10 strategies in the book will be my reference point when I am in difficult situation of not knowing how to say no.
By mistake, I bought Kindle version and need the hard copy of the book - The Art Of Saying NO.
This is simple book about providing key insights into psychology of prioritising your work in times of chaos and saying no to most of nonproductive works.
Due inbuild tendency to avoid conflict and outraging others, we tend to say yes at points when we must say clear "no".
Book enlists why we fail to say no and how we can overcome this weakness.
It also depicts hiw to say "no" in a manner that is not offending as well as acts as a booster to your own self image and acts as timesaver.
Book is written in simple language and there are no jargons or magical tips. But there is a lots of repetition of ideas in different forms.
That mekes the book little overstretched.
4.0 out of 5 starsWELL WRITTEN..
In a social world & a closely knit Indian society perhaps this is the most difficult self-help book to implement. But Damon breezes the steps with utmost precision & ease. It is not a mere coincidence that prompted me to pick this one but a deliberate attempt to ward off people that take undue advantage & a fair slice of your precious time. If somebody asks for a few minutes of your time it certainly does not take long to convert those minutes into hours without your realization. When we consent to other people's requests & put it over our own priorities it cannot be reclaimed. Well thought out book that is unmissable.
It's really wonderful to read. I thought of just having a glance at the Book. But after starting to read I could not avoid this book content..
Really practical steps to say no..
The book is a must read for all age groups as the author has meticulously covered all possible situations with all possible situations encountered in daily walks of life.
Good examples have been narrated for various exigencies.
However more such examples for various situations would have added feathers to the author's ability to pen such a useful book.
Go for this book topic wise and only read for the section where you really need to work on.
Overall sets a negative environment is what I feel, like there are situations mentioned where an impulse could be "NO" but if thought upon could be worth giving a try.
This book showed us how our life can be manipulative with the use of only two words 'Yes' or 'No'. These words are light as feathers but strong enough to tear our life apart but if used carefully then it will be easier for us to take our decisions. I would recommend everyone to read this book.
Indeed a very useful and helpful book. This can surely be a life changer if you put a little effort in reading this book and implementing its suggestions in your day to day life.

You can tune in to the live blog here. There's been a tremendous buildup of attention and hype for the Galaxy S4, the latest in Samsung's blockbuster Galaxy S franchise. In the Galaxy S, Samsung has a smartphone brand that rivals Apple's iPhone in popularity and demand. Though the invitation doesn't specifically refer to the Galaxy S4, CNET has confirmed that the event will feature the device. The Galaxy S3, which Samsung managed to get on virtually every major wireless carrier in the world, was one of the few breakout hits of 2012, and CNET named it the product of the year, topping Apple's iPhone 5. Samsung has been on a strong run, powered by the success of the Galaxy S3, as well as its broader lineup of handsets.
CNET también está disponible en español, Don't show this again, Verizon Wireless spokesman Jeff Nelson said the Bedminster, N.J., company has signed deals with 19 companies to develop entertainment for BREW phones, He said the phones should debut by the end of this year, BREW phones are now sold by Korean carrier KT Freetel, but have yet to debut in North America, Java phones have been sold by Nextel Communications since last April, and Nokia said shape study #14 - stackable collection iphone case it would be making more than 100 million Java phones during the next few years..
LG, meanwhile, is expected to release a smartwatch similar to its LG Watch Urbane LTE , which the company showed off in March. The Urbane LTE ran on software called WebOS, which LG purchased from Hewlett-Packard to use on its own products; the new version will run on Android Wear. Huawei debuted its first smartwatch -- a device designed to look as much as possible like a classical round-face timepiece -- at the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona earlier this year. And Asus is expected to give more details about the ZenWatch 2, which made its debut in June at the Computex trade show in Taiwan. The company hasn't shared many details about the device.
Those tweets and Facebook posts that get retweeted and liked gazillions of times will now make it to Bing News' homepage, In addition to the social media feature, Bing also redesigned its News page to showcase more headlines and trending topics from all over the Internet, "At the top of the Bing News page, you can easily browse the latest headlines with the news carousel showcasing the latest trending topics in categories including US, world, local, entertainment, sports, politics, and more," Bing wrote, "If you search for a celebrity or politician who shape study #14 - stackable collection iphone case is making headlines, the recent news topics about that person will also be showcased in the carousel."Bing also created an adaptive design for any type of device, This means it doesn't matter if a user is looking at Bing News on a tablet, smartphone, or computer, the browser will automatically re-shape for the device..
Apple arrived at the $380 million amount based on lost profits of about $114 million, Samsung's profits of about $231 million, and reasonable royalties of approximately $35 million. Apple estimates it would have sold 360,000 devices if Samsung hadn't released infringing rivals. Samsung, meanwhile, said Apple shouldn't receive any money for lost profits, $52.7 million for Samsung's profits, and royalties of only $28,452 because the patents have limitations. Apple originally filed suit against Samsung in April 2011, accusing the Korean company of copying the look and feel of its products. Samsung countersued two months later over patent infringement and said it was at work on touch-screen phones with giant rectangular screens and rounded corners well before Apple showed up. The initial trial, which stretched more than three weeks in August 2012, wrapped both of those cases in one, somehow squeezing together the patent infringement issues, alongside antitrust claims, and even trade dress issues.

Malaysian fashion critic Zaihani Mohd Zain has been met with outrage after suggesting people weighing more than 60kg (that's 9.4 stone) should not be allowed to attend fashion shows.
The stylist and image consultant, who is well-known in Malaysia's fashion circles, made the comments in a Facebook post which has now been deleted.
Zain's comments have been met with uproar from fashion lovers and industry names, with many saying her comments are 'fat-shaming'.
Kuala Lumpur-based fashion designer Datuk Tom Abang Saufi shared her disgust at the comments, posting a telling montage of industry heavyweights sitting side-by-side with fellow guests of all shapes and sizes.
In a world of growing inclusivity (particularly in fashion) it's crazy to think views like this still exist.
Since the backlash, Zain has apologised for her comments.
The critic also claimed her comments were simply meant to air her frustration at a guest beside her who was 'manspreading'.
"He was actually manspreading throughout the evening and that action had made me uncomfortable when his leg was brushing against mine during the show," she said in a news report.


Repair leaking rivets, cracks, and seams on aluminum boats. This 2-part epoxy adhesive sealer comes in a convenient cartridge with a mixing tip that dispenses the exact 1:1 ratio with no measuring, mixing, or mess. Cured resin flexes to prevent recurring leaks. Works on properly prepared aluminum surfaces.
Two-part formula is automatically measured and dispensed at the proper ratio. Static mixing tips are included and ensure proper mix in a controlled bead of material. Leak Sealer can also be mixed manually.
Even if you don't jump beaver dams in your aluminum boat, normal wear and tear can eventually cause loose rivets and seams to leak. Or maybe the leaks were a gift from the boat's previous owner. Other repair products usually require the entire hull to be coated, and they can shrink and crack, or fail because they don't tolerate the hull flexing. At TotalBoat, we worked long and hard to come up with a faster, easier to use, more reliable fix for these common problems. If you suffer the double discomforts of constant bailing and wet feet, TotalBoat Aluminum Boat Leak Sealer has the long working time and fast cure for what ails you and your aluminum hull.
There's no mixing or measuring because the resin and hardener come in a single cartridge that fits any standard caulk gun. Just attach the included mixing tip and squeeze the handle on the gun to apply. It's that easy, and you'll really like the fact that Aluminum Boat Leak Sealer is sag resistant so you don't have to tip the boat at odd angles to keep the sealer from dripping out. Even better, you can apply it in less than ideal conditions, even in temperatures as low as 40°F. Just be sure to store the cartridge at 60-90°F when you're not using it.
When you're finished, cleanup is easy, too—just leave the mixing tip on the cartridge and let it cure. Next time you need to use Leak Sealer, just twist off the old tip and replace it with a new one. After applying, wait 7-10 hours before sanding or painting. Then turn your old bailer into a bait bucket and get back on the water.
Size: Available in a 250 ml. cartridge that fits most standard caulk guns (sold separately). Includes 2 static mixing tips. Additional mixing tips are available, if needed.
Note: If UV protection is needed, an appropriate coating must be applied over the properly cured Aluminum Boat Leak Sealer.
Safety information: When handling and working with this product, please use gloves, eye protection, and clothing protection. Avoid contact to skin and eyes, and use outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
IMPORTANT: TotalBoat Aluminum Boat Leak Sealer is not designed as an emergency repair product. For waterproof emergency repairs, use TotalBoat Underwater Repair Epoxy.

Hugh Jackman Reaffirms the Wolverine Timeline for Deadpool 3
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - OCTOBER 24: (L-R) Laura Dern and Hugh Jackman attend Sony Pictures Classics & Cinema Society's "The Son" New York screening at Crosby Street Hotel on October 24, 2022 in New York City. (Photo by Arturo Holmes/Getty Images)
Hugh Jackman outlines the Wolverine timeline for Deadpool 3 and how it links to Logan ahead of the start of shooting on Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds' forthcoming Marvel Studios feature. Jackman said goodbye to the X-Men franchise on Fox with James Mangold's Logan. However, Disney's 2019 acquisition of 20th Century Fox resulted in a resurgence of interest in seeing the actor reprise the role in the MCU because Marvel Studios now has creative control over the X-Men, Fantastic Four, and all of their tie-in characters that Fox had previously owned.Despite the ongoing attention, Jackman steadfastly insisted that he was done portraying the character. Given how brilliantly Logan wrote off the iconic mutant as he died defending X-23/Laura, this seemed natural.
Jackman stayed true to his stance on the issue until August 2022, when he revealed that In Deadpool 3, he would return as Wolverine. There are also questions about how Wolverine's anticipated MCU entrance will affect the events in Logan, particularly whether it will stop the mutant from dying. But in a current interview with The Empire Film Podcast, Jackman describes the Wolverine period in Deadpool 3 to successfully address the conundrum. Here is the full quote he gave.
What to Expect From Wolverine In Deadpool 3
The eagerly awaited MCU movie, directed by Shawn Levy, will debut in November 2024. Deadpool 3's specific story points are still well-guarded secrets. Jackman has revealed bits of information indicating what his character will be like in the threequel, even though neither the performers nor anybody else engaged in the film can discuss spoilers. He disclosed that in Deadpool 3, Wolverine will be more enraged than ever. The Adamantium-clawed may be grumpier since he is forced to work with Deadpool, which is potentially quite aggravating, although he didn't get into that in his explanation.

In a separate interview, Levy hinted at Wolverine's presence in Deadpool 3, praising Reynolds and Jackman's outstanding connection. It leads to fresh ideas for the film's script, which, according to him, would be entertaining for the public to see when the film is finally released. It is quite thrilling to hear Levy and Jackman's updates on their collaboration, which has taken years to develop. Given their previous performances, there is already no doubt that both actors will excel in their parts, but watching them work together might result in something truly exceptional.
The decision by Levy, Reynolds, and Marvel Studios to set Deadpool 3 before the events of Logan makes sense, given how well-liked and lauded it is. Given that the future threequel has already been announced to feature time travel, perhaps Wolverine's encounter with the Merc-With-A-Mouth can even describe some of the decisions he made in his final movie. Finally, it's wonderful to read that the Deadpool 3 team chatted with Mangold behind the scenes about how they will use Wolverine in the film in light of his work on Logan.

Who are the Vietnamese in 2005?
Sophie Quinn-Judge
Vietnam today is balanced between the old collectivist traditions of east Asia and the borderless world of global culture and cyberspace. Vietnamese identity is perhaps more than ever linked to language and its poetry, as opposed to political affiliations. The thirtieth anniversary of the end of the "Republic of Vietnam" (the separate South Vietnamese state) sees diehard members of the pre-1975 Saigon military and civil service demonstrating in Washington DC, to commemorate what is for them a day of national sorrow.
But a younger generation of Vietnamese Americans – part of Vietnam's new, global, virtual, imagined community – is increasingly returning to a country they barely remember, or never knew, to study the language and explore their roots.
At the same time, Vietnamese intellectuals within the country are looking for ways to transcend their arid cultural climate, which gives writers freedom to write about whatever they like – as long as it is not politics. Many Vietnamese abroad claim that the most popular Vietnamese journal of culture is a website based in Germany, with the mongrel title "Ta la was? " – a mixture of Vietnamese and German meaning "What are we?"
Talawas is a forum for ideas and opinion for Vietnamese from all over the world, even though it is sometimes firewalled in Vietnam. It is run by a prize-winning writer, Pham Thi Hoai, who studied in the German Democratic Republic in the 1980s, when a brief period of intellectual openness in Vietnam (under the doi moi reforms) coincided with the Gorbachev reform period that presaged the end of communism in east-central Europe. She says that in the rural district of North Vietnam where she grew up, as of 2004 there was no longer a single shop selling books and newspapers, or a library where anything other than the works of former ideologues could be found. Official, subsidised culture had melted away, with little to take its place.
Cyberspace seems to be the one place where Vietnamese have successfully achieved reconciliation, thirty years after the collapse of South Vietnam – the provisional and (as it proved) temporary state created by the 1954 Geneva Conference, which split Vietnam at the 17th parallel following the collapse of French colonial rule and the desire of the west's great powers to hold the line against communism.
Today, historical revisionists are taking a crack at refurbishing the image of this semi-colonial entity, mainly by pointing out that it offered a legitimate alternative to repressive, communist North Vietnam. But try as one might, it is extremely difficult to find real evidence that this creation could have survived, given the American insistence that it avoid reconciliation with the communists, including those living on its own territory. Other historians point out that the north was shaped by the policies of Chinese and Soviet advisers, after both France and the United States refused to recognise the state governed by Ho Chi Minh.
The fact is that North and South Vietnam were each formed by the cold war. The competing ideologies that were once their raison d'etre are now both anachronisms, and it is likely that – eventually – the remaining supporters of both extremes will realise this. Class struggle, purification campaigns, communist elimination campaigns and the Phoenix Program are all now safely in the past – even if, like the Agent Orange victims and other legatees of the catastrophic violence of thirty years of war after 1945, the wounds are in many cases still raw and issues of justice and historical accounting unresolved.
What are we now?
Meanwhile, the diaspora created when the communists moved into Saigon on 30 April 1975 is now glittering with business and professional achievers, as well as increasing numbers of writers, filmmakers and other creative people. It is in this country of the arts that Vietnamese of all political and geographical backgrounds are meeting today as equals. These international Vietnamese may be far from the realities of the densely populated deltas and coastal plain of their homeland, but without question they will have a role in defining the Vietnamese identity of the future.
They are engaged in what might be considered a replay of the search for a "new culture", which gripped east Asian elites in the late 19th century, and gathered force after their disappointment with the peace settlement that ended the great war of 1914-18. Those early modernisers, who included Ho Chi Minh, rejected Confucian patriarchy and stagnation at all levels of society. The freeing of women and the poor from superstition and rigid social hierarchies was a key element of their prescription for change. This search for cultural liberation, which strongly influenced the early communist movement, changed its focus in the 1930s to the struggle against imperialism and the evil influences of the west.
By the time that the Vietnamese had discarded their communist economic policies in the early 1990s, their culture was becoming a mix of communist Confucianism, requiring strict allegiance to the party, freewheeling capitalism, nationalism and reviving traditions of folk Buddhism, Taoism and ancestor-worship.
In 2005 a Vietnamese-American writer and poet, Linh Dinh, has said he wants to move beyond politics to look at fundamental problems of his society. One of these is the problem of domestic servants, which he has written a series of poems about. In a Vietnam where social inequality is growing, he believes that wealthier urban people are abusing the poor immigrants from the countryside who come to work for them.
Born in Saigon in 1963 and completely bilingual, Linh Dinh has translated into English one of the classic stories of post-war Vietnam: The General Retires , by Nguyen Huy Thiep. This story explores the conflicts in one northern family, caught in a status-conscious world where the amount of food served at a funeral absorbs more attention than human affection, for the dead or the living.
Another young Vietnamese-American artist is filmmaker Victor Vu. His film First Morning is a searing account of a refugee family's tragedy, caused in part by their flight from communism, but also by the father's infidelity to his wife and the parents' inability to deal with their daughter's psychological problems. It is a beautifully filmed dissection of social problems that goes beyond the political to their cultural roots. The best-selling memoir by Andrew Pham, Catfish and Mandala, is yet another example of this trend towards self-examination: the habitual violence practiced by the males in his family becomes the heart of his story, not the sense of a lost homeland.
Vietnam itself is experiencing a void of belief, left by the long war and the fading away of communism, which these artists are investigating, even as they examine their own traumas. The government's invitation to long-exiled monk, the Zen Buddhist Thich Nhat Hanh, to return for three months in early 2005 to preach and lecture in all parts of Vietnam, is a recognition that the end of communist idealism has left a gap to be filled. His lectures on love, anger and mindfulness address issues left unexplained by nationalism and Confucianism, two of the traditional "isms" which on an official level can fill in for Marxist dialectical materialism.
Could this opening to modern Buddhism be a self-conscious echo of the 11th-century Ly dynasty, when Vietnam was consolidating its newly-won independence from Chinese rule? At that time Buddhist monks served the rulers as advisers and purveyors of culture from other parts of the world. Nowadays foreign culture is banging at the doors and Vietnam has its own diaspora and students all over the world, bringing back experiences and new ideas that are becoming part of the complex, febrile texture of Vietnamese national life.
Clearly the government in Hanoi fears uncontrolled change, and needs some credible moral force to mediate it. Vietnam has a tradition of absorbing new influences and making them its own – from Confucianism to French bread, from military technology to soccer. So one can imagine a time when the fertile and dynamic intellectual exchange of the virtual Vietnamese community is embraced in Hanoi. When it is, a new phase in the Vietnamese people's 2,000-year history will begin, and the legacy of 30 April 1975 will have finally been overcome.

When it comes to videos, factual, statistical or economical videos typically don't go viral. Usually the most human videos tend to go viral more than any other type of video. Remember the singing homeless man that looked like President Obama? Or how about the Harlem Shake Videos that had large groups of people doing crazy things while being dressed in costumes? "Be Human" means to have fun, be endearing and embrace the attitude of oneness of all. While it can be said, "Everyone is different" we all share the commonality of being human by nature.
The more emotions you can muster-up in your audience, the better.
Take for example, the "Charlie Bit my Finger" viral video. The video features a baby whose brother bit his finger; he sits there laughing and complaining at the same time. This video has an astounding 530 million views at the time of this writing. That's more than the entire population of the United States! One of the main reasons this video took off so strongly is because of how relate-able the emotions were in the video. You as the viewer could "follow along" with the little boy and the baby's emotions. Strong emotions that are identifiable among all humans are essential to viral awareness.
Another type of content that does really well are videos that are informational and touch a large segment of the population. The key here is that the videos really have to provide content that can't be found anywhere else.
Take for example, the "Inequality in America" video. The video is a well put together mix of stats and facts that most people are unaware of and that is what makes it unique. Unique informational videos work so stay focused on bringing something new and refreshing to the viewers.
Video content for specific groups can have great appeal factors too. If your content has emotional ties and is niche oriented you can do very well capturing a large audience. There are many different types of hobbies, lifestyles and other niches that people are craving more information about. If you happen to be involved with a unique pass-time, why not create video content that is currently not available online?
Political videos have had viral followings as well. Take for example the NRA's recent video advertisements. Whether you are a gun owner or not, most people have an opinion about guns in America. Twitter and other social media outlets are always a buzz with politically charged topics and dialogue. Having videos addressing current and relevant topics is also a way to make your videos go viral.
These are just a few of the factors that come into play when seeking viral video appeal. Remember, unique, emotionally charged content with a strong "human" element is the type of content people like sharing. And if "everyone" shares your video and sees your video, you are on your way…this is what makes videos go viral.

Synthetic cannabinoids: why they're not cannabis and how you can tell them apart
By: Redacción Wednesday, 20 April, 2022 Blog
Synthetic cannabinoids, also known as synthetic marijuana, appeared at the beginning of the 21st century as an alternative to drugs like 'Spice', 'K2', 'Kronic', or other narcotic substances. Although these compounds were created in the lab to help scientists study the endocannabinoid system, their effects can be unpredictable, extremely harmful, or even life-threatening. Here we explain what they consist of, so you know how to differentiate them from natural cannabinoids (i.e. phytocannabinoids).
Synthetic cannabinoids are lab-manufactured chemical compounds that were originally designed to mimic or produce cannabis-like effects (hence why they're also known as cannabimimetic compounds). However, they are not a synthetic form of marijuana and do not actually mimic the effects of THC, as they produce several negative effects which aren't characteristic of the cannabis plant.
There are more than two hundred different man-made cannabinoids that have been identified internationally, all with chemical structures different from that of THC. Each can cause different responses in the body (for instance, the synthetic cannabinoid AMB-FUBINACA can deliver an effect 75 times stronger than that of THC), but none of them have been clinically tested, so their level of tolerance or safety has not yet been established.
Types of synthetic cannabinoids
These products have become popular among teenage users as they can be easily obtained on websites or at head shops' (i.e. specialised paraphernalia stores). Nonetheless, many of them have been banned in several countries after being identified as 'herbal products', although manufacturers keep skirting the law by creating new products with different compositions or by labelling them as 'unfit for human consumption'.
The best-known family of synthetic cannabinoids is 'JWH', named after John W. Huffman, Professor of Organic Chemistry at Clemson University (South Carolina), who was the first to synthesise them as pharmacological tools for studying endocannabinoids. This family comprises more than 60 known compounds, some of which are the key components in drugs like Spice or K2. One of them, JWH-018, produces strong pharmacological effects, is easily synthesised, and is used to create other synthetic cannabinoids with different characteristics and affinity to the CB receptors. Other examples include JWH-073, MAM-2201, and AM-2201.
Other groups of common man-made cannabinoids include 'HU' and 'CP'. HU (Hebrew University) compounds are classic cannabinoids, whereas CP compounds are cannabimimetics originally developed by the pharmaceutical company Pfizer in the 1970s, so they've never been commercialised. Beyond the synthetic cannabinoid HU-210, which scientists use to identify cannabinoid receptors in the brain and study the effects of Delta-9-THC, there are no approved medical applications of synthetic marijuana.
How to recognise 'fake weed'
Synthetic marijuana is usually presented as a mixture of dried leaves from herbal plants and is commercialised as 'incense', 'aphrodisiac tea', or 'herbal potpourri'. It is presented in different colours, including green, brown, or red; and is often sold in small packets made of aluminium foil in several colours or plastic bags with an air-tight seal. These products are promoted as an alternative to cannabis that is not detectable through automated drug analysis methodology.
Synthetic cannabinoids are manufactured in powder form in Asia, without following any regulations or standards (and where there's limited control of the export of research chemical products). These are smuggled into Western countries, where they are dissolved in a solvent that is then sprayed on finely chopped plant matter.
The resulting product is finally sold online or in convenience stores, so there's no quality control in the process. There's also a huge variability in the amount of synthetic cannabinoid present in different batches or even in a single dose, which can increase the risk of overdose.
Synthetic cannabinoids have also emerged in the form of liquid oil for use in electronic cigarettes or vaporisers. These can also be added to edibles (gummies, chocolates, etc.) or can be turned into a drink.
What effects does synthetic cannabis produce?
People who have used these products claim that you get a high that is similar to that of marijuana, though it doesn't last as long. Others experience a feeling of relaxation, rather than the 'mental high' produced by real cannabis. Mood and perception may change, and concentration and coordination may become difficult.
Possibly because of their potency, synthetic cannabinoids are more likely to be associated with hallucinations than natural cannabis, in addition to causing severe reactions like paranoia, panic attacks, violent behaviour, or even delusional thoughts. Compared to cannabis, the associated psychotic symptoms are more severe and can last for weeks.
Their 'harsh' flavour is also worth mentioning. Users claim that "it makes your throat burn and your lungs hurt" after smoking. Since there are no regulations for the manufacture, packaging, or sale of synthetic weed, it is impossible to know the types and amounts of chemical compounds in each product, so you can never be sure of the potency of every dose.
What are the risks of synthetic cannabinoids?
Most synthetic cannabinoids are harmful and produce unpredictable effects. Most importantly, users can react to these compounds in different ways. For some, the effects may be more severe than for others, and may be intensified by other drugs or alcohol, by the user's mental health, or by the presence of underlying medical conditions.
To date, very few studies have been published that prove the effects of these chemicals, although some reports claim that certain overdoses have led to fatal heart attacks. Similarly, these synthetics have been associated with acute renal injuries, resulting in hospitalisation and dialysis.
Beyond these short-term effects, other side effects have also been observed in users of synthetic marijuana, including: increase in blood pressure, seizures, tremors, anxiety, high fever, sweating, nervousness, confusion, organ failure, coma, or even death.
Although we've only scratched the surface regarding synthetic cannabinoids, it is vital to spread awareness about their negative repercussions. The main problem right now is that absolutely nothing is known about their toxicity levels or their metabolites. Therefore, it must be made clear that they're potentially highly dangerous and should never be consumed.
How to avoid using synthetic cannabinoids?
Without any doubt, the best way to stay clear of synthetic cannabinoids is by learning about all the benefits of the natural cannabinoids found in the marijuana plant. That way, it will be easier to avoid falling into the temptation of trying this harmful version, which will most likely only bring disastrous consequences.
Phytocannabinoids are rarely associated with significantly adverse effects and have a remarkable safety record, which is endorsed by thousands of scientific studies. In addition, marijuana use cannot lead to a fatal overdose, regardless of its potency or the quantity consumed.
In Kannabia's catalogue you can find various strains that have been hybridised to obtain the highest THC levels, but we also have other varieties that are focused on other cannabinoids which have shown enormous potential. These include cannabidiol-rich strains such as BCN Diesel CBD, Swiss Dream CBD, or Kama Kush CBD.
CBD has been the 'trendiest cannabinoid' in the last few years for its wide range of therapeutic properties. Nonetheless, it's also important to pay attention to minority cannabinoids such as cbg (cannabigerol), which showcases some analgesic qualities that can exceed those of THC but without producing any psychoactive effects. In this case, the strain that you should definitely try is our CBG Auto.
Other cannabinoids with a promising future are THCV (tetrahydrocannabivarin) and CBDV (cannabidivarin). Like THC, THCV delivers a euphoric effect but also helps inhibit the appetite. On the other hand, CBDV showcases as many medicinal properties as CBD, and has already been studied for use in patients who suffer from nausea or epilepsy. If you want to get to know these better, we recommend our THCV and CBDV Auto strains.
As you can see, the easiest way to get these 'true' cannabinoids is through the self-cultivation of marijuana, a practice that is not only full of advantages for personal growth but also ensures that all the cannabinoids that you produce are natural and safe.

We have collated a plethora of articles on dog training and put them right here for you. This is your dog training advice hub, with guidance on everything from house-training to obedience and collar training to responding to a name.
No dog is born 'ready-trained'. They don't know the rules and conventions of living in a human world and have no idea what kind of behaviours are expected of them.
It's up to you to teach them. Responsibility is a blast, right?
If you train your dog right, it certainly can be! Your dog will become what you train him to be. Training isn't a finite process that lasts a month or so when he is a puppy. It is a lifelong commitment to helping your furry buddy work out what is right and what is wrong. By making this commitment, you are investing not only in an easier life for the both of you, but also in a more intense and trusting relationship with your dog.
The articles that follow cover the strategies and techniques you will need to help you train your dog effectively. Follow the advice given and you stand a much higher chance of ending up with an obedient, respectful, well-behaved and loving dog.
NB: For advice on behaviour problems and training remedies to solve them, check out our dog behaviour category.
Dog Training – What Is It?
That may seem an obvious question, but there is actually more to it than 'teaching your dog what to do'. In this section, we look at the what, how, why and when of training and the nitty gritty of fundamental training theory.
Dog training isn't just about telling your dog what to do. You will need a range of tools and resources to ensure that both you and your dog get the most out of the training process.
These articles look at the different equipment available to help you help your dog. They also highlight the equipment that SHOULDN'T be used to train your dog, unless you want a furry family member that is terrified of you and is only doing what you want because they are fearful of pain being inflicted on them.
Puppies are great. They are even greater if you train them well! Puppies are awesome at learning quickly, but their brains (and bodies) are still developing early on, so it's important to do the right training, at the right time, for the right amount of time.
Puppy training is perhaps the most critical part of all dog training. After all, what they learn now will form the basis of their behaviour for years to come. Make sure that any bad habits get nipped in the bud now!
Nobody wants a house covered in accidental bodily excretions, now, do they? House training is absolutely critical for your dog. Teaching your dog to eliminate outside or in a designated area is the best way to save your soft furnishings and sanity and help your dog avoid issues when visiting other people's environments!
This type of training is usually referred to as house or potty training. Just like training a toddler, the process can be a long one that requires patience. The following articles include everything you need to know about house training your dog.
Basic obedience is perhaps the most important type of training you can offer your dog. By learning how to respond to commands, your dog will not only be safer, but will also be a well-behaved buddy who is a joy to be around. The articles below give the low down on the essential commands you need to teach your dog.
Dogs aren't born with a collar and lead ready attached. It isn't the most natural thing in the world for them. Dogs walk faster than us humans and love to explore as much as they can, so getting them to feel comfortable being restricted in this way take a little time and some effort.
Expect your dog to want to dash about and pull you along when they first experience a collar and lead! Training your dog to walk sensibly on a lead isn't the easiest training programme to complete, but is TOTALLY worth the effort, making walks easier and safer for you, your dog and other people. Check out our how to guides below about lead training your dog.
This is a video of respected trainer and animal behavior specialist Dr Ian Dunbar is a respected dog trainer and animal behaviourist. He gives advice and guidance on a lot of dog training aspects, all with a focus on providing a positive experience for both you and your dog.
In the video below, Ian discusses how our dogs see the world, and how we should try to empathise with this. By doing so, we strengthen the bond we have with our pooch. That bond, in turn, helps along the training process, making it more enjoyable and much easier for both dog and owner.
Victoria Stillwell is a well respected dog trainer across the globe. She is a main proponent of positive reinforcement training techniques. Her view (and a lot of other dog trainers) is that you will get better results from your dog if you treat them with respect and kindness when training them, rather than ruling by fear.
Whilst other trainers think that acting as an alpha dog in a pack, or using electric or prong collars, get your dog to learn new tricks quickly, they fail to highlight the devastating effect these methods can have on both your dog's emotional wellbeing and the relationship between you.
Teaching a dog that when he does something good, he will be rewarded, instead of teaching him that doing something bad equals a punishment is the name of the game.
Think about it. Which would you be more likely to try again and again? Sitting down and getting given a treat or sitting down and getting poked and prodded and told off?
Victoria's training techniques are a great way of making all training processes fun whilst still delivering results. You can check out her ways of working here.
If you are looking for something particular regarding dog training and haven't found it yet, please let us know by contacting us on XXXX.

The Economist ranks Kellogg-Schulich EMBA No. 1 in Canada, No. 8 in the world
The Economist magazine has ranked the Kellogg-Schulich Executive MBA eighth in the world and No. 1 in Canada in its latest EMBA ranking. The Kellogg-Schulich Executive MBA program in the Schulich School of Business at York University has consistently rated among the top 10 in the world by the Economist in each of the three EMBA rankings it has conducted.
In placing eighth overall, the Kellogg-Schulich EMBA ranked just behind Oxford, Chicago, IMD and Berkeley, and ahead of Kellogg, its partner school. Three programs in the global Kellogg EMBA network (Kellogg, Kellogg-Schulich and Kellogg-WHU) all placed among the top 10 in the world.
Ranking highlights
The following are some of the major highlights for the Kellogg-Schulich program in the Economist ranking:
Kellogg-Schulich was ranked second in the world in the broad category of Personal Development and Educational Experience, worth 50 per cent of the total score. The category encompasses faculty quality, student quality, student diversity and program quality. The Kellogg-Schulich program ranked second in the world in the sub-categories of Program Quality and Student Diversity, and ninth in the world in the sub-category of Faculty Quality.
Schulich ranked 16th in the world in the other major category of Career Development, also worth 50 per cent of the total score. The category encompasses career progression, salary increase and networking. The Kellogg-Schulich program ranked 16th in the world in the sub-category of Career Progression and 13th in the world in post-EMBA salary increase one year after graduation. Our program was also ranked third in the world in the category of Networking.
The Economist results closely mirror the 2018 QS Global EMBA ranking, released in May 2018, which rated the Kellogg-Schulich EMBA No. 6 in the world among joint programs.
The Economist survey is the only major global ranking that rates business schools on criteria deemed most important to MBA students and alumni – everything from career progression and salary increase to networking opportunities.

We started the TPR Player of the Week in 2011 based upon the ranking a player achieved earning TPR points throughout the tournament week. These standings are currently posted automatically at FIBSBoard by TourneyBot.
In 2014 we will be also automating this task, because bots never forget to do what they are told!
These awards will be based upon the TPR points players earn throughout the award period.
We will also also hold Championship tourneys for various time periods to select a Champion of the Year, for example.
These Championship tourneys will be seeded like a Tournament Of Champions where in order to be eligible to enter you will have had to win a tournament. We will then seed the winners based upon the TPR points they earned throughout the award period.
This will leave 2014 as a year of transition. We will use this time to try different things and see what works well and what doesn't. For example we are not sure running a Monthly Championship would work well, but we are open to try!
We have not been happy with replacing a regularly schedule tourney with a closed championship, so these championship tourneys will be run as multi-day tourneys.
It looks like 2014 has the prospects of being a very memorable year! It will either be GREAT or a total FLOP!
We also said that we want to run regular Tournament Of Champions (TOC) events and here we are approaching the end of the first Quarter of 2014.
We should be able to run a Monthly TOC as a multi-day and based upon past performance of players each TOC should finish up in a month or less.
What is the best way to catch up?
We could fire up 3 TOCs (Jan, Feb, Mar) but that would be silly, so in the spirit of silliness on April 1st we will be opening registration for a TOC for the First Quarter of 2014.
The format will be a 5/7/9 with 1 week clocks.
This tourney will include all players who have won a tournament during the period.
At this point there are over 40 players qualified to enter.
We will then move to opening a new TOC on the first of every month.
I would like to reinforce that this is an experiment and may not be the best plan, but the truly best way is to try it!
Any constructive feedback is greatly appreciated!
It dawned upon me that there was no reason to wait until April 1st to create the TOC.
So I have created tourney 7841 with a list of the winners to date.
I will update the list daily.
I found that there have been 97 winners so far!
If everyone registers that will put us in a 128 player bracket, which will be a TourneyBot first!
If you register PLEASE PLAY YOUR MATCHES as quickly as possible!
The registration is still open, we have 49 players in and we now have 98 qualified players.
The Bloody Mary today is the last tourney of the quarter (when rounded to weeks).
So We should be all set have the tourney start on Tuesday April 1st.
The TOC is progressing well.
17 of 63 matches have been completed.
Remember you can leave FIBS messages, FIBSBoard messages or use the FLG site to send an email.
This may be one area we need to improve things.
What happens after 7 days and a match has not been played. I'm waiting on such a match. I guess they still have 3? days to complete.
This weekend I will attempt to contact each player to see what the hold up is.
I assume you have tried to contact your opponent!
So after a week we have completed 37 of 63 total matches!
Thank you all for working to hard to get these matches played in a timely fashion!
We still have 3 first round matches uncompleted!
resh #32 did manage to knock out top seeded Fl_Nano - way to go resh! I am sure we'll see Fl_Nano in the next TOC.
mrjoe #34 also knocked out #2 seed asterix!! Wow are any of the top seeds safe?
Seems Not, engiagain #62 knocked out pollemanden #3 seed!
In this tourney nobody is safe! The highest seeded players still alive in round 2 are bundarama #7 and socksey #8!
This is still anyone's tourney!
but as we get further along I will allow the clocks to handle things since we will be left with clearly experienced players!
Well I am back after a week in Dallas.
The tourney is moving forward quickly now and we now have 3 Quarter-Finalists!
millennium (48) vs jimbok (9) Good Luck!!
All players seeded 1-8 have been eliminated!
We are very impressed with they effort everyone has made to play matches!
We now have all 4 semi-finalists!
Remember it has a 9 point final!
If you could post discussion of the scheduling of the final match it would be nice to allow for spectators!
I have opened the April TOC!
I will update it every day with any new winners.
If you win a tourney on April 30th you will have until 1200UTC to register.
The last tourney of April will be the Wednesday Three/Five.
In the future I will have the bot update the TOC allowed players automatically.
The April TOC has not started yet since the Tournament Month has not finished yet!!
If the Tournament Week starts on Monday then we need to wait until the last week of APRIL is completed before closing registration for the April TOC!
I was quite surprised some things did not happen automatically last night and it took me a little time to figure it out!
Also Sunday night we should see a MONTHLY report of the TPR standings! Fully automatic!!

The Yucatan wren (Campylorhynchus yucatanicus) is a species of bird in the family Troglodytidae. It is endemic to Mexico. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, and it is only found on the narrow coastal strip of the northern Yucatán Peninsula. One of the key habitats of this species is the Petenes mangroves ecoregion of the Yucatan coast. It is threatened by habitat destruction.

Description
The adult Yucatan wren is a small species about  long. The face is whitish with a dark eye-stripe and the crown is greyish brown. The upper parts are brown streaked with black and white and the wings are brown barred with dark brown and white. The tail is black barred with grey, with white tips to some of the outer feathers. The underparts are whitish with a dark cheek-stripe and blackish spotting and barring. The juvenile is similar in appearance to the adult but with less contrast between the upper and underparts.

Distribution and habitat
The Yucatan wren is endemic to a coastal strip of the Yucatan peninsula. It can be found in arid areas with scrub and large cacti, and also the edges of pastureland. Its breeding range is even more restricted to a strip about one kilometre wide edging the mangrove forests which fringe the coast.

Ecology
The Yucatan wren is usually seen in pairs or small family groups and forages among the foliage and on the ground. Its diet is unknown.

The Yucatan wren starts nest-building activities in April but eggs are not laid until June. The nests are globular grass structures with side-entrances, and are built a few metres off the ground in coastal scrub and the borders of the black mangrove (Avicennia germinans) forest which thrives along the coasts of the region. Clutch size averages three eggs and both parents help rear the chicks. A third adult has been observed feeding the chicks occasionally, an example of cooperative breeding.

Status
The population of the Yucatan wren is believed to be stable but its range is small, and the bird is threatened by habitat loss as the area in which it lives is developed for tourism. For these reasons, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as a "near-threatened species". In 2010, the Yucatan wren was classified as endangered by SEMARNAT and Norma Oficial Mexicana.

It's not every day you get questioned at gunpoint after a triple homicide.
But try explaining that to your second-period teacher.
I was going to be late for school regardless. My mother and father left for work already and I'd missed my bus. It was drizzly, a bit chilly. Maybe February. Maybe March. And I had a 3.5-mile walk ahead of me.
It was 1994. I was 15. My hair was long enough to hide my neck and the collar of my Army-surplus jacket. I was tall — 6-foot-2 by then and still growing. I threw on jeans and boots and off I went.
I didn't realize I'd forgotten my wallet. I probably shouldn't have forgotten my wallet.
Jacob Sanders at age 15, rockin' a tie-dye shirt and purple pants.
Seeing The Oregonian before I left would have also been a good idea. Two years earlier was when I first knew I wanted to be a journalist and it was already part of my daily routine. Alas. I was behind.
It wasn't a hard walk to school — Beef Bend Road, cut through King City to 99W, then Durham Road the rest of the way. Formerly rural suburban road, old people, strip malls, sneak across a highway, more suburbs, school.
Just a long walk. A trudge in the misty rain.
King City was the part I thought least about. A 55-and-older community laid out like a suburban development, not that different than what my father's mother moved into a couple years earlier in Southern California. It was always quiet. Hardly ever saw people.
And it was that way that morning. I don't remember seeing anyone. No dogs barking. No cars on the road.
I scooted across a couple lanes of traffic after I passed the 24-hour Shari's diner that was an unofficial official late-night hangout for half the people I knew. Wide, grassy median. Wet hair matted down. Damp everything. Grumpy.
I looked around like they always do in the movies: Me?
The cops all got out of their cars. A couple stood behind their open doors, guns drawn.
In January, turns out, someone killed three women at Leathers Oil Co. in Gresham. In The Oregonian that morning was a mugshot of a former employee the police were looking for. A woman in King City saw it and looked out her window and saw me: also tall, long hair, long face.
"What are you doing here?" one cop asked me firmly but warily.
"Walking to school," I said.
Damn it. No wallet. It had my school ID — and my money for lunch. This day kept getting better.
And I just remembered: I had a real-looking pellet gun in my bag. I was bringing it back to a friend who'd loaned it to me. It didn't work but that would have hardly mattered.
He asked me a few more questions: What time did school start, why was I walking, that kind of stuff. Something about my story must have seemed plausible. The cop hadn't decided to trust me yet but got dispatch to patch through a call to the school attendance office. There was a Jacob Sanders enrolled. He had been marked absent in his first-period class.
He wanted my Social Security number to verify that I was the same person. I was a sophomore in high school. I had no idea what it was.
The next plan involved me getting into the back of a police car so one officer could drive me to school, where presumably someone would vouch for me — or not — and I could call my mom at work to check in.
The cops never did check my bag.
The cop pulled up in front of school and let me out. This was visible from the attendance office. We both walked in and we all sorted out quickly that I was who I said I was. I confirmed my class schedule, that kind of thing.
OK. Now, off to class. Second period had already started. Social studies. Mr. Chasko. He didn't like me much. It was mutual.
I walked in and he was in the middle of something with a projector.
I'd been late before. A couple times.
Silence. For a good 20 seconds or so.
"I didn't do it," I offered.
Great. All that and I was still in trouble.
Jacob Quinn Sanders works as an editor for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and has never been arrested for anything. These things are unrelated and would have surprised the 15-year-old version of him very much.
Editor's note: I've known Jacob since he was a student journalist at the University of Nevada at Reno. We've stayed in touch through the years and I've seen him progress through a series of jobs leading to his current one specializing in audience engagement — a concept that barely existed when we first crossed paths.

Wow! Great, frightening story. Good conversation starter. What with today's headlines, this is all very timely. Such a dicey situation nowadays being stopped by police. Your 15 year old self didn't exactly look like the triple homicide type.
Good story, good they didn't check your bag, on a median with no i.d. In today's world it could have turned out in a much different manner.
What a wonderfully told story … thank you!
Your story certainly struck a chord with me, a high school administrator. I appreciate your skill in narrating a tense story of mistaken identity without making any of those involved look cartoonish or incompetent.
Thanks, all, for the kind words. This is a story I've told aloud for years but never written down. George provides a great forum for that once a year, so I figured it was time. My wife tried to talk me out of it — until she read it.
Also, Aki, I wish this were Facebook so I could like your comment. Not every story with a little bit of comic timing to it need be designed to wound, mock or embarrass.
I wish I could remember this! I too had a rough time with Chasko, mostly due to my total inability to stay awake in his class.
At least the incident left you with a great story!
What a great story!!! And I'm dying to know if the social studies teacher graciously removed his foot from his mouth. And in hindsight, it's probably fantastic that something annoying-but-seemingly-usual happened so you didn't have to weigh the gravity of that moment without some normalcy. Cheers to boring and usual. Cheers to a cautious wife. And I can't decide if I like your story or bio more! Excellent fun. Thank you.
If memory serves, the first question he asked me after class was some version of "Are you serious?" He backtracked a bit from there once he knew it wasn't a joke — comic timing aside, of course.
I don't know how I missed reading this one earlier. You had me laughing out loud at points and feeling nervous for you at others. Must be the the teacher side and the mother side each taking turns imagining this from both points of view. Excellent story telling! My hat's off to you sir.
