Migration Needs "Policies of Life" Says Regional Jesuit Network
BY ISN STAFF | November 1, 2019
During their annual meeting, the Jesuit Migration Network of Central America and North America (RJM-CANA in Spanish) issued a public statement calling attention to the realities of migration facing people throughout the Americas. Disseminating the message from Tijuana, Mexico, currently, an epicenter for Central Americans seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border, the RJM-CANA meeting delegates called for regional governments to act with "justice, inclusion, and promotion of equity" for migrant people in mind.
The Jesuit Migration Network of Central America and North America took place in Tijuana, Mexico from October 28-31, 2019.
The Jesuit Migration Network of Central America is part of a larger network that serves all of Latin America and the Caribbean, seeking to provide effective, coordinated, and comprehensive assistance to migrants, displaced persons, and refugees from very diverse areas: pastoral, educational, social, research, etc. In the United States, participation comes from Jesuit universities, high schools, parishes, and social ministries.
The statement, originally published in Spanish can be found in English below.

EXPULSION POLICIES, WITHDRAWAL POLICIES; THE PARADOX OF THE POLICIES OF DEATH THAT TARGET FORCED MIGRATION
The organizations and individuals that make up the Jesuit Migrant Network for Central and North America have gathered in Tijuana to analyze the context of forced migration in the region and renew our commitment to migrants, refugees, and host communities.
Our decision to hold our annual meeting in Tijuana is not a coincidence. Tijuana is a land of refuge — for generations, it was and still is a place of transit, but also a point of departure and a point of arrival. Tijuana is an emblematic border space that has grown as a city open to change thanks to the richness of the diverse people who have converged here over the years. However, today, Tijuana as a border is also the ultimate expression of the paradox of displaced people, of migrants and people in need of international protection, the paradox of forced migration in the Americas: while they are expelled due to our States' policies, the policies in place in those same States prevent them from moving forward to lands of refuge and hope. Our way of relationships and society is traversed by policies of death.
EXPULSION POLICIES
It could be a young man from Honduras who knows that in his neighborhood he is more likely to be shot than to get a job. It could be a farming family from Guatemala that suffers threats for defending the river and opposing a mining company that pollutes it. It could be a student in Nicaragua who protests against the authoritarian regime and flees from political persecution. The fact that over 400,000 people in the Central American region flee their countries each year is the cruel reflection of the daily crises and the widespread violations of human rights that they suffer; it is a consequence of authoritarian public policies that impose development models which are responsible for exclusion and which cause inequalities and violence. It is a consequence of the environmental degradation of large extractive projects that affect the lives and decisions of communities in the lands that are being exploited.
There are 386,580 refugees and asylum seekers from the Northern Triangle, while the governments in those countries brag that they are safe and negotiate bilateral agreements that place many lives at risk. We hold that they are using migrants as currency in exchange for economic interests and the interests of the political and economic elite.
A bit over a year after the political crisis in Nicaragua, over 60,000 people have been forced to flee their country, most of them to Costa Rica. As a result of the policies of containment, detention, and expulsion implemented by governments in the region, over 200,000 children, young people, and adults have been forced to return to these contexts of death so far this year.
CONTAINMENT POLICIES
Border militarization. A quarter of a century ago, just miles from where we are gathered today, the US government began a new stage of border militarization through Operation Gatekeeper. Since then, death has become part of the border control strategy and over 8,000 people have died while attempting to cross Mexico's northern border. Similar deterring and repressive policies have now spread across the region. We condemn border control policies based on death. The deployment of the National Guard and other controls in southern Mexico have exposed migrants to more dangerous routes and has led them to death, such as the 2 people from Cameroon who died off the coast of Chiapas on October 11 this year.
Detention is another policy of death. About 50,000 people are detained right now in the United States, and 21 people have died in CBP or ICE custody since January 2019. In Mexico, 144,591 people had been detained until August, 43% more than in the same period the previous year. Detention as a policy of death has also cost lives in the midst of the torture that these places of deprivation of freedom represent for migrants in Mexico. These lives represent people fleeing life-or-death situations in their countries and deported individuals only seeking to reunite with their family members in the US.
The collapse of international protection. As detention and control efforts intensify, the chances to apply for protection are being increasingly diminished by the countries in the region. US-Mexico collaboration to implement the program known as "Remain in Mexico" has already exposed over 50,000 people to precarious situations in border cities such as Tijuana, and some were even returned to the southern Mexican border through deception. So far, there are 340 documented cases of assault, kidnapping, and violence suffered by people returned under this program, and 25% of people returned to Tijuana report being victims of threats or violence.
In Panama is one of the most difficult steps of border flows, where Haitian and Cuban migrants, extracontinental groups, and other South American migration flows all cross the Darien, where their lives are utterly exposed. There are many testimonies of people who have died and disappeared.
POLICIES OF LIFE
It could be the case that this young man, this student, this family, could make different decisions about which way to take, travel across other paths and reach different destinations. It could be the case if States adopted policies of life.
Policies of life are those that fight against the inequality, poverty and structural violence generated by these escapes. They are those that propose social transformation, justice, inclusion. They are those that foster sustainability and respect towards our shared home and all forms of life, accept cultural diversity and encourage dialogue and learning with minorities.
Policies of life are those that address the obstacles along the way, that promote protection during the journey, that supply whatever is necessary, especially for those who are most vulnerable. Policies of life are those that assign a radical meaning to borders, as spaces for exchange, knowledge and recognition, diversity, for coming together, for enormous richness.
Policies of life are those that make arrivals easier and provide a space for recovery after exhaustion and translate into opportunities for integration and shelter, policies of life are hospitality. Policies of life are those that view human rights not as an ambition but a premise, whether our decision is to stay, leave or settle.
As individuals and organizations with the Jesuit Migrant Network, we believe that the right to migrate is a human right that should be guaranteed by States, upheld by international organizations and expressed by effective policies focused on the individuals. We also believe that the states must guarantee the appropriation conditions so that migration is a choice and not a flight.
We see ourselves in the vision statement proposed by the Church and the leadership of Pope Francis for the year of 2019 and as such we affirm, "It is not just about migrants, but all of humanity."
Because in our network we stand with the individuals, those who fear for their lives, those who are prevented from living their lives in decent and fair conditions in their countries of origin, we walk alongside those who flee in their journey, and we embrace those in the destination who work for integration in spaces of coexistence and hospitality.
As such, as a Jesuit Migration Network:
We commit to strengthening our coordinated work of accompaniment, research and advocacy within ourselves and with other organizations and allied networks of the Church and of civil society, as that is the best way to walk with vulnerable, excluded, and exiled people in our region.
We demand that our states cease their expressions of hostility with which they receive migrants, the militarization of borders as an approach that run contrary to human rights and the cultivation of criminalization of migrants.
We demand that our states assure the protection of people, avoid re-victimizing and insure a good journey for those who are obligated to flee
We demand that our states contribute in establishing the truth about the phenomenon of forced migration, recognize the riches and contributions that migrants bring to communities of welcome and work towards hospitality, harmony and peace.
We demand that our states review their interests and their primary areas of complicity. That they work on national and regional plans of development based on loyal cooperation founded in justice, inclusion, and promotion of equity and care for our common home.
And as such we sign as those present in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico on October 31, 2019.

Did a CBS News reporter post false information about Hillary on Twitter?
Yesterday afternoon, Hannah Chanpong, a reporter for CBS News who has been assigned to cover the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign for the network, posted a tweet, which has since been deleted by Chanpong, tweeted that "sources inside (the Clinton campaign)" were claiming that there were "worries" that Hillary may "drop out" of the presidential race. A screengrab of the now-deleted tweet from Chanpong is available here:

Whether one is a small-time blogger who doesn't hide his or her political ideology from anyone or a journalist for a major news organization who tries to report the news and be as non-biased as possible, one thing is a constant: one is expected to be honest. It appears to me that, more than likely, A) either Chanpong was pulling "sources" out of her rear end or B) somebody within the Clinton campaign was not being honest towards Chanpong. I'm inclined to believe that the correct answer is more likely to be A) than B), but I'm not going to give a definitive answer.
I've never personally known Hillary, in fact, I've never met Hillary in person. However, Hillary has been in the national public eye for nearly my entire lifetime, and I have never known Hillary to be the kind of person to simply abandon something, whether it be a political campaign or anything else. Hillary would never, ever dedicate herself to something, only to turn around and abandon everything for no real reason.
At the very least, CBS should launch some kind of internal investigation to determine whether or not Hannah Chanpong was using her Twitter page to simply spread rumors. If she was simply spreading a rumor (which, at this time, can't be substantiated either way), then that's something that would be expected of a third-grader on an elementary school playground, not someone who works for a major news organization.

Q: Generic class inherit from Dictionary with Collection I have this custom Dictionary with Collection definition:
class CollectionDictionary<K, C, V> : Dictionary<K, C> where C : ICollection<V>, new()

and using it like this (e.g):
CollectionDictionary<Guid, HashSet<int>, int> sample;

but for me this double int seems awkward, is there a possibility to bypass this and only write:
CollectionDictionary<Guid, HashSet<int>> sample;

so that the compiler knows that V could only be an int?
EDIT:
I need the class to abstract this method
public void Add(K key, V value)
{
    if (!this.ContainsKey(key))
    {
        base.Add(key, new C());
    }
    this[key].Add(value);
}

A: You can do this
class CollectionDictionary<K, C> : Dictionary<K, ICollection<C>>

It removes the constraint you had that makes the ICollection have an empty constructor.
In order to be able to create new collections you could ask for a delegate that does that. But in your case I think your original solution would produce less boilerplate code.
// ctor
public CollectionDictionary(Func<ICollection<C>> collectionCreator)

// Create
base.Add(key, _collectionCreator());

// Init
new CollectionDictionary<Guid, int>(() => new HashSet<int>());

Slowthai drops 'MAZZA' featuring A$AP Rocky
Matt Ganfield
Northampton's finest has teamed up with the New York superstar on his latest release, having leaked a teaser of the track towards the end of 2020.
This new single sees the artist, born Tyron Frampton, leaning more heavily into his rap influences. MAZZA's lyrical content is more reflective and confessional than Slowthai's more irreverent past releases, with lines including "I never felt love before the drugs".
MAZZA is the latest cut from Slowthai's forthcoming album, TYRON, following the rapper's critically acclaimed debut Nothing Great About Britain; which received a Mercury nomination in 2019.
Slowthai announced his sophomore album alongside a message to fans:
"Thank you to all of you who have and continue to support me and my music up until now.
This album was created during a difficult time in my life, I am far from perfect but I've learnt a lot about myself whilst creating this album and I will continue to grow into a better person for myself and aim to be a reflection of what I want to see in this world.
I hope this album can be the light if you are in the dark, and to know you're not alone. It's ok to be yourself, fuck everything else. Learn, grow, aim to be better than you were yesterday.
Tyron will be out FEBRUARY 5th 2021
Love, Tyron"

Sherlock Made a Friend—Elementary: The Deductionist.
crime fiction, Elementary Season 1, review
Previously on Elementary: The Red Team.
Destined for self-annihilation? Let's see about that.
In comes Kathryn Drummond (played by Kati Matchett), profiler with the FBI, and old… friend of Sherlock's. Well, I say friend.
When on liaison with the Yard in London, Kathryn met Sherlock. Kathryn slept with Sherlock. Kathryn profiled Sherlock without his knowledge and under false pretences as to her observational skills. She managed to deceive him and then write a devastating assessment of the state of his mind and psyche.
Sherlock doesn't like her very much.
Since she correctly predicted his drug addiction, Sherlock is afraid that she was right about the rest of his potential fate: he's afraid that he will spiral out of control, that he will lose mastership of his life and, more importantly, his incredible intelligence. He's afraid that it will, in fact, drive him mad. He once told Joan that, once you start training in the art of deductive reasoning, you won't be able to stop. Once you see everything, you can't stop looking. His work continuously leads Sherlock into the backwaters of the human mind, the abyss that yawns beyond sanity and self-control. What if Sherlock's scared that he will plunge into his very own abyss?
Intellectually, he knows that his fate is his own to make; and that he would never destroy a family like that. As much as he needs to be right and can't stand it when he's not, he's willing to accept and admit mistakes. (That isn't to say that he might not threaten someone with false accusations to manipulate them—but he'd do it to serve the case and the victim, not purely himself.) And yet, he also knows that there are things you cannot control if you are caught in the progression of events, if you can't see what's going on with you. He's already lost sight of himself once, when he slid into the depths of his heroin addiction, who's to say he won't again, and on a much bigger scale? The answer is—
Joan. She tries to dispel Sherlock's doubts repeatedly, but it doesn't catch hold until she says something that sounds so simple, but carries the full weight of the change in Sherlock and Joan's relationship, and the decisions she's made lately. If Kathryn Drummond hadn't come along, if she hadn't learnt of the article, 'The Deductionist,' she wouldn't have told Sherlock this yet; but it was time.
You even made a friend, something that Kathryn claimed in her article was virtually impossible. (beat) Me. I'm talking about me.
She said that she stayed because she was worried—and she was. Just not only as a sober companion and a doctor, but as someone who has come to care for Sherlock the excited consulting detective puppy, not Sherlock the patient.
And both of them quite simply accept it.
After bringing her breakfast, Sherlock has now also taken to waking Joan and laying out her clothes for her (though maybe not the underpants, thanks, Sherlock), but it's not played for tension between the leads. Asking her if he should select her undergarments as well wasn't innuendo, just impatience. Setting up Sherlock as someone who does have sex to satisfy his body's needs works well to contrast his relationship with Joan with that. Otherwise, it could just be construed as Sherlock, as an asexual man, simply not being interested in anything that moves. But like this, we know he's perfectly capable of making advances when he wants; and Irene tells us that he does fall in love, though since he lost her it's unlikely that he will form romantic attachments of any sort soon, or possibly ever. Be that as it may: they're just not interested, because it's possible for a man and a woman to share space and have a close relationship and not want to jump each other's bones; and because that's not all female characters are there for.
For that exact reason, Joan doesn't need Sherlock's help sorting out her flat. She figures out what's really been going on and solves the situation to her own satisfaction and in no uncertain terms. There.
Plus, now she's got a new spatula, because Sherlock is her friend, too. And a toothbrush. Sherlock, what did you do?

On that fateful day, July 24, 2012, Ghanaians were hit with the shocking news of the death of our sitting President, Prof. John Evans Atta Mills. Prior to his demise, there were rumors of his health being in a deplorable state even though his team tried to dispel such rumors no matter how frail he looked. They even got him to jog on the tarmac at the airport from one of his trips abroad for a medical checkup, just to prove our President was "fit".
His death was an unfortunate loss to the entire nation and the first time a sitting President lost his life while still in power. As is the norm with Ghanaians, tongues started wagging, with people claiming he didn't die a natural death and was murdered in cold blood. Details of his autopsy report have been kept from the public and to date, no one is certain what really led to the death of Prof. Mills.
Well, except a certain Prophet known as Cosmos Walker, who claims the death was revealed to him in a prophecy on the morning it happened. According to him, he had a vision that the late President was going to be assassinated by a boxer. Why he had to wait till almost five years after the incident to come up with this "revelation", only he and his prophecy-revealing God know.
He claims he saw somebody walking down the corridor towards the office of the late President. He also claims he is well aware of the identity of the so-called person but will keep the name to himself. "I saw the person clear and I will not mention his name but he is a Ghanaian boxer. He was contracted to do so. The offer was huge but he had no choice than to do it", he explained.
He claimed that for almost a year prior to the unfortunate incident, he had a premonition the then President was going to be assassinated and he did his best to avert the calamity but unfortunately he wasn't able to. He noted that not all prophecies can be redeemed by a prophet no matter your level of anointing except through a multitude of prayers. He made these revelations in an interview on Kofi TV.
It is sad that anyone can come and claim to have information on who killed who or who is planning to kill who but the Police never invite them for thorough questioning to reveal the identities of these assassins. If God really decided to expose the identity of an assassin to you, it is only fair and righteous that you furnish the security agencies with this information so the appropriate action can be taken. That is, if they believe in the veracity of their own so-called prophecy.

Aussie cricket great presents alarming Justin Langer rumour
An Aussie Test great has passed on a rumour he says has been swirling around coach Justin Langer — and the real reason behind the Aussie mentor's shake-up.

Coach Ponting joins ranks

Aussie cricket great Geoff Lawson says he has heard rumours and speculation that Aussie coach Justin Langer wanted to remove bowling coach David Saker from his first day on the job.
The former Aussie paceman also shared some alarming speculation around the new direction of the Aussie coaching staff since Langer replaced former coach Darren Lehmann in the top mentoring role last year.
Lawson told Sky Sports Radio he has heard rumours former bowling coach David Saker may have initially refused a first request from Langer to vacate his position.
It didn't happen quickly," Lawson said of Saker's eventual decision to step down at the end of the Aussie summer.
"The rumour was as soon as Langer took over, he wanted Saker out. He asked for his resignation and didn't get it.
"The story was he (Saker) was asked for his resignation and he said, 'Na, I've got a contract, I'll be staying thank you very much'."
The former England bowling coach's decision to end his three-year position as a senior assistant in the Aussie cricket team's coaching set-up last week was followed by legend Ricky Ponting's unveiling as a part-time coach that will focus on Australia's ODI and Twenty20 batting heading into this year's ICC Cricket World Cup in England.
Former Aussie bowling coach Troy Cooley has returned to the team as Saker's replacement on a short-term role for the upcoming limited overs series against India and Pakistan.
However, Cricket Australia has said they are yet to make a decision about Saker's long-term replacement.

Lawson said there is speculation that the coaching shake-up under Langer is the result of the former Western Australian coach trying to promote his former deputy at the Warriors and current Tasmania coach Adam Griffith to the position of bowling coach.
"That was a theory going around," Lawson said.
"Saker is a guy who is going to stand up in the dressing room and says what he thinks and maybe Langer doesn't like that. Maybe he wants to be surrounded by yes men, but that's all speculation."
It comes after Lehmann on Monday said Langer and Saker did not have any form of falling out and were on good terms when Saker decided to walk away.
"I think they actually got on alright from what I understand," Lehmann told Macquarie Sports Radio.
"It's just a case of David having enough of all the travel and all of that. You're away 300 days of the year. They've decided just to move on and go in a different direction. I think it was pretty amicable to be fair.
"It's just part and parcel of professional sport. I think he's a really good bowling coach and I think he'll get snapped up by someone else."
Saker had been the national bowling coach since 2016.
He boasted plenty of knowledge about UK conditions, having previously worked as England's bowling coach before returning home to mentor Victoria.

But Langer was keen to bring in a fresh perspective for this year's marathon tour of England, during which Australia will defend both the World Cup and Ashes, and Saker accepted it was time to go.
"We shook hands and had a hug a day after the Test (in Canberra)," Langer said last week.
"We agreed it's the right time to head in a different direction in the best interests of the team.
"He and I have had a lot of conversations over the last six or nine months, so it's not really a surprise.
"In a perfect world it would have been cleaner maybe at the end of it, but the world's not always clean and works exactly as you want it to work. I'm all good with it."
Saker had previously spoken of his desire to be a potential successor to Darren Lehmann in 2017, when he filled in as head coach during a ODI tour of India. It's unclear how much Saker's relationship with his charges deteriorated this summer, if at all, but Mitchell Starc notably had credited NSW's bowling coach Andre Adams for helping to end his form slump.
Australia's fast bowlers had plenty of knockers during their Test series against India, while Saker was publicly critical of their approach at the SCG. Saker revealed during that match that "aggressive" and "animated" discussions took place behind closed doors.
"That's not like me usually ... I know I was not the only one. JL (Langer) wasn't happy. The bowlers know that," Saker said.
"The bowlers wanted one thing. Tim wanted one thing ... you could see there was some confusion."

When the Chinese philosopher Lao-tzu composed the Tao Te Ching, one of the foundational texts of Taoism, he wrote the now famous line, "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Where the cannabis plant is concerned, that first step is always a single seed: Every cannabis cultivar's journey begins in a tiny craft that whisks its genetic identity through time, space, and soil into the light of existence.
Where the cannabis experience is concerned THC was previously assumed to be the singular "seed" of the plant's famous effects. That misconception informed the approach taken by most cultivators, instilling in them (and by extension, most cannabis consumers) a myopic focus on "potency" gauged by THC concentration: As far as the general public was concerned, more THC meant "stronger" cannabis. As is generally the case, the truth is a bit less tidy but far more interesting.
Because cannabinoids are behind the desirable impacts of cannabis consumption, they are also the key target of extraction, the suite of physical and chemical processes used to separate those active ingredients from the inert plant matter and create concentrates.

This is the cannabinoid every cannabis consumer has heard of; for decades it was perceived as a solo act — the psychoactive compound of cannabis.
A similar early patient trial conducted at the University of New Mexico (2) found an even more dramatic difference in efficacy, deeming inhalation "far superior" to ingestion — over 90% of patients using inhaled cannabis experienced improvement in their condition, versus just under 60% who improved using oral ingestion.

While more double-blind studies and clinical research still needs to be done to further verify the scientific validity of the entourage effect, there is a deep catalog of established science on the matter, much of it pointing to real benefits from the combination of multiple cannabinoids and terpenes.
While there's no doubt that THC no longer enjoys solitary celebrity status, it's still a star player in the cannabis experience. If anything, high levels of THC are expected in buds or concentrates sold today, so it isn't as if consumers have lost their "taste" for THC, they've simply expanded their palate to include other offerings.
For a more detailed rundown of how to maximize the THC content of your buds, refer to my book Marijuana Harvest: Maximizing Quality and Yield in Your Cannabis Garden. The main trick is to select potent strains with high resin output and time your harvest based on the appearance of the resin glands — clear or milky, not yellow or amber, which indicates a late harvest and (usually) an undesirable concentration of cannabinol or CBN.

CBD was isolated in the early 1930s, but its structure was not discovered until 1963. Dr. Mechoulam actually synthesized CBD a year before his work with THC. In fact, he isolated THC from CBD isolate. But despite that, CBD is still the new kid on the block when it comes to popular cannabis medicine. Once a little known member of THC's entourage, CBD now commands a massive presence, inspiring CBD only decriminalization bills, as well as a booming retail industry of CBD-only products.
Although CBD is often referred to in popular media and marketing materials as "non-psychoactive," this is a bit of a misnomer. While it's true that CBD is more or less non-intoxicating and will not get you "high" in the same way THC does, it crosses the blood-brain barrier and has some pronounced pharmacological impacts on anxiety, addiction and other mental illnesses, including schizophrenia and depression.

One unique study discussed the effects of CBD on social anxiety in people and the underlying neural processes associated with it. Patients were either given an oral dose of CBD or a placebo. The study focused illustrated that CBD indeed reduced social anxiety.
As cannabis becomes legalized in more states, additional studies will bolster the existing research showing that CBD can remove the anxiety, physical response, and fear of illnesses like PTSD.

CBD has powerful anxiolytic effects that improves sleep biomarkers (including onset) helping sleep patterns reset. According to a Brazilian case study, the administration of CBD was associated with significantly decreased anxiety and increased mental sedation. So, if anxiety and stress is the cause of sleeping issues, CBD can help break that cycle, allowing for more natural sleep patterns.
Another study suggests that CBD attaches to the endocannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 within the body which work in tandem to maintain homeostasis. It found that arthritis sufferers have a higher concentration of C2 receptors in their joints, and when CBD interacted with those receptors, promoting analgesia in the affected area.
CBD also allows those who wake up in the middle of the night to stay asleep. One study showed that CBD can improve complex sleep-related behaviors associated with rapid eye movement (REM). Another found that CBD's anxiolytic effects were responsible for blocking REM sleep suppression typical of PTSD symptoms.
Five to ten milligrams of CBD per day is a good starting dose. If your main problem is anxiety or pain, take a CBD tincture sublingually or through a gel capsule, one or two hours before bed. For those who wake up in the middle of the night, use a vaporizer when it occurs for instant effects to help you fall back asleep. If you feel this dosage is not enough, gradually increase it by 5-10 milligram increments until the desired effect is achieved.
Thanks to the research on CBD, many people are benefitting from this wonderful non-psychoactive cannabinoid. Just remember, there is no universal method of using CBD, it all de- pends on what results you are trying to achieve.

Interest in CBD is growing because of its incredible health benefits. Its anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic, and anti-anxiety properties are just a sampling of the attributes researchers have unearthed, and manufacturers have tapped into. Patients suffering from diseases as varied as Alzheimer's and multiple sclerosis have reported experiencing re- lief after consuming CBD.
CBD also doesn't have any intoxicating effects. A pure CBD isolate will affect your body, but your mind will remain clear. The "high" feeling that THC creates is highly sought after by many consumers, but others are mainly interested in the other potential health benefits. In fact, CBD has been shown to counterbalance the intoxicating effects of THC. Isolating specific cannabinoids has become a huge part of the cannabis industry.
Currently, interest is primarily focused on THC and CBD, but that is evolving as legalization sweeps the country and research dollars pour into the industry.

Q: Storing no of players the last seven days in an online game I want to plot the number of players, in the last seven days, of an MMORPG which haves 50~ servers. The system fetches the number of players in each server every 15 minutes and I'm not really sure how to store and update this information in an efficient way.
The easiest (but probably not so efficient) way I can think of is just having three columns, "time_fetched", "server", "no_players". Every 15 minutes it inserts 50 new rows and deletes the 50 oldest rows.
Maybe I could store weekday, hours and minute instead? So instead of deleting and inserting rows it just updates the correct rows? This would mean that I always have a fixed number of rows in the table (50 * 4 * 24 * 7 = 33600).
Also; would it be more efficient to store the server name as an enum instead of just strings (or some other way, maybe one table for each server)?

A: I would store the timestamp, server identifier, and number of players in just the way you thought of, deleting the oldest (if you need to) and adding new ones every 15 minutes.
Moving the server names into another "server" table and referencing the primary key in your player count table would be a more conventional normalised design.
With reference to the trigger, don't forget that you can perform both the insert and the delete in the same SQL statement with a common table expression: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!1/c8362/5


Moesha "Mo" Canala must have been wondering what was going on when she was led, blindfolded, from the clubrooms at Tara Raceway on Sunday. But Mo, who celebrated her 16th birthday on Sunday, received the surprise of her life when removing the blindfold. A regular catcher at the race meetings, Mo had been putting away her catching fees towards the purchase of a new car. But with the help of family, a slick little black Suzuki adorned with a big red bow and custom plates had been fast-tracked for her birthday and was waiting for her at the track.


Billy Currington will launch his Summer Forever Tour with Kelsea Ballerini on February 19th.
Billy Currington may want to start making a note every time he feels some magic in the writing room.
The singer, whose Summer Forever Tour with Kelsea Ballerini launches on February 19th in San Antonio, had actually forgotten about the existence of his latest single "It Don't Hurt Like It Used To" before he was recording his album Summer Forever. Currington originally wrote the song with Shy Carter and Cary Barlowe in between studio sessions with producer Dann Huff, essentially blurt-singing the part-optimistic, part-heartbroken tune on the fly. They were finished in less than two hours.
But then his manager called, having obtained a file of the song, and insisted that "It Don't Hurt Like It Used To" (hear it below) be included on the album that became Summer Forever. Upon listening again, Currington realized he'd sold the tune short.
It's not the first time Currington has done that with one of his own songs, either. His second single "I Got a Feelin'" was written with Carson Chamberlain and Casey Beathard and quickly completed. Currington says while they were writing he wasn't sure how he felt about the song's message.
"I got up and said, 'You know what boys? This is too much lovey-dovey stuff for me. Let's come back and write a man song,'" he recalls. "They said, 'Boy, you can go write a man song if you want — we gonna finish 'I Got a Feelin'.' I decided I better finish it. But that was another song that I didn't think nothing of it until it was complete and sent back to me like, 'Hey, you need to think about this.' The song went on to become a Top 5 hit.
But that all kind of rolls into Currington's remarkably chill outlook. He's undoutedbly got a mountain of pressure on him to bring in the hits (at 10 Number One songs, he's one of country's quietest big achievers), make new records and go on tour, but he tends to take it all in stride. That's not to say he's been perfect — a quick online search will reveal a 2013 boating incident that sent him to anger management — but his subdued presence of late fits into the larger picture of him trying to maintain harmony in a notoriously volatile business.
It certainly hasn't hurt when it comes to harnessing magic in the writing room, either.


Restaurants also increase prices by reducing the amount of the most expensive ingredient in the dish and surround it by lower cost ingredients, like potato mash or other vegetables. Coulis seems to be a favourite. (What is coulis?) Effort may also be placed on presentation of the dish so it appears like a work of art. (Doesn't art deserve a higher price?) The menu descriptions may be written by specialist menu copywriters using a bit of French or Italian to give a greater feel of value, even though the actual cost of the dish has decreased. This is just an example of packaging.

Royal Palace (1964–1991) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse. In a racing career which lasted from June 1966 until July 1968 he ran eleven times and won nine races. After being rated the best English-trained two-year-old of 1966, he won the first two legs of the Triple Crown, the 2000 Guineas and the Derby in 1967. He returned for an unbeaten four-year-old season in 1968 when he won four races which are now Group One events.

Background
Royal Palace was a dark-coated bay horse with a white star and one white foot, bred and raced by Jim Joel, whose father and uncle were both major forces in British horse racing. He was sired by Ballymoss, the leading European racehorse of 1958 and a grandson of one of the most influential stallions in history, Nearco. His dam Crystal Palace was a successful racemare who won the Falmouth Stakes and the Nassau Stakes in 1959. She was also an important broodmare, producing Prince Consort (Princess of Wales's Stakes), Selhurst, (Hardwicke Stakes) and Glass Slipper, the dam of the Classic winners Light Cavalry, (St. Leger Stakes) and Fairy Footsteps, 1000 Guineas. Joel sent the colt into training with Noel Murless at his Warren Place stables in Newmarket, Suffolk.

Racing career

1966: two-year-old season
Royal Palace made his first racecourse appearance in the Coventry Stakes over six furlongs at Royal Ascot in June. He showed good early speed before finishing unplaced behind the Irish colt Bold Lad. After a break of two months, Royal Palace reappeared at the Ebor meeting at York Racecourse, where he won the Acomb Stakes. On his final run of the year, the colt returned to Ascot for the Royal Lodge Stakes over one mile. He was left behind at the start and was still in last place on the final turn, but then quickened past his opponents to win by one and a half lengths from Slip Stitch. In the Free Handicap, an assessment of the year's best two-year-olds, Royal Palace was ranked second, three pounds below Bold Lad.

1967: three-year-old season
Royal Palace made his three-year-old debut in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, for which he started 100/30 joint-favourite with Bold Lad in a field of eighteen runners. He was not impressive in the paddock before the race, as he appeared to be agitated and was sweating freely. Ridden by the Australian Racing Hall of Fame jockey George Moore, he challenged for the lead in the final quarter mile and won by a short head from the French-trained colt Taj Dewan. The race was the first British Classic to use starting stalls. The victory was reportedly well-received owing to the popularity of Jim Joel, who was winning his first classic since Royal Palace's great-grandam Picture Play won the 1000 Guineas in 1944. At Epsom Downs Racecourse on 7 June, Royal Palace started 7/4 favourite for the Derby. An unusual feature of the build-up to the race was the huge public gamble on the outsider El Mighty, who was backed from odds of 200/1 to 25/1  after a Peterborough shopkeeper claimed to have seen the horse winning in a dream. El Mighty led the field into the straight, but Royal Palace was always well placed and took the lead two furlongs from the finish. He won by two and a half lengths, defeating Charles W. Engelhard, Jr.'s Ribocco with Dart Board two lengths further back in third.

Having won the first two legs of the Triple Crown, Royal Palace missed the important summer championship races to be prepared for the St Leger at Doncaster Racecourse. In August he sustained an injury which forced him to miss his trial race in the Great Voltigeur Stakes at York. He fell behind in his preparation and worked badly a week before the St Leger, leading his connections to withdraw him from the race. He returned for the Champion Stakes over ten furlongs at Newmarket in October, but failed to reproduce his best form, finishing third behind Reform and Taj Dewan.

1968: four-year-old season
In 1968 the teenager Sandy Barclay replaced Moore and Royal Palace was undefeated in five races. He began by winning the Coronation Stakes at Sandown in May. He then won the Coronation Cup at Epsom and the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot.

In July, returned to Sandown for an exceptionally strong renewal of the Eclipse Stakes, in which his opponents included Taj Dewan and the 1968 Derby winner Sir Ivor, who started the 4/5 favourite. The race has been compared to the 1903 Eclipse, in which the Derby winners Ard Patrick and Rock Sand were opposed by the outstanding racemare Sceptre. Taj Dewan took the lead in the straight, and although Royal Palace produced a strong finish he appeared to have narrowly failed to catch the leader. The photo-finish, however, revealed that he had prevailed by a short-head from Taj Dewan, with Sir Ivor in three-quarters of a length behind in third. The race was rated forty-eighth in the Racing Post's 2005 listing of the "100 Greatest Races". On his final start, Royal Palace contested the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot. His main rival was expected to be Ribero, who had defeated Sir Ivor in the Irish Derby. In the straight Royal Palace sustained an injury to the suspensory ligament in his left foreleg, but stayed on to win by half a length from Felicio, with the future Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Topyo in third and Ribero fourth. The injury ended his racing career and he was retired to stud.

Assessment and honours
Despite his successes, Royal Palace was never voted British Horse of the Year, being beaten by Busted in 1967 and Sir Ivor in 1968. He was given a relatively modest Timeform rating of 131.

Stud career
As a stallion, Royal Palace was owned jointly by Jim Joel, Hon. Lady Macdonald-Buchanan, and Lord Howard de Walden. Royal Palace sired some good winners, but his overall record was disappointing. His best flat runner was Dunfermline,  winner of the 1977 Epsom Oaks and St. Leger Stakes for her owner, Queen Elizabeth II. Royal Palace later sired the triple Champion Hurdler, See You Then.

In 1991, at The National Stud near Newmarket, Suffolk in England, the twenty-seven-year-old Royal Palace was put down as a result of infirmities from old age. He is buried in The National Stud's horse cemetery.

Peter Capaldi Still Hasn't Decided Whether to Stay On After 2017
Should he stay or should he go? That's the question that has tormented Mick Jones and now, Peter Capaldi, who has revealed he's still undecided about staying on beyond 2017.
It's been around eight months since Capaldi first mentioned that he was pondering his future after Steven Moffat announced that he would be departing the show to make way for Broadchurch creator Chris Chibnall.
Then, last month, rumours began to circulate that Chibnall himself was looking to break away with a 'clean slate' which translates to a younger Doctor at the helm of the TARDIS and a break from continuity.
However, Capaldi has now commented that he still hasn't decided yet. Speaking to Wales Online he said:
"I've been asked to stay on and I haven't made my mind up about that yet, mainly because I don't want to have to make that decision. I'm trying to avoid it!"
He continues:
"Doctor Who does take a lot of time, but it's a wonderful use of it. It's special. I'm lucky enough to be in touch with other Doctors, and we all agree how extraordinary it is to be in this position. To decide to leave is a tough decision for everybody. [It was] very tough for Steven, so I'm just putting it off for as long as possible."
Looking back at his time on the show, Capaldi added:
"I was happy with my life. I'd been very blessed already and there are things about doing the show that make life more complicated, certainly being so visible is a new and different way to be.
"It's so delightful to be in this position. People aren't really seeing me anymore. They see Doctor Who, so it's a fantastic place to be. It's also finite, so I'm enjoying as it unfolds."
As Wales Online comments there's a special reason why Capaldi might consider staying on – he'll get to celebrate a landmark birthday as the Doctor.
"That would be a good way to spend your 60th birthday, don't you think?"

My musings in general
Wax Lyricals Blogspot
Yesterdays Men Should Not Ruin Our Tomorrows
The Country is completely divided and it is entirely the fault of successive Prime Minister's. Brown, Blair and Major for their part in signing us up, without asking the electorate, to EU Treaties which fundamentally changed our relationship with Europe. Cameron and May continued the arrogance by asking a ridiculously simplistic question in the 2016 Referendum and now by trying to convince us that they are following the wishes of the public by presenting a deal which will result in us leaving the EU in name only. This arrogance on the part of our Political leaders has to stop and we need someone to step forward with the vision to put right, these wrongs.
We have to find a way to fix this divide, before it decends into violence and all faith in politics and the concept of democracy is lost. The only way in which I can see that we can achieve this is to fix the underlying problems which caused the division in the first place. Namely, they never asked our permission to take us in this direction and then when they did ask our views, they now seek to undermine what we voted for. This arrogance and disregard by the Government and by Parliament has to stop.
In 2016 we voted to Leave the EU but those who dont want to do this, are causing so much antagonism in refusing to accept it. Particularly those who are pushing for a "Peoples Vote" on things. As if it wasn't the people who voted to leave the EU in the first place!
This complete arrogant dismassal of the 2016 vote is fueling further resentment and anger in the wider Country. Where a feeling of complete betrayal in huge swathes of the populace is only making people more resistant to the idea. It is perverse in the extreme in wanting to overrule a vote from 2016 before it has even been implemented. If this happens then what is the point in voting ever again? As voting for something can then be undermined, ignored and overuled. This is an extremely dangerous path to take. As to many this was the first time that they were given a say on this issue and yet it's being suggested that they vote again, even before the first vote is implemented. If this happens our democracy dies.
Those pushing this idea are stupidly fueling tensions which could very easily boil over into violence. It has to stop. As a nation we need to take action now to calm this down and we have only one opportunity to do so but our Prime Minister Theresa May, is part of the problem by trying to please all sides of the divide. The path she is navigating cannot and will not work as you cannot satisfy anyone by presenting a deal which no-one voted for. Therefore, I can see no option but to remove her from position as she lacks the foresight and imagination to embrace the Brexit fully and she must be replaced with a Prime Minister who will put DEMOCRACY not Party Politics first and foremost in their thinking.
To achieve this we must Leave the EU, lock, stock and barrel under a WTO deal.
That is the ONLY way that the promises of the 2016 Referendum can be fully met, where we were promised that by voting to Leave we could take back control of our laws, borders, money, trade deals and fisheries. WTO is the only way to deliver this. It must be done.
This will fully satisfy the demands and vote of the 17.4million and deliver Brexit.
However, there are also 16 million people who wanted to remain within the EU and those people cannot just be ignored either. Democracy does not end at a point in time and so we re-engage with everyone from all sides of the divide.
To do that, the next Prime Minister must make a vow to go back to the people once we have left the EU, in order to gain a mandate for our future relationship with them.
All options should be on the table for this vote.
The electorate should have been asked under Blair's, Brown's and Major's leadership but weren't, as they arrogantly bounced us into something without asking our permission to do sot. These errors of the past need to be corrected and to do that we need a new Democratic exercise once we are fully out to finally put this issue to bed for the next 40 years.
Or else we will never gain a consensus and bring this nation back together.
So we Leave fully. No questions, we voted to Leave so we must now Leave. This respects the vote from 2016 and doesn't leave a sense of grievance in those who voted for it by trying to impose a political stitch up as to what was meant by a vote to Leave. It was a simple concept, it was the opposite of Remain.
Then we hold a further referendum on our future relationship with the EU to correct the mistakes of previous Governments, all options should be on the tale, to include as a minimum the following,
1) Remain fully out
2) Enter EEA
3) Free Trade Deal Canada +++
4) Rejoin EU
The pros and cons of each should be put to the electorate in reasoned, factual debates and then we all vote, that is the only way to satisfy democracy
Remainers cried foul when there were masses of people who this decision affected who were excluded from the vote. I'm speaking of 16 year olds and foreign nationals.
Again it is my opinion that we were right to do this but we need to open this topic up again as by just dismissing a grievance doesn't make it go away, it merely increases the demand for it. In a mature democracy we should not be afraid of debate because we might not like the answer, it's that attitude which has led us to where we are. So we must revist the debate to give the vote to 16 year olds, to also include foreign nationals who pay taxes here also. I don't agree with it and I will be campaignjng against it but everyone who works, lives and contributes in this society has a right to have a say on what happens to it and what direction we take. This is democracy and it is a concept that we gave to the world and it is in my opinion, the only feasible way of sorting out this mess that we all find ourselves in.
Mr Blair, Brown and Major are right when they belatedly demand a Peoples Vote as we do, but we need a Peoples Vote on what relationship we have with the EU at the point of entry, not by simply repeating the mistakes of the past and bouncing us into a relationship that suits the likes of Brown, Blair or Major without taking the consideration of the electorate into account.
We voted to Leave, not to half leave as vested interests and political has-beens demand we vote again before we have left. It was their mistakes by not giving us a vote in the first instance which has led to all of this and so we shouldn't let yesterdays men once again fudge our tomorrows.

The 656,000-square foot shopping center and entertainment district was previously the site of a movie studio and a NASA plant that produced and tested many of the 20th century's greatest aviation, missile and space endeavors such as the Apollo Space Program and the Space Shuttle.
"The Promenade at Downey will pay tribute to its history throughout the property and will provide shoppers with a diverse selection of retail and entertainment tenants – from HomeGoods to Cinemark – that will truly transform this area into an entertainment district," said David Hurst, President of Falcon Construction Advisors – a division of Falcon Realty Advisors, a national commercial real estate firm specializing exclusively in representation of retail, restaurant and entertainment tenants.
The Promenade at Downey's entertainment court will offer educational reading stations with themed elements associated with the space program and an interpretive walk honoring space missions, while the Cinemark NextGen theater will feature panels commemorating Downey Studios, which produced movies such as "Iron Man," "Spider Man" and "Catch Me If You Can" on the site.
"A cornerstone of Falcon's business is creating a positive impact on the communities we serve, and the Promenade at Downey will not only broaden the area's access to quality retail options, but is expected to generate more than $4.5 million of revenue to the city annually and create more than 5,000 new jobs once completed," added Hurst.
With Phase I and II complete, nearly three dozen best-in-class retailers have officially opened their doors, including Walmart, TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, Ulta, Famous Footwear, Dress Barn, Carter's, Oshkosh, Five Guys, Chipotle, Mod Pizza, California Fish Grill, Benihana, 24 Hour Fitness, Floor & Décor, Cinemark and Lazy Dog. Located southeast of downtown Los Angeles, the Promenade at Downey will also be home to a host of local, regional and national tenants such as Ruby's Diner, Bar Louie, Skechers, AT&T and Gaucho Grill.
"At Falcon we consistently wear many hats – architects, general contractors, construction managers to developers – allowing us to provide a unique perspective for each of our projects and our role with the Promenade at Downey has been no exception," said Tim Hughes, President of Falcon Realty Advisors.
