Free Tom Daschle: American Politics Hits Vocal Void

Today this space is going to defend Tom Daschle, who brought down hellfire last week for saying that the Bush terror war lacked "a clear direction," with its success "still somewhat in doubt." But before that solar eclipse occurs, we would like to draw into our bipartisan orbit at least one other Beltway fellow who was somehow seized last week with one of Washington's most forbidden desires: to say what he really thought. For this, he too got into trouble.

White House press secretary Ari Fleischer, speaking to reporters about the endless slaughter in the Middle East, said of the Clinton administration's diplomacy: "In an attempt to shoot the moon and get nothing, more violence resulted." Opinions may always differ, but the evidence on the ground over there suggests that Mr. Fleischer's random thought is only several degrees removed from saying the sun rises in the east. But before the afternoon was out, he had to reappear before the press corps, itself reacting as if it were mortified at this candor, to retract his remark; the reporters then wrote learned histories of other spokesmen this century, taken to the woodshed for saying something real.

Print newspapers providing trusted information for many African American communities

Posted at 4:40 PM, Feb 19, 2021
and last updated 2021-02-19 18:29:46-05

For many people of color, print newspapers are the most trusted voices in their communities.

“You can’t go into any other community and find papers like this,” said Maedella Stiger, who owns a barbershop in Denver’s historic black neighborhood of Five Points.

Stiger says all of the options for news these days, she still prefers print.

“You pick up this paper for free and it tells you the story,” she said.

Blacked-owned newspapers have been reporting issues impacting communities of color for decades and Brother Jeff Frad is continuing that coverage.

“We keep the tradition alive in terms of the culture, but then also the information and that’s why we continue to print news,” he said.

Frad is the publisher of 5 Star News, a monthly newspaper that focuses on issues impacting his community.

Right now, there’s more than 300 African American-owned newspapers nationwide, with most of them represented by the National Newspaper Publishers Association.

“Because of our longevity, this is where the trust comes from,” said Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr., president and CEO of the NNPA.

Chavis says from the civil rights movement to the recent fight for social justice, black-owned newspapers cover issues in ways other outlets won’t or even avoid.

“When a lot of times the mainstream press may not cover when all the lynching were going on, it was on was on front page of papers,” he said. “It was dependent on the Black press to get those messages out.”

While advancements in technology will evolve, print newspapers continue to be unique sources of information for readers like Stiger.

“It makes me feel great knowing that my people have come up with something that maybe no one else has,” she said.

The two business focus groups were set up after an event held at the WTO in May 2016 at the initiative of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and the B20, the business arm of the G20. WTO Director-General Roberto Azevêdo participated in the event, which brought together a wide-range of businesses – both large and small, from developed and developing countries. Building on the initial ideas raised during that event, business participants continued the work remotely in discussion groups led by Stormy Mildner, B20 Sherpa and Head of Foreign Trade Policy at the Federation of German Industries, and John Danilovich, Secretary-General of the ICC. This work culminated in two sets of recommendations, reflecting their priorities for the WTO.

DG Azevêdo welcomed the reports. He said:

“I would like to thank participants for their hard work and for their engagement in the WTO. These recommendations are a welcome addition to the ongoing discussions here in Geneva. They provide new perspectives and rich food for thought which could be very useful in members' deliberations. Now it is for members to consider these suggestions and decide whether and how they would like to take them forward.”

The first set of recommendations encourages WTO members to look into ways of creating a global ecosystem that better enables small businesses to access international markets and sell products online more easily. Additional highlights include the need for enhanced connectivity and capacity building in e-commerce. The report from the Business Focus Group on E-commerce and SMEs is available here.

The second set of recommendations calls for the revitalization of WTO trade negotiations and the rapid and effective implementation of the Trade Facilitation Agreement. They also seek to strengthen rules on trade in services, investment facilitation and regional trade agreements. The report from the Business Focus Group on Market Access, Services and Investment Facilitation is available here.

The two discussion group leaders, John Danilovich and Stormy Mildner, will continue to engage with WTO members in Geneva over the coming months on the basis of these reports.

The business event held in May 2016 brought together over 60 business leaders to discuss the challenges and opportunities they face in conducting trade operations and to discuss how the WTO can help in dealing with them. Participants were from small and large enterprises from developed and developing countries, representing a wide range of sectors. The event was held at the request of the ICC and the B20 group of leading independent business associations from G20 economies, and facilitated by the WTO.

It was part of the WTO's ongoing series of “Trade Dialogues” events. This series is bringing together a wide range of stakeholders, including labour organisations, consumer bodies and academics, to discuss a variety of trade-related issues.

3-car collision kills woman on I-10 E near I-510, sends 2 more to hospital, police say

The crash temporarily left the I-10 East closed from I-510 to US Highway 11.

NEW ORLEANS — A woman is dead after several cars collided Sunday morning on the I-10 eastbound near the I-510,  temporarily closing the I-10 East from I-510 to US Highway 11.

First responders arrived at the scene minutes before 4 a.m. to find three cars involved in the collision.

Investigators at the scene said a sedan driving east on the I-10 struck an SUV's passenger side. The SUV crashed into the center guardrail, moving several feet before stopping in the left lane, where a second sedan struck the SUV's rear.

A woman driving the SUV was taken to a hospital for treatment, but one of her two passengers, also a woman, was pronounced dead at the scene. NOPD said the third SUV passenger was a man but didn't specify his injuries.

A woman driving the second sedan, which struck the SUV's rear, was also taken to a hospital for treatment.

"The Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office will identify the decedent and determine the official cause of death, upon completion of autopsy and notification of family," an NOPD spokesperson said. "No further information is available at this time."

The man driving the sedan that struck the SUV first stayed at the scene of the crash, a spokesperson with the New Orleans Police Department's Public Affairs Office said.

NOPD Traffic Fatality Investigator Richard Chambers is in charge of the investigation and can be reached at 504.658.6208.

Western Window Systems Treats Employees to Star Wars Experience

Western Window Systems Treats Employees to Star Wars Experience
Jan 06, 2016

Since Star Wars hit theaters in 1977, the epic space tale has been collecting fans. One of the biggest is Scott Gates, president and CEO of Western Window Systems. With the recent release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Gates’ excitement has kicked into hyperdrive – and he’s managed to get the company in on the action.

“He’s not just a big fan, he’s a crazy-big fan,” says Leanne Harter, human resources coordinator.

Harter was involved in sharing Gates’ excitement about the new release by hosting several promotions that ultimately culminated in what is now being called “The Western Window Systems Star Wars Movie Experience.”

Harter says the Star Wars Experience idea took off when one of the company’s draftsmen proposed an excursion to view the movie. Through various raffles, along with Star Wars-themed trivia games at staff meetings, winners – about 50 lucky employees – will get to attend a private screening of the film. The company has rented out a local theater and the winning attendees will get a paid day off, free concession items, and gift bags full of Star Wars-related items.

Harter adds that the special event is just one way the company shows appreciation.

“We love to honor our employees; they work so hard. What I really like about this event is that it brings people from different departments together for an afternoon of fun.”

A summary of the types of chemical peel treatments available today

This article shows the uses and disadvantages of these acid skin peels and procedures.

The ever-increasing popularity of the beauty industry has brought facial rejuvenation to the masses. From the surgical to non-surgical, many are opting to take years off their look using some tried and tested treatments. For those who opt for a non-surgical boost to their complexions and reduce fine lines, chemical peels are a viable option.

Salicylic Acid

Salicylic acid is found in the willow tree’s bark and is used as a key ingredient in many of the skincare products around today. It increases the rate at which the cells of the epidermis shed, which in turn unclogs the pores and neutralises the bacteria inside. As it also restricts the pores, it helps to prevent them from getting clogged again.

When you are looking for an all-around ingredient to add to any hair care products that has proven and outstanding hair benefits then it would have to be emu oil. Without a doubt the characteristics of the oil are amazing with how it penetrates through both the hair follicles and the scalp. Most hair shampoos have ingredients that are designed to sit on top of the hair and scalp. They coat it and this in itself causes a lot of different problems. Dimethicone based products can wreak havoc on the hair. As a matter of fact, many products that are designed to heal dry hair and scalp contain this but instead they end being the reason why the scalp and hair growth is so dysfunctional and the main reason why the hair is dry in itself.

Dimethicone easily burns when flat irons and curling irons are used on it. This means that the hair has dimethicone on it that was deposited from hair products including shampoos and conditioners – well that is why the hair is dry in the first place. This leads to a nasty cycle of dryness on the cuticle and also on the scalp.

Why not use emu oil? It is the most amazing ingredient for hair. It contains omega 3s which are necessary for the matrix to create and multiply the cells needed for hair to grow. Emu oil also penetrates deeper than any other oil and is loaded with natural humectants to get hair its absolute highest moisture content. This comes from the inside out and not just coated on the hair. So, you get faster hair growth and you get a much higher-level moisture content. Emu oil shampoo and conditioner can do this and much more.So, why aren’t you tying this yet. And by the way the benefits don’t stop there. If keeping your natural hair color is important then emu oil should be one of the main ingredients in the shampoos or hair products that you are looking for. Omega 3’s has also been proven to combat the hormones in the scalp that cause hair thinning and loss in both men and women. The list goes on. But know this. If you want your hair to be its healthier and defy the appearance of aging, then you really need to try a good hair shampoo and conditioner with emu oil in it.

The marijuana plant derived from the Hemp Family has been talked about extensively for the longest time in history and has been a part of many historic tales in different parts of the world and has brought in a lot of curiosity for the longest time.  If it is safe for public consumption and whether or not it should be legalised has been a topic of debate and discussion for the longest of times and has divided opinions of people all around the world. Some believe that its regular use can alter the state of mind of its users in a very negative way while others believe that it is a catalyst for channelling the creativity of the human mind and offers plenty of medicinal properties as well.

 The plenty of researches conducted across laboratories and research centres around the world have accepted the medicinal properties of the plant and have also found how it affects the mind of a person. It has been found out that the consumption of marijuana in a prescribed amount can help you fight with various illnesses and can even help in the fight against certain types of cancers as well. However, the regular consumption of marijuana in heavy doses can create a few issues as well. There are certain withdrawal symptoms that can occur after a frequent consumption of marijuana in hefty amounts and it can also trigger some mental issues that you might be prone to. So, it is a substance that should be consumed with responsibility and only in safe limits in a comfortable environment.

After the sale and consumption of marijuana became legalised in many parts of the world, there has been a rampant growth in the cannabis industry and there has been so much innovation that has come up in the past few years. There are plenty of options available for the consumers with different needs and different tastes. You can choose from the traditional form of the plant that can be consumed through joints and pipes, through different edibles that are available in the market and even in the vapour form through electronic vaporisers.  Also, you can also buy High Grade Seeds in USA from the different online stores and retail outlets and grow your own marijuana plants. There are so many High Grade Seeds available in the USA that have made growing marijuana a very easy task in which you don’t have to spend too much time and energy and get access to high quality marijuana at a fraction of the cost from what is available in the market. All you to do is provide enough light to the plant and the process takes place in a very automated way.

We are all aware that the number of individuals infected with HIV or AIDS is increasing every day. In fact, there were about 36.9 million people acquired this infection in 2017 and that was according to the UNAIDS. Can you imagine how many more young and adult will suffer, knowing that the average number of people, who acquired it is 5,000 a day? It would be great, if your family and friends will support you because they can help you lessen the burden. You should be grateful, too, because there are individuals like Dr. Gail Barouh, who helps and supports care for this sickness.

Some people believe that there is no cure for this disease, while others are not losing hope that they can overcome this. Anyway, the technology is upgrading from time to time. And then, scientists and researchers do not stop finding more effective solutions to every illness. Therefore, we cannot really say that acquiring this will put an end to one’s life. This is what patients are thinking and another reason why they are depressed. Do you know is actually more depressing? When your family and friends started turning away from you.

The Disease

Acquiring an HIV or Human Immunodeficiency Virus is not easy to accept because this will damage the patient’s immune system. When this happens, you are vulnerable to sickness. An individual may acquire this through sexual intercourse as well as injecting needles that infected individuals used.

Now, this infection may later on lead to a disease called, AIDS or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. It may actually take a maximum of 10 years before it develops, if you are not undergoing a treatment. This happens when the CD4 or T cells in your body are already destroyed. These cells are supposed to be the ones to protect your immune system to prevent the infection. Because of this, the patient may get weaker and die over time. Go to for further reading on this disease.

Who is Dr. Barouh?

Anyway, Dr. Barouh has been just one of the many citizens, who is willing to help the patients. She had been the Long Island Association for AIDS Care’s CEO and a supporter to the LGBTQ Community. So, how can she help? Well, as an expert on Health Education Counseling, she has the capability and skills to talk to you, regarding your health issues and concerns, especially when it is related to this virus. She is an experienced doctor and understands very well all the suffering and struggles that you are facing.

In my opinion, this is an advocacy that can change the life of the million patients in the whole world. If you can only listen to her advices, then you will understand that you are in the toughest situation in your life, but there are no chances of not holding on. As a great adviser and a counselor, we should be like Dr. Barouh, who can motivate and cheer up the sick people.

How do patients manage their lifestyle?

Those who cannot accept the truth that they are suffering from this disease may look at this differently. They may continue doing various vices like drinking alcohol, taking drugs and smoking. Well, these activities will not be very helpful, since your body is getting weak. However, these lifestyle usually happens as anxiety increases and mental health issues arise.

During this time, you have to seek for an expert. Can doctors treat HIV/AIDS? There might be no certain cure, but a health care provider can change your outlook and views on this matter. It is normal to feel these feelings, that’s why the family members should extend help and give support. Managing the stress is quite difficult, especially when you are not given the right care and treatment.

There are also some of them, who accepted that they are carrying a virus. But this did not stop them from feeling down. Instead, they took this as an opportunity to do something better and productive. It would be great, if most of them thinks this way, so that they can spend more time with their family and friends. Most of all, more memories for their loved ones.

A Beginner’s Guide To Modalert

You have to remember the fact that Modafinil is one of the most popular and efficient cognitive enhancement drugs that you can find on the market. It works similarly as methylphenidate and amphetamines, but you will not get the same side effects with it.

In addition to this particular idea, Modalert is a version of Modafinil. Even though it is a more affordable solution than Provigil, you will still be able to get the same efficiency and quality without any additional hassle.

You will also get numerous options to buy Provigil online, but you have to conduct research and learn what to expect along the way.

What Is Modalert?

We have to start by saying that Modalert is a version of Modafinil that Sun Pharmaceuticals create. You can find it in 100, 200 and 400 milligrams, but have in mind that most pharmacies and vendors will sell you 200 milligrams.

At the same time, every single capsule comes with a crease in the middle, so you will be able to combine it into two 100 milligrams tablets in case you do not need such dosage.

When it comes to legal prescriptions, in most cases, doctors prescribe it for narcolepsy and ADHD. However, apart from handling chronic health conditions, great supplement will enhance your cognitive performance.

Remember that special forces and US military use it so that they can remain awake during long-hour missions. Besides that, students use it so that they can prolong study sessions during the final exams.

The idea is that you will be able to find it both in pharmacies, but you will need an appropriate prescription, or online.

Everything depends on your factors as well as recommendations you have, but we have shared link with you that will help you find vendors that will provide you with high-quality meds for alertness and awareness.

The main idea between these particular types of drugs is that you need a legal prescription so that you can purchase it in stores that surround you.

The same thing goes for all across the world, so it does not matter if you are in the USA, Canada, Australia, Europe or another part of the globe, because you will need a prescription to buy it.

On the other hand, you will have an option to buy it online by choosing vendors that are open to the public. By clicking here, you will be able to learn whether Modafinil is legal in the UK or not.

The primary difference that you will get between Modalert and Provigil is the price that you have to pay to get it. Chemically speaking, both choices are the same without any difference altogether.

However, people, especially students without a steady income, cannot afford paying fifty dollars to get a tablet of Provigil, which is why they choose Modalert instead.

Since the internet allowed us to have access to the entire world, the popularity of Modalert increased, and you can buy it without prescription for three dollars per tablet, which is a maximal price.

How To Order Modalert Online?

Have in mind that the process of buying Modalert online takes understanding, which is why you have to find a vendor that will ship it to your country with ease.

Remember that in some parts of the world such as China, UAE, and Japan, this particular drug is prohibited, which is why you will not be able to get it out there.

On the other hand, in places such as the UK, the USA, New Zealand, Sweden, and Switzerland among others, you will get everything you need and even more.

In some cases, border officials and officers will decide to confiscate the package, but since it is not illegal in general, you will not get penalties due to order.

Check out whether vendors feature refunds on orders in case of confiscation because that is a primary factor you should consider before choosing the perfect one. Even though it is inconvenient, most people do not experience issues while receiving it.

Of course, everything depends on the country you live in, because in Canada, for instance, they are notorious when it comes to checking the incoming mail, and they will confiscate everything they find before it reaches the destination.

The main goal of this particular med is to promote cognitive enhancement and wakefulness by targeting the brain’s neurotransmitters that will help you increase alertness in general.

These benefits are highly beneficial to numerous people. We have stated that it is popular among students, shift workers, writers, artists, and anybody who decides to handle tedious task or tough project.

How Does It Work?

You should remember that it will help you increase energy levels; reduce mental and physical fatigue for a few hours after consumption, which will give you an ability to perform repetitive or tedious assignments.

Finally, it affects motivation as well, which means that you will have an urge to learn for your finals.

It tends to bind to specific receptors, and since receptors are responsible for telling your body how to react and what to do, you will increase the overall efficiency of your mental and physical state.

This particular drug functions by affecting dopamine transport receptors that tell neuron how much dopamine they should reduce from your brain. Therefore, when you consume Modalert, it will start by blocking these receptors, which will prevent the decline of dopamine.

Since you will have more significant levels of this particular neurotransmitter, that will cause the same effect it features naturally, but with high efficiency and to a higher degree.

You can understand its uses and other information by visiting this site:

Apart from affecting dopamine receptors, it also improves wakefulness and cognitive function, but in a completely different perspective than illicit stimulants that are bad for your health such as cocaine or amphetamines.

It tends to increase levels of norepinephrine, orexin, and histamine inside of your brain, which are chemicals that will regulate your sleeping cycle as well as arousal. Since narcolepsy and ADHD sufferers feature low levels of dopamine, this is an excellent medication for treating their issues.

You have to follow instructions and always take recommended dosage on daily basis so that you can avoid overdosing and causing side effects due to over-consumption.

Weed is a mood-altering drug that comes from the cannabis plant, and as soon as you consume it, you will feel a rush of euphoria and other effects known as high. However, as soon as effects fade, the metabolites that you consumed that we know as cannabinoids will stay in your body.

The length that these metabolites will remain in your system depends on numerous factors and from individual to individual.

Therefore, when an employer wants to conduct drug screenings with the idea to measure the amount of THC metabolites, you will fail the test if you do not learn everything beforehand.

We recommend you check out this website: so that you can learn more on hair follicle drug tests and how to pass it with ease.

After one consumption, these metabolites will stay in your body for a few days, while if you are a frequent and chronic abuser, it will remain in your system for weeks and in some cases for months.

How Long Does It Stay In Your System?

C:\Users\Stevo Bujica\Desktop\TEKST\oregon-has-too-much-weed.jpg

Have in mind that cannabis compounds tend to stay in your blood between two and seven days based on the levels of consumption and other factors such as metabolism rate. At the same time, it may remain in your urine for up to two months.

According to most experts, if you are a first time user, you may test positive in up to four days from the last consumption. On the other hand, if you are smoking on a daily basis, you will have to wait at least ten days, while in urine it may stay for months.

You can find THC compounds in other parts of your body as well, such as fat cells. The amount of time cannabis will remain in your system depends on its location.

  • Urine – Urine drug tests are the most common choices for employers, which mean that you have to pass it if you wish to start working your dream job. You can find numerous examples online and stories that will tell you how many days THC will remain in the urine. If you are a heavy user, you may need to abstain from consumption and consume detoxification drinks that will help you along the way. Click here and you can find out more on THC in general.
  • Fat Cells – We have mentioned above that THC also enters fat cells of your body since it is fat-soluble. Therefore, your body may store it in body fat for weeks. That is the main reason why it is challenging to eliminate it from your system when compared with more illicit and problematic drugs. As soon as it enters the fat tissue, it will start spreading in your bloodstream.
  • Blood – When it comes to the bloodstream, you should have in mind that weed will remain inside between two and seven days based on the frequency of consumption. That is the main reason why blood tests are not relevant and accurate because they can only detect short-term usage.
  • Hair – Hair analysis became one of the most prominent ways of detecting long-term abuse of drugs as well as cannabis. Therefore, employers will test your strands with an idea to check out how long you have been consuming weed in the first place. According to most situations and user statements, you will need at least three months to cleanse your hair entirely after one consumption. That seems challenging to pass, but there are ways by using detoxification shampoos that will help you along the way.

Factors That Will Affect Cannabis Detection Times

All these statistics and numbers we stated above are just general predictions since detection times tend to vary from person to person based on numerous factors such as:

  • Dosage – The more you consume, the more THC will enter your bloodstream, which will ultimately affect the detection times and how long you need to cleanse yourself thoroughly.
  • Frequency Of Consumption – According to most studies, THC tends to remain in urine and hair the longest, especially after the oral ingestion. Therefore, you should know what you have consumed and how much before you can understand how long you need to abstain. Getting pot out of your system is not that simple and you should check out this guide: to help you along the way.

Metabolism Rate – If you have less body fat in your body and more muscles, your metabolism rate will be faster, which means that the process of cleansing and detoxification will happen in a shorter timeframe.

Synthetic Urine and Other Options to Pass a Drug Test

Drug tests have become more affordable and employers are looking at other options besides urine testing. For many years it was the main type but now the hair follicle test is becoming more popular. Still, many companies can’t afford it so they stick to traditional ways. Also, the ways to cheat have become better and most of the people who invest a little bit of time researching will have a high chance to pass it.

When it comes to fake urine, it can only be used for urine test of course and some people recommend it as the best way because you don’t have to put anything in your body. You only have to be sure that the tester won’t be suspicious and checking you thoroughly. It’s very easy to buy synthetic urine by visiting online stores that have a good reputation. Check a couple of reviews and ratings so you can be sure they aren’t fakes.

Drug Test Details

When it comes to the most common urine test, you need to know it can detect a variety of drugs including phencyclidine, opioids, methamphetamine, marijuana, cocaine, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, amphetamines and alcohol. Alcohol and marijuana stay in the system the least and you will have the best chances to pass them. It can also detect nicotine but employers won’t look for it in their employees. They will most likely look for marijuana, cocaine and alcohol.

There are two types of urine tests. The first one is an immunoassay and most people will use this one because it is much cheaper than gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. GC-MS is used as a follow up if they suspect you are cheating. So, you should always try to look normal and prepare on time. GC-MS is also more reliable so some companies that have strict rules about drugs and opiates will use it. These companies will have someone to supervise the testing so it can be hard to pass it.

Get more information here:

How reliable is the Test?

A good thing about it is that it uses cut-off levels. The people that fear the most are usually moderate users and don’t have much experience with cheating on this type of test. So, the urine test will only show the results as positive if the drug levels reach a certain point. If you smoked marijuana a couple of times in your life and one was a week before the test, you will pass it. Even some food main contain opium, coca or hemp so you can ask to do a test again and pass it.

If you are paranoid because your friends smoke a lot in your presence, you shouldn’t worry because this test won’t show positive results for passive exposure to drugs. Even if you used drugs recently it may happen that they don’t show up on the list because your urine has other chemicals that can mask it. Some detox drinks have those capabilities.

Using Synthetic Urine

The most important thing about using fake urine is not to look suspicious. It is the easiest way to pass the test you just need to follow simple guidelines. Hiding it properly will also depend on the kit you bought. Don’t waste money on a bad product. Buy the one that has a good belt so you won’t need to use tape. When everything is in place, you should check the temperature because it has to be body temperature if you don’t want to get caught.

Because the market is expanding every year, always look for quality synthetic urine. There are a lot of fakes that just don’t have every chemical like the real one. Most people will recommend liquid version over powdered because you don’t need to make the product. Try applying it at home to avoid any problems that may occur. You need to know if they will supervise the test which usually doesn’t happen but it depends on the company or occasion. Read more on this link.

Where to Get These Products?

Every detox product that can help you pass a drug test can be bought online. Always look for a trusted retailer that has a good reputation. If you don’t know some of them you can visit forums that have more information about drug tests or marijuana users. Most of these forums will have similar guides on how to pass the test and what products to use.

If you have a test every 6 months then you should get a larger bottle just read the expiration date. Other products besides synthetic urine also have an expiration date and some of them can be dangerous if you don’t follow the instructions or use the one that expired. If you find a cheaper option it doesn’t mean you will get lower quality, maybe the manufacturer isn’t that popular.

Detox Drinks and Natural Detox

If you used a stronger drug you might have to wait for a longer period of time to get it out of the system naturally. When marijuana is the case, which usually is, it will depend on how much you are using and how often. Your body type also matters because an obese person will most likely have it in the system longer. This won’t affect the outcome that much but it matters if you are looking to do it naturally.

Another important fact is the time you have until the test begins. Natural detox is the best option but if you have the test in a couple of days, it won’t work. A heavy user can expect that it takes around 30 days to be able to pass the test. Occasional users are safe after 3 to 4 days. THC doesn’t stay long so people that smoke every day can only be clean for a couple of weeks to get it out of the system.

If you just aren’t sure and you need to pass it then you should use detox drinks. They are the most efficient way if you don’t want to use fake urine because you are scared of getting caught. They can mask the THC if you use them a few hours before the test.

When I was growing up, I always wanted to be like Magneto from the X-men until I realized I was watching too much fiction. However, it would be such a cool thing if you can have that much power and you are able to control things with your brain, right? Unfortunately, this might never happen during your lifetime.

Well, we’ve had a couple of stories in the past about people moving things with their brains. But that’s the closest we can get, just “stories”.

Anyway, you can, however, increase your brain power to perform normal functions even better and faster. This process is called cognitive enhancement and there are many areas in which it has proven to be more beneficial. There are various ways in which you can be able to improve your brain power and below are a few of them.

Do I really need to stress much on why it is important to do regular exercise?  I believe we all know the benefits of regular exercising. Some of us will, however, still choose to do nothing about it. Instead, they will only give excuses, especially those who go to work.

How about you look at it this way, you can’t work for long or even efficiently without good health, right? Of course, increasing your brain power will increase your level of concentration and therefore becoming even more productive.

Not only does performing regular exercise improves your brain health, but it also boosts your memory. This might even go as far as protecting your brain against degeneration.

Among the trending topics in recent years, meditation is one of them. This is true, especially those on a busy schedule. The practice has been with us for quite some time, however, it is now that most people are starting to believe in the power of meditation.

For those using this technique, they most certainly know its importance and the benefits it has. Mediation is usually recognized as one of the ideal methods for dealing with stress as it helps to reduce the stress levels.

This practice can also protect you against some age-related disorders like dementia or Alzheimer’s. This is why it is always advised to sometimes take just about 10 – 15 minutes off your busy schedule and meditate. This will improve your cognitive abilities and thereby keeping you healthy.

I always thought drinking a cup of coffee in the morning is something that people always do just because they have to. Now I know the reason behind it. This ritual has been found to be quite advantageous when it comes to cognitive functions.

Even though the effects are short term, the caffeine inside the coffee will help you to stay alert. Also, it increases your level of concentration thus keeping you much focused however, tedious or repetitive the task is.

Drinking coffee can also improve your level of intelligence, your reasoning capacity and your reaction time. This will only last for a while but it can really help when it comes to brain functioning.

This is also another simple but very important activity that most people always take for granted.  Staying in the sun is also quite helpful. This can actually go hand in hand with exercising. Getting some sunlight is important for your brain as it provides you with vitamin D for better performance.

This can also help in slowing down your brain aging rate. In as much as you should be getting some sunlight, you should also know that too much of it can also be dangerous to the skin. Getting enough sunlight will always depend on your geographical location, the availability of the sun at different times of the year and your willingness to spend some time outside.

However, when you can’t get enough of it, you can always purchase vitamin D supplements. These should be taken with moderation as too much of it can also cause you some health complications. You can also find other cognitive enhancement supplements using coupon codes from sites like to make sure you get affordable but high-quality products.

Most people would often choose to be left alone, especially when they are faced with a problem. This might be fine when done only for a short period of time but not repeatedly for a long time. Well, in as much as this might let you focus more on the problem, it might not be a great idea when it comes to your cognitive abilities.

One can suffer from cognitive and psychological decline when you often feel lonely most of the time. This, of course, will have some negative impacts on your health. You will start experiencing some difficulties when you try to get some sleep, depression and an increase in your blood pressure among others.

Communication and building strong connections is important for your health as this will enable you to stay healthy and strong both psychologically and mentally for a long period of time.

Enough sleep

This is also another challenge that most of us have. Due to the fact that we have to work in order to find something to eat, the term “rest” doesn’t seem to be in most people’s vocabulary anymore. Also, with the high cost of living, many people are forced to sleep less and work more.

Taking that double shift will definitely interfere with your sleeping patterns. Enough sleep is usually an important part of your overall health as it improves body functionality. It also helps in having better memory and learning capabilities. Without enough sleep, your brain also gets affected and with time, you will start experiencing some of the negative effects.

When your memory and other cognitive functions are affected negatively, your whole body will not function properly resulting in poor health. This is why having enough sleep is important to both your brain and your general health.
With these tips, you can be able to keep your brain working at its maximum potential. This will help you to become more productive whether at home, in school or your place of work. You can click here to find out some other tips you can use to use to improve your brain health.

Love it!

Really like the wrap; found it makes a difference in my drying time. The wrap is soft and the colour is beautiful. It did take me a couple of goes to figure out how to use it - a link to a Shan video would be really helpful. I'm super stoked with the wrap and tempted to buy another one as I travel a lot and it'd be handy to have in my bag.

Love my hair wrap!

I was a bit skeptical as to whether this would just be another one of those fad things that work as well as just using a normal towel but boy was I wrong!! Not only does my hair wrap feel amazing, it also draws so much moisture out of my hair without my doing anything except putting it on and looping the button!

A god send!

I am in LOVE with this purchase. I have never found a hair wrap that fit around my head and I have finally found something that fits. I have a large head so can never buy hair wraps or hats in shops but this one is perfect! As well as that it dries hair amazingly and doesn't fall off my head like a towel would. This is the only one you will ever need :)

A memorial has been unveiled to the tragedy of Sir Edward Heath's 44ft Morning Cloud, which sank off the coast of Sussex in 1974

A memorial to a yachting tragedy that killed two young men on Prime Minister Sir Edward Heath’s Morning Cloud has been unveiled, 41 years after the accident.

The accident, which badly damaged and flooded the 44ft Morning Cloud 3, forcing her crew to abandon to a liferaft, shocked the sailing community and made headlines round the world.

The photo above shows the wreckage of the yacht after being salvaged later that month.

The bow section salvaged from the wreckage has been put on display at Sir Edward’s former home, Arundells, in Salisbury. It was unveiled by Sir Ben Ainslie on 15 May and serves as a reminder of the terrible events of night of 2 September 1974, and a memorial to the two men who were lost: Christopher Chadd and Nigel Cumming.

The tragedy happened off the coast of Sussex as the crew were delivering the yacht from Burnham-on-Crouch to Cowes. The yacht had been launched the previous year and had been successful at Cowes and Margate regattas. She was a Sparkman & Stephens design, build in wood by Clare Lallow in Cowes.

The skipper, Don Blewett, had been joined by six others, including Sir Edward’s godson Christopher Chadd, Nigel Cumming, Thurs Blewett, Gardner Sorum, Gerry Smith, Bob Taylor and Barry Kenilworth.

There was, Sir Edward noted in his autobiography, a forecast of bad weather at the beginning of the passage, ‘but the boat was well adapted for rough conditions.’

The crew set off in light winds, but when they crossed the Thames Estuary the wind strengthened, then decreased to about Force 6, so they decided to continue.

‘Past Beachy Head the wind increased again, to a Force 9,’ Sir Edward wrote. ‘The boat, as expected, was handling well and the wind, blowing south-west, was helpful at that point.’

At around 11pm on Monday 2 September Morning Cloud was hit by a large wave, which knocked the boat over. There was damage, but the yacht righted herself. When she did so, it was clear that two of the crew had been knocked overboard.

One was retrieved, but the other, Nigel Cumming, could not be found, even when the yacht was turned around and a search made. There was a broken lifeline on the port side where Cumming had gone over.

The skipper fired off several flares. Two failed, and third was blown downwind.

The search for Nigel Cumming continued until Morning Cloud was hit by a second large wave and again overturned. Christopher Chadd had been wearing a lifejacket but was not clipped on. He was swept off the deck and washed overboard.

Morning Cloud had been badly damaged and several of the crew were injured. Thurs Blewett had broken his shoulder blade and ribs, had a punctured a lung, and was in a bad way. Gardner Sorum was also wounded, and Gerry Smith was in great pain and later diagnosed with three broken vertebrae.

The yacht’s six-man liferaft had been swept away, and the situation was desperate. The yacht was taking in large amounts of water, and fearing that she would soon sink, Don Blewett called to abandon to the yacht’s remaining four-man liferaft.

The crew crammed into the raft and drifted. After eight hours of suffering in the raft, the crew were washed ashore near Brighton.

The body of Nigel Cumming was later recovered, but Christopher Chadd was never found. His loss affected Heath greatly.

The memorial will serve as a reminder to the tragedy. At the unveiling, Sir Ben Ainslie said: “It is my privilege to unveil the restored bow section of the third Morning Cloud… It serves as a reminder of the tragic deaths of Nigel Cumming and Christopher Chadd, but it is also an important addition to the unique collection of sailing-related trophies, paintings, models and memorabilia held at Arundells.”

Sir Edward’s home in Salisbury Cathedral Close, Arundells, was given to a trust after his death and is open to the public each week. It houses a fascinating collection of sailing and music memorabilia, below, as well as some political cartoons made during Sir Edward’s political career.

Dinghy girls survive the Arctic

by Georgina Hicks & Kath Broatch 22 Feb 2020 13:20 GMT
Two dinghy sailors swapped their sails for skis in the Arctic © Georgina Hicks & Kath Broatch

Two dinghy sailors swapped their sails for skis and completed a week long self-sufficient expedition in the remote Arctic wilderness.

Georgina Hicks who sails a Laser Radial and Scorpion (Queen Mary SC / Salcombe YC) and Kath Broatch who sails a Laser Radial and Fireball (Port Dinorwic SC) faced extreme conditions with temperatures down to -20 degreesC and wind speeds up to 40 knots.

It was all hands on deck with survival skills for the duo as they made fires, melted snow to drink and hauled all their equipment in sleds known as pulks over 100km and up a 1500m peak. Sailing banter kept morale up as they battled with capsizing pulks and made up rules for overtaking and windward pulk.

Back in the UK, they are planning their next expedition and racing their boats in the frostbite series with a new appreciation of frostbite!

It’s Probably in a Bin

It is very early in the morning, and I’m sitting here, drinking coffee, watching the day start – with the sun coming up, and Team Knit stirring as we get up and get going in four separate spots all over the city.  Funny to think that after this, we’ll travel together every day for a week.

(Yes. I am drinking coffee in the bath to save time. It’s efficient.)

I’m nervous.  I know I say that every year, and I know that people shrug it off – you’ve done it before, they say. You’ll be OK, they say.  The truth is that it doesn’t matter how many times you’ve done it, it just isn’t easy to ride your bike 660km.  (For my American Friends, that’s 410miles.) This year I compounded the difficulty by not training much.  There were so many times when I could do a job that would benefit the whole Rally, or just me (the training) and I opted for the former. I’ve spoken with lots of the former Co-Chairs, and they all say the same thing. They years that they embraced leadership were the years that they trained the least.  There just isn’t time, and opting for the Rally in general has absolutely seemed more responsible, right up until this minute when I’m thinking about putting my untrained arse on a bike and riding out of here.

There will be many times over the course of the next week when everyone on Team Knit steps up to a Leadership role, and each of us has our own reasons for doing so.  I won’t speak to the rest of Team Knit, but I can tell you that the things my mother taught me have been figuring largely in my reasons for riding my bike this year. My mum believed, wholeheartedly, that the world was  a different place for women than it is for men.  When I was a younger woman I thought that she was a tad extreme in these beliefs, but the older I get, the more that I see that it’s true. I feel now the way my mum did, that there is absolutely no reason to be bitter about this, but she was rather firm that you couldn’t just… ignore it.

So, when my mum died, I thought about giving up the Co-Chair gig. (Don’t tell that to Ted – the other half of Co-Chair equation) I thought that it wasn’t going to be my best self, and that someone else would be better at it, and I thought a lot about quitting, and then something started to happen.  I started going down to PWA. I started doing the work. I started looking around and listening and realizing that there was something going on, and that thing was that when I went to PWA? The place is full of women and children.

 HIV/AIDS is now regarded mostly as a chronic disease that largely has to do with gay men, and that couldn’t be farther from the truth.  While it’s true that we’ve got treatment now for a great many people who have HIV/AIDS, the regime is expensive, difficult to comply with, and hard to access for many people who are living complicated lives – the primary risk factors for HIV/AIDS are now poverty and lack of power.  (Here’s a great example, in Saskatchewan (that’s a province in the middle-ish of Canada) 79% of the new cases of HIV are in indigenous people.)
We see this in the shifting client base at PWA. These days almost 30% of PWA’s clients are women and their children.
The truth is that if one of the main risk factors for HIV/AIDS is poverty and a lack of power, than it is only going to continue to disproportionately affect poor and dis-empowered women since we haven’t solved that whole equality problem yet. I could (and have) go on forever about this topic, about how robust the solution to this problem needs to be – how diverse we have to think, and when I think that? I hear my mum. I hear her problem solving, her ideas, her knowledge that communities fix things, and investing in communities is always helpful, and her belief that if you have some money or power (or both) you have a responsibility to get firmly on the side of people who do not. My Mum wouldn’t have wanted me to quit being Co-Chair because she got sick and died.
So, this morning will be the first time that my Mum hasn’t been with me for departure. Last night was the first time she didn’t call to see if I was ready, or text this morning to ask (for the 387time what time departure is. (Geez Mum it’s 9am the same every year.)  I’m going to go invest in this community, and I’m going to trust that investment to carry me.  I’m going to put my love and care in Team Knit, in Ken, and Cameron and Pato, and believe that they’re going to do the same thing, that we’ll get through it together, if we stick together. I love those guys, and they love me.
Team Knit wants to thank you too for all of this.  Each of us is at our (public) goal, though each of us has hopes and dreams and a private goal we haven’t disclosed, and we’re still hoping to reach.  We have you to thank for it. We put our energy, time and money towards this problem, ad you did too – and we can’t thank you enough.
You are the only reason Team Knit makes a difference, and we’re so, so grateful.
We love you. Thank you.
If you find an extra fiver hanging around this week, or you decide that something in your life can be rearranged a little bit to redistribute some power and luck in the world, Team Knit remains:
Me                         Ken
Cameron                Pato
(PS. Kim at Indigodragonfly summed all of this up so well, when her fundraising colourways for the Bike Rally this year were to honour her mother, and mine.  Kim knows a ton about redistributing luck and power. She’s awesome.)
(PPS. I don’t think I can blog over the next week, but follow me on instagram and I’ll try to show you everything. I’m @yarnharlot.)

  1. Good Morning Dear Stephanie and Team Knit,
    I so admire your commitment and your determination to help those with less.
    Wishing you all the best on your ride with sunny skies and the wind at your back!

  2. Just watched the whole group of 400 +/- on CP24. Everyone at Nathan Phillips Square prior to leaving. I am currently about 900 miles east so glad to have local TO City and CP24. I looked for your team in the crowd but no luck. Race on and good luck.

  3. May the wind be at your backs! You are doing such an amazing job! I have driven support for my husband and his buddy on the Bike Ride Across Nebraska, about the same distance over the same time. When you get home, you should read “Blood, Sweat, and Gears” it’s about a family doing an epic bike tour together. Simply amazing.

  4. I’ll echo the above sentiments. Be safe. Ride like the wind. I’ll be thinking of you all, Team Knit. Thank you for riding, and thank you for spreading awareness. We’re proud of all of you.

  5. Thank you, Stephanie, for this post. As we in the U.S. deal with the increasing noise about “bootstraps” being all one needs, it is important to continue to expose the underlying, systemic causes of illness, poverty, and what those from a privileged vantage point label “failure.” I wasn’t going to donate this year — not because I don’t care, but because I have been funneling as much money as possible to other good causes — but I will now.

    Ride strong!

    • Re: your reference to people thinking that others should pull themselves up by their bootstraps —
      “people who think they pulled themselves up by their own bootstraps often forget that someone had to make the boots.”

  6. Sending you all the love and good vibes for a ride with the best weather and the cushiest bike seat. You’ve got this!

  7. I admire your strength and determination! Your mom is smiling down at you I assure you saying “that’s my girl!”. Ride safely!

  8. This post, with the entire team’s early morning picture’s, just broke my heart wide open. Have a great ride!

  9. You’ve got this. Also, your mum is there with you… she lives on through you, your girls and little Elliot Tupper…. Also think about this, how many kids get to say they have a cool grandma who rides her bike over 400 miles every year to raise awareness to help others? Each time someone sees your posts and sees you busting your butt to help others, you’re inspiring someone out there…

  10. Oh my God! Four hundred and ten miles. I’m in shock. Twenty miles is a long way. You are in my prayers. I was wondering why we could see your bare shoulders, and then you wrote that you were drinking coffee in the bathtub. I do that sometimes, too. Best of luck on your journey. I’m a bit worried about you. I used to dance professionally, and we trained for hours each day. Please be careful. Our bodies change as we get older. That kind of stress can really cause problems. (I had a rude awakening at 50. No cartilage left in either hip.) I am rooting for you and your team…

  11. Have a great week, Stephanie, and remember: while there is no way to really count, you and I both know that there are a LOT of Moms (and Dads) following you with their Mom and Dad hearts. (Including me!) Be safe: ride like the wind! And hugs to you and your golden team.

  12. Ride well Team Knit! The Blog will be watching, Stephanie, and cheering you on. May your bum stand up to this challenge! 🙂 Are you taking some knitting?

  13. I don’t remember how long I’ve been reading your blog but I’m proud to have supported your efforts with PWA during that time…. and as usual your post just before heading out has encouraged me to make a second donation. Looking forward to reading how your ride went – good luck!

  14. Good luck and a good ride!
    You truly are amazing. Thank you for sharing your life and sorrow and joy with us. You are inspiring.

  15. I am cheering you all on from afar this week. I know you’re worried about how much you trained, but your heart is fully in this, and that’s the most important muscle.

  16. You go girlfriend! It’s going to be hard, but you can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I also made a donation in your honor to keep you moving forward :0)

  17. OK. I haven’t contributed, but I’ve found myself in Montreal these past few days thinking about you and the rally, and where you all will be entering the city, and how cool it is that Justin Trudeau knows what you are doing, and how much you do all year every year. So when I get home in two days, I am contributing. If you can get through all that’s been thrown at you this year, plus write a blog that entertains and informs, plus take a leadership role in the rally, plus all the private things you must do to love and support a family, then I can use one of my fingers to tap the proper keys and send some money to your team.

  18. We were driving from Trenton (well, actually, from Whitby) to Picton today, and saw so many cyclists, signs, people cheering. I wondered if it was your rally–but I thought that makes quite a long detour through the island. Now I feel bad that we got a little annoyed with having to go so slow because of so many cyclists. Our fun day trip is nothing compared to what you were doing, and the reasons and people you do it for! If I had realized, I would have tried to be there earlier and have a sign or something!

  19. ” ….and her belief that if you have some money or power (or both) you have a responsibility to get firmly on the side of people who do not.”
    I read this and got out of my lethargy to donate to a cause I have been meaning to support for a month or so. It’s one closer to home in the UK, and I’m grateful for what you wrote.

  20. All of you are amazing – I want to be you guys when I grow up. So much support and warm thoughts from Australia on your epic ride!

    Thank you for being you and doing your thing.

  21. I hope our donations are binging your phone again this year and keeping you motivated on your massive trip.
    I’m sorry I couldn’t donate more, but I know it all helps.
    Have a safe trip and we’ll be thinking of you and all those with HIV/AIDS who you are helping!

  22. Your Mum is right; things are different for women, and one cannot ignore them.
    I was thinking of the traditional Irish blessing for travellers, when I realized that “May the road rise to meet you…” may mean something different to a bicyclist! So, just, “May the wind be ever at your back, and may all roads be flat”, is as far as I’ll go.
    Best wishes from North Carolina, US, with a niece and grandniece (who is wearing a hand spun, handknitted cap) in Toronto. Donation made, and thank you.

  23. So I went to the Brockville Railway Tunnel this afternoon and saw a gazillion riders and welcomed them all. A sweet young man named Dallas pretended to be a knitter . . . Stay. safe everyone!

  24. I love you, and all of Team Knit. I think it’s so amazing that Pato is still riding, that Ken got you all into this (that Ken, he’s a great instigator, I’m forever grateful he gifted you the Blog), that Cameron learned to knit and is part of Team Knit, and I know your mum would be so very proud of you.

    All the riders in the Rally are magnificent and I’m so glad to donate a little money to Team Knit. Goodness is real, and kindness, and generosity, and you guys inspire me so, so much!

  25. I gave weeks ago, and I can’t find anymore to give right now, but I still wanted you to know that this post moved me to tears. You all have made so much money to help the people that need it most. Thank you for loving people and giving so much of yourself to the world, and for pushing back harder when strong people would give up.

  26. Congratulations on another successful bike rally. I just checked your team’s donations and it looks like you topped $100,000.00!!
    You rock!

  27. I found another fiver for each member of your team! Congratulations on completing the ride, you are an inspiration!

    • I keep looking and thinking – nope, she’s still in the bath.
      And she might be! 😀
      I’d still be in a coma if I’d done what Stephanie did.
