The 2020 Election and Cannabis: What To Expect At The Ballot Box
Will the 2020 elections produce a Green Wave or small wake? Nobody knows for sure. Elections are all about who shows up to vote. In the past, state and local cannabis initiatives were often the most buzzworthy issue on the ballot, energizing voters and benefiting Democratic candidates in particular.
But even Republican leader President Trump informally acknowledged cannabis's impact on the vote at an August 2020 rally, suggesting his party should try to keep cannabis legalization off the ballot if they want to win. His statement may prove prescient, given that Arizona and Montana are among six states voting on adult-use cannabis legalization as well as on Senate races that have the potential to help flip U.S. Senate control to Democrats.
Across both political parties, there's a sense that the stakes have never been higher for the future of our country, with control of the Senate, a stalled second coronavirus relief package, and Supreme Court vacancy in play. Racial justice and social equity are also at the forefront of many peoples' minds. How these concerns drive voter turnout and impact this fall's cannabis initiatives remains to be seen. Here's what we do know.
1. Six states will be voting on cannabis in 2020There are six states with cannabis initiatives on the ballot in November. Recent opinion polls on cannabis initiatives are promising, but the 2016 presidential election showed the risk of being overconfident in early numbers.
In the Deep South, Mississippi voters decide between two separate medical initiatives—the citizen-driven Initiative 65 or a more restrictive version developed by the state legislature, Alternative Measure 65. Recent polling shows strong public support for Initiative 65, which would designate 22 qualifying medical marijuana conditions and create an unlimited number of licenses for medical marijuana businesses.
Elsewhere, South Dakota votes on both Amendment A (adult-use) and Initiated Measure 26 (medical) cannabis, making it the first state to put both issues on the same ballot. According to local polling, public support is strong for both medical and adult-use legalization, though opponents suggest that voters may be confusing the two ballot items.
New Jersey, Montana, and Arizona all look to expand legalization to adult-use cannabis after previously approving medical cannabis. In particular, Arizona will be the state to watch since an adult-use initiative was narrowly defeated there in 2016, yet recent polls show substantial support this go-around. Passage of adult-use cannabis in Arizona would also pressure nearby states, including Texas, to start making changes. Once Texas passes something, it's game over. There's no way the federal government could avoid the question of federal legalization at that point.
2. Support for cannabis is higher than its ever been. Young people are more likely to hit the streets demanding change, but older voters more reliably show up when it comes to the ballot box. In the 2016 presidential election, more than half the votes were cast by people over the age of 50, according to Pew Research data.
Previously, an older demographic may have signaled trouble for cannabis legalization. Still, Gallup and Pew Research surveys show overwhelming support across both major political parties and nearly all age groups, including Baby Boomers.
But the 2020 election is anything but ordinary. A sharply divided electorate is focused on the federal government's handling of the economy during the pandemic, as well as issues around police brutality, racial justice, and the future of the Supreme Court following Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's passing.
3. The Supreme Court may affect the vote. There's a chance that Ginsburg's vacancy may impact the election in unexpected ways, energizing a subset of voters who sense an opportunity to lock down a conservative court majority by giving Trump another term. Many of these voters likely identify as evangelical, a group that's more evenly divided on cannabis when compared to most Americans' significant support for legalization.
Will this group of voters turn out in large enough numbers to influence other ballot issues, including legalization in six states? Or will their impact be blunted by turnout from moderate and progressive voters who are fired up by the political maneuvering around the court vacancy? The battle over the Supreme Court is just beginning, and no one can claim to know how it will play out leading up to Election Day.
4. States need revenue and cannabis can help. The ongoing pandemic also weighs heavily on everyone's minds as the U.S. approaches 200,000 COVID-19 deaths. Mask mandates and social distancing restrictions have divided voters, closed many businesses, and moved schools and churches to Zoom earlier this year. But voters mostly agree on the need for a second stimulus, based on a recent Gallup poll.
Despite widespread public support, it's increasingly unlikely we'll see a second stimulus released before November 3 due to partisan gridlock that even the aptly-named bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus has been unable to break through. This lack of federal action could bolster support for state cannabis legalization to provide a much-needed revenue boost at the local level.
5. The Senate may flip.It's easy to get fixated on where the Presidential candidates stand on cannabis. However, President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden aren't the full story regarding potential federal legalization in 2021.
Republicans hold a slim 53-47 majority in the Senate, giving Majority Leader Mitch McConnell control of the agenda. He's used that power to block the SAFE Banking Act from being included in COVID-19 relief and indicated he would oppose the MORE Act. The MORE Act would decriminalize and remove cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act as well as eliminate conflicts between federal and state laws.
McConnell is favored to win re-election this fall, polling comfortably ahead of his Democratic challenger. However, with six other Republican seats considered 'toss-ups' in the November election, including in Arizona and Montana, odds are looking good for the Senate to flip, handing Democrats control.
6. Federal legalization is coming, regardless of election outcomesIf the Senate flips, then both the SAFE Banking Act and MORE Act will likely move forward in 2021, providing a significant victory for states whose legal markets have been constrained by federal prohibition. This legislation would also create an irresistible incentive for Texas and other holdouts to jump into the game.
Even if the Senate doesn't flip, pressure is building on other fronts. In addition to the six states voting to enact or expand legalization this fall, seven other states are planning initiatives in 2021 or 2022. At some point, the federal government will be forced to take up the issue of legalization, regardless of who is in control, with both parties eager to protect and expand tax revenues from an industry that's anticipated to grow to over $130 billion by 2024, according to Marijuana Business Daily.
While the future looks bright for the industry, many challenges lie ahead. The 2020 election may offer some insight into how quickly we'll see federal legalization, but it's only one data point during a year that continues to deliver surprises.

Airy and lightweight – vegan sandals and high-heeled sandals are great for summer. They are the perfect footwear on a hot day and compliment any summer outfit. Whether it's a wedge heel, a small block heel or flats – NOAH has vegan sandals and high-heeled sandals for every outfit and mood. You will definitely find the right shoe for long walks on the beach promenade and an evening date.
Sandals are the oldest form of shoe known to mankind. It used to be just straps to hold the sole under the foot in place, and now they exist in all shapes, colours and styles. What remain are the flat sole, as well as the shoes airiness and levity. Sandals can be worn with shorts, a delicate maxi dress or trendy jumpsuits. NOAH's ankle-high vegan sandal "Noemie" is made from microsuede, giving the shoe a suede look. The model is available in beige and black – two colours that are versatile and effortlessly match any outfit. Elastic inlays, a soft underlaid microsuede inner sole, and flexible outer rubber sole make this sandal especially comfortable to wear. A hinted buckle at the ankle and the straps' dark cutting edges underline "Noemie's" pure lines. Just as pure and elegant is "Serena," a vegan ballerina with strap at the heel. Its pointy toes make this feminine shoe an enchanting alternative to vegan sandals and high-heeled sandals during summer.
Because of its high heel, this shoe is often considered a feminine form of the sandal. Because of its distinctive, small heel, "Gaia" – made from microsuede and available in a warm beige, elegant dark blue and classic black – is very comfortable to wear. The elastic strap at the heel makes the shoe stay in place perfectly. Worn with light fabric trousers, airy skirts or dresses, "Gaia" is fit for the office as well as the garden party. "Florina," made from a beige-coloured, super soft microsuede, is also trendy and comfortable. This high-heeled sandal convinces with its minimalistic design, as with its comfortable five centimetre wedge heel and elastic bits at the heel-strap. If you like it even lighter, take a look at "Francesca," available in a summery sky blue. Just like "Florina," this peep-toe has a comfortable wedge heel. The heel's shape is not just trendy, but a true feel-good experience for your feet. NOAH's vegan high-heeled sandals are second to no classic high heels in terms of elegance, and will carry you flawlessly through summer.
With love and attention to detail – that is how NOAH's vegan sandals and high-heeled sandals are made in manufactories in Italy. It's where the craft of shoemaking that has been perfected over the years meets exclusive vegan materials. For our summer footwear, we use materials with a high percentage of recycled content, such as the suede-like microsuede and nappa-imitation micronappa. We forge the use of animal products during the entire production process, paying attention to sustainability and fairness. It's how we do our part to reduce animal cruelty, protect the environment, and cater to the need for more transparency and social responsibility. Design is just as important: our aspiration is it to consider the environment, animals and human health, while creating high-quality shoes in an Italian design. The "made in Italy" label is our promise to quality and summarises our goal. We want to show that stylish design, sophisticated craftsmanship and true quality can be achieved without using animal leather. NOAH's vegan sandals and high-heeled sandals are not just sustainable, but are produced to a high-quality standard, harmonious in colour and shape, and stylishly elegant.

The Dotted Line
Somebody asked me about autographs the other day. Signatures in books cause two basic questions: "What is it worth?" and "How can I find out if it's real?" The people who ask the second question have their heads pointed in the right direction. You need to answer that before you go after valuer.
The fad sact, as one of my friends calls it, is that there are plenty of fakes out there. Someone recently wrote an article to prove that the first use of a rubber (actually wooden) stamp by a President of the United States who didn't want to sign everything came in 1841. Printing presses have been able to produce printed signatures on books for at least that long. Great Names have used secretaries for millennia. And those are all legitimately phony signatures; we haven't even started on the forgers.
There are some questions to look into before you rent a safe deposit box and put the down payment on that eight-bedroom condo:
1. Was the book printed after the person who supposedly signed it was dead? We've had a paperback Scarlet Letter inscribed by Nathaniel Hawthorne to a man who wasn't born until 1947. I sold that for fifty cents. I won't name names, but there's an online auction site where I haven seen copies of Brian's Song signed by Brian Piccolo and a copy of The Diary of Anne Frank signed by Anne Frank. (That's a pretty good clue: if the person dies IN the book that's signed, that signature is in all probability a phony.)
2. Is the book signed exactly the same on four pages of the book? That's printed on, friend; it's a common sort of decoration. Anyway, no human being can sign a name exactly the same way twice.
3. Does the person have a famous middle initial? Dwight D. Eisenhower very seldom left out that D. (He did once in a while, but your odds are worse without it. Dorothy L. Sayers was similarly fussy. Richard M. Nixon USUALLY used the M, though not always.) The rule can also be applied to short forms of a name. If your book by John F. Kennedy is signed "Jack", there's a chance, but I wouldn't give you much hope is it's signed "Johnnie".
4. Is it signed by a president after 1952? See, not only do Presidents of the United States have secretaries (I had what I thought was an authentic Ronald Reagan, but the folks at the Reagan Library were not only able to prove it was signed by a secretary—they could even tell which secretary it was.), they also have autopens. An autopen is a machine which traces from a signature and reproduced it exactly on another document: often used to sign award certificates and fund-raising letters and so forth. An expert can tell about these things, because, as noted, no one signs her name the same way twice, and an autopen always does an exact facsimile of the original. This does not mean that no President of the United States ever really signed anything personally; it just means you need to take a really close look.
If you get past these questions and still think you have a goodie, there are plenty of websites out there for autograph collectors which will show you what their idrea of a genuine signature for that celebrity looks like. It is up to you to compare yours with theirs (it helps to check a lot of different examples over a period of years; people sign differently at twenty than they do at eighty). In the end, you must either rely on your own opinion or hire an expert to look the autograph over. This is why some dealers offer a signed certificate stating that they were actually standing at the table when the celebrity in question signed the book. So when you buy from them, you have the signed statement of an eyewitness.
If you trust THAT signature.
This question is to prevent automated spam submissions.

Scott Lively Tickled Pink Over Imminent Passage of Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Bill
He's actually behaving like a proud papa:
World Net Daily has just published a major story on Uganda, where President Museveni has publicly repented for the sins of the nation in the model of 2 Chron 7:14 on the 50th anniversary of the country's independence. It also breaks the news that the Ugandan Parliament has dropped the death penalty provision of the Anti-Homosexuality Bill which is now expected to pass into law with overwhelming public support. I am heavily quoted in the article.
Breaking Update. The story has been picked up by Drudge!! and is running in the top spot in the left column.
Here is the article on WND. http://www.wnd.com/2012/11/ugandan-president-repents-of-personal-national-sins/
This is a huge blessing for Uganda and for me personally after having been vilified globally (and falsely) for two years by the leftist media as the accused mastermind of the death penalty provision. Please give this story your best push for maximum exposure. Blessings, Pastor Scott Lively
Drudge!!! And here's Lively on WND:
Lively added that (Uganda President Yoweri) Museveni is definitely drawing a contrast between Uganda and the West.
"This incident is also important as a contrast to the picture being painted of Uganda by the godless left of a backwards, violent and savage culture intent on murdering homosexuals," Lively said.
"On the contrary, Museveni is calmly and confidently setting the course of his nation by the guidance of the Bible, in a way that also shows great courage and resolve," Lively said.
Homosexual activist groups have criticized the government of Uganda and Museveni for passing laws criminalizing homosexual behavior. A current bill before the Ugandan Parliament increases the jail sentences for homosexual acts and includes criminal penalties for those who encourage or promote homosexuality. The bill had included the death penalty for those who commit multiple acts of homosexual behavior, but the provision has been removed, BBC News reports.
Scott Lively speaking at the infamous anti-gay conference in Kampala, Uganda, March 7, 2009.
Lively is best known for his role, reported first here on BTB, as featured speaker at an anti-gay conference held in Kampala in March 2009. During that conference, Lively touted his book, The Pink Swastika, in which he claimed that gays were responsible for founding the Nazi Party and running the gas chambers in the Holocaust. Lively then went on to blame the Rwandan genocide on gay men and he charged that gay people were flooding into Uganda from the West to recruit children into homosexuality via child sexual molestation. Lively would later boast that his March 2009 talk was a "nuclear bomb against the gay agenda in Uganda."
And what a bomb it was. During that same trip, Lively met with several members of Uganda's Parliament. The public panic stoked by the March conference led to follow-up meetings, a march on Parliament, and a massive vigilante campaign waged on radio and the tabloid press. Only two weeks after the conference, rumors were circulating that Parliament was drafting a new law that "will be tough on homosexuals." That new law, in its final form, was introduced into Parliament later in October. Lively eventually disavowed the proposed death penalty, but he really had to struggle with it a while before finally deciding that it was not worth supporting because, after all, its presence might tank the rest of the bill. Otherwise, he said, it was "an encouraging step in the right direction" which "deserve(s) support from Christian believers and other advocates of marriage-based culture around the world."

Lively says "… where President Museveni has publicly repented for the sins of the nation in the model of 2 Chron 7:14…" Well, what he cites is the second part of one sentence spread over 2 Chronicles 7:13-14. "13 When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, 14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land" (New International Version). This is God speaking to Solomon after the completion of the Temple and Solomon's Palace, and He is speaking of His people, Israel. This is Old Testament theology once more being adopted by a Christian to further his vision of morality. It has little to do with Jesus or his teachings, which is to say little to do with true Christianity at all.

Uganda: Arm-band Christian fantasy land of what they want to do to us here in this country if they had their way.
Can't you just feel the love, delivered with every truncheon blow?
Lord_Byron
And this is why I fucking hate religion.
I don't think the leader of one of the most corrupt governments on the planet is capable of repenting for anything. Do they not realize what they're supporting here or are these "Christians" such immoral people that they simply do not care??
If this thing goes through, I guarantee most of the people who suffer from it will be straight. Sure, they'll get whatever gay people they can find too, but I think this is mostly about having a means to eliminate those who are inconvenient to the government and also certain Fundamentalist/Pentecostal preachers who've supported the bill.
Then you hate religion for a foolish reason.
Religion does turn a person evil. It is but a conduit for a person's character to express itself. Lively would be as vile without religion; he'd just use tradition or economics or patriotism or care for a better society as his excuses.
Many of the world's monsters were not religious people and many more paid but token homage to any faith.
Of course some were religious.
But i wonder… We know that some people use religion to justify their hatred to you. Do you think that it could also be that you use people like this to justify hatreds that you may feel to religious people? (I'm not accusing, I'm asking)
I disagree, Timothy. Never has a genocide or a war been fought specifically because a leader or a group did not believe in a god or gods. On the other hand, many, many wars, crusades, pogroms, and genocides have been committed specifically in the name of religion.
On the other hand, I actually do agree with you that those atrocities are, as you say, not committed by religion. I would argue they're committed by people who have been convinced that they are right and everyone else is wrong.
I think you're probably a great person, but I'm with Byron on this one.
"On the other hand, I actually do agree with you that those atrocities are, as you say, not committed by religion. I would argue they're committed by people who have been convinced that they are right and everyone else is wrong."
I would add, "that just speaks to the fact that the people committing the atrocities are atheists in the way that everyone is an atheist: either you believe in a god *to the exclusion of all other gods* or you don't believe in any."
Edwin in Colorado
I can't believe anyone would have that much for people. He can't like himself or excuses for it. I wonder how many gay people are in his family? Not that they would ever come out around him.
I remember Scott lively from his involvement with the OCA ( Oregon Citizens Alliance) here in Oregon years ago. I see he is still as bigoted as ever and spreading more lies wherever he goes.
I wondered about his motives after reading your post and considering his behavior I suspect Mr. Lively may have been molested as a young man. Like so many others who were abused he has turned that self hatred to ward gays based on the mistaken idea that homosexuals are child predators when they are not.
Or maybe he's just an asshole.
AyameTan
I think Lively is physically incapable of moving his mouth in a way such that the truth emerges from it.
Just a Mom
This 'Mr.' Lively sounds like a real winner and like so many of the religious leaders that I grew up with and many that are still around on the radio, tv etc.
While everyone has their right to their views, he, nor anyone else has the right to not only deny rights of another human being, but to go to the next step and try to make laws or in this case, influence laws to take anothers life, just for being alive is really an abomination.
As another poster wrote, there are many in this country that would like the same laws but are not stupid enough to open their mouths. They go right up to the edge then clamp their lips tight after people call them on it. Unfortunately, several are in positions to influence or change laws which scares the heck out of me. And is the reason that I will never stop fighting for rights of LGBT's.
How very Christ-like of Lively, but then again, what would anyone expect from the American taliban? This is a recipe for disaster bordering on a potential genocide. Pitting neighbor against neighbor, disagreements resulting in false charges of "supporting" homosexuality. Can anyone envision the Ungandan version of the Salem Witch Trials? The really disgusting part of this is Lively, Perkins etc. took their anti LBGT agenda to a vulnerable nation because as tolerance and LGBT rights grow in the US they had to find somewhere to peddle their special brand of zealotry.
There is no doubt in my mind that the blood of thousands of innocent people will be on their hands. I think Ghandi put it best when he said: "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."
Priya Lynn
"And is the reason that I will never stop fighting for rights of LGBT's.".
Thanks Mom. ; )
Lively is one sick monster. He seems like the type that should be in a padded room! I hope he enjoys hell. after all thats where people like him go when they worship and promote satans agenda of hatred.
Matthew B. Winkel
This jackass should change his last name to Deadly … he's just another idiot who makes the majority of us Christians look bad (and make people like poor Lord_Byron and DN hate all religion)!
Just sayin':
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/04/09/study-homophobic-people-likely-repressing-homosexual-attraction
What on earth is Scott Lively talking about, that this law somehow negates our image of Uganda as "violent and savage"? How on earth would you nonviolently execute someone?
I'm glad Uganda's president and Scott Lively are "calmly" urging the wanton slaughter of a bunch of innocent people who didn't do a damn thing to hurt anybody (and memo to bigots: heterosexual HIV/AIDS transmission affects far more Africans than homosexual transmission).
But it doesn't matter if the executioners put on Boccherini's String Quintet in E Major and ask each other for Grey Poupon while they murder gay people. There is nothing genteel, civilized, or cultured about any of this. It _is_ violent and savage. And so are you, Scott Lively. It's about taking people's lives.
(For clarification, of course, this shouldn't reflect on Ugandans generally, unless there are more Ugandan gay-bashers than American ones. Scott Lively is, of course, from America, so…)

MOSCOW, Aug 14, 2001 -- (RFE/RL) The Chinese government has asked Moscow to suspend the activities of Russian followers of the Chinese [group] Falun Gong, which has been banned by Beijing, ITAR-TASS reported on 10 August.
The Chinese government also requested that the Russian government prevent Falun Gong's members from holding a planned press conference in Moscow.
In a letter handed over by the Chinese military attache in Moscow to the Russian Interior Ministry, the Chinese side expressed its appreciation for that ministry's efforts to combat "religious sects of extremist nature."

Sigh. Go Titans . . . .
I'm so happy I picked the Titans for my team. Yeah, that was a good call.
About a week after I made my big announcement here in which I was giddy with excitement over having a team to call my own, my friend Billie asked if I wanted to go to a Titans' game. She had tickets and parking passes and a bottle of wine for tailgating. Being a rabid fan and all, I said yes.
That was the weekend we played the Bears. Did any of you see that game? What an embarrassment that was. It was just pure humiliation. I'm pretty sure that every time the Bears trotted out their defense, we gave them the ball and they scored. Our first two points of the game were awarded because of a mistake made BY THE OTHER TEAM. I'll say this, the Titans have pretty colors. That's something. I picked something pretty, right?
Billie and I spent the entire game sitting four rows back from the end zone and in a sea of Bears fans. There were four people to the right of us wearing Titan's colors and literally ever other person around us wore orange and navy and had a beer in hand. The whole stadium was like that. Those are some dedicated fans right there.
Over and over again, every time the Titans did something stupid, Billie and I would slump lower in our seats. When we initially arrived we were proud of our sweatshirts and jerseys but by the 90th Bears' touchdown, we were practically sitting on the concrete floor under our seats and couldn't find enough material to cover anything we had on identifying us as a Titan. And also after the 90th touchdown, Billie and I just started telling everyone around us, "It's our Southern hospitality. We let you win. Plus, we brought the cheerleaders. You're welcome." And the Bears seemed truly grateful for that.
So about the Bears' fans . . . . will anyone shoot me if I say they were nice? They really were. Some of the nicest people I've ever met sat next to us. The men who were so complimentary of our cheerleaders were also complimentary of Billie and me. They liked our hair and our voices and our niceness. I asked a few of them where the Chicago hot guys were, you know, the ones they were supposed to bring in trade for our cheerleaders. Their response: "We are from Chicago. We look like sausages. We eat well." Noted.
And proven. Those same guys invited Billie and me to their after game celebration tailgate party. A group of them rented an RV, loaded it up with food and booze and drove down here for the weekend and so they had parties every night. One of the guys owns a chain of restaurants in Chicago and brought one of his giant logs of gyro meat and the thingamabob you cook it on. They had sausages of every sort. They had chips and pretzels and caramel corn and beer and liquor and some more beer and sausages. Their one nod to good health was the tub of raw onions they had for the sandwiches and the lone tomato they picked up somewhere along the way.
The group of them invented a sandwich for this road trip, called the Road Trip 2012 Man Sandwich Gyro Griller or some such nonsense. I called it a Heart Attack on a Bun. The sandwich started with a buttered grilled hoagie bun which was topped with at least one grilled sausage split in half lengthwise. Into the sausage was layered an extraordinary amount of shaved gyro meat. It was then topped with raw onion, a tomato, and more tzatziki sauce than can be good for you. Good luck trying to eat that. I did try it, minus the onion naturally, and after a few bites felt a little tight in my chest so I tossed the rest. Oof.
Those guys were a lot of fun. They were perfect gentlemen, too, which was a nice change. Not every man who plies you with tasty beverages and food and then cleans up after you, actually washing dishes and taking out the trash, has noble intentions. At least not in my experience. We made no promises to keep in touch but after reading the news the following week, I sort of wish we had. I think those guys would be inordinately proud to know that not only did the Chicago fans drink the stadium dry that day, they also wiped out nearly every bar downtown of beer. Unheard of.
Chicago Bears – beer drinkers, sausage cookers, football players. What an experience. By the way, I'm still a loyal fan of my team. I just wish I'd get the chance to attend a game in which I don't leave in utter humiliation. Sigh.
That sandwich needs sauerkraut! Yum! That sounds like good hangover food!
Sorry Baby Girl, I know you picked the Titans and I thought I might pull for them this afternoon, but even though Peyton is gone, I found myself loving Mathis, Betha and Freeny…..not to mention the great Reggie Wayne….still a soft spot for the Colts. I cheered them on to another win.

A few of us who live in the Winchester Road properties started a vegetable garden in the raised beds that are on the property in early 2013. It's been a really fun and rewarding experience, so we're planning on continuing with it over the winter and in the coming year. If you'd like to get involved and earn a share in the fruits (and vegetables) of our collective labour, get in touch with the MCR Environmental Rep.
Worth bearing in mind, too, is that the 8-10 Winchester/57-59 Banbury Road shared garden has about four apple trees, a pear tree and a walnut tree. Stop by in autumn when the fruit's all ripe!

Not a day seems to go by without the American media writing about Russia's Internet meddling in the US elections. Major international and specialist publications headquartered in the US are routinely regurgitating the myth about "Russian trolls" and "GRU hackers" without a single shred of evidence besides unsubstantiated accusations. Actually, evidence has been provided by a private company, but this evidence points to the contrary. As one Google project so convincingly shows, for example, for just $100 you can create the illusion that a Russian company is trying to influence public opinion within America. All you need to do is buy a mobile phone and a few SIM cards in Panama, choose a common Russian name and surname and use it to set up a Yandex account, then indicate your IP address is in Saint Petersburg using NordVPN. You can then set up an account with AdWords, pay for advertising using the details of a legally registered company, and place political content on the Internet that could be regarded as inflammatory. This was what was done by US citizens from Google and they didn't hesitate to report on it. So what is stopping the NSA, the CIA, or some Russophobe fanatics familiar with hacking techniques from doing exactly the same thing, regardless of whether they belong to a political party or not? Common sense suggests that this is exactly what is being done to create the appearance of Russian interference, but no one is able to provide any real evidence, of course.
Videos typically have more impact on an audience because it is believed that they are harder to fake than photographs. They also look more convincing than a text read out on behalf of a politician. This is no problem for modern technologies, however. In April 2018, a video was made public called ObamaPeele after the people involved. The video showed Barak Obama giving a rather strange speech, but the text was actually being read by an unseen actor. A special programme had processed what the actor was saying in such a way that Obama's facial gestures were fully consistent with what was being said. Computer technology experts at Washington University conducted a similar experiment with a Barack Obama speech in 2017 and made the results publicly available with a detailed description of how it works.

An oppurtunity to learn Ruby on Rails. Use a Twitter library to fetch tweets with the hashtag #nowplaying.

Present the user with an interface with exactly one button: Play

Parse Twitters results and fetch songs from youtube (embedded player, ajax/iframe)

User clicks play, the #nowplaying radio begins.

Ideas for later: add features such as result narrowing, sharing etc.

# Update:

I actually coded this during the day and got some insight into Rails. The coding part was actually quite easy, taking into account that I'd never met Ruby before, but the real obstacle was deployment.

Heroku is awesome, really, but the beginner - I - failed miserably with dependencies (twitter and youtube gems). Long story short, 2 hours of messing with git, Gemfile and bundle and I gave up. The app works, but only in localhost. Maybe I'll get help later.

Samsung sends out press invites for the Galaxy Note 8 launch event
By Mayank Last updated Jul 18, 2019
Image source: androidhits.com
Finally, Samsung is sending out media invites for the launch event of Galaxy Note 8. As expected, the new Galaxy Note 8 is coming on August 23. The event has been scheduled for August 23 in New York City. The invite card hints a 2:1 Infinity Display, so it might have a similar display of the Galaxy S8. Also, in the invite card, Samsung says: "Do Bigger Things."
We have seen a lot of rumors suggesting a giant screen for the Galaxy Note 8. But this invite makes all of them wrong. Everyone was expecting that the fans won't love the Note 8 because of the mishap with Note 7. But surprisingly, Samsung fans are extremely excited about the launch of new Galaxy Note 8. Also, the record breaking sales of the Galaxy S8 has proved it. So it is doubtless thing that Samsung will conquer the market with new Galaxy Note 8.
As per the rumors, the upcoming Galaxy Note 8 will have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 or Exynos 8895 chipset. It is expected to come with a 4GB of RAM. It is almost confirmed that the phone is waterproof and dust proof. Unlike the S8's glass back panel, Note 8 will have a metal unibody. Also, the new Galaxy Note 8 may have a dual camera setup on the rear side. We have seen a lot of leaks and rumors based on the dual camera setup on the Galaxy Note 8. So it is one of the most confirmed leaks of Note 8.
What do you think about the upcoming Galaxy Note 8? Share your thoughts with us in the comment section.

Recruiting employees through the web is a valuable approach for your business, particularly when targeting potential recruits rather than waiting for them to come to you.
It's nowhere near as difficult as you might think either; simply putting aside that extra half an hour to tweak your website, tweet as your business and headhunt through professional networks can make a huge difference to the efficiency of the whole recruitment process.
This was the topic covered by Blue Wren at the latest Hoppers Business Network meet-up which took place on Thursday 19th February and was attended by more than 50 local businesses.
Following on from short talks by Harrison Drury solicitors John Chesworth and Roger Spence covering employee engagement and the new rules on Shared Parental Leave respectively, Michael Lough from Blue Wren outlined the importance of listing jobs on business websites and utilising existing social assets to target those best suited to the advertised role being.
So what are the key points in using the web as a recruitment tool?
Incorporating Google Analytics tracking onto your website will allow you to track visits to the job page and the most effective tools for generating that traffic; whether through a search engine or social media.
This leads on nicely to the next two points – using social networks Twitter and LinkedIn to promote the role and drive traffic to your website.
Tweeting a job vacancy and making it appealing can be quite challenging when you only have 140 characters to work with, especially when also including a necessary link back to the vacancy on your website.
Therefore, identify what keywords the tweet will need such as the role and location and vary your use of hashtags and the wording from tweet to tweet to expand your outreach and visibility. In terms of getting in that all important link back to your website, use Bitly to shorten links and allow yourself more space to focus on keywords.
LinkedIn can also work in reverse if you make the most of the advanced search tool. Filter by location, keywords and connections to find those best suited to available positions which is particularly useful if you're in a group alongside others from the same industry.
You can also post any vacancies on your LinkedIn company page and then 'pinning it to the top' means it will always be the first thing a visitor sees when they view your page. As before, always include a link back to your website.
This hopefully puts you on the right path towards recruitment success.
Blue Wren will be speaking and sharing helpful digital marketing tips at future Hoppers Business Network events, the next of which is the Budget Breakfast meeting on 20th March from 8am to 10am. In the meantime, if you need any help with your website, marketing strategies or social media, get in touch today at hello@bluewren.co.uk or tweet us @BlueWrenUK.

Instruments: Vocals, Leader, Keyboards, Composer, Arranger, Piano
The driving force behind "Neo Geo" - a cutting-edge fusion combining Asian and Western classical music with other global textures and rhythms - pioneering electronic composer Ryuichi Sakamoto was among the most innovative artists to emerge during the 1980s. Born January 17, 1952 in Tokyo, he took up piano at the age of three, and regularly performed in jazz bands while in high school. Sakamoto's catholic musical tastes exposed him to everyone from the Beatles to Beethoven and John Cage, and he was also heavily influenced by avant-garde filmmaking; he went on to study electronic music at Tokyo's University of Art, and after graduating formed the techno-pop trio Yellow Magic Orchestra. Informed by the robotic iconography of Kraftwerk, the YMO became massive stars in their native Japan; their 1980 single "Computer Game (Theme from 'The Invaders')" even reached the Top 20 in Britain.
While still in the Yellow Magic Orchestra, Sakamoto also issued his first solo effort, 1978's Thousand Knives of Asia; two years later he returned with B-2 Unit, and the vast differences between the two discs gave a clear indication of the mercurial eclecticism which would define the remainder of his work. After the YMO's 1983 breakup, Sakamoto pursued his solo career full-time, achieving his artistic and commercial breakthrough that same year with his acclaimed score to the film Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence (in which he also acted). The soundtrack also marked one of several collaborations between Sakamoto and David Sylvian, just of one his many intriguing musical unions; other performers with whom he worked included Thomas Dolby (on 1986's Illustrated Musical Encyclopedia), Iggy Pop, Bootsy Collins and Tony Williams (on 1988's Neo Geo), and David Byrne, with whom he co-wrote the Academy Award-winning score to the 1987 film The Last Emperor.
Other works of note include the score to Pedro Almadovar's High Heels and 1990's Beauty, Sakamoto's English-language debut, which featured cameos from Brian Wilson and Robbie Robertson. In 1993, he joined a reunited Yellow Magic Orchestra to record the LP Technodon, and in 1998 returned with Discord, his first work of classical music. Pre Life in Progress followed a year later, as did The Complete Index of Gut. Sakamoto remained a prolific force in the next decade as well, issuing Intimate in early 1999.

Five suspects charged over Kenya university massacre
Defendants plead not guilty in Nairobi court and claim they were tortured by police for 10 days to force confessions.
The prosecution alleges that the five suspects colluded to carry out the attack but have not said what their roles were [Reuters]
Kenyan police have charged five men in connection with the attack by the armed group al-Shabab on a university in eastern Kenya in April in which 148 people were killed.
The five men pleaded not guilty to 152 counts of committing acts of terrorism in a Nairobi court on Thursday.
Four al-Shabab gunmen stormed the Garissa University College at dawn on April 2. The attack went on for hours before it was finally ended by a specialised police unit and the four men were killed.
The prosecution alleges that the five suspects colluded to carry out the attack, but have not said what their roles were.
Inside the compound where the Garissa massacre took place
Prosecutor Daniel Karuri urged the court to deny the suspects bail.
Magistrate Daniel Ochenja directed that they be imprisoned until June 11, when the court will determine whether they will be granted bail.
The five suspects complained they were tortured for 10 consecutive days as anti-terrorism police tried to force confessions from them.
Speaking through an interpreter, the four Somalis and a Tanzanian claimed their heads were forced into buckets full of water, and that they were electrocuted and whipped after they denied involvement in the attack.
Al-Shabab has vowed to carry out attacks against Kenya for sending its troops to Somalia to fight the armed group.
Kenya has experienced a wave of explosive and gun attacks since October 2011 when its troops went into Somalia.

Letter from Austin E. Grigg to William A. Brown
Funds and scholarships
Minority college students--Recruiting
University of Richmond dean, Austin E. Grigg, wrote this letter to the principal of Carver High School, Mr. William A. Brown, to inform him that the University of Richmond now offers financial aid under all Federal Funding programs. In the letter, Grigg encourages Mr. Brown to share this information with their top students to entice them to apply. Grigg also mentions the criteria University of Richmond requires in its applicants including a "B" average for high school work, two years of foreign language classes, three years of math classes, one year of science that includes a laboratory component, one year of American history, four years of English classes, College Board achievement tests, and three other achievement tests. Finally, Grigg expresses how he does not want a financial barrier to impeded a student's decision to apply to the University of Richmond.

Q: maven project with jetty-maven-plugin and cdi not working I have a maven project with dependencies for javaee7 jsf2.2 and cdi and jetty-maven-plugin.
The project works fine except for cdi. I cant figure out what configuration files are need and where to put them. The only example projects for this i could find where with jetty6 and jsf2.0 and even those would not work.

Any help, or a working example project would be greatly appreciated.
Edit:
i have updated my files as described in this post: stackoverflow answer
you can see the new file structure above.
Now i get the following error message:
INFO: WELD-000101: Transactional services not available. Injection of @Inject UserTransaction not available. Transactional observers will be invoked synchronously.
2014-07-21 09:15:40.682:WARN:oejuc.AbstractLifeCycle:main: FAILED org.eclipse.jetty.annotations.ServletContainerInitializersStarter@3278af54: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/catalina/core/ApplicationContextFacade

I looked this error up and found that the missing class def is part of tomcat, which im not using.
a working example project would be really appreciated.
Edit2:
here is a github repository of my project.
github maven jetty cdi repo

A: Will be fixed in WELD 2.2.5.Final
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WELD-1710

A: The error is caused by the combination of weld and the newest jetty. I changed jetty to 9.1.5 and everything works fine now. Thanks for all your suggestions.

The absolute best place to watch a game, play a game and hang with new and old friends in Portland. Happy hour, always a nightly special and THE place for good times in the Old Port for the last 15 years. You haven't lived until you've had some Fore Play.


WitsView, a division of TrendForce, reports that the large-sized panels witnessed slashed demand in the first quarter with decreased panel shipment by area, but the oversupply was eased in 2Q18 as the demand recovered and the supply (glass output by area) dropped. In the third quarter, the enhanced stocking-up demand in a peak season has reversed the over-supply trend. However, WitsView reports higher risks of panel price decline in 4Q18, for the end demand may gradually slide in the upcoming quarter while panel makers keep on targeting full utilization rates.
Iris Hu, a research manager of WitsView, points out that monitor panel's demand grew from the second quarter because brands expanded their product lines of the borderless and the gaming (e-sports). Regarding laptop panels, brands steadily had their orders be fulfilled ahead of time due to the tight supply of driver ICs. As for TV panels, panel makers offered special deal price to stimulate rising demand. On a whole, in the second quarter, panel demand by area was larger than previous prediction. On the supply end, panel supply by area was smaller than expected because of two reasons below. First, Samsung Display (SDC) conducted annual maintenance for its Fab L7-2 and L8 in April. Next, BOE's Gen. 10.5 fab began to slow down input momentum in the mid second quarter. Thus, panel supply by area in second quarter was smaller than expected. Reasons above made panel glut ratio considerably shrink from previous prediction (7.4%) to 3.5% in the second quarter.
In the third quarter, the peak season is time for promotional campaigns. All application categories' stocking-up momentum has been strengthened. Panel demand by area is estimated to rise 10.6% QoQ. In particular, monitor brands continue increasing their demand for borderless and gaming (e-sports) products. For laptop brands, their launches of new products have been delayed due to tight supply of driver IC and postponed delivery of Intel CPU. However, because of the traditional peak season, laptop panel's stocking-up demand is still expected to reach a certain extent. When it comes to TV panel demand, because of rising stocking-up momentum in the peak season and increasing panel price in July, brands became more aggressive to procure. In terms of supply, BOE and CEC Group's three new fabs proactively expand their capacities. Hence, in the third quarter, supply by area rise by 5.2% QoQ. Since the total demand grows faster than the total supply, in the third quarter, glut ratio shrinks to negative 1.6%.
A fourth quarter is a duration of year-end inventory control. In 4Q17, because of promotional campaigns on November 11 and the holiday season at the year-end of Europe and USA, demand in 4Q17 was lasted from 3Q17. In contrast, in 4Q18, panel demand of the top four application categories is predicted to gradually drop, considering the strong procurement momentum from 1Q18 to 3Q18. This is an indirect reason why demand by area is expected to decline 3.5% QoQ. By contrast, on the supply end, three new fabs in China will continue to move toward their full-utilization-rate BPs for the year 2018, in order to get governmental subsidies. Thus, supply by area might grow 2.3% QoQ in 4Q18. The glut ratio in the fourth quarter, thus, will enlarge to 4.3%, and further lead to a possible reverse in panel price trend.
WitsView points out, this year on the supply end, BOE and three new fabs in the CEC Group have reached mass production phases. Another four of the industry's existing fabs are still expanding capacities. (One of them is AUO's Gen. 8.5 fab in Houli. Other three fabs are from Chinese panel makers.) In 2018, panel supply by area is predicted to grow by 7.4%, reaching 201.5 million square meters. This is the year whose growth rate is highest since the year 2013.
On the demand side, in 2018, FIFA World Cup raised the demand of TV panels. Besides, products' specification upgrades and the rising e-sports demand increased the demand for PC panels. Moreover, in the first half of 2018, panel makers offered friendly prices for panels. Due to the above reasons, large-sized panel demand by area for 2018 will grow 8.6% YoY, coming to 196.9 million square meters. In this way, the annual glut ratio will shrink from previous prediction (5.5%) to 2.4%.
With the experiences in customer service and business divisions of panel makers, Iris Hu was directly involved in business development and the application of new products. Benefitting from the solid knowledge and detailed information on demand and supply, panel prices, and new products, she provides profound analysis on panel capacity changes and product strategies.


South African Depression and Anxiety Group Fight-or-Flight Response: Why Is It Important?
Fight-or-Flight Response: Why Is It Important?
By Kendra Cherry - Reviewed by a board-certified physician.
The term 'fight-or-flight' represents the choices that our ancient ancestors had when faced with a danger in their environment.
They could either fight or flee. In either case, the physiological and psychological response to stress prepares the body to react to the danger.
The fight-or-flight response was first described in the 1920s by American physiologist Walter Cannon. Cannon realized that a chain of rapidly occurring reactions inside the body helped to mobilize the body's resources to deal with threatening circumstances. Today the fight-or-flight response is recognized as part of the first stage of Hans Selye's general adaptation syndrome, a theory describing the stress response.
What Happens During the Fight-or-Flight Response?
In response to acute stress, the body's sympathetic nervous system is activated due to the sudden release of hormones. The sympathetic nervous systems stimulate the adrenal glands triggering the release of catecholamines, which include adrenaline and noradrenaline. This results in an increase in heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate.
After the threat is gone, it takes between 20 to 60 minutes for the body to return to its pre-arousal levels.
You can probably think of a time when you experienced the fight-or-flight response. In the face of something frightening, your heart beat quickened, you begin breathing faster, and your entire body becomes tense and ready to take action.
This response can happen in the face of an imminent physical danger (such as encountering a growling dog during your morning jog) or as a result of a more psychological threat (such as preparing to give a big presentation at school or work).
Rapid Heart Beat and Breathing: The body increases heart beat and respiration rate in order to provide the energy and oxygen to the body that will be needed to fuel a rapid response to the danger.
Pale or Flushed Skin: As the stress response starts to take hold, blood flow to the surface areas of the body is reduced and flow to the muscles, brain, legs, and arms are increased. You might become pale as a result, or your face may alternate between pale and flushed as blood rushes to your head and brain. The body's blood clotting ability also increases in order to prevent excess blood loss in the event of injury.
Dilated Pupils: The body also prepares itself to be more aware and observant of the surroundings during times of danger. Another common symptom of the fight-or-flight response is the dilation of the pupils, which allows more light into the eyes and results in better vision of the surroundings.
Trembling: In the face of stress or danger, you muscles become tense and primed for action. This tension can result in trembling or shaking.
Why Is the Fight-or-Flight Response Important?
The fight-or-flight response plays a critical role in how we deal with stress and danger in our environment. Essentially, the response prepares the body to either fight or flee the threat. It is also important to note that the response can be triggered due to both real and imaginary threats.
By priming your body for action, you are better prepared to perform under pressure. The stress created by the situation can actually be helpful, making it more likely that you will cope effectively with the threat.
This type of stress can help you perform better in situations where you are under pressure to do well, such as at work or school. In cases where the threat is life threatening, the fight-or-flight response can actually play a critical role in your survival. By gearing you up to fight or flee, the fight-or-flight response makes it more likely that you will survive the danger.
One thing to remember is that while the fight-or-flight response happens automatically, that does not mean that it is always accurate. Sometimes we respond in this way even when there is no real threat.
Phobias are good examples of how the fight-or-flight response might be triggered in the face of a perceived threat. A person who is terrified of heights might begin to experience the acute stress response when he has to go the top floor of a skyscraper to attend a meeting. His body might go on high alert as his heart beat and respiration rate increase. When this response becomes severe, it may even lead to a panic attack.
Understanding the body's natural fight-or-flight response is one way to help cope with such situations. When you notice that you are becoming tense, you can start looking for ways to calm down and relax your body.
The stress response is one of the major topics studied in the rapidly-growing field of health psychology. Health psychologists are interested in helping people find ways to combat stress and live healthier, more productive lives. By learning more about the fight-or-flight response, psychologists can help people explore new ways to deal with their natural reaction to stress.

We have had a fun week here in the Valley. Yesterday the HS hosted the annual PV Special Olympics. It was a beautiful day and our students had a great time.
Don't forget we don't have school Monday as it is Memorial Day. Take some time to remember those who died while serving our country.
At least one parent has contacted me about reinstating the HS Home and School beginning next year. I am hoping that more of you are interested in participating. Please let me know if you are interested in helping with this endeavor. I am hoping to have a meeting early this summer to further discuss this.
The last day to make ANY changes to next year's requested courses is June 30th. After that date the requests are final and students will be expected to remain in those courses for the entire 18-19 school year. Please sit with your student to discuss their requested courses now and contact your student's counselor to make any changes. We will only make changes to schedules if there is a mistake.
A bus waiver form must be completed and turned into the main office no later than June 13th if a student is currently assigned to a bus yet wishes to waive the bus seat next year. In exchange for waiving a seat on the bus next year the district will discount the parking permit rate. This option is not available after June 13th, so if you are interested in waiving the bus seat please fill out the application today and return it to Mrs. George.
The parking application must be completed in its entirety and returned to Mrs. George in the main office. On the application you must indicate whether you have applied for a bus waiver and if you will be paying for the permit with cash or check made out to PVHS or pay by credit card through HAC. If you choose to pay through HAC you cannot submit the payment until we have received your application and a bill has been generated for you in HAC (I expect that to occur within 48 hours of the application being submitted). We are now able to take check, debit card or credit cards to make payments on HAC. Please see below for more information.
You will also need to supply a copy of the student's valid driver's license and current insurance card with the application. Parking permits will not be assigned and distributed until sometime in August. I will send out the exact times and dates for permit pick up over the summer.
We will accept parking applications until we have sold out of parking spots. Unfortunately we only have approximately 300 spots for students and last year we were sold out by November.

Typically there are 9 diagrams on every page. Each problem diagram has 2 solutions or 1 solution and 1 failure next to it. The answers are well chosen and respresentative. The index may be misused as a problem book.
The not specified difficulty ranges from 10 kyu to 6 dan. Most problems are 5 kyu to 3 dan. Each chapter has increasingly interesting problems. All problems are well known from various other sources. However, the scope of different shapes (like block), methods (like atari), and functions (like press) is exceptional. Also the selection of problems is broad and representative. They cover everything from basic knowledge to advanced knowledge. The book leaves out beginner problems and most difficult problems. By dans most presented problems can be solved within seconds or minutes. For solving one needs creativity to cope with unexpected and varying features, although the tesuji classification greatly eases accessability.
Normal problem books do not have the answers next to the problems and are cheaper per problem while having similar contents. If you just look for many problems, then you should prefer problem books for your desired level and difficulty. The tesuji encyclopedia is exactly what its name suggests. Every usual and unusual tesuji more or less regularly occurring in professional play is treated. As a simple reference work the book might be too expensive. You should buy the book if you want to have an ultimate source for broad and extensive study. You might decide to wait several years (decades?) until a database might be offered with even much better reference and sorting tools. If you are looking for exceptional difficulty, then stick to the classics instead.
You should consider shipping/handling and import taxes as well as money transfer fees. If you have a friend who gets a 20% reduction in the Nihon Kiin shop, then you might get the book a little cheaper. Waiting for good money exchange rates might be a good idea. If you have enough money to sponsor the well known retailer, then you can also get the encyclopedia at once for $380 (around twice the original price).
Many thanks to the kind person of delivery!

A 7-Year-Old Girl Suffering From Vitiligo Experienced Complete Repigmentation With Homeopathy
A 7-year-old girl, Miss. A.L. (PIN: 27460) came to Life Force with the complaints of Vitiligo on 12th December 2015. She was suffering from vitiligo since 2013. She had Vitiligo spots on her back and right side of the chest as well. The approximate size of the spots on the back was around 2 cm and that of those on the chest was less than 1 cm. Her spots were increasing gradually. She had taken conventional medicines but experienced no change in her Vitiligo spots. There was no genetic link of Vitiligo present in her case. According to the parents of the patient, the spots had developed after she had suffered from a high-grade fever. Placentrex gel and Pacroma ointment were applied to the spots with no results.
She lived with her mother and father, who is a software engineer in OSI technologies, Hyderabad.
Her mother suffered from Hypothyroidism. Besides this, there was no significant history of any major illness in her family.
There was no history of major illness in her past.
She was a happy child. She felt low if she was not allowed to go outside to play. She was very mischievous in her school. She had the fear of the dark.
Her case was evaluated as per the homeopathic protocols. Dr. Rajesh Shah's patented medicines for Vitiligo along with a constitutional medicine Calcarea Phosphoricum were prescribed to the patient.
In 6 weeks of homeopathic treatment, her Vitiligo showed significant changes. Repigmentation occurred in all her Vitiligo spots. The recovery from the spots on her back had improved.
In the next follow-up on 3rd March 2016, her spots on the back and chest had improved further, but, at the same time, her parents noticed new spots on her face. Considering her parents' concern, it was explained to them that Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune disease with waxing and waning of the lesions, particularly in growing children. New lesions may develop with the fluctuations in their immunity, even if they are on Homeopathic treatment. It was advised to continue with the same medicines.
Again, within 1 month, the patient's parents noticed new small 6 spots on her abdomen. Even then Dr. Shah advised continuing with the same medicines as older spots were experiencing repigmentation and Dr. Shah didn't want to change the medicines at that stage as whatever positive changes had occurred so far would get disturbed by adding new medicines at that stage.
On 3rd June 2016, the patient's parents informed that the recovery from the spots on her chest and back was better by 60%. The size of the spots on the abdomen was as it is. However, the spots' color had turned dull and was not bright as before and that was a positive sign. The spots of her face that were small in the size were no more visible.
Again, the patient's parents were counseled and informed that Vitiligo gets better with continuous long-term Homeopathic treatment.
After 10 months, her Vitiligo showed around 80% improvement in terms of relief.
Later, after following medicines further, there was not much change in her spots. Also, again in February 2017, she had developed new spots on her neck. The disease's nature was explained to the patient and the dose of medicines was increased. In addition to this, it was advised to check for her Thyroid profile, Vitamin D, and Vitamin B12 as any fluctuations in thyroid hormones and deficiencies in the body may act as a maintaining cause for the disease. As it was a genetic link of Hypothyroidism in her case, she was advised to do the complete Thyroid panel check-up.
The blood tests showed the deficiency in Vitamin D, and rest all tests were normal. Vitamin D the supplement was recommended to the patient.
After the next 1.5 years of homeopathic treatment, her recovery from Vitiligo showed around 90% improvement and just mild negligible spots were left. No new Vitiligo spots had developed throughout the treatment.
She was advised to take maintaining doses and then to stop the treatment.
In our day-to-day practice at Life Force, we examine and treat many Vitiligo patients. The response of Homeopathic treatment in children is much better as compared to those in adults. After long-term Homeopathic treatment, we have observed significant results in recovery from Vitiligo in the cases of children. This case illustrates that homeopathy is highly effective in promoting the recovery from vitiligo in children incredibly and safely without any side effects.
Written by Dr. Mithila K, Associate doctor to Dr. Rajesh Shah, M.D. (Hom)
Homeopathy proved a helping hand for her, when every one else had given up.

The response to the treatment has been good. The disease has stopped spreading. We understand the improvement has been gradual as it was a large patch. Now since the last two courses of medicine she has responded very well and I can say that there has been 75% improvement with the vitiligo.
Mother of K. V., India
The appearance of new ones has drastically reduced & i can feel more at the affected areas. Previously the areas used to be quite numb. There were a few new eruptions around the existing ones not any where else. The recent spots are small & red. The older spots are drying. They are very less, infact i have not noticed new ones for the past couple of weeks. The itching sensation still about the same & sometimes higher. No LP on nails & genitals. The pigmentation is looking to be of duller colour.

There is 50% improvement. Previously I used to avoid cold drinks, juices and ice creams as I used to immediately get blocked nose, runny nose and cold symptoms on having them. But now I can take cold drinks, juices and ice creams. Cold symptoms are less.
I think my sinus problem has stopped spreading but still not completely cured. I often have the symptoms everyday intermittently, but the frequency of colds has reduced and the severity has come down considerably. The runny nose remains for sometime and then disappears.
