You've got five minutes in the subway but you don't know what you should do to occupy your hands? You like doodles, scrawls and you're a huge fan of the game of the Hangman? If that's the case, you stopped at the exact right place! The Hangman Game: Scrawls is an adaptation of a great classic game supported by the presence of the little Hangman whose adorable expression are going to put a smile on your face! You should seriously play it!


Leave it to those Beavers to do something like trying to gather more than 645 people in one place for a pillow fight. I just love this in the story: "Fighters will need to bring their own pillows. Rocks or weights in pillowcases, of course, are not allowed." Really? I was planning on bring my bag o' nickels and knocking somebody cold doing this. Christ, the event's at noon, for cripes-sakes. If you held it later in the day, then you might have to worry about somebody showing up drunk and beating somebody senseless. Of course, if I went to OSU, I'd drink a bunch, too (sorry, it's Civil War week so expect a few anti-rodentBeaver comments on here now and again).

Artificial Intelligence in Emergency Medicine
June 5, 2020 June 7, 2020 ~ Shaza Karrar, UAE
Progressing through my medical training, I have witnessed the progression of paper-based medical records, all the way to different forms of electronic medical records, let alone intelligence infused medical records. It is safe to say that health informatics has evaded the way we practice medicine in all its disciplines and all across health care systems.
Artificial intelligence (AI) describes the capability of a machine to learn human cognitive functions and learning. AI applications in healthcare have brought in a paradigm shift powered by data mapping, data aggregation, analytics, and algorithmic techniques that can simulate our decision making as clinicians.
Furthermore, it can predict and suggest clinical pathways, data-based prognosis, and outcomes. AI has already been incorporated in major disciplines such as genetics, diagnostic imaging, neurology, and cancer. Yet, its path into emergency medicine (EM) is still paving its way for vast integration.
EM is a unique field of medicine, as its rich with varying paces of practice, the criticality of conditions, acuity of diagnostic decisions, and a highly stressful environment. It puts their providers consistently on a stretched active clinical decision making and interventions. Hence it is worth to foresee how AI can help enhance and complement the emergency department (ED) functions and add significant benefits to the EM physician's daily tasks.
One of the main applications of AI is triage. Efficient triage can significantly enhance patients flow, lengths of stay, resource allocations, and risk stratifications. A study published by the American College of Emergency Physicians evaluated electronic triage (E-Triage) systems based on machine learning as opposed to the Emergency Severity Index (ESI). They found out that E-Triage can more accurately classify ESI level 3 patients and highlight opportunities to use predictive analytics to support triage and decision making. (1) A lot more studies established the use of different forms of electronic triage algorithms in improving patient distribution by clinical outcomes, and improved acuity predictions.
Another application of AI was significantly noted in diagnostic imaging departments. Offering remote clinics with restricted resources access to tools for reading imaging needed for active clinical interventions. Feeding into these AI systems is a wealth of comparative studies to predict and describe abnormal studies, and enhance its predictions. Let alone how efficient it would be in a fast-paced ED, getting approximate quick predictions that can be overseen by supervising radiologists.
Additionally, AI has been used in monitoring patient's vitals, and predicting deteriorating clinical course, requiring early resource utilization and critical decision making in a timely manner. One significant example where AI and machine learning is heavily invested in is Sepsis, and mortality prediction scores, aiding at early detection, guiding clinical course and interventions by using simple data trajectories and analysis.
Another utilization of AI in an ED setting is predictions of Acute Coronary Syndromes, predicting the urgent need for revascularization from reading 12 Lead electrocardiographs (ECGs). A Study done in Keio University Hospital developed an AI model enabled to detect patients requiring urgent revascularization within 48 hours from only 12 leads electrocardiogram. (2) This significantly helps fast pace a lot of the grey cases we see and monitor in our ED's, especially if validated with risk stratification scores we are already utilizing.
It is worth saying that there are still some barriers to the vast adoption of AI integration to EDs as it's still a new evolving technology, with restrictive access, ethical discussions, safety, and needed regulations.
I personally have always had a utopian vision of how far health informatics can take our clinical practice, specifically EM. Injecting machine learning and AI into healthcare curates the perfect system that could decrease lengths of stay, intelligently and safely triage our patients, predict clinical course, suggest evidence-based treatment pathways, reduce medication errors and improve clinical outcomes. A more utopian version of my vision is how such a system can help remote and restricted regions requiring extensive resources to aid the reach of its care to underserved populations. It goes without saying that most of these do exist in one way or another, some are still being enhanced, and some are under the works for the next stage. We would foresee its progress nonetheless and slow infusion into our daily practice.

Alexander Buchanan Campbell, 1963-5; Faulkner Brown, internal renovation 1995; further refurbishment 2011. Swimming pool and leisure centre. Parabolic arch 342ft long; roof divided into 4 ribs, arched at side; each splays out forming 2 huge diagonal buttresses of reinforced concrete. Variety of glazing and brick to walls.
E (ENTRANCE) ELEVATION: double-door, glazed entrance with splayed glass and metal canopy between central buttresses; smaller canopy runs across centre of buttresses; extending beneath buttresses is a conservatory (part of 1990s renovation); arches of the roof canopy are glazed.
S ELEVATION: single span arch elevation; blind central section and ventilator to right; remainder of area glazed with concrete mullions.
W ELEVATION: bricked outbuildings at centre; large chimney in 1st bay from left; remainder of elevation glazed.
N ELEVATION: broad bands of brick and slim bands of glazing up to halfway; panelled strips to upper part with outbuilding; flume attached to right.
INTERIOR: (seen 2002) Light and spacious entrance conservatory. Large swimming area with 3 glazed elevations maximising admittance of light; white and blue tiled pool; floor and spectator box; 55-yard swimming area (can be divided into 2 pools see NOTES); steps into pool built into pool wall; small toddler and flume pool to side. Communal 'changing village' with open access to pool. Other facilities in centre include sauna, dance studios and gym.
The Dollan Aqua centre is an outstanding and rare example of a mid 20th century public amenity building in striking internationally inspired design. It was the first champion-sized swimming pool in Scotland and was inspired by Pier Luigi Nervi's Olympic complex in Rome; it is also very similar to the Olympic complex built for the 1964 Japanese Olympic Games. This synthesis of international themes sets the Dollan Aqua Centre apart from other British swimming pools of the period. The original design had been even more daring, using huge laminated timber beams, but these had to be substituted for cement because of transportation problems.
Alexander Buchanan Campbell (1914-2007) was articled to Gillespie Kidd and Coia in 1931, and continued a relationship with them, being nominated to the FRIBA in 1955 by Coia. He had a long career, amassing a large body of work almost exclusively in Glasgow and the surrounding areas.
The 1990s renovation of the building did not adversely affect the original exterior and transformed the swimming area into a multi-purpose pool. The original 1960s plan was for a 55-yard pool, a smaller teaching pool and separate changing areas. Faulkner Browns, as a result of the imperial measurements, were able to maximise the potential of the pool area by fitting a hinged plastic boom across it. Thus it can either be used as a training and competition pool or split into two 25m pools: a deeper one for serious swimmers and a shallower leisure pool. Furthermore, a floating floor was fixed so that the depth can be changed to suit varying needs. The old teaching pool was changed into a toddlers' pool and a flume was also added to enhance the appeal of the centre. To save on space the changing facilities became unisex. Another change that was made was the erection of a conservatory under the front buttresses. The immense parabolic arch (98.76m) is both visually striking and structurally audacious.
Further major refurbishment was begun in 2008 and completed in 2011 at a cost of £9 million. It was instigated by necessary structural repairs to the poolside but the wider refurbishment also involved structural repairs to the roof to incorporate insulation and a further external roof layer neither of which have affected the character of the original roof structure. The programme of works also included new internal ceiling to the pool area in the original profile, new boilers, ventilation systems, upgrading the pool system and retiling to the pool and changing areas.
Swimming clubs and bath houses were established in Scotland from the 1850s following the enactment of the 1846 Act to Encourage the Establishment of Public Baths and Wash-houses, which was established to improve general public health with access for all classes of citizen. With the rapid expansion of urban population, often living and working in unsanitary conditions, bath and wash houses were seen as essential public services. The Act, which affected the entirety of Britain, encouraged local authorities to open up these facilities in areas of dense population. While men and women did not mix at these facilities, women would have had their own separate entrance, however they would have to attend at certain times when the male pools were not in use. It would not be until the 1870s when separate ladies pools were being considered in bath and wash house design. These bath and wash houses soon started to cater for recreational swimming rather than washing and became a hugely popular social past time during the 20th century. With the gradual demise of public washhouses and increasing demand for year round swimming, a higher grade of recreational facility was sought, and so by the 1960s local authorities were providing new swimming pool complexes of which the Dollan Aqua Centre is a very fine example.

I don't have a full batrep prepared, but I had a game at a friends house yesterday where my thousand sons finally felt like they were playing the way they're supposed to. Magnus with the +2s/+1a spell did 8 unsaved wounds to a death-hexed knight for 24 damage in one go.
I was confident that he could go toe to toe with that monster but I wasn't expecting that.
EDIT: I should add that we were playing Open War and pulled the twist card that gave EVERYONE +1a, all the time. It was pretty epic.
After our boys got full strength smite, I've been right pleased by the Thousand Sons ability to carry most of their damage on the backs of their psykers rather than needing lots of "real" anti tank. The one thing you do really need is some kind of additional element to provide anti horde firepower and screening. I've had success with a few setups - big horde of tzaangors, big horde of pink horrors, or a small screen of cheapo horrors paired with six Flamers of Tzeentch sitting in deep strike waiting to come down and fwoomf any pesky chaff hordes off the table.
That isn't to say Thousand Sons cant do anti tank decently well if they want to. They arguably have the best Land Raiders of anybody in the game (because they have Prescience, tons of reroll 1s to hit auras, and the -1 to hit power), Defilers are great, Contemptor dreads are solid, Quadlas predators are solid, basically anything shooty you can take and sit in a reroll aura and cast some spells on works good. but you can just take all psykers and go to town.
Interesting. My land raider never quite makes the cut due to how expensive it is, but you're right, there are a lot of force multipliers available for it now.
The problem with land raiders is A) they need a lot of active screening to stay relevant, and B) they hate second turn even more than magnus does. And they also kind of preclude putting magnus in the list because you kind of need all the defensive spells on magnus if you run him. Land raider without -1 to hit is a much easier to kill land raider.
They are however much more synergistic with Thousand Sons specific units if you want to run pure sons instead of sons+daemons. Maggie loves his daemon allies because hes got a squillion powers and has access to the daemon buffing powers like flickering flames and boon of change, which he can use to boost up a big blob of pink horrors that's providing a screen for him. He also likes having a daemon detachment around because Changeling can buff him with a Feel no Pain roll, which he certainly likes to have.
Replacing magnus with a land raider plus a rubric squad rolling inside it lets you fill a similar role (magnus usually rolls out and tries to blow up a big heavy thing, chaos land raider is all about blowing up a big heavy thing) but it lets you run purer thousand sons lists because you can screen with a big cultist blob instead of a big horror blob, and use your Weaver of Fates cast on the cultists (since land raiders rarely need Weaver of Fates, since they get a 5+ save against Lascannons anyway with their 2+ armor).
If you told me "hey, I want to run as close to el classico thousand sons list as possible, while still standing a decent chance in the club" I would tell you to run a battalion with a wingaling daemon prince, magnus on foot +extra sorceror, 10 rubrics with a soulreaper with a Terminator sorceror, min sized cultist unit, max sized cultist unit, Land Raider, and a unit of 10 scarab terminators. That gets you easily to 1750 points, gives you plenty of what Thousand Sons are really good at (smashing things with mortal wounds) good ways to mitigate what thousand sons aren't good at (going second, clearing hordes of cheap crap) and lets you bring units of rubric stuff without feeling like you're gimping yourself. to get to 2k, just add a heldrake, makes a wonderful distraction for your land raider.

Die Lietzenburg ist eine unter Denkmalschutz stehende Jugendstilvilla im Ortsteil Kloster auf der Insel Hiddensee, die der Maler Oskar Kruse in den Jahren 1904/1905 errichten ließ.

Bau und Nutzung
Oskar Kruse (1847–1919), ein mit einem Holzhandel zu einigem Vermögen gelangter Kaufmann, seit 1889 Maler, erwarb in Kloster ein etwa 2,5 Hektar großes Grundstück, um sich an dessen höchster Stelle ein Sommerhaus errichten zu lassen. Aus einem von Kruse ausgeschriebenen Wettbewerb ging das Berliner Architektenbüro Spalding & Grenander als Sieger hervor, das Bauwerk hatten die Architekten "Halt fest" genannt. Alfred Grenander entwarf die Inneneinrichtung, Otto Spalding die Architektur. Der backsteinerne Bau besitzt ein Sockelgeschoss aus einheimischen Findlingen. Vor allem die Inneneinrichtung ist im Jugendstil gehalten.

Das Haus hat 15 Wohn- und Arbeitsräume und einen eigenen Aussichtsturm. Kruse gab dem Anwesen den Namen Lietzenburg in Anlehnung an seine Berliner Wohnadresse (Lietzenburger Straße). Er machte seinen Sommerwohnsitz zu einem beliebten Treffpunkt mit anderen Künstlern und Schriftstellern, die die Natur und die Abgeschiedenheit auf dieser kleinen Ostseeinsel schätzen lernten. Nach dem Tod des Malers erbten der Bruder Max Kruse und seine Ehefrau Käthe (Puppenherstellerin) das Anwesen. Sie setzten die begonnene Tradition fort und hatten unter anderem Max Reinhardt, Gerhart Hauptmann, Thomas Mann, aber auch Wissenschaftler wie Albert Einstein und Gustav Hertz zu Besuch. In den späten 1920er-Jahren verringerte sich das Interesse an den Salons der Kruses: Im Nachbarort Vitte hatte sich um die Berliner Malerin Henni Lehmann eine eigene kleine Künstlerkolonie entwickelt.

Über die Jahre 1933 bis 1949 ist nichts über die Lietzenburg bekannt, sehr wahrscheinlich gab es kaum noch Künstlertreffs und die Kruses verbrachten hier ihre Sommermonate.

Nach 1949 kam die Lietzenburg unter staatliche Verwaltung der DDR, sie diente als Erholungsheim der Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Universität Greifswald. In der Nachbarschaft wurden neue Anwesen von Künstlern wie Gret Palucca und Walter Felsenstein errichtet. Für kurzzeitige Gästebesuche und die Bewirtung gab es die Gaststätte und Pension Dünenhaus, die den Künstlern und Nutzern der Lietzenburg vorbehalten war.

Nach dem Ende der DDR wurde die Lietzenburg in das Eigentum des Sohnes von Max und Käthe Kruse, dem inzwischen als Kinderschriftsteller bekannten Max Kruse, rückübertragen. Dieser nutzte den Gebäudekomplex nicht, sondern bot ihn zum Verkauf an. Nach einem weiteren Eigentümerwechsel wurde die Villa von 2009 bis 2013 denkmalgerecht saniert. Die Arbeiten wurden von einer Dresdner Architektin geleitet. Es entstanden sechs Ferienwohnungen und ein öffentlicher Bereich mit historischer Kamindiele und dem Kruse-Atelier, in dem seit Herbst 2013 wieder Veranstaltungen stattfinden.

" There are many books and websites available to the spouse, parent, or significant other who is in a relationship with a person with BPD. I've read several and visited countless websites. This book, in its methodical and we'll structured message, helped me organize my own thoughts and fears after my wife threatened suicide. I was at the "should I stay or should I go" crossroads I think we all reach at some point and needed guidance, but mostly reasurance of gathering quality information. "
" Excellent tips on communication that work well diffusing conflict with persons with BPD and also persons without any personality disorders. I think I grew a lot through reading and processing this book. "
" Even though I'm not dealing with someone with BPD, there were lots of great examples and reminders for effectively desling with troublesome areas in a relationship. The book was easy to read and offered a number of practical strategies. "
" Not as informative as I would have liked, and something about the apologia-laden tone of it annoyed me. But a readable and potentially useful bit of bibliotherapy for families/friends of people living with BPD. "
" This was a terrifically helpful book at a time when it was most needed. Thought the diagnosis (in our case) was wrong, the ideas and tools provided by the book helped nonetheless in handling the behavioral and emotional issues that were often very similar to those experienced by people with BPD. For those who may be friends or family of people suffering from borderline personality disorder, I can't recommend this book highly enough. "
" Good overview, there is a chapter for parents that provides an outline of issues. "
" if someone in your life has borderline personality disorder, you need this book. "
" I will never forget the acronym FOG, for things a person with borderline personality disorder uses in attempting to control another person's behavior: Fear, Obligation and Guilt. "
" helpful for diagnosis and good ideas for adjusting communication. "
" Good introduction to the disease and methods to work with it. "
" Excellent for therapist to recommend to patients or for your own sanity. "
" I took my life back and stopped reading it. "
" Someone in my life suffers from this disorder, and this is the most helpful book I have found. Very quick read and good to know that you have others to relate to! "
" Umm yeah, I should have read this sooner.. "
" It's always good to know you're not the only one dealing with a BPD person. Just for that alone, I love this book. All the rest of the great info is gravy. "
" Describes borderline personality disorder in an easy-to-read way. "
" Recommended read for anyone suffering with or who knows someone with BDP "
" I think the solutions in the setting limits chapter were really helpful. Great book;) "
" Interesting read, and lots of techniques for dealing with folks who have symptoms of BPD. "
" extremely helpful. I wish I had the information in this book years ago. "
" A good starting point for those unfortunate enough to need information on Borderline Personality Disorder. A very personal and very touching reading experience. "
" I didn't know anything about borderline personality disorder (bpd) before I read this book. It was enlightening "
" Another must-read for parish priests! "
" The "Go To" book for anyone who knows/cares about someone with Borderline Personality Disorder. One of the most difficult disorders for a family member/friend to live with. Highly recommend. "
" Excellent book if you have someone in your life with BPD. I wish I would have read this years ago. "
" my guide through (or to, lol) The Darkness "
" Anyone that has lived with someone with BPD needs to read this! "
" If you know a borderline personality person, you really must read this book. It can change your life and theirs. "
" This book literally has changed the way I look at my mother, my sibling and my interaction with each of them. It has given me a clearer understanding of who they are and who I am because of them. Most importantly, I know now that I have a CHOICE..... "
" A great, oft-talked-about resource for people living with people with BPD. Very useful for understanding that 'special' someone in your life. We all have one. "
" Excellent resource for someone dealing with a person with BPD, it really helps you to understand what the person is going through and enable you to deal with the disorder. "
" So far this seems spot on. Hopefully it will have good resources for dealing with this person while keeping my sanity. "
" This was very helpful in understanding why a past relationship was so difficult to be in. "

Albert Bender And Sought After "Elements" In Earth's Oceans
Aliens, Agendas
We have written on several occasions of sightings of UFOs both emerging and entering various seas and oceans around the planet, and the many claims of some kind of high-tech, alien base, or even a portal to another part of the universe.
However, two cases from the 1950s both speak of extra-terrestrials seeking valuable (to them) elements that reside in the masses of water over the globe – in particular, the strange case of Albert Bender. Not only that, but descriptions of these alien beings have similarities with one of the most controversial claims in UFO circles. Those of Reptilian aliens and their connections to, or even within, world governments. Furthermore are claims of an unknown "inner-world" that exists in the barren icelands of Antarctica.

The Rise And Sudden "Fall" Of Albert Bender
As the UFO phenomenon took hold of the United States in the 1950s, one of the first respected investigators into such matters was Albert Bender, who formed the International Flying Saucer Bureau in Bridgeport (IFSB), Connecticut.
Bender, a serving pilot during the Second World War, had always maintained an interest in all things paranormal. Since being a young man he would write letters to people all over the world, building up relationships with them. He would even have them send items of interest from their locations so that he might build up a collection of mystical and intriguing objects. To say he was a little eccentric would be a kind understatement.
In the mid-1950s Bender made the claim that he had "solved the mystery of UFOs!" However far from revealing this to the rest of the world, he put forward that he was unable to comment any further. In a further twist, he then promptly shut down his research, his publication, and the IFSB.
The story, however, was far from over.
Encounters With The Men In Black
In 1956 further information would surface regarding Bender's claims in the form of the book, "They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers" by Gray Barker. In it, he stated that Bender, suddenly overcome with a feeling of dizziness, witnessed out of nowhere, three men, all dressed in dark suits, were in the apartment with him.
He couldn't see their faces, but where their eyes should have been were two, glowing, red orbs. The "eyes" appeared to flash at him which simultaneously caused an intense pain in his head.
These strange beings – soon referred to as the Men In Black – confirmed to Bender the correctness of his mystery solving. They also informed him of information that, according to Barker, terrified him beyond belief. What this information might have been is unknown, but in 1962, Bender finally relented on his silence.
He would author his own book – "Flying Saucers and the Three Men" – which contained claims so bizarre and outlandish that it only served to alienate him further.
In his book, he claimed that the three men who actually alien beings, whose real appearance "was so monstrous" that they assumed the form of which he (and many others over the years) would see them. He further claimed of journeys to their base in Antarctica, where he would learn more about them, including their home planet, Kazik. They had arrived on Earth in order to extract a valuable element from the sea.
Check out the video below. It features a lecture from Gray Barker in 1956.
Many Criticisms Of Bender's "Wild Claims!"
We should perhaps examine further some of the criticism leveled at Bender. And there was plenty – from inside and outside of the UFO community. And much of that criticism was a result of what Bender had included in the previously mentioned book.
Aside from the wild claims of being abducted by shapeshifting aliens and being taken to the South Pole, Bender also revealed a lot of information about his home life. For example, he would speak extensively about his self-confessed obsession with all manner of things from the occult and science-fiction and horror films.
In fact, he had even converted his part of the house he shared with his stepfather to a shrine to such things which he affectionally labeled the "chamber of horrors". There were fake bats and shrunken heads on the walls, as well as huge paintings of monsters on the walls.
A sketch of the Men In Black visitors by Albert Bender
Given these unintentional admissions combined with the outlandish of the alien abduction claims, many began to wonder if Bender had perhaps manufactured the entire incident. Perhaps he even believed it himself. Or, perhaps everything he said was completely true and accurate.
Another aspect that seemingly increased such suspicions were several predictions offered by Bender that proved to be well wide of the mark. In a similar manner to his prediction of 1953, he would suggest over two decades later in 1976 that 1977 would see disclosure of UFO evidence of documents. As we know, this disclosure did not occur.
A Fantasist Or A Credible And Genuine Abductee?
What should we make of the claims of Albert Bender? Was he nothing more than a fantasist who manufactured a version of events right out of his own mind? Or might it be – however outlandish – that he was being completely truthful all along? And that his account of extraterrestrial shape-shifting Men In Black taking him to the other side of the world is completely authentic and accurate.
The fact is, there are many other such accounts and claims on record. And most are treated with a similarly dismissive attitude. And while it is easy to see why this is, we should perhaps be mindful of the implications should such claims turn out to be true.
For example, is there a shadowy organization operating in hidden in plain sight that we collectively know as the Men In Black? And if so, what is their agenda and end goal? Do they work for the government or do they work alongside the apparent alien entities also visiting the Earth? Or might they even be an entirely separate civilization altogether, working very much for their own purposes and needs?
Albert K Bender
We should also examine, briefly, the claims made to Bender that the alien entities who visited him used "optical illusions" to project their human appearance. This is intriguing as it surfaces in many writings and talks of UFO and alien researchers over the decades. That these shapeshifting aliens don't actually change their appearance physically, they simply force us to see them in a certain way. Might these later claims corroborate those of Bender's.
Whatever the reality of Bender's claims, he remains a discussed and debated person within the UFO community over half a century after he made his first claims of alien interaction. Incidentally, Bender died in 2016 at the age of 94.
The Claims Of Cynthia Appleton
There are some interesting claims made by Bender, not least those of shape-shifting aliens who were monstrous – which we will look at a little later. However, it is perhaps the claims of extracting "elements from the sea" that are perhaps most interesting.
Only a year following Bender's encounter, in November 1957 on the other side of the Atlantic in Birmingham, England, Cynthia Appleton would claim an encounter as bizarre (and chilling) as Bender's.
As she was sitting with her children in her living room, strange figures "materialized" out of nowhere in front of the fireplace. She would describe these beings as "very tall with long, blond hair" and adorning a "bright, silver space suit!" One of them would communicate to Cynthia via telepathy. According to Cynthia, the being would state they were from a world "just like yours that is governed by the Sun!" This last detail, in particular, would lead many researchers to ponder if this might be a suggestion of the being's home lying within our solar system.
Among other things, they informed Cynthia that they were here to extract a valuable element from Earth's oceans – almost the same claim as Albert Bender would make.
Cynthia would claim at least two further visits, during one of which, they informed her she was pregnant and would give birth to a baby boy. She was, and she did! Further to this, on the third meeting in September 1958, according to Cynthia, the being would burn its finger, and after placing it in a bowl of cool water had left behind a small piece of skin. This would go for analysis, and although there was no overall conclusion, the results showing it to be more akin to "animal skin" than human.
Further Intriguing Details From Alien Visitors
One of the most intriguing details offered to Appleton during the subsequent visits were details on the nature of time. According to the notes of Dr. Dale, Appleton was informed that "time did not exist" and it was, in fact, a "philosophical invention by mankind".
We have examined the different ideas of time and what might be. It is perhaps intriguing that such details are offered to a contactee by apparent visitors from out of space.
Appleton was also made privy to information about the importance of understanding vibration and frequency. And of how such an understanding would lead humans to be able to cure diseases such as cancer. Perhaps an indication of her authenticity is the fact that she did not offer any specific details of the exact terms used as she simply "couldn't remember" them.
Cynthia Appleton
Once more, though, it is interesting that such notions of frequency and vibration being of importance in understanding our existence and the universe around is something that has been suggested by many great thinkers. Perhaps most notably, Nikola Tesla, who claimed that an understanding of such things would be the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe.
Those who speak of shapeshifting aliens and the illusion that is put on ourselves so that we see them in a particular form – such as Albert Bender above – also speak of the manipulation of the vibrations and frequency of energies in order to achieve this.
Might these seemingly unimportant details actually corroborate not only the encounters of Appleton and Bender but many other reports around the world?
Why Do "Aliens From Venus" Surface In Many 1950s Alien Reports
We might also take a moment to examine the claims that the aliens themselves hailed from Venus. There were several such claims of visitation by Venusians during the 1950s and 60s. Why might this be? Could it be that there really was a presence on Earth from alien visitors from Venus? While our collective understanding is that Venus is inhabitable, we also know that life high up in the clouds might be possible.
We might also consider that just because these strange visitors claim Venus to be their home, they might not reside there today. For example, might it be that those who could fled the planet many, many years ago when it became uninhabitable? Might this be the reason that many of these encounters with humans involve details about the treatment of the planet and environment? Might these alien visitors, and possible cosmic refugees, know the fate of a planet – which was very similar to Earth millions of years ago – when it is not cared for as nature intended?
A depiction of a typical 1950s UFO encounter
Or might it be a case of people reading a report of someone claiming to have been visited by a person from Venus and then, whether intentionally or not, making similar claims following their own encounter. We know that this kind of copy-cat reaction can certainly occur. However, we might keep in mind that such a sweeping dismissal might blind us to something that is required learning.
Links To The Reptilians And Underwater Bases?
Going back to Bender's claims of the Men In Black really being "monstrous aliens in disguise", not to mention their secret base in Antarctica, is it possible that what Bender had revealed was a link to those in alien and UFO research circles call the Reptilians? Was this the "mystery" of the flying saucers that he had discovered – if only in part?
The claims of glowing eyes have been reported in many modern sightings of reptilian humanoids right up to modern times. And many descriptions of the Men In Black speak of them as being extremely pale and with a "rigid" personality. Looking again at modern reports of reptilians, many (although not all) speak of them being a strange "off-white" color. Author, David Icke, perhaps most famous for his work on the Reptilians and their alleged agenda, also speak of such a race of "Nordic" extra-terrestrials who would interbreed with reptilians in ancient times. Icke also firmly believes that many of the flying saucer UFO sightings are in fact the Reptilians.
Even the claims of the base in Antarctica is of interest given the many claims of such an "inner world" existing. Again there are claims to reptilian aliens inhabiting this frozen world, and more chilling, many governments worldwide knowing of this.
Many ancient writings speak of such an alien race coming from an "aquatic world" in the Sirius star system. Again, many link this to the Reptilian race. The claims of needing "elements from the sea" are of interest. Might this, in part, explain the plethora of UFO sightings at sea? Might this also give a reason for the supposed alien bases that also reside under our oceans?
Check out the video below. It looks at some of the many sightings of UFOs over the planet's waters.

Brother Michael Avila, FSC, Department of Theology and Religious Studies
Ginny Prior
Brother Michael Avila came to the Christian Brothers in a most unconventional way. He likes to say he was "left like Moses—in a basket at the Brothers' door." In reality, his mother asked the Brothers in Berkeley to take two of her three sons in the wake of a difficult divorce. Brother Michael was enrolled in Saint Mary's College High school as a boarder from the 3rd grade through his junior year and was deeply touched by the selflessness of Brothers who taught him.
"It was something I wanted to be a part of, but I doubted I could be a teacher and I wanted to be free." That dichotomy would surface time and again in Brother Michael's life, including twice as a novice at Mont La Salle. A seminal moment, he says, was the night, shortly after arriving, when he snuck down to the Director's office, ready to call it quits. "I went down to make a phone call home, but I was afraid the director's phone would light up and he would see it," he admits.
By 1966, Brother Michael's first year as a scholastic at Saint Mary's College, he was much more at peace with God's plan and recalls that in his first seminar class. "I discovered a man I wanted to model my life after - Socrates." In the Apology, Socrates cited his poverty as proof that he wasn't a teacher. Similarly, Brother Michael, in those early years, doubted that teaching was his strong suit. Yet he went on to get his Bachelor's degree, two Masters and a PhD.
For the last 25 years, until recently, Brother Michael has been the director of the Christian Service Internship class, matching students with service internships in much-needed regions worldwide. It's been a life-changing experience not only for him, but for many of the 800 participants, some of whom have gone on to careers serving the underprivileged. And Brother Michael, himself, has come to a realization. "I want to draw even closer to the God who first called me in my youth, and with whom I've wrestled all my life." Like the prophet Jeremiah, Brother Michael says he feels the fire in his bones.

CONDITIONS FOR REGISTRATION AND SCOPE OF PROTECTION OF NON-CONVENTIONAL TRADE MARKS IN SINGAPORE
The Singapore Trade Marks Act 1998, together with the changes for the definition of a trade mark introduced by the Trade Marks Amendment Act 2004, has expanded significantly the type of signs or indicia eligible for registration. Consequently, trade mark registrations in Singapore, and also elsewhere in the world, are no longer limited to traditional two-dimensional words or graphic signs but are also extended to other non-conventional signs such as shapes, smell, sounds, colours and potentially even moving images. The objective of this article is to examine the conditions for registration and the scope of protection of such non-conventional trademarks in Singapore, particularly in the light of recent significant legal developments in this area of the law in other major jurisdictions.
1 Five years ago on 15 January 1999, the Trade Marks Act 19701 ("the old Act") which had been the governing law in Singapore for almost 30 years, was repealed by Parliament. In its place is a new piece of legislation, the Trade Marks Act 1998 ("the 1998 Act").2 The 1998 Act
encapsulates the latest judicial trends and developments here in Singapore and elsewhere, like the European Union, the UK and Australia. However, with the signing of the United States-Singapore Free Trade Agreement last year, Singapore's laws on trade marks have undergone another historic overhaul on 15 June 2004 this year in the form of the Trade Marks (Amendment) Act 2004 ("the Amendment Act").3
2 The 1998 Act together with the changes to the definition of a trade mark introduced by the Amendment Act have expanded significantly the type of signs or indicia eligible for registration as a trade mark in Singapore. Consequently, trade mark registrations in Singapore, and also elsewhere in the world, are no longer limited to traditional two-dimensional words or graphic signs but are also extended to other non-conventional signs such as shapes, smell, sounds, colours and potentially even moving images. The objective of this paper is to examine the conditions for registration and the scope of protection of such non-conventional trademarks in Singapore. The first part of this paper sets out the laws on registrability of trade marks and the changes that have been made by the Amendment Act. The second part of this paper shall examine the conditions for registration for non-conventional marks and their scope of protection under the laws in Singapore. In particular, the focus of the discussion will be on colour marks, olfactory marks, sound marks and marks involving moving images because several important developments have recently occurred in the US and Europe with regard to the registration and protection of these marks.4 Finally, the paper concludes with a brief assessment of the business implications for traders in Singapore.
II. Registrability of a trade mark under the 1998 Act
A. The meaning of a "trade mark"
3 Currently, the interpretation section of the 1998 Act defines a trade mark to mean "any visually perceptible sign capable of being represented graphically and which is capable of distinguishing goods or services dealt with or provided in the course of trade by a person from goods or services so dealt with or provided by any other person".5 This however has changed. The Amendment Act has removed the requirement for trade marks to be "visually perceptible". With the removal of this requirement, non-conventional indicia or signs like smells,6 gestures or moving images and musical tunes7 will potentially be registrable as trade marks in Singapore. This amendment will in turn bring about the harmonisation of Singapore's trade mark laws with others in the Commonwealth such as the UK8 and Australia.9
4 Therefore, under the Amendment Act, the essential elements of a trade mark shall consist of the following:
(a) Any sign — a "sign" is further defined as "any letter, word, name, signature, numeral, device, brand, heading, label, ticket, shape, colour, aspect of packaging or any combination thereof".10 This definition of what constitutes a "sign" remains unchanged under the Amendment Act.
(b) Capability of being graphically represented.
(c) Capability of distinguishing goods or services.
(d) The goods or services concerned are offered in the course of trade.
B. Criteria for securing registration
5 The 1998 Act does not define what a registrable trade mark in Singapore is. Instead, the 1998 Act lists situations in which a trade mark application shall be refused. Section 7 of the 1998 Act states the "absolute grounds for refusal of registration" of a trade mark in Singapore and s 8 states the "relative grounds for refusal of registration". Section 9 of the 1998 Act deals with the situation of honest concurrent use. Furthermore, the 1998 Act does not contain a list of specific examples of permissible types of trade mark.
(1) Absolute grounds for refusal of registration
6 Section 7 of the 1998 Act states the absolute grounds for refusal of registration.11 Essentially, these absolute grounds of objections relate to the distinctiveness of the mark and any unlawful uses of the mark prohibited by the laws of Singapore. Section 7(1) lists, in a general fashion, the absolute grounds of refusal for registration:
(a) If the sign which is seeking registration does not satisfy the definition of a trade mark as laid down in the 1998 Act.12
(b) If the trade marks seeking registration are devoid of any distinctive character.13
(c) If the trade marks seeking registration consist exclusively of signs or indications which may serve to designate the kind, quality, quantity, intended purpose, value, geographical origin, the time of production of goods or of rendering of services, or other characteristics of goods or services.14
(d) If the trade marks seeking registration consist exclusively of signs or indications which have become customary in the current language or in the bona fide and established practices of the trade.
7 There is an important proviso in s 7(2) which states that a trade mark shall not be refused registration by reason of s 7(1)(b) to (d) if it has in fact acquired a distinctive character as a result of the use made of it, before the date of application for registration.15 Such a mark may be registrable if the applicant can show that it has acquired a distinctive character factually through usage. The crucial point, and probably the most difficult task, is for the applicant to show proof of this factual distinctiveness.
8 Besides the general grounds stated in s 7(1), there are specific instances of absolute objections to the registration of a trade mark. One such instance involves trade marks which consist exclusively of the shape which results from the nature of the goods themselves or which is necessary to obtain a technical result or give substantial value to the goods.16 The 1998 Act therefore excludes three-dimensional signs that would be better suited to registration as either industrial designs or patents from being registrable as trade marks.
9 The other instances of absolute grounds for refusal of registration include trade marks that:
(a) are contrary to public policy or morality,
(b) are deceptive in nature,
(c) the use of which are prohibited by the laws of Singapore, or
(d) where the application for registration is done in bad faith.17
10 Furthermore, a trade mark which contains or consists of a geographical indication in respect of a wine or spirit shall be refused registration if the trade mark is used or intended to be used in relation
to a wine or spirit not originating from the place indicated in the geographical indication.18
11 Lastly, trade marks which consist of national emblems of convention countries or emblems of certain international organisations shall be also be refused registration.19
(2) Relative grounds of refusal for registration
12 The relative grounds of refusal for registration of a trade mark are found in s 8 of the 1998 Act. The wording of s 8 is almost identical to its UK equivalent. Under this section, the issue of whether a trade mark seeking to be registered can be refused registration by the Registrar is dependant on its relationship, if any, with an earlier trade mark. In the first case, if a trade mark is identical with an earlier trade mark and the goods or services for which the trade mark is sought to be registered are also identical with the goods or services for which the earlier trade mark is protected, then registration of such a trade mark shall be refused.20 Secondly, if the trade mark is identical with an earlier trade mark and is to be registered for the goods or services that are similar to those for which the earlier trade mark is registered, or if the trade mark is similar with an earlier trade mark and is to be registered for goods or services that are similar to those for which the earlier trade mark is registered, then such a trade mark shall be refused registration if there exists a likelihood of confusion on the part of the public.21 Thirdly, where the trade mark is identical with or similar to an earlier trade mark and it is to be registered for goods or services which are not similar to those for which the earlier trade mark is protected, then registration of such a trade mark shall be refused if:
(a) the earlier trade mark is well known in Singapore;
(b) the use of the trade mark in the course of trade in Singapore will indicate a connection between the goods or services of the proprietor of the earlier trade mark;
(c) a likelihood of confusion on the part of the public will result from such use of the trade mark; and
(d) the interests of the proprietor of the earlier trade mark are likely to be damaged by such use.22
Lastly, where the use of a trade mark seeking to be registered is liable to be prevented by virtue of laws such as passing off, law of copyright and designs, then registration shall...


YouTube has a weed problem.
Videos and entire channels of cannabis content have been disappearing from YouTube. Often without the usual strikes or warnings. Even long established channels and big names like Jorge Cervantes. While other similar channels, not to mention videos flagrantly in violation of YouTube guidelines mysteriously remained.
People are calling it the YouTube Cannabis Purge.
What social media alternatives do cannabis content creators and businesses have?
And where can folks who just want to talk to each other about the green stuff and learn more about it without censorship go to?
That's what we're going to cover in this article. Read on and find out how cannabis enthusiasts are helping each other out and taking matters into their own hands to provide the kinds of online spaces and services that Facebook, YouTube and the like are increasingly taking away.
6 Where Else Can Growers (and Cannabusinesses) Hang Out Online?
7.1 Don't Totally Discount Advertising on Facebook, Google, Etc.
Back around March/April time, we started to see a lot of articles and tweets about YouTube weed channels being terminated. We also started to notice a lot of the YouTube videos that we often embed in our articles here and on 420 Beginner were no longer available—it seemed a bit more difficult, too, to find videos to replace them or to add to our new articles.
We even came across one article that wondered whether it was Spanish language cannabis videos that were being targeted—the biggest Spanish language cannabis YouTube channel had been suddenly deleted, along with a number of similar smaller channels.
But it soon seemed more likely that it was actually part of a much wider, international purge (although it's not impossible the new/updated algorithm happened to get started on Spanish language YouTube videos first).
It's an algorithm (or bots, or AI or machine learning, whichever term you prefer), primarily, that categorizes content into certain groups advertisers can opt out of and checks for content that violates YouTube's community guidelines.
Normally, if a video is flagged by the system or enough viewers, then it receives a strike. Three strikes within three months and you're out. Channel terminated.
Weed videos getting strikes is not uncommon. But nor is the strike being removed after an appeal and manual review.
Putting your videos behind an age restriction tends to avoid a lot of problems too.
But what has been happening recently is entire channels being terminated without the slightest warning beforehand.
In some cases, an age restriction might have avoided the problem. Some channels deleted didn't have one (and some educational channels arguably had pretty good reason to think they didn't need one).
But mostly the problem seems to have been that the algorithm flagged so many videos all at once that three strikes (or more) got applied to many channels before there was even a chance to react or appeal.
Even channels that had suffered strikes before and thought they'd made sure their channels were now fully compliant with guidelines got deleted.
So what changed with the algorithm—and why? Why the sudden crackdown?
By early 2018, YouTube actually had multiple reasons to update its content moderation.
Or to put it another way, it's been at the center of some pretty big controversies lately! Emphasis on the plural.
From adult content getting onto YouTube Kids to the spread of fake news, extremist content and propaganda. From targeting kids with ads to a popular vlogger filming the body of a suicide victim and that video ending up on YouTube's front page. We could go on.
And of course advertisers whose ads have ended up being served up with any of the content in question—or just risk being served up with it—haven't been too happy either.
The result: YouTube's formerly under-zealous moderating was rapidly amped up to over-zealous instead.
To get advertisers, lawmakers and viewers back on side, YouTube needed to be seen to act—and act pretty quickly. There needed to be a big crackdown on content that violates—or, as it turned out in many cases, merely might violate—YouTube community guidelines. A.k.a content that's not advertiser friendly.
And cannabis content more than likely got caught up in the crossfire. In a somewhat scattergun fashion.
Because cannabis was far from the only area of content affected.
Everything from ASMR videos to conspiracy theories to people talking about sexual identity started to see significant changes in how content was moderated and which videos were eligible for monetization. Again, in an often quite scattergun seeming fashion.
Some YouTubers lost their only source of income overnight.
For many years, content moderation and what does and doesn't count as free speech was somewhat of an afterthought for YouTube. They tried to avoid speaking publicly about their policies; to not be seen as upholding or censoring any particular ideology over another. It was all about just adding more and more content. And increasing the ad views.
But slowly that laissez-faire moderation has been catching up to them.
And in the last six months or more, the pace of YouTube's attempt to rectify it seems to have increased pretty rapidly.
YouTube has admitted, though without going into specifics, that there have been mistakes on what's been flagged and removed. But it's also admitted that there will likely be more to come. Just because improving its moderating is such a huge and complicated task.
Some channels we heard had been deleted seem to have returned (Jorge Cervantes', for instance), while others apparently are still struggling to even get their appeals heard. The YouTube cannabis purge isn't quite over yet.
Another part of the whole problem seems to be that channels are being categorized into some quite broad categories, largely by AI. So that advertisers can then choose to opt out of these categories.
However, that very broad categorization can see totally disparate channels and videos all falling under the same umbrella, or under the wrong umbrella entirely. Even if your channel's still online, or back online, you might no longer be eligible to run ads on it (assuming you were before).
So, given that weed content on YouTube is facing a pretty uncertain future, where else can we go now to watch and upload content about growing or consuming weed?
Vimeo is the obvious YouTube alternative, and many creators have migrated over there. If you take a look, you'll find some great stuff.
But if you're a content creator, it's still a smaller audience and you'll likely need a pro account, which will cost you.
Also, many content creators in categories badly affected by YouTube's clean up mission have signed up with Patreon to allow them to continue to make an income.
However, one of the great things about the cannabis world is that there's quite the DIY spirit running through a lot of it.
And with YouTube no longer a safe haven for videos about weed, it wasn't long before some YouTube weedtubers decided to create their own alternative: TheWeedTube.com.
Crowdfunded in rapid time ($6,500 in two weeks), it was supposed to be launched on the obvious date (4/20).
However, thanks to the massive uncertainty over whether their own YouTube channels would survive the cull and the rapid funding, The Weed Tube founders actually launched a little sooner.
And it seems to have taken off.
While I have to admit I don't find it quite as user friendly as YouTube just yet (I much prefer YouTube's embedding options, for instance; and you'll find some pretty badly mis-tagged videos under the Growing/Gardening category), The Weed Tube already has active content creators and plenty of videos. The ads are all cannabis relevant too, which makes a change.
Whether you're a cannabusiness looking to grow a following, a rec or medical consumer looking for info, or a home grower looking for tips and grow journals, it's worth a look.
Where Else Can Growers (and Cannabusinesses) Hang Out Online?
All the old forums are still out there, of course. Long-time favorites like icmag.com or the 420 Magazine forums, for instance, are still going strong.
But thanks to the multiple difficulties of running a cannabis business on, advertising on, and sometimes even just openly discussing weed on the most popular social media platforms—essentially, you're constantly trying to stay the right side of a line of entirely uncertain size and location—a whole host of promising weed-friendly alternatives have sprung up in recent years.
As with any alternative to the big players in social media, the major difficulty is always going to be in getting enough of the right users on board to reach that tipping point—that point where you need to be on the platform, because everyone else is. (Known in economics as the network effect.) Many a would-be Facebook or "Facebook for [insert niche]" has fallen at that hurdle.
But there are some promising canna-centric alternatives to the big names. Let's take a look at some of the most interesting options.
Smoke Network was born out of many of the problems we've already related and linked to in this article. It's due to launch sometime in the next few months, but you can sign up to try out the demo network right now.
Smoke Network was created to help cannabis users and content producers avoid discrimination on popular social media sites and also allow them to earn off of original content. The platform was created for the cannabis community to allow everyone a free place to share their passion for cannabis and be rewarded for it in the process.
If you've heard of Steem.it, then Smoke Network will be a lot like Steem.it—but for cannabis.
And if you haven't heard of Steem.it, then what we're talking about here is a social media platform for the cannabis community, free from censorship and government interference, where (unlike on Facebook) you actually own all your own data and can make money from it.
Well, it's all built on blockchain technology and a cryptocurrency called SMOKE. Which to those of us who might use it and post content when it fully launches, basically all just means that participants will get paid in cryptocurrency for interacting and receiving likes.
You'll be able to exchange that currency for regular currency, spend it in various ways on the site and with other businesses that accept it.
Blockchain is also the technology that enables the platform to be extremely secure, private and difficult to censor, by making everything totally decentralized.
Long term, the plan is that Smoke Network will further evolve into a strain database, dispensary reviews, grow journals and a tool for peer-to-peer cannabis transactions. An entire, censor-proof cannabis ecosystem. For more details check out the White Paper (PDF).
I've had a little play with the test network, and it all looks very promising.
My one criticism: I'd really like to be able to more easily see whether an item of content is going to be an article, video, photo or short bit of text before I click on it.
But it is a test network, and from what I've read it sounds like that functionality will be firmly in place when the real network is launched.
Mainly because, once you start the signup wizard, you soon discover it's kind of not just one network—you can actually join any one of multiple "instances" of Mastodon. And if marijuana is what you want to talk about, it's hard to know which one to join (more on that shortly).
Instances seem to be separate networks, all running the open source Mastodon technology (or protocol), each centered around particular interests. Different servers, essentially. All of these instances are decentralized, but you can still join in on other instances.
Anyway, I'd highly recommend reading this article on Vice first, before trying to get started. Or this beginner's guide on The Verge.
From there, you'll learn that the main Mastodon instance is mastodon.social. That one may be temporarily closed to new users when you visit, having grown very quickly. However, there are plenty of others, and joining one usually doesn't prevent you from communicating across the others.
And much like Twitter, it's by using hashtags like #cannabis that you'll find relevant "toots" and "tooters" to interact with and follow.
Smoke isn't yet fully launched and Mastodon isn't weed-specific. So here's a selection of the most popular and most promising social networks we could find that are totally centered around cannabis—and that you can use today. You'll find networks here for both weed lovers and cannabusinesses.
Mass Roots is a network focused on product and strain reviews and a dispensary finder. As well as news on the site (if you're a content creator, you may be able to syndicate your articles there), it also has iOS and Android apps. It's also looking to make use of blockchain technology in the near future.
Duby is an anonymous network that allows cannabis users to connect and communicate with each other around the world. It has both iOS and Android apps. Cannabusinesses can advertise on the platform.
A marijuana social network where you can be as anonymous as you like. Includes all the usual kind of social media features like events, groups, chat, blogging and even a 420 marketplace.
A cannabis social network with a strains database and reviews. As well as the usual features, you can also earn Perk$coins, which can be spent on goods and services on the site (if you're a business you can use them to buy ads) or converted into real world currency.
A social network for medical marijuana users.
A social network for cannabis enthusiasts with iOS and Android apps. Has apparently become known as more of a dating site. (If 420 dating apps appeal to you, it's a growing niche. Do a search and you'll find plenty to choose from.) However, the reviews on the Play Store are not great, so I wouldn't expect too much!
A somewhat Facebook like app, with a bit of a local element to it and pretty patchy reviews on the Play Store.
We linked to a Leafly article above, but as well as some great articles it also boasts a dispensary finder and strain directory and smartphone app. It's not exactly social media, but you can review strains and dispensaries.
WeedLife.com calls itself the Facebook of cannabis. And that's pretty accurate. It looks much the same, but with green instead of blue. It's also worth mentioning that this is the consumer social network part of WeedLife Network, a company which also offers a whole raft of different sites and services to the cannabis industry—from marketing tools and advertising to PR and WeedCircles, a cannabis businesses social network.
Another online cannabis business social network, global and modeled more on LinkedIn.
For advertisers wanting to reach an audience of cannabis users or growers there are three main alternatives to AdWords and AdSense that we know of: Mantis, Traffic Roots and 420Network.
For those who don't know already, AdWords is Google's platform for advertisers, while AdSense is used by publishers like us to host those ads (or at least it could be used by us if we didn't talk about cannabis).
Mantis, 420Network and Traffic Roots all broadly mirror that setup. In other words, you can sign up to them as an advertiser and run your ads on lots of different relevant websites, or you can sign up as a publisher and monetize your website by publishing other people's ads.
If you're wondering, the ads you see on this site are from Mantis. It was pretty easy to set up and implement on the site and we feel the ads that get served are relevant to our readers. So, for us, the platform works well so far.
However, we haven't really looked into 420Network or Traffic Roots yet, beyond mentioning them in this article. So if you clicked on those links you know about as much as us now!
Don't Totally Discount Advertising on Facebook, Google, Etc.
Finally, maybe don't entirely give up on Facebook and Google Ads.
Well, firstly, when you click on the ad, the landing page has no mention whatsoever of cannabis—just indoor gardening. And, secondly, it looks like the whole site has been purged of explicit reference to cannabis, marijuana, etc.
So if you can find the right angle, that avoids all clear mentions of cannabis, you might still be able to run ads on Facebook. You have to have a product that gives you that option, though, of course—and know the ad guidelines to the letter and get a bit creative.
Likewise, I know California Lightworks advertises on AdWords.
So, again, if you have a product or service that allows you to avoid explicit mention of cannabis, you might be able to run something (click the link for some tips).
Also worth a look: Leafly's state-by-state guide to cannabis advertising regulations.
Despite the increasing legalization and norml-ization of cannabis worldwide, social media platforms are struggling to adapt their policies to the new landscape.
Admittedly, there are still massive legal and classificatory conflicts and gray areas in the real world, which doesn't help. And moderating huge volumes of content is no easy task. Most of us accept that.
Moreover, some videos were demonstrably in violation of community guidelines. Even if unknowingly and often made with the best of intentions.
However, it's the scattergun, haphazard and above all inconsistent approach to content moderation that many social media and advertising platforms take in relation to cannabis—and the frustrating slowness, unapproachability and unhelpfulness they display when mistakes are made or specific explanations are requested—that has angered and confused cannabis content creators, cannabis enthusiasts and cannabusiness owners.
Fortunately, where the current big players are failing, the cannabis community is increasingly stepping in to fill the void. Social weedia is becoming more than just a pun.
Before writing this article, I knew of a few cannabis social networks and ad platforms—but I've stumbled on a whole lot more. And may well have made work for myself—further researching and signing the site up to a few of them!
We'll add any profile details here. And likely update the article soon with more info and more links.
