“Life’s under no obligation to give us what we expect.”
Margaret Mitchell
“Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but – I hope – into a better shape.”
“IOTD” is image of the day, a concept I came up with. I teach visual meditative therapy – or in easy terms – a mini mental holiday. For some people it is very difficult for them to get their image right. I post an image a day for people to use in their mini mental vacay. Some are serious, some are silly, and some are just beautiful!”
The legality of cannabis for general or recreational use varies from country to country.
Possession of cannabis is illegal in most countries as a result of the agreement about Indian hemp, also known as hashish, in the International Opium Convention (1925). However, many countries have decriminalized the possession of small quantities of cannabis.
Some states in the US allow use of medical cannabis in state, territorial, Indian reservation, and Federal district laws, although the use is illegal by federal law. Federal agencies claim that federal law comes first.
Tylenol’s #HowWeFamily Campaign Uses LGBT Couples To Portray Changing Face Of The Family
WHEN WERE YOU FIRST CONSIDERED A FAMILY?
When you fell in love?
When you married?
When you had kids?
Gay and lesbian couples feature prominently in Tylenol’s new #HowWeFamily campaign, which aims to celebrate the diversity of modern families.
A same-sex prom couple and two gay dads are among those featured in the campaign’s first TV ad, which is directed by Academy Award winner Dustin Lance Black and is slated to begin airing on TV next week.
The clip launches a three-month effort that will include profiles of 10 real-life U.S. families, a “docu-short” on the changing face of the American family and the results of a national survey on families. Each of these components will soon be found on a microsite.
A voice-over declares,
“Family isn’t defined by who you love, but how.”

Manoj Raghunandanan, Senior Director of Marketing for Johnson and Johnson’s McNeil Consumer Healthcare, told Advertising Age that the ad was representative of his company’s commitment to celebrating how “families look and feel different now than they did before.”
He added, “Because we’re a family brand, because we’re an iconic American brand, and we want to continue to serve families into the future, I think it’s important that we reflect what that family is today.”
The campaign’s spokeswomen are “Bring It On” actress Gabrielle Union and psychiatrist and columnist Gail Saltz.
When were you first considered a family? We believe that family is not about who you love, but how. For over 60 years, TYLENOL® has cared for all families.
Tuesday is a day of the week occurring after Monday and before Wednesday.
According to some commonly used calendars, it is the third day of the week. According to international standard ISO 8601, however, it is the second day of the week.
The English name is derived from Old English Tiwesdæg and Middle English Tewesday, meaning “Tīw’s Day”, the day of Tiw or Týr, the god of single combat, victory and heroic glory in Norse mythology.
Tiw was equated with Mars in the interpretatio germanica, and the name of the day is a translation of Latin dies Martis.

Nationwide Medical Students’ Die-In, #WhiteCoats4BlackLives
Medical students joined the nationwide uprising over the deaths of people of color at the hands of police and held die-ins at more than 70 medical schools from coast to coast. They expressed outrage over the epidemic of police killing unarmed black and brown people, calling it a public health emergency, and cited statistics showing racial disparities in health care and health outcomes.
On Twitter, reports were tagged with #WhiteCoats4BlackLives.
Medical students from more than 70 schools on Wednesday protested racial profiling and police brutality through the social media initiative #WhiteCoats4BlackLives.
Hundreds of medical students wore white coats at “die-ins” and other protests on campuses to spotlight racial bias as a public health issue.
On December 10, 2014, students at Harvard Medical School, Harvard School of Dental Medicine, and Harvard School of Public Health participated in the National White Coat Die-In in the memory of Michael Brown and Eric Garner.
