High Court Hears Cases on Novel Texas Law, but Outcome May Not Affect Abortion Access
The Supreme Court, whose conservative majority is considered poised to overturn decades-old decisions guaranteeing abortion rights, heard its first two abortion cases of the 2021-22 term Monday. But the court could decide this case without deciding the fate of abortion rights in America. At stake is the future of a Texas law, which severely limits the procedure, that the high […]

CBD oil is a diluted form of cannabidiol, a chemical compound that comes from the cannabis plant. Diluting the CBD with a carrier oil results in CBD oil. By infusing other ingredients, manufacturers can create bath bombs or bath salts.
Is there anything more pampering than a warm bath? Whether you get in the tub to wash off your skin, relax mentally, loosen up stiff muscles, or promote a good night's sleep, you know all about the healing powers of a good bath. But if you thought a bath couldn't be more relaxing, think again. A CBD bath could be the ultimate way to calm your mind, body, and spirit.
Bath bombs and bath salts can be good for the skin and ensure a relaxing bathing experience. Some of these products may contain cannabidiol (CBD) oil, which can have some additional skin benefits.
Even if you were skeptical about CBD in any form, a bath with aromatic, CBD-infused bath salts could be the perfect way to experience the effects of CBD without ingesting it and while doing something you are already enjoying (in the tub lounge around). .
RELATED: How to Use CBD For Pain (And Why You Should Start Using It)
Benefits of the CBD bath
What does this calming, homeostatic, cannabis-derived plant matter have to do with bath time?
The heat improves the anti-inflammatory properties of CBD.
Among other things, CBD has anti-inflammatory properties. "CBD is best used for inflammation, which is really the root of all problems with your skin, whether it's eczema or pain. Dissolving a CBD-infused product like bath salt or a bath bomb in hot water and soaking it in it will help speed up the process of CBD absorption into the skin and blood circulation through the pores.
CBD could make this relaxing bath even more relaxing.
Baths provide so many minerals, promote healing, and are great for post-workout sore muscles. The greatest advantages [of a CBD bath] would relax and decompress, relieve musculoskeletal pain and inflammation, and soothe angry skin conditions.
CBD is absorbed more efficiently through the skin.
Compared to taking a few drops of CBD tincture orally (e.g. under the tongue), topical absorption gives faster and more direct results. As with any nutrient or ingredient applied to the skin, it is absorbed into the bloodstream faster than when taken orally.
It's beneficial in many ways.
The reason CBD is miraculous isn't because of its effects (it's not a panacea), but because it's such a malleable ingredient. It's a compound that acts on so many different systems in your body. It affects anxiety, mood, insomnia – all of these different variations of your life.
It is a natural, herbal ingredient that works in conjunction with other soothing bath products.
Don't think of a CBD bath as immersing yourself in a tub of chemicals. CBD works naturally and subtly and together with the various therapeutic ingredients of your chosen bath product. Bath salts, for example, contain a pore-opening and detoxifying sulfur that allows all of the other minerals in the product (such as Dead Sea salt and magnesium) and herbal extracts (including marjoram, yarrow, rosemary and CBD) to penetrate pores faster and deeper.
RELATED: Here are the top 5 cannabis and CBD subscription boxes
CBD bath bombs, also called hemp bath bombs, usually have a range of 25 to 100 milligrams or more per unit. The first time you're incorporating CBD for bathing, start with one in the low to medium range (between 25 and 50 milligrams per bath bomb) and see how you feel. If you're looking for a more dramatic effect, you can step up to a product with 100 milligrams of CBD, but expect to pay more for the higher cannabinoid content. In any case, using a CBD bath bomb is perfectly safe – you cannot take CBD OD and it will not make you feel psychoactive or "high". Using a CBD bath bomb is easy as pie. Treat yourself to a warm bath, drop your bath bomb and enjoy the bubbling as the product dissolves. Soak in for at least 20 minutes to allow your skin to absorb as many of the beneficial cannabinoids and minerals as possible. However, this form of CBD is not edible, so be careful not to splash your CBD bath water in your eyes or mouth.
CBD bath bombs and salts can moisturize the skin, reduce pimples, and provide a relaxing experience at the same time. There are a number of CBD bath bombs and salts on the market. These contain different amounts and types of CBD, essential oils, and fragrances. A person may want to consider these factors when deciding which bath bomb or bath salts are best for them, which is why it is important to find reliable CBD reviews before diving in.

The future is here. Cannabis comes in an ultra-efficient smokeless pill form that you can take orally. It seems unconventional, but when you really think about it, most things come in pill form.
It's not uncommon to see psychoactive compounds, medications, and dietary supplements in capsule or tablet form. It would be a lot weirder if you had to smoke your vitamins or your allergy medicine.
Before you run out and grab some cannabis pods, there are a few things you should know. The experience varies widely and the effects may not be for everyone.
RELATED: Berner launches "Caps by Cookies," capsules that mix mushrooms and THC
What is a cannabis capsule?
Cannabis capsules take the extract of a cannabis plant and mix it with a type of carrier oil in pre-measured doses. The packaging will usually list how much THC and how much CBD is in each capsule. You swallow your pre-measured dose of cannabis just like you would swallow any other capsule or tablet.
Cannabis capsules are not an adjunct to smoking or vaping cannabis. You are an alternative. If you don't like smoking or can't smoke, cannabis capsules allow you to enjoy the high of your favorite strains without involving your lungs.
Hemp or CBD capsules are completely different
Labeling is crucial, and vague terms can sometimes be misleading. Hemp is cannabis and CBD is a cannabinoid. Hemp extract capsules, or CBD capsules, are also technically cannabis capsules. The main difference between the two is that hemp capsules will not get you high. Hemp contains less than 0.3% THC, which is insufficient to induce any noticeable psychoactive effects.
That doesn't mean hemp extract or CBD are baseless. They're a great way to naturally induce relaxation and create feelings of emotional well-being without altering your mind. If you want some of the benefits of weed but need to keep your mind sober, CBD capsules are great. This is a complementary way to enjoy cannabis. You can take CBD with weed without getting high.
RELATED: How to Choose the Right CBD Softgel Dosage
How do cannabis capsules work?
You swallow your cannabis capsule and it reaches your stomach. Your body begins to digest and filter the cannabinoids, including the THC. They are released slowly over time, producing a high that can last up to two hours to start and up to eight hours to finally finish.
Capsules can be very polarizing. This is going to sound like an absolute nightmare to some people. If you want to be able to control your high and have a good idea of when it will end, capsules are definitely not for you.
If you have a high THC tolerance and use weed for its medicinal or wellness benefits, you'll probably love the idea of a capsule. Taking one low-dose capsule twice a day will give you benefits without making you feel too high to function. It's the perfect means to an end.
How capsules compare to other forms
Cannabis capsules work very differently than other forms of cannabis. For some people, this is a selling point. Others might see it as a disadvantage. It all depends on how you want to enjoy your weed.
vaporize cannabis
Vaping cannabis is one of the most convenient ways to use cannabis. It's not messy. There is no smoke, no ash and no lighter. You don't have to grind, pack or roll anything. You don't have to remove the resin from a pipe or bong. It's also extremely concentrated. You can take a strong hit from a vape and quickly end your smoking session when you have a novel to write or a song to play. You will feel the effects almost immediately.
Food, fashion, nutrition, grooming, self-care — the common factor across them all is hemp. What is it about this plant that you can't turn left or right without bumping into it? And how does it help? We find out
Did you wonder 'will this get me high?' when you heard of hemp? Don't worry, you're not being judged. The answer is an obvious no, but there's quite a confusion about what hemp is, and why it's literally in every moisturizer or muffin you come across. Let's begin by understanding hemp.
"Hemp has a plethora of medicinal benefits without the psychoactive effects. The hemp protein is derived from the cannabis plant, and is a great plant-based protein source. THC, the hallucinogenic ingredient found in marijuana, is not present. It can become a great staple in your diet, whether you already consume a plant-based diet or not," explains Harshal Goel, founder of The Trost, a brand committed to health and wellness through hemp nutrition.
"Cannabis is the umbrella term, and hemp and marijuana are broad classifications of it. THC and CBD are present in both marijuana and hemp. Hemp contains high CBD and low THC (less than 0.3 per cent), while marijuana contains much more THC (over 0.3 per cent)," explains Kunaal Kapoor, the co-founder of Hempivate, a platform that sells wellness, fashion, and nutrition products.
Bombay Hemp Company is one of the country's leading companies on the forefront of the hemp revolution that boasts a wide range of brands under its umbrella including a fashion label, wellness products, hemp fabric and nutrition products. Yash Kotak, Co-founder & CMO at Bombay Hemp Company explains, "Hemp is an extremely versatile crop, with over 25,000 proven uses in a multitude of industries. This native crop shows the potential to propel exponential changes in many industries while aiding and improving the quality of life at large. Hemp products under the category of health and wellness hold massive opportunities in the Indian market." Speaking about the future of this unique plant in India, he continues, " Working with hemp is environmentally sound, economically equitable, and socially inclusive. The versatility of the crop makes it a no-brainer for it to be plugged in as a raw material or as a main ingredient in most of the product offerings. In the Indian market, the crop holds a massive opportunity, given all the scientific evidence as to why the plant should exist in the first place. There are more reasons made for it than against it. Hemp has been out and out an Indian crop and I strongly believe with times to come and the right kind of scientific evidence people will pick up on it."
The last three years have brought hemp to the forefront of not only consumption, but also conversation. FSSAI issued a notification on November 15, 2021, stating, "The hemp seed, hemp seed oil, and hemp seed flour shall be sold as food or used as an ingredient in a food for sale subject to conforming standards." Thanks for this clarity, the hemp space is bound to see quite a boost in the coming years.
Rohit Shah, co-founder and CEO of Hemp Horizons, delves a little into the history of this domesticated crop. "Pick any ancient civilization and you'll find cannabis being cultivated, used as medicine, used as a construction material. Take Ajanta Ellora caves for instance — history shows that these were covered and protected by wild cannabis grown over the years. Mayans used cannabis, Mesopotamia historical data has cannabis usage for clothing, medicine, nutrition, Chinese civilizations used hemp. Vedas deem cannabis as one of the five sacred plants. What other affirmations do we need?"
With entrepreneurs and startups aiming to create a culture with hemp, the demand has been on an all-time high (quite literally), from therapeutic products, prescription-based products to relieve pain and anxiety, nutrition powders, oils, and other personal care products. Shah says that as people are realizing its benefits, the demand is sure to rise. "In India, we have seen a four time growth in our processing quantities in the past 12 months. More and more brands, restaurants, cafes have started looking at hemp seed products as a healthy, gluten free, soy free, dairy free alternative. The pet industry has already started using hemp seed oil as a joint and skin health oil for pets. Hemp powder is also a great alternative for high fiber nutrient dense meals for pets," he details, and Kapoor further adds, "The demand chart was initially hindered due to the Indian government's decision of banning hemp cultivation until July 2018. Now that more awareness is being created and dialogues are being opened up regarding the benefits of hemp, the demand for new as well as existing products has risen quite significantly."
Go to any good, clean eating restaurant, and they will have a few hemp favoring dishes worth trying. Sante Spa Cuisine in Khar offers Zucchini Zoodles with Hemp Pesto and Braised Kale Salad with toasted Hemp seeds. We tried zoodles, and loved the texture as well as the taste; a great weekday lunch option if you don't want to feel sluggish after a meal. Chef Shailendra of Sante Spa explains, "Hemp has a lot of health benefits and as a substitute to using nuts, we've incorporated hemp seeds to make a beautiful earthy pesto for our pastas. Also, we use hemp oil to make salad dressings. The thought was to be able to use a melange of ingredients that are healthy, locally sourced, and have benefits that are great for our everyday lives."
Since we did history, here's also a little science. Hemp powder and seeds contain a protein ratio of 2:1 — 30g of hemp powder or seeds contain 15g of protein. The brain uses amino acids to create protein, which are obtained through diet, most commonly from animal products such as meat, milk, and eggs. Hemp products, on the other hand, contain all of the amino acids required to aid in the repair of muscle cells, the regulation of the neurological system, and the regulation of brain function. This makes them an excellent animal-free alternative in food, not to mention they are rich in fiber, fatty acids including the 1: 3 perfect ratio of Omega 3s and Omega 6s naturally present, vitamin E, minerals, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc as well.
Luxury Ayurveda brand SoulTree has recently launched their range of hemp products. dr Ipsita Chatterjee, Ayurveda Expert & Technical Head, of SoulTree explains the benefits of hemp in personal care products. "There is an intrinsic sense of curiosity and interest in the consumer about the ingredient, which has enabled the journey of discovering beauty and wellness solutions featuring hemp, and specifically with our range of products, the Hemp Ayurvedic Treatment Facial Oil, the Hemp Soothing Elixir Face Serum and Hemp Treat and Nourish Day Cream are seeing overwhelming adoption and demand."
Skincare brands such as Colorbar, Juicy Chemistry, Neemli Naturals, Beardo, and many others are introducing hemp-based ranges. "Our Vita Hemp range includes a serum, moisturizer, and night oil, which restores and balances the skin. Hemp oil is rich in vitamins and antioxidants, which hydrate and relax the skin. Hemp oil also repairs the skin from sunburn, redness, and dryness," explains a spokesperson from Colorbar. Similarly, Beardo has introduced a wide range of hemp products that caters especially for men's skincare needs including face wash, hair oil, face scrub and soaps. "We found natural ways of keeping the skin healthy with our miracle ingredient – introducing skincare's best kept secret – hemp seed oil – a multipurpose warrior with all-round benefits," says the brand's website.
Beardo's CEO explains, "As a company we are very optimistic about the future of hemp for personal care in India. In fact so kicked that we have launched not just with one product but an entire bouquet of six products under the hemp umbrella. We acknowledge that it will take some doing, on consumer education, but given how the entire ecosystem is growing with multiple companies now offering these products, the compounding effect is sure to take wings some time down the road."
Hemp seed oil in skincare comes with a lot of benefits. "It treats and heals acne-prone, dry, rosacea-prone, and sensitive skin. The perfect ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 and the rare Gamma-Linolenic Acid, act as the ideal skin barrier, reduce inflammation, and improve texture and appearance. Vital amino acids nourish skin, restore visible damage, strengthen skin surface, and reduce the appearance of fine lines. Phytochemicals promote healthy cell turnover and maintain water balance in the skin," adds Dr. Chatterjee.
Trost is the first brand to do roll cigarettes, one of their CBD-based prescription products. Goel explains, "One has to fill a medical consultation form. Upon filling the same, a virtual appointment will be booked with an Ayurvedic doctor, who will be able to advice on recommended dosage etc. as per one's ailments."
There's so much scope in hemp yet to be explored, brands and doctors unanimously agree. Time to try that hemp seed oil before bed time.
LEGALITY OF HEMP IN INDIA
In 2015, the cultivation of hemp was legalized by the Uttarakhand government. As the Cannabis Sativa crop is often perceived as a drug for its psychoactive properties, both the cultivation and harvest of this crop is regulated globally. Each year, the sowing of Cannabis Sativa varieties is reviewed, certified seeds are used to start the crop, field registrations are required, and throughout the cycle of cultivation, the crop continues to be monitored by authorities.
Currently, it is legal to grow hemp in India under the conditions that the THC levels are maintained below 0.3 percent, and an individual is only allowed to cultivate the seeds, leaves, and stalks of the plant. (Flowers are still banned under certain conditions). Pure Hemp products such as seeds, apparels, accessories, and personal care can be sold without requesting a prescription; however, when it comes to CBD/THC centric products, a prescription is needed for verification.

A teenager has been found guilty of murdering a 15-year-old in a park in Birmingham.
Hassan Mahmood was attacked in Oaklands Park, Yardley, on 15 July and died in hospital from a single stab wound to the back.
A 17-year-old was found guilty at Birmingham Crown Court, but a 16-year-old boy, accused of assisting an offender, was cleared.
The 17-year-old, who cannot be named, will be sentenced on 28 February.
He had admitted stabbing Hassan but claimed he did not intend to kill him.
Speaking after the verdict, West Midlands Police's Det Insp Warren Hines said: "Hassan went to the park that day expecting a fist-fight with another teenager to settle their differences, but by arming himself with a knife the defendant knowingly raised the stakes and it ended in a young lad losing his life."
He added that the 17-year-old killer had intended to cause serious harm, and showed a lack of remorse which was "sickening".
"He seemingly relished the opportunity to brag about what he'd done after he was arrested and told officers he expected to be released without charge because they wouldn't be able to find the murder weapon."

Q: Have a class implement an unspecified generic interface in java I have the following "generic" question
Here is a my generic message interface.
public interface Message<P,R> {
    void setParams(P Params); // and the corresponding getter
    void setResults(R results);
}

For simplicity reasons I would like to specify a number (of interfaces) of messages by predefining  the parameter and result type. So that if you work with message X you know what the params and result type are.
Such as
public interface MyMessage extends Message<String,String> {}

That works fine, now I would like to have a common base class which can implement any of the messages.
public class BaseMessage<P,R> implements Message<P,R> {
    P param;
    R results;
    // base implementation
}

The problem of the above now is that I can't have a BaseMessage which implements MyMessage.
Multiple attempts like
public class BaseMessage<T extends BaseMessage<P,R>> implements Message<P,R>

or
public class BaseMessage<? extends BaseMessage<P,R>> implements Message<P,R>

will not work, as the compiler complains that P and R are not bound.
Introducing them as additional parameters works again, but at that moment the resulting class will not be cast-able to BaseMessage or the desired MyMessage.
public class BaseMessage<P,R,T extends BaseMessage<P,R>> implements Message<P,R>

I would like to have a generic factory method, which would be given the message class, the parameter and the result object and will return an instance of BaseMessage which implements the MyMessage interface. Like in the follwing
public static <P, R, T extends Message<P,R>> T factory(Class<T> clazz,P p,R r) {
    T a = (T) new BaseMessage<P,R>();
    // create a BaseMessage which which Implements T
    a.setParams(p);
    a.setResults(r);
    return a;
}

Anyone encountered a similar problem, or is that something not possible in Java?
Thanks!

A: I am afraid such a generic factory is not possible, because you can't instantiate generic types like
T a = new BaseMessage<T>();

You have to tell the compiler the exact generic type parameters.
What you can do is create instances of each concrete message type, and store them in a map with the corresponding class tokens as key. Then the factory method can look up the right message and either return it directly, or (if you need separate instances) use the message object as a prototype to create the instance to be returned.
We have a somewhat similar design in our current project, with the difference that the concrete subclasses are each existing classes, with a distinct name and (unfortunately largely - but not fully - duplicated) implementation. So we can use standard classloading and Spring to instantiate them.

A: You haven't specified how the factory decides which implementation class to use, or whether the implementation classes need any custom initialization logic or parameters. Assuming simply instantiating the registered implementation class using the default constructor is sufficient, you can do:
interface Message<P, R> {
    void setParams(P Params); // and the corresponding getter

    void setResults(R results);
}

interface StringMessage extends Message<String, String> {
}

abstract class MessageImpl<P, R> implements Message<P, R> {
    P param;
    R results;
}

abstract class StringMessageImpl extends MessageImpl<String, String> implements
        StringMessage {

}
class ImplementationMap {
    private Map<Class<?>, Class<?>> map = new HashMap<Class<?>, Class<?>>();

    public <T> void register(Class<T> interfaceClass, Class<? extends T> implementationClass) {
        map.put(interfaceClass, implementationClass);
    }

    public <T> Class<? extends T> get(Class<T> interfaceClass) {
        return map.get(interfaceClass).asSubclass(interfaceClass);
    }
}

public class Test {
    static final ImplementationMap messageImplementors = new ImplementationMap() {{
        register(StringMessage.class, StringMessageImpl.class);
    }};

    static <P, R, M extends Message<P, R>> M create(Class<M> clazz, P p, R r)
            throws Exception {
        M m = messageImplementors.get(clazz).newInstance();
        m.setParams(p);
        m.setResults(r);
        return m;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        StringMessage m = create(StringMessageImpl.class, "p", "r");
    }
}

PS: Are you sure you aren't overengineering? Do you really need a parallel type hierarchy for DTOs?

A: Given the interfaces interface Message<P,R> and interface MyMessage extends Message<String, String> and the class class BaseMessage<P,R> implements Message<P,R>, these are the options I see:

*

*Don't use MyMessage and replace all instances with Message<String, String>. Your factory will be
public <P,R> Message<P, R> newMessage() {
    return new BaseMessage<P,R>();
}

*have a class
class MyBaseMessage extends BaseMessage<String, String> implemens MyMessage

The factory will be
public <M extends Message> M newMessage(Class<M> m) {
    if (m.isAssignableFrom(MyBaseMessage.class)) {
        return (M) new MyBaseMessage();
    }
    if (m.isAssignableFrom(BaseMessage.class)) {
        return (M) new BaseMessage();
    }
    return null;
}

*Don't use interfaces.

*Don't use a factory.

*(if everything else breaks) Let your factory be
public <M extends Message> M newMessage(Class<M> m) {
    try {
        return getImplClass(m).newInstance();
    } catch (Exception ex) { /* do proper error handling */ }
}

getImplClass(): Use javassist to create an implementation class at runtime that implements the interface M and extends BaseMessage.

Abbeyfields First School has received PESP funding of £9,190 in the academic year of 2016-17.
During that time we have spent £9,500 to become part of the Morpeth and Ponteland School Sports Partnership, which provides us with 5 hours of expert-led curriculum PE, 1 after school club and 1 lunch time club per week as well as access to sports competitions, sports festivals and sports CPD which is open to all of our teaching staff (including trainee and associate staff) throughout the year.
Children attend sessions of 1 hour in length, in their class group (usually 30 pupils). The lesson is led by our Specialist PE teacher, Miss Simpson, and supported by the class teacher and usually a TA or LSA. This ensures high quality teaching through well planned and well-resourced lessons; the supernumerary position of the specialist teacher means that she is free to set up ready for the lesson without the pressures of a class to administrate. The specialist teacher is also able to leave the class teacher with ideas and strategies to best extend the children's skills in their second weekly PE lesson.
As a result of this, standards in PE have significantly increased and children's and teachers' confidence has increased too. Children are able to identify their progress for themselves, and the difference in attainment from Reception age to Year 4 was very clear when Monitoring and Observations took place in July 2016.
Pupil Voice continues to discover that PE is one of the highlights for the children at Abbeyfields. Children enjoy both their curriculum delivery and the opportunity to access after school and lunch time clubs for free. This encourages an active healthy lifestyle so vital for our young people. This year we have had a focus on empowering our young people to be leaders and our Healthy Living AMPs organised, resourced and supervised a whole school assault course – an activity for all our children in Reception-Year 4 and entirely organised by the 16 AMPs and the PE Lead Teacher.
Opportunities to develop skills are abundant and Abbeyfields Footballers enjoyed success within their competitions and won their pool – progressing to represent Morpeth and Ponteland Partnership at the Northumberlnd School Games. The team came home with Bronze medals (the first time that a team from Abbeyfields has medalled) and it is felt that the increased skills due to the expert tuition of the specialist teacher during these children's academic career, was the difference which made this possible.
Attendance at After School Clubs at Abbeyfields has always been high. This has continued into the academic year 2016/17 and looks set to continue into the year 2017/18. This is something that is monitored closely and as a result, the activities on offer change frequently in response to pupils' interests and the engagement of the school community.
PE is valued highly at Abbeyfields and sporting successes either personal or school led are celebrated regularly through the school newsletter. Sporting achievement and continued participation is also celebrated weekly through the achievement assembly, where pupils can share certificates and trophies from their out of school hobbies.
Where particular skills and talents are identified in our pupils, we strive to support their parents in accessing specialist clubs and training. We offer links to a number of clubs; most typically the local Rugby, Football and Gymnastics organisations.
Going forward, we feel that it is vital to continue our membership of the Morpeth and Ponteland School Sports partnership. The specialist teaching is outstanding and the opportunities for our children to access high quality taster sessions and workshops in a wide range of sporting activities in invaluable – something we simply could not offer on our own or without the benefit of the PESP. Accessing stimulating and supportive CPD will continue to upskill our staff members.
In 2017/18 we plan to continue our commitment to Active Healthy Lifestyles, by exploring the additional possibilities afforded to us due to the increase in funding through the sugar tax fund.
Free after school coaching for our gifted and talented pupils who otherwise could not access expert tuition.
Further improve our stock of resources to ensure original, engaging and exciting PE lessons.

Be Safe on the Roads as Kentucky Re-Opens for Work and Play
As Kentuckians transition from Healthy at Home to Healthy at Work, the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety (KOHS) is asking motorists to help prevent an increase in crashes, injuries and deaths as traffic volumes increase.
"Many Kentuckians have worked diligently to make sure our friends and family are safe by being healthy at home," said Gov. Andy Beshear. "As some Kentuckians return to work, let's make sure to have that same dedication to safety when getting behind the wheel."
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 90 percent of crashes are due to human error.
"By committing to safe driving, we're protecting ourselves and everyone we share the road with on a daily basis," said Transportation Cabinet Secretary Jim Gray. "Actions such as obeying the speed limit, paying attention, driving sober and wearing a seat belt are proven measures to save lives."
There were 732 roadway fatalities in 2019. So far in 2020, preliminary numbers indicate there have been 201 fatalities, down 38 compared to the same time period last year.
"We're thankful when drivers make good decisions behind the wheel; however, sometimes even the most attentive drivers are involved in a crash," said KOHS Acting Executive Director Jason Siwula. "That's why we encourage everyone to always wear a seat belt, as it is the best protection against an aggressive, distracted or impaired driver."
Both drivers and passengers should buckle up each and every time they get in a vehicle. While more and more cars feature modern safety features to reduce crashes and fatal injuries, seat belts still rank supreme. According to KOHS, each year in Kentucky, more than half of those killed are not wearing a seat belt.
"A single death is frankly one too many and we're asking for the public's help," said Siwula. "Think about what we've accomplished so far during this crisis, and what we can continue to accomplish if we keep looking out for each other."

Ikoyi building collapse: Governor Sanwo-Olu declares 3-day mourning
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has declared three days of mourning over the Ikoyi building collapse, which occurred on Monday, November 1. No fewer than 32 persons are believed to have died in the incident. A statement released by the state Commissioner of Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, said the governor has ordered that all flags are to be flown at half-mast in public and private buildings and official engagements cancelled during the mourning period. The Lagos State Government, once again, commiserated with all those who lost their loved ones in the unfortunate incident. Omotoso added that Governor Sanwo-Olu has visited the site thrice to encourage the rescuers and console relations of those who are believed to have been trapped in the 21-storey building.The post Ikoyi building collapse: Governor Sanwo-Olu declares 3-day mourning appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

The "Ideal Woman" Of 1938 Was Revealed By 'TIME,' And It's Striking How Much Has Changed — And How Much Hasn't
AFP/AFP/Getty Images
Beauty standards are always changing, but they never seem to go away. Interestingly, TIME recently dug up an article from their archives about the proportions of the "ideal woman in 1938, and the whole thing is kind of surreal. It shows that a lot of things have, in fact, changed... but also that a lot of them haven't.
In the 1938 piece, TIME breaks down the body of one June Cox, a 20-year-old model who was five feet, six and 3/4 inches tall and weighed 124 pounds — though they were quick to point out that life insurance statistics said she ought to weigh 135. And as refreshing a change of pace it might seem for people to imply someone should gain weight instead of losing it, the fact remains that a national magazine really has no business telling a young woman to do anything with her body.
The article then went on to wax poetic about the changing standards for the female form
The perfect 1938 figure must have curves but it differs from the perfect figure of past decades in relationship of curves to straight lines. In the 1890s women had full bosoms, round hips. In actual measurements they were probably no rounder than Miss Cox but they seemed so because they were shorter, tightened their waists into an hour-glass effect … Now, though, the ideal figure must have a round, high bosom, a slim but not wasp-like waist, and gently rounded hips.
In other words, no matter what age you live in, ladies, your body is still going to be judged based on an arbitrary set of aesthetic standards, because your physical existence is definitely all about how pleasing it is for people to look at you.
Thankfully, we have sort of moved beyond the days when it is socially acceptable for a news magazine to openly dissect how many inches an ideal woman's wrist should be (in 1938 it was apparently six, in case you were wondering). However, we really haven't made as much progress as you'd hope in the past 77 years. People still discuss women's bodies like they're judging an art competition, rather than talking about real, human people.
It's just that now we do it in women's magazines instead of TIME.
So nice to see how much progress we've made since 1938.
Today, body standards are at least a tiny bit more inclusive — we don't have an inch by inch template of the "ideal" woman's body, and we've managed to embrace a small amount of ethnic diversity as well. But the range that idealized bodies still fit into is still very narrow (and very white). Women are not only expected to be thin, but are required to feel bad if they have any visible fat at all — when in reality, what we should be championing is the fact that all bodies are beautiful, no matter what shape they might happen to be.
Beauty standards come and go, and they always will, and there's nothing inherently wrong with that. What we look for in men also changes, too, after all (and personally I want a return to the days when guys wore high heels, too, to show off their shapely legs). But when it comes to women's appearance, we're often not only more heavily scrutinized, but our worth as people is often judged by how well we conform to beauty standards as well. And the whole thing is ridiculous. After all, people don't have bodies so that other people can look at them, but so that we can do things with them. What they look like should always be of secondary importance.
So maybe it's time we all stop talking about "ideal" bodies, for either men or women, and instead that accept that other people's bodies aren't ours to judge. Because 77 years from now, I really don't want to still be having this same conversation.

Yet another "World's tallest timber tower" going up in Norway
Making sustainability sexy
Lloyd Alter lloydalter
© Moeleven Limtre via Archdaily
It may be treesonous of me to say this, but we should stop this silly competition to be tallest.
If you search TreeHugger you will find eight posts with the words "tallest timber tower". Here is the latest -- an 18-story building in Brumunddal, a small town in Norway.
When you look at a photograph or Google map of Brumundal, the first thing you might wonder is, why does anyone need an 18 story building here, especially one that is pushing the edge of the technical envelope like this?
The second thing you might wonder is, what happened to Brock Commons at 18 stories, isn't it the world's tallest timber tower? Well, no, because evidently the rules, as set by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) that runs the world's tallest buildings lists, have changed, and it is now calling buildings like Brock Commons "wood-concrete Hybrids" because it has a concrete core of elevators and fire exits instead of being 100 percent wood. It's not pure enough.
I am wondering if perhaps we are at the point where this competition to be the tallest timber tower is just getting silly, especially when the Scandinavians are brilliant at designing mid-rise buildings that make far more sense in wood.
After meeting Anthony Thistleton and and discussing his Dalston Lanes project, I wrote:
Neither Thistleton or Waugh have much time for the super-tall wood towers that architects are competing to build, and prefer to build mid-rise. I think they are right, that it is a better typology for CLT and wood construction. That's why I have written that With wood on the rise, it's time to bring back the Euroloaf. This is what wood buildings want to be.
Writing in Dezeen, Clare Farrow says much the same thing.
In fact, Andrew Waugh's argument is that we don't necessarily need to be thinking of wooden skyscrapers in London, however seductive the concept is, but rather of increasing density across the board. He is thinking more in terms of 10-15 storey buildings, which many believe to be the comfortable height for human beings. What is needed, he argues, is a broader political understanding of the potential of engineered timber.
When you watch the arty videos about Mjøstårnet, there is a lot about finding new solutions to old questions, but it never tells us what the questions are. When you read the ArchDaily post, there is a lot about the engineering.
Mjøstårnet has a base width of 16 meters but Abrahamsen believes that it is possible to build taller if this is increased: "It's mainly the width that determines how tall we may build a timber building. Greater width means the building sways less. A wider building would make it unproblematic to build higher than 100 meters, and even perhaps 150 meters or more..... The main issue in the construction is the lightweight property of the timber frame that can sway up to 140 millimeters at the top when faced with the strong winds of the region. To eliminate this problem, concrete floor slabs will be used on the seven top floors to increase the weight towards the top and slow down the swaying. The building will also be anchored into the ground with piles up to 50 meters deep.
Really, these guys are fighting nature to keep the building upright and in the ground.
© Waugh Thistleton
Waugh Thistleton had the same problem in London with Dalston Lanes, noting that a problem with such a light building isn't holding it up, but holding it down. Wind loads become more important. So they designed the building to be low and castle-like, built around courtyards, spread out instead of tall. The form of the building was a reflection of the qualities of the building material. I described it as "the built form that defines great European cities."
Louis Kahn famously asked a brick what it wanted to be, and it apparently responded 'I like an arch.' Waugh Thistleton look at the properties of wood, and it wants to be low and wide. Rune Abrahamsen and Voll Arkitekter try to make it tall and skinny and have to load it down with concrete and tie it down with piles. Just because they want to build the world's tallest building, a title it might hold for a couple of months.
Perhaps we should do a little re-think about this "tallest wood building" thing. Instead, how about designing around the people who live in them and around the nature of the material they are built from, which for hundreds of years has been low and wide, rather than tall and thin.
Is an 80 storey plyscraper too much of a wood thing?

Mel B's costume throws some MAJOR shade at Victoria Beckham
Mel B's Halloween costume is sure to upset a few people, but you can be sure that Victoria Beckham won't be happy, to say the least.
Scary Spice lived up to her name and sported a mask of Posh Spice while wielding a sign saying 'No I am not going on tour.' Yikes.
She appears to be not-so-subtly taking a dig at Victoria Beckham's refusal to join the Spice Girls reunion tour and consequentially causing a fallout within the former iconic girlband.
A post shared by Red Carpet #Mood (@redcarpetmood) on Nov 1, 2018 at 12:02am PDT
The America's Got Talent judge attended Heidi Klum's annual NYC Halloween party and appeared to confirm that Posh Spice did in fact cause a feud among the band by rejecting offers for a worldwide tour.
She was accompanied by her close pal Gary Madatyan, who wore a jersey which read "Beckham" and held a sign that read: "Please, please, please do it for the Spice fans."
They're certainly trying to send us a message, that's for sure!
Mel B takes fire at Victoria Beckham's refusal to join Spice Girls tour by dressing up as her for Halloween. Don't want to throw shade Mel B, but we could have provided a much better mask…just saying. #spicegirlsreunion #MelB #VictoriaBeckham #Halloween #Halloween18 pic.twitter.com/D9oyoJKfgQ
— Celebrity Cutouts (@CelebrityCutout) November 1, 2018
Mel imitated Posh's iconic look of towering heels and a Little Black Dress, and finished off the controversial look with a mask bearing the face of the designer mum-of-four.
She is living up to her new reputation as Shady Spice – and the internet appears to be loving it.
Victoria did not attend Klum's star-studded 19th Annual Halloween Party at LAVO in New York, and therefore wasn't able to defend herself.
Instead, she celebrated Halloween with her kids back in London, dressing up as a creepy bunny which will likely scare most of her neighbours.
A post shared by Victoria Beckham (@victoriabeckham) on Oct 31, 2018 at 9:01am PDT
Fans were living in confusion over the future of the girlband in the last few months, after the members were all seen together engaging in meetings regarding a tour.
Mel C previously commented that the band might not rejoin as a five-piece, indicating that Victoria was reluctant to engage with her former bandmates.
Why can't they just reunite and be friends again? Wannabe will never go out of style.
A post shared by Spice Girls (@spicegirlsnet) on Oct 30, 2018 at 10:45am PDT
Despite Victoria's apparent absence from a future comeback, music mogul Simon Fuller is the brains behind a possible tour featuring the four remaining Spice Girls.
Mel C has been the most vocal in regards to the lack of interest from the designer: "Victoria has been quite vocal, it's really not something she wants to do at this time."
The four-piece band will reportedly gain around £12 million individually if the tour sells out, even without Victoria Beckham.
Will there be a rebound swipe at Mel B by Posh Spice, or will she even dignify the costume with a response?

Cardi B tries to fight Nicki Minaj for dissing her baby at NYFW party
The long standing feud between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B came to a head last night, when the pair were caught up in an altercation at a New York Fashion Week party.
A number of videos have surfaced online of Crdi lunging at Nicki, and allegedly throwing a shoe at her.
According to Cardi, the incident was instigated by Nicki after Nicki made a comment about Cardi's two month old daughter Kulture.

'I've let a lot of shit slide! I let you sneak diss me, I let you lie on me, I let you attempt to stop my bags, f*ck up the way I eat!,' Cardi wote in an Instagram post following the incident.
'You've threatened other artists in the industry, told them if they work with me you'll stop f*ckin with them!! I let you talk big shit about me!!'
She continued: 'I addressed you once in person, I addressed you a second time in person, and every time you copped a plea!! But when you mention my child, you choose to like comments about me as a mother, make comments about my abilities to take care of my daughter is when all bets are f–kin off!! I've worked too hard and come too far to let anybody f–k with my success!!!!'

— Kyle Gobu (@kyle_gobu) 8 September 2018
Cardi left the fight with a pronounced bump on her forehead.
However, Variety confirms that the blow was dealt by the accidental elbow of one of Minaj's security team.
Over on Twitter, the conversation has already turned to whether or not people are on team Cardi or team Nicki, with some declaring it the 'Battle of Female Rapsupremancy.'
We're thinking that there already isnt enough female representation in the rap game, so there's definitely room for both of them to succeed, without playing off one another.

'It's official' Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor agree to fight
MMA icon Conor McGregor is set to fight Floyd Mayweather in a boxing showdown of epic proportions.
Former boxing world champion Floyd Mayweather confirmed the fight via Twitter last night, uploading a video giving details of the upcoming boxing match.
The fight is scheduled for August 26 this year, and will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada.
IT'S OFFICIAL!!! https://t.co/ND07Ixugs2 pic.twitter.com/JpqFW5WbcB
— Floyd Mayweather (@FloydMayweather) June 14, 2017
It will be a standard, 12-round boxing match with 10-ounce gloves
Conor McGregor also took to Twitter to confirm the fight, but in typical cheeky McGregor fashion.
The national treasure uploaded a side-by-side snap of himself and Mayweather's father, with the caption 'THE FIGHT IS ON,' which fans are speculation is a dig at Mayweather's age.
THE FIGHT IS ON. pic.twitter.com/KhW0u3jRft
— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) June 14, 2017
This dig comes two years after McGregor told Esquire that he would 'kill' Mayweather in 'less than 30 seconds.'
It is reported that both fighters stand to earn $100 million from the fight.
To be fair, for 100 million dollars, even we would try to fight McGregor…
Want to win a nasty argument? Here's what you have to say
We all fight with our baes, besties and family members occasionally, and it's those fights with the people who really know how to hurt you that sting the most.
Whether it's a sly dig at a personality flaw you've been working on or an insecurity of yours that gets brought up, it's those horrible moments that really hurt.
'When [you're] in conflict, inevitably [you] will say something that hurts the other person using the inside information that you have on them or that they have on you,' relationship expert Hal Runkel told Business Insider.
'Everything in you wants to scream something right back at them: "Oh yeah? Well, you're starting to look like your mother!'"
According to the expert, it's not 'sorry' that will bring the argument to resolution, but 'ouch' instead.
When things are getting heated, it's at this point that you can take the 'ouch' phrase out of your arsenal and use it to your advantage.
The relationship expert explained that the best phrase to use is:
'Ouch. That one hurt. I don't know if you were meaning to hurt me.'
'I don't know if that's what you were going for; but that's what you did.'
It sounds like the updated version of 'I'm not mad, just disappointed,' and if 'ouch' instils fear into the hearts of our opponents the way that phrase used to in our teens, we're using it.

Louis Tomlinson will not face charges after brawl with paparazzi
One Direction star Louis Tomlinson was arrested last month for being involved in a brawl with a paparazzi.
Now, the singer has discovered that he will not face any charges over the incident, and will only have to give his account at a hearing according to The Sun.
"Each of the parties will be interviewed regarding the incident and advised of the law and ways to avoid similar incidences in the future," said a spokesperson for the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office.
A post shared by Louis Tomlinson (@louist91) on Feb 9, 2017 at 7:41am PST
"Typically there is no further action taken by our office after the hearing, though we do reserve the right to file charges up to one year from the date of the original incident should additional information or future actions require additional measures."
The 25-year-old singer felt that a member of the paparazzi was getting too close to him and Eleanor Calder at the time of the incident.
The pair were travelling through LAX Airport in Los Angeles.
A post shared by Louis Tomlinson (@louist91) on Feb 2, 2017 at 12:50pm PST
Both Louis and the pap will be asked to recite their accounts at the hearing, before the case is finalised.
Louis and his legal team have maintained that the singer was "provoked" in the incident.
Oh, and while we have you; don't forget to have your say in the inaugural SHEmazing Awards this May! It's time to vote, and you can do it right here!
Louis Tomlinson to hear if he will face charges over paparazzi fight
Louis Tomlinson is set to find out today if he will face charges over an alleged altercation he had with a paparazzi almost one month ago.
The case is expected to be heard at an LA courthouse today.
A spokesman for the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office said: "The matter is still under review by our office."
"If no decision is made by (Wednesday), a new court date will be scheduled."
A post shared by Louis Tomlinson (@louist91) on Sep 17, 2016 at 11:59am PDT
The 25-year-old singer felt that a member of the paparazzi was getting too close to Louis and his girlfriend Eleanor Calder.
"The paparazzi provoked and caused the altercation that occurred with Louis," a member of his team told TMZ.
"It's not the first time that a paparazzi has created an altercation with a celebrity."
"While the altercation was going on with the paparazzi, three other individuals were attacking his girlfriend during this incident and he came to her defense."
A post shared by Louis Tomlinson (@louist91) on Feb 16, 2017 at 7:30pm PST
The altercation has been classed as a misdemeanour and Louis did not have to pay a bail out charge after pledging to attend all court proceedings.
The paparazzi member was also arrested after the "scuffle."
Eh? Lewis Bloor just challenged Marnie's ex Aaron to a FIGHT
Marnie Simpson was left in shock after her now ex-boyfriend Lewis Bloor cheated on her on Valentine's Day while she was filming a new season of Geordie Shore.
Lewis posted an extensive apology to Marnie on his social media, which Marnie's Geordie Shore co-star Aaron Chalmers retweeted, adding his own accusations.
Now, Lewis has broken his social media sabbatical by clapping back at Aaron, challenging him to a fight and slinging insults in 180 characters or less.
Lewis didn't hold back when it came to slating Aaron's appearance, and even insulted the Gerodie star's extensive gallery of body art.
The TV personality was creative in his scorn, calling Aaron an "egg," a "peacock" and an "ugly nose boy." The tweets have since been deleted.
By far the most outlandish tweet came when Lewis invited Aaron to a £20,000 (€23,595) three-round charity fight to settle their differences.
Aaron was en route to Australia at the time, so a member of his team tweeted back with a response, accepting the offer to fight Lewis on Aaron's behalf.
The tweet requests that Lewis put the £20,000 in Aaron's solicitor's account, and that if he does, the fight will go down on Aaron's return.
If this fight actually happens, we will definitely cough up for the pay per view.
We wonder if Marnie will be acting as the ring girl?
In response to the drama, Marnie simply tweeted a row of anxious face emojis.
Whats the date fat boy? Lay off the twixes lets give these people what they want#lightwork
— Lewis Bloor (@lewis_bloor) February 24, 2017
The drama began when Aaron tweeted at Lewis, saying: "Why don't you start by paying back some of the 20-25K you sponged off her?" after Lewis posted an apology to Marnie for cheating on her.
While Lewis was in the throes of cheating on Marnie, he allegedly told the girl he was about to sleep with that the relationship was fake and that he was only involved with Marnie for the money.
"Thousands, thousands he's had out of me. Then he has the audacity to tell the girl that he's only with me for the money," Marnie raged in a Snapchat rant.
Also @lewis_bloor the 20k you make for getting banged out you can pay Marnie back and my 20 ill donate to charity?
— Aaron Chalmers (@AaronCGShore) February 25, 2017
Marnie later posted to say that it wasn't fair to allow people to think that Lewis had sponged money from her, and refuted the claims.
The post, which seemed to reflect positively of her relationship with Lewis and specifically slated the girls he had cheated with, led fans to believe that Marnie may consider getting back together with the Big Brother star.
Lets see how she feels after this charity fight. If it actually happens.

Up to 250 teenagers were involved in a mass fight in Dublin city
Several people were injured during a mass violent brawl on Mary Street and Henry Street in the heart of Dublin on St Stephen's Day.
Bystanders were shocked as the incident unfolded on one of the busiest shopping days of the year and as many as five shoppers are believed to have been assaulted.
A Garda spokesperson confirmed to SHEmazing! that one male was arrested on public order-related offences as Gardai responded to the incident at 7.10pm.
The incident allegedly involved two large rival groups of teenagers, some of whom were armed with knives, and is believed to have been organised via social media site Facebook.
"At one point about 90 to 100 youths came running up the street together. They were all shouting at the same time and filming themselves with their phones," a Mary Street sales assistant told the Independent.
Officers at Store Street Garda Station are continuing to investigate the gangs.

Sophie Kasaei reportedly DROPPED from Geordie Shore for second time
Three years on from her dramatic Geordie Shore departure, recently returned Sophie Kasaei has reportedly been removed from the show for a second time.
According to The Mirror, the 27-year-old was asked to leave the house after becoming involved in the same argument which led to Chloe Ferry's shock exit.
But it seems Sophie's punishment may be less permanent than Chloe's as The Sun has reported that Sophie has denied any wrongdoing.

"She's horrified to have been implicated in this row…She had absolutely nothing to do with it."
Yesterday, it emerged Chloe Ferry had been "axed" from the controversial reality series for lashing out at her new housemate, Zahida Allen.
It is alleged that Chloe attacked Zahida after seeing her holding hands with Marty McKenna.

Chloe Ferry reportedly FIRED from Geordie Shore for attacking co-star
Chloe Ferry has reportedly been fired from Geordie Shore for physically attacking fellow housemate Zahida Allen.
According to The Sun, the 21-year-old was "axed" from the infamous reality show on Sunday night for lashing out at her new co-star after seeing Zahida holding hands with her former lover Marty McKenna.
A source told the site: "Chloe was completely mortal. She kicked off in the club after seeing Marty holding hands with Zahida. She was totally radge."

"Chloe had been drinking all night and just lost it. She was kicked out and sent home in a cab."
The source alleged that at present it is unclear as to whether or not Chloe will be allowed return to the show.
Zahida – a former Miss England contestant – joined the series 14 cast along with Ex On The Beach's Sarah Goodhart and Abbie Holborn.
The trio have been brought in to replace Charlotte Crosby, Holly Hagan and Chantelle Connelly.
Teen Mom stars Amber and Farrah physically FIGHT on reunion show
It might be happy days for newlywed Maci Bookout, but unfortunately her Teen Mom OG co-stars are not quite ready to settle down.
Farrah Abraham and Amber Portwood reportedly became embroiled in a physical fight over the weekend after Farrah compared Amber's beau, Matt Baier, to a "paedophile".
According to Us Weekly, the alleged altercation took place while the girls were filming the Teen Mom OG reunion show with Dr Drew Pinsky.

After the show's host quizzed Farrah and her on/off boyfriend, Simon Saran, on his decision to suggest Matt was a paedophile on Snapchat, the controversial model interrupted her BAE's potential apology and said: "Well, [Matt] does kind of look like a paedophile."
Sources say 26-year-old Amber – who recently underwent a "Mommy Makeover" in a bid to get her pre-baby body back – then raced onstage to defend Matt, while Farrah's dad jumped in to protect his daughter.
Although we're sure Dr Drew did his best to resolve the controversy, it seems 25-year-old Farrah and her partner are not backing down as Simon has since tweeted: "Recap of reunion: @amberportwood trotting around like a hippo. Matt and another senior citizen in a small scuffle. #teenmomog."

OOH! Georgia May unfollows Laura Whitmore over Giovanni FIGHT
Laura Whitmore and Georgia May Foote were once close pals, but now it seems they're after falling out over a boy.
Georgia ended her relationship with dancer Giovanni Pernice in August after famously becoming an item after her stint on Strictly Come Dancing.
A photo posted by thewhitmore (@thewhitmore) on Sep 29, 2016 at 6:25am PDT
According to The Sun Online, the actress texted Laura about working so closely to her ex, but it totally backfired.
And since then Georgia has unfollowed Laura on all of her social media channels.

"She knew they would get close because of the hours they're putting in during training but Georgia just wanted Laura to stop plastering it across social media because she's still upset about the split."
But apparently, Laura hit back, and said her former bestie was trying to ruin her time on the show.

"Laura was furious and didn't hold back, telling her, 'You're ruining my Strictly experience.'
"Georgia thinks Laura's being a real diva and is throwing their friendship away. All Georgia wanted was for her to be a bit more low key but Laura's having none of it."
Ouch, it looks like the claws are out.
