Youth President's inaugural address
WMC: October 2017
Michael Pryke, 18, has been welcomed as the new Youth President of the Methodist Church with a service at Oswald Elliott Hall, Stamford.
This important role in the life of the Church will see Michael represent thousands of young people across the UK, both at home and abroad.
Michael has taken up his new role following an election that took place at last year's 3Generate, the Methodist Children and Youth Assembly; taking over from the previous Youth President, Tim Annan.
In his inaugural address, Michael thanked former Youth President Tim Annan for his work over the past year before moving on to his own priorities and motivations for the year ahead.
"Every young person has a gift, a skill, a talent, they can offer the Church. Yet we do not take them up on it. And too often young people are looked down on because we are young," Michael said.
"It's time that we engage with the issues, to not be pushed to the back of the queue or line and to not be looked down on... We have the ability to make the changes that we want to see."
You can read Michael's inaugural address below
My grandmother always used to say to me that patience is a virtue.
It is a virtue I have not yet learnt.
For a number of months now I have had to say that I am the Youth President Elect, or Designate — I'm not quite sure which I'm meant to say — and that I have to be patient to wait to say the next sentence.
My name is Michael Christopher Pryke and I am the Youth President.
For those of you who know me know I can ramble on for days about what I'd like to be able to do in my year. But in my order of service I was given a few months ago, Andy put 'a brief word'. Which I think is his way of telling me to get on with it.
I'd like to start by congratulating Tim on his year and I'm sure that everyone will join me in wishing you the best in your future endeavours.
I'm a great fan of the reading that Tim just gave to us: "Don't let anybody look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers". Especially that last bit, "set an example for the believers."
Often it's people older than us that set the examples for us, mothers, fathers, grandparents, teachers or ministers, all set an example to us. But it's rare that a young person in the life of the Church sets an example. And yet young people are so important in the life of the Church, yet sometimes we are denied the voice we do truly deserve. I have been very fortunate and very lucky in my life to have been given such a prominent role in the Church, but it is my wish, my hope, that every young person could have the opportunities that I have had. Every young person has a gift, a skill, a talent, they can offer the Church. Yet we do not take them up on it. And too often young people are looked down on because we are young.
It is my aim within my year in office to challenge this.
The Collins dictionary says: 'If you set an example, you encourage or inspire people by your behaviour to behave or act in a similar way'. My challenge this year is to inspire. To inspire young people about the Church. From there I'd like to see young people start to inspire the church itself, on a local, circuit, district, national and even an international level.
It's time that we engage with the issues, to not be pushed to the back of the queue or line and to not be looked down on.
Now is the time that we can say that we are proud to be young Methodists, because we have a voice. We have the ability to make the changes that we want to see.
Within my year in office, I wish to focus on the theme of hope. We live in an age where it seems that we have lost all hope, and we see in the news these negative stories, we forget there is always... there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
I decided to focus on this theme after going to Kenya with Karabuni Children and meeting them and meeting a woman. Now she lived in a small shack. Not even the size of the front two rows here. And we walked to where she lived. There was a small child playing outside in the dust. The ground was hard. There was shards of glass and all other things on the floor and she had no shoes on. She was playing with these plastic bags crushed together to make a football. And she just seemed so happy. So gleeful despite the situation and circumstances that life had thrown at her. Her mother invited us into her home and said: "Ah, I see you have met my daughter Hope" and that has just stuck with me.
That we are so lucky in this country and I feel that we take for granted all that we have. So let us remember to be grateful for what we do have. Let us remember that no matter what life may throw at us, there is always hope.
Now when it comes to picking a hymn, I am very traditional, and I do love good organ music. And also as Methodists we are surrounded by some brilliant hymns, so it is rather hard. 'And can it be' comes to mind, speaking of the amazing love that God gives for us. I used 'Thine be the Glory' as my confirmation hymn. Or perhaps I could use 'All people that on earth do dwell.' But after an awful lot of deliberation, and mum telling me that 'All things bright and beautiful' is not an acceptable choice.
I settled on a hymn by Frances Jane van Alstyne. It speaks of the great things God has done for us and I am very thankful for the opportunity that God has given to me this year.
So to coin a phrase that I do rather like, as Methodism was born in song we shall sing: 'To God be the glory, great things He has done.'

White people can't dance. I'm not being racist; it's true. Just like when white people say black people have big lips, it's not racist; it's true. Black people have big lips, white people can't dance. Some brothers will be in the club and white people are like, "What are those niggers doing in here?" They watchin' y'all dance.

A couple of seconds later there will be nothing else on your mind, except the wish to breathe. Nothing will be able to distract you in this situation; nothing will be able to diverge your focus and attention away from the situation. In fact, your focus is laser-sharp and directed on only one thing: managing to get up to the surface so that you can fill your lungs with fresh air. Do you want to watch television in this situation? Do you want to surf the Internet? Do you need any rest? NO! Heck no, all you want to do is to breathe. Nothing else.

Every morning is a fresh beginning. Every day is the world made new. Today is a new day. Today is my world made new. I have lived all my life up to this moment, to come to this day. This moment – this day – is as good as any moment in all eternity. I shall make of this day – each moment of this day – a heaven on earth. This is my day of opportunity.-Dan Custer
Nowadays, a lot of people are realizing the advantages that can be obtained by having a good sleep every night. It is important that you should focus more on sleeping better since it can provide you with positive effects. Not only for your well-being, but also on your performance at work. There are numerous ways to improve your sleep. Be sure to stay away from caffeine and other stimulants. You should do regular exercise and practice a constant bedtime routine. However, the environment also plays an important role in having a great night's sleep.
Many seem to overlook the profound wisdom that can be found within this quote. But what exactly does Jimmy Dean want to tell us with this statement? Dean points out that we cannot change the external circumstances of our lives. There are simply so many variables that we cannot influence. However, we always have the choice to make the best out of the situation, no matter what happens.
There is nothing more contagious in this world than a grin on the face. You don't need a reason to show off your teeth. All you have to do is to have a positive attitude and show folks that you're happy. The feeling is frequently contagious, and it can help make the world a better place. An outward sign of happiness makes the world seem friendlier. This simple act carries so many different meanings and emotions – from showing love to telling folks that you can trust me.
Love and friendship: some of us can't find the difference between these two notions, others firmly believe that where love is, there can't be friendship and vice versa. Yeah, we know, it sounds silly, but there are such people. Anyways, since love has a lot of meanings and it really can be of different kinds – we have the right to assume that friendship is love. Ok, if you want to figure out what we mean, just read a few cute quotes about love and friendship.
Friends are a dime a dozen, but a genuine best friend is a rare find. The best way I can describe my bestie is that she is my missing puzzle piece. I don't know what I would do without her by my side at all times. Even when we're not together, I'm texting her constantly, so with National Best Friends Day coming up on June 8, it's the perfect time to show your appreciation to yours by posting a sweet Instagram pic with one of these best friend quotes.
Smiling is one of the best healthy habits that you can adopt. It's much more tangible than "positive-thinking" and is therefore easier for your body and mind to remember to do. Simply pick something that you do every day, like brushing your teeth or getting on a bus, and try and smile every single time you do it. Once you've made it a habit, you can bring smiling into other domains until it's become something you naturally do all the time.
One of the ways to regain control over your life is with a morning routine. A good morning routine gives energy, it accomplishes tasks and sets you on a path to get the things YOU want done for the day completed. A morning routine means taking the day out of the hands of fate and gaining control of your life. Find out more about positive morning routines in the link below.
Your willingness not to give up no matter what will bring you one step closer towards the accomplishment of your dreams. Often times, people start enthusiastically with a new task, but they soon allow challenges and setbacks to decrease their motivation. In the end, they will give up and find new goals to pursue halfhearted, which they will eventually fail as well. That is until they finally find goals that are unimportant but relatively easy to accomplish. What a way to ruin one's potential.
Thank you for these quotes Ellesse. I know it has been quite a while since this was posted but I just stumbled across them and I thought all of these quotes were inspiring. Unfortunately, I did not get the time to read all of the comments today but I hope to change that soon. I would have several quotes to tell you but when I started to think of inspirational quotes I could only think of the one that has helped me through some difficult times in life. I don't know if it is considered inspirational, but it was to me. In fact, it was so inspirational that my high school graduation present from my mother was a ring engraved with this quote:
But we all have the opportunity to take what we have and make the best out of it. Instead of lamenting about our difficult situation we need to redirect our attention towards solutions on how we can make the best out of it. There is, unfortunately, no other choice. Have the courage to accept the way your circumstances are and then try your very best to make the best you can from it.
While many of these funny quotes are attributed to famous people, don't overlook the anonymous and unknown entries. They can provide just as much laughter, even though nobody took credit for them. For example, who doesn't love: "When I die, I want to go peacefully like my grandfather did, in his sleep—not screaming, like the passengers in his car."
He went on asking questions. Did I fight a lot with Thalia, since she was a daughter of Zeus? (I didn't answer that one.) If Annabeth's mother was Athena, the goddess of wisdom, then why didn't Annabeth know better than to fall off a cliff? (I tried not to strangle Nico for asking that one.) Was Annabeth my girlfriend? (At this point, I was ready to stick the kid in a meat-flavored sack and throw him to the wolves.)"
If you have children, or if you have ever been a child, you know that friendships can be hard, and great friendships can be hard to find. Learning to share your favorite toys, taking turns, and saying that you are sorry is all part of the process. As we navigate our way through middle school, we learn more about being a good friend. What it feels like to have a friend stick up for you in a crowd, to hold you a spot at the lunch table, and to tell you when you have something stuck in your braces. Sometimes those first best friends are with you into adulthood, and sometimes our friends change as we grow and also change. We all seek to find that true friend who will be with us through thick and thin. She tells you when you can find a more flattering pair of jeans, help you find the courage to quit a job that you hate going to, and loves you enough to tell you when the boyfriend you are chasing after, is no good for you. How lucky we are if we have found a best friend.

How to inspect factory-built fireplaces & fireplace inserts. This article provides a checklist useful for building or home inspectors who need to examine a factory-built fireplace and chimney.
Zero-clearance fireplaces are typically steel constructed fireplaces to burn wood or perhaps other fuels such as LP or natural gas in modern homes, usually connected to a metal chimney.
Our photo (left) shows a zero-clearance gas fireplace. Other zero clearance fireplaces burn wood or perhaps other fuels.
We also provide a MASTER INDEX to this topic, or you can try the page top or bottom SEARCH BOX as a quick way to find information you need.
Following this example of hard-to-spot but unsafe factory-built fireplace installation fire hazards we provide a checklist for the inspection of factory-built fireplaces.
Watch out: we have found a few zero-clearance fireplaces improperly installed too close to combustibles.
[Click to enlarge any image]
The clearance to combustibles is not "zero" but one or more inches, depending on the materials, construction, and manufacturers' instructions.
The installer did not understand the purpose of steel clearance-assuring projections welded to the zero-clearance fireplace, and s/he had hammered them flat to "shoe-horn" the zero clearance fireplace into a too-small wood-framed rough opening.
The result was a serious building fire hazard and a building code violation as well.
Our photo of a zero-clearance fireplace from inside the framed opening (left) shows the clearance guards intact next to our ruler. But inspection showed chimney leaks onto this unit - evidenced by the rust and white stains that can ultimately damage the flue (at upper right) and the fireplace unit, making it unsafe.
Factory-built fireplace inspection checklist warning: This factory-built fireplace inspection checklist given below is a companion to our FIREPLACE INSPECTIONS article and our FIREPLACE INSPECTION PRE-FAB article
It is essential to also review and be familiar with the fireplace manufacturer's installation instructions and the homeowner should be familiar with the manufacturer's fireplace operation and maintenance instructions and recommendations.
This inspection checklist is also not a substitute for checks for compliance with local building and fire codes.
No checklist is ever a complete guide to building inspection or diagnosis since no checklist can contain every possible hazard or every clue that suggests a problem.
Therefore do not rely on this or any checklist to assure that your inspection of a chimney is complete. Instead, use this list to suggest additional topics that you otherwise may have omitted from your inspection.
The more detailed chimney inspection and repair articles at the links at Related Links and the citations below below suggest further, more-detailed chimney inspection points and procedures.
|Factory-Built Fireplace, Fireplace-Insert & "Zero-Clearance Fireplace" Defects & , Unsafe Conditions
|Item #
|Factory-built Fireplace Hazard or Concern
|Comment / More Detail
Building ID & Location: __________________________________________
Date & Time: _________________________________________________
Inspector: ____________________________________________________
Chimney cap and crown defects:
Watch out: attaching anything other than the manufacturer's spark arrester to the chimney top cover and flashing violates the listing and the building code.
CHIMNEY SHROUD, Decorative
Chimney Chase:
Chase termination adapters and sections may be described in separate instructions from those provided with the chimney & firebox.
Inspect the chimney chase interior (it may be necessary to make or provide visual access, often feasible from inside the building attic).
Check the chimney chase interior surfaces for signs of flue or metal chimney leaks, soot, smoke, or darkening of surfaces that may indicate overheating or an usafe chimney.
if there has been a prior chimney fire in a metal flue the system should not be used again before it is replaced.
Baird (1991) reported that "certain chase termination-adapter kits were improperly installed, ... leaving a gap in the metal chimney near the top of the chase". [4]
FIRE STOPPING at CHIMNEY PASSAGES
Chimney Chase insulation
Note: insulation may be required or prohibited as may fire-blocking within the chimney chase. See the separate chimney chase inspection article cited at right.
Chimney elbows, bends, angles
where chimney elbows or angled runs are used, the weight of the chimney must be adequately supported above the elbows (by elbow support straps or by other means specified by the manufacturer).
|Chimney Installation air space / clearances: is the manufacturer-required air space or clearance provided between the chimney and any combustible materials at all locations?
Chimney passage through building interior living space: is the chimney enclosed where it passes through occupied space in the building?
Are any required fire-stopping materials (fire-sealant, fire stops) installed where the chimney passes through floors or ceilings in the building?
FIRE STOPPING at CHIMNEY PASSAGES
Chimney section connections,
Baird (1991) reported that "... chimney sections are sometimes terminated at an elevation that does not allow for sufficient overlap of the various adapters and telescoping sections.
This lap distance is specified by the manufacturer.
If chimney offsets are used and not properly supported, the chimney is more likely to settle and open a gap in the flue.". [4]
|Chimney top clearances:
is the top termination of the chimney at least 3-ft. above the roof surface & 2-ft above any component of any structure that is within 10-ft. horizontal distance?
Chimney top housing, covering, shroud: have the chimney top housing or termination assembly been installed and secured following the manufacturer's instructions?
Also see Decorative Shrouds in the checklist below.
Code compliance:
Watch out: only the local building official has authority to declare an installation "legal" or "code-compliant".
The local code official should not approve an installation or component if the manufacturer has not provided a listing (such as UL listing) for the the component as installed and used at a particular building or site.
Component Labels:
Watch out: Baird (1991) points out that some component labels will not be visible after fireplace or chimney construction & installation are completed and must have been inspected at rough-in or other appropriate times. [4]
|Creosote or heavy soot in chimneys:
a possible chimney fire hazard, especially at wood-burning fireplaces or woodstove flues
|Decorative shroud not listed: installation of a non-listed decorative chimney top shroud [4]
Decorative shroud connected to wood:
Watch out: If the decorative cap on your chimney is not listed and approved and correctly installed, have it removed, leaving the chimney flue top cap and spark arrestor installed.
|CHIMNEY SHROUD, Decorative
Doors to the fireplace insert
Add-on doors can make some fireplaces operate at a higher temperature than that for which the unit was designed.
Baird (1991) reported that "... glass doors had been installed on a fireplace that had never been tested for use with glass doors". [4]
|Fireplace air circulating louvers & openings: are the air openings or louvers intended for circulating air around the fire-box clear of obstructions?
|Fire clearances
unsafe between metal flues or other types of chimneys and nearby combustibles.
Fireplace insert clearance to combustible materials
Note: Baird (1991) reported that numerous fires occurred as a result of long-term effects of placing wood-framing too close to the opening of the fireplace.
"A number of fires have occurred in a single development several years after prefabricated concrete tilt-up fireplaces were installed in violation of Section 3703 (h) of the Uniform Building Code™.".. [4]
|Fireplace inserts for wood or coal installed into an existing masonry flue
without chimney inspection and if needed, re-lining.
Fireplace hearth extension:
Are the thickness, depth, width of the hearth extension in compliance with both the manufacturer's installation requirements & building codes?
Is the hearth extension also pre-fabricated and is it a listed accessory approved by the fireplace manufacturer?
[Watch for wood trim that returns around a hearth extension and terminates in contact with the fire box.]
Fireplace insert add-ons:
|Fireplace instructions:
the manufacturer's instructions for maintenance & use of the fireplace should be left where it will be available to building occupants.
Fireplace parts:
Are all parts of the fireplace un-damaged & un-modified?
Have fire clearance spacers been bent, cut, modified? Are there material intrusions into the fireplace space that violate the clearance distances intended by the spacers?
Note: Baird (1991) reported that all of the fires associated with factory-built fireplaces that he studied (n=4) were related to installation errors.. [4]
And in the article introductory text above we describe finding a fireplace insert whose welded-on extensions intended to assure adequate clearance from wood combustibles had been hammered-flat by the installer so that he could force the fireplace into a too-small wood-framed enclosure - DF.
Fireplace support:
Fireplace mantel & trim:
Are there gaps or cracks between the trim and the fireplace? Are these gaps due to error or movement?
Are the fireplace mantel and trim around the fireplace hearth front at the required distance from the fireplace hearth front opening as required by the manufacturer's instructions & local building code?
Fuel used in fireplace:
Fuel quantity used in fireplace:
Watch out: the author's NY home [DF] caught fire in 1969 as a result of the combination of an improperly-constructed masonry fireplace (wood damper support left in place, in contact with wood wall framing, burned through) and the use of a wax log.
After the wax log had been ignited, visitors enjoyed poking at the log with a fireplace poker.
The log fell apart, suddenly and greatly increasing the level of combustion and heat in the fireplace, setting the wall above the hearth on fire.
Maintenance history:
Note: The fireplace and chimney manufacturers recommend cleaning procedures and minimum inspection and cleaning interval.
The actual required chimney cleaning interval will vary depending on the types fo fuel used, how the fireplace is used (combustion heat for example), and the amount of fireplace usage.
Rusted or damaged chimney or fireplace components:
Examples include a damper that has rusted through, a metal damper enclosure in the chimney throat rusted through, a metal fireplace insert rusted out at the chimney base.
Watch out: damaged, leaky gas fireplace vents or flues or other fireplace components risk more than a building fire, also risking fatal carbon monoxide poisoning

Some people think that Botox is only for women, but this is far from the truth. Plenty of men use Botox and it's just as effective in reducing wrinkles and helping to prevent new ones from forming. In reality, using Botox is no different than other things men do to look and feel their best, like go to the gym, use supplements, or cover the gray in their hair. If you think of it in these terms, Botox is just one more thing you can do to look younger and feel better – just like your gym membership! Here are some more common myths about Botox we wish to dispel today.
Using Botox is embarrassing
Most people don't want anyone to know that they've used Botox, but there's no need to be embarrassed. Using Botox is more popular than ever and as accepted as any other anti-aging, wrinkle-fighting tool on the market.
Botox is for vain people, isn't it?
Everyone wants to look their best, and that isn't vanity. In fact, when you look your best, you feel more confident. This directly impacts your quality of life and work performance. Botox can be the edge you need to feel like yourself, confident, and capable.
Botox is a tool that can help both men and women look and feel their best – it's that simple. It's no different than buying flattering clothes, going to the gym, or using anti-wrinkle cream around your eyes – it just lasts longer! So before you say no to Botox, think about all the other things you're doing to look and feel great and you just might change your mind!

NOTE: I'll get into this in the section on Helping Other Bloggers, but be sincere in your help. If you only seek out to get something out of someone else, you won't form a relationship with that person. I've liked Stephanie's blog and content since I first saw it. She has an amazing story of being broke in New York City, and she's built this amazing personal finance business in just a couple years. I help Stephanie because I like Stephanie, not because I want or expect to get anything out of the relationship.
As usual a top knotch post full of excellent advice, very easy to understand and follow. Just studying your posts is an object lesson in how these things are done. I, like many aspiring bloggers, am very familiar with the glazed look that passes over people's faces when I attempt to explain what my plans are! I think the primary problem is that we have been brought up to do business in a particular way. You make something therefore you get paid for it. Most business people feel there is something inherently wrong about a system where you provide huge amounts of valuable content free of charge and without obligation. The peception is that the model cannot be susstainable.

Most business people feel there is something inherently wrong about a system where you provide huge amounts of valuable content free of charge and without obligation. The peception is that the model cannot be susstainable.
Email marketing may generate you lots of money . The important is to develop a large subscriber list of your customers/visitors . When people signup to become a member , you get their email address . When people join your weekly newsletter , you get their email address . The a lot more ways there are to get someone's email address the much better .
Affiliate marketing is my absolute favorite way to make money blogging. I love it because it can feel quite passive. You can create just one blog or social media post, which can potentially still earn you money years down the line. Now, you will have to maintain the post and keep generating traffic to it. Still, affiliate marketing allows me to relax a little and enjoy life more, all while knowing that I am earning a great living by promoting products that I use and enjoy.
I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this one. I was blown away that you don't have ads on your site. I have ads on my site and I'm reading along thinking your advice is to forget the ads and sell products. As a food blogger, my mind goes to e-cookbooks, actual hold-in-your-hand cookbooks, books on how to start a food blog and how to do food photography. But according to this post, those I should sell later…the cheaper products. I can't think of what "services" I could offer, other than offering to come over and cook for them (not happening) and I'm not quite an expert at offering services of personally coaching someone's food blog. Maybe I'm just too green for that 🙂 Am I missing the point?
Write down every topic that you are knowledgeable or passionate about. You'll have a much easier time making money from a blog you are interested in, rather than trying to write content you don't like because you think it will make money.[1] Some examples are hobbies that you enjoy, your career, or some specific and miscellaneous knowledge that you have.
However, in regards to the part-time aspect of things, I was working a full-time job and committing myself further down a path that would've sapped my will to create and function artistically the further and further I went down that path. So I guess you could say it all collided into one giant "mirror moment", where I finally looked inside of myself and told my doubts you know what, I'm going to finally do this.
If your niche doesn't allow you to promote or build premium products (anything over around $100 per unit) then think about getting a solid mix of offerings and building it up over time. I remember Darren Rowse saying that initially Amazon Associates was a really small source of income but over the years it has really started to add up. Think eBooks, affiliates, consulting, books, etc. and you're starting to build an income stream.
Make it easy for readers to browse – If you want more page views, you should make it as easy as possible for readers to read your other blog posts. It should be easy for readers to find your blog homepage, categories, tags, search bar, and so on. Also, I recommend including links in every single one of your blog posts, which helps readers easily find related topics.
I went ahead and joined the Amazon affiliate program, but even though I get numerous clicks, there haven't been any conversions, yet. Because of this, I might get dropped, but you can always re-apply later. I just don't have enough traffic, yet. If I had to do it all over again, I would not have signed up for a program with time limits so soon. It feels like artificial pressure. I have three other affiliates; all of them relate to my blog content.
What is CPC? CPC stands for "cost per click." By displaying CPC ads with Google Adsense, you receive a set fee every time an ad on your website is clicked by a visitor. The cost per click is set by the advertiser. (This is in contrast to CPM ads, where you're paid for ad views instead of clicks. CPM means "cost per thousand impressions," where M is the roman numeral for 1,000.)
If you want to really make money with your blog, you need to create a mailing list using one of the billions of email service providers out there. I use and love ConvertKit, but if you are just getting started and don't understand sales funnels, sequences, or tagging you might want to start off with something simpler and free. If that is the case go with MailChimp where you get the first 2,000 subscribers free or Mailer Lite.
Fortunately, there are many resources available to help. In addition to the BlogHer events and site, some of my personal favorites for learning tips on writing compelling content, marketing and monetizing are Fizzle.com, MichaelHyatt.com and Problogger.net. All three provide lots of free advice (and more in-depth training and support is available for a fee).
If you're passionate about something, it will show in your content. Readers will be able to see your genuineness and will be attracted to that. This is probably the most important thing you will learn about blogging. You can try everything in the world and use every tool known to man to be successful, but if you're not genuine, people will see right through it.

CannTrust stock will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Monday, joining other Canadian marijuana stocks that listed on U.S. exchanges.
As a value investor, one of the most important things you can do is look at the management team of a company to determine how well the company will perform. Cannabis is said to be an industry that will grow to be a $500 billion industry. Cannabis is disrupting alcohol, tobacco and pharmaceuticals and will take revenues from these different industries. But, in order to get there, the companies involved need to create and brand these products with a global perspective and they need the talent that is capable of doing this with a global perspective.Tilray (TLRY) has just added four new executives to their ranks that will enable to company to reach their global branding and distribution goals. These individuals bring a lot of high level experience to the company:Greg Christopher: Executive Vice President of Operations. Greg Christopher has over 30 years of supply chain and operations having worked with the multi-national company Nestle SA having recently worked for Nestle Canada. Greg will oversee strategic development for Tilray's global operations.Rita Seguin: Executive Vice President for Human Resources. Rita Seguin has worked for both Senior Vice President of Human Resources for Diagio North America and Glazers Wine & Spirits Distribution. This experience will be instrumental in bringing on key individuals for Tilray to expand into the global role the company plans on taking.Dara Redler: General Counsel. Dara Redler has worked as Vice President and Senior Counsel for Coca-Cola North America. In her role as Tilray General Counsel, Dara will oversee the strategic global growth of Tilray.Charlie Cain: Vice President of Retail. Charlie Cain has worked as Vice President of Concept Development and Franchising for Starbucks Corporation. Charlie brings more than 15 years of retail experience to Tilray.Tilray is a cannabis company incorporated in the United States, headquartered in British Columbia, CA and has operations in Australia & New Zealand, Germany, Portugal, and Latin America. The company has multiple products that are either THC based, CBD based, or a hybrid of both. Being able to bring these products to a global market is crucial in the competitive cannabis industry. This industry is just starting out and so a company will want to focus on its efficiency and being able to get its supply chains in order. Having key players with the experience these four bring to the company will go a long way to do so.Does Tilray Have Value?Tilray has been the subject of a lot of debate as to how expensive the company's stock is relative to the value they can bring to future growth. The company's stock shot upwards in spectacular fashion after its first IP offering. Initially, the stock moved from the initial public offering of $17.00 to $300.00 in a very short period of time. Since then, the stock has settled down.The initial moves garnered a great deal of attention for pot stocks. This drew in a lot of outside investors looking for more spectacular moves. Now, Tilray needs to prove their current stock price has merit. Adding crucial talent to management will go a long way for the company to solidify itself within the industry, earn its share of the growing revenue base and ultimately provide value to the company. For me, I have been hyper-critical of the current valuation of Tilray's stock. However, while I have taken short positions on the stock - and been quite profitable on moves downward - I am waiting for my next move. I believe the stock should be trading around $25.00 - $35.00 per share; it is 2-3 times that price.It is my contention that the company does not have enough resources to produce enough cannabis and earn enough revenue to merit its current stock price and market capitalization. While the new management will add a great deal of expertise to create a global business, the company remains constrained with their limited production capacity and potential revenue they could earn.However, this does not mean an investor should simply sell the stock short, either. Tilray stock has remained lofted and stubborn despite many being aware of the hype with Tilray. There is a limited number of shares that are traded openly; the float. This may be the reason the stock has remained stubbornly high. I keep a sharp eye towards the total volume of Tilray stock traded and the insider trades to see if those that are holding the stock remain committed to holding for longer periods of time. From here, we will see if Tilray expands their capabilities and is able to justify their market capitalization, a touchy issue with investors like myself.Check out the articles in this category focused on cannabis stocks.

Green Thumb Industries Acquires For Success Holding CompanyGreen Thumb Industries closes its acquisition of For Success Holding CompanyToday, in a press release, Green Thumb Industries (GTBIF) announced that it has completed its acquisition of For
Moody's Investors Service said that Compass Group Diversified Holdings LLC's ("Compass" or NYSE: CODI) announcement that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its majority-owned subsidiary FHF Holdings Ltd. -- dba Manitoba Harvest ("MH"), a hemp-based foods and ingredient company -- to Tilray Inc. (TLRY) for an aggregate purchase price of up to C$419 million is a credit positive development but does not impact CODI's ratings, including its B1 Corporate Family Rating (CFR), SGL-2 speculative grade liquidity rating, and stable ratings outlook. Compass Group Diversified Holdings LLC is a publicly traded company (CODI) that holds majority ownership interests in nine distinct unrelated operating subsidiaries (pro forma for the sale of Manitoba Harvest), including 5.11 Tactical, Velocity Outdoor (formerly Crosman), Advanced Circuits, Sterno Products, Clean Earth, Arnold Magnetics, Liberty Safe, Foam Fabricators and Ergobaby.
Aurora Cannabis (NYSE:ACB) has pulled back in recent days. ACB stock sold off on a mildly disappointing earnings report and the reshuffling of its board of directors. Furthermore, it faces concerns as many of its peers have moved into the U.S. hemp market ahead of them. However, given production increases and the likelihood of entering the U.S. market soon, I expect Aurora stock to move higher in the near term.Source: Shutterstock By just about any measure, ACB stock appears expensive. The equity trades at over 56 times sales. Its forward P/E ratio also exceeds 300. Its saving grace is that the other three Canadian cannabis companies among the top four -- Canopy Growth (NYSE:CGC), Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY), and Cronos (NASDAQ:CRON) -- see similarly outsized financial metrics. These stocks also cratered after marijuana gained official legal status in Canada. Fortunately for ACB and its peers, the pre-legalization hype returns as the U.S. moves toward nationwide legalization. The Farm Bill signed late last year legalized industrial hemp. This is the segue Canadian companies have begun to use to enter the U.S. market. As more states adopt medical and recreational weed, both the legalization and the stock price hype continue to build. Concerns Remain for ACB StockAdmittedly, investors who have become paranoid from too much recreational weed use can find reasons to panic. The Q2 earnings report became a slight disappointment due to excise taxes and lowered net pricing. Moreover, Tilray's decision to purchase Manitoba Harvest makes it the largest Canadian player in the U.S. hemp industry. This has caused some concern as Aurora has not yet moved into the U.S. hemp market.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips * The 10 Best Cheap Stocks to Buy Right Now Changes in its board of directors may also cause concern. However, this was mostly current board members shifting positions on the board. Chairman of the board Michael Singer is now executive chairman. This will involve Mr. Singer more in the firm's day-to-day operations.Still, all this news led to a muted reaction. ACB stock price fell from the mid-$7 per share range to around $7 per share. While I do not think I would classify this as a "buying opportunity," I also do not see any of this news as a reason to sell ACB stock. The new board arrangement could help the company. Moreover, given Canopy's and Tilray's moves into the U.S. hemp market, Aurora will probably follow suit soon.Moreover, Aurora increased production by 502% on a year-over-year basis, higher than Canopy's 334% increase. Canopy still produced 10,102 kg in the prior quarter, higher than Aurora's 6,999 kg. Still, production increases continue as legal weed remains in short supply.A bigger question for investors likely involves not whether ACB stock will rise, but whether it will outperform its peers. Although I expect Aurora stock to perform well, it is not my favorite in the sector. In this industry, I recommend one of two things. I would either choose Canopy or Tilray as they are the top two stocks. Or, I would go with a relative value play such as HEXO (NYSEAMERICAN:HEXO) or CannTrust (NYSE:CTST). Their comparatively low P/E ratios make them possible buyout candidates. If that does not happen, they could catch up to larger peers on valuation over time. The Bottom Line on ACB StockNonetheless, Aurora should move higher soon due to production increases and a likely move into the new U.S. hemp market. Yes, earnings slightly disappointed investors. And the lack of an announcement on U.S. hemp may also concern some investors. Even if a CGC or a TLRY become a better buy, I see ACB stock moving higher.Yes, it is expensive, but so are most of its peers. Legal cannabis remains in short supply, and Aurora continues to increase production. Also, assuming it wants to remain among the four largest cannabis stocks, one can safely assume that plans are underway to enter the U.S. hemp market. * 7 Healthy Dividend Stocks to Buy for Extra Stability For these reasons, I do not think stockholders should worry about whether Aurora will rise. I think the bigger question involves whether ACB will perform better than its peers? Only time can answer that question.As of this writing, Will Healy is long CTST stock.

announced Wednesday that it was acquiring FHF Holdings Ltd., the parent company of hemp-food maker Manitoba Harvest, from a U.S. private-equity firm for up to C$419 million ($315 million) in cash and stock. "Tilray's acquisition of Manitoba Harvest is a milestone for the cannabis industry. It builds on the strategic partnerships we have formed with consumer brand industry leaders and demonstrates our track record of disrupting the global pharmaceutical, alcohol, CPG, and functional food and beverage categories," Tilray CEO Brendan Kennedy said in a statement.
Generations earlier, many people believed cannabis to be a harmful substance and demanded that the federal government keep it out of the hands of consumers, but as we've come to understand, cannabis has a myriad of health benefits and is nothing to be afraid of. Over the past few years, cannabis companies have continued to release new products with medical cannabis for the purpose of improving the quality of treatment options available for consumers in the healthcare space. ), Aphria Inc (APHA), Emerald Health Therapeutics Inc (EMHTF) (EMH.V) and Tilray Inc (TLRY) are four companies that could test February highs.

Buyer goes ahead with purchase of shredded Banksy painting
The auction house said the artwork had been granted a certificate by Banksy's authentication body and has given a new title, 'Love is in the Bin'.
LONDON - The woman who bid more than £1 million for a painting by the mysterious British artist Banksy which shred itself into pieces at the moment of the sale has gone ahead with the purchase, auction house Sotheby's said on Thursday.
Onlookers gasped and laughed after the bottom half of Girl with Balloon, one of Banksy's best-known works, was sucked into a shredder hidden in its frame as the hammer fell last Friday after a bid of £1,042,000 ($1.38 million) - matching Banksy's all-time record.
"When the hammer came down last week and the work was shredded, I was at first shocked, but gradually I began to realise that I would end up with my own piece of art history," the buyer, an unnamed female European collector, said according to Sotheby's.
The buyer, a female European collector and a long-standing client of Sotheby's, is proceeding with the purchase at the same price as was achieved in the room on the night. #LoveIsInTheBin #Banksy pic.twitter.com/IAwevnlHFP— Sotheby's (@Sothebys) October 11, 2018
The auction house said the artwork had been granted a certificate by Banksy's authentication body and has given a new title, Love is in the Bin.
"Banksy didn't destroy an artwork in the auction, he created one," said Alex Branczik, Sotheby's Head of Contemporary Art, Europe.
Banksy himself posted an Instagram picture of shocked attendees watching the painting disintegrate last week, with the caption: "Going, going, gone..."
The artist, whose real identity is unknown, is known for sharply ironic outdoor graffiti with political themes, including at Israel's barrier at the West Bank and Disneyland where he painted a life-size figure of a Guantanamo Bay detainee.
Once a small-time graffiti artist from the English city of Bristol, Banksy's work has become hugely valuable.

NEWS22 April 2015
UK — Despite the financial woes of Tesco as it announced a £6.4bn loss, the food retail sector is one of the top performers for customer satisfaction despite a drop since last year.
Even though customer satisfaction continues to fall, retail food is one of the top performing sectors according to the latest UK Customer Satisfaction Index (UKCSI) from The Institute of Customer Service. It had a score of 79.6 compared with the all sector average of 76.
Retail food is the second-highest scoring sector (out of 13 ) for customer satisfaction, despite falling 1.3 points between July 2014 and January 2015, compared with the 0.3 points drop in the UKCSI all-sector average.
A correlation between customer satisfaction and business success is seen in the retail food sector more than any other – food retailers with UKCSI scores above the sector average delivered 8.2% year on year sales growth in the 12 weeks to 12th October 2014. Those performing below this average experienced a sales decrease of 1.9% over the same period.
Jo Causon, chief executive from The Institute of Customer Service said: "Customer service and satisfaction is not just about dealing with complaints, it is about responding to customers – providing goods and services that are relevant to them and doing so in a way that is easy, efficient and where a problem does arise, it is dealt with in a prompt and professional way."

Oberlin requires a general personal essay as well as a short essay (250 words) responding to the question, "How did your interest in Oberlin develop and what aspects of our college community most excite you?" For your personal essay, you may choose from the Common Application or Coalition Application essay prompts listed below, or write on the topic of your choice.
It would be dishonest to say everything went smoothly. I thought the dough should be thick. One team member thought it should be thin. The other thought our circles were squares. A fundamental truth about collaboration is that it's never uncontentious. Everyone has their own expectations about how things should be done. Everyone wants a project to go their way. Collaboration requires observing the differences between the collaborators and finding a way to synthesize everyone's contributions into a solution that is mutually agreeable.
With 100 words, you can only focus on one or two elements of your life. Think about your biggest selling points – the things that show you are the ideal candidate. Start by introducing yourself and your educational status. Then jump into the main topic of the essay. You may not have room to mention how the scholarship will help your education. Instead, mention how your education can help your career. The other information will be implied.
1) That the world is ruled by underwear. There is a variety of underwear for a variety of people. You have your ironed briefs for your businessmen, your soft cottons for the average, and hemp-based underwear for your environmental romantics. But underwear do not only tell us about who we are, they also influence our daily interactions in ways most of us don't even understand. For example, I have a specific pair of underwear that is holey, worn out but surprisingly comfortable. And despite how trivial underwear might be, when I am wearing my favorite pair, I feel as if I am on top of the world. In any case, these articles of clothing affect our being and are the unsung heroes of comfort.
At the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at State University, I will be able to do just that. In a department where education and research are intermixed, I can continue to follow the path that towards scientific excellence. Long-mesmerized by hobbies like my work with the FIRST Robotics team, I believe State University would be the best choice to continue to nurture my love for electrical and computer engineering. I have only scratched the surface in this ever evolving field but know that the technological potential is limitless. Likewise, I feel that my time at State University would make my potential similarly limitless.

(Bonus: starting early will also give you time to hand a strong draft of your essay to the teachers from whom you plan to request recommendation letters. If your recommenders know what you're saying about yourself, they can help tell the same story about you—only from a different perspective. This is crucial because your application is a chance to offer not only the facts about you but also a narrative of you—a sense of who you are, how you move through the world, and what you hope to become. That means each component of your application—your Common App personal statement, your secondary essays, your teacher recommendations, the classes you've taken—is a kind of episode in the story.)
Interestingly, after studying foreign languages, I was further intrigued by my native tongue. Through my love of books and fascination with developing a sesquipedalian lexicon (learning big words), I began to expand my English vocabulary. Studying the definitions prompted me to inquire about their origins, and suddenly I wanted to know all about etymology, the history of words. My freshman year I took a world history class and my love for history grew exponentially. To me, history is like a great novel, and it is especially fascinating because it took place in my own world.
So now, make a list of everything that seems like a fruitful topic. From the questions and prompts, you should find that you have 3-5 strong topic areas and stories—stuff that got you thinking and feeling, and which produced what Hemingway called the "honest sentences" that comprise good writing. Start with the one that moves you most—that's your personal statement—but save all the others as fodder for your secondaries, or as backup material in case someone you trust tells you to consider switching topics for some reason. (Tip: the stuff that isn't always linked to an anecdote or story but is important to you can often be useful for those secondaries.)
We talked a lot about whether Josh would do best avoiding writing about piano—it's the main thing on his resumé and sometimes it can be good to show things off-resumé, as Ramya and Anita plan to. Josh did some writing about his relationship with his sister and his brother, and that might find a home in the secondary essays. But it became clear that Josh has an obsessive, if not always positive, relationship with piano, and so there's something there.

List the educational & career goals. Begin with the current learning goals (why you attend specific college/university, the main reasons to choose the specific field and reasons to obtain financial support). Mention the long-term goals next. Write about the skills you plan to obtain during the study process, how they can be used to help the local community, ways to reciprocate the experience obtained from the society.
Superstring theory has revolutionized speculation about the physical world by suggesting that strings play a pivotal role in the universe. Strings, however, always have explained or enriched our lives, from Theseus's escape route from the Labyrinth, to kittens playing with balls of yarn, to the single hair that held the sword above Damocles, to the Old Norse tradition that one's life is a thread woven into a tapestry of fate, to the beautiful sounds of the finely tuned string of a violin, to the children's game of cat's cradle, to the concept of stringing someone along. Use the power of string to explain the biggest or the smallest phenomenon.
The Richmond Question: For 2018-19, please choose one of the following essay prompts: (1) What is an urgent global challenge or social justice topic about which you are passionate? What solutions or outcomes do you hope to see? (2) By the time you graduate from college, there will be jobs that don't exist today. Describe one of them and how Richmond might prepare you for it. (3) You are required to spend the next year in either the past or the future. To what year would you travel and why? (650 words)
Colleges will sometimes also have a place to offer additional information or context about hardships you might have faced during high school. This is another place you could consider explaining or adding context for bad grades or the like. Even here, it's important to not simply state, "I had bad grades but improved them." A better explanation provides context and explains what specifically helped you turn things around, for example: "During my freshman year, as my parents went through a difficult divorce, I became distracted and stressed, and my grades suffered as a result. I was able to work with my teachers over the summer after my freshman year, however, and attended summer school to make up for weak performance. My family also repaired itself after a few years and time in family therapy. Though I regret my poor grades from ninth grade, I am proud that I was able to improve quickly as a sophomore, and that I developed both stronger study habits and tactics for dealing with emotional stress as a result." The second answer is specific and also demonstrates maturity gained thanks to a difficult period.
Yes, I know it's still summer break. However, the essay is already posted on our website here and isn't going to change before the application opens on September 1. Take a look, and start to formulate your plan. Brainstorm what you are going to tell us — focus on why you are interested in the major you chose. If you are choosing the Division of General Studies, tells us about your passions, your career goals, or the different paths you are interested in exploring.
At 13, I was an ordinary teenage girl. I had my favorite movie stars, my secret crushes, and I probably ate too much chocolate. School mattered very little to me and learning even less. I worried about getting good grades in school but only to please my parents. My happy life consisted of sweet treats and even sweeter thoughts, an endless array of bite-sized banality. All that changed the summer of my 13th year, the year my older sister went away to college.
College application essays don't have to be a drag – and these schools prove it. They've created some of the most outlandish, thought-provoking and original essay questions out there. Here are the 15 schools that think outside the box, when it comes to admissions essay, with some examples of our favorite questions they're asking on The Common Application this year. Now, it's up to you to impress admissions officers with a response that measures up. Amongst the schools with the most create assortments were Lehigh University, Tufts University and Wake Forest, though we've decided to remain (sort of) impartial and list the schools with the most creatively candid questions in alphabetical order. The following 15 schools had some of our favorite imaginative college admissions essay questions begging the question: how would you answer?
Through my experience as a volunteer that communicates a lot with parents, I have learned that the American Dream does not simply belong to first generation students like myself. I have found that our accomplishments are stacked upon the sacrifices of our parents. I used to think that growing up was like the passing of a baton where you're the next runner and it's your turn to run your best race, but I now see that this is a team effort, as you expand your horizons your family also gets to experience the benefits. I want to demonstrate to my community that there can be a female, bilingual, Latina doctor. I want to showcase that one's zip code, doesn't determines one's success. One of the most common questions I get at these parent meetings is "what's better college or university"? This question didn't make sense to me at first then I realized that parents wanted to know the difference between community college and a four year. Concepts like financial aid, grants, loans, are all foreign concepts as most of our parents never went to college. They want to be able to help but do not know where to begin. As a student ambassador I helped bridge that gap. We often held meetings where we explained to parents within our community what resources were out there and available and what the difference were among the different options for each student. Being the student face for Animo, I've learned that I as a student and daughter, can provide assistance to my own community through the knowledge that I have gained. I am the communication that is needed in my community that's necessary for further successes by using my personal knowledge and experience to help uplift and educate others in similar situations.

"That man in the plaid shirt is stealing the eggs from their mothers again," the chicken thinks the next day as he unlocks the cage. Then the man reaches into the wooden coop, his back to the entrance. "Now!" At its own cue, the chicken scurries towards the opening and exits unseen. With a backwards glance at his friends, the chicken feels a profound sadness and pity for their ignorance. It wants to urge them to open their eyes, to see what they are sacrificing for materialistic pleasures, but he knows they will not surrender the false reality. Alone, the chicken dashes away.
Even a personal statement can have a thesis. It's important to remember that, though your ending can be somewhat ambiguous—something we'll discuss more later—your set-up should give the reader a clear sense of where we're headed. It doesn't have to be obvious, and you can delay the thesis for a paragraph or two (as this writer does), but at some point in the first 100 words or so, we need to know we're in good hands. We need to trust that this is going to be worth our time.

All Common App essays must show your personality, identity, and aspirations, as well as spark discussions on interests, character, values, and community. The goal for any Common App essay is to impart a lasting, authentic image and sense of yourself on the reader. When you're writing and hit a mental block, don't hesitate to refer back to the Core Four questions a good Common App essay must answer, and always check whether or not the ideas in your essay reflect the characteristics you want to convey about yourself.
Using words in your essay that you don't typically use in your daily conversations can sound awkward and forced. Words have nuance to them, and simply inserting a word from the thesaurus is a great way to destroy that nuance. Thesaurus abuse is a lazy and easily spotted trick, and seasoned admissions officers will see right through it. If you feel that you're overusing a particular word, think of alternatives on your own without consulting a thesaurus; using words that you're familiar with will help you avoid misusing them.
