Bad news for Dems: Trump's rating is rising where it counts in California
Joe Garofoli May 22, 2018 Updated: May 22, 2018 6 a.m.

All that talk of a Democratic blue wave sweeping congressional races in California could be for naught if a new poll is on target: It shows President Trump's approval rating surging to 50 percent in Orange County, site of four tight races that could determine if Republicans hold the House.
A more popular Trump is bad news for Democrats, who are trying to grab seven GOP-held congressional districts statewide that Hillary Clinton won in 2016, including the four in Orange County. That would give Democrats a big jump on their goal of flipping 23 seats nationally to regain the House.
Democrats are banking on the president's unpopularity to help them win those seats. In April, the nonpartisan Berkeley IGS Poll indicated that Trump had just 38 percent support in Orange County. A March poll from the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California indicated that a mere 36 percent of all adults in Orange and San Diego counties approved of the president.
Two months ago, Republican pollster John Thomas did a survey in Orange County that found Trump's approval rating at 43 percent. But last week, his poll of 450 likely voters in the county showed that 50 percent of respondents viewed the president favorably. The margin of error was three percentage points.

What have they sacrificed? Most California candidates fumble...
One reason for the Trump uptick in the OC is that the number of voters who believe the country is on the right track has grown 10 percentage points over the past two months, Thomas said. He is advising Orange County Supervisor Shawn Nelson, who is running for the House seat held by soon-to-be retiring Rep. Ed Royce, R-Fullerton.
"If that holds and the trend line continues, " Thomas said, "then it's buh-bye blue wave."
Other surveys have found high approval for Trump's handling of the economy, which historically is a good indicator of overall satisfaction with a president's performance. A CBS News poll released Sunday showed that 68 percent of the adults surveyed thought Trump's policies "were responsible for the current state of the economy."
But organizers for NextGen America, a progressive organization funded by billionaire former hedge fund manager Tom Steyer, believe a Democratic sweep in November is still possible. The group is spending $350,000 to try to turn out 200,000 voters ages 18 to 35 in the four targeted Orange County districts.
NextGen America is focusing on turning out people who don't typically vote in midterm elections. Statewide, only 3.7 percent of voters between ages 18 and 25 voted in the 2014 California primary, according to a UC Davis study.
"There's nowhere to go but up," said Ben Wessel, NextGen's deputy political director.
While Thomas' poll may have shown Trump's popularity rising among likely voters, Wessel said, "we don't spend a lot of time talking to likely voters. And among the people we're talking to, I can tell you anecdotally that his approval rating is more like 5 percent."
Wessel says the group is trying to convert young adults' concerns over issues such as high student debt, soaring housing costs and school violence into votes for Democratic candidates.
"We're having a November-level effort and it's June," Wessel said. "It's a life-or-death situation for progressives and we're treating it like such."

Golden Era harks back to the Hollywood movies of the 1930's and 1940's. with images of cameras, film reels, press photographers and stars adorning the game. It's a 5 reel, 15 payline pokie from the famous Microgaming developer that has a couple of bonus rounds like free spins with moving wilds and a pick a prize type game to add a bit of glitz and glamour to the proceedings.
A wide betting range that goes from 0.15, with all lines automatically activated, right up to 300.00 a spin, makes Golden Era suitable for all but the very smallest and largest of bankrolls.
Microgaming have a certain style that they apply to many of their games, with an elaborate cartoon design to the symbols and classy Art Deco theatre that surrounds them giving this pokie a smart appearance. Symbols are all related to the theme, with the lowest value one being the movie tickets.
Get 3 of these across a line running from the left to the right and players will be in for a payout equal to 5x the line bet, while 5 of them right across the reels are worth 100x the amount staked per line. On the same level of the pay scale, we find some handprints in concrete, copying those outside the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, while moving up it we see reels of film that are valued at 10x to 150x the line stake for landing between 3 and 5 on a line.
There's a movie camera, microphone and luxury car of the era, each paying out increasing amounts, while the highest value symbols start off with the paparazzi, who is worth up to 500x the line bet, while the old lady film star is valued up to 600x.
Finally, we see a male star, the beautiful female star and as a suitably romantic ending, the highest value symbol is the two of them about to share a kiss, although this being set in more chaste times we don't actually see the smooch itself.
Rather than get sued by the estates of famous deceased film stars, Microgaming have wisely chosen to use made-up characters instead, but this doesn't distract from the game at all.
So that's the regular symbols dealt with, but what is it that starts off the bonus rounds? The special event that players are likely to view most often is the appearance of a wild symbol. This takes the form of the Golden Era logo and whenever 3 or more come to a rest on a line, players get some big wins including the game jackpot of up to 530,000 coins at maximum bet.
The wild also substitutes for all others, with the exception of the scatter symbol to help complete winning combinations, with the scatter itself being a clapperboard.
This activates the main features of the game when at least 3 examples land on the reels at any time. It also pays out scatter wins, which are multiples of the total bet, not just the line bet, so it's a pretty valuable symbol in a couple of ways.
There's a choice of bonus rounds offered to players. Picking the free spins starts 12 games with a unique Embracing Wilds feature. On the first spin, the male actor will be a wild symbol across the whole of reel 1 on the left, while the actress will be another wild on the right hand reel, while for the second spin they will move closer together to reels 2 and 4 and on the third they will embrace on the middle reel.
The sequence repeats until the end of the spins, while any wins created by the stars together on reel 3 will be doubled in value.
Picking the Double Feature Bonus takes players to the outside of a movie theatre which is decorated with 12 posters for various (made up) films. The aim of the game is just to click on each of them, uncovering bonus prizes, which can include a multiplier payout, and they all get added up until a 'Pop' logo is revealed and the round ends.
A Classic Hit or a Turkey?
Golden Era has a nice theme and style to it, as well as an ingenious twist to the free spins game that fits in perfectly with the subject matter.
If there's anything missing, it's the option to gamble each win that features in many other Microgaming pokies, or the fact that the free spins can't be re-triggered, but neither of these are the end of the world and shouldn't put anyone off giving this game a standing ovation.

If you've ever woken up hungover and with a chunk of money missing from your account, you're not alone, according to new research.
Almost one in five adult Aussies have shopped online while drunk, fintech company Finder found.
Out of those who admitted to splurging online while boozy, the average amount individuals have most spent in one sitting was $328.
Surprisingly, men are the worst offenders spending more than $343 in one sitting, compared to women forking out $306.
Gen X are the worst drunk shoppers shelling out $425 on average per sitting, compared to $299 for Millennials and $265 for Gen Z.
Those from NSW are more likely to splurge while drunk with $370 spent on average, compared to $252 by Victorians.

The most popular things to splash the cash on are food delivery, more alcohol and clothes or shoes, while more outlandish purchases include airline tickets and pets.
But it's not just the only drunk activity Aussies are indulging in. Some have even gone as far as applying for a job and applying for a house or apartment.
Kate Browne, personal finance expert at Finder, said the past two years have seen a huge change in how we shop online.
"Shopping online is so common and even more accessible than ever. Shoppers have a wider range of goods and services at their fingertips, and can shop around for a bargain at any time," she said.
"On the down side, because shopping online is so easy, it's possible to shop whenever you want, and no matter what state of mind you are in, including if you've had a few drinks."
According to Australia Post, nine million Australian households shopped online in 2020, the equivalent to 82 per cent of all households.

Online purchases grew by 57 per cent year on year for the 12 months to December 31, 2020 as Australians spent a record $50 billion online up from $32.1 billion in 2019.
Online spend accounted for 16 per cent of total retail spend.
Ms Browne said now is the time to get your finances in check before the upcoming holiday season.
"We are coming into the most expensive time of the year, so it's a great idea to plan ahead.

"Try and do your Christmas shopping a bit earlier during the November sales such as Black Friday to grab bargains," she said.

People can buy a new computer with the operating system already installed, upgrade from Windows XP or Vista, or do a clean install on a computer the user already owns. The clean installation took us about 30 minutes, but that will vary depending on your computer. Vista users merely need to back up their data before choosing the Upgrade option from the install disc.
Custom will have the same effect as a clean install, although it'll save your old data in a folder called Windows.
Once you choose Custom, you'll need to select the partition of your hard drive that contains Windows XP, and then follow the instructions to enter your product key and allow the computer to reboot as needed. If you're not sure if your current computer can run Windows 7, you can download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor from Microsoft.
Features: Taskbar and Aero Peek Although the look of Windows 7 may seem to be nothing more than some polish applied liberally to the Vista Aero theme, make no mistake: This is a full replacement operating system, and more than just "Vista done right.
The first thing that should stand out is the new taskbar. This is one of the best improvements Microsoft has made–third-party program dock makers are going to have to do some serious innovation when Windows 7 goes public. Besides incorporating the translucent style of Aero, the new taskbar is arguably even better than the Mac OS X dock.
It features pinned programs using large, easy-to-see icons. Mouse over one and all windows associated with that program appear in preview. Mouse over one of those preview panes to reveal an X to close the window. Hover over the preview to show a full-size preview of the program, or click on the window to bring it to the front. Because of the button size, people with touch screens should find it especially easy to use. Jump lists are another new taskbar improvement that make recently opened documents easier to get to.
Right-click or left-click and drag on any program icon pinned to the taskbar to see a list of files that you've recently used in that program. In Internet Explorer, this will show recently visited Web sites, although it doesn't yet seem to work in Firefox. If you've noticed the missing Show Desktop icon, that's because it's been baked into the taskbar itself. Mouse over to the right corner.
Hovering over the Show Desktop box reveals the desktop, and then hides it when you mouse away. Click on the box to minimize all your programs. Resizing programs has been simplified and improved by the capability to drag a window's title bar. Drag a program window to the top of your monitor to expand it to full screen. If you want to work in two windows simultaneously, drag one to the left edge and one to the right edge of your screen, and they'll automatically resize to half the width of your monitor.
Dragging a program away from the top or sides will return it to its original size. Theme packages also make it much faster to change the look of Windows 7. From the Control Panel, you can change the theme under Appearance and Personalization. Microsoft has created several theme packages to give people a taste for what the feature can do.
Click on one to download it, and it instantly changes the color scheme and background–no need to reboot. Users can create their own themes, as well.
Windows Media Player and Device Stage One of the biggest new features makes Windows Media Player useful again: you can now stream media files from one Windows 7 computer to another, across the Internet and out of network.
Even better, the setup procedure is dead simple. When you open Windows Media Player, there's a new Stream option on the toolbar. Click it, and you're presented with two choices. Both require you to associate your computer with your free Windows Live ID. When you've associated a second Windows 7's WMP with that same ID, you can remotely access the media on the host computer.
Windows Media Player's mini mode looks much slicker, emphasizing the album art–sometimes at the expense of clearly seeing the controls, but it's a definite improvement. The new Device Stage makes managing peripherals significantly easier, combining printers, phones, and portable media players into one window. A large photo of the peripheral summarizes important device stats and makes it easy to identify which devices you're using.
Device Stage can also be used to preset common tasks, such as synchronization. Device Stage support for older devices makes one of Windows 7's best features applicable to peripherals and externals that don't need to be upgraded. The steps to install Windows 7 are simple and easy.

Windows 7 will support both bit and bit systems. A touch-screen monitor is required windows 7 professional download softlay take advantage of the native touch features. Do note that some users have claimed to have limited success running the Windows 7 beta with less than 1GB of RAM, but that's not recommended. Installation Microsoft is offering several paths to install Windows 7.
People can buy a new computer with the operating system already installed, upgrade from Windows XP or Vista, or do a clean install on a computer the user already owns. The clean installation took us about 30 minutes, but that will vary depending on your computer. Vista users merely need to back up their data before choosing the Upgrade option from the install disc. Custom will have the same effect as a clean install, although it'll save your old data in a folder called Windows.
Once you choose Custom, you'll need to select orofessional partition of your hard drive that contains Windows XP, and then follow the instructions to enter your product key and allow the computer to reboot as needed.
If you're not sure if your current computer can run Windows 7, you can download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor from Microsoft. Features: Taskbar and Aero Peek Although the look of Windows 7 may seem to be nothing more than some polish applied liberally to the Vista Aero theme, make no mistake: This is a full replacement operating system, and more than just "Vista done right.
The first thing that should stand out windowss the new taskbar. This is one of the best improvements Microsoft has made–third-party program dock makers are going to have to do some serious innovation when Windows 7 goes public. Besides incorporating the translucent style of Aero, the new taskbar is arguably even better than the Mac OS X dock.
It features pinned programs using large, easy-to-see icons. Mouse over one and all windows associated with that program appear in preview. Mouse over one porfessional those preview panes to reveal an X to close the window. Hover over the preview to show a full-size preview of the windows 7 professional download softlay, or click on the window softla bring it to the front.
Because of the button size, people with touch screens windows 7 professional download softlay find it especially easy to windows 7 professional download softlay. Jump lists are another new taskbar improvement that make recently opened documents easier to get to. Right-click or left-click and drag on any program icon pinned to the taskbar to see a list of files that you've recently used in that program.
In Internet Explorer, this will show recently visited Web sites, although it doesn't yet seem to work in Firefox. If you've noticed the missing Show Desktop icon, that's because it's been baked into the taskbar itself. Mouse over to the right corner. Hovering over the Show Desktop box reveals the desktop, and then hides it when you mouse away.
Click on the box to minimize all your programs. Resizing programs has been simplified and improved by the capability to drag a window's title bar. Drag a program window to the top of your monitor to expand it to full screen. If you want to work in two windows simultaneously, drag one to the left edge and one to the right edge proressional your downloav, and they'll automatically resize to half the width of your monitor.
Dragging a program away from the top or sides will return it to its original size. Theme packages also make it much faster to change the look of Windows 7. From the Control Panel, you can change the theme under Appearance and Personalization. Microsoft has created several theme packages to give people a taste for what the feature can do. Click on one to download it, and it instantly changes the продолжение здесь scheme and background–no need to reboot.
Users can create their own themes, as well. Windows Media Player and Windows 7 professional download softlay Stage One of the biggest new features makes Windows Media Player useful again: you can now stream media files from one Windows 7 computer to another, across the Internet and out of network.
Even better, the setup procedure is dead simple. When you open Windows Media Player, there's a new Stream option on the toolbar. Click it, and you're presented with two choices. Both require you to associate your computer with your free Windows Live ID. When you've associated a second Windows 7's WMP with that same ID, you downlpad remotely access the media on the host computer.
Windows Media Player's mini mode looks much slicker, emphasizing the album art–sometimes at the expense of clearly seeing the controls, but it's a definite improvement. The profdssional Device Stage makes managing peripherals significantly easier, combining printers, phones, and portable media players into one window.
A large photo of the peripheral summarizes important device stats and makes it easy to identify which devices you're using. Device Stage can also downloav used to preset common tasks, such as synchronization. Device Stage support for older devices makes one of Windows 7's best features applicable to peripherals and externals that don't need to be upgraded.
One annoying change is that Bluetooth driver support no longer comes baked into the operating system. If professionnal need a Bluetooth driver, you'll windows 7 professional download softlay need the installation disc on hand or you'll have to go download it.
Search, touch screens, and XP mode Windows 7's native search feature has been improved. Files added to the hard drive were indexed so fast that they were searchable less than 5 seconds later.
Search result snippets now include a longer snippet, and highlight the windows 7 professional download softlay more clearly. This should appeal specifically to people who juggle large numbers of long documents, but it's a useful feature for anybody who wants to find files faster.
However, the search field is available by default only in the Start menu and in Windows Explorer, and cannot be easily added to the taskbar. Touch-screen features worked surprisingly windows 7 professional download softlay. The читать больше sometimes windows 7 professional download softlay some downpoad the multitouch gestures, occasionally confusing rotating an image, for example, with zooming in or out of windows 7 professional download softlay image.
Windows 7 professional download softlay, though, windows 7 professional download softlay were few difficulties in performing the basic series of gestures that Microsoft promotes, and this places Windows 7 in an excellent position for the future, as more and more computers are released with multitouch abilities.
Experts and people or companies who hope to use Windows 7 for business situations will appreciate the new XP Mode. It doesn't have much of a practical application for the home consumer, but if you need to windows 7 professional download softlay programs designed for Windows XP that have not been upgraded to Windows Vista or 7, XP Mode creates a virtual environment within Windows 7 that should assuage any windows 7 professional download softlay of upgrading without backward compatibility.
It's not easy to set up once you've downloaded the XP Mode installer. You'll need to double-check that you have the right hardware, and can get the right software.
Motherboards older than two years probably won't work, and even if you do have a newer one you might have to prfessional into your BIOS and activate Hardware Virtualization. CPU-identification utilities are available from Microsoft that can tell you if you're in the clear or not.
However, if compatibility is the issue, this hassle will be worth it to you. Users will have full access to peripherals connected to their Windows 7 hardware, including printers, and the clipboard can be windows 7 professional download softlay to cut and paste between the virtual operating system and the "real" one. Microsoft has tweaked the feature so that it's less intrusive, but it's not clear whether that means you're actually more or less secure than you were in Vista. UAC was one of the biggest changes in Vista.
It tightened program access, but did it in such a way as to frustrate many owners of single-user computers.
Windows 7 provides more options for user customization of UAC. The default setting is to notify users only when programs try to make changes to the computer, one step below the most restrictive setting of Always Notify.
Under Always Notify, anytime a program tries to access the Internet, or you try to make changes to the computer, Windows 7 will require user confirmation.
The second-least restrictive option doesn't dim the desktop when UAC is activated, and will only notify the user when programs try to make changes to the computer.
When the desktop dims, Windows windoqs is locking it down and preventing access. Never Notify is the most relaxed option, and is only recommended by Microsoft for programs that aren't compatible with UAC. UAC also displays a blue banner when confronted with a program from a known publisher versus a yellow banner and exclamation point when the program is from an unknown publisher.
The number of clicks it should take to use UAC safely has been reduced, However, it's important to note windows 7 professional download softlay it's a less aggressive default posture by UAC.
A less glitzy, but no less important, change windows 10 1703 download humble windows 10 1703 download iso italianos how removable drives are handled also can affect donwload media. This kills off a risky vector for malware infections that has been the bane of many security experts.
Although Doftlay is working on a windows 7 professional download softlay of its antivirus and antimalware program, now called Microsoft Security Essentials, it won't be processional with Windows 7.
Users are ссылка на подробности required to download a third-party antivirus and antimalware program, softkay the Windows Firewall remains intact. As with many features in Windows windows 7 professional download softlay that have been carried over from Windows Vista, продолжить will notice there's prfoessional more granular settings control than before.
Features like filtering outbound traffic, which were available in Vista but not exposed, are easier to access in Windows 7. Performance Windows 7 feels faster than Windows XP and Vista, but it turns out that's not always the case–sometimes, it's the slowest out of the three operating systems.

Violence in Iranian football needs to stop
TEHRAN, Apr. 30 (MNA) – The Iranian domestic football, known as Iran Professional League, has been marred by violence and abusive language. The rivalry between Persepolis and Sepahan, two old and popular football clubs in Iran, is a footballing rivalry which dates back to many years ago.
However, in recent years the rivalry between these two teams, who have always been among the favorites to win the Iran Professional League (IPL), has often stirred controversy.
Chaotic scenes broke out during match between Persepolis and Sepahan on Friday as visiting fans broke the seats and clashed with the security forces.
In a rather disastrous afternoon, angry Sepahan fans started ripping plastic seats from the stands before hurling them onto the pitch at the Azadi Stadium in Tehran. Later the fans of both teams scrapped with each other in the stands before the start of the match and according to Tehran emergency center more than 250 fans were injured in the clashes before and after the game.
On Friday April 19, similar issues happened in Tabriz. After the match between Tractor Sazi and Paykan, the Tabriz fans were devastated at their team's 0-1 home loss and started causing a public nuisance as a display of their anger.
The Football Federation of Iran Disciplinary Committee on Saturday made temporary rulings in some disciplinary cases regarding the match between Persepolis and Sepahan. The committee has also made penalties for some clubs and their violent fans in previous similar cases. The punishments were temporary. So were the solutions. That behavior has been repeated again and again at pitches everywhere in Iran and of course it is something that can be seen in stadiums all over the world.
Sport can heal and unite cultures. But sometimes the anger of biased fans of some teams lead to unpleasant scenes in sports, especially football. Violent incidents of Iranian football in recent years have reached alarming levels, putting pressure on the Iran Football Federation (FFIRI) to adopt stronger measures.
To prevent the recurrence of such incidents, there is a need to take it seriously. Coordinated measures by federation of football, government, security authorities and football clubs might be useful. Weak security procedures and ineffective management have paved the way for violence.
English football was once plagued with violence between supporters. The English Football Association introduced new measures to prevent rival fans from conflict. Stadiums were re-designed so that visiting supporters are confined to one area with its own entrance and exit.
New ticketing systems also required English supporters to give their contact details when purchasing tickets. This allowed individual buyers to be traced back to their seats. The new system made it possible for officials to identify potential conflict areas before violence occurred.
In Iran, integrating similar ticketing system would need the government's backing to improve infrastructures in stadiums around Iran. This ranges from sophisticated magnetic scanners to an elaborate camera system.
The clubs themselves should also take responsibility and play an active role in stamping out violence among their supporters.
Violence and abusive language won't disappear overnight. Fundamental steps are needed to eliminate these issues from football little by little.

Eight surprising facts about cannabis
It is easy to assume marijuana cultivation began in fairly modern times.
Tom Gaffey, The Fresh Toast,
Not only was Thomas Jefferson and George Washington both reported to have hemp on their properties, the famous Mayflower had sails and ropes made from hemp. / RGBSPACE / ISTOCK / GETTY IMAGES PLUS
Cannabis, in all its forms, is more prevalent and accessible than ever before in the U.S. Still, it often seems that many are unaware of weed's story, with some thinking the plant had no relevant history before the 1900s.
To Win 'Jeopardy!', Contestants Better Know Their Marijuana And LSD History
What history teaches us about shaping South Africa's new cannabis laws
How did Canada get here? A timeline of cannabis (and hemp) from prohibition to legalization
As cannabis becomes more prevalent, perhaps it's time to discover the lesser-known facts about this iconic plant to help understand what exactly makes marijuana so interesting and important. Below are eight fun facts many may not have known about this elusive plant called weed.
Cannabis dates back thousands of years
It is easy to assume marijuana cultivation began in fairly modern times. However, the first recorded use of cannabis dates back thousands of years before the United States was even an idea.
Cannabis was mentioned in the sacred Hindu texts known as The Vedas, which were estimated to have been produced some time around 2000 to 1400 B.C. Woven hemp fibers were even discovered at a burial site in Taiwan dating back 10,000 years.
U.S. dispensaries number more than Starbucks or McDonald's
As cannabis increasingly becomes legal for recreational use in the U.S., its retail popularity is skyrocketing. In the last few years, marijuana dispensaries have become more plentiful than either Starbucks or even McDonald's in some areas.
"In Denver and Portland, Ore., for example, marijuana retailers outnumber Starbucks by close to double," according to Marijuana Business Daily.
Some U.S. states have a cap on the number of dispensaries allowed, but the Oregon figure is certainly telling.
Beer and weed are cousins
Those who have taken a whiff of a particularly hoppy craft beer and thought they smelled weed should know their noses weren't far off. Beer hops (or humulus), it turns out, are in the same family of flowering plants as cannabis.
"They confirmed that humulus and cannabis were very closely related and belonged in a single family, Cannabinaceae," according to Popular Science.
The two plant species may inspire two very different final products, but sometimes the smell is practically indistinguishable.
Weed affects men and women differently
It may sound strange, but some studies have concluded that marijuana affects women differently than it affects men. The entire THC experience may be different, touching on the amount needed to get high to tolerance levels.
The main way that cannabis acts differently in women than men is its interaction with the female production of estrogen.
Canvas comes from cannabis
Canvases have been the landing spot for some of the most important artwork throughout time. Historically canvases were often made with the assistance of cannabis. In fact, cannabis was so important to canvas production that it inspired the name.
"The word 'canvas' is related to the word 'cannabis.' Historically, canvases were made of hemp," according to Vocabulary.com.
The birth of e-commerce was a marijuana sale
There exists great debate when it comes to who exactly started e-commerce. Still, there was a day in the early 1970s that is often regarded as the first internet transaction, and it involved marijuana.
"In 1971 or 1972, Stanford students using Arpanet accounts at Stanford University's Artificial Intelligence Laboratory engaged in a commercial transaction with their counterparts at Massachusetts Institute of Technology," wrote John Markoff in his 2005 novel, What the Dormouse Said: How the Sixties Counterculture Shaped the Personal Computer Industry. "Before Amazon, before eBay, the seminal act of e-commerce was a drug deal."
Marijuana affects the heart
Although many now frequently regard cannabis as "safe," it does come with some potential health side effects. One of these is an added strain on the cardiovascular system.
Studies suggest that marijuana can can affect the heart in several ways, "including raising resting heart rate, dilating blood vessels and making the heart pump harder," according to Harvard Medical School.
Hemp is woven into U.S. history
Hemp has a long history in the U.S. Not only was Thomas Jefferson and George Washington both reported to have it on their properties, the famous Mayflower had sails and ropes made from hemp.
The first two drafts of the United States Declaration of Independence were written on paper made from hemp. The cherry on top of all this history woven with hemp lies within the first manufactured symbol of this nation.
The first American flag made by Betsy Ross was made from industrial hemp.
"Many of the very first American flags were made from hemp cloths. So there's a real tie in to our country's history and the important role industrial hemp played in agriculture in our country," said Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo., who authored an amendment to the so-called Farm Bill, which allows industrial hemp research in states where it is legal.

Opinion: Apple's latest results prove the iPhone 11 needs to take a page out of Google's playbook
By Alastair Stevenson
July 31, 2019 12:46 pm BST
An iPhone 11 dummy unit | Image Credit: @mkbhd/Instagram
Apple's just released its latest quarterly financial results and they paint a pretty picture for everything but one thing: the iPhone.
Despite posting earnings of $53.8bn – a 1% year-on-year increase – iPhone revenue was actually down. Specifically, the company only took in $25.99bn in iPhone revenue – down $3.48bn from last year.
This doesn't sound like much, but it means the iPhone speaks for its smallest share of Apple's overall revenue for the first time since 2012. The news was so marked that Apple CEO Tim Cook even pseudo acknowledged the trend in his statement to investors.
"This was our biggest June quarter ever – driven by all-time record revenue from Services, accelerating growth from Wearables, strong performance from iPad and Mac and significant improvement in iPhone trends," he said.
Related: Best smartphones 2019
Significant improvements here being Apple code for "it's not doing as bad as expected". The only positive statement he had was that they'll have "new products" in the near future.
"These results are promising across all our geographic segments, and we're confident about what's ahead. The balance of calendar 2019 will be an exciting period, with major launches on all of our platforms, new services and several new products," Cook added.
This presumably refers to the company's hotly anticipated iPhone 11, which is expected to launch in September.
Related: Best mid-range smartphone 2019
Sadly what Tim Cook didn't address is, for me, the core reason the iPhone isn't dominating the way it once was: it's too expensive.
You may remember me making this point before. I actually said it less than a week ago in Trusted Reviews' last Fast Charge column. And not to blow my own trumpet, but these results prove my point.
As I've said it multiple times – the top-end phone bubble has well and truly burst. Like laptops in the early 2000s consumers have woken up to the fact that they don't need to buy a new phone every year and, outside of a select few power users, don't need to spend £1000 on a new handset.
I'm not alone in this belief. Kantar researchers agree, with the company's latest mobile sales forecast highlighting the mid-range £400-£600 segment of the market as the fastest growing in mobile. It also highlighted a minor drop in the Apple iPhone's market share in Europe – something that would have been unheard of even a couple of years ago.

For me and the rest of team Trusted Reviews, what Apple needs to do to reverse this trend is simple. Apple has to make a cheaper iPhone.
Yes you can buy an older iPhone 7, and the iPhone XR technically is a cheaper option, but to really reverse the trend Apple needs to go further and take a page out of Google and Samsung's playbooks.
We've already seen that bringing new innovations and handsets to the mid-range market works. Google managed to completely reverse its dire Pixel 3 phone sales with the launch of the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL, which feature the same top end camera-tech as their siblings, but cost close to half the price, earlier this year.
Samsung's latest financials also highlight the launch of its spiffy new mid-range Galaxy A-series as a key growth area that's helping it overcome lower than expected Galaxy S10 sales.
If Apple wants to pull the same trick it'll have to do the same, and bring innovation and a new phone to the mid-range market. Hopefully it will listen and release a new iPhone SE 2 or follow up to the much beloved iPhone 5C. But given the lack of industry rumblings about the two, I'm not holding my breath.

The groundbreaking account of U.S. clandestine efforts to use Southeast Asian Buddhism to advance Washington's anticommunist goals during the Cold War
How did the U.S. government make use of a "Buddhist policy" in Southeast Asia during the Cold War despite the American principle that the state should not meddle with religion? To answer this question, Eugene Ford delved deep into an unprecedented range of U.S. and Thai sources and conducted numerous oral history interviews with key informants. Ford uncovers a riveting story filled with U.S. national security officials, diplomats, and scholars seeking to understand and build relationships within the Buddhist monasteries of Southeast Asia.
This fascinating narrative provides a new look at how the Buddhist leaderships of Thailand and its neighbors became enmeshed in Cold War politics and in the U.S. government's clandestine efforts to use a predominant religion of Southeast Asia as an instrument of national stability to counter communist revolution.
Eugene Ford received a PhD in history from Yale University, winning the Arthur and Mary Wright Prize for an outstanding dissertation in the field of history outside the United States or Europe.
Shortlisted for the 2019 Social Sciences Book Prize, English Edition, sponsored by the International Convention of Asia Scholars (ICAS)
"Ford's immersion in the politics of Thai Buddhism and his formidable powers of synthesis set a new standard in the historiography of Cold War Southeast Asia."—Michael Montesano, ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute, Singapore
"Eugene Ford's Cold War Monks is an important, scrupulously researched, balanced, and innovative study of an aspect of the Cold War that has been neglected. It covers in detail the international organizational aspects of that competition and as well as the national role of Buddhism--especially in Thailand, but also in Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia--in anti-communist politics, policies, and social welfare activities. It is highly recommended for its insights into Southeast Asian social dynamics."—David Steinberg, Georgetown University
"Cold War Monks is an important book. No other study explains how regional Buddhism, US Cold War policies, the Asia Foundation, and the World Fellowship of Buddhists helped change conservative Thai Buddhism into the politically involved institution that it is today."—Thak Chaloemtiarana, Cornell University
"Cold War Monks is a pathbreaking study of how Thai Buddhists interacted with American attempts to use their church in the war on communism in Southeast Asia and how Buddhists transformed their faith, indeed their country, in so doing. Superbly researched and brilliantly argued, it places Thailand in the broader sweep of international history – right where it should be."—Christopher Goscha, The University of Quebec in Montreal
"This is an intelligent study of the US government's attempt to mobilize Buddhism in five Southeast Asian countries for policy ends during the Cold War. Cold War Monks abounds in insights into the official and, to some extent, covert American 'brain.'"—Craig J. Reynolds, Australian National University

Camping is such a magical experience. I have such wonderful memories of being little and having wonderful camping trips. I was a beaver, cub and scout and took part in lots of weekend camping trips and i also spent two weeks every summer holidays at a Christian camp where we would do daily activities and go on days out and do to the beach. Just the thought of setting up camp in an enchanting forest and sleeping under the stars with the fire roaring is enough to make me day dream. I would love to take my husband away for the weekend and just camp where ever we wanted to and spend our days exploring and going on adventures and just having that magical time together. Last year, my sister got married at a lake and we all camped for the weekend in a bell tent. The girls loved it and we flew a kite, played games and sat around the fire pit with our family, eating roasted marshmellows. Elle talks about it a lot still and we are hoping to take the girls back there to carry on creating memories.
