Angry Politics - Partisan Hatred...

Stacy G. Ulbig

At a time of political tribalism and ideological purity tests, it can be hard to remember that cross-party hatred isn’t an inherent feature of partisan politics. But, as this book reminds us, a backward glance—or a quick survey of so many retiring members of Congress—tells us that even in the past decade partisan rancor has grown exponentially. In Angry Politics, Stacy G. Ulbig asks why. Even more to the point, she traces the trend to the place where it all might begin—the college campus, among the youngest segment of the electorate.A distinguished researcher and scholar of political psychology and public opinion, Ulbig gets right to the heart of the problem—the early manifestation of the incivility pervading contemporary US politics. With an emphasis on undergraduates at four-year universities, she gauges the intensity and effects of partisan animosities on campus, examines the significance of media consumption in forming political attitudes, and considers the possibility that partisan hostility can operate like racial and ethnic animosities in fomenting intolerance for other groups. During the college years, political attitudes are most likely to be mutable; so, as Angry Politics explores the increasing combativeness on campus, it also considers the possibility of forestalling partisan hatred before attitudes harden.

effects of cannabigerol (CBG) on...

Craig McKay

Are you wondering what the potential applicability the cannabinoid CBG has to dermatological disorders?  
Are you looking for a short narrative review that won’t break the bank that has also been co-written by someone who holds a Ph.D. in medicine and pharmacology? 
Maybe you have already started incorporating CBD into your topical products and wondered if its big brother, the lesser-known cannabinoid, CBG, is going to be even more effective in treating chronic skin issues?  
Regardless of why you are here, you won’t be disappointed.  
We have conducted a detailed literature search in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases using the following keywords, including synonyms, and all the possible combinations of them; cannabinoids, skin disorder, cannabigerol, cutaneous disorder.  
Relevant studies that reported a mechanism of action or a dermatological therapeutic effect of CBG, were included in this review. The 35 medical studies we reviewed are contained at the end of this paper so you can go off and study them in more detail if required. 
As someone who co-founded Scotland’s first cannabis cosmetics manufacturing specialist, Cannafull, and CBD beauty brand, Ascend, I know first-hand what it is like to be ahead of the curve. I truly hope you find this short paper useful in kick-starting discussions on how CBG will eclipse CBD’s market-disrupting footsteps in monumental fashion.  
The big question is, will you embrace it early, or be left behind... 
“There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.” — Niccolo Machiavelli

Inspirational Teachers...

What is it that Inspirational teachers do differently? In short, they plan for their pupils to be inspirational. Many teachers who join the teaching profession do so because they were taught by inadequate teachers and they feel they can provide a far better and more exciting education for youngsters than they received themselves.
