Is the Green Rush Over?
By Brian Mitchell
Ever since California legalized medical use of cannabis in 1996, entrepreneurial people and people with money have been looking to turn the cannabis trade into a bonafide industry. The cannabis Green Rush has been a fast and chaotic ride as growing legalization opened myriad opportunities. It seemed for a while that pot was too big to fail.
Yet the second quarter of this year saw the majority of publicly traded cannabis companies recording double-digit losses (with 10 top cannabis stocks with a combined value of $55 billion losing an estimated $21 billion in collective value). Meanwhile, some of the industry's most recognizable brands are under pressure to cut costs in favor of demonstrable profitability. It is clear that investors have become leery of inflated and unsustainable valuations.
But pot is still too big to fail.

Polls show an ever-growing majority of Americans believe cannabis should be legal, and the number of states with legal weed continues to grow. The state-sanctioned market will reach nearly $13 billion in sales this year, according to BDS Analytics, with about a quarter in California, the largest, most mature legal market in the world. Total U.S. sales are on track to reach $30 billion by 2024. Legal cannabis remains the biggest investment opportunity of our times, but the Green Rush may be over. And that's a good thing.
Get over the "green rush" mentality
From the Gold Rush to the Dot Com Boom, great opportunities have tended to create irrational mobs. Have you ever watched a group of Black Friday shoppers? In a frenzy, you often do not stop to evaluate if something is a bargain or if you even need the item. In the investment world, that type of frenzy leads to bubbles. When the Dot Com bubble burst in 2000, almost half the industry's rising tech companies shuttered their doors, and an estimated $4-6 trillion in shareholder wealth vanished.
A similar thing is happening in cannabis.
The end of the Green Rush means we can now focus on safeguarding cannabis' future, and not pillaging it for a quick profit.Growing legalization has created an influx of capital, but much of the early institutional money and retail investors went to Canada, where the absence of a federal prohibition allowed for a robust financial market to flourish. Canopy Growth Corp. was the first large-cap cannabis company to go public in 2016, followed by other large licensed producers or LPs. Because they are not violating U.S. laws, Canadian cannabis companies were able to uplist to the NASDAQ and NYSE as well.
American cannabis companies on the other hand – unable to freely tap capital markets at home, flooded Bay Street looking to go public on the Canadian Securities Exchange, and the rush went on hyperdrive. Soon market caps became grossly inflated, and too many cannabis companies that were barely showing profit took big gambles with other people's money. Now, those investors are paying the price.
But a burst bubble is a good thing. It is a correction that forces companies to focus on priorities and fundamentals, and cannabis is no different. The end of the Green Rush is the start of a real industry with surviving operators becoming even stronger, less reliant on speculation and more focused on performance.
There will always be companies going public to create liquidity, and there will always be venture funding at the ready for any promising new startup. But cannabis will only survive if companies focus less on raising money and more on actually running their businesses.
Cannabis is creating unprecedented cultural and lifestyle shifts. It's helping shape how people assess, diagnose and treat a broad span of health and wellness issues. Cannabis is helping to break the barriers of opioid addiction, and it's even beginning to rival the alcohol industry. One out of every five beer drinkers in a Nielsen Market Insights report said they will spend less on store-bought beer due to consuming cannabis. Among the 65 percent of people who purchased over-the-counter drugs for pain relief, 35 percent said they will consider cannabis as a substitute.
The end of the Green Rush means we can now focus on safeguarding cannabis' future, and not pillaging it for a quick profit.
Branding for Cannabis Companies 101: Part 2
By Jennifer Whetzel
Editor's Note: In Part 1, Jennifer Whetzel introduced the concepts of branding, marketing and advertising for cannabis companies. Part 2 takes a closer look at the benefits of branding. Stay tuned for Part 3 coming next month.
The Value of Branding
Think back: do you remember the very first Nike ad you saw? Probably not.
But when you see the swoosh, you immediately think of Nike. When you see the swoosh, you probably even think "Just do it." A whole sensibility, one that signifies perseverance and athletic excellence, gets conjured up by that swoosh. A lot of people think that's the power of advertising, but they're only partially correct.
The fact that you don't just know the swoosh but have thoughts and feelings that bubble up when you see it is due to branding. Companies like Nike don't spend millions on branding reflexively. They do it because brand recognition and the feelings that come with it turn potential consumers into buyers. Branding success is necessary, measurable and valuable – especially for brands looking to establish themselves.Strong branding is what will increase the chances that your marketing and advertising will be effective, and it's why branding must be one of your top priorities.
Branding: The Precursor to Advertising
You might not know specifically what ads work on you. But the ones that do work are driven by a strong brand.
For example, check out this ad campaign run by McDonald's: Essentially, the fast food giant used fractions of its logo to make a wayfinding system on highway billboards. It's clever and memorable, but it only works thanks to McDonald's strong branding. McDonald's has spent years building that shorthand because they understand that immediate recognition pays off in the literal and figurative sense.
Similarly, you know an Apple or an Under Armour ad when you see one. And you know this because there's a consistent look and sensibility that these companies have worked to codify – that's the branding piece. If you immediately recognize who these messages are coming from even before you engage with the ad, you're more focused on the message rather than trying to suss out which company it's coming from or what they're selling.
This is why branding has to be a precursor to advertising. If you create ads before you build your brand, you may get a message out about what you're offering. But if you do this, you're talking at your customer rather than building a relationship with them. Strong branding is what will increase the chances that your marketing and advertising will be effective, and it's why branding must be one of your top priorities.
The Benefits of Branding
Branding is about building a lasting, positive relationship with your customer. When you present a consistent brand personality and identity to your audience, you build trust. Consider how you form any long-term relationship; it's through repeated positive, consistent encounters that allow you to see the other party for who they are. You trust them because you feel that you understand them and that they understand you.
Strange as it seems, it's also true of brands. Building that bond with your customers will give you an advantage against brands that aren't very distinct. With proper branding, a company can build and solidify consumer trust, trust that pays off in the form of increased sales, loyalty and good reviews. These brands aren't constantly introducing themselves to consumers because over time, the branding itself does the selling and makes it easier to introduce new products down the line. Companies that don't build that trust will have to fight for recognition, and things only get worse with more competition.
The Dollar Value of Branding
And of course, there are numbers to back this up. Every year, Forbes puts out a list of the world's most valuable brands, and they use complex math to determine the actual value of this intangible thing called a Brand. Based on their thinking, a branded product should earn an 8% premium over a generic product. You can see some of their findings in the table below for a few categories that are traditionally very well-branded.
Industry Brand Brand Value (Billions)[1]
Technology Apple $205.5
Technology Microsoft $125.3
Consumer Packaged Goods Coca-Cola $59.2
Restaurants McDonald's $43.8
Apparel NIKE $36.8
Restaurants Starbucks $17.0
Apparel Adidas $11.2
Consumer Packaged Goods Kellogg's $8.0
These numbers, however, make it difficult to compare how well a company's branding works for them because the brand's total value is influenced by the size of the company. After doing a few simple calculations, we compared the Brand Value to the total Enterprise Value of each company to determine what we will call their Brand Contribution, which demonstrates how their branding efforts paid off.
When you compare the percentage of total company value that solely comes from the value of the brand, we can see that Nike significantly outperforms competitor Adidas, McDonald's has a stronger brand than Starbuck's, and Apple comes close to doubling the brand performance of Microsoft — none of which is surprising.
What might surprise you is the brand at the top of the list when it comes to contribution versus overall company value. Kellogg's is one of the smallest companies to make the list in terms of Brand Value, and it has the lowest enterprise value in our list. Yet, Kellogg's has the highest brand contribution. This makes sense in the high-stakes world of consumer-packaged goods; the competition is fierce, well-funded and global, which means that branding that resonates with customers is extremely important.
Industry Brand Brand Value Enterprise Value[2] Brand Contribution[3]
Consumer Packaged Goods Kellogg's $8.0 $28.4 28.2%
Apparel NIKE $36.8 $133.4 27.6%
Restaurants McDonald's $43.8 $187.2 23.4%
Consumer Packaged Goods Coca-Cola $59.2 $254.8 23.2%
Technology Apple $205.5 $950.3 21.6%
Apparel Adidas $11.2 $59.0 19.0%
Restaurants Starbucks $17.0 $109.7 15.5%
Technology Microsoft $125.3 $990.9 12.6%
These companies are all massive and wealthy because they prioritize trust and consistency as part of their long-term plan to sell products. Branding promotes loyalty, but its ability to promote trust can be even more powerful by paying off in the long-term. And in this new legal cannabis market, trust is going to be just as critical as it is for traditional companies. After all, the power of branding isn't just getting people to know who you are — it's getting them to believe in you.

Enterprise value gathered from ycharts.com on 6/20/2019. Ycharts defines enterprise value as: Enterprise Value (EV) is a valuation metric alternative to traditional market capitalization that reflects the market value of an entire business. Like market cap, EV is a measure of what the market believes a company is worth. Enterprise value captures the cost of an entire business, including debt and equity. It is a sum of claims of all preferred shareholders, debt holders, security holders, common equity holders, and minority shareholders – unlike market cap, which only captures the total value of common equity securities.

Climate Rules Are About to Become Real for International Trade
International trade is skewed in favor of exporters who pay less for carbon emissions. The EU wants to change that.
Jan 15, 2023 11:03 PM by
The Lowy Interpreter
In 2023, climate rules in international trade become real.
With the introduction of the European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), trade rules based on the carbon footprint of goods move from theory to practice. In December 2022, EU institutions reached overall agreement on the CBAM regulation, which will come into force later this year.
The CBAM's purpose is to prevent the risk of carbon leakage, which can arise when differences in climate policy make it cheaper to produce carbon-intensive products in one country compared to another.
The EU operates an Emissions Trading System (ETS) that caps overall emissions from covered sectors such as energy, heavy industry and aluminium production. Within the cap, emitters must surrender to the regulator enough emission allowances to cover their total emissions. Emitters can buy and sell allowances for this purpose. The EU allowance, representing one tonne of CO2 equivalent, has recently been trading at around $85.
The problem is that most of the countries the EU trades with have a far lower carbon price – or no carbon price at all. This creates an unfair advantage for exporters to the EU who do not have to pay the cost of carbon to produce their products. It also creates perverse incentives: for governments to support their exporters by keeping carbon prices low or non-existent, and for businesses to relocate production to those jurisdictions – i.e. carbon leakage.
The CBAM deals with these problems by requiring importers into the EU of covered goods to pay the difference between the EU carbon price and the carbon price (if any) under which the goods were actually produced. The EU carbon price is thereby factored into the final price of the good, eliminating incentives for carbon leakage.
To begin with, the CBAM will be applied only to a limited number of sectors where there is risk of carbon leakage: iron and steel, cement, fertilizers, aluminum, electricity and hydrogen. Importers must begin CBAM reporting from October this year and must start making payments under the mechanism from 2026. No big deal? Here's why it matters.
First, the EU is likely to expand the CBAM to other goods, with the European Commission to review this during the transition period. Further EU decisions last month to phase out freely allocated emissions allowances and to strengthen the ETS mitigation target will put upward pressure on the price of EU carbon credits. Both CBAM price and coverage are therefore likely to go up.
Second, the impact of the CBAM will be much broader than direct exports to the EU in covered sectors. Its real point is to incentivize other countries to adopt sufficiently robust carbon pricing. The draft regulation provides for the CBAM not to be applied to exports from such countries. Even before it enters into force, the CBAM is having this impact. The World Bank reports that "[s]everal jurisdictions, including Ukraine, Uruguay, and Taiwan, China, have already cited the CBAM proposal as a driver for their efforts to adopt a direct carbon price."
The draft regulation foresees international agreements on carbon pricing adequacy leading to an "alliance of countries with carbon pricing instruments or other comparable instruments ('climate club')." This is intended to "pave the way for global carbon pricing." While this is clearly a long way off, other major economies have also been considering carbon border adjustments.
Third, the CBAM agreement shows that EU climate policy has not been derailed by the crisis caused by Russia's barbaric invasion of Ukraine. Quite the opposite. The CBAM was proposed in 2019, the legislation was introduced in 2021 and political agreement reached in 2022.
In fact, the EU has not only stayed the course but has used both the Covid-19 economic recovery packages and its response to Russian energy blackmail to accelerate climate policy. Other countries have done similarly, although globally it's a mixed picture.
Certain vested interests have been quietly (or not so quietly) hoping that the immediate challenges of war and pestilence would consign climate policy to the too-hard basket. They should probably give up. The climate transition is now a broadly recognized driver of energy security, economic prosperity and social resilience. As the Paris Agreement requires, countries are progressively strengthening climate goals and implementation, although not quickly enough.
Exporters to the EU will have an additional reason to reduce the carbon intensity of covered products. By far the larger impact, however, will be if the CBAM works as intended, spurring other major economies to introduce or strengthen domestic carbon taxes or emissions trading. Each country with a high carbon price will have the same incentive as the EU to adopt carbon border adjustments.

Abilify Lawsuit
If you took Abilify and suffer from compulsive gambling behavior, call The Goldwater Law Firm right now.
Call Us Anytime, Day or Night
Abilify Lawyer
When you visit with a mental health professional, you expect that the doctor has done his due diligence in determining which medications may be most appropriate for your condition. This includes a careful evaluation of all potential side effects and a review of your symptoms and conditions in order arrive at a final decision about the medication to be prescribed.
One of the most common drugs prescribed for mental health disorders like depression, schizophrenia, Tourette's syndrome, irritability related to autism, and bipolar disorder is called Abilify. Some patients who have taken Abilify, however, report sudden and severe side effects, including the urge to gamble and shop. These aren't the only compulsive behaviors found to be a side effect of the drug, either.
Discovering that a drug you thought would help with your symptoms has only caused you greater harm in the form of serious side effects can be devastating, but you may have an option for legal recourse. In order to learn whether or not you have been impacted by these negative side effects, read on. If you have lost significant money as a result of uncontrollable gambling urges or compulsive shopping, you may need to consult with the Abilify lawyer at the Goldwater Law Firm to have your case evaluated and determine the appropriate next steps.
Abilify Connected To Compulsive Gambling
Unfortunately, Abilify has recently been linked to numerous forms of serious and compulsive behavior including compulsive gambling. Some patients have reported sudden and uncontrollable urges to gamble away their entire life savings to get into serious debt situations or to max out all of their credit cards.
Currently, lawsuits are being pursued against Bristol-Myers Squibb and Otsuka. These companies may ultimately be held responsible for failing to warn patients about the potential issues associated with Abilify and compulsive gambling.
Abilify Linked To Compulsive Shopping
Abilify has also been linked to compulsive shopping. While compulsive shopping may seem like it's harmless, it's led some Abilify patients to ruin their relationships and their finances because they cannot resist the uncontrollable urge to shop.
Abilify and Compulsive Eating
Abilify is also linked to compulsive or binge eating. In 2010, a study in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychology highlighted the struggle of a woman with schizophrenia who took Abilify for her symptoms. She gained almost 20 pounds over a six month period because of compulsive eating. Binge eating wasn't the only way that Abilify negatively impacted her life. She also compulsively gambled away thousands of dollars. The patient had no previous history of compulsive eating or gambling. After her doctor removed her from the medication, this behavior stopped. Yet, the damage to her finances was already done.
Abilify Associated with Other Serious Side Effects
While there are numerous compulsive behaviors associated with taking Abilify, they aren't the only side effects. Abilify now has two black box warnings. A black box warning is the strongest warning given by the FDA. It's given to medications that have a serious risk of death. The first black box warning directs patients, medical professionals, and pharmacists of the risks associated with giving Abilify to elderly patients with dementia. The second black box warning states that the medication should be stopped by any patient who experiences suicidal thoughts or patients who try to commit suicide.
Abilify is also known to cause neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). NMS is a life-threatening reaction that can occur when someone takes an anti-psychotic medication like Abilify. Symptoms of this condition include fever, a change in mental status, muscle rigidity, and dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. Your autonomic nervous system controls your automatic functions such as breathing, your pulse rate, and digestion. That's not a complete list of your autonomic functions, but it does highlight the serious and deadly consequences of NMS. NMS can develop within hours of taking Abilify, but it doesn't always set in so quickly. Some patients who have this reaction may not show symptoms for as long as 30 days. NMS can be treated, but it can also cause permanent problems with the kidneys and the heart.
Another serious and life-long side effect of Abilify is a condition known as tardive dyskinesia. Tardive dyskinesia (TD) causes uncontrollable body movements. The movements often display by involuntary movement of the mouth and tongue. TD is often diagnosed between six weeks and several years of taking Abilify. TD is permanent. Even when patients stop taking Abilify, the symptoms of TD continue. Common symptoms of TD include rapid blinking, tongue thrusting, constant finger movement, facial grimacing, and repetitive chewing. Patients may not show all of these symptoms.
Abilify is also linked to high blood sugar in patients with no history of diabetes. If you have diabetes, you should have your blood sugar tested before you begin taking Abilify. Symptoms of high blood sugar include feeling confused, sweet smelling breath, frequent urination, feeling unusually thirsty, and coma.
There's absolutely no obligation.
Help! What Should I Do If I've Been Impacted?
If you believe that you may have been impacted, you need to consult with an attorney as soon as possible. Abilify is the top selling anti-psychotic drug in the United States. However, numerous medical studies have linked its use to compulsive eating and gambling.
Many patients don't realize the serious impacts of a side effect like this until it's far too late, but numerous medical research studies have linked Abilify to several different kinds of compulsive behavior including hypersexual activity, pathological gambling or binge eating. The urges to engage in this behavior have been significant even for patients who have expressed no interest in these behaviors prior to taking the medication.
Who May Be Able To Pursue A Claim?
People suffering in the form of crippling debt or other negative consequences as a result of taking Abilify may have grounds for a legal claim against the manufacturer. It is in your best interest to consult with a knowledgeable attorney if this applies to your situation. When doctors or patients are not properly warned about detrimental side effects like compulsive behavior, the drug can be on the market for months or years before future patients have access to adequate warning labels. In the meantime, others may continue to suffer consequences that will impact their life long after they have stopped taking the medication.
Why Consulting With A Lawyer Is Essential
You can do your part to stop this kind of behavior by consulting with a knowledgeable attorney at the Goldwater Law Firm as soon possible. Although there is no way to turn back the clock and erase the compulsive behavior from which you have already suffered as a result of taking this medication, filing a Abilify lawsuit may help to hold these companies responsible and to demonstrate that these kinds of unacceptable marketing strategies will not be tolerated. You can help prevent other patients from suffering a similar fate and hold these companies liable in court.
If you believe that Abilify has caused you to suffer from compulsive gambling behavior or other serious side effects not mentioned on the warning label, you need the insight of an experienced Abilify class action lawsuit attorney as soon as possible. Reach out to the Abilify Attorneys at the Goldwater Law Firm to learn more about your rights if you believe that Abilify's side effects have had a negative impact on your life.

Schaben ist ein manuell oder maschinell ausgeführtes Fertigungsverfahren. Es zählt in der Einteilung der Fertigungsverfahren nach DIN 8580 zum Spanen mit geometrisch bestimmter Schneide und dient insbesondere im Werkzeugmaschinenbau zur Herstellung von Führungen, Passflächen und zur Herstellung von Öltaschen in Gleitflächen. In der VDI-Richtlinie 3220 ist es definiert als: "Spanen mit vorzugsweise einschneidigen, nicht ständig im Eingriff stehendem, in einer Hauptrichtung bewegtem Werkzeug zur Verbesserung von Form, Maß, Lage und Oberfläche vorgearbeiteter Werkstücke" Demzufolge wird das Schaben erst nach anderen Verfahren wie dem Drehen oder Fräsen eingesetzt. Da diese Verfahren immer genauer wurden, haben sie in vielen Fällen das Schaben überflüssig gemacht.

Verfahren

Ziel des Verfahrens ist es,  die gegenüber der idealen Ebene erhabenen Stellen (durch Welligkeit, Verzug o. ä.) eines Werkstücks abzutragen. Da sich alle gleichmäßig über die Gesamtfläche verteilten, tragenden Punkte einer Fläche auf einer Ebene befinden, kann eine bestmögliche gleichmäßige Verteilung der Last erreicht werden. Die Lage der erhabenen Stellen und die Güte der Oberfläche werden durch Tuschieren mit Tuschierfarbe auf einer Tuschierplatte oder mit einem Tuschierlineal festgestellt. Die Farbe verbleibt je nach angewendetem Verfahren auf den erhabenen Flächen oder in den Vertiefungen. Nach dem Einebnen der Fläche werden Grate mit feinen Abziehsteinen geglättet. Erreichbar sind Ebenheitstoleranzen von 0,001 mm.

Durch kreuzweisen Wechsel der Richtung des Schabwerkzeugs entsteht ein typisches Schabmuster, welches teilweise auch allein seiner optischen Wirkung wegen hergestellt wird ("Musterschaben").
Am langsamen Verschwinden des Musters durch Abnutzung kann der Verschleiß abgeschätzt werden.

Durch Schaben werden auch bewusst Vertiefungen in der Arbeitsoberfläche angebracht, die als sogenannte Öltaschen eine längere Aufrechterhaltung des Schmierfilms ermöglichen, unter anderem auch in hydrodynamisch geschmierten Gleitlagern.

Die Bedeutung des Schabens wird unterschiedlich beurteilt. Im Werkzeugmaschinenbau und Gebrauchtmaschinenbereich ("Retrofit") wird es häufig eingesetzt. Neumaschinen werden wegen leistungsfähiger und präziser alternativer Verfahren nicht mehr mit Schaben hergestellt.

Wird die Güte einer Fläche mit einer Messuhr ermittelt, ist zusätzlich ein Kippen der zu bearbeitenden Fläche möglich. Man spricht dann von Schaben auf Winkligkeit.

Varianten

Unterschieden wird das Hand- und Maschinenschaben. Nach der erzeugten Oberfläche unterscheidet man in Planschaben zur Herstellung ebener (planer) Oberflächen und Rundschaben für runde Oberflächen insbesondere am Umfang von zylindrischen Teilen. Auch wird differenziert zwischen dem Stoßschaben zur Grobbearbeitung (sogenanntes Schruppen) und dem Ziehschaben zur Feinbearbeitung (Schlichten).

Werkzeuge

Wie bei allen Zerspanwerkzeugen hat der für den Werkstoffabtrag verantwortliche Schneidenteil eine Keilform. Um ein zu tiefes Eindringen der Werkzeugschneide in den Werkstoff zu verhindern, hält man die Summe von Freiwinkel und Keilwinkel größer als 90 °. Es entsteht so ein negativer Spanwinkel. Beim Schaben ebener Flächen wird zunächst ein Flachschaber verwendet, zum Nachschaben wird ein Ziehschaber eingesetzt. Für gewölbte Flächen, z. B. bei Gleitlagern, verwendet man Dreikantschaber und Löffelschaber.

Handschaber

Der Handschaber dient zum Bearbeiten meist planer, im Ausnahmefall auch zylindrischer Flächen. Der Handschaber ist in seiner Urform ein sehr altes Werkzeug, welches schon in der Steinzeit zum Bearbeiten von Holzstämmen benutzt wurde.

Im Zuge der Industrialisierung im 19. Jahrhundert wurde der Handschaber dann vielfach zur Bearbeitung von Maschinenbetten, Spindelhülsen oder Gleitflächen eingesetzt.

Der Handschaber besteht meist aus Holzgriff, Stiel und einer Klemmung zur Aufnahme des auswechselbaren Schaberplättchens. Das Schaberplättchen besteht aus Hochleistungs-Schnellarbeitsstahl oder Hartmetall und muss regelmäßig mit speziellen feinkörnigen Schleifkörpern nachgeschärft werden.

Elektroschaber

Elektroschaber (Oszillierer) verkürzen die Bearbeitungszeit. Ein Elektromotor erzeugt hierbei eine oszillierende Hubbewegung. Hublänge (Amplitude) sowie Hubgeschwindigkeit sind gewöhnlich regelbar. Allerdings sind Elektroschaber wesentlich schwerer und verursachen starke Vibrationen.

Andere Verfahren zur Feinbearbeitung sind Feilen, Schleifen, Honen und Läppen.

Schaben als Reinigungsverfahren

Im Gegensatz zum oben behandelten Schaben als spanendes Fertigungsverfahren soll beim Schaben zum Reinigen von Oberflächen das Material des Werkstücks möglichst nicht abgetragen werden.
Die Schneide des Schabers kann daher auch aus einem weicheren Material bestehen, als das zu reinigende Werkstück. In diesem Fall kommt es auf den Spanwinkel nicht mehr an, so dass harte Materialien wie Glas und Glaskeramik auch mit scharfen Klingen, d. h. mit sehr kleinem Keilwinkel gereinigt werden können.

Vielfach werden zum Reinigen von Oberflächen von Beschichtungen oder Verunreinigungen einfache Gipser- bzw. Maler-Spachtel oder Schabewerkzeuge mit der Möglichkeit zum Einklemmen von Wegwerfklingen eingesetzt.

Zum Entfernen von Farbschichten auf Holz gibt es eine Vielzahl von Hand- und Elektrowerkzeugen, die mit Klingen verschiedener Art versehen werden können.
Um beim Entfernen von Beschichtungen von weicheren Holzarten nicht versehentlich mit der Schaberklinge in die Holzoberfläche einzudringen, werden die Klingen vorzugsweise ziehend eingesetzt (wobei die sogenannte Ziehklinge ein Werkzeug ist, mit dem bei entsprechender Zurichtung der Schneidkante auch spanabhebend gearbeitet wird).

Um den Abtrag von Beschichtungen zu erleichtern, werden diese vor dem Abschaben oft durch chemische Abbeizmittel oder durch Erwärmung erweicht.

An in-depth meta-analysis highlights COVID-19's pregnancy dangers
Researchers from various institutions throughout the United States describe the results of a sequential and prospective meta-analysis of over 13,000 pregnant women in a recent BMJ Global Health study. Using a harmonized data collection and analytical strategy, the researchers assessed the risk of maternal, fetal, and neonatal morbidity and mortality in women diagnosed with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during pregnancy.
Study: Adverse maternal, fetal, and newborn outcomes among pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2 infection: an individual participant data meta-analysis. Image Credit: Dragon Images / Shutterstock.com
Pregnancy and COVID-19
Pregnancy leads to various physiological, immunomodulatory, and mechanical changes that often increase women's susceptibility to certain illnesses, such as COVID-19, and their severe effects.
One meta-analysis of 47 studies suggests that this patient population is at a greater risk of mortality, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, preterm birth, stillbirth, and neonatal care unit admission than pregnant women without COVID-19. Another recent report found that women diagnosed with COVID-19 at the time of giving birth were also more likely to require extended hospitalization that involved critical care for both the mother and child.
Despite these observations, researchers cannot synthesize available information on the impact of COVID-19 during pregnancy due to widespread heterogeneity among these studies in outcome definitions, population-specific baseline-risks, and the methods used to diagnose COVID-19. Furthermore, pregnant women in low-income countries have not been extensively studied.
The current study involved pooling data from independent studies using harmonized data definitions and an individual participant data (IPD) meta-analytical framework. Eligible studies included registries, single and multi-site cohorts, and case-control studies involving pregnant women with suspected or confirmed COVID-19. Notably, a COVID-19 diagnosis was confirmed through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay, antigen tests, serology testing following a known exposure, or according to the suspected case definition by the World Health Organization (WHO).
To ensure the integrity of IPD for the study, the researchers identified any potential outliers and inconsistent values for important data points such as gestational age at birth, maternal age, and neonatal birth weight. The four patient outcome categories assessed in the study included maternal mortality and morbidity, fetal and neonatal mortality and morbidity, adverse birth outcomes, and severe COVID-19 outcomes.
Taken together, a total of 12 studies conducted between February 2020 and July 2021 were included in the final analysis. These studies were conducted in 12 countries, including Ghana, China-Hong Kong, Italy, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Turkey, Uganda, and the United States. As a result, a total of 1,942 pregnant women with COVID-19 and 11,194 pregnant women who were negative for COVID-19 were included.
COVID-19 increases the risk of maternal morbidity and mortality
Compared to pregnant women negative for the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a diagnosis of COVID-19 at any point during pregnancy increased the woman's risk for all critical COVID-19 indicators. These severe COVID-19 effects included ICU admission, any ventilation use, and clinician-diagnosed pneumonia.
More specifically, COVID-19 increased a pregnant woman's absolute risk of ICU admission and critical care requirements by 3% and 4%, respectively. Pregnant women diagnosed with COVID-19 were five times more likely to require critical care as compared to SARS-CoV-2-negative pregnant women.
Notably, these adverse effects were more common among pregnant women with symptomatic COVID-19. In addition, the risk of maternal death was also significantly higher among pregnant women with symptomatic infection than uninfected women.
Of the three included studies that reported deaths during the study period, COVID-19 increased the risk of maternal death. A greater risk of pre-eclampsia, thromboembolic disease, and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy was also observed among pregnant women with COVID-19.
The risk of cesarean section was slightly higher among pregnant women diagnosed with COVID-19. Notably, no significant difference in the risk of preterm labor, hemorrhage, placental abruption, eclampsia, or intrapartum cesarean delivery was identified.
Adverse neonatal outcomes and maternal COVID-19
An increased risk of neonatal ICU (NICU) admission was reported among infants born to mothers diagnosed with COVID-19. These findings are consistent with other studies, such as the INTERCOVID study, which reported a similarly greater risk of preterm birth in SARS-CoV-2-infected women.
Furthermore, infants born to infected mothers were more likely to be born preterm and moderate preterm, as well as have a low birth weight.
Although a diagnosis of COVID-19 significantly increased the risk of numerous maternal morbidity and mortality markers, as well as various neonatal outcomes, symptomatic infections were an even greater risk factor for these adverse effects.
Taken together, these findings emphasize the importance of continued vigilance among pregnant women to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection through vaccination and the use of non-pharmaceutical interventions like masks and social distancing.

This contrarian strategist recommends chasing bears in these hard-hit sectors
Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN)
Apple Inc. (AAPL)
Zoom Video Communications Inc. (ZM)
The hard-hit commercial real-estate sector is attractive to strategist Peter Tchir.
Don't count Peter Tchir, head of market strategy at Academy Securities, in the markets-are-irrational camp.
"If you look at the stocks that have rallied the most, it's Amazon /zigman2/quotes/210331248/composite AMZN +0.53% , it's Apple /zigman2/quotes/202934861/composite AAPL +0.54% , it's Zoom /zigman2/quotes/211319643/composite ZM +2.43% , it's Microsoft /zigman2/quotes/207732364/composite MSFT +1.78% — companies that have actually benefited from a work-at-home-type environment," he said. He said this is illustrated by comparing the gap between the market-cap-weighted S&P 500 index /zigman2/quotes/210599714/realtime SPX +0.81% with the equal-weighted version /zigman2/quotes/210600229/delayed XX:SP500EW +0.53% . "So you've had this real leadership from the top companies," he said.
The gap between the market-cap weighted and equal-weighted S&P 500.
The recovery in the market came after reports showed the new coronavirus disproportionately hitting the elderly — which gave Tchir confidence in the reopening of the economy — as well as unprecedented federal aid, with talking already under way on a second Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act
Tchir says he expects the government to act more aggressively on infrastructure spending and supply chain rebuilding.
"I think President Trump has always made it clear in his life that you have to find someone to blame. So we are going to blame China. So how do we pick a fight with China? I think we will get supply chain rebuilding," he said. The U.S. has already come down hard on Chinese telecom equipment maker Huawei Technologies, he noted.
Only China and Russia have been named as "strategic competitors" by the U.S. government, he added. "You've labeled one country that you're most likely to have some degree of friction with, and you're getting your most important stuff from them," he said.
It is, ironically, the market gains that make Tchir nervous. "The government acts much better when markets are in disarray," he said. The protests over the killing of George Floyd and ensuing violence also may shift attention away from the economy, he said.
As for specific sectors, he said he has a contrarian strategy. "So I'm always looking where the people are hiding. And I think the bears are still short autos, they're still short commercial real estate, and they're still underweight financials," he said. To play his view that more cyclical names will outperform the technology stocks, he would either go long the equal-weighted S&P 500 /zigman2/quotes/202854823/composite RSP +0.48% and short the market-cap-weighted S&P 500 /zigman2/quotes/209901640/composite SPY +0.79% , or go long the Russell 2000 ETF /zigman2/quotes/209961116/composite IWM +1.28% and short the Nasdaq-100 /zigman2/quotes/208575548/composite QQQ +1.46% .
In an absolute stunner, the Labor Department reported 2.5 million jobs were added in May, and a decline in the unemployment rate of 1.4 percentage points to 13.3%. Eased lockdowns brought back workers in leisure and hospitality, construction, education and health services, and retail trade, the Labor Department said.
"This much better than expected report reinforces our view that April likely marked the trough in U.S. economic activity," said Brian Coulton, chief economist at Fitch Ratings.
Trump administration officials expect to spend up to $1 trillion in the next round of economic stimulus, Bloomberg News reported .
Messaging service Slack /zigman2/quotes/212180539/composite WORK +0.65% reported 50% revenue growth and a new partnership with Amazon Web Services.
Gap Inc. /zigman2/quotes/206554267/composite GPS -1.13% reported a $932 million loss in its fiscal first quarter ending May 2, as the retailer suffered from closures due to the coronavirus.

Have you ever wondered if hand sanitizer or poinsettias are poisonous? Well, the Maryland Poison Center (www.mdpoison.com) provides answers to these questions and clarifies a few more interesting facts.
Myth: Children will not eat something that tastes bad.
Truth: Children may not have a fully developed sense of taste. What tastes bad to an adult may not taste bad to a child. In general, children are curious enough to taste anything.
Myth: Children cannot open child-proof containers.
Myth: Children can become drunk from licking hand sanitizer from their hands.
Truth: Licking a single squirt or a pea-sized amount of hand sanitizer from their hands is not dangerous. However, consuming larger quantities from the bottle can be dangerous. Always use the product as directed.
Truth: Poinsettias may cause an upset stomach, but only if a large number of leaves are eaten. Pets may be a little more sensitive than children, but the plant is not deadly to either.
Myth: Sunscreen in the eyes will cause blindness.
Truth: Sunscreen in the eyes is very irritating, but it will not cause blindness. Even though these products are usually waterproof, flushing the eyes with water for 15 minutes will remove it and minimize damage to the eyes.
When in doubt, call the Poison Control hotline at 1-800-222-1222 or check out the National Capital Poison Control's webPOISONCONTROL online tool (www.poison.org).

I don't know about you, but when I make a stuffed animal or baby doll, I like the final product to look as if it wants to steal my soul. There's no better present for your kid to open on Christmas Morning than a doll that a possibly (definitely) possessed newborn-sized, anatomically accurate baby doll.
Anyway, meet Louis, the crocheted baby doll that was weirdly popular on Ravelry this week.
Sure, this doll is firmly in the Uncanny Valley, and is definitely going to tell your kid to murder you in your sleep, but I have to hand it to the lady (or gent) who designed him. From a technical engineering standpoint, he's pretty impressive. To crochet a doll that human-like is pretty crazy. So, hats off to them.
But, while the designer was asking if they could design a nearly-human baby doll, perhaps they should have asked if they should.
This entry was posted in Pattern Spotlight and tagged accurate, baby, baby doll, baby louis, creepy, crochet, doll, louis, weird on December 8, 2014 by onemilljellybeans.
I saw him the other day. Amazing design, but you are right, a little odd. Well done to the designer who made him though, I've never seen a more perfect crocheted baby.
I know, right? I can't even imagine how you'd go about coming up with a pattern like this. A weird little part of me wants to buy the pattern, just to see how it is written out.
To whoever came up with this, I wish them closure and peace.


Our panel of parent testers loved how easy the Easywalker Mosey+ was to fold up and down, plus how light it was to manoeuvre and how compact it was when folded. That said, the hood doesn't offer a great amount of coverage when the seat is reclined.
I would recommend this pushchair to a fellow mum, yes! I love the fact that it is much smaller in size than my current buggy, taking up less room in the boot and easy to manoeuver through tight spaces when out and about. There are also no attaching parts like there are with my current buggy – with the Mosey+ you just press buttons and pop it into shape, which saves a lot of time and energy.
The two things that made my life easier with the Mosey+ were the fact that is so compact compared to my current buggy, meaning it takes up much less room in my boot along with my daughter's other belongings. Secondly, the fact I could easily put the pushchair up and down was a real lifesaver.
Unfortunately, I wouldn't choose for this pushchair to win a Mother & Baby award for a few different reasons. It is very heavy to carry round and get in and out of the boot of my car. I found that it was very difficult to initially build, and really struggled. I also found that the material marked very easily and the sun hood didn't fully cover my baby when the seat was reclined. In my opinion, the features do not compare to my current pushchair – a Bugaboo.
I would make the buggy itself a lot lighter, as any mum will know life with a baby is already back breaking! I'd also rethink the material to a more durable option that does not mark as easily, and increase the size of the sunhood.
I would recommend the Easywalker Mosey+ to friends as it is, overall, a good pram. It is easy to fold and unfold, nice to push and comfortable for the baby with the added bonus of a nice size basket and a strong break. The seat unit has plenty room for taller children and the adjustable footrest is great for added comfort.
This pram makes my life easier because it is light to push, comfortable for my baby, has a nice big basket underneath and seems to be very sturdy. Although the frame is quite heavy, it is easy to push and mostly easy to manoeuvre – apart from a few difficulties getting up and down a few kerbs we have had no issues.
I would definitely choose the Easywalker Mosey+ as a second pram to be used for travel and for the car especially. It is nice and compact when folded, with the added bonus of being able to fold with seat unit in either position, although this can sometimes be fiddly. That said, I'm sure this is something I would get used to over time and it wouldn't put me off using the pushchair.
If I could change one thing about the Easywalker Mosey+, I would add more padding to the seat, as it does feel a bit thin compared to others on the market. I would increase the size of the hood; my baby is small and the hood doesn't offer a huge amount of coverage especially when laid back to sleep.
I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a good pram, with a small fold. I can see my daughter has lots of room to grow and can think this pushchair will last her well into toddlerhood. The raincover also zips back into a small pouch which is a great little extra as it means it doesn't take up the entire basket. Also, the adjustable footrest helps get your baby into a comfortable position as they grow.
This product would make life easier as a mum as it is really easy to push and fold. There is a good size basket, which is super easy to access. The adjustable handle accommodates both my height and my partners really well, and feels nicely padded too. I got the hang of folding the pushchair down smoothly after only a few attempts and find it fits nicely in the car, even when folded with seat attached.
I would choose this product as it is a good starter pram which I could use from newborn with the carrycot. I can see this buggy lasting a child until they are ready to walk. The option to hang a bag on the handle with the hooks is also really helpful. That said, I'm not sure if I would choose it to win a Mother & Baby award, as I didn't think the seat was very padded.
The seat could be more padded for younger babies, or a liner could be added to a basic model. Also, the hood could afford to give more coverage, although it does extend I feel like it could offer a bit more for smaller babies.
I love this pushchair! It is lightweight, easy to fold up and fits really nicely into the boot of my car, which is a huge selling point for me! It looks stylish and I particularly like the faux leather handlebars. The rain cover comes in a handy pouch and is easy to put on and the seat has three positions so that you can recline your baby easily for a nap. Finally, it is lightweight, but still feels sturdy.
My current pushchair is very heavy and big and I struggle to get it into my car on my own. This pushchair makes my life so much easier as it is lightweight and easily folds down. It takes up half the space and saves me so much time when out and about. I can lift it without struggling and hurting my back.
I think this pushchair should be a definite contender for a Mother & Baby award. It is stylish, lightweight, compact, easy to manoeuvre and can easily be napped in (due to the recline position). It isn't one thing that stands out for me, it is having the combination of all of these things that makes it a great pushchair. I hadn't heard of this brand before, but after trying it, I would definitely recommend it to other mums.
The instructions for assembling the pushchair were difficult to understand – there were no words, only pictures, which made it difficult to decipher what you needed to do. It took me a good 30 minutes to assemble. The rain cover could also have pockets in so you can easily get to your baby without completely removing it, but these were fairly minor things and overall it is a really good pushchair.
I would recommend this pushchair to a fellow mum as it's a really sound, sturdy and stylish. I found the seat unit was really roomy and the straps were well adjustable. I love the fact that there an option to have the straps really low for small babies, but that the highest option was still comfortable for my two-year-old. I also found it's easy to push one handed so that I can still hold on to my eldest child's hand. I think this is a great pick for growing families and love that there are lots of accessories available to customise the pushchair.
This pushchair has made it so much easier to get out and about with my tall two-year-old! After struggling with back pain for the last few months, it's been hard to get out with my previous stroller. The Easywalker Mosey+ is so easy to push and manoeuvre that it's significantly reduced my back pain when pushing. My son is very comfortable and has lots of room and I was shocked to be able to fit the whole pram in the boot of my tiny car, something we have struggled with in the past! Although the pram is lovely and light to push it feels really well built and super stylish. I only wish I had discovered Easywalker sooner!
I would definitely vote for this to win an award, as I would now choose this pram over any stroller I've previously owned. It is very light and easy to push; the fold is so smooth and it is really helpful to have the option to fold the pram with the seat unit facing either way. It had all the features of a pram, but with the ease of use of a stroller. The first time we took it out I was shocked at well it performed, this is the first I've heard of this brand and I would not hesitate to use for any future babies.
I am really clutching at straws to find any faults with this pram! Perhaps a thicker seat liner could be included for a younger baby? I honestly don't think much improvement is needed – thank you Easywalker!
Suitable from birth to approximately four years (20kg).

Here's a bit of whimsy centered on marine mammals rather than the marine industry.
According to a report by the Russian news agency RIA Novosti, three of the Ukrainian navy's so-called "killer dolphins," which swam away from their handlers during training exercises earlier this month, probably left to look for mates, an expert said Tuesday.
Ukraine's Defense Ministry denied the reports while refusing to even confirm the navy makes use of dolphins despite the frequent appearance in Ukrainian media of photographs of dolphins with military equipment strapped to them.

Q: replacing first few digits with # I want to hide the first 6 digits of social security
I have them like 123-456-7890
I want to show ###-###-7890
how can I do that
thanks

A: $ssn = '123-456-7890';
$ssn = '###-###-'.substr ($ssn , 8);

A: You can use the substr method to get the rightmost 4 characters from the SSN using a negative length:
$ssn = '111-222-4567';
$ssn_obscured = '###-###-' . substr($ssn, -4);

See http://us.php.net/substr for more information on the method.

Let's take a piece of dialogue. "How are you today?" Pretty simple, right? Not much going on with these words. Pretty boring, actually. But wait. Let's say we add some description, a deliberate action beat or two, and a few thoughts. Suddenly, this simple piece of dialogue can take on a whole new meaning.
Let's take a look at two examples created by moi.
Pete cast a worried glance at his mother, who sat in the kitchen. In the dark. By herself. The papers she'd received in the mail yesterday strewn in front of her on the table, zapping every morsel of happiness from the room. Why did his dad have to ask for a divorce now, the day before he was leaving for college? Talk about lousy timing. He crept to his mother and reached out a tentative hand. "How are you today?" The words did little more than whisper past his lips.
In case you don't know, this is called subtexting. It's one of the seven methods Brandilyn Collins discusses in her book, Getting into Character. Subtexting is a very powerful tool to have in our writer's box. If we want to write realistic dialogue, communication needs to go deeper than words. There should be an undercurrent of unspoken meaning flowing underneath. A subtext. A novel filled with "What you say, is what you get" speech (what Brandilyn refers to as WYSIWYG) will steal the reader's oxygen and make them yawn. And that's never a good thing.
So how do we subtext? Brandilyn offers some great advice and it all has to do with TIME – no, not hours and minutes. But T.I.M.E. Thought. Inflection. Movement. And Expression.
Thought – this is what's going through the character's head. In example one, Missy is thinking Ramone went on a date with the high school hunk. In example two, Pete is wondering why his dad chose such rotten timing to serve his mother divorce papers. These thoughts establish a mood and ground the reader in what's to come.
Inflection – this involves how the character speaks. I don't use inflection in example one. But in example two, Pete doesn't just speak the words, he whispers them. The subtext behind the dialogue would be much different if instead of whispering the words, he grumbled. All of a sudden, the undercurrent behind his question changes. Pete's no longer concerned. He's now resentful.
Movement – this includes anything from subtle body language to large motions. Notice, I was very purposeful in choosing the way I have Missy move. She skips. She grabs Ramone's arm. She jiggles her eyebrows. These movements convey a meaning. When she says, "How are you today?" I don't need to italicize the word you, because we all know how she's saying it. I was also purposeful in choosing the way I have Pete move. He creeps. He reaches out a tentative hand. These movements convey gentleness. If I would have had him stomp and jerk his hand, I would have changed the subtext.
Expression – In example one, Missy smirks. What if instead, I had Missy frown? What used to be excited curiosity would turn into disapproving jealousy. In example two, Pete casts a worried glance. But what if he would have glared at his mother? The story changes. Every expression comes attached with unspoken meaning.
When you put these four elements together – thought, inflection, movement, and expression – you can pretty much subtext any piece of dialogue, any way you'd like. It's quite fun! You should try! In fact, instead of a question to ponder, I'm going to change it up a bit.
Challenge: Take the question, "How are you today?" and subtext it. Make it rich with meaning by using Brandilyn's T.I.M.E. technique.
You're totally on spot Krista. It's also when the character says one thing, but means the other. I just added some of this during my revisions for my WIP. I have my character says, "Thanks for stopping by. We'll have to do this again sometime." But it's obvious from T.I.M.E. that what she really means is, "Not if my life depended on it."
I LOVE the idea of subtexting, and probably don't do nearly enough of it in my writing. I've also heard it explained that it can be used when a character says one thing but means another.
Jenny plastered on a smile. "Sure, I'd love to."
"Great, I'll see you then."
After Gerald left, she blew out her breath. Why, oh why had she agreed to a date with Mr. creepoid?
Nicole! How fun that you found my blog! I LOVE writing. In fact, I'd love to JUST write someday. It's where my heart is. Teaching is fun, but it's not my passion, ya know? Oh well… I keep telling myself that God has a plan. 🙂 Glad you liked my stories!
Lynnette – don't you love when that happens? You read something and thinkg, "I do that!"
Thanks. I do that, but didn't realize it had a name.
After our dinner yesterday I decided to check out your Tweets and then landed on your blog. WOW – you blow me away! I had no idea you were a writer. I read the sneak peaks of your stories… I had that "can't put the book down" feeling and wished there was more to read. Congratulations on getting your short stories published in OCFM; I cannot wait to read them!
I took several creative writing courses in college, but haven't written in several years. You have reignited my excitement and I'm anxious to get back to it. Thank you!
Ralene – LOVE it! Great stuff. This is sort of like a voice exercise, isn't it? Thanks for playing!
Jeannie – I was laughing when I got to the end of yours. Not because it was funny, but because it was so good. I can totally picture the way she asks that question.
Come play everybody! It's way too much fun!
With her on his arm, Blake's eyes bounced right over me. The only proof he even saw me was the tightening around his lips. I wasn't going to have it. Announcing his engagement to her after kissing me last night?
The click of my heels sounded on the tile as I made my way straight toward him. I greeted people right and left, stopping once I reached him and Little Miss Can't Trust Her Fiance.
"Uh, Carly…" Blake had never sounded less like himself. He wouldn't look me in the eye.
I took control. "Blake, Leanne." I shook both their hands, letting my gaze rest on Blake. "I guess congratulations are in order. Had I known yesterday, I would have said something then." I smiled sweetly, my eyes not leaving his. "How are you today?"
Sara Jane stopped in front of room 412 and stared at the curtain beyond the door. She could hear the television and the familiar voices of Shaggy and Scooby. Sighing, she smoothed her nurse's scrubs. She had to be perky, had to be happy. She took a step into the room and whisked the curtain back.
His bright blue eyes lit up when he saw her, but his tuffs of golden blonde hair and emaciated form took her breath away. She held back tears. "How are you today?" she said, careful to keep her tone cheerful.
Eileen! I'm so glad my post sparked your memory. This book is awesome. So far I've used many of the ideas she has provided and it's taken my characters to a deeper level.
Katie, this is proof that I must reread all those books I read years ago. I went down to pick up my copy of Getting Into Character, because I didn't remember it was written by Brandilyn Collins. I wanted to see if it was the same book. It is, and I've got highlighting all the way through it. Must do another crash course. Thanks for sharing.
OMG what an awesome post. I want to play but I'll have to come back. My brain is not quite functioning yet this morning!
I really need a trip to the library!!!
Hey Jody! I love that idea too. It's actually my favorite part of dialogue!
Sherrinda! So glad the post was helpful! This subtexting stuff is something I've sort of done, but now that I know about it, will be much more deliberate about it. Glad you liked it enough to bookmark it! Thanks!
Thanks for the quick and easy explanation of subtexting! I jotted everything down on a notecard! I love the idea of being able to convey something in dialogue that has a dual meaning or an underlying tone.
