Boxy Charm is a beauty subscription boxes that sends full-sized items for $21 per month, including shipping! I think this is a great deal because they tend to send pretty good brands! I've been admiring this box for awhile now, but just signed up for the January box. I figured it would be a good time to start. After seeing the Tarte spoiler, I knew I had to subscribe.
There is a lot of stuff in such a small box! This box fits right into my mailbox, so that gives you an idea about how small it is. It's quite impressive!
Of course the start item this month is the Tarte Maracuja Bronzing Serum. Wowzers! This is a large bottle. I'm totally happy about it because I love Tarte Maracuka oil. The stuff is not cheap, either. I'm not into bronzers, but it is said this just gives "glowing" skin, which I'm all about, so I wanted it. A lot of people complain about the scent, but I didn't think it was bad. It seemed beachy to me, but I guess if you're sensitive to scents, it could be a turnoff.
It seems super moisturizing, which is great! It doesn't bronze immediately, so don't expect that. Expect a little bit of a glow over time.
This month there were two Beauty for real lip products. A liner and a cream lip color. The cream lip color is wonderful, applies smoothly and is a very nice color. I didn't think I'd like it from the spoilers, but I'm in love! The lip pencil is perfect with it.
See? It is super pigmented!
Another item in the box was a Mirabella Prime. I will use this, but it is not too exciting! I do need a primer, though, because I just finished up my full Benefit Porefessional. I love that stuff. I am not so sure about this. I have crater pores and I am unsure if this will cover them up enough.
These pur-lisse temporary tattoos seem really out of place to me. They even seem out of place for the brand. It just is so weird to me. I do appreciate the 20% Tarte discount, though! I will be taking advantage of it!
Overall, I think this was a great first box! I am staying subscribed because I am enjoying the items. I liked almost everything in this box and I will actually use everything. Yes, even the tattoos, but only to be goofy. I don't actually think they suit me, haha.
disclaimer: I paid for this box myself. There is 1 referral link in the post.


In this step of the DirectAccess Setup wizard (step 2), you configure settings for the DirectAccess server. For the initial configuration of DirectAccess server settings in the DirectAccess snap-in, expand the DirectAccess node, click the Setup node, and then click Configure for step 2. You cannot click Configure for step 2 until you have finished the configuration for step 1. To change DirectAccess server settings, click Edit for step 2.
Before performing step 2, see Checklist: Install and Configure Single-Server DirectAccess for DirectAccess server hardware and configuration requirements.
When you click Configure or Edit for step 2, there are pages in the wizard to configure connectivity, IPv6 prefixes for your organization if you have already deployed IPv6, and certificate use.
On the Connectivity page, you must specify the network connection (interface) that is attached to the Internet and the network connection that is attached to your internal network. You can click Details to obtain the configuration of the selected network connection.
If you are testing DirectAccess on your internal network, the Internet network connection must not be connected to a network that contains a domain controller.
On the Connectivity page, you can also specify whether you require remote users to use smart cards when performing authentication with the DirectAccess server. For more information about smart cards, see Windows Authentication (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=146076).
If you already have native IPv6 deployed on your network, the Prefix Configuration page allows you to specify the 48-bit IPv6 address prefix that your entire internal network uses. You must use a 48-bit prefix.
The DirectAccess Setup wizard determines a default prefix based on the first global IPv6 address that is assigned to your internal network interface. If your internal network interface has multiple IPv6 addresses assigned and you do not want to use the prefix of the first address that is assigned to your internal network interface, you can manually specify the correct prefix. To view the set of IPv6 addresses assigned to your internal network interface, click Details on the Connectivity page.
The DirectAccess Setup wizard also determines a 64-bit prefix for IP-HTTPS connections. You must use a 64-bit prefix. The DirectAccess Setup wizard determines a default prefix based on the 48-bit internal network prefix, and then chooses a value for the Subnet ID portion of the prefix (the fourth block of the 64-bit prefix). You can also manually specify the correct 64-bit prefix based on your subnetting scheme. The 64-bit prefix must be based on the 48-bit prefix for the internal network.
The certificate for the root or intermediate certification authority (CA) in the certification path of the computer certificates that are installed on DirectAccess clients. The DirectAccess server uses this root or intermediate CA certificate to validate the computer certificates sent by the DirectAccess client computers during the initial connection to the DirectAccess server.
A certificate that the DirectAccess server uses for connectivity over IP-HTTPS. Because DirectAccess clients perform certificate revocation checking on the HTTPS certificate submitted by the DirectAccess server, you must ensure that the certificate revocation list (CRL) distribution points configured in this certificate are accessible and available from the Internet. If these CRL distribution points are not accessible to DirectAccess clients, authentication fails for IP-HTTPS-based DirectAccess connections. For information about configuring CRL distribution points for Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS), see Specify CRL Distribution Points (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=145848).

Q: I have a correct subquery that returns results but when I use it as an "IN" clause I get error 1064 This must be a very simple problem, the subquery returns results alone but the compound query reports:

ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'table where table in (select table_name from information_schema.tables where tab' at line 1

Here's the query:
select *
from table
where table in
    (select table_name
     from information_schema.tables
     where table_schema='my_database'
     limit 1);

I have also tried it without the limit, that was my first attempt:
select *
from table
where table in
    (select table_name
     from information_schema.tables
     where table_schema='my_database');

A: You can't SELECT like this, where you dynamically SELECT the table name. That's why it's not working. The subselect works, but.. try to replace subselect by a constant (i.e. known) name and it still won't work.
For something like this you either need an if then else flow or dynamic SQL or do it on application side.

A: table is a reserved word, so it is not considered a an identifier, but part of the syntaxis. If you have a table table, and a column named table (confusing), you must refer to them with inverted quotes like this: `table`.
Try to avoid reserved words on table and column identifiers, e.g. my_table or table_name.

Hartsfield-Jackson may seek private screeners
Lines prompt concern about TSA staffing.
Growing security lines at the Atlanta airport have officials "dreading" the summer travel season and threatening to replace federal screeners with private contractors.
Wait times during peak periods often exceed 35 minutes and were as long as 52 minutes on a recent Friday morning, airport general manager Miguel Southwell wrote in a letter to the Transportation Security Administration. He added that "things appear to be only getting worse."
Southwell said the airport is "giving serious consideration" to privatizing screening and will start the process in 60 days unless there is a "dramatic shift" in staffing or TSA technology.
Hartsfield-Jackson International set a world record by handling more than 100 million passengers last year, with TSA workers screening about 21 million of them.
"We fear an even busier summer this year," Southwell wrote in the Feb. 12 letter to TSA chief Peter Neffenger.
Commercial airports can privatize screening by applying for the TSA's Screening Partnership Program, under which an outside firm is hired to provide screeners, though they must use TSA procedures. Only two airports in major U.S. cities — San Francisco and Kansas City — use the program, along with a number of smaller airports.
"We have been conducting exhaustive research … weighing the pros and cons," Southwell wrote. Hartsfield-Jackson last year hired a private firm to operate new screening checkpoints for airport workers.
The TSA said Friday it was evaluating Southwell's letter.
Hartsfield-Jackson "remains a focus airport" for Neffenger, the agency said in a statement. "We recognize that the issues raised in the letter are a concern, not just in Atlanta."
"While we are working on better solutions, we believe the public will support our vital mission of ensuring safe air transportation," TSA said.
Robert Williams, president of the American Federation of Government Employees Local 554, which represents TSA officers in Georgia, said privatizing screening "would be catastrophic" for the officers.
"Private companies pay much less," he said. "It's a tough job. Not everyone can do the job."
Williams also said he thinks a transition at the world's busiest airport "would be almost impossible, just by the scope of the airport."
Screening at U.S. airports was done by private contractors before the 9/11 terror attacks, in which hijackers with box cutters or small knives — which were not banned by federal rules at the time — used airliners as missiles.
Congress afterward created the TSA to standardize and boost airport security. At the time, private security firms came in for heavy criticism of hiring practices and poor performance. The switch to federal screeners was accompanied by the tougher limits on carry-on items that are now a routine part of flying.
Hartsfield-Jackson officials have periodically complained about TSA staffing and passenger wait times, and both the airport and the agency have tried various measures to speed the flow. They include additional security checkpoints, the PreCheck trusted traveler program, technology improvements and screening using bomb-sniffing dogs. The TSA increased staffing by 7.5 percent last year, but in his letter Southwell called it "late and inadequate."
The TSA says Hartsfield-Jackson checkpoints are screening about 8,000 more passengers a day than last year, a 15 percent increase. But the agency says its current budget, allocated by Congress, caps screener staffing at the same level as the previous year — the lowest level in five years.
When long security lines were causing concerns at Hartsfield-Jackson last year, Neffenger said lines could get longer, not shorter, amid a TSA initiative to close gaps in security screening that led to reports critical of the agency.
"I believe that the traveling public is willing to accept that there may be a slightly longer wait to ensure that they're secure getting on the plane," Neffenger said at the time.
"The lines are insane," traveler Margaret Thomson, of Marietta, said Friday. She said she thinks TSA screeners "throw their weight around sometimes where it's totally unnecessary and they're focusing on totally the wrong people."
But if security is privatized, she added, "I don't really see that would make any difference unless they're going to pay the people more… If they're a company, they've got a profit motive. They've got inducement to pay them less."

Andreas Elterich used to be afraid of bees. That was until he joined the American University Beekeeping Society (AUBS) and realized how important they are to the community, the economy, and ultimately, the world.
"It's not like your average club," Elterich said.
Members of the beekeeping society are the primary beekeepers for the hives, though according to Elterich, that is not all they do. The society also sells homemade lip balm and candle products made from the beeswax in the Davenport Coffee Lounge. New members are encouraged to participate from the beginning.
"I definitely want to get some hands-on experience with the hives," said Yarrow Randall, a sophomore who joined this year. She believes the club needs more exposure for people to understand that its work with bees has become even more urgent in recent years, especially with the discovery of colony collapse disorder (CCD).
"It is the mysterious disease causing devastating losses to bee colonies all around the world," Bratman said of CCD in her TEDx Talk on beekeeping. She says that in 1947, there were 5.7 million honeybee colonies in the United States, while today there are only 2.5 million. Those bees, Bratman said, are responsible for one-third of produce and produce-based products.
According to Bratman, the disorder may result when hives are invaded by varroa mites, a parasite that kills honeybees. Though AU's hives have suffered from parasitic invasions, Bratman says that since AU uses all-organic vegetation management, they do not have to worry about the effects of dangerous neonicotinoid pesticides. According to Bratman, these pesticides are considered to be one of the leading causes for CCD.
Elterich says the beekeeping society receives funding from the university via a start-up Green Eagle grant and AU Club Council. Working with the society, AU has the opportunity to research the dangers of CCD and to help mitigate the havoc it wreaks on the food production system, though Bratman believes more could be done.
"I would love to see more research surrounding the bees," she said.

This is a sauce my grandmother used to make. Meant to be served over mixed greens or can even be used as a cocktail dip. I like it over a mixture of steamed rice, egg, and steamed vegetables. Awesome!
Add chili powder, soy sauce, sugar, and lemon juice.
Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir frequently.
Made this and used lower fat peanut butter; worked really well. Fantastic as a side salad to chicken and rice. Also good as an appetizer!
I absolutely love the sweet and complex flavor of this sauce. It is delicious with all types of raw vegetables. It also helps cut a very spicy dish, so try it served alongside one of those.
Gado-gado is one of my favourite meals. We used to use whole fried peanut instead of peanut butter, here in Indonesia.
Yum ; I usually do not care for many American recipes as they usually contain at least one ingrediant that is store bought and mass produced ; that is not home cooking ... But this Gado Gado recipe can easily be forgiven for using Peanut Butter .
This looks interesting. Would be nice to try.
Awesome recipe - reminds me of my Big Acres Chipotle Peanut Sauce! Check out the recipe on my page for Chipotle Peanut Chicken Tostadas - this sauce is perfect for this recipe!
I've tried this recipe - it's amazing, and surprisingly easy to prepare.

King's Royal Hussars Challenger 1 tank alongside pack horses, Mrkonjic Grad area, Bosnia, 1997
Digital copy of a photograph taken by Richard Stickland, Bosnia, 1997.
In the early days of the British Army's Implementation Force (IFOR) deployment to Bosnia units hired pack horses to assist in the re-supply of remote observation posts. The use of horses continued into the Stabilisation Force (SFOR) period.
A British Government Defence Committee report of December 1997 mentions the use of horses:
'Confidence patrolling is conducted on foot, in the Regiment's vehicles, or on horseback. Soldiers reported to us that the local civilian population was friendly towards patrols, and when we joined a Warrior patrol of Sipovo this was the case. Horseback patrols are an initiative of the soldiers, and provide greater mobility over difficult terrain. Depending on the operational circumstances, patrols can be made in Challenger tanks, but are more commonly undertaken in other vehicles; however, the importance of tanks being available- the need for a variable force posture-was stressed to us'
Three squadrons of The King's Royal Hussars, part of Multi-National Division (South West), were based at Mrkonjic Grad. They were equipped with Challenger I tanks, Warrior armoured infantry fighting vehicles and Scimitars light tanks. Infantry support came from King's Own Royal Border Regiment. The Household Cavalry Regiment provided a reconnaissance squadron.
The battlegroup's mission was to implement the military tasks of the 1995 Dayton Agreement and support civil agencies in order to ensure the establishment of a lasting peace within the Area of Operations thereby allowing the eventual withdrawal of SFOR.
To improve security the force monitored local forces, confiscated illegal weapons, provided crowd control and security during elections and undertook patrolling to reassure and protect civilians in the area. Civil Assistance Operations included rebuilding roads and schools, improving water and power supplies and regenerating farms and local industries and even participated in local radio programmes.

Sorrell warns rivals: 'Don't climb the backstairs of the Carlton in Cannes'
June 19, 2014 by Arif Durrani, Campaign
CANNES, FRANCE: Martin Sorrell, the founder and chief executive of WPP, reveled in the collapse of the proposed $35 billion Publicis Omnicom Group in Cannes this week.
Speaking a year after Publicis Groupe's chief executive, Maurice Lévy, reportedly summoned Omnicom CEO John Wren to a clandestine meeting about the merger at a French Riviera hotel, Sorrell said, "The moral of the story is: don't climb the backstairs of the Carlton in Cannes."
The leader of the world's largest marketing services group dismissed talk of a "clash of cultures" between the French and US holding companies, attributing the breakdown in negotiations instead to "a clash of egos and lack of planning."
"I do find it bizarre," he said. "For [Lévy] to indicate that he hadn't, prior to the announcement, sorted out who was to be the chief financial officer, that's investment banking 101."
Sorrell added: "Just to show how rapidly it came unstuck, I was told in November they hired an eminent New York investment banker to go in and try to negotiate a Kissinger-like rapprochement between the two CEOs – this is having made the announcement in July."
His concluded, "If you thought investment bankers were bad, these advertising guys take the biscuit."
Lévy and Wren had claimed they would save hundreds of millions of dollars by uniting the companies and their combined 130,000-strong global workforce.
Sorrell added: "Clearly, when [Lévy] said to [Wren], 'this could all be yours', he omitted to qualify about when it will be his. I think that very phrase, which [Lévy] did actually say he said, would indicate to [Wren] that it was going to be his – the only question was about when."
He also claims WPP has benefited, and continues to benefit, from unsettled clients leaving the two rival groups since talk of a merger began and, arguably more significantly for the longer term, the migration of senior talent.
"We've tracked it since the POG announcement," Sorrell said. "[The ratio of people moving from POG to WPP and vice versa] got as high as seven to one; it's now settled at four to one… They've had some significant departures."
Yet now that the threat to his position of global marketing leader has subsided, does the 69-year-old who founded WPP in 1985 feel any temptation to wind down?
"I don't need a good reason to get up in the morning," he said. "We started this thing 28 years ago. And we've had our ups and our downs. Every day, you have good things that happen and you have tough things that happen. I'm still full-on."
Sorrell is also keen to point out the fundamental difference between the relationship he has with his business to that of his rivals.
"Maurice Lévy did not found Publicis Groupe, John Wren did not found Omnicom, Michael Roth came into IPG. [Havas' Vincent] Bolloré is a founder, and he's in a dynasty with his sons – so that's probably the closest parallel," he says. "If you're a founder of something, you give birth to an idea. It's as near as a man can get to giving birth. It was 28 years ago... we're now capitalized at close to $30 billion, and our two biggest competitors are at $20 billion."
So will he still be leading WPP in five years?
"That's not for me to decide," he said. "It's for others to decide. I've always said it depends on performance. If the company's not performing well, obviously somebody will take me out to the woodshed and say, 'Martin, it's time to go.'"
WPP's leader, who earned £29.8 million (about $50 million) last year, a rise of 70% year-on-year, did acknowledge that such a scenario, in practice, might prove less easy than it sounds.
"The problem with founders is that, because they are so wedded to what they've done, you have to prise them out," he admitted. "But the other thing is that it's like the [former Liverpool FC manger] Bill Shankly quote: 'WPP is not a matter of life and death, it's more important than that.'"

CBD, otherwise known as Cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring compound found in the hemp and cannabis plants. CBD can be found in the stalks, stems, flowers, and leaves of the plant. It is a non-psychoactive component of the hemp plant. Because CBD delivers the benefits of medical cannabis without the high, it is increasingly being used to treat or supplement treatment of a variety of conditions. CBD is actually very similar to a naturally-occurring compound in our body's Endocannabinoid system (literally named "cannabinoid from within"). The endocannabinoids which are produced here can be located throughout our central nervous system and are responsible for controlling many processes such as sleep, digestion, mood, immune function, motor function, memory, and pain.
What are the benefits of CBD?
The benefits of CBD can range from its anti-inflammatory properties that can assist with body relaxation, to its anti-anxiety properties that can assist with stress and anxiety. We generally find that most of our customers are purchasing or trying CBD for pain, stress, and general relaxation. The growing interest in CBD is also beneficial for the movement of cannabis legalization, where people are learning more of the medicinal benefits of both the hemp and cannabis plants.
What's the difference between CBD edibles versus CBD oil?
With CBD oils, it is recommended that it is ingested sublingually, which means using the dropper and ingesting 1-3 droplets under the tongue. Onset with oils is generally felt after 15 minutes and can last up to 2 hours. CBD oils may also be considered a more natural solution because it goes through less processing. With oils, it is normally extracted from the entire plant. With CBD edibles, onset can take longer (30-40 minutes) with the effects lasting longer up to 4 hours. When edibles are made, it is usually infused with CBD that is extracted from the oil. However, with a high quality extraction process, other chemicals and natural byproducts are filtered out, resulting in a purer form of CBD as an ingredient.
How do I know how much CBD to take?
With CBD oils, it is recommended that it is ingested sublingually, which means using the dropper and ingesting 1-3 droplets under the tongue. Onset with oils is generally felt after 15 minutes, and can last up to 2 hours.
With our CBD Gummies, onset can take longer (30-40 minutes) with the effects lasting longer up to 4 hours.
Because CBD affects everyone differently, we recommend that you experiment with different dosages and products that best fit you. It is also recommended to consult with a doctor if you are using CBD for a specific medical reason.
How is CBD different than THC?
CBD is prominently found in the hemp plant and is known to have soothing, anti-inflammatory properties that target cannabinoid receptors throughout the body. We all have Endocannabinoid systems within our bodies, which is known for regulating our body's equilibrium, mood, and physiological state.
THC is the cannabinoid best known for providing a "high" feeling. However CBD does not produce this high because it is non-psychoactive and can actually reduce the psychoactive effects of THC. CBD relieves anxiety that can sometimes result from consuming THC, affecting one's mental and physical states differently.
What should I expect after consuming CBD?
One should expect that CBD could help with a general sensation of mood uplifting and relaxation. Because of its anti-inflammatory and anti-anxiety properties, the effects can be similar to the feeling after getting out of a warm bath or a post-exercise session. In higher doses, CBD can help with insomnia by putting the body in a relaxed state that would assist in getting a more restful night's sleep.
Can you expect to feel drowsiness after taking CBD?
Yes, you may feel drowsiness due to a heightened sense of relaxation. If you're unable to sleep because of stress, anxiety, pain, or inflammation-related issues, alleviating these symptoms can provide you with more restful sleep.
How soon can I expect to begin to feel the CBD's effects and for how long?
Depending on your body's chemistry, onset effects begin 30-90 minutes after ingestion and can last for four hours or more. What is the proper dosage for a CBD beginner versus someone who's maybe more experienced with cannabis?
With most substances, individuals with higher body mass will require more to experience the maximum effects. A general rule of thumb is to tale 1-6mg of CBD for every 10 pounds of body weight. A 20mg-33mg serving would be best for someone who weighs 150 pounds. Because CBD affects every individual differently, we recommend starting off with a lower dosage and experimenting with different products to find the right fit. When starting small and experimenting, one can gradually increase his or her intake based on their needs. For someone who has experienced the effects of cannabis, they can start off with relatively higher doses because they have actually experienced the effects of CBD. Cannabis strains normally have higher levels of THC, but also contain CBD.
Research shows that CBD has the potential to relieve:
day-to-day stress and anxiety
general aches and pains
chronic pain, particularly if it's associated with inflammation
pain from auto-immune conditions such as fibromyalgia, inflammatory bowel disease, and arthritis
nausea and lack of appetite
blood glucose control
What are the different kinds of CBD?
CBD comes in many different forms, the most popular being isolate, full spectrum, and broad spectrum. CBD can be ingested in many different ways, mainly through oils, edibles, wax, creams, or e-liquids. People should do their research and ask questions regarding where the CBD is sourced, quality of the distillation process, where the cultivation and processing of the hemp are done, and any further information. We don't necessarily believe there are any bad forms of CBD, however, it is important to note that there are many products that only contain hemp seed oil which does not actually contain CBD. This is because CBD is mostly found in the stalks, stems, leaves, and flowers of the plant, and not from the seeds.
What should I look for with CBD processes?
CBD can be extracted from either the cannabis or hemp plant. It is important to note that CBD extracted from industrial hemp is what is federally legal, whereas CBD extracted from the cannabis plant is only legal in states that have legalized the sale of recreational cannabis. CBD that is extracted from hemp plants contains low amounts of THC with strains being cultivated for this reason. Oil extraction is the most popular way of getting oil from any herb. It involves using alcohol to separate and collect the active compounds. The solvent takes the cannabinoids out of the plant and the liquid is evaporated which leaves the chemical compound in the oil form. The extract is then blended with a carrier oil such as hemp seed or olive oil to form a product that is more practical for use.
Most producers use Carbon Dioxide as a solvent to extract the CBD oil, but this involves high-specialized and expensive equipment. In this case, pressure and heat are used to put the CO2 through liquid, solid, and gas matter. This takes place with three chambers, one to pressurize with dry ice, one that holds the plant, and the last used to separate the CBD from the plant. The machine basically helps to push the CO2 into a state that is somewhat liquid so that it can move through the plant and extract the CBD. Then this CO2 mixture is sent to the third chamber where it is heated and turned into gas. The pure form of oil is what remains. There are many other ways to extract CBD from the plant however these are the most common methods. Reliable brands have finished products tested for CBD content. Potion's CBD is extracted via CO2 and Ethanol.
How your products are different from the bodega CBD people may see around town?
Most of the products that are found in bodegas or smoke shops contain only hemp seed oil without any mention of CBD or cannabidiol in the ingredient list at all. What most of these oils and edibles contain are extracts of the hemp seed. CBD oil can be made from either the hemp or cannabis plant, but only through the stem, leaves, stalks, or flower of the plant. These are the parts of the plant where CBD can actually be found. Additionally, many of the products that you would find in bodegas mislabel their packages with inaccurate CBD doses, no information about the brand itself, or any type of third-party lab results.
We love that our products are one of the best-tasting gummies on the market according to our customers and feedback. We are also priced competitively for the amount of CBD that each gummy contains. On top of all of this, we are proud that our products work well for people as one of the biggest issues that people have with CBD products is the ineffectiveness of low doses. Combined with these three factors, we believe that this is why our customers love our products and brand.
Why is quality CBD so expensive? What's a "good price" in your opinion that denotes good CBD quality and effectiveness?
Every company has its own discretions regarding how they price their products, and we don't believe that prices necessarily denote quality. Before we started Potion, we noticed that many brands would sell CBD products that have relatively low CBD dosage compared to its price.
Our mission is to provide natural and accessible CBD products that are effective and affordable.
Products infused with the isolate compound of CBD are usually the cheapest. This basically means that the products are isolated with just the CBD compound. The preferred option is full spectrum CBD, which includes the full spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes that work together to maximize effects, known as the entourage effect. However, because full spectrum CBD also includes the cannabinoid THC, this makes it less accessible to people who are concerned with the compound showing up on a drug test. Broad spectrum CBD is the alternative, that contains the same spectrum of terpenes and cannabinoids without the THC. Because CBD is still relatively new to the general public, we wanted to create a product that would be familiar and less scary to new users.
That's why we created Potion's five original CBD gummies that are topically infused with CBD isolate. We wanted to offer edibles that reminded people of their favorite childhood gummies and not have them worry about it containing any THC. Because CBD isolate is more affordable, we decided to offer higher doses because we really wanted people to feel its therapeutic benefits. After speaking with our customers at local markets, we decided to launch a vegan, organic, and full spectrum CBD gummy that also contains Vitamin C. This product became available when learning that people who wanted to take our edibles frequently wanted a healthier option, with smaller doses of full spectrum CBD.
Why have I been seeing CBD everywhere?
We'd like to highlight an important testament on why we believe CBD has gained mainstream attention. A girl named Charlotte Figi that was born with a disease called Dravet Syndrome, a very rare form of epilepsy. As she got older, her seizures increased in frequency and severity as she was suffering from up to 300 seizures a week. Her doctors told her that was not much more that could be done. Charlotte's grandfather read about success stories from other parents that were using cannabis to help treat their children. With nothing left to try, Charlotte's family treated her with a hybrid strain of medical marijuana that contained low THC and high CBD content. Charlotte went from seizing 300 times a week to having no seizures that entire first week. This strain worked so well on stopping her debilitating seizures that the creators decided to change the name in her honor, naming it "Charlotte's Web". Soon after, the strain was administered to other children with similar syndromes and resulted in great success. Their stories became international news and parents began wanting to learn more about whether this would be a viable form of therapy for their kids. We've recently launched our pre-roll flower in honor of her, called Charlotte's Web.
We started Potion not only to sell products but to encourage community building and creative ideas between young people in New York. Growing up in NYC, we've all developed our own set of unique skills and we are proud to bring these skills together to create a movement for our generation. This is why in the coming weeks, we will be hosting events that feature all types of creatives to showcase their work and to have our products be complements to the experience. We'd also like to highlight that as the industry grows and states begin to legalize the sale of cannabis, people should still be aware that there are still people that are sitting in prison for the same exact thing. That's why we will begin to donate a portion of sales to organizations responsible for bringing justice to those who bore the burdens of previous cannabis laws.
What is the future of CBD in New York?
Below is an excerpt from Mayor DeBlasio's view on cannabis legalization in New York that we support:
In a letter accompanying the 70-plus page report released Wednesday, de Blasio wrote, "We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to get a historic issue right for future New Yorkers. Legal cannabis is coming to New York State. When it does, we must do all we can to make sure that happens in a way that is safe, takes the health of New York City residents into account, and above all, provides opportunity while righting historic wrongs."
De Blasio additionally wrote, "We've seen these kinds of new industries spring up before. Legalization can follow two routes. In one, corporate Cannabis rushes in and seizes a big, new market, driven by a single motive: greed. In another, New Yorkers build their own local cannabis industry, led by small businesses and organized to benefit our whole diverse community."
"Tragically, we know what happens when corporations run the show," he said, citing the harm wrought by the pharmaceutical, tobacco and oil industries.
During Thursday's press conference, de Blasio said the city must do something to "avert all the disasters" of big pharma.
"We know the laws to date have caused many people to suffer and often the suffering has been profoundly unequal," citing that communities of color and low-income areas have received "the brunt of the so-called war on drugs," de Blasio. "If we know that the laws of the past were written in an unequal and unfair way, we should beware that it doesn't happen again."

Britain and Brazil coronavirus variants now found in the Bay Area
Two additional coronavirus variants now have been discovered in the Bay Area, making even more urgent California's commitment to a faster and more efficient distribution of vaccination shots across the state.
The variants, which originated in Brazil and the United Kingdom and have spread to numerous countries, were identified in the Bay Area by scientists at Stanford University's Clinical Virology Lab, spokeswoman Lisa Kim confirmed Sunday. She provided no other information on the location of the infections, but said they were reported to public health authorities on Thursday from samples "collected less than two weeks prior to reporting."
The spread of the coronavirus mutations comes as California is turning over vaccine distribution to the Oakland-based health insurance company Blue Shield, with assistance from Kaiser Permanente, in an effort to speed up what has been among the slowest vaccination rollouts in the country.
The plans for a faster and more effective vaccine distribution, however, may be thwarted if Kaiser Permanente, the Oakland-based hospital and health insurance chain which counts nearly a quarter of Californians among its customers, cannnot itself get vastly more vaccine than it's been able to procure so far.
Kaiser officials say they're hopeful that their supply will grow now that the state has tapped Blue Shield and Kaiser to take over in a transition expected to occur over the next few weeks.
"We need more vaccine to be available in the coming weeks, as we broaden vaccine prioritization from health care workers to people over 75 years of age and other eligible populations," a Kaiser spokesperson said Sunday, a day after CEO Greg Adams told members that Kaiser has received "only a fraction of the vaccine needed to vaccinate" its health care workers and members.
"The work that we, Blue Shield, and the state are embarking on is squarely aimed at getting Californians vaccinated as quickly as the supply allows," the spokesperson said in an email Sunday. He predicted progress and ultimately success will rely "on increasing the amount of vaccine received in California."
Asked if the shortage of supply will impede Kaiser's ability to aid in the statewide distribution, Darrel Ng of the state's COVID-19 vaccine task force said Sunday, "The largest factor in any entity's ability to get more vaccine is the overall supply of vaccines. California is constricted by the supply provided by the federal government."
State officials have praised Blue Shield and Kaiser as experienced California nonprofits that can help the state face the nearly unprecedented health crisis and vaccinate its population toward a goal of resuming economic normality and reopening of schools.
Data released by the state over the weekend show that providers have improved in quickness of administering the vaccine doses they do receive from the state. More than 3.4 million shots now have been adminstered, the data show. That represents about 72% of the more than 4.7 million doses that the state has distributed to counties and providers. State officials caution that the numbers may not reflect the precise picture due to lag in reporting time.

911 calls from alligator attack at Disney released
By Sandra Pedicini, Orlando Sentinel
Orange County Sheriff's officers searched the Seven Seas Lagoon between Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom theme park, left, and the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa on June 15 in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., after a toddler was dragged into the lake by an alligator.
ORLANDO, Fla. » Two 911 calls made when an alligator attacked a 2-year-old boy at Walt Disney World have been released by authorities.
Both apparently came from people who worked at the resort, including one who initially reported someone had drowned in the Seven Seas Lagoon.
An alligator dragged Lane into the manmade lake as he played on the shoreline at the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa on Tuesday night. His body was found Wednesday. The medical examiner's office listed the cause of death as drowning and "traumatic injury."
The first call came from a lifeguard at the hotel pool about 30 yards away from Seven Seas Lagoon. No voice can be heard because the call came from a "drop phone." Lifeguard stands are equipped with the phones, which the rescuers pick up and drop on their way out to the water. "When we hear an open line, we know to dispatch based on that call," said Bo Jones, assistant chief at the Reedy Creek fire-rescue department.
The second call, about four minutes long, came from a woman at the resort. Authorities say they believe she works there.
"Come to the Grand Floridian, please," she says. "Someone drowned in the Seven Seas Lagoon lake."
"At the pool?" a dispatcher asks.
"No. Lake."
"You said they drowned there?"
"I just stay in the pool. Please come to the Grand Floridian."
A dispatcher instructed her to get closer and call from her cellphone so she could tell authorities more.
"We have no information. Can you see them right now?" a dispatcher told the woman.
The woman who called spoke broken English. Jones said there was "the difficulty of those having a little bit of language barrier there," but "we were already being dispatched and on our way at that point." Jones said it took responders less than four minutes to arrive.
No other 911 calls came in from the incident, Jones said.
Local news from Nebraska, where Lane's family lives, is reporting there will be a funeral Tuesday.
Florida's fish and wildlife agency is continuing its investigation.

Howarth of London is a company specialising in the manufacture and retail of woodwind instruments and associated accessories. The company was formed in 1948 when its first oboe was produced, and continues to produce instruments today. The first oboe, serial number 1001, was purchased by Edward Selwyn, who at the time was principal oboist for the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Today the Howarth XL, the professional model, is played by soloists and orchestral players around the world, including Gordon Hunt, Roy Carter, Richard Woodhams, Elaine Douvas, Martin Schuring and Emily Pailthorpe.
The retail shop and repair workshops are based in Chiltern Street, London, whilst the manufacture of instruments takes place in Worthing on the south coast of England. The London shop is divided into three sections: the oboe and bassoon specialists; saxophone and flute specialists; and clarinet specialists. There is also a small retail outlet attached to the Worthing factory. The company is owned by Jeremy Walsworth.

The company is renowned chiefly for its manufacture of oboes, but it is also a maker of the clarinet, cor anglais and oboe d'amore. It has become the largest oboe manufacturer in the United Kingdom and continues to expand into other fields. It has developed F and G tenoroons (the G instrument is dubbed a "mini-bassoon"), smaller versions of the bassoon, designed for younger players.

Howarth of London sells both thumbplate and conservatoire system oboes. They also sell oboes from other manufacturers such as Loree and Marigaux. The shop sells accessories, sheet music and gifts for all woodwind instruments. It has been the manufacturer of choice among many teachers, students, professionals and amateurs.

People are generally very kind to pregnant women.
Now even though that is a true statement there are certain groups of people that mean well, but they just don't understand. These people may be male, never have been pregnant, or have been pregnant so long ago that they forget, or they could just be rude assholes. Therefore, they may not be able to completely understand what a pregnant woman is going through. Although it makes sense, it can create a lack of understanding of why their question may be annoying to a pregnant woman. Children are excluded from this list because they are still learning social skills. So, to help all these groups of individuals out I have put a list together.
Unless someone tells you they are pregnant or you know ahead of time they are DEFINATELY pregnant, AKA social media announcement, their sister told you already, or they are wearing a shirt that says BUN IN THE OVEN do not ask. You may think you are being kind to a newly pregnant woman but in all actuality you may be devastating a woman who had a baby 4 months ago.
Moral of the story: Just keep your mouth shut until you actually know the person is pregnant. Leave people alone in the super market. Maybe try "Hey how are you doing today?" Much. Safer. Unless you enjoy deep awkwardness, well then, continue on I guess.
No pregnant woman likes this. No one thinks it's funny.
I love jokes, dirty jokes, bad puns, stand-up comedy, you name it. Yet, I found no fun in people pointing out how large and in charge I was. I'll give you an example from my brain.
I'm not proud of what my hormonal brain conjured up when people said this to me, but pregnant ladies be cray! It would go something like this..
"No just the one." Smile-nod. Bee line for the exit.
Do not mention to a pregnant woman that she may be due any day now. Because she may not be due any day soon. Every woman's pregnant body is very different. That's just a fact. Short women with petite frames can look like they are farther along because that baby has less room in that little body. Thank goodness I'm a tall drink of water, I was like a 5 star baby hotel. No wonder my first decided to stay in until 41 & 1/2 weeks.
If it was February and someone said to me, "Due any day now huh?" I'd say, "Yes any day in August." I had this conversation often from February until August 21st.
Planned, Unplanned, IVF, Drunken one night stand, Poor birth control planning..etc.
None of it is any of your business! If someone wants to share this with you, that's great! But it should be theirs to share, not yours to ask. Family planning can be a very emotional and trying time. You never know what is going on with anyone else! Be kind and IF they decide to share information, support the crap out of them!
It was interesting to hear many comments by people who didn't mean any harm, but assumed my second son was an 'oops baby' since I became pregnant when our oldest was 3 months old.
But it's 2017 and I'm an adult. I know how birth control and reproduction works. Therefore, if I wasn't taking steps to prevent this from occurring, then I suppose that was my decision.
In our case we rolled the dice and won.
THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK! Growing a human is no joke SO pregnant ladies don't need your nonsense on top of that.
Leave us a comment with what else the world needs to know NOT to say to pregnant women.

Love this post! Such a great mix of the honest truths about pregnancy with the right amount humor that made me laugh out loud.
Ohhhhh, I am SO a fan, now Britt.
We're at the supermarket. Kathilynn is expecting Roman (#12).
The checkout ladies know us. We've been shopping there every week for a decade.
"So this is an even dozen, right?" the cashier says with a beaming smile–because she actually knows us and we like her. She then waves at our baby girl, and asks if she can give Wynnie a sucker.
At this point, the 55+ woman to my left, with orange spray on tan, gasps, her leather face reminding me of an over-cooked Cruella de Vil….
What did I do as everyone fell into silence?
Didn't miss a beat, that's what.
Then I kissed my wife, winked at the cashier and took my family home.
