CBD Lures Stressed-Out Parents Looking to Unwind
sorsdaytoday
Caught in the churn of long days and sleepless nights, some parents have found solace in a nonintoxicating chemical derived from hemp.
Mother's little helpers. Wine o'clock. Sleeping pills. Parents have long relied on a variety of chemicals to help them get through the day.
But modern-day expectations — along with the pressures of balancing work and home — are breeding guilt and anxiety, leading some moms and dads to look for new ways to relax without the woolly-headed side effects of alcohol or medication.
Enter cannabidiol, or CBD, a chemical found in hemp and marijuana. Although the science is far from conclusive, it has been marketed as a cure-all for problems as varied as anxiety, chronic pain, inflammation and sleep disturbances. But unlike THC, another chemical found in cannabis, it doesn't make users high and, according to the World Health Organization, it does not appear to be addictive.
"It definitely helps when your kid punches you in the face," said Fritz Hubig, 45, a real estate broker in Washington, D.C., and the father of a 2-year-old. "If I did not embrace meditation and CBD, I'm not sure where I'd be."
About nine months ago, Mr. Hubig started experimenting with CBD oil at the encouragement of his brother, who has been in the cannabis industry for more than two decades. After a month or so, Mr. Hubig figured out which dosage felt right, and now estimates that his stress level has been reduced by at least half.
"Being high-strung and nervous and then having a kid, it's like — holy smokes," said Mr. Hubig, who works up to 80 hours a week. "I was just so worried about everything."
CBD use is growing among all adults in the United States, not just parents. The Brightfield Group, a cannabis market research firm, says CBD sales are expected to reach $22 billion by 2022. But is it safe to use? So far, the Food and Drug Administration has approved only one drug containing CBD: Epidiolex, which is used to reduce seizures associated with two rare forms of epilepsy. The agency recently announced that it is holding a public hearing at the end of May to gather information about the safety, manufacturing, product quality and marketing of cannabis or cannabis-derived compounds, including CBD.
The chemical is making headlines in part because of a new law. The 2018 farm bill legalized the production of hemp, which it defined as cannabis containing less than 0.3 percent THC, a move that is expected to help CBD vendors. But the F.D.A. said on its website that it does not permit CBD to be sold as dietary supplements or in food that crosses state lines, and has sent warning letters to several companies marketing products containing CBD.
Despite the need for more scientific information about CBD and its long-term effects on the body, CBD products are everywhere, including coffee, cocktails and ice cream. It also appears in oils, salves, powder, bath bombs, gummies — even sexual lubricants.
"It's important for people to know that there's been no research at all on the CBD products that are sold online or in stores," said Dr. Esther Blessing, an assistant professor of psychiatry at N.Y.U. Langone Health who has been studying CBD for about five years. "There's no safety net here."
While some companies selling CBD products perform third-party lab testing and tout rigorous protocols to ensure purity, there isn't central regulatory oversight to ensure high standards, which means there's plenty of snake oil.
CBD tincture from an online retailer SedonaHerb
A 2017 study analyzing 84 CBD products from 31 different companies found that the amount of CBD on the label was often inaccurate. Perhaps most concerning, THC was detected in 18 of the 84 samples. Some of the products had levels of THC roughly equivalent to "a few deep puffs" on a joint, according to Dr. Brian F. Thomas, one of the authors of the study and a senior research scientist at RTI International, a nonprofit research institute.
But the inadequate oversight of these products hasn't stopped people from buying them. In fact, some users swear by their CBD products, and say it has become a balm for the pressures of parenting.
Jen Bernstein, 38, the mother of a 3-year-old, uses CBD to help her sleep and decompress.
"I'm less likely to scream and freak out that there's, you know, hot pink Play-Doh smushed into the carpet," she said. "It kind of washes away the day's stress."
So instead of having a glass of wine, at the end of the day Ms. Bernstein prefers to eat CBD gummies.
CBD gummies from Sedona Herb
"Eating a gummy it's just kind of like, you know what? She's 3, I don't have to take it personally that she's not eating my food. She's just picky right now," she said of her daughter, adding, "I don't have to sweat the small stuff."
Last year Ms. Bernstein co-founded Women's Cannabis Club in New York City, which holds events for women interested in cannabis, art, culture and science. A recent workshop, headlined by a urologist, explored how CBD can enhance one's sex life. So far the club has more than 500 followers on Instagram and an active membership of about 50 women, many of them mothers, Ms. Bernstein said. She and her co-founders are planning to create a similar club in Boston this year.
Ellie Zitsman, the mother of a 3-year-old, joined the New York club last year.
She takes CBD oil a few times a week to help her sleep better, and as an antidote to "having to be on all the time as a parent."
"I have a pretty high-stress job," said Ms. Zitsman, 33, who is the head of research and development at Van Leeuwen Ice Cream in Brooklyn — a company that debuted a CBD ice cream flavor before New York City cracked down on CBD edibles. "I have a hard time with my mind kind of settling at the end of the day."
Families in the United States face anxiety-provoking challenges, especially when juggling home life and work, researchers say. There is no federally mandated paid parental leave, no universal child care, no universal health care — the list goes on.
CBD for Pets from Sedona Herb store
That makes parenting hard in "a new, novel and increasingly frightening way," said Caitlyn Collins, an assistant professor of sociology at Washington University in St. Louis and author of the book "Making Motherhood Work: How Women Manage Careers and Caregiving. "Exhaustion, chronic stress, little exercise and free time — these have public health consequences."
Parents today also tend to spend more time working, said Dr. Elizabeth M. Fitelson,a perinatal psychiatrist and director of the Women's Program at the Columbia University Medical Center's department of psychiatry.
In addition, she said, it can sometimes seem as though "there are a million and one ways to do parenting wrong and there are plenty of people willing to tell you so."
Over the last year, she added, some of her patients have asked about CBD oil and its effectiveness for anxiety or insomnia.
"If someone tells me they're using it and it's helpful for them and it doesn't appear to be causing side effects, I'm not judgmental about it," she said. "But because we just don't know enough about it, it certainly wouldn't be anything I would recommend."
Tara-Lynn Bailey, 25, a student and the mother of two young children in Proctor, Okla., has been taking CBD oil to help calm her anxiety for about a year.
"I feel like it's just made my life easier," she said. "I don't want to call it magical," she added, but she feels "1,000 times better" when she uses it.
Dr. Blessing, who is studying the effects of CBD on PTSD, said the results of her clinical trials won't be available for years. Until more clinical trials are performed, there is only preliminary evidence to show that purified CBD can reduce anxiety, she added.
When it comes to CBD, "there are worse things, for sure," said Dr. Lucy Hutner, a reproductive psychiatrist in New York City. But, she added, if parents are feeling anxious, that can also be an opportunity to model mindful and effective ways to cope with stress for their children as an alternative to using a substance. In any case, parents need to be kind to themselves.
"We're all doing parenting in the way we do best," she said. "Nobody does it perfectly."

Going to great lengths to help Marie Curie Cancer Care
Published on 31st March 2011
9 April 2011 – it's not too late to sign up!
The world's biggest fundraising swim will take place at leisure@cheltenham, from 5pm to 8pm on Saturday 9 April 2011. So far, more than twenty people have signed up and it's not too late to register.
Swimathon 2011 is set to hit a record 580 pools across the UK between 8-10 April, when 22,000 swimmers will raise more than £2 million for Marie Curie Cancer Care and the Swimathon Foundation. Entries are via www.swimathon.org.
Activities coordinator for leisure@cheltenham, Nicky Rees, said: "I'm really excited that we are taking part in the Swimathon again after last year's success. It's fantastic to see so many people take part and fundraise for Marie Curie Cancer Care to enable terminally ill patients to have the best possible end of life care.
"We are also looking for volunteers to help with lap counting so please contact us if you are able to help on 01242 528764."
Television presenter, Gail Porter said: "Launching Swimathon this year gives me huge pleasure. The challenge is ideal motivation for everyone to pull on their swimsuits, get in the pool and enjoy a much-needed New Year health boost. I find swimming a great way to keep fit, especially as it's an activity I enjoy with my child. Going down to your local pool and getting them used to being in the water is just the start of the fun. Once my daughter was up and paddling, there was no stopping us!
"What's more - the money raised will help Marie Curie Cancer Care to provide free nursing care to terminally ill people. I know what a difference this care can make as both my mum and my grandmother died from cancer and received care at home from a Marie Curie Nurse. Caring for a loved one at the end of their life is never going to be an easy time for families but it was made much more bearable for us by the skill and care of these amazing nurses."
Swimathon President, Duncan Goodhew commented: "We are approaching a quarter of a century of Swimathons and I'm delighted to report that last year's event enjoyed an astonishing 38 per cent rise in swimmers. And what's really exciting is that around 2,500 of those who dived in told us that they only started swimming again because they entered the event. From these grass roots right up to our overflowing international trophy cabinet, it seems that Britain's love affair with swimming really is back to stay."
Funds raised by Swimathon 2011 will help support Marie Curie Nurses who provide free nursing care to people with terminal cancer and other terminal illnesses, in the place of their choice. The charity expects to care for over 29,000 terminally ill patients in the community and in its hospices this year.
Now in its 24th year, over half a million swimmers have taken part in Swimathon and have raised more than £34 million for charity.
Individual and team entries to Swimathon 2011 are open until 6 April 2011. To enter,or to sponsor a swimmer, visit www.swimathon.org or call 0845 36 700 36.

Marie Curie Cancer Care is one of the UK's largest charities.
Employing more than 2,700 nurses, doctors and other healthcare professionals, it expects to provide care to around 29,000 terminally ill patients in the community and in its hospices this year and is the largest provider of hospice beds outside the NHS.
Funding: Around 70 per cent of the charity's income comes from the generous support of thousands of individuals, membership organisations and businesses, with the balance of the funds coming from the NHS.
Marie Curie Nurses: The charity is best known for its network of Marie Curie Nurses working in the community to provide end-of-life care, totally free for patients in their own homes.
Supporting the choice to die at home: Research shows around 65 per cent of people would like to die at home if they had a terminal illness, with a sizeable minority opting for hospice care. However, more than 50 per cent of cancer deaths still occur in hospital, the place people say they would least like to be. Since 2004 Marie Curie Cancer Care has been campaigning for more patients to be able to make the choice to be cared for and die at home.
1. The Swimathon Foundation, a company limited by guarantee, is the independent registered charity which owns the annual national Swimathon event.
The Swimathon Foundation through its trading subsidiary arranges the staging and promotion of the Swimathon event in a nationwide network of participating swimming pools, to encourage members of the public, whatever their age or ability, to understand and realise the benefits of regular swimming as a means to improve health and wellbeing and to achieve personal fitness goals.
The Swimathon Foundation selects a National Charity Partner to promote itself and its charitable activities in association with the Swimathon and to receive Funds from members of the public, including those participating in the Swimathon, in support of its activities. For the 2011 Swimathon the selected Charity is Marie Curie Cancer Care.
In addition, The Swimathon Foundation aims to support local communities in their efforts to promote the benefits of physical activity, particularly through swimming.
2. The 50% discount applies to Distance Challenge Swimathon entry fees paid online or telephone between 4 January and 31 January 2011 only.

Singer Gwen Stefani filed has filed a petition for divorce from her husband of 12 years, Gavin Rossdale.
Best known as the singer for No Doubt, Gwen enjoyed solo success with her triple platinum album 'Love. Angel. Music. Baby.' before reuniting with the band in 2008. She toured in support of Gavin's band Bush in 1995. The singers married each other in 2002.
They shared over 12 years together as a married couple and had three children together during that time. In a recent Cosmopolitan interview, Gwen said she thought that when people can be themselves and have their own individuality that is what keeps a relationship going.
It is possible that the success of their relationship for 12 years can be partially attributed to the creative roles in their respective bands allowing them to both express themselves. But what broke the couple up?
Perhaps the break up is due to the pressures of touring and the time spent apart. It has been reported that Gwen wanted to divorce Gavin because she believed he was being unfaithful. In the actual divorce papers, Gwen cites 'irreconcilable differences' as the legal ground for divorce. Irreconcilable differences are when a couple who were married in America have such big differences that their relationship no longer works.
In UK law 'irretrievable breakdown' is the sole ground for divorce. Evidence must be presented to show that irretrievable breakdown has occurred.
Adultery is one of the five facts that can be used as evidence of irretrievable breakdown along with two years separation with consent, five years separation and desertion. The most common fact that can be used as evidence of irretrievable breakdown is unreasonable behaviour. This is when your spouse has behaved in such a way that you cannot reasonably be expected to live with them.
Despite the rock star couple citing irreconcilable differences in their relationship they remain committed parents. In a joint statement they said, "We remain partners in parenthood and are committed to jointly raising our three sons in a happy and healthy environment." This follows the news that fellow celebrity couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner put their children first in divorce.
Both celebrity couples are providing a positive example by setting out their plans for both the mother and father to continue seeing the children regularly. They have considered the children's best interests in both requesting privacy and confirming their continued commitment to parenthood.
Slater and Gordon Lawyers offer expert advice about divorce and can assist you with any queries regarding arrangements for your children. To speak with a Family Lawyer call freephone 0800 916 9055 or contact us online and we will call you back at a time that suits you.

What does an employment attorney do?
Employment attorneys represent workers, companies, unions, and advocacy groups. Their primary job is preventing and resolving disputes related to state and federal employment regulations as well as civil rights. They assist with the development of policies, including laws and employee handbooks, and they represent clients in court and during administrative hearings overseen by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and state-level labor agencies.
How much should I ask for in a discrimination lawsuit?
Employment-related claims are among the most complex and time-consuming lawsuits heard in the civil court system. Before workers can file a lawsuit, they must file a claim with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Every year, the EEOC recovers $505 million for victims of workplace discrimination. When cases proceed to court, the average settlement is approximately $40,000. However, roughly 10% of claimants receive at least $1 million.
How do I prove discrimination in the workplace?
Discrimination lawsuits are typically based on an established pattern of behavior in the workplace. Employment attorneys who handle these claims generally advise clients to gather evidence and document all instances of discrimination, harassment, or abuse, as they occur. The following documents are often vital for proving workplace discrimination:
Payroll records
Diary or journal entries
Medical or mental health records
Reports from witnesses
Photos or video footage
Physical evidence
Can I sue my company for a hostile work environment?
Yes, offensive or unwelcome conduct that creates a hostile work environment and affects your terms of employment may give you reason to take legal action. However, rude or abusive behavior on its own isn't illegal. It must also be tied to other legal issues, such as retaliation for reporting harassment or discrimination directed at members of a protected group.
What is the EEOC?
The EEOC is the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. It's a federal agency tasked with helping to enforce laws concerning discrimination in the workplace. Not all employers are covered under the EEOC. Typically, you have to work for an organization with at least 15 employees or for a labor union or agency to be covered by EEOC protections.
How do I report an abusive boss?
If you believe you're being discriminated against, you have several options. First, follow internal reporting procedures with human resources or other leadership. You can also file a charge of discrimination with the EEOC. Talking to an employment attorney can help you understand your options and protect your interests.
What laws protect employees from job discrimination?
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 provides employees with protection against discrimination based on a wide variety of factors, including national origin, sex, religion, race, and color.
The Age Discrimination Act of 1967 applies age to the protected class.
The Equal Pay Act of 1963 forbids sex-based compensation discrimination.
The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 makes it illegal to discriminate on the grounds of disability in terms of employment decisions.
The Civil Rights Act of 1991 adds more protection and power to the federal government to enforce some of these laws.
How do I file a wrongful termination claim?
You can file a wrongful termination claim with the EEOC online, via mail, or in person at various EEOC branch offices. You may be able to file a complaint with a state agency. To determine an appropriate plan of action and which organizations you can file with, speak to an employment lawyer.
What is unfair treatment at work?
Unfair treatment is not the same as unlawful treatment. There aren't laws against unfair treatment, which can include a boss who generally bullies people into action or someone who doesn't make fair decisions about time off because of nepotism or mood. Such issues may not constitute a claim for a court argument or allegation, unlike unjust judgments made on the grounds of race or age. An employment attorney can clarify if unfair treatment is also unlawful.
What are some workers\' rights related to injury and illness?
Employees have a variety of rights related to time off if they're injured or fall ill. For example, in workplaces covered by the Federal Medical Leave Act, workers are allowed to take up to 12 weeks off without losing their position in a company. The leave is unpaid unless PTO time can be used to cover it. Employees may also have rights to file a workers' comp claim if they're injured on the job. All of these laws cover different situations and types of employers, and an employment attorney can help you understand what rights you have.
Can an employer force you to work?
This is a gray area in some cases, which is why it may be a good idea to consult an employment lawyer if you have concerns about your workplace. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration , workers have a right to refuse to work in dangerous situations. But the burden of proof that this is, in fact, the case, can weigh heavily on the employee.

The World Bank has agreed to provide additional loan assistance of Rs5.94 billion ($55 million) to Nepal for the implementation of the Road Sector Development Project (RSDP) which has been running since 2008.
The project has three components—road and bridge development, institutional strengthening and project implementation support and resilience enhancements.
During the project period, 21 different activities will be carried out. The final outcomes of the project include all-season road access, reduced travel time and improved access to economic centres and social services in 31 beneficiary districts.
The project will upgrade about 700 km of the existing dry-season roads and carry out periodic maintenance of about 2,550 km of selected strategic roads. The construction of 33 bridges on selected roads of the strategic roads network and the replacement of three earthquake-affected bridges with permanent structures are also major activities of the project, the Finance Ministry said in a statement.
The project will also do a technical audit of the civil works and the maintenance of 355 bridges affected by the devastating earthquake last year. The Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport will be the executing agency and the Department of Roads will be responsible for implementing the project. Baikuntha Aryal, joint secretary, International Economic Cooperation Coordination Division, Ministry of Finance, and Takuya Kamata, country manager, World Bank, Nepal Country Office, signed the financing agreement on Monday at the ministry.
The government has expressed sincere appreciation to the World Bank for its support in the socio-economic development of Nepal.

Jo Woolf of South Bucks Hospice: Why our new hospice is so important
Nurses try a little dancing in wellies at the new hospice site
With under a year to go until the opening of a hospice with a radically-different approach, Jo Woolf, CEO of South Bucks Hospice, explains why this is so important
If ever I question myself over why we are spending millions on a new hospice, I only have to turn to the letter from a terminally-ill mother who passed away this year. The profoundly-moving personal message from the woman in her early 40s - who asked for it to be only opened after her death - stays constantly on my desk and keeps me sane and focused.
It is titled simply 'What a mother would hope for with terminal cancer', and talks about how her three young children will cope after her death. The letter tells of her sadness about not being part of the journey to support her young ones in the major moments of their lives.
It was the fact that she would not be there on wedding days or at the birth of grandchildren to ease their anxiety that she said 'tore my heart apart'. Therefore, if a hospice could have extended care that her children could use, and dip in and out of, at their most vulnerable times 'this would be amazing', she wrote.
The mother wanted to know that her children would have continual support in their journey to adulthood - and always have a 'grounded place to come and talk and not have to start again and tell new people their history'.
She added: "A hospice that provided that place to go where you were known would give me peace of mind."
Sadly, she has now died, but her legacy lives on in her family – and indeed in her selfless letter which is a constant spur to me and my team. It is our mission to make the dream of her vision a reality, and we are well on the way to doing this in the shape of our new hospice which opens in May 2017 in Totteridge, High Wycombe.
Help where it's needed
But, I hear you ask, why is our hospice different to other institutions? Yes, it may be bigger and more high-tech, but will it really offer something new? I believe it will. While major strides have been made in clinical treatment plans over the past decade, there still remains a severe lack of care for the psychological impact of a terminal diagnosis.
I understand the norm in some places is six to 24 sessions of counselling and then the patient, if needs be, is referred elsewhere. But at our hospice, the arrangement is open-ended.
Sessions at South Bucks Hospice are reviewed every six weeks but the decision on whether to continue is made jointly by patient and therapist. This means patients have the security of knowing they have a service they are familiar with and trust for as long as they need it. And remember, counselling is not only for the patient; it's for the carer and family, such as the children of the woman who wrote me the letter.
But, I hear you question me again, if we are doing such a good job at the moment, why do we need a new hospice? Our current day hospice in Amersham Road, High Wycombe has been enormously successful, but we need to move to a far bigger building to meet the demands of a growing and rapidly-ageing population.
We are the only palliative day hospice in South Bucks and serve over 320,000 people, a significant number of whom will be over the age of 80 before the end of the decade. We have worked our socks off to raise £3.8million towards our £4.8 target. But just building and moving into the bigger hospice is not enough – we have to be different in the way we treat people nearing the end of their lives.
To my mind, it's imperative to have a different approach and attitude to addressing questions that need to be asked in order to support people to manage their life and death. Death is a deeply personal journey each individual approaches in a unique way, but far too many are denied final wishes of being allowed to die at home.
South Bucks Hospice enables a patient, who might otherwise need a bed in an institution, to spend their last days in their own home with family and friends, if that is what they want.
Our day hospice allows people to manage their life, and their death, in the way they prefer – and in many cases this is at home with their family. We offer expert palliative rehabilitative care and we are the catalyst for change. All too often, patients and their families leave too much to chance, but our services are proven to help people plan ahead and come to terms with their illnesses.
Space to grow
Our 15,000 square foot new hospice will put all of our services under one roof, and also allow us room to expand capacity. We will also have the space to facilitate young adults (17-28) with life limiting illnesses. By the middle of 2018 we will have over 650 – 800 people a month using our new building.
The powerful benefits of psychotherapeutic support should not be underestimated, as the state of one's mind and heart conditions everything. The clinical care is vastly more effective on patients who have psychological support, than on those who are wracked with anxiety, or other forms of emotional and mental distress. We should be treating depression and emotional distress as systematically as we do the management of pain, and then we will be treating the whole person.
The sheer scale of numbers of people needing our support requires us to be both courageous and compassionate in helping people to manage relationships, families, planning ahead, spirituality and bereavement.
It must also be stressed that hospices are not all about end-of-life care. We also help seriously-ill people to rebuild their lives and come to terms with life-changing conditions. But our expert staff are also there to help meet challenges in the darkest days.
And, if you don't believe in my mission, listen to the words of the terminally-ill mother. She asked for her views to be shared openly after her death. Her letter called for 'a hospice that extends care beyond an hour counselling session after the age of 18…. 'where worries, events and support can be tracked' – a place where her children may even grow up with others with shared experiences.
It adds: "…if a hospice had a purpose-built building that a family could access when needed as a family grew and progressed through life, it would save a lot of repeat and wasted time. It would be more efficient."
Her words, not mine. But this is our vision too now.

After playing out a 0-0 draw, the two sides will meet again in ten days to find a victor.
The Kilmarnock boss was disappointed in Gerrard for accusing him of making a classless attempt to get Jermain Defoe banned from today's Scottish Cup showdown at Rugby Park.
"I made a wide-ranging amount of comments about consistency and I've been consistent in asking for that since August". We will go and have a little chat, like I do with all the managers that come here.
Indeed, he's been quick at every chance to jump to the defence to our players and in the latest move to add someone to his list of annoyed managers, Steve Clarke is now ruffled.
Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has told Sky Sports that he'll be "interested to see" if the Scottish FA's Compliance Officer takes action against Alan Power following his horror challenge on Ryan Jack.
The Kilmarnock midfielder was booked after kicking Jack in the side of the head - with Gerrard refusing to comment on whether it merited a red card.
three-game ban for violent conduct, Gerrard is looking for "consistency" from the governing body. "But I'll be interested to see whether there's a citing".
On his own club's dealings with the SFA disciplinary process, Gerrard said: "I just hope that moving forward we can find some consistency, that's all I can say really".


Photos of the body of a newborn baby boy that was found dumped at a refuse site in Awka, the Anambra State capital allegedly by Nnamdi Azikiwe University students has surfaced online.
According to the Facebook user, Ezulike Chukwunonso Forwardever, who shared the report and photos online, the baby was dumped in an ASWAMA trash can around De Lusso lodge in Ifite, an area in Awka populated by students of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University.

Make no mistake that a breakfast sandwich from any fast food joint is not so much fuel to start the day, but more like a boulder of grease and salt that you're chained to for the rest of the morning (and probably into the early afternoon). It's something that should be consumed sparingly, reserved for hangovers or a post-workout treat.
But on a recent morning at The Star we ate two to three of them in one sitting, in the name of research.
Riding high from the success of the plant-based Beyond Meat Burger introduced last year (our restaurant critic Amy Pataki gave it a thumbs-up), this month burger chain A&W added plant-based breakfast sandwiches to its menu consisting of a Beyond Sausage patty that aims to replicate the taste and texture of a pork sausage patty. Wondering if this veggie sausage can meet (or meat?) the fatty, salty deliciousness of a regular breakfast sandwich, I asked A&W to send over a few sandwiches for a taste test.
The sausage patties are made by Beyond Meat, the same California-based company behind the Beyond Meat Burger, and is the latest example of the growing plant-based dining trend among consumers who want to eat less meat, but aren't strictly vegan or vegetarian. The Beyond Meat Sausage and Egger comes with a fried egg and a slice of cheddar on an English muffin. There's also a vegan version where the patty is sandwiched alongside lettuce and a slice of tomato. But A&W states on its website that the Beyond Meat patties are cooked on the same grill as the meat patties, so cross-contamination is a very likely possibility.
At first glance, the Beyond Sausage patty is slightly thicker than its meat counterpart with a more uniform puck shape. Other than that it has the similar occasional red pepper flake you'd find in a breakfast sausage patty and greyish-brown colour. Texture-wise it's pretty similar to sausage but has a slightly spongier mouthfeel akin to seitan, another popular meat substitute. As for the taste, it has the same slightly peppery and very salty flavour one expects in a breakfast sausage. A&W also sent us their meat versions to compare, which I don't regret eating for the purpose of this article, but kind of regret because I was ready to go to bed by lunchtime.
Once I sent out the email to my colleagues that there are free breakfast sandwiches to be had in the test kitchen, the feedback started pouring in. Overall, it was positive.
"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have know this wasn't meat," says business reporter Josh Rubin. Deputy entertainment editor Debra Yeo says the texture is pretty close to pork sausage and says she'll buy it. A rep for A&W tells me that the Beyond Sausage sandwich costs a dollar more than the meat version.
Going plant-based doesn't automatically mean a healthier diet. Nutritional info on A&W's site shows that the meat and meatless sausage and egg sandwiches are fairly similar. The Beyond Meat Sausage and Egger has 540 calories, 33g of fat, 28g of protein and 680mg of sodium whereas the regular Sausage and Egger sandwich has 530 calories, 34g of fat, 24g of protein and 720mg of sodium.
So the Beyond Sausage sandwich does, for the most part, successfully mimic the eat-now-regret-later goodness of a regular breakfast sandwich, but don't think of it as a healthier alternative. Consider this as a move towards egalitarianism as everyone can now indulge in the trashy delightfulness of this hangover treat.

Yaprak Dökümü continues! An ATV series finalizes this week!
Categories Series News
With the new season, new TV series are starting, and the strings of the TV series that are left from the summer and whose ratings are low, are pulled one by one. The last ATV series affected by Furya was İkimizin Sırrı. The series will bid farewell to the screens with its last episode to be aired this week.
The screens are in a race right now. While old popular TV series come to the screen with new episodes, new TV series with first episodes, summer series with bad ratings are coming to an end one by one. Next is İkimizin Sırrı, which was broadcast on ATV and came to the screen with a big claim.
The story of the series, starring two young actors, Aras Aydın and Leyla Feray, bears the signature of a very powerful pen, the award-winning novelist Özen Yula. Despite its low ratings, the series, which has a unique audience, could not achieve the desired success despite its impressive narration and beautiful story.
Unfortunately, the final decision has been made recently about the series İkimiz Sırrı, which has a certain audience with its naive story. The decision made the audience very upset. However, these days when there was such a fierce struggle for ratings, it did not seem possible for the series to survive.
The series had an extremely heavy subject, unlike other summer series with colorful and chirpy stories. ATV expected the same result for İkimizin Sırrı, after another series with a heavy subject, Kalp Yarası, got very good results in the ratings, but the expectation did not come true.
İkimizin Sırrı series will bid farewell to the screens with its 10th episode, which will be broadcast on Sunday, October 10th. Let's see what point Neva and Alp's relationship will reach in the final episode.

The type of shoes is very important in determining whether it can match outfit. If you could choose pumps, their one type of shoe that could easily go with almost any outfit regardless of the occasion. You can easily enhance your personal appeal to going for pumps because they make the person wearing them to have a classic look. You can be able to wear pumps with formal dresses, pantsuits, pencil skirts and skinny jeans. Bare legged outfits can easily go with peep toes. Summer outfits can easily go well sandals. Boots are advisable if you intend to wear winter clothing. In the case where you are wearing sportswear, there is no better choice of shoes that sneakers.
A huge factor of determination when it comes to the appropriate shoes will come to the color of the outfit. It is a general rule that if a certain color is present in your outfit then it can be replicated in your shoes. This however does not mean that the colors in your shoes and your outfit are exactly the same but they should be complimenting in nature. This therefore means that if the color of the outfit is not in your shoes, you can still use the matching values to be able to come up with the presentable look.
You should also put into consideration the season in which you are in before selecting the shoes that can go with the outfit that you intend to wear. You want the easy way out, then consider multi-seasonal shoes which can easily go with any seasonal variations; a good example being leather pumps. The type of whether not only determines the practicability of a particular shoe going with a particular outfit but also, the style that can be convenient for you at that time.
Another thing that you need to ensure before choosing certain shoes is the occasion that you are wearing for. If a particular occasion will have a lot of walking, then you avoid wearing heels. A formal occasion will be a good time to wear heels as no much walking will be required.


The United States and its western allies are now "playing catch-up" against adversaries such as Russia and China after more than a decade and a half of focusing on counterterrorism operations, according to the State Department's point man on Europe.
Speaking Wednesday at a conference hosted by the Institute for the Study of War, Wess Mitchell, who oversees the State Department's Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, said U.S. policy up until this year has largely neglected the return to strategic competition.
"Unfortunately, I think we have been in a period of big power competition for some time, but I don't think that the United States has prepared itself for that adequately," Mitchell said.
"I don't think we have—and much of the Western world has—acted on the basis of an assumption that we're part of a big power competition, but our competitors have been planning and acting on the basis of a big power competition and so I think we're playing catch-up."
Mitchell endorsed the Trump administration's National Defense Strategy released in January, which declared a decisive policy shift away from terrorism and toward great power competition with "revisionist powers" such as Russia and China. Upon releasing the document, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis warned that U.S. military advantages have "eroded" in every domain of warfare.
Though a decade of budget cuts, sequestration, and the inability of Congress to pass long-term budgets has contributed to the erosion, Mitchell said so, too, has the inability to recognize the reemergence of great power conflict.
"The arctic is a great example of where the West is now playing catch-up and where, in this case, the Russian Federation was early in recognizing the resource potential of the arctic long-term and treated it as a strategic theater," he said.
Despite the lag, Mitchell said the United States and its allies are now "very well awake to the fact that Vladimir Putin is serious" and are "rapidly catching up to the techniques and intentions" of the Kremlin.

"Testing of a Design for Client Evaluation of a Conciliation Service" by James A. Dudley, James C. Euler et al.
Marriage counseling -- Oregon, Oregon Circuit Court (Multnomah County), Family Consulting Services and Conciliation Court.
This study is an attempt to develop, design, and implement procedures for better data collection in the future and for an evaluation of the services provided in the past.
Conciliation Courts have developed across the country on the notion that case work services can, at best, save a marriage from divorce and, at least, can do no harm. Evaluation of the effectiveness of conciliation services is limited and contradictory.
This practicum is an attempt to develop a research design which can measure the effectiveness of conciliation service. We consider the first priority to develop a workable design which will insure response. A second priority, which will hopefully be developed next, is a value system which will give us data concerning what is effectiveness and which kinds of things need to be and can be measured by a client feedback system .
This is a group practicum submitted to Portland State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Social Work.

Russia's first Senior Arctic Officials' meeting strengthened connections between people and regions of the Arctic
The first Senior Arctic Officials' (SAO) plenary meeting during the Russian Chairmanship has just concluded in Salekhard and on screens across Arctic States and Observer countries. The Russian Federation hosted around 180 registered delegates from the eight Arctic States and six Indigenous Permanent Participant organizations, as well as the Arctic Council's six Working Groups and over thirty Observers in a hybrid meeting format.
The meeting gave Arctic Council delegates the opportunity to discuss and advance on topics common to both the Chairmanship program of the Russian Federation and the Arctic Council's 10-year Strategic Plan. Topics included Indigenous and regional cooperation; a review of ongoing Arctic Council projects, sustainable socio-economic development; and youth cooperation.
Indigenous and regional cooperation
Enhancing cooperation between Arctic regions and people, especially Indigenous Peoples, is one of the actions outlined in the Council's Strategic Plan and a priority of the Russian Chairmanship. The Chairmanship therefore engaged delegates in a dialogue on regional and people-to-people cooperation and invited among other speakers its appointed Special Envoy for Indigenous and Regional Cooperation, Mikhail Pogodaev, to give an overview of his mandate and future work in support of the Chairmanship. Upcoming initiatives include an extended events program, as well as a series of special reports that will highlight both challenges and best practice examples from Arctic regions.
Advancing towards the goals of the Council's Strategic Plan
A substantial part of the meeting was dedicated to the ongoing and emerging projects of the six Arctic Council Working Groups and the Expert Group on Black Carbon and Methane. They presented the progress of their project portfolios and demonstrated how they collaboratively are addressing cross-cutting issues in the Arctic, including wildfires, climate change impacts on Arctic ecosystems, and health issues affecting Indigenous Peoples and other Arctic inhabitants.
«This meeting yet again showcased that the Working Groups are the driving engine of the Council's work. Projects working on mitigating and adapting to climate change, ensuring sustainable development economic development in the Arctic, exploring emerging threats including zoonoses, digitalizing the linguistic and cultural heritage of Indigenous Peoples, advancing Arctic Resilience towards the impacts of permafrost thaw, evaluating ship traffic in the Northern Sea Route — to just name a few — are already contributing to core actions of the Council's Strategic Plan,» stated Ambassador Nikolay Korchunov, Chair of the Senior Arctic Officials.
Sustainable socio-economic development in the Arctic
The meeting in Salekhard also brought together representatives of the Arctic Council and the Arctic Economic Council for a special session. This was the second time delegates of both Councils met since signing a bilateral Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and were able to discuss the key areas of cooperation outlined in the MoU, including sustainable economic development, blue economy, maritime safety, as well as education and capacity building. Delegates emphasized the need to further explore the synergies between the Councils' respective working groups to enhance opportunities for future collaboration while respecting the rights of Indigenous Peoples.
Youth cooperation
Another important discussion item was the Council's strong support for fostering sustainable and meaningful collaboration and engagement between youth and the Arctic Council. This commitment is reflected in the Council's Strategic Plan and a dedicated thematic cluster on youth in the Chairmanship program of the Russian Federation. In Salekhard the discussion on youth engagement was introduced by the Chairmanship's Youth Envoy for International Cooperation in the Arctic, Mikhail Uksusov, who spoke on youth-related issues in the Arctic and the need to further the potential of Arctic youth. In addition, Ekaterina Evay, RAIPON's Indigenous Youth Envoy, outlined a series of youth-related Chairmanship events that will provide a platform and facilitate a shared leadership paradigm within the Arctic context.
The delegates were welcomed by the Governor of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Region, who was pleased to share an insight to the region, its people, and their ways of life and emphasized the importance to foster a dialogue between people in the Arctic.
The meeting included a cultural program that introduced participants to the traditional livelihoods and cultures of the Indigenous Peoples of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Region. Participants were also offered a tasting of northern food prepared by Indigenous youth living in the reindeer herding regions of the Arctic during a reception hosted by the project «EALLU: Indigenous Youth Food Knowledge and Arctic Change» led by the Association of World Reindeer Herders under the Council's Sustainable Development Working Group.
Next meeting and upcoming events
The next Senior Arctic Officials plenary meeting will take place in Arkhangelsk in May 2022. In the meantime, the Russian Chairmanship's extended event program will continue, including the Young Leaders of the Arctic Council Countries ICE in Salekhard 6-9 December and an Arctic Food Festival in Moscow on 10-11 December.

Schema Evolution

              Rules for Changing Schema

              Writer and Reader Schema

              How Schema Evolution Works

            Schema evolution is the term used for how
            the store behaves when Avro schema is changed after data has
            been written to the store using an older version of that
            schema. To change an existing schema, you update the schema
            as stored in its flat-text file, then add the new schema to the
            store using the ddl add-schema command with
            the -evolve flag.

            For example, if a middle name property is added to the FullName
            schema, it might be stored in a file named
            schema2.avsc, and then added to the store
            using the ddl add-schema command.

            Note that when you change schema, the new field must be given a
            default value. This prevents errors when clients using an old
            version of the schema create new values that will be missing
            the new field:

{
   "type": "record",
   "namespace": "com.example",
   "name": "FullName",
   "fields": [
     { "name": "first", "type": "string" },
     { "name": "middle", "type": "string", "default": "" },
     { "name": "last", "type": "string" }
   ]
 }

            These are the modifications you can safely
            perform to your schema without any concerns:

                    A field with a default value is added.

                    A field that was previously defined with a default
                    value is removed.

                    A field's doc attribute is changed, added or
                    removed.

                    A field's order attribute is changed, added or
                    removed.

                    A field's default value is added, or changed.

                    Field or type aliases are added, or removed.

                    A non-union type may be changed to a union that
                    contains only the original type, or vice-versa.

            Beyond these kind of changes, there are unsafe changes that you
            can do which will either cause the schema to be rejected when
            you attempt to add it to the store, or which can be performed
            so long as you are careful about how you go about upgrading
            clients which use the schema. These type of issues are
            identified when you try to modify (evolve) schema that is
            currently enabled in the store. See
            Changing Schema
            for details.

Rules for Changing Schema

                There are a few rules you need to remember if you are
                modifying schema that is already in use in your store:

                        For best results, always provide a default value
                        for the fields in your schema. This makes it
                        possible to delete fields later on if you decide it
                        is necessary. If you do not provide a
                            default value for a field, you cannot delete
                            that field from your schema.

                        You cannot change a field's data type. If you have
                        decided that a field should be some data type other
                        than what it was originally created using, then add
                        a whole new field to your schema that uses the
                        appropriate data type.

                        When adding a field to your schema, you must
                        provide a default value for the field.

                        You cannot rename an existing field. However, if
                        you want to access the field by some name other
                        than what it was originally created using, add and
                        use aliases for the field.

Writer and Reader Schema

                When a schema is changed, multiple versions of the schema will
                exist and be maintained by the store. The version of the schema
                used to serialize a value, before writing it to the store, is
                called the writer schema. The writer
                schema is specified by the application when creating a binding.
                It is associated with the value when calling the binding's
                AvroBinding.toValue() method to
                serialize the data. This writer schema is associated internally
                with every stored value.

                The reader schema is used to
                deserialize a value after reading it from the store. Like
                the writer schema, the reader schema is specified by the
                client application when creating a binding. It is used to
                deserialize the data when calling the binding's
                AvroBinding.toObject() method,
                after reading a value from the store.

How Schema Evolution Works

                Schema evolution is the automatic transformation of Avro
                schema. This transformation is between the version of the
                schema that the client is using (its local copy), and what
                is currently contained in the store.  When the local copy
                of the schema is not identical to the schema used to write the
                value (that is, when the reader schema is different from
                the writer schema), this data transformation is performed.
                When the reader schema matches the schema used to write the
                value, no transformation is necessary.

                Schema evolution is applied only during deserialization.
                If the reader schema is different from the value's writer
                schema, then the value is automatically modified during
                deserialization to conform to the reader schema. To do
                this, default values are used.

                There are two cases to consider when using schema
                evolution: when you add a field and when you delete a
                field. Schema evolution takes care of both scenarios, so
                long as you originally assigned default values to the
                fields that were deleted, and assigned default values to
                the fields that were added.

Adding Fields

                    Suppose you had the following schema:

{
    "type" : "record",
    "name" : "userInfo",
    "namespace" : "my.example",
    "fields" : [{"name" : "name", "type" : "string", "default" : ""}]
}

                    In version 2 of the schema, you add a field:

{
    "type" : "record",
    "name" : "userInfo",
    "namespace" : "my.example",
    "fields" : [{"name" : "name", "type" : "string", "default" : ""},
                {"name" : "age", "type" : "int" , "default" : -1}]

}

                    In this scenario, a client that is using the new schema
                    can deserialize a value that uses the old schema, even
                    though the age field will be missing from the value.
                    Upon deserialization, the value retrieved from the
                    store will be automatically transformed such that the
                    age field is contained in the value. The age field will
                    be set to the default value, which is -1 in this case.

                    The reverse also works. A client that is using the old
                    version of the schema attempts can deserialize a value
                    that was written using the new version of the schema.
                    In this case, the value retrieved from the store
                    contains the age field, which from the client
                    perspective is unexpected. So upon deserialization the
                    age field is automatically removed from the retrieved
                    object.

                    This has ramifications if you change your schema, and
                    then have clients concurrently running that are using
                    different schema versions. This scenario is not unusual
                    in a large, distributed system of the type that Oracle NoSQL Database
                    supports.

                    In this scenario, you might see fields revert to their
                    default value, even though no client has explicitly
                    touched those fields. This can happen in the following
                    way:

                            Client v.2 creates a my.example.userInfo
                            record, and sets the age field to 38. Then it
                            writes that value to the store. Client v.2 is
                            using schema version 2.

                            Client v.1 reads the record. It is using
                            version 1 of the schema, so the age field is
                            automatically removed from the value during
                            deserialization.

                            Client v.1 modifies the name field and then
                            writes the record back to the store. When it
                            does this, the age field is missing from the
                            value that it writes to the store.

                            Client v.2 reads the record again. Because the
                            age field is missing from the record (because
                            Client v.1 last wrote it), the age field is set
                            to the default value, which is -1. This means
                            that the value of the age field has reverted to
                            the default, even though no client explicitly
                            modified it.

Deleting Fields

                    Field deletion works largely the same way as field
                    addition, with the same concern for field values
                    automatically reverting to the default. Suppose you had
                    the following trivial schema:

{
    "type" : "record",
    "name" : "userInfo",
    "namespace" : "my.example",
    "fields" : [{"name" : "name", "type" : "string", "default" : ""},
                {"name" : "age", "type" : "int" , "default" : -1}]

}

                    In version 2 of the schema, you delete the age field:

{
    "type" : "record",
    "name" : "userInfo",
    "namespace" : "my.example",
    "fields" : [{"name" : "name", "type" : "string", "default" : ""}]
}

                    In this scenario, a client that is using the new schema
                    can deserialize a value that uses the old schema, even
                    though the age field is contained in that value. In
                    this case, the age field is silently removed from the
                    value during deserialization.

                    Further, a client that is using the old
                    version of the schema attempts can deserialize a value that
                    uses the new version of the schema. In this case, the value
                    retrieved from the store does not contain the age
                    field. So upon deserialization, the age field is
                    automatically inserted into the schema (because the
                    reader schema requires it) and the default value is
                    used for the newly inserted field.

                    As with adding fields, this has ramifications if you
                    change your schema, and then have clients concurrently
                    running that are using different schema versions.

                            Client v.1 creates a my.example.userInfo
                            record, and sets the age field to 38. Then it
                            writes that value to the store. Client v.1 is
                            using schema version 1.

                            Client v.2 reads the record. It is using
                            version 2 of the schema, so it is not expecting
                            the age field. As a result, the age field is
                            automatically stripped from the value during
                            deserialization.

                            Client v.2 modifies the name field and then
                            writes the record back to the store. When it
                            does this, the age field is missing from the
                            value that it writes to the store.

                            Client v.1 reads the record again. Because the
                            age field is missing from the record (because
                            Client v.2 last wrote it), the age field is
                            automatically inserted into the value, using
                            the default of -1. This means that the value of
                            the age field has reverted to the default, even
                            though no client explicitly modified it.

About Nags Head
Set on North Carolina's Outer Banks, Nags Head is a laid-back beach town fringed with golden sand. Spend your days hang gliding over sand dunes, strolling through salt marshes and beachcombing along the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
Things to do in Nags Head
Nags Head is all about sun, sand and summer vibes. Beachgoers make a beeline for Jennette's Pier, where you can swim, surf or sunbathe. Keep an eye out for dolphins frolicking just offshore.
Nags Head is also known for the enormous sand dunes that rise above Jockey's Ridge State Park. A wooden boardwalk winds through the park and showcases its local flora, fauna and salt marshes. It's also a launching pad for hang gliding adventures.
Set on a windswept peninsula, Bodie Island Lighthouse offers sweeping views over the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The black-and-white striped lighthouse was built in the 1870s and offers tour the Keepers Quarters. You can also climb 200 steps to the top of the lighthouse for panoramic coastal vistas.
Outer Banks is perfect for casting a line from the beach, fishing off the pier or signing up for a guided deep-sea charter. The region is coveted as the "Billfish Capital of the World", which means you have the chance to reel in monster-sized bluefish and marlin.

The Surgical Planning Lab (SPL) at Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston, MA has implemented Xythos Software's WebFile Server (WFS) in an attempt to simplify how doctors and clinicians review and exchange files while protecting confidential medical data throughout the collaborative process. It is expected that clinical and research collaborators within the departments of Radiology and Neurosurgery at Brigham & Women's Hospital will be among the first to benefit from the SPL's Xythos implementation. Hospital employees and collaborators regularly use Xythos to provide secure and controlled access to information including collections of large medical image files, imaging and visualization software packages, and grant documents.
Xythos has also just published new resources to assist organizations seeking to improve their compliance capabilities. In addition to a case study reviewing the Surgical Planning Lab's Xythos implementation, the company is releasing a new white paper, "Internet File Management and HIPAA - A Practical Approach towards Responding to the Privacy Regulation of the Act." This paper documents how Internet standards including WebDAV, SSL, and HTTP can be used to provide a successful foundation for compliance solutions.
