Gliese 876 c es un planeta extrasolar que orbita la estrella enana roja Gliese 876 cada 30,340 días. Fue descubierto en 2001 y es el segundo planeta en orden de distancia a partir de su estrella.

Descubrimiento

En el momento de su descubrimiento, ya se sabía que Gliese 876 albergaba un planeta extrasolar designado Gliese 876 b. En 2001, los continuos análisis de la velocidad radial de la estrella revelaron la existencia de un segundo planeta dentro del sistema, que fue designado Gliese 876c. Se calcula que el período orbital de Gliese 876c es de exactamente la mitad del período del planeta exterior, lo que significa que la velocidad radial del segundo planeta se interpretó en un principio como una excentricidad mayor en la órbita de Gliese 876b.

Órbita y masa

Gliese 876c y Gliese 876b, el planeta exterior, tienen periodos orbitales en una resonancia 1:2, lo que produce que los elementos orbitales del planeta cambien muy velozmente con la precesión de las órbitas. La órbita del planeta tiene una excentricidad mayor que la de cualquiera de los planetas principales que forman nuestro sistema solar. El semieje mayor de la órbita es de solamente 0,1303UA (aproximadamente un tercio de la distancia media entre Mercurio y el Sol). A pesar de esto, está situado en la región interna de la zona de habitabilidad del sistema, debido a que Gliese 876 es una estrella muy débil.

Una de las limitaciones del método de velocidad radial empleado para detectar a Gliese 876c es que únicamente puede obtenerse el límite inferior de la masa del planeta. En el caso de Gliese 876 c, este límite inferior es del 62% de la masa de Júpiter. La masa verdadera depende de la inclinación de la órbita, que en general se desconoce. En el caso de un sistema resonante como Gliese 876, las interacciones gravitatorias entre los planetas pueden utilice para encontrar las masas verdaderas; por medio de este método, se estima que posee una inclinación aproximada de 50º sobre el plano del cielo. De ser así, la masa verdadera sería alrededor de un 30% mayor que su límite inferior, unas 0,81 veces la masa de Júpiter. Por otro lado, las mediciones astrométricas indican que la inclinación orbital es de unos 84°, lo que sugeriría que la masa es casi la misma del límite inferior.

Características

Dada la enorme masa del planeta, es probable que Gliese 876c sea un gigante gaseoso sin una superficie sólida. Puesto que el planeta tan sólo ha sido detectado indirectamente, a través del efecto gravitatorio sobre su estrella, se desconocen características tales como su radio, composición y temperatura. Suponiendo que tuviera una composición similar a la de Júpiter y su equilibrio químico ambiental fuera parecido, la atmósfera de Gliese 876c carecería de nubes en su atmósfera superior.

Gliese 876c se halla dentro de la zona de habitabilidad de Gliese 876 respecto a la capacidad de un planeta de masa similar a la Tierra para retener agua en estado líquido en su superficie. Aunque se desconocen cuáles son las probabilidades de vida en un gigante gaseoso, las lunas de gran tamaño podrían contener un medio ambiente habitable. Los modelos teóricos de interacción entre una luna hipotética, el planeta y la estrella indican que las lunas de gran tamaño deberían poder sobrevivir en órbita alrededor de Gliese 876b durante toda la vida del sistema planetario. Por otra parte, no está claro que exista la posibilidad que una luna de tales dimensiones pueda llegar a formarse.

(Bloomberg) -- China said defense spending would increase at the quickest pace in three years, as President Xi Jinping pursues a "world-class" military capable of projecting force further from the country's coasts.
The central government's military outlays are expected to rise 8.1 percent to 1.11 trillion yuan ($175 billion) this year, the Chinese Ministry of Finance said Monday in its annual report to the national legislative session in Beijing. Last year's budget called for an increase of 7.1 percent, the slowest pace since at least 1991.
The spending figure is one of the few pieces of official data available as the U.S. and Asian neighbors seek to gauge the pace and intentions of China's military development. While the figure equals about one-quarter of U.S. outlays, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute estimates that China's actual spending is about 55 percent more than officially stated.
Besides approving the defense budget, NPC deputies are also expected to appoint Xi to a second term as president and repeal constitutional term limits requiring him to step down in 2023. The amendment may give Xi more time to advance a pledge in October to complete China's restoration as a global power by the mid-century mark.

A magical place located on the precious coasts of the Caribbean Sea. Tulum was one of the main cities of the Mayan civilization, located in the State of Quintana Roo just 131 km south of Cancun.
Tulum is worth the visit not only for its spiritual and archeological richness but also for the beautiful landscape. The turquoise waters and white sandy beaches that surround the bluff on which this ruin lays are breathtaking.
This great place can be visited in a half day tour, called "Tulum Express" or can also be combined with another great adventure such as the theme parks Xcaret, Xel Ha, Aktun Chen, Swimming with Dolphins or the Coba ruins in a full day tour.

Title: Biosorbents: The Ecofriendly Agents for Removal of Dyes
Authors: Hassan, Warda
Keywords: Physical Sciences
Publisher: Islamia University, Bahawalpur.
Abstract: The present work aims to study the sorption capacities, mechanisms and potential of economical, low cost and abundantly available biomaterials i.e. a desert plant, Khar (Haloxylon recurvum) stems (HRS) and an agricultural material cotton plant (Gossypium hirsutum) stems (CS) biomass in removing different hazardous dyes from their aqueous solutions. These two biosorbents were treated with different agents e.g. urea, nitric acid and phosphoric acid to enhance their sorption capacities to check the role of different functional groups present on the surface of biosorbents in the removal of dyes. The biosorbent materials were characterized by different physico–chemical techniques such as FTIR, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermal analysis elemental analysis, BET, surface area by methylene blue method, and potentiometric as well as conductometric titrations. The pH and pH at the point of zero charge (pHpzc) of the adsorbents were also determined. Some other textural properties of biomass such as moisture, ash and volatile contents and bulk density, porosity, particle size distribution and pH of untreated as well as treated biosorbents were also determined by using different techniques. FTIR studies revealed that the oxygen containing groups i.e. carboxylic, carbonyls, esters, nitro, phosphate groups were mainly responsible for the binding of dyes on the surface of biomass. SEM studies indicated the porous and rough structure of the biomass and the size of these pores as well as roughness of the surface of biomass also increased with modifications. Thermal studies indicated the thermal stability of biosorbents at high temperature which was the proof that these biosorbents can also be used at higher temperature ranges. BET and other surface area studies indicated that these properties enhanced on treatment of the biomass. The potentiometric studies indicated the presence Abstract of acidic groups on the surfaces of biomass that are responsible for the attachment of dyes on the surface of biosorbents. The influence of different parameters were also studied to determine the kinetic and equilibrium sorption capacity biomass by using batch process. These parameters include time of contact, effect of biosorbent dose, concentration, pH of dye solution as well as the temperature of the system and the particle sizes of the adsorbents. The sorption data obtained from the time of contact was used for the kinetic studies of sorption systems. Four different kinetic models i.e. Lagergren's pseudo 1st order, Ho's pseudo 2nd order, elovich, intraparticle diffusion and liquid film diffusion model were used to study the adsorption reaction and diffusion mechanism of dyes on different biosorbents. The pH effect studies of the sorption of dyes showed that all of the acidic dyes show maximum sorption capacities in acidic ranges and vice versa for basic dyes. The sorption data for the effect of concentration of dye solution was used for the isotherm modelling of the data. Four different sorption isotherms i.e. Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin– Radushkevich isotherms were used for the determination sorption capacities of different biosorbents. Regression coefficient and chi square tests were used for the applicability of specific kinetic and isotherm model. It was observed that temperature had a great effect on the removal of dyes, in some of the dye sorption systems the removal of dye was exothermic whereas in other it was an endothermic process. The qe(cal) (mg/g) obtained from Lagregren's pseudo 1st order and Ho's pseudo 2nd order kinetic models and qmax (mol/g) obtained from Langmuir sorption isotherm were also compared with other, reported in literature. The results of the studies indicated that the locally and abundantly available plant waste materials have great potentials for the removal of hazardous dyes from their aqueous Abstract solutions. These developed biomaterials provided an alternatives solutions to make the water clean for life and to minimize the damages caused by these hazardous chemicals as industrial effluents.

'We need a habitat on the moon,' says former NASA flight director
Georgetown University troubled by involvement in college scam

By Carol Zimmermann • Catholic News Service • Posted March 13, 2019
UPDATED – WASHINGTON (CNS) — Officials at Georgetown University were "deeply troubled" to learn that the school's former tennis coach, Gordon Ernst, is alleged to be part of a widespread college admissions scandal.
He is one of at least nine athletic coaches and 33 parents, including celebrity moms, charged March 12 in the scandal that involved bribing college coaches and others to secure coveted spots at selected colleges and universities around the country.
Ernst, head coach for the men's and women's tennis teams at Georgetown from 2006 to 2017, resigned last year from the school and is currently the tennis coach at the University of Rhode Island. He was charged with conspiracy to commit racketeering March 12 and accused of accepting $2.7 million in bribes. He was released on a $200,000 bond later that day. Ernst, who resides in Maryland, had to surrender his passport and can only travel within the state.
A letter sent the same day to members of the Georgetown University community by school officials said: "Earlier today, we were deeply troubled to learn that former tennis coach, Gordon Ernst, is alleged to have committed criminal acts against the university that constitute an unprecedented breach of trust."
"Ernst's alleged actions are shocking, highly antithetical to our values and violate numerous university policies and ethical standards," the letter said.
It pointed out that Ernst, along with more than 40 others, including coaches from several universities, were all allegedly part of a conspiracy with the college preparation company, The Key Worldwide, which helped facilitate cheating on college entrance exams and bribed coaches to propose students as athletic recruits. Its CEO, William Singer, was paid about $25 million from 2011 to 2018 by parents who wanted their kids to get into elite schools.
"The United States Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts has identified Georgetown as a victim in the criminal case," the Georgetown letter said.
The letter, signed by Lisa Brown, university vice president and general counsel, and Erik Smulson, university vice president and senior adviser to the president, said Ernst had not coached Georgetown's teams since December 2017, "when he was placed on leave after the Office of Undergraduate Admissions identified irregularities in his recruitment practices and the university initiated an internal investigation."
The investigation showed that Ernst had violated university rules concerning admissions and he left the school the following year. The school officials said the university was not aware of Ernst's alleged criminal activity or acceptance of bribes until it was later contacted by the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Now that details of the alleged fraud are public, university officials are reviewing the details of the indictment and will take appropriate action.
"We have no indication that any other Georgetown employees were involved," the letter said. It also noted that the school established a new policy last year to strengthen the recruitment and admissions process for potential student athletes. The school's Department of Athletics and Office of Undergraduate Admissions also currently performs audits to make sure recruited student-athletes are on the roster of the sport for which they were recruited.
Another Catholic University, the University of San Diego, was also named by federal prosecutors as a victim in the admissions scam. According to the San Diego Union Tribune, a former coach at the university allegedly took bribes to help get students enrolled at the university. The coach's name has not been announced and the newspaper said it is not clear if charges are pending.
A March 12 letter to the university community from the school's president, James Harris, III, acknowledged the investigation was taking place and that the school was cooperating.
"We have been cooperating with the government's investigation and we have no reason to believe that any members of our admissions team, our administration or staff or our current coaching staff were aware of or involved in the alleged wrongdoing," he wrote. "We believe the federal government agrees with this assessment," he added.
He said the university was conducting an internal review and would take appropriate action if they uncover any violations of school policies.
Harris said the university's admissions and recruiting policies "are grounded in a commitment to integrity and ethical conduct" and the government's current investigation "reflects conduct that is neither condoned nor tolerated" at the university.
In announcing the charges in this case March 12 in Boston, U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling called the parents involved "a catalog of wealth and privilege."
Coverage of the announcement by The Associated Press said no students were charged and in many of these cases they didn't even know what was going on.
"For every student admitted through fraud, an honest and genuinely talented student was rejected," Lelling said.
Patricia McGuire, president of Trinity Washington University, expressed her thoughts about the admission scandal on Twitter March 12 and 13: "Parents may have some inchoate notion of wanting their kids to do well," but they also want "bragging rights about where their kids are in school." The scandal is as "much about the parents' status consciousness as it is about wanting the children to do well," she added.
She also said that students and parents need to know the best college is "where the student will learn well with dedicated teachers and a campus environment that supports the student's interests and needs. For some students that might be a big-name school, but for many it's a smaller place."

After compiling it and running the executable, nothing happens.

A: No error in the code.
Just write getch(); or getchar() before return 0;
to holding the output screen.
getch() or getchar() will hold the ouput screen for getting the user's input.

A: Works fine for me.
You've tagged this with terminal; if you are running it from the terminal, you should see some output, in my experience.

If you are running from an IDE,

*

*keep the window open using Kapil K.'s answer;

*keep the window open using an IDE setting, if there is one; or

*find out where your IDE is putting the executable file, and run that from a terminal.

Q: Is there a material that becomes permanently conductive after being exposed to light? There exist a material that becomes permanently conductive after being exposed to light?

A: I'd say that depends heavily on the light. Especially on the heat that is deposited in your material. The keyword here is resistive switching (for example in oxides).
With light that deposits enough energy it is for example possible to switch phase change materials between a low and high conductive state. This is how DVDs work. For DVDs the reflectivity is read out, which also changes from one state to the other. But the resistivity is switched too, as you can see in the graph below.

(I took this graph from my lecture notes: Prof. Mayer, RWTH Aachen)

It's released and sooner than I thought.
Congratulations! Your book sounds very interesting, and I look forward to reading.
I also have a few articles in peer-reviewed journals. Frustratingly, the books above are extremely overpriced by the publisher. I'm happy to sell them directly at my author's discount; contact me if interested.
I'll be giving a presentation in the Virginia Historical Society's Banner lecture series on Thursday (Sept 14) at noon on my book Stonewall Jackson's Little Sorrel. If anybody is in Richmond with free time, please come! I'm also looking forward to seeing the refurbished Hoffbauer murals, especially "Spring" which shows Jackson aboard an unusually realistic Little Sorrel.
I am a Civil War enthusiast and recent author of "Point Lookout A Civil War Story" by Fredd Snell.
This looks like a great story and great read, Fred. Congratulations on seeing your endeavours realized.
It is based on a true story from my personal family history. My Great-Great-Great Grandfather and his son enlisted in Company C of the 8th Virginia Cavalry when the war started. The Company was raised in Grayson County, Virginia. His son was wounded at the Battle of White Sulfur Springs in the summer of 1863 and taken prisoner. He was sent to the Union Prisoner of War Camp at Point Lookout, Maryland shortly after it opened. I meticulously researched all aspects of the book, but especially the conditions at Point Lookout, the Andersonville of the North, where the incarcerated prisoners suffered greatly. The conditions at Point Lookout form a big part of the story. But as luck would have it, the 8th VA Cavalry, including my G-G-G Grandfather, were attached to General Jubal Early's Valley Campaign of July, 1864 which threatened WDC. At that juncture, General Lee decided to take a gamble and detached most of Early's cavalry, under the command of Brigadier Bradley T. Johnson, on a secret mission to attack the Point Lookout Prisoner of War Camp and free the 20,000 prisoners being held there. So, my G-G-G Grandfather was on a secret mission to free his own son. The details of the raid, which was eventually aborted, forms another major portion of the book. It ends when the 8th VA Cavalry, along with my G-G-G Grandfather, are ordered to burn down Chambersburg, PA in October, 1864 in retaliation for Sherman's burning of Atlanta and David Hunter's earlier burning of VMI in Lexington, VA and the houses of other prominent Confederates in the valley. So, even though it is a work of historical fiction, I think that it is a story, filled with action, that will appeal to all readers.
If anybody here is in Connecticut I'll be speaking at the Shoreline Civil War Round Table today (Jan 2) at 6:30 PM on my book Stonewall Jackson's Little Sorrel at the Acton Library in Old Saybrook. I keep adding new info to the presentation (can't help it).
Death, Disease, and Life at War: The Civil War Letters of Surgeon James D. Benton, 111th and 98th New York Infantry Regiments, 1862-1865 published by Savas Beatie. It became available in January of this year.
I published my first book last year on April 26, 2017. The title is "Above the High Water Mark" It is based on my ancestor's letters from 1859 to 1872.
Captain Corker is my GGgrandfather. He led the 3rd Ga at Gettysburg on July 2, 1863.
Several highlights include a letter about Corker at Bloody Lane with his sword shot in two, a letter signed by Robert E. Lee sent to Corker's wife after Corker's capture and Corker elected to the 41st Congress in 1870.
The reader will learn many fascinating items such as what was the first Union ship captured by the Confederate Navy!
There is much more.........Available on Amazon and directly from the author a signed copy!
Great thread! Sorry I didn't discover it sooner.
I've just published an historical novel--Jim Wrenn.
The story occurs in the 20th century, but there are some scenes set during the Civil War.
My name is Jeff Eberle, I am new to thiks forum, but am an independent author and historian based in Colorado.
I just wrote and published the first book in a four book series titled "The Gray Ghosts of Colorado" which is the first in-depth study to-date of the secessionist movement, it's leaders, the Confederate underground, and men exiled from Colorado Territory between 1858-1865 who fought for the South during the Civil War. No other text focusing specifically on Confederate activity in Colorado Territory has been written previously, though the subject has been touched on briefly, and often erroneously, by other authors in broad terms while discussing the Civil War in the West.
The first book of the series covers the early history of Colorado Territory, it's southern roots mand founders, and the rise of the secessionist movement 1858-1861. The book is softcover, 228 pages, 8x10 inches, and has numerous photos, $19.99+S/H.
It is also available in PDF and Ebook/Apple iPad formats.
The book is also available through Amazon and Barnes & Noble, but shipping time and charges are higher.
I will be releasing the next three books in the series over the next couple of years.

In this long journey we call life, we often find ourselves lost in the midst of everything. Sometimes all we need is a break and a great destination to help rediscover ourselves. It may not work for everyone, but traveling in itself is a wonderful excuse to leave everyday life temporarily and discover new things. Here are 5 places you can go soul searching in the Philippines.
If the movie That Thing Called Tadhana has not convinced you yet, let us break down why Sagada is the perfect place to find yourself. First, it has a beautiful climate. If you hate the heat of summer, the cool weather up in the mountains will surely be a welcome change. Second and most importantly, the Hanging Coffins of Sagada are a marvel best seen in real life. Let its mysterious and haunting aura inspire you to reflect and learn more about yourself.
Whether you climb Mount Apo or just view it from below, there is something so regal about the largest mountain in the Philippines. The climb may be long and perilous, but once you reach the top, you will be graced with a stunning view that will make it all worth it. The sense of accomplishment you'll feel after this feat is enough to give you a second wind. If you can conquer this mountain, you can surely conquer the challenges you face in life.
It may not be cheap to fly to Batanes, but it will definitely be worth all your time and effort. This beautiful province is located on the northern most tip of the Philippines, and it is composed of three major islands and seven islets. The moment you step into Batanes Island, you will be transported to a whole new world because of how the Spaniards' influence is still so evident in its architecture. With its green pastures and stunning beaches, Batanes is a place you'll never want to leave.
Oslob is one of those hidden gems in the Visayas region. Located in Cebu, it is an island with picturesque beaches that will take your breath away. If you haven't fallen in love with the beauty of the island, you can try to find yourself in the waters as you have the opportunity to swim right beside the majestic whale sharks.
The island of Palaui in Cagayan is a marvel still mostly undiscovered by tourists. It was the setting of two seasons of the popular US reality TV series, Survivor. In 2010, it was named one of the world's 100 best beaches by CNN. Most of the island is made up of grasslands and mountain ranges, good for trekking and hiking. A nice site to visit on the island is Cape Engaño as well as Cape Engaño Lighthouse at its summit.


Killington is known for its natural beauty and all the adventures that come with it. From hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding in the summer to skiing and snowboarding in the winter. If you're looking for a break from the outdoor activities if the weather isn't cooperating one day then consider spending the day at Jax Food and Games.
Jax Food and Games is a family-friendly bar known for its great local beer selection, live music, food, and an arcade. Known as Killington's hometown bar, they offer weekly live entertainment and are open every day from 3 p.m. to close.

If you are at Jax for the bar, they have a large selection of local craft beers. Jax Food and Games Killington also offers a free shuttle service that will take you back to your home or hotel as long as it is within a six miles radius.
If you are looking for accommodation in Killington, consider booking one of our vacation rentals.

All of our rentals are fully furnished and equipped with everything you may need for your vacation. Several of our homes are conveniently located at the base of the Killington Ski Resort with shuttle service to the ski lift if you are visiting during the winter season.

The Philadelphia Premium Outlets is a  open-air outlet mall located in Limerick Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, 35 miles northwest of Philadelphia. It is located off an interchange of U.S. Route 422 near the Limerick Nuclear Power Plant. It is owned by the Premium Outlets division of Simon Property Group.

History
Construction of the Philadelphia Premium Outlets began on September 20, 2006 with a goal to provide more shopping options for residents of Montgomery County as well as additional tax revenue and jobs for the community. The Philadelphia Premium Outlets opened to huge crowds at 9 a.m. on November 8, 2007 with 120 stores. An expansion completed in April 2008 brought the number of stores to 150.

The center celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2017. In addition to welcoming many new retailers over the years, it has also retained more than half of the original 120 that were in business there on opening day in 2007.

Stores and services
The outlet mall is home to 150 stores including Lane Bryant, Gap Factory, Movado, Old Navy, Nike, Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Restoration Hardware, Forever 21, and H&M. It also has a food court, with restaurants such as Wendy's, Sbarro, and Tony Luke's.

Ever wonder how it is that every full-service Mexican restaurant has ample sombreros to place upon each birthday patron's head? Now you know.
These milliners are ankle deep in straw hats of different weaves. Do you own one, tucked into the back of your closet? No? Have you ever been the lucky sap beneath the hat at a Mexican restaurant? I have. At the place we patronize each Sunday after church, they chant a generic name to the birthday boy or girl. "Happy BIRTH-day, Panchito, Happy Birthday to you!" And then Panchito gets complimentary fried ice cream.
Wow,that there is a lot of hats. ha!
As you know I am a hat guy,but sombreros don't do anything for me. I would be curious as to how many Mexican hats are made in China. Oh I could use some fried ice cream. I wonder if Mexican joints make it the same way as Japanese joints.
I love me a sombrero.
YES!!!!! I love being called Panchito on my birthday at a Mexican restaurant.
The best one was when I turned 18 and the Mariachi band sang to the wrong table so they had to redo it and looked super embarrassed while singing Happy BIRRRRthday Panchito to me after having done it for some random 40-something fella. It's always interesting which memories stick with ya, innit?
And to answer your question… No!!!! I don't have a somberor tucked away in the back of my closet. Given that we're pals in all, I'll tell you what I hide in the closet….
I am wondering why the pretzels and tea are not in the pantry, and the Dayquil not in the medicine closet, which is not even a closet usually. Except ours is. And why can't you smoke a cigar with a buddy and use the cigar cutter? You don't have to wait on Bug Guy.
As for the cigar smoking… it's pretty much something I only did with that fellow. Maybe I need more cigar smokers in my life?
Maybe just keep it until your bachelor party.

Players are using and endorsing CBD, but the PGA Tour is wary
Original Source: Players are using and endorsing CBD, but the PGA Tour is wary
It's one of the most popular trends on tour. And, some would argue, one of its riskiest.
In 2018, the World AntiDoping Agency removed CBD from its Prohibited List, allowing its use by PGA Tour players and Olympic athletes. (The tour, as a participant in the Games, takes its direction on drug enforcement from WADA and the United States Anti-Doping Agency.) Maggie Durand of WADA says a drug is placed on the list for meeting two of three criteria: It has the potential to enhance sport performance, it represents a health risk to the athletes, and it violates the spirit of sport.
According to tour players, caddies and coaches interviewed by Golf Digest, perhaps 15 to 20 players, or more, routinely use a CBD product. Bubba Watson, Charley Hoffman, Lucas Glover and Scott Piercy are among the high-profile names with CBD-related sponsorships, along with Champions player Scott McCarron.
What spurs the players' CBD use varies. Cited benefits include anti-inflammatory properties, anxiety relief, and improved sleep. Watson, who has been the most vocal player on the topic, says the product keeps him pain-free.
"What many don't realize is the incredible mental and physical strain pro golfers endure practicing and competing day after day and year after year," says Anthony Mazzotti, CEO of Functional Remedies, which became the first hemp-oil company to become an official sponsor on tour (the Champions' Rapiscan Systems Classic).
In April, however, the tour sent a warning to players about CBD. The warning, which the tour shared with Golf Digest, states, "The FDA, DEA and private organizations including Major League Baseball (MLB), have conducted tests on CBD and "THC-free" products only to find significant levels of psychoactive (and prohibited) THC or falsely labeled amounts of CBD."
Andy Levinson, executive director of the PGA Tour's Anti-Doping Program, has expressed concern because of the lack of regulation within the industry. In a 2017 study, the American Medical Association discovered more than two-thirds of products tested had different levels of CBD than what was stated on the label. In 21 percent of those items, THC was found, which at any level could produce a failed test for a tour player.
"CBD in its pure form is not prohibited," Levinson told Golf Digest, "but the use of CBD in any of its currently available forms would be at a player's risk."
Some players remain undaunted. "I've had doctors involved to do my research and see what companies out there make a product that's safe for me and safe for my family. It was a no-brainer," Watson says. "There's no bad stuff in it, there are no chemicals in there that will mess you up or make you fail a drugs test. There are certain companies we trust."
To this point, no player has publicly failed a tour drug test because of CBD use. And, given the samples of CBD products available at a handful of PGA Tour events this season, there's not a back-room stigma to its use. Nevertheless, Levinson says he gets more CBD-related questions than on any other supplement.
"You see this a lot in the supplement industry," Levinson says. "There's some buzz around something, and everybody tries it, and they might stick to it for a while, but generally a lot of times it fades away."

Their concert programme celebrates the long history of the recorder from the mediaeval period to the present day. The ensemble perform on a specialist array of instruments of every shape and size, from their beautiful 15-piece renaissance consort to their fascinating set of contemporary Paetzold 'square' basses. The group aims to combine an awareness of recent scholarship in Renaissance and early repertoire with performances of more contemporary works.
The sweet song of the recorder has been used to imitate the sounds of birds and woodlands for hundreds of years, inspiring generations of musicians and composers. In this beautiful programme Fontanella is inspired by the sights, senses and sounds of nature, presenting a feast of music featuring the lark, nightingale and all the pleasures of the ancient "oken wood". William Byrd's famous setting Henry VIII 's favourite song forms a backdrop to music from the thirteenth to the twenty first centuries, including music by Monteverdi, Marenzio, Purcell and Vivaldi, as well as some jazz arrangements and new sounds, featuring a large array of recorders of all shapes and sizes!
An Afternoon Workshop at 4.30 - 5.45pm for recorder players of all ages will also be led by members of Fontanella. To book, please contact classicconcert@aol.com, giving details of your previous recorder playing experience.


There are a lot of components to a math lesson. You look for activities with engagement and complexity to assess understanding. Sounds simple enough but there are several layers to each of those factors making it hard to find the perfect balance. So when I work with teachers on implementing number sense during their math class they start to panic.
I get it. You're holding all these reminders in your mental filing cabinet when you're teaching a lesson. You want to target specific standards and explain key concepts. You want to ask higher order thinking questions. You want your students to really grapple with concepts rather than memorize procedural steps.
Building number sense will ensure you target all those wants. Number sense is not another component to your math block. Instead it is part of everything you say and do in the classroom. Simply put…it's good teaching.
A good math teacher is always looking for ways to sprinkle number sense into lessons, but it can be hard to find and/or write number sense connected questions.
Look for questions that are open ended, require critical thinking, and reinforce the concept that numbers can be manipulated. Be intentional in the types of questions you ask.
Example: When rounded to the nearest hundred, I become 400. What numbers could I be?
This question takes a standard (rounding) that is often taught procedurally in classrooms and requires students to conceptualize the concept of rounding based on the value of specific digits. Students must work backwards starting with a number that has been rounded to the nearest hundred. Students will first share the most obvious answers such as 399. It takes some time for the class to conclude that any number from 351 to 449 rounds to 400 if asked to round to the nearest hundred. This question is far more complex than, "Round 377 to the nearest hundred," thus reinforcing number sense.
Some children have been given opportunities to build number sense at a very young age. Those students will appear to naturally understand how to manipulative numbers and place value for easier computation, while others will struggle. Educate your students on the different number sense strategies. Model these strategies time and time again. Constant repetition will help your struggling students develop number sense. Provide your class with daily prompts to drive the concept home. We learn better when we are asked to apply that knowledge regularly.
Number sense related questions lead to great math discussions. The more open ended you can make a question the better. Open ended tasks increase discussion and collaboration amongst your students. Encourage your students to work in groups or pairs so they communicate their mathematical reasoning.
I use my Grab and Go Number Talks resource to drive home these three components of number sense. It has everything I need for the year.
I wish I had a time machine. I would go back and change some of my routines I did in my classroom. Without a doubt I would modify the way I taught and assessed math fluency. I was an advocate of timed tests and rote learning of math facts. I sat in parent conferences and defended my stance on the importance of timed fluency tests. Thru professional development and trial and error I modified my fluency curriculum. I came to the conclusion that timed tests and merely recalling math facts did not support the core foundation of my math pedagogy.
I teach math conceptually. I believe that math curriculum is comprised of 30% procedural and 70% conceptual understanding. My main goal is to teach my students to be problem solvers; to work smarter, not harder. But that philosophy wasn't being used by my students when it came to fluency.
The importance of math fluency hit home one day when I had my students check and grade their own timed tests. I have never noticed how many of them would have to write out 100 minus however many they got wrong to calculate their score. By 4th grade my students should have been able to mentally manipulate numbers within a 100. The time I spent adding rigor to my math block was being wasted if my students couldn't carry that deep thinking into fluency.
Current trends in education focus on growth mindset, project-based learning, and critical thinking, yet many educators limit student growth by only using timed fluency assessments.
I developed a new process for teaching math fluency. My "5 Steps to Building Meaningful Math Fluency" outlines how I define, teach, and assess math fluency. Each step provides details and examples of how you can start implementing meaningful math fluency in your classroom.

Impulse spending can ruin even the best of budgets. Here are four strategies to help you stop.
Let's say that you're in a store and on the verge of buying something nice but probably unnecessary -- like a $100 bottle of wine (or indulgence of your choice). Now, in the throes of the persuasion tactics of the specialty wine store purveyor and the heady atmosphere of sherry-soaked barrels and Chesterfield sofas, it might be easy to just say, "Who cares, I'm doing it!" and spend the money.
This is how a totally sustainable and healthy budget can be waylaid by impulse buying. After all, we all have our weaknesses, and willpower is a scarce resource.
How do you stop yourself in the moment? Here are four strategies to help you stop your impulse spending and take control of your finances.
Early research into impulse buying suggested that shoppers often feel out of control when making impulse purchases as part of their sudden need to buy something right now. Establishing rules may not work for everyone, but having a default decision or process to follow might help you bring some control back into your hands.
In the case of the bottle of wine, you could implement a rule about a cooling-off period: For example, "I always wait 24 hours before spending $100 or more on something." Alternatively, you could require accountability for purchases more than a certain amount: "I always call my spouse/friend/mom before spending $100 or more." Your rule might restrict wine purchases to $20 or less no matter what, or it might involve a monthly line-item budget for expensive wines.
Whatever the actual rule is, the point is to interrupt the impulse to buy with a set of actions that you follow in that situation. The point is the make the behavior automatic so that you don't have to constantly fight temptation with willpower. No matter how strong you are, willpower will very often lose in the end.
Another useful strategy: For every impulse purchase or indulgence expenditure, send a matching contribution to your savings account.
We are oddly susceptible to discounts and expenditures that are framed as a good deal or a cost savings. Life is complicated, after all, and we often don't stop and think about how sensible that value pack of salami really is -- or whether 50% off a $300 pair of shoes is still a reasonable price for shoes.
Instead of trying to do the math on all of these fronts, try to simplify by raising the price of the indulgence. You might not be too flummoxed by a $100 bottle of wine, but $200 for that same bottle might give you pause. Is it really worth losing out on another $100 in spending money? If so, great -- enjoy the wine knowing that you've also "paid" for it with a savings contribution.
Of course, the key is to actually send the money to savings. If you can't force yourself to do this, the idea won't work so well.
If remembering rules or setting up accountability systems is a little complicated for you, you might want to consider altering your surroundings instead. We do a lot of buying relatively mindlessly; so to limit impulse purchases, it can be helpful to limit the opportunity to make them.
Retail environments in particular are primed to take advantage of our impulses -- the scents and music in a store, for example, can be strategically manipulated to encourage more shopping. Further, we are also highly susceptible to behavioral cues in our surroundings. Certain environments will trigger certain behaviors, like smoking or buying expensive wine. This is why a highly successful strategy for habit change is to change your environment -- with the old triggers no longer there, it's easier to establish new behaviors.
You can take advantage of this psychological factoid by adjusting where you spend your time and the places or ways that you shop. If you have a hard time saying no at the wine store, don't go to the wine store. A little sad, maybe, but incredibly useful. If online sales are your thing, unsubscribe from every online store's emails. (Note: If you're really into online shopping, sending these emails to spam won't work.) If you can't pass the Coca Cola display without buying at the grocery store, try going to a different store.
Just changing your surroundings can have a huge impact on the things you do, so consider your triggers and the environmental factors that might be affecting your decision making. A few tweaks here and there could save you a lot of money.

RNA interference (RNAi) is a phenomenon in which the introduction of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) into a diverse range of organisms and cell types causes degradation of the complementary mRNA (Figure 1; step 1). In the cell, long dsRNAs are cleaved into short 21-25 nucleotide small interfering RNAs, or siRNAs, by a ribonuclease known as Dicer (step 2). The siRNAs subsequently assemble with protein components into an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), unwinding in the process (step 3). Activated RISC then binds to complementary transcript by base pairing interactions between the siRNA antisense strand and the mRNA. The bound mRNA is cleaved (step 4) and sequence specific degradation of mRNA (step 5) results in gene silencing (reviewed in 1-3).
RNAi has been used as a tool by scientists to understand gene function in Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila. In these organisms, RNAi can be induced by introducing long dsRNA complementary to the target mRNA to be degraded. In mammalian cells and organisms, however, introducing dsRNA longer than 30 bp activates a potent antiviral response. To circumvent this, siRNAs are used to induce RNAi in mammalian cells and organisms.
In the last few years, siRNAs have been used in a number of different experimental settings to silence gene expression. In some, chemically synthesized or in vitro transcribed siRNAs have been transfected into cells, injected into mice, or introduced into plants (e.g. by a particle gun). In others, siRNAs have been expressed endogenously from siRNA expression vectors or PCR products in cells or in transgenic animals.
In addition to their role in gene silencing, siRNAs have been determined to play diverse biological functions in vivo -- roles that include antiviral defense, transposon silencing, gene regulation, centromeric silencing, and genomic rearrangements. This functional diversity has exemplified the importance of siRNAs within cells and has also stirred interest in their detection across species and tissues.

Many travel operators tailor bundle offers that combine hotel, airfare and car rental to reward travellers with substantial savings. When you partner with a knowledgeable service provider who knows their way around the offers out there, they should be able to advise you on which of these bundles are a good investment that will yield some welcome ROI. There are some fly-by-nights out there, so it always pays to have a professional check it out before you sign on the dotted line.
Hidden travel costs like baggage excess is one of the biggest budget-breakers. Cut down on these expenses, which tend to add up if left unchecked, by packing like a pro. Whittle down your travel wardrobe to the basic essentials and look up a few useful packing hacks to make the most of the space in your suitcase (e.g. rolling instead of folding, using the 'dead space' inside shoes, etc.).
Hotel groups and airlines adore frequent travellers. After all, you are their bread and butter! This is why you'll often find reward schemes for repeat customers. Make use of these incentive structures to cut down on future travel costs. Frequent flyer miles could add up to the point where you can fly to one of your destinations without paying a cent, and certain hotel groups also offer substantial savings for loyal clientele. Check it out and cash in!

We've got our sights set on sleek and chic this season. This necklace features sleek brass tubes, faceted crystals, and pyrite beads for a chic statement. Take this necklace from day to night with little effort! This DIY kit makes one necklace.
Open one small jump ring using chain nose pliers. Twist the ring north to south to open it, not by pulling east to west. Then add a large jump ring to the open ring and close it back by twisting in the opposite direction.
Grab the beading wire and place one small crimp bead on one end of the wire, followed by the small jump ring holding the larger jump ring.
Take the end of the wire and skip over the jump ring but go through the crimp bead to form a loop around the jump ring. Pull the crimp bead up towards the jump ring making the loop smaller. Then using your chain nose pliers, push down on the crimp bead firmly, making it flat.
Thread one large curved tube onto the beading wire.
Add a 1 pyrite cube bead, 3 resin beads and 1 faceted crystal bead onto the wire.
Add on the shorter brass tube bead and then the rest of the beads mirrored to the side we just threaded onto the beading cord. Pull all the beads to the end of the jump ring we attached earlier.
Close off the other side similar to haw we did it in the beginning. First thread on a crimp bead (make sure it doesn't fall down through the tube). Then add on a small jump ring with one small jump rings and a lobster clasp attached to at the end. Form the loop and close the crimp bead close to the tube. You want the tension of the beading cord tight and not loose or you will end up seeing beading cord at the end of your necklace.
Trim the wire outside of the tube leaving an inch of extra wire. Push the extra wire back into the tube to hide it.
