Super Class Terpenes: Beta-caryophyllene
An October 2022 study entitled "Effects of Super-class Cannabis Terpenes Beta-caryophyllene and Alpha-pinene on Zebrafish Behavioral Biomarkers" that was published in the journal Scientific Reports suggested the existence of a special subclass of terpenes that it dubbed super class terpenes.
"There are more than fifty cannabis terpenes most commonly found in North American cannabis strains, eight of which predominate to form a 'Terpene Super Class,'" explained the study.
The eight super class terpenes identified by this pinnacle study include alpha-pinene, beta-caryophyllene (BCP), humulene, limonene, linalool, myrcene, ocimene, and terpinolene. Higher Learning LV investigates each of these important terpenes in our Super Class Terpenes series.

"More than fifty cannabis terpenes are commonly found in North American cannabis strains, eight of which predominate to form a 'Terpene Super Class.'"
Beta-caryophyllene Overview
Beta-caryophyllene (β-caryophyllene), often called BCP and sometimes simply caryophyllene, is one of the most common terpenes in cannabis/hemp/marijuana. While myrcene is typically touted as being the most abundant terpene produced by cannabis, some testing laboratories have identified BCP as the most common terpene within their test samples.
It is produced by many botanical species beyond cannabis, including basil, black caraway, black pepper, cloves, cinnamon, cananga odorata, copaiba, hops, lavender, malabathrum, oregano, rosemary, and West African pepper.
Black pepper is a top source of BCP
BCP was discovered in 1964 by Israeli researcher Raphael Mechoulam, the same scientist who discovered and isolated cannabigerol (CBG) and who first synthesized delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol in the same year.
In a 2008 study summarized below, German scientists observed that this terpene exhibited cannabinoid-like characteristics and interacts with the human endocannabinoid system (ECS) via the CB2 receptors located primarily in the glands, organs, and tissues of the immune system. It is via this mechanism that BCP is able to reduce inflammation—very much like a cannabinoid such as CBD, CBG, or THC. In fact, BCP is the only terpene known to bind with the CB2 receptors of the ECS.
"BCP was discovered in 1964 by Israeli researcher Raphael Mechoulam, the scientist who discovered and isolated CBG and THC in the same year."
This unique terpene delivers an aroma and flavor that is spicy and peppery, with notes of earthiness. Beta-caryophyllene can be found in the cannabis cultivars (strains) Death Star, Sour Bubble, and Sour Diesel.
Beta-caryophyllene's potential medicinal benefits include efficacy against pain, anxiety, and depression. It has also been found to show potential positive efficacy for neurological disorders associated with dementia, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's.
Multiple research studies have revealed that BCP is one of three terpenes—along with humulene and myrcene—that are commonly found together in particular cultivars and chemotypes of cannabis and hemp.
BCP Fast Facts
Aroma: Spice and pepper
Flavor: Spice and pepper, earthy
Boiling point: 214° F (101° C) (PubChem)
Molecular: Bicyclic sesquiterpene
Source cultivars: Death Star, Sour Bubble, and Sour Diesel
Medicinal efficacy: Anti-inflammatory, analgesic (pain killing)
Producing plants: Basil, black pepper, cloves, cinnamon, hops, rosemary
Uniqueness: Only terpene to bind with ECS CB2 receptors
Peer-reviewed scientific studies have revealed a range of potential positive medicinal outcomes delivered by BCP, including dominant anxiety and depression reduction and a better ability to encourage skin wound healing than conventional drugs.
A 2022 study entitled "Beta-caryophyllene as an Antioxidant, Anti-inflammatory, and Re-epithelialization Activities in a Rat Skin Wound Excision Model" that was published in the journal Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity explored the "wound healing potential and pharmacological mechanisms" of BCP with rodent study subjects.
The study's authors reported that BCP is a "volatile compound that is poorly soluble in water and has high pharmaceutical potential due to its analgesic, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory activities."
BCP molecular structure
The researchers reported that BCP produced better results in terms of healing skin than a range of conventional drugs. The study identified some of the underlying biochemical mechanisms involved in these results, including "increasing collagen synthesis in the central area of wounds during the first period of cutaneous healing."
The study noted that the 1 percent BCP topical it used to treat the mice "enhanced skin wound healing through antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, wound contraction, re-epithelialization, and remodeling mechanisms."
"This study provides good evidence that 1% β-caryophyllene has great potential for use in treating full-thickness skin wounds."
It concluded that its results "demonstrated the potential of β-caryophyllene in skin wound therapy compared with three reference drugs, with better results in wound healing compared to reference drugs." The study also noted the acceptable safety profile of the tested BCP formulation, reporting "no systemic toxicity."
"This study provides good evidence that one percent β-caryophyllene has great potential for use in treating full-thickness skin wounds, demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of this drug as a future alternative treatment for wound healing," summarized the research.
A 2008 study entitled "Beta-caryophyllene is a Dietary Cannabinoid" that was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America explored how BCP "selectively binds to the CB2 receptor" and its role as a "functional CB2 agonist."
10 to 200 mg of BCP could "potentially modulate inflammatory and other pathophysiological processes via the endocannabinoid system."
The research reported that BCP is "the first Cannabis-derived functional CB receptor ligand with a fundamentally different structure from the classical cannabinoids." It noted that BCP—despite the fact that it is a terpene, not a cannabinoid—demonstrates significant cannabimimetic effects. The study noted that BCP may contribute to the "overall effect of Cannabis preparations."
The study's authors reported that 10 to 200 mg of BCP could "potentially modulate inflammatory and other pathophysiological processes via the endocannabinoid system" and that, for this reason, additional research is warranted.

I pay a visit to my blog and I found myself staring flatly at my pictures. It is happening more and more often these days. It is not the quality of my photography that makes me feel inadequate but rather the blank space in between the images.
It's time for a confession (I know you like confessions): I'm in a love/hate relationship with food. Certainly, I'm a person who enjoys cooking and fine cuisine but, outside of my blog, I can also dine with cookies or boiled eggs, if necessary. A drama that keeps me out of all the MasterChef auditions in the world.
While you will never see me eating cookies (unless I deliberately decide to show this obnoxious aspect on Instagram), I have the problem of filling the blank space in between the images. I am this girl who deeply loves writing but – because of uncertainties, doubts and fears – doesn't always find the activity of "food writing" a spontaneous and easy one.
Right now, for example, I would rather tell you about my sorrow after yesterday's tragic events that saw 12 people killed during a terrorist attack in Paris. I would tell you how much I am missing my life in London, although I used to complain quite a lot about it. The fact is that I don't quite feel like addressing the topic "cute mascarpone cake".
I know, I know… the show must go on.
However tricky I find this writing about recipes (they are just a tiny part of my life!), I reckon that my blog is nothing else than a safe space where a recipe can act as the antidote against those moments of doubt and, why not, even sorrow. As such, it has a therapeutic value. Kind of.
A more serious note, better suited to the food blogger position: this cheesecake went through a significant deflating moment while it was still in the oven. It was supposed to stand tall. Meh.
After a first moment of disappointment I resolved that I would rather judge it for the taste than for the original plan. I let the cake (and my disappointment) rest half an hour, then I tried a slice. My mum ate two slices in a row. Boy if it was tasty. We decided that a layer of strawberry jam would add a touch of color and a fruity note.
Ultimately, the therapeutic function of a slice of cake was confirmed.
In a medium bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, sugar, softened butter and milk. Whisk the mixture until smooth, let cool .
Preheat oven to 160°C. Lightly butter a 7-inch loose-bottom pan, line the bottom and sides with buttered parchment paper.
Beat yolks, add to the cheese mixture; add in lemon juice and mix well. Sift in the cake flour in two additions, mix well until smooth.
In a large bowl, beat egg whites until stiff and gradually add sugar and beat for a few seconds more. Add the egg white mixture to the cheese mixture and slowly fold the mixture well.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and tap pan on counter to remove air bubbles.
Bake in a water bath at 160°C for 30 minutes then lower to 140°C and bake for another 30 to 40 minutes. If the cake begins to brown on top, cover loosely with foil. Let rest in the oven with the oven door slightly open, about 30 minutes. Let cake cool completely before removing from the pan. Glaze with strawberry jam, or whichever jam you prefer.
Looks lovely. I will try the mascarpone cheesecake tomorrow!
This gorgeous cheesecake sure looks and sounds therapeutic!
A beautifully honest post and a really gorgeous cake. I only recently started a food blog after being in the Lifestyle/Personal blog world for a while. It's an interesting place- readers are there for your recipes but I think most also enjoy getting to know you a little bit.
This cheesecake looks amazing, Daniela! I absolutely love your pictures. I would do anything for a slice right now!
Very true. Sometimes it's really difficult to focus on the topic while writing. Luckily Dave and I can inspire each other with stories and ideas, in case one of us is not really in writing mood.
I totally hear you, sometimes it's hard to put your thoughts into words…especially when you're trying to have it flow with a recipe and food pictures, and when you're feeling sad, confused, in a weird space, etc. But, know that you're not alone and that all of us bloggers probably have a tough time with it sometimes!
The photos are gorgeous Daniela! And, this recipe is definitely speaking my language. I am a huge fan of cheesecake! Bring on the forks!
I know what you mean and there are terrible things happening in the world but you know sometimes you also need the flip side and reading a food blog can bring a cheery moment into a mediocre day!
Keeping a singular focus while blogging is so difficult, especially as the world goes on outside the realm of food. I feel the same way a lot, and your post today definitely resonated with me! On a lighter note, I love your cute marscapone cheesecake and the photography is amazing.
I share the same struggles, Daniela. It can be so hard to write about food sometimes! I too want to dig deeper into what's on my mind at the time but it's difficult to make that flow when you're talking about food.


Ever since I was a little girl, I loved to paint. When I was young, my dad used to take my sister and me "sketching." We'd go to parks and the lake and just sketch. I remember going to sketch an old barn more than once. When I was a teenager I was obsessed with drawing faces. I remember getting the latest issue of Tiger Beat and I would draw all the current heartthrobs. Then when I was older and became a mom, I painted murals in my kid's rooms and then later for my grandkids.
About 20 years ago or so, I began faux finishing. I painted everything including walls, floor cloths, cabinets, and furniture. Even the toilet couldn't escape my brush. If it didn't move, I would paint it!
Here are some of the projects that I have done over the years.

Title: The confluence of people, policy, and practice : an examination of the school improvement journeys of restructured schools under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001
Authors: Chang, Jana Wai Hung
Keywords: No Child Left Behind Act of 2001
Date Issued: Dec 2014
Publisher: [Honolulu] : [University of Hawaii at Manoa], [December 2014]
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which the restructuring feature of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) was successful in changing schools' practices in ways that led to their exit from restructuring status. More specifically, this study investigated how changes in schools' educational process factors over time differentiated (a) schools that entered and exited restructuring status and (b) schools that entered but did not exit from a reference group of schools that did not enter restructuring status. The results highlight how strategic improvements in schools' educational processes, when accompanied by shared leadership, contribute to growth in student achievement over time. At least three contributions to research on school improvement were made in this study. First, the results supported the hypothesis that differences in teachers' perceptions of school processes (e.g., improving curriculum, improving student support, improving staff collaboration skills) were related to changes in NCLB-related sanction status; that is, a decrease in perceptions of key educational processes occurred when schools entered restructuring and subsequently, an increase in those indicators occurred as schools began to exit. Second, schools that exited restructuring showed significant improvement over time in their key educational processes and in shared leadership. Third, using piecewise growth modeling to differentiate schools' improvement journeys and multinomial logistic regression to classify schools according to process, staffing, and context factors added to previous studies that primarily used cross-sectional analyses of school variables to measure differences in achievement and/or qualitative case studies of a limited number of schools.

Hey sweeties! In my quest to increase the versatility of my blog I was racking my head for what kind of post I should do. While going through certain comments and blogs online I realized that one area of makeup that piques everyone's interest but causes unending doubt is face contouring I have seen so my vids and pics and what not on how to contour…..some of it makes your head spin!! And all that play with light and dark foundation can go real bad real fast.
I have a heavy face so contouring is something that I feel I need especially not to feel conscious about my face. My biggest dilemma was that I knew how to use darker shades for the evening and get away with it but how to pull it off for the day without it looking OTT. I really didn't want to go down the tedious using 2 color foundation, mix match, blend blend routine which frankly I feel someone can pull off only for pics or events …I highly doubt one can walk down the streets like that. One could….but I doubt I could have pulled it off. So when I went in for my MAC lesson 2 years back this was my main question for the MUA. And this is what I learned. A very simple basic way to do your face contouring…..Lets get started….
The areas that I will need to contour are – area below the cheek bone, side of the face, temples, sides of nose and my main area of concern the chin (or (or double chin). I'm creating a collage of the pics so that this post is not so pic heavy. Please click on each picture to see the enlarged version. If you need any clarification please don't hesitate to ask or if some pic is still not clear even on enlarging then do let me know and I will add the full sized pics sans the collage.
Areas to be contoured. Click on pic to enlarge.
I will be using MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium Deep for contouring along with the MAC 129 brush and Inglot 6SS for the nose. Apart from this I'll be using the MAC Ripe Peach blush and the highlighting powder from the Revlon PhotoReady Sculpting Blush palette in Peach.
Products used for contouring. Click pic to enlarge.
I start by contouring the sides of my face first ie the cheeks. Taking some of the Mineralize powder on the 129 I start from near my ear and bring it across in a diagonal line stopping just below the point that falls near the outer edge of my eye. I do this in a back and forth motion till I achieve my desired look.
Next come the sides ie the area next to your ear and down towards your jaw. I curve it under the jaw in the end. Pull long strokes with the blush. I try to cover a little area just below the ear as well coz I feel that it gives my face a better finish. You should experiment and see how it works for your face type.
I then move to the area under my chin. I try to cover the entire area on the underside of the chin (not the neck) from ear tip to ear tip. This is usually the heaviest area so you need to judge how much you need to hide so that it suits your face.
Then come the temples. The reason this area is done is coz it helps to define the cheek bones better. The top of the sides get some shadow added to it thereby adding some narrowness to your face and giving definition to the outer point of your cheek bone. Start from the temple at a point just outside your iris and move down curving slightly below your cheek bone.
Now if only all of us could be born with an Aquiline nose 😛 But what you were not born with you can fake it (sort of). This I learnt by watching Marlena from Makeup Geek. For this we will switch to the Inglot 6SS brush. Take some powder and start on your nose right where the eyebrow starts and pull a straight line till the end of the nose. Blend the line towards the outer side ie towards the cheek. Do the same on the other side. Now we will make a V shape at the tip of the nose to give it a better definition.
Now add the blush in the same diagonal line just above where you contoured the cheek. Finish the look by adding a little highlighting powder at the highest point of your cheekbone just below the eye. Sweep it out a little in a diagonal line towards the end of your brow. Some people add highlighting powder at other high points of the face but I choose not to do so just to keep the look a little "subtle". You can try those out and if you like the look then go for it.
There is the finished look! Phew!! That was a huge tutorial. I hope you guys liked it and was of some use to you. There are many theories and concepts behind face contouring. This is a very basic and easy to do method. It will help you to understand the play of light and dark on your face and how it can effect your look. Once you have that understanding tucked in your belt you can try out more complex ways to do the same. I do want to try my hand at using the two colors of foundation. Lets see how that will turn for me.
That wraps up this tutorial. Do let me know what you think about it as well as the little touches. I will be seeing you around. Take care! Bye!!


PADUCAH, Ky., Feb. 8, 2018 – Computer Services, Inc. (CSI) (OTCQX:CSVI), a provider of end-to-end technology solutions that empower financial institutions to remain competitive, compliant and profitable, signed five new customer deals following CSI Customer Experience 2017, the company's annual customer conference, last October. The new customers include Studio Bank (In Organization), Kensington Bank, United Community Bank, Neighborhood National Bank and Victory State Bank.
Having attended the conference to experience CSI's approach to technology and service, as well as interact with current customers, the banks selected CSI to implement core banking technology, combined with additional digital banking services, to provide a full suite of integrated solutions to enhance productivity within and outside of the branch. Bank executives from these five institutions commonly said the conference demonstrated the level of service and commitment to innovation they expect to achieve by working with CSI.
CSI Customer Experience 2017, which was held Oct. 9-11, provided both attendees and prospects with access to educational sessions addressing top issues affecting the banking industry, live demonstrations of new fintech solutions and enhancements, and user-centric panels and workshops. These valuable insights inspired these prospects to pursue a business relationship with CSI, and all five banks signed within two months of the conference.
The five financial institutions are situated across the United States, with Victory State Bank in New York; Kensington Bank, United Community Bank and Neighborhood National Bank located in Minnesota; and Studio Bank set in Tennessee.


I am a student at Westfield State University majoring in English and my dream is to become a librarian at the Library of Congress. Sometimes I wonder to myself, after reading a book for about seven hours straight, "what would I do if I was not a reader?" I have come to the conclusion that, were I not a bibliophile, I would most likely end up wasting my time in front of endless screens, ending up similar to the characters from Don DeLillo's White Noise.

Three hot films to see: Thor, Dallas Buyers Club and Blue is the Warmest Color
Volkmar Richter
Matthew McConaughey's reformed homophobe and Chris Hemsworth's hunky Thor are your top choices at the movies this week
It's been a great run. For several weeks now there's been a must-see film opening every Friday. This week there are three, although aimed at quite separate audiences. Gay issues are big. Comic book action is huge and a kids' film is a charmer. Also notice two festivals and a 50-year-old film's local debut.
Here's the list:
Dallas Buyers Club: 4 stars
Blue of the Warmest Color: 4
Thor: The Dark World: 3
Wolf Children: 4 ½
Le Joli Mai: --
Jewish Film Festival –
John Apple Jack: at the Asian Film Fest: 2 ½
THOR: THE DARK WORLD: It's all escalating. Two years after Thor had to save his dad's kingdom of Asgard from one villain, he has a much bigger challenge. The villain this time doesn't just want to destroy a kingdom, or even the earth, as so many others aspire to do in the world of comic book movies. He wants to destroy the universe. He apparently hasn't thought that through all the way but with a band of evil elves (and a Lord of the Rings look for a while) he's looking for a substance called the Aether with which he can bring back the darkness that preceded all life.
Cue Natalie Portman visiting London. Her character accidentally absorbs it and Thor (Chris Hemsworth) whisks her away to Asgard for protection. (Remember they met in the U.S. in the original movie). With dad Odin (Anthony Hopkins) nagging and brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) biding his time in a jail cell, Thor has to find the bad guys before a once-every-5000-years convergence of the planets happens. He also has to bring out Loki to help and you know that won't go smoothly. Neither does the film. This is the kind of movie you watch, even enjoy, but you feel no emotional attachment for. Hemsworth is bland and there's no chemistry between him and Portman. The special effects are strong, but you're always aware they're just effects. There's intermittent humor and an exciting closing battle which gives the impression that we're being wildly entertained. Reasonably-well entertained, I'd say. (Scotiabank, The Dolphin and many suburban theatres) 3 out of 5
DALLAS BUYERS CLUB: Quebecois film people are suddenly all over Hollywood. Check out the evidence: Prisoners (director); upcoming The Book Thief (child actress); upcoming Delivery Man (remake of Starbuck) and just arrived, this tale of a homophobic Texan who fights to get gays the medicine they need. Jean-Marc Vallée is the director of this long-gestating project that looks back to the early days of the AIDS epidemic. He delivers a lively, engrossing story.
And Matthew McConaughey takes another step to becoming a serious actor. His usual beach-boy look is gone because he made himself so gaunt he looks like somebody hanging out at Main and Hastings. His character is diagnosed with HIV and told he has 30 days to live. His friends now direct anti-gay slurs at him and he learns sympathy, even for a forlorn guy played poignantly by Jared Leto. With the days counting down, he starts a service to help the gay community. He brings in medicine illegally from Mexico and thereby kicks off a fight with the U.S. government, the doctors and the drug companies. The story really happened. He outlived the doctor's forecast and the film succeeds at showing all his personal contradictions from opportunist to do-gooder rebel. (International Village) 4 out of 5
BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOR: This film has gone through a lot since it scored the top award at Cannes back in May, and its two leads jointly won the best actress award. The director slammed one of the two and said he had thought of replacing her. They meanwhile slammed him, apparently for being hard to work for. The author of the graphic novel the film is based on said the lesbian sex it simulates feels cold and clinical rather than real. Others have said there sure is a lot of it and the film at three hours is too long. So, should you see it? Sure.
Despite the reputation, it's a fairly conventional love story. Young woman (Adèle Exarchopoulos) falls in love with another (Léa Seydoux), finds her own world expanded and her confidence strengthened until jealousy comes to threaten. What distinguishes this one is the natural pace at which the story plays out. It's so engrossing that, except for a slow spell in the middle, you won't even notice how long it is. The central strand is with schoolgirl Adèle whose passion is awakened by the confident, experienced Léa and has to fight off homophobic slurs among her friends. Emotions surge and fall with powerful emotions and every phase in the story gets support from a parallel discussion of art and philosophy. After Sartre, "we can choose our lives without any higher principle," says Léa. A class discussion asks what exactly is a vice. It doesn't feel didactic though. We get an intimate glimpse into the course of growing up. The sex is intense but not that graphic and I'll agree with the author; it's a shade too cool. (Park Theatre) 4 out of 5
WOLF CHILDREN: One of my favorites at this year's film festival, this is another wonderful work of animation from Japan. This time it's by Mamoru Hosoda, not Hayao Miyazaki or his studio, but he's channeling more than a bit of the master's ambience.

Allstate Foundation Helping Hands Grant for YWCA of Northwest Ohio
YWCA of Northwest Ohio recently received a $1,000 Allstate Foundation Helping Hands in the Community grant on our behalf to support the organization's efforts to help women affected by domestic violence in Northwest Ohio. One in four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime, and financial abuse is the number one reason why women stay in or return to abusive relationships. Without access to money, financial resources or even transportation, victims remain trapped. We're committed to helping survivors in our community have the resources to get help and rebuild their lives, which is why we're proud to support YWCA of Northwest Ohio's work.

Psychologist: Another way to try to understand a quiet part of the family
Some 34,000 users daily visit Dogbook on Facebook
Advice for your pet's blog: "Try to see the world through your pet's perspective"
Next Article in Living »
By Sarah Jio
(LifeWire) -- It goes without saying that Max, a 3-year-old golden retriever can't talk. But that doesn't stop him from chronicling his dog's life -- as told to his owner Aubrey Jones -- on the blog Max the Golden Retriever.
Max the golden retriever blogs about tennis balls, romps in the park and getting his humans to give him treats.
There are trips to the dog park, musings on his owners' socks, confessions about crushes on poodles and, of course, his passion for tennis balls.
"Hey, look, a tennis ball," a December 17, 2007, post reads. "My long-lost tennis ball. ... How many hours has it been since I saw you last?"
These days, it seems everyone from the UPS man to your mother-in-law is a blogger. At last count, the blog search engine Technorati.com shows nearly 113 million blogs on the Internet, and it estimates that more than 120,000 blogs are created each day.
So why shouldn't pets have voices? At least that's the sentiment of lots of pet owners who have set up blogs for their dogs, cats, goldfish and hamsters to channel their household companions online.
Jones, a small-business consultant, says he and his family in Raleigh, North Carolina, get a kick out of Max's blog. "It's a blast," he says. "I was looking for a way of doing something humorous. And I can really see Max in these posts. It's about capturing his energy."
In the process, he's captured other readers, too. Some leave comments on the blog about their own dogs; others have inquired about Max's availability for play dates. "There's a definite connection among dog owners," says Jones.
Max is in good company. Fellow pet scribes include Daisy, a frisky 4-year-old calico cat who writes about chasing lizards in and around her home in Parkland, Florida, along with catnip capers and modeling the latest kitty couture clothing. After each of her posts, between 50 and 150 fans, many of them masquerading as felines, leave comments.
Some pets are part of their owner's social network. Some 34,000 users daily visit Dogbook on Facebook, which allows owners to create "profiles" for their pets. Kitties may be a little neglected with 13,390 daily visits to Catbook.
Little bit of wimsey
Hope McPherson's Jack Russell terrier, Wimsey, joined the blogosphere in 2005. He had everything a pooch could want: doggie daycare, doting nannies, even a seat at the table. "He bows his head when we say grace," says McPherson, "but whines if the prayer gets too long."
Clearly, McPherson thought, Wimsey is a dog who has a lot to say, so to speak. "When he heard about blogging, he was immediately interested," jokes the Seattle resident. "I set him up with a blog and he took it from there."
McPherson, a writer by profession, says Wimsey loves his blog. But the family cat? Not so much.
"She's not amused," McPherson says. "She thinks people spend far too much time fawning over the dog and not recognizing her innate qualities." And there probably isn't a blog in her future. After all, says McPherson, "She's not interested in technology."
So ... Is this crazy?
Psychologist Larina Kase of Philadelphia says there are countless reasons people blog on behalf of their pets. "Pets are part of the family, yet we can't communicate with them about many things, so pet owners may blog about their pets as a way to better understand how their pets think and feel," she says.
And blogging in such a way, Kase says, can help a person connect with other humans, too.
"People bond over shared interests, especially those that they are passionate about. Walking a dog is a great way to meet other dog walkers and people who stop to pet your dog." Blogging, she says, is "21st-century dog walking."
Plus, says Kase, who doesn't want to live vicariously through their pet? "Every pet owner has had a moment when they look at their pet and think, 'I want his life. He eats, naps, goes for a little walk -- what a life.'" She thinks pet blogging might even be an effective way to relieve stress.
Getting your pet a blog
Got a poetic piranha or a chatty tabby? Free blogging platforms such as those at Blogger.com, WordPress.com or LiveJournal.com offer easy ways to set up a blog, whether it's for you or Rover. It doesn't take any special technology skills, either -- just some imagination and creativity.
McPherson offers this advice to would-be pet bloggers: "Try to see the world through your pet's perspective," she says. "It's his or her blog, after all. If you want the blog to be from your own point of view, do your own!" E-mail to a friend

The American photographer Walter E. Hadsell was born in the 1880s. Following graduation from the University of Arizona in 1904, he worked in the Henry Beuhman Photography Studio in Tuscon, Arizona. The studio is described in one source as "Photographers and dealers in Arizona views, moldings, and picture frames." Hadsell lived in Mexico during the years 1910s and 1920s. In 1914 he documented the United States' intervention in Veracruz, know as the Veracruz Incident.
On April 9. 1914, several sailors from the crew of the ship USS Dolphin that was anchored in a restricted dock area in Tampico Mexico, were arrested for an hour and a half by Mexican authorities. President Woodrow Wilson demanded an apology from the Mexican government. However the president of Mexico, Victoriano Huerta, refused to grant any apology for the sailors' arrest. In response, the president of United States sent a fleet to the Gulf of Mexico, and occupied the port of Veracruz.
The following selection of photographs highlight the maritime themes found in the Hadsell Collection. Numbers preceeded by "P" refer to the Maritime Museum of San Diego's catalog number. This is followed by the original numbering provided by Hadsell.


The Complete Guide On Football Betting With Tips, Tricks, and More!
Betting can be easy and a fun way to spend your time, especially if you are a football lover, most people will tell you. This is not entirely true. As much as it's fun, for most people, it's like having another job. The planning that goes into is quite intensive, and it stops being fun at that point.
Sports betting involves predictions, which is a risk altogether. You are not assured of a win, and sometimes, losses are inevitable. It's all just gambling. Therefore, it's not for the faint hearted. Did I mention that betting is also quite addictive? You will find yourself giving it the first try and before you know it, its six months down the line and all that comes to mind when watching football, is how you can make some quick money out of it. I love watching football. Quite frankly, there is no other way I would rather spend my afternoon. For most of us, football is a tradition in our families. And what's better than making fast money from doing what you love the most?
Which player should you watch before placing your bet?
When you decide to place a bet, there are many factors that come into play. I can't say that there is a specific player you should watch before betting. This is because; you mostly look at the whole team. In football, a player might have the skills to influence the game. What you should keep in mind, however, is that winning a game is a team effort. The individual players come together to play as best as they can by combining their skills.
The only time you should watch a particular player is when you want to place a bet that targets the player himself. For instance, when betting on a player to score during the match. In this case, you have to look into the player before the game starts to ascertain whether he is fit to play. Does he have any injuries? Will he be included in the first team or will he be a substitute? These should be some of the questions you ask yourself when analyzing a player. Making these considerations also comes in handy when analyzing the whole team because you would not bet for a team to win, if most of its key players are injured.
Each team has one or two key players. They are the players with really good skills and the most experience. Before placing your bet, it's essential that you also analyze the key players in each game. Their absence may not necessarily mean that the team will lose. However, since they play such a major role, you may consider looking into other games and leaving that particular match alone. Instincts are key when it comes to betting successfully. There are hundreds of matches each day. Why bet on a team you are skeptical of and risk losing?
This is the first rule to successful betting. You have to analyze your games before placing any bets. Look at the players involved, any injuries, the teams' history in terms of performance, and any other vital information regarding the teams. Most of my friends bet every day. It's like their second job. I see them doing their research every chance they get and not one of them can even dream about betting without a prior analysis. Betting is much like gambling. But the best part is, you have the power to influence how you do at it. You might do your analysis but still lose. That is so much better than placing bets carelessly and losing. At least when you do your research, you know what you are dealing with.
You cannot afford to play favorites when it comes to betting. Being biased will only have you making losses. I have encountered people who would rather bet on their favorite teams, regardless of the odds. This may work a few times but not always.
Go for the matches that have good odds. Betting is about making money, and nothing else. Being objective will only make things worse. I have been told that you cannot bet with your heart, use your brain instead.
There are so many betting platforms out there today. Before embarking on this journey, look into different sites and compare their odds. These betting sites all have different odds even when it's the same game. Since you want to make more money, you should go for those sites with the best odds, to get maximum returns. This is the only way you will flourish.
Many people will not tell you this but you would rather bet for one sure game than three. If you have bet before, you will bear me witness that it's always that one game that spoils everything.
And if anything, this is the most frustrating moment when it comes to betting. Knowing that you could have won a lot of money and having just one game make it all go away.
Always keep in mind that this is just a gamble. It's not a sure thing that things will go your way. On that note, do not bet with money you cannot afford to lose. I have seen people using their rent or tuition fees to bet and only end up losing all of it. At this point, you only have yourself to blame.
When you know that it's a risk that can go either way, you are now able to manage your expectations. Despite what the outcome is, you shrug it off and move past that.
Do football betting systems work?
We all know that betting is a risk at this point. Risks do not offer guarantees in any given scenario. It's only a matter of waiting for the outcome without knowing what it might be; a win or a loss. Therefore, betting systems do not work. You might have come across people who try to convince you otherwise. This is always to convince you to buy one of their systems that according to them, will guarantee huge returns. There are different betting systems out there. These include accumulator general, football hedging system, laying the draw, profit maximizer among many others. All these systems offer you high chances of a win and subsequently, even higher returns. They will tell you that you are in big trouble if you don't use systems to manage your betting. That just relying on your gut feeling is not enough. That the systems will enable you make more money than you could ever think of, and even when you are losing, these systems will limit the loss.
According to me, this is just but a fallacy. In the end, the bookies benefit so much more at our expense. You would rather conduct your own analysis and lose instead of putting your hopes in a system that assures you of a win only to make big losses. You will realize that most of these systems look good only on paper. When it comes to putting them in practice, they prove to be less than useful. Their weaknesses outweigh their strengths and this is precisely why I do not advocate for their use. A good example is the Martingale System. This is one of the most popular systems we have out there that just doesn't work that good in real life.
When using this technique, you will be required to double your next bet, for every loss you make. In this case, if you place a bet for $10 and you lose, your next stake should be $20.this should continue until you win a match. Well, ask yourself, what if you end up not winning any match? You will have lost so much money I the process. Is this what you want for a betting system?
Why do some football teams win almost every time?
If you are an avid football fan, you know that there are some teams which seem to win almost every game they play. A good example is Barcelona, a team from Spain. They win most of their games regardless of who they are playing with. Without getting into details, I think that such teams win most games because of the tactics they use. Good tactics would not be efficient were it not for good coaches. A tactical coach is the best thing that can happen to any team. It's the coach who directs the players on what to do on the pitch and without this; even the most skilled players would lack a sense of direction.
In addition to a good coach, you will need good a few above average players. Good players really influence the game and this in turn affects the team in a positive way. They turn out to be players who are looked upon to help the team. In the long run, they become the cornerstone of the team. A good example is Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo. They play a huge role in their team's performance. Moreover, some teams manage to be good due to financial power. These teams normally have financial advantage over the other less 'rich' teams. Financial muscle enables them to attract top talent, facilities, players, coaches and many more. This leads to better results in the field and they end up winning most of their games. A good example is Paris St. Germaine, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Lastly, some teams win almost all their games due to their leagues being less competitive. There are certain leagues which are very poor due to the low standards and the stronger teams end up winning most of the game. A good example is the PSG in the French Ligue 1 and Celtic in the Scottish League.
Betting systems may only be good on paper, but this doesn't mean that you can't make some money out of it. There are many ways that you can try use these systems to make money. Only keep in mind that profits are not guaranteed. Matched betting is probably the most popular way to make money. With matched betting, you are required to bet on both outcomes. In a nutshell, if you place a bet for Chelsea to beat Arsenal, you place a subsequent bet for Arsenal to win. This ensures that you earn money even if one team loses. The best part is, sometimes you don't even need to use your own money for the subsequent bet. You take advantage of the bonus offers given by bookies for beginners.
These offers are given for free in an attempt to lure you to open an account with them. You may lose money in one bet, but this only means you've earned a free bet on the site, that you can use to earn more money. There is so much that is involved with these kinds of bets but once you wrap your head around it, you are good to go. This is just an example of a system you can adopt. With so many systems being out there, it's up to you to try a couple and settle for what works for you.

About Fleck
I have been a professional money manager since 1982. I began writing my daily market commentary in 1996 and launched FleckensteinCapital.com in 2003. Initially, the Market Rap was a daily recap of market events, with an added "Yes, but..." emphasis. I quickly learned that the contrarian viewpoint was often misrepresented and under-reported. Since then, my daily column has always called it like I see it.


The controversial and much-debated auction for the 700MHz spectrum is half a year away. Huge companies voicing many different opinions are all "encouraging" the FCC one way or the other, including Google, Verizon, AT&T and others.
FCC chairman Kevin Martin, a Republican, broke the ice on the issue when he leaned toward some openness for the spectrum. "Depending on how the commission structures the upcoming auction, we will either enable the emergence of a third broadband pipe -- one that would be available to rural as well as urban America -- or we will miss our biggest opportunity."
Google promised $4.6 Billion towards the auction, assuming the rules are crafted to their liking. Comes Tuesday, we'll know what lies ahead. The article makes a good point regarding broadband penetration in the U.S., in which the country has lapsed from being number one to being in the double digits in the past 10 years, showing just how quickly Internet in the rest of the world is progressing compared to the U.S.

2,862 Iraqi patients undergo medical treatment in Abadan and Khorramshahr
Abadan, Dec 8, IRNA – Vice-Chancellor of Abadan Faculty of Medical Sciences Hojatollah Janebi, said on Sunday that 2,864 Iraqi patients have undergone medical treatment at Abadan and Khorramshahr hospitals since the beginning of the Iranian year (March 21).
Arvand Free Trade Zone in the southwestern province of Khuzestan is one of the seven major free trade zones of Iran.
This zone has long been one of the border areas which is prosperous and rich in oil thanks to the existence of Karun and Arvand rivers and also good transportation facilities including road, rail, sea and air.
Lands of this zone have been allocated to industrial activities, and other sectors, such as trade, tourism and office, to ports, warehouses and transit of goods are the investment opportunities for the economic activists.
Hojatollah Janebi said in an interview with IRNA on Sunday that health tourism software will provide the necessary information from regional hospitals, health services and surgeries to health tourists coming to Arvand Free Zone via the Shalemcheh Border.
"Iraqi tourists can get the information they need by installing the software on their mobile phones," he said, referring to the WiFi service provided at nine points at the entrance to Shalamcheh International Border for Iraqi nationals coming to Iran.
The short distance of southern Iraqi cities, especially Basra province to Arvand Free Zone have been helpful for people living in the cities to enjoy medical services and specialized treatments in light of medical facilities in the region.
More than a thousand Iraqi tourists come to the Arvand Free Zone from Shalamcheh Border, many of them use medical services in the hospitals of Abadan and Khorramshahr.
Abadan and Khorramshahr have three hospitals affiliated to Abadan Faculty of Medical Sciences and Hospital of Oil Ministry and Social Security Organization.

Fort Wayne, Indiana – October 27, 2015 - Franklin Electric Co., Inc. (NASDAQ:FELE) reported third quarter 2015 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.45 compared to 2014 third quarter adjusted EPS of $0.50, a 10 percent decrease (see table below for a reconciliation of GAAP EPS to the adjusted EPS). In the third quarter of 2015, the Company's GAAP fully diluted EPS was $0.43, down 7 percent to the GAAP fully diluted EPS from the third quarter of 2014.
Third quarter 2015 sales were $232.5 million, a decrease of 16 percent compared to 2014 third quarter sales of $278.1 million. The Company's organic sales decline was 7 percent excluding acquisitions and the impact of foreign currency translation.
"In the third quarter, the two principle factors behind our 16 percent revenue decline were the continued deterioration of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, and the impact of lower oil prices reducing oil well rig counts, and therefore sharply reducing demand for our Pioneer branded de-watering equipment. However, due to improved costs, sales mix and pricing, the decline in our adjusted operating income, of 17 percent, was significantly less than the decline in the second quarter 2015, and our adjusted operating income margin of 12.7 percent equaled the third quarter of last year.


MADRID – Spain is feeling less pressure to seek European financial aid in the short term because its state borrowing costs have dropped since the European Central Bank announced its offer to buy bonds, a government official said Wednesday.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with government policy, noted Spain's borrowing rates in the bond markets had dropped since the ECB announced its plan, under which it would buy the government bonds of countries that ask for a European bailout.
The official also credited the fact that the Spanish Treasury has already covered most of its 2012 borrowing needs, meaning it does not need to raise much more money from bond markets.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy reiterated Wednesday he saw no immediate need to ask for help but did not rule it out in the future.
Spain, which is in a double-dip recession and has an unemployment rate of over 25 percent, has been under pressure to tap the bond-buying program since it was announced in September.
The interest rate for Spain's benchmark 10-year bond has eased to around 5.5 percent from unsustainable highs of 7 percent before the ECB announced its plan. On Wednesday, it was down a little at 5.61 percent.
Separately, Spain's central bank said a net €247 billion in capital was pulled out of the country in the first eight months of the year, 620 times more than the €389 million registered for in the same period last year.
Net capital outflows show a lack of confidence in the economy. They come from foreigners selling stocks and shedding Spanish state debt and private bonds, as well as Spanish banks and citizens depositing money abroad.
Net capital outflows slowed in August, however, to €11.8 billion from €15 billion in July.

Q: Can't connect to XMPP server (openfire) with HTTP binding I'm trying to learn XMPP protocol to make web applications using it.
So, I've installed a XMPP daemon called openfire, I configured it to support HTTP-Bind, I can connect to it using Pidgin and the default XMPP protocol.
The problem is that I can't connect to it using HTTP-Binding. In pidgin I have some options when I'm connecting to specify method whici I want to use to connect to server. If I set it to connect using HTTP-Bind it fails with this message: No session id given.
At the client side, I'd use Strophejs try to make this connection, but it doesn't work too. I have something like this:
var conn = new Strophe.Connection("http://chat.dev/http-bind");

Where http://chat.dev/http-bind is the location to the XMPP daemon. I've been forwarded this location to be set on the properly port in apache virtualhost, so the http://chat.dev/http-bind will point to the same thing as http: / / 127.0.0.1:7070.
conn.connect("test5", "test5", some_callback);

function some_callback(status)
{
if (status == Strophe.Status.CONNECTING) {
    console.log('Strophe is connecting.');
} else if (status == Strophe.Status.CONNFAIL) {
    console.log('Strophe failed to connect.');
} else if (status == Strophe.Status.DISCONNECTING) {
    console.log('Strophe is disconnecting.');
} else if (status == Strophe.Status.DISCONNECTED) {
    console.log('Strophe is disconnected.');
} else if (status == Strophe.Status.CONNECTED) {
    console.log('Strophe is connected.');
 // connection.disconnect();
}
}

This will return: "Strophe is connecting."
Well, I don't know the answer, I've been reading a book about XMPP and Strophe, but this book doesn't cover this aspect and the documentation which I've found also doesn't help me.
Thanks.

A: Try this-
var conn = new Strophe.Connection("http://chat.dev/http-bind/");
Need to put '/' in the end. Worked for me.
