CBD capsules deliver a precisely measured amount of hemp extract ideal to be swallowed with a mouthful of water. CBD oil is known for its versatility and comes in a variety of different strengths and flavours. CBD oil and CBD capsules are both popular ways to take CBD, but which is the best?
Here you can see how tiny the doll on the left is compared to the one on the right. She also has younger looking features. That's because she's meant to represent a high school student (Gabriella from High School Musical), so she may be too youthful looking for Meraude. But I love her hair! Maybe she can end up being a Schola student, if I use the other one for Meraude? In either case, I'll find some way to use both ladies, because I like them both very much. They have different head sculpts from any of the other heads I've used so far.

The Believe in the Cure Cycling Tour Comes to Philadelphia
An Inspirational Journey for an Inspirational Young Man
The power of one individual to make a difference cannot be measured in words, but in actions. John Ellis, a 17-year-old from Pensacola, Fla., was diagnosed with hepatitis B in 2006. Instead of being discouraged by this devastating medical diagnosis, John turned the news into an opportunity to raise awareness about hepatitis B. With a passion for cycling and a desire to help raise funds to find a cure for the disease, John contacted the Hepatitis B Foundation (www.hepb.org) with an idea to organize an East Coast cycling tour. Today, John’s idea has become a reality! The Believe in the Cure Cycling Tour, sponsored by the Hepatitis B Foundation, is a 1,100 mile journey which began on June 2 at John’s high school in Pensacola and ended in Philadelphia on June 23 – John’s 18th birthday!
A group of Hepatitis B Foundation researchers, staff, supporters, friends and family joined John and his riding companion and best friend, Jamaal Warren, for the last leg of their journey from Conshohocken to Kelly Drive in Philadelphia. John and Jamaal were welcomed at their Kelly Drive finish line by the Hepatitis B Foundation; Philadelphia’s Fralinger String Band Mummers; O’Liver, the Hepatitis B Foundation’s mascot; friends and family from Philadelphia and Pensacola and many more. ABC 6’s Health and Medical Reporter, Ali Gorman, served as the event emcee and Councilman Greenlee presented John with a citation from the city of Philadelphia. Dr. Timothy Block, Co-Founder of the Hepatitis B Foundation and Dr. Baruch Blumberg, Nobel laureate who discovered the hepatitis B virus also participated in the event program congratulating John for his extraordinary accomplishments.
About John Ellis and the Believe in the Cure Cycling Tour: John Ellis is an extraordinary young man. He was a healthy teenager, when the results of a routine blood test revealed that he had hepatitis B. This news came just two weeks before his 16th birthday and John recalls emotions of, “being incredibly scared because I didn’t know what having hepatitis B would mean for me.” His fear was further fueled by his doctor who told him that he would eventually need a liver transplant. John’s world was turned upside down. He was frightened and also confused as to how he could have contracted this potentially fatal disease; he had received the hepatitis B vaccine in middle school.
John turned to the Hepatitis B Foundation to learn more about his disease. The Foundation is the only national nonprofit organization solely dedicated to finding a cure and improving the quality of life for those affected with hepatitis B worldwide. Hepatitis B is the most common serious liver infection in the world. It is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) that attacks liver cells and can lead to cirrhosis, liver failure and liver cancer. The virus is transmitted through infected blood. In the U.S., 1 out of 20 persons (or 12 million Americans) have been infected with HBV.
Armed with information about hepatitis B and with a conviction to improve his health, John gave up a junk food diet and began exercising. He purchased a $50 bike from a local bike store and started riding it everywhere – to school, to work and just for fun. “I knew I wanted to ride for a cause. People need to become more aware about hepatitis B and how it affects us,” said John. John has shown us courage in the truest sense of the word. He is approaching his chronic hepatitis B diagnosis with a positive attitude and embarking on this cycling tour to prove to himself that he can overcome obstacles placed in his path. Knowing that there is no cure for hepatitis B does not dampen his spirits. “If I believe in my heart that things will work out for the best, then who’s to say I’m not cured,” said John.
Sponsors of the Cycling Tour include NutriSystem, CP Commercial Printing, Monster Graphics, Bikes Plus (Pensacola, Fla.), Fox Rothschild LLP, High Swartz LLP, Newman’s Own Organic, Clif Bars, and Enterprise Rent-A-Car.

Senior Logan Miller analyzes the differences in the new modern Disney princesses from the older versions of the princesses in her W131 class on Jan. 26. The lesson was supposed to help define what a "Cinderella story" was. Miller was disappointed when strong princesses such as Mulan became more feminine and model-like. SARA YUNG / PHOTO
After finally taking delivery of my much awaited Nikon D800, and having received my lenses earlier in the week, I decided to see if this camera, and my monster sigma 150-500mm, are up to the task, so off to a practice day at Snetterton race track. Huge files, lots of memory card changes, and a bit of rain later, and these are a handful of my fans. Impressed? Yes. I have officially jumped the Canon ship and joined Nikon.
When viewed at FHD laptop screen size, I see negligible difference in quality. In the far hills, there's slightly better definition in the full-frame DSLR image. But, at 100% zoom, on checking out the greenery in front of the house and brickwork in the house wall, the detail in the full-frame DSLR image is far superior to the other two.
Some of my friends ask me why I always wear shorts and T-shirts, dark-washed jeans and flip sandals, not high-heeled shoes, not sequined blouses or dresses :"< well, because I love loose-fitting garment that makes me free all the time. Guys, do I lack sense of feminity inside...

What’s the difference between a collapse, a downfall, and a downright apocalypse? How will it all end, and why do we love to wonder? Ice or fire, zombies or bombs? Out with a bang or a whimper? And can we do anything to stop the decline?
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, the new free exhibition at Science Gallery at Trinity College Dublin, will explore why the disastrous can be devilishly entertaining, and whether there’s any truth to these dismal predictions. Join doomers, designers, and doctors as they lay out the top threats to our world, evaluate how likely they are, and spell out exactly what we can do about it. The exhibition opened on 13th October and runs until 11th February 2018. For more information, visit dublin.sciencegallery.com/icoe.
Just trying out the new Aperture. Opened the same NEF (RAW) file and started editing with the knowledge I have. I'm a Photoshop user, but I was pleasantly surprised by some Aperture features.
I am way faster in Photoshop and Photoshop feels faster on my 2.0 Ghz Dual Core iMac with 4GB RAM. Nice things in Photoshop:
- Repair brush (it's fast and easy)
- Zoom views and spacebar move
- This is JPEG setting 12. Filesize 1,7MB
- Before/after view whilst setting filters (like sharpness) so you can see effect.
Not so good:
- Auto levels made this image too dark
- Hard to isolate/fix blue hue on greenish fish (see Aperture example for how it should be)
- Cropping is oldfashioned in Photoshop. i.e. No preview of crop and that silly pulldown for aspect ratio. Basically still a hit and miss gamble.
p.s. I love NIK filters and "Pro contrast" really fixed this image, but I decided it was not fair to use external filters to fix this image, but just the given tools of the software.
