FacebookEvents module requires EventsAPI, because it need to have access to EventService.java interface.
And it provides EventService implementation with FacebookEventService.
We are going to use ServiceLoader to find the implementations of EventService interface, here ServiceLoader requires uses keyword on EventService, otherwise compiler will throw an error.
We have just added TwitterEvents module in the run time, ServiceLoader is able to load the TwitterEventService and gave the desired output.
Welcome to the new concept of components in angular 4.
Definition: component is a angular class , Components are the most basic building block of an UI in an Angular application. An Angular application is a tree of Angular components.
Components always have a template and only one component can be instantiated per an element in a template.
A component must belong to an NgModule in order for it to be usable by another component or application. To specify that a component is a member of an NgModule, you should list it in the declarations field of that NgModule In app.module file.
we can create the component by using this command.
this command will create the component ts file and html and spec.ts and css files with your component name. no need to create the component manually.
Component decorator must have the selector and template. if you don't add these fields component will not valid. because Angular uses the selector to show the html content in the app. You will find the selectors in the chrome console Elements. This selectors will add dynamically to the DOM when your change the routers. The component should have less than 400 lines of code.
Selector : css selector that identifies this component in a template. means we can use the html templates with selector in the application. another advantage is we can use the selector tag any where in the application to show the content of template html, its one of the best feature in Angular.
Template: inline-defined template for the view. Means it's the html code, we can write html code in the template, or we can directly give the html src by giving the template url. If we have less html code its easy to add the html content in the template. no need to create another external html file.
TemplateUrl: Template url is the external file containing a html template for the view. If we have multiple lines of html content, its better to keep one html file. we can give the html url path in the 'templateUrl' field.
Same for styles: css styles we can add two ways by adding styles, styleUrls fields. we should write the styles in the brackets , it is style guide.
Style: Inline-defined styles to be applied to this component's view means whatever we write the styles in the component, that css styles applied to html content in template or template Url. If we have less content of styles, we can add the styles in the styles filed.
Every Angular app has at least one NgModule class, the root module, conventionally named AppModule. Angular apps are modular and Angular has its own modularity system called NgModules. We will add the components in the 'declarations' of this module file.
NgModule is a decorator to use the ng module.
declarations– the view classes that belong to this module.All component class names must add in the declarations. Angular has three kinds of view classes: components, directives, and pipes.
exports– the subset of declarations that should be visible and usable in the component templates of other modules.
imports– other modules whose exported classes are needed by component templates declared. We must add the the modules in the 'imports' field. whatever we use the modules, that should be place in the imports.
providers– creators of services that this module contributes to the global collection of services; they become accessible in all parts of the app. These providers are for services. whatever you have services , that services should be add in the provider field. providers will tell to angular how to inject a service.
The module declares some objects to be public by marking them with the export key word.

Layne returns with second Mark Twain performance
News | August 8, 2006
Provided to the Tribune
MacAvoy Layne will appear as that "Wild Humorist of the Western Slope, Mark Twain" at 7 p.m. Thursday. This will be the second time this summer that Twain will appear at the Lake of the Sky Amphitheater at Taylor Creek. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children 12 and younger.
At his first appearance this summer, Layne delighted the large crowd with Twain's adventures out West in Virginia City and Lake Tahoe, and answered questions from the audience. Thursday's show will be similar with stories for the children, humor for the adults and words of wisdom to live by for all. Layne will again take questions from the audience and answer as Mark Twain.
The outdoor setting of the Lake of the Sky Amphitheater is one of the favorite settings for Layne to perform as Mark Twain. "The dressing room, with its view of the Taylor Creek Meadow and Mount Tallac in the background, is as good as it comes," Layne said. "'The Old Man' would have loved it."
The Forest Service and the Tahoe Heritage Foundation make these programs possible. The Tahoe Heritage Foundation is a nonprofit organization that works with the Forest Service to conduct interpretive and environmental education programs in the Tahoe Basin.
For more information call the Taylor Creek Visitor Center at (530) 543-2674.

Cory Stillman's first year in the OHL was 1990-91 with the Windsor Spitfires where he collected 101 points in only 64 games. The next season saw Stillman selected by the Calgary Flames 6th overall in the 1992 NHL Entry Draft. His final year as a junior saw Stillman and his new team the Peterborough Petes go all the way to the Memorial Cup finals.
In Stillman's first season in the AHL with the Saint John Flames he led all rookies in scoring and made his NHL debut the next season while spending the majority of the year in Saint John. Stillman saw his first Stanley Cup playoff action in 1996 and was in Calgary for the better part of seven seasons before being dealt to the St. Louis Blues who were getting geared up for a Cup run in 2001. The Blues went all the way to the Conference Finals before falling to the eventual Stanley Cup winning Colorado Avalanche.
In his first full season with the Blues in 2001-02 Stillman scored 23 goals and finished with 45 points before establishing a career high 67 points the following year. After parts of three seasons with St. Louis, Stillman signed with the Tampa Bay Lightning in the summer of 2003 and went on to establish a career high in points with 80 (25-55-80) during the 2003-04 season and was instrumental in leading the Bolts to their first Stanley Cup title.
Following the lockout year of 2004-05, Stillman signed a three-year contract with the Carolina Hurricanes in the summer. Coming off a career year in Tampa Bay, Stillman was named the alternate captain of the Carolina Hurricanes prior to the start of the regular season. He continued to produce offensively notching 76 points in his first season as a Hurricane. His leadership and determined play motivated a young Hurricanes squad to finished second in the Eastern Conference. Stillman once again entered the NHL playoffs with an upstart Southeastern Division team, and once again was awarded the Stanley Cup. Stillman recorded at least a point in 21 of the 25 Hurricane playoff games and became only the sixth player in NHL history to win the Stanley Cup in consecutive seasons with two different teams.
Stillman returned to the Hurricane line-up in 2006-07, and mid-way through his season suffered a shoulder injury which sidelined the Peterborough, Ontario native for 31 games. He managed to record 27 points in 43 games that season on an inconsistent Hurricane club that failed to reach the playoffs. The following season, Cory Stillman appeared in 55 games with the Hurricanes before the club traded him with Mike Commodore to the Ottawa Senators for Joe Corvo and Patrick Eaves.
Stillman's stint in Ottawa was short lived however, after appearing in 24 regular season games his Senators were swept from the playoffs in the first round. In the off-season, Stillman signed a 3 year deal worth $10.6-million with the Florida Panthers.
On February 24, 2011, Stillman's time in Florida would come to an end. He was traded back to the Carolina Hurricanes, the club he had helped win the Stanley Cup back in 2006.
OHL Rookie of the Year (1991) Missed majority of 1999-2000 due to shoulder injury vs. Philadelphia, December 27, 1999. Traded to St. Louis by Calgary for Craig Conroy and St. Louis' 7th round pick (David Moss) in 2001 NHL Draft, March 13, 2001. Traded to Tampa Bay by St. Louis for Tampa Bay's 2nd round pick (David Backes) in 2003 NHL Draft, June 21, 2003. Signed as a free agent by Carolina, August 2, 2005. Traded to Ottawa by Carolina with Mike Commodore for Joe Corvo and Patrick Eaves, February 11, 2008. Signed as a free agent by Florida, July 1, 2008. Traded to Carolina by Florida for Ryan Carter and Carolina's 5th round pick (later traded to Atlanta, later traded to San Jose - San Jose selected Sean Kuraly) in 2011 NHL Draft, February 24, 2011.


Just can't believe that Barnsley are in the relegation zone. Afterall, the Reds are a really good passing side, and they certainly play some high octane football. At the weekend they outplayed the in form Sheffield Wednesday for much of the match, so it was a bit of an injustice that they could only draw (1-1). Prior to that the Tykes lost three league games on the spin, albeit each of those results could have been different with a bit of fortune. Here's the thing, if Barnsley can't beat a rugged but limited Burton it's time to call it a day. The latter had the rub of the green when Forest went down to ten men on 28 minutes at the weekend. However, despite the man advantage for over an hour they couldn't win that home fixture. The Brewers were tormented and ultimately beaten 2-4 in the reverse fixture, and boss Nigel Clough will need to do without defenders Ben Turner and Tom Flanagan this evening!
The Lions like to get their fans behind them at the Den, and it's that which makes it an intimidating place for opposing teams. We also recognise that Millwall are unbeaten in their last six home matches, and they are a two places and five points above tonights opponent. However, the visitors have lost just one of their last ten matches, and they are clearly doing much better under the guidance of new boss Jos Luhukay. At the weekend in the FA cup, the Owls drew with premier league side Swansea (0-0), and prior to that they had beaten then second placed Derby County (2-0). We should also add that the visitors won the reverse fixture during a quiet spell. And, they can be buoyed by the fact they kept six clean sheets in their last nine league matches. The Owls are expecting upto 4 players back for this evening, and they are 5-3-0 against Millwall over the past 8 meetings! Easy call!
Yes we can read the stat that the Tricky Tree's lost their last five home games, and they are without newly suspended Eric Lichaj. However, when we consider they played Burton with a man less for over 60 minutes and stopped them scoring, we believe it showed a lot of character from the host. Reds Boss Aitor Karanka is almost certainly the right man for the job, and having Michael Mancienne back tonight is a massive boost. In our opinion Reading are their for the taking, and that's despite having up to three players back for tonights match. Forest won this fixture the last three times and scored ten goals in the process.
Sunderland are in the danger of suffering back to back relegations. At the start of the season the Black Cats were one of the favourites for promotion, but since then they have done nothing but disappoint. Suffice to say the fans are already calling for the head of Chris Coleman, but maybe it's not the former Wales managers fault because he's picked up a team with so many issues. In fact, injuries are going from bad to worse with Ruiter (first GK), Wilson, Gibson, Watmore and LuaLua confirmed absentees. While McNair and Kone are likely to be available, both Oviedo and Ejaria are also big doubts. Bolton lost back to back league matches, but to be fair a red card at the weekend left them playing with a man down against QPR. Back at home the Trotters are clearly much better, and this looks a great time to play an under pressure Sunderland.
FLEMERINA is certainly the one to beat for her in form yard, but carrying 11-10 and being the same odds makes her a take-on. HEPBURN falls into the too much weight category, while MASSINI'S LADY needs to prove she wants it and can jump. Since KILLCULLEN LADY has a lot to prove, we believe it's worth taking a chance with chasing debutant HONEYCHILE RYDER. Dianne Sayer's seven year old made a pleasing return, and she could do better now she's going over the larger obstacles. All in all, these odds are very tempting!
A few of these have been winning and that means they have gone up the weights. CUCKLINGTON is one who is finding it hard from his new mark, while stable companion MUFFINS FOR TEA will struggle with 105. HEY BILL and SPEEDALONG are also penalised for winning last time out, and neither have much scope for improvement. Back to back point to point winner was found out by his massive weight last time out. Today the 8 year old is receiving from the principals, and he should prove better still on this decent ground. James Best is a good booking, and odds of 7/2 are fair enough.
BORDER CONTROL clearly didn't stay the three miles last time out. Prior to that Joseph O'Brien's five year old ran a cracker against Another Barney, and he finished 3.75 lengths in front of the third place Grotesque. On a strict line of form he's got a couple of pounds to find with Willie Mullins charge GIANT SPIRIT, albeit we don't believe that gelding is up to his handicap rating! GREAT KHAN is clearly held, while some of the others will need to improve drastically. For us this looks a race between the top two in betting!
TELL ME ANNIE ran well enough on her return, albeit she only finished a little in front of COUNTESS CATHLEEN. Nevertheless, she should be better suited by the step up in trip than that one. A line through MOONLIGHT ESCAPE suggests TRUMPS ACE has a fair bit to find. While we are not overly happy to be betting a runner giving weight away, the flat form of DECISION TIME stands up well. Not only did she win well when last seen, she also beat 115 rated OSCO MOSCO by 5.5 lengths in a bumper, and she gave that mare 5 pounds.
Mississippi St has been on a roll with 7 consecutive wins ATS but this is a team we have watched carefully and they are a bit underwhelming offensively. Ole Miss ranks as the worst SEC team and while the Bulldogs 79-62 win over the Rebels looks impressive, it was over a checked out team that became more evident when their head coach resigned after the game. Even the game prior where the Bulldogs lost by just a point to a dangerous Vanderbilt team came after the Commodores built a large lead then got careless at the end. We're not sure what Texas A&M's issues are on the road but the fact remains they enjoy one of the better home court advantages as shown by their 12-2 mark at home. The Aggies suffered a setback when Duane Wilson was lost for the season but with everyone else back from injuries/suspensions and distractions at a minimum, this is one of the teams we rate very highly and even moreso playing on their home court. The Aggies' suffocating defense is a site to behold and should allow the hosts to cruise to a comfortable win.
The Explorers have been in dreadful form, especially against the market as they are a dismal 1-12 ATS in their last 13 games. Still, if there is a modicum of hope for this bet, the Explorers have shown to be markedly better at home, where they have won 4 out of their last 5 and the non-covers by just a few points. The Rams have dominated the Atlantic-10 with a 13-1 record but are coming off their lone loss to a conference opponent, St Bonaventure, over the weekend. We will again roll the dice on the hosts as they have the talent and fantastic guards that should do well in this matchup. The Rams excel at guarding the perimeter but the Explorers prefer to drive into the paint for most of their scoring. The Explorers' dreadful 3 pt defense also should be mitigated by the fact that the Rams prefer to shoot inside the arc as well.
We admire anyone who is willing to go out on court and play professional tennis. Nevertheless, we feel like a lot of players are simply going through the motions, and one that fits this description is Johanna Larsson. Don't get us wrong the Swede is super fit and holds her rank well, but at the same time it's like watching a machine. In any case, Larsson is more of a clay player and we believe she's very beatable here. Magdalena Frech has a solid record at ITF level, and she now appears ready for taking to the bigger stage. Beating players such has Sofya Zhuk and Kayla Day (easily) at the Aussie open suggests she's up to the task of doing well in a minor tournament like this. And, that was rubber stamped in the final round of qualifying when she thrashed Anna Blinkova. Suffice to say, more of the same should be enough!
It's been a terribly disappointing season for Rutgers as they sit in a 3 way tie for last place in the Big 10 with Minnesota and Iowa. It's hard to find motivation for a team that's just playing the regular season out but the Scarlet Knights have endured some embarrassing losses, one of which came at the hands of the Buckeyes, so perhaps that can serve its purpose here. The Buckeyes are in much better shape at 13-3 in conference play and 1 game behind top seed Michigan St. However, they are coming off a tough, always emotional game against Michigan over the weekend and could certainly be looking ahead to another tough matchup against Indiana at Bloomington. The Scarlet Knights' have few redeeming qualities but one has been their defense which should be enough to keep this within reason against an opponent that may not be completely focused.

Item Distribution Performance
Item Distribution Performance (RapidMiner Studio Core)
This operator is used for performance evaluation of flat clustering methods. It evaluates a cluster model based on the distribution of examples.
The clustering operators like the K-Means and K-Medoids produce a flat cluster model and a clustered set. The cluster model has information regarding the clustering performed. It tells which examples are parts of which cluster. The Item Distribution Performance operator takes this cluster model as input and evaluates the performance of the model based on the distribution of examples i.e. how well the examples are distributed over the clusters. Two distribution measures are supported: Sum of Squares and Gini Coefficient. These distribution measures are explained in the parameters. Flat clustering creates a flat set of clusters without any explicit structure that would relate clusters to each other. Hierarchical clustering, on the other hand, creates a hierarchy of clusters. This operator can only be applied on models produced by operators that produce flat cluster models e.g. K-Means or K-Medoids operators. It cannot be applied on models created by the operators that produce a hierarchy of clusters e.g. the Agglomerative Clustering operator.
Clustering is concerned with grouping together objects that are similar to each other and dissimilar to the objects belonging to other clusters. It is a technique for extracting information from unlabeled data and can be very useful in many different scenarios e.g. in a marketing application we may be interested in finding clusters of customers with similar buying behavior.
cluster model (Cluster Model)
This input port expects a flat cluster model. It is output of the K-Medoids operator in the attached Example Process. The cluster model has information regarding the clustering performed. It tells which examples are part of which cluster.
performance vector (Performance Vector)
This input port expects a Performance Vector.
The cluster model that was given as input is passed without changing to the output through this port. This is usually used to reuse the same cluster model in further operators or to view it in the Results Workspace.
The performance of the cluster model is evaluated and the resultant Performance Vector is delivered through this port. It is a list of performance criteria values.
measureThis parameter specifies the item distribution measure to apply. It has two options:
sumofsquares: If this option is selected, the sum of squares is used as the item distribution measure.
ginicoefficient: The Gini coefficient (also known as the Gini index or Gini ratio) is a measure of statistical dispersion. It measures the inequality among values of a frequency distribution. A low Gini coefficient indicates a more equal distribution, with 0 corresponding to complete equality, while higher Gini coefficients indicate a more unequal distribution, with 1 corresponding to complete inequality.
Evaluating the performance of the K-Medoids clustering model
The 'Ripley-Set' data set is loaded using the Retrieve operator. Note that the label is loaded too, but it is only used for visualization and comparison and not for building the clusters themselves. A breakpoint is inserted at this step so that you can have a look at the ExampleSet before the application of the K-Medoids operator. The 'Ripley-Set' has two real attributes; 'att1' and 'att2'. The K-Medoids operator is applied on this data set with default values for all parameters. A breakpoint is inserted at this step so that you can have a look at the results of the K-Medoids operator. You can see that two new attributes are created by the K-Medoids operator. The id attribute is created to distinguish examples clearly. The cluster attribute is created to show which cluster the examples belong to. As parameter k was set to 2, only two clusters are possible. That is why each example is assigned to either 'cluster_0' or 'cluster_1'. A cluster model is also delivered through the cluster model output port. It has information regarding the clustering performed. Under the Folder View you can see members of each cluster in folder format and under the Centroid Table and Centroid Plot View tabs information regarding centroids.
The Item Distribution Performance operator is applied to measure the performance of this clustering model on the basis of how well the examples are distributed over the clusters. The cluster model produced by the K-Medoids operator is provided as input to the Item Distribution Performance operator which evaluates the performance of this model and delivers a performance vector that has performance measured on the basis of example distribution. The resultant performance vector can be seen in the results workspace.


Many clients arrested for prescription fraud come from a wide background of ethnic, social, educational, and economic backgrounds. Many who have became addicted to street drugs later discovered prescription medications as an alternative source to meet their addiction needs. A large number of clients become addicted to a drug that they had first legally secured for a genuine medical purpose. Thereafter, they attempted to secure the same drug through illegal means. Healthcare workers, including doctors, nurses, and hospital employees are the group of persons most likely to commit this type offense. These people have an insider's understanding of the prescription writing and filling process. They are often in a unique position to acquwere and abuse prescription drugs.
Recognizing a customer's behavior as suspicious.
Calling back on phone-in prescriptions and checking the doctor's name, signature, phone number, and DEA number with the pharmacy's own internal records.
Maintaining a pharmacy database of their customers. These patient records are used to track previous prescriptions (and their frequency) filled by their pharmacy.
Noting that a customer appears to be returning too frequently. For instance, identifying prescriptions that should have lasted a month, if taken in the proper dosage, being refilled on a Weekly or daily basis.
Identifying prescriptions with unusual quantities or dosages.
Recognizing customers who appear to have prescriptions for antagonistic drugs. For example, why would a physician write a prescription for a stimulant and a short time later provide the same patient with a depressant?
Identifying a pattern of several new customers arriving with prescriptions from the same doctor.
Seeing a prescription that does not comply with acceptable standard abbreviations typically employed within the medical profession.
Employing a security code that prevents customers from impersonating the doctor's office during phone-in prescriptions.
Checking photo identification of the customer against the name on the prescription.
Carefully examining the prescription itself to look for alterations and to determine if there has been a fraudulent reproduction of the prescription pad itself.
Although there is no legal obligation on the part of a doctor to report prescription fraud, his medical malpractice carrier would probably encourage him to do so. Pharmacists and their staff are increasingly being educated in the area of fraud detection. Most have participated in some form of Pharmaceutical Diversion Education.
An arrest for a prescription fraud charge is a serious matter. A felony offense could not only lead to the ramifications of being a convicted felon, but also expose you to incarceration in Jail or within the Florida state prison system. You need an attorney familiar with the nature of these charges and experienced within the Criminal Court System.
The facts of your case will be scrutinized to determine whether any of your constitutional rights were violated. This could result in the possible suppression of evidence or in statements made by you.
The Hobson Law Firm may determine that your case is eligible for an administrative transfer to drug court. Switching divisions in this manner would otherwise enable you to avoid formal conviction. This unique program is oriented toward treatment of the offender and not toward punishment. We may be able to make application for your participation in a Diversion Program that upon completion would have the charges dismissed. The Hobson Law Firm can assist you in getting any treatment that you might need. Our firm is familiar with local addiction treatment providers.
Florida Statute ss. 893.13(7)(a)8 is the doctor shopping law that makes it a felony offense to withhold information from a practitioner from whom the patient seeks to obtain a controlled substance or a prescription for a controlled substance when the patient making the request has previously received a controlled substance or a prescription for a controlled substance from another practitioner with in the last 30 days.
Requesting a replacement prescription for medication that is allegedly misplaced or stolen.
Some doctors may develop a reputation among patients for being more likely to write prescriptions for drugs of choice. When doctor shopping is successful, patients often have their prescriptions filled in multiple pharmacies in an attempt to avoid detection. A statewide prescription drug database will disclose the administration of multiple prescriptions to an individual, even if the prescriptions are filled at different pharmacy locations.
Showing that the client properly disclosed prior prescriptions on a patient intake form, even if the client did not verbally mention this in his or her discussion with the doctor.
"may not be furnished to, and the medical condition of a patient may not be, discussed with, any person other than the patient or the patient's legal representative or other health care practitioners and providers involved in the care or treatment of the patient, except upon written authorization of the patient."
Most doctor shopping prosecutions are premised on multiple prescription records secured by law enforcement from pharmacies and medical records obtained from doctors' offices. Florida's patient privacy laws and the federal HIPPA statute guard these medical records. If law enforcement or the State obtained your medical records without the benefit of a search warrant, or failed to give you advance notice of their intent to serve a subpoena on your doctor, a challenge can be made to exclude the evidence from use in county. Several recent state county decisions cases have affirmed this principle and excluded evidence of doctor shopping based on privacy violations perpetrated by the police.
Being arrested for Doctor Shopping is a serious charge. You need an attorney who understands the exceptional nature of these charges and who knows how to effectively navigate the Criminal Court System. The Hobson Law Firm can help you with a felony drug charge.


Two issues – any advice?
I was diagnosed in April 18 following a bout of ON in March. I made a complete recovery from this. Then shortly after diagnosis I had some numbness in my legs which caused me to walk with limp for few days, but it went away and feel like a made a complete recovery. I stated Tecfidera in June. Everything on the ms front has been rather quiet and I've been going about my business as I did before i was diagnosed – working, playing golf, and family life all as before.
Issue one – this week my left leg has gone numb, not totally, I can walk ok, and its not getting any worse. Does this count as a relapse or it is a flare up of a previous symptom? I'm keen to know the answer as I would definitely want to move on to ocrevus if this was a genuine relapse.
My second issue is slightly more complicated. Following diagnosis I felt I was coping rather well with this bomb shell. After the initial few weeks of self pity and despair I went back to my normal life. However, recently I've become increasingly anxious. The sort of anxiety I would normally only feel when I was about to go into a job interview or something similar – you get the idea. But this feeling is with me all the time now and its stopping me from doing normal things. For example, being in a car I now find horrendous. I'm not sure why, perhaps the claustrophobia or the movement but I hate it. It's like the stress of diagnosis has , 7 months down the line, manifested itself into this unrational fear. Has anyone experienced anything similar to this and if so how did you deal with it?
I've emailed my ms team but I imagine it will be after the weekend that I get a response.
It's a bit of a long post, but writing it all down has actually made me feel a bit better.
We all have a pretty good idea of how You're feeling.
Once you start to have a better understanding of how all these things can make you feel , you can learn to manage how to work with it.
Don't stress it really doesn't help one bit.
Easier said than done, but it is what it is as my wife keeps telling me!
I'm sure the other enlightened members will be along to say hi soon.
Sorry to hear that you're feeling so anxious- I know that that in itself is enough to stop us in our tracks before we even start on the varied range of ms symptoms! It sounds like you've hit a bit of a reality check and although you've been coping so well, it's really daunting to realise how quickly new symptoms, relapses or flare ups can suddenly appear. I know we're all different, but when I start to feel anxious I try to go back to the basics and remind myself that I am still the same person and that there are lots of things that I can still manage and take control over. Breathing exercises help to calm the panicky feelings- I was sceptical about that, but they do work. I got some apps for my phone that help to get a focus back. I have also learnt that the panic makes my walking worse, so it can all become a vicious circle.
Hope this helps and that you hear from your team soon.
@daveo , on issue one, it does sound like one of your original symptoms that are playing up again. This may be your body letting you know that it's not happy with you. You may have overdone it, got stressed or eaten something that your body now can't tolerate like it used to.
So, it's the weekend. Get your feet up and do some chillaxing and see if things improve.
There's some useful information about relapses here, https://www.mstrust.org.uk/about-ms/ms-symptoms/managing-relapses .
And, it's not a direct ride either, you can double-back and revisit phases. However, it can take a year or more to get to the destination of acceptance.
personally i've been advised before that if it is a new symptom that counts as a relapse but deffo i would contact your neuro nurse or Doc for confirmation. Seek advice and support especially as you are new to all this.
As for anxiety, it is absolutely a horrible feeling, early on i struggled with it within 3 months of my ON ( my first symptom too ) Its not an irrational fear by the way, it makes perfect sense to be worried.
Drs prescribed me Propanalol (beta Blocker) which slows and steadies your heart rate; for about a year i used it on and off – i was reassured to learn that this is common when trying to adjust to a horrible situation. 18 months on I no longer need it, but that's not to say that i have accepted my diagnosis. Everyone is different and some can manage without medication but in my experience anxiety is an even more horrible symptom than depression. I hope you find your GP as helpful as mine has been.
Thanks for your input, folks. I will be trying to relax, watching some Lego movies with the kids should do it.
I guess I fooled myself into thinking I was on top of everything. In fact I thought it had been dealt with and was already at acceptance, but clearly not.
I'm planning on going to see my gp on Monday with the hope of receiving some anxiety medication as a short term plan. The long term plan would be some kind of CBT or therapy. Does that sound sensible?
Hey! I had super severe anxiety before my diagnoses and didn't know why. I wasn't in denial because I didn't know what was wrong and didn't have many symptoms yet. I couldn't even leave my house and driving in a car was horrible. It would make me physically sick. I've heard other people reporting getting severe anxiety as well. Then shortly before diagnosis I went numb to emotions. Not sure if it was because I always felt drunk or sedated when I wasn't, but it's the one symptom of mine that I don't mind because it took the anxiety away. I also had trouble with my legs and started PT which would help temporarily and then I would have a set back. It got to the point where I couldn't really move or feel my left leg. My neuro has me go to the hospital and it turned out I was having a relapse. Steroids don't work on me so they did plasmapheresis which was great. I could move and feel it again immediately. I was on Tecfidera, but after the relapse switched to ocrevus and it has helped tremendously. I've only been on it for a couple months, but a lot of my symptoms have lessened or even disappeared. My legs are starting to feel normal again when they had been numb and tingling for over a year. I wish you the best of luck!
I have and still do experience the irrational fear/anxiety thing, not daily but a few times a week.
The way I mange it is simple, I don't, despite trying to do so by taking deep breaths and the standard calming techniques of pausing, taking things slowly and rational thinking, etc.
But, MS and rational thinking are not good friends, it would seem.
So take the safest, easiest option, is the only bit of advice I can offer really.
Hi Daveo, I was diagnosed about a year and a half ago and like yourself, it was a complete and utter bombshell… first symptoms of ON in May, diagnosed in August! Anxiety is really really common, but given everything that we have had to deal with and come to terms with it's hardly surprising that anxiety can run away with itself!
I work in a primary care mental health service as an assistant psychologist, and we offer CBT and other therapies that work wonders for low mood and anxiety! My advice would be to speak to your GP or even self refer to your local IAPT service. CBT is the evidence based approach for anxiety and I can speak from personal and professional experience, that it really is very effective at helping to manage anxiety and reduce the impact that it has!
Hope this is helpful and that things feel better for you soon.
By the way, forgot to say, will be very interesting to see if you get any CBT. Apparently despite all the recent hype a) you can't get it, and b) if you can in your area, it is down to your GP, and if he has a conscious and doesn't believe in cannabis in any form he can refuse to prescribe you any. Great isn't it, the government says yes, but your gp can refuse to treat you, work that one out!
@grandma CBT is a form of therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy. I think you're thinking of CBD. I don't know what it's like in the UK, but CBD in the US is legal everywhere because it doesn't have the THC from marijuana in it so it can't get you high. Marijuana is only legal here in 23 states I believe. I hope you're doing well!
So, thanks to all who took the time to reply. It has been very useful. I saw the gp today and I've been prescribed some anti depressants that also help reduce anxiety problems and I'll be signing up for CBT in the near future. The mental battle is equal to the physical and I realise this now.

Q: how to determine whether a variable is array in Painless, Elasticsearch I want to remove an element in array, if the field is not array, do nothing.
if (ctx._source?.field != null) {
  ctx._source.field.remove(ctx._source.field.indexOf('value'))

In order to do so, it has to determine whether the field is an array, or exception is expected.
How?
In addition, is there detailed instruction of Painless? There is only get-started in elasticsearch website.

Lilian Gish recovering in Germany in the 30's
Bad Nauheim – Germany
Over the years, the Nauheim World Bath has visited many famous people. At the beginning of the thirties this undoubtedly included the American film actress Lilian Gish.
The Bad Nauheim Kurliste noted from 24 May to 1 July 1931 and from 11 August to 14 September 1932 respectively the presence of "Miss Lilian Gish from New York" in the sanatorium Groedel. The artist was recovering from strenuous film activity alleviating her heart disease. Under the supervision of the internationally known cardiologist Prof. Dr. med. Franz M. Groedel, who was known to her from New York, she recovered far away from the movie hustle and bustle.
An eyewitness of that time reported on the delicate figure of the young woman with the dark blond bob, whose lips always played a friendly smile. After the morning brine bath and the subsequent rest period, she left the Sanatorium in the Terrassenstraße every day at lunchtime to purchase the latest edition of The New York Herald Tribune in a nearby bookstore.
Lillian Gish at Bad Nauheim Germany
After all, during her absence from New York, she also wanted to be informed about the events in the megacity. An eyewitness who was working in the area of ?? the in-house physiotherapy of the sanatorium Groedel, remembered the extremely pleasant way of dealing with the movie star. Miss Gish speaks fluent in the German language, her appearance has been restrained and modest.
Judging by the success, she had already admitted to a few "celebrity doors", as she could already look back on an almost 20-year film career. As a child star, she was already on stage at the age of seven. From 1912 to 1922 Lilian Gish worked in more than seventy silent film productions of her discoverer D. W. Griffith. Hotly courted by MGM, she moved to director King Vidor in 1924 and has since been the "star" of the Metro Goldwyn Mayer film company. From 1930, the sound film began its triumphal procession. Until then, the delicate and fragile-looking artist, the "eternal child-woman" had inspired her audience with gestures and the expression of her fascinating face, even without the help of her voice. But Lilian Gish succeeded effortlessly, which many actors did not succeed, she continued her work successfully in the sound film. *(translated from German)

As India Suffers COVID Catastrophe, Worried LA Diaspora Raises Funds — And Awareness
By Josie Huang
Published May 4, 2021 4:55 PM

Some 8,000 miles from her parents and brother in India, Nidhi Singh Rathore has been sitting in her Pasadena apartment worrying about a second wave in coronavirus that's sickened millions back home. Like many in the diaspora, she's struggling with what could befall loved ones and India's most vulnerable and poor residents.
"Honestly, in the past few days, it has been difficult to wake because you just don't want to [find] things that are worse than they were the day before," Rathore said.
People wait to get a dose of the Covishield vaccine against the Covid-19 coronavirus at the vaccination center of BLK-Max hospital in New Delhi on May 4, 2021.
(Prakash Singh
Unable to fly back to help — travel between the U.S. and India is now restricted — Rathore has joined the 4.6-million-strong Indian American community in raising funds — and awareness. Until recent weeks, the pleas of patients' families for hospital beds and oxygen were little covered in the media here.
Rathore, a design researcher for the city of Los Angeles who came to the U.S. to study at ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, mocked up a T-shirt that reads in Hindi and Urdu: "Help India Breathe."
In a matter of days, she's raised more than $1,000 in T-shirt sales and donations for the distribution of oxygen cylinders through the Hemkunt Foundation.
Part of Rathore's motivation in designing T-shirts was to alert people outside of India to how dire the situation is there — contrary to the rosier picture painted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Premature Victory Called
In January, while Los Angeles County was struggling through a deadly surge, Modi declared his country's triumph over COVID during a speech to the World Economic Forum.
Now, as Los Angeles opens up, India is trapped in its darkest moment of the pandemic. The surge followed large political rallies and religious festivals allowed by Modi's government, which also exported vaccines when its own population was still largely unvaccinated.
"I started suddenly hearing about my family members getting sick," said Shikha Bhatnagar, former executive director of the Artesia-based South Asian Network. "My aunt passed away in Delhi about a week-and-a-half ago and it happened very, very quickly."

Bhatnagar, who emigrated to the U.S. with her family when she was three-years-old, said the diaspora's strong response to the crisis in India stems from a culture that emphasizes extended family and community. That's underscored by the fact that India receives more remittances — money sent back home by people living in other countries — than any other nation.
"Immigrants and children of immigrants still very much have one foot in the home country," Bhatnagar said.
Concern About Backlash
The devastating setback in India comes as the Indian American community is recovering from last month's mass shooting at a Fed Ex facility in Indianapolis in which four Sikh American employees were among the eight people killed.
There is now new concern that Indian Americans and other South Asians will be targeted because of the devastating surge in India in the same way racists attacked Chinese people — or those perceived to be — as the pandemic expanded to the U.S. Bhatnagar pointed to a social media post warning people in New Jersey to stay away from the large Indian American population there because of COVID-19.
"That raises alarm bells that this could very quickly, in this environment, be swept up into an increase in hate crimes or hate incidents," Bhatnagar said.
The South Asian Network, which provides mental health services, has seen an increase in calls from community members who have growing anxiety about world events, according to Bhatnager.
The impact of India's crisis on the diaspora is also weighing on Payal Sawhney, who leads the Cerritos-based Saahas for Cause. Her organization is working to publicize the county's mental health helpline and is also organizing virtual support groups.
"Our community is really in pain and is suffering at this time because most of us are immigrants," Sawhney said. In the U.S., the Indian diaspora is about 68% immigrant. "We are living a split-family lifestyle where part of us are here and part of us are back home in India."
Because so many have close relatives in India, Sawhney's organization has also taken on the task of finding ways for those in the States to have food delivered to loved ones in cities such as Mumbai and New Dehli.
In Los Angeles, television writer Diya Mishra worries a lot about her large extended family in India. She keeps in touch with them over WhatsApp and Instagram, but has found additional relief by taking action. Fundraising efforts by Indian Americans have cropped up nationwide, so Mishra had her pick of initiatives to support.
She chose a GoFundMe project to buy oxygen concentrators, launched by several doctors of Indian descent, and asked her friends and professional network to pitch in. To her surprise, she's raised over $11,500 at last count.
"It's not just donating," Mishra said. "It's bringing things into public conversations and recognizing a pain that's different from yours."
The global pandemic, she said, has underscored how interconnected people are.
"L.A. might be opening up but the rest of the world isn't," Mishra said. "What's happening elsewhere continues to affect us. And we have to care. Not just about India, but we have to care about everywhere."

Animas River Hat Meshback – Sendero Provisions Co.
Out in southwestern Colorado, the Animas River rises clear and cold out of the beautiful San Juan mountains. The River of the Lost Souls, as it was first called by early Spanish explorers, is home to some of America's best whitewater, biggest trout, and most spectacular scenery. Grab a ticket to ride on the Durango and Silverton narrow gauge railroad, and let the steam engines pull you under the shadows of towering mountains and maroon canyon walls. Once you've arrived at your destination, float your way back down the spectacular Colorado wilderness. After the day is done, grab a cold one and relax on the seat of your raft. At last, you've learned how the Animas just keeps on stealing souls.


Llamas and lights. So poetic, right? Somehow they just go together. Llamas are, as I'm sure you know, the IT animal now, practically an icon with the number of graphic tees it graces.
A few years back I made these Marshmallow Chocolate Grahams for my friends at Cisco Home in LA. This store is beyond fabulous, and it's known for coining a ubiquitous slogan in town: MADE IN LA.
Bring it on December! I know that technically after Thanksgiving, the official winter holiday season begins. Not by store or retail standards, heck that started practically in July.
Woodland critters?!? How could you not think of the holidays with these cuties? As we speak, I'm currently sitting in my hot LA kitchen conjuring up a forested winter wonderland, with a blanket of snow on the ground, a moose and a hedgehog frolicking among the trees.
For Steves on this Father's Day, I opted for one of his favorite combinations: a chocolatey cheesecake. I made a Chocolate Cheesecake Brownie, and because he's so stylish, I cut the brownies into neckties and bowties.
I've got little green rascals on the brain…! With St. Patty's Day fast approaching, I thought these Green Glass Cookies would be a fun way to get my boys into the kitchen.
Feeling lucky? These Saint Patrick's Day Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches carry fun little messages on them, just glistening as if you spotted them in a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

New Royal Baby Pics -- See First Official Photos of Prince George!
Entertainment By TooFab Staff | 8/19/2013 7:30 PM PT
The Royal Baby is ready for his first official closeup.
While we already got a glimpse of Prince George when Prince William and Kate Middleton (AKA Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge) left the hospital with him back in July, today they released their first family portraits -- showing the little guy with his proud parents.
Kate is literally glowing as she holds onto her precious cargo, who is fast asleep in her arms -- while William holds onto the family's Cocker Spaniel, Lupo.
In an additional photo, the two pose with the baby while standing up. Sorry Lupo, no love this time.
The pics were taken by Kate's father, Michael Middleton -- a break from tradition, as the Palace usually hires a professional photographer for the first portraits.
William is also opening up about being a father in an upcoming one-hour special for CNN.
"He's a little bit of a rascal, I'll put it that way," the Prince says of his son. "He either reminds me of my brother or me when I was younger, I'm not sure."
"Catherine is very well, Lupo is coping ... He's been slobbering around the house a lot, so he's happy," William adds.
"We were happy to show him off to whoever wanted to see him," he adds about the baby's grand hospital exit. "As any new parent knows, you're only too happy to show off your new child and, you know, proclaim that he is the best looking or the best everything."

FinTech Startup Leverages Technologies to Make Wealth Building Smarter, Simpler and More Affordable
"Our mission is using algorithm and AI based technology to make wealth building smarter, simpler and more affordable for everyone in Hong Kong and beyond."
Kelvin Lei and Don Huang, Co-founders, AQUMON
1. Please briefly describe the background of your company, its origin and development milestones.
AQUMON is a startup in the FinTech space. We aim to make sophisticated investment advice cost-effective, transparent and accessible to both institutional and retail markets, via the adoption of scalable technology platforms and automated investment algorithms. Since our launch, we have partnered with 50+ financial institutions, including ChinaAMC, Bank of China International (BOCI) and BOC HK Asset Management. Our investors include Alibaba Entrepreneurs Fund, BOCI and HKUST.
AQUMON is one of the first robo-advisors in Hong Kong to be fully licensed by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
2. Why did the company decide to set up an office in Hong Kong? What do you think about the startup ecosystem in Hong Kong?
With a strong research orientated DNA, AQUMON was incubated at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) in early 2016. We subsequently also launched an A.I. laboratory in collaboration with HKUST's Mathematics Department. Aiming to serve Hong Kong investors and institutional clients, we set up our first office in Hong Kong, and subsequently opened branches in Shenzhen and Singapore.
We believe that the startup ecosystem in Hong Kong is robust and supportive, though some hurdles do exist, including the utilization of the market in Mainland China, the compliance requirement in different environments, as well as the distinctive client base and preferences.
3. Could you share with us the strategic plans of your company in Hong Kong and in the region? What is your company's value proposition in the market?
AQUMON is a leading player in Hong Kong's robo-advisor space. We strive to democratize finance via the combination of automated algorithms and a scalable technology platform. AQUMON uses both traditional financial engineering techniques and leading A.I. techniques, to provide wealth management services to those who have been previously neglected.
AQUMON operates in three business lines, and Robo Advisory contributes to around 75% of revenue in the past 3 years:
The direct offering of robo-advisor products to retail investors in Hong Kong and Mainland China.
A.I. investment solution: AQUMON offers a wide variety of absolute return investment algorithms.
Robo-advisory solution provider: AQUMON offers white-label solutions to financial institutions in Mainland and Hong Kong.
4. Could you share with us the highs and lows of your entrepreneurship journey? What does it take for a startup to be successful in Hong Kong?
Since the inception of our company in 2016, we spent the first two years in building our algorithm library, our R&D and I.T. team, whom originate and manage the solutions to both retail and institutional clients. For marketing and retail business expansion, especially with many retail clients who unfamiliar with our offerings, we conducted many series of promotional events to attract and retain clients in the first two years. At the same time, our B2B business line has been expanding steadily, which brought stable revenue growth, and solid long-term partnerships with some of the most sophisticated institutions in both Mainland China, Hong Kong and Singapore.
5. Do you have any advice for others who are looking to launch a startup in Hong Kong?
We believe the winning formula is a competitive advantage in technology, the potential market opportunities in Asia and the availability of talent. For those who wish to launch a startup in Hong Kong, we advise in recruiting talent from various background and experiences to spur creative thinking and problem solving. Furthermore, take advantage by hiring within Hong Kong's robust academic and technology communities. Given the size of Hong Kong's market we would also recommend that startup entrepreneurs expand into other markets in the Asia Pacific region given the enormous potential of the region.
6. In what ways has InvestHK assisted your company in its setup and development? In your opinion, why are our services provided important for companies like yours?
Our track record reflects our experiences in working with some sophisticated institutions in Hong Kong, as well as the industry's recognition of our algorithm and I.T. capacities. We hope to get connected with potential institutional clients, and engage in the startup community via InvestHK's events.

MARGIE HINES SINGS - 1933
Margie Hines was the first of six women that Max Fleischer hired to give Betty Boop a voice. She also was the last to voice Betty, on the final cartoon of the series - Rhythm On The Reservation.
Hines made her big break in show business by winning a "Boop-Oop-A-Doop" contest held by Fleischer. In the early 1930's Hines provided voices for Van Buren Studio's cartoon series' Aesop's Fables and Tom and Jerry. Hines first voiced Betty Boop from 1930-1932, and she was brought back from 1938-1939 to do the last episodes of the series. She is also widely known as the voice of Olive Oyl from 1939-1944 in Fleischer's Popeye The Sailor series. In addition, Hines also did voices in other Fleischer films, such as in Gulliver's Travels and Mr Bug Goes To Town, and she also appeared in Fleischer's short-lived Stone-Age series.
In 1938, Hines first met her co-star in the Popeye series - Jack Mercer, the voice of Popeye. By the end of the year the two were married. The real-life wedding of Popeye to Olive Oyl created quite the buzz at the time.

Computer scientists and art historians have combined their skills to revisit the painting style of Rembrandt, using a database of the Dutch master's work.

A collaboration of data technicians from Microsoft and specialists from Dutch universities have completed an 18-month project to produce a 'new' portrait by Rembrandt, one of Europe's greatest painters; the original Dutch master lived from 1606 to 1669.
They examined the classical painter's entire collection of work, some 346 paintings that yielded 150 gigabytes of digitally rendered graphics.
"There's a lot of Rembrandt data available — you have this enormous amount of technical data from all these paintings from various collections. And can we actually create something out of it that looks like Rembrandt? That's an appealing question," said Joris Dik from the Delft University of Technology.
Their statistics showed that that the majority of Rembradt's paintings were created between 1632 and 1642. In order to determine who the subject of the new painting should be, they analyzed everything from age and head direction to the amount of facial hair present.
The experts explain how "The Next Rembrandt" was created.
"After studying the demographics, the data lead us to a conclusive subject: a portrait of a Caucasian male with facial hair, between the ages of thirty and forty, wearing black clothes with a white collar and a hat, facing to the right," the researchers explained.
In order to stay accurate to the style of Rembrandt, who has been called "The Master of Light and Shadow," the technicians designed a software system to generate the painting's features, based on the artist's use of geometry, composition, and painting materials. A facial recognition algorithm identified and classified the most typical geometric patterns used by Rembrandt to paint human features.

After completing the 2D image, the experts studied 3D scans of Rembrandt's paintings to create a height map for the 3D printer, using two different algorithms that found texture patterns of canvas surfaces and layers of paint.
"In the end, we printed thirteen layers of ink, one on top of the other, to create a painting texture true to Rembrandt's style."
"It would have been interesting to see Rembrandt looking at it. He would be happy that there are people trying to understand him and trying to create something out of that," the team said.

Le Parc des sept roches, ou parc paysager du lac de la constellation de Zhaoqing (肇庆星湖风景名胜区), est un parc situé au nord de la ville chinoise de Zhaoqing. Il tire son nom des sept rochers disposés sur son contour qui dessinent la Grande Casserole de la constellation de la Grande Ourse.

Histoire
Du fait de l'évocation stellaire des sept rochers du parc, les mythes qui lui sont reliés lui prêtent une origine cosmique. Un mythe explique que les 7 rochers sont des pierres miraculeuses déposées par la déesse Nuwa quand elle répara le ciel. Un autre mythe raconte que sept fées admirant la vie sur terre se sont posées au lac de Zhaoqing et n'en sont jamais parties.

Au moins jusqu'au XVIe siècle, le parc est inondé au moins tous les 5 ans.

Le palais Eau Lune (aussi appelé Guanyi Hall) est construit pendant la dynastie Ming. Il gagne une réputation dans le pays pour son Bodhisattva, sa statue de bronze de 6 mètres de haut pour 7 tonnes, entouré de deux statues de fées de 5 mètres chacune (aujourd'hui des répliques datant de 1986, les originales ayant péri dans les flammes lors de la révolution culturelle). Le palais est détruit en 1943 par les forces japonaises, puis reconstruit à l'identique en 1957.

L'arche situé dans le parc est bâti en 1958-59. Il est rénové en 1984-85, et 1.400 m² du lac jouxtant l'arche ont été remplis pour agrandir la zone piétonne autour du monument.

Le parc des sept roches est proclamé parc national le .

Le temple bouddhiste de l'est est bâti en 1995-96. En 1997, les autorités locales installent 560 routes illuminées dans le parc, avec 1.000 ampoules, 250 projecteurs colorés et 3.000 mètres de tubes de néon.

Description
Le parc des sept roches se situe à 4 kilomètres au nord de la ville de Zhaoqing. La température moyenne à l'année est de 21,6⁰. Le lac de la constellation n'est pas naturel, il s'agit de marécages transformés grâce à un élégant système de barrages.

Les sept rochers se nomment Langfeng, Yuping, Shishi, Tianzhu, Chanchu, Xianzhang et Apo Crag.

Le parc du lac compte également huit caves et 6 crêtes. Chaque cave est différente. La cave de Shuangyuan fait 320 mètres de long, connecte le lac de la constellation à un autre lac environnant, et peut se traverser en bateau.

Inscriptions de falaises
Le parc des sept roches est un des rares sites en Chine contenant de larges inscriptions peintes sur les flancs des falaises. 523 inscriptions ont été apposées depuis la dynastie Tang, et sont plutôt bien préservées. les inscriptions sont en chinois, et parfois en langues étrangères (tibétain, espagnol). La plus ancienne est l'inscription de Li Yong de la salle de pierre. Elle mesure 1,09 mètre de haut, sur 0,79 de large. La date de création pour 44 inscriptions n'a pas pu être identifiée.

CannaCrowd is a Cannabis-oriented offshoot of Reg CF platform GridShare, offering low-minimum investments in cannabis and hemp-related startups and open to all investors. Current selection is limited, but cannabis is a "growing" niche worth watching as CannaCrowd hopefully expands their selection (and improves their website). For now there are better choices for investor looking at cannabis and hemp startups.
While there have been a sprinkling of cannabis-related offerings on other crowdfunding platforms, CannaCrowd is one of a growing crop (ha!) of niche platforms oriented specifically around cannabis-related investments. CannaCrowd is an offshoot of Title III Funding Portal GridShare, founded and operated by Jack Jacobs and Jon Norling, both attorneys and supporters of the renewable energy and cannabis industries.
CannaCrowd offers investments in startups and growth companies in the cannabis and hemp industry. As of this writing there is only one available offering, a Hemp magazine.
What do you get when investing with CannaCrowd?
Details vary by investment, though in their information for issuers, CannaCrowd suggests they offer both debt and equity investments. With Reg CF investments, investors are issued securities directly by the issuing company, rather than via a special-purpose entity (SPE) like an LLC.
CannaCrowd does not charge any fees directly to investors. They charge offering companies a range of fees associated with listing their offerings, as well as 5% of the capital raised as a success fee (or $5,000, whichever is greater – and since the maximum raise under Reg CF is $107,000, that means the fee will always be at least $5,000).
Investments on CannaCrowd are high-risk investments in startups. Except under very limited circumstances, the investment must be held for at least 12 months, with minimal expectation of any market after that period. Most startup investments lose some or all of their value.
CannaCrowd (via GridShare) is an SEC registered Title III Funding Portal, which means they are subject to a range of rules and obligations around investor education and due diligence. All companies offering investments on CannaCrowd will have been through background checks of key officers and owners, and there are clear links provided to the relevant SEC filings made by the offering company. Prospective investors also have access to online forums to talk with other investors, and an online channel for asking questions of the company raising funds (and viewing answers of prior questions from others).


The latest Marketing Trends Survey from The Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) shows advertising's dominance is being challenged by other media as technology drives change in the sector.
The Marketing Trends Survey reveals that most marketers say advances in technology are accelerating the pace of change. Of those questioned, 90% think marketing is a "dynamic and constantly evolving profession" and 86% say marketing has unquestionably changed over the past three decades.
Technology was seen as the main reason for this transformation (97%); change in consumer attitudes was listed by 63% as a key driver; 45% cited global competition; and 36% named the development of customer relationship management.
The survey also shows that advertising will account for just under 15% of marketing spend on average. While it still accounts for the largest share of marketing budget, lead generation and customer relationship management (both 12%) are not far behind. Direct mail accounts for 11%, field marketing 11% and internal marcoms 7%.
Marketers plan to increase spending on online marketing by an average of 3.6%, while the average spent on advertising will fall by 0.2%. This is a smaller reduction than predicted in spring last year, when budgets were cut by 1.5% (MW April 13, 2006).
The alcohol industry has expressed outrage over the Governments threat of further legislation on advertising and price promotion, without prior consultation or warning.
