Crosby, Stills, & Nash (at times known as Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young) are a pioneering folk rock/rock supergroup that formed out of the remnants of three 1960s bands: the Buffalo Springfield, the Byrds, and the Hollies. The band is primarily known for their three- (and sometimes four-) part vocal harmonies. They have a strong association with the Woodstock Festival, and they are one of the few North American groups that rivaled the Beatles in popularity in the late 1960s and early 1970s. They are commonly referred to by their initials CSN or CSNY.

Crosby, Stills, and Nash album cover
The group began when the Buffalo Springfield were falling apart. Neil Young failed to show up for their set at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. As a substitute, David Crosby was invited to sit in by Stephen Stills. After the Buffalo Springfield broke up and Crosby was dismissed from the Byrds, he and Stills began meeting each other and jamming. When the Hollies ventured to California in 1968 while on tour, Graham Nash was introduced to Crosby by Cass Elliot of the Mamas and the Papas. At a party at either Joni Mitchell's place or John Sebastian's (depending on whose memory you trust), Nash joined Stills and Crosby to add additional harmonies to Stills' "You Don't Have To Cry."
Creatively frustrated with the Hollies, Nash decided to join with Crosby and Stills. After a failed audition with the Beatles' Apple Records, the trio signed with Atlantic. Crosby, Stills, & Nash (1969) was an immediate hit with several hit singles and rock radio tracks. Only one outside musician (Dallas Taylor on drums) appeared on the record. Stills contributed lead guitar, bass, and organ, and Crosby played rhythm guitar. Because of this CSN had to audition musicians in order to tour.
Instead, Neil Young was added as a full member so that all four could play keyboards during shows. With Young on board, the group went on tour including their second live performance being at Woodstock. Their first album with Young D�jà Vu came out in 1970 and was another hit. In May of that year, Crosby gave Young the Time cover featuring the Kent State massacre which inspired him to write "Ohio," another Top 20 hit for the group.
Solo years
Shortly afterward, all four released solo albums (Crosby If I Could Only Remember My Name, Stills Stephen Stills, Nash Songs for Beginners, Young After the Goldrush). All had a measure of solo success, especially Young and to a lesser extent Stills. Although they would appear on each others' solo records, there was no attempt at a reunion until 1974 when CSNY went on a North American stadium tour. They attempted to record a new album to be called The Human Highway but tensions ended the sessions.
Crosby and Nash began recording as a duo while Stills and Young resumed their solo careers. In 1976, Stills and Young jointly recorded Long May You Run as the Stills-Young Band, but Young left midway through the following tour. Stills was contractually obligated to finish the tour.
Reunion years
Afterward, Stills appeared at a Crosby-Nash concert in Los Angeles. This set the stage for the albums CSN in 1977 and Daylight Again in 1982. Daylight Again was originally recorded as a Stills-Nash record due to Crosby's increasing drug addiction. However, Atlantic Record executives refused to release it until Crosby was added. The trio did tour until 1985 when Crosby was arrested and jailed on drug and weapons charges.
When Crosby was released from jail, Young rejoined for American Dream in 1988 because he had promised to record with them again if Crosby cleaned himself up. Young did refuse to tour to support American Dream, but CSN did regroup for the studio album Live It Up in 1990 and After the Storm in 1994.

CSNY on tour in 2002
In the late 1990s, CSN left Atlantic Records and began recording on their own. Stills invited Young to guest on a few tracks. After he arrived, Young contributed so much that Looking Forward was released as a CSNY album on Young's record label Reprise. The CSNY2K tour (2000) and the CSNY Tour of America (2002) were major money makers.
CSN was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. Crosby has also been inducted as a member of the Byrds, and Stills is also in as a member of the Buffalo Springfield. Interestingly, Young has been inducted for his solo work and his work in the Buffalo Springfield but has not been inducted with CSN.

Without the novelty and excitement attending the Mercury and Gemini missions and lacking the romance and triumphal moments that crowned Apollo, the Space Shuttle program has always been the poor stepchild in our manned space flight history, unfortunately better known for its disasters, the loss of the Challenger and Columbia spaceships, than its achievements. White (Vulcan 607: The Epic Story of the Most Remarkable British Air Attack Since the Second World War, 2012, etc.) returns us to the program's origins, the hugely complex problem of building a reusable workhorse intended to routinize space travel, the political environment that shaped so many decisions, and the tests and preparation leading up to his almost hour-by-hour re-creation of the launch. Astronauts, of course, take pride of place among his large cast of characters, especially Cmdr. John Young and Pilot Robert Crippen and backup crew Richard Truly and Joe Engle. White's smoothly readable account also features numerous lesser-known figures who played a crucial role in the orbiter's story and some behind-the-scenes names that became well-known to space enthusiasts. Throughout, the author demonstrates NASA's debt in terms of money, manpower, and expertise to the Air Force's scuttled Manned Orbiting Laboratory, a point made most effectively as he chronicles the fear and tension over the tiles that had come loose from Columbia's heat shield. Would the spaceship survive re-entry? Only difficult-to-retrieve photos from the Department of Defense's top-secret recon satellites could reassure flight managers and satisfy the crew they could, "traveling three times faster than any winged flying machine had ever flown," make it safely back to Earth, to an almost perfect landing on a dry lake bed at Edwards Air Force Base.
For space aficionados especially but also a good choice for general readers seeking an introduction to an underappreciated, thrilling chapter in aerospace history.

Texas State Highway Loop 463 (Loop 463) is a state highway loop in the city of Victoria in the U.S. state of Texas. The highway composes the eastern segment of the Zac Lentz Parkway; the western section carries  US 77.

Route description
The Loop 463 designation officially begins at an interchange with Future I-69/US 59; however, state maintenance of the roadway continues along Burroughsville Road for approximately 500 feet to the Victoria city limits. From this interchange, the roadway travels to the northwest, crossing Lone Tree Road at an at-grade intersection before meeting Future Bus. I-69/Bus. US 59 at a folded diamond interchange. It then has two at-grade crossings, at Airline Road and Ben Jorden Street, before turning into a freeway-grade roadway. Loop 463 has interchanges at Mockingbird Lane and Salem Road before turning due west. The Loop 463 designation ends at an interchange with Navarro Street, which carries  Bus. US 77 into downtown Victoria and northbound  US 77 towards Hallettsville. Zac Lentz Parkway continues past this point carrying southbound US 77.

History
Loop 463 was first designated on May 23, 1968. The designation was truncated to its current routing on April 25, 2002, when US 77 was rerouted around the west and north sides of Victoria along the parkway. The segment that was removed along Navarro Street became part of Bus. US 77.

The northern freeway segment of Loop 463 was completed in 2013 after two years of construction. The main lanes were constructed and interchanges were added at several junctions.

Investing Retirement Planning
What Is In-Service Withdrawal?
Definition & Examples of In-Service Withdrawal
ljubaphoto / Getty Images
Rosemary Carlson is a finance instructor, author, and consultant. She has brought her expertise to the readers of The Balance since 2008.
Rosemary Carlson
In-service withdrawal occurs when an employee takes a withdrawal of funds from a qualified employer-sponsored retirement plan while still working or before experiencing a triggering event such as termination from the company.
You're making an in-service withdrawal from your employer-sponsored retirement plan if none of the following conditions exists:
retirement at age 59½
termination from the company
If one of those conditions does exist, then it is a regular withdrawal.
Alternate name: Early distribution
How In-Service Withdrawal Works
Making an in-service withdrawal from your employer-sponsored retirement plan is almost never advisable. In just about every case, you will be subject to taxes and penalties. Making an in-service withdrawal will also reduce the value of your retirement account. That reduction is usually permanent because you lose the benefit of non-taxable compounding. This leaves you with less money when you retire.
There are two types of employer-sponsored retirement accounts and each works differently when it comes to in-service withdrawal. Both types are covered under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) which sets the minimum standards for an employer to offer a pension plan.
Defined Benefit Retirement Accounts
Defined benefit retirement accounts are administered by a pension fund manager. Defined benefit plans usually require the employee to contribute a percentage of their salary to their retirement account and, often, the company matches that contribution in some way.
One of the biggest differences between the defined benefit and defined contribution plans is that you usually have to be vested in the defined benefit plan before you receive any benefits. You can't withdraw any money—including your own contributions—until you are vested. When you retire, you get a set benefit payment per month. Defined benefit plans include many teacher's retirement plans (TRS) but they are becoming much less common.
Defined Contribution Retirement Accounts
Defined contribution retirement plans usually require that both the employee and the employer contribute to the plan in some matching arrangement. You may also have to be vested when you have a defined contribution plan, but the vesting is different than in the defined benefit plan and could be on a schedule. You can always draw out your own funds if you have a defined contribution plan, but you can only draw out the employer's funds according to the vesting schedule—if there is one. Examples of defined contribution plans are 401(k) and 403(b) plans and the rules are established by the Internal Revenue Service.
Other Retirement Accounts
In addition, there are the following accounts:
Thrift Savings Plans: The retirement fund for federal government employees has very similar rules and conditions to the 401(k).
The 457(b): This is a non-qualified employee retirement plan for state and local government workers. It follows different rules and employees can make an in-service withdrawal at any time.
SEP and SIMPLE Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs): These are used in small businesses. There are no rules for in-service withdrawal for the SEP IRA. SIMPLE IRAs have vesting requirements and the penalty for in-service withdrawal is increased to 25% if you have not been vested, which is generally during the first two years you are in the plan.
When Can In-Service Withdrawals Be Taken?
In accounts that permit in-service withdrawals, there are allowable circumstances. The need for the in-service withdrawal must be immediate and it must be a heavy financial burden.
The in-service withdrawal must be limited to the amount of the need. This is called a hardship in-service withdrawal. It assumes the employee can't get the money from other sources like wages or loans because that would add to the amount of the employee's financial hardship.
The available funds can only come from employee/employer matching contributions and not from any income earned on them—such as dividend and interest income.
Reasons for an In-Service Withdrawal
In 2017, the IRS established six allowable reasons for an in-service withdrawal:
Medical expenses for the employee, spouse, dependents, or beneficiary
Costs directly related to the purchase of the employee's principal residence, including mortgage payments
Tuition and all related post-secondary educational costs, including room and board, for the employee, spouse, children, spouse's children, and beneficiary for the next 12 months
Payments necessary to prevent the foreclosure of the employee's principal residence or eviction of the employee from that residence
Funeral expenses for the employee, spouse, children, or beneficiary
Certain expenses to repair damage to the employee's principal residence
In-service withdrawal occurs when an employee takes funds from a qualified employer-sponsored retirement plan while still working.
Certain triggering events, such as termination, render withdrawals allowable.
Different types of retirement accounts have different rules.
There is always a tax consequence to early distribution, meaning it should only be used as a last resort.

Spotlight on Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
Select CategoryEmployment LawUnfair DismissalDiscriminationRedundancySettlement AgreementsEmployment DisputesNews & Announcements
In July 2018, the Women and Equalities Committee of the House of Commons published a report on sexual harassment in the workplace, which sought to highlight the issue of harassment, in an attempt to bring it out into the open as a matter to be discussed, with a view to eventually prevent it from happening at all.
That report noted (according to a ComRes poll) that up to 53% of women and 20% of men (and 37% of all employees surveyed) had experienced workplace sexual harassment, and shockingly, 10% of women who had been harassed said that they had been sexually assaulted.
It is not clear whether or to what extent the harassment was reported to the employer. However, the Report noted that part of the problem was that employers use non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), which effectively prevented instances of sexual harassment from being made public.
This led the Women and Equalities Committee to start a separate inquiry specifically into the use of NDAs, and that report was published earlier this year in June 2019. The Committee heard evidence that widespread use of NDAs within employment law was preventing the proper investigation of unlawful discrimination in the workplace.
Against this backdrop a legal charity, 'Rights of Women', announced earlier this month that they are setting up the first and (currently) only legal helpline offering free legal advice to women facing sexual harassment at work, such as:
What behaviour constitutes sexual harassment;
How to make a complaint to an employer;
How to bring a claim at an Employment Tribunal; and
Advice on settlement and non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).
The telephone number is 020 7490 0152, and the line is currently open on Mondays between 6pm and 8pm and on Tuesdays between 5pm and 7pm.
The funding for this helpline has come from a number of sources, including Time's Up UK's Justice and Equality Fund, members of the public and notable donations from celebrities such as Emma Watson, who donated £1 million.
This is an important initiative as it is seeking to capitalise on the momentum generated by the #MeToo movement and seeks to get the message out to the public both that this is an important issue that needs to be discussed and that there is help available.
Sexual harassment is defined as 'unwanted behaviour of a sexual nature which does any of the following:
Violates your dignity;
Makes you feel intimidated, degraded or humiliated; or
Creates a hostile or offensive environment.
It is harassment for someone to be subjected to any one of the above.
A violation of dignity occurs whenever someone feels as though they have not been treated with due respect. In terms of sexual harassment., that would happen when someone feels disrespected as a result of something sex-related at work.
It is notable that the focus for this is on how the behaviour makes the victim feel – it is not enough that harassers did not intend their actions or thought that they were engaging in 'banter'.
Whenever people feel intimidated, degraded or humiliated, that would constitute harassment, especially if they have been treated less favourably due to their gender or because they have rejected advances or have been dismissed for doing so.
Every employer should have a policy which clearly states who complaints should be made to, such as a manager or HR department.
If you have experienced any of the issues above, please get in touch with us and we will assist you in whatever way we can.
At Kalra Legal Group, we are particularly focused on employees who are facing discrimination at work, especially women – whether that is due to issues surrounding maternity, sexual harassment or any other protected characteristic. We believe that the best way of eradicating sexual harassment in the workplace is to get people talking about it so that there is awareness of where the line is and when it has been crossed.
If you would like to discuss this further with a sexual discrimination solicitor, please call us on 0800 8321 554 or email us on info@klglaw.co.uk.

The Catskill Aqueduct, part of the New York City water supply system, brings water from the Catskill Mountains to Yonkers where it connects to other parts of the system.

History
Construction commenced in 1907. The aqueduct proper was completed in 1916 and the entire Catskill Aqueduct system including three dams and 67 shafts was completed in 1924. The total cost of the aqueduct system was $177 million ().

Specifications
The  aqueduct consists of  of cut and cover aqueduct, over  of grade tunnel,  of pressure tunnel, and nine miles (10 km) of steel siphon. The 67 shafts sunk for various purposes on the aqueduct and City Tunnel vary in depth from 174 to . Water flows by gravity through the aqueduct at a rate of about .

The Catskill Aqueduct has an operational capacity of about  per day north of the Kensico Reservoir in Valhalla, New York. Capacity in the section of the aqueduct south of Kensico Reservoir to the Hillview Reservoir in Yonkers, New York is  per day. The aqueduct normally operates well below capacity with daily averages around 350– of water per day. About 40% of New York City's water supply flows through the Catskill Aqueduct.

Geography
The Catskill Aqueduct begins at the Ashokan Reservoir in Olivebridge, New York, located in Ulster County. From the Ashokan Reservoir, the aqueduct traverses in a southeasterly direction through Ulster, Orange, and Putnam counties. It tunnels first beneath the Rondout Valley and Rondout Creek in the town of Marbletown, then beneath the Wallkill River in the town of Gardiner in Ulster County before flowing toward Orange County, New York. It crosses  below the Hudson River bed at Storm King Mountain in Orange County before reaching Putnam County on the east side of the river at Breakneck Mountain. The aqueduct transports water from Ashokan as well as the Schoharie Reservoir, which feeds into Ashokan.

The aqueduct then enters Westchester County, New York, and flows to the Kensico Reservoir, which also receives water from the City's Delaware Aqueduct. It continues from the Kensico reservoir and terminates at the Hillview Reservoir in Yonkers. The Hillview Reservoir then feeds City Tunnels 1 and 2, which bring water to New York City. If necessary, water can be made to bypass both reservoirs.

After his coronation, Henry VII left Doncaster with a great attendance of noblemen and gentlemen, and was met by the earl of Northumberland and a right great and noble company on Barnsdale, 'a litill beyonde Robyn Haddez-ston'.(South Yorkshire, Vol II, p. 487) Hunter came to the conclusion that this was a reference to Robin Hood's Well, which probably influenced Walker. There can be no doubt the Stone of Robert Hode was in the region of Barnsdale in 1422, but was it a boundary stone or guidepost as Holt has suggested? It could have been a monument to the Robin Hood of legend, who was associated with Barnsdale from at least as early as 1420.(1) There is the possibility that a Robert Hode held land in the fields of Sleep Hill, which could mean that the stone was simply a boundary marker for the extent of his land. Robert Lynley has discovered an Ode family (including a Robert Ode) that was based at Moss/ Moseley in the parish/manor of Campsall, which borders both Wrangbrook and Skelbrooke, where the Butler family was established. The Ode's had land holdings at Campsall, Ouston, Burghwallis and Barnby Dun, and there was also a Hugh Hode of Bramwith, the village next to Moss/Moseley.
My location for the Stone of Robin Hode is based on the scale of Holt's map, (Robin Hood, p. 85) which places it approximately half a mile north west of Robin Hood's Well, and approximately one and a quarter miles south east of Wrangbrook.

Diversity of faith brightens America's beacon of hope
Boyd Matheson, Deseret News
Leaving our deeply held beliefs at home, in the mosque, synagogue or church is to leave a portion of self behind and accept a smaller portion of the illuminating light that emanates from the soul of every man and every woman.
For the past several months, I have been exploring the concept that faith is, or should be, a dimension of diversity that is highly valued — particularly in the public square. The first freedoms established in the First Amendment are central to the vitality and vibrancy of the American experience. More than just tolerating differences, we should be celebrating such differences and encouraging people to bring their diversity of faith into our businesses and communities.
I was recently in New York and had the opportunity to listen to Rabbi Dr. Meir Y. Soloveichik speak on the need for faith to be taken into the public square. He said, "When the state demands disloyalty to one's faith as the price for entering society, that is an assault on the human soul, and that is intolerable, because 'the soul of man is the candle of God.'"
Rabbi Soloveichik continued, "'The soul of man is the candle of God.' It is a powerful and enduring image. The human soul is a candle kindled by the Creator. Like a candle's flame, the soul's sanctity is so easily extinguished when buffeted by the winds of change, by the zeitgeist, by social pressure or by persecution. And yet like a flame, the soul, if protected, if sustained, if fueled by freedom, by faith, by courage, contains within it an infinite amount of power that can spark and inspire. …"
What we bring to the public square as individuals is so much more than our physical presence. We should be bringing our whole, authentic self to work and to our communities — including our religious beliefs. Leaving our deeply held beliefs at home, in the mosque, synagogue or church is to leave a portion of self behind and accept a smaller portion of the illuminating light that emanates from the soul of every man and every woman.
I have written previously about Salesforce, the world's leading provider of customer relationship management systems, and its array of diversity programs ranging from Latinos, LGBTQ and Asian groups to veterans, women and those with unique abilities within their disabilities. Each is a "force" within the company — as in AbilityForce, Latinoforce, Outforce, etc.
Salesforce has discovered the power of faith in the lives and performance of its employees. In 2017, the company took a leap into faith as part of its diversity opportunities when Faithforce was officially organized.
The company's website describes Faithforce this way, "We acknowledge, celebrate, and foster understanding of our global faith and religious diversity across Salesforce. With the goal of inclusion and empowering our employees to bring their authentic selves to work, Faithforce is open to all people of faith and allies who wish to learn about the different traditions that are integrated into our global communities.
No employee should feel pressured or coerced to participate in a faith program. But for far too long citizens have been told that they can have their individual faith and religion — but don't bring it to work or into the public square. When people feel they have to disconnect who they are from what they do each day, they tend to feel isolated, marginalized or unappreciated.
Elder Quentin L. Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints stated, "all voices need to be heard in the public square. Neither religious nor secular voices should be silenced." When each individual can share their authentic, best self with the community or group, all will experience the power of meaningful contribution and personal fulfillment. As Marianne Williamson said, "As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."
Rabbi Soloveichik concluded, "Originally, until recent times and in Jerusalem today, Hanukkah lights were kindled not inside but outside the door of Jewish homes, right outside the door. … Lighting candles outside the doors of our homes expresses that when people of faith leave their homes and enter the world, they take their beliefs and their religious identity with them. They do not check their beliefs at the door when they enter the public square. Their souls, the candle within each person, illuminates their path wherever they may lead."
Valuing the light of belief within each soul adds fuel to the fire of freedom and brightens the beacon of hope America holds out to the world.

Common Yellowthroat
Common Yellowthroat Life History
Backyard Tips
HabitatScrub
FoodInsects
NestingShrub
BehaviorFoliage Gleaner
ConservationLow Concern
Common Yellowthroats live in thick, tangled vegetation in a wide range of habitats—from wetlands to prairies to pine forests—across North America. Their breeding range stretches across most of the United States, the Canadian provinces, and western Mexico. Yellowthroats are most common in wet areas, which tend to have dense vegetation low to the ground, ideal for skulking and building hidden nests. But they are also found in dry upland pine forests, palmetto thickets, drainage ditches, hedgerows, orchards, fields, burned-over oak forests, shrub-covered hillsides, river edges, and disturbed sites. They winter in similar habitats with dense vegetation in the southern United States, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.Back to top
Common Yellowthroats forage on or near the ground, eating insects and spiders from leaves, bark, branches, flowers, or fruit in low vegetation. Their diet includes bugs, flies, beetles, ants, termites, bees, wasps, grasshoppers, dragonflies, damselflies, moths, butterflies, caterpillars, and other larvae. Though they mostly glean their food while perched, they may sally out from a perch to catch prey. Like many birds, Common Yellowthroats also eat grit, which possibly helps them digest food or adds minerals to their diet.Back to top
The female selects a nest site, which is usually on or near the ground and supported by sedges, grasses, reeds, cattails, briars, skunk cabbage, or other low plants. Nests in marshy areas are usually higher off the ground, where they are safer from flooding. On rare occasions the female may build in vegetation growing out of the water.
The female builds her well-concealed nest in 4-5 days (sometimes 2-3 days later in the season). She starts by building a platform of grasses and leaves and gradually weaves a loose, bulky outer cup of grasses and sedges. She adds smaller materials toward the center, sometimes in distinct layers. The outside of the nest averages 3.5 inches wide and 3 inches deep, while the inner cup averages 2.2 inches wide and 1.8 inches deep. Sometimes a Common Yellowthroat nest has a roof, like the nest of an Ovenbird.
Clutch Size: 1-6 eggs
Egg Length: 0.6-0.8 in (1.5-2 cm)
Egg Width: 0.5-0.6 in (1.2-1.5 cm)
Incubation Period: 12 days
Nestling Period: 12 days
Egg Description: White with markings of gray, lilac, reddish-brown, or black.
Condition at Hatching: Helpless, with dark orange skin and wisps of grayish down.
Males arrive first on breeding grounds in the spring and begin defending territories, fighting more intensely when the females arrive. The black mask is an important signal in male fighting: when researchers added a black paper mask to a stuffed female, males started attacking the stuffed bird, as if it were a male rival. Eventually, a male pairs up with a female and begins following her closely until she signals that she's ready to mate, by fluttering her wings and giving a fast series of chips. This display also attracts other males, which may mate with the female behind her mate's back. The females themselves may defend their territories against other females. Once the nestlings hatch and the parents are busy feeding the young brood, they relax their territorial defense. Nest predators include snakes, mice, chipmunks, raccoons, skunks, and possums, while adult yellowthroats are sometimes prey for Loggerhead Shrikes, Northern Harriers, Merlins, and American Kestrels. On wintering grounds, Common Yellowthroats may forage in mixed-species flocks but are usually solitary.Back to top
Common Yellowthroats are numerous but they declining by almost 1% per year between 1966 and 2014, resulting in a cumulative decline of about 38%, according to the North American Breeding Bird Survey. Partners in Flight estimates the global breeding population at 87 million with 54% spending some part of the year in the U.S., 58% in Mexico, and 41% breeding in Canada. They rate a 9 out of 20 on the Continental Concern Score and are not on the 2014 State of the Birds Watch List. Two sedentary populations have declined sharply from habitat degradation: one subspecies in the San Francisco Bay region dropped 80-95 percent in the past century; another, in Brownsville, Texas, fell so far that it was thought extinct. Both populations remain at risk, largely from wetland degradation and conversion to agricultural and urban landscapes. Rangewide, yellowthroats probably suffer most from habitat degradation and loss. Because they are insectivores and often live in wetlands, they are also susceptible to poor water quality and to pesticides and other pollutants. Common Yellowthroats are not the focus of any management efforts, but they probably benefit indirectly from efforts used for other species, such as waterfowl.Back to top
Your yard could attract Common Yellowthroats if it is fairly large (yellowthroat territories are sometimes as small as 0.5 acre) and features dense or tangled, low-growing grasses and other vegetation.

Why CBD for Mosquito Bites Really Works!
CBD is now widely used in topicals such as creams and ointments. It is typically used to treat inflammation, acne, rashes, eczema, and psoriasis. However, the cannabinoid is still the subject of intense research, and every so often, potential new possibilities arise. One such left-field suggestion involves using it to treat mosquito bites.
According to the World Health Organization, mosquito bites kill over one million people; the majority of whom perish due to the effects of malaria. Moreover, there are at least 300 million cases of malaria annually. Tragically, a child dies from the condition every 30 seconds. The vast majority of fatalities occur in the developing world.
Although most mosquitoes are little more than nuisances, certain types spread infectious and potentially deadly diseases. For a lot of these viruses, there are no vaccines or medicines available.
These insects will bite you at any time of day or night, live inside or outside, and can hibernate in sheds and garages to survive low temperatures.
Mosquitoes are often associated with 'tropical' countries, but in reality, they are abundant in North America's southernmost states. Mosquitoes have spread viruses to the point where they become epidemics. Well-known and deadly epidemics include the chikungunya and Zika viruses.
Keep reading to learn more about mosquito bites, and whether CBD is a viable treatment.
What Happens When You Get Bitten by a Mosquito?
Globally, there are over 3,500 different mosquito species, and 5% (around 175) of them live in North America. Fortunately for us, malaria is no longer classified as a public health issue in the United States. The development of a synthetic pesticide called DDT helped control the population of mosquitoes and effectively eliminated malaria in the United States in the 1950s.
Even so, America reports several hundred cases of the disease each year. Most patients are returning from places where malaria remains a problem, such as Sub-Saharan Africa where the disease remains a huge threat. While the mosquito varies in terms of color, size, and threat, they all share a love of mammalian blood.
As far as mosquito bites are concerned, we must be wary of the female of the species. To be more precise, the potentially deadly diseases carried by mosquitoes are caused by a parasite carried only by females of the Anopheles genus of mosquito. The problem here is that this species exists all over the world, barring Antarctica.
When you get bitten by a female mosquito, its saliva penetrates the skin and is identified as a dangerous foreign substance by the body. It reacts by sending lymphocytes (white blood cells) to the scene of the attack to defeat the 'invader.' The result of this battle is irritating and occasionally painful inflammation. The saliva remains in your skin cells for hours, and effects can last from a couple of days to a week.
As far as malaria is concerned, when a mosquito bites a person already infected by the disease, it passes the parasite to the next unfortunate victim. Malaria is a disease transmitted by blood, so you don't have to worry about catching it from casual contact with an infected individual. However, you can catch it from a contaminated needle, blood transfusion, or a mosquito bite.
Symptoms of mosquito bites include:
Small blisters that resemble hard lumps.
Dark spots on the skin that look like bruises.
A reddish-brown bump, or several of them, a day or thereabouts after being bitten.
A white and reddish, puffy bump that usually appears within minutes of the bite.
There are also more severe reactions; often experienced by children, adults with no previous exposure to the mosquito type that bit them, or individuals with immune system disorders. Additional symptoms may include hives, low-grade fever, a large area of redness and swelling, and swollen lymph nodes.
As irritating as the bite is, don't scratch it as you risk infection! If you get bitten by a mosquito, treatment options include:
An OTC hydrocortisone cream.
Calamine lotion.
An ice pack or cold compress.
Baking soda paste.
An antihistamine.
A heated-up spoon; the heat should destroy the protein that causes the reaction and at least cause the itching to stop.
See a doctor if you feel symptoms such as body aches, fever, headaches, or signs of infection. Another potential treatment option is CBD, but before we delve into the possible benefits of the cannabinoid, let's check out a few ways to prevent mosquito bites.
Prevention Is Better Than Cure!
Avoid Mosquitoes
The most obvious way to prevent a mosquito bite is to steer clear of them. If you are in an area known to have mosquitoes, try to avoid performing any outdoor activities from dusk to dawn. If you are camping, double-check your tent to ensure there are no gaps or tears. Finally, place mosquito netting in as many places as possible.
The most effective insect repellents usually contain at least one of the following: DEET, Icaridin, and oil of lemon eucalyptus. DEET tends to offer the longest-lasting protection. If you use sunscreen, apply it 20 minutes before adding the repellent. Keep DEET away from infants aged two months or younger, and don't apply oil of eucalyptus to kids under the age of 36 months.
There is also an insecticide called permethrin which you apply to clothing, NOT skin.
Depending on the weather, wear clothing with long sleeves, light colors, light pants tucked into your socks, shoes with closed-toes, and a hat to protect your ears and neck. You can even attach mosquito netting to protect your face! You may feel (and look) silly, but it is a lot better than receiving a painful bite.
Here are a few tips if you live in a region with mosquitoes:
Unclog your roof gutters.
Change water in birdbaths weekly.
Remove old tires.
Empty wading pools weekly.
Mosquitoes need standing water to breed, so eliminate it!
Finally, if you tend to react badly to mosquito bites, use a non-prescription antihistamine if you know you'll be exposed to them.
CBD for Mosquito Bites: How It Helps
The prohibited status of marijuana means studying it is extremely difficult. With hemp-derived CBD recently removed from the list of controlled substances, we hope it leads to a significant increase in CBD studies.
As far as CBD's possible effect on mosquito bites goes, it has everything to do with how our bodies react, and how CBD impacts the body. After a mosquito bite, inflammation occurs in the body and manifests itself as swollen, itchy, and red skin. CBD is widely believed to have potent anti-inflammatory effects which can reduce the irritating and painful symptoms associated with mosquito bites.
When you apply CBD to the affected area, it interacts with the body's endocannabinoid receptors; the ones found in the epidermal (skin) cells to be precise. Cannabidiol can ensure that lymphocytes no longer need to carry out their duty. According to anecdotal reports, rubbing CBD on the bite area can alleviate the itching sensation in around 15 minutes. Even those who react badly to the bite and end up with large welts find that these bumps disappear within 12 hours or so.
Although there haven't been any studies specifically covering CBD's effectiveness on mosquito bites, there is research that looks at the cannabinoid's anti-inflammatory effects. A study by Booz, published in Free Radical Biology & Medicine in September 2011, looked at the efficacy of CBD as a therapeutic strategy for reducing the impact of inflammation on oxidative stress.
In the study, Booz wrote that oxidative stress and inflammation are involved in the genesis of many human diseases. He continued by saying that CBD was "a promising starting point for further drug development given its [modest] antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects on immune cells."
A review by Bruni et al., published in the journal Molecules in October 2018, went into great detail to analyze the effects of cannabinoid delivery systems for pain and inflammation management. The research team discussed the effect of cannabinoids, such as CBD, on the CB1 and CB2 receptors. The paper acknowledged the effects of the endocannabinoid system on the inflammatory pathway, and said that cannabis could "improve neuropathic pain reducing the low-grade inflammation consistent with the pathology."
A study by Darkovska-Serafimovska et al., published in the Journal of Pain Research in April 2018, found that CBD could reduce chronic pain by affecting endocannabinoid receptor activity. As a result, inflammation in the body is reduced.
Final Thoughts on CBD, Mosquito Bites, and Inflammation
Ultimately, mosquito bites remain a problem in North America even if the issue of malaria is mainly confined to nations in the developing world. Even if you don't contract a possible deadly virus, a mosquito bite could cause a severe allergic reaction. While there are already a large number of methods for combatting the effects of mosquito bites and lots of ways to prevent them, CBD could be another weapon against these pests.
By reducing the inflammation caused by the bite, CBD could help alleviate the pain and itchiness caused by a mosquito bite, and possibly reduce the effects of severe reactions. While we can't point you towards research into CBD and how it works on mosquito bites, there is a significant body of research which suggests that the cannabinoid can help reduce the effects of inflammation.
As the study by Bruni et al. pointed out, there are more than 1,000 articles published each year on cannabinoids and endocannabinoids. Just imagine how many more there will be if cannabis was legalized in more countries around the world. While it isn't prudent to claim marijuana, hemp and their cannabinoids are 'cure-alls,' these complex plants surely warrant even more study.

Got it right
Okay, yet another use of CBD! Probably this is the reason it helps with minor rashes as well, and that too different on different people.
Rick Phillips
The SMELL
I think the bad smell keeps the mosquitoes at bay. Otherwise, if CBD is good for pets, it must be goods for mosquitoes as well, I can account this only to the smell most logically 🙂
Ronald Keefe
Yes, it is working for me as well. I am happy as most of the mosquito repellents do not seem to work at my workplace, but CBD oil, although it fights the rashes later on as well, but if I apply a thin layer, it acts as an anti mosquito oil as well.
Johanna Torres
My favorite thing is that CBD doesn't have any side effects. There's nothing worse than the itch caused by a mosquito bite. Pleasantly surprised to hear that CBD can help with this. Is there anything CBD can't treat
