Manchester United kept alive their hopes of finishing in the Premier League’s top four after goals from Bruno Fernandes, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood secured a 3-0 home win over Watford on Sunday.

Portugal midfielder Fernandes scored his first goal for United with a 42nd-minute penalty before Martial and Greenwood netted fine individual efforts to lift them two places up to fifth on 41 points from 27 games.

* Patrick Reed outlasted fellow American Bryson DeChambeau for a one-stroke victory at the WGC-Mexico Championship on Sunday. Reed took the lead with a tap-in birdie at the 16th hole and went further ahead with another birdie at the 17th at Club de Golf Chapultepec in Mexico City. Though he bogeyed the last after a wild drive, his cushion proved enough, with a four-under-par 67 sealing the deal.

* Norway's Viktor Hovland rammed home a 25-foot birdie at the final hole to clinch his first victory on PGA Tour at the Puerto Rico Open on Sunday. Hovland finished at 20-under-par 268, one shot ahead of American Josh Teater, who had missed a 15-foot birdie at the last.

* Paris St Germain extended their Ligue 1 lead to 13 points with a 4-3 home victory against Girondins de Bordeaux on Sunday but the French champions were again exposed at the back and had Neymar sent off. A Marquinhos double, Edinson Cavani's 200th PSG goal and a goal by Kylian Mbappe put the capital side on 65 points from 26 games but they lost captain Thiago Silva to a muscle injury and Neymar picked up a straight red card for a late challenge in stoppage time.

* AS Roma notched up their first home league win for more than two months when they hammered Lecce 4-0 in Serie A on Sunday, helped by an inspirational performance from Henrikh Mkhitaryan. The match was one of only two played in Serie A on Sunday due to the coronavirus outbreak in northern Italy. Four others were called off, including third-placed Inter Milan's game at home to Sampdoria.

* Real Madrid's plan to give Brazilian Rodrygo Goes some extra playing time in the reserves backfired badly after the forward was sent off on Sunday following an overzealous celebration and is now suspended from next week's 'Clasico' against Barcelona. Meanwhile, forward Eden Hazard is set for another lengthy spell on the sidelines after the club confirmed the Belgian had broken his ankle in Saturday's 1-0 La Liga defeat at Levante.

* Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice to earn Arsenal a 3-2 Premier League win over Everton on Sunday, extending the Gunners' unbeaten start to 2020 and moving them back into the battle for European places. The win lifts Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side up to ninth place in the league with 37 points, while Everton remain without a victory at the Gunners in 24 years and a point adrift in 11th.

* Diogo Jota struck twice as Wolverhampton Wanderers pushed Norwich City deeper towards the drop with a 3-0 win over the Premier League's bottom club at Molineux on Sunday. Norwich remained bottom on 18 points, seven points behind 17th-placed Aston Villa. Wolves are eighth on 39 points.

* Goals from Moussa Diaby and Nadiem Amiri gave Bayer Leverkusen a 2-0 victory over Augsburg on Sunday and kept them in contention for a Champions League spot following their sixth win in the last seven league games. Following their fifth straight win in all competitions, Leverkusen are fifth on 43 points, level with Borussia Moenchengladbach who are fourth. The top four teams qualify for the Champions League.

* Serie A leading scorer Ciro Immobile grabbed his 27th league goal of the season as irrepressible Lazio won 3-2 at Genoa on Sunday to stay on the tail of leaders Juventus. Lazio, on 59 points from 25 games, stayed one point behind the Turin side as they equalled their points tally for the whole of last season, when they finished eighth, and extended their unbeaten run to 20 league games, including 16 wins.

* Britain's Jamie Chadwick earned her first points towards a Formula One superlicence on Sunday after finishing fourth overall in the Asian F3 series at the Buriram circuit in Thailand. The 21-year-old W Series champion and Asian F3 race winner secured 10 points towards the 40 needed over a three-year period to be able to compete in Formula One. The all-female W Series will also offer licence points this year, after an inaugural season without any in 2019, and the 2020 champion set to gain 15.

* Defending champion and second seed Stefanos Tsitsipas beat Canadian teenager Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-3 6-4 on Sunday to win the Marseille Open for the second time in a row. The victory made Tsitsipas the first man to win back-to-back trophies at the tournament since Sweden's Thomas Enqvist in 1997-98.

* Chilean Cristian Garin secured his first ATP 500 tournament victory on Sunday by beating Italy's Gianluca Mager 7-6 (3), 7-5 in the final of the Rio Open. It was Garin's second ATP tour victory in less than a month and the fourth of his career. Each of his previous titles had come in the lower-tier ATP 250 category.

Northeastern Japan Arc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search
The Japan Trench, where the Pacific Plate slides beneath the Okhotsk Plate is the cause of the Northeastern Japan Arc

The Northeastern Japan Arc, also Northeastern Honshū Arc, is an island arc on the Pacific Ring of Fire. The arc runs north to south along the Tōhoku region of Honshū, Japan. It is the result of the subduction of the Pacific Plate underneath the Okhotsk Plate at the Japan Trench. The southern end of the arc converges with the Southwestern Japan Arc and the Izu-Bonin-Mariana Arc at the Fossa Magna (ja) at the east end of the Itoigawa-Shizuoka Tectonic Line (ITIL). This is the geologic border between eastern and western Honshū. Mount Fuji is at the point where these three arcs meet. To the north, the Northeastern Japan arc extends through the Oshima Peninsula of Hokkaidō. The arc converges in a collision zone with the Sakhalin Island Arc and the Kuril arc in the volcanic Ishikari Mountains of central Hokkaidō. This collision formed the Teshio and Yūbari Mountains.

The Ōu Mountains form the backbone of the volcanic part of the inner arc that run from Natsudomari Peninsula in Aomori Prefecture south to Mount Nikkō-Shirane in Tochigi and Gunma prefectures. The volcanic front consists of four north to south lines of Quaternary volcanoes and calderas, which extend the length of the range. It also includes the Quaternary volcanoes of southwestern Hokkaido. The Dewa Mountains and the Iide Mountains are non-volcanic uplift ranges that run parallel to the west of the Ōu Mountains.[1]

The outer arc ranges are the Kitakami and the Abukuma Mountains. These mountains are made from pre-tertiary rock. The mountains rose in the Cenozoic and have since been worn smooth by erosion.[2]

Number of employees

Skyhook is a location technology company based in Boston, MA that specializes in location positioning, context and intelligence. Founded in 2003, Skyhook originally began by geolocating Wi-Fi access points and evolved with the idea that hybrid positioning technology, which incorporates Wi-Fi, GPS, cell towers, IP address and device sensors, could improve device location.

Skyhook was founded in 2003 by Ted Morgan and Michael Shean.[1] Skyhook's database was initially gathered through wardriving,[2] when the company sent teams of drivers around the United States, Canada, Western Europe and selected Asian countries to map out Wi-Fi hot spots.[3]

Skyhook powers location-based services for companies such as Apple, Samsung, Sony, HP, Dell, Sharp, Philips and MapQuest.[4]

The firm received its first patent in 2007, and as of early 2020 holds over 650 patents across the United States and foreign markets.

In 2010 Skyhook sued Google over the use of Wi-Fi locator technology in cell phones.[5] The complaint claimed that Andy Rubin, Google's Vice President for Engineering, gave Sanjay K. Jha, Chief Executive of Motorola's mobile devices division, a “stop ship” order, preventing Motorola from shipping phones with the Android operating system using the Skyhook software. The litigation was settled in 2015: Skyhook  received $90 million in settlement with the tech giant, a third of which was consumed by legal fees.[6] The figure was revealed in a securities filing by Liberty Broadband Corp., Skyhook's Colorado-based parent company.[7]

In February 2014, Skyhook Wireless was acquired by TruePosition Inc, a subsidiary of Liberty Broadband.[8] In 2016, the two companies merged under the Skyhook brand, which now rests under Liberty Broadband, which is a part of the Liberty Media family.

In 2016 Skyhook launched new products dedicated to the advertising technology market: Retailer Personas, Power Personas, and On-Demand Personas. These solution, based on Skyhook's processing of billion location points, help marketers finely target consumers based on where they have been in order to personalize mobile marketing campaigns.[9]

In February 2019 Skyhook announced that it is working closely with Qualcomm Technologies to bring Wi-Fi positioning and location-assistance services based on Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear platforms.[10]

In February 2020 Deutsche Telekom announced that Skyhook was among its new technology partners for IoT Solution Optimizer, an ecosystem of company developed to “scale-up IoT business faster, and support enterprises of all sizes wanting to succeed in the Internet of Things.“[11]

In April 2020 Skyhook partnered with Kyocera to provide accurate location services to DuraXV Extreme, a rugged flip phone.[12]

To pinpoint location, Skyhook uses a reference network composed of the known locations of over 4 billion Wi-Fi access points and 200 million cellular towers, As of 2020. Skyhook's coverage area includes most major metro areas in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia. The system can also be used to enhance the performance of GPS enabled devices where GPS reception is weak.

Precision Location SDK[edit]

Skyhook offers a software development kit (SDK), which allows developers to create location-enabled applications using Skyhook's software-only Hybrid Positioning System on the platform of their choice.

The SDK supports Android 2.2 (Froyo), 2.3.x (Gingerbread), 4.0.x (Ice Cream Sandwich), and 4.1.x (Jelly Bean), 4.4 (KitKat), 5.0-5.1 (Lollipop), and 6.0 (Marshmallow) including forked platforms such as the Kindle Fire, along with Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X.[13]

Context SDK[edit]

In 2013, Skyhook launched Context, which uses Skyhook's location network along with venue data to give mobile users awareness of the world around them. It enables personalized mobile experiences and enhanced revenue opportunities using 1st Party Location Network and precisely located venues.

The SDK requires iOS 6.0+ and a device with region monitoring support: iPhone 4+, iPad (Wi-Fi only) 3+, iPad (Wi-Fi+Cell) 2+, iPad mini, iPad Air, iPod Touch 5+. The Android SDK is supported on Android 2.2 (Froyo), 2.3.x (Gingerbread), 4.0.x (Ice Cream Sandwich), 4.1.x-4.3 (Jelly Bean), 4.4 (KitKat), 5.0-5.1 (Lollipop), and 6.0 (Marshmallow) including forked platforms such as the Kindle Fire.

Skyhook's main competitors include Google, HERE, Unwired Labs, Mozilla and Combain. The later was sued by Skyhook in 2019.[14] They finally announced a collaboration in a common press release issued in April 2020.[15]

It is included in Unix and Unix-like operating systems, TSC's FLEX,[1] Digital Research/Novell DR DOS, the AROS shell,[2] the Microware OS-9 shell,[3] and ReactOS.[4] The command is also available for FreeDOS[5] and Microsoft Windows.[6]

In its default usage, it is the equivalent of creating or opening a file and saving it without any change to the file contents. touch avoids opening, saving, and closing the file. Instead it simply updates the dates associated with the file or directory. An updated access or modification date can be important for a variety of other programs such as backup utilities or the make command-line interface programming utility. Typically these types of programs are only concerned with files which have been created or modified after the program was last run. The touch command can also be useful for quickly creating files for programs or scripts that require a file with a specific name to exist for successful operation of the program, but do not require the file to have any specific content.

The Single Unix Specification (SUS) specifies that touch should change the access times, modification times, or both, for a file. The file is identified by a pathname supplied as a single argument. It also specifies that if the file identified does not exist, the file is created and the access and modification times are set as specified. If no new timestamps are specified, touch uses the current time.

A touch utility first appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX. Today, the command is available for a number of different operating systems, including many Unix and Unix-like systems, DOS, Microsoft Windows and the classic Mac OS.[which?]

The version of touch bundled in GNU coreutils was written by Paul Rubin, Arnold Robbins, Jim Kingdon, David MacKenzie, and Randy Smith.[7]

The command is available as a separate package for Microsoft Windows as part the UnxUtils collection of native Win32 ports of common GNU Unix-like utilities.[8] The FreeDOS version was developed by Kris Heidenstrom and is licensed under the GPL.[9] DR DOS 6.0[10] and KolibriOS[11] include an implementation of the touch command. The touch command has also been ported to the IBM i operating system.[12]

The "snowball clause" is one way that editors are encouraged to exercise common sense and avoid pointy, bureaucratic behavior. The snowball clause states:

The snowball clause is designed to prevent editors from getting tangled up in long, mind-numbing, bureaucratic discussions over things that are foregone conclusions from the start.

The snowball clause is not policy, and there are sometimes good reasons for pushing ahead against the flames anyway; well-aimed snowballs have, on rare occasions, made it through the inferno to reach their marks. The clause should be seen as a polite request not to waste everyone's time.

One dead, three missing after cargo ship sinks off Japan

One crew member was killed and three were missing after a steel-carrying cargo ship sank following an overnight collision with another ship off Japan, the Coast Guard and local media reported.

Japan-flagged cargo ships Senshomaru and Sumihomaru collided around 2:10 am Sunday (1710 GMT Saturday) in Pacific waters off Chiba prefecture, local Coast Guard official Hiromitsu Kawaguchi told AFP.

“Senshomaru seems to have sunk at the scene of the collision. Coast Guard patrol boat Matsushima rescued the captain of Senshomaru,” Kawaguchi said.

The Senshomaru was later found on the seabed at a depth of 30 meters (yards) near the site of the collision, and the body of one of the missing crew members was found inside, Japan’s Jiji Press and Kyodo News reported.

All four crew on the 499-tonne Sumihomaru were safe after the collusion. There were no details immediately available about the scale of the damage it had suffered, officials said.

Dense fog was covering the area at the time of the accident, Kawaguchi said, adding that oil had been seen in the water around the collision site.

The Senshomaru was carrying 1,600 tons of steel from Kashima in eastern Japan to Osaka, Japan’s western commercial hub, he said.

The Coast Guard launched five patrol vessels, a helicopter, and a special search-and-rescue unit to find the missing men, while another special unit was working to contain the oil leak, Kawaguchi said.

The captain and the missing crew members are all Japanese men, he added.

Recent Grad Hannah Hinsch

October 15th, 2020 § 0

Hannah Hinsch recently got in touch with the department to report on what she’s been up to since graduating last June.

“Currently, I’m hard at work on my graduate school application for next fall, which (surprise) involves a lot of writing (and reading–so much reading),” Hannah said in an email. “For my writing sample, I’m adapting a paper I wrote for Dr. Maier’s seminar on Modernism last winter; the paper examines Katherine Anne Porter’s short story ‘Flowering Judas’ and how it deconstructs, in a way bordering on iconoclasm, the use of women’s bodies as religious icons.

“During grad school, I hope to really bolster my scholarship and cultivate my love of studying lit as a perpetual learner. I hope to meet more scholars in my field, both budding and seasoned, and build a network of people with which to share my passions (a network I have also found at SPU).”

As for her time as a student in the English and Cultural Studies Department, Hannah had this to say: “I loved being an English major[. . . .] [C]ritical inquiry and attentiveness to language required of anyone studying English are skills that I want to make my life mission to engage. Studying English doesn’t just mean you like reading; studying literature, asking questions of it, responding to it, provides you with a way of being in the world and encountering discourses. It’s amazing what a love of reading and writing can become, and the broader conversations that you can join from the hundreds of years of scholarly thinking on writers that continue to move us.”

Thanks for the insights, Hannah, and best wishes on the grad-school applications!

English Professor Emeritus Publishes Collection of New Poems

October 12th, 2020 § 0

Professor Emeritus Tom Trzyna’s New Poems has been released by Wipf and Stock Resources Publications, in Eugene, Oregon. Poet Ralph Skip Stevens, author of At Bunker Cove and Things Haven’t Been the Same, calls it “A delight to read.” Trzyna says, “I wanted to be a poet from seventh grade. Now that I have finished some books on pressing issues, I made time for verse.”

Students may also find nourishment in his Karl Popper and Literary Theory: Critical Rationalism as a Philosophy of Literature. Leiden: Brill, 2017.

Here’s a sample from New Poems:

Poetry Time

Our time expands or shrinks as we create
Or waste our hours in passive idleness.
To pause and wait is not to hesitate:
How fruitful a day of disciplined emptiness.
The sun rises and sets, the lavender blooms,
Bees scour the petals of open flowers
Sampling pollen for their honeycombs.
The breeze brings clouds and welcome showers.
Digressions and guesses play out their games of chess,
Ideas and calculations surge and ebb,
Ineffable mix of blanks and consciousness.
Thoughts and sounds and colors spin a web.
A poem assembles, cinema crystalized
That screens in myriad ways behind our eyes.

Study Finds Reliance on Outdated Data Leads to Exaggeration of Negative Impacts Attributed to Dodd-Frank 1502

Study Finds Reliance on Outdated Data Leads to Exaggeration of Negative Impacts Attributed to Dodd-Frank 1502

Posted by Annie Callaway on May 16, 2018

A recent article in Resources Policy, an international journal covering minerals policy and economics, found that individuals, academics, and companies that continue to argue that the U.S. Dodd-Frank legislation’s Section 1502 on conflict minerals has resulted in unintended negative consequences in the Democratic Republic of Congo are largely relying on outdated data.

In the article, authors Dutch Special Envoy for Natural Resources Dirk-Jan Koch and Radboud University’s Sara Kinsbergen analyzed one particularly pervasive narrative: the assertion that the U.S. conflict minerals law led to or at least contributed to a de facto boycott of mineral exports from Congo, and that this boycott continues to cause detrimental effects in Congolese mining communities.

The authors first clarify the timeline of events, noting that “the DRC government adopted an export ban on minerals from North & South Kivu and Maniema, before the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the ﬁnal rules.” In other words, the so-called boycott was a result of a domestic ban imposed by the Congolese government and occurred before Section 1502 had even been fully established in the United States. This, however, does not entirely negate the fact that confusion surrounding the conflict minerals law’s implementation led some companies to avoid sourcing from Congo and the region. And the combination of voluntary company withdrawal and the Congolese government’s official ban did result in serious negative impacts on some mining communities in Congo.

However, Koch and Kinsbergen argue that, six years after the U.S. law was implemented, it is no longer relevant or prudent to allege that the drop in investment that occurred initially still exists today, nor that the negative impact it had is still felt as acutely in Congo. Yet critics of the law continue to rely on this outdated data to make their case for the contrary. For example, Koch and Kinsbergen write:

Two inﬂuential studies…argue that the embargo on the livelihoods of the Congolese is devastating (Parker et al., 2017; Parker and Vadheim, 2017). Interestingly, the data for both of these studies stem from the immediate post-Dodd-Frank era ending in 2012, even though their articles were published in 2017. These articles were often used by those substantiating the claims that the boycott was still ongoing and the unintended eﬀects still prevailing even though the data used in the articles related to 2010 and 2011 and not to 2015 and 2016.

Koch and Kinsbergen observe that studies relying on outdated data continue to be referenced and replicated, and that “companies who would gain from deregulation stick to an outdated narrative.”

The accumulating positive impacts of conflict minerals supply chain reforms spurred by Dodd-Frank 1502 are increasingly well documented. According to a study by the International Peace Information Service, 79 percent of the tin, tungsten, and tantalum (3T) miners they interviewed in 2016 were not working under the threat of armed groups. Also in 2016, Congo’s North Kivu province – an epicenter of mining – logged record-breaking exports for both tin and tantalum; a fact that directly contradicts the assertion that the de facto boycott continues even today. Furthermore, 495 mines in Congo have now been assessed and validated by multi-stakeholder teams as conflict-free, as of December 2017.

In contrast to academic and media reports that continue to propagate obsolete narratives, Koch and Kinsbergen point out that many of the submissions in response to the SEC’s 2017 call for public comment on the conflict minerals regulation recognized the changing circumstances in Congo. In a particularly poignant example, Eric Kajemba, a civil society leader from Congo’s South Kivu province, joined a coalition that wrote to the SEC last year imploring that “suspending Section 1502 would undoubtedly lead to conflict minerals infiltrating the supply chain with devastating effects.” This sentiment was a marked evolution from the opinions expressed in a 2014 open letter Kayembe also signed which “stipulated that the Dodd-Frank Act had unintended and damaging consequences.”

“In sum,” Koch and Kinsbergen conclude, “whereas the alternative narrative [of positive developments in Congo] appears to have evolved together with the changes on the ground, the dominant narrative [claiming the boycott is still negatively impacting Congolese mining communities] does not take into account that the eﬀects of the de facto embargo are petering down.”

In 2018, the benefits of a conflict-free minerals trade demonstrably outweigh the negative impacts incurred during the initial implementation of the law. As such, the underlying motives and interests of critics who continue to use data from half a decade ago to make their case and assertions should be closely evaluated.

Can CBD Oil Manage Symptoms Related to Blood Pressure?

March 13, 2020 7 min read 2 Comments

Can CBD Oil Reduce Blood Pressure?

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is often toted as an alternative for relief from everything from inflammation to anxiety – and that includes high blood pressure. Swiftly becoming a modern-day cure-all, it’s not surprising if you’re still hesitant to try CBD for relief from something specific. If you’ve been wondering if CBD could help reduce your blood pressure or if it’s just another snake oil in disguise, this guide was made for you! Could CBD potentially lower or cause a drop in blood pressure? We look to answer that today.

To read the full review of Envy CBD products, please visit CBD Oil Articles.

What is High Blood Pressure?

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, affects 33% of adults over the age of 20 – 1 in every 3Those numbers double to 66% for adults that are in their mid-60s or older. Tens of millions face suffering from high blood pressure in the United States alone. High blood pressure is a measurable, dynamic vital sign we can observe in all humans. The numbers indicate how much pressure is being applied to the blood flow throughout the internal vein network of the human body. As you move throughout your day, this blood pressure level changes based on all the emotional, physical, and environmental stimuli around you.

 While your blood pressure fluctuates, there’s a normal range that it can fall and rise with. Roughly one-third of American adults rise well above the normal range for blood pressure levels. Chronically elevating pressure in one of the thinnest networks throughout the body, hypertension is what contributes to over 400 thousand deaths annually. It’s a high-risk, long-term condition that plagues millions of people across the globe. A vicious rising trend with no end in sight, we look at alternative remedies that may aid in relief for some symptoms associated with high blood pressure – or even high blood pressure itself. Many are turning away from pharmaceuticals for a more natural approach, which is just one of the reasons so many are picking up CBD.

Can CBD Oil Lower Blood Pressure?

The short answer? Yes, CBD could very well cause some modest drop in a person’s blood pressure levels when taken in high doses. We’re going to dive into how CBD works in the body to affect one’s blood pressure more in-depth, though. In this guide, we’ll also look at ways CBD might benefit someone with high blood pressure and tips for someone with low blood pressure who still wants to use CBD oil. Before we get started, it’s important to mention that if you’re new or unfamiliar with CBD or you’re taking any other prescription medication, please consult with a certified medical professional or your physician before getting on a CBD regimen. Some drugs can interact with CBD, and you only want to add a supplement if it will add to your current routine.

How Can CBD Help with High Blood Pressure?

Cannabidiol doesn’t just work in one way to potentially reduce high blood pressure. There are a few functions CBD effects in the body that have a direct role in blood pressure levels. First, some factors attributed to having high blood pressure are stress, anxiety, lack of sleep and fatigue. Some studies suggest that CBD can help manage and lower the symptoms of all three. Heightening clarity and focus, reducing anxiety levels, and helping to lower stress could also help with balancing blood pressure levels to some degree.

 CBD can stimulate calming effects. When you’re able to relax and feel calm, your blood pressure levels decrease in time with your heart rate to respond accordingly. Vasodilators are medicines that causes blood to flow more easily throughout the body by dilating or widening the blood vessels. A natural vasodilator, CBD can help improve positive cardiovascular health. As high blood pressure can damage the heart and arteries, cannabidiol acting as a natural medicine to allow the blood to flow smoothly and easily is a welcome addition.

 Finally, cannabidiol has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. Since inflammation can trigger high blood pressure, or vice versa, something that combats inflammation outright is great to have on your side. You can use a CBD topical cream to relieve specific target areas or a CBD oil tincture or other consumable that allows for general and full body relief.

Is Using CBD Safe?

In a comprehensive update on the side effects and safety of CBD with a review of relevant animal studies and clinical data, the National Institute of Health tested daily doses of up to 300 milligrams of CBD supplements in pill form consistently for six months. Finding the supplements could be used safely even in such high doses, they also tested daily pill doses for 1,200 and 1,500 milligrams for up to four weeks.

 Finding the supplements could be used safely even in such high doses, they also tested daily pill doses for 1,200 and 1,500 milligrams for up to four weeks. In addition, sublingual dosing through a 2.5mg dose of CBD spray was used safely for two weeks.

Overall, the data found CBD to be considered safe, though we still don’t know for how long and at what quantity until further research is done. The Harvard Health Letter states potential mild side effects of CBD include drowsiness, lightheadedness, low blood pressure, fatigue, irritability, nausea, and upset stomach, or diarrhea. However, the formula used, how it’s consumed, and the quality of the other ingredients in the formula can play a huge role on these side effects.

Benefits of Using CBD Oil for High Blood Pressure

The best part about using CBD oil for high blood pressure is that because you’re ingesting it to get relief from hypertension, you’re also reaping all the other benefits it can provide.

Using a CBD oil tincture for a sublingual dose to get the maximum level of cannabidiol absorbed means it works the fastest and likely the longest. Many report relief from chronic pain, depression, and much more. When you take CBD specifically for blood pressure, you can’t help but also experience the general wellness it promotes by regulating your endocannabinoid system. CBD doesn’t just help with symptoms that are most likely to cause high blood pressure, however. It can specifically lower blood pressure, too – even with just a single dose.

In a randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled crossover study of healthy volunteers, nine males were either given a placebo or 600mg of CBD. They used a laser Doppler and a finometer to monitor cardiovascular parameters of the volunteers. In the study, cannabidiol maintained cardiac output and reduced resting systolic blood pressure. The subjects that took the real dose of CBD had a lower blood pressure count, increased heart rate, and a decreased stroke volume. Though more research is vital before we can establish that CBD has a role in some cardiovascular disorder treatments, the study’s data shows that precise administration of cannabidiol can reduce both the resting blood pressure and blood pressure caused by an increase in stress to humans.

 In a related 2019 Brazilian study, researchers looked at the effect CBD has on anxiety and stress related to public speaking. As environmentally-motivated stress can increase blood pressure, the findings show further promise that CBD can help reduce blood pressure. The group that took a medium dose (300mg) of CBD experienced the most notable reduced stress response, indicating that CBD can help reduce stressful environmental factors given the optimal dosage for it.

Potential Concerns with Using CBD for Maintaining or Reducing Blood Pressure

While these studies show us an optimistic light for CBD’s future, it’s important to mention the risks involved with any natural chemical compound. We don’t yet have enough conclusive evidence to determine that CBD is an effective treatment for any condition other than the ones approved by the FDA. Most evidence has been gathered through healthy volunteers or through animal studies, both of which implies we may see different results with an ill human subject. Combination of CBD with other high blood pressure medication is the biggest potential concern if you plan on using CBD for your hypertension. If you are already prescribed high blood pressure medication, taking CBD in combination can lower your blood pressure too much. “Too low” is just as bad as “too high,” so you’ll want to speak with your physician before adding CBD onto the medication you’re already taking. Your doctor may want to reduce the dosage strength you’re taking for your other blood pressure prescription before incorporating a CBD oil into your daily regimen.

 In addition, CBD is not just a cure-all for high blood pressure – on the contrary, it’s merely a tool that can be used in tangent with other tools to help lower your blood pressure consistently. You can safely manage hypertension by reducing and managing the stress in your life, performing daily activities that get you up and moving, improving your diet, and eliminating or at least reducing the use of alcohol and tobacco. Lowering your high blood pressure with CBD oil won’t do much if you don’t follow up with a lifestyle change that continues to improve your health. Start utilizing a CBD oil today to reduce your blood pressure and experience the other benefits that will allow you to live a lighter, healthier lifestyle overall.

Student Activity Fee

Student Activity Fee and Student Services Fee Advisory Committee (SSFAC)

The activities hosted by the Office of Student Life throughout the year would not be possible without the support of our students.  Students are charged $3 for per every college credit hour they are registered for each semester.  Each year, a budget for allocating fee monies is approved by the Student Services Fee Advisory Committee (SSFAC). The committee is composed of nine members; five students appointed by the Student Government Association and four faculty appointed by the College President.

The SSFAC allocates funds that allow Student Life to run a variety of programming, such as activities, events, giveaways, recreational sports, intramural activities, and cultural heritage celebrations.  In addition, the SSFAC reviews monthly requests for funding from students, student organizations, campus wide committees, and faculty/staff looking to develop an activity specifically for students.  Some examples of activities are speakers, entertainers, student travel, and more.  These activities cannot be solely academic in nature, based on a limited classroom-based activity, and must be open to all San Antonio College students.

The Office of Student Life welcomes funding requests to submit to the Student Services Fee Advisory Committee (SSFAC).  The committee meets on the first Thursday of each month to review requests.  Applications are accepted until the Monday prior to the committee meeting. Meetings will not be held in January, June, July, or August.  For more information, contact the Office of Student Life at 210-486-0125.

Let's Look For A Minute..., Proper 7 (C) - 2010

June 20, 2010

[NOTE TO READER: Gerasene demoniac is pronounced JER-uh-seen de-MON-ee-ak]

Letâs look for a minute at the story of the Gerasene demoniac; itâs about time somebody did. The story doesnât get a lot of attention in preaching these days, and thatâs a shame. Thereâs some really good stuff here, and itâs pretty funny if you come at it from the right angle. Also, itâs very handy to have it coupled with Paulâs words in Galatians. The two readings help each other.

First of all, letâs look at the issue that seems to get in the way of engaging it the most these last few centuries â those poor doomed demons. The fact is, the New Testament world had a different way of seeing reality than we do, or than the 10th century did, or than the 17th century did. And Iâm confident that in just a handful of decades there will be a still different way of seeing the world â different categories, different ways of naming and organizing the stuff we experience. And so on. That changing never changes.

These days, we donât do demons, at least not much. We donât have a category for that. But itâs not a big deal; and itâs sure not worth all the effort folks put into trying to force this square peg into the round hole of our current categories. Instead of that, letâs see whatâs going on here; and letâs see where the gospel is.

On one really important level, the story is a hoot â itâs somewhere between a political cartoon and a graphic novel. The whole scene is bizarre. Youâve got a naked crazy guy, chatty demons, charging pigs doing swan dives, tombs, chains, shackles, freaked-out locals, and a small riot. All in gentile territory where, as far Luke was concerned, Jesus had no business being in the first place.

The folks who first heard this story must have loved it. In addition to the great action and dialogue, there was ancient regional rivalry.

What could be more fun for the good Jews of Galilee to hear than a story about how un-kosher, unlucky, and generally weird the gentiles on the other side of the lake really were; and about how all those unclean pigs came to a well-deserved and hilarious end.

Then thereâs the political subtext. Everybody knew instantly both that it was no accident that the demons called themselves âLegionâ after the famous and feared Roman legions, or that pigs were a staple of both the Roman army and the Roman economy. Caesarâs legions, and Caesarâs rations, were mere childâs play for Jesus â a quick flush and theyâre gone. What fun. And most Romans who heard the story probably wouldnât even get this part.

But as delightful as all this is, this is much more than a mildly comic interlude in Jesusâ Galilean ministry. Itâs really good news, and itâs good news about power â all sorts of power. The Gerasene demoniac appears just after the more familiar account of Jesus calming the storm on the lake. In fact, the storm was on the very same trip that took Jesus and the disciples to Gerasene. Both of these accounts are part of Lukeâs run-up to the big question Jesus asks his disciples in the next chapter: âWho do you say that I am?â In fact, all of these stories are hints about what the right answer is; so they all are not so much stories about what Jesus did, but about who he is.

And who Jesus is has to do with power. It has to do with which, of all the powers in the universe, regardless of what categories we use to talk about them, are the strongest, which powers will have the last word.

You see, there are a lot of powers out there, powers that can, and do, hurt and isolate and torment and destroy â in all sorts of ways. The categories we use to describe them donât really matter that much. Whether we live in a world full of demons or schizophrenics, of storm-gods or indifferent natural laws, of illness or of possession â regardless of the categories we use, we live in a dangerous world, a frightening world, a world that seems at both first and second glance to be pretty much against us. We live in a world that doesnât seem to care about us or our pain. We know this all too well.

And the story of the Gerasene demoniac, like the story of the calming of the sea, like so many of the other stories about what Jesus did, and about who Jesus is, these are ways of saying that all of those powers out there, regardless of how we name them or organize them, regardless of how real they are, and regardless of how awful they are â none of them is ultimately powerful, none of them has or will have the last word, none of them will prevail, ultimately. In the end, when all is said and done, we are safe. And the power that Jesus brings, the power of love, the power we see most clearly on the cross, that power will prevail. And this victory is ours by gift.

At the end of the day, it doesnât matter what is lined up against us. Look, the Gerasene demoniac had more to worry about than his demons. He was also a pariah, cut off from family, friends, community, relationships â from all those connections that together weave the fabric of our humanity. That isolation, that apart-ness, was also the victory of powers, perhaps powers we humans create, powers that can destroy as effectively, and as completely, as madness or storms.

Still, by the time Jesus got through with him, our demoniac was on the other side of those as well. He was not only in his right mind, but he was, as they say, dressed appropriately; and Jesus told him to go to his home, a home he didnât have when our story began. He was given the fullness of his life back. Remember, there are all sorts of powers out there; and all sorts of victories.

This is part of what Paul is talking about when he insists that, in Christ, âThere is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female.â Paul is saying that these distinctions, and others, these powers of the social, economic, ecclesiastical, and political structures â as ancient, hallowed, destructive, and potent as they were, and as they are â these are powers that will fall, and that have fallen, before Jesus. Their voices are not the strongest voices, and they will not have the last word. It is our vocation to oppose them, and by Godâs grace they should not, and ultimately they cannot, separate, isolate, define, or destroy us.

Because the love that Jesus is, and the love that Jesus brings, is stronger than anything, even the worst, the very worst, that the world can throw at us. Thatâs who Jesus is â thatâs what these stories are all about, thatâs the metanarrative or âbig story,â regardless of the categories and the worldviews we use to talk about them.

And that is good news.

Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By Camilla Nelson, Associate Professor in Media, University of Notre Dame Australia

Mary Ann Evans took the pseudonym “George Eliot” because she wanted to be taken seriously as a writer.

Other female authors – Maria Edgeworth and Jane Austen, for example – had penned work under their own names, but Evans feared that if her identity was discovered her books would be dismissed as “light” and “sentimental”.

Astonishingly, in an age of patriarchy, this was not the case.

Eliot’s reputation has grown steadily in the 200 years since her birth. And her Middlemarch (1871-2) is often claimed to be the greatest novel in the English language.

Eliot’s “incognito” was shattered shortly after her first bestselling novel, Adam Bede, was published in 1859. Critics were left marvelling not only that the author they collectively imagined to be a kindly country clergyman was a woman, but also that she was an atheist living openly with another woman’s husband.

In an age in which few women were educated or owned property, and few middle class women engaged in paid employment, Eliot overcame every obstacle.

She lived a scandalous life by Victorian standards. But she was one of Queen Victoria’s favourite writers.

And in the thousands of words that were to spill across the pages of the literary quarterlies about Eliot’s books, there was far less interest in salacious gossip than in the question of whether she had drawn a picture of the world as it “really” was.

No matter how much these 19th century – mostly male – critics attacked Eliot’s novels for their political and cultural heresies, it was obvious – indeed, astonishing – that they took them seriously as fundamentally important works.

A ‘great, horse-faced bluestocking’

Born in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, England, on November 22, 1819, the third daughter of Robert and Christiana Evans, Eliot was afforded the sort of education not usually granted to women in this period. She was not considered physically attractive, and her father believed this would severely limit her prospects of marriage.

In 1850, Eliot – then calling herself Marian Evans – moved from Coventry to London, determined to become a writer.

Just a few years before, she had published her English translation of David Strauss’s The Life of Jesus, Critically Examined. Notoriously, Strauss argued that the “miracles” of the New Testament were myths and fabrications. The Earl of Shaftesbury promptly castigated Eliot’s translation as “the most pestilential book ever vomited out of the jaws of hell”.

Eliot took up residence in the house of the radical publisher John Chapman, who appointed her assistant editor of the Westminster Review. She was deeply influenced by John Stuart Mill, particularly his groundbreaking essay on gender equality, Subjection of Women.

She sympathised with the 1848 revolutions on the continent. She held great hopes for women’s education. She supported female suffrage.

At this time, Eliot formed a series of attachments to married men, including Chapman and Herbert Spencer, before meeting the critic George Henry Lewes, with whom she shared a committed, life-long relationship.

George Henry Lewes (1817-1878) Wikimedia Commons

Lewes was married to Agnes Jervis, with whom he had three children. Unlike other unconventional literary liaisons of the period, Lewes and Eliot did not keep their relationship a secret.

Like so many other men, Lewes was drawn to the luminosity of Eliot’s intelligence. She had an awesome curiosity, an endless appetite for ideas.

Henry James famously characterised her as “magnificently ugly, deliciously hideous”.

And yet in his snarky, entitled way he also marvelled at his reaction to the force of Eliot’s personality. “Behold me, literally in love with this great horse-faced bluestocking!”

Her practical humanism

In 1854, Eliot translated Ludwig Feurerbach’s The Essence of Christianity, in which he declared God to be a figment of the human imagination. Instead, he wanted to think about what he called “species being” – that is, to consider what it means to think from the standpoint of being human, of being part of the wider social fabric.

Feurerbach’s ideas were fundamental in shaping the practical humanism that forms the beating heart of Eliot’s novels.

Eliot’s social consciousness, her vivid critiques of capitalism, are keenly displayed in her 1861 novel about a linen weaver, Silas Marner, and her 1876 masterpiece Daniel Deronda – a sprawling tale about a fatally self-absorbed heroine, Gwendolen Harleth, and the easy, ingrained prejudice of British society against the Jews.

Trailer for the television adaptation of Daniel Deronda.

But it is their capaciousness – perhaps – that is the real theme of Eliot’s books. Her novels are held together by elaborate patterns of imagery, threads of gossip, networks of feeling and connection, linking character to character.

Background scenes of the social world are interwoven with the deeper dimensions of private life and even the fabric of human consciousness, so the novelistic structure reflects the fragile, web-like ties that hold society together.

Her characters’ motivations may be ego-satisfying, self-deceiving, or concealed, even from themselves, or all of these at once. And the tangled paradoxes they encounter as they journey through their novelistic worlds force readers to reassess themselves and their perspectives.

Nobody, in short, does honesty or frailty quite like Eliot. If you read her work, and really pay attention, you will likely find out things about yourself you didn’t know, and maybe would rather not.

As Virginia Woolf famously declared of Middlemarch, it is “one of the few English novels written for grown up people”.

Middlemarch – the greatest novel in the English language

Middlemarch was published serially in eight parts at two monthly intervals from December 1871. It went on sale in December 1872 as four volumes for two guineas, selling 8,500 copies. But it was only when the cheap edition went on sale in 1874 that the novel found its real audience, selling another 31,000 copies by 1878.

The story – like those found in all Eliot’s novels – is multifaceted. It revolves mostly around Dorothea Brooke, an heiress who makes a terrible marriage to Edward Casaubon, a dusty clergyman, and the character of Tertius Lydgate, a London-trained doctor who wants to bring modern medicine to the Midlands, but chooses an unsuitable wife.

Trailer for the BBC adaptation of Middlemarch.

But the deeper theme of Middlemarch is the moral drama around the interaction between character and social environment that is fundamental to contemporary appreciations of 19th century realism – but was often merely puzzling to Victorian critics.

They loved the scale of the novel’s social panorama, “like a portrait gallery” that has been “photographed from the life”; they even came to see that it had, as the Times put it, a “philosophical power”. But they did not immediately grasp that it was Eliot’s most important book. They bemoaned it was not as “delightful” as Adam Bede, her earlier bucolic tale about – among other things – seduction, infanticide, class and education.

In Middlemarch, Dorothea has money; unlike in Austen, there is no threat of penury hanging over her head. Indeed, there is no need for her to marry at all. And yet she does.

She has freedom, up to a point. But her largeness of soul is circumscribed by narrowness of opportunity. Nor is provincial society entirely to blame. Dorothea yearns to do something; to achieve something; but she knows not what. This is her – and our own – tragedy.

When Dorothea, in all her married misery, is confronted by an extraordinary vision of a suffering human society, we encounter one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful passages in Eliot’s ouevre. She writes,

If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow and the squirrel’s heart beat, and we should die of that roar which lies on the other side of silence. As it is, the quickest of us walk about well wadded with stupidity.

This is the anguish that lurks in dark corners of Eliot’s novels – it is the measure of her greatness, and of our struggle to read her.

Dorothea’s quest for a substantial and meaningful life has resonated with the sensibilities of successive generations of feminists. How is she to achieve something? Where should she put her energies? How can she affect the lives of others?

We are all of us “Dorotheas”; all tragically yearning for something. As Virginia Woolf put it, Dorothea and the rest of Eliot’s heroines feel “a demand for something — they scarcely know what — for something that is perhaps incompatible with the facts of human existence.”

Where would you go if you won the $10,000 prize? We’ve been wanting to do a Washington DC trip, but we’ve also been thinking of going west to see the Grand Canyon and the Redwoods. My #1 vacation destination always involves a beach, but we’ve hit the beaches of the southeastern US quite a bit over the years. Maybe it’s time to branch out? Isn’t it fun to dream about vacationing?

Our Experience with Stitch Fix Kids

We’ve been using Stitch Fix Kids for almost a year now (check out this post and this other one to see some of the things we’ve received. My son doesn’t like to shop. He really doesn’t even like clothes that aren’t “sporty,” but he’s always excited when a new Kids’ Fix comes and he gets to try out new styles. I think just as it does for me, it helps him figure out specifically what styles he likes and doesn’t. Plus, it’s something that’s fun for both of us to do together!
