Younes Bendjima, ex-boyfriend of Kourtney Kardashian says he recently discovered CBD- Hosts a launch part for Mask Skincare

Younes Bendjima, model and ex-boyfriend of Kourtney Kardashian might live in Los Angeles, but he is not quite well known to the hip West Coast culture. On Thursday, Bendjima hosted a launch party for Mask Skincare, a beauty brand which sells sheet masks laced with the soothing cannabis compound.
He revealed at the launch event, that he'd only just learned about this stuff earlier that day. He confessed that he had started using CBD only a day before the launch. The Algerian star told Page Six Style at the party that he did not anything about CBD, THC or weed for that matter. He is not a smoking person but he learned great value for the CBD drug recently with everyone around him going gaga about its legalization, said Bendjima.
It was only then that he discovered the plethora of benefits CBD comes with. The brand;s sheet masks retail for $30 each; a box set of three sheets will cost around $85. Bendjima said that he instantly felt a difference in his skin after just one use of the sheet. Adding the mask in the usual skincare is actually quite easy.
"I use a lot of Caudalie, I have La Mer, I have a scrub from Kiehl's and that's about it. I'm not really into facials; I just take care of myself. Not too much, I leave that to women," he said.
The model said he usually scrubs once a week to exfoliate, since he works out a lot and also its healthy for the skin as well. Apart from this, he uses a lotion for night skincare routine which suffices for him.
CBD is not just infused in sheet masks but a ton lot of other beauty and lifestyle products such as lotions, creams, oils, scrubs and much more. The compound is a hemp derived substance which has anti-psychoactive and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps relieve pain, stress, anxiety, insomnia, depression and also treat severe ailments such as cancer, epilepsy and Alzheimer's.
Since the federal law passed in December 2018 legalized hemp derived cannabinoid with low levels of THC, tetrahydro cannabinoid, another chemical found in cannabis plants. THC is known to have psychoactive properties which can alter the state of mind and causes the 'high' that people experience while smoking weed.
Also, people who smoked weed for a longer period of time with high potency of THC reported severe hallucinations, mental disorders and even led to decrease in memory retention. The federal law allows only 0.3% THC in CBD infused products which will not have any negative impact on the users. However, it is advised that consumers consult their doctor or medical examiner before using any CBD based product, especially if they have an ongoing medical prescription.
The Food and Drug Administration has allowed CBD only in a drug which is used to treat two rare forms of epilepsy. Despite of the stringent regulations put by the FDA on CBD infused edibles, companies are creating CBD based food and drinks to capture the consumer market.
The agency is yet to set a regulatory framework for using CBD in May. It will hold a public hearing to discuss the possible spectrum of CBD as a chemical to treat patients and also what impact could it have on different people at different stages of life. Until then, beauty and lifestyle companies are free to curate CBD infused products.

Coca Cola Denies Rumors Regarding CBD-infused Product Development
Coca-Cola has no plans to enter the CBD market with its products, dismissing rumors about the company selling beverages incorporated with hemp oil.
Kent Landers, Coca Cola spokesperson, said in an interview with FOX Business that the speculations are not valid. He reiterated that the beverage giant had no intention of joining the CBD craze as what they have stated several times.
The rumors have arisen after a Youtube video of a man popping open a can of Coca Cola and claiming that it is infused with cannabidiol oil, a cannabis leaf extract typically used to alleviate pain without causing a high. The video has since been deleted.
The Youtube user who made the video, "Gabor the Blind Guy", claimed to the viewers that he got ahold of the product via his father who allegedly produced capping and bottling machines for several primary food and pharmaceutical companies.
He further stated that his father was contacted by Coca Cola Canada to develop a machine that would produce childproof caps for Coca Cola cans. The company is said to release a new line of products infused with cannabidiol extracts, which are considered as cannabis-based substances as declared by Gabor.
Coca Cola was supposedly looking into a collaboration with Aurora Cannabis, a Canada-based cannabis production company. The beverage powerhouse allegedly eyed the CBD market since it grew in demand, as reported by Bloomberg last September of 2018.
Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger, CEO and Vice-Chair of Berkshire Hathway, respectively, indicated that Coca Cola joining the marijuana industry would not be right. In an interview with FOX Business Liz Claman, the experts said that entering the CBD market will be detrimental to the wholesome image that the company has kept throughout years.
Munger stated during the Berkshire Hathway Annual Shareholders Meeting held in Omaha, Nebraska that going into the cannabis market is a massive mistake for the company. The company's image does not align with cannabis and its related products.
James Quincey, Coca-Cola CEO, dispelled the speculation in October, declaring that the company does not plan to get into the CBD space at this stage.
More about CBD
Cannabidiol oil has gained significant popularity over the recent years because of the positive reception from users. CBD is now known as an almost magical remedy that cures or alleviates pain, sleeplessness, anxiety, and more. Users claim that CBD is useful in resolving a broad range of health conditions.
However, there is still no formal regulatory framework for CBD from the Food and Drug Administration or FDA, the regulating body that is supposed to safeguard consumers from fake and harmful products. Many advocates, cannabis groups and even members of the House have called on FDA to hasten the process of providing a clear set of guidelines for the use and sale of CBD products.
The only FDA-approved medication out in the market today is Epidiolex, a drug used as an adjunct treatment for intractable epilepsy. It means that other CBD products out in the market today cannot be advertised as medication or food supplements, which makes adds to the confusion regarding the legality of the industry and the products.
CBD-Based Wellness and Skincare Products for Newbies
Active ingredients in skin care products can take hours of research, and several clinical trials to determine which ones really work. While nature-derived substances are considered safer, some allergies and skin sensitivities can still cause a reaction when using natural remedies.
Cannabidiol or CBD is the latest natural ingredient that has sparked interest in the wellness industry. It is extracted from Cannabis sativa L., the source plant for hemp and marijuana. Many questions arose regarding the application of CBD on skincare: does it work? What are the benefits of using it for wellness and beauty? Does it give a "high" when used, like in marijuana?
To clarify, cannabidiol is derived from the non-psychotropic component of marijuana. It has little to no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content, which is the compound responsible for the psychoactive effect of the drug. Several countries have banned CBD products, but most formulations are safe to use and have zero dependency potential.
In terms of skincare benefits, CBD can be used to soothe, calm, and relax the skin. CBD is touted to have anti-inflammatory effects, which makes it a viable cure for acne. It is also believed to bring balance to skin sebum levels, controlling breakouts. CBD, as a plant-based ingredient, is rich in anti-oxidants and reduces wrinkles, roughness, and dull skin.
It might be confusing or intimidating to start on a CBD-based skin regimen. Some factors to take note of when choosing a CBD product for skin care are the method of extraction, packaging, purity and INCI compliance.
Here are some CBD-based skincare products that you can incorporate into your CBD routine.
Cannuka combines CBD oil and Manuka Honey to provide its all-natural skincare solution. Some of their products include CBD Harmonizing Face Cream, CBD Skin Balm, and CBD Calming Eye Balm, which showcase the healing capabilities of both ingredients. The products were created for the purpose of skin therapy.
The company ensures thoughtful harvesting, sustainable sourcing, and quality. Their hemp farms are known to produce quality cannabidiol since 2014. Their Manuka honey is sourced from an established farm in New Zealand.
Populum
For evening skin routine, the Lavender CBD Face Oil from Populum is an excellent choice. It is made of full-spectrum hemp oil and incorporated with lavender to give a calming sense while also working towards reducing signs of aging. The effect is a more youthful and radiant skin after applying during the night.
CBD and lavender are a good combination, which provides antioxidants, and as well as give a soothing effect for an improved mood and wellness.
Lily CBD
Lily CBD is a company that values integrity, safety standards, and paying it forward. Their CBD-infused product, Essential Oil Rollers, is promoted as a gift item for loved ones with a busy schedule. They incorporate full-spectrum cannabidiol in their products and have travel-friendly skincare items that minimize discomfort after a long trip.
Bathing's Cultures CBD product is Dipsea Soak, which is specially formulated to reduce stress and provide a relaxing bath experience.
Fleur Marche
Fleur Marche is known for its informative labeling and transparency of their products. The Starter Kit is their offering for people wanting to start a CBD routine, with products such as Balance Drops, Nite Nite Patch, Luxury Beauty Serum, CBD Mint Truffles, and CBD & Honey Ache and Pain Relief Stick that are best-selling for their effectiveness.
They Call Her Alfie
The premium collagen and certified CBD make They Call Her Alfie products a hit in the market. They offer fast-acting skincare on their Forever Firming Duet Set, which works to rejuvenate and reinvigorate the skin.
76% of Americans Falsely Believe FDA Regulates CBD
In a survey conducted by the Grocery Manufacturers Association, more than three-quarters of Americans have assumed that CBD products sold commercially are controlled by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which is mostly untrue.
Of the 2,056 respondents who joined the survey, 76% believed that CBD-based products were regulated by the FDA, while 16% of the respondents were doubtful as to the regulation of CBD by the FDA. The study marked around 92% of Americans who are still confused by CBD regulations or apparent lack thereof.
What the study revealed
According to the study, over 6 in 10 Americans or 62% of the respondents are aware of cannabidiol products, but most of them are mistaken or doubtful about the nature of CBD, its effects, and whether all CBD-containing products are safe for consumption.
The only cannabidiol-based product that FDA has approved is Epidiolex, a medicine derived from marijuana that is used for the treatment of specific seizure disorders. The FDA stated that more studies need to be conducted before they can hand the approval for CBD, whether mixed in cosmetics, food, or other products. That, despite topical and salves being openly marketed at big retailers such as Walgreens, CVS, and Kroger.
The popular assumption regarding CBD stems from the 2018 Farm Bill. It legalized industrial hemp, which is where cannabidiol is derived. Jeff Lawrence, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment director of Environmental Health and Sustainability, stated that the federal approval granted to hemp made consumers assume that CBD products are now regulated and legal even if it's not the case. The Farm Bill only approved fiber and seed products derived from industrial hemp, not CBD.
A look at CBD in Colorado
Cannabidiol has become a commodity over the years. Lawrence said that they had observed it in Colorado, where marijuana and other cannabis-derived products are somewhat progressive.
Lawrence added that Colorado made efforts to oversee CBD within the state. The Colorado Legislature allowed hemp and hemp-derived cannabidiol as a food and cosmetics additive since 2018.
States that legalized marijuana and have progressive industrial hemp laws like Oregon and Colorado have regulated CBD use. However, there were certain factors that prevented the FDA from researching about CBD easily until recently.
Before the Farm Bill, hemp was included in the federal list of controlled substances, along with heroin and THC-laden marijuana, which means that studies on CBD were undertaken by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). However, now that hemp is legal, Lawrence believes that federal research on CBD will experience change.
Lawrence further stated that the FDA had little capacity to inspect CBD from a medical viewpoint. Now, the agency is still trying to understand what CBD really is.
FDA stance on CBD
Although the FDA still has much to do about CBD regulation, the agency stressed that the substance is still illegal as an additive to consumed products. However, the CBD industry is still booming despite it. The agency recently penned warning letters to fifteen CBD companies that use fake promotional claims on their products.
While the FDA is yet to issue official guidelines on CBD regulations, consumers are responsible for choosing which CBD products to buy and use, and conduct a self-research on how such products may affect them. It includes inspecting the product label, third-part lab test procedures, and the company's reputation.
Some reports have shown that several products could have more or less of their advertised THC or CBD content.
Lawrence believes that CBD-based product testing is a crucial issue to be handled by the CDPHE and the Governor's administration. He stated that the emerging industry could have companies that only look to cash in on the craze. The department is set on ensuring that CBD products are clearly labeled, hemp-derived, and contain the right dosage.
He also hopes that this CBD growth will encourage Colorado state departments to create new regulations. He sees the need for the alignment of benefits concerning the agricultural crop, whether in Colorado or other parts of the country.

A May 31, 2009 handout photo released by Joseph Carnevale shows a sculpture made of traffic barrels by Carnevale in Raleigh, N.C.. Carnevale says he didn't have a grandiose point to make when he chopped up orange-and-white traffic barrels and turned them into a massive statue of a hitchhiking roadside monster. But the North Carolina college student has become a celebrity artist of sorts since city police charged him with possession of stolen goods. And now, the construction company whose barrels he took wants to keep the statue.

So to clear up a few hiccups shift/control/alt/e for a stamped copy layer...mac users, well you can sort it out for yourselves...surely!!
There is a dobbing big watermark advertising Techsmith, just having a trial with this software so we'll all have to put up with it.
email, message send a note strapped to a pigeons leg if you have any queries...as ever I kiss you all on both cheeks.
Service advisory ... check your serial number...HA no need to..every other shot the mirror locks and ERR appears in the top LCD window... seems like the issues surrounding the D750 continue.. first the lens mount flare and now wonky shutters...but here's a funny thing, if I switched to manual then the problem went away...so maybe there is something else going on under the hood, software perchance??
For those of long memories and what is probably a disturbing ability to recall some of the fluff from this blog..I did mention on my piece about the D750 when I recorded my first impressions that it felt curiously under engineered..tiny usb cable, no prism viewfinder lock a bit wibbly wobbly like the original sets of Dr Who, in a way which is opposite to the 'made from girders' feel that my old D700 still has.
Now as the wind chill outside is hovering around -10 I'm not too bothered about being out there snapping but as the weather is supposed to return to it's late winter norm over night I thought I'd do the next blog piece on what I'm going to do photographically this next year and more importantly...what kit I am going to be using ...which hopefully will include an ERRant D750.
Okay they were all sharp, spotted, treated for any chromatic abberations, the relevant size and color balanced, a few brushing at the envelope of creativity but just photographs...so I did something about it.
Just a note to thank the many thousands of you visitors who have dropped in over the last 5 years just over 400,000 of you unique individuals and as I'm now a token frenchman I kiss you all on both cheeks....... bonne annee mes amis... may your image making be as unique as you are.
Well I hope Santa left what you wanted and that the terrors of going back to work after the festive period are receding now that the weekend is upon us once again. Had just short of 2 weeks back in the UK, lots of motoring about seeing folk, getting the car fixed (almost) and trying out some new imagery techniques as well. Now I say imagery techniques, I'm using a camera to record things in order to create an image as I want to see it, whilst not necessarily being the scene that is in front of me. So not a photo then?? Well technically yes, I can take and present a photo, just look at all the mono stuff I knocked out before christmas, compose click bang let the camera do all the work stick it on the web....simple, maybe the way all photography should be.....maybe the mantra 'get it right in the camera' is the first thing that pops up on the screen when you open Lightroom or Photoshop...anyhow, for those of you who have bravely wrestled with this blog you'll know that I've talked about seeing the image you want before you take it, pre-visualise, bit like the pre-cogs in Minority Report lolling around in that paddling pool with Tom Cruise doing what Tom Cruise always does...well yes.

Day 6 at the Fringe
Three plays, three full houses

The angelic cast of Go to Hell
Down for the Count by James Boyer
James Boyer writes middle-aged women very well.
In his short play Down for the Count , he manages to celebrate both the power and confidence that can be gained with age while also recognizing the vulnerability that comes with realizing there are fewer days ahead than behind.
The story is a snapshot of a group of women who have just lost the friend who was at the centre of their friendship. As they gather together over a bottle of gin, they rehash the past and talk about the future.
Because the play is set in the hours after the funeral when reminiscences are inevitable, the dialogue that fills the audience in on the back-story is believable. There are some very funny lines and some acute observations. (Although some of the dialogue, particularly a speech about local food, comes off as more of an information piece than natural conversation.)
Actors Carolyn Boyer, Elaine Casey and Helen Goodwin, all veterans of community theatre, work well together and are believable as life-long friends.
This is not ground-breaking theatre, but it is a nice little exploration of the challenges of getting older.
Plan B, 35 minutes, $10
September 6 @ 7:00 PM
L: A fragmentation Subway Waltz by Kristin Slaney
L: A Fragmentation Subway Waltz is a disorienting ride into a young girl's fragmented psyche.
Lesley Smith stars in this one-woman show about a university student referred to as "L" who has grown up in a family split between two cultures, two languages and two faiths. Her father's death is the crisis that fractures L's identity.
Smith gives a strong performance, transforming from a French-speaking professor, to a timid lost soul, to an in-your-face youth on the verge of violence.
The non-linear structure of the story-telling is an apt fit for its subject matter, and is very effective in conveying a sense of disorientation to the audience.
And though there appears to be several logical inconsistencies at the beginning, they are resolved when L's full, sad story is revealed in the end.
The Living Room, 45 Minutes, $7
Go To Hell by Michael Best
When you go to sleep with numerous plays jostling for room in you brain, it's interesting to see what you wake up thinking about.
This morning, my first thought as I opened my eyes was, "I really liked that Matthew Lumley death-on-a-bull-riding- machine scene".
Michael Best's irreverent comedy Go To Hell skewers stereotypes left right and centre, so it only makes sense that the play's central gay character Johnson (Lumley) would die in a country and western bar after a dance number with "Baby Cowboy".
The only way that Johnson, who's sent to hell for the crime of being gay, can escape an eternity of torture is to return to earth and turn five straight men gay.
Best has assembled a cast of strong actors, but the one who stood out most for me in this talented bunch is Tara Doyle. She brought unexpected depth to the role of the over-sexed preacher's daughter.
The humour is bawdy and broad and oh-so politically incorrect (as if you couldn't tell from the synopsis) but this is a play that works on several levels, ultimately delivering some interesting ideas about redemption in a very, very funny way.

Doha-ha - Hostage contractors
Good Morning from Qatar:
Every time I land in the main airport in Doha I am amazed at how much it has been expanded and improved. Then again an increase in air traffic, transfers and international visitors are processed through the capital since I worked here briefly in 2011. The World Cup will be held here in 2022, so building is booming and thousands of ex-pat "workers" are brought in to serve the needs of this small but wealthy Sheikdom. However the more recent news catching worldwide attention in the past year was the fact that Qatar paid the highest ransom ever known for the return of members of their ruling family - the Al Thani's.
Not only was the 1 billion dollars paid to the "kidnappers" but at least $125 million more was doled out for "side payments"-contractors and middle people from Iraq and Syria representing various violent groups. The players list included: Al Qaida, Hamas, Al Nusra, Kataib Hezbollah, The Muslim Brotherhood among the "Terrorist Top Ten". (see links below for more specifics) It is almost comical that the 28 members of the royal family of Qatar who ignored warnings about going falcon hunting in southern Iraq, ended up being the hunted. One of the main reasons Qatar was sanctioned, borders were closed and diplomatic ties were severed by it's neighbors was because they all objected to this complex hostage negotiation and payment. They suspected it was also a cover for supporting various Iranian backed militias as well.
Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim Al-Thani, second left in front row, welcomes released kidnapped members of Qatar's ruling family at the Doha airport, Qatar April 2017
Moreover, lately Doha has hosted not so secret/top secret meetings between the US State Department and the Taliban. The Taliban still has an office in Doha flying their Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan flag out front which so infuriated former President Hamid Karzai back in 2013. The Taliban is said to control more than 70% of Afghanistan at present. This statistic is stated by official reports which have downplayed the Taliban resurgence.
Meanwhile the US has finally called for an end to supporting these violent extremist/terrorist groups yet still fulfills contracts for weapon sales to Qatar (albeit some contracts signed before the Trump presidency). A 12 billion USD deal (with Boeing company to benefit most) for the sale of fighter jets to Qatar does make for conflicted messages coming so soon after the announcement by President Trump about Qatar being a "sponsor of terror groups" and the USA not wanting to go along with them on that platform any longer. www.vox.com/world/2017/6/16/15810998/trump-qatar-arms-sale-plane-f15
"The deal was in the works for a while — it's actually part of a larger $21 billion agreement made back in November 2016, in the waning weeks of the Obama administration. "
Actually, since John McCain just died it is important to remember that one of his legacies is that he dealt in a bi-partisan manner when it came to pushing his political cohorts to remove embargoes, sanctions, impediments to weapons deals around the world. Whether it was to former adversaries including Vietnam, Libya, Iran,eastern European countries, Saudi Arabia, conflict areas including Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, `Ukraine, Sudan and oh yes....Qatar. Senator John McCain was there. www.dw.com/en/us-senate-refuses-to-block-saudi-arabia-arms-sale/a-19567173 (see more links below)
Like most of the Gulf (GCC) countries in the near east region, Qatar relies on ex-pat labor and the number of ex-pat residents living and working in Qatar is a 7-1 ration (7 expats for every Qatari). Workers may not apply for citizenship and you cannot remain in Qatar without the appropriate visa sponsored by the government. I know from personal experience and the accounts of numerous expats and through online forums, that the "bait and switch" with contracts especially in the education and health sectors, is frequent. This is another type of indentured servitude.
You are sent an LOA-letter of agreement which has specific terms for salary, benefits, duties; upon arrival you are given another contract which is often different and includes more duties, hours, less benefits and sometimes even a different salary. If you do not sign you must leave the country and pay for your own ticket out.
There are no "rights" for non-citizens. You do not have unions or labor boards in the GCC. If you want to go through their courts you must pay a lawyer yourself and they will delay the proceedings which means you will be out of the country due to your visa expiring. A "Catch 22" which always works in their favor. In a way, you are a wage slave hostage once you are there. A comfortable slave, at least in the education and health sectors, but not in lower status jobs such as the construction or "hospitality" industries. Sometimes the contractor literally shackles workers to their transport and locks them away 12 to a room, taking away their passports. Beware!
Taliban office in Qatar without flag flying. Quite a building for a VEG, eh?! Who funded this?
Be mindful of this labor practice before you decide to contract for a position in Qatar (or the UAE, Bahrain, KSA for that matter). The exception is if you work directly for a US/UK based organisation or institution and naturally if you are employed by the DOD or DOS they have their own agreement with the Sheikdom. There are US universities such as Georgetown University School of Foreign Service, Texas A&M university, Cornell and NYU with branches and their own HR department in these countries. These larger, established universities have "waasta" -leverage and pull, other schools do not. All their high school, middle and lower schools fall under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Education council or a similar GCC Ministry of Education (MOE) department. They are the only game in town granting permits to operate legally for private as well as public education providers.
It is also important to know and remember that all GCC countries are basically theocracies. Sharia law applies and is enforced. People have been arrested for holding hands in public. Expats have been deported for kissing on the beach, hugging in a restaurant. Citizen "vigilantes" with their cell phone cameras are everywhere.
However, Qatar trades part of it's public image on the fact they "won" the bid for hosting the World Cup in 2022. The evidence of bribes and "donations" persists and the money spent to beautify, upgrade and display Qatar for the world is in the billions of dollars and on the sweating, overworked backs of more than 60,000 additional ex-pat workers brought in from countries where grinding poverty faces them with little choice than to leave their families for some possibility of financial remumeration in a country that will use and forget them. (see link) They may even die in this peaceful country with no money spent to return their bodies to their families. Hundreds have already. Trafficking in other industries including the sex trade-which flourishes in the underground economy of the GCC Muslim nations-persists in the glitz, glamour and facade of the men in white flowing thaubs and the women dressed in black abayas. All this for "the beautiful game" of football /soccer and tourism.
What we often choose to forget is that this all continues because of the aggressive thirst for fossil fuels for energy. The fact the Gulf countries have the natural resources in abundance which the industrialized world craves, means they will continue to rake in billions of dollars in revenues and work together to control the price and the power that goes hand in fist. Who or what they decide to spend those billions on- is their choice.
Frustrating as it may be to observe from the outside, the ruling GCC families are large, entitled, autocratic and entrenched. Most western families would find it hard to muster 28 members together to go to a wedding or funeral together much less travel for an ensemble hunting holiday. Most western families would be reluctant to use their savings to retrieve their own kin from the clutches of kidnappers. Their own governments would hardly help even if their family member was an ambassador. Their own governments may not know who and how to negotiate for release.
The US, Australia and Canada still have hostages taken by some of these same groups the Al Thani's negotiate with and give money to support. The Qataris have become adept at cultivating contracts and contractors in all sectors. That's the way it has evolved.
Meantime, the violent extremist groups are laughing, ha ha ha...all the way to the banks. What and how the banks, including 'respectable' name commercial institutions such as HSBC, launder this blood money-well that is research reserved for another post.
Keep alert and always read the fine print...in any contract.
Also, please remember AUAF (American University of Afghanistan) faculty members Kevin King (USA) and Tim Weeks (Australia) who were kidnapped in August 2016, and are still being held hostage. Keep them in your prayers if you would and keep raising awareness of their situation to any members of their/our respective governments to bring them home before they perish. www.fbi.gov/wanted/kidnap/kevin-king (see link below)

Kashan is a city in the Isfahan province of Iran. Kashan is the first of the large oases along the Qom-Kerman road which runs along the edge of the central deserts of Iran. Its charm is thus mainly due to the contrast between the parched immensities of the deserts and the greenery of the well-tended oasis. Archeological discoveries in the Sialk Hillocks which lie 4 km (2.5 miles) west of Kashan reveal that this region was one of the primary centers of civilization in pre-historic ages. Hence Kashan dates back to the Elamite period of Iran. The Sialk ziggurat still stands today in the suburbs of Kashan after 7000 years. After well-known Iranian historical cities such as Isfahan and Shiraz, Kashan is a common destination for foreign tourists because of its many historical sites.
Kashan is divided into two parts, mountainous and desert. In the west side, Kashan is cited in the neighbourhood of two of the highest peaks of Karkas chain, Mount Gargash to the southwest of Kashan (the home of Iran national observatory, the largest astronomical telescope of Iran) and Mount Ardehaal in the west of Kashan, also known as "Damavand of Kashan" and the highest peak of Ardehaal mountains (end part of Karkas chain in central Iran).
In the east side of the city, Kashan opens up to the central desert of Iran which the city is famous for. Kashan is also known for Maranjab Desert and Caravanserai located near the namak lake (or salt lake). Today Maranjab and the surrounding Shifting Sands is a popular destination at the weekends. if you are looking for a complete guide about Kashan, check out this article: travel to Kashan

We craft our wines using grapes harvested from our Sundial Vineyard on the Black Sage Bench, south of Oliver in the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia. Nature guided our decisions on which grape varieties would be best suited to this site; since 1993 we've listened closely to our vineyard, making slight changes along the way. For us, making wine is about time and place. It's investing our time: documenting and studying each vintage, paying attention to our vines, and noting that which is discernable only when we take a moment to pause. It also means respecting our lands: using mindful farming practices, employing new technologies to reduce our environmental footprint, and listening for the unique qualities of our terroir.


Yes, the expert's verdict is on. Joe, my 9-year old nephew has indeed confirmed, without a shadow of a doubt that Imperia pasta is in fact the BEST tasting pasta on the planet.
The question you need to ask yourself though (but only if you're still not sure about getting the market-leading homepage pasta maker machine) is - WHY does Imperia pasta taste better?
The answer my friend, is all in the way this Rolls Royce of pasta machines is built.
Ferraris. Lamborhinis. The Imperia Pasta Machine. All built with precision Italian engineering and a focus on speed of operation. The other really cool thing about the pasta machine is that it's very fast to clean as well. No long soaks or scrubbing, just a quick wipe down with a damp cloth and your machine is good to go again. It's a great addition to anyone's kitchen.
You won't find a non Imperia pasta machine taking the kind of stick I give my Imperia machine. This bad boy takes some serious abuse and will be around in my kitchen for years creating long-living and wonderful pasta memories for a lifetime.
Plus - the other factor at play is that you get a free Imperia pasta recipe book thrown into the mix which also helps! :-) You can't go wrong making your own homemade pasta UNLESS you don't buy Imperia, then you'll be making a big mistake.
Imperia Pasta - it's all in the taste..
Why does Imperia pasta taste better than other pasta? It's dead simple, here's the 3 reasons why..

and identify opportunities for the Parks Board to expand them.
In order to produce a comprehensive scan of environmental education programming challenges and opportunities, a total of 23 community centres across Vancouver were surveyed between 5 groups in our class. Our group focused on 4 downtown community centres: Coal Harbour, West End, Roundhouse, and False Creek. Through online research and in-person interviews with community centre programmers, we wrote a group report, executive summary, and presented a poster of our findings.
Parks Board with facilitators of programs at community centres to cultivate support for environmental education. Further surveys and analysis of local practitioners of environmental education will be conducted in the future to develop strategies for implementation.
Tadah! The cover page of our group report!
Examples: community gardening programs, cedar basket weaving, removing invasive plants.
As I have been involved in environmental education as a volunteer at the Vancouver Aquarium for the past 2 years, this project was an exciting opportunity to combine my own experiences as someone involved in implementing educational programs to broader understandings of the behind the scenes research and city policy that drives these initiatives forward.
One exciting aspect of this project has been learning about and forming connections to the City of Vancouver's strategic plans such as the Environmental Education Stewardship Plan and Biodiversity Strategy which both promote the enhancement of and access to Vancouver's natural areas.
In general, we found that there were very few environmental education programs currently available at the 4 community centres. Most programs are indoors and range from arts and craft to natural beauty product making and horticulture. Fewer activities occur outdoor, and when they do they are mostly out-trips or walks around the neighbourhood that happen in the Spring and Summer. This was mostly due to issues of lack of partners with expertise in environmental education, funding, and access to parks and natural areas.
One major opportunity we identified through the interviews with the programmers to easily expand environmental education across the four community centres was through integration to pre-existing programs. This was defined as "potential programs" in the findings pie chart of the poster and included for example: a meaningful discussion of marine ecosystems and ocean pollution in kayaking lessons or the importance of native bird species in a bird house making woodwork class.
Create environmental education training for programmers, that is designed to cater to demographic needs so that programmers can learn how to include environmental education specific to their neighbourhood.
that can act as potential partners in running these programs.
education by increasing targeted funding to offset costs for instructors and partners.
Coordinating interviews with community centre programmers amidst busy schedules.
Transcribing and interpreting data collected from the online program registration system and interviews to formulate a concise set of findings.
On a personal note, it was my first time designing a poster with this much information and while it was quite challenging, I enjoyed exercising my artsy side of cartography :)!
Designed and presented a poster to summarize the project scope, methodology, and findings of environmental education in Downtown Vancouver using Adobe InDesign.
Wrote a comprehensive report with 4 classmates to summarize the findings, challenges, and opportunities of implementing environmental education at 4 Vancouver community centres.
Conducted interviews with Community Centre Programmers to collect primary data on available programs, community interest, and challenges of implementing environmental education.

The man responsible for making what has become one of the most famous alleged alien films in the world recently spoke the the UK's Metro News, admitting that he had created the video. He says he made it as a joke, but he regrets that it has fooled so many people. One of the men who paid for the creation of the film told the Daily Express that although the film is fake, it was based off of real footage. However, there are many reasons to doubt this account.
What has come to be known as the "Alien Autopsy" in UFO circles was first made famous in a TV documentary in 1995. The show was called Alien Autopsy – Fact or Fiction, produced by Robert Kiviat in 1995 and hosted by Star Trek's Jonathan Frakes.
The film was purportedly of an alien that was recovered at the famous alleged crash of an extraterrestrial spacecraft outside of Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. However, it was quickly picked apart and was found to be fake. Still, the filmmakers purportedly made millions.
The movie was owned by Ray Santilli and Gary Shoefield. To defend their participation in the hoax, Santilli claimed that they really were given a piece of film of the alien autopsy by a mysterious cameraman who they say they confirmed was a US Air Force cameraman in 1947. They claim the film had deteriorated, so they hired people to make a recreation.
Spyros Melaris told Metro News he was the guy hired to make the film, but he says the whole thing came from his imagination, not any mysterious footage.
Melaris says he hired sculptor John Humphreys, a special effects expert, who among other shows, has worked on Dr. Who. Humphreys created the aliens, and for the innards, they obtained cow and lamb organs from a local butcher.
To further fool people, Melaris says they spliced their footage into real 1947 newsreel to look more authentic.
As for Humphreys, he has also come forward regarding his involvement. UK UFO researcher, and frequent contributor to OpenMinds.tv, Philip Mantle has been investigating the Alien Autopsy for years, and has corresponded with Humphreys.
Humphreys also, ironically, worked on a movie about Sheffield and Santilli's creation of the hoaxed film. It generally followed Santilli's claim that they had seen real footage and tried to create it. The movie started comedy team Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, known as Ant and Dec. At the end of the movie, after the two had been exposed as hoaxers, they receive the "real" footage, but it was too late.
This "real" footage was grainy black and white film, and sure enough, rumors started that the footage used in the movie was the real footage Santilli had seen. This rumor was supposedly given credence by Santilli himself. When confronted, he told Mantle that he could not talk about it, adding to the mystery.
Humphreys was not so shy. He told Mantle that he had created the props for the entire movie, including the new black and white film at the end.
But the story does not end there. As recently as today, the Daily Express released an exclusive interview with Santilli who stands by his claim that the real footage exists. In fact, he provided an image that allegedly shows a piece of the real film. However, he still will not reveal the name of the man who provided him the film.
Gareth Watson, an actor who played a doctor in the fake video, says he was also lead to believe there was real film footage and he saw it.
If Watson is right, and the footage is of such poor quality, how could they have recreated it?
At one point, years ago, our organization was offered the opportunity to examine a piece of the "real" film, but we were told we could not be proved a piece that had an image of the alien or anything else from the autopsy footage. But it was allegedly a piece from the reel. Without being able to prove that, it was not worth our time.
But let's take a closer look at the image Santilli provided the Daily Express. Scott Brando runs ufoofinterest.org. He is also active on social media and carefully examines UFO and alien claims. He tweeted me something he noticed, which is that the image Santilli provided the Daily Express looks like a negative of a still from the hoaxed alien autopsy video. Of course it is also scuffed up to look old. He provided the image below, and it does look spot on.
So this once again seems to be Santilli up to his old tricks. Why doesn't he give up? Maybe he loves the attention and is still making money. He claims he may release the entire film at some point in the future, but I would guess it would need to involve a lot of money and that it will be inconclusive in the end.
Well, not everyone. Most UFO researchers didn't buy it, but many UFO enthusiasts have. Either way, many interested in the UFO phenomenon will find it hard to forgive Melaris as the search for the smoking gun continues. I'de be willing to wager that if a smoking gun is found, it is not Santilli who has it.
October 2, 2017: Jon Auston of the Daily Express followed up on his interview with Santilli. He found an expert who agreed with Brando's discover that the "new" image was actually a doctored still from the hoaxed film. Auston also attempted to get a resonse from Santilli on this discovery, but Santilli seems to be alluding him, and has yet to make a statement.You can read the new Daily Express article here.

LESSONS OF EARTH DAY ARE EVIDENT EVERYDAY AT NATURE'S HIGHWAY
"It's really comforting to know that when we watch our plants grow, that eventually they're going to end up in our product," says Nature's Highway founder John Jameson.
It was inspired by a United States Senator from Wisconsin, who witnessed an oil spill off the coast of California and was motivated by student-led protests against the Vietnam War. On April 22, 1970, millions took to streets, parks and college campuses to demand more responsible environmental practices, and the Earth Day movement was born.
That first Earth Day had an immediate and transformative effect, leading to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency and federal approval of the Clean Air, Clean Water and Endangered Species acts. And 50 years later, its impact continues, furthered by companies like Nature's Highway that engage in responsible, sustainable farming practices in the creation of CBD products that consumers can trust.
"It's really comforting to know that when we watch our plants grow, that eventually they're going to end up in our product," says Nature's Highway founder John Jameson. "So it's cool to see it from the beginning to the end. And if there's something that's not right, we can put a halt to it."
In recognition of Earth Day, April 22, Nature's Highway is having a 20 percent off sale on everything on its website. But the commitment to Earth Day's greater meaning continues year-round, thanks to a "seed to sale" philosophy that makes the company a leader in producing responsibly-sourced CBD products.
PURITY CONSUMERS CAN TRUST
When the federal Farm Bill of 2018 legalized the cultivation of industrial hemp, it also gave a tacit go-ahead to the collection of its byproduct cannabidiol—which in turn launched the billion-dollar CBD industry. Although hemp is a close cousin to marijuana, it lacks the psychotropic compound that induces a high, and millions of consumers have used CBD to help with anxiety, chronic pain, sleep disorders and other issues.
But the lack of regulation has turned the CBD industry into a wild west of sorts, and irresponsible vendors can fill bottles with CBD containing pesticides or other contaminants, or little to no CBD at all. In that environment, it's up to the companies themselves to engender consumer confidence by proving the purity of their products—which for Nature's Highway, begins with cultivating its own hemp on a South Carolina farm.
Like a lot of other companies, Nature's Highway could have outsourced the hemp-growing process, or simply bought wholesale CBD oil. Instead, Jameson partnered with longtime friend Andy Fogle, CEO of Carolina Fresh Farms in Neeses, S.C. The result is a facility at which Nature's Highway grows and harvests its own hemp, and then extracts the crude CBD oil on-site—enabling it to directly control production, and set itself apart by delivering goods of a quality and purity level that few competitors can match.
AN INDUSTRY MODEL
And the lessons of Earth Day are regularly apparent at the farm where Nature's Highway grows its hemp. This isn't large-scale agribusiness, but a sustainable hands-on endeavor supervised by two horticulturists and a family of third-generation farmers. The hemp is crop-rotated, which gives the land a chance to refresh itself, leads to larger harvests for the farmers, and results in a higher-quality product for the consumer.
The responsible farming practices undertaken by Nature's Highway, which exceed organic standards, also include minimal use of outside agents on a hemp plant that doesn't tolerate many chemicals anyway and thrives in the sandy soil of the South Carolina Midlands region. And the on-site extraction process uses as a solvent, not the heavy acetates some other companies apply, but ethanol—a natural product derived from the fermentation of sugars.
The result is a process that meshes with one of the central campaigns of the Earth Day movement, a desire to reduce the environmental impacts of agriculture. Nature's Highway could have tossed all of its hemp onto a truck, and had the crude CBD oil extracted somewhere else. It could have bought crude oil, hemp plants or even hemp seeds from one of the large operations out west and had it transported to South Carolina. Cultivating its own hemp and extracting its own CBD oil isn't the easy way—but it's the responsible way.
The result is a process that meshes with one of the central campaigns of the Earth Day movement, a desire to reduce the environmental impacts of agriculture.
And on Earth Day, Nature's Highway stands as a model in an industry full of retailers who take shortcuts.

Ho v. Whitman, et al.
Newman Ferrara LLP Files Shareholder Derivative Action Against the Board of Directors of Hewlett-Packard Company.
NEW YORK, January 22, 2013 (BUSINESS WIRE) – Newman Ferrara LLP announced today that it filed a shareholder derivative action in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of San Mateo (Case No. 519336) against the board of directors of Hewlett-Packard Company ("HP") in connection with HP's acquisition of Autonomy Corporation ("Autonomy").
On August 18, 2011, HP acquired Autonomy for $10.2 billion. On November 20, 2012, HP announced that it had taken an $8.8 billion write-down from its acquisition of Autonomy due to accounting improprieties that existed at Autonomy. On this news, HP's stock plunged to its 52-week low of $11.35 per share.
Newman Ferrara's Complaint alleges that the defendants failed to conduct proper due diligence with regard to HP's acquisition of Autonomy, consciously disregarding numerous red flags alerting them to Autonomy's accounting improprieties. The Complaint alleges that the defendants have breached their fiduciary duties and have caused HP to waste corporate assets.


The Ventair Ultraflo 200 high airflow extraction axial exhaust fan is perfect for use in rooms where a standard extraction fan is not enough. With long life ball bearing motor and back draft shutter, this powerful unit comes with all the features you'd expect from an exhaust fan while still maintaining a standard 290 mm hole cut out size.
*It is important to note that there are factors that may affect the airflow of any exhaust/extraction fan. A couple of important ones are that there needs to be enough room for the extracted air to escape in the ceiling/wall cavity (see min. installation depth) and that there is no insulation or other obstructions blocking the outlet. Another important factor, especially with stronger units, is that there needs to be an opening in the room for air to come in as it's being extracted (such as an open window). If the room is completely sealed or the opening is not big enough, as the air is being extracted from the room, there is no "new" air to replace it. This in effect causes the units to be nearly completely ineffective. If you would like more information please visit the Ventair website or contact us.
