    I pray for your return to good health. I also hope that C. Difficile is not transmitted to any off your family and friends and that everyone is being careful.

    Obviously I am not a medical doctor, but may I suggest that at the conclusion of your antibiotic medication you might consider repopulation of your gut bacteria by taking some probiotics. I have found this speeds full recovery to feeling healthy again.

    I also humbly apologise for the occasions of my straying off topic.

      Aug 13, 2018 13:32 AM

      Thank you very much, Professor

      Al, CFS is correct about taking probiotics after taking antibiotics. And don’t scrimp. Also eat a couple of tablespoons of organic sauerkraut daily. That is full of good bacteria. And avoid sugar as it will feed the candida in your gut which goes wild when it is not held in check by the good bacteria, and the antibiotics have wiped out your good bacteria. So no sugar until you are well. You might want to consume prebiotics like nuts and pistachios to nourish the probiotics. And it wouldn’t hurt to take some liposomal vitamin C, even though it costs about $30.

        Al, thank you so much for your new policy of deleting posts about the mid-East!!!

          Many thanks Bonzo. It is simply too emotional a topic. I am on record with my opinion and there is simply nothing more that I can add.

          One last time my view “over reaction by Israel simply is detrimental and accomplishes little other than pissing a lot of people off.

            Its true, but I think its clear people prefer to be ruled.

          Self censorship is no different than government or corporate censorship.

          But we know the truth of “To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise”

          Our adventures in the Middle East have bankrupted America and we will all recognize that shortly.

    Golden Leaf To Acquire Tahoe – A Leading Nevada Producer
    GlobeNewswire – 11 minutes ago
    Golden Leaf Holdings Ltd. (CNSX:GLH.CN) (OTCQB:GLDFF) (“Golden Leaf” or the “Company”), a cannabis company with cultivation, production and retail operations built around recognized brands, today announced it has signed a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire the assets of Tahoe Hydroponics Company and 11T Corp. (collectively “Tahoe”) (the “Transaction”) on August 10, 2018. Tahoe was one of the first cultivators in Nevada and possesses years of cultivation experience and expertise, having built a successful cash flow positive business underpinned by an extensive distribution network.

    CFS Comment: Sorry, Big Al, if this violates your guidelines, but it is relevant to Marijuana weekend topic.
    These companies are fairly well known in the marijuana industry and the combination of a company with hydroponic growing experience with another having sales and maeketing experience should be advantageous.

    Growing Awareness Of CBD Oil Benefits Will Drive The Market Forward
    PR Newswire – Tue Aug 7, 8:00AM CDT
    According to data provided by Technavio, the legal cannabis market is projected to grow at a steady CAGR of about 24% by 2021. The increasing popularity of cannabidiol (CBD) oil products is one of the primary growth factors for the market. The growing impact of online retailers is also expected to contribute significantly to the legal cannabis market. The research indicates that modern customers prefer to pay using digital payment methods, thereby avoiding time-consuming journeys and billing queues. As a result, manufacturers’ attention towards the internet-savvy customer segment and new online retail formats is expected to shift. Crop Infrastructure Corp. (OTC:CRXPF), Kaya Holdings Inc. (OTC:KAYS), NightFood Holdings Inc. (OTC:NGTF), Golden Leaf Holdings Ltd. (OTC:GLDFF), Puration Inc. (OTC:PURA)

    The medical applications of CBD, and the growing awareness of them, is what makes this segment of the industry so important to its overall growth. Technavio’s Research analysis on the global CBD oil market identifies that the demand for CBD oil is high in many different parts of the world because it can cure various ailments in the human body. “One of the benefits of CBD oil includes the protection from Alzheimer’s disease and has anti-inflammatory properties. It also helps in the treatment of epilepsy and mental health disorders. The adoption rate of cannabidiol oil is increasing because they help in drug withdrawal. CBD oil is highly recommended because it can suppress the growth of cancer cells to prevent cancer. Our market research analysts predict that this market will grow at a CAGR of more than 39% by 2021,” the research states.

    Micheal Oliver @ J Taylor figures if we hit just under 1200 we should turn up, well, we just hit 1195, course he figures if we hit about 1150 he would turn bearish.

    SAN FRANCISCO (AP) β€” The Latest on Google’s location-tracking settings (all times local):3 p.m.

    Lawmakers are vowing to step up their oversight of the data collection practices of giant technology companies after an Associated Press investigation found Google continues to collect user location data even if they’ve used a privacy setting that claims to prevent it.
    U.S. Senator Mark Warner of Virginia said in a statement to the AP that if a Google user disables the setting, called Location History, it is “perfectly reasonable for that person to expect that apps will not continue tracking their location.”
    Warner said the fact it does not is a “frustratingly common” experience for technology users. He’s calling for policies that give users more control over their data and levy stiff penalties on firms that violate user trust and expectations.
    Representative Frank Pallone of New Jersey said Congress needs to take action to protect consumers and is calling for public hearings.
