In Fig.~\ref{fig2}, we show the results of the $s$-wave $\pi J/\psi$-$\rho \eta_c$-$\bar{D}D^{*}$ coupled-channel potentials at time slice $t=13$,
where the time-slice dependence in $t=11\text{--}15$ on the potentials $V^{\alpha \beta}$ is found to be weak:
This implies that contributions from the inelastic $\bar{D}^{*}D^{*}$ scattering states to $V^{\alpha \beta}$ are negligible,
and the convergence of the derivative expansion is reliable.
We find that all diagonal potentials,
(a) $V^{\bar{D}D^{*}, \bar{D}D^{*}}$, (c) $V^{\rho \eta_c, \rho \eta_c}$, and (f) $V^{\pi J/\psi, \pi J/\psi}$ are very weak.
This observation indicates that the $Z_c(3900)$ is neither a simple $\pi J/\psi$ nor $\bar{D}D^{*}$ molecule.
Among the off-diagonal potentials, we find that the $\pi J/\psi$-$\rho \eta_c$ coupling in Fig.~\ref{fig2} (e) is also weak:
This is consistent with the heavy-quark spin symmetry,
which tells us that the spin flip amplitudes of the charm quark are suppressed by ${\cal O}(1/m_c)$.
On the other hand, (b) the $\rho \eta_c$-$\bar{D}D^{*}$ coupling and (d) the $\pi J/\psi$-$\bar{D}D^{*}$ coupling are both strong:
They correspond to the rearrangement of quarks between the hidden charm sector and the open charm sector.

}
\label{fig3}
\end{figure*}

As a first step to investigate the structure of the $Z_c(3900)$ on the basis of $V^{\alpha \beta}$ just obtained,
let us consider the two-body $T$ matrix [see, e.g., Eq. (16.43) of Ref.~\cite{Newton:book}]:
\begin{eqnarray}
&  &
t^{\alpha \beta}(\vec{p}_{\alpha}, \vec{p}_{\beta}; W_{\mathrm{c.m.}})
=
V^{\alpha \beta}(\vec{p}_{\alpha}, \vec{p}_{\beta})  \nonumber \\
&  & ~~~~
+ \sum_{\gamma} \int d\vec{q_{\gamma}}
\frac{ V^{\alpha \gamma}(\vec{p}_{\alpha}, \vec{q}_{\gamma})
t^{\gamma \beta}(\vec{q}_{\gamma}, \vec{p}_{\beta}; W_{\mathrm{c.m.}})
}{
W_{\mathrm{c.m.}} - E_{\gamma}(\vec{q}_{\gamma}) + i \epsilon
} ~,
\end{eqnarray}
where $\vec{p}_{\alpha}$ ($\vec{q}_{\gamma}$) indicates the on-shell (off-shell) momentum of the two-meson state in channel $\alpha$ ($\gamma$).
$W_{\mathrm{c.m.}}$ and $E_{\gamma}(\vec{q}_{\gamma})$ represent the scattering energy in the center-of-mass (c.m.) frame and the energy of the intermediate states in channel $\gamma$, respectively.

Shown in Fig.~\ref{fig3} (a) are the invariant mass spectra
${\rm Im} f^{\alpha \alpha}(W_{\rm c.m.}) = - \pi \mu^{\alpha} {\rm Im} t^{\alpha \alpha}(W_{\rm c.m.})$
in the $\pi J/\psi$ (red circles), $\rho \eta_c$ (green triangles) and $\bar{D}D^{*}$ (blue squares) channels obtained from lattice QCD for case I in Table \ref{tab1}.
The amplitude $f^{\alpha \beta}(W_{\rm c.m.})$ is related to the differential cross section as
$d\sigma^{\alpha \beta}/d\Omega = |f^{\alpha \beta}(W_{\rm c.m.})|^2$.
In Fig.~\ref{fig3} (a), the inner errors are statistical only, while the outer ones are statistical and systematic errors added in quadrature:
The systematic errors from the truncation of the derivative expansion are evaluated by the difference between ${\rm Im} f^{\alpha \alpha}$ at $t=13$ and that at $t=15$.
The peak structures in $\rho \eta_c$ and $\bar{D}D^{*}$ spectra are caused by the opening of the $s$-wave thresholds.
The sudden enhancement in the $\pi J/\psi$ spectrum just above the $\bar{D}D^{*}$ threshold is induced by the $\pi J/\psi$-$\bar{D}D^{*}$ coupling.
Indeed, if we switch off the off-diagonal components of $V^{\alpha \beta}$,
the red circles turn into the black crosses without any peak structure.
This implies that the peak structure in the $\pi J/\psi$ spectrum [called $Z_c(3900)$]
is a typical ``threshold cusp''\cite{Wigner:1948zz,Newton:book} due to the opening of the $s$-wave $\bar{D}D^{*}$ threshold.

To make sure that the $Z_c(3900)$ is not associated with the resonance structure,
we examine the pole positions of the $S$ matrix on the complex energy plane
according to the notation and procedure in Ref.~\cite{Pearce:1988rk}.
The complex energy is defined as
$z = m_1^{\alpha} + m_2^{\alpha} + p_{\alpha}^2/2\mu^{\alpha}$,
and the ``top [$t$]"  (``bottom [$b$]") sheet corresponds to
$0 \le \arg p_{\alpha} < \pi$ ($\pi \le \arg p_{\alpha} < 2\pi$)
for the complex momentum in each channel ($\alpha = \pi J/\psi, \rho\eta_c, \bar{D}D^{*}$).
Among 8 Riemann sheets for the present three-channel scattering,
the most relevant one is the [$bbb$] sheet in the notation of Ref.~\cite{Pearce:1988rk}.
We find a pole with a large imaginary part on this sheet (see Supplemental Material~\cite{Suppl}):
$z-(m_{\bar{D}}+m_{D^{*}})=-167(94)(27)-i183(46)(19)$ MeV for case I,
$-128(76)(33)-i157(32)(19)$ MeV for case II, and $-190(56)(42)-i44(27)(27)$ MeV for case III,
with the first and second parentheses indicating the statistical and systematic errors, respectively.
Shown in Fig.~\ref{fig3} (b) is the complex pole on the [$bbb$] sheet for case I.
It is located far from the $\bar{D}D^{*}$ threshold on the real axis,
so that the amplitude is hardly affected by the pole.

}
\label{fig4}
\end{figure}
To make further connection between the above result and the experimentally observed structure in $\pi J/\psi$ and $\bar{D} D^{*}$ invariant mass spectra~\cite{expt_BESIII, expt_Belle, expt_CLEO-c},
let us now consider semiphenomenological analysis of the three-body decays
$Y(4260) \to \pi \pi J/\psi$, $\pi \bar{D}D^{*}$ by taking into account the final state rescattering due to $V^{\alpha \beta}$ extracted from lattice QCD simulations.
We model the primary vertex by complex constants
$C^{Y \rightarrow \pi + \alpha}$ [$\alpha= (\pi J/\psi, \bar{D} D^{*})$].
Then the three-body $T$ matrix $T^{Y \rightarrow  \pi+\beta}$ [$\beta=(\pi J/\psi, \bar{D} D^{*})$]
is given by
\begin{align}
&T^{Y\rightarrow \pi+\beta}(\vec{p}, \vec{q}_{\beta}; W_3) =
\sum_{\alpha= \pi J/\psi,  \bar{D} D^{*} }
C^{Y \rightarrow \pi+\alpha}  \nonumber \\
& ~~~ \times
\biggl(
\delta_{\alpha \beta} + \int d\vec{q}_{\alpha}
\frac{
t^{\alpha \beta}(\vec{q}_{\alpha}, \vec{q}_{\beta}, \vec{p}; W_3)
}{ W_3 - E_{\pi}(\vec{p}) - E_{\alpha}(\vec{p},\vec{q}_{\alpha}) + i\epsilon }
\biggr) ~,
\label{decay}
\end{align}
where $W_3$, $E_{\pi}(\vec{p})$ and $E_{\alpha}(\vec{p},\vec{q}_{\alpha})$ represent the energies of the $Y(4260)$, the spectator pion with the momentum $\vec{p}$ and the interacting pairs with the relative momentum $\vec{q}_{\alpha}$ in channel $\alpha$, respectively (see Supplemental Material~\cite{Suppl}).
The decay rate in the rest frame of $Y(4260)$ is obtained as
$ d\Gamma^{Y \to \pi + \beta}(W_3)  =  (2 \pi)^4 \delta( W_3 - E_{\pi}(\vec{p}) - E_{\beta}(\vec{p},\vec{q}_{\beta}) ) ~
d \vec{p} ~ d \vec{q}_{\beta} ~
| T^{Y \to \pi + \beta}(\vec{p}, \vec{q}_{\beta}; W_3) |^2 $.

In order to have the same phase space as the experiments, we employ the physical hadron masses
while $t^{\alpha \beta}$ is taken from the lattice data for case I.
The complex couplings $C^{Y\rightarrow \pi+\alpha}$ are fitted to the BESIII data~\cite{expt_BESIII}.
Since the experimental data are in the arbitrary scale,
we focus only on the line shapes of the invariant mass spectra.
In this case, we have two real parameters,
$R \equiv | C^{Y \rightarrow \pi (\bar{D} D^{*})} / C^{Y \rightarrow \pi (\pi J/\psi)} |$ and $\theta \equiv \arg ( C^{Y \rightarrow \pi (\bar{D} D^{*})} / C^{Y \rightarrow \pi (\pi J/\psi)} )$,
and the best fit values are $R=0.95(18)$ and $\theta=-58(44)$ degree.
To compare with the raw data of the experiment,
we find
$\mathcal{N}_{\pi J/\psi} |C^{Y \to \pi (\pi J/\psi)}|=0.40(22)$ GeV$^{-2}$
for the $\pi J/\psi$ and
$\mathcal{N}_{\bar{D} D^{*}} |C^{Y \to \pi (\pi J/\psi)}|=0.76(42)$ GeV$^{-2}$
for the $\bar{D} D^{*}$ invariant mass distributions,
where $\mathcal{N}_{\alpha}$ are the normalization factors to the raw data.
Resulting decay spectra are shown in Figs.~\ref{fig4}(a) and \ref{fig4}(b) where the shaded bands denote the statistical errors:
We find that the coupled-channel potential $V^{\alpha \beta}$ well reproduces the peak structures
just above the $\bar{D}D^{*}$ threshold at $3.9$ GeV.
The deviation from the experimental data around $4$ GeV may be attributed to the contributions from the higher partial waves between the spectator pion and interacting pairs or from the $\bar{D}^{*}D^{*}$ states, which are not considered in the present study.
If we turn off the off-diagonal components of $V^{\alpha \beta}$ with the same constants
$C^{Y \rightarrow \pi+\alpha}$, we obtain the results shown by the blue dashed lines,
where the lines are normalized to the results obtained from the full calculations at $4$ GeV.
The peak structures at $3.9$ GeV disappear in this case.

In summary, we have studied the $\pi J/\psi$-$\rho \eta_c$-$\bar{D}D^{*}$ coupled-channel
interactions using (2+1)-flavor full QCD gauge configurations
in order to study the structure of the tetraquark candidate $Z_c(3900)$.
Thanks to the HAL QCD method, we obtain the full coupled-channel potential $V^{\alpha \beta}$,
whose diagonal components are all small,
so that $Z_c(3900)$ cannot be a simple hadro-charmonium or $\bar{D}D^{*}$ molecular state.

Also, we found a strong off-diagonal transition between  $\pi J/\psi$ and $\bar{D}D^{*}$,
which indicates that the $Z_c(3900)$ can be explained as a threshold cusp.
To confirm this, we calculated the invariant mass spectra and pole positions associated with the coupled-channel two-body $S$ matrix on the basis of  $V^{\alpha \beta}$.
The results indeed support that the peak in the  $\pi J/\psi$ invariant mass spectrum is not associated with a conventional resonance state but is a threshold cusp induced by the strong $\pi J/\psi$-$\bar{D}D^{*}$ coupling.
To further strengthen our conclusion, we made a semiphenomenological analysis of the three-body decay of the $Y(4260)$, and found that the experimentally observed peak structures just above the $\bar{D}D^{*}$ threshold are well reproduced in the $Y(4260) \to \pi \pi J/\psi$ and the $Y(4260) \to \pi \bar{D}D^{*}$ decays.

To make a definite conclusion on the structure of the $Z_{c}(3900)$ in the real world,
we plan to carry out full QCD simulations near the physical point.
It is also an interesting future problem to study the structure of
pentaquark candidates $P_c^+(4380)$ and $P_c^+(4450)$ on the basis of the coupled-channel HAL QCD method.

Article first published as Book Review: 'Blacktip Island' by Tim W. Jackson on Blogcritics.
"Blacktip Island" by Tim W. Jackson is a fascinating, well-written story. The lead character is an almost-inadvertent embezzler from the United States who seeks anonymity in a small (fictional) Caribbean island. The island, it turns out, is inhabited almost entirely by others hiding from their pasts. They work as cooks, barmaids, charter captains, dive masters, cottage landlords, and they share cheap flats -- and each hides a secret, which is unveiled slowly throughout the novel. It is their interaction, and the gradual reveal, which makes the story such an interesting read.
The setting is almost as important as the characters. Perhaps most of us envision a life on a Caribbean island. "Blacktip Island" shows us some of its shortcomings – inadequate housing, intrusive landlords, quirky neighbors, and the lack of privacy, which should be expected with life on a small island. But, it is nevertheless the stuff of fantasy, which, in turn, makes good fiction.
"Blacktip Island" is otherwise a bit difficult to classify. It is an adventure story, to an extent, and a mystery, to a lesser extent. There is a plot – the hero attempting to avoid detection, eco-terrorists trying to stop construction of a new airport, a beautiful bartender keeping her own secrets, and hunts for a pirate treasure, each overlapping within the story. But, the story is less driven by a plot than by the characters and the idyllic setting.
The book's opening paragraph sets the story's tone, and also illustrates the author's voice:
"Blake Calloway had really done it this time. Here he was trying his damnedest to blend in with the scuba tourists until he could stash the bricks of money he wasn't supposed to have, and now everyone on the boat was watching him. It couldn't be helped, though. The bonehead needed rescuing."
The "bonehead" was another diver. The protagonist's successful rescue enabled his transition from island tourist to resort dive master - and immersion into the soap opera lives of the island locals. And, it is the lives of the island locals that makes the story so engrossing.
"Blacktip Island" by Tim W. Jackson is, indeed, an entertaining tale of the misadventures of expatriates on an island, which should be, but is not quite, paradise.

U.S. Asks World Trade Organization to Force Lower International Safety Standards
(Beyond Pesticides, December 13, 2018) The U.S. is pushing back against international standards that restrict pesticides by appealing to the World Trade Organization (WTO) to intervene. At issue are new EU maximum residue levels (MRLs) on food for the following pesticides: buprofezin, diflubenzuron, ethoxysulfurom, ioxynil, molinate, picoxystrobin and tepraloxydim.
Advocates are concerned that a U.S. challenge to stronger EU standards could cause the WTO to force a weakening of standards internationally. Most significantly, EU proposed lowering its MRLs on imports. The EU said lower MRLs are needed to protect consumers, as research shows pesticides are shown to be carcinogenic, and that, contrary to chemical-industry claims, no level of allowable exposures can be assumed. Taking issue with the new MRLs – as with all other STCs mentioned above – the U.S. said new MRLs would cause barriers to trade, and therefore, must be rejected by the WTO. Advocates point to the introduction of GMOs as an example of the U.S. using the WTO to block standards that restrict potentially hazardous products.
Recently, the U.S. has been involved in four of five new specific trade concerns (STCs) raised before WTO. As part of reviewing the current agreement of the Committee on Sanitary and Phytosanitary – which works to ensure protections for humans, animals and plants while avoiding barriers to trade – one STC the U.S. disliked was the Vietnamese National Assembly's Livestock Production Law. The proposed livestock law would impose an import ban on livestock products produced with the use of chemicals prohibited for domestic production in Vietnam.
The U.S. also expressed its dislike of an EU Court of Justice decision on "mutagenesis" – a process of inducing mutagenic changes –requiring that all organisms obtained through mutagenesis undergo the same risk assessment and review requirements, labeling, monitoring and traceability laws as those imposed on genetically-modified organisms (GMOs).
The EU has shown time and time again that it will enact stricter pesticide regulations than the U.S. Back in 2005, (EU) environment ministers agreed to uphold five national bans on GMOs. However, the U.S. once again claimed bans on GMOs were barriers to trade and must not be honored. "[EU countries] are overwhelmingly opposed to GM food," said Friends of the Earth's GM campaigner Emily Diamand in 2005, "[It] is outrageous that [the U.S. government] should try and stop other countries saying no to GM."
In her book Stolen Harvest: The hijacking of the global food supply, Vandana Shiva, PhD, says, "The right to food, the right to safety, the right to culture, are all being treated as trade barriers that [for the continuation of the WTO] need to be dismantled." Dr. Shiva continues, "[The WTO's] Agreement on Agriculture legalizes the dumping of genetically-engineered foods on countries and criminalizes actions to protect the biological and cultural diversity on which diverse food systems are based."
Whether by releasing GE/GMOs or rejecting the EU's lower MRLs, advocates believe the move is the latest in a series of attempts by the U.S. to block other countries' decisions to protect their environment, human health and social standards. Consequently, the WTO takes power away from the people and their local governments and allows corporations to overpower them. This is done all in the name of free trade, or what Dr. Shiva deems "forced trade."
This holiday season, start your own local movement. Talk with your friends and family about sourcing foods from local organic farms. Talk with grocery store owners about where they source their produce, reminding them how organic food consumption lowers cancer risk. Request that they support local organic farmers and follow up to ensure progress is made. Live by the mantra "Think Globally, Act Locally" because, as Dr. Shiva states, "This food totalitarianism can only be stopped through major citizen mobilization for democratization of the food system."

How Do You Choose The Best CBD Oil?
There are no officially established standards for CBD oil when it comes to dosage. All people are different, so the optimal CBD dosage may vary between individuals who are going to take it for a memory boost. The interaction between CBD and the central nervous system is where the cannabinoid manifests its benefits for memory. Simply keep trying until you find the perfect combination of CBD products that work for you.
Adolescent exposure to weed also appears to alter the reward system by making the rat more likely to self-administer a shot of heroin when given the opportunity.
Marijuana can also contribute to anxiety symptoms, as well as other health risks and side effects.
This causes different effects on the body, with THC producing feelings of being "high" while CBD does not.
This study reported that higher levels of CBD could alter the episodic memory impairment brought on by THC.
I find it remarkable that not only BCP but the even more readily available d-limonene also suppresses the THC high.
CB-2 receptors are primarily in the peripheral nervous system — usually in the immune system and gastrointestinal tract. The major difference between THC and CBD is that; THC directly binds to the CB1 receptors giving a psychoactive effect and making the user high while CBD does not. CBD is touted for producing most of the benefits of THC without the "high".
Besides CBD products, CBD is often converted into Delta-8 through a series of conversion steps to make Delta-8 products more widely available. Cannabis is full of naturally occurring compounds called cannabinoids, that interact with receptors found in the body. The two most well-known cannabinoids are Tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol . It's considered an Arrange I drug in the United States which is the same classification as drug, heroin, and LSD.
To fully understand the potential impact of marijuana, it's important to know that the human body naturally produces compounds called endocannabinoids that are similar to those in marijuana. The use of medical marijuana remains controversial, and there is no official guidance on its use at present. Research suggests chronic and excessive use of cannabis will adversely affect long-term memory function. One study published in the JAMA Internal Medicine found that users who consumed cannabis chronically over a period of five years experienced poorer recall than occasional users or abstainers. The good news is that using CBD can relieve the user from feelings of stress, tension, and discomfort from physical movement. For someone living with certain health conditions, the common effects of cannabis include helping ease the symptoms of stress and tension, improving motor functions, and reducing memory decline.
Secondly, there are acute, or short-term, effects on memory (e.g., while under the influence), and possible long-term effects. And, finally, dosing, frequency, and strains play a big role in how cannabis affects memory. While researchers are consistently studying the benefits of both CBD and THC, initial studies do show potential. If you feel your medical condition can benefit from marijuana, and you're ready to take action, you can refer to this quiz to determine your medical marijuana card eligibility.
The ratios of each cannabinoid in the strain may determine the benefits you receive, as well as any side effects. So it's essential to understand these ratios to potentially help the ailment or medical condition you intended. THC binds to the cannabinoid receptors that are most abundant Oursons au CBD sans sucre in the central nervous system and brain, which contributes to its psychoactive effects. Smoking cannabis presents many of the same dangers as smoking cigarettes. Regular marijuana smokers may experience more frequent upper respiratory infections, excess mucus, and a daily cough.
With what we know now, consumers who take in large amounts of THC or consume with stronger products like concentrates may want to consider having some CBD on them. They could potentially turn a bad high into just the right balance. Meanwhile, a 2017 study commissioned by the European Industrial Hemp Association found CBD to provide a favorable and safe profile for a human to consume. However, it did note that further research is needed with larger numbers of subjects in studies.
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a cannabinoid that comes from the hemp plant. It doesn't have psychoactive effects, which means, it doesn't make you feel high. CBD is known for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties and has been shown to help with a variety of issues like anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and more. Alzheimer's patients' brain cells often show a path of rapid decline and destruction. The potential of stimulating brain tissue was recently discovered as a potential benefit of CBD. In clinical trials, CBD has shown the ability to reverse and even prevent the development of Alzheimer's negative impact.
Experienced journalist with a decade-long experience of researching cannabis.
With the marijuana industry constantly evolving, you need a cannabis news outlet to keep you abreast of the pertinent information.
Here at CBD Genesis, we offer a wide range of authentic products, from the traditional CBD and Delta 9 to new arrivals like Delta 8 and Delta 10.
CBD is not to be confused with THC, the psychoactive and intoxicating component many use marijuana for.
Analysis of THC levels were performed with a composite THC + metabolites measure, which is the sum of the three THC levels. These measurements were analyzed in a mixed-design ANOVA with session and cannabinoid type (CBD, sum THC + metabolites) as within-subject factors and strain group (THC, THC + CBD) as a between-subject factor. We're just beginning to understand how cannabis use affects the brain and memory, but encouragingly, it seems the adverse effects are exaggerated.

Cannabinoids act on the cannabinoid receptors that are scattered is delta 10 thc legal in nc throughout your body. This system works the same way the digestive or nervous system would manage its processes in the body such as memory, mood and pain-sensation.
Until then, consumers will need to rely on minimal hard data available and the large amounts of anecdotal evidence others provide. Unlike THC, though, CBD is heading towards a path of certainty and assurance that THC has not been allowed. Only time will tell when or if any conclusive findings can be made for either, though most of us already have a hunch about its answer. CBD interacts with the same intracellular molecules that transport THC and anandamide to different parts inside the cell.
Honest Marijuana operates in compliance with state laws regarding access to cannabis. By clicking "I agree" you swear and/or affirm under penalty of perjury that you are at least 21 years of age. Nothing on this website should be considered legal advice or as a substitute for legal advice.
While everyone has an ECS, medical cannabis's direct interactions with it may affect individuals differently. So much so that CBD has been one of the more analyzed aspects of cannabis over the years. The effects of CBD have been analyzed against numerous medical conditions and common symptoms. They include studies on anxiety disorders like a 2015 study that found that CBD can reduce anxiety behaviors in conditions from PTSD, OCD and several others.
CBD oil products act as an effective substitute for serotonin and can help people who have a serotonin deficiency. Light sleep might sound like a throwaway sleep—inconsequential, or lacking in substance. Throughout a night of sleep, light sleep paves the way for the cyclical stages of deep sleep and REM sleep, with changes to brain waves, nervous system activity, and hormones.

Learn what makes each of these products a good pick, plus how to spot a quality product. CBD oil is known to help minimize symptoms for those experiencing anxiety, depression, and other chronic health concerns. Common ailments of Alzheimer's include loss of memory, language, and thought. Dementia is an umbrella term used to describe symptoms that impact memory, the performance of daily activities, and communication abilities. The CBD market continues to grow as interest in CBD rises and states in the United States continue to legalize both medical and recreational cannabis. However, CBD isn't psychoactive, meaning that you won't feel "high" when you take it.
While depression can set in at any stage of dementia, doctors typically diagnose it in the earlier stages. Depression can also affect family members who are caring for their loved one with the disease. Egyptian psychiatrists back in 2000 BC were the first to document the concept of dementia, but Welche Wirkung haben CBD-Gummibärchen? the disease got its name in 1797. The word dementia derives from Latin and means "out of one's mind." Philippe Pinel, a French psychiatrist, was the first to coin the term. Individuals with these dementias often display changes in their ability to begin activities and in their speed of thinking.
Some researchers argue that the distinction between indica and sativa strains is less relevant than the variety in THC content and other ingredients in any particular product. Both CBD and THC may also have benefits for chronic conditions that interfere with sleep. For example, synthetic forms of THC have shown potential for treating obstructive how long does it take for cbd oil to kick in sleep apnea, reducing PTSD-related nightmares, and improving sleep for people living with chronic pain. CBD, on the other hand, may reduce symptoms of REM sleep behavior disorder and excessive daytime sleepiness. As shown in Table 2, four cannabinoids were quantified in the blood (THC and its primary metabolites THC-COOH and 11-OH-THC, and CBD).
Due to severe or repeated blows to the head, the injury might result in chronic traumatic encephalopathy. The breakdown of the cerebrovascular endothelium due to the injury causes the dysfunction of the blood-brain barrier. Extracranial manifestations of traumatic brain injury can also result in TBI.
There are many products out there that contain less CBD than advertised. Now that we've established CBD and THC are both antioxidants and neuroprotectants, you may be wondering whether those alleged problems are caused by some other properties of these cannabinoids. According to a study from the American Journal of Psychiatry, CBD has a beneficial effect on schizophrenia.
Delta-8 does contain THC, which attracts some people that desire high effects. Delta-8 binds to cannabinoid receptors and affects how we process pain, reduces inflammation, and also helps fight against mental mountains like anxiety and stress. In other words, Delta-8 how many minutes does it take for cbd gummies to work can be considered a cannabinoid that gives hemp lovers the best of both words – therapeutic benefits and a mild high. The ECS is essentially a place where cannabinoids like Delta-8 and Delta-10 are processed by potentially binding to cannabinoid receptors.
Here are some tips to help tackle memory loss when a person is high, as well as when not under the influence.
Most notably, pinene, limonene, and beta-caryophyllene all seem to interact with beta-amyloids, although all of the research has been conducted either in labs or on animals.
The terpenes found in cannabis and other plants don't all have the same effects.
This disorder often travels with other substance use problems, behavioral issues, and disability, and is largely untreated, according to a study in a 2015 issue of JAMA Psychiatry.
They're situated in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Before choosing a THC or CBD product, it is important to check your state laws to ensure that these products are legal where you live. Federal law mandates that hemp-derived CBD products should contain less than 0.3% THC, but even those trace amounts are still illegal in some states.
Now that we have already talked about CBD and THC on their own, we can discuss CBD vs. THC. Even though CBD and THC are synthetic cannabinoids, they are not as similar as you might think. These two chemicals have a lot of differences between them, and that makes them unique.
"There is really no good evidence to support CBD in any psychiatric disorder including post-traumatic stress disorder yet," says Dr. Dsouza. "We need large, well-controlled studies to get to the point where we can say CBD works for these conditions, but we are not there yet." As a result, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has sent warning letters to CBD companies that make claims about treating anxiety and other conditions. Some CBD manufacturers have come under government scrutiny for wild, indefensible claims, such that CBD is a cure-all for cancer or COVID-19, which it is not.
These enzymes are responsible for repurposing endocannabinoids once they have finished interacting with their receptors. The body produces these endocannabinoids when they are needed, and when it is exposed to phytocannabinoids. The two main endocannabinoids are anandamide or N-arachidonoylethanolamine and How long do 1000mg CBD gummies last? 2-ArachidonoylGlycerol (2-AG); both of which are produced inside cell membranes. Endocannabinoids are unique because they don't stimulate responses longer than necessary. The Endocannabinoid System is a complex chain of receptors, endocannabinoids, and enzymes that comprise mammal's neural pathways.
Topical CBD works the same way as oral CBD – by interacting with cannabinoid receptors. There are cannabinoid receptorsall over your body, and if you use CBD lotions, your CBD will affect the local receptors. CBD mimics the effect of serotonin, giving it ananti-anxiety effect. When we talk about cannabis and its role in sleep, cannabinoids come right to the top of the list of important chemical compounds. There more than 400 chemical compounds in cannabis, and dozens of cannabinoids.
The study, conducted in Ontario, Canada, involved data from 3,000 women who used cannabis during pregnancy.
The main benefits of THC include reducing pain, nausea, and inflammation.
In large doses, some people using medical marijuana will experience hallucinations, paranoia, and delusions.
We still have a limited understanding of any potential long-term memory impact from cannabis consumption. Much as the effects of long-term cannabis use on memory are poorly understood, so are the effects of cannabis on long-term memory. However, it seems long-term memory is much more robust in the face of cannabis consumption compared to short-term. Once a memory has become embedded, retrieval appears to be fairly secure. Attentional control has been found to be inhibited by both immediate cannabis use—with inhibition increasing in a dose-dependent manner—and long-term use. It is possible that this goes a long way to explain why short-term memory is negatively impacted by cannabis consumption.
Under U.S. federal law, CBD products manufactured from industrial hemp are legal as long as they contain no more than 0.3 percent THC. And in some states, CBD oil is permitted to contain up to 5 percent THC. Federal law in the United States classifies marijuana and its derivatives as 'Schedule 1' drugs, meaning that they have no accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. Schedule 1 drugs are illegal, and research on them requires labs to follow strict security protocols and adhere to regular facility inspections. Leading a healthy life, using cannabis responsibly and moderately are key to maintaining good mental health.
All the food was infused with THC while the "mocktails" swapped out liquor for CBD. These drinks were not only delicious but helped keep the high in check. While I was certainly good and stoned, the CBD always left me feeling as if I was in control of my faculties and how long does cbd flower stay in your system never once felt like I had a bad high despite scores of people in the venue. Do not operate a vehicle or heavy machinery under the influence of cannabis. Early research shows that CBD could protect against brain damage caused by binge drinking or alcohol abuse.
"I just think it's gotten a little bit out of proportion to the evidence." Out of all the recorded marijuana characteristics, THC levels were the most strongly tied to reported symptom relief. THC levels were also tied to both negative side effects (such as "dry mouth" and "feeling foggy") and positive side effects (such as feeling "relaxed" and "peaceful"). CBD levels were generally not linked with reported symptom relief or side effects.
Cannabis use for patients with Parkinson's has also been shown to help improve mood, memory, and fatigue.
Marijuana on its raises complex legal, economic, and social issues that overlook major health issues.
Consuming cannabis once affects only the short-term memory, while frequent prolonged use with high doses affects both the short and the long-term memory.
CBD is thought to interact with receptor systems and works directly with the endocannabinoid system .
CBD is not psychoactive and has an effect on the brain circuits that is a lot different from the THC effect.
Delta-10 can be slightly more relaxing than Delta-8 with less of a buzz. But Delta-10 is still of the cannabis family so you can expect mental and physical stimulation. If you want to get a taste of the relaxing effects of cannabis with slimmer chances of getting high, Delta-10 is the best option. Delta-8 is a cannabinoid that many cannabis enthusiasts have given the green light, but what about other cannabinoids found in cannabis? Delta-10 is another cannabinoid found in trace amounts in the cannabis plant.
My day job consists of studying the mental health effects of cannabis in my role as a mental health case manager at Kaiser Permanente. By night, I roll fat joints and do my best to debrief Weed News readers on the latest cannabis happenings. The other receptor is the CB2 receptor, primarily found in cells in the immune system and related structures.
Other areas of brain connectivity and processing are also found to be affected in opposite ways by THC and CBD. Currently, hypothermia therapy is used over the world to treat babies suffering from hypoxic ischemia therapy. This process involves exposing how to vape cbd oil the baby to a lower temperature of about 33 or 34 degrees Celsius so that the lower temperatures stop the rapidly spreading inflammation. Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy is the accidental asphyxiation of an infant during birth due to various causes.
Nonetheless, this leading authority on health issues acknowledges the connection between cannabis and improved brain and body health.
CBD is showing promise in regards to epilepsy, genetics brain disorders, Parkinson's disease, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
Like CBD derived from the cannabis plant, both kinds describe a cannabinoid made through synthesis, which is chemically and molecularly identical to the same cannabinoid found in nature.
In Greek mythology, too, there are several references to a potent drug that was used to eliminate anguish and sorrow.
To fully understand the potential impact of marijuana, it's important to know that the human body naturally produces compounds called endocannabinoids that are similar to those in marijuana. Endocannabinoids are involved in the regulation of many body processes throughout life , and the action of endocannabinoids is essential to prenatal brain development and to brain maturation during adolescence. The Farm Bill removed all hemp-derived products, including CBD, from the Controlled Substances Act, which criminalizes the possession of drugs.
Below, we explore the short and long-term impact of weed on memory. However, using cannabis later in life appears to have only a moderate impact on cognitive functioning, including memory. These modest declines are not fully understood, and there is a lack of high-quality research in this area. That will need to change as it's not just young people that use cannabis. As more countries legalize cannabis, older people might also want to try it.
Participants played Sudoku for 3 min between each of the study and test lists to provide a distracting stimulus that would minimize active rehearsal during the delay.
These are the chemical compounds that create the scents of plants.
Both THC and CBD have similar molecular structures, which is 21 carbon atoms, 30 hydrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms.
In the same way that the brain supports all areas of the body from vital functions to fond childhood memories, it's imperative to provide the body with the support it needs to perform at its best.
The Association has strict policies to prevent these relationships from influencing the science content. Revenues from pharmaceutical and biotech companies, device manufacturers and health insurance providers and the Association's overall financial information are availablehere. CBD can increase the level of blood thinning and other medicines in your blood by competing for the liver enzymes that break down these drugs. CBD can help lower cravings for tobacco and heroin under certain conditions, according to some research in humans. Animal models of addiction suggest it may also help lessen cravings for alcohol, cannabis, opiates, and stimulants.
And, yes, it can have a modest impact on verbal recall in chronic, long-term users. But, in most people, after a short period of abstinence, memory function returns to normal. Of the two, we know the most about Delta-8 THC. Delta-8 THC binds to the CB1 and CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system. Delta-8 THC was successful at reducing inflammation in a past animal study.

Estrogen May Prevent Psychosis
New laboratory evidence on an animal model suggests hormone replacement therapy may protect women from schizophrenia.
According to WebMD's website, "Schizophrenic women who get an estrogen patch along with their regular antipsychotic medications have fewer symptoms than women who get inactive placebo patches.
The finding, from a four-week study of 102 women of childbearing age with schizophrenia, comes from Jayashri Kulkarni, MBBS, PhD, and colleagues at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. Several lines of evidence point to a major role for estrogen in schizophrenia:"
"The female sex hormone estrogen has important effects on chemical signals in the brain. These signals go haywire in schizophrenia.
Women's first episodes of schizophrenia occur later in life than men's, suggesting a protective role for estrogen.
In women, schizophrenia symptoms often appear just after childbirth and during menopause, when estrogen levels plunge.
Women with schizophrenia often relapse during the low-estrogen phase of their menstrual cycles."
And women with schizophrenia tend to have better outcomes than men do, notes Dost Ongur, MD, PhD, clinical director of the schizophrenia and bipolar disorder program at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Mass."
Estrogen is widely used to mitigate negative effects of menopause including bone loss and mood swings.
Prof. Ina Weiner of Tel Aviv University's Department of Psychology and colleagues report on findings that suggest restoring normal levels of estrogen may work as a protective agent in menopausal women vulnerable to schizophrenia.
Their work, based on an animal model of menopausal psychosis, is found in the journal Psychopharmacology.
"We've known for some time that when the level of estrogen is low, vulnerability to psychotic symptoms increases and anti-psychotic drugs are less likely to work. Now, our pre-clinical findings show why this might be happening," says Prof. Weiner.
In their study, Weiner and Arad removed the ovaries of female rats to induce menopause-like low levels of estrogen and showed that this led to schizophrenia-like behavior. The researchers then tried to eliminate this abnormal behavior with an estrogen replacement treatment or with the antipsychotic drug haloperidol.
Estrogen replacement therapy effectively alleviated schizophrenia-like behavior but haloperidol had no effect on its own. Haloperidol regained its effect in these rats when supplemented by estrogen.
"When the level of estrogen was low, we could see psychotic-like behavior in the animals. Moreover, the sensitivity to psychosis-inducing drugs went up, while the sensitivity to anti-psychotic drugs went down," Prof. Weiner says. This is exactly what we observe in women with low estrogen levels," she says.
"But we also found that estrogen, all by itself, combats psychosis in both male and female rats." Furthermore, in low amounts estrogen increases the effectiveness of anti-psychotic drugs.
Prof. Weiner points out that the medical community is hotly debating the pros and cons of estrogen replacement as an add-on to conventional treatment in schizophrenia. Detractors point to higher chances of cervical cancer and heart attacks in those who receive estrogen supplements.
But according to her study, which looked at very specific factors possibly related to schizophrenia, estrogen replacement therapy could have positive behavioral effects, she concludes.
During the course of a woman's lifetime, estrogen levels do not remain constant. During her reproductive years, these levels are affected by the menstrual cycle. There are also dramatic changes in the levels of estrogen just after a woman gives birth — a change, which can trigger "post-partum blues," and in extreme cases lead to clinical depression and psychosis.
As a preventative therapy, estrogen could be given to women at certain points in time when they are most at risk for schizophrenia, Prof. Weiner suggests: in their mid-twenties and later during the menopausal years.
"Antipsychotic drugs are less effective during low periods of estrogen in the body, after birth and in menopause," says Prof. Weiner.
"Our research links schizophrenia and its treatment to estrogen levels. Men seem less likely to begin schizophrenia after their 40s, which also suggests that estrogen is the culprit."

XC/Brandon Jauregui: Can Anyone Dethrone Yarnall of Saugus in Boys 3200m?
Saugus' AJ Yarnall is the heavy favorite here.
The University of Washington signee had a banner year in 2012, starting with a 9:14.14 3,200-meter clocking that ranks #12 in Santa Clarita Valley high school history in March and ending with a 41st-place finish at the Nike Cross Nationals in December. Between those two spectacular performances, Yarnall set a new championship record (9:17.08) on his way to winning his first Foothill League title over 3,200 meters, clocked the fifth fastest mark at Mt. SAC in SCV history (14:55) and finished second at the California State Cross Country Championships (15:10) at Woodward Park in Fresno. Altogether, the senior had one of the most successful years by a runner in Foothill League history.
Although the Foothill League is filled with talent, only two are capable of taking down the defending champion in this eight-lap event. This year's Foothill League leader, Zach Wims of Canyon, finished just .72 of a second behind Yarnall at last year's league finals, but was third in the greatest 3,200-meter race in SCV history. It'll be interesting to see how Wims reacts this spring, as none of his performances since last May's finals have been on par with that 9:17.80 personal best performance. The Cowboy's best race last fall was arguably run at the Foothill League Cross Country opener, which he won over Golden Valley's Nolan Del Valle.
If anyone is going to pull off an upset at this year's finals, it'll be Yarnall's teammate, Rodrigo Ornelas. The senior was one of five to run the 1600-3200 double at last year's finals, finishing fifth in four-lap event and 10th over the eight-lap distance. Ornelas has improved tremendously since then though – winning the Foothill League cross country championship over Yarnall and finishing 14th at the state championships – which is why he's the dark-horse to win the 3,200-meter finals this spring.
Golden Valley's Nolan Del Valle, who's been third at the last two Foothill League Cross Country Championships and top 15 at the last two state cross country finals, is another one who could be a contender, however, we have yet to see him translate his cross country success to the oval. Del Valle has been one of the most consistent runners in Foothill League history, finishing top eight in all four Foothill League cross country events of his career, and has a solid personal best of 9:35.73 in this event, so the Grizzly is no stranger to success. Still, though, his personal best is 21 seconds slower than Yarnall and 18 seconds behind Wims, plus he bombed at last May's finals, fading to eighth in 9:40.59.
One must wonder, can Del Valle take 20-plus seconds off his personal best and end his prep career with an individual Foothill League championship?
Finishing .48 of a second ahead of Del Valle at last year's finals, another Grizzly could make the podium if one of the four names above falters at the finals. Brendan Tinoco, older brother of super freshman Bianca Tinoco, was seventh in last year's loaded finals. His 9:38.89 3,200-meter personal best, set at last year's APU Distance Meet of Champions, was a huge surprise, however, he's been solid ever since, finishing sixth at the Foothill League Cross Country Finals last November.
Two other story-lines that should develop this spring are West Ranch's Tucker Welker and the incredible sophomore class in this event.
Welker had an unbelievable first cross country season, clocking the second all-time freshman marks in SCV history at Mt. SAC (16:03) and Woodward Park (16:09). He also finished 11th at the Foothill League Cross Country Championships last November, one of the highest finishes by a freshman in Foothill League history. Already this spring, the Wildcat has clocked 9:57.10 over 3,200 meters, which is why the high school freshman record has to be mentioned. Hart's Sam Peckham hold the record in 9:36.10, set in 2009. Welker's performance in February ranks #3 on SCV's all-time freshman list behind Peckham and Hart's Ruben Rubira's 9:53.74.

Puppy Breeder who Beat Dogs with Sticks Gets Lifetime Ban on Owning Animals
Home » Animals » Puppy Breeder who Beat Dogs with Sticks Gets Lifetime Ban on Owning AnimalsBy Karen Gasior | October 28, 2017
On Wednesday, Oct. 25th, puppy breeder Christopher Gorman of North Lanarkshire, Scotland was found guilty of abusing 11 dogs and killing two. He has now been issued a lifelong ban on owning animals of any kind, and ordered to pay a £2,600 (approximately $3,000) fine.
Gorman, an unlicensed pet shop owner, was caught on film in June 2016 by at least one witness and an undercover Scottish SPCA Inspector. Gorman, 54, kept 11 mastiffs confined to his tiny backgarden in squalid conditions, often without adequate access to food, water, and shelter. Shocking footage shows Gorman lunging violently at the dogs with a large piece of wood, and hitting several of them.
In Gorman's home, two puppies were found dead; the cause of death has been reported as parvo virus, a canine illness that can prove fatal. An undercover SPCA Inspector said Gorman's actions illustrated that his "priorities [laid] entirely in the profit that could be gained from selling on puppies to naïve new owners, rather than in the welfare of the dogs."
Gorman's most recent animal cruelty conviction is not his first. He had previously been banned from pet ownership for 10 years in relation to a court hearing he attended in July. It is unknown where the remainder of Gorman's dogs are housed, as well as whether they will be put up for adoption following recovery.
Several countries have begun to crack down on for-profit animal breeders to prevent incidences of cruelty like Gorman's and focus on the adoption of animals within shelters and volunteer organizations. The Scottish SPCA alone rescued and cared for 20,000 animals last year.
If you witness any act of animal cruelty, report the incident to your local animal shelter or SPCA as soon as possible. If you or your family is looking to add a furry new family member to your household, be sure to adopt from a reliable organization instead of buying from a breeder. You could very well be saving a life!


Recently more and more studies show links between bacteria living in our guts and brain diseases such as Parkinson's and Autism.
Now, a huge multicenter study published in one of the most respected journals, Nature, showed that a particular gut microbiome is causing malformations of blood vessels in the brain. Veins in the brain are becoming blood filled bubbles, which can leak blood or burst at any time. Some experience symptoms like seizures or stroke. In worst case a bursting bubble in the brain can be fatal.
So far there is no treatment available for cerebral cavernous malformations.
While researching these cerebral cavernous malformations, researchers accidentally found that a microbiome living in the intestines might be the cause. Certain bacteria (Gram-negative bacteria) are causing defects in the wall of the blood vessels. Thus, the vessels are forming the dangerous bubbles.
The researchers could show that a single course of antibiotics kills the microbiome permanently and protect from the dangerous malformation in the brain.
The link between brain and gut is somehow surprising but more studies have to explore this topic in the future.
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are a cause of stroke and seizure for which no effective medical therapies yet exist. CCMs arise from the loss of an adaptor complex that negatively regulates MEKK3–KLF2/4 signalling in brain endothelial cells, but upstream activators of this disease pathway have yet to be identified. Here we identify endothelial Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and the gut microbiome as critical stimulants of CCM formation. Activation of TLR4 by Gram-negative bacteria or lipopolysaccharide accelerates CCM formation, and genetic or pharmacologic blockade of TLR4 signalling prevents CCM formation in mice. Polymorphisms that increase expression of the TLR4 gene or the gene encoding its co-receptor CD14 are associated with higher CCM lesion burden in humans. Germ-free mice are protected from CCM formation, and a single course of antibiotics permanently alters CCM susceptibility in mice. These studies identify unexpected roles for the microbiome and innate immune signalling in the pathogenesis of a cerebrovascular disease, as well as strategies for its treatment.

Growing partnership: trans-o-flex and Roman Mayer celebrate 40th anniversary
trans-o-flex and logistic partner have extended their co-operation from one lorry to up to 100 lorries a day / The secret of this dynamic development: loyalty and adaptability
(PresseBox) ( Weinheim, 05.11.12 )
The co-operation started in 1972 with a 7.5-ton lorry, which was used to transport parcels and pallets between the trans-o-flex locations in Augsburg, Munich and Nuremberg. Today, the forwarding agency Roman Mayer regularly deploys 70 long-distance transport vehicles for the trans-oflex Group. In peak times, this number rises to up to 100 vehicles a day. In a ceremony in Augsburg, both companies could now celebrate the 40th anniversary of their partnership. "Stability in customer and supplier relations is something that both companies stand out for and that they have in common", said Oliver Rupps, Spokesman of the Board of Managing Directors of the trans-o-flex Logistics Group. "However, stability and loyalty must always go hand in hand with adaptability and flexibility. This generates sustainable dynamics required to let partners and customers profit."
Environmental balance in long-distance haulage clearly improved
As an example of this dynamics, Rupps reminded of the enormous increase in the shipping volume achieved by trans-o-flex following Germany's reunification: in 1990, Roman Mayer extended his fleet of vehicles deployed for trans-o-flex assignments by 40 % within one month and recruited the necessary number of drivers. "Despite this strong growth, the Roman Mayer Group has, for decades, been among the three leading transport companies in trans-o-flex' quality ranking."
According to Rupps, it is not least Roman Mayer's environmental commitment that contributes to this success. Just as trans-o-flex, the company has been certified to DIN 14001. "As one of the first logistic networks, trans-o-flex has set up a complete CO2 balance, including the emissions of its transport partners, in accordance with the International Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Also because 98 % of Roman Mayer's vehicles meet the Euro 5 standard and 20 lorries have a Euro 6 engine, we could clearly reduce the transport-related burden on the environment caused by our company's long-distance haulage."
"Technologies, customers and markets change quickly and we have to adapt to it", said Roman Mayer. "However, a successful logistic company not only needs flexibility and innovation but also continuity because, especially in the transport business, we have to observe a number of quite simple basic rules. This is why, even after 40 years of co-operation with trans-o-flex, we still attach as much importance to just-in-time order execution as we did on the very first day."
Today, the Roman Mayer Group has a workforce of approximately 1,100 employees in 29 locations. Roman Mayer joined his parents' company in 1969 at the age of 20 and with a lorry. In 1976, he took over the company's management and developed the forwarding agency into a logistic company with a fleet of approximately 400 lorries and a storage capacity for 85,000 pallets. In order to secure the company's future, the Roman Mayer Group employs approximately 100 trainees working as forwarding merchants, management assistants in informatics, warehouse specialists, car mechatronics engineers and professional drivers. With his daughter Valesca Mayer, the next Mayer generation has joined the company to secure a successful succession management.
The success of the Europe-wide operating trans-o-flex Logistic Group is based on three pillars: 1. trans-o-flex Schnell-Lieferdienst offers a full-coverage network for the efficient and safe transportation of parcels and pallets (combi-freight) all over Germany. This also includes numerous additional services, such as the transportation of hazardous goods without being limited to small quantities. At the same time trans-o-flex, in its capacity as shareholder and partner of the Eurodis network, provides full-coverage combi-freight services in 34 European countries. The company has developed a large number of tailor-made solutions for specific sectors, e.g. for the pharmaceutical and home entertainment / consumer goods industries. 2. With a special network for active temperature control in the temperature ranges of between 2 and 8 °C as well as 15 and 25 °C, trans-o-flex ThermoMed takes over the transportation of temperature-sensitive goods for the pharmaceutical industry ThermoMed provides multinational pharmaceutical distribution in Europe with daily deliveries to 7 countries including Germany, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Denmark, and France via the ThermoMed European Network. 3. Additional logistic services from storage and picking/packing to value-added services, such as the set-up service for sales displays or electrical appliances, up to customer-specific transport networks are developed and implemented under the umbrella of trans-o-flex Logistik Service. In 2011, annual sales of the Group, which has a workforce of approximately 1,600 employees, amounted to ca. € 550 million. Since June 2008, trans-o-flex has been a 100-% subsidiary of Österreichische Post. For more information, go to www.trans-o-flex.com.

No matter how knowledgeable and competent its individual members may be, a dysfunctional team will undermine organisational goals, sap morale and waste effort. This seminar focuses on the critical roles of team leader and middle manager in harnessing their team's potential, and introduces and practices techniques for moving the team to peak performance.
The seminar uses a range of approaches to learning, including experiential group activities, individual exercises, mini-case studies, role plays and syndicate discussions. Formal inputs are used to introduce underpinning theory. A key part of the learning process is sharing the differing experiences participants bring, as well as experimenting with novel – and sometimes challenging – techniques. A psychometric instrument will be used to generate a personality profile, which will contribute to your understanding of your preferences and personal style.
Team leaders and managers who have shared and practised different ways of performing the key leadership functions offer increased self-awareness, flexibility and confidence. They are better able to stand back from the everyday detail and focus on longer-term organisational and team needs, and can devote more time to investing in future capability.
Participants will be exposed to a range of different approaches to leadership practice, allowing them to select those most suitable for their team's requirements and the changing situations they together face. The opportunity to share experiences with fellow participants and experiment with new techniques in the safety of the training room will provide a broad spectrum of perspectives.

TFC acquires 13.3 acres in LaVergne, builds the first farmer-owned fertilizer plant in Tennessee, and begins superphosphate production. The fertilizer plant is the first major investment that the new cooperative makes in fixed assets, and will serve the entire state until the Tenco mill is completed in 1952. The need for higher grades of fertilizer had largely precipitated the launching of the Co-op system in the 1940's.
Several bulk petroleum plants are placed in operation at member Co-ops to better provide farmers with oils, greases, and fuel. Crockett Farmers Cooperative had the first cooperatively owned bulk plant in the state, followed by Smith, Hardin, Dyer, Blount, and Weakley.
An engineering Division is set up to help plan, develop, and construct TFC and member Co-op facilities.
A 20,000-square-foot seed warehouse in LaVergne is completed. The building serves as storage for seed products and contains seed-cleaning equipment.
The Tenco fertilizer plant, located nine miles south of Knoxville, is built as TFC's second fertilizer plant farmers in East Tennessee.
new warehouse is built at Tenco, with room for future expansion. The facility also contains field offices for East Tennessee.
TFC moves its offices from Nashville to LaVergne.
TFC's seed-cleaning program gets under way, with 2 million pounds of Tennessee-produced seed processed in the new LaVergne plant. In anticipation of growth, 10,000 square feet are added to the seed plant.
On Apr 19, J. Franklin I appointed TFC's second general manager.
Sales reach $10 million. Fertilizer accounted for 46 percent, seed 17 percent, and feed 15 percent. Some $2 million of that amount was in what was described as the "lesser divisions" in the commodity program: Hardware, Insecticides and Petroleum.
By the end of 1955, all bank notes had been paid and TFC os owned by the farmers of Tennessee.
TFC purchases existing fertilizer plant in Halls to serve the needs of West Tennesee farmers.
TFC adds 127 acres adjoining property in LaVergne for future expansion.
Construction of LaVergne feed mills begins. In an effort to increase volume and help justify the construction of TFC's own feed mill, the Co-op Quality Feed program begins with a new bag design, improved merchandising, and more advertising.
FC's quality control lab becomes operational for testing of seed, feed, and fertilizer samples.
TFC's first mill opens in LaVergne in February and produces 30,000 tons in its first year.
A tire-recapping plant begin operations to provide farmers with a farm market for their used tires and, at the same time, a source of first-quality recaps for both automobile and farm equipment.
TFC buys Delta Seed Corp. and establishes the Halls Seed Plant.
TFC becomes part-owner of FFR Cooperative, originally established as Farmers Forage Research. Today, this interregional plant-breeding cooperative continues to manage and coordinate extensive genetic research and testing in on-farm evaluations throughout major crop production areas. Through its efforts, FFR shortens the time required to bring new crop varieties through the laboratory to the farmers' fields. Headquartered at West Lafayette, Ind., FFR has two locations in Tennessee – a soybean research and testing operation at Jackson and a forage research plot at Franklin.
The Tennessee Cooperative debuts in May, with its first issue designed as a four-page newspaper focused on farming news and Co-op events. The Cooperator was heralded as an "important ew step" by then TFC board chairman Claude Jones of Rutherford County, who described it as a "link between our farmers and their Co-op." Through its design and content mix had changed through the years, the Cooperator continues to serve as the Co-op voice in Tennessee, promoting products abd services, recognizing accomplishments of farmers, educating readers about their state, advancing agriculture and connecting the Co-op community.

Moms Read Books From School Library Containing Anal Sex, Pedophilia
At Board Meeting
Warning: This post contains graphic sexual descriptions, including of illegal sex acts
Two infuriated mama bears have gone viral this month after reading aloud from books available to students in their school libraries graphic, X-rated content involving anal sex and sexual relationships between men and boys.
First, in Lake Travis, Texas, former school board candidate and mom Kara Bell read aloud from the 2015 novel "Out of Darkness" which was found in the Hudson Bend Middle School library.
"'Take her out back, we boys figured, then hand on the t***ies, put it in her cornbox, put it in her cornhole, grab a hold of that braid, rub that calico,'" Bell read to the board.
"You can find that on page 39 of the book called 'Out of Darkness,' which you can find at Hudson Bend Middle School and Bee Cave Middle School," she explained, as The Blaze reported. "All right, not gonna lie, had to Google 'cornhole' because I have the game in the back of my yard. But according to Wikipedia, 'cornhole' is a sexual slang vulgarism for anus. The term came into … use in the 1910s in the United States … its verb form 'to cornhole,' which came into usage in the 1930s, means to have anal sex."
Addressing the board, she declared, "I do not want my children to learn about anal sex in middle school! I've never had anal sex! I don't want to have anal sex! I don't want my kids having anal sex! I want you to start focusing on education and not public health!"
Her microphone was then cut off, although she continued with her comments regardless.
"You are not public health officials; you are supposed to be educating our children! Do not teach them about anal sex!" she stated.
The book has since been pulled from Hudson Bend and Bee Cave Middle Schools and its contents reviewed, according to KXAN.
Meanwhile, a Virginia mom was stunned after she probed her child's school library after seeing video
of Bell's comments to the school board earlier this month.
"After seeing a September 9th school board meeting in Texas on pornography in schools, I decided to check the titles at my child's high school, Fairfax High School. The books were available, and we checked them out. Both of these books include pedophilia, sex between men and boys," Stacy Langton told the Fairfax County School Board last week, holding up the books she found. "The illustrations include fellatio, sex toys, masturbation, and violent nudity."
Some of the quotes she read are stomach-churning:
"I can't wait to have your c*** in my mouth. I am going to give you the blowjob of your life, and then I want you inside me."
"What if I told you I touched another guy's d***? What if I told you I sucked it? I was ten years old, but it's true. I sucked Doug Goble's d***, the real estate guy, and he sucked mine too."
In jaw-dropping irony, Langton's mic was cut off as she read the sickening quotes and she was told
"I'm sorry, there are children in the audience here."
Yes — board members were concerned that children, which the Daily Wire was told by several attendants of the meeting were not actually present, might overhear the passages read from books that were available in the high school library.
"Do not interrupt my time! I will stand here until my time is restored and my time is finished. These books are in stock and available in the libraries …" Langton hotly replied, before she was again interrupted by board members, one of whom said, "For high school students, ma'am!"
After her mic was turned off, she began to loudly read off the laws against circulating child pornography as the crowd began chanting "Go to jail!" prompting nearly all the members of the school board to leave.
Later, Karl Frisch, a board member who as The Daily Wire noted does not have any children and works to promote LGBT issues in Fairfax County schools, took to Twitter in what appeared to be a defense of the material that Langton had attacked.
"It's not every week the School Board receives two exorcisms during public comment," he wrote. "To be clear, nothing will disrupt our Board's commitment to LGBTQIA+ students, families, and staff. Nothing."

In the Age of the Embarrassing Leak, Can We All Admit That Encryption Is a Good Thing?
Government officials arguing against privacy protections are learning their importance in the most embarrassing ways possible.
J.D. Tuccille | 10.11.2016 12:01 AM
(State Dept.)
State Dept
Even the likes of surveillance-friendly presidential candidates might be thinking fond thoughts about the benefits of privacy and encryption after the events of recent days. It's one thing to have your friends in business found out for turning people's personal communications over to your friends in government. It's quite more troubling when you're Hillary Clinton and your own missives are hacked and reveal your strong belief in the value of telling the voting public one thing while firmly planning on doing another.
And it's little consolation that America's drunk uncle, Donald Trump, staggered through the headlines in the form of old recordings of his grope-y locker room shenanigans to briefly distract some public attention from such cynical musings. Those leaks are out there, and opposing candidates can't always be counted on to provide such clickbait-y counterprogramming.
But will the embarrassed powers-that-be extend their concern to the rest of us? It's entirely too easy to imagine America's political class responding to the summer, and fall (and preceding years) of inconvenient leaks with special dispensations only for the anointed. As for the rest of us… we'll always have Yahoo.
Yahoo, of course, is the aging Internet giant that apparently still offers email services—though probably not for long. Demand for its offerings is likely to shrivel in the wake of revelations that Yahoo's senior management succumbed to government demands that it search all of its customers' incoming messages for anything that might interest the sort of people who sit in Beltway-area offices, eavesdropping on the world. The company did so without challenge and it bypassed its own security department, the head of which resigned in protest.
In a post-Snowden world, many people want to know what the hell Yahoo's leadership was thinking by complying with the sort of snooping that Apple gained public kudos by defying. Yahoo may even have increased the risk of hacking by creating a backdoor for the government. Hacking of the sort that was revealed right before we found out about the snooping, that is.
It's almost as if punching holes in privacy protections weakens them across the board.
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) demanded to know the government's rationale for the Yahoo surveillance and warned that "federal law is being interpreted in ways that many Americans would find surprising and troubling."
But it's not clear that laws and even their most reasonable interpretations are much of a bar to such intrusions into people's private communications.
The NSA's bulk telephone metadata collection was found to be thoroughly illegal once revealed to the public by whistleblower Edward Snowden and brought to the courts. "We hold that the text of section 215 cannot bear the weight the government asks us to assign to it, and that it does not authorize the telephone metadata program," concluded a three-judge panel of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
And Germany's BND spy agency, which self-righteously reduced contacts with the NSA out of a professed respect for privacy, was later shown to be quietly, and quite illegally, engaged in mass surveillance of its own against the German population. "These infringements of constitutional rights are conducted without any legal basis and thus harm the constitutional right of informational self-determination of [innocent] people," announced the country's Federal Data Protection Commission.
Both incursions into people's private lives survived for years behind the scenes, succumbing more (to the extent they actually go away, rather than continuing behind the scenes) to public exposure than to legal barriers. Totally illegal the snooping may have been, but it would have certainly continued if it hadn't been publicized.
Despite public uproars over indiscriminate surveillance efforts, Yahoo is only one company trying to win that public's business that hasn't learned that many people value their privacy and don't want it compromised by the services with which they deal. Neither, apparently, has Facebook. The social media giant recently rolled out "secret conversations" for its Messenger app, but they're not necessarily as secret as promised. The company assures users, "If you think a message you've received in a secret conversation goes against our Community Standards, you can report it. When you report a secret conversation, recent messages from that conversation will be decrypted and sent securely from your device to our Help Team for review."
Presumably, they could decrypt it by government order, too. Or hackers might just get access to the back door and help themselves.
There's no such thing as absolutely assured privacy, unfortunately. But that doesn't mean we have to choose communications techniques that are deliberately compromised from the get-go. Services like the messaging app Signal at least try to keep personal information secure from snoops. ProtonMail makes the same effort for email, though some potential vulnerabilities have been found. They and other efforts start from the premise that it should at least be difficult for personal data to be intercepted—even if it's by government agencies.
Government officials (and would-be officeholders) push back on that idea. FBI Director James Comey can't shut up about how much he hates anything that makes it hard for him to steam open the nation's envelopes. Presidential hopeful and national embarrassment Donald Trump called for a boycott of Apple for refusing to help the FBI crack its phones' security. Our horrifyingly likely next president, Hillary Clinton, famously called for a "Manhattan-like project" to crack encryption.
Who knows whether Comey will ever change his tune? But both presidential candidates probably have a stronger appreciation for privacy these days. Clinton, in particular, may have had second thoughts about encryption after so much of her own correspondence spilled out across the internet.
If so, maybe we'll find out by digging through the next batch of her email to get swiped and released to the public.
