Q: JavaScript Center Align How can I align the entire script to center? I've never actually coded before in javascript and I just want to modify a quick bookmarklet. I've tried stuff like align=center for different components of the script but no luck. Is there something like <center> (in html) for js?
Thanks
EDIT: basically i want this to be centered on a page
function dEmbed(){
    var iframe = document.createElement("iframe");
    iframe.src = 'http://www.google.com';
    iframe.style.width = w+'px';
    iframe.style.height= h+'px';
    iframe.style.border= "0";
    iframe.style.margin= "0";
    iframe.setAttribute("scrolling","no");
    iframe.setAttribute("id","NAME");
    document.body.insertBefore(iframe, document.body.firstChild);
}

A: You can't centre a script, it doesn't look like anything so there is nothing to centre.
If the script generates some HTML, then you can to centre the generated elements. This should be done using the usual CSS techniques applied to the generated element.
(<center> and the align attribute were deprecated in 1998 and shouldn't be used).

A: I was able to achieve this by injecting the iframe into an existing div with text-align: center.
Here is the example: http://jsfiddle.net/MarkKramer/PYX5s/4/

A: Try changing:
iframe.style.margin= "0";

To:
iframe.style.margin= "auto";

If it doesn't work, let me know in a comment.
OK, try this change instead, change:
var iframe = document.createElement("iframe");

to:
var div = document.createElement("div");
div.style.width = w+'px';
div.style.margin= "auto";
var iframe = document.createElement("iframe");

And change:
document.body.insertBefore(iframe, document.body.firstChild);

To:
div.appendChild(iframe);
document.body.insertBefore(div, document.body.firstChild);

An evening of casual elegance raised over $26,000 for St. James Mercy Foundation.
The second-annual "Diamonds and Denim" event on?Oct. 8 attracted over 100 guests for an evening of casual dining, dancing, raffles and a silent charity auction that featured the goods and services of 60 local merchants. The silent auction alone raised over $3,500.
Proceeds raised at the event provide direct support to St. James Mercy Hospital for equipment purchases including digital mammography, physical therapy, cardiac rehabilitation, adult day programs and other vital services.
The biggest prize of the evening, a pair of one carat blue diamond earrings donated from McHenry Jewelers, was won by Jeff Cornish.
"Our sponsors and donors are at the heart of the event," said Bryant. Event sponsors included Excellus, Exigence, Guthrie Healthcare System, Harris Beach, Larry's Latrines, Onics Direct, Procair, Simmons Rockwell Ford, St. James Mercy Medical Staff, Steuben Trust Company, The Bonadio Group, Dr. Bradley Truax, and Universal Health Network.
Among the many contributors of gifts and services were Ted Adornato, Covered Wagon Tours, Doug's Flower Shop, Hornell Golf Club, Hornell Partners for Growth, McHenry Jewelers, Sodexo, and Hornell Area Family YMCA. A complete list of sponsors and donors can be found at www.stjamesmercy.org/foundation-ball.shtml.
The evening also included tapas dining provided by John Carbone and Cynthia's Cookies, and music by rock 'n roll band Nik Lite.
"It was a fun party atmosphere and we thank Hornell Golf Club for providing the perfect venue," said event co-chair and Foundation Board member Lisa Marino-Schwartz in a prepared release. "Guests and volunteers had a great time, and most importantly, we raised a lot of money for the Hospital."
The next "Diamonds & Denim" is scheduled for October 6, 2012 at Hornell Golf Club.


Despite numerous scholarly attempts, there is a lack of consensus regarding the relevance of various factors influencing consumer's intention to purchase organic food. The purpose of this study is to asses the impact of subjective and personal norms on consumer attitude toward buying organic food. Moreover, this study aims to explore the moderating role of contextual factors - product knowledge and consumer scepticism on the norms- attitude link. Data were collected through an online survey on a sample of 212 organic food buyers in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Moderated regression analysis was used to test the hypothesized relations between the constructs of interest. Findings indicate the subjective and personal norms are positively and significantly related to consumer attitude toward organic food purchases. Also, our findings revealed that product knowledge strengthens the subjective norms-attitude relationship, while consumer scepticism toward organic food claims weakens the subjective norms-attitude link. This study informs producers, marketers, and policy-makers about the relative importance of norms, scepticism, and knowledge in the context of organic food consumption.

Levothyroxine (Leventa, Novothyrox, Synthroid) is a synthetic form of one of the hormones produced by the thyroid gland. If you have hypothyroidism, your doctor may prescribe levothyroxine to help boost your levels of this hormone. Taking too much levothyroxine -- either intentionally or unintentionally --can be dangerous. A mild overdose can cause symptoms of hyperthyroidism, but massive overdoses can cause potentially life-threatening effects.
Many of the signs of hyperthyroidism caused by taking too much levothyroxine can be found in the skin. Too much levothyroxine can make the skin unusually warm, due to increased blood flow. Levothyroxine also increases metabolism, causing your body to generate more heat. As a result, you may perspire more if you take too much levothyroxine and find you are more sensitive to heat. Levothyroxine overdoses can cause a dangerously high fever, known as malignant hyperthermia.
Too much levothyroxine can also affect your digestive tract. Many people lose weight, despite a normal or increased appetite. Excess levothyroxine can also cause more frequent bowel movements or diarrhea, as the hormone speeds the movement of food through the digestive tract.
Taking too much levothyroxine can affect your mood and nervous system. Some people feel restless, irritable or nervous. The extra thyroid hormone can also cause fine tremors, especially in the hands. Other signs include trouble concentrating, problems with memory and confusion. Insomnia is also common in people who take too much levothyroxine. In cases of severe levothyroxine overdose, people can fall into a coma.
The heart is also affected by high doses of levothyroxine. A rapid and possibly irregular heartbeat is common. In some people, an overdose of levothyroxine can cause heart failure, particularly if they have underlying heart disease.
Although taking too much levothyroxine can cause only mild symptoms, severe health problems may develop. If you are taking levothyroxine and notice symptoms that may indicate excess thyroid hormone in your body, talk with your doctor about your dose. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience confusion, chest pain, palpitations or trouble breathing.

month after adding surveys to Instagram Stories, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's brainchild will certainly currently allow users post polls to the NewsFeed - How To Do A Poll On Facebook.
Polls are limited to two choices, which can be spiced up with images or GIFs. They can be uploaded the same way you 'd publish a condition upgrade, yet one of the most vital item of details: these surveys are not confidential. It's uncertain if Facebook will provide anonymous ballot in the future.
3. Write your concern into the standing box where it claims "Ask a question" as well as fill out the two options you desire people to choose in between.
4. Post your very own images or choose from the hundreds of GIFs available to add a visual part to the poll.
5. Establish when you want your poll to end- it can be a day, a week, or a personalized time frame.
7. As the maker, you and also the people that voted on the poll can see how others elected.
" We've likewise had different kinds of polls within the Facebook app for many years, but also for the past a number of years there's been nobody way for both individuals as well as Pages to quickly poll friends and followers," a Facebook spokesperson tells Inverse.
When the poll function debuted on Instagram, many individuals were not aware their ballots were not confidential. Customers rapidly found themselves in hot water as well as ashamed when poll makers saw and also reacted to their not-so-nice answers.
Maybe Facebook is leaving the anonymous ballot to the positive-oriented messaging application tbh, which the business acquired last month. Polls are not even truly a brand-new point to Facebook itself-- text-only surveys were able to be developed on pages and also occasions, in groups, and also most just recently in teams talks in the Messenger app.
While Facebook claims it released its most recent poll function on all gadgets, it's still rolling out to iOS as well as Android users.
" We remain in the process of rolling out surveys throughout systems as well as expect that everybody ought to have the ability to see them by the end of the day on mobile," a Facebook rep tells Inverse.
For now, you could poll your heart away on your Internet internet browser, where creating a poll will resemble this:.
So possibly from now on, your Facebook friends will only share their viewpoints when you in fact request them, and also your grandma will stop providing unwanted guidance and also discourse on each and every single one of your conditions. Or you know, possibly not.

Health Minister Tony Ryall should stop down-playing the pressure he is putting on District Health Boards and take their difficulties in delivering more services on less money seriously, says Labour's Health spokesperson, Maryan Street.
"It is misleading to trumpet that record amounts of money are going into DHBs when they have not even been given enough to cover ordinary cost increases, let alone take on extra services," Maryan Street said.
"Prioritising spending is always par for the course in the health sector, but these deliberate government pressures for short-term gain and political advantage are debilitating Boards' ability to provide quality service.
"Mistakes are being made and people are suffering as a result," Maryan Street said.
"More work in preventative measures and early intervention is required if New Zealanders' health is to improve.
"It is in the long-term interests of New Zealanders to invest in public health and disease prevention. DHBs will benefit further down the line and money is saved in the process.
"Serious mistakes in hospitals are a symptom of pressure and inadequate resourcing. We need long-term strategic thinking in the sector," Maryan Street said.

Best CBD Gummies for Anxiety and Stress in 2022
Jaclyn DiazDecember 27, 2022
CBD gummies are a popular option for people to manage their anxiety naturally. But the CBD industry is large, can be confusing, and is filled with companies whose products might not be all they promise. So what makes the best CBD gummies for anxiety, and how do you find the best brand for you?
Several factors can be used to measure the quality of a CBD company and the products they have to offer. We've used them to come up with the best CBD gummies for anxiety, including:
Keep reading to see more about our criteria for the best CBD brands and why these companies made the cut.
1. Best Overall CBD Gummies for Anxiety – Zatural
Zatural
As its name suggests, Zatural's CBD gummies are pretty close to natural, giving people who struggle with anxiety and watch what they eat one less thing to worry about.
The company boasts use of no fillers, additives, binders, or lubricants and only amplifies its ingredients with things like natural berry extract to add color and flavor. Plus, the star of the show—the company's hemp—is sustainably-sourced, contributing to an overall healthier manufacturing process.
The final product winds up being vegan-friendly, gluten-free, kosher, and allergen-free. And third-party testing allows concerned customers to check in on those claims, with Zatural's lab work proving the CBD gummies are safe and up to standards.

2. Best Broad Spectrum CBD Gummies – FOCL
FOCL
When it comes to broad spectrum CBD products — that is, those involving all the perks of the hemp-based compound without the THC — FOCL delivers a great gummy.
The company utilizes refreshingly few ingredients to make its non-GMO treats, which are all-natural and include several organic ingredients. The CBD gummies are also great for people on all types of diets, including those staying away from animal products and gluten.
The final product is third-party lab tested to ensure overall quality and safety. And test results are posted on every page of the website, providing easy access for any interested parties. Plus, customers loved the flavor profiles presented by the company, which uses all-natural stuff to make a treat that tastes more like a smoothie than a health supplement.
Tasty flavor varieties
3. Best Organic CBD Gummies – Extract Labs
Extract Labs
The only thing with more organic products than Extract Labs' ingredients list might be the produce aisle at Whole Foods.
The company's mixture involves a venerable shopping list of certified organic fare, including the all-important organic hemp, which works to significantly boost the safety and overall quality of the CBD gummies.
These all-natural additives also have a reputation for naturally boosting moods and relieving stress, including spirulina and citric acid. And the turmeric involved can help reduce inflammation, making the product an excellent bet for anyone with anxiety accompanied by muscle or joint pain.
And that the company can—and does—ship internationally makes it a rare breed and one that many far-flung customers appreciate.
Domestically-grown hemp
Potency is high for beginners
4. Best CBD Isolate – Green Roads
Green Roads' Extra Strength CBD gummies only exist because customers loved the original product so much. And, as the old maxim says, the customers were right.
The CBD used for these gummy bears is domestically grown and extracted using safe separation methods. A third-party lab tests the final formula to ensure safety and quality. But it's not all work and no play—the gummies come in a variety of flavors that customers like the taste of.
And while the gummies include a higher dose of CBD, it doesn't mean there's a higher risk of feeling funny from the formula. As a CBD isolate, this CBD product doesn't include any other parts of the hemp plant – meaning it's entirely THC-free, which is a huge perk for many customers.
Variety of flavors
5. Great for Seniors – Joy Organics CBD Gummies
As you might guess from the company's name, the ingredients used in these CBD products are all-natural and almost entirely organic, including organic hemp grown in the United States, a sign of the product's overall quality. To prove it, Joy Organics has each batch of their CBD gummies third-party tested, looking for both the presence of any dangerous substances and the promised amount of CBD.
The CBD involved being broad spectrum only adds to its wide appeal, excluding the psychoactive component of THC but leaving in all the other plant parts that give cannabidiol its magic. And customers love the flavor of the CBD gummies (produced by all-natural products), which gives the whole thing a delicious finish that doesn't taste anything like its hemp origins.

Third-party tested
6. Best CBD Gummies for Everyday Use – Koi CBD
Koi CBD prides itself on the science of its products, and its CBD gummies are no exception.
The company utilizes a unique proprietary blend that ensures the CBD is distributed evenly throughout their gummies, making for a more even effect from the CBD product. And the rest of the ingredients don't hurt either, with Koi using several natural ingredients to create a vegan-friendly and kosher product.
You can trust that the product is safe for long-term use, thanks to the extensive testing Koi CBD goes through for each batch of gummies. Products are thoroughly tested from their inception, going through a total of three third-party lab tests per process, where the overall quality and safety of the product are checked and rechecked.
Variety of sizes
Lemonade flavor
Limited discounts available
7. Best Full Spectrum CBD Gummies – CBDistillery
CBDistillery
For those looking to cover the full spectrum of CBD's possibilities, CBDistillery offers an incredible product.
The company's CBD gummies are crafted with full spectrum CBD oil grown domestically on farms that utilize certified organic practices, giving it a safe and healthy natural boost. In addition, lab tests ordered for each CBD product batch further certify that it's safe and as advertised.
Customers love the strength of the gummies, complimenting the company for the enhanced value it gave the product. Though, at 30 mg per pop, these CBD gummies may be a bit too high of a dose for a true beginner. But otherwise, rave reviews piled up for the brand's ability to deliver on less anxiety and better sleep.
Domestically produced
Potency may be too high for beginners
8. Best CBD Gummies for Beginners – CBDfx
CBDfx routinely finds its way on best-of lists, and for good reason. The company goes above and beyond to ensure that all parts of its products are safe and high-quality.
For their CBD gummies, CBDfx sources organic hemp and processes it using the industry-standard CO2 method—considered among the safest extraction methods—before packaging the whole thing together with a mix of all-natural ingredients. The whole thing ends up third-party tested to ensure everything is above-board.
Customers love that these CBD gummies taste much more like berries than hemp, with little aftertaste. And the company offers a variety of options, including one with apple cider vinegar to help with digestion and metabolism, and one with spirulina and turmeric, for anyone looking for an antioxidant boost.
All-natural ingredients
Free shipping only on certain orders
9. Great for Everyday Stressors – Sunday Scaries
Sunday Scaries
Named after the impending feeling of doom that sets in as the work week approaches, Sunday Scaries' best CBD gummies for anxiety are crafted to help eliminate that type of issue.
The company starts strong, using organic hemp grown in Colorado, and even name-dropping the exact growers who supply them on their website. But then Sunday Scaries goes one step further, enhancing their wholesome broad spectrum CBD gummies with ingredients like vitamin D3 and vitamin B12, both known as natural mood and energy boosters.
To top it off, the products are tested by third-party labs that ensure everything advertised is going into the gummies and that the CBD products are as safe as they claim to be. Customers also love how the versatile formula helps alleviate morning-time stress and encourage a good night's sleep.
Less potent than other products
10. Best CBD Gummies for Sleep – Just CBD
Just CBD
It's unfortunate that many people who struggle with anxiety also struggle with getting a full night's sleep. But Just CBD's patented formula can help those customers rest easier.
The secret is that these CBD gummies also include a dose of melatonin, the compound that helps bring on the feeling of sleepiness. Still, as the combination is an all-natural source of the feeling, it doesn't leave a sluggish hangover in the morning.
Instead, customers report feeling refreshed and well-rested after eating these CBD gummies. And fans also loved the gummy bear shape of the product, which reminded them more of a childhood treat than an adult's health supplement, plus the variety of flavors in each pack.
Wide range of strengths and sizes
Mix of different flavors
How We Choose Our Top 10
Several considerations go into choosing our top products, from different aspects of the manufacturing process to the ethos and intentions of the brand itself.
Quality Sourcing and Processing
The quality of most products depends on the quality of their ingredients, but that maxim goes double for CBD gummies. Hemp—the plant CBD is derived from—has particularly absorptive roots that soak up everything in the soil around them, whether helpful nutrients or harmful chemicals.
That's why it's essential for companies to use trusted farms and farmers who utilize safe—and, preferably, organic—growing practices. Domestically-sourced hemp is particularly known for adhering to these high standards.
But organic hemp is only one part of the process. It's equally important to ensure companies use safe and tested methods to extract CBD from the hemp plant and have these procedures performed by experts in an appropriate facility.
There are ways to make sure CBD companies follow these standards, aside from taking their word for it.
A number of lab tests are available to check the quality of the hemp being used, including measuring the amount of CBD in any given batch and flagging any dangerous substances that might find their way into the plant. Having these tests performed by a third-party, who are not connected to the CBD producers, adds an extra layer of assurance and objectivity.
Yet, despite its importance, this aspect of producing CBD gummies is still technically voluntary for companies at this point. Obviously, the businesses that go the extra mile are the ones that stand out in the field. And posting those results online shows even more commitment to quality.
Anxiety can cause many disruptions to daily life and is difficult enough to deal with on its own. And gambling on a product that doesn't work can only add to anxiety levels. That's why efficiency is a paramount concern.
Lab results are certainly one way to ensure a product is safe and will do what it says it will. But the old word-of-mouth method is also useful, with verified online reviews shedding light on what customers thought was worthwhile—or not—about the brand or product.
Ingredient Integrity
When talking about the best CBD gummies, the number one ingredient to think about is hemp. Since the plant can so easily absorb dangerous chemicals in the soil, it's particularly important to ensure it was grown without pesticides and using organic processes.
Yet, hemp is not the only ingredient in CBD gummies for anxiety. Often, there are a number of other things in the mix to add color, flavor, or other nutritional perks. And it's equally important to make sure these ingredients are all-natural or organic when possible, especially considering how many botanical solutions there are for things like creating better taste and texture.
Mission-Driven Brands
While CBD is now technically legal to add to any number of products, the landscape of the CBD market is still widely unregulated—and left wide-open to schemers and get-rich-quick brands hoping to cash in on a trend.
One way to weed out these less-ethically minded companies is to look for brands that focus on a bigger mission. The desire to help people, pets, and the planet can speak volumes about why someone got into the business at all—and the type of quality they'll likely strive for in their products.
How Does CBD Help With Anxiety?
There are so many health claims related to CBD products that many people may think they're untrue or an exaggerated bit of marketing. But the chemical compound is actually pretty miraculous, thanks to how it interacts with the body.
Scientifically known as cannabidiol, CBD is a type of plant-based compound called a cannabinoid, and these chemicals interact directly with something in the body called the endocannabinoid system (ECS).
Made up of a network of sensors, the ECS covers nearly every part of the body, monitoring everything from temperature to hormone levels to help keep the body in a state of internal balance, called stasis. And while scientists are still figuring out the specifics, it appears that CBD works directly with these ECS receptors, helping the endocannabinoid system function faster and better overall.
Since the ECS is so expansive, CBD can help fine-tune the body's internal mechanisms for responding to nearly everything, from dry skin to depression.
And when it comes to reducing anxiety, the internal system can help in two ways. First, endocannabinoid system receptors can help ensure hormone levels are balanced to promote better mental health. And the system also speaks to the muscles of the body, helping keep them relaxed, which signals to the brain that everything's alright, leading to a cascade of other hormones that help promote peace and calmness.
How to Choose CBD Gummies for Anxiety
When picking the best CBD gummies for anxiety, there are several factors to keep in mind.
First, you'll want to consider the potency of the product. Figuring out strength can be particularly confusing when it comes to CBD products—especially tinctures—as some math is needed to determine how much CBD is in each drop or bottle. Luckily, most CBD gummies are much easier to gauge, with every gummy containing the same amount of CBD. But you should still consider how much CBD you want or need in your routine overall.
Dosage recommendations vary by product and by person. You may want to talk to a doctor or other professional before starting a routine, especially if you already take medication or have other health conditions.
Type of CBD
You'll also want to consider whether CBD isolate, full spectrum CBD, or broad spectrum CBD is best for you. (Learn more about these types of gummies for anxiety below.)
Otherwise, aside from ensuring a brand is doing its best to create a safe product, it's important to consider factors like cost, taste, and what type of CBD gummies work best for your routine. Shopping around is the best way to ensure you're getting the best CBD gummies for you.
Taking CBD Gummies for the First Time
With so many products and potentially conflicting information out there, taking CBD can be just as intimidating as it is beneficial. But there are some tips that might make the practice easier to start.
Figuring out dose strength and options can be particularly confusing. The compound is typically measured out in milligrams. Anything up to 10 mg represents a more beginner dose, 20-40 mg of CBD marking a more intermediate amount, and anything higher than that is typically considered a more potent punch.
Of course, other factors like individual physiology and tolerance can come into play when determining how much CBD you should take. But it's best to start by following the dosing instructions provided by the company.
Still, even when you're taking the correct amount of CBD, you very likely may not feel the product at all. In fact, this is most people's misconception when it comes to taking CBD.
Some people may feel a slight sense of euphoria or a small body high. This can come from other parts of the hemp plant in CBD products—including, sometimes, small amounts of THC—but by and large, cannabidiol doesn't have any physical effects.
That's because CBD itself isn't a narcotic; the body's response to being more in balance is what typically produces these feel-good results. But reaching that can also take time, with some experts estimating it takes as long as 3 weeks of daily use for CBD to make its full impact.
Types of CBD
Another factor to consider when determining the best CBD gummies for you is the type of CBD being used in the product.
Typically, the compound comes in one of three forms: Full spectrum, broad spectrum, and CBD isolate.
Full Spectrum CBD and Broad Spectrum CBD
Full spectrum CBD contains every part of the hemp plant, including other cannabinoids and plant parts called flavonoids and terpenes, which add to things like flavor, smell, and color. Some scientists think these compounds go even further, contributing to the entourage effect, which is the heightened effect produced when all of these compounds work together. (While widely believed, this theory has yet to be conclusively proven.)
While many people like the idea of working toward the entourage effect, they either don't like or can't have one particular cannabinoid: Tetrahydrocannabinol. More commonly known as THC, this is the psychoactive compound that makes marijuana so trippy. And while trace amounts of THC are included in full spectrum CBD products, broad spectrum CBD was created to work around it, with the hemp extract altered to include every other plant part while leaving out the THC.
CBD isolate goes one step further, representing nothing but the pure CBD compound. This product might be best for people with food sensitivities or who simply aren't interested in any other part of the hemp plant.
Other Ways to Deal With Anxiety and Stress
CBD gummies aren't the only CBD product on the market that can help with anxiety and stress.
Cannabidiol actually comes in many forms:
CBD tinctures, which mix CBD into a carrier oil, such as coconut oil, and use a dropper to administer doses
CBD edibles, which mix the hemp plant product into everything from gummies to mints
CBD lotions or salves, which are meant to be rubbed directly into the skin.
Just as the type of CBD and the strength of CBD can make a difference in how the compound is experienced, the delivery system also impacts the kind of effects CBD may have. Experimenting with different methods of taking CBD might be helpful if CBD gummies aren't working to alleviate anxiety.
Of course, CBD isn't the only thing that can help with stress. A number of lifestyle choices have been identified to help people naturally manage their anxiety levels, including exercises like yoga and walking, mindfulness practices, and therapy. Even simply talking to a trusted friend or confidant or writing out thoughts and feelings can help someone simultaneously process their thoughts and get them out of their head, making more mental space for other things.
The main goal of these alternate methods typically involves helping the person focus on something else, whether it be an activity or even just breathing. Many methods also work by assisting people in expelling any excess energy that might otherwise be used toward fueling anxious feelings.
CBD products can come with a number of questions, especially when looking for the best CBD gummies.
What mg of CBD should I take?
The recommended dosage depends entirely from person to person. How many mg of CBD you need is related to your weight, metabolism, tolerance, stage of life, and the strength and type of CBD, among many other factors.
As a general rule, anything around or below 10 mg is considered a lower dose, 20 mg-40 mg of CBD is considered an intermediate dose, and anything higher than that is considered a more potent dose.
It's typically recommended to start with the smallest dose of CBD available and slowly increase that amount as time goes on. Most companies will also include dosing instructions or additional information. And you can and should also ask your doctor for advice before starting a CBD regimen.
How many gummies do I need to take?
Again, this answer will vary depending on your situation.
Brands will include different amounts of CBD in their CBD gummies and may have different gummies that use different types of CBD (full spectrum vs. CBD isolate, etc.). How many CBD gummies you need to take depends on this information and a number of factors involving your individual physiology.
As a general rule, you should start by taking the number of gummies recommended on the product label.
Do CBD gummies for anxiety actually work?
Scientific studies on CBD make up a small, though growing, arm of research. But while a number of claims about the compound have yet to be explored, CBD's link to anxiety has been examined several times.
Studies have shown that CBD decreased both physical and psychological signs of stress in rats. And while the results seemed conclusive and telling, there have still been few, if any, experiments on the compound's use in people.
How long does it take for CBD gummies to kick in?
Like most questions related to CBD products, the answers to this one all depend. Factors include:
Whether the CBD gummies are made with full spectrum CBD, broad spectrum CBD, or CBD isolate
How strong those concentrations are
The delivery method used
It may also depend on your tolerance, age, or even how much you've had to eat that day.
Depending on how these factors shake out, experts estimate it could take anywhere from 5 minutes to half an hour to feel the effects of CBD. But for the compound to reach its fullest potential, it may take some time to build up in the body, with around 3 weeks needed to take full effect.
How long do CBD gummies last for?
While there's more debate on how long it takes CBD to kick in, there seem to be fewer outside factors impacting how long the effects of the compound last in the body. Many experts say CBD can last anywhere from 2 to 6 hours, depending on how much was taken and the delivery method used.
Who are CBD gummies safe for?
While more evidence is needed, most experts agree that CBD gummies are safe for most healthy adults (including seniors). However, CBD products are generally not recommended for children under age 18, pregnant women, or people with certain health conditions or on certain medications.
If you have any questions about whether you should be taking CBD, you should consult with your doctor.
Should You Try CBD Gummies for Anxiety?
Anxiety can be a debilitating disorder that negatively impacts many areas of life. But there is scientific evidence that CBD may be able to help.
The compound offers a natural way to help the body and the brain better manage stress and the types of hormones, and other chemicals it sets off that can create internal imbalance. And CBD edibles are a great way to incorporate that kind of help into a regular routine.

Drew Brees Deserves a Share of the MVP Award
By - Kris Fletcher
As Aaron Rodgers tossed five touchdown passes in a win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday night, NBC commentator Chris Collinsworth repeatedly referred to the Green Bay quarterback as the NFL MVP.
While that vote hasn't happened yet, Collinsworth isn't the only person who considers it a foregone conclusion that Rodgers will win it.
Still, how is Drew Brees, the quarterback who has thrown for more yards in a season than any other in NFL history, basically an afterthought in the discussion?
Photo by: Chris Graythen
In reality, this should be one of the closest MVP votes ever.
Comparing the numbers is like splitting hairs. Brees has 444 more yards, while Rodgers has more touchdowns (45 to 41) and fewer interceptions (6 to 13).
Some have made the case that Rodgers means more to his team, particularly in a year in which the Packers were chasing perfection until a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Obviously, he's the heart and soul of Green Bay. However, Brees is just as important to the Saints. Without him, they don't win the NFC South, nor do they make the playoffs.
Also, had Brees' record come during an overall sub-par season for the team, it would be easier to dismiss. But New Orleans is currently 12-3, and look primed for another Super Bowl run.
They'll likely have to go through Wisconsin in order to get there, and everyone knows that's a tough place to play in January. Although, Monday's 45-16 dismantling of the Atlanta Falcons showed that the Saints are perfectly capable of going to Lambeau Field and getting the job done.
So, Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees? Who is really the league's Most Valuable Player?
I have a logical solution to this dilemma. A split title.
It's happened before. In 1997 with Brett Favre and Barry Sanders, and in 2003 with Peyton Manning and Steve McNair.
If ever it needed to happen again, it's this year, because there's no doubt Brees deserves his cut of the award.
Just ask Dan Marino.
Disagree. Brees plays over half his games in a dome stadium. Not having to deal with the elements all season long like Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady do is a huge advantage for Brees. He's had a good season, but he's not MVP worthy.
Rick Dobbs December 28, 2011 at 2:56 PM
I think he deserves a share of it as well. He shouldn't be punished because he plays indoors a lot. Still had a monster season. Right up there with what Rodgers has done.
Chris Gibson December 28, 2011 at 6:15 PM
Brees has been awesome. While I do think Rodgers should win it, I wouldn't have a problem with there being co-MVP's at all. Both guys have played great football all season long.
Adam B. December 28, 2011 at 7:03 PM
Wait, an NFL MVP post by Kris and not a SINGLE MENTION of Tom Brady in it? I'm in shock. You're still wrong though. Rodgers should be MVP hands down.
James Tomlin December 28, 2011 at 7:49 PM
Dude, Brees' rating is 14 points lower than Rodgers, and he's also thrown twice as many interceptions. NO WAY they should be co-MVPs.
James Holt December 28, 2011 at 10:55 PM
How about Brees for Offensive Player of the Year, and Rodgers for MVP? That way they both get something.

After a small Father's Day feast this morning - just Rick and me, and fresh whole wheat biscuits and scrambled eggs - I ran for the kiln to see what new hatchlings waited for me. The new Chaos Pendants were still talking to me yesterday, so I made a few more. I have to take the studio apart now, but at least I have some idea of where to pick things up creatively once we get going. These new things are noisy in my head. I can't ignore them, and I can't really take credit for them. I'm just following and allowing them to do what they want. If there's such a thing a "bead channeling", I think that's what I'm doing. I've felt that way about other designs over the years. The Lotus mostly, but also a few others. But with most of those, I felt the need to pack as much as possible into the beads. That was probably Ego talking, saying, Look at me! See what I can do, do, do! It's hard to hush that voice, especially when you're trying to get noticed. These days I'm not at all interested in making jam-packed, technically difficult beads. My new focus is on making very simple things that still make my heart sing. Like the Zen Enso paintings, just humble, simple circles that speak volumes. That's what I'm after. Clean design. Simple techniques. Knock-out results. It fits well with the way I'm trying to live my life, clean and simple, as uncomplicated as possible, and still beautiful and meaningful. It's a tricky balance, a work in progress.
how long till you head this way ..nw?
September! We have a nephew's wedding to attend on the 12th, and will be hanging around for the rest of the month after that. I'll come visit!

Despite pandemic, Dixie National Sale continues
4-H, 4-H Livestock Program, Youth Livestock, Join 4-H
Mr. Robert Nathan Gregory
MSU Extension Service
JACKSON, Miss. -- The Dixie National Sale of Junior Champions began in 1970 to encourage young people to pursue livestock projects and has been the culmination of the Dixie National Junior Round-Up ever since.
That annual tradition not only continued uninterrupted this year through the COVID-19 pandemic, but the number of animals shown during the week was actually up 3% from last year with 2,292 head of livestock.
The 52nd consecutive sale was held Feb. 11. Throughout the week, 1,593 4-H and FFA members participated in the round-up. Forty-five animals advanced to the sale as champion market animals. This year, the total sale amount generated since the event's inception eclipsed $8 million.
"Every participant we had this week exhibited more than just their animals," said Mississippi State University Extension 4-H livestock specialist Dean Jousan. "They showed an ability to clear even more hurdles than in a normal year just to make it to the round-up. Everyone involved, from the parents and event staff to exhibitors of animals featured in the sale, deserves praise."
The sale's committee launched a scholarship program in 1993. This year, 38 scholarships for 4-H and FFA high school seniors, premier exhibitors and exhibitors of supreme champion livestock scholarships totaling $60,000 in support were awarded. The total amount of scholarship funding awarded surpassed $1 million this year.
Mississippi Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce Andy Gipson said the decision to hold the event despite unusual circumstances was made with these young people in mind.
"This year has been probably the most challenging to have this event, but we made the decision working together as a team months ago that we will have the Dixie National Livestock Show no matter what, and we've successfully done that," Gipson said. "I got to sit down and visit with so many exhibitors who are graduating this year and would not have been eligible to come back next year. If we had not had this event, these scholarships would not have happened. If we had not had this event, these young people would not have been able to show the animals they raised and cared for all this time."
This year's sale included 45 champion market animals, including 16 hogs, 10 goats, 10 lambs and nine steers. The preliminary total sale was $390,925, which is the second largest total on record. Sale proceeds for hogs reached $132,500; steers, $93,000; goats, $78,675; and lambs, $85,250.
MSU Extension sends faculty and staff to assist with the event each year.
"We're proud of this event's legacy, but, more importantly, we're honoring these students here today who made the Sale of Champions, the scholarship winners and also all the exhibitors that were here this week," said Extension Director Gary Jackson. "It's extraordinary to be able to put this event on during a pandemic, and we're proud of our young people for using best safety practices like face coverings and social distancing and taking all that into consideration while getting this done."
This year's round-up also marked the first hosted at the new Mississippi Trade Mart. Opened in 2020 for the Mississippi State Fair, the $30 million, 110,000-square-foot facility features 63,000 square feet of column-free space that can be divided into three trade halls that connect to a 26,000-square-foot arena floor. The new building also has a covered space for outside events and opens into a new plaza shared with the Mississippi Coliseum.

GQ was invited to take the exclusive first look at the Mr Porter x Prada ready-to-wear capsule collection. Here's the inside track.
Continuing on from successful collaborations with Balenciaga and Gucci, Mr Porter now turns its gaze to Milanese powerhouse Prada. For the first time ever the Italian brand is teaming up with an online retailer, and the result will be a 32-piece capsule collection.
While plenty of brands a currently looking towards the Nineties for inspiration, the Mr Porter x Prada pairing (in true contrary form) instead explores the 1950s and 1980s.
The capsule collection will have you all set for spring. Consisting of slick blouson jackets in satin and suede, Hawaiian print camp-collar shirts, pleated gingham trousers and block-panelled cardigans which look like your granddad's, it's safe to say that this ballsy collection wouldn't look out of place at Brick Lane's All Star Lanes.
For us, the winning strike comes in the form of the shoes. The Mr Porter x Prada capsule collection sees the return of creepers, which - if you're not convinced by the thicker-soled trainers that everyone is rocking right now - will swerve you well.
Ryan Gosling could definitely have done with a few pieces from this collection for that bowling scene in Lars and the Real Girl.
The Mr Porter x Prada capsule collection launches on mrporter.com today, with prices ranging from £260 to £2,450.
Fifteen styles for any occasion.

Roots artist Corb Lund Covers AC/DC's "Ride On"
Corb Lund, one of Canada's most higly regardled roots artists, will be covering the AC/DC tune Ride On on his new album "Cover Your Tracks".
In the video for the track, we get to see one of Lund's long-time friends and role models Ian Tyson on Lund's family ranch.
In an interview with CMT.com, Lund confessed that shooting the video was quite the task, since they worked from early in the morning to really late at night.
The shooting took place at Lund's family ranch up in the Rocky Mountains where the weather can be unpredictable, but there were no wheater incidents during the shooting and the mountainous terrain provided a beautiful backdrop to the action.
"(…) the Rocky Mountains kind of steal the show in this video. They're always so majestic that they bring a powerful beauty to the whole thing." says Lund.
The visuals add hope
Ride On is a rather sad song about broken hopes and dreams, but also a bout hope and about moving on despite adversity. Lund says that he hopes to provide even more hope with the visuals.
"It's one of my favourite AC/DC songs and it's excellently written. But to me, our version has a bit more hope in it, especially with the visuals. I think the way we shot it gives it a bit more of a nostalgic feel, and isn't quite as bleak as the original," Lund explains. "And having Ian sing it with me gives the whole thing a multi-generational, "life goes on" flavour."
Ian Tyson
Ian Tyson (b. 1933) is a Canadian singer-songwriter and long-time friend of Lund. A former rodeo rider, Tyson is chiefly known for having written the songs "Four Strong Winds" and "Someday Soon", performed with partner Sylvia Tyson as the duo Ian & Sylvia.
"Watching it after putting all our work into it, the thing that strikes me most is how it reflects my and Ian's friendship. We've known each other for fifteen years or so, and though he's been kind of a hero of mine, at this point it feels more like a pal," Lund explained in the CTM inverview. "I sometimes have to remind myself of his stature as a songwriter. But I think our camaraderie is visible in a lot of the shots, and imbues the song with kind of a time depth, since Ian and I are of different generations."

New Chinese Survey Reveals Extensive Coastal Pollution

A national marine survey of China's marine resources paints a disturbing portrait of its current coastal environment. The survey was launched in 2004 by the Chinese State Oceanic Administration (SOA) and was finally completed last month.
The unpublished survey shows that roughly 90% of coastal cities suffer from intermittent water shortages. China's mangrove swamps have decreased in area by 73% and its coral reefs have diminished by 80% since the 1950s. The coastal wetlands have also shrunk by 57%.

One-third of the loss in coastal wetlands was due to land reclamation. In the past decade, there has been a continuous rise in pollutants discharged into river estuaries. Three-quarters of those discharges fail to meet regulatory limits. There are 48 estuaries contaminated with heavy metals, the insecticide dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and petroleum hydrocarbons.
When these pollutants are combined with the run-off from chemical fertilizers and animal manure from farmlands, there is a build-up of excessive nutrients and harmful algal blooms in coastal waters.
Over the past 20 years, there have been 83 red tides a year. The report warns of a general decline in coastal fishery resources and the krill in the East China Sea are on the verge of being extinct, which will severely impact yellow croakers that feed on them.
The survey doesn't go far enough in assessing coastal ecosystems, state some Chinese ecologists. Preliminary research has shown that coastal waters near Xiamen are more acidic, making it difficult for phytoplankton and the rest of the marine food web to survive. It's unclear how widespread or serious the problem is, because studies so far are piecemeal.

Jennifer Taylor Florida's Agriculture Woman Of The Year

Jennifer Taylor, an associate professor in Florida A&M University's College of Agriculture and Food Sciences, can thank her grandmother's fortitude for instilling in her the riches of the soil.
In the 1940s, Lola Hampton, a sharecropper, was able to purchase a 32 ½-acre farm in Glenwood, Georgia. She shared the abundance of fruits and vegetables with family and neighbors.
In 2010, Taylor and her husband, Ronald Gilmore, resurrected the farm, where they now are popular organic farmers, growing their own fruits and vegetables and teaching others of the benefits of organic farming.
At the same time, Taylor has earned a reputation as one of the state's most prolific promoters of agriculture, organic farming, education and sustainability.
On Feb. 10, Taylor will be honored as the "2019 Woman of the Year in Agriculture" during the Florida State Fair by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, in conjunction with the Florida State Fair Authority and the Florida Farm Bureau Women's Leadership Program.

For the past 35 years, the department has bestowed the honor on women who have made exceptional contributions to Florida agriculture. Previous honorees have made their mark in areas such as cattle, horticulture, timber, citrus, agriculture education, and more.
"It's my honor to announce Dr. Jennifer Taylor as Florida's Woman of the Year in Agriculture for her many contributions and outstanding leadership within our state's agriculture community," Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried said in her announcement this week.
"Forward thinkers and advocates like her are working to break barriers while leading the charge towards sustainable practices," Fried added. "Dr. Taylor's dedication to underserved farming communities and focus on organic farming systems is a source of inspiration."
In addition to her role as associate professor, Taylor also is coordinator of the FAMU Statewide Small Farm Program.
She is well known for involvement in promoting organic farming in Tallahassee and was one of the driving forces in establishing the weekly farmer's market at Lake Ella.

Terra Marascae - Why the Marasca cherry?
The Marasca cherry (Prunus cerasus var. marasca) is an autochthonous cherry, which looks back to a tradition of more than 500 years in Dalmatia.
In an UNDP-report for Croatia about the biological diversity in Dalmatia, experts have declared the Marasca cherry as the cherry with probably the highest overall quality properties worldwide.
Compared to other cherries, the Marasca is smaller in size and a little sour, but has considerable more dry matter (min. 25%).
The Marasca cherry is excellent for the production of various alcoholic beverages, for instance the famous Maraschino – liqueur. Royalty declared this liquor the "King of liqueurs". It is known that among others, Casanova, Alfred Hitchcock, George Bernard Shaw, Ernest Hemingway and Charlie Chaplin loved the Maraschino liqueur.
Along with the famous Maraschino, the cherry is used for the production of wines, juices, and teas with healing properties, marmalades and jams, dried fruits and much more.
Nutritionists not only recommend it to diabetics but also to healthy people e.g. drinking the healing Marasca teas and natural cherry juices.
The usage and consumption of the Marasca fruit and its favourable impact on the human body also makes it ideal for people suffering from any form of anaemia. Among other things the syrup is also used as a natural health and healing product.
The Marasca cherry is rich in carbohydrates, proteins, calcium, phosphorus, iron and many other minerals and vitamins.
You can find more information under the link "fruit & health".
Despite the fact that the Marasca cherry is one of the most important fruits in Croatia, it is far from reaching its economic peak. Market research has shown that the current offer and existing demand are in great disproportion in favour of demand.
This applies both to national and definitely also to international demand for this fruit and its products.

The existence of the modern design like Contemporary Living Room Ideas in a luxurious home can be it is a must. It is reasonable because the modern design of a luxurious home can be the main point of such home living. Talking about the modern living room design ideas, I remember that had a great experience when I went to Spain. In Spain, I dropped in my old friend's house. In her house, I found here are many great and unique things. They are including the existence of the shelving unit in the living room design in her house.
That living room design is very interesting for me because in her Contemporary Living Room Ideas Design, the room management inside is not like the other living room design. It is very extraordinary and to be honest, it was the first time for me to see such interior design. She has a large floor space of the living room. The living room in her house is also designed in a large design and I even thought that it is the massive design for the modern living room design.
If the other living room designs have the LCD TV at the front area of the house, this time not for my old friend's house. It is caused by the LCD TV of her living room is located on the left side of the living room. That living room looks great and looks interesting. I was really sure that the interior design of her living room will be my new inspiration when I was going to build my new house. That is a very nice and interesting house design that I have ever seen.
Besides that, in her living room, there are also a chair and a cushion chair. That is a very simple interior design in the living room of her living room. That is a very nice combination of the modern design in my old friend's house. That is a very nice interior design of a living room and lounge room. I also took several Contemporary Living Room Ideas Design Pictures from her house.

A távolugrás atlétikai versenyszám, az ugrószámok egyike. Célja, hogy nekifutásból elrugaszkodva a lehető legtávolabbra ugorjon a távolugró.

Története
Már az ókori görögök is ismerték. Napjainkban az olimpiai játékok versenyszámai közt is szerepel.

A pálya
A salakkal vagy szintetikus anyagokkal töltött futópálya minimum 40 m, maximum 45 m hosszú. Szélessége 1,22 és 1,25 m között van, mindkét oldalán 5 cm vastag fehér csíkkal.

Az ugrógödör legalább 9 m hosszú, 2,75 m széles és 30 cm mély homokkal töltött gödör. A homokot minden ugrásnál (az érvénytelennél is) el kell egyengetni. Az elugrás helyét egy fából vagy más alkalmas, merev anyagból készült 1,22-1,25 m hosszú, fehér gerendával kell jelölni, ez a rugaszkodóléc. A lécnek a futópályával egy szintben kell lennie, keresztezve azt. Mögé plasztilin betétet vagy homokot kell szórni, ami jelzi az esetleges belépést és az ugrás érvénytelenségét.

Hibás ugrások
Hibás a kísérlet, hogyha:

 a plasztilinon vagy a homokon lábnyom látható;
 a talajfogás során a leérkező helyen kívül érinti a talajt közelebb az elugrás helyéhez, mint az ugrás által előidézett, ahhoz legközelebbi nyom;
 az ugrás befejezése után a leérkező helyen keresztül megy vissza;
 a szabadátfordulás (szaltó) bármilyen formáját alkalmazza, akár a nekifutás, akár az ugrás során.

"Santa! Bring My Girlfriend Back!" - High Plains Drifters
Every year I like to look for a new, original Christmas song to lift my spirits and put me in that Christmas mood. With 2020 being the most dismal year since the flame went out on Neanderthal man's first fire, High Plains Drifters' "Santa! Bring My Girlfriend Back" is the perfect holiday jingle.
The genre-bending High Plains Drifters are a unique blend of Country, Blues, Soul, Rock, and Americana. You might even find a hint of post-punk angst in some of their tunes. For this track, the band amps up the musicianship with a swinging, jump and jive instrumental underneath a slightly awkward storytelling vocal reminiscent of Elmo & Patsy's "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer." You'll hear a great marimba sound blending perfectly with a full brass section that kicks the entire song right in the tookus.
The song was written by Larry Studnicky, the band's primary songwriter, after a complete Christmas party meltdown. The elements of comedy, musicianship, and Christmas cheer make this an uplifting, delightful listen for a less than delightful 2020.
Larry Studnicky, songwriter and creator of the genre-bending band High Plains Drifters, discusses the band's latest single "Santa! Bring My Girlfriend Back!" and so much more. Sit back and enjoy Larry's warm persona as he tells of his journey from Harvard Law to today's music scene.
