Unemployment In Scotland Falls More Than 10% In Three Months
Unemployment in Scotland dropped 10.1% in the third quarter of this year, with the jobless total at 103,000.
The figures for July to September also recorded a fall in the number of Scots who were in work.
New data from the Office for National Statistics showed unemployment decreased by 12,000 over the quarter, taking the jobless rate to 3.8% - lower than the 4.1% recorded across the UK as a whole.
At the same time the number of people in Scotland who were in work fell by 6,000 to stand at 2,636,000.
Unemployment fell for both men and women.
While the male jobless total went from 66,000 to 63,000 in July to September, the number of women out of work decreased from 49,000 to 40,000.
The fall in the jobless total in Scotland stands in contrast with the situation across the UK, with unemployment rising by 21,000 to 1.38 million in the three months to September.

Q: JavaScript Not Showing Date Functions I am trying to use a small portion of JavaScript in order to show how many days are left until New Year's Eve. However, I can't get any of it to show up on the webpage. I'll include the HTML and the library I am trying to use, if anybody can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. I was under the impression that HTML was able to understand Date() functions, but my teacher told me I would have to remove them in order to get the code working?

Here is the library.js code:
function NYEDays(CheckDay) {
    var XYear=CheckDay.getFullYear();
    var XDay=new Date("December, 31, 2015");
    XDay.setFullYear(XYear);
    var DayCount=(XDay-CheckDay)/(1000*60*60*24);
    DayCount=Math.round(DayCount);
    return DayCount;
}

I have to use the variables Today, ThisDay, ThisMonth, ThisYear, DaysLeft, and MonthTxt as an array.

A: I've refactored your code. Here's the JSFiddle for it: https://jsfiddle.net/vytfeq8k/

Meri Brown posted about the state of her half-unpacked kitchen and she obviously had a hard time preparing dinner.
"Sister Wives" fans know that Meri Brown and the rest of the family relocated from Las Vegas to Flagstaff, Arizona this year. Actually, rumors came out that Meri wouldn't go to Flagstaff. However, she put that to rest, noting they were all just rumors and nothing more. Later, she shared a photo of all the boxes stacked up awaiting unpacking. However, it looks like that chore never got finished as her kitchen seemed a bit chaotic for cooking Thanksgiving dinner.
Meri Brown's been so busy what with the move, spending time with her daughter in Chicago, and doing her Christmas shopping.
Meri loves nothing more than heading off on a road trip. She posted several photos in the past months showing her off doing things. But, she may have left it a bit too late when it comes to unpacking the kitchen boxes. Thanksgiving dinner seemed to be a bit of a hard mission for her. She took to her Instagram to share a photo.
"Sister Wives" fans read her caption, which was, "The chaos of the kitchen when I still haven't completely unpacked, and yet I need to find the essentials for cooking Thanksgiving dinner.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!" As is usual these days, her hashtags were all upbeat, as she embraces a new and happy philosophy. Fans fully support the way she's turning her life around. Not so many tears for Meri these days!
As you can see from the Instagram picture below, Meri wasn't joking about how hard it must be to cook in a kitchen mostly filled with boxes. Most of the space was taken up by boxes and tucked away in the corner lay the dog. Fans sympathized as some of them also moved and never finished the unpacking chore.
Some fans of "Sister Wives" asked if the plural family would eat in separate houses this year. Others wondered where on earth the turkey would go!
However, most followers wished her well for Thanksgiving. Actually, she has followers from all over the world.and well-wishers for a successful and happy Thanksgiving came from Spain, New Zealand, and South Africa. Others came from Sweden and Russia, as well as from the USA. Some of them wondered what was on the menu, especially when they spied a carton of Carnation evaporated milk.
Meri Brown has many supportive fans, and they love the way she's emerged from her personal issues stronger than ever. She lost weight, took up painting, and took control of her life. In past seasons, poor Meri cried a lot. Things went bad with Kody Brown, plus the divorce to accommodate Robyn's kids hurt her as well. The catfishing incident even caused issues between her and her daughter. However, she moved on and this year, she certainly has lots of personal growth to be thankful for at Thanksgiving.

Atlasjet Flight 4203 was a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Istanbul Atatürk Airport in Istanbul to Isparta Süleyman Demirel Airport in Isparta Province, Turkey. On 30 November 2007, the aircraft operating the flight – an McDonnell Douglas MD-83 which Atlasjet had leased from World Focus Airlines just five months before – crashed in the vicinity of Keçiborlu between the villages of Yenitepe and Çukurören while on approach, approximately  west of the destination airport. The flight had taken off from Istanbul at 00:51 EET with 50 passengers and 7 crew members on board. All 57 occupants perished in the accident.

Background

Aircraft
The aircraft that operated flight 4203 was a McDonnell Douglas MD-83 manufactured in August 1994 with serial number 53185. It was equipped with two Pratt & Whitney JT8D-219 turbofan engines.

The aircraft had initially been deployed to service at Reno Air in September 1994 where it was operated until August 1999, until its merger with American Airlines where it then served until March 2001. Subsequently, Turkish charter airline Freebird Airlines had purchased the aircraft and operated it until May 2005. Finally, World Focus Airlines acquired the aircraft and registered it as TC-AKM in May 2005. The MD-83 was leased to Turkish Airlines in late November the same year and was returned seven months later in June 2006. Eventually, World Focus Airlines sub-leased the aircraft to Atlasjet in late June 2007 for a five-month period.

Crew
The aircrew consisted of two pilots, one technician and four flight attendants. Captain Muhammet Serhat Özdemir, aged 48, was the pilot flying the aircraft. Mehmet Tahir Aksoy, a former Turkish Air Force pilot, was the first officer. He had joined World Focus Airlines just three months prior to the crash and had accumulated around 14 hours on the MD-83, well below the minimum 100 hours required by Turkish regulations. Of the seven crew members, three flight attendants were Atlasjet employees, both pilots, the technician and one flight attendant were employed by World Focus Airlines.

Passengers
All 50 passengers, one of whom was a six-week-old baby, were Turkish citizens. Among those on board was nuclear physicist Professor Dr. Engin Arik. She was accompanied by five other scientists traveling to attend a conference at Süleyman Demirel University in Isparta regarding the Turkish Accelerator Center Project. The six scientists were employed at different universities across Turkey and had decisive roles in the project. Prof. Arik was also working for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in the ATLAS and CAST experiments.

All passengers and crew members on board were killed by the accident.

Crash
Flight 4203 took off from Istanbul Atatürk Airport in Istanbul in the early hours of 30 November 2007 at 00:51 Eastern European Time (EET) (22:51 UTC on 29 November) bound for Isparta Süleyman Demirel Airport in Isparta Province in southwestern Turkey. The takeoff and climb out from Istanbul were uneventful.Twenty-seven minutes into the flight, Captain Özdemir told air traffic control (ATC) that they were approaching Isparta airport using VHF omnidirectional range, which is a type of short-range radio navigation system that enables aircraft to determine their position and stay on course; the rather small airport which serves mainly domestic flights was not equipped with the more sophisticated instrument landing system. At 01:36 EET, the crew made its last routine contact with ATC – absent of any abnormalities – saying that they "are inbound." The air traffic controller acknowledged the message, which constituted the last exchange of words between the crew and the ATC. Shortly after this transmission, the aircraft crashed.  Further attempts to contact the crew were futile.

Immediate response
After the estimated time of arrival of Flight 4203 had passed and without a sign of the aircraft's fate, the air traffic controller decided to establish contact with other aircraft in the area, requesting them to look out for the doomed flight. This however returned no results, and the ATC officially declared the aircraft missing and search and rescue efforts led by the Turkish Gendarmerie were initiated. Due to the prevalent darkness and the mountainous terrain, initial ground operations proved difficult so the Turkish Air Force dispatched a helicopter equipped with thermal cameras in order to scour the presumed crash site and locate the aircraft. In the early morning hours shortly past 06:00 EET, the wreckage was located by the helicopter on the  Türbetepe hill, some  west of the airport and  southwest of the town of Keçiborlu. All other search and rescue teams including a police helicopter and an ambulance were immediately directed to that site.Upon arrival however, there were no survivors among the 57 occupants. The debris field spanned across a  area.

Initial remarks by the Governor of Isparta Şemsettin Uzun drew the attention to the site where the aircraft came to rest, which he declared did not correspond with the official flight path implying that the flight should never actually have been anywhere near the site where it came down.

Immediately after the crash, Atlasjet's CEO Tuncay Doğaner assured in a press conference that "the accident was caused by a pilot error, there was no technical fault with the aircraft." DGCA general manager Ali Arıduru shared Doğaner's opinion and declared that "there was no problem with the technical maintenance of aircraft, it is evident that the aircraft crashed because of pilot error." These statements were widely criticized in the media and by experts, since they were made at a time when it was impossible to know so quickly what happened without being able to properly assess the situation or know the facts.

Investigation
The investigation into the accident was led by Turkey's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA, Turkish: Sivil Havacılık Genel Müdürlüğü, SHGM) which immediately deployed a team of four investigators to the crash site. Feridun Seren was appointed as the head of the investigation team responsible for establishing the cause of the crash.

Flight recorders
Both flight recorders, the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and the flight data recorder (FDR) were recovered in the afternoon following the crash and were subsequently sent to the Lufthansa Technik laboratories in Germany for analysis.

However, according to an investigative report by the Turkish daily Sabah in February 2012, citing internal correspondence, the flight recorders were never actually handed over to Lufthansa Technik. Instead, the flight recorders were consigned to the German Federal Bureau of Aircraft Accident Investigation (BFU), where they were opened and investigated by Feridun Seren and his team himself. The BFU is said to have stated that the Turkish investigation panel has conducted the investigation itself and that the BFU has not interfered with the process.

Contrary to initial news reports, which stated that both flight recorders had been successfully read out, the investigation team determined that the flight recorders could not be analyzed because the CVR had been inoperative for nine days leading up to the crash and the FDR was mysteriously found to have only recorded the first 14 minutes of the flight.

Wet-lease contract
In another investigative report brought up by Sabah, it was claimed that the aircraft had been flying without permission on the day of the accident. The sub-lease contract between World Focus Airlines and Atlasjet for the operation of the MD-83 was signed on 25 June 2007 for a five-month period, which ended on 25 November 2007, five days prior to the crash. In a press conference however, Atlasjet refuted the claim that the aircraft was flying without permission, assuring that a short-term contract lasting for three days was signed on 29 November 2007, one day prior to the crash.

Faulty aircraft components
Although the aircraft was equipped with a ground proximity warning system (GPWS) which alerts the pilots if the aircraft is in immediate danger of flying into the ground or an obstacle, the investigators determined that it had been malfunctioning during at least 85 of the last 234 flights of the aircraft. The unit was previously fitted in Atlasjet's other MD-83 aircraft (registered TC-AKN) but it had been switched a week prior to the accident. Although the malfunction of the GPWS unit was known to the airline and the DGCA, it was not properly logged in the maintenance records in order to go undetected.

Since analysis of the CVR and FDR was impossible, investigators turned their attention to radar recordings which indicated that the doomed flight was approaching Isparta Airport at its intended flight path heading southwest, south of the airport and parallel to the runway and descended to . After this stage, the aircraft was supposed to turn around 180 degrees to the right and align with runway 05 for the final approach. However, as it turned towards the runway, the aircraft deviated from its flight path by 30 degrees and ended up flying away from the runway towards the north instead of northeast. Assuming they were on course, the crew descended further but a short time later struck the  tall Türbetepe hill.

Weather was instantly ruled out as a possible cause as the weather conditions were good and visibility was not limited at the time of the accident. Investigators also determined that the engines were operating at the time of the collision with terrain, that the landing gear and flaps were deployed properly, that there was no fire, neither pre-crash nor post-crash, and that the crew's alcohol and drug tests returned negative results. So many uncertainties arose as to what may have contributed to or caused the accident. Because the site where the aircraft came to rest did verifiably not correspond with the official flight path – the flight ended up to the northwest of the airport whereas it was approaching it from the south – and the air traffic controller's account that the crew neither requested a deviation nor declared any other inconvenience such as an emergency, it was determined that there was some kind of navigational error by the fault of the crew.

Final report
The final report was released in November 2008, one year after the crash. It was determined that the accident was caused by a navigation error by the pilots. The Turkish Transport minister Binali Yıldırım stated that the crash was a "normal controlled flight into terrain by the fault of the crew." The report states that the GPWS was not able to produce audible alarms due to a defect. Both the captain and the first officer were rather inexperienced and it was their first approach to Isparta. They failed to enter either the Standard Instrument Departure of Istanbul or the Standard Terminal Arrival Route and approach procedure of Isparta into the flight management system.

Aftermath
On 3 December 2007, the provincial council of Isparta decided to erect a mausoleum near the crash site to honour the victims.

In February 2008, World Focus Airlines changed its corporate image to "Ankair" as a result of publicity surrounding the crash. Its operating license was suspended by Turkish authorities a short time later.

In October 2011, the head of the investigation team, Feridun Seren, was arrested along with six other defendants in connection with the disputed 2009 Medair Bell 206 crash which killed BBP leader Muhsin Yazıcıoğlu – in whose investigation he was also involved – on grounds of allowing the flight recorders to be tampered with, obscuring evidence and creating bogus protocols.

Lawsuit
The lawsuit into the crash was launched in December 2009 at the Isparta 1st Heavy Penal Court. The court announced its final decision around five years later in January 2015: World Focus Airlines' owner Yavuz Çizmeci was found guilty of negligent homicide for allowing an aircraft unfit to fly and with known maintenance faults to be leased out, and World Focus Airlines' chief executive officer Aydın Kızıltan and technical chief İsmail Taşdelen were found guilty of negligent homicide for the same reason. All three defendants were each sentenced to 11 years and 8 months in prison for negligent homicide. World Focus Airlines' maintenance chief Fikri Zafer Dinçer was also sentenced with 5 years and 10 months in prison for negligent homicide. Former DGCA general manager Ali Arıduru and assistant general manager Oktay Erdağı were sentenced to 1 year and 8 months in prison for malpractice.

The Court of Cassation's 12th Criminal Chamber ratified the Heavy Penal Court's decision in March 2016.

My opinion the F6F is a great flyer although i have all three of thr TH series and they all fly great i believe this is the easiest and most stable flyer in the group. Out the box this is some of the best looking foam and well packaged with no defects on mine. The water slide decals look great they flake off easy. The problem with these planes is they are under proped but thats an easy fix by changing out the 3 blade prop for a 2 blade apc 10x7 slofly, by this you double the performance. On the watt meter it shows 378w well under the 388w rating. Currently im waiting for my gps tracker to check speed but i can tell you now unlimited vertical with this set up the roll rate is fast and landing is easy for a taildragger. Some say they have to add weight to the nose but i havent had that problem, just push the battery all the way up and its fine. The removable landing gear is nice especially is you fly parks and belly land. I would say its a perfect first warbird not only is it easy to fly but durable also. The advanced flyer would have fun because its really aerobatic. To wrap up i think for the price and performance you get for about 100.00 bucks with the coupon and free shipping these are the best bang for the buck. RC Universe video below for reference.

>> Hair loss and what to do Anonymous 16/09/21 (Wed)22:24 No. 5641 Anonymous
Wednesday 10:24 pm /poof/5641 Hair loss and what to do
Lads,
Since hitting my mid-twenties, my hair on top is thinning, which I'm pretty sure is male pattern hair loss. Seems to me there must be plenty of poofs that've gone through this so I thought I'd ask for some advice.
I'm not really that upset about it, I did use finasteride for 4 weeks but there doesn't seem to have been an improvement. So I'm ready to just suck it up and accept the loss.
What I'm unsure about now is how to carry it. Asking for my normal haircut, which I've had for about a decade, is no longer possible. Are there people I could rely on to advise me on how best I should carry it? E.g. full slaphead, number 3 all over, etc. I just don't trust myself to make a good call and once you commit to a drastic haircut like that, you live with the consequences a bit.
>Shave and be proud
I have no qualms with that, to be fair.
Appreciate the shaver recommendation, but would you happen to know the best battery powered one? I'm an international businessman you know.
>best battery powered one
Never seen a good one. You actually need quite a lot of power to get a good head shave, when it is short it is stubbly and beardy and you need a perfect cut else it a) hurts and b) looks terrible. The baldfader is the best out there.
You can try razoring it too for a really close shave, but it takes a while to make it look good, a bit too long for me in the shower in the morning, so I use the baldfader on grade 0 twice a week, with grade 1 for the beard - it comes with all the attachments and doo-dahs. Use the razor for dates/interviews..
>I'm an international businessman don't you know
>You actually need quite a lot of power to get a good head shave
Fair play. I've done a grade 0 on a generic battery powered one before, and it's alright but it's definitely a bit 'fuzzy'.
I'll get one, they're cheap enough too. There's a hilarious review of it on amazon, a bloke has posted three pictures of his head with a few tiny red splotches, and has complained in all caps about how it's nearly killed him. The shave looks great though.
It took me more than a year to take your advice but I finally bought a Baldfader - the slightly updated version to the one linked, apparently it goes a whole 0.1mm shorter now.
It's fantastic, I should have got one sooner. I've gotten used to shaving my head in the shower with a Mach 3, but it always feels like a waste of time since I still end up having a stubbly head six hours later anyway.
I thought I'd drag this thread out just in case anyone else has gone bald in the year or so since this post.

I don't have any qualifications so my options are currently limited to doing stuff like transcription and tech support. At the rate I type I'd probably eke out slightly above minimum wage transcribing stuff.
What about more lucrative or more long-term options? Is learning to program from scratch and becoming a telecommuting code monkey a feasible thing to do? If so, what language would give a noob the best job prospects?
The curriculum and course material look reasonably good. It's not quite as in-depth as FreeCodeCamp, but that's potentially an advantage if you have limited technical experience or you're intimidated by the sheer scope of the FreeCodeCamp course. FreeCodeCamp definitely have better materials on getting hired, particularly their partnerships with non-profit organisations to help students build a portfolio of real-world projects.

If I could have the superpowers from any film then it would be those of the character Hal from Shallow Hal, portrayed by Jack Black.
Any girl you saw with a genuinely nice personality would look like a legitimate 10/10 stunner, so you could spend the rest of your days sleeping with absolute fuggos who look like supermodels to you and they'd probably so grateful for attention that they'd let you do almost any depraved thing you wanted like pissing up their arse.
You'd have this lovely wholesome girl who looked like an absolute worldwide, guaranteed to have an amazing personality, who would do anything in bed to please you and you wouldn't have the hassle of other lads constantly hitting on her like you'd have with a 10/10 in real life.

The value might get wiped out in a bart, the exchange you buy from is probably shady as shit if they're not doing KYC checks and are liable to just run off with the cash and your crypto before you can shift them, and the exchange you cash out from might suddenly develop "technical difficulties". Then there's the minor point that the blockchain being entirely open means that even if you do manage to cash out your explanation won't hold water.
I think you grossly over estimate the risks and the traceability. It is like you don't even know what cryptocurrency is mostly used for.
AIUI, it's mainly used for taking money from suckers these days, hence its uselessness for anything else.
Bitcoin maybe, but something like Monero is still very useful for buying drugs on the internet.

It's dawned on me that, other than a novel written by a former work colleague, I haven't read a book written by a woman in over a decade. This hasn't been a conscious decision, it's just that the books I've tended to gravitate towards happen to have been written by men. However I feel I should make a conscious effort to read some, even if it's just to gain a different perspective on things.
Where should I start? Virginia Woolf? Jane Austen? Fleur Jaeggy? Dorothy Parker? Arundhati Roy? Olga Tokarczuk? Stella Gibbons?
Three great late twentieth century female writers: Muriel Spark the very quirky borderline insane Catholic convert, Kathy Acker the patron saint of all bad girls and adventuresses, Andrea Dworkin the intolerant anti-porn feminist who could put a sentence together like no-one else in the world whatever you may think of her views.
And I'd say the Bronte sisters are the absolute cornerstones of femaile literature, and all three of them are very much worth reading and surprisingly different in style and viewpoint.
Have you heard of a writer called J.K Rowling? She seems to be quite popular and is very cutting edge, she even releases errata's to her books via twitter.
>Jane Austen
I never thought I would like Jane Austen purely based on the topics but there is a cynical sense of humour in her work I find wonderful. Plus you can read versions of her books with added monsters for the easily bored.
>errata's
If you're into genre fiction, Ann Leckie (Ancillary Justice etc) and N.K Jemisen (probably mispelt her name, but it's close to that) are both very good.
For some kinder, softer, sci-fi have a look at Becky Chambers, starting with 'A long way to a small, angry, planet'
Read Defiance and Gold In The Furnace by Savitri Devi.

Ive been learning about regression analysis and monte carlo simulation.
Ive really enjoyed learning this but the @risk extension for my excel files is a bit expensive.
Ive read a an array of sources about monte carlo sim. but i was hoping someone on here might be able to help.
Can you create your own alternative to @risk and build your own monte carloe simulation on excel?
i hope this question makes sense as you can see im still a novice.
PS #7510. anti money laundering is a huge subject and perhaps reading academic journals and books would be more insightful than asking questions to strangers.
Well, I'm not going to tell you how to commit crime. But if you really do want to build and run mathematical simulations then VBA is certainly not the way to go. It's clumsy, and you'll be stuck doing anything beyond the rudimentary.
C++ is the go-to language for this sort of thing (in my experience, though I expect to start an argument) but as a novice you'd be better off studying Python. It has a more intuitive syntax for developing your own algorithms. Get to grips with the basics of the ubiquitous NumPy package. And try following guides like this hastily-googled one:
https://towardsdatascience.com/monte-carlo-simulations-with-python-part-1-f5627b7d60b0
I've just read up about the algorithm here
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/montecarlosimulation.asp
And honestly it seems quite simple. Much simpler than formula I've built in the past.
It isn't a crystal ball for predicting the future and I'm not sold on its value as an investment tool. It clearly has real world applications but I think you would be better looking at events rather than presuming because a snapshot of the sales of pumpkins shows a significant increase of sales in October they will continue to rise in November.
>C++ is the go-to language for this sort of thing (in my experience, though I expect to start an argument)
In my experience regardless of how obnoxious and clunky it maybe, people want these things modled in excel (not even VBA) on the vague presumption they can follow your working out. They don't trust the magic black box of 'programming'.

sidecar.jpg
Sunday 5:39 pm /mph/4326
I've been giving serious thought to getting a sidecar motorcycle as an alternative to car:
- get one made before or in 1979 and it's classified as a historic vehicle (probably some sort of old BMW copy like an Ural but it could also be an old Jap bike with a sidecar attached)
- no London congestion charge because it's still a motorcycle
- no London emmissions charge because it's exempt as a historic vehicle
- no MOT fees because it's exempt as a historic vehicle
- no road tax because it's exempt as a historic vehicle
- cheap insurance because it's a historic vehicle
- better fuel economy than a typical hatchback
- can use motorcycle parking bays
- practical because the sidecar is basically the same size as the boot of a small car
- not as much of a hassle as a classic car because of the simplicity/ease of maintenance of motorcycles
This strikes me as an incredibly genius idea but I'm pretty drunk right now.
I'm not really a Bike Guy but this sounds like a solid plan to me, too, as long as you're confident you can get the parts and keep a bike that old running.
Also I've never seen a bike with sidecar park in a motorbike bay, you'd probably end up taking up two or three spaces.
I like the plan in many ways, but the only problem is that with a sidecar you lose one of the primary benefits of having a bike - filtering through traffic; you would essentially be the width of a small car, and so would end up sitting in a lot more traffic than you would on a normal bike.
Have always wanted one too (particularly some of the old BMW ones) but not as a main/commuting bike.
The handling of a sidecar outfit is really fucking weird. You're totally asymmetrical and the weight distribution changes radically depending on who or what is in the sidecar. It's not like you have to totally re-learn how to ride, but there is a fairly steep learning curve and a lot of your instincts can get you into trouble.
I think pretty much every old Soviet machine was designed to be easily fixed with a hammer and some basic tools...but I've heard that the biggest problem is that you'll be doing a lot of fixing. I've never seen a sidecar in a motorbike bay either, but I've also never seen anyone riding a sidecar bike either.
Very true, that's why I emphasised it being an alternative to a small car in this very specific set of circumstances. There isn't much benefit if you don't need to haul a bunch of shit within central London, or greater London if the ULEZ extension in 2021 proceeds as planned.

What's your favourite Ristorante pizza?
I usually go for the Mozzarella one, it's hard to beat those little flavour explosions of garlic butter. I would prefer the Funghi ones, the taste and the flavour of the mushrooms is magnificent for the price, but it's not stocked in many places.

So this is gonna be the thread we post in when we are stoned.
Fuck those /b/ Nazis.
The mere fact I can buy Sativa CBD pills for my chronic (heh) joint paint nowadays means the amount of opiates I take is minimal, but it's an expensive game. I strongly suspect Phizer might put a stop to medicinal use on a large scale in this country, purely because it would interupt their monopoly on the pain relief market.
Now then stonerlads.
I used to smoke a fair bit of weed. Well, to be fair I still do compared to your average person, but I find that these days it's not doing anything good for me, besides bringing on a lot of anxiety. It's been increasingly difficult to get stoned without retreating into my own head and dwelling on unpleasant thoughts.
The obvious solution is "just don't smoke weed then" but honestly, I have practically stopped already. I have maybe a joint every few weeks now, long gone are the smoke weed erry day times. Throughout my early 20s I'd smoke a lot, but for the last three or four years my use has been declining as I find myself enjoying it less and less.
Trouble is I just kind of miss it, and in the social circles I'm a part of, people are much more enthusiastic about a smoking session than, say, going out to the pub. That in itself is a pretty shit situation, but I digress. How do I stop the anxiety getting on top of me and enjoy weed again lads. I've tried acquiring more indica based strains rather than sativa, but even those are pretty heady nowadays. Everyone's mental about this Jamaican girl starscout haze nonsense nowadays and I definitely need something more mellow.
Any of you had similar experience?
Tuesday 11:52 pm 8265
Somewhat yes. I got to a point of not really enjoying a smoke unless totally alone. Just toking with the GF brought on uncomfortable thinking and anxiety. After a couple of egged-on situations with mates where my experience quickly switched from the typical stoned fun to needing to be alone in a dark room, I figured weed wasn't suited for me any more and let it go. That was after best part of a decade being a regular, almost daily stoner.
You could consider experimenting with different administration routes - edibles, vapourising, solvent extracts.. "dabbing" is that what it's called now? These all gave me quite varying experiences.
Perhaps it's best to consider that, as difficult as it is to accept, for many people puffin' da 'erb long term does not seem to be that psychologically sustainable.
Wednesday 9:51 am 8267
Back in my day it was all Thai stick and squidgy black, which in retrospect turned out to have THC/CBD ratios of close to 50/50. These days, even the supposedly high-CBD strains are more like 80/20, simply because of the insanely high level of THC. The most popular strain around my way seems to be lemon haze, which is a recipe for psychosis at ~19% THC and <0.1% CBD. You could mix in some CBD extract, I suppose.
Out of interest what era are you referring to, my smoking days/daze where early mid 90s
Sqidge was everywhere but even back then Thai sticks were spoke of in reverent terms but as something from the past and not available. Maybe just my area?

NextLife in PennsylvaniaNext
The Two Michael Apps
When researching Michael's life, it is soon found that there were two Michael Apps living in Pennsylvania at about the same time. This has caused some confusion among genealogists. Here are a few simple facts about each one to help make the proper distinction:
A second Michael App (1757-1796) was married to Sophia Feltman and his father was Christian App who arrived in America in 1751 (from Germany) on the ship "Duke of Wirtenberg." He lived in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, served in the Revolutionary War (also taken as prisoner of war at the Battle of Long Island), and held notable positions in the Lancaster community, including that of sheriff. He was born in Pennsylvania (although his father was from Germany) and was quite a bit younger than our Michael. The intertwining of the events of these two lives on some of the ancestral websites makes it necessary to document the facts so they are attributed to the correct "Michael App." There is no historical evidence that these two men had any interaction together, although a distant relationship would have extended back to Germany.
Michael App of Lancaster County, PA:
1757 Born Lancaster, PA (Father: Christian App; Mother: Anna Catharina App)
1776 Michael App (Ensign in the PA Musket Battalion) appointed 20th March, wounded & taken prisoner at Long Island 27 Aug 1776, exchanged 9th Dec 1776.
1778 Married Sophia Feltman

Q: Inclusion of multiplicative group of one local field into the idele class group is a closed embedding, but inclusion of more than one isn't? Let $k$ be a global field, $J$ its idele group, and $C = J/k^\times$ the idele class group. For any place $v$ of $k$, we have the familiar closed embedding $k_v^\times \hookrightarrow J$. More generally, we can let $S$ be a finite set of places of $k$, consider $P = \prod_{v \in S} k_v^\times$ with the product topology, and still obtain a closed embedding $P \hookrightarrow J$. This much is clear from the definition of the topology on $J$.
I've seen it asserted various places that the continuous injection $k_v^\times \rightarrow C$ is still a closed embedding, and always treated this statement as 'obvious' without much thought. Recently, while reading the Artin-Tate notes (Ch. X, section 2, p.76), I learned the corresponding continuous injection $P \rightarrow C$ is not a topological embedding when $|S| > 1$, and that the image is not even closed! I found this surprising and upon reflection realized that I do not know how to prove either statement. Worse yet, I can't find any discussion of the matter in the standard references (e.g. Cassels-Fröhlich, Neukirch, Weil's Basic Number Theory, ...)
Can someone please explain to me why we get a closed embedding when $|S| = 1$, and what goes wrong in the more general case? (bonus points for explicit examples).
EDIT
Thanks to GH from MO for addressing the "embedding" part of this question in the special case that $S$ contains the archimedean places. I expect that this is the basic explanation for what's going on here. However, the question is not fully answered:

*

*I'm still very interested in why the map $P \rightarrow C$ is closed when $|S| = 1$ but not otherwise. It seems to me that a slightly different argument is needed here - I'm not sure what it should look like.

*It would be good to remove the restriction about the archimedean places - after all, one is frequently interested in the case where $S$ consists of a single non-archimedean place, or in the case where there is more than one archimedean place. Here's my attempt at extending the argument to this case (copied from my comment on the answer):
My guess is the answer to the second question goes something like this. Let $|S| = s_\infty + s_f$ with $s_\infty$ the number of archimedean places in $S$. We can force the log of the absolute value of $t$ to be close to $0$ at the $r-s_\infty$ archimedean places outside of $S$. The logs of absolute values of $S$-units span a lattice of dimension $r + s_f - 1 = (r - s_\infty) + |S| - 1$, and we win if we force the image of $t$ to be $0$ in this lattice. So we have "enough dimensions to work with" outside of $S$ iff $|S| = 1$. But this isn't quite rigorous and I'm confused how to make it so (The statement I'm looking for is something like "the projection of a $d$-dimensional lattice in $\mathbb{R}^n$ to an $m$-dimensional subspace has discrete image iff $m \geq d$ - neither direction is obvious to me.)

A: Let $J^1$ be the ideles of idelic norm one; the global points $k^*$ is contained in $J^1$. In the number field case, we have a surjection $J/k^* \rightarrow \mathbb R _{>0}$ with kernel $J^1/k^*$ (the latter is compact).
Now let $v$ be a place and $O_v^*$ the unit group of $k_v^*$ (if $v$ is complex, $O_v^*=S^1$ ; if $v$ is real, $O_v^*=\{\pm 1\}$; if $v$ is non-archimedean, $O_v^*$ is the group of units). Then under the above quotient map $J/k^*$ the inclusion of $k_v^*$ in $J$ induces a map $k_v^*\rightarrow \mathbb R_{>0}$ whose kernel is the compact group $O_v^* \subset J^1/k^*$. The map $O_v^* \rightarrow J^1/k^*$ is a continuous injection of compact Hausdorff spaces and is hence a homeomorphism onto the image.Since $k_v^*$ is the product of $O_v^*$ with a closed subgroup of $R_{>0}$ (in the archimedean case, it is all of $\mathbb R_{>0}$ and in the non-archimedean case it is a discrete subgroup of $\mathbb R_{>0}$ generated by the uniformizing parameter of $k_v^*$) it follows that we need only check that the map $k_v^* \rightarrow \mathbb R_{>0}$ has closed image. The image is always a closed subgroup and hence if $Card S=1$, $k_v^* \rightarrow J/k^*$ is a closed embedding.
In the non-archimedean case, the image is of the form $\mid \pi \mid ^{\mathbb Z}$ with $\pi $ a uniformizing parameter. If $S$ has two non-archimedean places (which lie above different primes of $\mathbb Q$), the image is of the form $\mid \pi _v \mid ^{\mathbb Z} \mid \pi _w\mid ^{\mathbb Z} \subset \mathbb R_{>0}$ and is not a closed subgroup in $\mathbb R_{>0}$ and hence the embedding of $k_v^*\times k_w^*$ is not closed.

A: For simplicity, let me assume that $S$ contains the archimedean places. Then the brief answer is that the group of $S$-units is finite when $|S|=1$, but infinite when $|S|>1$. Let me give more detail.
A fundamental system of neighborhoods of the identity in $J$ is provided by the product sets $U=\prod_v U_v$ in $J$, where $U_v$ is an open neighborhood of the identity in $k_v^\times$, and $U_v=r_v^\times$ for all but finitely many $v$'s. Without loss of generality, for any nonarchimedean place, either $U_v=r_v^\times$ or $U_v=1+p_v^{n_v}$ for some $n_v\geq 1$. The corresponding neighborhood in $C$ is $Uk^\times/k^\times$, which intersects the embedded copy of $P$ in $(Pk^\times\cap Uk^\times)/k^\times=(P\cap Uk^\times)k^\times/k^\times$. So in the induced topology of the embedded $P$, a fundamental system of neighborhoods of the identity is provided by the intersections $P\cap Uk^\times$. This intersection consists of those elements $p\in P$, which can be decomposed as $p=ut$ with $u\in U$ and $t\in k^\times$. For any $v\not\in S$, we have that $1=p_v=u_vt_v$, so $t_v=u_v^{-1}\in r_v^\times$. That is, $t$ is an $S$-unit in $k^\times$. Moreover, $t$ is congruent to $1$ modulo a large ideal (determined by the $n_v$'s), but these are all the constraints on $t$. If $|S|=1$, then the group of $S$-units is finite, hence we can force that $t=1$ with an appropriate congruence, which shows that the induced topology on $P$ is the usual one. If $|S|>1$, then the group of $S$-units has rank $|S|-1>0$, which property survives any congruence, so the induced topology will be cruder than the usual one. Indeed, in this case, any $\prod_{v\in S}U_v$ gets translated by infinitely many $t$'s, and only the union of these translates will be open in the induced topology of the embedded $P$, not the translates themselves.

Ketoviante The Effective Carb is the opposite of the Non-Impact Carb. They are carbs that will have an effect on blood sugar levels. In most low-carb diets, the idea is to place a limit on Effective Carbs to keep blood sugar and, therefore, insulin levels under control. On a strict, low-carb diet, this number can be as low as 20 grams of effective carbs per day.

Selena Gomez To Host WE Day California 2017
WE Day, an international series of inspiring stadium-sized events, announces the initial list of speakers, performers and presenters attending WE Day California on April 27, 2017 at The "Fabulous" Forum.
Together with National Co-Title Sponsors The Allstate Foundation and Unilever, alongside other partners, WE Day California brings together 16,000 local change-makers, inspirational speakers and world-renowned performers to celebrate their commitment to taking action on social issues.
Hosted by Selena Gomez, a cast of new faces and returning WE Day favorites will take the stage this year, including Alicia Keys, Demi Lovato, Bryan Cranston, DJ Khaled, Miss Piggy along with other Muppets, Alessia Cara, Josh Gad, Lilly Singh, Magic Johnson, Tyrese Gibson, Lily Collins, Shay Mitchell, Winnie Harlow, Angie Martinez, Emeli Sandé, Laila Ali, Lizzie Velasquez, USC Head Coach Clay Helton, Celebrity Marauders, Spencer West and more. This star-studded lineup will join international activists and WE co-founders, Craig and Marc Kielburger, to share their passion for change and energize the crowd with unforgettable performances and motivational speeches to inspire another year of action.
"My first WE Day experience was 3 years ago and to say I was impressed is an understatement," said actress, multi-platinum recording artist and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and host of WE Day California, Selena Gomez. "The electricity of an arena full of thousands of young people who are making real change in the world is like nothing I've ever experienced. I am grateful to be a part of such a supportive community and hope I can inspire the kids at WE Day just as they continue to inspire me."
"I'm honored to be part of WE Day — a family of people that aren't afraid to work hard to create real change in the world," said award-winning singer, songwriter, pianist, activist and actress, Alicia Keys. "By pushing themselves and others to find their inner voice, young people at WE Day are finding a collective strength, realizing that together We have the power to make a difference. This is the dream realized!!"
"On WE Day, moi gets to be a role model and meet all of the incredibly strong, smart and dedicated youth who are changing the world. It's a chance for us to come together, celebrate their accomplishments, inspire others…and, of course, pose for selfies," said Miss Piggy.
More than a one-day event, WE Day is connected to the free, yearlong educational program WE Schools. Providing schools and community groups with curriculum, educational resources and action campaigns, this program is designed to enhance a school's existing social initiatives or spark new ones. WE Schools encourages students to further their curricular learning, develop life skills for success beyond the classroom and become change-makers.
"WE Day celebrates the amazing young people who have taken action at home and around the world, to create sustainable change for a better tomorrow," said Craig Kielburger, co-founder of WE. "Standing in a stadium full of passionate youth will affirm your belief that real change can happen — and is happening every single day right here in California. This past school year more than 875 California schools in the WE Schools program made an incredible impact in their own backyards and in communities around the world through their commitment and passion for change."
In the 2015/2016 school year, schools and groups across the state improved their communities through WE Schools, volunteering more than 600,000 hours and raising over $825,000 in support of 615 local and global causes such as hunger, homelessness, bullying, clean water, education and literacy. Making WE Day a true community celebration of youth taking action, young people will join the celebrity lineup onstage to tell their own inspiring personal stories. One such youth is 11-year-old Ezra Frech. Born missing his left fibula and left knee as well as four fingers on his left hand, Ezra is an accomplished athlete, motivational speaker, and Co-Founder of Los Angeles-based non-profit @AngelCitySports, an organization that provides children and adults with physical disabilities the opportunity to play sports. Ezra is just one of the many young people who will share their story to motivate their WE Day peers.
You can't buy a ticket to WE Day — students from across the country earn their way by the actions they take on one local and one global cause of their choice. WE Day is free of charge to students and teachers, thanks to the generous support of National Co-Title Sponsors The Allstate Foundation and Unilever. The Allstate Foundation believes good starts young, and is committed to empowering America's youth with the strength, confidence and leadership skills to step us as leaders and achieve success in their lives. Unilever is committed to creating a bright future for tomorrow's leaders by encouraging everyone to take small steps toward making sustainable living commonplace.
WE Day is supported by Co-Chairs Stephanie Argyros, President and CEO, Argyros Group; Stephanie Swedlove and Jeff Skoll, Founder and Chairman, Participant Media and Chairman of the Skoll Foundation; Mike Cahill, Executive Vice President, General Counsel, City National Bank; and Earvin "Magic" Johnson, President of Basketball Operations, Los Angeles Lakers.
Anyone can find his or her place with WE and commit to making a change in the world. The first step is to take the WE Pledge at WE.org. By taking the pledge, participants are joining the WE Community and making a commitment to live WE every day. For every pledge taken on WE.org, $10 will be donated to local and global programs.

Man rides bike through foam blob and lives to tell the tale
By Michelle Toy, KTVU
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - There was a slight chill in the air on a bright, fall Friday in Santa Clara. It seemed like a typical way to end the week, but something was amiss.
A substance had been awakened inside Hangar 7 at Signature Flight Support on Martin Avenue.
It was bubbling, brewing, waiting to unleash. At around 11:30 am, the floodgates opened, and the foam had spilled out of the vents and into the street swallowing up an entire parking lot into it's fluffy mass.
Emergency responders, news media, and curious onlookers began to descend on the mysterious blob.......and one thrill-seeker.
Blake Harrington arrived on his bike shortly before 1 p.m. The foam blob had grown 10 feet high.
After a brief hesitation, Harrington launched into the foamy abyss on his bicycle and disappeared.
Friends and thousands of people watching across the world on Facebook live, held their breath wondering if he had been swallowed alive.
After a few suspenseful minutes, Harrington emerged, drenched in white suds.
"Yeah, someone had to do it. We were on the other side and the officers over there were like 'you should ride through.' And I was like, 'OK you guys don't mind?' So we decided to do it."
Harrington said the foam felt like soap and admitted to being "that guy."
He also said that at some point, he crashed into a street sign.
His expedition was not to be replicated, as firefighters blocked the area off with red tape as soon as the explorer found his way out.
After his ride, and covered in foam, Harrington said he was headed back to work.


After going through a long awakening process, followed by a fourty-four day spirit quest, Sky Maitreya, the 21 year old Water Bearer from Minnesota, has begun to share Her wisdom with the world. As the catalyst to this inevitable revolution, She is curently traveling the country not only preparing Herself for this paradigm shift, but also pointing those that happen to cross Her path in the same direction. Her book, "Waking Eve", the second book in Revelations, has just been published online-- a text that will have a huge influence on the "sinners" of this world, and those that would otherwise not take much of an interest in the spiritual aspects associated with this new age. As Lady Wisdom, She communicates in a very relaxed and easy-to-understand manner, helping people from all walks of life to understand the knowledge of God, leading us out of ignorance and back to the Light.
