hi! do u ship to eu?

I currently everywhere except the UK (but UK can order through Etsy, or use a mail forwarding service).

Next year however, I will no longer accept international orders & everyone from outside of the US will need to use a mail forwarding service to order (I've looked into it and in almost all cases they are cheaper and faster than the international shipping I can offer directly!)

4 Things to Consider When Setting Up a Dairy Processing Plant

Setting up a dairy processing factory requires a great deal of rigorous planning and decision-making. From procuring high-quality milk to ensuring hygiene, the procedure can be complicated. [ Milk Processing Plant and Machines Manufacturers ] However, focusing on the correct areas early on might help the setup run more smoothly and efficiently. Here are four key factors to consider while establishing your dairy processing plant:

Plant Location and Layout. Choosing the right site is crucial to your plant's success. Proximity to dairy farms can assist minimize milk transportation costs, yet access to a consistent water supply is critical for sanitation and operations. The plant layout should be planned to ensure that all processes run logically, from milk reception to pasteurization, packaging, and storage. Key considerations should include efficient space usage, adherence to food safety regulations, and flexibility for future expansion.

Key points:

The proximity to raw milk sources.

Access to services such as water and power.

Efficient process flow to avoid contamination.

Selecting the Right Equipment The equipment you select determines your plant's capacity and efficiency. Milk pasteurizers, homogenizers, separators, storage tanks, and packaging machines are all essential pieces of equipment. High-quality, energy-efficient machinery not only improves operations but also lowers long-term maintenance expenses. It's also critical to select equipment that satisfies food safety regulations and is simple to clean, resulting in high-quality dairy products.

Key points:

Invest on energy-efficient equipment.

Concentrate on cleanliness and ease of cleaning.

Make sure your equipment is scalable so it can grow with your firm.

Regulatory Compliance and Safety Dairy processing is subject to stringent food safety requirements. You must follow local and international requirements for hygiene, product labeling, and staff safety. Obtain the appropriate permits and certifications from relevant authorities, such as the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) or a comparable organization in your nation. To avoid contamination and maintain product safety, make sure your company follows Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).

Key points:

Understand the local food safety laws.

Secure the appropriate licenses and certificates.

Implement strict safety procedures to protect both personnel and products.

Supply Chain & Distribution Efficient supply chain management allows you to provide fresh products to market while minimizing waste. Consider how you will obtain raw milk, store finished products, and deliver them to retailers or customers. A strong cold chain system is vital for keeping products fresh, especially perishable commodities like milk, yogurt, and butter. Develop ties with reputable suppliers and distributors to ensure a consistent and high-quality supply.

Key points:

Develop solid ties with suppliers and distributors.

Maintain reliable cold chain logistics.

Prepare for seasonal changes in milk supply.

Conclusion By focusing on these four critical areas—location, equipment, regulatory compliance, and supply chain—you can create a dairy processing factory that is efficient, cost-effective, and capable of producing high-quality products. [ Milk Processing Plant and Machines Manufacturers ] Proper planning from the start will help you avoid costly mistakes and provide the groundwork for long-term success in the dairy sector.

I looked into this and I cannot find any confirmation that antihistamines actually have this "phenylephrine". You can read the ingredients off the boxes, it is not there. You can google it as a specific question, and it says no, so it's not even a component of other chemicals. Decongestants do have it, like some versions of sudafed, and it is true that the "-D" versions of antihistamines do have pseudoephedrine, as do strict decongestants like some versions of mucinex. You can get the -d versions by prescription. Congress did put pseudoephedrine behind the counter for reason of the drug war.

I also looked up whether acts by the DEA are the reason for the current adderall shortage, and that is completely false.

Congress relaxed restrictions on providers prescribing Schedule II controlled substances — such as Adderall — through telehealth at the start of the pandemic. This change led to an increase in both attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnoses and prescriptions for Adderall. The total number of Adderall and generic-equivalent prescriptions increased 16 percent from 35.5 million in 2019 to 41.2 million in 2021, according to IQVIA, a health research firm. In October, FDA reported that Adderall, the brand name for the immediate-release formulation of amphetamine mixed salts, went into shortage due to ongoing manufacturing delays.

COVID delays. As with all other global economic problems and resource issues.

The FDA said in a statement that it was in “frequent communication with all manufacturers of amphetamine mixed salts, and one of those companies, Teva, is experiencing ongoing intermittent manufacturing delays.” 

Teva Pharmaceuticals is the country’s largest manufacturer of Adderall. It first reported delays in filling orders in August, attributing them to a labor shortage on its packaging line that it said had since been resolved. 

NBC

These changes troubled the DEA, which expressed concern that the relaxed regulation requirements led to over-prescribing controlled substances, such as Adderall, for illicit use and abuse by those who do not need it.

From 2019 to 2022, total prescriptions of Adderall rose from 35.5 million to 41.2 million, about a 16% increase. Despite the uptick in demand for ADHD medications since the pandemic and the shortage, the DEA has maintained its limited quotas and is not planning to increase them in the next year. Since Adderall is a Schedule II controlled substance, the DEA regulates them, and pharmacies usually forgo doubling their supply to avoid DEA scrutiny.

Done Global, Inc. and Cerebral Inc., two leading telehealth providers, took advantage of the pandemic’s opportunity to provide online evaluations and treatment for ADHD patients. Diagnosing ADHD can be challenging, and it often takes at least 90 minutes to distinguish the ADHD symptoms from other conditions that can present similar symptoms, like anxiety and depression, but require another treatment. Both companies heavily marketed their ADHD subscription services on social media and hired nurse practitioner contractors to evaluate and prescribe medication after only a thirty-minute video appointment. They are presently under investigation by the DEA for potential CSA violations, and federal prosecutors have already issued Cerebral a subpoena to investigate their practices. Cerebral stopped prescribing stimulants to treat ADHD in May 2022, while Done continues to prescribe stimulants.

Loyola University Chicago School of Law

The quotas mentioned are a yearly production limit set by the DEA based on the previous year's sales. I cannot find any info that the quotas were reduced from 2020 to now. The shortage did not happen merely with increased access to treatment, as the telehealth rules were relaxed back in 2020, the start of the global pandemic. Only now are there shortages, two years later; again there are ongoing delays from covid problems, but telehealth companies are on the rise since the pandemic. "Illicit use and abuse" is overly heavy handed and accusatory to describe patients who aren't getting proper care, who are being abused by companies who don't do their due diligence and simply hand out medication like candy instead of actually treating the patient properly. You don't medicate a kid who can't keep up in class because he's the youngest in the class and therefore simply behind an entire year in development from everyone else. It's normal that this child would be "inattentive and hyperactive" compared to everyone else. Parents wanting to drug their kids into compliance is not real medical need, and yet parents do that shit constantly and doctors across the world comply gladly. People believing they have ADHD are given drugs like candy when that's not the actual problem, but doctors hand it out because they don't want to do the tests that would identify the actual problem--covid doesn't cause ADHD, but it sure can cause the same symptoms, and doctors would rather just hand you candy than figure out what you actually need.

That's probably where the actual problem is coming from, given there are investigations, alongside that one major plant reporting manufacturing problems. Obviously there would not be a shortage at all if the medication wasn't controlled, but that still doesn't make the claims in the OP true--that's like saying the revolutionary war only happened because there was a British king, that's not the inciting factor here. The DEA in no way decreased production allotments; they literally increased access in the last two years, and as far as I can tell, actually did increase quotas from 2019 to 2020.

The fun thing about having to go to the doctor to prove my blood pressure isn't too high is that going to a Kaiser facility is the most aggravating thing I do on a regular basis.

"yeah your blood pressure was a little high the last time we tested it, so you can't have any ADHD meds. Come back in and test it again"

Hey maybe my blood pressure is so high when you test it because every time I have to go to your damn hospital, I get misgendered five times BY THE PEOPLE LITERALLY GIVING ME HORMONES and nearly get killed trying to park and I'm surrounded by coughing people who aren't wearing masks? It seems that might increase my blood pressure somewhat.

Organization XIII - Parenthood

Suggested by: Anon. Hope you enjoy this!  Sorry that it took so long to post!

Note: I labeled whether or not the kids are boys or girls because it is a bit easier to write about and, by law (as far as I am aware, the last time I checked), a doctor is required to put one of the two on the birth certificate.  This is not meant to be disrespectful to anyone who is Transgender or Genderfluid.  Both  are wonderful and valid.

Rating: 6/10; It’s a boy!

Never wanted to be a father - and it’s father, not dad - and slightly resentful of you for making him one even though he’s just as guilty as you are.  Tries not to hold it against you, but it’s difficult.  But then... he sees an opportunity.  This is his kid - his own flesh and blood that holds wonderful potential to be one of the most powerful people to have ever lived.  With your power and his combined in one tiny package, your son has the potential to lead the organization one day and damn if that doesn’t make him go a complete 180 on the whole ‘kid thing’ then idk what would.

Makes sure that his son has the best education with the best tutors, is mentored in arts, math, science, music, etc.  Wants your boy to become a well-rounded individual with a wide arsenal of skills at his disposal.  Want to slit a man’s throat and have to perform at a piano recital immediately after?  You got it.

His son is more like him than either of them ever realize - think Legolas and Thranduil from Lord of the Rings, just more ruthless and less blonde - and they fight often, but there is actually no one that they trust more than each other.  Sees your boy as more of an ally than a child.

Xigbar

Rating: 3.5/10; It’s a girl!

Xigbar! is! truly! an! idiot!  He’s better than Larxene in that he’s like... present for 98% of the girl’s life, but he’s... so damn overbearing that it borders on possessive.  It was okay when she was a baby - when he was nothing more than an overprotective first time dad - but the hovering never faded and it bothers your daughter more and more as she grows up to be a beautiful teenager.

She’s definitely smarter than him and smarter than he gives her credit for.  Mastered the art of sneaking around him - with your help - and doesn’t know that he knows when the two of you are being sneaky because he’s just that observant.

Your daughter knows that he means well, and that’s what matters.  He knows how terrible the world is and how awful people can be - because he’s literally one of them - so even if he’s overbearing and has a tendency to overreact to small thing, he means well and looks out for his kid because he knows that not many other people care about her wellbeing like he does.

Xaldin

Rating: 6/10; It’s a girl!

Has no idea what being a parent means or how to be one or what he has to do and knows nothing whatsoever about babies.  He’s fine with it, obviously, and he loves the kid and loves you, but he literally has no idea what he’s doing and it shows.  May not be the best parent but he puts in the effort where he can and it shows.

He’ll literally go to the ends of the earth to protect his daughter.  One thing he does know is how to fight, so heaven help anyone who dares lay so much as a finger on her without her permission.  He’s the one who ends up training her how to fight, though you had to put a stop to it when she was just a toddler and tried to play with one of his lances in her little baby fist.  “You can teach her how to fight, but let’s wait a few years until she can hold one of the lances without the urge to put it in her mouth, okay?  God only knows where they’ve been.”

Soft and compassionate and gets better as your little one grows older and he gets used to holding her and being around her.  No longer afraid of accidentally hurting her and literally thrives when his grumpy, blank face makes her giggle with her chubby cheeks and toothless grin.

Vexen

Rating: 5/10; It’s a boy!

He’s a fairly decent parent, but he goes back and forth with being cold and clinical and being a hovering worrywart.  There’s really no balance between the two and sometimes it’s hard to gauge his moods.

Can sometimes be distant, but you and your son try not to take it personally because that’s just his nature.  Sometimes he just closes in on himself without even realizing it when he gets caught up in a test or experiment, but that doesn’t mean that his child isn’t almost always in his thoughts in one way or another.

Does get points for being willing to listen to his kid.  If your son thinks that a rule is unfair, he’ll give them a chance to explain why it is unfair and then change it accordingly.

Lexaeus

Rating: 100000/10; It’s a girl!

So. Damn. Happy.  A baby crying on the day they are born is literally one of the most amazing sounds in the world and he is not ashamed to admit that he shed a few tears.

Incredibly patient.  You’ve never seen him raise his voice even slightly whenever your child got into something they weren’t supposed to or woke you both up in the middle of the night for a nightmare.  The first one to rise in the middle of the night at the sound of a cry, both because he’s eager to help and he knows that you need your rest because birth is a taxing thing.

Without a doubt, he’s the one your kid goes to for comfort for anything.  Broken heart? Skinned knee?  Bad grade?  Upset because of the rainy weather?  A fight with a friend?  Just having a bad day?  He is nearly ALWAYS the one that she’ll go to because, even if he doesn’t speak, his hugs have the power to heal any ailment.  He’s like a giant teddy bear and his hugs are a great comfort.

Zexion

Rating: 8/10; It’s a boy!

He’s definitely the silent type of parent, but one small glare from him would send your son running in the opposite direction.  He knows that if Zexion is mad that you’re doing something, you need to stop doing the thing right now.

Will read a story to him every night.  They manage to finish tons of books and classics just through reading together.  It’s the way your son learns to read for himself and, as Zexion says, ‘The best way to hear a story is to have it read to you.’

Surprisingly good coach and mentor that gives really great advice.  You think it might be a holdover from all of the books he’s read and all of the advice he’s gotten over the years, but whatever it is, it works.  Your son always goes to him for advice on everything from deep psychological issues to mundane problems in his day to day life.

Saix

Rating: 9/10; It’s a girl!

Tries his hardest not to be like his own parents, what little he remembers of them, at least.  They were distant at best and he’s often a mess when it comes to his little girl, but he tries to be a firm though guiding hand that leads her in the direction where she’ll eventually be strong enough to stand on her own.  Wants your child to be able to make her own way in the world without being under the shadow of her parents.  Just for these efforts, he gets an A++ for parenting skills.

Tries to be fair whenever possible, but can be protective too.  He’ll dote on his daughter in subtle ways, like patting her head and ruffling her hair when he passes by her, helping her in whatever it is she’s doing at the time, etc., but he certainly knows to set boundaries and knows when to put his foot down.

Like Zexion, he’s also a good mentor.  With whatever you’re doing or practicing, whether it’s writing, playing an instrument, practicing with a weapon, etc., he’ll always and forever be the best person to ask for feedback.  He’ll tell you what you’re doing right, what you’re doing wrong or need to improve on, and what you need to do to get better.

Axel

Rating: 8/10; It’s twins - one boy and one girl!

Basically takes care of Roxas and Xion, so he’s practically a dad already.

Has two baby carriers that he swears by - carries one child on his back and one on his chest.  Takes delight in surprising people that there are two kids and not one.

He’s totally nuts and everyone knows it, but you still love him anyway because he’s so good at being a dad.  Literally the cool dad that Demyx wishes he could be.

Would do laser light shows and set off fireworks in his kids rooms before you put a stop to it.

Always helping his kids do something to keep them occupied, whether that’s building something, coloring, or just chatting and joking with each other.

Demyx

Rating: 6.5/10; It’s a boy!

Demyx is super torn.  He loves his kids to pieces, but he’s torn between being the fun dad and being a good influence with a stern hand for bad behavior.  Wants to be the person that trusts their kid without hesitation and wants his kid to trust him in return, but it’s difficult to strike that balance between parent and friend.

As such, he’s often in a limbo between rule enforcer and rule breaker and often takes part in inconsistent parenting.  He’s a pushover, too, letting your kid do things or take part in activities he might be too young for.

Not really a smart decision maker, so he tends to be lax with rules and is the parent that a lot of the others want to have because he isn’t strict.

BUT, despite all of this, he is one of the best at cheering up his kid.  He always knows exactly how to pull a laugh out of your son even when the boy feels like his world is falling apart, and Demyx is very proud of 

Luxord

Rating: 7/10; It’s a girl!

Tries to be chill but is really freaking out inside, but he can’t show it because his proper English sensibilities forbid it.  Loves his daughter more than he ever shows.

Works more from behind the scenes than anything else.  Like let’s say that your kid has a particularly awful teacher who really gives her a tough time and she ends up complaining about it within Luxord’s earshot.  She’ll go to school the next day and the teacher will have mysteriously quit and moved away.

Not really cut out to be a primary caregiver, but does his best.  Will sit and tell stories at bedtime and give advice when prompted, but he tends to keep an arm’s length away.  Whether that’s because of his own stunted emotions or because he just doesn’t know how to take care of them, you aren’t quite sure.  It’s probably a bit of both.

Marluxia

Rating: 9/10; Has two twin girls!

Was doubtful that he would be a good dad but takes to it like a duck takes to water.  He’s kind, patient, caring, and almost motherly in the way he cares for your daughter.  Like Axel, he’s one of those dad’s who has that baby carrier where he carries his kid but rarely lets anyone else touch her because, well, germs.

PTA Mom; gets mad at another mom’s store bought cupcakes when everyone else ends up making things that are homemade.  Ends up starting a fight at the PTA Meeting.  Somehow also ended up roped into being a Girl Scout Troop Leader.   Surprisingly good at it.

Will name his kids after flowers.  “This one is Daisy and this one is Lily, because they’re my little flowers I get to watch blossom over the years!!!” Xigbar: “You’re literally going to make me throw up.”

Larxene

Rating: 2/10; It’s a girl!

She doesn’t want kids.  She’s never wanted kids.  She never will want kids.  Would never be the stay at home mom type of person and will probably have her significant other be the one who stays at home while she works and metaphorically brings home the bacon.  This is how it is for the majority of the time when child is a baby to about four years old.  She is there, but distant.

As the child grows older, she kind of moves into the spotlight as a... power mom?  She knows what it’s like to be stepped on because of her gender and damn if she’s going to let her daughter grow up without knowing that is valid and deserving of respect.

Tells off other moms who try to give her advice on how to raise her own child.  Larxene doesn’t take shit from anyone, and certainly not Suburban Karen who’s daughter’s name is Kayleighilieahe

‘ you can’t trust anybody. ’

the mouse and his child starters

‘Not completely, no.’ He tilts his head to the side, agreeing with the silver-haired man as he stares out the door. ‘But you can trust them enough.’

‘Just to let them in when it counts, and shut them out when it’s over.’

He checks his supplies one more time, making sure the troops that the General–his master, not this gloomy, pale-faced man–equipped on him are still sound, then turns back to face Sephiroth squarely.

‘You’re not from this world, but I am. So if you want to get back, at least work with me first to get out of this mess.’

The other chairs and tables in the restaurant begin to rattle. Yagen catches the scent of electricity crackling in the air, spots the distortions forming holes in the skies and sending more enemies landing their way. He hasn’t even finished his lunch yet, but that’s because the Retrograde Army always picks the best time to intrude.

Something lands with a heavy whump on the roof. Yagen unsheathes his tantou and straightens in his seat to peer quietly at the ceiling.

‘For someone who knows their sword as well as I know mine,’ he adds. ‘This should be a piece of cake.’

The timber cracks. A hulking, massive form of black and bones rips its way through the ceiling, even as Yagen leaps to his feet and Sephiroth seemingly does nothing. Seconds later, the tantou’s cut off its head while Masamune protrudes starkly through its lanky ribcage. With a soft hiss, the enemy yari fades away along with its weapon.

‘Not bad,’ Yagen observes as he lands on his feet.

“Mere afterthought,” his companion stands up to full height and settles his blade by his waist. “Lead us.”

And Yagen’s face breaks into a grin. ‘Of course, General.’

It usually takes a full team of swords to beat back an entire army. But with Sephiroth as support, two is enough.

Though this time, Yagen thinks as he weaves between two flying tantou to strike them down in the center, I’m the one playing second fiddle. 

In any case, there’s not a hair out of place on the SOLDIER’s head by the time they finish off all the enemies. Yagen waits for the dust to settle and Konnosuke to come bounding into his arms before facing his immaculate partner.

‘Thanks.’

“What is this?” Sephiroth looks highly unimpressed with the yellow furball blinking back at him.

‘Our ticket home,’ Yagen replies simply.

Home in this case being the citadel, a large but traditional Japanese complex with sliding doors and tatami floors and an aesthetic that reminds the silver-haired man very much of Wutai. He meets with Yagen’s ‘General’ first, a slight figure covered from head to toe in ceremonial robes and known as the Saniwa. It’s impossible to make out their features or even their gender, and he finds himself very disinclined in care.

“Masamune?” the human questions him, more interested in his blade than himself. “Ah, then I’ll have Hyuuga show you around.”

And out comes a little boy with white-blond hair and light-blue eyes, who refers to him politely as a long lost brother and takes him by the hand to lead him all around the citadel before ending up in front of the guest room. 

“If you need more assistance, please call on me anytime!” the tantou finishes and presses a package into Sephiroth’s hands. He opens it up to find two onigiri, carefully wrapped in seaweed and topped with a umeboshi center.

‘Settling in alright?’ Moments after Hyuuga runs off ‘to help in the kitchens,’ Yagen strolls down the hall. He’s wearing his casual outfit and glasses, but no labcoat.

“I thought you were getting me back,” Sephiroth says in a low voice.

Yagen puts up two placating hands. ‘The citadel is our base of operations, so it’s easier for the Saniwa to make arrangements here. They’ve got the Konnosukes looking into it, too.’

“The what?”

‘The foxes,’ Yagen clarifies. ‘Kon kon? They’re more advanced than they look.’

“Did you just kon kon me.”

‘It’s a pun. Kon kon, Konnosuke–’

Sephiroth kindly slams the door of his room in Yagen’s face.

‘Erm…you just took it off its hinges. Do you want me to…’

“Leave.”

‘Alright then. Dinner’s in an hour, you’re welcome to join us if you’d like.’

Sephiroth does not “join them” as Yagen suggests, but he does make his way to the dining area to get his fill of subsistence to support his current body. Most of the occupants would pale before his height, but he discovers (quite unpleasantly) that he’s dwarfed by the yari and naginata in the room.

“Ooh.” Someone bumps into him, nearly knocking the food off his tray. Sephiroth whirls back and gets a face full of chest.

“I didn’t notice you since you’re too small. I’m Iwatooshi, Musashibou Benkei’s naginata! Gahahahaha!“ At nearly six feet seven, Iwatooshi towers high enough to see the top of Sephiroth’s head. Higher still is the tantou perched on his shoulders who peers down to give Sephiroth’s single black wing a curious look.

“Wah~! Are you a tengu, too? Or maybe a new oodachi?”

“He’s a Masamune!” someone else pipes up.

“Masamune?” Mitsutada’s head whips up at the word, only to be corrected seconds later.

“The one from Sagami, not Yamagata!”

“Ah.”

“He’s cool!”

“He’s a little scary, too…”

“So does that make him Hyuuga’s older brother?”

‘He’s a guest,’ Yagen speaks up at last, standing up from his seat at the Awataguchi table to weave across the room and slip in between SOLDIER and naginata. ‘He’s also yet to eat his dinner, so let’s give him some space to breathe.’

The air is clearer outside so that’s where they end up sitting, with strict instructions to the other swords to leave them alone.

‘You know, I would’ve brought you something if you didn’t show up.’ Yagen bites into an apple while Sephiroth considers his meal.

“I’ve dealt with this before.” ShinRa had canteens for its SOLDIERs, after all, and he didn’t eat exclusively in his office. “Were those…”

‘The swords?’ Yagen looks up. ‘Yeah. The General’s personal army.’

“Some of them look like children.” Which wasn’t strange–he’d seen the likes training in Wutai before, but ShinRa’s elite hardly accepted anyone younger than their teens into their forces. Leaving aside the grueling training on underdeveloped muscles, they’d never survive the Mako treatments.

‘Tantou tend to do that,’ Yagen admits. ‘But they’re old. And they’ve killed their share on the battlefields.’

“Monsters?” Sephiroth asks, thinking back to steel and bone and rust. “Or humans?”

‘It’s stopped mattering by now,’ Yagen replies. ‘As long as they die like they’re supposed to.’

–

“Why don’t you alter the past?”

‘Because it’s set.’ Yagen pauses from raking the leaves to rest his chin on the handle. ‘And we’re supposed to fix it.’ 

Because that’s what the enemy wants, whispers the echoes of his old and loyal heart.

“And what makes the present worth keeping?” Sephiroth challenges next. “Why not take this chance to correct the flaws of your history and make it…more complete?”

‘Then the legacies and meanings will all change,’ Yagen replies. ‘And there’ll be new flaws to replace the old. Humans aren’t perfect, so their history never will be, either.’

“It could be better.”

‘It could be worse.’

It’s been three weeks. The Saniwa’s made contact with the government, who’s instructed them to keep the Outlier (so they call him) in their sights at all times while they deal with the irregularity. Deployment permissions were requested a week after that and granted with surveillance requirements at all times. Being the one who found him first, it’s Yagen that spends the most time with their newest visitor.

“You won’t consider other possibilities.”

‘That’s not part of my duties,’ Yagen catches more stray leaves and adds them to his pile. ‘I only serve the General and take their word as law.’

“They haven’t been your only master.”

‘No, but they’re the one who commands me now. That’s good enough.’

Maybe he forgets, that Sephiroth was once a General himself.

Maybe he forgets, that they have both tasted enough of fires and war to know how to shift its tides.

Maybe he forgets, that to have one wing is sometimes worse than having no wings at all, with the promise of flight before you yet never within you, a single chance short of getting what you wanted, what you dreamed.

What you think you deserve.

And for a man who once held an entire Planet in his thrall, grasping the timeline in his hands is as simple as picking up a piece of string and pulling until it snaps.

–

‘Sephiroth!’

It’s not the first time Yagen’s seen the man take flight in battle, but it is the one time he heads for the holes in the sky. There lie the distortions created by gaps in the timeline, the doors from where their enemies descend.

‘You can’t!’

He thinks he sees the silver-haired man look back, but just once. Then he’s gone into the darkness, leaving nothing but a single black feather that lands at Yagen’s feet. Seemingly seconds after that (in this time–who’s to say how much has passed in his?), the skies above him crack and splinter into points of light. The ground beneath Yagen gives way and he finds himself falling, falling, f

                                         a

                                            l 

                                    l

                              i n

                                        g fast into an endless void below–

“Yagen!”

Yagen Toushirou comes to his senses with a jolt, clipping his heels on the hard marble floors with enough force to echo in the grand entry hall.

‘Huh?’

“Haha, did you fall asleep on your feet?” Before him, Fudou waves a hand in his face and skips back a few steps. “Come on, it’s almost time for the ceremony!”

‘Ceremony?’ Yagen echoes, glancing automatically towards Fudou’s other hand for the bottle of (?)–what, exactly?–that isn’t there. 

‘What ceremony?’

“You’ve been overworking again, haven’t you?” Fudou frowns at him with a face remarkably clear and sober. “Hasebe’s gonna be pissed if he finds out! Heh, I’m tellin’ him for sure!”

Yagen knits his brows together, narrows his eyes and thinks. He’s–he doesn’t know what, but he needs quiet and time to consider. He needs to find–

‘The General,’ he blurts out next. ‘Where are they? I need to see them.’

“That’s where we’re going!” Fudou grabs his hand and drags him down the hall. Marble pillars line both sides, while stone statues of figures Yagen doesn’t know grace them from the ceilings. “Hurry up, we’re going to be late for Nobunaga-sama’s coronation!”

‘What?’

“After midday, he’s going to be crowned Emperor of Japan!”

What?

Something about that echoes differently than what he remembers, but when Yagen looks back into his memories, he doesn’t find anything wrong. He’s served the man he calls his master for years, watching him build up him empire bit by bit. Allies and traitors alike had fallen before his swords until he was the only one left.

‘Where are we?’ he suddenly asks, because marble and granite and statues are not things he’s familiar with in either past or present.

“The Temple of the One-Winged Angel!” Fudou’s grip on him is firm, his steps quick but steady as he leads him towards the door at the end of the hall. “They finished building it right before Nobunaga-sama’s ascension date. He’s the strongest god in mythology, don’t you know? He defeated Izanagi with only a single strike!”

Yagen wants to ask more, but Fudou’s already led them past the door and into the room beyond. There is a sizable crowd of soldiers and nobles alike, each of them standing to wait around an empty raised dais in the center. Above in the front and center is a beautiful marble statue of a long-haired man with one wing over his shoulder.

“I wonder what he really looks like,” Fudou remarks. “The Angel guy. Probably all tall and majestic, with wings as white as a crane’s–”

‘Black,’ Yagen replies immediately.

“Huh?”

‘The wing is black.’

“Really? You’ve seen him?”

Yagen wrinkles his brow again, grasping for tendrils of memory that isn’t there. ‘I…don’t know.’

Fudou just crosses his arms and laughs. “If you’re going to make things up, at least be more convincing!”

But then he quiets down, because a group of priests have entered the hall and now they’re chanting a song.

Veni, veni, venias, GloriosaNe me mori facias GenerosaVeni, veni, venias, GloriosaNe me mori facias Generosa

SephirothSephirothSephiroth

Yagen hardly blinks when Oda Nobunaga accepts the crown and takes his rightful place as royalty, but his eyes can’t help but see flickers of silver hair and green, cat-like eyes between the glimpses of his Gener—no, His Majesty now.

It’s strange, but he pushes the images to the back of his head. Souza tells him it might be visions, scattered sights of the Angel offering him enlightenment in his mind. He secretly finds the idea ridiculous and decides to ignore them. It wasn’t wise to trust anyone so absolutely.

Just enough to let them in, and shut them out when all was over.

Real Estate Franchising

What is a franchise?

Let’s start with what is a franchise. Franchising refers to when someone builds a business model that is successful and packages it up for others (they are the franchisor).

  Franchise fees and royalty payments

Franchisees buy the rights to do business under (DBA) the company for an initial investment, called a franchise fee. This fee can vary depending on many factors such as size and location. A monthly fee of a small amount is required to operate as a franchisee. This fee, sometimes a percentage, is known as a royalty fee.

  Follow these rules

Real estate franchisors can be very strict about how franchisees must adhere to the model. Some are more relaxed about the process and may allow independent brokerages a lot of freedom, provided they adhere to core principles.

  It is important that you understand the pros and cons of each scenario for your brokerage. Also, it is important to know what you are getting. If a franchisor is too strict, you might feel like a manager for someone else’s company. This could be deflating.

  However, strict guidelines for franchising may ensure greater success as there is less deviation to the core brand. You are purchasing a concept from someone else because you wish to replicate their success in the real-estate industry.

  Steps to buy a franchise in real estate

The steps required to buy a franchise in real estate are quite simple. Each step of buying a franchise is important. It is a complex legal process, so a lot of detailed information has been included.

  Sign the Franchise Disclosure Document

First, you will be provided with a franchise disclosure (FDD), which details all the requirements, rules, and expectations for a franchisee. An FDD contains important information.

  1. It is a disclosure and not an agreement 2. The FDD is the FDD. You can’t negotiate it. 3. The 14-day clock starts when you sign the FDD to get a franchise. 4. It favors the franchisor. 5. Signing the FDD is an affirmation that you have signed an NDA

  FDDs are registered in the state where you live. Franchisors cannot CHANGE FDDs because they aren’t legally allowed to. It is equivalent to asking them to change the FDD.

  The best way to start franchising is to accept the FDD, sign it and then examine it with an attorney.

  The FDD is extremely weighted in the power perspective of the franchisor as it protects them and the other franchisees against you making poor decisions that could negatively impact the brand, which can harm other franchise owners.

  Examine and negotiate the franchise agreement

You can receive a franchise agreement seven days after you sign the FDD. This agreement allows you to negotiate any terms that you wish. You can sign the agreement seven days later and become a franchisee.

  You should keep in touch with your franchisor for the 14-day period. This will ensure that you understand what you’re buying and what to expect. Once you have signed up for the franchise and paid the initial investment, you should begin the onboarding process with the goal to get you started as soon as possible.

  Sharing franchise information with anyone outside of the company is a violation of law.

  Let’s take a closer look at what a franchise in real estate looks like. This usually refers to the rights to use franchisors’ logos, branding, marketing materials and bookkeeping template. It also includes the right to use marketing tools and training.

  Franchisees should expect to be able to access all the channels above, as well as ongoing comprehensive training in the execution of all the services. The services that are related to franchises may differ from one franchise to another. This is why it is important to ask questions about the franchising company.

  Your real estate franchise’s success

It doesn’t matter if your real estate franchise is the best in the world. But it will do you no good if the focus isn’t on selling homes and marketing the brand. Your success and the amount of money you make are ultimately your decisions.

  You will be expected to develop your business and set a good example for others. You may be required to increase your real estate franchise by a minimum amount each year, or pay minimal royalty fees.

  These are all things that you should negotiate in your franchise agreement. These goals should be a motivating factor for your business. It is important to feel satisfied with the support you receive from corporate offices and the communication they provide for you in marketing.

  Independent brokerage

Many agents in real estate would be surprised at how much money it would take to open and manage an independent brokerage. This is especially true for agents who have never been involved in this area of the industry.

  Independent brokerages have the advantage of not having to pay initial franchise fees or royalty fees. However, this is easily offset by the ongoing marketing costs, agent training, and brand awareness.

Building your own brokerage in real estate is expensive

Franchises are sold at a very low initial investment. You can’t build what others have for the same price as they can sell you real estate franchises.

  Ask any real estate agent who attempted to create their own branding. It can be difficult and expensive to establish brand awareness.

  Are franchises right for me?

You shouldn’t let your ego stop you from achieving success. Why should you continue pounding your head against the wall when someone else is making more money in real estate?

  It is important to understand what franchise opportunities you are entering and who you are partnering with. It’s a good feeling and will make you more money, so what are you waiting for?

California’s largest fire torches homes as blazes lash West (AP) Flames racing through rugged terrain in Northern California destroyed multiple homes Saturday as the state’s largest wildfire intensified and numerous other blazes battered the U.S. West. The Dixie fire, which started July 14, had already leveled over a dozen houses and other structures when it tore through the tiny community of Indian Falls after dark. Fire officials said the blaze has charred more than 181,000 acres (73,200 hectares) in Plumas and Butte counties. Meanwhile, the nation’s largest wildfire, southern Oregon’s Bootleg fire, was nearly halfway surrounded Saturday as more than 2,200 crew members worked to corral it in the heat and wind, fire officials said. The growth of the sprawling blaze had slowed, but thousands of homes remained threatened on its eastern side, authorities said.

Nicaragua arrests 7th presidential contender in Nov. 7 vote (AP) Nicaraguan police placed under house arrest a seventh presidential contender on Saturday, meaning that almost all of those who could have challenged President Daniel Ortega in the Nov. 7 elections have now been detained. Opposition leader Noel Vidaurre was placed under police custody at his home on Saturday, as was political commentator Jaime Arellano. Arellano had been called in for questioning regarding a commentary he wrote criticizing an Ortega speech. Half a dozen other potential candidates have been arrested in a crackdown that began almost two months ago. Almost two dozen other journalists and opposition activists have also been detained. Almost all were arrested under “treason” laws that Ortega has used against political rivals. Most face vague allegations of crimes against the state. Ortega alleges the country’s April 2018 street protests were part of an organized coup attempt with foreign backing.

Brazilians take to streets again to demand Bolsonaro’s impeachment (Reuters) Protesters took to the streets in several Brazilian cities on Saturday to demand the impeachment of far-right President Jair Bolsonaro, whose popularity has fallen in recent weeks amid corruption scandals against the backdrop of the pandemic. Saturday’s protests were at least the second time this month that Brazilians have taken to the streets in several cities to oppose Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro is now being investigated in the Senate, which is probing the possibility of corruption tied to the purchase of an Indian coronavirus vaccine.

Belarus once cultivated high-tech talent. Now those people are fleeing political crackdowns. (Washington Post) Belarus’s version of Silicon Valley—which once had more than 1,000 jostling and ambitious start-ups—was the one bright spot in a sclerotic economy that had changed little from Soviet times. Then President Alexander Lukashenko’s police state went after software engineers and technology workers—part of sweeping crackdowns that has left Belarus isolated from the West and under tightening sanctions. Dozens of top Belarusian IT companies and thousands of software engineers and others have fled the country, taking their expertise to nearby nations, potentially to reshape the map of tech prowess in Eastern Europe. Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia are fast-tracking visas or offering financial packages to scoop up fleeing Belarusian IT talent, hoping to create thousands of new jobs.

Europe’s summer tourism outlook dimmed by variants, rules (AP) Chaos and confusion over travel rules and measures to contain new virus outbreaks are contributing to another cruel summer for Europe’s battered tourism industry. Popular destination countries are grappling with surging COVID-19 variants, but the patchwork and last-minute nature of the efforts as the peak season gets underway threatens to derail another summer. In France, the world’s most visited country, visitors to cultural and tourist sites were confronted this week with a new requirement for a special COVID-19 pass. To get the pass, which comes in paper or digital form, people must prove they’re either fully vaccinated or recently recovered from an infection, or produce a negative virus test. Use of the pass could extend next month to restaurants and cafes. Europe’s vital travel and tourism industry is desperate to make up after a disastrous 2020. International tourist arrivals to Europe last year plunged by nearly 70%, and for the first five months of this year, they’re down 85%, according to U.N. World Tourism Organization figures.

Typhoon In-fa hits China’s east coast, canceling flights (AP) Typhoon In-fa hit China’s east coast south of Shanghai on Sunday after people living near the sea were evacuated, airline flights and trains were canceled and the public was ordered to stay indoors. The typhoon made landfall in Zhoushan in Zhejiang province, state TV reported, citing the national weather agency. It forecast rainfall of 10-14 inches (250-350 millimeters). “People should not willingly go outdoors,” the bureau said. The typhoon earlier dumped rain on Taiwan and knocked down tree branches, but no deaths or injuries were reported.

As Australia’s outbreak grows, so does covid shaming (Washington Post) Barbecue Man. The Border Jumpers. The Limo Driver. They sound like obscure comic book characters or B-movie titles. But in Australia, they are the widely known nicknames for ordinary people who have found themselves thrust into the national spotlight and blamed for spreading the coronavirus. Some of them broke the law. Others did nothing wrong. Yet all have become familiar figures in a country where relatively few coronavirus cases and efficient contact tracing have enabled politicians, health officials and journalists to home in on individuals. The finger-pointing has intensified amid the largest outbreak in almost a year, which has left half the nation in lockdown. Australia is far from the only place with covid shaming. But in countries such as the United States, where the virus was widespread before contract tracers could catch up, anger has mostly been directed at superspreader events like weddings or parties.

Premier: Iraq doesn’t need US combat troops (AP) Iraq’s prime minister says his country no longer requires American combat troops to fight the Islamic State group, but a formal time frame for their redeployment will depend on the outcome of talks with U.S. officials this week. Mustafa al-Kadhimi said Iraq will still ask for U.S. training and military intelligence gathering. His comments came in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press ahead of a planned trip to Washington, where he’s slated to meet with President Joe Biden on Monday for a fourth round of strategic talks. The U.S. troop presence has stood at about 2,500 since late last year when former President Donald Trump ordered a reduction from 3,000.

Global phone hacks expose darker side of Israel’s ‘startup nation’ image (CNN) Audacious Mossad spy operations around the world. The plucky “startup nation” home to reams of billion-dollar ideas. These are two drivers of Israel’s image abroad that its political and business leaders have long been happy to push. That slick image appears to have taken a hit with new reports that once again Israeli-founded technology, like the Pegasus software from the firm NSO, has been used by governments around the world to allegedly hack the cellphones of human rights activists, journalists and others. NSO and its defenders say its software is meant only to catch terrorists and other criminals, saying it regularly saves lives and operates under strict export controls. But the recent revelations by an international consortium of media and human rights groups about Pegasus, have thrown the spotlight back on both the company and Israel. Israel’s dominance in the cybersecurity field did not occur in a vacuum. The country’s intelligence and covert operations divisions, especially its Mossad security force, have long had a storied reputation for engaging in cunning, daring and ruthless espionage, burnished by Hollywood depictions.

Kidnappers in Nigeria release 28 schoolchildren, another 81 still held, says negotiator (Reuters) Kidnappers who raided a boarding school in northern Nigeria earlier this month released 28 children on Sunday but another 81 remain in captivity, according to a pastor involved in the negotiations for their release. The attack on the Bethel Baptist High School in the state of Kaduna was the 10th mass school kidnapping since December in northwest Nigeria carried out by Islamist militants and more recently, criminal gangs. Nigerian authorities have attributed the kidnappings to what they call armed bandits seeking ransom payments.

COVID-19 Impact on Food in Food and Beverages Industry | Data Bridge Market Research

COVID-19 Impact on Food in Food and Beverages Industry

INTRODUCTION

The food and beverage industry includes restaurants, cafeterias, cafés, fast-food joints, pubs, delis, food manufacturing operations, catering businesses, food transportation services, and more. Work in this industry can range from transporting, packaging to preparing and serving food or beverages. In the food and beverage industry, every producer has experienced crises due to pandemic situations. The COVID-19 has mixed outcomes for food manufacturers in developing countries. The impact of COVID-19 on the food and beverage industry can be seen in the product portfolios offered by manufacturers in the food and beverage market.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON FOOD INDUSTRY

Food is a necessary part of life, providing us with the nutrients we need to survive; however, the pandemic has thrown the entire food system into disarray. Lack of adequate food, coupled with labor shortages, fragmented supply chains, and fear of health risks, could result in a lack of proper nutrition and food scarcity. As a result, the concerned authorities should take various preventative measures to mitigate the harmful effects on the food system.

Before the pandemic, Americans spent more money on dining out than they did on groceries. Consumers reassessed their behaviors, particularly their eating and buying habits, as the 2020 lockdowns brought this streak to a halt, posing new challenges for the food industry. Many people, for example, switched to fresher, healthier foods and reduced their consumption of processed meat. In the food industry, unprecedented demands have been imposed on retailers and suppliers. This results from extended lockdown in many regions and limitations on the movement of goods, causing out-of-home consumption to change in-home.

Manufacturers that use just-in-time inventory strategies have experienced stock shortages and have had to respond quickly. Other shifts in customer buying patterns have occurred in the last eight or nine months that usually take years to manifest. The adoption of online grocery shopping has accelerated, putting more pressure on the industry to reshape and handle distribution and manufacturing. Food producers have invested millions of dollars on personal protective equipment and other equipment to handle social distancing within factories, where they are also well-versed in handling production to strict hygiene and safety requirements. However, despite this investment, food factories worldwide have become hotspots for the virus, especially in sectors like meat, where employees work closely together.

Moreover, labor shortages and plant closures also hampered production at a variety of food manufacturers. Any of the improvements we saw in 2020 will only be temporary. On the other hand, some are here to stay and will have a major effect on food manufacturers in the coming years.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON FOOD SUPPLY CHAIN

Agricultural development, postharvest handling, packaging, distribution/retail/service, and consumption are the five stages of the food supply chain. In terms of food quality and protection, the food supply chain employs two processes. The first is focused on laws and regulations that use mandatory requirements that government agencies review. The second method is to focus on voluntary guidelines set by market laws or international organizations. Food employee health problems, personal hygiene, use of personal protective equipment such as helmets and gloves, sanitization of surfaces and working areas, safe handling/preparation/delivery of food, and maintaining social distance are all examples of safety measures to ensure the consistency of food flow in each point.

The supply chain affects not only manufacturers, distributors, and customers but also labor-intensive food processing plants. Many plants' production was decreased, stopped, or temporarily halted due to workers who were found to be COVID-19 positive.

COVID-19 has impacted the supply chain the most as due to the lockdown in the several countries the import and export from different nation become difficult and also the demand has reduced which has impacted the demand of the food products in the market. Several plant implementations have gone on hold, and also transportation of the food items from one nation to another is very difficult due to these situations.

STRATEGIC INITIATIVES DURING COVID-19

Food producers' unwillingness to discuss the changes that could arise over the next few years maybe because they would be the ones most affected. Because of the potential for job losses, there might be some reluctance to talk publicly.

Following the COVID-19, food producers are required to prioritize health and safety as well as worker well-being. Factories, where social distancing and other protective measures are more difficult to enforce, have become hotbeds for the virus, so factories are looking at various options to ensure worker safety while keeping production moving.

 The pandemic has forced all food manufacturers to reassess and introduce new processes to ensure that they remain operational while ensuring the health and safety of their workers. Various manufacturers have also recently introduced data management platforms that help track and test each employer's health and safety.

For Instance:-

·         Kerala, one of the first states in India to be affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, set a precedent for the rest of the world. Kerala's Chief Minister acted quickly to reduce the risk of hunger and malnutrition among the state's poorest residents

·         The government has declared a one-month free ration for all, which means that low-income families will receive 35 kilograms of rice

·         Kerala's government has gone above and beyond by distributing food kits containing 16 items specified in the below table worth INR 1000 to every household, regardless of income level, beginning on 8th April 2020

CONCLUSION

Today the spread of the novel coronavirus has triggered significant market damage across the world. Most businesses have stopped immediately, and the effect of the pandemic on food manufacture is not yet clear. The towns are closed down, and social distancing has become a modern norm.

The government, along with the private sector, can play a vital role in reviving the sector. The government is attending to the large financing needs arising from COVID-19; the private sector can take care of large investments and expertise required for the power sector in developing countries. Apart from this, strong engagement with governments and local stakeholders will continue to contribute significantly to the development of the industry.

Several manufactures closed the factory due to heavy losses. Companies are taking strategic action to increase the food demand in the market and increase their revenues. The government also introduces many polices and initiatives that would help manufacturers maintain stable growth in current dynamic situations.

Common Medical Billing Mistakes

It is estimated that doctors in the U.S. leave approximately $125 billion on the table each year due to poor billing practices. This is a stark reminder for physicians that providing optimal patient care is only one of the big factors in becoming successful in the industry.

2 of the most common factors contributing to a loss in profits:

Billing errors.

It is estimated that up to 80% of medical bills contain errors. Insurance companies are very strict on correct medical billing and coding practices, and even the smallest mistake can cause an insurance company to reject a medical billing claim. Doctors and hospital owners can contact us through HMS Medical Billing official website for handling all their Medical Billing-related issues.

This starts a long process requiring the doctor to fix the error, submit the claim a second time, and then wait (and hope) for the new claim to be accepted and processed. Medical billing errors can cause a doctor to have to wait several months or more before receiving payment for their services.

Failure to stay up-to-date on medical billing rules and regulations. These rules are constantly changing, requiring physicians and administrators to spend time and money on continuing education, software, or staff training to stay current, having a direct effect on the cash flow and profits of a practice.

Not only are the rules and regulations concerning medical billing changing, but they are also changing for health care as a whole. Updates and major changes administered with the Health Care Reform bill have increased the number of insured Americans by more than 30 million, so proper medical billing procedures are more important than ever.

Sourcing Medical Billing

With the economy in such a delicate state, medical practitioner’s patients affected as well as their privacy practices. Unemployment, along with higher co-pays and deductibles, results in patients that are unable to afford medical services. In turn, practices end up losing tons of money.

Medical practices now have to worry about insurance companies’ unique rules along with new and changing coding standards. With the burden of knowledge being so heavy, they’re losing money due to lost or ignored claims, denials, and underpayments.

Hiring a third party hold responsibility for billing services can sometimes be an effective way to increase revenue and gain control of the situation, but others feel that keeping operations in-house is the safest and most cost-effective bet.

Here are the arguments for both sides of the sourcing issue.

Outsourcing Medical Billing

Outsourcing medical billing sounds expensive upfront. However, when everything is added up, it may end up being more beneficial over time. Here is why:

Most billing services charge on a percent-basis, meaning they will only charge a percentage of the revenue they are bringing in for your company. With this in mind, they are going to be a lot more diligent about faster collections and resubmitting claims. Your current employees don’t have time to run through denied claims. A third-party professional is dedicated to this.

Employing staff for billing purposes can get expensive. Even to hire just one new person, a practice has to think about the costs of training, the employee’s salary, benefits, and taxes, as well as compensation for turnover. Visit HMS USA’s website and contact us for better Medical Billing and Credentialing experience.

Using an outside billing service eliminates the headache of training and familiarizing staff with your billing software, procedures, coding, etc. A billing service has already trained professionals, who only make money when you do.

The number of time doctors and nurses spends on billing and staffing concerns can be eliminated. This freed-up time can be used to care for patients – which is what you’re goal is in the first place.

Odds are, outsourced billing companies have more billing and coding expertise, and necessary resources. Even if you are still concerned with internally handling billing, an outside service can assist in providing proper software, such as EMR, packaged billing, and practice management.

Sometimes for an added fee, some companies provide appointment reminders, electronic eligibility verification, patient follow-up, coding, consulting, and data reporting. For one lump sum, you can outsource services that might have been costly to handle within your practice.

Certified billing companies are compliant with the latest health care laws, like HIPAA and the Health Care Reform bill, so your staff can rest assured that the law is being followed.

In-House Medical Billing

Many other practices with a manageable amount of patients find that handling all of the medical billing procedures in-house is more cost-effective. Here’s why:

Problems can be addressed immediately. With the billing staff only a few feet away in the same office, any problems that may arise with billing issues can be taken care of immediately and physicians will not have to wait to get a hold of a company, wait to get an investigation or wait to get a response.

Physicians can control the productivity levels at the office. If workers are not working efficiently or productivity needs to increase, adjustments can be made accordingly since they work directly for that office. With outsourcing, the employees answer to their own company’s rules, regulations, managers, and bosses.

Billing staff has direct communication with physicians and other administrators. If there is a question about medical coding, physicians’ notes, or patient information, the billing staff can have access to the medical professionals who can best address their questions right then and there.

Maintaining an up-to-date and proactive medical billing practice will help physicians and the health care industry as a whole operate at top potential and eliminate costly errors that inhibit their ability to provide the best patient care.

We provide the best Telemedicine Medical Billing services to physicians and hospital owners at HMS USA Medical billing. If you need our services, visit our website and reach out to us with your current problems.

Flying With CBD Oil: Whats Legal and Whats Not

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Consult your healthcare provider before use.

If you’re preparing to get on a plane, you probably have a lot of details to take care of before you’re ready to go. But between packing and arranging a ride to the airport, you may stop to wonder if flying with CBD Oil could get you in trouble during the security screening.

So is flying with CBD products on an airplane legal? The answer to that is yes — except when the answer’s no. It’s a little bit complicated, but don’t worry, we can outline the basics for you. Here’s what you need to know to stay on the right side of the law and still have the benefits of Hemp Oil on your trip.

Federal Cannabis Laws

The first line of legal barriers to navigate is the federal laws around cannabis. Until recently, federal law considered both hemp and marijuana to be in the same category under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). That broad group was referred to as “‘Marihuana’ (commonly referred to as ‘marijuana’),” and it was labeled a Schedule I controlled substance because it was considered to have a high potential for abuse.

Of course, it’s generally understood that any potential abuse has to do with THC’s psychoactive effects, a cannabinoid that is only found in significant amounts in marijuana. Whether you consider THC to be worthy of classification with other Schedule I drugs, such as heroin and LSD or not, the fact remains that hemp contains minuscule amounts of THC and cannot get you “high.”

This strange misclassification of hemp was remedied in the 2018 Farm Bill. While marijuana remains a Schedule I drug, hemp was removed from the CSA, as long as it doesn’t contain more than 0.3 percent THC by dry weight.

As the FDA states: “These changes include removing hemp from the CSA, which means that cannabis plants and derivatives that contain no more than 0.3 percent THC on a dry weight basis are no longer controlled substances under federal law.” If you want to read more about this classification, here’s where you can find the information on the FDA website.

The upshot of this change is that hemp is legal on the federal level, while marijuana is not. This is even true in states where marijuana has been legalized for medical or recreational use. The state may allow the use of marijuana; federal entities such as the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) do not.

The TSA and Cannabis

In a tricky bit of legal logic, because marijuana is illegal on the federal level, all CBD products that are derived from marijuana are also illegal. This is even true if the CBD product has less than 0.3% THC. So despite the fact that the distinction between hemp and marijuana was set at that conservatively low percentage of THC, if your CBD product was derived from marijuana, it might as well be heroin under federal law.

This doesn’t mean that the TSA is on the lookout for marijuana products. On the TSA website, the agency states: “TSA’s screening procedures are focused on security and are designed to detect potential threats to aviation and passengers. Accordingly, TSA security officers do not search for marijuana or other illegal drugs. Still, if any illegal substance is discovered during security screening, TSA will refer the matter to a law enforcement officer.”

So if a TSA agent comes across a marijuana product in your bag, they will turn the situation over to another law enforcement entity — most likely the local police force (the exception is if someone is suspected of smuggling drugs, which would probably be referred to a federal agency).

Hemp, on the other hand, is no longer a controlled substance. If a TSA agent finds Hemp Oil in your bag, there’s no reason for them to flag it. But because of the difference between how CBD products from marijuana are treated and how hemp products are treated, it’s important that you make it clear that what you have is a legal product. We’ll get back to that in a minute.

Know the Laws Where You're Going

Although hemp-derived CBD is legal in every state in the country, some states have additional requirements. Different states have different requirements, including varying designations of THC levels that are allowed. These laws are changing fast, so be sure to take a moment to research the rules where you’re going.

If you’re flying with CBD outside the country, it’s even more important to research the legal issues around hemp. Most of the world has come to the same conclusion as the 2018 Farm Bill, that hemp is not a dangerous drug. However, there are some countries that still have strict laws around any kind of cannabis product, particularly in Asia. Do your research and err on the side of caution.

Once you’re confident that your Hemp Oil meets the requirements of the laws in your intended destination, you can plan for your trip without worry. But to be sure that you are in the clear, you’ll want to make certain you can prove that the Hemp Oil you have is fully legal.

Stay On the Safe Side

Hemp Oil is legal nation-wide, and in most of the world, so there’s no reason you should have to worry about being charged with a crime. However, you can follow a few easy steps to ensure you won’t run into problems. After all, while the law is on your side, it’s always helpful to be able to prove to the authorities that you’re in the right to avoid any misunderstanding.

First, carry your CBD product in its original packaging. The bottle should clearly state that it’s derived from hemp. Our packaging describes our products as containing Full-Spectrum Hemp Oil, not only because that’s legally unambiguous, but because it reflects the fact that we value the whole hemp plant. We developed our unique LipidTrans

Infusion Process to preserve as many of the beneficial compounds in hemp as possible. CBD is a powerful component, but it is only part of what the plant has to offer. For more information on some of the different bioactive compounds in hemp and the complex interplay between them, known as the True Entourage Effect, here’s a post that goes into it in more depth.

Packaging that states your product is hemp-derived should be sufficient to clear up any questions. Still, for another layer of protection, it’s helpful to carry a copy of the Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for it. If a company doesn’t provide these detailed third party testing results that outline the makeup of their product, find another company to buy from. Unfortunately, CBD’s popularity has led to a rise in less reputable sources that have popped up to cash in on the public interest. A CoA gives you peace of mind, knowing that what they claim in the product is actually there, without any extra surprises.

For Synchronicity products, you can find the CoA for your Hemp Oil by going to this page. Simply type the product lot number into the box, and it will bring up the analysis for your Hemp Oil. You can find the lot number on your Full-Spectrum Hemp Oil product’s label or box. Print out this test report, which will outline the amount of THC in the product and other cannabinoids, terpenes, and more. This will give you more than enough information to demonstrate to a TSA official that your Hemp Oil is well within the bounds of the law.

Flying Without Anxiety

Hopefully, all this information about the laws around flying with CBD and Hemp Oil will ease any concerns you may have about legal issues at the airport. Even so, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re feeling completely calm about your trip. A fear of flying is fairly common among travelers. On top of that, you can find yourself worrying about things like missing your flight, remembering to pack what you need, and even spending time with family. Altogether, these concerns can ramp up basic anxiety even more.

If you’re preparing to go into a situation that is likely to cause you significant stress, it’s often helpful to come up with a plan ahead of time. This can help you have solutions on hand for when you’re upset and having trouble thinking constructively. On top of that, it can also help you feel empowered because you’re prepared to care for yourself. One tool you could use is Hemp Oil, which many people find is helpful when managing anxiety. For a deeper look at some of Hemp Oil and mood mechanisms, click here for a post that explores the science.

If you decide to use Hemp Oil to support a peaceful mood through your trip, you’ll want to figure out two things: when you will benefit the most from a dose and what method you want to use.

Spend some time thinking about the situations that are the most difficult for you. If your biggest worry is going through security screening or the moment the plane takes off, simply plan to take your Hemp Oil at the right time to experience its effects when you need it. That timing depends on which product you’re using.

Capsules are a convenient way to toss some Hemp Oil in a bag, but remember that they will need about an hour for your body to absorb them when you take them. On the other hand, the effect of Hemp Oil Tincture can be felt right away. If you know when you’re most likely to benefit from some mood support, set a reminder on your phone to take a capsule ahead of time.  A tincture can be used whenever the need arises.

Some people find it helpful in particularly stressful situations to have both methods of delivery available. That way, they can take the capsules on a regular schedule in order to maintain a steady baseline of Hemp Oil, then add a boost of tincture if needed. But be sure to spend some time getting used to Hemp Oil and how it affects you ahead of time. You don’t want to try it for the first time in an unfamiliar situation.

Another common complaint about travel is sleep disruption. Whether you toss and turn the night before you leave, worrying about all the details, or you simply can’t get comfortable sleeping away from home, a lack of sleep can leave you exhausted, irritable, and even more vulnerable to illness. Some people find Hemp Oil helpful in getting better sleep as well. A dose before bedtime may help you get the sleep you’re craving. Again, try it before your trip, so you know what to expect.

To give you a little extra peace of mind on your trip, we recommend bringing along our Hand Sanitizer with Full-Spectrum Hemp Oil and Thieves Oil. Along with other careful sanitation measures, it can provide another layer of protection to strengthen your defense against the germs you may encounter as you travel.

For years, people thought of hemp and marijuana as being the same thing, and that led to an irrational mistrust of hemp. Fortunately, the important difference between the two plants is starting to be understood more clearly. That change in perception has even extended to our nation’s laws, making hemp-derived products a legal option. As you get ready to head to the airport, you can have a little extra peace of mind, knowing that you can take your Hemp Oil with you without worry.

Those of us here at Synchronicity

are committed to providing the finest Full-Spectrum Hemp Oil you can buy. Our unique LipidTrans

Infusion Process produces an exceptionally bioavailable Hemp Oil. Many of our customers report that their difference between using our Hemp Oil and lower quality CBD products is remarkable.

We are passionate about hemp and what our products have to offer. If you have any questions about our products, feel free to contact us.
