Tech companies should check for any interlocking governance with other companies.
Life sciences companies are more likely to fit under many of the available exceptions.
Over the last several weeks, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice ("DOJ") has sent letters to numerous companies, including several technology companies, alleging violations of Section 8 of the Clayton Act ("Section 8"). Citing publicly available information, the letters identify alleged violations based on private equity-affiliated representation on the boards of competing companies. The letters warn that the DOJ is considering filing a lawsuit and ask the recipients to contact the DOJ to explore the possibility of resolution prior to a lawsuit.
What does Section 8 prohibit?
Section 8 prohibits individuals or entities from serving simultaneously as a director or officer of any two corporations that are competitors, a situation that is referred to as an "interlocking directorate." Note that the DOJ takes the position that Section 8 prohibits a single entity (e.g., a private equity firm or venture capital fund) from appointing two people affiliated with the same PE firm or VC fund to sit as its representatives as officers or directors of competing companies.
Who is a Competitor?
For purposes of Section 8, corporations are competitors if an agreement between them to eliminate competition would violate the antitrust laws. Section 8 is a strict liability prohibition, meaning that a violation does not require any harm to competition. In technology verticals, the DOJ takes a broad view of competitive overlap between companies, and likely would consider "potential" competition as being sufficient.
By contrast, in life sciences, it is harder for the agencies to label companies as competitors—even in the same therapeutic area—if they are focused on different technologies, patient sub-populations, route of administration with divergent preclinical or clinical efficacy, and safety profiles because, in many cases, different products in the same therapeutic area are complements, not competitors.
What are the consequences of an investigation?
Section 8 is rarely enforced partly because the only remedy available to plaintiffs for a Section 8 violation is injunctive relief—if the DOJ or FTC were to bring and win a Section 8 lawsuit, the companies would be required to eliminate the interlocking directorate by having officers or directors resign from one or both of the companies at issue. Historically, nearly all of the DOJ and FTC Section 8 enforcement actions have arisen in the context of merger investigations under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. The enforcement letters that the DOJ has sent recently, however, are based on publicly available information (e.g., Securities and Exchange Commissions filings) and unrelated to merger investigations. These letters therefore represent a significant expansion of the DOJ's Section 8 enforcement.
One of the key risks of a Section 8 investigation is that it could expand into an investigation under Section 1 of the Sherman Act, which is likely to have major legal and financial ramifications for a company. The purpose of Section 8 is to prevent coordination and the unlawful sharing of competitively sensitive information between competitors, and a Section 8 violation could thus lead DOJ to open an investigation into coordination and information sharing under Section 1 of the Sherman Act.
Exemptions Based on Revenue
There are several de minimis exemptions to Section 8 to keep in mind. Section 8 does not apply if any of the following is true:
- Either corporation's competitive sales are less than $4,103,400 (an annually adjusted figure)
- Either corporation's competitive sales are less than 2% of that corporation's total sales
- Each corporation's competitive sales are less than 4% of its total sales
In other words, for pre-revenue innovative companies, the applicability of Section 8 might be far in the future, especially in life sciences where the pre-revenue phase often can be more than a decade. There is also a one year grace period, meaning interlocks are not a violation if less than one year has passed since the event that created the interlocking directorate.
Client Guidance
Although the DOJ's enforcement effort appears targeted at private equity firms and the practice of nominating directors across potentially competitive companies, under Section 8 an issuer on which an interlocking board member sits is also implicated in the violation. As mentioned above, we are aware of a number of technology companies with private equity-nominated directors that have been contacted by the DOJ in connection with these investigations. To date, there are no examples of an investigation where the targets include a life sciences company.
In order to avoid being the target of similar enforcement efforts by the DOJ, companies should remain informed of board members' and officers' positions at other companies and routinely evaluate whether prohibited interlocks may exist. Goodwin's Antitrust & Competition group is available to advise on any Section 8 issues, including assessing potential violations, determining whether exemptions apply, and advising on proactively eliminating potentially problematic interlocks if identified.

Should you buy cheap term life insurance? There is a cheap and simple answer to an often-asked question. If you have a mortgage or you have a partner, family or dependants that could suffer financial hardship because of your death then cheap term life insurance is necessary!
Cheap decreasing term life insurance
Cheap decreasing term life insurance is very cheap. For only a few pounds each month a cheap decreasing term life insurance policy will pay the balance of your mortgage should you die before it reaches full term. This type of term policy is called decreasing term life insurance because the sum insured decreases in line with your outstanding mortgage balance. The cheap premium remains the same for the life of the policy, making it an exceptionally cheap way to secure life insurance. A cheap decreasing term life insurance policy ONLY pays out a lump sum to clear your mortgage. This type of cheap term life insurance does not make any other provision for the loved ones you leave behind.
Cheap level term life insurance
Level term life insurance policies are not as cheap as decreasing term life insurance, although these types of term policies overall are still cheap, having only slightly higher premiums attached to them. The reason for the premium not being as cheap is that level term policies pay off your mortgage AND leave a lump sum to your partner, family and/or dependants. The sum insured through a cheap level term life insurance policy remains the same through the life of the policy, as does the cheap premium.
A cheap level term life insurance is recommended to run in tandem with your mortgage. However, a cheap level term life insurance policy can run differently from the term of your mortgage. For instance, you could take out a 10-year level term life insurance policy that is separate from any other cheap premium life policy covering your mortgage. The premiums on the 10-year insurance policy will not be as cheap because the term is short, but it will provide you with additional life insurance cover in the unfortunate event of your death.


text: Print Email Facebook Twitter Application of Coda Wave Interferometry with embedded Smart Aggregate in a prestressed cast-in-situ concrete continuous slab bridge Title Application of Coda Wave Interferometry with embedded Smart Aggregate in a prestressed cast-in-situ concrete continuous slab bridge Author Fu, Danny (TU Delft Civil Engineering and Geosciences) Contributor Yang, Y. (mentor) van der Ham, H.W.M. (graduation committee) Draganov, D.S. (graduation committee) Degree granting institution Delft University of Technology Programme Civil Engineering | Structural Engineering | Concrete Structures Date 2022-01-26 Abstract In recent years, the area of structural engineering has found new interesting prospects in the theory of waves. The acoustoelastic properties of materials are utilized in a new promising structural health monitoring (SHM) technique. The propagation of ultrasonic waves through stressed elements gives the ability to find invaluable information on the stress-state of the concerned element. This information is then analyzed with the use of Coda Wave Interferometry (CWI). This technique explores the late arrivals of the wave field, which is referred to as the coda. Due to scattering of the waves through heterogeneous elements, this part of the wave field holds additional information compared to the early arrivals, which makes it very suitable for application on concrete elements.The use of ultrasonic waves with CWI in concrete elements has been studied enthusiastically by engineers due to its promising prospects. Nevertheless, this technique is still developing both in theory and in practice. The majority of previous similar studies have been conducted in laboratory settings, and thus conditions are very controlled. In this study, the monitoring technique is applied in conjunction with Smart Aggregate (SA) to a concrete structure for practical use. The SA sensors are positioned in groups at key location in the first concrete cast of a cast-in-situ prestressed concrete bridge, which entails two bridge spans of approximately 30 meters length. Measurements are done at different phases during the construction of the bridge, when the stress-state at the positions shifts due to change in loading and boundary conditions. The resulting data is analyzed with CWI and subsequently evaluated whether it coincides with expectations. Deviations from these expectations are rationalized or an attempt thereof is made.The results show significant differences between field measurement results and expectations based on laboratory tests. These differences are explained by the presence of a greater amount of parameters, which influence the data gathered from field measurements. With the appropriate measures, the various factors acting on the structure are isolated and subsequently validated with laboratory data. The most prominent factors affecting the acoustoelastic properties of the structure are established to be time related. These factors involve concrete shrinkage, creep deformation and the concrete hydration process. With laboratory testing the effect of these factors on the wave propagation velocity are determined. By taking into account the additional factors, a strong correlation between changes in the stress-state and changes in the wave propagation velocity is observed when the data is read in an adjusted manner.With a proper protocol, the use of smart aggregates in combination with CWI could be very valuable in accessing concrete structures on-site in both its construction stage and service stage. As it stands, prerequisite knowledge of the monitored structure is necessary to make use of the full potential of the SHM involving CWI and SA. The demand for prerequisite knowledge of the structure increases as the monitored structure becomes more complex, because it increases the amount of additional endeavors required to properly asses the acquired data. As such, the discussed monitoring technique in its current stage of development generally has low accessibility for practical use. But with further research and more understanding of monitoring method, the discussed SHM technique might be applicable for general use in the near future.

David Shaw won't say that Stanford might have a problem on its hands.
To the Cardinal coach, whose team is the only one in the country to compete in a BCS game in each of the past four years, it's a matter of what bowl his team will play in, not whether they will play in one.
"We put ourselves in this position and who knows what bowl game we have a chance to go to?'' Shaw told the Associated Press. ''It's hard to go through the matrix because you have no idea what other people are going to do. Our conference is still extremely turbulent, so who knows where we could finish up as far as what bowl game that will put us in? For us, we have football to play and we're still trying to play our best. And the challenge for us is still out there: to play our best complete game to date.''
Despite Shaw's optimism, the Cardinal has underwhelmed this year. The season's low point came two weeks ago, in a 45-16 shellacking in Autzen Stadium in which Heisman frontrunner Marcus Mariota ran all over a Stanford defense that had dominated his Ducks in each of the past two years. The Cardinal are currently 5-4 on the year with an in-conference record of 3-3, amounting to a failed season following a preseason number 11 ranking.
Now, Stanford could conceivably miss its first postseason since Jim Harbaugh's second year, when the Cardinal also started 5-4 but lost their last 3 games. After showing so much progress since then, a failure to even make any bowl appearance, yet alone one in the BCS, could have a problematic ripple effect.
In 2006, the year before Harbaugh arrived on The Farm, the Stanford recruiting class rated 54th in the country, according to Rivals.com, failing to lure any four- or five-star prospects to Palo Alto. Two years prior, the Cardinal recruiting class was 148th in the country. Yet, from 2009 through last year, a stretch in which the Cardinal qualified for bowls every year and made three BCS appearances, Stanford's class ranked in the top 25 in 5 out of 6 years. (The class ranked 64th in 2013, a year in which the young roster only had room for 12 recruits, including four 4-star prospects.) The ranking peaked at number 5 in the country in 2012, when the team brought in current stars Alex Carter, Aziz Shittu, Zach Hoffpauir, Michael Rector, Barry Sanders, and its entire current starting offensive line, including top 10 prospect Andrus Peat.
Most of these players are now upperclassmen, meaning that they are eligible for the NFL Draft. The whole o-line profiles as NFL prospects, with Peat likely a first round pick. Many of the Cardinal's defensive starters could leave for the pros as well, following a strong collective performance this year.
Stanford has dealt with key departures before. They replaced Andrew Luck with Kevin Hogan and went to two straight Rose Bowls, winning their first in 40 years. Jonathan Martin, David DeCastro and Coby Fleener were high draft picks that the team replaced. Yet, the team moved on from these players while the Cardinal dominated on the field. That 2012 recruiting class came the same year that Luck led the team to a second-straight BCS appearance. On-field success contributes to strong recruiting.
It's highly unlikely that a middle-of-the-pack Pac-12 team can dominate on the national recruiting stage. This is why Stanford's next three games, in which the Cardinal can either gain some respect against two ranked teams and their archrival or miss their first bowl in six years, will be so critical.
The team's attempt to qualify for the postseason begins this Saturday at home against #25 Utah. Stanford's best chance at the sixth win necessary to qualify for the postseason will come against the Utes in the last game on The Farm this season. According to Vegas, the Cardinal are 7.5 point favorites, and they profile well against the Utes. The Cardinal's rush defense, which allows only 110.2 yards per game, good for 11th in the country, should bottle up Devontae Booker, Utah's best offensive weapon. This will force Travis Wilson to throw the ball, something he does not do very consistently, as the Utes rank 96th in passing offense in the FBS. If Peat and Co. can protect Kevin Hogan from the nation's number one pass-rush, featuring Nick Orchard (13.0 sacks, 2nd in the country) and Hunter Dimick (9.0, 8th in the nation), the Cardinal offense should be able to score enough to win a close contest.
After that, the team travels across the Bay to play Cal. The Golden Bears are essentially a more complete version of the Washington State Cougars team that the Cardinal beat handily earlier this year. Cal ranks 4th in passing offense compared to the Cougars' first place ranking, yet runs the ball better (148.1 yards per game against 43.6, the second-worst mark in the country) and forces more turnovers. Stanford should again be favored in this game. Yet, from breaking trombones to last-second field goals following onside kicks following premature field rushing, anything can happen in the Big Game.
Stanford's last game of the season comes against Brett Hundley and UCLA in Pasadena. The one area where the Cardinal defense has struggled this year is against mobile quarterbacks, as seen in Mariota's two touchdown runs and Everett Golson's key scrambles to beat the Cardinal. Hundley can run the rock himself, having picked up 259 yards on the ground over the past three weeks. More than likely, the Bruins will have everything to play for, only trailing Arizona State by one game in the Pac-12 South with the tiebreaker in hand. This game is amounting to be the Cardinal's toughest contest left on the slate, yet serves as the team's best chance for some late-season redemption following their struggles so fair.
Although there's no conference championship or playoff appearance on the line, Stanford's last three games still have plenty of meaning. The Cardinal have a good chance at getting that one last win to go to the postseason, and have a shot at reclaiming some national respect. How Stanford plays could decide not only the legacy of this season, but could also affect the future of the program.

Delayed because of Covid, Nicolas Vanier's film "Poly" is released on October 7, 2020.
The story is based on Cécile Aubry's eponymous television series of the 1960s and tells the story of the friendship between a child and a pony.
The film was shot in May and June 2019 in the Cévennes with French stars François Cluzet, Patrick Timsit and Julie Gayet, as well as little Elisa de Lambert to play 10-year-old Cécile, the central character on the human side.
The film's animal star, Poly, was played in turn by seven chestnut ponies!
Two of them, Hulysse and Jack, belong to Roland Bossard, a trainer from Ruffigné near Châteaubriant in Loire-Atlantique.
This was not the first cinematic experience of this specialist in equine dressage, but previous ones date back to the 1980-90s.
The same pony could not play all the scenes, so many different ponies were used, depending on the type of scene.
Just like the human actors, the ponies hired for Poly had to go through the make-up box before each shooting, knowing that it is impossible to find seven identical ponies.
So they were made up to look exactly the same colour and wigs were put on.
On the screen it was Hulysse who played the lying down scenes, while the curtsies were performed by Jack.
A surprise guest came on the set, the former President of the Republic Francois, Holland came to see his girlfriend Julie Gayet filming.
He had lunch in the canteen like everyone else. It's only natural...
The Story
1964. Louise with her 10-year-old daughter, Pascale, returns to a small village in the Cévennes where she spent her childhood holidays.
The village is dominated by a medieval castle half in ruins and occupied by a strange character: Victor.
While Pascale struggles to make friends with her new friends, she discovers that a travelling circus is settling in town. Amazed and fascinated by the show, Pascale meets Poly, a young pony who turns out to be mistreated by the circus owner Mr. Brancalou.
Shocked and outraged, Pascale imagines a ploy to get the pony out of his fenced enclosure.
Little by little, a relationship of trust is established between the child and the animal.
This feature film received financial support from the Occitanie / Pyrenees-Mediterranean Region and logistical support from the Occitanie Film Commission.
The shooting took place in the towns of La Roque-sur-Céze, Montèze Verfeuil, Saint-Marcel de Careiret, Montclus, Portes, Méjannes-La-Clape and Allègre-Les-Fumades.
You can also rediscover the Sautadet waterfalls.

The full printable instructions are at the end of this post, but here's a list of products on Amazon that are similar to the supplies we used:
- Rolling pin
- Round cookie cutter
- Air dry clay (check out our post for How to Make Clay!)
- Paintbrush
- Mod Podge
- Dried flowers
- Twine
Where can I get pressed flowers?
One option is to press your own flowers! If you have a garden or wildflowers near your house, it's easy to dry your own flowers. One popular method is to put the flowers in wax or parchment paper and close them in a heavy book. You can find more information in our how to press flowers post.
If you don't want to wait for flowers to dry, you can buy pressed flowers from a number of stores. Michaels or other craft stores will have a small selection, but Amazon sells a wide variety. Other online stores like Etsy also sell a lot of dried flowers.
What air dry clay should I use?
We highly recommend that you check out our recipe for Homemade Air Dry Clay. It's so simple to make, using only baking soda, cornstarch, and water. It's so soft and nice to work with, and it dries a beautiful crisp white.
If you don't want to make clay, you can buy air dry clay on Amazon, at a craft store like Michaels, or at an art supply store.
What if I don't have a rolling pin or cookie cutter?
If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use the side of a drinking glass or mason jar to roll out your clay. Then, use the mouth of the glass or jar to cut out your ornament shape!
Do I have to use mod podge?
Mod podge acts as a sealer and gives the ornaments a nice durable finish. I'd highly recommend using mod podge for projects like this.
You can, however, thin out regular school glue and use that instead. Keep in mind that school glue will peel and yellow after a period of time, while mod podge won't.
Another option if you don't have mod podge is to press the flowers directly into the soft clay. If you choose this option, I would recommend letting the ornament air dry instead of baking them, since heat will make the flowers fade.
How to Make Pressed Flower Ornaments
- Air dry clay (see recipe link in tips section below)
- Pressed flowers
- Mod podge (matte)
- Twine (or string or ribbon)
- Round cookie cutter (3 inches, or other size)
Step 1: Form ornament
- Using a rolling pin, roll out clay to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use a cookie cutter to cut a round shape out of the clay. Ours were 3 inches across.
- Make a hole for hanging the ornament by pushing the end of a drinking straw into the clay. Make sure the hole is at least 3/8 inch away from the outside edge.
- Let the clay air dry for at least 3 days, or until hard. Drying time will vary based on the temperature and humidity of your room and the type of clay used.If using our air dry clay recipe (link in tips section below), you can bake the clay at 200 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Flip the ornament once and allow it to cool in the closed oven until it reaches room temperature.
Step 2: Decorate ornament
- Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the front of the ornament.
- Gently press the dried flowers onto the Mod Podge in whatever design you'd like!Groups of three (one large flower, a bit of greenery, and a cluster of small flowers) work nicely.
- Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge over top of the arranged flowers.
- After the ornament is dry, cut a 9 inch piece of twine. Push the twine through the hole in the ornament and make a knot.
- Your pressed flower ornament is complete!
Helpful Tip:
These dried flower ornaments are pretty by themselves, but they also make great additions to a garland or mobile. The colours of summer can be enjoyed year round with these pressed flower clay ornaments.
They're a wonderful nature themed craft that will bring a touch of colour to your Christmas tree or home décor.

Our new spot in Del Norte, CO is drastically different than our last spot. We're still boondocking at about 7800′ but it's high desert without all the trees and a river. We are off on our own in a large spot up against a little mesa and it's very quiet.
From camp we mountain biked a 24 mile loop with 2310′ of climbing. The morning started off hazy but as the ride went on it cleared up. It gets warm here. Last night I did a hike from camp and at 5:00 it was 78 degrees. So, we got an earlyish start to our ride. The trails wind around and up onto several mesas, up gulches, and in through some extremely varied terrain. Our favorite trail was Deadman's. It was surprising to see all the giant boulders rimming the canyon as well as some fir trees!
The best part is there was nobody else on any of the trails! I'm excited to see what our ride tomorrow is like. The map shows that we get to a high alpine lake. I love lakes.

The Global Home Renovation Franchise is a Proven Leader in New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom
With roots in New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom, Refresh Renovations has secured its spot as a global leader in home renovations and franchising. While considered an emerging brand in the U.S., the company has a long history of franchisee support and success.
Paul English (above), CEO and franchisor for Refresh Renovations North America, says it's no secret why homeowners love his company. "We provide clients a custom high-end home design not only on time but within budget," English says. And franchisees love that Refresh Renovations already has a proven track record overseas.
"We're disrupting the fragmented remodeling industry by offering a custom-build experience to homeowners. Unlike many remodeling contractors, we are customer-centric. We show up as scheduled, return phone calls and keep in touch about project status. Franchisees develop a strong bond with their clients."
Refresh Renovations' Full Range of Services
Refresh Renovations handles almost any project: revamping a tiny powder room, re-cladding, and reroofing, converting attics and garages, even remodeling the whole house. "Our franchisees can handle any size or type of internal or external home improvement project," English says. "Because of this full range of services, customers may call on Refresh franchisees again and again."
Scalable Business
Refresh also appeals for its "low cost of entry and minimal operational costs, given that labor is contracted," English says. "The business is highly scalable because franchisees can hire additional subcontractors as they land new projects. The typical Refresh franchisee works from home, brands an existing vehicle, and has the necessary IT equipment to run the proprietary cloud-based systems and processes. This means buy-in and setup costs – from less than $74,000 to about $111,000 – are remarkably low for the size of the opportunity."
Strong Housing Market
According to iPropertyManagement, the U.S. home improvement industry is stronger than it has been in years. With a nationwide housing shortage and record-high home prices, homeowners are opting to stay in their current homes and renovate rather than upgrade and move.
English points out that "the $350 billion-a-year renovation market is wide open and resilient. There are no national home renovation companies like Refresh. It provides all-in-one services."
Franchisees do not need construction experience, but sales, managerial, communication and relationship-building skills are vital. Franchise owners can rely on support from the national office in Pensacola, Fla., and global headquarters in Auckland, New Zealand, where Refresh Renovations began franchising in 2010. Refresh Renovations' professional-operator model has two key processes: driving new sales and managing construction projects. "Franchisees initially tend to manage all sales, marketing and administration activities while overseeing their construction manager, who is either an employee or a subcontractor," English says. "As their project portfolios grow, franchisees employ an administrator and project managers. Designers, estimators, architects, engineers and trades are subcontracted."
Refresh offers franchises in 35 states and the District of Columbia, with Arizona, Florida, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Texas as priority areas.

Bananas are harvested in mature green condition and transported great distances where they are induced to start ripening in controlled atmosphere cold rooms using ethylene liquid which is converted into gas. Ethylene is a natural plant growth hormone produced by all fruits and vegetables in natural habitat. Rule 44-AA of the PFA Rules, 1955 prohibits the use of carbide gas for ripening of fruits. Rule 44-AA : Prohibition of use of carbide gas in ripening of fruits:- No person shall sell or offer or expose for sale or have in his premises for the purpose of sale under any description, fruits which have been artificially ripened by use of acetylene gas, commonly known as carbide gas.

It is considered safe in the concentration varying from 0.001- 0.01% depending upon the crop, variety and maturity. There is no specific provision in PFA for ripening agents. |

The mother of Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen has died following a battle with cancer, according to local reports.
Vânia Nonnenmacher, 75, passed away at Hospital Moinhos de Vento in Porto Alegre Sunday. Brazilian outlet GZH was the first to report on her death.
Nonnenmacher was a retired banker who formerly worked at Banco do Brasil. She was of German descent and held Brazilian nationality.
The 75-year-old had six daughters with university professor Valdir Bündchen: Gisele, Patrícia, Rafaela, Raquel, Graziela and Gabriela.

A wake is scheduled for Monday morning in Porto Alegre followed by a farewell ceremony
The family was based in Horizontina, Rio Grande do Sul, where the former Victoria's Secret Angel was born.
A wake is scheduled for Monday morning at the Ecumenical Chapel of the Metropolitan Crematorium in Porto Alegre. A farewell ceremony will be held after.
Bündchen has yet to issue a statement about the death of her mother, with whom she featured on the cover of Vogue Brasil in 2018.
She most recently posted a series of photos with Nonnenmacher in July 2022 to commemorate her 73rd birthday.
'Happy birthday Mom! I am forever grateful for all that you have done and continue to do for us,' the model wrote.
'Thank you for always loving, inspiring and teaching us. Thank you for giving me life! Love you so much!'

She was recently spotted walking her dog in Miami amid reports that ex-husband Tom Brady was spending time with another model, Irina Shayk
The model was spotted walking her dog in Miami Thursday, amid reports her footballer ex Tom Brady had been spending time with fellow model Irina Shayk.
The new couple were spotted chatting over a meal at the famed French restaurant Brasserie Fouquet's New York in Lower Manhattan.
Bündchen and Brady share two children, 14-year-old Benjamin and 11-year-old Vivian.
They met on a blind date in 2006 and married three years later, forming a blended family with Brady's son Jack.
Speaking to Harper's Bazaar, Bündchen indicated that she and her ex-husband have different parenting approaches, a point that occasionally causes tension.
'Sometimes, I get pushback, especially because now they're in two different homes and there are two different ways,' the model explained.
'But I feel like I owe it to my kids, because of what my mom taught me.'

The annual escape drill is held in Tokyo zoos for zookeepers to practice how they would need to react in the event of a natural disaster or another emergency. This year a member of staff wearing a chimpanzee costume was captured and subdued by other zookeepers before it could escape out onto the streets of Tokyo. During the drill, participants used large nets, sticks and tranquilizer guns to make sure the monkey didn't get away. (Photo by Rodrigo Reyes Marin/AFLO)

Buying a high-quality brick moulding machine is the will of every investor, and many laymen do not know where to start when buying. Is the higher the price, the better the quality? Although price can reflect quality to a certain extent, it is one of many factors. In order to prevent customers from taking detours, we will analyze how to purchase block machinery and equipment below.
Block making machine should have the characteristics of convenient operation, high efficiency, low failure rate, high productivity, wide applicability and energy saving and emission reduction, all of which are indispensable. When purchasing, you must first start with whether the equipment design is reasonable, whether the selection of materials is high-quality, whether the efficiency is fast, whether the operation and maintenance are simple, whether the environmental performance meets the standard, and whether the scope of use is wide, etc., and have a judgment on the overall equipment. This result is your final The basis for purchasing is also the basis for shopping around. After all, when we buy equipment, we need profit, and we need to consider the ratio of input and output. Only high-quality equipment can make our investment get a high return.
Whether the design of brick moulding machines reasonably affects equipment performance, speed, failure rate, etc., especially the vibration system, reasonable design can reduce failure rate, improve efficiency, and reduce the replacement cycle of accessories; whether the quality of material selection affects the performance of the equipment, some Manufacturers choose inferior components due to low customer bids, which will result in a high failure rate of the equipment; whether the production efficiency is efficient determines the customer's profit, and whether the invested capital can be quickly recovered; whether the operation and maintenance are concise is a manifestation of the humanization of the equipment. After all, the equipment buyers don't know much about the equipment. If this is too complicated, it will increase their burden.
The block machinery and equipment that meet the above conditions are high-quality equipment, but the equipment that is bought back needs to be operated and is not a mere decoration. Therefore, it is necessary for the manufacturer to provide thoughtful after-sales service. Even the best equipment lacks the manufacturer's technical support. It is just a pile of scrap iron, and it is the soul of block machinery and equipment for later technical services. Our company introduces international advanced technology in the industry, independently researches and develops high-quality block brick moulding machinery, from raw material analysis, site selection planning, scheme design, equipment debugging, to the production of high-quality products, personnel training after production, and technical upgrades. The manufacturer will make regular technical visits and inspections for all customers who choose this equipment to ensure the safe and good operation of each production line. It also provides free maintenance within 1 year and provides you with life-long after-sales service. Welcome everyone to visit and consult.

My son, who is in seventh grade, is really starting to feel the pressures of school. He has projects in almost every class. He, like most TS kids, is very smart and has all honors classes. I thought that was a good thing, but now I'm not so sure. How do you find the happy medium of challenging them without too much pressure as opposed to being bored because it's too easy?
He was very uptight and grouchy this weekend. He just wanted to stay home and play computer games. But we had already bought tickets to go to a band concert at the local high school (his request). We went, but he really didn't want to. It ended up being longer than we expected.
I could tell he was struggling. He put his head on my shoulder and I could feel him ticcing. It broke my heart. It's so hard, as a parent, not being able to make it all better. Fortunately, the Christmas break is coming up soon. I hope he can relax and recharge then.

By Francesco Bortoletto and Giulia Maini
Over the last couple of weeks, the situation in Palestine and Israel quickly plunged into the most egregious armed confrontation since 2014. A ceasefire entered into force in the early hours of Friday 21 May, following 11 days of heavy rocket barrages and airstrikes between the Gaza Strip and Israeli mainland, coupled with communal violence throughout the region. The death toll has claimed more than 260 lives; most victims were civilians, and nearly 70 were children. Over 72,000 Palestinians have been displaced.
As military operations were still underway, we engaged with a Palestinian voice so as to try and understand in more detail what is going on in the region and what are the root causes of the latest escalations. We did so because we believe that putting what we have seen on tv or social media in its broader context is crucial to gain at least a minimal understanding of one of the world's most complex scenarios.
On the evening of Monday 17 May, we had the pleasure to have a chat on Zoom with Mohammad Arekat, 26, who is a researcher in the field of law at Al-Quds University and has authored two books, one of which, The Mirage of Jasmine, is a historical novel on the Palestinian diaspora. He currently lives in the Palestinian village of Abu-Dis, close to East Jerusalem and part of the Jerusalem Governorate, one of the 16 governorates in which the occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) are divided into under the Oslo Accords (1993-1995).
The interview lasted over two hours and a half and served as the basis for a dozen-page document, with our guest's own words and our additions. For the sake of simplicity, we decided to break the whole thing down into three separate articles, or episodes, to be published in close continuity. This is the first such episode.
Timeline of a rapid escalation
We know that the recent wave of protests and ensuing violence was initially sparked by the eruption of simmering tensions that had been building for some time between Palestinian and Israeli communities. We therefore asked our guest to illustrate more precisely the unfolding of events.
Mohammad's account started from April 13 (the first day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan), when Israeli police set checkpoints at the Damascus Gate, the main entrance to Jerusalem's Old City's Muslim quarter. The police was preventing Palestinians from entering the Al-Aqsa compound (a square surrounded by retaining walls atop of a hill at the heart of the Old City, known to Muslims as The Noble Sanctuary and to Jews as Mount of the House of God, hosting the Al-Aqsa mosque, Islam's third holiest site, and also sacred to Judaism and Christianity) from gathering around the Gate.
Cables to the loudspeakers broadcasting prayers outside the mosque were cut and worshipers inside of the latter were «brushed aside» by Israeli riot police. The alleged reason for this was that prayers would have disturbed the celebration of Israel's Memorial Day, taking place on the same day in front of the Western Wall (which is part of the walls surrounding Temple Mount), where the country's president Reuven Rivlin was delivering a speech.
Restrictions perceived as unfair and repeated raids on the Al-Aqsa mosque sparked protests among Palestinians, leading to clashes between protesters and law enforcers, with the latter firing stun grenades and rubber-tipped bullets while also dispatching water cannons and mounted police to respond to rock throwing. These events ignited a self-sustaining circle of violence, with Palestinians and Jews repeatedly attacking each other in Jerusalem and across both the West Bank and several mixed (Arab-Jewish) Israeli cities, resulting in the worst episodes of communal violence the region had witnessed in years.
On April 25, the Israeli government relaxed the restrictive measures, but frictions were far from over. On top of the tensions at Al-Aqsa, in fact, Palestinians (mainly youth) had been gathering regularly throughout April to peacefully oppose the looming eviction of twelve Palestinian families in Sheikh Jarrah, a predominantly Arab neighbourhood in East Jerusalem, about two kilometres north of the Old City. As we will discuss later on, Palestinian residents had appealed against the eviction orders, issued by magistrate courts, to the Israeli Supreme Court. The latter's hearing had originally been scheduled for May 10, but was eventually postponed amid mounting protests.
In the early days of May, the already deteriorated situation quickly spiralled: riot police fired stun and smoke grenades inside the Al-Aqsa mosque on the evening of May 7 (were hundreds of worshipers had gathered in the last Friday of Ramadan), setting off increasingly violent protests that were met by crackdowns (compared to a «haunt» by Mohammad), with several Palestinians getting severely injured at their eyes as rubber-coated bullets were fired at the upper body level. Skunk water tanks were deployed both against protesters in the compound and on Palestinian homes in Sheikh Jarrah. Clinics were also attacked, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent.
Our guest explicitly notes that many attacks carried out by mobs of Israeli Jewish settlers, especially in Sheikh Jarrah, were not stopped by Israeli law enforcers standing by. On the contrary, the latter would «just protect the settlers» while allowing them to beat and throw objects at the Palestinians.
May 10 marked the point of no return. Access to the Al-Aqsa compound was restricted again for Palestinians celebrating Laylat al Qadr (the most important day in the Islamic calendar). A march across Jerusalem, where far-right extremist Jews were provoking Palestinians across the Muslim quarter, had to be rerouted owing to security concerns (indeed, May 10 is also Jerusalem Day, celebrating the «reunification» of the city in 1967 – or, rather, its occupation). Yet, this was arguably too little, too late: clashes between Palestinians and Israeli riot police continued, with the latter storming again the mosque and firing grenades and rubberised bullets inside of it for the second time in three days. More than 300 Palestinians were reportedly injured on Monday alone.
Hamas, the Islamist militant group ruling Gaza since 2007, broadcast an ultimatum warning that they would launch an attack on Israel's towns if Israeli troops did not withdraw from both Al-Aqsa and Sheikh Jarrah by 6pm that same day. Several minutes after the deadline, a first round of rockets was fired by the Strip towards Israel, with Hamas claiming responsibility for them since its conditions were not met. This would set the stage for the resumption of full-blown hostilities between Hamas and Israel: later on Monday, the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) carried out the first airstrikes over the Gaza Strip in the «Operation Guardian of the Walls».
Sheikh Jarrah: settlers vs residents
In order to understand what happened in Sheikh Jarrah, we need to go through a synthetic timeline of the disputes revolving around the neighbourhood, bearing in mind that the issue is very complex and has many delicate legal aspects that are still unclear and/or controversial. It is important to note, however, that similar disputes also historically involve other neighbourhoods in the wider context of East Jerusalem, collectively contributing to fuel tensions between Palestinian residents (who are not citizens of Israel) and Israeli Jewish settlers.
Following the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, Israel seized control over large swathes of Mandatory Palestine (including West Jerusalem), whereas Jordan annexed the West Bank (including East Jerusalem). As a consequence, several plots of land (including Sheikh Jarrah) in East Jerusalem passed under Jordanian jurisdiction and administration, including areas where some Jewish communities used to live in the Ottoman era and that were abandoned around 1948.
In 1956 Jordan, in cooperation with the UN Relief and Work Agency for Palestine in the Near East (UNRWA), housed 28 families of displaced Palestinians in Sheikh Jarrah. In exchange for waiving their refugee status, these families were granted protected tenancies by the Jordanian government; under the terms of the agreement, if the owner of the lands (the Jordanian government) was satisfied with the residents' conduct, the former would have transferred ownership of the housing units to the latter after three years (the agreement expired in 1959).
Nevertheless, the transfer process was caught up in a bureaucratic and administrative slowness that prolonged it through the mid-1960s. When Israel occupied East Jerusalem (as well as the broader West Bank, the Gaza Strip, the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights) in the wake of the 1967 Six-Day War, this process suffered a sudden setback. Palestinian houses in Sheikh Jarrah and elsewhere concurrently fell under the authority of Israel's General Custodian.
In 1972, two Jewish committees claimed ownership over lands in Sheikh Jarrah on the basis of an Ottoman-era document (a title deed or koshan) reportedly proving an 1886 transaction for transfer of ownership from the lands' Arab owner to a Jewish community. The Israeli Custodian registered the properties under the two committees in late 1972 without deferring the case, still ongoing at the moment, to the court (as Israeli norms stipulate). Still, the koshan apparently did not provide for a complete ownership transfer over to the Jewish community and has consequently been legally challenged in Israeli courts, thus becoming a major source of conflicting interpretations.
However, the settlers' committees started asking Palestinian residents (defined as «squatters») to pay a rent in order to stay there, or to face forced eviction. In 1976, a case involving four Palestinian families was decided by the Jerusalem District Court in favour of the latter, as they were found to be lawfully present in the area on the grounds of their «prior and legitimate» agreements with the Jordanian government and the UNRWA.
The Jewish committees thus resorted to out-of-court methods. In 1982, another legal proceeding involved 23 Palestinian families, whose was represented by a lawyer who autonomously signed an agreement with the two said Jewish committees. Such an agreement omitted to challenge the committees' ownership claims but obtained instead the status of protected tenants for the Palestinian families (they would not face eviction provided that they paid the rent to the committees, in compliance with the 1972 Tenant Protection Law).
The families represented by the lawyer later objected that the latter had failed to fully disclose to them the nature and implications of the agreement (which he had already signed), and refrained from sticking to its stipulations as a form of protest. Crucially, all four families who had «won» the 1976 case were party to the 1982 agreement, thus somehow «resetting» the precedent for similar disputes. This way, the contested agreement came to underpin all subsequent controversies over the neighbourhood, and effectively constituted the basis for court-ordered evictions (by formalising the identification of Palestinian residents as «tenants», however protected, and of Jewish settlers' associations as «owners»).
In 1997 the Jewish committees' ownership claims were again challenged by a Palestinian resident, also building on the premise that the contested title deed (koshan) did not exist within the records of the Ottoman archives in Ankara. What did exist, and what the resident managed to submit to the court, was documentation of his family's longstanding ties to that land retrieved from both the Ottoman and Jordanian archives. However, both Israeli magistrate courts and the Supreme Court rejected subsequent appeals by the resident. In 2008 and 2009 other Palestinian families were evicted from their houses in Sheikh Jarrah.
Lastly, Jerusalem's magistrate court ruled in October 2020 that twelve Palestinian families in the neighbourhood had to be evicted in two tranches: about half by early May 2021, and the rest by early August. The court's decision also stipulated that the homes (and relative ownership rights) would go to Jewish settlers and that the evicted families would have to pay to the latter around $20,000 to cover the legal fees for the trial. Last February, several Palestinian families, together with some human rights organisations, appealed to the Israeli Supreme Court in order for it to annul the eviction orders.
In late April, the Jordanian foreign minister travelled to Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank, to hand over some documents to the Palestinian Authority (PA) allegedly proving ownership of Palestinian families in Sheikh Jarrah, claiming this would help halting evictions. Nevertheless, such documents were seemingly deemed «insufficient» to support the residents' appeal to the Supreme Court. As the court's final decision was recently postponed, however, the outcome of the ruling and the fate of the families both remain unclear.
Dispossession by law
At this point, a brief insight on the provisions of Israeli land and property law is necessary if we want to get a sense of how and why the above could ever occur. Mohammad was so kind to disclose the legal system's basic framework to us. In this context, two major pieces of Israeli legislation are important for our understanding: the 1950 Absentees' Property Law (APL) and the 1970 Legal and Administrative Matters Law.
Under the former, ownership of landed properties belonging to Palestinians that qualify as «absentees» can be transferred over to the Israeli Custodian of Absentee Property (a governmental body tasked with ownership and management of such properties), which in turn often transferred title and ownership over to Israeli settlers associations. Mohammad noted that the very definition of absentee is unfairly extensive, and that its application by Israeli courts has been broad: «if I just move from Jerusalem to Abu-Dis», he said, «they will treat me as if I were absent, like I was in Syria or Lebanon».
On the other hand, according to the latter law, Israelis can claim property of land owned by Jews in East Jerusalem prior to 1948 (sometimes even where compensation for loss of said land had already been provided). Crucially, as underlined by our guest, this very right is not specularly recognised to those Palestinians whose families lost properties to Jewish settlers during the same period.
The interplay between these (and other) laws effectively created a situation widely regarded as «legal discrimination», which means discrimination sanctioned by law. Indeed, many analysts contend that legislation regulating landed property enacted by the Knesset (Israeli parliament) between 1948 and 1960 «institutionalised the dispossession of the displaced Palestinians», substantially altering the legal status of unduly appropriated Palestinian land in the post-1948 period and designing a «land regime» with the objective of sustaining the new Israeli «sociospatial reality».
With specific reference to the APL, moreover, it is generally acknowledged that it provided for «permanent expropriation» of once-Palestinian land. This is particularly blatant also considering the paradoxical category of «present absentees», namely Palestinians who did not exit Israel, but got their properties confiscated (with no compensation whatsoever) nonetheless.
Actually, Israeli authorities themselves admit that evictions concur to an overarching policy of demographic engineering («more land to the Jews, and less to Palestinians», in the words of Mohammad), especially in East Jerusalem. For instance, deputy mayor Aryeh King explicitly told reporters that these actions serve the strategy of installing «layers of Jews» in the city with the objective of securing «the future of Jerusalem as a Jewish capital for the Jewish people», also with a view to prevent the «enemy» from establishing East Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state.
Quite unsurprisingly, an ever growing number of different observers (both public and private, both within and outside Israel) consider these policies as unlawful land grabbing, in some cases even amounting to fully-fledged ethnic cleansing.1
Furthermore, and aside from the actual content of the aforementioned legislation, its very application in East Jerusalem, Mohammad told us, is unlawful as it is part of Israeli civil law. Yet, since East Jerusalem is occupied territory, Israel cannot impose its own sets of laws therein: instead, the applicable body of law should be international law of belligerent occupation, a subset of international humanitarian law (IHL).2
«If you are a Jew, then you have the right to come here»
Mohammad then went on talking about another couple of Israeli laws: the 1950 Law of Return and the 1952 Citizenship Law. These two pieces of legislation regulate, respectively, Jewish immigration to Israel and the acquisition and loss of Israeli citizenship.
Under the former, any Jew or descendant of Jews from anywhere in the world is entitled to the right of «returning» to Israel, even if they have never been there before. It is largely acknowledged that among the main drivers of such legislation was the imperative of «maintaining a Jewish majority within the State of Israel by promoting aliyah [the immigration of Jews from the diaspora]». As argued above, this demographic policy aiming at the Judaization of Israel is often pursued through discriminatory legal means and arbitrary practices.
Still, our guest insisted, «if you are Palestinian, you have no right to return». It is estimated that about 750,000 Palestinians fled or were expelled during the Nakba, «the catastrophe» (as Arabs indicate the events following the foundation of the state of Israel in 1948). Under Israeli law, none of them is allowed to return to their home or their land, nor are their descendants. Furthermore, Mohammad told us, not only had «ethnic cleansing already commenced before the [1948] war», but different Palestinian communities are still at risk of forced eviction also within the borders of Israel (for instance the Bedouins in the Negev region).
Today, some 5,6 million Palestinian refugees fall within the mandate of the UNRWA operating in the occupied West Bank, the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria. Of them, 1,5 millions were living in refugee camps as of 2019.3
With regards to the Citizenship Law, albeit ostensibly enacted to extend Israeli citizenship to Arab nationals, it was recently amended (first in 2003, then again in 2017) in a way that makes it all the more difficult for them, and specifically for Palestinians, to obtain citizenship in Israel. According to recent amendments, in fact, the law basically bars inhabitants of the West Bank and Gaza Strip from automatic conferral of Israeli citizenship and residency permits that are usually granted upon marriage with an Israeli citizen, substantially amounting to a denial of the right to family reunification.
This was primarily justified on grounds of «security concerns»: namely, preventing terrorists from entering Israel or reuniting with their families therein. But there is more than that to the story: once again, among the explicit goals of the bill was that of preserving Israel's «Jewish character», which would have been jeopardised had the grant of Israeli citizenship to Palestinians marrying Israelis continued unabated. After all, it was adamantly admitted by justices of the Supreme Court that Palestinians in the OPT are «enemy nationals».
As a matter of fact, however, Jewish ethno-nationalism is deeply rooted in Israeli law. In 2018, the Knesset passed a controversial Basic Law (one of several such laws that collectively make up for the lack of a written constitution) whose title reads, Israel – The Nation State of the Jewish People. Among other things, it stipulates that, given Israel's nature as the national home to «the Jewish People», the latter is uniquely entitled to the right of national self-determination. Many hold that this law officially enshrines institutional discrimination, effectively distinguishing between Jewish citizens and non-Jewish ones, and explicitly bestowing upon the former a unique entitlement to national self-determination while disenfranchising the latter.
For supporters of the law, its enactment was a long-due (and perfectly legitimate) recognition that Israel is, and always has been, a Jewish state – the Jewish state. According to critics, on the other hand, Israeli citizens are now classified along a very basic fault line: ethnic identity. On his part, however, then (and current) prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who long supported approval of the bill and greatly celebrated its enactment, publicly asserted that «Israel is not a state of all its citizens», hardly leaving any room for interpretation.
In addition to a growing number of various non-governmental associations' reports increasingly using the strong expression of «ethnic cleansing» with reference to Israeli policies vis-à-vis the Palestinian population, we decided to quote here the 2011 report of the UN-appointed Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the OPT: «There is no question that, with its policy of Palestinian expulsion and dispossession in Jerusalem, Israel continues to be responsible for a gradual, incremental, yet cumulatively devastating policy designed to achieve the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians» (A/HRC/16/72, para. 19).
IHL is a regime consisting in both conventional and customary norms. The formalisation of the norms regulating belligerent occupation is contained, among others, in the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention, to which Israel is a party since 1951. Here you can find a detailed analysis of both Israel's duties under IHL and its violations thereof.
«Palestinian refugees» are defined under UNRWA's mandate as «persons whose normal place of residence was Palestine during the period 1 June 1946 to 15 May 1948, and who lost both home and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 conflict». This definition does not account for Palestinians who fled or were expelled following the 1967 war, nor for Palestinians that were internally displaced as a consequence of either conflict, even though UNRWA is mandated to also provide assistance to them.

Maple Hall Academy proudly offers ceramic arts to enhance our students' skills in self-expression and emotional regulation. Our master potter, Keith Prince, provides students opportunities to create objects that represent thoughts, emotional themes, feelings, and experiences. Further, the newly created item may act as a springboard for further exploration by the child's therapist. Engaging in the journey of the art process provides our students insight and opportunity to develop and strengthen skills, with a sense of control often not felt in other areas of their life.
In the article below taken from, Therapeutic Qualities of Clay-work in Art Therapy: A Review, Sholt and Gavron; 2006, reveals the therapeutic impact of how working with clay helps unlock a new and often revealing way of communication for our students.
Clay-work involves an intense and powerful tactile experience of touching and haptic involvement. Touch was identified as one of the first sensory responses to develop in humans (Frank, 1957; Montagu, 1978). Tactile contact is actually the first mode of communication that an infant learns. For humans, the early stages of life are dominated by contact between an infant and caregiver (Hunter & Struve, 1998). Thus, clay-work involves a very primal mode of expression and communication.
Touch in clay-work also requires body movements in endless opportunities for touching and modeling. Thus clay-work makes possible an entire non-verbal language or communication for the creator, through which his or her mental realm, emotional life, and primary object relations can be expressed. We chose to use concepts from attachment and object-relation theories to describe the inner processes that are relevant to clay-work. The central assumption of attachment theory is that humans form close emotional bonds with others (Bowlby, 1969, 1973, 1979, & 1980).
Clay-work taps into primary modes of communication and expression (e.g. through touch), and is thereby linked to actual past memories and feelings that were encoded through touch and movement. In this respect, clay-work could function as a central window to these unconscious, nonverbal representations and may be especially helpful with people who find it hard to express themselves verbally or who are very defensive.

Qualified supportive cbd gummies offices
There is a significant number of accommodating weed networks in Los Angeles. There are well more than 120 pot aggregates accessible in the L. A. district. The gigantic number of the centers does not deduce that one can find pot accessible any place in the LA space. Notwithstanding the way that the proportion of clinical weeds dispensaries right now high, a bigger number of weeds workplaces than Starbucks, not many out of each odd one of them are upheld and they hazard govt arraignment whenever got with any proportion of weed. Late assessments show that fewer than 50 medicinal marijuana assortments in LA are legitimately working in the restricting association of the LA specialists. The evaluation additionally displayed there more than 80 weed dispensaries are beginning at now conflicting with the Los Angeles aces ' court works out mensjournal.com.
This is made game plans for lessening the proportion of pot cooperatives, which will as such, downsize the receptiveness and along these lines utilization of ganja except for at whatever point recommended for by an expert clinical aide. The monster number of cannabis focuses was by ideals of the relaxing of experts on the endorsement of restricting laws. The specialists are sorting out some way to control unlawfully working weed workplaces. Eventually thinking about the way that L. A. has unending pot places, one should be familiar with the right procedure to track down a normal and qualified dispensary in the cbd oil. While looking at for sufficient clinical cbd oil dispensary there is several things that one should put sensible. First are the LA state laws on the using of the pot. Monitoring the state laws will place the client in better grounds of not hazarding arraignment. In a little while, a patient ought to prompt an expert who will request on the utilization of weed one might have to get recorded use consent. This can be in kind of a clinical report or a clinical hashish card. Coming about to getting consent, one is set up to get to clinical weed.
All confirmed Marijuana Dispensaries in LA very likely recorded licenses of activity. This is as indicated by the states needs and rule. Finally, a fitting clinical dispensary very likely satisfied the amount of the states flourishing condition arrangement necessities and probably bought a LA Medical activity grant.
