharacteristic for a Pitino team, been unable to defend. If Louisville suddenly figures it out -- suddenly becomes even an average defensive team, suddenly starts turning its opponents over at an even higher rate -- there's no reason why the Cardinals can't make a run at this thing. The talent is there. The won-loss column just needs to show it.


We’re taking a look back at one of The Beatles breakthrough songs, the brilliant ‘Help!’ and we’re doing it by focusing on the band’s perfect isolated vocal tracks. It’s in these vocals that the secret to The Beatles’ earliest success can be found. It’s not only one the fans’ most favoured songs but one of John Lennon’s most treasured songs from the Fab Four.
The title track from 1965’s Help!, the band’s fifth studio album, is marked out as one of the defining records to set The Beatles on their way to the very highest echelons of music. Before tracks like ‘Help!’ the group had been wrongly labelled as a boyband. However after this release, they were so much more than that and what’s more, they could still sing it better than anyone out there.
Of course, The Beatles had been chugging around since 1960 in various different guises, even earlier if you’re counting the Quarrymen, which many of us are. As their careers began to take off in 1963, however, the group were packaged up as a ready-made boyband, perfect for teenage record sales, something now more keenly sought after than ever before. Soon enough, the real mark of the Fab Four came to the forefront and the group transcended from singers in a pop group to musicians and pop icons.
It was on this track that John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr began to find their feet. No longer were the band aiming at the charts or trying to become famous (they’d achieved both rather handsomely already), instead, they were trying to express themselves as artists and using their songs as their primary vehicle for doing so.
As any starving artist will tell you, however, it isn’t all sweetness and light pursuing art for art’s sake. It meant that whatever the group were putting together would still have to sell, having not yet reached the level of fame that would allow them to experiment with reckless abandon. It would lead to a period where Lennon and McCartney were writing kicking pop songs that were drenched in hidden meanings — ‘Help!’ is one of those songs.
Described by John Lennon as one of his favourite songs from The Beatles entire canon during an interview in 1970, the singer explains why rather succinctly, “Because I meant it, it’s real. The lyric is as good now as it was then, it’s no different, you know. It makes me feel secure to know that I was that sensible or whatever- well, not sensible, but aware of myself. That’s with no acid, no nothing… well, pot or whatever.” Lennon clarifies his point, “It was just me singing ‘help’ and I meant it, you know. I don’t like the recording that much, the song I like. We did it too fast to try and be commercial.”
Later Lennon said of the song in an interview with Playboy, “The whole Beatles thing was just beyond comprehension. I was subconsciously crying out for help”. And this is where the beauty of the song lay, in the harmonisation of commercial nous and poetic integrity all perfectly packaged in the nuanced voices of John and his mates Paul and George. Though Lennon may not have been shooting for the top of the charts by this time, he was still certainly guided by them.
The need to sell well meant that the group were encouraged to revisit the harmonies that had put them on the map. What better way to listen to them than with these isolated vocal tracks. Not only is there the quite sumptuous harmonies between George Harrison and Paul McCartney, but perhaps more pertinently, the juxtaposition between their voices and Lennon’s.
Lennon is strong and clear in his vulnerability. He allows the words of the song to flow through him and lets the rest of the band carry it into the chart-topping territory. While many people will cite Bob Dylan as a huge influence on Lennon finding his groove with songwriting, listening to ‘Help!’ you simply cannot deny his own special brand of personalised pop is worth its weight in gold.
Of course, it did turn gold and it did reach the top of the charts and stayed there for three weeks but all the while most of the public was blissfully unaware that the number one pop song in the country was a track about lonely and damaging it was being there in the first place.

If the photo above has you salivating for a slice of freshly baked bread, there may be more going on than you realize. You're probably craving the taste of nutty whole grains and perhaps some salty butter slathered over a warm slice, and you may also be craving the comforting sensation that comes from the carbs. But, scientists now believe that you're able to taste those carbs, or more accurately taste the starch in those carbs, adding another reason why foods like bread, pasta and potatoes are so appealing.
Scientists from the University of Oregon have identified a sixth taste, one that can recognize the taste of starch all on its own, reports IFL Science. This sixth taste joins the ones we already know about: salty, sweet, sour, bitter and the more recently recognized umami (savory). Until now, it's been believed that humans could only detect starch because of its relationship to sweet since starch breaks down into sugars. But scientists used special preparations to test whether volunteers were able to detect glucose oligomers (starch) independent of sweet.
They blocked the sweet taste receptor with lactisole in preparations that contained starch, and the test subjects were unable to "detect sweet substances (glucose, maltose and sucralose), but they could still detect the glucose oligomers." Researchers believe this suggests that the ability to detect glucose oligomers is independent of the ability to detect sweet.
When eating a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs, humans not only taste salty, sweet and savory, but they can also taste starchy, say researchers. (Photo: Annie/Flickr)
From an evolutionary standpoint, the authors of the study — which was published in the Oxford Journals — say this makes some sense. Starchy foods are energy-dense and starch is vital for our survival. The ability to taste them would be "a highly beneficial adaption" since the nutrition from carbohydrates keeps humans alive.
In fact, scientists say the main reason we have the ability to taste is to determine which things provide us with energy and which things are toxic.
Interestingly, when people of Asian ancestry described what they were tasting in the study, they identified a "rice-like" taste. When Caucasians described what they were tasting, they identified a "pasta-like" taste.
It seems scientists have just legitimized our love of carbs. Thank you, science!

Electric Car Sharing Service In Paris Gains Popularity
Some of the 50,000 people attending the Paris climate conference arrive at their meetings by an environmentally-friendly car sharing service called Autolib that started up in city four years ago.
Autolib members rent electric cars for about 20 cents per minute. And, unlike most car sharing programs in the U.S., members don’t have to return a car to the place where they picked it up. They can leave it at one of 4,000 reserved parking spots spread out all over Paris.
Industry analysts say the service and others like it might soon be available in the U.S. and elsewhere around the world. From Paris, Dan Grossman brought us this report.

WASHINGTON • Ms Nikki Haley has resigned as the United States ambassador to the United Nations, in the latest departure from President Donald Trump's national security team.
Meeting Ms Haley in the Oval Office yesterday, Mr Trump said Ms Haley has done a "fantastic job" and would leave at the end of the year.
Mr Trump told reporters: "She told me probably six months ago, 'I want to take a little time off.'"
Ms Haley stayed coy on her reasons for quitting, saying only that it was "important to understand when it's time to stand aside".
But she insisted that she was not planning to run for president herself against Mr Trump in 2020, when she would likely be seen as a moderate Republican alternative.
Ms Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, took the job with little experience in foreign policy but quickly became the full-throated voice at the UN for the often unpopular agenda of Mr Trump.
Ms Haley stayed coy on her reasons for quitting, saying only that it was "important to understand when it's time to stand aside". But she insisted that she was not planning to run for president herself against Mr Trump in 2020, when she would likely be seen as a moderate Republican alternative.
Earlier this year, Ms Haley, 46, said "every day, I feel like I put body armour on" to protect US interests at the UN.
Ms Haley has pressed for a hawkish line on Iran, justified US cuts to foreign assistance, and earlier this year, led the US in bolting from the UN Human Rights Council, accusing it of bias against Washington and Israel.
At the recent UN General Assembly session, Ms Haley, in a highly unusual step for a senior diplomat, joined street protesters demonstrating against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro outside the UN building in New York, and shouted from a megaphone that the leftist leader should leave office.
The daughter of Indian immigrants, Ms Haley has long been seen as a rising star in the Republican Party, which has eagerly sought female and ethnic minorities to broaden the appeal beyond its traditional white demographic.
Ms Haley, whose was born Nimrata Randhawa, in 2010 was elected governor of the deeply Republican state of South Carolina.
During the 2016 presidential campaign, she criticised Mr Trump for his remarks on immigrants. She and Mr Trump were politically reconciled later.
In December last year, she said women who had accused Mr Trump of sexual misconduct "should be heard". Mr Peter Yeo, an official with the UN Foundation, said: "She was critical in ushering in UN reforms in partnership with the Secretary-General, and she took a thoughtful approach to peacekeeping and national security issues.
"There certainly were great areas of contention between the United States and the UN. But she played a very important and constructive role."
Ms Haley is the latest person to resign in a turbulent White House, where Mr Trump is already on his third national security adviser and second secretary of state before even the mid-term elections.

In fact, the reality beauty knows exactly how to push her daring ensembles to their very limit.
And her latest outing was no different, as the brunette bombshell turned up to the opening night of Tropicana Beach Club in London in a show-stopping number.
Posing up a storm for the paps in a revealing slashed gown, Pascal showed off her bronzed toned pins in a sexy black crock.
But that's not all… as she also decided less is more.
Ditching her bra for the event, Pascal showcased her eye-popping cleavage for the paps, courting the opportunity of a major wardrobe malfunction.
Thankfully, the brunette beauty's enormous assets didn't actually escape, this time – but it looked to be a close call.
The smokin' hot reality vixen was spotted posing yet again inside the club, where she could be seen holding a pineapple to conceal her modesty.
We're not sure that looks too comfortable, hun.
It comes as the brunette bombshell was pictured flasing her pumpkins just last week.
Opting for an all black ensemble, the star posed up an almighty storm, proudly showing off her pumpkin with a suggestive smirk on her face.
Even then the star's boobs looked ready to make a break for it, as she squeezed them together tightly.
Well, why break the habit of a lifetime?


Randolph-Clay’s girls basketball team survived three tough challenges during the season from Region 1-A rival Mitchell County, but the Red Devils made sure the teams’ fourth meeting wasn’t going to be so close.
Randolph-Clay outscored Mitchell County 14-2 in the first five minutes and cruised to a 53-32 victory in the Class A public-school championship game Thursday at the Macon Coliseum. The state title is the third for Randolph-Clay, which also won in 1996 and 2000, and avenged a 61-56 loss to Gordon Lee in last year’s final.
Fifth-ranked Randolph-Clay (27-4) beat Mitchell County 53-50 and 60-55 during the regular season and escaped with a 77-74 victory in the region championship game on Feb. 15.
“Each of those three games, we’ve always had a lead, a 10- or 11-point lead, but we always managed to relinquish the lead,” Randolph-Clay coach Jennifer Acree said. “I told them we had to seal the deal, finish the deal, and we were able to finish it in the fourth quarter.”
The lead was 11 points again heading to the fourth quarter of the final, but this time Randolph-Clay was able to build on it, outscoring the Eagles 10-3 in the next three minutes to make it 44-26 and put the game away.
The Red Devils were led in scoring by senior guards Brandie Buie and Shanice Jackson, but it was the inside domination by sisters Brianna and Kobi Thornton that made it all possible. Randolph-Clay outrebounded Mitchell County 47-35, had a 30-12 advantage in points in the paint and held the Eagles to 18.2-percent shooting from the field (10-for-55).
Kobi Thornton, a sophomore, scored nine points and had 11 rebounds and six blocked shots. Brianna, a junior, had five points, six rebounds and two blocks.
“That’s our foundation,” Acree said. “People have had a hard time defending those two girls inside.”
Buie led Randolph-Clay with 19 points and had 10 rebounds, while Jackson was 7-for-8 from the field and finished with 15 points.
Eighth-ranked Mitchell County (25-7) managed to stay in the game as long as it did because of A’Miracle Jones, although the Eagles never got closer than nine points after Randolph-Clay’s game-opening run. Jones had 12 of Mitchell County’s first 23 points but was held scoreless as the Red Devils pulled away.
Randolph-Clay (53): Brandie Buie 19, Kadera Parham, Shanice Jackson 15, Brianna Thornton 5, Kobi Thornton 9, Alicia Mathis 2, Adrianna Allen, Shaaliyah Lewis 3, Amanda Hall, Alexis Cuff, Jaylon Slaughter.
Mitchell County (32): Williams Jmaica 5, Teryetta Chester 4, Deaundra Hill 3, A’Miracle Jones 12, Shonbreka Holton 2, Bristol Hicks, Myesha Williams 2, Jo’cilin Moore, Tymara Pace, Myia Barnes, Antonia Jones 3, Derykah Yates, Ravenon Robinson 1, Aaliyah Childs.

TURTLE: THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY
MOONLIGHT MOVIES will kick off it’s post-fest season with TURTLE: THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY. The film tells the story of A little loggerhead turtle follows in the path of her ancestors on one of the most extraordinary journeys in the natural world. Born on a beach in Florida, she rides the Gulf Stream all the way to the frozen north and ultimately swims around the entire North Atlantic to Africa and back to the beach where she was born.
The film will be preceded by a discussion with a Mote Marine Laboratory scientist, and a short documentary about loggerhead turtles produced by Mote Marine Laboratory and WEDU.


Lie. Read Kevin Drum's blog post. He has Bush's ARF document on his blog. And you were always subject to call up, as many Air National Guardsmen are finding out today. If the 111th F.I.S. and Lt. Bush did not go to Vietnam, blame Hutchins' heroes Lyndon Johnson and Robert McNamara, not lowly Lt. Bush. Bush was never faced with the possibility of being called up. The National Guard does not operate like now. Johnson and McNamara were not in the White House when Bush was in the National Guard. The speechwriters who wrote this letter don't want to mention Nixon and put illogical blame on two Democrats no longer holding office. And you were always subject to call up, as many Air National Guardsmen are finding out today. If the 111th F.I.S. and Lt. Bush did not go to Vietnam, blame Hutchins' heroes Lyndon Johnson and Robert McNamara, not lowly Lt. Bush. Again with Johnson and McNamara. Oliver Willis and Counterspin also point out that it's bogus. I say this was wrtten by Karl Rove and Karen Hughes. They had a Bush family friend put his John Hancock on it.
I Told You So: Bush Washington Times Letter Bogus The Washington Times letter was brought up in a previous post. This is a form letter. It was also sent to "The Observer." There are serious errors in this letter. Second, there was no such thing as a "disciplinary unit" to which Bush would have been ordered. They just don't exist. Any discipline, if required, is handled within the squadron or group, administratively or judicially. There would be a record and a reflection in Lt. Bush's performance review, and none such exist, as was confirmed in a (unfriendly) Washington Post article in 2000.

ORCUTT, Calif. - Doug Dougherty of Orcutt just returned from Washington DC where he participated in the rally that led up to the attack on the US Capitol Wednesday.
"So we were singing and praying then that's when the teargas and flashbangs and everything just came down on us and the rubber balls and stuff. It was total chaos from there," Dougherty said.
He says the purpose of his trip was to join a peaceful Save America Rally.
"My reaction was devastation, you know, having traveled all that way on our own personal expense, during the time when money is not that easy to come by. And so you know what it took to go there and to see that happen, it was very devastating."
The Orcutt man said he wanted to go to DC to pray for the country as electoral votes were finalized. But instead, the rally turned into a riot where people broke into the capitol building.
"I felt called to go to DC, just with everything that's been happening, it's been weighing on my heart and my brother and I decided that we needed to go and pray for our country," said Dougherty.
While he found himself surrounded by the chaos, Doug said he tried to stop people from causing more violence and did not enter the capitol himself.
"And there were so many of us, so many of us trying desperately to keep it from getting out of hand, but the chaos ensued and it was just heartbreaking."
Now that Dougherty is safe at home, he hopes the country will find a way to come together.
"If America's going to make it, we have to be able to overcome this together in Orcutt."

- Patients aren’t always seen in the order they arrive. Patients with the most serious or rapidly-changing conditions are treated first.
- The average visit takes 3 to 4 hours. This may increase if laboratory tests or X-rays are needed. Some specialty tests take an hour or more to complete. Every effort is made to provide prompt care.
- Evening, weekends and holidays are our busiest times. The emergency room gets busier when other options like primary care physicians or urgent care facilities are closed. Utah Valley Regional Medical Center’s Emergency Room serves an average of 130 patients every day.
- Patients will be evaluated by experienced Emergency Room providers. If the ER provider feels your condition warrants an on-call specialist, one will be contacted. This may lengthen your ER visit.
- Patients should not eat, drink or use the restroom without checking with the ER staff. This prevents any interference with medical tests or procedures.
- We want your visit to go as smoothly as possible. Telephones are available to help you contact family and friends. Social workers, clergy and other counselors are on call to provide assistance. Each patient is allowed up to two visitors, with exceptions made by the primary care nurse.
- Insurance verification and authorization for coverage is the responsibility of the individual receiving service. If you have questions about your insurance coverage, please contact your insurer. Be aware that you will receive separate bills from your ER visit — one from the ER physician group and one from the hospital.
- Before you leave the hospital, be sure you know: what is wrong, including signs and symptoms to watch for and when to go in for a follow-up exam; what you need to do to care for yourself at home, including what medications you should take; and who to call if you have any problems.
No two people will have the exact same experience in an emergency room. But everyone can be confident that the physicians, nurses and other caregivers will provide the best possible care for each individual.

The latest entry into the Geometry Wars series and the production values are pretty nice. Graphics in the game are the best they have been with newly designed levels that work in the third dimension. Overall, there is quite a lot of polish to the titles which shows over its previous endeavours.
While there are some new additional game modes in this third iteration of the series, the same "chase the high score" element is present and is still the main focus of the game. While not entirely bad in and of itself (chasing high scores), it can wear thin pretty quickly.
Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions can be played with any Bluetooth HID compatible controller. Something that is very welcome being that a controller will give much more precise controls for such a hectic style game.

That picture of a genuinely amazed Facebook owner young billionaire Mark Zuckerberg at the sight of Lake Naivasha’s wildlife beauty is what Kenyan tourism needed to revitalize a sector that had suffered in previous months; but why wasn’t Mark at Friday’s Kwita Izina ceremony?
If he was in Kenya for tourism, then he should also have come to Rwanda for Friday’s baby gorilla naming ceremony and completed his East African experience with a twenty minute stop in Kampala to taste the Rolex (a Ugandan street food not the luxury wrist watch).
Forgive my procrastination but I am talking about East Africa’s Single Tourist Visa. Over a year ago, the Heads of States of Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda unveiled the joint initiative that would enable tourists to access the three countries at pleasure.
The initiative meant that a foreigner coming into the region through, say, Kenya, with tourism intentions, would receive the single visa and get to visit all three countries.
No marks to point out that the initiative would boost regional travel and create opportunities for tourists to explore the diversity in the three Northern Corridor countries and in addition, share revenues from the Visa sales.
On this basis, it is fair to say that our Kenyan friends should have disclosed to Mark Zuckerberg all benefits he was entitled to, by virtue of being a foreigner visiting Kenya for tourism.
Mark should have been told that his tourism menu extended to two other countries in the neighborhood. But a little marketing was required here, because it is possible that someone may know about Kenyan tourism and nothing about Rwanda’s or Uganda.
Which is why, in order to make the Single Visa initiative a success, the three countries should have also appointed high level marketing executives stationed at respective embassies to market tourism opportunities in their countries and entice visitors to exploit the opportunity.
Had we had such an executive in Nairobi, this is what they should have told the Facebook billionaire, his beautiful wife and their entourage.
“Dear Mr. Zuckerberg, welcome to our beautiful region, East Africa. As you might have read or heard already, we have quite a lot to offer and since you are partly here to tour, I must commend you for the perfect timing, you couldn’t have chosen a better time to visit,” the executive would have said.
“After your Kenyan experience, which I can guarantee you will find absolutely worthwhile, Uganda and Rwanda will be waiting to spice up your adventure in the region.
“In Uganda, otherwise known as the Pearl of Africa, they have only recently launched the Rolex (Zuckerberg looks at his wrist watch, seemingly puzzled); no, not the wrist watch, sir, it is a popular street food made from baked flour (chapatti) and rolled eggs hence the name ‘Rolex.’
Your people must have noticed a picture that recently went viral on your Facebook, of a female Ugandan Minister swallowing a Rolex during its launch; we strongly recommend that you taste it before leaving the region,” the marketing executive would have cajoled before continuing…
“Now, after Kenya and Uganda, I humbly urge you to conclude your adventure in Rwanda, otherwise known as the land of a thousand hills, milk and honey. Mark, mark my words; you guys will love Rwanda. Everybody does.
You will also most certainly be blown away by Rwanda’s President, Paul Kagame; he is an absolute tech fan! You already know that he has one of the most active presidential accounts on Facebook, yes?
But here is why you must go to Rwanda after your trips in Kenya and Uganda. Kwita Izina! Try to pronounce that at your tongue’s risk. It is a name giving ceremony; for baby mountain gorillas, Rwanda’s main tourist attraction.
Kwita Izina is the most important activity on Rwanda’s tourism calendar. It is even more important this year because President Paul Kagame himself is attending the event, you two should meet!
In fact, if you attend the event, you will get to confer a name upon one of the twenty-two baby guerillas. I can guarantee you that, Mark.”
With that effort, Mark Zuckerberg would have definitely come to Kigali and not only attended the Kwita Izina but also named one of the twenty-two babies.
Being a global icon and social media influencer, Zuckerberg’s pictures posing with one of the dummy gorillas and trying out the Rwanda Cultural dance among other things that he would have done while here, would have immediately become a trending topic on Facebook.
His adventure would also have been a subject of hundreds of online articles just like is the case now with Kenya’s wildlife, following pictures of Mark on enjoying his adventure.
This is not wishful thinking. After launching things, we should always have a sustainable plan to keep the momentum. For example, a year after we welcomed Kigali’s first Car Free Zone, it is now a dead street, which isn’t what we exactly had in mind.
As for tourism, when global influencers such as Mark Zuckerberg pay us a visit, we should always aim for maximum benefits to the region not just a single country.

Is CBD Legal In The UK?
While Cannabidiol (CBD) is something that the health industry has been raving about for quite some time, it hasn’t been legal in the UK until recently.
In spite of its relation to the controversial plant, Cannabis, CBD has still managed to round up a lot of people in its favour.
In fact, Cannabis Trade Association UK stated that the number of Cannabidiol consumers rose from 125,000 in 2017 to 250,000 in 2018. That’s a staggering 100% increase in growth!
Recent research and studies have stated a wide array of possible health benefits of CBD. However, only a few of the reported benefits have been confirmed or proven conclusively by the relevant authorities.
But why is CBD suddenly everyone’s favourite now? It’s not because of a study showing to be some miracle drug which is going to make all the problems in your life disappear. The answer is more mundane: it was a change in legislation which prompted this renewed interest in cannabinoids.
What you’ll get from this page
- Cannabinoids in cannabis
- CBD law in the UK
- A new beginning in CBD law
- CBD for animals
- Is CBD a drug according to UK law?
Cannabinoids In Cannabis
The Cannabis plant comprises of 104 chemical cannabinoids, two of which are of special interest to researchers. Those two are CBD and THC.
Cannabis is more popular for getting “high,” thanks to THC, which is a psychoactive cannabinoid. But what most people don’t know is that cannabis also contains hundreds of cannabinoids which are thought to have a variety of medical properties. One of them is CBD.
Now that people are getting aware of the benefits of CBD, they are eager to use it but don’t know if they should.
Because of its association with cannabis, many people are wondering if it’s even legal. This is the question this article addresses.
You can learn more about CBD, its products, and its benefits in this article.
CBD Law In The UK
Cannabis was classified as a controlled drug by the Misuse of Drugs Regulation Act of 1971. It was also placed under Schedule 1 in 2001. According to the 2001 act, cannabis has no medicinal value whatsoever.
So, is CBD legal? And is it allowed in the UK?
While cannabis is illegal in the UK, its derivative CBD is not. Furthermore, it’s not recognised as a controlled substance under the Misuse of Drugs Regulation Act.
However, there’s a caveat.
CBD products are only legal in the UK as long as they contain under 1mg of THC, the psychoactive cannabinoid. Moreover, THC must not be easily separated from CBD.
This applies more to CBD oil which is the leading CBD product in the market right now.
CBD for personal use
CBD products can be used for personal use as stated by the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency).
However, if they are advertised as medicines, pharmaceutical companies would need a license for it. This is a problem, as licenses for CBD products to be used as medicines are not being granted.
The result of this bizarre regulatory situation is that CBD products can be legally sold as long as they don’t claim to offer any health benefits. There is just one exception:
Any CBD product containing more than 1mg of THC is not allowed in the UK unless approved by the MHRA.
Such is the case with Sativex. Sativex is comprised of 50% THC and 50% CBD and is a licensed medicine by the MHRA. This medicine targets multiple sclerosis.
In 2014, the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence stated that, while the medical benefit of Sativex is not in doubt, they do not recommend it as it is not cost-effective.
Licencing problems are common. According to this BBC article, the licensing of medical cannabis is held back by the fact that there haven’t been enough satisfactory drug trials to prove the safety and effectiveness of the medicine.
Hence, it can only be prescribed to patients in case no other licensed medicines can cure their illness.
A New Beginning In CBD Law
Things took a turn for the better when a new law was released. As of November 2018, UK doctors were able to prescribe CBD oil containing more than 0.2% THC, but only under extremely limited circumstances.
This change in the law was deemed necessary because of the cases of two boys. Billy Caldwell and Alfie Dingley had epilepsy. Their symptoms improved considerably by using medical cannabis.
This incident, coupled with the fact that cannabis can now be legally prescribed, has left UK citizens in a state of confusion. While the British government does acknowledge that derivatives of medical cannabis can have health benefits, they are not readily available to the people who may need them.
As a result, there have been multiple high-profile cases in which the citizens of the UK had to move to other countries, where CBD was legally prescribed, so they could get treatment for themselves or their loved ones.
One of the cases is Julie Galloway. Julie was a desperate parent who left Scotland for the Netherlands in order to find prescribed CBD oil for her 7-year-old daughter, Alexa.
Alexa had a serious form of epilepsy. She would experience seizures lasting up to 20 minutes, during which she couldn’t breathe and would turn blue.
Fortunately for the mother-daughter duo, they came across CBD oil. After treating her daughter with prescribed CBD oil, Julie stated that her daughter’s seizures now only last for about 20 seconds and have been reduced by 60-70%.
CBD For Animals
Strangely enough, and although CBD products are legal in the UK for people (with the above restrictions), they are not legal for pets.
You can find CBD products like dog treats and oils on the market. However, none of them is legal or licensed, unless prescribed by a vet.
This is because of the lack of drug trials and research necessary for CBD products to be licensed for animal use.
Is CBD A Drug According To UK Law?
No. CBD is not a controlled substance under the Misuse of Drugs Regulation Act. Therefore, it does not count as a drug in the UK.
However, will its users test positive during a drug test?
If you’re a CBD user and have to undergo a drug test, you will test negative. Drug tests are designed to identify THC, so as long as your CBD oil is legal it will contain too little THC to test positive.
However, there’s one possible problem with that. Research has shown that up to two-thirds of the CBD products on the market are mislabelled. They may contain more than the claimed amount of THC.
Remember, THC levels more than 1mg are illegal unless prescribed by a doctor!
To summarize about the legal state of CBD in the UK:
- CBD is legal as long as it is not advertised as a medicine and contains less than 1mg of THC.
- As of November 2018, doctors are allowed to prescribe CBD oil which contains more than 1mg of THC. But this is only under limited circumstances.
- CBD oil is illegal for pets unless prescribed by a vet.
With public pressure mounting against the British government, many believe it’s just a matter of time before legislation regarding cannabis becomes more lenient. Watch this space for future updates!
