(2011-05-18) Anouncement: Gameplay change
Knew The News will change the calculation of earnings on predictions. Currently, the earnings are calculated based on the value of an option after the stake was bought. This will be changed to be based on the value of the option at the moment before the stake is bought. This way, the user will become the amount of money in return which the value of the option promises him to get.
For those familiar with the game, these extended functionality will be made available again, whenever the user explicitly activates the "expert mode". Calculation of stakes will be according the described change for stake sizes of 100$ and lower. For any amount exceeding 100$ the new method will be applied to the first 100$, everything above 100$ will be calculated in the current manner.

The default leaderboard has been replaced to reflect the users community activities rather than their wealth. The users are rewarded points for different actions on the site, such as commenting, creating questions, making predictions and friending other users. This is the exact calculation of the points:
Points Action
1 per comment
+ 2 per flag
+ 1 per 10 distinct users predicting on any of the questions
+ 1 per 50 predictions made
+ 2 per friend
+ 1 per rating score
= total community points
(2011-02-12) Comments list

(2011-02-08) Calculation Algorithm Chances
Due to the beta status of Knew The News, calculation of question movements is still somewhat experimental. To reflect new findings, the algoritms for calculation of position prices has now being changed. This might result in unexpected changes in prices, but whatever the site shows: The settlement price is always based on the buying percentage, and so, winnings are always fixed.

Not really so much by their faces!!
It's not perfect but it is definitely an improvement on the first iteration of identification!
So....If you see me say hi!!!!

/**
 * @page dbg_link SW Debugger (C++)
 *
 * @par Overview
 *      This debugger was specially developed as a software utility to interact
 *      with our SOC implementation in \c rocket_soc repository. The main
 *      purpose was to provide convinient way to develop and debug our
 *      Satellite Navigation firmware that can not be debugged by any other
 *      tool provided RISC-V community (for now).
 *      Debugger provides base functionality such as read/write memory
 *      and CSR registers, reloading FW image and reset target. Also we are
 *      developing own version of the CPU simulator (analog of \c spike)
 *      and Full SOC simulators. These extensions for the debugger simplify
 *      porting procedure of the Operating System (Zephyr project) so that
 *      simulation doesn't require any hardware and allow to see CPU registers
 *      on each step and logging them into file.
 *
 * @section dbg_1 Project structure
 *
 * General idea of the project is to develop one \c Core library
 * providing API methods for registering \c classes, \c services, \c attributes
 * and methods to interact with them. Each extension plugin registers one or
 * several class services performing some usefull work. All plugins are
 * built as an independent libraries that are opening by \Core library
 * at initialization stage with the call of method plugin_init().
 * All Core API methods start with \c RISCV_... prefix:
 * @code
 *   void RISCV_register_class(IFace *icls);
 *
 *   IFace *RISCV_create_service(IFace *iclass, const char *name,
 *                               AttributeType *args);
 *
 *   IFace *RISCV_get_service(const char *name);
 *   ...
 * @endcode
 *
 * Configuration of the debugger and plugins is fully described in JSON
 * formatted configuraiton file config.json. This file stores all
 * instantiated services names, attributes values and interconnect among
 * plugins. This configuration can be saved to/load from file at any
 * time. By default command \c exit will save current debugger state into
 * file (including full command history).
 *
 * @note You can manually add/change new CSR registers names and indexes
 *       by modifying this config file without changing source code. If you
 *       accidently corrupt the JSON format you can return default setting
 *       by starting debugger with \c -nocfg key.
 *
 * @par Folders description
 *    -# \b libdgb64g - Core library (so/dll) that provides standard API
 * methods defined in file \c api_core.h.
 *    -# \b appdbg64g - Executable (exe) file implements functionality of
 *                      the console debugger.
 *    -# \a Plugins:
 *      -# \b simple_plugin - Simple plugin (so/dll library) just for
 *                      demonstration of the integration with debugger.
 *      -# \b cpu_fnc_plugin - Functional model of the RISC-V CPU
 *                     (so/dll library).
 *      -# \b socsim_plugin - Functional models of the peripheries
 *                     and assembled board (so/dll library). This plugin
 *                     registers several classes: \c UART, \c GPIO, \c SRAM,
 *                     \c ROMs and etc.
 *
 * @section dbg_target Debug Target
 *
 * We provide two targets that can run your software (bootloader, firmware
 * or user application) without modifications:
 *     -# Platform simulator. Use it if you haven't ML605 or KC705 FPGA boards
 * that are used in our developemnt porjects or just for fun.
 *     -# FPGA boards. We provide bit-files for ML605 (Virtex6) and KC705
 * (Kintex7) boards that can be used without synthesis procedure.
 *
 * @subsection dbg_sim Debug SOC simulator
 *      To run simulation board that reproduce behaviour of the full system
 *      (GPIO, UART, GNSS engine etc) it is enough to start debugger executable
 *      file with key  -sim .
 *
 * @verbatim bin/release/appdbg64g.exe -sim  @endverbatim
 *
 * In this case common structure will be look as follow:
 *
 *
 *
 * If you'll get the error messages that image files not found
 *
 *
 *
 * To fix this problem do the following steps:
 *     -# Close debugger console using \c exit command.
 *     -# Open config.json file in any editor.
 *     -# Find strings that specify these paths and correct them. Simulator
 * uses the same images as VHDL platform for ROMs intialization. You can find
 * them in 'rocket_soc/fw_images' directory. After that you should
 * see something like follow:
 *
 *
 *
 * Debug your target. All commands that are available for Real Hardware
 * absolutely valid for the Simulation. Debugger doesn't see any difference
 * between these two targets.
 *
 * @note We redirect all output streams of the simulated platform into
 *      debugger console but we are going to implement independent GUI for
 *      simulated platform with its own UART/GPIO or Ethernet outputs
 *      and serial console window.
 *
 * @subsection dbg_hw Debug Real Hardware
 *
   Before you start pass through the following checklist:
 *    -# You should properly @link eth_link setup network connection @endlink
 * and see FPGA board in ARP-table.
 *    -# If you've changed default FPGA IP address:
 *          -# Open config.json
 *          -# Change value ['BoardIP','192.168.0.51'] on your one.
 *    -# Run debugger
 *
 * @verbatim bin/release/appdbg64g.exe @endverbatim
 *
 * In this case connection scheme with FPGA board looks as follow:
 *
 *
 *
 * Example of debugging session (Switch ON all User LEDs on board):
 * @code
 *      riscv# csr MCPUID               -- Read supported ISA extensions
 *      riscv# read 0xfffff000 20       -- Read 20 bytes from PNP module
 *      riscv# csr MRESET 1             -- Raise CPU reset signal
 *      riscv# write 0x80000000 4 0xff  -- Write into GPIO new LED value
 *      riscv# loadelf helloworld       -- Load elf-file to board RAM and run
 * @endcode
 *
 * Debugger console view
 *
 *
 *
 * FPGA serial console output:
 *

Heartbreaking Photo Of Elderly Homeless Man Spurs Community To Help
A heartbreaking photo of an elderly homeless man huddled outside a Tesco in a bid to shelter from the freezing temperatures brought on by Storm Emma has spurred an entire community to action.
The picture of the frail man wrapped up in blankets next to a trolley full of his belongings led to people in Erdington, Birmingham, helping him get off the streets.
Sitting outside a Tesco, the unnamed man, who is believed to be in his 70s, was spotted by a passer-by who shared the tear-jerking scene on Facebook.

Jo Bialan posted the image with the caption: 'Never in a million years when giving out clothes did I think I would come across this – OMG.
'He's been there all night and I've given him stuff and hot coffee to keep his hands warm. Surprisingly said, for now, he is OK.
'Please share this – Tesco's Erdington High Street, have gone to work crying, phone calls to make, this guy is in his 70s.
'Birmingham City Council, Age Concern, Theresa May – God help this country.'
After seeing the heartbreaking image, shoppers and residents contacted the city council, the local MP, Jack Dromey, and various charities in order to help the man off the street, reports the Birmingham Mail.

Birmingham Homeless Support Team (BHST) praised the community's persistence and said it was this determination that led to accommodation being found for the homeless man.
BHST tweeted on Wednesday that the elderly man had a roof over his head, writing: 'We are getting a lot of messages on Facebook and Twitter regarding the elderly chap in Erdington.
'We understand your concern and it's great to see so many people wanting to help out. But this chap is now in temporary accommodation and is off the streets.
'Angela, a local resident, has been helping the chap out all day by contacting the local authorities and basically telling them it's not on. Obviously, they listened to Angela and helped him out.'

Gas pipeline focus of 'historic' talks between Israeli, Greek and Cypriot leaders – Jerusalem Post
Posted by Editor on Sunday, January 31st 2016
By HERB KEINON
PM Tsipras of Greece said cooperation with Israel and Cyprus was a "strategic choice" for Athens.
NICOSIA – Israel, Cyprus and Greece decided at their first ever tripartite meeting to set up a steering committee to look into laying a gas pipeline from Israel to Cyprus, and then to Greece for further export to Europe.
The decision was announced by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, standing next to Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades and Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras.
Each leader delivered a statement noting the historic nature of the meeting, and highlighting the possibilities this emerging alliance has for the region. They did not answer any questions from the press.
While both Anastasiades and Tsipras stressed, without mentioning Turkey by name, that this cooperation was not "against anyone else," Netanyahu did not make a reference at all to Turkey, either directly or indirectly.
National Infrastructure, Water and Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz, who was part of the Israeli delegation, told reporters on the plane en route to Nicosia that Israel wanted to have the ability to export the gas both through Greece and Turkey. Laying the pipeline to Turkey is considerably cheaper than through Cyprus and Greece.
Anastasiades, as host of the summit, spoke first, and said this cooperation was based on an appreciation that "it is imperative to work collectively through coordination." He said that the three leaders signed a joint declaration, which he termed a "historic document" that deals with cooperation in the energy, tourism, research, water-management, anti-terrorism and immigration spheres. He said that a trilateral steering committee will monitor the agreement.
Netanyahu, who said that as the son of a historian he was averse to using the term "historic," said that the term did however fit the meeting. "I believe this meeting has historic implications," he said. "The Last time Greeks, Cypriots and Jews sat around a table and talked about a common framework was 2,000 years ago."
In addition to the gas pipeline, Netanyahu also spoke of a plan to lay an underwater cable to connect the electric grids of all three countries. "You can export gas through electricity," he said.
Tsipras said that cooperation with Israel and Cyprus was a "strategic choice" for Athens.

Beautiful wildflowers, Jeanne. I love the Trout Lilly and the Bloodroot.
Did you gather any fiddleheads for dinner?
Didn't know that you can eat fiddleheads. Have you eaten them before?
Glad spring has finally arrived! We are still enjoying an amazing Indian Summer down here.
Great to hear from you Tom. I hope after our late spring that we will be blessed with a long beautiful fall.
BFF and I just enjoyed a peek at the Planetary Triple of Venus (bottom), Jupiter (left) and Mercury (right) in the night sky just past sunset. We headed out again a few minutes later, when the sky was a tad darker . . . but the clouds had blotted out the planets.
You should be able to view it tonight and tomorrow at sunset (if clouds don't get in the way).
That would do it for me too . . . and I'm not much of a napper.
Now I have to add Astronomy to the list of classes I wish I'd taken in college. The others on the list also start with "A" ~ Archeology, Art History.
Hey, you're back! Nice to see some blog posts from you, Jeanne. I hadn't seen anything on Flickr, so assumed you weren't blogging anymore.
Have not seen any of these lovely wildflowers before.
I don't know how common they are in other parts of the country but are here in Central Minnesota in the spring.
The Bloodroot is beautiful. Reminds me of the Bethlehem Star that grows in my area.


It's almost become a badge of honor among restauranteurs, to have Six Point Ales make you an exclusive brew.
Joining that select circle, which including Frankies Sputino and Bark, is John Dory, the April Bloomfield-Ken Friedman fish restaurant that reopens this week. It's called Six Point Oyster Stout. Oyster stout is stout filtered through oyster shells. I got an early taste of it at the Eater Awards on Monday. It's incredibly dry, with a great, almost metallic aftertaste, and I could see it going splendidly with oysters.
Sasha Petraske is doing the cocktail list and he's paring the drinks with food (not a trend I support, unless you like to get smashed before the entree comes).


It is because of our fallen state that some are lazy and refuse to work, while others are slothful and careless in their work. Sin causes some to view work selfishly – solely from a financial perspective. In other words, they have little regard for the service they may be able to render to God or the glory due to Him. They view work only as a way to get money and thus stuff for themselves.

The biggest slice of the Levy income goes on research because it's so important for the future of New Zealand's forestry. Research includes such things as studying pests and diseases which already harming our forests, or which are not yet in New Zealand, but would do damage if they did arrive.
It also includes working out better ways to fight forest fires, or making tree seedlings more sturdy.
The second biggest portion of the levy spend is on biosecurity to ensure forests stay healthy.

The CrystalSENS LB 480 from Berthold Technologies can be used as a radiometric level switch system in tanks, and chemical reactors. To maintain the measurement stability and to monitor the detector functionality, the unique and unrivaled Berthold "cosmic radiation gain control" is used. This allows the use as a SIL2 high, or even low point level switch, without additional measures. Even the use in functional safety circuits with SIL3 is possible, when using two CrystalSENS LB 480. Furthermore the cosmic radiation gain control makes it possible to minimize the source activity for level switch systems. Berthold Technologies is the sole supplier of density and continuous level field devices, as well as level switches for SIL2/3 functional safety circuits. Another unique feature is the patented 4 … 20 mA monitoring, that identifies current signal deviations in the loop. Hence a possible fault in the current output circuit of the LB 480, or at the repeater side, e.g. due to lightning or wrong connections, can be identified without delay. Naturally, the LB 480 comes with the Berthold renowned reliability for radiometric measurement systems.


What is a smog check? New California residents and those getting a driver's license in the state for the first time often have questions about this auto requirement. Here's what California drivers need to know about the state's smog test.
All vehicles must have a smog test every two years to be legally registered in the state. New residents must have an inspection of this kind completed within 20 days of establishing residency to register their cars in the state, even if they already have a certificate from another state. The certificate can then be brought to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) so the car can be registered.
Drivers must have this test done at a DMV-approved smog test facility. The requirement is waived for certain vehicles, including gas-powered cars built before 1975, vehicles over 14,000 pounds and powered by natural gas, diesel-powered vehicles either over 14,000 pounds or made before 1997, electric vehicles, and motorcycles. In addition, certain zip codes and counties do not require the test.
A smog test is just as important as regular maintenance for your vehicle. Make sure you're up to date on yours before hitting the road.

Q: Best practices for changing REST API server I have a dilemma: I had created a simple Javascript application that uses a Rails REST API. Variables in Ruby were declared according to their best practices: snake/underline case. In that way, the data received from the client-app, is in that format.
Now, I want to use another framework for server, ASP.NET. The problem is that the best practices for variables in C# is PascalCase (upper cammelCase). I don't want to change too much code in the Javascript app, but I  wouldn't like to "break" the best practices.
What should I do?
What's the best practice or the best way?
Is there a simple way to interprete underline_case, and parse it to PascalCase?

A: In Ruby, there are methods which specifically accomplish this.
They come from the activesupport gem.
Install then, then require active_support/all.
Then try the following methods:

*

*"PascalCase".underscore will return pascal_case

*"underline_case".camelize will return UnderlineCase

This is included by default in Rails.

A: In Kaltura we generate an XML descriptor of each API server, see example: http://www.kaltura.com/api_v3/api_schema.php
We have different servers written in different coding languages so we had to deal with the same issue.
We decided that internally different servers will implement according to their coding standard but the REST API offers a different path to each one of the controllers and actions and the objects and their properties are named externally according to common standard.
To align with each client side language, we generate a different client library for each coding language according to its standard, see the generator: https://github.com/kaltura/clients-generator, you can use it yourself.
For more server guidelines, see my blog: http://restafar.com/create-new-rest-server/

Two weeks ago, I logged into IG for an OOTD post, and one of the coolest girls I have never met tags me to do her tag. I am eccentric about this because I don't know Mauree but I know Mauree in a way. LOL. She is related to one of the most powerful and amazing Christian leaders rising in Tulsa and I am not sure how I didn't figure that she would be as awesome or probably even more. 🙂 I am hoping we get to meet soon (like this year soon) and do some kind of collab. We shall see.
Without further due, here are my answers to the Fall Fave's Tag.
1. What's your favorite fall memory?
My favorite fall memory… Good question. I don't know if this counts as my all-time favorite, but I do miss walking to class during the fall semester in college (OKSTATE). I know, I know, it sounds lame, but I seriously enjoyed walking through our library lawn, crossing Monroe, and even bumping into people while trying to get to class.
2. What's your favorite fall drink?
I really enjoy drinking white chocolate mochas, but I have recently discovered hazelnut lattes, and they are pretty close in the run for the number one spot.
3. What's your favorite fall clothing item?
I would say leather jackets, but that is an all-year, everywhere I go, if I was buried I would want to wear one type of item. So, this year I have to say my favorite item is my pair of pointed toe black booties. OMG. They are a must have. Comfortable. Fashion-forward. Classic.
4. What's one item that you want to add to your closet this fall?
5. What's your favorite fall scent?
I don't have one at the moment. I prefer clean and fresh scents–my 2 signature scents are Chance Eau Fraîche Eau de Toilette Spray by CHANEL and Daisy Eau So Fresh by Marc Jacobs. But I want to branch out and try something new– ie. Love Story by Chloe or Dahlia Noir by Givenchy (in which are warmer and richer scents; hence, fall appropriate).
6. What's your favorite fall movie(s)?
If I could watch a movie over and over again in the fall, it would be Drumline. The reason being, they are in football season, the band is dope, and I just love the connection Nick Cannon and Zoe Saldana have in this college romantic.
7. What's your favorite fall beauty product?
I love beauty products, especially highlighters. BUT what has won me over in the matter of hours of purchasing it is my Kiehl's LIP BALM #1 in mint. Seriously a life saver for this cold and harsh season that dries up my lips easily. I apply before wearing lipliners/lipsticks/glosses/stains/etc. and after exfoliating, right before I go to sleep. Great must have.
I am a sucker for chips and salsa. And chips and queso. And chips and guac. It does not help that I am Mexican because I am always eating these things.
9. What's your favorite fall candle?
I am not a big fan of the pumpkin, spiced apple pie, jazz. As I mentioned previously, I prefer clean and fresh scents. But one of my favorite candles is Apres Ski by NEST. Seriously, a potent smell that is freshly delightful.
10. What song gets you in the fall spirit?
I love the Zion Acoustic Album by Hillsong United. My favorite song of the album is Mercy, Mercy, and I have looped it over and over this past week.
Until next time… Love you guys!
So I just finished my first quarter of bible college at VBC this Friday. Ah!!! I can't believe it. I remember waking up on orientation day, not knowing if I should go because I had no way of paying for it. God said GO, and of course I went, with legs as weak and flimsy as noodles. I was shaking, I was literally walking by faith, not knowing what the next step would be. BUT now it is the beginning of the second quarter! Wow.
I am glad I was obedient. I don't know if things that have happened within the last 8 weeks would have happened if I had been working full time instead. Full time you ask, yes. I was offered the job I had been waiting for since graduation—to be a visual merchandiser full time, with good pay, good benefits, and a consistent schedule! I was ready to say YES to this offer, when God changed it ALL up. What?! I was so perplexed. But I had so much peace about not committing to it and going to bible school instead. I know that I would be stagnant in my faith. physically drained, and emotionally unstable. Yet I am growing spiritually, disciplined physically, and emotionally thriving. I have had so much favor, energy, love for others, miraculous finances coming to my bank account, and just a plethora of other blessings. Praise God!
I am so excited to continuously apply everything I have learned in my everyday living. From analyzing what I truly believe, to being sensitive on how I treat others, to making a cash flow plan and sticking to it have been some of the things I have been challenged in. Nonetheless, I have met some amazing people and I am beyond honored to have connected with them.
I have much expectation for the second quarter; probably even more than the first because I didn't know what I was getting myself into. Now that I do know parts and pieces of it, I cannot wait to learn more and in return, help those around me.
Second quarter, I am ready for you!
When it comes to making changes, the easiest thing to do is to not make them and stay stagnant. As the summer is ending, a lot of things in my life from the past are also ending. It can be hard to let go of old friends, old memories, old habits that you are used to, but moving on is probably the best thing to do.
I cannot remember any time where I had to let go of something treasured and it was easy. I don't believe it is supposed to be…but grasping the new is. 🙂 Staying peaceful, joyful, and grateful has allowed me to be easy. So many times we get caught up in the things we "have" or feel entitled to, but in order to get new and experience new you have to disown the old.
Imagine holding 20 sour lemons with your hands, but someone offering a big watermelon, and you not trusting to let go of the little lemons. Why the heck would you not let go of the bitter lemons in exchange for a sweet and refreshing treat? Just let it go. Be easy. The best is ahead!
And seriously, what is life without enjoying it? Always remember to enjoy the process, the changes, the ups and the downs, as hard as it can be. As long as you have a community of people that encourages you to keep going, and that believe in your future, ENJOY IT. You only get to live once in the body you live in. LIVE LIMITLESS.
One of the things we have to do in life is change and be willing to change. This time in New York City, Becca and I wanted to do photo shoots in the middle of random neighborhoods. This shoot took place by NYC FIT's dorms and outside their museum.
Becca was not the most comfortable in front of the camera, but she eventually grasped the feel of it. A lot of times, God allows us to experience new things to push us out of our comfort zone. It is super healthy to try new things because this gives us an open heart to the newness God can bring in different seasons of our life.
Also, when you try new things, do not be afraid. And even if you are scared, face that thing—as simple as that. You have to know that fear is only in the mind. Fear is only a mind state that will keep you from growing. In order to grow, you will have to face challenges with the best foot forward. Continue to push. Do not let your mind keep you from the next.
Trying new things. Today, I challenge you to do something you have NEVER ever done. Whether it is trying a new food, lifting 5 more times the weights you lift at the gym, or even trying to learn how to paint and you aren't artistic, try it. You never know what boundaries you are pushing just by trying.


"Millions of patients have been granted the authorization to use medical Cannabis and Cannabis-based products by their respective state Health Departments and four states have begun taxing and regulating Cannabis sold for 'recreational' purposes," said Vigil and Stith. "However, the federal government continues to categorize Cannabis sativa as a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act, a more restrictive categorization than that used for cocaine, methamphetamine and PCP."
The definition of a Schedule I drug includes a "high potential for abuse," and "no currently accepted medical use," implying "a lack of accepted safety use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision, according to Vigil and Stith.
"This has created a truly unique and an unnecessary paradox in modern medicine, in which physicians are authorizing treatments to patients, and patients are regularly using medication without a scientific basis of knowledge on patient outcomes, forced rather to rely only on scientifically invalid or anecdotal information," Vigil and Stith said.
"An IND requires a level of specificity that may be difficult to achieve with a plant product or even undesirable when one takes into account the variation of natural phenotypes and the range of products used by patients, Vigil and Stith said. "In the case of new drug development with the intent to commercialize, such oversight may be prudent, but it is unclear why a study on, for example, the effects of smoked Cannabis sativa on driving impairment would also require an IND after receiving approval by a qualified Institutional Review Board."
After filing for and receiving IND approval from the FDA, the scientist must also register the study and receive approval from the DEA, an organization tasked with the conflicting interest of "enforcing controlled substances laws and regulations," which currently prohibit possession or distribution of Cannabis sativa, obvious components of any clinical investigation. The only exception is for Cannabis sativa purchased through NIDA. In other words, all Cannabis sativa used for research purposes must be purchased through NIDA, despite the fact that NIDA's stated mission is to bring "the power of science to bear on drug abuse and addiction." No mention is made of research related to therapeutic benefits or the potential for non-addictive recreational use.
The highest level of THC currently available through NIDA is 12.4 percent (National Institute on Drug Abuse, accessed January 2016). As of December, 2015, out of all the currently funded NIH grants with the term 'Marijuana' (n = 51) or 'Cannabis' (n = 50) in the Project title, nearly every study addressed Cannabis use as a problem behavior, and only two studies measured the (analgesic) effects of Cannabis sativa in real time, each using products with potency levels between 3.5 percent and 7 percent THC. In contrast, a study presented by the owner of a state-certified Cannabis sativa testing laboratory at the 249th National Meeting and Exposition of the American Chemical Society found that the Cannabis sativa sold in Colorado averaged 18.7 percent THC levels with some strains registering as high as 35 percent THC.
"Clearly, results from studies using Cannabis sativa obtained from the University of Mississippi offer little to no insight into the effects actually experienced by medical marijuana patients in terms of both therapeutic benefits and negative side effects, if any," Vigil and Stith said.
"With increasing morbidity rates associated with prescribed narcotic abuse (particularly among non-Hispanic Whites) there is a legitimate place for Cannabis sativa as an alternative and perhaps primary therapeutic option for patients with a broad range and severity of negative health symptoms," Vigil and Stith said.
"Unfortunately, both the costs and benefits of medicinal use of Cannabis sativa remain essentially unknown, and because the federal government effectively bans clinical research on Cannabis sativa, citizens, including many severely ill individuals, may suffer and die unnecessarily from both the unknown risks and the unknown benefits of consuming Cannabis sativa," Vigil and Stith added.

Even if you think that the property you're planning to purchase is your dream home, inspecting the property is an extremely important reality check which helps you to mark all the flaws you're missing out. Purchasing an investment property is a very exciting journey and if you want to make the most out of it, you need to focus on every single detail.
These are some of the basic things outside the building that needs to be checked on for both residential and commercial properties.
The location and the neighborhood of the property influence what types of tenants you can expect and the chances of facing vacancies. For instance, when you buy a property around a university, your tenants are most likely to be university students and you'll have to deal with vacancies on a regular basis when the students go for holidays. In case of commercial properties, the business is more strongly influenced by location and neighborhood to provide enough security and convenience to customers, suppliers and employees.
If your property is next to a criminal hot spot, it's not a very good news. To acquire some accurate crimes statistics for your locality, check with the police or the public library instead of asking the seller who is desperate to sell the house to you. You should also check out the frequency of police presence around the neighborhood.
Tenants will be more attracted and business will flourish with appropriate amenities in the neighborhood. So check out for parks, malls, movie theaters, gyms, school, hospitals, public transports and such other amenities to help you attract tenants or business. Promotional literature like brochures and flyers of different development projects are often available to provide you a basic idea on where the best combination of private property and public amenities exists.
You'll have to deduct the insurance from your returns, which makes it essential to have an estimation for how much you need to carry. If the property is located in a landslide or flood prone zone, the additional insurance premium can accumulate and diminish your rental income. However, the worst consequence of buying a property in a disaster prone zone is that, you will find it extremely challenging to attract people to stay in or even come close to the property.
You would definitely want your property to be located in a healthy and safe environment. City centers with severe air pollutants or heavy industrial zones with high noise pollution levels can be disastrous. Thus it's important to make sure that you're purchasing a property in a location with minimum risk of environmental hazards.
When you purchase a new home, the requirement of cosmetic changes is inevitable. Here are a few things you should check out before signing the papers for your new residential property.
Thoroughly check out the structural elements of the building, including foundation, beams, columns, partition walls, ceilings, fences, roofing, etc. You can do this inspection on your own and also with the assistance of a building professional to ensure the absolute structural integrity of the building.
Although checking the drains might sound a bit silly, but it's very important. There's supposed to be a backup between the house and sewer line. One simple way to check if the drains are working perfectly is to fill up all the tubs and sinks and let them all drain out at the same time.
Replacing windows is neither fun nor cheap. Open all the windows and see if they can be opened and closed perfectly.
You won't enjoy laying under a cabinet and trying to remove things with funny tools. Check and make sure all faucets are working properly in order to cross off a back ache.
Your city might have great quality water, but the pipes might be old enough to get rusted and there is a chance that the water in your glass will not be crystal clear. Be informed if you'll need to install a filter for the entire house.
Check if all the toilets flush properly and can deal with toilet papers. If you're not satisfied, the seller might be generous enough to issue you money back to make some replacements.
A neat and labeled panel is a treat for the eyes. If the electrical panel looks like some tangled squirrels, it probably means troubles. If there are loose wires which are not connected to any lines, it might mean that live wires are present inside the walls.
When you know that water heaters and the air conditioners are in perfect condition, that's a big bonus because they are the most frequently used appliances. Make sure to inspect how these appliances work at variable temperatures.
Find out if there are any hardwood floors or molds and mildew below the carpet. Many homeowners will allow you to see the floor conditions by removing a small section of the carpet.
Nearly all the items on the checklist for inspecting residential properties are included in the list for inspecting commercial properties with just a few additions.
Usually the properties which are being sold for commercial purposes were used for the same purposes by the previous owner as well. Acquire information on what type of business was carried out previously in the building. Was it used for any industrial productions? Industrial sewage, chemicals and gases can be hazardous to the body. Besides, many old commercial properties were equipped with outdated HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system. Poorly maintained system may increase the risk for health hazards thus need to be attended seriously.
Commercial buildings are more prone to fire hazards. Faulty electrical wiring can cause short circuits leading to these fire hazards. The lack of adequate fire exits can be disastrous as well. Prior to purchasing your property, ensure safe electrical wiring to prevent any possible accidents.
Many property owners do not pay heed to the water systems for commercial buildings as much they do for residential properties. The faulty water and drainage systems should be watched out as they can cause high repairing and maintenance costs to your business in the future. Faulty water system and poor drainage system might result into flooding your office.
In case of locations with warm climates, commercial properties should have the provision for air conditioners. Multi-storied buildings must have active elevators. Make sure that these devices are functioning properly before purchasing the property.
Purchasing a residential or commercial property is a very complex process and needs to be dealt with knowledge, intelligence and experience. Inspecting the property before purchasing it, is probably the most essential one. Proper and thorough checkup of your investment property helps to lower risks, avoid unforeseen problems and hidden costs. No one wants to end up with a big list of expensive problems which were discovered after purchasing property. Only buyers who inspect and analyse all the variables systematically will win the best deal at the best rate.

Discovery of an unrecognized pathway carrying overflow waters toward the Faroe Bank Channel
Bert Bolin
Bolin Centre's History
Bolin Researchers
An international team discovered a previously unrecognized ocean current that transports water to one of the world's largest "waterfalls" in the North Atlantic Ocean: the Faroe Bank Channel Overflow into the deep North Atlantic. While investigating the pathways that water takes to feed this major waterfall, the research team identified a surprising path of the cold and dense water flowing at depth, which led to the discovery of this new ocean current.
"This new ocean current and the path it takes toward the Faroe Bank Channel are exciting findings," said Léon Chafik, the lead author of the paper published in Nature Communications and a research scientist at Bolin Centre for Climate Research and Department of Meteorology at Stockholm University, Sweden.
"The two discoveries reported here, in one of the best studied areas of the world ocean, is a stark reminder that we still have much to learn about the Nordic Seas," said co-author Thomas Rossby, emeritus professor at the URI Graduate School of Oceanography. "This is crucial given the absolutely fundamental role they play in the major glacial-interglacial climate swings."
Previous studies dealing with this deep flow have long assumed that these cold waters, which flow along the northern slope of the Faroes, turn directly into the Faroe-Shetland Channel (the region the water flows through before reaching the Faroe Bank Channel). Instead, Chafik and the paper's co-authors show that there exists another path into the Faroe-Shetland Channel. They show that water can take a longer path all the way to the continental margin outside Norway before turning south heading toward this major waterfall. "Revealing this newly identified path from available observations was not a straightforward process and took us a good deal of time to piece together" said Chafik.
The researchers also found this new path depends on prevailing wind conditions. "It seems that the atmospheric circulation plays a major role in orchestrating the identified flow regimes," added Chafik.
The study further reveals that much of the water that will end up in the Faroe Bank Channel is not in fact transported along the western side of the Faroe-Shetland Channel (the region the water flows through before reaching the Faroe Bank Channel), as previously thought. Instead, most of this water comes from the eastern side of the Faroe-Shetland Channel where it is transported by a jet-like and deep-reaching ocean current. "This was a curious but very exciting finding, especially since we are aware that a very similar flow structure exists in the Denmark Strait. We are pleased that we were able to identify this new ocean current both in observations and a high-resolution ocean general circulation model," said Chafik.
"Because this newly discovered flow path and ocean current play an important part in the ocean circulation at higher latitudes, its discovery adds to our limited understanding of the overturning circulation in the Atlantic Ocean," said Chafik. "This discovery would not have been possible without many institutional efforts over the years."

Minecraft getting worse?
Please do not get mad at me for hating on Minecraft, I really do love this game but I just can't anymore.
So, I played Minecraft for a very long time, when it came out for the Xbox 360, I got the game. I played with friends, enjoyed it a lot, I then moved onto Minecraft (Windows 10) which was even better, unfortunately, to get mods (resource packs/behavior packs) you had to pay for coins which you could then use to buy these mods, which is better than having no mods at all, but still, there should be more than just mods that you have to pay for, a couple of days ago, I started working really hard to get minecraft, when I finally got it, I was severely disappointed because there was no way to play with friends, which was one of my highest reasons to get it right next to mods.
Now, when I try to get a refund, it says they're answering refund requests all the way back in may?! Not only that, but the reasons to refund are only 3 possible reasons to get a refund, which is ridiculous. Oh, and the servers, oh boy the servers, I just wanted to play with my friends, but instead, I have to pay 9.99$ a month on the minecraft website? Or you know, I could pay 4.99$ a month to a sketchy website I've never heard of. Now, all I have to do is wait 2 months until they accept my refund request which probably won't be accepted as it does not fall under the 3 things.

Projected tuition increases from a report by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives.
Photo: Marta Iwanek
In four years tuition will be over nine thousand: study
In News September 17, 2014 Leave a Comment
By Ramisha Farooq
National tuition fees are expected to increase by a total of 13 per cent over the next four years, according to a new report by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA).
The CCPA, an independent research group, projects that fees will rise to a nation-wide average of $7,755 by the 2017-18 school year. Students in Ontario will continue to pay the highest tuition fees in the country at an average of $9,483, a 12 per cent jump from the current provincial average.
"Everyone here knows how much we all depend on OSAP, I don't know why they would raise tuition," said first-year journalism student Alexis Kuskuics.
Ryerson President Sheldon Levy doesn't think tuition costs will rise so dramatically, citing the Ontario government tuition cap policy.
The provincial Liberal government introduced a tuition cap in 2013, which lowered the maximum possible tuition increase to three per cent per year from five per cent for undergraduate programs.
It also added a five per cent tuition fee increase limit on graduate and professional programs.
"Right now the government has the policy established for four years so I don't think the government is going to change their policy," said Levy. "The maximum [tuition] can go up is three per cent each of those two [remaining] years." Last year, however, the tuition fees in Ontario for undergrad programs went up by four per cent, according to the CCPA report.
Jesse Root, vice-president education for the Ryerson Students' Union, said he believes that despite the projected increase, everything comes down to priorities for the university.
"[The increases are] something we already know because [they] already fall within the Liberal framework. Ultimately it comes down to underfunding of the institution," Root said.
Fees in Ontario have quadrupled over the past 20 years while public funding for university operating revenue fell to 55 per cent in 2011 from 79 per cent in 1993, according to the CCPA.

Ryerson receives just over 30 per cent of its operating revenue from provincial grants, the lowest among all Ontario universities, according to the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance.
The rise in fees is also attributed to smaller ancillary costs, like athletic and deferral fees, that students are charged on top of tuition costs. Alberta universities top the list, with students projected to pay around $1,025 per year in additional costs. Ontario students are expected to pay $1,010 in similar fees by the 2017-18 school year.
Erica Shaker, director of the CCPA, told The Financial Post that the cost of getting a degree is an "enormous financial stress" for students and families.
"All the evidence both in Canada and the U.S. does indicate that financial stressors on students are even more pronounced than stressing about academic performance," Shaker said.


Summary of Question: "Amrit Vela"
People say that a Sikh should get up around 3 AM (approximately 3 hrs. before sunrise--"Amrit Vela") in the morning and do "paath" and "simran". There are some people who work during the evening or night shifts which makes them unable to do "paath" at 3 AM. What can these people do? I am a university student and I have some classes in the late evening. During some days of the week, I get home at around 9:30 PM. I then have my dinner and I study a little. By the time I go to bed, its 11 PM or 1 AM. Now, if I go to bed this late, I can't get up in 3 or 4 hours. If I get up at 5 or 6 AM, then the problem is that the Amrit Vela is over!! Shree Guru Granth Saheb Jee mentions that it is very important to get up early and remember God during the "Amrit Vela". The following is a quote from the SGGS Jee: "AMRIT VELEY BOLEYA BABEEHA, TAA DAR SUNI PUKAAR" From what I understand, this means that the prayer of a Sikh is heard in HIS court only during the Amrit Vela. I think that the emphasis in the statement is on the word, "TAA" (THEN ONLY). Please correct me if I am wrong. Now, for those of us who can't get up during the Amrit Vela for one reason or the other, what can be done? If a person does "paath" after Amrit Vela, does that mean that his/her prayer is not considered to be very "powerful"? In other words, is the PUKAAR (voice, prayer) then heard in his DAR (court/door of God)? Please answer all the questions asked above. I appreciate your help. Thank you very much!!
Everybody has God's light and it must be lit by a person's own discipline. And the glass to keep it lit and shining should be kept by the person's own courage, strength and grit. I believe it. I believe this is the love. I believe everybody has the chance to love one's soul and every soul has the right to shine and every shine has to bring light and brightness, beauty and bountifulness to all, generation after generation. You love your children? You do. They are beautiful. Isn't that innocent soul in you, also your life child ? Have you kissed the soul? Have you hugged the soul? Have you communicated with the soul in the morning at the ambrosial hours when there is absolutely no disturbance? Sadhna is nothing but where a disciplined one, the love, talks to one's own soul. is nothing but where one cleans his own mind. Sadhna is nothing but where one prepares for the day to become kind and compassionate for everyone, including the enemies. If you think you are poor, you are poor because you do not communicate with your soul, the source of prosperity, and the source of reality. If you think you are desperate, you are desperate because you have no sadhna. Desperation, depression, and a feeling of destitution come only to those who have no discipline or sadhna. Only a house that is not cleaned looks dirty, and the mind that is not cleaned stinks. Sadhna is the most selfish act of every act, because it is a self-cleansing. Cleanliness is Godliness. It is good to wear good clothes, look good, and to be bright, and beautiful, but when you want to be blissful and bountiful, you have to have a clear mind, a mind through which your soul; your spirit can shine. When you stand, take a stand, and stand tall. Walk tall and stand by the strength of your soul. Not the strength of your intellect, intelligence, and your cowardice. If you want to speak to anybody, to deal with any thing, to have any relationship, just have a relationship by the strength of your soul. Otherwise you will miss the goal of life.
So what we have is, "Amrit Vela Sach Naao Vadeeaaee Veechaar." We get up early in the morning, we rise, and we do our sadhana so that we can match up with the day, so we can match up with absolute reality. Face the reality with reality. Don't face the reality with laziness and slowness. If you do so, you will never be successful and then you are your own enemy. You can't make it. And that's why sadhana is an act.
Some people think sadhana is a punishment. I agree with them. I agree with them. Because those who want to punish themselves during the day, and they do not want to match up with reality as reality -- and those who do not want to prepare themselves -- they are afraid to face the day and they have that fear. They are always afraid of sadhana and shall continue to be so. Sadhana does not do anything to us except prepare us for a bad day. Guru Nanak has said: "Amrit Velaa Sach Naao Vadeeaaee Veechaar, Karamee Avay Kaparaa Nadaree Moakh Duaar, Naanak Avay Jaaneeai Sabh Aapay Sachiaar." "Nanak, this I know only this way, that my actions will be covered." How you can cover your actions? If you have a tremendous flexibility – then you are sharp; you are intuitive; you know what you are saying; you know what you are doing; and you also understand 100% of what the other person wants; and what he is saying, and what he is doing and what he is relating to. This is because life is a mutual interaction, and you, if you run life with only a single interaction -- your action within your mind -- you are a failure to start with, and mind you, 99% of all people do this mistake. They relate within their minds, within their feelings, with their ideas, with their thoughts, within themselves.

"Workin' Together" is a song written by Ike Turner (credited to Eki Renrut, his name spelled backwards) and released by Ike & Tina Turner in 1970 as the lead single from their most successful studio album Workin' Together.

Composition and release
"Workin' Together" is a mid-tempo song powered by Tina's soulful chorus and Ike on guitar. The subject of the song is unusual for the duo because it's political, detailing the problems of the world. The single was released in October 1970, reaching No. 41 on the Billboard Soul Singles chart and No. 105 on Bubbling Under The Hot 100. Ike and Tina  promoted the single with a music video which contains live performances, candid footage of the duo, and clips about violence, racism and war. The video was shown on American Bandstand in January 1971.

Critical reception
Billboard (October 24, 1970): "Title tune of their current LP, the dynamic duo hit hard with this driving rock item with strong lyric line. A sure-fire chart topper for their recent 'I Want to take You Higher.'"
Cash Box (October 24, 1970): "Let's try a little love for a change," wails Tina with such sheer power and liquid grace that it turns this plea for interracial peace into a total Super-smash! Creeping concert and electric pianos herald the advent of Tina's clawing heart -felt vocals. And then Ike's strong vital arrangement sweeps the song headlong towards a series of climaxes. Little doubt that this will find heavy airplay and sales in both top forty and r&b circles. It's dead on target.

17 pounds, nearly $800K worth of meth seized from Utah man, NC sheriff says
by: Mike Andrews
Daniel Gallardo (Iredell County Sheriff's Office)
IREDELL COUNTY, N.C. (WJZY) – A Utah man was arrested in Iredell County last Wednesday after investigators and Homeland Security agents seized nearly $800,000 worth of crystal methamphetamine during an investigation into a Mexican-based drug trafficking organization, according to the Iredell County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies said 25-year-old Daniel Gallardo, of Salt Lake City, Utah, was charged with felony trafficking methamphetamine by possession and felony trafficking methamphetamine by transportation.
Authorities said Gallardo's arrest was made as part of an ongoing joint investigation with Special Agents from Homeland Security Investigations Charlotte into a "Mexican Based Drug Trafficking Organization."
"This relationship has had a direct and positive impact in combating the narcotics trade within Iredell County and the Western District of North Carolina," said Sheriff Darren Campbell. "By stopping these drugs from getting into our communities, we have undoubtedly saved lives from potential overdoses, saved families who are not having to deal with domestic violence, and saved our community members from becoming victims of larcenies, breaking and entering and robberies which are committed by those who needed money to buy these drugs to support their habit."
Campbell said the region is only two or three days away from the Mexican border.
The value of the meth seized from Gallardo is estimated to be $794,899. He was issued a $750,000 secured bond.


So lately I've been going on tours in and around Los Angeles checking out street art courtesy of Cart Wheel Art Tours. On top of that, I've been doing my own walking around and finding my own way around. I've found a new passion in getting to know the city I've lived in and around my whole life through the hidden gems lurking around all over town.
It started when I went on this tour near Filipino Town in L.A. through Gabba Gallery, Cart Wheel Art Tours, and Atlas Obscura. The tour took us through several back alleys of a small section of that neighborhood and I fell in love!
All this time my passion for art was in paintings and going to gallery museums and exhibits. Who knew that there was this other type of art out there that couldn't be put anywhere but in the back alleys of the streets of Los Angeles.
It's one of my favorite ones. I also came across one of those wings that you stand in front of and it looks like you have wings. Totally cool! Yes I know, weird language for me. Now I'm on a mission to find the rest in LA.
By the way, I am having sooooo much fun with this, it's hard to put it down into words. I'm on an mission! This is just the beginning, until the next time.

President Biden addresses the nation to announce changes to COVID-19 plan; including more access to rapid tests, military help for hospitals
President Joe Biden addressed the nation on Tuesday afternoon, announcing changes to his winter COVID-19 plan in light of the Omicron variant causing a rapid surge in positive cases across the country. Among the changes the President noted were providing an additional 500 million rapid coronavirus tests for use across the country. Biden also detailed other changes, including new testing sites, greater support for overloaded hospitals and more efforts for vaccination and booster doses.
Biden and his medical advisers have been monitoring the spread of the Omicron strain, which has quickly become the dominant variant nationwide. The mutation is responsible for almost 75% of all new cases across the United States. The President said: "I know you're tired. I really mean this, and I know you're frustrated. We all want this to be over. But we're still in it. And this is a critical moment. We also have more tools than we have ever had before. We're ready. We'll get through this."
A new website will make nearly 500 million COVID-19 rapid antigen tests available and delivered to homes free of charge for anyone who wants them. Biden also reinforced that his vaccine mandate has been reinstated by an appeals court. The rules require companies with more than 100 employees to require them to be vaccinated or conduct daily testing. "The rule is legal and effective, and it's going to save thousands of American lives," he said.
Biden said the the Defense Department is being directed to prepare an additional 1,000 military doctors, nurses, paramedics and other medical personnel to be deployed to hospitals in January and February in an effort to prevent hospitals from becoming overfilled.
