Can You Take Delta-8 and Delta-9 Together?
Delta-8 is a new, legal THC alternative that can be accessed in states where traditional THC is out of reach. Still, even frequent Delta-9 users are curious about the shiny new cannabinoid and it's proposed health benefits. Question is—Can you take Delta-8 and Delta-9 together?
The answer is yes, you can, but would you really want to? Here's what happens when you combine the two cannabinoids:
Why Would You Want to Combine Cannabinoids?
What Happens When You Take Delta-8 and Delta-9 Together?
Delta-8 + Delta-9 Effects
Is It Safe to Combine D8 and D9
Consider Combining Delta-8 with CBD
Delta-8 is Great on Its Own
Delta-8 and Delta-9 have similar effects, but Delta-9's effects are more potent.
When combined, Delta-8 may be overshadowed by Delta-9, but there are no adverse reactions associated with taking Delta-8 and Delta-9 together.
If you want to lessen the effects of THC, you may consider combining your regular THC dose with CBD instead.
Pairing different cannabinoids is nothing new, and companies have been using the method for years to fine tune products to meet certain therapeutic needs. The combined benefits of two or more specific cannabinoids can be referred to as the "ensemble effect." For instance, our Dream Tincture combines CBDand CBN to provide boosted benefits for sleep.
Some experts suggest that specific cannabinoid combinations may be even more useful than a general full spectrum formula that contains many different cannabinoids. But what about combining Delta-8 and Delta-9? Are there any specific benefits to this cannabinoid combination?
Well, the difference here is that both of these cannabinoids are a form of THC. Both Delta-9 and Delta-8 have similar effects, although D8 is known to be much less potent.
They also both bind to CB-1 receptors in the body, which is the cannabinoid receptor in the brain and central nervous system that's responsible for intoxication. Unlike Delta-9, though, Delta-8 can bind to CB2 receptors in the immune system and bodily tissues, which gives it a unique edge.
These complications may muddle the experience of combining the two, although we can't rule out the possibility of increased health benefits because research has yet to cover this territory. Still, it's likely that the two will impact each other's absorption since they will both fight for some of the same receptor sites.
According to anecdotal reports, the up front effects of combining Delta-8-THC and Delta-9 aren't much different than the effects you may feel from taking Delta-9 alone. That's because Delta-9's effects are stronger, which means they kind of overshadow the effects of Delta-8.
Still, Delta-8-THC has that one unique edge we mentioned earlier—it also binds to CB2 receptors in the immune system throughout the body. Some people who combine the two experience greater body effects and more relief from physical ailments, like pain.
The actual effects you experience will vary based on things like dosage, tolerance, body weight, and other biological factors. For instance, if you take much more Delta-8-THC than Delta-9, you may experience milder effects with a heavier body sensation.
Is It Safe to Combine Delta-8 and Delta-9?
There are no known contraindications between D8 and D9, so the risks are generally the same as when taking either cannabinoid alone. The risks of THC include:
coordination problems
dry mouth and increased thirst
red, dry eyes
slower reaction times
One thing to consider is the risk associated with an increased dosage. If you usually take 10 mg of Delta-9 and decide to also add 10 mg of Delta-8, the effects may be stronger than what you usually experience. For some people, taking too much THC can result in side effects like temporary anxiety and paranoia.
If you're considering combining Delta-8 with Delta-9 because you seek a milder psychoactive experience, you may want to consider adding a CBD dose to your next THC dose instead.
One study titled "Taming THC: potential cannabis synergy and phytocannabinoid-terpenoid entourage effects" suggests that many other cannabinoids and terpenes, especially CBD, are able to moderate THC's effects. In particular, CBD may reduce THC's psychoactivity while still providing its own layer of therapeutic relief.
Delta-8-THC is Great On Its Own
Delta-8 is sometimes described as a middle point between Delta-9 and CBD. The description isn't entirely accurate, but it makes the point that Delta-8 is milder than Delta-9. The effects of Delta-8 are usually described as "mellow" and "relaxing," and the cannabinoid is thought to be way less likely to cause many of the side effects associated with THC, like anxiety. That means that Delta-8 may provide the smooth lift you desire all on it's own, with no need to combine it with Delta-9.
To find safe, legal Delta-8-THC that you can order online, we recommend checking out our Elev8 Collection. You'll find a selection of vapes, flower, tinctures, and edibles that are 100% Farm Bill compliant, potent, and pure.

100 Albums: "Astro Lounge" by Smash Mouth
Artist: Smash Mouth
Title: Astro Lounge
Genre: alt-rock surf-pop
Twenty-two records in and this is the third surf-rock album. I may have a type. This is another album that is just plain fun. And yes, All-Star is much maligned, and I suppose that's fair. It's light and fluffy and got seriously overplayed when it came out. But the entire album holds up. I make sure it's on my iPod before any lengthy road trip, because not only is it compulsively listenable, it even sounds good on crappy car speakers with messed up EQs.
It opens with Who's There, a track that gleefully announces what you can expect for the next fifty-odd minutes: vintage-guitar-and-rock-organ dance-pop that's been bedazzled with sci-fi sound effects and theramins. It's not deep, but it's up-tempo and immensely fun. And even if the singles are kind of played out, there are plenty of other great songs to choose from. I'm a big fan of Waste, Fallen Horses, Diggin' Your Scene, and I Just Wanna See. The only thing I don't particularly like about the album is the ending. The penultimate song Home would have been a perfect closer, but a cover of ? And The Mysterians' I Can't Get Enough Of You Baby is tacked on after (yes, I know The Four Seasons did it first, but SM's version definitely is inspired by ?atM). Skip it.
Further Listening: Fush Yu Mang, the band's debut, has a couple decent tracks, but nothing else Smash Mouth has put out really holds a candle to this, not that I've heard anyway.

Genius Brands International Achieves Five-Fold Increase in Revenue for the Second Quarter of 2019
Launch of over 450 product SKUs underway
Genius Brands' content now available to nearly 70% of all U.S. households
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Aug. 20, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Genius Brands International, Inc. ("Genius Brands") (NASDAQ:GNUS), today provided a business update and reported financial results for the second quarter of 2019.
Andy Heyward, Chairman & CEO of Genius Brands, commented, "We are pleased to report a significant increase in revenue for the second quarter of 2019, due in large part to the traction we are gaining with both Rainbow Rangers and Llama Llama—both of which have been picked up for a second season on Nick Jr. and Netflix respectively. We are now transitioning into the next phase of our growth, which includes product merchandising around these two hit series. Moreover, our partners are among the top manufacturers, from toys by Mattel, to vitamins by Integrity Vitamins, to bikes by Dynacraft and apparel by Bentex. In total, we are in the process of launching over 450 licensed SKUs, with several SKUs now hitting shelves and the remainder scheduled to launch over the coming nine months. We look forward to providing further updates as future products hit the market."
"We continue to expand our brands and gain viewership, both in the U.S. and internationally. We recently announced the launch of a Kid Genius Plus! service on the DISH network, which provides content to over 80 million U.S. TV households, and joins a growing distribution roster that includes Amazon Prime, Sling TV, Comcast's Xfinity on Demand, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire, Cox, Tubi, Tankee, and Xumo and other important OTT platforms. As a result, I'm pleased to report our content is now available to nearly 70% of all U.S. households. In addition to aligning with new platform partners, we are also continuing to identify potential content partners to offer our audience a diverse range of content."
"We look forward to aggressively rolling out additional content, aligned with our mission of providing kids and parents with a safe viewing environment that offers premium enriching and engaging programming. Our diversified portfolio of content includes a growing roster of titles, which will now include our all-new comedy, action-adventure animated series for children, Stan Lee's Superhero Kindergarten, starring the iconic star, Arnold Schwarzenegger (The Terminator franchise, Twins, Kindergarten Cop, Total Recall, Predator). Stan Lee's Superhero Kindergarten was recently introduced to a standing room only audience at this year's International Comic-Con: San Diego. In my many years producing hit titles, I've never witnessed such positive feedback from potential industry partners, manufacturers or consumers—both children and parents alike."
Mr. Heyward concluded, "Given our current growth rate and scalable business model, we believe we are extremely well positioned to drive improved profitability and shareholder value in the second half of 2019 and for years to come as our merchandising strategy begins to impact our financial results."
Revenue for the second quarter of 2019 increased to $0.5 million, compared to approximately $76 thousand for the same period last year. The increased revenue primarily reflects growth in Television & Home Entertainment, which increased approximately by $261,253 or 764%, primarily due to the revenue generated from the international television deliveries of Rainbow Rangers as well as licensing and royalty revenue, which increased approximately $125,006 or 507% due to the revenue generated from the Rainbow Rangers and Llama Llama properties.

If we would express how the USB flash drive is an amazingly effective marketing tool more often, it would be considered spam. And nothing less can be said about this small high-tech gadget. As USB sticks are replacing any other storing mediums, branding them will strongly endorse your company's name, products or services, especially if they are custom made. This will help your business to stand out from the mass of printed promotional item standard designs. It will give your gift a unique aspect and feel and, most likely, you will prevent your give-away become a throw-away.
Promotional USB flash drives have an increasing digital data storage capacity and their standard designs are more and more diverse since they had become an established marketing tool. No wonder that manufacturing industry made bespoke and other custom shaped USB sticks available for purchase and their costs are more convenient because the production process evolved a lot in the last years.
High quality small scale custom moulding process is available now to all USB manufacturers and it helps create unique promotional USB items. USB flash drives can be produced from a lot of different recyclable or recycled materials, like PVC, ABS, PET and silicon, and they make the memory drives not only cheaper to manufacture, but also much lighter. Because the moulds are made from low density metal alloys and they can be cut with much finer equipment; plus the materials used to create the body of the flash drives are more malleable; the text or the logo is created with phenomenal details. We can say that PVC is one of the best materials to create 2D or 3D custom shaped bodies for USB sticks. It is a very cost effective way to create a highly desirable marketing tool, even in small or medium sized shapes.
First you have to decide what shape will best represent your business and then send it to your USB products supplier. If the shape is too large to send, then photos from different angles will suffice. At this point, a 2D or 3D wireframe CAD rendition is created and will be sent to be approved by your company. If it is approved, a soft metal mould will be created with the help of a computer controlled lathe. In the newly created mould, molten PVC, or other material, is applied and when it solidifies gets ejected.
Now, if lead times allow it, the first sample of the product is sent to the client for a new approval, but if lead times are very tight, it can be photographed and the images are sent for assessment. If the sample passes the quality and design test, the full quantity can be manufactured in about five days' time for smaller orders. For larger orders, to speed up the manufacturing process, multiple moulds are required.
After the body is created, it is sent to a USB assembly factory, to create the final product by combining the controller chip and the flash memory by attaching them in the outer casing. If the preloaded data service was opted, the digital information requested is uploaded at this stage, to lower the client's costs.
Usually, the overall conception, manufacturing and delivering times should not take more than 15 business days for the first order. If another order is placed, these times should be lower, as the moulds are already created and will be ready to be used to create another batch of custom made USB memory drives.
All companies face budget restrictions and every marketing department feels them too. This also creates a pressure on the promotional gifts suppliers to offer more for less. Because of this, you can find on the market custom shaped USB sticks or bespoke USB flash drives at the same price as the standard models, for orders more than 200 units, and sometimes even less.
Take advantage of this market trend to promote your brand in a unique and cost-effective manner, and be ahead of your competitors.

Sanity from Walker and Carson
RUSH: Scott Walker weighed in last night on The Kelly File on Fox News Channel. Megyn Kelly said, "Dr. Krauthammer came out tonight listening to the president and said, 'The president errs on the side of downplaying the threat of radical Islam, describing this man as just a lone gunman, and there are other examples with respect to the underwear bomber who called "an isolated extremist" and then of course Benghazi, where Obama refused to call it a terrorist attack at all.' Does Dr. Krauthammer have a point?
WALKER: We need to acknowledge that we're at war and radical Islamic terrorism is our enemy, and it's not enough just to have containment anymore. When you talked about the policies that prohibited our military personally from being armed at an establishment like this, those are outdated. Containment was something that might have been good during the Cold War, but we're facing an enemy in radical Islamic terrorism that's willing to take the fight to us.
RUSH: Republican presidential hopeful Scott Walker. And then he kept going on Planned Parenthood.
WALKER: Years ago when I first became governor the state of Wisconsin, in my first budget I defunded Planned Parenthood. I took some attacks from some in the media and some in the left. But this video is just a prime example. This is not a noncontroversial entity. This is obviously a disturbing, disgusting act that they're talking about. We've outlawed that in Wisconsin in the past. We need to be defunding Planned Parenthood. Not only state by state, but I think across the country and instead put resources into women's health issues but put them into noncontroversial entities.
RUSH: Dr. Benjamin Carson also on The Kelly File last night. She said, "The argument is that those fetal organs are going for a good use. What is your take on that, Dr. Carson?"
CARSON: It's been overpromised what the benefits of fetal research would be, and very much under-delivered. It's a spurious argument. But, you know, what's really disturbing is the fact that we have become so callous that a lot of people don't even realize that this is shocking to see the callousness with which we are treating human life. It's interesting that there are so many people who are concerned about snail darters and little spiders and things, and yet the human being inside of that mother's womb — just beyond, you know, 10 weeks — is much more sophisticated than many of these creatures that they're trying to preserve.
RUSH: You know, that is obviously true and right on the money. I hear comments like this and I think of the idiot trolls on Twitter. I think of the dumb idiots on the tech blogs and so forth, the commenters. What have they become based on how they've been taught? "There's no human life anyway in the womb. It's an unviable tissue mass. It's not a human life until the woman decides what to do with it." That's what they think, and, "It's nobody's business. Screw you, Dr. Carson! Who the hell are you?" Dr. Carson continued, by the way. I just want to get the closing statement here. We'll get this now…
CARSON: We've distorted things to the point where people believe that if the mother can't kill the baby, then anybody who's advocating that is a enemy of women. How can we be so fooloish as to believe such a thing? A little developing baby is just an incredible sight to behold. Got a nice little nose and little fingers and hands and the heart's beating, and it can respond to environmental stimulus. I mean, how can you believe that that's just an irrelevant mass of cells? And that's what they want you to believe, when in fact it is a human being.
RUSH: No, it is not because if it's a human being then the left must face their conscience. That they will never do, so it isn't a human being and nobody can convince them otherwise. At nine months and aborted it's not a human being, as far as they're concerned.

As part of a joint initiative between the Global Water Partnership Technical Committee (GWP-TEC) , UNESCAP and other organizations, to develop a Southeast Asia Water Security Roadmap, the Global Water Partnership Southeast Asia (GWP-SEA) has commissioned this study to gather inputs for the preparation of the Roadmap. The study is based mainly on information collected by the GWP-SEA from its country networks, and comprises the following 3 main activities:
Data collection and report writing for each country (Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippine, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam) on the Policy, Legal and Institutional Aspects 2000 – 2010.
Country Stakeholders Dialogue Workshops to review and discuss the Country Report 2000 – 2010.
A Regional Workshop to discuss the final report on the "Evaluation of IWRM Implementation in Southeast Asia (2000 -2010) - in respect to Policy, Legal and Institutional Aspects" consisting of a compilation of the outputs from each Country Report.
This report is an overview of the status of IWRM implementation in Southeast Asia, from 2000 to 2010 with Respect to Policy, Legal and Institutional Aspects. It is a synthesis compilation and assessment of the key points from each of the country reports that were prepared by country experts appointed by GWP-SEA.

Multi-stakeholder Position Paper on the inclusion of community-based water and sanitation program in the new Water Law in Indonesia
Global Water Partnership Southeast Asia and its partners in Indonesia successfully formulated a position paper on the inclusion of community-based water and sanitation program for the Water Resources Law Draft of the Republic of Indonesia. The paper was presented and accepted by the Parliament after series of meetings and workshop co-organized by GWP-SEA together with Unicef Indonesia, Center for Regulation Policy and Governance (CRPG), and Jejaring AMPL (Indonesia's Water and Sanitation Networks). The discussions that were held on September 2018 involved civil societies, non-governmental organizations, government representatives, academics, related partners, and mass media.

10 Stories of Impact
Coinciding with the UN's Climate Action Summit in New York, GWP released a 'sneak preview' of impact stories from its Water, Climate and Development Programme (WACDEP). The new publication, "Mobilising Change Makers", are a collection that illustrate GWP's water and climate resilience outcomes from 2011 to 2019, giving an overview of changes that have improved livelihoods and made communities more climate resilient.
in the Southeast Asia Region, a story 'Mobilising communities to manage floods in north-western Thailand' is told as part of the other 9 stories of the successful implementation of WACDEP (page 10). Through the WACDEP programme, Thailand Water Partnership mobilised local governments to share knowledge with communities. The region has a flood early warning system that helps communities to plan ahead and protect themselves.
Developing Community Resilience in Living with Floods
Around 10% of the land area of Malaysia is flood-prone. This puts a potential 5.5 million people at risk of damage to their lives, property, and livelihoods. With climate change likely to increase the frequency of extreme rainfall, preparation is the key. To improve capacity for flood preparedness, in 2019 GWP Malaysia and partners hosted a demonstration project and stakeholder event on integrated flood management. The objectives included educating government agencies, raising awareness among local communities by introducing hazard mapping, and strengthening networks and platforms to share knowledge and information. With a key focus on community empowerment in preparation and response to flooding events, the initiative is well placed to catalyse change, and will be replicated in additional areas in the future.

Rotarians raise thousands for Brain Tumour Research
The Rotary Club of Cotswold Tyndale has raised thousands of pounds for the pioneering charity Brain Tumour Research in memory of the club president's son.
John Stanton, 70, from Berkeley in Gloucestershire, president of the club for 2016/17, chose Brain Tumour Research as the club's Charity of the Year, after losing his son Alan to an aggressive brain tumour in 2015. Alan was just 30 years old and left his wife Lucy and five-month-old son Joshua.
The club raised nearly £6,000 through hosting a number of fundraising events over the last year, which included a Valentine's Day dance, frog racing and a charity golf match. All funds raised will go towards vital research to find more effective treatments, and ultimately, a cure for brain tumours.
John said: "Alan was a wonderful son, father and friend and always remained upbeat and positive that he would beat the tumour. It's a sad fact that brain tumours can affect anyone at any time but no-one knows what causes them.
"Raising money for such a worthy charity will hopefully increase awareness of this awful disease and draw attention to the vital research that needs to be conducted to find a cure. I'm just grateful Alan got to spend time with his son before his life was cut short."
Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer but just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease.
Carol Robertson, Community Fundraising Manager for Brain Tumour Research said: "For too long, brain tumours have been a neglected cancer. Stories like Alan's are heart-breaking and we are extremely grateful to John his wife Jean and the club for raising such vital funds to help us find a cure."

Brain Tumour Research is the only national charity in the UK focused on funding sustainable research to find a cure for brain tumours. We are building a game-changing network of world-class Research Centres of Excellence in the UK. Embracing passionate member charities nationwide, £5.5 million was raised towards research and support during 2016.
We are campaigning to see the national spend on research into brain tumours increased to £30 - £35 million a year, in line with breast cancer and leukaemia. The charity is celebrating a year of high-profile campaigning on this issue following the unprecedented success of its petition in 2016. Following that, Brain Tumour Research is now taking a leading role in the Government's Task and Finish Working Group convened to tackle the historic underfunding for research.
Incidences of, and deaths from, brain tumours are increasing.


"Ever since the new government took control, it feels as though Japan is filled with the spirit for economic revival", said Toyota's senior managing officer, Takehiko Ijichi, last week, as he announced the carmaker's first profit in five years.
Takehiko Nakao, the top currency official at Japan's finance ministry, said: "Last year all the focus was on the euro and the fiscal cliff. Now Japan's successful economic policies are receiving all the attention."
growing confidence in every area.
Even trade with China, Japan's biggest trading partner, is improving, after a boycott of Japanese products last year. On Friday, Chinese customs figures showed that imports from Japan rose by 15.4 per cent in January, for the first time in six months.
Most economic analysts believe that Japan probably exited recession in the already bottomed out and is showing a recovery", said Tatsushi Shikano, senior economist at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities.
Perhaps the most significant trend of all is that wages are showing signs of rising. One of the country's biggest convenience store chains, Lawson, said last week that it would raise salaries by a deflation-busting 3 per cent.
Jesper Koll, head of Japan equity research for JP Morgan, said: "Japan is running out of labour, so businesses now need to breed loyalty among their staff. Watch for wage inflation to generate a real feel good factor in Japan."
David Fuller's view The article also points out that the "hard part will be deregulating the energy, healthcare and agriculture sectors." Sure, and agricultural reform, long resisted in Japan, will face opposition within Mr Abe's own party. Nevertheless, he has most of the public behind him because people can sense the positive change.
Japan remains the most interesting major market opportunity that I have seen for a long time (historic monthly, weekly & daily). The recent sharp reaction, albeit to scale, has created another buying opportunity.

While this was meant to be the culmination of Obama's pivot to Asia foreign policy strategy, he was unable to push this over the line prior to his exit. At one point it had seemed that the TPP was on track to sail by Congress and roar into the station, but it appears to have finally been derailed with the appearance of the Trump Train.
As a general rule trade partnerships like the one proposed TPP spend a lot of real estate of the agreement hammering out regulatory compliance. Some of these regulations are protectionist in nature and act to add barriers to new competitors entering the market and others are just feel good regulations designed to increase environmental protections. As reported in the National Review, a key provision of TPP had called "…for the incorporation – sight unseen – of whatever global-warming deal is negotiated at the conference currently under way in Paris." Now of course many of these provisions were negotiated months in advance and had this moved forward it would have bound the US to whatever lunacy came out of that conference if it wanted to avoid violating this agreement. While the US has already signed onto the Paris Climate Agreement, moving forward with TPP would be yet another binding cord should the US Policy shift and want to pull out of the Paris Climate Agreement.
Of course the Paris Climate Agreement was not the only regulatory agreement as TPP also sought to add other environmental and labor protections. While I generally can agree that trade agreements need to address these issues, wide ranging trade agreements like TPP usually try to fit each country involved into a narrowly defined box. The restrictive nature of these agreement will ultimately be a cause for conflicts between members and this then becomes an issue of Sovereignty the US. As The New American wrote, agreements like this always call for a form of "…conflict resolution tribunals (courts) that claim the authority to overrule national, state, and local laws, as well as national and state courts and national and state constitutions." These type of agreements allow outside influences to become the law of the land by binding the US to any final arbitration decision made within that body regardless of how our courts rules or laws made by Congress.
My last issue with TPP and other massive trade deals that are hammered out in this fashion is that the US loses much of its relative bargaining power. It is very seductive to argue that hammering out a free trade deal with 12 different nations at once is a great thing. The issue is that you are negotiating with each of those 12 different nations simultaneously. If 3 or 4 of those nations all call for a specific provision that is not in the best interest of the US, it is much harder to push back on that specific provision if you want to move forward with the rest of the trade deal. If however, you are negotiating with each country individually, the US would have much better leverage to push back against the specific provision depending on the country. Additionally, when accepting that provision via a massive trade agreement, we also bind that provision as effective and enforceable by all members of that agreement instead of the 2 or 3 trading relationships where this may have been the case had the US negotiated each of those trade agreements separately.


Yesterday, while I was having the tires changed on my car, I had to borrow one to get me around. I took this opportunity to borrow the newest version of the car I currently have and experience the differences – like trying an iPhone 6S when you are used to an iPhone 6 – even though the look identical. When I first took this brand new car for a drive, I wasn't overwhelmed. Sure the technology was newer and better and they have surely been working to catch up with the user experience of forefront brands like Tesla. It was good, but it wasn't a totally new experience.
This got me thinking about how we experience much of the same phenomenon with technology and websites. It's often not the initial experience that's the one we remember, but rather the bad experience that truly makes us cherish the great one! My iPhone 7+ felt pretty large when I got it but it wasn't something out of the ordinary. Now, when I pickup a normal sized iPhone, it feels so tiny! We don't think about the ease of TouchID until we have an experience where it doesn't work (or worse, isn't available!).
So while first impressions do last, perhaps we don't always truly benefit from them until we've put them into perspective?


First, the presentation addresses the historical patterns of manufacturing development in the economy and within manufacturing sector. While an inverted-U shape of manufacturing contribution to GDP along income levels has been documented well in the past, the intra-sectoral pattern of structural change with potentially greater policy implications has been studied less. Thus, I will particularly focus on the patterns of manufacturing development at sub-sector level by different country characteristics and illustrate how they have changed over time. These patterns of manufacturing as whole and sub-sectors show some indications of the diminishing importance of manufacturing in economic development. In relation to recent debates on premature deindustrialization and declining role of manufacturing in economic development, my second point in the presentation will touch on whether the importance of manufacturing in economic development has changed in recent years in terms of value added and employment.

The buzz at the 2018 World Cup has cranked up a notch as today sees the start of the nail-biting knock-out stages. Who will emerge victorious? Will we witness a nerve-racking penalty shoot-out? It's all to play for and to kick us off are two football powerhouses, France and Argentina.
France finished top of their group but they have yet to show us the full potential of the individual talent in the squad. Their group games petered out with a rather boring 0-0 against Denmark. Not one that will live long in the memory.
Argentina finished second in their group. Just. They drew with Iceland and were hammered by Croatia but thanks to a bit of Messi magic were able to scrape a win against Nigeria in their final game to secure a place in the last 16. Shows that even with one of the world's best players, you still need a team that works together.
Dr Chavrier and his team at Institute Curie, Paris, France, are trying to work out how breast cancer cells are able to spread away from the breast tissue and travel to other parts of the body. "We believe that this work will help inform development of future breast cancer treatments, and will ultimately help breast cancer patients" says Dr Chavrier.
Dr Laderach is leading a team at IQUIBICEN-CONICET in Argentina to pursue an entirely new way to fight cancer using the patient's own immune system. Their potentially game-changing idea involves stimulating the immune system to target a specific molecule found in abundance on the outside of cancer cells, whilst simultaneously kick-starting cells of the immune system to recognise and attack cancer cells.

MVRDV (141 articles)
MVRDV was founded in 1993 by winy maas, jacob van rijs and nathalie de vries in rotterdam, the netherlands. the practice engages globally in providing solutions to contemporary architectural and urban issues. a highly collaborative, research-based design method involves clients, stakeholders and experts from a wide range of fields from early on in the creative process. the results are exemplary, outspoken projects, which enable our cities and landscapes to develop towards a better future.
current projects include a variety of housing projects in the netherlands, france, china, india, and other countries; a community centre in copenhagen and a cultural complex in roskilde, denmark, a public art depot in rotterdam, the transformation of a mixed use building in central paris, an office complex in shanghai, and a commercial centre in beijing, and the renovation of an office building in hong kong. MVRDV is also working on large scale urban masterplans in bordeaux and caen, france and the masterplan for an eco-city in logroño, spain. larger scale visions for the future of greater paris, greater oslo, and the doubling in size of the dutch new town almere are also in development.

MVRDV, together with nan hai development, unveils its proposal for the taipei twin towers to revitalise the central station area of taipei. the design of the towers is characterized by a 'pile of blocks' that generates a vertical urban neighborhood. each box serves as a visual expression of its program through an array of interactive media façades. the project is designed as a 'times square for taiwan,' offering a vibrant and charismatic destination that re-establishes the central station area of taipei as the city's premier location for retail, working, and tourism.

the site of the proposed MVRDV taipei twin towers project is currently occupied by the city's main station. to be developed by nan hai corporation, this hub services the city's railway, airport lines, and metro networks, the new buildings will be constructed over the existing station. a number of pre-existing plazas will meanwhile be unified and redeveloped. MVRDV's proposal is developed as a combination of two contextual scales — the tower and the smaller fabric building blocks. the main visual impact, experienced directly from the street, will be provided by a cluster of small blocks which make up the tower bases. while these piled volumes each host a retail space, their distinct identities are expressed on their illuminated façade.
above, larger blocks complete two towers reaching 337 meters and 280 meters and make up the dominant image of the buildings when seen from afar. these larger blocks house offices, cinemas, and two hotels: one targeted at younger, more trendy travelers within the east tower and the other focusing on the luxury market in the west tower. at ground level, the design proposes a sunken plaza, with an array of public interventions influenced by the history of the site. structures marking the former locations of the original station will transform the area into an 'archaeological study,' exhibiting the city's heritage.
the organization of the retail blocks creates centralized public atriums which allow for a system of passive ventilation. exterior pathways and escalators link rooftop terraces and provide alternative access to the stores. this leads to a unique vertical shopping experience that encourages exploration.
an elevated walkway connecting the station will become the spine of the project. MVRDV is exploring two variations of this element — one with a straight trajectory through the site, or another that follows the perimeter clustered blocks, linking with the larger network of escalators and walkways.

Classical Greek thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates believed and practiced the concept of mens sana in corpora sano. Consequently, they followed a regimen of both mental and physical training. These famed philosophers, regularly attended a 'gymnasium' and supported and attended the Olympic Games.
The competitions originally included just a 100 meters race, javelin and disc throws but after 13 Olympiads two more races joined the stade as Olympic events: the diaulos (roughly equal to today's 400-meter race), and the dolichos (1,500-meter or 5,000-meter event). The pentathlon (a foot race, a long jump, discus and javelin throws and a wrestling match) was introduced in 708 B.C., boxing in 688 B.C. and chariot racing in 680 B.C. In 648 B.C., pankration, a combination of boxing and wrestling debuted as an Olympic event. Founded by Hercules, Olympic Games were not only revered and followed but dedicated to Zeus, the God of Gods.
By 393 A.D. Roman Emperor Theodosius brought the competitions to an end when he evicted pagan traditions from Rome, recently converted into Christianity.
When Baron Pierre de Coubertin relaunched the Olympic Games in 1896 in Athens, the competition was surrounded by allure and great expectations as to their role in enhancing understanding among nations. And to a certain degree they delivered at least until the end of the past century when the International Olympic Committee (IOC) entered the world of broadcasting rights for diverse distribution platforms and real estate developers managed to convince emerging market leaders that the hosting exercise could be a launching board to development.
Broadcasting rights represent such an important stream of revenue for the IOC that the games are subject to all kinds of procedural pressures so that they comply with the reality show approach to everything reigning supreme in world television.
Developers, on their part depicted the hosting of Olympiads as the sure path to enter first world status.
Given that broadcasting rights have made winning athletes instant super stars who can enter the world of seven figure salaries, they create incentives to doping.
With the privilege of hosting however comes responsibilities. Investments in facilities for the games is expensive and needs to be in place in a short time frame thereby eliminating any possibility of saving on inputs, work force, designs or equipment.
Given that most developing nations have yet to install rule of law in their territories, corruption runs rife while ordinary citizens suffer revenue reassignment away from health care and education and into sports facilities construction.
In the end, income streams attributable to tourist inflows into the host country are much lower than the debt incurred to develop facilities.
Even worse is the negative impact on the population resulting from neglect of fundamental public services in favor of building what after the Olympic Games becomes a ghost town.
Also expensive, slapdash construction projects like arenas and pavilions give rise to human-rights abuse. Doha, host to the 2022 FIFA World Cup, has come under intense international criticism for reported human-rights violations committed in the rapid build-up, as hundreds of guest workers have died constructing the World Cup stadium in Qatar.
In another instance, Azerbaijan hosted the 2015 European Games and the government used opposition to the games as a excuse to crack down on all opposition and independent journalists.
But all these drawbacks have not stained the image of the Olympic Games as a promoter of economic development and political understanding.
This magnetism however is about to come to an end in Rio de Janeiro.
Rio will not only host the Olympiads in the middle of economic and political turmoil but also on the tails of the outburst of a frightening disease: The Zika Virus.
Reports have it that facilities are not and will most probably not be ready for occupancy.
Costs have skyrocketed out of control reaching 2000% in the case of transportation to 800% in the case of the Olympic Village.
With the accessibility to information that prevails in our world and the myriad distribution platforms so far, the Rio encounter has been portrayed as a disaster.
And while the presence of athletes from all over the world competing in all kinds of sports will fill the city with joy, when the farewell ceremony takes place, Brazilians will be left with hefty debts and political upheaval springing form the people's discontent with the divertion of scarce resources to fund a party for foreigners.


Each Red Valentino collection addresses a different fairy tale, and it's clear that Fall was inspired by Snow White. Marine Deleeuw played the lead role in the latest lookbook, shot against a Lichtenstein-esque Pop Art backdrop, modeling whimsical clutches that read "Once Upon a Time" or "The Fairest of Them All." There were also sweet frocks splashed with the Disney character's visage and intarsia knits featuring allover hearts or the fable's poisoned apple. While the finished result was indeed cutesy (and occasionally a tad costume-ish), designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli viewed the narrative mostly as a jumping-off point. "We didn't want the story to stay in a childish territory, but to take the dreamy idea in a direction that's younger, more street, and a bit rock 'n' roll," they explained during a phone interview, so there were plenty of modern incarnations of Snow White here. For example, she looked cool in a clear PVC trench, and had a bit of a grunge edge in a leather biker jacket, long jacquard skirt, and flat oxfords. Meanwhile, there were also plenty of functional pieces such as bright puffer coats, denim rompers, and plaid mohair bombers that were sidewalk-ready. And despite the cartoony delivery (you can't really blame the designers for going all-out on a fun theme like this), the lineup ultimately had plenty of real-world appeal, too.

On the Campaign Trail: Parker and Verni Going Toe-to-Toe for County Legislator
by admin November 4, 2013 0 comment
On the eve of Election Day, we share a few final statements from the two candidates for County Legislator, District 7, which includes Rye, Mamaroneck, Larchmont, and parts of Harrison and New Rochelle. Catherine Parker (D) and John Verni (R) have expressed a strong commitment to increase flood mitigation measures and are in favor of a regional stormwater district. They agree that Westchester's high taxes are an impediment to sustainable growth.
Verni's consistent campaign message is: "Taxes are too high, County government is too big. We need to ensure that we provide County government at a price people can afford."
In her closing statement at the League of Women Voters forum in Harrison last month, Parker said: "I believe passionately in serving the Sound Shore communities and making them better places to live. I will be an active and dedicated legislator who will work in an inclusive way to get things done."
Parker says the County has lost some opportunities on flood mitigation and some ground on its public transit system. She'd like to take a new look at transportation, starting with a smaller hybrid bus fleet.
Verni would like to see more shared services to cut costs, improve efficiency, and to get more municipalities working together. "There has to be a better competitive bidding process in place to achieve those savings."
Both Parker and Verni are "deeply invested" in Westchester as business owners. Parker opened an eponymous travel and lifestyle store in downtown Rye 17 years ago. Verni, a land-use attorney whose family-owned real estate company specializes in the redevelopment of old buildings, recently restored the Mamaroneck Train Station. It is now a mixed-use space, which contains the Club Car restaurant and offices.
The candidates have longstanding volunteer records. Verni has served on the board of Habitat for Humanity of Westchester for 26 years. He's chairman of the board of Iona Preparatory School. He's also a board member and training officer of the New Rochelle Youth Court. Verni led community opposition to the IKEA project in New Rochelle and is currently involved in the effort to save the historic New Rochelle Naval Armory. A longtime resident of New Rochelle, he and his wife, Katrina now live in Mamaroneck. They have four children.
Parker, who was elected to the Rye City Council in 2007 and is now halfway through her second term, revived the Rye Chamber of Commerce and helped bring a younger voice to the League of Women Voters of Rye, Rye Brook & Port Chester. She has served as past president of both organizations, as well as the Rye Arts Center. She took the lead on the City Council to hire a commercial real estate broker to list 1037 Boston Post and not sell it to the first bidder, a move that increased the City's fund balance by close to $2 million. She and her husband, David Walker, have two school-age children.
Verni, 51, is running on the Republican, Conservative, Independence, and Green Party lines. He has the endorsement of County Executive Rob Astorino, Mamaroneck Mayor Norman Rosenblum, and Harrison Mayor Ron Belmont.
Parker, 47, who is an independent running on the Democratic line, has the endorsement of retiring County Legislator Judy Myers, New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson, who is running for County Executive, State Senator George Latimer, and Assemblyman Steve Otis.

Dreamt that Google had decided to become a biotech company, and I was assigned to "think of something interesting and do it." I ended up working on sunflowers with a couple of other people; it was pretty neat. Even better was the brawl later on when some woman decided to start spraying everyone in the area with ham extract – I missed most of the melee, since by the time I got there the cops were carting people off, but a good, somewhat violent time was had by all.
Yes, this is odd. On top of this, I seem to have woken up with a pagan/Christian fusion song stuck in my head – "Magna Mater Dolorosa." Not sure where that came from.
*LOL* Spraying people with ham extract? Sweetie, what did you eat last night?
The question is: Can anyone think of good lyrics to follow "Magna Mater dolorosa, iuxta Roma lachrymosa…"?
The thing is, I'm suddenly glad I don't know Latin, otherwise I'd be spending the next few hours trying to figure that out.
