Texts give insight into feds’ communications strategy before ‘Freedom Convoy’ arrival
Texts give insight into feds’ communications strategy before ‘Freedom Convoy’ arrivalOTTAWA — Newly released text messages show how the federal government was planning its communications strategy before the arrival of "Freedom Convoy" protesters in Ottawa back in late January. “I think there could be an opportunity to get in on this growing narrative of the truckers,” the text said. Those comments helped galvanize protesters, according to police intelligence reports, and being part of the “fringe minority” soon became a point of pride among protesters in Ottawa. The Public Order Emergency Commission is tasked with determining whether the government was justified in triggering the never-before-used legislation. It is holding public hearings in Ottawa until Nov. 25.

Week 9 Quarterback & Tight End NFL Waiver Wire Pickups: Sam Ehlinger Solid In Debut, Isaiah Likely Breaks Out!
Week 9 Quarterback & Tight End NFL Waiver Wire Pickups: Sam Ehlinger Solid In Debut, Isaiah Likely Breaks Out! Now into the second half of the 2022-23 NFL season, it couldn’t get much harder to find value at the quarterback and tight end positions. While is the most valuable fantasy player at the tight end position for the Saints, he isn’t the prototypical tight end that Juwan Johnson is. He’s certainly rediscovering himself as a tight end in Jacksonville after struggling with the Giants over the last few seasons. Regardless, Engram, like Isaiah Likely, is a tight end who’s importance to his team has only increased since the season began.

Does cannabis work as a sleep aid? We asked experts about three popular remedies
There is evidence, however, that certain sleep aids might be helpful for specific problems. Here is their advice on three of the most popular sleep aids. Our experts warn that the amount of melatonin can vary from brand to brand and advise starting at three milligrams. “But we can’t say if the cannabis had a direct effect on their ‘sleep architecture,’” he added. As a result, some cannabis companies are adding “cannabinol” (CBN) to CBD oil and marketing it as a specially sleep-related cannabis project.

feedback – By Common Consent, a Mormon Blog
bySeveral years ago, while we were waiting for the church to build a building in downtown Chicago, my ward met in a rented public school on Sundays. Primary and adult classes met in classrooms, some with class pets you could watch if the lesson was less-than-completely interesting. And kids could play on the playground out back once church was over (and—shhh!—sometimes when their primary class took them out). But, like many Chicago public schools, this school didn’t have air conditioning. (Also, those few weeks of heat tend to be in the summer, when school’s not in session.)
