A high point of our time in southern Alberta, Canada – Patheos

Posted: July 21, 2022 at 1:02 pm

One of the many highlights of our time here in southern Alberta has been our opportunity to participate in a session at the Cardston Alberta Temple on Saturday. Another temple patron whom I did not know approached me and requested that I take one of his family names through, so I represented one Mills Robinson, who passed away on 2 April 1900.

This is the second time that my wife and I have attended the temple in Cardston, but the first time in many years. Doing so had special personal meaning for both of us. For me, there were two particular reasons: First of all, I love the design of it. As I mentioned at the opening of my Cardston fireside yesterday evening, when I was quite young, I dreamed of being an architect. Im still exceptionally taken by beautiful buildings. As I said last night, the only thing that really prevented me from pursuing a career in architecture was my utter and absolute lack of even the slightest trace of visual talent. I cant draw. Not at all. And every time that I sat down, inspired by a striking building that I had just seen to sketch my own, my creation emerged looking like a box. Or, if I were really on a roll, it looked like a box on a box. Ive since realized, of course, that absence of talent hasnt prevented quite a few architects from having lucrative careers. But it was enough to dissuade me.

Still, though, I love beautiful buildings. And one of my architect heroes is the great Frank Lloyd Wright. (Many years before I realized that Ayn Rands fictional character Howard Roark is, in some regards, a thinly veiled Frank Lloyd Wright, I read and loved her novel The Fountainhead. Ive since come to a much lower opinion of Ayn Rand than I held as a teenager, and I feel that I need someday to re-read the novel. Im curious to see whether Ill still like it.) Anyway, as Ive said here before, the Cardston Alberta Temple which was designed by the, to me, absolutely great Latter-day Saint architectural firm of Pope & Burton (see the Wikipedia articles on Harold W. Burton and Hyrum Pope) is a magnificent exemplar of Frank Lloyd Wrights Prairie Style. Of course, its dedicated to a form of service that would not only have been pure nonsense to Ayn Rand but complete anathema to her.

Another part of my fascination for the Cardston Alberta Temple is its longtime association with Edward James Wood. When I was a teenager, I believe, I read about a number of remarkable spiritual experiences that he had received, and Ive always wanted to learn more about him. In fact, I went into the Cardston Bookstore on Saturday to see whether they had anything about Brother Wood. I bought a history of the temple in Cardston (written by a son of President Wood), but, although they looked for it, it appears that they had just sold their one used copy of E. J. Woods autobiography. I was disappointed.

My wife has a personal connection to the Cardston Alberta Temple. Her German-born maternal grandfather, who went on to have a lengthy career as a skilled cabinet maker and woodworker and whom I was privileged to come to know for a number of years at the end of his long life, apprenticed as a nineteen-year-old on the temple, which is justly famous for its beautiful interior woodwork. We dont know exactly where he served in the project; given his young age, he probably didnt take a leading role on any of the prominent features. But sitting in the unique and elegant dark-wood celestial room after our temple session was complete was an emotional experience for my wife as she thought of her grandfather.

After we were done, I brazenly asked a counselor in the temple presidency whether we might look in on the baptistry. I was prepared for a No, since, as I told him, I realize perfectly well that temples arent built to be tourist attractions. But he answered with an easy Yes, and deputized one of the other temple workers to take us down. One we were down in the baptistry which, in perfect symbolism, is precisely at the center of the temple and exactly below the celestial room the baptistry coordinators, who were in a bit of a temporary lull for a few minutes, took time to tell us about the history and particular features of that beautiful space. (They even knew about the rancher whose oxen had served as the models for the sculpted oxen supporting the baptismal font; I think that he was a relative of one of them.)

And then, when we exited the temple (past the sculpted relief of the New Testament woman at the well by Torlief Knaphus that was once exterior to the temple but is now enclosed within its annex), we stopped off at the visitors center, where a kindly local senior missionary couple spoke with us about the history of Cardston and its stunning temple, and showed us historical photographs of both. The photographs made it even more remarkable to me that so small a town far smaller still in the early 1900s is blessed with such a sacred structure and so striking an architectural monument.

In our conversation with the senior missionaries in the visitors center, the thought came up that, surely, among the reasons for the construction of the temple in Cardston was the fact that the Latter-day Saints who settled southern Alberta had come here because they had been sent by the Church. They didnt come for land or wealth, but because they were faithful and obedient. And now they were hundreds and hundreds of miles from the nearest temple, unable to do work on behalf of their kindred dead, unable to receive the ordinances of the temple without a lengthy and arduous journey. I know that the similar sacrifices of the Saints in Colonia Juarez, Mexico, were on the mind of President Gordon B. Hinckley when the revelation came to him that launched the construction of very small temples including one in Colonia Juarez itself immediately after his visit there.

I have loved being here among the Latter-day Saints in Alberta. My wife and I are already talking about coming back next year, if we can, for the centennial of the Cardston Alberta Temple. I expect that there will be a celebration.

The Top 10 Books Billionaires Recommend – Forbes

Posted: at 1:01 pm

What do billionaires read? As theyre making their plans, building their companies and investing their money, what are the books they carry around, gift to friends, and dip into when they have a moment to spare? Surely these books hold the answers to how we too can become billionaires, or at least successful by our own measure.

The top 10 books billionaires recommend

Richard Reis and Anurag Ramdasan are founders of Most Recommended Books, a simple site that curates the most recommended books of entrepreneurs, athletes, and people of note in a variety of fields. Reis crunched the numbers to work out which books that billionaires most often recommended and discovered the top ten.

Here are the top ten books that billionaires recommend, from data collated by Most Recommended Books.

Coming in top place and recommended by 11 billionaires on Most Recommended Books; Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Daniel Ek, Keith Rabois, Kishore Biyani, Ray Dalio, Reid Hoffman, Richard Branson, Vinod Khosla, Melinda Gates and Changpeng Zhao. From Wikipedia, Harari sees the natural sciences as setting the limits of possibility for human activity and sees the social sciences as shaping what happens within those bounds. Sapiens has sold more than twelve million copies and on Goodreads the book is rated 4.4 out of 5 according to more than 45,000 reviews.

Just behind the top spot and recommended by 10 billionaires, including Drew Houston, Dustin Moskovitz, Howard Marks and Jack Dorsey, Principles has sold nearly one million copies and was named Amazons business book of 2017. Billionaires agree that its good. In the book, hedge fund manager Dalio shares principles he developed while running Bridgewater Associates, sparked by receiving a frank memo from his top lieutenants in 1993 concerning his interpersonal performance as a manager. Dalio originally published a shorter version of Principles online in 2011, where it received over three million downloads.

In third place and recommended by 9 billionaires including Brian Armstrong, Brian Chesky, Larry Ellison and Ron Conway, High Output Management has over 800 reviews on Goodreads and an average rating of 4.3. The book is a crash course for middle managers by the former Intel CEO, with a foreword by Ben Horowitz. The books blurb describes it as a legendary business book and Silicon Valley staple. Marc Andreessen said, "Andy exemplifies the best of Silicon Valley. Andy built the model for what a high-quality Silicon Valley company could be."

Recommended by 8 billionaires, this time including Elon Musk, Ev Williams, Peter Thiel and Mark Cuban, Atlas Shrugged is a 1957 novel depicting a dystopian United States in which private businesses suffer under increasingly burdensome laws and regulations. According to Wikipedia, Rand's stated goal for writing the novel was "to show how desperately the world needs prime movers and how viciously it treats them" and to portray "what happens to the world without them". As of 2019 the novel had sold 9 million copies.

Recommended by 7 billionaires including Keith Rabois, Larry Page, Peter Thiel and Mark Zuckerberg, The Hard Thing About Hard Things deals with the trials and tribulations that Ben Horowitz encountered during his career as founder CEO to VC at Andreessen Horowitz in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Horowitz differentiates between what is right and what is easy and has been described as one of Silicon Valley's most respected and experienced entrepreneurs, famously funny and straight-talking. From over 3,000 reviews on Goodreads, including one which says, This is one of the best books youll ever read on entrepreneurship and being a CEO. the books average rating is 4.23.

The top 10 books billionaires recommend

Bill Gates says that Charlie Munger is truly the broadest thinker I have ever encountered and Drew Houston of Dropbox said Poor Charlies Almanack was one of the best books he had ever read.

The books subtitle is the lightning-fast path to building massively valuable companies and as Hoffman explains, Blitzscaling is what you do when you need to grow really, really quickly.

Only the Paranoid Survive is recommended by Bill Gates, Charlie Munger, Marc Andreessen, Steve Jobs, Vinod Khosla and Jamie Dimon and follows the story of Intel under Groves leadership as CEO and president.

Over 8,000 Goodreads reviews give the book an average of 3.96 stars. Famous management consultant Peter Drucker said, "This terrific book is dangerousIt will make people think."

Written by a Harvard professor and business professional, this book expands on the concept of disruptive technologies, a term Christensen coined in a 1995 article called Disruptive Technologies: Catching the Wave.

Marijuana, hemp, CBD and delta-8 in Texas: whats legal and whats not – The Texas Tribune

Posted: at 12:58 pm

There are too many unanswered questions to make definitive claims about whether cannabis-derived products are safe or not, though the FDA says its currently working to gather more information about the safety of cannabis use. The Texas Medical Association has also called for more comprehensive study about the safety of cannabis-derived products and their efficacy as a medical treatment.

The Mayo Clinic, a medical nonprofit, writes that medical marijuana and CBD products are generally safe and well tolerated, and there is some evidence to show that it may treat the symptoms of specific diseases, such as multiple sclerosis.

However, any cannabis-derived products besides Epidiolex, Marinol, Syndros or Cesamet are not FDA-approved or evaluated to treat any disease or condition. The FDA warns they may also interact with other medications, leading to reduced efficacy or adverse side effects. It may also worsen the symptoms of mental health conditions, such as depression or bipolar disorder, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Cannabis-derived products may also cause side effects of their own, especially when used in large amounts. The FDA cautions that CBD products can cause liver damage, changes in mood and appetite and may impact fertility. There have also been reports of delta-8 products causing hallucinations, vomiting and loss of consciousness. In September 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a health advisory warning that it had observed an increase in health emergencies associated with delta-8 usage as the drug became more popular. Many of the cases involved children being exposed to the drug, which is often sold in gummy and other candy forms.

Another safety concern is the potential contamination of non-FDA-approved products. Some CBD and delta-8 products can contain unsafe levels of household chemicals and other contaminants, such as heavy metals and pesticides. Some products labeled as CBD have also been found to contain THC, according to the Mayo Clinic. In April 2021, the U.S. Cannabis Council, a coalition of individuals, organizations and businesses advocating for the legalization of cannabis, tested 16 samples of delta-8 products sourced from across the country, including Texas. The testing, though limited, found that each of the products tested contained an illegal amount of THC, and several of the products contained copper, nickel and other toxic heavy metals.

The lack of a standardized formula is in part what makes it difficult to determine the general safety of using cannabis-derived products. Because THC and CBD concentration can vary so widely in product to product, it makes it hard to conduct reproducible trials on the effectiveness of the drug because it's difficult to get a consistent dose every time, according to Texas-based neurologist Sara Austin.

In pharmaceutical-grade products such as Epidiolex, the FDA-approved seizure medicine, the dosage can be standardized across all products and tested in clinical trials. The same isnt true of medical marijuana in Texas, in which case its up to individual doctors to decide how much to prescribe based on recommendation, rather than scientific data, Austin said.

You should not use THC or CBD products if youre planning to drive. CBD can cause sleepiness or drowsiness, according to the FDA, and can impair your ability to drive.

In 2019, the U.S. Surgeon General also cautioned that marijuana usage during pregnancy and breastfeeding can disrupt fetal brain development and may lead to lower birth weight.

CBD As Part Of A Daily Nutrition Routine – Benzinga – Benzinga

Posted: at 12:58 pm

This article was originally published on Leafreport and appears here with permission.

CBD is experiencing rapid growth and is expected to grow toover 20%of the global vitamin and dietary supplements market by 2027from the current 4% to over 20% in 5 years!!That is some growth curve!

But should CBD oil be included as part of your dailynutritionroutine? Or should it be mainly used to support overall health and wellness and to address specific health issues?

The answer to that question may be yesCBD oil contains both nutritional value and value as a wellness supplement that can help you achieve overall health and wellness. First, lets look at the purely nutritional value of CBD oil.

Nutrient levels such as proteins, vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids, are higher in hemp oil as compared to CBD oil. However, based on how the CBD is extracted, some of the same nutrients may be found in CBD oil as well. Since there is no specific data published about thenutritionalcontent of CDB oils

CBD is a fat-soluble substance, so some of the most important nutrients in CBD oil are mono- and polyunsaturated fats.

These mono- and poly-unsaturated fats include omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 fats that are considered to be important for healthy responses to inflammation and a healthy nervous systemAND to heart and overall health too! Though the specific levels of omega fats may vary a bit, in general, hemp seed oil contains these fats in healthy amounts and ratios (3:1 omega-6 to omega-3).

Broad and full spectrum CBD oils differ in the THC contentfull spectrum CBD oil may contain up to 0.3% THC.

But, both broad and full spectrum CBD oils will likely contain some of the omega-3, -6 and -9 fats. Both will also likely contain some terpenes and flavonoids.

Depending on the extraction process used, CBD oils will alsocontainproteins, vitamins, and minerals, though likely in loweramountsas compared to say, hemp seed oil.,The vitamins that may be found in CBD oil include Vitamin C, and B-complex vitamins including thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, and folates along with Vitamins A, D and E. They are not found at very high levels, but enough to help with your vitamin needs. Depending on the purification process used, there may be some minerals as wellincluding iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, copper, manganese, and sodium.

While the nutrient levels in purified CBD oil are relatively low, CBD oil IS high in (of course) CBD as well as other cannabinoidsand we are just beginning to learn about the benefits of other cannabinoids. CBD oil also contains terpenes and flavonoids. Again, we are just beginning to learn about the benefits of terpenes, many of which appear to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antidepressant, and neuroprotective actions. Flavonoids in CBD oil function as antioxidants and may help to prevent damage to cells and tissues.

Taking CBD oil as a daily routine may help control inflammation, may prove to protect your nervous system and may be useful in keeping your mood healthy and stable. It may also help you sleep better andlargely because of the healthy fats it contains, helps keep your heart healthy too!

People have asked a number of questions regarding CBD as a part of your nutritional routine. Here are a few of those questions answered:

Should CBD be a part of your daily nutrition routine?

the amounts of vital nutrients found in hemp seed oil as compared to CBD oil, if you are looking for nutritional support, hemp seed oil is probably a better choice.

are the benefits of taking CBD daily?

of the conditions or issues that people use CBD for are chronic as opposed to the acute meaning they have been a problem for some time and may last a long time.

Are there any surprising long-term health advantages of taking CBD daily?

We dont really have loads of data on this question. One recentstudy(using a type of nematode or roundworm, Caenorhabditis elegans) found no long-term toxicity from daily CBD. The same study showed that the roundworms experienced an increased life span (by 18%) and increased motility while aging, but it would be premature to extrapolate this to human health. We DO know that there appear to be few adverse effects in using CBD long termand if you are sleeping better or dealing better with life, then the balance of thinking is that long-term use can benefit health.

How much CBD should you take daily?

This is a very individual answer because it truly appears to depend on the person taking CBD and the reasons why they are taking CBD.

Is there a better time of the day to take CBD? If so, what time and why?

It all depends on what you are taking CBD for.

CBD use is expected to grow in the next few years. Is it possible that this use can grow even more rapidly if people use CBD to help maintain health and wellness rather than for a specific condition?

YesCBD use is becoming more accepted and more mainstream. This will likely mean that even more people will find CBD useful for both specific conditions and for overall health and wellness.

Does CBD work with other nutritional supplements? Are there examples of vitamins you should or shouldnt take with CBD?

CBD is fat solubleso if you are taking other vitamins with the CBD oil, while there are no real known restrictions, taking fat-soluble vitamins like Vitamins A, D, E and K with the CBD would likely be more effective. There do not appear to be any vitamins that should not be taken with CBD.

Global Cannabis Market to Reach $197.75 billion Thanks to Increasing Legalization and Growing Use for Recreational Applications – Yahoo Finance

Posted: at 12:58 pm

SkyQuest Technology Consulting Pvt. Ltd.

Global cannabis market is valued at USD 28.06 billion in 2021 and is projected to attain a market size of 197.75 billion by 2028 at a CAGR of 32.04% during the forecast period, 20222028.

Westford, USA, July 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cannabis has been used for centuries for its medicinal and psychoactive properties. The active ingredient in cannabis is THC, which is responsible for the plant's mind-altering effects. In recent years, there has been a growing demand for and acceptance of cannabis around the globe. In the United States cannabis market, cannabis was legalized for medicinal use in some states starting in 1996. Since then, more and more states have legalized medical and/or recreational cannabis use. As of 2018, 29 states plus Washington D.C. have legalized medical cannabis, while 9 states plus Washington D.C. have legalized recreational cannabis use. This trend is expected to continue as public opinion shifts in favor of legalization.

Internationally, Canada became the second country after Uruguay to fully legalize marijuana when it passed the Cannabis Act in 2018.

Recreational Use to Continue Leading Cannabis Market

There is no denying that a lot of people utilize cannabis for recreational purposes - to unwind, relax, and experience the effects of this product as it has been negated. It does have some health benefits overall as well. The recreational cannabis market continues to be the leading segment of the cannabis industry, with states like California and Colorado leading the charge. This growth is largely due to the legalization of recreational cannabis in many countries, as well as an increasing acceptance of cannabis for medicinal use. In fact, according to SkyQuest Technology, 4 out of 10 adults in the United States believe that marijuana can help treat a variety of medical conditions. This increased acceptance has led to a rise in demand for CBD products and products that contain THC.

While this cannabis market growth is impressive, it's not without its challenges. For example, there are still a lot of people who are unfamiliar with the benefits of cannabis and its uses. This has created a shortage of cultivators and manufacturers who can produce high-quality products. Additionally, there are still a lot of restrictions on how and where recreational marijuana can be used, which is hampering its widespread adoption.

Story continues

Nevertheless, the recreational cannabis market is forecast to continue growing at a rapid pace thanks to its many medicinal benefits.

US states are legalizing marijuana at a rapid pace, with more than half of Americans now living in a state where some form of cannabis is legal. This has led to an increase in demand for products like CBD oil, which is non-psychoactive and can be used to treat various conditions without getting high.

Legalization of Cannabis has Sparked health concerns in Thailand, Germany

Thailand is one of the many countries that has grappled with how to address the legalization of cannabis. In March 2021, the Thai government announced that it would legalize and regulate the cultivation, sale, and use of cannabis for medical purposes. However, this announcement has sparked a number of health concerns in Thailand, as there is still little information about the effects of cannabis on the human body. For example, the Thai Ministry of Public Health has not released any scientific studies that investigate the potential health risks associated with cannabis use.

Germany is another country in the global cannabis market that is grappling with how to address the legalization of cannabis. In January, Germany became the first country in Europe to legalize cannabis for recreational use. However, this decision has generated a number of health concerns in Germany, as there is still little information about the effects of cannabis on the human body. For example, there are no scientific studies that investigate the potential health risks associated with cannabis use. In fact, many German officials believe that there are no safe levels of THC consumption. As a result, many Germans are worried about the long-term health consequences of using cannabis.

Funding and Revenue Growth Opportunities in Cannabis Market

When it comes to the future of cannabis, there are plenty of opportunities to be tapped into. From funding and revenue growth to the potential for new product innovations, the future looks bright for this budding industry!

Hemp Seed Oil Vs. CBD Oil: What’s The Difference? Forbes Health – Forbes

Posted: at 12:58 pm

CBD is one of the most abundant active constituents of the cannabis plant. Its a non-psychoactive isomer of THCmeaning it wont result in the intoxicating, high sensation. Its derived from the leaves, stalks and flowers of hemp and cannabis plants, but as the legality of cannabis is still controversial in some places, most CBD oils are extracted from hemp plants.

CBD is a plant compound found in cannabis sativaboth hemp and cannabis, says Yvonne Perez Emerson, an herbalist and the founder of Make and Mary, a CBD boutique in Portland, Oregon. There are thought to be at least 100 unique compounds found in hemp known as cannabinoids, of which CBD is the second most abundant. Cannabinoids are chemical compounds that interact with the bodys central regulatory system (endocannabinoid system), which manages the bodys homeostasis (physiological balance) among bodily processes such as appetite, mood, memory, sleep, and immune system functions, adds Emerson.

They can be either consumed as phytocannabinoids found intrinsically within CBD products or produced naturally by the body (endocannabinoids). When ingested, CBD oil can help the brain and body by interacting with the endocannabinoid system and neurotransmitters that impact inflammation, pain, mood regulation and stress response.

CBD oil is made from an extraction, often using carbon dioxide, that creates nutrient-dense products with high cannabinoid content.

CBD oil is made by adding the hemp extract to a carrier oil, says Emerson. The most common carrier oil used with CBD is medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil, which is made from coconuts. Vegetable oil, sunflower oil, almond oil and olive oil can also be used as carriers.

Once a carrier oil has been paired, the focus shifts to potency, which determines the products strength based on the amount of CBD content present. A formulation needs to be calculated by what percentage you want the dosage or potency of the end product to be. This depends on the potency of the raw material first, continues Emerson.

When the desired potency is reached, additional ingredients can be added to the oil depending on the use for which its intended. For example, Emersons products include other plant-based materials, such as rose hip seed oil and jojoba oil, that address specific concerns like inflammation or skin hydration.

Many products contain CBD oil, from topical pain relieving creams to tinctures or gummies used to improve sleep or anxiety. Even bubbly drinks, pet products and beauty products are jumping on the CBD wave.

Experts find CBD oil has an array of health benefits. Put simply, CBD restores homeostasis (the bodys natural balance), says Emerson. It works in the endocannabinoid system by activating two of its core receptors (known as CB1 and CB2), which regulate mood, temperature, cognitive function and muscle repair.

Although more research is needed, preliminary studies show that CBD oil may also be used to treat or improve the following areas:

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns of several potential risks when using CBD in any form, including:

More research into the potential side effects of CBD is needed, especially pertaining to long-term impacts of use over a sustained period of time, what dosage triggers risks, how consumption methods (eating, smoking or topical application) impact effects, CBDs effect on a developing fetus or a breastfed newborn, and how CBD impacts a developing brain, such as in children.

Pure, Premium, Powerful CBD

FAB CBDs products are made from organically grown, lab tested, Colorado hemp. Their range of products include CBD oils, gummies, topical CBD cream, dog treats and more.

The cannabis sativa plant species is utilized for a wide variety of benefits and byproducts, which vary depending upon the variety of plant and what specific part of the plant is used. If looking for ways to boost your physical health and omega intake, consider hemp seed oil and its research-backed benefits. If youre in need of pain relief or something to help with anxiety or depression, speak with your health care provider about whether CBD oil is the right choice for your health needs.

Will Saints Row 2022 have censorship? Here’s what we know – Win.gg

Posted: at 12:57 pm

Kenneth Williams July 17, 2022 11:27 am

Saints Row is coming back in 2022, but censorship could mean the disappearance of some of the franchises most famous features.

When Grand Theft Auto reimagined itself as a gritty and more realistic simulation in GTA IV, rival urban sandbox Saints Row took the opportunity to become the wacky and wild alternative. Starting from the third game onwards, the series incorporated more adult humor and ridiculous scenarios into the mix. While the 2022 Saints Row reboot will keep most of the franchises whimsical touches intact, some elements could be on the chopping block for foreign releases.

Saints Row wasnt alone in featuring adult humor and situations. But Saints Rows unique take was focused more on shock factor. The Third quickly gained online notoriety after the reveal of a giant adult toy being used as a melee weapon. In fact, the weapon is so iconic that its return in the reboot has already been confirmed.

But the dildo bat wont necessarily be present in every release of the game. In 2022, more countries that ever have censorship laws that could affect the new Saints Row. In fact, the game may not even be released in some regions due to its potentially obscene content. Heres a brief history of how previous games have been censored and what it means for the reboot.

While adult humor and a certain purple weapon are confirmed for inclusion, Saints Row 2022 will most likely have censorship in some countries, and it wont have all of the same adult themes as did previous iterations of the series.

The game will still release in most countries. Adult content from Saints Row The Third was censored or replaced in Germany, Japan, and some other countries that oppose sexual humor in video games. The Third was even outright banned in the United Arab Emirates. The constant presence of drugs and alcohol may have contributed as well, in some instances.

For countries where Saints Row was released with censorship, the Japanese version used a different model for adult toy weapons. It also prevented the player from fully undressing. The German version took a more philosophical approach, removing money drops and the ability to be used as a human shield from civilians.

For gamers in countries that limit media, Saints Row should still release with notable changes. As for the main release, it will still have much of the adult humor with more modern sensibilities. The game will probably not feature many jokes about race or gender, and it looks as though some elements of sexuality have been reduced. Beating people to death with a giant dildo is still on the table, though.
