Blood Flow Restriction Courses
"The Smart Cuffs BFR certification course that Dr. Ed Le Cara put on in San Jose was fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable about the subject matter and was able to deliver the information in a way that the practitioners in the room could immediately apply. The content was a perfect blend of evidence with real world experience. The amount of information I was able to take away from a one day course was amazing and I highly recommend this course to people working in all areas of the human performance field."

Q: How can I map asynchronous operations to an ordered stream of data and obtain an identically-ordered result? I'm currently designing an application using the Twisted framework, and I've hit a bit of a roadblock in my planning.
Formal Description of the Problem
My application has the following constraints:

*

*Data arrive in-order, but asynchronously.  I cannot know when the next piece of my data will arrive

*The order in which data arrive must be preserved throughout the lifespan of the application process.

*Additional asynchronous operations must be mapped onto this "stream" of data.

The description of my problem may remind people of the Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) paradigm, and that's a fair comparison.  In fact, I think my problem is well-described in those terms and my question can be pretty accurately summarized thusly:  "How can I leverage Twisted in such a way as to reason in terms of data streams?"
More concretely, this is what I have figured out:

*

*A datum arrives and is unpacked into an instance of a custom class, henceforth referred to as "datum instance"

*The newly-arrived datum instance is appended to a collections.deque object, encapsulated by a custom Stream class.

*The Stream class exposes methods such as Stream.map that apply non-blocking computations asynchronously to:

*

*All elements already present in the Stream instance's deque.

*All future elements, as they arrive.

*Results of the operations performed in item 3 are appended to a new Stream object.  This is because it's important to preserve the original data, as it will often be necessary to map several callable's to a given stream.
At the risk of beating a dead horse, I want to insist upon the fact that the computations being mapped to a Stream instance are expected to return instances of Deferred.
The Question
Incidentally, this precisely where I'm stuck:  I can implement items 1, 2 & 3 quite trivially, but I'm struggling with how to handle populating the results Stream.  The difficulty stems from the fact that I have no guarantees of stream length, so it's completely possible for data to arrive while I'm waiting for some asynchronous operations to complete.  It's also entirely possible for async operation Oi to complete after Oi + n, so I can't just add deque.append as a callback.
So how should I approach this problem?  Is there some nifty, hidden feature of Twisted I have yet to discover?  Do any twisty-fingered developers have any ideas or patterns I could apply?

A: I don't know of any neat tricks that will help you with this.  I think you probably just have to implement the re-ordering (or order-maintaining, depending on how you look at it) logic in your Stream.map implementation.
If operation i + 1 completes before operation i then Stream.map will probably just have to hold on to that result until operation i completes.  Then it can add results i and i + 1 to the output Stream.
This suggests you may also want to support back-pressure on your input.  The re-ordering requirement means you have an extra buffer in your application.  You don't want to allow that buffer to grow without bounds so when it reaches some maximum size you probably want to tell whoever is sending you inputs that you can't keep up and they should back off.  The IProducer and IConsumer interfaces in Twisted are the standard way to do this now (though something called "tubes" has been in development for a while to replace these interfaces with something easier to use - but I won't suggest that you should hold your breath on that).

So I recently had my first all-inclusive holiday experience. I used to have a slightly negative view of package holidays as they had cheap and cheerful connotations. However, the Monte Carlo Sharm El Sheikh Hotel was anything but.
After a rather hectic time, hubby and I were determined to have a relaxing getaway. We'd done the city breaks (Paris, Rome, Hong Kong and Singapore), the adventure holidays (Iceland and Morocco) and the monument hunts (Cambodia), so a break doing not much at all was very welcome indeed.
I wasn't sure what to expect of Sharm El Sheikh as it was our first trip to Egypt, however, I have to say, based on the hospitality at the Monte Carlo Sharm El Sheikh Hotel, the service was up there with some of the best in Asia, though they didn't quite have the efficiency of their highly lauded eastern counterparts, at least on our first day.
Our hotel was about 20 minutes from the station, and a short cab ride from the main tourist areas of Soho Square and Narma Bay which had shops, restaurants and bars.
While I had slight reservations about visiting Sharm el Sheikh (the media has a habit of putting the fear factor into holiday goers, and at the time of writing, flights to the resort from the UK are still suspended) I was pleased to say that Sharm El Sheikh felt incredibly secure. Our resort, which was situated in its own gated community, had a government-run security checkpoint on arrival and our bags were scanned as we entered the hotel. This airport style security is commonplace throughout the whole area, and adds reassurance to any nervous guests.
well as the Royal Lounge. However, we were given two welcome drinks while we waited in both suites, and generously presented with a welcome plate of fruit and biscuits once in our room.
We were then given wristbands to wear which identified us as Royal guests, which we had to wear all week and they were cut off at the end. I thought this was quite strange, having to wear an ID band at all times. But then I realised that this was the norm in Sharm el Sheikh, as every holiday goer on every resort seemed to be sporting a different coloured band.
also available for an additional fee.
Oh and if you're feeling sporty, there's a tennis court, which I was tempted to use, but the desert heat made me decide otherwise.
So what did we get for going for the Royal Monte Carlo Sharm El Sheikh Hotel option?
room. As part of the Royal concept, staff at the lounge would also book your restaurant reservations for the evening, in any one of the five on-site restaurants serving different cuisines.
In fact, the staff were as welcoming and as accommodating as could be. Poolside, we were offered welcome pancakes, staff would often come and offer us drinks and ensure that our every need was catered for. Another huge plus of the Royal experience was that we had a late checkout for free, whereas regular guests would have to pay extra. We've been in situations where we haven't had a late checkout, such as our stay at the Sirayane Hotel and Spa in Marrakech, and we had to hang around the main areas of the hotel like bad smells in the baking heat.
One point I have to make however, is that the food served up at the Royal lounge was a bit bland. I figured that in Sharm El Sheikh, they loved their mashed potato and sautéed carrots and cucumber, as that was on the menu every day, along with some beef and chicken. However, the concierge at the Royal lounge once asked my opinion of the food, and when I suggested they cook the potatoes another way, the very next day we were served with potato wedges. Now that is speedy service.
Now, being a natural foodie, there is no way that this review can go without a mention of what we ate. And I'm sorry to say, it wasn't that great. But I don't think that this is necessarily a criticism of the Royal Monte Carlo Sharm El Sheikh Hotel in particular, it's just that the food in Egypt wasn't my cup of tea.
Being brought up on flavour and spice, Egyptian food is just too bland for my liking. There were five restaurants on site, each serving different cuisine. On our first night, we went to the Italian, as it had rave reviews. I ordered a soup, which was good, followed by a beef carpaccio, which I then learnt was raw meat. Oh dear.
I then opted for a safer version of lasagne, which you can't really get wrong, can you? Well, it turns out you can. Beautifully presented, the lasagne meat lacked salt, garlic, tomatoes, pepper, or any other flavour. In fact it looked and tasted like boiled mince.
The following night we ventured into the Lebanese restaurant, which was better, though the skewered meats were cooked to crisps. We also tried the Indian restaurant, which was better, perhaps because Indian cuisine dictates that you must have some flavour.
Though it wasn't all bad, we ended up trotting to the beach hut to have chips and burgers, which you really can't go wrong with.
To be fair, I think that the resort was catering to its largest customer base of Russians, who make up for around 85% of their guests. This is true across all of Sharm El Sheikh, so I imagine that the food would have been similar had we stayed elsewhere.
So it wasn't the foodie holiday I had hoped. But nonetheless, the Monte Carlo Sharm El Sheikh Hotel gave us the R&R we desperately needed, and we got to mix up the break with an excursion to Cairo, which you can read all about here.

Q: cssHooks: multiple CSS selectors in one function I have this function using cssHooks to convert the background-color's rgb color to a HEX value. My question is this, I also want to do it the border-color and text color. Do I need to create 3 separate functions or can I combine?
EDIT: So here's 3 functions. I'm having a hard time trying to combine all three into one - to make the code cleaner. How can I combine all 3 into one hook?
$.cssHooks.backgroundColor = {
get: function(elem) {
    if (elem.currentStyle)
        var bg = elem.currentStyle["background-color"];
    else if (window.getComputedStyle)
        var bg = document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(elem,
            null).getPropertyValue("background-color");
    if (bg.search("rgb") == -1)
        return bg;
    else {
        bg = bg.match(/^rgb\((\d+),\s*(\d+),\s*(\d+)\)$/);
        function hex(x) {
            return ("0" + parseInt(x).toString(16)).slice(-2);
        }
        return "#" + hex(bg[1]) + hex(bg[2]) + hex(bg[3]);
    }
}
}

$.cssHooks.borderColor = {
get: function(elem) {
    if (elem.currentStyle)
        var bg = elem.currentStyle["border-color"];
    else if (window.getComputedStyle)
        var bg = document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(elem,
            null).getPropertyValue("border-color");
    if (bg.search("rgb") == -1)
        return bg;
    else {
        bg = bg.match(/^rgb\((\d+),\s*(\d+),\s*(\d+)\)$/);
        function hex(x) {
            return ("0" + parseInt(x).toString(16)).slice(-2);
        }
        return "#" + hex(bg[1]) + hex(bg[2]) + hex(bg[3]);
    }
}
}

$.cssHooks.color = {
get: function(elem) {
    if (elem.currentStyle)
        var bg = elem.currentStyle["color"];
    else if (window.getComputedStyle)
        var bg = document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(elem,
            null).getPropertyValue("color");
    if (bg.search("rgb") == -1)
        return bg;
    else {
        bg = bg.match(/^rgb\((\d+),\s*(\d+),\s*(\d+)\)$/);
        function hex(x) {
            return ("0" + parseInt(x).toString(16)).slice(-2);
        }
        return "#" + hex(bg[1]) + hex(bg[2]) + hex(bg[3]);
    }
}
}

A: This changes ALL values inputs...not just individual CSS selectors...
$.cssHooks.colorz = {
get: function(elem, rule) {
if (elem.currentStyle)
    var bg = elem.currentStyle[rule];
else if (window.getComputedStyle)
    var bg = document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(elem,
        null).getPropertyValue(rule);
if (bg.search("rgb") == -1)
    return bg;
else {
    bg = bg.match(/^rgb\((\d+),\s*(\d+),\s*(\d+)\)$/);
    function hex(x) {
        return ("0" + parseInt(x).toString(16)).slice(-2);
    }
    return "#" + hex(bg[1]) + hex(bg[2]) + hex(bg[3]);
}
}
}

A: You can do it like this:
    function _register_jquery_get_hex_color(newname,styleattr) {
    $.cssHooks[newname] = {
        get: function(elem) {
            if (elem.currentStyle)
                var bg = elem.currentStyle[styleattr];
            else if (window.getComputedStyle)
                var bg = document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(elem,
                    null).getPropertyValue(styleattr);
            if (bg.search("rgb") == -1)
                return bg;
            else {
                bg = bg.match(/^rgb\((\d+),\s*(\d+),\s*(\d+)\)$/);
                function hex(x) {
                    return ("0" + parseInt(x).toString(16)).slice(-2);
                }
                return hex(bg[1]) + hex(bg[2]) + hex(bg[3]);
            }
        }
    }
}
_register_jquery_get_hex_color("backgroundColor","background-color");
_register_jquery_get_hex_color("borderColor","border-color");
_register_jquery_get_hex_color("color","color");

Q: How to store a word list for that also allows for easy editing? What is the best way to store a word list on android that can easily be edited on something like excel. I tried a xml but when I say the xml in excel and then open it in a text editor the save doesnt take. Im new to android and could use some pointers in the right direction.

A: export it into a .csv file (comma separated)
for example
for(int i = 0; i < yourList.size(); i++){
     outputFile.write(yourList.get(i) + ",");
}

and make sure the extension of the output file is .csv

Diamond, Sapphire, 14k Pendant 12922-8071
This elegant Contemporary pendant features an oval-shaped ±0.90ct Sapphire as the centerpiece, surrounded by a halo of ±0.35ct Brilliant-Cut Diamonds with a clarity rating of SI1 and a color grade of H. The pendant is crafted in a two-tone yellow and white 14k gold setting.
Details: ±0.90ct sapphire, ±0.35ct (H SI1) brilliant-cut diamonds, 14k Pendant.
Dimensions: 16 x 9 mm.
Condition: New.
Contemporary jewellery is a type of jewellery that reflects current trends and styles, and is often made from a variety of materials beyond the traditional precious metals and stones. This allows contemporary jewellery to have a more modern and unique appearance compared to classic jewellery. To create contemporary jewellery, it is necessary to have both specialized training and a deep understanding of the subject. The contemporary style combines historical techniques and artistic expression with innovative ideas and materials, giving it a distinct personality that falls between fashionable mass-produced jewellery and traditional artisanal works of art.
brilliant-cut diamond
The round brilliant cut is a type of diamond cut that was developed in the early 1900s and is now the most popular and widely used diamond cut. It is characterized by a circular girdle and 58 facets, which are small, flat surfaces that are cut into the diamond to create a specific shape and enhance its sparkle and brilliance. Unlike the old European cut, the round brilliant cut does not have a culet (the bottom edge of the diamond).
The round brilliant cut was designed to maximize the fire and brilliance of a diamond, and it has become the standard cut for diamonds. It is known for its bright, sparkling appearance and is often used in engagement rings and other high-end jewelry. The round brilliant cut became prevalent during the Art Deco and Retro periods and is still widely used today.
Round brilliant cut diamonds are typically more expensive than diamonds with other cuts because they require more labor and material to produce. However, they are considered the highest quality and most desirable type of diamond cut, and they are a popular choice for those who want the highest level of sparkle and brilliance in their jewelry.
14k gold is a popular choice for use in jewelry because it is durable, yet still relatively affordable compared to higher karat golds like 18k or 24k. It is made up of 58.5% pure gold and is mixed with other metals to make it harder and more durable. 14k gold is available in a range of colors, including yellow, white, and rose, and is commonly used in a variety of jewelry pieces such as rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. One of the advantages of 14k gold is that it is more resistant to wear and tear than pure gold, which makes it suitable for everyday wear. However, it is still softer than other alloys such as stainless steel or platinum, so it may require more maintenance to keep it looking its best. Overall, 14k gold is a popular choice for those who want the look and feel of gold, but at a more affordable price point.

Moment brave police tackle crazed knifeman seconds after frenzied knife attack in street
Hoa Duc Nguyen sentenced to 20 months in prison after he stabbed a 25-year-old man in the chest before cops intervene and Taser him
Kara O'Neill
This is the shocking moment a knifeman is Tasered by police moments after he stabbed his victim in the chest.
Kingston Police have released the CCTV footage after Hoa Duc Nguyen was sentenced to 20 months in prison.
He pleaded guilty to Grievous Bodily Harm and possession of a bladed article at Kingston Crown Court on August 5, 2016.
Police responded to the scene in Victoria Road, Surbiton after receiving a call about a 25-year-old man who had been stabbed in the chest and was being chased by a knifeman.

In the clip, officers are seen surrounding the 39-year-old madman and holding out a Taser.
Nguyen holds out the knife in his hand, refusing to listen to instructions from police to drop his weapon.

It is at this point the PC Cougar fires the Taser at the suspect, although reports suggest the connection failed and it did not have the required effect.
PC Shearing then fires a Taser from a different angle causing the suspect to drop to the floor.

PC Paolo Resteghini said: "I would like to praise the bravery of the victim, he defended himself from the attacker and despite being injured ran away. A decision that I believe saved him from further injury.

"During the investigation he was able to provide me with outstanding evidence which I have no doubt led to Hoa Duc pleading guilty at the earliest opportunity.
"I would also like to praise the bravery of my response team colleagues, they went into danger and were able to detain the suspect before any further incidents took place."

Transfusion-Associated Malaria
To the Editor: A recent article by Zucker (1) described two cases of malaria that were probably transfusion associated. A case of transfusion-associated malaria in which the source was identified was reported in San Francisco in 1991. The case was in an elderly man in whom malaria infection developed after coronary bypass surgery.
The patient was born in China and immigrated to the United States in 1940. His only travel outside the United States was a trip to Hong Kong in 1951 for 6 months. The patient's wife was born in China and had malaria in 1941 during World War II. She received no treatment at that time or at any other time. She came to the United States in 1960 and has not left the country since.
The patient had six donors, five of whom had no history of malaria, and had negative serologic test results for all four malaria species. Both the patient and his wife had blood smears positive for P. malariae. The patient's wife had positive serologic test results for P. vivax and P. ovale (1:64), for P. falciparum (1:258), and for P. malariae (1:1024).

Q: XSLT: Create new tags around other tags Can I use XSLT to transform the following XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Root>

The chemical formula for water is H2O. The rest of this paragraph is not relevant.

Another paragraph without subscripts.

</Root>

to this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Root>

<text>The chemical formula for water is H</text>2<text>O. The rest of this paragraph is not relevant.</text>

Another paragraph without subscripts.

</Root>

i.e. wrap the different parts of a p element that contains sub elements into text elements?
This is my XSLT so far:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="Root|p">
    <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="p[child::*[name()='sub']]">
    <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:element name="text">
            <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
            <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </xsl:element>
    </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="sub">
    <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

but that wraps the whole paragraph into a <text> element and doesn't divide it at the 2. How can I make it do what I want?

A little background information, if you're interested: I want to import the XML into Adobe InDesign, but if I only apply the character style sub to sub elements, the second half of the paragraph (starting at the O) will still be in subscript. I have to wrap the other bits in <text> in order for the formatting to be correct.

A: Match on the text nodes:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="text()[following-sibling::node()[1][self::sub]]
                     | text()[preceding-sibling::node()[1][self::sub]]">
  <text>
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </text>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Of course if you don't want that behaviour for all text nodes then edit the match pattern to say e.g. match="p/text()[following-sibling::node()[1][self::sub]] | p/text()[preceding-sibling::node()[1][self::sub]]".


I really wouldn't recommend using Gistpost.win.
Look at their maximum withdrawals and minimum time between withdrawals, compared to the prices of the packages. That silver package of yours can only earn $4.75 per month and costs $1 to use. The risk is too high just to be able to earn maximum of $3.75 per month.
I can understand some variance but this is getting strange . has anyone else kept track of minutes ?
Fancitos.com cant loging all day, anyone have same issue?
I am a Silver member and now I'm going to upgrade to Gold and see how that goes.
I've currently got withdrawals pending with GetCashFree and MoneyMining. I'll let you know if I get paid.
That is really good! Signed up under you (hopefully that worked!).
Even if you aren't having trouble with monero miners, I'd recommend limiting it via BES anyway as it will reduce your power consumption - my laptop is absolutely silent now and I wasn't even aware it could get this quiet. It just shows how much I was wasting.
Hello! thank you for this... I signed under your referral. The surfebe extension is doing good so far.
I'll probably have to do some CPU limiting too, my laptop is silent but its rather concerning to see the CPU usage hover around 80% 24/7 with 4 autosurfers one.
Just made my first payment request at PaidForMining. So we should know if they are legit or not soon. I really hope that they are - Their free package is trash but their VIP one fairly decent. I would love to be able to upgrade with them.
Requested my payment today. Got PAID today.
This is the perfect companion program for your cash miners as it displays banners each time you refresh a page. Since the cash miners refresh every minute so a lot of banners get displayed.
My withdrawals from GetCashFree and MoneyMining are still pending but are still within the withdraw delay period. I'll let you know what develops.
Does anyone have any experience with Cashcreator.de ?
Thanks. I am also running it but I'm thinking of upgrading.
How close to payout are you?
From my own experience I can tell that GetCashFree pays in 5-7 days and if I remember right then MoneyMining pays out on Fridays.

Part 1: The invalid, unenforceable, and illegal drug laws need to end!
The following correspondence between the ONDCP (Office of National Drug Control Policy) and me is in response to removing cannabis from CSA (Controlled Substance Act) (http://tinyurl.com/23sh5ys). Please enjoy the direct avoidance that the ONDCP makes in the following e-mails.
Thank you for contacting ONDCP.
On April 20th, 2006, the FDA issued an advisory concluding that no
sound scientific studies have supported medical use of smoked
marijuana for treatment in the United States, and no animal or human
data support the safety or efficacy of smoked marijuana for general
medical use.
There are alternative FDA-approved medications in existence for
treatment of many of the proposed uses of smoked marijuana. For
example, a prescription drug, Marinol, is currently available to
anyone with a doctor's prescription. Marinol contains THC, the active
ingredient in marijuana, and has been approved for some of the same
uses as medicinal marijuana.

As a matter of fact I do have a couple of questions. First is the fact that the words "smoked marijuana" were used together quite frequently. Now smoked cannabis may not be accepted medically but how about ingested cannabis, such as pot brownies and cookies? Also if there is no accepted medicinal value on cannabis, which is a requirement for a schedule 1 controlled substance; then why does the US Department of Health and Human Services hold patent 6630507 titled "cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants" that reads as follows?:
"Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia."
This patent was obtained in October of 2003.
I look forward to your timely response!

Initial avoidance of my questions from the ONDCP:
Dear Mr. Crystal,
Marijuana is a dangerous drug and remains in Schedule I of the
Controlled Substances Act. The President opposes marijuana
legalization as does ONDCP Director Kerlikowske, who provides the
following information:
Marijuana Legalization: A Non-Starter
http://www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov/news/press09/marijuana_legalizatio
n.html
The following resource and Web site provide information about
marijuana and why it remains a controlled substance:

As a matter of fact I do still have a couple of questions, and they are the same questions you failed to answer in the prior e-mail. First is the fact that the words "smoked marijuana" were used together quite frequently. Now smoked cannabis may not be accepted medically but how about cannabis ingested through brownies and cookies, or for that matter how about vaporized cannabis? Also if there is no accepted medicinal value on cannabis, which is a requirement for a schedule 1 controlled substance; then why does the US Department of Health and Human Services hold patent 6630507 titled "cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants" that reads as follows?:
I look forward to your timely response and actually receiving an answer to my questions!
More avoidance from the ONDCP and the final correspondence:
What constitutes safe and effective medicine should continue to be
based upon reviews of the appropriate science by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA). Medical evidence does not support the efficacy
of smoked marijuana for medical purposes. ONDCP will continue to work
closely with other stakeholders to review law, science, and medicine
to refine the Administration's marijuana enforcement policy.
Following is some specific information and resources concerning
medical marijuana:

My last two e-mails to the ONDCP have been waiting for a response for over a week:
You have completely avoided answering my questions yet again with this pish posh nonsense on "smoked marijuana." Now smoked cannabis may not have medical value, but how about cannabis ingested through brownies and cookies, or for that matter vaporized cannabis? If there is no accepted medicinal value on cannabis, which is a requirement for a schedule 1 controlled substance; then why does the US Department of Health and Human Services hold patent 6630507 titled "cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants" that reads as follows?:
Also under this fact of medical value; Why does the AMA (American Medical Association) and the ACP (American College of Physicians) accept medicinal value on cannabis? In fact the AMA has more than 7000 physicians that have accepted the use of cannabis for more than 400,000 patients.
If the ONDCP wants to avoid my first two questions yet again then here are some new questions. Under the Severability clause in the controlled substances act the drug laws should be abolished or changed. In a major, broad-ranging report released Thursday, the Associated Press declared that "After 40 years, $1 Trillion, US War on Drugs has failed to meet any of its goals." The report notes that after four decades of prohibitionist drug enforcement, "Drug use is rampant and violence is even more brutal and widespread." The AP even got drug czar Gil Kerlikowske to agree. "In the grand scheme, it has not been successful," Kerlikowske said. "Forty years later, the concern about drugs and drug problems is, if anything, magnified, intensified." This should cause the following to become in effect:
TITLE 21 - FOOD AND DRUGS
CHAPTER 13 - DRUG ABUSE PREVENTION AND CONTROL
SUBCHAPTER I - CONTROL AND ENFORCEMENT
Pub. L. 106-310, div. B, title XXXVI, Sec. 3673, Oct. 17, 2000, 114 Stat. 1246, provided that: ''Any provision of this title (see Short Title of 2000 Amendments) held to be invalid or unenforceable by its terms, or as applied to any person or circumstance, shall be construed as to give the maximum effect permitted by law, unless such provision is held to be utterly invalid or unenforceable, in which event such provision shall be severed from this title and shall not affect the applicability of the remainder of this title, or of such provision, to other persons not similarly situated or to other, dissimilar circumstances.''
Why has this not been upheld, and why can't the ONDCP give me an honest answer to any of my questions? Is it because of the following text that basically requires lies to the citizens of America about these schedule 1 controlled substances?
According to Title VII Office of National Drug Control Policy Reauthorization Act of 1998:
Responsibilities: The Director "Drug Czar"
(12) shall ensure that no Federal funds appropriated to the Office of National Drug Control Policy shall be expended for any study or contract relating to the legalization (for a medical use or any other use) of a substance listed in schedule I of section 202 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 812) and take such actions as necessary to oppose any attempt to legalize the use of a substance (in any form) that--
(A) is listed in schedule I of section 202 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 812); and
(B) has not been approved for use for medical purposes by the Food and Drug Administration;
I look forward to your timely response, and hope that the ONDCP realizes that there's people that are smarter than them.
You failed to reply to my prior e-mail which will be included in this; however it will be revised once again. I presume the reasoning for not replying back to me is because the ONDCP knows the laws are wrong, doesn't want to change the laws, and doesn't want to say anything that could cause the laws to be changed. That would also explain the direct avoidance of questions that I've had, and the fact that these laws on cannabis are invalid. Every which way you look at it the cannabis laws should be abolished. There's accepted medicinal value in not 1 but 2 patents held by the Dept. of Health and Human Services. The drug war has been admitted as a failure by many politicians and law enforcement agencies including our current Drug Czar Gil Kerlikowske. This should enforce the severability clause of the Controlled Substances Act. Prohibition of cannabis began because of yellow journalism winning over medical science in a case of who's got more money! Why does the ONDCP continue to avoid me...are you scared?
Previous e-mail revised:
Smoked cannabis may not have medical value, but how about cannabis ingested through brownies and cookies, or for that matter vaporized cannabis? If there is no accepted medicinal value on cannabis, which is a requirement for a schedule 1 controlled substance; then why does the US Department of Health and Human Services hold US Patent 6630507 titled "cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants" that reads as follows?:
There is also US Patent 7109245 that was issued September 19, 2006 titled "Vasoconstrictor cannabinoid analogs"
The patent discloses that:
"The present disclosure concerns pharmaceutical compounds and compositions that are useful as vasoconstrictors, and the use of these compounds, for example in the treatment of shock. Septic shock is a type of vasodilatory shock that is often accompanied by a clinical presentation that suggests infection, such as fever, chills, warm, flushed skin, and hemodynamic instability (characterized by a falling and rising blood pressure). Septic shock is an often fatal condition that accompanies severe microbial infections, frequently with gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella or Bacteroides species. Gram-positive bacterialinfections can also lead to septic shock, particularly those infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus and the Pneumococcus. The bacterial infections can be acquired by routes such as ingestion, personal contact, or trauma, but infections are oftennosocornial consequences of therapeutic procedures, including implantation of indwelling catheters or prosthetic devices. Septic shock often occurs in immunocompromised subjects, and therefore has been an increasing problem in recent years because of the increasing number of individuals who are immunocompromised. For example, subjects with HIV disease or who are taking immunosuppressive drugs for the treatment of cancer or organ transplantation rejection are at increased risk of developing septic shock. In view of the above, there exists a need for agents that counteract the vasodilation associated with shock.
The present inventors (George Kunos and Raj K. Razdan) have demonstrated that abnormal cannabidiol (Abn-cbd) is a selective agonist and cannabidiol is a selective antagonist of an as yet unidentified cannabinoid-like or non-classical receptor distinct from the known cannabinoidreceptors CB1 and CB2. Agonists of these receptors, such as Abn-cbd, are believed to cause vasodilation. Even cannabidiol itself, which is generally an antagonist of the putative receptor, has been found to cause some vasodilation, and it therefore acts as a partial agonist, or mixed agonist/antagonist. It would therefore be desirable to have an agent that acts as a pure, or substantially pure, antagonist at the CB1-like receptor. Such an agent would be particularly useful in the treatment of diseases in which hypotension is the result of the action of endogenous cannabinoids and drug-induced vasoconstriction is desirable, for example in hypotensive states, such as shock. The antagonist would have particular application in vasodilatory shock states, such as septic shock, but it could also be used to achieve selective hemostasis to stop bleeding induced by trauma or surgery."
Also under this fact of medical value; Why does the AMA (American Medical Association) and the ACP (American College of Physicians) accept medicinal value on cannabis? In fact the AMA has more than 7000 physicians that have accepted theuse of cannabis for more than 400,000 patients.
Why has this not been upheld, and why can't the ONDCP give me an honest answer to any of my questions? Is it because of the following text that basically requires lies to the citizens of America about these shedule 1 controlled substances?
I look forward to your timely response, and hope for the sake of my fellow Americans; the hard working, non-violent, taxpaying citizens that on a daily basis are having their lives destroyed, careers ended, and families' torn apart; that the ONDCP realizes there wrongs and takes any and all means necessary to correct them. It's not a war on drugs; it's an unnecessary evil that are government has forced upon us called prohibition. God didn't put us on this Earth with the prohibition of this plant so why is the ONDCP enforcing this?
I have all the information required for the drug wars to be abolished by law, without law change. The government has held us to the lies of prohibition by creating rules such as the responsibilities of the drug czar. Our government has used the drug laws to for property rights infringements. Let's hold these people that have enforced these laws responsible by law. I am not going to post this additional information in the same post please watch for it!
Part 2 will be posted very soon!


Truly, I never decorate for this holiday or buy a new outfit to wear or even want to celebrate it at all. This year, however, I have had a ton of fun decorating our master bedroom with this simple and romantic string light and velvet heart garland combo, and I have gone add-to-cart crazy with so many V-Day outfit options (90-percent of which I never ordered — raise your hand if you do the same thing).
I did find some pajamas at LOFT that I simply could not pass up, though.
This post contains LOFT affiliate links. When you shop using my links I receive a small commission that allows me to keep talking about things I love on the blog. As always, thank you for your support when shopping through Dammit, Hali. All opinions expressed are my own.
I have been wanting to overhaul my PJ drawer for quite some time now since almost all of my jammies are years old, and when I saw this adorable striped set on the LOFT website, I knew they were the perfect way to begin my pajama upgrade.
Don't get me wrong, I love my old pajamas. They are comfortable and serve their purpose, but I am at a stage in my life where I want to invest in sleepwear that looks pretty and also makes me feel pretty. It's important to me. And as I type that out, it sounds silly, but crisp, clean matching pajamas make me feel like a better version of myself when I go to bed each night. Plus, I want to put a little more effort into my sleepwear for my husband — to be clear, he has never complained about what I wear to bed. PJs are what he sees me in most of the time because I change into them as soon as I get home from work every day and on the weekends I wear them until almost noon. I just feel … blah … when I'm bopping around the house in the same plaid pajama pants I've been wearing since 2014 with whatever T-shirt happens to be clean.
OK, back to this cute jammie set.
I have never actually owned a matching pajama set like this one and it made me feel so good to splurge on it for myself.
I did get the set on sale and noticed it has stayed on sale (30-50 percent off) since I purchased it.
The button-front top and drawstring shorts fit true-to-size (I ordered my regular medium) and are incredibly comfy. Plus, the shorts have an elastic waistband for extra stretch.
I was concerned this set would be stiff, but it is not all. And sleeping in the collared top didn't bother me one bit (something else I thought I might have an issue with).
The arm holes of the top are oversized and the pocket on the front adds the sweetest touch.
And for all my mama friends out there, the top is completely nursing friendly.
I love how dainty and feminine the stripes are, too. Plus, because it is a shorts and short-sleeve set, these PJs will be perfect for spring and summer. They aren't thick and bulky, so they will transition well as we anticipate warmer evenings ahead.
The fun thing is I get to wear them to our Valentine's Day dinner!
That's right — I am wearing my jammie jams to dinner.
Three years ago Justin and I started a Valentine's Day tradition of cooking a beautiful meal at home and eating in our pajamas. Each year he makes bacon-wrapped scallops and they are absolutely delectable. This man knows his way around the kitchen, I tell ya.
Fuzzy pink slippers are from LOFT, too!
The first year we did this it was out of necessity. We didn't have money to spend on dinner out for Valentine's Day, so Justin cooked a special meal for us to enjoy at home. It was so fun to just stay home, have a glass of wine, and eat together in our pajamas that we decided to do it the next year. And then it became our little tradition. If you know me, you know I love traditions.
Therefore, I decided to spring for some new PJs this year for our at-home Valentine's date.
I hope you all enjoy these pajamas as much as I have. Sending you much love this Valentine's Day!
Love the pajamas + always love your home decor! Your house is seriously goals!
Awwww thank you! That coffee mug you included in your post this morning is making me laugh so hard!

Editorial on Ortega's Assault on Journalists in Nicaragua
We are not what we have, we are what we love.
The attacks against Confidencial are attacks against all independent Latin America journalism
By El Faro* (An award-winning publication from El Salvador)
HAVANA TIMES – Censorship leaves citizens blind and at the mercy of their rulers. The recent assaults of President Daniel Ortega against the communications media represented by Confidencial and Esta Semana are a deliberate attack on freedom of the press and freedom of expression.
As editor and director Carlos Fernando Chamorro has so aptly said, these attacks are aimed not only at the journalists whose editorial offices are today occupied by armed police, but against the Nicaraguan citizens and their constitutional right to information, opinion and freedom of expression.
There's no legal order to back the confiscation of the journalism equipment nor the occupation of the offices of these media outlets. It's an arbitrary and illegal act that parallels the closure of a number of NGOs, all organizations that had carried out the work of accompanying the victims of the current crisis and the members of civil society. It is, then, an act aimed at silencing and repressing all criticism against the Ortega regime.
The fact that the NGOs have been closed by a legislative decree and then occupied by order of the Interior Ministry testifies to an action orchestrated by three state powers, all under Ortega's control.
Further, the fact that not even a judicial order or legal justifications was required to take over the editorial offices of Confidencial and Esta Semana speaks for itself; these are actions characteristic of a dictatorship, whose closest precedent in Nicaragua can be found only in the times of Anastasio Somoza.
The current crisis in Nicaragua that began exactly eight months ago with a student protest, revealed the true face of a dictatorship disguised as populist and democratic. These last events only serve to confirm its dictatorial character.
In Ortega's Nicaragua, all power is concentrated in himself and his wife. Their will is law. Under these conditions, the work of Chamorro and of the journalists and workers at Confidencial and Esta Semana, and of the few independent media outlets that still survive in the country becomes more important, more admirable, and more heroic.
Confidencial has been a media ally of El Faro for many years. We are proud to walk by the side of that committed, authentic and valiant editorial body.
We condemn in the most energetic terms the attack against Confidencial and Esta Semana, and we demand of the Ortega regime an immediate withdrawal from their offices and the return of the equipment seized. We affirm our support and admiration for our Nicaraguan colleagues and declare ourselves in complete solidarity with their situation.
Criticism, demands for accountability and questioning of power are the essential functions of honest journalism. The attacks against ConfidencialI are attacks against all independent Latin American journalism.

Jennifer was lovely to work with! From the moment we met her, we felt her passion for capturing LOVE through a camera lens. She does amazing work and is comfortable to work with which is so important when you are taking pictures of your special day. She was able to capture the true personalities of each of us and emotion on the day of the wedding. Her service after the wedding was amazing as well, within two weeks (of both engagement and wedding day) we received our photographs. I would highly recommend Jennifer Mooney Photography.
"We chose to elope to Glacier National Park to be married in the "Swiss Alps of North America", that is, Many Glacier. Initially, we knew that we wanted to be married in a mountain landscape. We spent some time researching mountain elopements and came across a plethora of amazing wedding photos in out-of-this-world scenery, all from the same individual. We were able to track down the photographer of these insanely beautiful photos and before we knew it, we were planning our Glacier National Park elopement with the incredibly talented Jennifer Mooney Photography.
Not only was she our photographer, Jennifer assisted with every step of the process: from the ceremony location, officiant, floral and hair services, hotels, restaurants, and many other aspects. When it came to working with Jennifer, she made the experience priceless, effortless, and genuinely fun! Her extensive knowledge of Glacier eased all of our anxieties of venturing in unfamiliar territory.

The UK is a country that has become multicultural with a vengeance thanks to its ever-expanding population of migrants. It is no wonder to find Chinese, African, Indian, Arabs and Nordics crowd together, searching the exotic food section in the ethnic food stores.
Sure, having a bowl of hot and fiery pepper soup may ignite your taste buds and enliven them once in a while but it comes with a taste of home for the Nigerians who are compelled to live in a far-off land for various reasons. Worse, you may just have to do with a bagful of potato crisps when your heart is yearning for the crunchy toasted coconut chips.
Olu Olu Foods has come to recognize the need for good and familiar food that makes the African Diaspora desperate for a hearty dish cooked in the conventional style too. True, not every dish of Nigerian origin can be sumptuous and delicious but it certainly keeps the memories alive. So, do not pine for the hearth that you left long ago, go out and hit the nearest Africa Food Store instead and look for the Olu Olu Brand. You are sure to come across the food and ingredients that you miss the most.
Be sure to buy enough to sustain you for a week before setting step into another store. Why don't you buy plantain chips online instead? Keep munching as you run your eyes over the labels.
How to Buy Olu Olu Products?
You may come across a small packet containing the Olu Olu brand of organic coconut chips when out on a shopping spree. Do not be saddened by the small number of chips contained in it though. Look around for a bigger bag and you are likely to find it before long. Yes! You miss them and cannot do without the crunch and aromatic taste of the beautifully fried coconut crisps.
So go ahead and buy coconut chips online morning, noon or night for hunger pangs do not wait for the sunrise. No! Have no fear of putting on weight while munching on this compulsive snack item either. The dietary fiber within it will keep you full while its iron content will have you energized and raring to go.
Why be miserable and continue to miss your kind of food. Visit https://www.oluolufoods.com ASAP and pick up the food products that you fancy along with some red palm oil.

Chicago man charged with armed robbery in Orland Park, police say
By Mike Nolan
Daily Southtown |
Cardius Kent, of Chicago, has been arrested and charged in connection with an armed robbery in Orland Park, according to police. (Orland Park police)
A Chicago man was charged with robbing a retail store employee in Orland Park, police said.
Cardius L. Kent, 25, of the 100 block of West 104th Place, was arrested Thursday afternoon in Lansing, Orland Park Police said in a news release.
Just before 9:30 a.m. that day, Orland Park police responded to a report of an armed robbery at Once Upon a Child, in the 9500 block of 159th Street, according to the release.
Police learned a man approached a female employee of the resale shop in the parking lot of his business, placed his arm around her, then pulled out a gun and demanded money, police said. He took a bag containing sales proceeds of the store as well as the woman's wallet, then got in on the passenger side of a Chevrolet Camaro, which fled the parking lot, according to the release.
Using surveillance video, police were able to observe the license plate on the vehicle, which was determined to be a rental that had not been returned to the rental agency, police said.
With the help of Lansing police, the vehicle was spotted in the parking lot of a hotel in that suburb, and at some point after 1:30 p.m., Kent was observed by officers entering the car, according to the release. As police approached, Kent fled on foot but was later found hiding in a laundry closet of another nearby hotel, with police able to recover cash suspected to have come from the robbery, according to the release. Kent was scheduled to appear in bond court Saturday.

St. John's Lutheran Church is a member of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). This church body got its name because it was formed in Wisconsin in the 1850's. Our membership in this Synod unites us with Christians across our country and the world. It allows us to pool our resources for mission work as well as for writing hymnals, Bible classes, and other materials. But above all, we can be comforted by the fact that we know there are Christians throughout the world who share a common faith with us.
Our congregation and Synod are solidly based in the Bible. We believe that Jesus is our Savior and the only way to heaven. Through faith in Jesus we are united to him and each other.
The name "Lutheran" comes from the great reformer Martin Luther. In a period in history when the Church had lost sight of its Savior and the truth of his Word, Martin Luther boldly challenged these errors and preached Jesus Christ as Savior. We are proud to remember his work in bring to light the truth of God's Word by using his name to identify ourselves.
