Purchasing Bulk CBD oil at wholesale in Ramah basis is not an easy task. There are many things to consider when doing so. In fact, the cost and quality of the oil would depend on the plant it is extracted. Another factor that has a direct impact on the price of the product is the quantity of Wholesale Bulk CBD oil produced by the plant.

CBD oil is one of the most important oils on earth. In fact, industrial hemp oil is not a drug as most people would think. The THC content in this oil isn't significant enough to produce any psychotropic effect. Our oils are 100% made in the USA and don't contain any THC. Many people might come across industrial hemp oil when searching for cannabidiol (CBD) oil to purchase.
Hence, CBD wholesalers in Ramah need to do their homework and get to know what exactly are their clients searching for. There are numerous fake CBD oil wholesalers in the United States, Canada, and the UK for that matter. More than 90% of wholesalers offer low-quality oils with a purity levels.

Our prices are quite economical compared to other so-called CBD wholesalers on the market. In fact, most of these people are middlemen or brokers who drive the prices up. That's why you need to buy from the producer if you want the best oil at an affordable price. A one-stop shop is the best place to purchase your CBD materials, oils, and get them shipped to your doorstep. That way you get a high-quality product at a price you could easily afford. One disadvantage of hemp oil is it hasn't been extensively tested on humans as yet. Although hemp oil is likely to have health advantages to humans, it is not established properly by the medical fraternity.
You don't have to visit our shop in person to buy the product. That will help you save time and money in the process. You should extensively research the drug store before buying your products. Remember, there are many scam traders posing off as legitimate drug sellers online.
Since CBD is a natural oil, it is safe to be taken orally. We offer bulk quantities of CBD hemp oil to all our deserving consumers out there. In fact, we are the leading provider of wholesale CBD oil products on the market.

If you would like to purchase this type of CBD oil on a wholesale basis, you need to keep in mind that the cost and high quality of the oil depends on the plant it comes from. Another significant issue is the quantity of the oil that the plant produces. This oil is the most used critical oil on earth. Industrial hemp oil is not a drug. There is also not enough THC contained in it to produce a psychotropic effect. Our oils specifically have No THC and are therefore 100% USA. Many people might come into contact with industrial hemp oil when looking for cannabidiol oil (CBD) to buy. Therefore CBD Oil wholesalers need to do research to ensure you understand exactly what you are searching then selling ultimately to your customers. In the United States, there are many very low quality, fake CBD oil wholesalers, and many sell CBD oils from Canada or the UK.
Why Buy CBD Wholesale From Hemp Genix?
They offer very economic rates, specially when compared with other so-called CBD Wholesalers who are actually middlemen (referred to as Brokers) that drive the expense up. It is an ideal way of saving money by going to the farm directly as soon as possible, or even better to get all of the raw CBD Materials, CBD Oil Drop Shipping, Order Fulfillment and Private Label CBD Manufacturing that you need all from one place. You won't have to give up your regular prices to buy it. The advantages offered by hemp oil hasn't been analyzed extensively in humans, so although it likely does have advantages, they have not been established medically and are not ensured.
It isn't necessary to visit in person to shop. That will help you save even more money. To ensure that you avoid scam drug stores, make sure you thoroughly research web drug store websites. It can also be found easily in a local supermarket all throughout the year.
Since all of its components are natural, it is completely safe to take orally. It is possible to find the product either at a shop or on the web. If you would like to purchase bulk quantities of CBD hemp oil products, contact Hemp Genix to obtain specific prices. Hemp Genix is the leading company for Wholesale CBD Vape Oil Products.

Looking at CBD, you will find that a lot of the research is still in the early stages. However, thanks to the changing laws in a number of places, there are more people starting to realize the many medicinal benefits that hemp has. CBD pain relief cream is something that has been able to help a countless number of patients within the United States who live in areas where marijuana has been legalized to get great benefits.
While many people have often immediately gone to the idea that marijuana is mostly known for THC content, researchers have been working hard to identify many of the other components of the plant that can be beneficial to a wide range of patients. It is more important that ever that you get your CBD pain relief cream from an authorized manufacturer and a distributor that you can trust. Every state that has legalized medical marijuana has rules in place regarding the making and distribution of any creams like this. It is best to look into the laws and guidelines where you live to be sure that there are products available that you can buy that adhere to these rules and guidelines.
When it comes to such a cream, you also need to understand how much of the cream you should be using and the best way to apply it. The ingredients get absorbed into the skin, so it may be hard to determine the right dosage in the beginning. Some people will recommend the use of a chart that helps you to track progress with any cream. For example, you can make notations on your pain level with each application.
While you are noting the use of the cream, write down how much you are using and the brand. You can then record how you are feeling after about fifteen minutes and up to an hour later. Keep a log like this and you will find that you have a good bit of quality information that you can refer to on the dosing and how your body may be reacting. Proper monitoring of all application locations will help you to get a better idea.
CBD pain relief cream can be used in a number of states where it is now legal, and it can help to give you a great deal of comfort and freedom from the pain that has been holding you back on a daily basis.

This video zooms in on distant galaxy cluster MACS J0647+7015, or MACS J0647 for short. Astronomers used this massive galaxy cluster as a giant cosmic telescope to uncover the farthest known galaxy in the universe to date. The newly discovered galaxy, called MACS0647-JD, is very young and only a tiny fraction of the size of our Milky Way. The remote object is observed 420 million years after the big bang, when the universe was 3 percent of its present age of 13.7 billion years.
This is the latest discovery from a large program called the Cluster Lensing And Supernova survey with Hubble (CLASH), which allows astronomers to use the gravity of massive galaxy clusters to magnify distant galaxies behind them, an effect called gravitational lensing.

Our form of government depends on an informed public. But currently the gap between what the public wants and what the public knows is huge. Democrats in Congress have an opportunity this week to draw sharp contrasts between the parties, so voters can be made aware of the choice this November. They owe it to the public to help them make decisions. Choosing to avoid votes is a choice to hide this information from the public, and allow the misinformers to prevail.
What the public wants:
1) American Manufacturing: This summer the to learn what the public understands about American manufacturing. According to the poll,
A majority believe the U.S. no longer has the world's strongest economy—a title they want to regain Voters are anxious about the economy—specifically China debt, spending and loss of manufacturing 86% of voters want Washington to focus on manufacturing, and 63% feel working people who make things are being forgotten while Wall Street and banks get bailouts Two-thirds of voters believe manufacturing is central to our economic strength, and 57% believe manufacturing is more central to our economic strength than high-tech, knowledge or financial service sectors Across all demographics, voters' economic solutions center on trade enforcement, clean energy, tax credits for U.S. manufacturing and replacing aging infrastructure using American materials, a surprising overlap between Tea Party supporters, independents, non-union households and union households.
2) Good jobs with benefits: Just ahead of Saturday's One Nation Working Together march and local events (please click through and see how you can add your voice) the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) has released the results of a poll conducted by Lake Research. This poll shows that the American public is overwhelmingly in favor of government action that addresses income inequity and that seeks to level the playing field for all American workers. UFCW writes about this poll here. The results can be seen in Powerpoint slides here.
A chance to show the public:
Chinese Currency: This week the Congress can vote on a bill to push China to stop manipulating its currency. If China's currency were at market rates goods made here would be more competitive in world markets, and this rebalancing would help Chinese businesses and people decide to purchase goods made in America.
Offshoring: Congress is voting on a bill to change tax policies and discourage companies from sending jobs out of the country. The bill gives U.S. employers a two-year break from payroll taxes on wages paid to new U.S. workers performing services in the United States. The bill also bill discourages companies from shipping jobs abroad by eliminating certain favorable tax rates.
Tax cuts for the rich: Democrats are deciding whether to vote on giving the middle class a tax break, while ending the Bush-era tax cuts for the rich. The public deserves to know where candidates stand on this.
Democrats are leading in the right direction on currency, on manufacturing and on jobs. But it is important to TAKE THE VOTES, so the public can see for sure who is for things and who is against things. The voting matters as much for what the public understands, not whether it will pass, tells the public that there are politicians who get it. Theater matters because the public, in a democracy, must know where their representatives stand. And voting for smart policies, pas or fail, is not just theater, it is doing the right thing.
Taking these votes combines smart politics and smart substance and it is smart before an election. The public deserves to know.

Big12Sports.com Correspondent
LAWRENCE, Kans. – Allen Fieldhouse is billed as college basketball's best home court advantage. The legacy videos played before and after the Kansas starters are announced whip the 16,300 in a frenzy that raises the sound level to sand blasting levels.
After another Jayhawks victory over another visiting team, there will be another clip added to the highlight reel that might raise as much noise as does Mario's Miracle, the 3-pointer by Mario Chalmers that helped KU win the 2008 national championship.
No. 24 Baylor, playing in its yellow highlighter jerseys, were zoning out on defense and zoning in from 3-point range. The Bears were giving the impression that winning here for the first time was possible. But the eighth-ranked Jayhawks pulled away for a 78-68 victory on Big Monday thanks to a hustle play that was No. 1 on SportsCenter's top 10 plays of the day.
The Jayhawks (14-4, 5-0) had gone up 51-44 thanks to five consecutive points by sophomore Perry Ellis. After Baylor's Royce O'Neale missed a 3-pointer, the Jayhawks started a fast break that ended with a bad pass that was batted toward the stands opposite of KU's bench.
Freshman Wayne Selden Jr. gave chase and dove head first over the first row, landing in the third row after flipping the ball back toward the court. Replays showed that his foot was out of bounds, but …
"That was a great play," said Baylor's Brady Heslip when told that Selden had been out of bounds. "He deserved it … great hustle."
A great play became a highlight because Selden's blind flip found Joel Embiid, who curled in a five-foot jump hook for a 53-44 lead that forced a Baylor timeout at 11:08. The save was part of a 14-2 run that gave the Jayhawks a 14-point lead.
"That was a great possession for us as a team," said Ellis of Selden's save/assist.
Selden joked that he saw Embiid because he has eyes in the back of his head. "I didn't know who would get it," he said. "I just had to get the ball."
The fans on the first few rows got a little something extra for the price of admission. Selden, after watching a replay a couple of hours after the game, Tweeted: "Apologies go out to the guy that caught the foot to the face!"
Baylor (13-5, 1-4) lost its third consecutive Big 12 game but probably played better than it has in the three losses. The Bears made 13-of-27 shots from 3-point range with Heslip channeling Phil Forte and going 6-for-9.
Coach Scott Drew started Taurean Prince in place of Gary Franklin, giving the Bears four players 6-6 or taller. Their zone had the wingspan of a 747. The Jayhawks had to be patient in their half-court offense and that kept the game's pace at a school-zone speed.
"Kansas can be devastating when they get out and run," said Drew, whose team trailed 37-35 at halftime. "We knew it was a 40-minute game. What's tough about playing here is you can't let them get separation. We made a couple of turnovers and the next thing you know, you're down double digits."
Ellis scored 16 of his 18 points in the second half, showing more aggressiveness against Baylor's bigs. He made the second-best hustle play for Kansas. His steal, dunk and free throw pushed KU's lead to 51-44 and preceded Selden's play.
"That was one of the key plays of that spurt and Perry needed something good to happen because he had been laboring," Kansas coach Bill Self said.
"I wasn't being aggressive," Ellis said. "Coach let us know, Andrew (Wiggins) and I that we needed to pick it up."
Wiggins, coming off his worst game (three points) in Saturday's victory over Oklahoma State, scored 11 of his 17 points in the second half. He scored nine consecutive points over a three-minute span before Ellis tallied the Jayhawks' last seven.
Kansas, which is trying to win its 10th consecutive regular-season Big 12 championship, has started 5-0 in five of the last six seasons. The Jayhawks also became the first team since North Carolina in 1996-97 with four consecutive victories over ranked teams. It was the first time in Kansas history that it has defeated four straight ranked foes.
"I like where we're at," Self said. "Considering after San Diego State, losing at home, to flip it and play like we did three days later against Oklahoma and get it going, we showed some toughness. We've definitely played better over the last five games than we have all season long.
"I think we're a tired team. Five games in 12 days against good competition ... I think we're a little fatigued."

Any new gun law in the Northeast corridor can have far-reaching implications.
If I lived in New Jersey, I'd be committing more than 100 felonies, 24 hours a day.
The Garden State's stringent regulations on the types of firearms, magazines and ammunition it allows would criminalize most of my collection, especially the modern sporting rifles, standard-capacity magazines and controlled-expansion ammunition.
Possession alone is enough for criminal charges "up north." No criminal intent is required. New Jersey even regulates Airsoft guns, which for those unfamiliar with Airsoft, are toys.
New Jersey isn't alone. There is a growing schism in this country — a new divide of sorts between the haves and the have-nots.
In this case, it's got nothing to do with money.
It's got everything to do with individual rights and personal freedoms.
While it would be easy to engage in a bit of southern Schadenfreude regarding our northern brothers, don't.
What happens in the Northeast can affect all of us, and besides, it's harming good people.
Just ask Shaneen Allen.
Allen is a 27-year-old single mom from Philly, who had a valid Pennsylvania concealed carry permit. She strayed across the border into New Jersey last year, was subsequently stopped by police, and told the officer she was armed with a .380 Bersa Thunder.
She was arrested and charged with unlawful possession of a weapon and armor-penetrating bullets.
She's now facing a three-year mandatory minimum sentence.
Sure, as a concealed carrier she should have known where her Bersa was welcome and where it wasn't, but not every armed citizen is as schooled in the law as they should be, especially those who work long hours to put groceries on their table for their two kids.
Her criminal case is pending, and a legal defense fund has been established: (http://gogetfunding.com/project/shaneen-allen-legal-defense-fund).
Any new gun law in the Northeast corridor, such as Maryland's recent ban on more than 45 types of "assault weapons," can have far-reaching implications.
They can serve as a dangerous template for politicians in other states who often cut-and-paste gun control statutes from other jurisdictions, especially if they have been vetted by the courts.
How many times have lists and descriptions of firearms taken from California's overly harsh gun laws surfaced elsewhere — renamed and repackaged but still as goofy and severe?
A large section of the country that's unfriendly to guns — and most Northeastern states are far from gun friendly — raises travel concerns for gun owners, since even driving through certain states with a firearm is perilous. It makes relocating for a job difficult, vacations with firearms are impossible, and it is driving business away.
Beretta is fleeing Maryland for the greener confines of Tennessee. So far, dozens of firms have voted with their feet.
You would think that the loss of thousands of jobs throughout the Northeast would have slowed down the region's drive for stricter gun laws. In fact, it only seems to have emboldened lawmakers.
Massachusetts is debating a bill that would allow police chiefs to determine whether someone can own shotguns and rifles — a first of its kind.
And don't forget Washington D.C., where both concealed and open carry were legal for just three days, before a federal judge issued a 90-day stay on his own ruling: the judge essentially overturned himself for three months.
The disparate treatment gun owners receive throughout the Northeast strikes at two of the fundamentals of American law: reasonableness and fairness.
While these unreasonable restrictions on type and capacity may be legal under state law, they are certainly far from fair, and definitely violate the "shall not infringe" wording on a very special document, which predates all of the Northeast's recently-enacted gun laws.
– If we don't run into each other at the range, you can reach me at (941) 361-4975, by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by regular mail, 1741 Main St., Sarasota, FL 34236. You can also follow me on social media at www.facebook.com/TheGunWriter or www.Twitter.com/

Moran sees drones
in farming's future
Sen. Jerry Moran predicted at an unmanned aircraft demonstration Tuesday in Salina that drones will contribute to U.S. agriculture, with Kansas poised to lead the way.
"There is real potential for this platform to be used responsibly and safely in an industry already booming in Kansas: agriculture," he said. "The number of ways farmers and ranchers can utilize them are endless, from mapping the spread of disease or insects within a field to applying fertilizer to a specific area of crops, and I look forward to continued progress in this field.
Agriculture is expected to be the biggest market — perhaps 80 percent — for unmanned aircraft, according to a study by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International.
Drones could be a low-cost way to spray for pests and diseases, analyze soil patterns, and check crops for signs of drought and blight. They could save farmers costs of hiring or operating manned aircraft.

Soon after Ted and Lisa first moved here they began helping a teen mom, Sinese, by giving her a job and helping her with her education. She also worked at the guesthouse sometimes and cooked for the feeding program for a while. She became a member of the Hojara family and a good friend of mine as well. Yesterday Lisa and I walked with Sinese to see her house and family. It was about a fifteen minute walk where we saw many crumbled homes and tent cities. Along the way, a guy called out to Sinese, "Can you get me one of those white people?" Not creepy, just inquiring. We crested a hill and arrived to see a beautiful view of more homes, merchants, tap taps, and people. Suddenly we arrived at a tent city. Sinese pointed to one, indicating it was hers. Lisa and I'd forgotten that Sinese was still living in a tent since the earthquake. Seeing that your own friend lives here and is taking care of her three year old daughter, as well as three sisters, all on her own, is very distressing. What might these children be seeing or experiencing while Sinese is gone working during the day? Are they out of harm's way? How hot does it get at night sleeping in a tent? Is the area safe for girls and women? Thankfully, Sinese says that her tent neighbours are all friendly and keep quiet at night. As for the rest, we don't know. We walked a short ways and came upon Sinese's daughter, Jersey, and Sinese's three sisters, Modlin, Modlen, and Finese. Sounds like they are two sets of twins, right? Wrong. We drank some water together, checked out Sinese's intact house that she informed us she was ready to move back into, and chatted with the girls for a bit. Walking back down, we bought hot dogs on the street with some SERIOUS hot sauce and mayonnaise slathered on it, mangos, and more water. Again, "Where can I find me some white people like those?" was asked of Sinese.
Today, Lisa came back from the girls' home with her hair all slicked back in a ponytail. At first I thought nothing of it, but then she explained how much "pomade" (like vaseline) they'd put in it. The closer I looked, the more I continued to laugh. Why don't they like volume in our hair? Why do they like to put braids in my hair even thought it makes me look like a freak, like some Haitian or African wannabe? The girls look gorgeous and amazing, but I, on the other hand.... I love having my hair brushed, but I refuse to let the girls put braids in my hair. As Lisa was walking to the boys home, she passed the Manasseros' son, Kenny. She called down the street to me, "Ask Kenny what he just said." Kenny said, "I said she looks so beautiful!" What is it with the greasy haired look? So when I went over to the girls home this afternoon, I commented on Lisa's hair: "It's so beautiful!" "Isn't it?" they said. Chabine picked up a comb and said she was going to make my hair straight. Translation, in my head: Frizzy and ugly. But hey, at least I'd get my hair brushed.
Also today, a couple of visitors gave our kids more vaccines and Ashley and I helped with the hand holding and chasing down of kids. A pediatrician from the states brought them in but we purposely didn't tell our kids until we arrived with them at the boys' home today. We knew they would be mad. And they were. "All the time you want to give me shots!" "I don't need them, I'm not sick." They eventually all succumbed to our persuasive ways, but some were quite creative in avoiding us. I walked down to the girls home and looked in one bedroom to find Isguerda hiding between two beds. Denite was pretending to cry on another bed. Both girls had put bandaids on their arms and said they'd already had their shots. Soon Adeline popped out of the closet with a bandaid also on her arm and said I wouldn't be taking her. A little more cajoling on my part, followed by whining on theirs, and they were marching off to the boys' home. Three more shots in the next couple of months and they should be done, unless Haiti receives a batch of different vaccines or visitors bring more.

Lizard Head Wilderness
IntroductionThe United States Congress designated the Lizard Head Wilderness (map) in 1980 and it now has a total of 41,525 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Colorado and is managed by the Forest Service.
DescriptionLizard Head Peak (13,113 feet), stands spire-like on the eastern side of the Lizard Head Wilderness shadowed by 14,000-foot peaks, Mount Wilson and Wilson Peak. Not far to the west, you'll find El Diente (or the tooth, in English), the westernmost of the state's "fourteeners". The province of more experienced climbers, Mount Wilson and El Diente are connected by a famous knife-edged ridge and considered difficult ascents. The summit of Lizard Head Peak, a 400-foot-tall tower of rotten rock, has been voted as one of Colorado's most dangerous and difficult climbs. Dolores Peak (13,290 feet) stands in the most western portion of the Wilderness. On a clear day you can stand in snow on any of the area's high peaks and see the red rock canyon lands of southern Utah to the west. Lizard Head Wilderness is a land of ragged mountain splendor, with lovely cirque lakes, swift mountain streams that often plunge over dramatic waterfalls, and a spruce-fir forest opened by expanses of alpine vegetation. Magnificent golden aspen blanket the lower slopes in vast unbroken reaches every fall. Human use is moderate to light on the 37 miles of trails.

I'm looking for a tennis partner to play indoors, preferably at McGill but I could also play at Uniprix.
I'm a 4.5, and I'm looking for a 4.0+ partner who is either willing to play occasionally or on regular basis.

Replies to This Discussion
Yeah, I can do Uniprix. Probably not going to want to pay that much more than once or twice a week, but I'd definitely down. I can't do tomorrow, but do you want to try for Monday? I'm free after 2:00. Also, do you have an acces montreal card? I can pick one up for discounted rates if you don't already have one...
I dont't have an access card, but I can pick one as well. AS for tomorrow I'm free after 6h00pm, so if you manage to book a court for 7h00pm or after I'm down to play.
Hi Diego,
I am free most weekends for McGill or Uniprix. I'm at 4.0 I think. Let me know. -- Greg.

truTV Spotlights Jobs Involving Extreme Conflict In Revealing New Series ALL WORKED UP
Series Premieres Monday, Oct. 19, with Back-to-Back episodes at 9 and 9:30 p.m. (ET)
Everyone has a bad day at work once in a while. But for some workers who have to deal with extreme conflict, every day can seem like a bad day. They get yelled at, spit on and sometimes even assaulted�and that can happen before their first coffee break. In truTV's new series ALL WORKED UP, the network showcases the first-person stories of a recurring cast of characters working jobs that frequently find them trying to calm down the people they deal with on a daily basis. Whether repossessing someone's prized possessions, towing illegally parked cars or delivering court papers to people who don't want to be found, the show's hard workers are constantly in the line of fire from an angry public. No matter how outrageous the situation or ridiculous the encounter, these professionals have been there, done that and lived to tell about it.
ALL WORKED UP comes to truTV from RDF USA. Chris Coelen and Lauren Gellert serve as executive producers for RDF. For truTV, Robyn Hutt serves as executive in charge of production, and Jessica Shreeve serves as executive producer.
ALL WORKED UP premieres with back-to-back episodes Monday, Oct. 19, at 9 and 9:30 p.m. (ET). The series travels across the country to bring viewers larger-than-life characters at the top of their game, for whom ducking punches and dodging bullets is all in a day's work. Armed with their clipboards, their senses of humor, or a 250,000 volt stun gun, the show's characters have what it takes to deliver the goods. The result is a perfect blend of passionate confrontations and laugh-out-loud encounters.
The following is a rundown of the show's recurring workers:
Repossessors: Ron and Amy Shirley of Lizard Lick Towing in Wendell, N.C.
Ron and Amy primarily repossess vehicles and other machinery whose owners have fallen behind on payments. Their clients are the lien holders who contract the couple to repossess the vehicles on their behalf. Ron's role in the company is to locate and then repossess the property, while Amy deals with the irate owners who want it back. Ron opened Lizard Lick Towing in 1998 with one rollback truck. Within 10 years with the help of Amy, he has built the business into a successful company with a staff of 15 and a fleet of 20 trucks.
Process Server: Byran McElderry in New York City
Byran Mcelderry is a native Bronx resident and 20-year veteran of the New York legal system. Byran is contracted by the state to issue court orders to people who don't want to be found. The court orders range from unpaid fines to divorce proceedings. His job is made doubly hard by the fact that Byran has to issue the papers face to face. Without physically putting the papers into a defendant's hands, the papers don't count as being served.
Head of Security for an Amusement Park: Dan Hall of Dorney Park in Allentown, Penn.
Dan Hall is Dorney Park's head of security. His job consists of looking after the park's 20,000 visitors a day. He patrols on foot looking for people who are not following the park's rules. Preventing people from cutting in line, dealing with drunk patrons and breaking up fights are all in a day's work for Dan. Over the course of a three-month summer season, he will eject over 500 people from the park and deal with thousands of irate and unhappy visitors.
Code Enforcers: Frank Cassidy of Fort Myers, Fla.
Frank runs the code enforcement unit in Fort Myers. The unit deals with complaints from residents over neighborhood nuisances ranging from barking dogs to unkempt properties. Frank has the task of actually confronting the problem neighbors face-to-face on their property. Frank issues citations and then does follow-up visits to make sure violators are complying.
Head of Security for Professional Wrestling: Zach Yager of Ring of Honor Professional Wrestling Federation in various locations around the country
Like most wrestling matches, those set up by the Ring of Honor Professional Wrestling Federation have a tendency to get a bit out of hand. Overzealous fans like to emulate wrestling moves and sometimes even work their way into the ring to torment, hit and spit on the wrestlers. That's why it's great to have Zach Yager heading up security, keeping the wrestlers safe and the fans in line. A staggering 6'3� and 350lbs, Yager uses both intimidation and his strong people skills to calm down angry, testosterone-driven fans and keep them from going over the edge. It isn't uncommon for the security on the night of a show to have to pull audience members out of the ring to prevent them from picking up chairs to bash over each other's heads. Although it is all in good fun, Zach and his team take their jobs very seriously.
Tow Pound Night Manager: Jonet Dominguez of Silver State Towing in Las Vegas
As the night manager at Silver State Towing, Jonet Dominguez tows illegally parked cars in Las Vegas. He loves his job because it combines his passion for cars with a new and exciting challenge every day. Jonet started at Silver State four years ago and surpassed several drivers with more experience and seniority to become a manager. A tireless driver with a knack for �putting out fires,� Jonet is a strong believer in leading by example. He truly loves what he does and never misses a shift, even coming to work the day his first son was born.
Tow Truck Driver: James of Larry's Towing in Las Vegas
James and his wife came to Vegas from California on their honeymoon�and decided to stay. James then found his calling behind the wheel of a tow truck. He loves the thrill of the hunt for illegally parked cars. He's a simple man who operates by a strict moral code: �Treat others the way you would like to be treated.�

Slate correspondent Justin Peters is on leave this year while he writes a book based on his February 2013 Slate profile of the Internet activist Aaron Swartz. He has been sending regular progress reports to friends, family, readers, and others interested in getting an inside look at the book-writing process. Here's the first installment of his updates, sent in January.
Hi, everyone,
Justin Peters here. If you're getting this email, you've expressed interest in receiving periodic updates on the status of the book I'm writing. The book's about the life and death of the Internet prodigy Aaron Swartz, but it's also about intellectual property, online activism, free culture, the rise and fall of the public domain over the years, the historical antecedents of modern copyright legislation, and so on. You know, "Movie of the Week" stuff.
Anyway, it's not entirely accurate to say I'm "writing" the book at this point. I've got a pretty substantial outline, and a few thousand uninspiring words on the origins of copyright, but for the past month I've been spending most of my time immersed in historical research on bygone copyright statutes. This is actually a lot more interesting than it sounds. (Well, a little more interesting than it sounds.) Though the first American national copyright law was passed in 1790—in part thanks to the efforts of Noah Webster, the weird, self-promoting lexicographer who would top any list of the Most Obnoxious Founding Fathers—literary copyright didn't really become a truly divisive issue until halfway through the 19th century. From the authors and publishers lobbying for enhanced copyright protections, to "literary pirates" content to leave things as they were, the 19th- and early-20th-century copyright debates inflamed a lot of passions in America and elsewhere, and inspired a lot of comically overheated political rhetoric on both sides.
The more-than-50-year struggle for international copyright in the United States is particularly riveting, if, like me, you often find yourself riveted by centuries-old policy debates that nobody remembers. For a century after America was founded, foreign authors had no copyright protections in America, which meant that domestic publishers were free to reprint their works at no expense. Plenty of "pirate" publishers took full advantage of this loophole, much to the consternation of overseas authors who were condescendingly told that the fame they derived from their work's dissemination should be payment enough for them. (Charles Dickens came to the U.S. in 1842 and spent his entire visit loudly complaining about how he was being ripped off by the American publishing industry. "I vow before high heaven that my blood boils at these enormities so that when I speak of them I seem to grow twenty feet high, and to swell out in proportion," he wrote at the time. DICKENS SMASH!)
But foreign authors weren't the only ones getting jobbed. Given the abysmal state of American copyright laws, other countries felt little need to respect American copyrights, and, consequently, American authors were routinely pirated themselves by overseas publishers. Not that there were all that many American authors at the time, anyway. Since domestic publishers could reprint foreigners' works for free, they had little incentive to take chances on unknown domestic writers, to whom they would have to pay money. This ended up inhibiting the growth of a national literary culture in America—or, at least, that was the argument of the American authors and publishers who tirelessly lobbied Congress for more, stricter copyright laws.
And that's how international copyright was eventually passed in America: lots of East Coast literary types ended up banding together and forming various "copyright clubs" that lobbied Congress for decades until international copyright went through in 1891. (I am greatly oversimplifying this here; if you want the whole story, buy my book!) The key figures here were George P. Putnam and his son, George H. Putnam, plodding albeit respectable New York publishers who worked on and off for international copyright for more than 50 years. The best-remembered of the copyright warriors is probably Mark Twain, who spent decades writing, speaking, and testifying in favor of reform laws, and who more than once actually took the floor of Congress and lobbied representatives in person. (Perhaps Twain wouldn't have needed his overseas royalties so bad if he hadn't blown so much of his money on ludicrous get-rich-quick schemes.) My favorite of the copyright advocates is probably a guy named Richard Watson Gilder, a magazine editor who swore that he had no personal stake in the fight, and was only in it for purely altruistic reasons. He was probably telling the truth, too. "So far as I know my enthusiasm for the cause is entirely on account of its moral and patriotic bearings," he wrote to Senator W.C.P. Breckinridge in 1888. "It is to me an unendurable national disgrace that America should stand out against all the world as a nation of literary thieves." Truly, that is the worst thing that could ever be said about America.
Several things about this debate strike me as interesting (and I'm not forgetting the debate over the 1909 Copyright Act, which is no less fascinating than its predecessor, and which also features several amusing cameos from beloved bandleader John Philip Sousa, composer of "The Stars and Stripes Forever," who gravely informed the members of the Joint Committee on Patents that "the vocal chords will be eliminated by a process of evolution, as was the tail of man when he came from the ape"), but especially the way that the copyright debate was inevitably framed in moral terms. I've got a lot to say about this topic (buy my book! buy my book!), but one notable aspect is the way that Copyright League members convinced ministers across America to devote their Sunday sermons to the evils of literary piracy. Take the Rev. Henry Van Dyke, who, in 1888, preached that copyright infringement "is a subject in regard to which the pulpit has many reasons for speech, and no apology for silence." (First they came for Charles Dickens, and I said nothing … ) Copyright was rarely discussed primarily as a question of public policy, but instead as one of moral necessity. More than 120 years later, with Internet IP "thieves" and "pirates" routinely excoriated (and worse) by copyright holders and media companies, the tone of the debate has hardly changed.
You can't understand the present without understanding the past—or at least I can't—and so I'm trying to read as much as I can about these 19th-century copyright champions, going through as much primary source material as I can find, and also reading biographies, academic analyses, and other secondary material. If you're looking to do some reading yourself, which you almost certainly are not, I would start with The Movement for International Copyright in America, an invaluable and absorbing 1960 dissertation by a Catholic priest named Aubert J. Clark, and then move on to the tremendously boring but nevertheless useful 1891 essay compilation The Question of Copyright, edited by the tremendously boring but nevertheless useful George H. Putnam. If you want a taste of the copyright opponents' point of view, you could track down the facile volume Letters on International Copyright, written in 1853 by economist Henry C. Carey, son of one of the country's foremost pirate publishers. (Much of this stuff is available online at hathitrust.org.) But my reading is almost finished, and this week I'm going to start putting words on paper, and then I'll edit, revise, improve, and trim that inevitably terrible first draft until I've got something workable. It's a lot of fun! And also horribly stressful and difficult!
Anyway. That's what I've been up to! Thanks for reading this, and for your continued interest in the book, in the topics at hand, and in yours truly. Talk to you sometime later this month.

Noah made a Bald Eagle out of Trio Blocks. I like to memorialize these things by taking pictures before they get torn down.
After taking Noah's picture, Desi hopped in, like it was only natural that he was next.
It would appear he's a little self conscious about his height.

Apparently the Code was more confusing than we thought. After lying dormant for months, Code Quandaries is back, and Mike Holt, EC&M's NEC Consultant, is here to answer your most difficult questions. Need some help with an installation? Clashing with your local inspector? E-mail Mike with a description of the situation at [email protected], and your question may show up in a future column.
Q. Is it legal to supply a 1,200A main breaker with three sets of 500 kcmil THHN/THWN conductors (with no major motor loads)?
A. No. Where the overcurrent device is rated higher than 800A, the conductors must have an ampacity not less than its rating [240.4(C)]. It's true that 500 kcmil THHN/THWN conductors at 90°C have an ampacity that meets the requirement of 240.4(C) (430A×3=1,290A), but you must meet all NEC requirements. The rules of 110.14(C)(1)(b) call for you to size the conductors at terminals based on the 75°C column of Table 310.16, which requires the conductors at the terminations to be sized no smaller than 600 kcmil.
Q. I have a 20A branch circuit that feeds modular office furniture receptacles rated 15A. The inspector tells me that I must replace the 15A receptacles with 20A receptacles. Is he right?
A. No. When connected to a branch circuit that supplies two or more receptacles, a 15A receptacle can be installed and protected by a 20A overcurrent protection device [Table 210.21(B)(3)].
Q. Is AFCI protection required for switches located in a bedroom that control a lighting outlet in another space?
A. If the switch controls utilization equipment in the bedroom, then it must be AFCI protected. However, if the switch operates lighting outlets for an outdoor luminaire, closets, or other loads not terminated in the bedroom space, then the NEC doesn't require AFCI protection. A switch isn't considered an outlet. According to Art. 100, an outlet is defined as a point on the wiring system at which current is taken to supply equipment that uses electric energy for electronic, electromechanical, chemical, heating, lighting, or similar purposes (100). This would include a receptacle outlet and a lighting outlet, but not a switch.
Phase-control dimmers may cause nuisance tripping when used with AFCIs. This nuisance tripping is dependent on the load wattage and the number of high-wattage lamps on each AFCI. The use of high-wattage lamps or large-wattage loads will increase the chance of nuisance tripping when a dimmer turns on. This is only an issue when a dimmed circuit turns on and isn't encountered during dimming or fades.
My contacts at Eaton/Cutler-Hammer also note that the UL 1699 standard for 15A and 20A AFCIs includes testing with 1,000W incandescent lamp dimmers. This is appropriate for residential circuits. Staying at or below 1,000W of total dimmed lamps per AFCI circuit should result in nuisance-free performance. Additional loads can be on the circuit, as long as they're not dimmed loads.
Q. I've noticed a new trend toward residential, under-the-counter, washer/dryer installations. I don't think the cord is accessible to be used as a disconnecting means when the appliance is installed. Am I correct in my interpretation of the term "accessible?"
A. No. The word "accessible" means capable of being removed or exposed without damaging the building structure or finish, or not permanently closed in by the structure or finish of the building. Therefore, the installation is fine (422.33).
Q. The Code requires all branch circuits that supply 125V, 15A or 20A outlets in dwelling unit bedrooms to be AFCI protected. Does this apply to smoke detectors and wall air conditioning units connected to a 125V, 15A or 20A circuit?
A. AFCI protection is required for all 125V, 15A and 20A outlets, which includes the outlet for smoke detectors as well as wall-mounted air conditioners. However, reports from the field indicate that AFCI breakers will nuisance trip when they supply motor loads. The UL 1699 AFCI standard requires nuisance tripping testing with a capacitor-start motor drawing a minimum peak current of 120A. Underwriters Laboratories uses an air compressor for this test that draws 145A peak. Note that an air conditioner shouldn't experience a nuisance tripping problem.
Q. My inspector wants me to splice the 8 AWG bonding jumper in a pool pump motor with an exothermic welding or irreversible compression type connector. Is he correct?
A. No. The 8 AWG pool bonding conductor must be connected with exothermic welding or by pressure connectors or clamps that are labeled as suitable for the purpose [680.26(C)].
Q. I want to replace the existing two-prong receptacles in an old home with grounding-type (3-wire) receptacles, even though the wiring method only has two wires. What do I have to do?
A. According to the requirements of 406.3(D)(3), where no grounding (bonding) means exists in the outlet box, such as old 2-wire NM cable without a ground, non-grounding type receptacles can be replaced with:
Another non-grounding receptacle.
A GFCI-receptacle, if marked "No Equipment Ground."
A grounding-type receptacle, if GFCI-protected and marked "GFCI Protected" and "No Equipment Ground."
Note that GFCI protection devices function properly on a 2-wire circuit without an equipment grounding conductor because the equipment grounding conductor serves no purpose in the operation of the GFCI protection device.
Permission to replace non-grounding type receptacles with GFCI-protected grounding type receptacles doesn't apply to new receptacle outlets extending from an existing ungrounded outlet box. Adding a receptacle outlet (branch-circuit extension), necessitates a grounding type receptacle. The grounding terminal must be grounded according to 250.130(C).
Q. During an infrared inspection, I found a 400A breaker that had nine conductors per phase on the load side of the breaker, sized at 10 AWG, 8 AWG, and 1/0 AWG. The customer claimed it was legal per the 10-ft tap rule.
A. This installation isn't a violation of the 10-ft feeder tap rule, assuming all of the requirements contained in 240.21(B)(1) are followed. However, the requirements of 110.14(A) only permit one conductor per terminal unless the terminal is so identified. Naturally, no 400A breakers are identified for use with nine conductors.

"And please don't tell me she will hire smart advisers. What happens when her two smartest advisers disagree?"
UPDATE II: Roger Cohen writes in Kiplin' vs Palin: "'One thing that Americans do at this time, also, though, is let's commit ourselves just everyday American people, Joe Six Pack, hockey moms across the nation, I think we need to band together and say 'Never Again.' Never will we be exploited and taken advantage of again by those managing our money and loaning us these dollars.'
"I'm sorry, Governor Palin, words matter. Life has its solemn lessons. 'Never Again' is a hallowed phrase. It's applicable not to the loss of a mortgage, but to the Holocaust and genocide.
"According verbal equivalency to a $60,000 loan and six million murdered Jews, or 800,000 slaughtered Rwandans, is grotesque. Perhaps Palin didn't mean it, but that's no less serious. The world's gravity escapes her."
UPDATE I- political rant III: I really don't think Sarah Palin means it when she says, as she did in Florida today, regarding Barack Obama's membership in his congregation in Chicago: "I don't know why that association isn't discussed more, because those were appalling things that that pastor had said about our great country." This is an open invitation to "discuss more" her religious affiliations and practice, which are far more extensive than that of Sen. Obama. She cannot truly welcome such scrutiny, unless she really is that naïve. I find the things said and done at her Assemblies of God church in Wasilla far more disturbing than anything the admittedly bombastic Rev. Wright, from whom Sen. Obama has clearly and publicly, if painfully, distanced himself, even going so far as cancelling his membership at Trinity, said. I mean, does Jesus really want that pipeline and was it God's will to launch a pre-emptive, largely unjustifed war with Iraq? Let's also look at Palin's political associations, namely her involvement, as well as that of her husband, Todd, in the Alaskan Independence Party, which supports secession from "our great country". I don't think even Rev. Wright went that far! I guess desperation brings out the negative.
A local business owner here in Salt Lake, Daniel Patterson, wrote an editorial that appeared in today's Salt Lake Tribune. In it he captures the reality of the Palin phenomenon better than anyone else I've heard or read. In his article, What's a voter to make of Sarah Palin?, he observes:
"The problem isn't Sarah Palin the candidate. The problem is the American culture that has unknowingly embraced 'Palin-ness' for decades, only to discover now in the 11th hour the high price of our collective incompetence. We've charmed, pushed, and leapfrogged our way into houses we couldn't afford and investments we couldn't make good on. We've supported wars in countries we didn't understand for reasons that we never bothered to question.He is correct to assert that we "are facing unprecedented payback on literally every front imaginable. From housing to credit, we've failed to manage ourselves on just about every level possible". To wit: "geographical proximity to Russia doesn't equal foreign policy readiness any more than being sequestered and prepped by strategists and campaign aides prepares you to lead a country during one of the most volatile periods in the nation's history". Indeed, the mortgage on the White House "is far beyond Gov. Palin's means".
"For us to now deny Palin the chance to stand alongside the president is, in fact, to acknowledge all the things that we as an American people weren't ready for, weren't qualified for and had no business getting involved with in the first place. She is us".
But she's good on abortion! Given what is at stake that kind of simplistic reasoning does not suffice.

If you've ever followed a family through the census or city directories, and suddenly find that they have moved to a different address on the same street, it may be that they did not move at all, but that the city had changed street numbering systems. As some towns grew, houses or buildings were often just numbered as they were built, counting out from the town center. This became a problem when additional buildings were inserted. Most cities eventually went to a more organized system, usually counting each block as one hundred, and numbering buildings in a correspondingly appropriate position within the hundred and assigning even and odd numbered sides to the streets.
The Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps may be able to help you to determine the corresponding old and new street numbers. When a city was in the process of making such a change, the maps would print both old and new building numbers, so if you encounter such a situation, check to see if Fire Insurance Maps were made for the city. The Genealogy Center has Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps in the Library of Congress, which will help you determine if maps were issued for the city you are searching. The maps will also provide answers if the street name itself has changed, and can help you determine exactly where your ancestor lived.

At the request of her attorney, Amanda Bynes' drunken driving case will be referred to a mental-health court, a judge decided Tuesday.
The troubled actress did not appear in court, but her lawyer argued that Bynes was not capable of understanding the proceedings, according to TMZ, which first reported the news.
"The mental health court will examine Bynes and determine her competency to stand trial," attorney Richard Hutton told E! News.
Bynes was arrested on suspicion of DUI in West Hollywood in April 2012 after she allegedly clipped the rear corner of a sheriff's deputy's cruiser while trying to pass it around 3 a.m. near Robertson and Santa Monica boulevards.
That arrest was part of a series of vehicle-related problems Bynes then encountered before moving to New York, where her odd behavior and odder Twitter blurts initially made her the focus of many a snarky blog post.
Her situation took a darker turn in July after she was put on involuntary psychiatric hold after lighting a small fire in the driveway of a house in Thousand Oaks. What was first a 72-hour hold was extended to two weeks, then 30 days, then reportedly up to a year.
Bynes' mother has a temporary conservatorship over her daughter with regard to the 27-year-old's well-being and personal finances.
Bynes' next scheduled court date in the DUI case is Jan. 7.

Erika Medina is an actress and model born in Hawaiian Gardens, California. Her whirlwind career has included several film and television productions including Rush Hour 3, the Disney Channel's top rated show Hannah Montana, VH1's new reality series America's Most Smartest Model, CBS' Two And A Half Men, music videos with Justin Timberlake, Pitbull and the Backstreet Boys, and magazine spreads with FHM, Maxim and many others. In the last year, Erika's smoldering good looks have promoted such high-profile brands as Monster Energy Drink, Jack Daniels and Malibu Rum.
Even though Erika had since the age of four been telling anyone who would listen that she wanted to be an entertainer, she made no real moves to get herself on radio, television or in magazines until 2006. At age 20, Erika was living in Anaheim, California, and pursuing a career in the mortgage industry. In April 2006, a friend dared Erika to try to make her dreams come true by sending out some photos of herself to magazines. Half-jokingly, Erika took the dare, submitting a handful of snapshots taken in her home to FHM Magazine, a leading men's magazine. Three months later, Erika made her modeling debut in FHM's July 2006 issue.
A true overnight success, Erika knew an amazing opportunity had presented itself. She quit her day job and found herself a manager. Since then, acting and modeling have been Erika's full-time pursuits, and her dedication has been matched only by her rapidly expanding list of accomplishments. With only a year or so of experience under her 26-inch belt, Erika has become one of the most sought-after new actress/models in the industry. She's consistently praised for her stunning, exotic-yet-commercial appearance, and also for her down-to-earth personality and charming charisma.
When she isn't performing or posing for the camera, Erika loves spending time with her family in Anaheim and playing Aunt to her sister's daughters. She also enjoys regular acting classes, going out to movies, and singing and dancing with her friends. For photos and more information visit www.erikamedina.com or www.myspace.com/emedina99.

Radio Experts: Limbaugh May Have Triggered Long-Term Ad Exodus
Blog ››› ››› JOE STRUPP
Rush Limbaugh's misogynistic comments about a Georgetown law student are affecting advertisers more than the usual controversial broadcast statements and may spark a long-term problem for the conservative host, according to journalists who cover radio and advertising.
Veteran radio observers credit the quick exodus of advertisers in recent days to the severity of Limbaugh's sexist rant and the ability of social media to force companies to comment on the controversy. These experts also tell Media Matters many major advertisers generally avoid commentators like Limbaugh, shrinking the pool of possible replacements.
Jim Cooper, executive editor of Adweek, said that Limbaugh's comments were "so offensive" that he could have impaired his ability to attract advertisers in the long term. "He could have a problem with brands being associated with his show. They don't want to have any sort of rub off, to be associated with anyone seen as so bold or obnoxious or cruel to that woman, it is pretty off the charts."
Cooper also acknowledged that it was surprising for ads to continue being pulled even after Limbaugh's two attempts to address the controversy since Saturday.
"It seems a little bit more extreme because what he said was so extreme," Cooper said of the advertiser reaction. "I don't think most brands, unless they have a political bias, are going to want to be part of this. It is so offensive to a massive part of his audience. No brand is going to want to be saying, 'sure we are behind his comments.'"
Limbaugh has drawn attention in the past week for his vicious and repeated attacks on Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown University law student who recently testified before congressional Democrats about the problems caused when young women lack access to contraception.
The popular conservative radio host unleashed a barrage of critical comments at Fluke last week, calling her a "slut" and a "prostitute," and demanding: "If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it, and I'll tell you what it is. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch."
As of Tuesday afternoon, at least 29 advertisers had said they would exclude, suspend, or pull their business from Limbaugh's radio show, which is syndicated by Premiere Radio, a division of Clear Channel Communications.
The advertising exodus began Friday with several companies including Quicken Loans withdrawing business, followed by major Limbaugh advertiser Carbonite on Saturday and more than a dozen pulling the plug Monday. Those include the likes of Allstate, Sears, and AOL.
Limbaugh offered a much-criticized "apology" statement online Saturday and apologized again on his program Monday. But the radio host continued to bleed advertisers throughout the day on Tuesday in the face of an Internet campaign waged largely through social media.
"It is surprising that he is losing [so many advertisers] because of all the listeners he has," said Frank Saxe, managing editor of Inside Radio, which covers the industry. "It is interesting that even after the apologies the advertisers are leaving. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a few more leaving."
Saxe's publication is also owned by Clear Channel Communications.
Saxe later added, "It is a little surprising seeing some of the advertisers leave given they knew who Rush is. You would think they would support him more. The kind of blowback advertisers are getting through social media, it is a lot easier for people to come back at the advertisers."
Cooper agreed that the social media pressure likely sped things up, and prevented the firestorm from dying down: "It's really high profile. Not only are the ratings so huge, but this story has blown up on social media, it is all over Twitter and these brands are not stupid, they are monitoring that space, too. If this story had happened 10 years ago, it would not have had the gasoline of social media to push it. The story will not go away."
Katy Bachman, former radio reporter for MediaWeek and past editor of Radio Business Report, said the controversy might affect Limbaugh "for a while."
"Advertisers are very sensitive to where their ads are placed," Bachman said. "This might set him back for a while, the pressure should be put on Premiere and Clear Channel because they are the syndicators and the ones selling the advertising."
Asked why the ads started being pulled so soon and so quickly, Bachman replied, "They don't want their ads or their products associated with a show like this."
Several observers pointed to the initial weekend apology as a sign of the early pressure mounting on Limbaugh, noting he rarely takes such actions outside of the on-air program.
"I have never seen a statement issued that fast, Premiere issued it on a Saturday," said Tom Taylor, news editor of Radio-Info.com, a radio industry news site. "Rush doesn't issue a lot of apologies, and to have it happen on Saturday afternoon tells you it is a bit of an unusual thing. This is something to watch, it changes all the time."
Robert Unmacht, a 35-year radio industry consultant who also writes for Radio-Info.com, also found the apology timing notable.
"It is [unusual] and his apology has been incredibly weak," Unmacht said. "This came under the Premiere Network name, Rush rarely does anything under that release. I have to think that means they have been hit really hard with advertising and it has the look that a publicist wrote it. It didn't feel genuine, it came from a group that doesn't usually speak for Rush."
Limbaugh may have difficulty finding new advertisers to fill the slots of the companies who no longer wish to be associated with him. Several radio industry journalists told us that Limbaugh is among several controversial broadcasters who are already generally avoided by most high-end advertisers.
"There are a lot of 'no-buys' in radio; 'don't put my ad in anything controversial.' There is a lot of that," said Saxe. "I think a guy like Rush, if you are listening to his show, he is not getting some of the mainstream advertisers."
Added Bachman: "Most big blue chip advertisers don't advertise on Limbaugh, they tend to avoid anything that is controversial. You will not see the Johnson and Johnsons or the Proctor & Gambles associated with a strong political viewpoint."
Taylor agreed. "A lot of advertisers just don't want to be around controversial content. There are many times when advertisers put instruction in an ad buy not to buy anything controversial and you never hear about it," he said.

Maritime power is a key part of the United Kingdom's response to the varied threats and challenges of today's ever-changing political climate. Maritime forces can operate at short notice, without host nation support, all over the world and can therefore react quickly in areas of concern to the United Kingdom. Maritime power offers the benefits of:
- Mobility
- Flexibility
- Versatility
- Large lift capacity
All of which make it a powerful political tool for any government. However, success in modern warfare depends on teamwork and to be truly effective the Royal Navy must integrate with land and air forces. The Royal Navy is involved in operations and exercises throughout the world. These may vary from single ships or submarines to an entire task group and often take place away from the media spotlight. Nonetheless the Royal Navy is constantly at work defending the United Kingdom's Interests worldwide.

For enthusiastic technologists, Big Data promises new opportunities, interesting work, and the potential to make a lot of money. But we techies are consumers and citizens too. Like everyone else, our personal data is constantly being captured and exchanged through millions of electronic transactions in a data collection market now worth many billions of dollars worldwide.
Each day the enormously powerful Internet technology companies (Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc.), credit reporting agencies, retailers of every size (including electronic retailers like Alibaba and Amazon), and a myriad of smaller online data tracking groups, use evermore powerful and ingenious monitoring technologies to track and record our daily activities – our preferences, likes and dislikes, what we buy, what we search for, who we know, where we've been. In fact, an entire industry – now a vital part of the digital economy and therefore important to continued economic growth – has emerged that is dependent upon the collection and sale of personal data in ways that would have been uncountenanced in the past. We should know; we're the architects of the technology that makes that personal data market possible.
But at the same time, no one should know better than we do that data hackers and the universality of the Internet means that personal data is never really secure – it can be openly bought and sold, made available around the globe, irretrievable and un-erasable. In our enthusiasm for all things "Big Data," are we abetting the data collectors in something that might be bad for society's (and our own) best interest?

The United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are the world's targets for addressing extreme poverty in its many dimensions. The MDGs target date expires this year, and as we collaboratively build out new goals for the next 15 years, it will be critical that nonprofit communicators in the global development sector build on what we've learned as well. So it got me thinking about what some of my lessons learned were after almost five years working at Trickle Up — an international organization that empowers people living on less than $1.25 a day to take the first steps out of poverty, providing them with resources to build sustainable livelihoods for a better quality of life.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25 (UPI) -- Sen. Ron Johnson said he shouldn't have speculated as to why Hillary Clinton choked up during her Senate testimony on the attack on the consulate in Benghazi.
"I did not accuse her of crying," Johnson said on CNN's "Starting Point with Soledad O'Brien" Thursday. "I was responding to a question, Soledad. I probably speculated and I shouldn't've."
Johnson's statement came after he said Clinton's emotional moments were an aversion strategy to get out of the questions.
"It was a good way of getting out of really having to respond to me," Johnson said in an interview with BuzzFeed Wednesday.
CNN said Johnson questioned Clinton about the administration's initial argument that the attack was caused by a protest over an anti-Islam film.
Johnson stood by his questions Thursday and said the administration should have obtained answers about the attack right away.

"Survivor" is a whole new game.
The first time I heard of "Survivor" was after my overnight shift one morning while I was hanging around the station. A story came over the news wire that about a new CBS show stranding a group of people on an island with little or no provisions and they would have to fend for themselves for a month. I'm thinking, these people are going to end up killing each other and I specifically remember saying sarcastically to a coworker, "Yeah. THAT'S a good idea."
It was.
The show that gave us arrogant nudie and tax evader (not to mention first winner) Richard Hatch, outspoken conservative and "The View" panelist Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Milwaukee trucker Susan Hawk and weaselly wrestling fan and granny killer Johnny Fairplay is back tonight on CBS for its 22nd season. Arguably the spearhead of the reality TV movement in the new millennium, the show still has legs although (like others of the genre) is starting to show signs of decline. Once a powerhouse on Thursday night, in recent years it has been under attack in its time slot to the point where the show was eventually forced to move to Wednesdays. Still, its been quite popular in recent seasons. And a lot of its success can be credited to a short stocky guy from Texas who has become in many people's eyes as the show's greatest uncrowned champion.
Russell Hantz appeared on two consecutive seasons (Samoa & Heroes vs Villains) and went to the end each time. He also came up short each time as his path to the final vote was one of burned bridges, blatant lies and broken promises. He stuck it to the producers of the show by finding multiple immunity idols... with NO CLUES. During the Heroes vs Villains season, he butted heads with another notorious "Survivor" bad boy, Rob Mariano -- "Boston Rob" -- and bested him. Is he important to the show's success? Three of the last four seasons (including tonight's) will feature Russell on the cast. So yeah, CBS sure thinks so.
Which brings us to tonight's premiere of "Survivor: Redemption Island", featuring Russell versus Boston Rob Part Two. An important note: this will also be the first season that this season's players actually got to see Russell in action and how he played the game on the show before filming (Being on consecutive seasons, the Samoa season aired immediately after the Heroes vs Villains season was filmed.) And unless this season's cast has never seen "Survivor" or is completely clueless, Russell Hantz should be the first person voted out. People know his game, how dangerous and devious he can be so his ouster should be a no-brainer, right?
Enter "Redemption Island". "Survivor" has changed the one constant of the game over the past twenty-one seasons by saying that if you're voted out at tribal council... you're not necessarily voted out of the game. You're sent to "Redemption Island" to duel another outcast one on one to get back in the game. So if/when CBS' favorite "Survivor" Russell Hantz gets voted off, he's not necessarily out. And more Russell means higher ratings.
Well played, CBS. As a radio-tv-film major from Oshkosh, I find this an interesting study of how even a reality show with little control who gets to stay around from week to week can manipulate the rules to get the most out of its cast. "Survivor: Redemption Island" premieres tonight at 7pm on WFRV Channel 5 or your local CBS affiliate.

My More Magazine Shoot!
August 23, 2012
Hi chickadees! Ooo this post is fun to write as it gives me a huuuge smile to say I was in More Magazine! I couldn't get chance to blog as the time but it was a couple of issues ago as I was part of their 'How would you wear...' feature, where five different girls style up an item with their own wardrobe. We got sent a picture of the item a few days before the London shoot, which were a pair of Jaeger cropped floral trousers at a hefty £99. Each issue the different item is something quite hard to style so I was super pleased these trousers were simple, even though I only ever wear high waist bottoms and these were so not my style!
My outfit was totally something I would wear though! Also handy as I had already turned up to the shoot wearing this hat, top and bag, with the Jeffrey Campbell studded shoes freshly purchased from the Office in Topshop Oxfrd Circus. Yes I got them just for this day and took them straight back afterwards - they were incredibly uncomfortable haha!
I did originally bring a stack of Motel to wear but none of our prints quite went with the trousers, so I went back to my Tobi off shoulder lace crop top (now sold out) which I love! I'll do a separate post on Tobi as it's a newish US website and I had a mixed order from them - I loved this top but returned a dress that was absolutely awful in real life! I'm OBSESSED with off the shoulder tops and dresses right now - look out for more from Motel soon like this dip dye Dana Off Shoulder Crop!
And did you ever think I'd wear a hat? Well you know I'm having a bit of a Demi Lovato fan girl moment and the wide brim hat is totally me wanting to have her hair and look! Its a H&M bowler hat but in size Large so the brim is wider, and I just sit it on the back of my hair! I added some small accessories from the amazing table on offer and my Topshop rucksack that I've been using all year, and that was the outfit complete!
Thank you to More Magazine who featured some Motel items too and the awesome hair and makeup team, what a treat! The photos themselves only took five minutes to shoot and I did a lot of fake laughing haha!
You can apply to be in the feature as a blogger or reader too just by emailing email@example.com. They've recently had a makeover and it is packed with fashion trends and high street buys, and is the most readable weekly out there right now. We get them all each week at work and I don't know why Look magazine has gone all Dorothy Perkins on us but More is my new weekly magazine fix!
