Hemp seeds are one of the most wholesome and nutritious foods available today. Despite being closely related to the cannabis plant, hemp seeds have become widely popular as a health food in recent years.

The list of reasons to eat hemp seeds is vast, ranging from antioxidant and anti-aging properties to the prevention of heart disease and diabetes. Hemp seeds also contain all 10 essential amino acids, making them an ideal source of protein for vegetarians and meat eaters alike.

Hemp seeds usually come pre-shelled and appear small and round. When eaten raw, they have a mild nutty flavor that makes a pleasant addition to almost any recipe.

Interested in adding hemp seeds to your diet? Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Salads

Raw hemp seeds can provide a great nutritional boost to any salad. Sprinkle a few tablespoons of hemp seeds on top of your favorite spring mix and enjoy.

Smoothies

Another easy way to get the benefits of hemp seeds is to blend them into your smoothie. Just a tablespoon of hemp seed can make your smoothie extra nutritious without affecting the flavor.

Hemp seeds can also be ground up and mixed with water alone to make hemp milk.

Baked Goods

Add a handful of hemp seeds to the batter of any baked good such as muffins, cookies and breads. Due to their naturally nutty flavor, hemp seeds can also be used as a substitute in recipes that call for other types of nuts.

Hemp Oil

The oil made by cold-pressing hemp seeds offers even more versatility for those looking to enjoy the benefits of hemp. Hemp seed oil can be bought at most health-food stores and makes a great addition to salads, sauces and dips.

Be careful with adding hemp oil to warm dishes, though. Because of the low stability of the unsaturated fats in hemp oil, cooking with it is not recommended.

Although guillotine-like apparatuses were used for executions in several European countries before France adopted it as its only legal method of execution during the French Revolution, the beheading machine is most commonly associated with this period in French history and is in fact named for the physician who was instrumental in having the National Assembly adopt it as France's preferred method of capital punishment, Joseph-Ignace Guillotin.

When was the last execution by guillotine in France?

Historians consider the papal bull Unam sanctam - which proclaimed that there is no salvation outside of the Church - to be one of the most extreme statements of papal spiritual supremacy ever made.

It stemmed from Pope Boniface VIII's ongoing feud with Philip the Fair of France over Philip's taxation of clerics without papal consent.

Unam sanctam thus emphasized that Catholic princes are subject to the pope in temporal and religious matters.

Pope Boniface VIII Issues Unam Sanctam in 1302. How did Philip respond to the bull?

The study, published July 9, 2014 in the journal Schizophrenia Bulletin, followed 110 individuals with a schizophrenia diagnosis over an 18 month period to determine whether cannabis use had an effect on their illness.

"There was no evidence of a specific association between cannabis use and positive symptoms, or negative symptoms, relapse or hospital admissions," wrote Christine Barrowclough, PhD, a professor of clinical psychology at the University of Manchester and the study's lead author.

Symptoms in schizophrenia are split into two categories. Positive symptoms include hallucinations, delusions and unusual thoughts whereas negative symptoms include lack of pleasure, emotion and involvement in everyday life.

Scientists have long known that schizophrenics have higher rates of cannabis use than the general population. However, studies have provided conflicting evidence on whether marijuana use leads to better or worse outcomes in the long-run.

According to Dr. Barrowclough, the study was "methodologically robust" and one of the largest to investigate the subject to date.

Participants were recruited from five different treatment centres in England. The majority of patients were male, in their mid-20s and unemployed. Substance use was assessed at the start of the study and at 4.5, 9 and 18 months following. On average, participants used marijuana 4-5 days per week and consumed 1.3 grams per usage.

While cannabis use did not appear to have any direct impact on symptoms or outcomes in the current study, higher doses of cannabis were modestly associated with anxiety and poorer patient functioning. On the other hand, patients that used marijuana showed better functioning overall.

"Cannabis use was associated with an improvement in general functioning, a finding that was also evident in our earlier study with a sample of patients with longer illness history."

The contrast may indicate that the "impacts of cannabis on people with psychosis are quite complex and variable," offers the team. Interestingly, there is also some evidence that compounds in marijuana could be useful for treating the disorder.

The researchers conclude that further studies should be conducted to "take forward this clinically important area of study."

The accidental release of methyl isocyanate gas from the Union Carbide pesticide plant in Bhopal, India, immediately killed at least 3,000 people and ultimately caused 15,000 to 20,000 deaths.

Another 500,000 survivors have since suffered ailments related to the disaster.

The company paid $470 million in compensation to the victims, and several former employees were convicted of death by negligence in relation to the incident.

Yet, it maintains that it is not to blame for the gas release. Why?

This means that for the last 30 days the video about JFK was censured from Google AdSense monetization! Nice...

Turismo Associati has on it's You Tube account (LINK HERE) many controversial videos. One of these, named: John F. Kennedy: The Speech About Secret Societies That Assassinated Him, subtitled in italian: Discorso: John F. Kennedy e le societá segrete and in romanian with the name: Discursul lui John F. Kennedy despre societatile secrete.

It's all about the famous speech made by John Fitzgerald Kennedy on 27 of april 1961 about the secret societies and their conspiring that killed JFK. HERE IS A LINK if you want to read more about the subject.

The truth is, since May 19, 2014, less then six months ago, these three videos - made with audio from the public domain (the registration of a public speech made by the United States President J.F.K. - were systematically trolled and censured from YouTube view and Google Adsense monetization. All of them!

Let me tell you about the last problem for the italian version. We've received, yet again, another Copyright Notice.

Here are the details:

1st copyright details:
"Vendetta Kingz-Foundation Of Kingz", sound recording administered by: 0:03

2nd copyright details:

3rd copyright details:

SME - Your appeal is awaiting response by December 5th, 2014

As you can all find, with a simple Google search, most of the claims are installed on behalf of unknown and obscure music labels or bands with songs with lyrics like, in the case of Stray From The Path - Landmines: "But you can see me die trying, never scared of being poor/ Never bent for the rich, never gave a s**t/ When will you listen to this? You sorry son of a... Ah f**k it"...

Who has the interest on censuring this important message left by one of the most appreciated president of the U.S.?

Just think outside your box!

Zeitgeist Day 2015 is now upon us. This will be the 7th annual event since the first official "Zday" in 2009, as covered by the New York Times. For those new to TZM, Zeitgeist Day is our flagship, global awareness event, performed by both official chapters and supporting groups across the world.
 
Apart from our always full capacity "main event", which will take place in Berlin, Germany for 2015, each chapter is encouraged to hold a local event of their own in solidarity. In this simple gesture, no matter how large or small your gathering, we educate, bridge and unify the world toward the common goals of ecological sustainability, increased public health and social stability.

As of early 2015, we have seen a dramatic validation of all issues (positive and negative) The Zeitgeist Movement has been pleading for in awareness and intelligent resolution, since its inception.
On the positive, our technological capacity to create global abundance through the exponential increase in dematerialization and automation has been staggering. We exist in a powerful new epoch of possibility where we can elevate humanity to a new social state of peace and stability, while restoring the habitat.
 
On the negative, we see a global stagnation of employment due fundamentally to the application of labor displacing technology. Likewise, we continue to endure rampant poverty and wage immobility. The global "class war" seems to be hitting epic proportions as it is now estimated that 1% will own half the world's wealth by 2016.

Personal and public debt levels continue to rise unbated, with this mechanism for "soft slavery" not only keeping the average person under false pressure to constantly "work" in an attempt to make ends meet - it has also created vast instances of imposed national austerity, which also only hurts the average people in all countries applied.
 
Furthermore, we continue to destroy biodiversity and overshoot resource use to keep our consumptions-based economy going. All life support systems remain in decline. As far as social relations, all one has to do is review the state of near constant social insurrection to feel the anger and tension building towards a climax we have not yet realized.

There is no time more important to be active if one cares about themselves, their family the next generation. The time is now. The only solution is to change the social system and that mission of TZM continues unabated.
